Chapter 401: The Feast
Luo Licheng set off for the frontier three days later.
He led the troops to fight on the frontier only to serve as an example, and was recalled by the emperor every few months.
It was even more difficult for Ouyang Qingqing to gather evidence of his rebellion.
Ran Rao was like this, and Ouyang Qingqing had no intention of giving up.
Ouyang Qingqing held his stomach with one hand, and looked at the guards guarding outside Luo Licheng's house lightly, "I left something there last time, I wonder if it can be convenient?" ”
The guards were all Luo Licheng's cronies, and they were loyal to him, and when they heard that the county lord wanted to enter his house without permission, their expressions immediately became a little gloomy.
"The group leader should please go back, it's not appropriate." The guard squinted at Ouyang Qingqing, and there was no respect in his words, "The master will come back in a few days, and it will not be too late for the county lord to go into the house to get it then." ”
"How do you talk?" Yongxue was indignant, and stood up from behind Ouyang Qingqing as soon as she raised her foot, "This is the county lord's mansion, it is the county lord's territory, how can the county lord go, what can I do with you?" ”
Yongxue is Ouyang Qingqing's maid in marriage, she has grown up with her since she was a child, and the relationship between the two is not inferior to that of sisters.
"Yongxue, don't say a few words." Ouyang Qingqing gave her a look, and directly gave in and said, "If it's inconvenient, then bother, let's wait for the horse master to come back before going in." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Qingqing disappeared directly into the courtyard with Yongxue.
Ouyang Qingqing had been there many times in recent days, but whenever she wanted to enter the house, the guards guarding the door would excuse herself with such a reason.
After a long time, Ouyang Qingqing became more and more sure in his heart, Luo Licheng did have something to hide from himself, and this matter was not small.
Time passed in a flash, and Luo Licheng had a small advantage of half a point in this duel, and successfully defeated the barbarians.
A cadre returned to the court, and the emperor held a banquet in the palace to celebrate.
"The horse really didn't disappoint me, it's only been a few months, and the momentum of the original arrogant barbarians has been suppressed." The emperor looked at Luo Licheng with a smile.
After a happy event, he felt refreshed, he had been pressed and beaten for so long, and now he was angry.
Luo Licheng has always maintained just the right amount of modesty: "The emperor praises falsely, if it weren't for the majesty of his country, how could the barbarians retreat with interest?" ”
He didn't blush at all when he spoke, and his eyes seemed to reveal reverence when he looked at the emperor.
Even if the emperor was in a high position, he followed the temper of the elderly, and when he heard that he was praised, he smiled as bright as a chrysanthemum: "If only every general could be like you." ”
Luo Licheng didn't say anything, he turned his head to look at the seat, but he didn't see Xia Zhixue's figure, and he was a little bored unconsciously.
"The colt is looking for Qingqing, right?" The emperor looked at his impatience and would be mistaken, "Qingqing has been in poor health recently, and the palace banquet has been shirked. ”
"Is that so?" Luo Licheng took a sip of wine quietly, and his mind finally returned to Ouyang Qingqing.
Ouyang Qingqing's physical condition has never been clear to him, anyway, what is in his stomach is just an insignificant piece of meat, whether he is dead or alive, what does it have to do with him?
Whether he was born safely or died halfway, he Luo Licheng would not admit that he had such a child.
After the palace banquet, the officials returned to their homes on their own.
Luo Licheng has now become a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and countless officials have come up to slap him, saying General Luo's words one by one, and the tone should be more flattering and flattering.
Luo Licheng was surrounded by several people, he enjoyed the feeling of the stars holding the moon, but he didn't say it directly.
"When you say this, Luo is a little embarrassed." Luo Licheng clasped his hands into fists and bowed slightly to several officials beside him, "Now the border war is still tight, and before everything is settled, Luo will naturally not be able to afford this kind of title." ”
His words were gentle and skillful, and he directly rejected the congratulations of the crowd. Nuwa Library
It doesn't sound arrogant, it's not too modest, and his sleek attitude is vividly shown by him.
"Where's that?" One of them, Lord Liu, laughed, "In this young generation, if General Luo can't afford this title, then I don't think anyone can afford it." ”
As soon as his words came out, several people who were in a hurry also responded.
"Lord Liu's words are true, isn't General Luo the best of the younger generation, if he is called second, then I don't think anyone will dare to call him first."
"General Luo is so young and promising, patience is a blessing for our country."
Luo Licheng listened to their words and secretly laughed in his heart, the wind on his face was calm, but it did not disappear at all: "If you really talk about the best of the younger generation, I think the nineteenth prince is the most well-deserved one." ”
"The Nineteenth Prince, he is not only good at brains, but also good at archery, and last time he was in front of the vassal state, he raised his eyebrows for our country."
He said, smiling but not reaching the bottom of his eyes.
The discerning person seemed to have two words to give him sarcastically.
Hypocrisy.
Luo Licheng is indeed hypocritical, he is an out-and-out hypocrite, and he often likes to pretend to be gentle and jade in front of the world.
However, in front of those who are a little closer, his archetype will be revealed, he will become selfish, and the tenderness in his eyes will become a thick piece of ice.
He was already in his original form to Ouyang Qingqing.
Luo Licheng returned to the Horse Mansion in the midst of the congratulations of the crowd.
The originally modest attitude suddenly became arrogant, and he swaggered past the court, and a group of maids did not dare to go up beside him.
The guard guarding Luo Licheng's house saw that the main owner had come, and immediately ran forward: "Master, you are here." ”
The guard stretched out his hand and handed over a cup of tea: "The county lord has been wanting to enter your room for the past few days, and his subordinates don't know what the problem is. ”
He reported softly.
Luo Licheng's mean eyes narrowed: "Did you let her in?" ”
"Of course not." Seeing Luo Licheng's somewhat angry appearance, the guard hurriedly waved his hand, "How dare we forget what you have explained before you left?" ”
"It's kind of acquaintance." Luo Licheng laughed.
"Ouyang Qingqingming, if she comes to ask you again, let her come to the study to find me by herself, if you don't explain some things to her, you will have to toss her endlessly."
Luo Licheng said as he walked forward.
The guards followed him, nodding earnestly whenever he said a word.
The news of Luo Licheng's return Ouyang Qingqing already knew that since the palace people invited her to the palace banquet, her heart hung in the air.
"County Lord, it's getting late." Yongxue stood behind her and whispered.
"Wash up." Ouyang Qingqing withdrew his gaze from the window.
Now we are in a critical period, and we can only take one step at a time.
Her life is not the most important thing, the key is the child.
Ouyang Qingqing lowered her head and touched her stomach, she could feel a life scurrying in it.
