Chapter 117: Flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix

On the same day, Luo Xuan, Zhao Chengyin and Qin Huan rode a high-headed horse to the inn where Guo Xiaoxiao was. Even if the saint was exempted from the canonization ceremony, Luo Xuan still had to try his best to give Guo Xiaoxiao a decent appearance.

Guo Xiaoxiao was talking to Mrs. Guo when Luo Xuan and a few people suddenly walked in.

"Don't you knock?" Guo Xiaoxiao said angrily, "Be careful to surprise my mother." ”

Mrs. Guo smiled: "Xuan'er is here, have you eaten?" I'll go and get you food. ”

"Auntie doesn't have to be busy." Luo Xuan looked at Guo Xiaoxiao, "We came here to report the good news." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao stood up and said with a very appreciative gaze: "Isn't the biggest joy that you have become the general of the country?" What, could it be that His Majesty has taken a fancy to you and wants you to be his son-in-law? ”

"Your Majesty is not looking at me, but you." Luo Xuan didn't know when Guo Xiaoxiao became so naughty, and his speech would be sour.

Guo Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "Are you kidding me?" ”

"Your Majesty has made you the lord of the county." Luo Xuan walked over and sat down on a stool.

"County Lord?" Guo Xiaoxiaohu asked, "Why do you want to make me the county lord?" ”

"Because you are the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo." Luo Xuan took the hot tea offered by Nan Yue.

Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled, and he looked at Mrs. Guo again. Mrs. Guo said: "My nephew can't be a child's play, what's going on?" ”

Luo Xuan took a sip of tea and said, "A while ago, I made a war exploit, so I asked Your Majesty to make Sister Yan the lord of the county in the letter submitted to Your Majesty. His Majesty was sympathetic to his great-grandfather, so he agreed. ”

"My mother and I are doing well now, why do you want to ask Your Majesty?" Guo Xiaoxiao said.

Luo Xuan shook the teacup on the table, got up and said, "Sister Yan mean, I did this too much?" ”

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight." Guo Xiaoxiao was worried about the future situation, "The palace is sinister, didn't you push me and my mother to the guillotine?" ”

"How can Sister Chang be so selfish!" Luo Xuan scolded, "Sister Yan is the bloodline of Zhenguo Gong, why do you only have the Guo family in your heart?" Not to mention that my sister and I are sisters and brothers, just because I sacrificed my life in Yangzhou City to save my sister, my sister shouldn't be so selfish! ”

"If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't be like this." Guo Xiaoxiao endured his anger.

"Your family!" Luo Xuan looked at her coldly, "It turns out that in the past few months, Sister Chang still hasn't treated me as a younger brother." I was so blind to save someone like you. ”

Zhao Chengyin poked Luo Xuan with his elbow: "Don't say it so ugly." ”

"People cross the river and tear down the bridge, desperately trying to dissociate themselves from us, why should I care about other people's face!" Luo Xuan put his hands behind his back.

"You!" Guo Xiaoxiao turned his head to look to the side, "I don't disdain to recognize you as a younger brother." ”

"Xiaoxiao!" Mrs. Guo got up and grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, "The more I talk, the more confused I become." ”

"Hmph, since people don't rarity with my younger brother, then I won't put a hot face on someone's cold ass." Luo Xuanheng frowned coldly, and he was about to go out with his feet raised.

"Ah Xuan." Zhao Chengyin grabbed Luo Xuan and whispered in his ear, "She speaks emotionally without thinking, how can you follow your will!" ”

Mrs. Guo also stepped forward to grab Luo Xuan's arm, and said in a comforting and self-reproachful tone: "Xiao Xiao, this child is spoiled by me and your uncle, don't take what she says to heart." If you really want to be annoyed and blamed, then count it on me. ”

Mrs. Guo groveled, almost kneeling, Luo Xuan immediately supported Mrs. Guo.

"Auntie, don't be like this, you really hurt your nephew."

"Xiao Xiao is willful and reckless, and he doesn't understand the overall situation, so please bear with me." Mrs. Guo refused to get up.

"You ......" Luo Xuan was very embarrassed, "Sister Yan and I are the same blood of the Luo family, how can I really break off the relationship with Sister Yan?" What he just said was nothing more than angry words. ”

"Did my nephew really forgive Xiao Xiao?"

Luo Xuan glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao and said: "Blood is thicker than water, and family affection is difficult to break." ”

Mrs. Guo got up at this time, took Guo Xiaoxiao's hand and walked to Luo Xuan, and said, "Apologize to your brother." ”

"I ......" Guo Xiaoxiao was a little reluctant.

It's not that she hasn't enjoyed the glory and wealth, why does she want to make a look like a dragon and a phoenix? Besides, she Guo Xiaoxiao is not a person who loves fame, why did she want to follow the Luo family to hang the name of a county lord?

"Hurry up." Mrs. Guo ordered, "Xiao Xiao is no longer a seven-year-old child, how can he be rash!" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao pursed his lips and said to Luo Xuan's eyes: "It's that I can't help Brother Xuan, and I hope that Brother Xuan won't take the angry words I just said to heart." ”

"A thousand words, I only have one sentence I want to say to my sister." Luo Xuan was very serious, "I am of the same blood as my sister of the Luo family, and I am shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Luo family, please don't try to break off the relationship with the Luo family." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly dimmed, looking at the scar on the face of the man in front of him. It was Luo Xuan's injury in the northwest, and the scar was good but difficult to get rid of. A dignified-looking eight-foot man has now been broken. Luo Xuan is struggling step by step. But what about her?

