When Zhu Yushi walked out of the mourning hall, his eyes were full of tears, bloodshot, and the whole person seemed to be drained, and he couldn't even stand up his waist, like a walking corpse.

The door was already full of people, including the Li family, who was distressed by his son, who was silently crying, and Jiang Nuer, who was holding a baby in his arms. Luo Tianchu shouted in the crowd: "Let's come and see the children." Zhu Yushi didn't seem to hear it at all, took two steps with heavy steps, sat on the steps, and looked at his feet blankly. Luo Tianchu let the others disperse, leaving only the Li family, Jiang Nu'er and the child, and let them go to comfort Zhu Yushi. Li sat beside his son, and after whispering a few words, Zhu Yushi suddenly threw himself into her arms and cried loudly. Jiang Nuer also cried with them, and the sleeping baby in her arms was also woken up, and she also started crying. Ling Xue'er was moved by the scene in front of her and couldn't help but sob. Luo Tianchu said: "Let their family reunite first, and we will come to visit later." ”

The three of them left the Li Mansion, and Liu Shaoqing left with interest. Luo Tianchu and Ling Xue'er strolled down the long street. By this time, the vendors had already come out for business, and they sat down at a small table selling mutton steamed buns, and each asked for a bowl to eat. Chang'an's mutton steamed buns are famous all over the world, and the most authentic ones can only be eaten on the street, and this folk snack lacks a flavor in big restaurants. Ling Xue'er sighed while eating: "I hope Xiao Zhu can cheer up again after seeing the child, I want to cry when I see him so uncomfortable." Luo Tianchu said: "He is strong enough, better than I expected." ”

Ling Xue'er said: "If it was me who died, would you be as sad and sad as him." Luo Tianchu said: "What are you talking about stupidly?" Ling Xue'er sighed: "I'm just touching the scene." Luo Tianchu said: "Lord Ling and Brother Zhong are as kind to me as a mountain, everyone in the Blood Knife Castle is my mentor and friend, my life has belonged to the Blood Knife Castle, and I have no energy to take care of my children's personal affairs, if I snub you or do something wrong, it is definitely not my intention, I hope you can forgive me." Ling Xue'er nodded and said, "I know, I never blamed you." ”

Luo Tianchu was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Actually, a good girl like you shouldn't wait for someone who may die at any time like this. You deserve to be happier. Ling Xue'er said: "Only I know whether I am happy or not, I think happiness is enough." Luo Tianchu paused and said, "If there is a person who loves you ten times more than me, I hope you will go with him." Ling Xue'er suddenly raised her head and stared at him, put down her chopsticks heavily, and said sharply: "What did you say?" Luo Tianchu didn't dare to look at her, lowered his head and said, "I'm just afraid of delaying you." Ling Xue'er slapped the case and raised her hand to hit him in the face. Luo Tianchu subconsciously grabbed her wrist and exclaimed, "What are you doing?" Ling Xue'er glared at him and said, "I thought we had a good heart, but who knew that you were so strange, I really misjudged you." With that, he rushed out without looking back.

Luo Tianchu couldn't hold her, but he didn't chase her, he stood up in the face of the curious eyes of pedestrians, put five cents on the table, and turned to leave. He returned to the government to find Cui Xing to discuss matters, and Cui Xing brought all the official documents and matters that had been reviewed during this period of time, Luo Tianchu turned a few pages and closed them, and said, "I can trust you to do things." You are the Taishou of Chang'an, so you don't have to report this kind of thing to me in the future. Cui Xing said: "It's not that I don't know how to lift, it's just that the castle owner can't fully trust anyone, so he has to have reservations." Luo Tianchu said: "Sticky Han sneak attack on Chang'an, if it weren't for Brother Cui leading the whole army to retreat into the imperial city to hold on, Chang'an would have changed hands." Brother Cui is the first hero of this battle, and he saved all the soldiers of my army, I have no reason not to trust Brother Cui, and please accept my worship. ”

