Chapter 39: Jiuqiu Luo Clan (5)
The mother and son in the hall were still talking softly.
Luo Jia listened to his son tell about his recent experience, and earnestly admonished: "You have a special identity, and you can bear half of the country, which is very important. The next is feared and suspicious, and it is difficult to move step by step. You showed your skills in Chongwu and rescued the abolished prince of Chaoyan, once you are known by Emperor Hao, it will definitely attract suspicion. If he sees you as an uncontrollable threat, the whole of Daze may be implicated. And with Jiuqiu's current national strength, it can't help you much. ”
She was born in a royal family, and now she is in charge of a country, and she knows the emperor's mind very well.
Luo Yao nodded, "I understand." Mother, rest assured, I'm not someone who doesn't know how to advance or retreat. ”
Luo Jia said: "I'm not worried about you, but about Emperor Hao. You are more sensible and calm than I imagined, which makes me feel extremely happy as a mother. Although Luo Heng has given you many problems over the years, it has also given you experience that ordinary children of families can't have. ”
When he left Daze in a negative mood, his son was just a pampered and thin teenager, with a stubborn childishness on his face. In the blink of an eye, he has become a calm and elegant man......
Luo Yao also remembered the past, "When I was young, I was still a little willful after all, and I couldn't be more sensible than Ning Yan." ”
When Luo Jia heard her daughter's name, she was silently sour, "Ning Yan, don't you hate me very much?" After being silent for a while, he sighed quietly: "After all, I am the daughter of the Jiuqiu Luo clan, and the stubbornness in my temperament...... Sometimes, it also annoys me. In the beginning, I hated your father, for his cowardice, for turning his back on me. Later, Ah Jue died, and I took his place and became the king of a country, and I more or less understood your father's difficulty...... It's a pity...... Miserable for my poor sons and daughters......"
Standing in such a position, with the lives of all the people at her feet, she couldn't do it, for the sake of her lover and relatives, she sacrificed thousands of people who relied on her protection. It's just that that deep love, a happy family, was ruined after all......
Luo Yao pondered his mother's tone, and hope rose in his heart. Perhaps, the family reunion he prayed for when he was young was not just wishful thinking?
He smiled at Luo Jia as if he was soothing, "It seems that I am indeed my mother's child, and my temperament is also very stubborn." In the past 300 years, I have deliberately alienated my father, avoided all matters related to the government, and even left the burden of managing the family affairs to Ning Yan. I have always felt guilty about Ning Yan. ”
He complained about his father's cowardice, and he also hated his own persistence. This time, he witnessed his sister fighting in the Ganyuan Conference, doing her best to secretly help her win the championship, and even being humiliated under Chun Yuyan's moves, which made him determined not to let his sister suffer the slightest grievance in this life.
Luo Jian held his son's hand, tears flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "It's not your fault." ”
Luo Yao shook his head slightly, and said, "When I saw Ning Yan at the Ganyuan Conference, I had already made up my mind not to evade the responsibilities entrusted to me by my family name. Although I do not have the ambition to change the world and destroy the decay, I am willing to do my best to keep my family and people away from strife and at peace. ”
Jiuqiu has no intention of starting disputes again, Luo Heng is powerless to stir up trouble again, as long as he controls the relationship with Chaoyan, stays away from strife, and is safe and easy, it is not unattainable!
Seeing that his son was finally going to be involved in the power game of the Dongzhou Continent, Luo Jia felt both melancholy and worried, but also faintly had some expectations and pride as a mother.
After all, he is the son of himself and Bailiyu.
From the moment of birth, it is destined to be impossible to escape the responsibilities that come with the family name.
Luo Jia pulled his son, told him some trivial things, and then got up and said, "Since you have come to Zhangyao, you will stay in the palace for a few more days." I'll ask Luo Heng to teach you a few tricks of cultivation. Like you, he cultivates both the five spirits, and the method is his own, which will definitely be of great benefit to you. He may act insolently, but he has no ill will towards you. ”
As she spoke, she put on her hat again, summoned the maid outside the door, and ordered Luo Yao to prepare a resting room.
At this time, Qing Ling also followed Caiyi back.
"Xiao Qi, when are we going back to Wutong Town?" As soon as Qing Ling stepped into the hall gate, he rushed to Luo Yao with his clothes flying and asked urgently.
Luo Yao got up and looked at Qing Ling, and some thoughts drifted away for a while.
He smiled as gently as he could, "My mother kept us here for a few days. I'll have someone bring a message to Slim and say we'll go back to Sycamore in a few days. ”
Qing Ling subconsciously glanced in Luo Jia's direction, and everything he had just heard in the stone house came to his mind.
The younger brother in front of him, the queen who seemed to be quite kind, was a member of the Jiuqiu Luo clan.
Could they have known Luo Heng's plans for a long time, and even participated in it?
At the end of the day, they're a family after all.
Xiao Qi defended his demon uncle in every possible way, even if he really knew about the conspiracy between him and Lie Yang, it was impossible to stand on the opposite side of him!
Luo Heng, the national teacher of Jiuqiu, is definitely a royal family that undoubtedly hates Chaoyan. And the Lieyang Kingdom has a grudge against Mu Chen!
This matter must be known to Mu Chen as soon as possible!
Qing Ling shook his head, "I can't rest assured that Prince Muchen." I'm going back. The corners of his mouth bent towards Luo Jia, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness." ”
Luo Yao looked at Qing Ling, with a thousand words blocked in his chest, but he couldn't say a word.
