Chapter 7: The Great Change (2)
All day, Luo Qi was taking care of his mother and did not return to the Qing Pavilion.
In the evening, Luo's mother was much better, and she looked a little more energetic. She looked at her daughter's busy figure, felt a little guilty in her heart, and gently called Luo Qi.
In order not to let his subordinates disturb his mother's rest, Luo Qi dismissed them and took care of his mother personally. Earlier, she had instructed her servants to cook some porridge, and she was about to go to the kitchen to get some when she heard her mother calling.
Luo Qi looked at Luo's mother, she was getting up slowly, her movements were a little weak. Seeing this, Luo Qi walked over quickly, and reached out to help her up.
Luo Qi helped Luo's mother to sit on the soft couch in the room, and Luo's mother motioned for Luo Qi to sit on the other side.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while.
"Mother, are you hungry? Xiaoqi will go and get you some food. ”
"No, I'm not hungry." Luo's mother paused and looked up at Luo Qi.
"Xiaoqi, listen carefully, what your mother says next is very important."
Luo Qi thought that her mother was talking about the summoning order, and thought that she had news of her father and brother, so she immediately responded obediently, with a calm face, but her hands were clenched tightly.
"We, the people of the Locke family, have been protectors for generations. Your father also told you that our mission is to protect our family and defend the country. ”
Mother Luo smiled bitterly, "Your father, he has always told me that he has been fighting horses for half his life, he can be safe and stable for the country and the people, and he is willing to die on the battlefield." That fool, who allowed him to have this idea, he didn't even ask me if I agreed......"
Mother Luo cried quietly as she spoke.
Luo Qi was a little panicked, and hurriedly took a handkerchief to help Luo's mother wipe away her tears.
"Mother, mother, don't be like this, tell me, what's wrong with my father and brother, what's wrong?"
Mother Luo hugged the daughter in front of her, pillowed her head on her shoulder, and tears dripped down her back.
"Xiaoqi, this time...... In this duckweed battle, your father and Jue'er ...... Killed on the battlefield. ”
Luo Qi's head suddenly went blank, his body stiffened, and the handkerchief he was holding in his hand fell to the ground.
Daddy and brother? Killed on the battlefield?
No, it won't. Daddy is so powerful, and my brother is not bad, no.
Luo Qi pushed away Mother Luo slightly, put his hands on her shoulders, and looked into her eyes.
"Mother, don't scare Xiaoqi, it's not true, Daddy will send someone to send a message back later......"
Mother Luo did not respond to her daughter's words, but carefully took her daughter's hand.
"Xiaoqi Xiaoqi, you promise your mother, promise your mother, don't be a general in the future, we don't want this hereditary title, what is the inheritance of the military rank, that is a cage...... A cage ......"
That night, Luo's mother was tired of crying and fell asleep.
Luo Qi numbly watched his mother fall asleep, and returned to the Qing Pavilion like a walking corpse.
The night was cold, Yinya was guarding the door of the Qing Pavilion, a cold wind blew, she shivered, and wrapped her clothes tightly.
Seeing that her young lady hadn't returned for a long time, and seeing that it was already her son, Yinya guessed that the young lady should not come back, but she didn't want to look up and saw her own young lady.
Yinya's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly saw Luo Qi's eyes red, and hurriedly ran over.
"Miss, what's the matter...... What's wrong? "She had been with her for five years, and in her memory, she had never cried, and for the first time, she had seen her cry.
"Silver Sprout! That one...... It's true. Daddy and brother, gone. ”
Luo Qi tried to say it in a flat tone, but Yinya still heard the tremor in her voice.
"Miss, if you want to cry, just cry!"
"No, I don't want to, I'm going to pull myself together, I can't be cowardly."
Yinya looked at the young lady pretending to be strong, and felt a little distressed. All she can do is stay with her.
……
Soon after, the news of the death of the Locke father and son on the battlefield spread throughout the Chen Kingdom, and everyone was terrified.
Just when everyone thought that the battle of duckweed would be fought for a long time, Qi suddenly withdrew its troops, and the generals of Chen quickly repelled the soldiers and horses of Shanguo, and the battle ended so abruptly.
This war caused Chen to lose many generals and soldiers, and Emperor Chen also ordered the people of the whole country to "see off" the deceased.
In order to appease the Locke family, Emperor Chen also went to the Locke family to "see off" the father and son. This move is praised by the world, what a loving minister, a righteous monarch!
It is worth mentioning that I heard that Deputy General Yuan Kaiyuan, who followed General Luo Da on the expedition, skillfully repelled the soldiers and horses of the good country, which made the war end abruptly and saved the later military expenditure.
Emperor Chen was happy about this, and the special general Yuan Kai was promoted from a deputy general to a general, and sent him to guard the junction of Chen and Qi, and the world praised Chen Guo for having another general.
And the Locke family still retains the title of the General's Mansion, but it has existed in name only. Slowly, it faded out of the public eye.
……
Unconsciously, two years have passed since the end of the duckweed war, there has been little change in the past two years, and the three kingdoms are relatively harmonious, and the people live according to their schedules, and the only major change is Luofu.
If the Luo Mansion two years ago was the existence of all eyes and admiration, then the current Luo Mansion can be said to be bullied by everyone.
There is no military merit, and the corpse is vegetarian, which causes some ambitious people to be dissatisfied.
A year and a half ago, Luo's mother died of illness, and Emperor Chen considered that the orphans of the Luo family had no one to take care of, so he specially found the Luo family to live next to the Luo family and lived in the Luo Mansion to take care of them, and also gave ten thousand taels of gold to appease.
The side Luo Cheng's family originally lived in Yucheng, a small city, and it can be regarded as a "overlord of one party" in the local area.
There is not much contact between the collateral and the descendant itself, and it is not much affection. was suddenly arranged by the king of a country to the lord's house in the imperial capital, Luo Cheng felt panicked and secretly happy at the same time.
The imperial capital, a place where power and fame coexist, how desirable.
The lineage is sluggish, the side line is strong, and Emperor Chen specially came to find it, so you can imagine how unscrupulous the side line is.
Because of the domineering and domineering nature of the children of the Luo family, this also caused the common people to be dissatisfied with the Luo Mansion and complain about the inaction of the main family.
Since the side family lived in Luo's Mansion, Luo Qi and his younger brother's lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The side Luo Cheng family became the owners of Luo's mansion, and Luo Qi and Luo Yuan, who were descendants, became "transparent people" with the identity of heroes and orphans.
There are quite a lot of lofts in Luo's Mansion, but they directly occupied Luo Fengji and Luo Jue's residence without saying a word.
They didn't dare to move the Qing Pavilion and the Cloud Pavilion because there were silver buds and silver ancients.
In fact, as soon as the convening order of the dark department is issued, if the members of the dark department still fail to protect the master after doing their best, if the master dies, the dark department will automatically disband, and the members can restore their free bodies.
Yinya Yin Gu stayed by their side because of Luo Fengji's order, and now that Luo Fengji is dead, they can leave.
But Yinya chose to stay, she grew up watching Miss, and after this series of changes, she wanted to accompany Miss.
Yin Gu had a cold temperament and didn't talk much, so he chose to stay and silently guard Luo Yuan, which even Luo Qi was surprised.
