18 Persuasion
Luo Xiao has watched Luo Chaolu grow up since he was a child.
She is not only the pearl of his father's palm, but also the most precious dew drop in his heart.
What he can't worry about the most is that there have always been too many ill-intentioned men who covet his dewdrops.
The monarch of the small country who said that he would rather lose half of the country and want to see her dance, Luo Xiao not only found an excuse to send troops to break through the country, but also killed the monarch on the spot, gouged out his eyes, cut off his tongue, and exposed his body for ten days to show public shock.
It means that in the next life, don't want to see it, don't talk nonsense.
Later, there was a glamorous painting of her dancing that was widely circulated in various states in the Western Regions, comparable to money and silk, and it was hard to find. He spent a lot of money to travel to various countries to recover a lot, and later even used his own troops to loot the portraits, shooting the painters and buyers in public.
But the painting was repeatedly bannedβthose people risked having their eyes gouged out and their bodies exposed, but they also wanted to see the painting.
Now, after months of wandering, his dew is becoming more and more slim. He was almost unrecognizable. Only when she fell into his arms and coquettishly like in the old days did she feel a little more real.
Seeing that she did not hesitate to take off her clothes in front of outsiders in order to protect herself, Luo Xiao had mixed feelings in her heart, and remembered the gossip that arranged her and the Buddha, and a nameless fire rose straight to the top of her head, and her murderous intent rose for a while.
Chao Lu hurriedly stood in front of Luo Xiao and stopped him:
"Third brother, you misunderstood. You're not there, he's always protecting me. "This is indeed the truth.
"Really?" Luo Xiao will be skeptical.
Her third brother is coarse and detailed, and she can't hide it from him. Chaolu hesitated for a moment, and told Luo Xiao that Luo Sumi used her hue to make the Buddha break the vows and lose power.
There was a dead silence.
When Luo Xiao heard this, his face was extremely terrifying, as if he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth:
"I will break him to pieces, and I will cut him into pieces, and I will cut him into pieces. Skinning him and making you drums; Pump his tendons and make you a whip. β
"Luo Sumi is still staring at the third brother," Chao Lu hurriedly pulled him up and said, "This place is dangerous, I will ask Zou Yun to take you out of the palace first......"
"What? You're not going with me? Luo Xiao's brows furrowed again.
"The Buddha is in trouble today, I can't help it." Towards the dew and spitting.
Luo Xiao's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but take her forward.
"What's so hard about him? What's your business? Come out of the palace with me......"
"Third brother! He went to the banquet today to attack the east and west, contain Luo Sumi, and let us escape smoothly. Chao Lu raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "It was he who tried his best to reunite our brothers and sisters, how could he not know Entu?" β
Luo Xiao was speechless for a while, and his heart became more and more unstable.
The people of the Western Regions are open, and there are not as many rules as the Han land. He has been in the army all the year round, he is in Ding Zhuanghei, and he has seen a lot of things in the wind and moon, and he knows that once a man covets beauty, he can use those dirty methods, small favors, and fishing bait.
For a long time, although there were many men around Dewdrop, she had never seen her look at anyone more.
What kind of magical powers does the Buddha have, and how can she have such blue eyes? Is it worth it that she would rather not go out of the palace with him, but also protect each other like this?
Dewdrop was still young, and must have been bewitched by that man.
After Luo Xiao decided this, his face gradually sank, and he said in a low voice:
"Dewdrop, you're still young, don't be coaxed by men."
Chaolu smiled. She has always been the only one who coaxes men, and there is no other way around. She said:
"Third brother, the Buddha is famous in the Western Regions, and the monks under the seat are like thousands of troops, which can be used by us."
"My father died for no reason, Luo Sumi robbed you of the throne, and we have a chance to win by wooing the Buddha."
Luo Xiao's thick eyebrows tightened. He didn't expect her to be so deep at such a young age.
He never told her that he had fled to Northern Hungary in order to make a comeback.
The road to revenge is very dangerous, he doesn't want her to be implicated, he just wants to find a good family for her to marry according to his father's wishes.