To take a step forward is to abandon dignity and put oneself in a humble position, and to take a step back is to let go indefinitely after the end of the world......
Seeing that Luo Yao didn't say anything, Qing Ling couldn't help but become anxious, and no longer care about etiquette, he dragged him to a corner of the hall, and said in a suppressed voice: "We have agreed, if you can see your mother, you will let Prince Muchen go." Now that your wish has been fulfilled, don't you want to regret it? ”
Luo Heng is so terrifying, if Mu Chen really falls into his hands, he doesn't know what kind of suffering he will have to suffer!
Luo Yao let Qing Ling tug on his sleeve and was silent for a long time, "You care about him so much?" Would you rather get yourself into danger? ”
Qing Ling's face was slightly red, let go of his hand, and turned his head halfway, "Whatever you think, I will never ignore him anyway." ”
When she said this, her voice was very soft, with a bit of girlish shyness, but her tone was very resolute.
Luo Yao's heart was empty, cold, and there was a kind of relief that he had guessed the answer early but was paranoid and waited until the moment when it was finally revealed.
He looked at her without saying a word, as if he wanted to engrave every appearance of her in his mind.
The pure smile at first sight, and then all kinds of cunning, pride, concern, worry, feigned anger, and true anger......
In fact, it has long been imprinted on my heart.
Luo Jian walked over slowly and said with a smile: "Ah Yao, since your senior sister is in a hurry to go back, don't force her to stay." Then he turned to Qing Ling, "Later, I will let the palace guards ride your mount to send you." With them to protect us, Ah Yao and I are also more relieved. ”
As he spoke, he commanded to go down.
When Qing Ling heard that there was also a mount escort, he was pleasantly surprised, and thanked Luo Jia repeatedly.
It seems that the demon clan is not as bad as Xiao Qi said, and the guards in the palace can control the mounts! When I came, I had to take such a slow carriage......
Luo Jia ordered to go down, and the palace maid quickly brought in a few guards.
Qing Ling ran briskly to the guards, asking how long it would take to ride to Wutong Town.
Luo Jia used his demon sense to send a message to his son: "Ah Yao, that Qingling girl doesn't seem to have any affection for you. If she's in a hurry to see another man, it's all the more important for you to let it go as soon as possible. ”
Luo Yao smiled apprehensively, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He tried to convince his mother, and he convinced himself, that "Mother is too worried." I have a friendship with Qingling, I just ...... I don't want to see her involved in royal disputes and in danger. With her character, she is really not suitable to stay by Mu Chen's side. ”
Luo Jian shook his head behind the veil, his tone solemn and worried, "She is not suitable to stay by Prince Chaoyan's side, is it suitable to stay by your side?" ”
She was born in a royal family and has been in charge of a country for hundreds of years, and her ability to manipulate people's hearts is no worse than that of her eight-faced son, and her words are even more point-to-point, which is difficult to refute.
"It's normal for men and women to meet and attract each other. But this attraction is fleeting. Only by having a deeper emotional integration, mutual understanding, appreciation, accommodation, and tolerance can this relationship continue. You are a smart and rational child, and you will not fail to understand this truth.
Ah Yao, you have the blood of the Jiuqiu Luo clan in your body, I don't want to see you like me and Luo Heng, pay a painful price because of the wrong feelings, and live an unhappy life for the rest of your life. No matter what kind of woman you like, demon or god, I have no objection. But there is only one condition I must insist on, and that is that she must be single-minded about you. I'd rather you marry a woman you don't like, than see you fall in love with someone who doesn't have you in his heart. ”
She took her son's hand, "You have a special identity, you have a long way to go in the future, and you need to know how to control your emotions." While the love is not deep now, completely cut off this thought, in order to avoid the pain that will fall deeper and deeper in the future! ”
Luo Yao lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the hand holding his mother, and he was silent.
The hands, once slender and white, were now dry and scorched, covered with dark brown spots.
He thought of his uncle in the rage, with golden red demon pupils, a murderous aura that destroyed the heavens and the earth, and a river of white bones and blood behind him.
He remembered that he disregarded the safety of his family and rescued the rebel in full view of everyone, and remembered the moment when he was out of control and hurt others and himself......
Confusion, greed, heartache......
Perhaps, the mother was right.
It's too late to let go now.
At least the pain wasn't too intense, so that it wouldn't make me go crazy and get my hands bloody......
Luo Yao's lips pursed tightly, and after a long time, he replied softly: "Okay." ”
Qing Ling walked over and said goodbye to Luo Ji and Luo Yao.
Luo Yao didn't say a word, but Luo Ji told him a few more words, telling the guards to be careful, not to alarm the Chaoyan garrison on the border, and so on.
Qing Ling saw Luo Yao's uncharacteristically indifferent, and only said that he was angry with himself, so he took out his senior sister's style and said, "You finally saw your mother, you must accompany her well, do more filial piety, and get along with her well." ”
Be a good person and don't follow your uncle to do bad things.
If he is facing you and me, each of them is his master, and he becomes an enemy on the battlefield, I am afraid that my senior sister will no longer be able to care about the feelings of the same family......
She saluted the queen and followed the guards to the door of the palace.
After taking a few steps, he finally gave birth to a little reluctance to part, turned his head, and waved his hand vigorously at Luo Yao, "Xiao Qi, take care!" ”
