Among the Roche suburban annexes,

The woman who was spread on the soft collapse listened to the return of the personal maid with her eyes closed, and under her tired and calm face, there were earth-shaking intense thoughts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The personal maid has brought back the other party's message, and the token has been related.

This is really providential, a fake illness that was pretended to be made true, because she was pregnant again. The feeling of being a mother and having a child seems to be a long way ago; At that time, she was still in the poor alleys, in the eyes of all kinds of people in the market, struggling and suffering, and insisted on giving birth to the child, and the day when she re-recognized her with hard work.

And now she is no longer the delicate woman of the year of flowery letters, although she uses the best pearl white and fritillary to keep her white and clean, it is still difficult to hide the subtle wrinkles between the corners of her eyes.

The lord of the Luo domain, who was self-consciously old and strong, and Aunt Ersa, who held the power of the family's finances, had already come to visit her, and each had something to say;

The side benefit of being pregnant as a stepwife, that is, the resources that she can use and operate, have suddenly become relaxed and abundant again.

But she also fell into the torment of hesitation and contradictory struggle.

Before that, she was once a crazy mother who would do whatever it took to pay for her son, but after finding out that she was pregnant, this paranoid and indomitable state of mind was shattered by the newly discovered little life.

And between the safety of the existing son and the gain and loss of the unborn child, he has become particularly indecisive.

At least the child in her womb has nothing to blame and dispute, once the eldest prince has a greater future, the huge foundation of the Luo clan still needs a young son to support and inherit.

And if it is a daughter, you can also learn from Ersha's shameless one, send the eldest son to a field where fat water does not flow to outsiders, and give birth to a son and a half daughter can also inherit or share a foreign family business.

But the thought that her youngest son might still be suffering in some place where the light of day did not see the light of day made her heart feel entangled again.

。。。。。。。。。

The small port of Roche at night, no, it should be in the big port of Roche now;

Cambrona, alias Conrolle, was also looking at the brightly lit harbor area and a band of light that stretched straight into the city of Roth.

However, it is also quite luxurious to put it in the ordinary sea domain, and the road lighting along the way, I am afraid that the oil burned every night is not more than 100 catties; Not to mention that this is a new port area that has changed dramatically since the last time he was here.

According to the news and rumors he had, it seems that because of the advantages of the Luo family's proximity to the water, and the final point of the trade branch line that surrounds most of Borneo, the Luo private port has developed very rapidly in recent years, and the area of the port area and the long-term resident population have increased several times.

Moreover, the inland territory has become a gathering place for all kinds of people from East and West Borneo, and even the original territory of the Luo domain has expanded a lot; On the one hand, it is of course the contribution of the surrounding countrymen and scholars who have gone bankrupt one after another under the heavy levy of the dynasty; on the other hand, thanks to the support and feedback from the Cantonese side in terms of military and financial resources, the Luo Fan's pioneering career to the inland mountains and wilderness has been greatly improved;

In the rainforest-dense and barren interior, the land was leveled for water conservancy to open up large fields and more than a dozen village settlements, and thousands of new slaves were added to the labor force.

As a result, Cambrona, who had returned to the old place, was almost unrecognizable, and his current identity was a son of the Kang clan in Chola Chau (present-day Tamil Nadu, southwestern India).

Of course, Kang Luoli, the son of the Kang family, who was replaced by him as the main owner of the sea, had already been sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish and turtles, but under the operation of the forces behind him, he covered up this matter and was able to continue to use this identity to act.

The ancestor of this Kang clan is a descendant of the Kang Kingdom with the surname Zhaowu Jiu in the Western Regions, also known as the Sogdians or the Chestnut Species, and there have been people who have been merchants and officials in China for a long time, and have participated in the historical time of introducing Buddhism and Zoroastrianism to the Eastern Land;

However, since the Qianyuan period, Liang Gong led countless Tang Dynasty athletes to reopen the Western Regions and invade Persia and Dashi, and launched the Great Western Expedition that swept thousands of miles, Kangguo, one of the many countries in the river that could not stop the rolling historical trend, also became the obedient Kangjun and Kangju Prefecture under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, the subjects of Kangguo also changed one after another, and became the naturalized people of the Tang Dynasty in accordance with the mandate of heaven, and played all kinds of roles and roles in the subsequent westward march of the king's army and the wave of immigrants, and also obtained corresponding fame and fortune and various rights and interests;

One of the clansmen of the Kang royal family was rewarded for his merits, and he was also able to go south to become a peripheral retainer of the Liang family's Nanhai lineage, and then in the great development of sea and land, he was divided into the hometown of the ancient Zhulin Kingdom, and became one of the original three hundred princes of the Ping Domain.

