Chapter 365: Uncle

If he didn't go to the barracks, Luo Yao would stay in the stilt building all day long, and he would hardly be seen walking around except for the occasional walk around the backyard. It was as if there was some treasure in the building that attracted him, and it had not made him lose interest after all these years.

In fact, this is just his temperament, if it weren't for those who knew him well, no one would have thought that the general Luo Yao would be like a scholar when he was quiet, and he often sank in a book for a long time without moving. Luo Yao also likes to go to the barracks to feel the excitement, and he is also extremely heroic when he drinks with his generals. So even those who know him well can hardly tell whether the general prefers quiet or lively.

The Chu family rarely goes to the stilt building, and she and Luo Yao live in the same courtyard but seem to live in different worlds. The two are husband and wife, but they rarely intersect.

After returning from the barracks, Luo Yao saw his wife Chu standing outside the stilted building from a long distance. She looked at Xiaohu in a daze, as if he was so familiar when he first saw her many years ago. The first time he saw her, she was also standing by a small lake, watching her reflection on the water. At that glance, Luo Yao knew that this woman would become his wife.

She came from a small family with an average family background. So the marriage was quickly decided, after all, Luo Yao was already an upstart in the army at that time. Although the position is not high, holding the imperial court's fortune is enough to make ordinary people satisfied.

After marrying Luo Yao, she did everything that a wife should do, except that she doted on her son Luo Wu too much.

Because of this, Luo Yao's killing became a wound between them that would never heal.

"Why are you here?"

Luo Yao walked up to Chu's side and asked softly.

He has always felt guilty about his wife. So over the years, no matter what kind of transformation his wife has made or what she has done, he has never asked, or even intervened. He knew that the Chu clan hated him, so he rarely went to that small courtyard. He knew that the Chu clan had done something excessive over the years, but he pretended not to know.

"Tell you about the things related to Zixu."

Chu replied expressionlessly, his eyes still staring at the water.

"Let's go inside."

Luo Yaodao.

"No"

Chu shook his head: "Is Zixu your son?" ”

"How do you ask this?"

"He had contact with someone from the Buddhist sect a while ago, have you asked anything more besides beating him? For so many years, he was like something you picked up from somewhere else, and left it in the house and ignored it. ”

"You know...... Back then, it was because he doted on the virtuous chief too much......"

"I don't want to hear that."

Chu Shi turned his head and glanced at Luo Yao, with a coldness in his eyes: "I just came to tell you that if something happens to Zixu because of your negligence, I won't forgive you again." ”

"I ...... Let's go back and see him, and go into the house, okay? ”

Chu ignored the hint of pleading in Luo Yao's tone, and said in a calm and cold tone: "Besides, Lord Qincha hasn't been to the mansion for a while, I want to see him." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it when I get back."

Chu nodded, turned around and left.

Luo Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at her back, the sadness in his eyes was so strong. At the beginning, he and her were so in love with each other, and every time they separated, it seemed to be a torment. Every time he went on an expedition, she counted the days. Every time he came back, she pestered him like a child. But since he killed their first child in Chang'an City that year, she hasn't smiled anymore. Since then, she has closed herself off, and he has not been able to enter her heart for more than twenty years.

But Luo Yao loved her so much, because of Luo Wu's big mistake, Luo Yao killed the whole family of thirty-two in one go, including his father, his own brother and the daughter born to two concubines, but he didn't kill her. Before he entered Beijing to plead guilty, he knelt in front of her and cried bitterly. And she sat stupidly in her chair, with no life in her eyes.

Thinking of those pasts, Luo Yao's heart began to hurt.

He killed the whole family to forgive Luo Yao's sins, didn't he just want to keep her?

Back in the study, Luo Yao leaned back in his chair and was silent for a while. I don't know how long it took before he let out a long sigh of relief and instructed outside: "Go and call Uncle Zhong, and say that I have something to ask him." ”

The armor soldier outside answered and walked away quickly.

In the three-story stilted building opposite the small lake, in the study room with the same layout as Luo Yao's study, Luo Wen sat on a chair and stared blankly at the red pill on the table in front of him. It was given to him by Shi Yuan, and he threw the pill into the fire in front of Zhong Bo, but he had secretly taken out the pill before.

eat

Still not eating?

He had been sitting dry all morning, and he was distracted by this pill like this.

"There is a wolf-faced spirit ape...... Not enough! ”

He muttered, and then a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"I have to rely on myself, I am not just Luo Yao's son, I am Luo Wen, the only Luo Wen in heaven and on earth!"

He grabbed the pill and stuffed it into his mouth, tilted his neck and swallowed it.

A moment later

There was a flash of red in his eyes!

……

……

The next day was the day of the competition with Ye Jinnan, and Fang Xie was still very leisurely. He returned to his lodgings early from the camp as if he had forgotten the next day's competition. Since the day before yesterday, when he came back from going out to train with all the men and horses of the Shanzi Battalion, he never led the troops for training again.

The soldiers of the Shanzi battalion were nervous, but he was as relaxed as everyone else.

