Chapter 1629 - Where did the soldiers come from?
Due to the relatively good secrecy work, the news of Princess Yongning's visit to Guangling did not spread, and the townspeople did not know that in the past two days, accompanied by Luo Xiu'er, the masked woman who was wandering around the town would actually be Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Yongning is still a little curious about this military household guard, the key is that he can't imagine how such a small town can raise a demon like Luo Dong, so he asked Luo Xiuer to take her all over the streets and alleys, and she wanted to see any place with Luo Dong's footprints.
Luo Xiuer didn't hide anything, and everywhere she went, she told the stories of Luo Dong when she was a child quite carefully, don't look at her not good at words on weekdays, but as long as the stories related to Luo Dong are still very vivid.
After two days, through a series of prosaic so-called stories, Yongning still can't connect the former Luo Dong with the current Luo Dong, it feels like he is not a person at all.
"Yes, he has changed a lot. â
Luo Xiu'er could understand her heart, and also said: "A year ago, when he came back from the battlefield, I also felt that he was not the same Luo Dong as before. â
"Are you talking about the Battle of Hongyu?" asked Yongning.
Luo Xiu'er nodded: "But what happened in that war, I don't know, he didn't say it, and I don't dare to ask more." â
"I do know a thing. â
Prior to this, Yongning had collected some information very carefully, and said at this moment: "Someone swore that he had witnessed him die on the battlefield once, but then, he was resurrected miraculously, not only did he have no scars on his body, but also became extremely brave, he himself said that he was possessed by the god of war...... But these are just rumors that are difficult to verify, and I don't know if they are true or not. â
Luo Xiuer replied calmly: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, but his is indeed Luo Dong, we grew up together since childhood, and many characteristics cannot be changed." â
Luo Xiuer was embarrassed to say it clearly, and when she helped him take a bath and rub his back, she could know that the features on his body when he was a child were still there, but they were all a few sizes bigger.
"I was just curious, but I didn't question anything. â
Yongning smiled, and then said to her with a slightly complicated gaze and tone: "Sister Luo Xiu'er, thank you for being with me for the past two days, and for telling me so many things. â
"Your Highness is too polite. â
Luo Xiu'er replied softly: "Whether you are a guest at home or a friend of his, this is what I should do." â
"But ......"
Yongning hesitated for a moment, but still asked tentatively: "Sister, for my appearance, I ...... Will there be some discomfort?"
"Your Highness must want to hear my truth when you ask this......"
Luo Xiu'er bowed her head slightly and replied truthfully: "It's not that I'm uncomfortable, but I'm a little scared." I know that I am not worthy of him, and I am less and less worthy of him, and sooner or later, there will be such a high-ranking girl as His Highness by his side, a thousand times better than me...... But I still don't want to let him go, and I don't know how I can live my life in the future without him. â
"If you're just scared, there's no need for my sister to be so worried. â
Yongning felt a light in his heart, and said softly: "I think he is not a man without a sense of responsibility, no matter what, it is impossible to abandon you." â
There is no need to say the rest of the words, which obviously also imply: If I can have some kind of result with him, I can also accept you.
Although Yongning belongs to the latecomers, after all, her incomparably noble princess status is there, in comparison, Luo Xiuer is just a child daughter-in-law who was sold to the Luo family since she was a child, which is equivalent to half a servant.
In terms of status, Yongning is indeed qualified to say this kind of thing, after all, this is a feudal society, and there is no fair concept that everyone is equal.
"Thank you, Your Highness. â
Therefore, Luo Xiuer wants to thank Yongning in turn at the moment, and if she is the earth world, the girl with a slightly tougher personality has already pounced on her and tore her mouth: You are a shameless junior, you dare to oppose the guest?
Although Luo Chong repeatedly said that he had never thought about marrying any princess and being a concubine, from Luo's mother to Luo Xiu'er, they all felt that if such an excellent woman as Princess Yongning chased him with iron heart, it was almost impossible to fail, and few men in the world could refuse.