However, as far as Cambrona's own life is concerned, there is nothing to be commended about; He was originally a product of a failed rebirth, and he was born with some congenital deficiencies and grew extremely thin; And half-breed orphans like him, whose parents are unknown, are almost everywhere in the coastal ports.

Most of them are the descendants of those sailors, boatmen and the like who pass by the boat, and the local women who have lost their footing or special practitioners, and they are also the most basic peripherals and sources of the famous Fan Gang and various beggars and pickpockets.

However, although Connorrob is a mixed-race Fanhu origin, he fortunately inherited the characteristics of black hair and black eyes from his father's line, because as long as he does not look at his face with some prominent contours of his mother, he is basically the same as most native Tang children.

This also became the turning point for him to change his fate, although it was not so pleasant in the process, and there were some unbearable stories and pasts; He was taken away from a private prostitution parlor at a very young age because of his handsome appearance, and then became the follower of a pot-bellied Tianzhu wealthy businessman, just because his appearance was similar to that of the Tang people, and he could be used as a face and pomp, and even to satisfy the existence of private ulterior motives.

Then he finally survived, and slowly got rid of and understood the past with his own hands, and eventually became a shipowner and one of the private businessmen who walked on the edge of gray.

But in private, he prefers to call himself Li Wei, because this Chinese name is the last bit of sustenance and expectation that can be left on him for that poor and humble mother, for that passer-by man;

Better luck than him was the childhood Chu Bai, who was not originally called by this name, but because he was favored by the close tribes of the Chu clan, he was brought back as a child. Therefore, when they met and recognized each other again, he was already the head of the property of the daughter of the Chu family who married Luo Fan.

Then there was more than ten years of dating, they invited their arms to swim and drink, and they also slept in brothels; In the end, Chu Bai even became the guarantor who introduced him to Luo Fan; But when the time came, driven by enough interests, he did not hesitate to assassinate this former friend who gave great trust.

It's just that obviously his luck is very bad and bumpy, even if he has done many things, he still has not been able to change the re-emergence of the great prince of the Luo Domain, as well as the overall rout and loss of power of the instigator behind him;

Then he became a lost dog in the real sense, and under the joint wanted and heavy reward of several princes and vassals, his upper and lower lines were uprooted by the swarming righteous servants and outlaws, and he could only run away from the Western Regions desperately to survive the last breath.

And the people who sheltered and sheltered him just thought that this idle chess might be of some use in the future.

Therefore, this time, he was reactivated from the marginalization of idleness and coldness, and the task was to make the Luo Clan, which was faintly cited as the weather vane of the princes in West Borneo, completely chaotic, no matter what means were used and what the price was; Therefore, in order to cooperate with his actions and plans, he specially provided special tokens and evidence.

Since he can personally assassinate his playmate and close friend Chu Bai, who he has known since childhood, for the sake of profit, he can naturally make a false deal with a woman who has had a one-night relationship, just to probe and spy on the internal situation of the Luo Domain.

As for the whereabouts of that Luo Nianzu Xiao Luo Gongzi, it is really not something he can decide and aside; It's just a gimmick used to hang the other party in order to constantly provide information and potential help,

For this mission, hundreds of people had been lurking in several batches under various identities and covers; They are all outlaws who are skilled in fighting and fighting at sea, or brave people from the former army;

This time, Cambrona also brought a large number of strong bows and crossbows, leather armor for water warfare, as well as arson's fierce fire oil and hand-thrown fire pots, which were enough to arm these men to the teeth, and easily defeat the scattered guards of less than 1,000 men in the harbor.

But his goal is not limited to this, Luo Gang is only the beginning and bait, luring the city's guards out, and then taking advantage of the chaos to sneak into the chain of steps to attack and assassinate important targets.

At this time, a little light flickered in the darkness of the port area, indicating that the woman had come again, and had brought some kind of reply.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

Under the gloomy sky, the continuous beacon fire on the northwest land did not subside because of the cold weather.

With the new round of integration and reshuffle, the originally fragmented local forces are also slowly integrating and following under one banner in intermittent conflicts and fights.

Zhao Xi, whose body was covered with snowflakes, was also looking at the city full of firelight and noise, until a smoky and tattered vermilion flag fell from the city and was presented to him non-stop.

Flags covered in mud and snowflakes were soon hoisted on a long banner that was also covered with broken flags of various colors. At this moment, another messenger on a flying horse reported loudly.

"Report ... On the military. The remnants of the Silent Frontier Army have surrendered. ”

"It's worthy of the Northern Liang Iron Ride."

Zhao Xi couldn't help sighing.

"It's a big snow camp with a sword in the snow."

This also means that another old military town with a long history dating back to the Liang Gong era has surrendered to this emerging force. (To be continued.) )
