Chapter 1155: The Man Who Trusts
A letter, in the hands of the messenger, was turned over the mountains and rivers, and finally delivered to someone in Luocheng. When he opened the letter and swept his gaze on the letterhead, his face suddenly changed: "No wonder I can't find her, it turns out that she is in Jiangcheng Taishou Mansion." Looking down further, when she saw the matter of the river god sacrifice, Luo Yu gasped, and her hand clenched the letter with a little more force, "How can this be, she has suffered so much in Jiangcheng!" ”
His confidant Yang San stood behind Luo Yu, and saw the expression on his face change, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were a little puzzled.
"Eldest Prince, what's wrong?"
Luo Yu took back the letter: "Let the people you sent to find come back, Luo Lian'er's whereabouts have been determined, at this moment, she is in the Jiangcheng Taishou Mansion, together with the national teacher, and the envelope clearly writes what happened." Yang San has been with Luo Yu since he was a child, and he can be said to be a cronie among his cronies, because Luo Yu did not shy away from it, and directly handed the letter to him.
After reading the letter, Yang San's face also changed slightly: "I never expected that there would be such bad habits in this world, and Miss was so unlucky to be selected as a sacrifice....... The subordinates heard that the person who was selected to be a sacrifice was going to be pushed into the river and drowned, but fortunately, the young lady was blessed with a great life, and she got the nine plains of the national teacher halfway. ”
Luo Yu pressed her temples with a faint pain: "If she is really blessed with a great life, where will she still encounter these moths?" ”
Yang San cautiously looked at the other party's expression and asked him, "What are you going to do, eldest prince?" ”
The letter did not mention what happened to Luo Lian'er when she went to the Taishou Mansion, but from some obscure words, Luo Yu understood Yu's hopeless thoughts, and he hoped that Luo Cheng would send someone to bring Luo Lian'er back.
Luo Yu guessed what happened with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice: "I suspect that she is in trouble over there, otherwise, with the temper of the national teacher, she will never drive people away, let alone urge us to move faster....... I plan to take a trip to Jiangcheng in person and pick her up. ”
Yang San nodded: "That's fine....... No, no, you can't go, eldest son! ”
Since the change in the enemy camp, the enemy army has withdrawn to the other side of the river, and he has behaved very peacefully, as if he has no intention of attacking the city at all, but Yang San still often feels uneasy, as if something will happen in the next second. Luo Cheng up and down, after Gong Ao left, Luo Yu took care of it alone, if Luo Yu also left, what would Luo Cheng do? In case the enemy army gets the news and raises troops to attack Luocheng, who can preside over the overall situation of Luocheng? Among Luo Yu's cronies, Yang San is the most trusted, but Yang San is a martial artist, he can fight fiercely, and he can also go into battle, but he really can't manage a city at all.
"Eldest prince, if you leave, then Luo Cheng will have no backbone!"
Why didn't Luo Yu know this? But this time he had to go: "She is my sister, the eldest brother is like a father, although she may not recognize me, but I cannot stand idly by in her affairs." And if she really causes trouble in Jiangcheng, someone has to help her clean up the mess. ”
Except for herself, Luo Yu couldn't find a second candidate, after all, Luo Lian'er's sibling brother was a more stupid waste than her, and Luo Yu didn't expect him to do anything.
"What about Luo Cheng?" Yang San had a bitter face.
From Luocheng to Jiangcheng, although the journey is not far, but it will take a few days to go back and forth, Luo Yu goes, I don't know when I will be able to come back. Now is a critical moment for the confrontation between the two armies, war may happen at any time, after Luo Yu leaves, who can guarantee that there will be no war? If the enemy army really hits the door, Luo Cheng, who has no backbone, will definitely become a mess!
The stakes were high, and Yang San had to guess in the worst direction.
Fortunately, Luo Yu could understand his mood at this moment, and said with a slightly gloomy face: "I know your concerns, don't worry, I will definitely take care of these things before leaving." ”
The so-called stability of the overall situation in Luo Yu's mouth is that when a person comes back, when he reads the letter, that person's face appears in his mind. For him, this is not just a matter of having to go in person, but also a fitting opportunity.
Luo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'll go to the barracks." ”
Yang San looked at his expression, and suddenly understood that the eldest prince must want to take this opportunity to invite Gong Ao back!
Gong Ao can be said to be the smartest among the Luo family's staff, and Luo Yu also trusts him the most, with him, Luo Cheng will definitely be able to be stable.
It's just that the eldest prince can really invite Gong Ao back?
Looking at Luo Yu's back as he walked away, Yang San twisted his brows into a Sichuan character.