In their consciousness, it didn't matter whether Luo Chong was willing or not, Yongning only needed to ask her father to make a holy decree after returning to Beijing, and this matter would be dead. As a courtier, how dare you resist the decree.
All in all, it is impossible to miss the target that Her Royal Highness the Princess is looking at.
Wandering around the town during the day, as soon as he returned to the Luo family's compound, Yongning would chat with Luo's mother, although he didn't say it explicitly, but there were many hints in the words: If I become your daughter-in-law, I will definitely honor you well, and there will definitely be no princess or temper, and I will definitely make you the happiest mother-in-law in the world.
The sister-in-law of the Luo family said well, Her Royal Highness the princess's soft knife work is really unusual, just like two or three days, she almost conquered Luo's mother, and it is almost impossible for the old lady to have any resistance.
Before going to bed that night, Luo's mother was thinking: Yongning's child is really quite good, she is an extremely sensible and well-behaved girl in an ordinary family, and it is rare for her to be a pampered princess.
Don't forget, when our family was just an ordinary military household, we didn't have the luxury of having three wives and four concubines in this life, and it was very good to be able to marry a good daughter-in-law, but now, if you can find a person like Yongning, what else can you ask for......
Under the moonlight, at the same time, Yongning was also lying on the bed and thinking: now, his family basically has no resistance, and the key is to see if he can finally melt his iron lump.
Iron pimple!
That's right, he's a stinky, hard lump of iron. Yongning never thought that chasing a man would be so difficult, he had already done this kind of journey, and he didn't even say anything until now.
Besides, Luo Chong didn't care about taking care of Yongning at all in the past two days, except for going home to eat and sleep after dark, almost all the rest of the time was soaked in the barracks.
It's not that Luo Chong, a half-hung general, is dedicated, but he has been playing in the mountains and rivers all the way, and he has been with the princess and sister for many days, this is not enough, when will there be enough.
As an innocent man, he should be aware of this kind of thing, and he must pretend not to understand it even though he understands it very well, hmm......
The general of the third rank can lead tens of thousands of troops, or thousands of cavalry!
Now, the official position is there, but the question is, where did the five thousand cavalry come from?
Guangling Town, a big place, now has 500 cavalry and more than 1,000 infantry, and it is impossible to have more troops.
Five hundred is easy to say, but five thousand is too difficult. Moreover, judging from the current situation in the world, there is not so much time to train thousands of elite cavalry.
"Where are you going to find so many soldiers?"
Of course, the person who was worried was not Luo Chong, but several generals such as Hong Haishan and Ma Hanzi under him.
Strictly speaking, Hong Haishan and Ma Hanzi are real soldiers, and the meaning of saving zĂ i is to fight on the battlefield, the difference is only that if you don't meet Luo Chong, you may be a small soldier for the rest of your life, and now you have the possibility of becoming a contemporary famous general.
As a general, who doesn't want the more soldiers under his command as much as possible, Hong Haishan and them are the same, but I think that no matter how great our General Luo Dong's ability is, it is not a god, it is impossible to scatter beans into soldiers, and directly conjure up thousands of elite soldiers, right?
They were all secretly anxious, but Luo Chong seemed leisurely, and he didn't have the intention of opening the door to recruit troops at all.
"Don't worry, if you fall asleep, someone will naturally bring a pillow. â
Luo Chong said to Ma Hanzi and them: "You just wait patiently, take advantage of this gap, first sort out the training plan, the more detailed the better......
Luo Chong didn't explain too much about specific things, which was quite a bit of a mystery that could not be revealed.
In fact, they didn't let Ma Hanzi wait too long, on the morning of the fourth day when His Royal Highness Yongning arrived in Guangling, Luo Chong had just arrived at the barracks on his front foot, and within a quarter of an hour, a personal soldier came to report: "General, someone outside the camp asked to see him and sent a post." â
Luo Chong casually opened the incomparably exquisite greeting post and glanced at it, then handed it to Hong Haishan beside him: "Look, the person who delivered the pillow has arrived." â
As soon as Hong Haishan received it, he saw the signature at the bottom of the post: Kaiping King Zhou Xuanhao!
