If he didn't go to the barracks, Luo Yao would stay in the high-rise building all day long, except for occasionally going around the backyard, he would hardly be seen walking around. There seemed to be some treasure in that building that attracted him, and it still didn't make him lose interest after so many years.
In fact, this is just due to his temperament. If it weren't for those who knew him well, it would be hard for everyone to think that the general Luo Yao would be like a scholar when he was quiet, often sinking into a book and not moving for a long time. Luo Yao also likes to go to the barracks to experience the excitement, and he is also extremely heroic when drinking with his generals. So even for those who are familiar with him, it is difficult to determine whether the general likes quiet or lively.
Chu seldom goes to high-rise buildings, she and Luo Yao live in the same yard but seem to be living in different worlds. The two are husband and wife, but they seldom meet each other.
After returning from the barracks, Luo Yao saw his wife Chu standing outside the tall building from a long distance away. She looked at Xiaohu in a daze, as if he was so familiar with her when he first met her many years ago. The first time he saw her back then, she was also standing by a small lake, looking at her own reflection on the water in a daze. At that moment, Luo Yao knew that this woman would become his wife.
She was born in a small family with average family circumstances. So the marriage was settled quickly, after all Luo Yao was already a newcomer in the army at that time. Although the position is not high, holding the salary of the court is enough to satisfy ordinary people.
After she married Luo Yao, she did everything a wife should do, except that she doted on her son Luo Wu too much.
Because of this, Luo Yao's murder of his son became a wound between them that would never heal.
"How did you come?"
Luo Yao walked to Chu's side and asked softly.
For his wife, he has always felt guilty. So over the years, no matter what changes his wife has made, he has never questioned her or even intervened. He knew that the Chu family hated him, so he seldom went to that small courtyard. He knew that the Chu family had done some excessive things these years, but he pretended not to know.
"Tell you something about Zixu."
Chu answered blankly, her eyes still fixed on the water.
"go in."
Luo Yao said.
"Need not."
Chu shook her head: "Is Zixu your son?"
"Why do you ask this?"
"He had contact with people from the Buddhist sect a while ago. Besides beating him up, did you ask him another question? For so many years, he seems to be something you picked up from other places, and you don't want to throw it in the mansion. Do not ask."
"You know... Back then, it was because I doted too much on Xianchang..."
"I don't want to hear that."
Chu turned her head and glanced at Luo Yao, with a cold look in her eyes: "I just want to tell you that if something happens to Zixu because of your negligence, I will never forgive you."
"I... I'll go see him when I turn around, and go into the house, okay?"
The Chu family ignored the pleading in Luo Yao's tone, and said in a flat and cold tone: "Also, the Imperial Envoy hasn't been to the mansion for a while, I want to see him."
"Okay, I'll arrange it later."
Chu nodded, turned and left.
Looking at her back, Luo Yao couldn't help laughing bitterly, the sadness in his eyes was so strong. At the beginning, he and her were so in love with each other, every parting seemed to be a torment. Every time he went out, she counted the days. Every time he comes back, she clings to him like a child. However, since that day in Chang'an City where he killed their first child with his own hands, she never smiled again. Since then, she has sealed herself off, and he has never entered her heart for more than twenty years.
But Luo Yao loves her so much, because of Luo Wu's big mistake back then, Luo Yao killed thirty-two members of his family in one go, including his old father, his own brother, and the daughters of two concubines. Alone did not kill her. Before he went to Beijing to plead guilty, he knelt down in front of her and wept bitterly. But she sat on the chair stupidly, with no life in her eyes.
Thinking of those pasts, Luo Yao's heart began to ache.
Didn't he just want to keep her when he killed his whole family to forgive Luo Yao
Back in the study, Luo Yao leaned on the chair and was silent for a while. I don't know how long it took before he let out a long sigh of relief and told the outside: "Go and call Zhongbo here, and just say that I have something to ask him."
The soldiers outside responded and walked away quickly.
In the three-storey stilt building opposite the small lake, in a study room with the same layout as Luo Yao's study room, Luo Wen sat on a chair and stared blankly at the red pill on the table in front of him. It was given to him by Shi Yuan, and he threw the kit containing the elixir into the fire in front of Zhong Bo, but he had secretly taken out the elixir before.
eat
Still don't eat
He has been sitting for a whole morning, just staring at this elixir in a daze.
"Just having a wolf-faced spirit ape...isn't enough!"
He murmured, and then a sternness flashed in his eyes.