I have to say that the concerns in his heart are correct, when Luo Yu expressed his intentions, Shen Haoran was the first to object, his already cold face became more and more gloomy, and the first thing he said was categorical: "No!" ”
On the way here, Luo Yu had already imagined Shen Haoran's possible reaction, so he was not surprised at all when the other party said the words of refusal without hesitation. After all, that was the younger brother Shen Haoran had been looking for, and he owed Gong Ao a debt, so he naturally didn't want the other party to get involved in right and wrong. It is understandable that Luo Yu will not give up easily if he wants to insist on something, he hooked the corners of his lips and said with a gentle smile: "Why not, doesn't General Shen think that Luo Cheng is more suitable for recuperation than the military camp?" ”
Although Shen Haoran's battalion has never been short of logistics, it is not as comfortable as life in the city after all.
Luo Yu grasped this point: "If I guessed correctly, now the injuries on Gong Ao's body have not completely recovered, although my Luocheng is not as prosperous as the capital, there is no shortage of rare medicinal materials that should be available, not only that, there are several doctors in Luocheng City whose medical skills are comparable to Hua Tuo's living........"
If the first few sentences successfully shook Shen Haoran's mind, then the latter sentence was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Shen Haoran clenched the tea cup in his hand, staring at the floating tea leaves fixedly, and his mood was already turbulent.
The reason why he left Gong Ao in the barracks was because of Gong Ao's relationship with himself, all these years, Shen Haoran has always wanted to find his younger brother and make up for the hardships he has suffered over the years, and now he finally got the opportunity, and the other party's attitude has also softened under his warm offensive, when it is critical, let him give up, what is the difference between asking for his life? All the previous efforts were turned into ashes, which Shen Haoran didn't want to see! But thinking of Luo Yu's last sentence, his firm heart was shaken again.
Gong Ao left, and he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to meet again.
Two diametrically opposed thoughts were entangled in Shen Haoran's heart, like a pair of heads pulling each other, giving him a headache.
Luo Yu saw all this in his eyes, and coughed lightly and proposed: "Since General Shen has no way to make a choice, why don't you throw the question to Gong Ao?" He has always been an assertive person with his own ideas, whether he will go back or not, he will naturally make the choice he wants. ”
At the moment, it seems that this is the only way.
Shen Haoran sighed softly, waved his hand and said: "Then you go and tell him yourself, whether you want to go with you or not, let him decide for himself, no matter what choice he makes, I, as a brother, will support it." ”
Luo Yu glared at this reply, and his eyes lit up: "Thank you, General Shen." ”
He slowly withdrew from the tent.
The way to the camp where Gong Ao lived, Luo Yu had already clearly recorded it in his heart, since he learned that Gong Ao was in the barracks, he ran to the barracks when he was free, in Yang San's words, even ten horses may not be able to pull him. It's just that he has been here so many times, Luo Yu didn't officially meet Gong Ao, he just glanced at him from a distance, and he didn't mean to confess his whereabouts to the other party, Gong Ao didn't even know that he had been here!
On the way to see Gong Ao, Luo Yu imagined countless possibilities in advance, such as what if Gong Ao turned around and ran away when he saw him, and what should he do if Gong Ao was unwilling to return to Luo Cheng with him? Luo Yu has thought carefully about all kinds of assumptions and solutions in his mind, and it can be said that he is thoughtful!
However, the world is always unpredictable, and none of the methods he thought of were of any use, because as soon as Gong Ao saw him, he hurried forward.
"The eldest son!"
The joy and excitement in those eyes were like a shining pearl, and for a while, Luo Yu, who was full of shame in his heart, didn't even dare to meet his eyes, his eyes were flickering, and he said nervously: "Gong Ao, I thought you would turn around and run away when you saw me, or you didn't want to talk to me." ”
Gong Ao was stunned in place, and said suspiciously: "Why do you want to turn around and run?" On the contrary, it was you, the eldest prince, who didn't hide like before this time. ”
Luo Yu's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, it turned out that what he thought he had hidden well was just self-deception, Gong Ao had already found out! But if you think about it carefully, how could a shrewd person like Gong Ao not find himself dragging mud and water? The corners of his lips hooked up with a wry smile, and Luo Yu said with a complicated expression: "I thought I was hiding it well, but I didn't expect you to find out a long time ago." Since you know I've come to see you more than once, why don't you just talk to me? I haven't seen you move before. ”
Gong Ao looked at Luo Yu with a smile: "The eldest prince refuses to come out, I, as a subordinate, naturally can't take the initiative to debunk it." ”
When he said this, Luo Yu's sadness was even more aroused: "Gong Ao, don't you blame me?" ”
"Blame the eldest prince? Where does this statement come from? ”
Could it be that the tangled things that he has been thinking about are so insignificant in the eyes of Gong Ao? Luo Yu said hesitantly: "That's it, I don't believe in you, and I'll drive you away." ”