Unexpectedly, she was already in the game, planning for him.
Luo Xiao intersected with a hundred thoughts, and said with a brush:
"It's a long-term matter, and it's not worth the risk. It's a man's business, and you don't want to get involved anymore. β
Chao Lu covered his hands behind his back, shook his head and said:
"What if I say I have a plan?" With that, she scooped up Luo Xiao's arm that had fallen to her side with both hands, and shoved a gem into his hand.
Luo Xiao slowly lowered his head. The deep eyes are like an endless night.
But when his eyes touched the thing in his palm, a trace of fireworks was ignited in an instant.
β¦β¦
Luo Xiao always remembered the day of his youngest sister's seventh birthday.
In the palace of the king, the Baolian candlestick is lit with hundreds of precious shark oil incense candles, reflecting the gilt paintings on the two walls, and the bronze horse incense tripod in front of the seat.
The always majestic father sat on the golden throne in the center, and held his beloved little daughter on his lap. It was a treatment that no prince had ever received.
Luo Xiao and his eldest brother stood at the foot of the steps, and since they were young, they had never even touched the golden base of the throne inlaid with brilliant gems.
He stared intently at his sister on the throne, and saw that she was riveting, and with a grasp of the white and greasy little fat hand, he forcibly pulled off a piece of red pigeon's bloodstone from the armrest of the throne.
When my father saw this, he was not annoyed, but laughed loudly, waved his hand, and said proudly to the ministers under the seat:
"My son is destined for my throne, and has the appearance of a king."
After the feast, he was forced by his eldest brother to pour some strong wine, his head was dizzy, and he soon left the banquet under the pretext of excuse.
He was sobering up alone, strolling along the winding corridor of a wisteria tree, smelling only the fragrance of flowers, and at the end he heard a sweet laugh.
Luo Xiao turned around and saw the little girl coming out of nowhere. She was not very old, she was already a beautiful embryo, and when she looked at him, a pair of picturesque eyebrows and eyes bent into a crescent moon.
She called him "third brother" in a milky voice, and then carried the golden fairy skirt, ran over with a "kick" and stuffed something into his hand:
"Third brother, give it to you."
He spread his palms and saw the gem she had stolen from the throne.
The red of pigeon's blood was reflected in his dark eyes, and it was also deeply seared into his heart.
The breeze was gentle, and most of his alcohol had dissipated. He squatted down, raised his hand to caress the little girl's thick satin hair, and said softly:
"Dewdrop, this third brother can't accept it."
Even if he refused, a voice in his heart shouted:
Wait for him, Dewdrop, and when he grows up, and when he grows stronger, one day he too will, like his father, let his favorite sister delight in the jewel on the throne.
At that time, the little girl was very puzzled, thinking that he did not like it, so she silently took away the jewel, stomped her little foot and said:
"Then I will definitely give the third brother more beautiful in the future."
"Don't give it to anyone." He heard that his tone was a little tough, "One day, the third brother will come and ask you again." β
Today, the young girl has grown into a graceful girl, and she has placed the jewel in his palm.
Just like that night ten years ago.
Only this time, she was for another person:
"As long as I save the Buddha today, what the third brother wants, I will give it with both hands in the future."
Luo Xiao looked away from the gem, his dark eyes were bottomless, and the girl's figure was reflected alone:
"You know what I want?"
The girl seemed to understand, and her soft hands pressed his five fingers to collect the gem in his palm:
"What the third brother asks for is also what my heart wants."
Luo Xiao narrowed his narrow eyes.
The light refracted by the gem overflowed his slender fingers, flickering between them.
"I didn't know that Dew Drop was so bold." He raised his hand and slowly pulled the sideburns on her cheeks behind her ears, with a playful expression, "Whatever the third brother wants, he will fight for it himself, and there is no need for my sister to do it for me." β
Towards the dew, avoiding his searching gaze.
She knew he was already suspicious.
The third brother in his previous life has never revealed his desire to compete for the throne in front of her since he was a child.
