[Ran^Text^Library] After a few days of long travel, Luo Xuerou returned safely to Lingxiang City under the escort of Ah Xiu, she told her father Luo Shuhe what happened during this time, and Luo Shuhe, who listened directly, broke out in a cold sweat, and only after making sure that his daughter was safe and sound did he put his mind at ease and thanked Ah Xiu. novel

Under Luo Xuerou's strong retention, Ah Xiu stayed in the City Lord's Mansion. These days, Luo Xuerou handed over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to Yue Mingjun to deal with, and she accompanied Ah Xiu wholeheartedly, and the two lived comfortably together, until the seventh day, Luo Shuhe suddenly called Ah Xiu to the study, and Ah Xiu didn't know why, so he had to go.

Luo Shuhe looked at Ah Xiu quietly, and said after a while: "Lin Shaoxia, this time has really worked hard for you, Xue Rou has rarely been so happy." ”

"It's nothing, Cheryl is my friend, we share weal and woe, and now that her injuries have just healed, I should naturally spend more time with her. Ah Xiu hurriedly said, he still has a lot of respect for this old city lord.

Luo Shuhe nodded and said, "Is it as simple as just friends between you and Rou'er?"

Ah Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Lord Luo, what do you mean by this?"

Luo Shuhe said: "It's nothing, I didn't want to participate in the affairs of your young and strong people, but as Rou'er's father, I still have something to say." ”

Listening to Luo Shuhe's unkind tone, Ah Xiu was also a little hesitant, so he had to smile and said, "If the Lord of Luo City has anything to say, just say it, I'll listen." ”

Luo Shuhe sighed and said, "How Rou'er feels about you, I see it in my eyes as a father, I want to remind you that you two are not suitable." ”

Ah Xiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and the smile on his face was put away, although he and Luo Xuerou did not have a definite relationship, but they knew each other's feelings, and at this moment, when Luo Shuhe said this, his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable: "Lord Luo, you might as well talk about it specifically." ”

Luo Shuhe stared at Ah Xiu for a moment, and said: "No matter what Rou'er says, she is the young master of Lingxiang City, and the person she wants to marry must not only be both civil and military, but also be the right person." Lin Shaoxia, your martial arts are naturally not to say, but can your family status bring happiness to Rou'er?"

"Is it just that simple?" Ashu asked lightly.

Luo Shuhe was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Also, during the time that Xue Rou left, Jinghai sent someone to come. ”

"Are you here to propose?" Ah Xiu asked, he had seen Jing Hao say this in public before, and he couldn't help blurting out at this moment.

Luo Shuhe glanced at Ah Xiu with some surprise: "Yes, this is what Jinghai sent to say, you also know that Jinghai's second son is about to go out of the mountain, and he is the heir of the six saints of Tiannan and the young duke, so he ......"

"So the old city lord agreed?" Ah Xiu asked in a cold voice.

Luo Shuhe shook his head and sighed: "Not yet, but if we can take this opportunity to repair the relationship between our Lingxiang and Jinghai, it would be good." ”

Hearing this, Ah Xiu couldn't help laughing, but there was mockery and disdain in the laughter, and when he had laughed enough, he slowly spoke: "I haven't seen many people, but even so, I still see a lot of people who sell their daughters to gain benefits, I can't think of it, you are the same." ”

"Presumptuous!" Luo Shuhe was a little angry.

Ah Xiu didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, he continued: "Old City Lord, do you know what Xue Rou would rather take the risk to go to the Principality of Lanqing alone?

"This ......" Luo Shuhe suddenly frowned.

Ah Xiu continued: "Although Xue Rou may not suffer a loss when she marries into the Jing family, you and I both know that her heart will definitely not feel good, is this what you want to see? Is this the happiness you want to give her?"

Luo Shuhe was silent, as if he was doing a psychological struggle, and then he heard Ah Xiu say again: "Lord Luocheng, what is Jing Haiti personally for? is to control Lingxiang into his own hands without spending a single soldier, I think, you should know this better than me." Hmph, then you're going to have to give away all these years of business. ”

Luo Shuhe's hands pressed the bookcase, and it could be seen from the whitish joints between his fingers that he was in great pain now, and after a while, he raised his head, looking a little old between his eyebrows, and he said slowly: "Lin Shaoxia, how can I not know what you said, but I also have my own troubles." The last Wei Xiyang mutiny made me see Jinghai's nature more clearly, this person is even more cunning and murderous than I imagined. With Lingxiang's current power, he has almost no chance of winning with Jing Haidou. I'm not for myself, but once I fight, when the Jinghai army is overwhelmed, Lingxiang will turn into a scorched earth, so what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in the three cities of Lingxiang City?"

"This ......" Hearing Luo Shuhe say this, Ah Xiu couldn't help but hesitate, yes, what about tens of thousands of lives, I thought about it for a long time and didn't get an answer, so I had to frown and ask: "Lord Luo, is there no other way?"

Luo Shuhe thought for a while and said, "It's not that there is no way at all, unless we can get help from other forces, but who wants to offend Jinghai for us for no reason?"

"Yes, why should people help Lingxiang?" Ah Xiu also sighed, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Unless we can come up with what they want, then they may be able to support us." ”

Luo Shuhe's spirit was also for a while when he heard this, but his face darkened for a moment, and he said in a low voice: "There are only a handful of forces that can fight against Jinghai, and we Lingxiang have some people, how can there be anything missing? Unless...... Hey, forget it......"

Hearing Luo Shuhe's change in tone, Ah Xiu hurriedly asked, "Lord Luo City, if you have anything to say, maybe I can help." ”

Luo Shuhe hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "A few years ago, I once got a thing, which is a priceless treasure, and the last time the people of the Demon Spirit Sect helped Wei Xiyang to rebel, it was also to get that kind of thing, although I swore not to say it at the time, but afterwards I found that that thing was gone, if there was it, I would definitely be able to find reinforcements." ”

"What the hell is that?" Ashu couldn't help but wonder.

But seeing that Luo Shuhe seemed to have made a lot of determination, he said: "Star map fragments." ”

Ah Xiu's heart was shocked, he didn't expect that Luo Shuhe also had star map fragments, and the people of the Demon Spirit Sect had been looking for this thing before, he forced himself to stabilize his emotions, and said slowly: "I have also heard of star map fragments, but I didn't expect that you also have Luo City Lord." ”

Luo Shuhe smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, it's a pity that the fragment is not there now, if it can be recovered, then Lingxiang will definitely be worry-free." ”

After listening to Luo Shuhe's words, Ah Xiu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Lord Luo, please rest assured, since this matter is related to Xue Rou, then it is my duty to find you the fragments of the star map." ”

"Really?" Luo Shuhe's eyes lit up, he stepped forward and bowed deeply to Ah Xiu, and said, "If Lin Shaoxia can really find this thing, then the old man should be grateful." ”

Looking at Luo Shuhe's appearance, the corners of Ah Xiu's mouth turned up slightly.