She couldn't help but question herself, when the Japanese invaded Jiangnan, not only did she fail to keep the inheritance left by her grandfather and father, but all her property was stolen by others. She fled with a group of people, but she couldn't protect Steward Zhang and Datang, and even Anan died. What kind of face and qualifications does Guo Xiaoxiao have to scold Luo Xuan?

If it weren't for Luo Xuan, she would have been in a different place by now, maybe the meat on her body had been eaten by wolves, and she gnawed so much that there were no bones left.

"Brother Xuan." Guo Xiaoxiao called out softly.

"Don't say it, if you really have the heart, go pack your things now and go back to the General's Mansion with me." Luo Xuan's face was calm.

Guo Xiaoxiao immediately took Nan Yue and Xiaozhu to pack their luggage, and followed Luo Xuan out of the inn. I saw a golden foot truck parked outside, eight guards around the foot guard, and dozens of soldiers on horseback and hundreds of guards on foot behind the foot bowl. This was all transferred by Qin Huan.

Luo Xuan straightened his waist and said, "Don't hurry up and meet the county lord of Baoyi." ”

Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison: "Meet the Lord of Baoyi!" ”

Luo Xuan stretched out a hand to Guo Xiaoxiao and said softly: "Please get on the sedan chair for the county lord." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao hesitated for a while, put his hand on Luo Xuan's hand, and walked over step by step.

"Step by step, step by step, step by step, step by step." Luo Xuan whispered in her ear as she walked, and suddenly clenched Guo Xiaoxiao's fingers.

Guo Xiaoxiao bowed his head slightly, and he said again: "Even if you are walking on thin ice ahead, as long as you have me for a day, I will not let you put yourself in danger." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back. How many times have you ever heard such firm and powerful words? That should have happened a long time ago, it seems that when Master Guo was still alive. Her beloved father was her and her mother's backer.

She lifted her dress and stepped forward, letting go of Luo Xuan's hand. I saw Luo turn around and walk to the front of the team, turn over the horse with an arrow step, and order: "Go!" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao immediately felt his body leave the ground, and it turned out that the eight soldiers were carrying their steps to keep up with Luo Xuan's pace. This posture attracted many people around the inn for a while.

Luo Xuan said to Qin Huan: "It's too deserted, some drummers should be arranged." ”

Qin Huan patted the bag hanging by the horse, and said with a smile: "I prepared firecrackers, I don't know if it will work." ”

"Good boy!"

A crackling sound resounded through the sky, and Guo Xiaoxiao hurriedly covered his ears with his hands. The soldiers on horseback hung firecrackers with bamboo poles, which instantly attracted the attention of pedestrians on the street, and more and more people gathered around the procession to watch.

There were pedestrians in front of them, and four guards walked to the front of the line with spears to clear the way. Guo Xiaoxiao heard a lot of discussion on the street.

"What are you doing here?"

"Don't you know? His Majesty has newly canonized a county lord, who is said to be the widow of the Duke of Zhenguo. ”

"Who is that beautiful man sitting on a tall horse?"

"That's also the legacy of Zhenguo Gong, I heard that he won the battle a while ago and was promoted to the general of the country."

"You're not joking, Zhenguo Gong has long been dead, the heirs under his knees are dead, the exiled are exiled, where are the relics to this day!"

"If you don't believe it, you can come forward and ask in person, and the general protector is right in front of you."

"I'm not going, I'm just here to see the fun."

"Also, just ordinary people like us, we can only watch the excitement."

"If you can get some relatives with the Luo family, you can also use this to soar."

"Don't think about it, Your Majesty has the heart to promise this Baoyi County Lord to King Zhongming, and then it will be a turn to get people like us."

……

Guo Xiaoxiao sat on top of the high step, and heard the pedestrians gossiping, and he didn't know whether it was true or not. Luo Xuan walked ahead with the reins in his hand, his majestic appearance was a bit like a cheetah, and his eyes were full of arrogance.

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at his broad back, thinking in his heart, he was obviously a younger brother, but he felt like a brother to her. Maybe she was too rude and selfish to make him live more and more like his brother.

Enough of the limelight and too much of it, Luo Xuan jumped off the horse and personally welcomed Guo Xiaoxiao down. As soon as he crossed the threshold of the General's Mansion, a group of slaves knelt down in front of Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes.

"Welcome back to the county lord of Baoyi!"

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at Luo Xuan beside him and said softly: "Actually, you don't have to make such a big show. ”

Luo Xuan posted it in Guo Xiaoxiao's ear and said: "The new officials have taken office three times, if you don't give them power, how will you suppress them in the future?" ”

"It's better to convince people with virtue."

"I don't care." Luo Xuan insisted on his opinion, "Anyway, my way is so simple and rude. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao smacked his lips and smiled at the maids and the servants: "Everyone get up." ”

"Lord Xie!"

"Where's my mother?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked Luo Xuan.

"Later, I've already called Deputy Envoy Zhang to pick them up."

"That'll be fine."

"Don't worry, you just have to hold the county lord's shelf." Luo Xuan instructed, "These slaves are all sent by the palace, and they are very arrogant. But if you do not bring the lord's money, beware of them riding on your head. ”

"Oh." Hearing Luo Xuan say this, Guo Xiaoxiao was really worried.