It was only when she arrived in Daliang that she gradually realized that the third brother later relied on Northern Hungary, and all he thought and planned was to return to Uzi and regain the throne from Luo Sumi.
It's a pity that the later Luo Sumi has the support of the beams, and the Northern Hun has declined slightly, and the third brother has failed again and again.
All this, she should not have known at this moment. But she is no longer the dew that he protected in her previous life.
After all, she is the future Youxian King of Beihun Shan Yu, and her third brother is not only good at killing, but also has a better way of thinking about peeking into people's hearts. She was afraid that if she said a few more words, it would make him even more suspicious.
Chao Lu stretched out his hand to hook the crook of his arm, shook it gently, and said coquettishly:
"With the talent of the third brother, the throne is like picking up things. My sister is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. β
Luo Xiao was entangled by her, so he chuckled and said:
"Lu Zhu'er is simple-minded, how can the third brother rest assured? After that, let's talk about it, and follow me out of the palace first. β
"But third brother, if the Buddha is forced to death by Luo Sumi, we will lose a big backer!" Chaolu hurriedly said, "It's not early now, and it's too late......
If Luo Xiao didn't hear it, his heart was crossed, his arm was closed, and he grabbed her waist and dragged her straight to the prison door. Chaolu wanted to break free, but he was firmly held in his arms, she stepped on him a few times, only to feel that his body was as hard as iron stone, and he didn't know the pain at all, and kept carrying her out in stride.
Chaolu shouted in a panic:
"Zou Yun!"
Seeing this, Zou Yun, who was in a dilemma, immediately rushed over when he heard the sound, drew a knife to stop him and said:
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you can't ......"
Luo Xiao glanced at him coldly, and just wanted to draw the knife, when he suddenly felt his heart tremble and his fingers tremble.
Chaolu took the opportunity to break free from his restraints, but suddenly saw him leaning over, his face pale:
"Third brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zou Yun's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and cold sweat was dripping behind him:
"Minister, the minister just arrested the assassin, I don't know that it was the third prince, and he injured His Highness by archery. The arrow was smeared with poison...... The antidote is here, but it takes a day of rest to get better. β
"You bastard!" Luo Xiao's eyes were split, and he wanted to cut this person, but he was weak, and only took a bite of him.
"You quickly send my third brother to the outside of the city to detoxify and recuperate! If there is a problem, come and see you! Chao Lu pretended to be angry and got up to leave.
A powerful force clasped her hand. Luo Xiao dragged her back and asked through gritted teeth:
"What about you?"
"Third brother, you wait for me. Give me a day, and I will go out of the palace to make peace with you. Chaolu patted his hand and said softly, "Third brother, don't worry, Luzhu'er, it will be fine." β
Consciousness began to sink, Luo Xiao looked at the girl's face, and his eyes gradually blurred.
He always held the pigeonstone she had given him in his hand, its color as scarlet as flesh cut through the darkness of the night.
β¦β¦
When Zou Yun was detoxifying the third brother, he turned back to Lu and said to Biyue, who was so frightened that he avoided the side:
"Go, find that dress."
Biyue was stunned for a long time.
The master has many dance skirts, but there is only one that can be referred to by "that".
"Didn't Your Highness say that you won't dance anymore?" She asked cautiously.
"Tonight, you have to jump." Chaolu lowered her eyes, took off her shirt and skirt, wore only plain silk clothes, and began to comb her makeup.
Chaolu took a thousand-feather woven gold gauze skirt handed by Biyue's hands.
The skirt is wonderful, the weaving method of the nine-fold feather yarn is half stacked and half scattered, when it stands still, the body is like a cloud; Once it dances, the layers swing out, and the legs under the tulle are faintly visible, and the fragrance is extremely gorgeous.
One by one, she stroked the light veil that was as white as the moon and soft as satin. Then, she raised her eyes and looked into the distance, looking at the Qionglou Yuyu in the twilight and the brightly lit night banquet.
She wanted to dance for him again, to serve Israel one last time.