It's just that this relaxation is done for others to see.

Fang Xie knew that the more nervous he was, the more nervous the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion were also nervous. And if he behaves calmly, the soldiers will feel that he has a chance to win. Of course, he wasn't much sure about tomorrow's competition. After returning to the residence, he had lunch with Mu Xiaoxiao, Shen Tianfan and others, and then spent the whole afternoon shopping.

deliberately changed his clothes and walked on the street with two beautiful women, the combination of handsome men and beautiful women will always attract jealousy. When women saw Shen Tianfan and Mu Xiaowaist, they would pout their lips to express their disdain, but in fact, what they thought in their hearts was why they were not so beautiful. The men looked at the two of them with greed in their eyes, and Fang Xie with hatred in their eyes.

Fang Xie didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, but when he saw a cardamom girl or a young woman winking and smiling at him, he would also make those women shyness with a very bright smile. Nine times out of ten, men wander the streets to see women, and it's hot enough that there's always something to be gained when walking on the streets. And women don't just go shopping to buy something, who can deny that they don't go out to see handsome men.

It seems that he is walking aimlessly on the street, laughing with Shen Tianfan Mu from time to time. After turning around many shops, I finally walked into the door of Jubao Zhai.

When the shopkeeper of Jubao Zhai saw Fang Jie, he hurriedly greeted him and beckoned him to sit down in the room dedicated to receiving VIPs.

"Is the thing ready?"

Fang asked.

The shopkeeper nodded: "I made it a few days ago, I thought I would send it to you, and I knew that you had been busy in the camp recently, so I didn't dare to disturb." Now the people in the city know that you and General Ye will have a competition tomorrow. I don't know how many casinos have placed bets and how many people have pressed the money. ”

"Oh?"

Fang Xie couldn't help laughing: "Do you win more than I win or do you win more than General Ye?" ”

"There are more pressure on General Ye, after all, General Ye is one of the ten heroes of Luomen, and the people of Yongzhou know General Ye's name, but there are a lot of pressure on you."

"What's the odds?"

"One to four"

Fang Xie smiled and beckoned Chen Xiaoru, who was guarding the door, over. Then he escaped from his arms and handed him a stack of silver tickets and said: "This is three thousand taels of silver, find a few casinos to bet separately, buy me to win." ”

"Huh?"

Chen Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and looked at Fang Xie incredulously.

"Go ahead, if you win, it's the boss's sum of money, and the day after tomorrow I will increase the money for you."

"Uh...... What if I lose? You won't deduct our money, will you? ”

Chen Xiaoru couldn't help but ask.

Fang Xie glanced at him: "If you lose, you will be deducted for your own thirty years." ”

Chen Xiaoru smiled wryly and went out with the silver ticket.

The shopkeeper took advantage of this moment to go inside and take out the finished things. The thing was in a very delicate sandalwood box with a lock on the outside. After opening it, the shopkeeper carefully took out the thing and handed it to Fang Xie and asked, "Look, it's quite similar to the picture you drew, right?" ”

Fang Xie took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise: "Perfect." ”

This is a pair of glasses made of crystal polishing, the frame is made of the best and hardest wood, the weight is not heavy, and there is a layer of gold wire wrapped around the outside, which looks quite dazzling. It took a full month to make these glasses, so you can imagine how delicate the workmanship is.

"You gave you enough crystals, so I made two."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's the first time I've seen this thing, so I brought it and tried it...... My heart has been moving for several days, and I can't afford it if I don't kill it, so I really want to keep one for myself. ”

His eyesight is not very good, no wonder he is so envious.

Fang Xie smiled and said: "There are still two crystals in my hand, I'll have someone send them to you when I go back, and you can find a craftsman to make it yourself." However, this thing needs to know how bad your eyes are, so you have to keep trying it when polishing. It's thousands of miles away from the capital, and the person I plan to give it to is estimated that it won't be too suitable to wear. I don't know if it works, if it's useless, I wasted a few crystals. ”

"It works."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "I took it and tried it, and I saw things a lot more clearly." ”

Fang Xie laughed, put the glasses and handed them to the shopkeeper: "Find a safe guy and send it to the imperial capital, one to the Huangmen Squire Pei's mansion, and the other to Sanjin Hou, let him dedicate it to His Majesty." ”

"I'll pick the right guy when I get back."

"Hmm"

Fang Xie snorted, "Besides, I have something to tell you. Your eldest lady has come to Yongzhou, you should know what the reaction will be to Sanjin Hou. So you think of a way to send her back to the imperial capital. If this thing is not done well, it is estimated that you will be able to do it. ”

"This ......"

The shopkeeper smiled wryly: "Actually, I know ......"

He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Fang Jie: "Master Hou's handwritten letter, which was delivered by the flying pigeon last night. ”

Fang Xie was stunned, took the letter and unfolded it, looked at it, and then was stunned: "Wu Yiyi...... Your uncle's! ”

The shopkeeper smiled, stood up and saluted: "Hou Ye said...... Let's treat you as an aunt in the future......"