Cui Xing was greatly moved, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold his arm and said, "It's all a matter of subordinates, why should the castle master say thank you." Luo Tianchu said: "At that time, the situation was very unfavorable to our army, and it was reasonable to surrender, but Brother Cui chose to fight, which is no longer within his bounds." Cui Xing smiled: "If it is replaced by Lu Fei or Gu Yao, will they be within their own business?" Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "This is different. Cui Xing said with a smile: "They are all life and death brothers who share the weal and woe of the castle master, and I used to be an official of the Qi State, so it is within their duty to fight, and it is reasonable for me to surrender, is that so?" Luo Tianchu smiled bitterly: "Brother Cui, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that." Cui Xing smiled: "The castle lord doesn't need to explain, I just hope that the castle lord will treat me as a brother in the future, so that I can do things within my responsibility." Luo Tianchu said happily: "Of course, we will be called brothers in the future." ”

Cui Xing smiled: "Then let's get down to business, I don't know what the castle lord has to call his subordinates." Luo Tianchu said: "Of course, it is still the murder of my brother and sister, and now this matter is the most headache for me, Xiao Zhu is heartbroken, and I don't know how to persuade him." Cui Xing said: "This matter is really unfortunate, what can my subordinates do." Luo Tianchu said: "I want to ask you to write a letter in my name, describe this matter tactfully, personally go to the Zhengyi faction of Longhu Mountain, and hand over the letter to He Renjin, the second master." The second head of the family is the father of his younger siblings, Xiao Zhu's father-in-law, and the person who goes to report the funeral must also be a decent person, only Brother Cui is suitable. Cui Xing said: "A trivial matter, the subordinates will get it done." Luo Tianchu said: "Also, when you pass through Tongguan, ask the Lord of Lu Tang to send troops to escort a captive named Sa Liyu to Chang'an. He is the general of the Jin Kingdom, and I want to interrogate him well. Cui Xing commanded: "Yes, my subordinates will go and prepare." ”

After Cui Xing left, Luo Tianchu also left the palace, and he asked the guard: "Has the eldest lady ever come back?" The guard said: "The eldest lady came back just now, and when she entered the door, she met the owner of Liu Zhuang, and the two seemed to have tea together." Luo Tianchu thought that it would be good if he could promote the two of them because of this, so he didn't look for it, and went to Zhu Mansion to visit Zhu Yushi and the child.

Liu Shaoqing sat at the window table on the second floor of the Xianhe Teahouse, played with the celadon teacup in his hand, and silently looked at Ling Xue'er, who drank all the liquor, and said: "The guests who come here are all eating tea, only you eat wine." Ling Xue'er was already three points drunk, filled herself with a glass, and said: "Where there is wine to sell, you can eat wine, who said that you must eat tea when you come to the teahouse." "Then I had another full drink. Liu Shaoqing said: "I only know that no matter how much you eat, you can't solve the problem." Ling Xue'er smiled sadly: "Can I solve the problem without eating? This is not my problem at all." ”

Liu Shaoqing sighed lightly and said, "Luo Tianchu made you angry, right?" Ling Xue'er said: "It's me who is angry with myself, why am I so spineless when I am angry, he can't be ruthless when he says that kind of thing." Liu Shaoqing said: "What did he say to you?" Ling Xue'er didn't answer and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to accompany me?" Liu Shaoqing thought for a while and said, "Is it because I'm not an eventful person." Ling Xue'er nodded and said, "Then don't ask me about him." Liu Shaoqing said: "Even if I tell other people's things, I am not interested, but the girl is different, I really want to know what happened and why the girl is so sad." ”

Ling Xue'er suddenly said, "Why am I different?" Liu Shaoqing avoided her gaze and said, "Because you are my friend." Ling Xue'er ate another glass of wine, and said with the strength of the wine: "Actually, I can feel it." Liu Shaoqing's heart tightened, and said, "What do you feel?" Ling Xue'er mustered up the courage to ask, "...... Do you like me?"

Liu Shaoqing's body suddenly stiffened, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and it took a long time before he said, "Did Luo Tianchu tell you?" Ling Xue'er sighed: "There are some things that you can feel without being told by others, but I don't want to break it, otherwise everyone's faces will not look good." Liu Shaoqing sighed: "Then why are you saying it now?" Ling Xue'er's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she said word for word: "I have to say it, because I think you are shameless in doing this." Liu Shaoqing's body trembled slightly, bit her lip and said, "What did I do?" Ling Xue'er said: Because I figured out why Luo Tianchu persuaded me to like others, it turned out to be related to you. Liu Shaoqing said: "Where does this start?" (To be continued.) )