"I have to rely on myself, I am not just Luo Yao's son, I am Luo Wen, the unique Luo Wen in heaven and earth!"
He grabbed the elixir and stuffed it into his mouth, leaning back and swallowing it.
After a while.
A gleam of red light flashed in his eyes!
…
…
The next day was the day of the competition with Ye Jinnan, and Fang Jie still acted very leisurely. He returned to the residence early from the mountain camp, as if he had forgotten the next day's competition. Since the day before yesterday he brought all the troops of the Shanzi Battalion out for training, he never led any training again.
The soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion were very nervous, but he was extraordinarily relaxed as if nothing had happened.
It's just that this relaxation is for others to see.
Fang Jie knew that the more nervous he was, the more nervous the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion were. And if he behaved calmly, the soldiers would feel that he was sure of victory. Of course, he didn't have much confidence in tomorrow's competition. After returning to his residence, he had lunch with Mu Xiaoyao, Shen Qingfan and others, and then spent the whole afternoon shopping.
He deliberately changed his clothes, and walked on the street with two beautiful beauties. The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman will always attract people's envy. When the women saw Shen Qingshan and Mu Xiaoyao, they would curl their lips to express their disdain, but in their hearts they were thinking about why they were not so beautiful. The men looked at the two of them with greed, while they looked at Fang Xie with hatred.
Fang Jie didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, but when he saw cardamom girls or young women winking and smiling at him, he would smile back with a bright smile, making those women shy for a while. Nine out of ten men wandered the streets to see women, and it was hot enough that there was always something to be gained from walking the streets. And when women go shopping, it's not just to buy something. Who can deny that they don't go to the street to see handsome men.
It seemed that he was walking aimlessly on the street, flirting with Shen Qing and Mu Xiaoyao from time to time. After visiting many shops, I finally walked into the door of Jubaozhai.
When the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai saw Fang Jie, he rushed over to welcome him, and greeted him to sit down in the room specially for VIP reception.
"Is everything ready?"
Fang asked.
The shopkeeper nodded: "It was done a few days ago, and I wanted to send it to you. I know you have been busy in the camp recently, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Now everyone in the city knows it. General Ye will have a competition tomorrow. I don’t know how many casinos have placed bets, and how many people have bet money.”
"oh?"
Fang Jie couldn't help laughing: "Who will win more against me or General Ye?"
"There are more people who suppress General Ye. After all, General Ye is one of the ten heroes of Luomen. The people in Yongzhou know the name of General Ye, but there are also many people who suppress you."
"What are the odds?"
"One to four."
Fang Jie smiled, and beckoned to Chen Xiaoru who was guarding the door. Then he escaped from his arms and handed him a stack of silver bills, saying, "This is three thousand taels of silver. Find a few casinos to place bets on. Buy and I will win."
"ah?"
Chen Xiaoru froze for a moment, then looked at Fang Jie in disbelief.
"Go ahead, if you win, it will be a lot of money for the boss, and the day after tomorrow I will give you a little more money."
"Uh... What if we lose? You won't deduct our regular money, will you?"
Chen Xiaoru couldn't help asking.
Fang Jie rolled his eyes at him: "If you lose, your own will be deducted, and it will be deducted for thirty years."
Chen Xiaoru smiled embarrassingly, and went out with the bank note.
Taking advantage of this moment, the shopkeeper went inside and took out the finished things. The things were packed in a very delicate sandalwood box with a lock on the outside. After opening it, the shopkeeper carefully took it out and handed it to Fang Jie, asking, "Take a look, is it similar to the picture you drew?"
Fang Jie took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise: "Perfect."
This is a pair of glasses made after polishing with crystal. The frame is made of the best and hardest wood. It took a full month to make the glasses, so one can imagine how delicate the workmanship is.
"The crystal you gave is enough, so I made two."
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "This is the first time I've seen this thing, and I tried it on... My heart has been fascinated for several days. If it wasn't for killing me, I wouldn't be able to afford it. I really want to keep one for myself."
His eyesight is not very good, no wonder he is so envious.
Fang Jie smiled and said: "I still have two crystals in my hand. I'll send someone to bring them to you later, and you can find a craftsman to make them yourself. But this thing needs to know how bad your eyes are, so it needs to be polished. You have to try it again and again. It’s thousands of miles away from the capital, so the person I’m going to give it to probably won’t be able to wear it very well. I don’t know if it will work or not, and if it’s useless, I’ll waste a few crystals.”
"It works, it works."
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I tried it on and it looked a lot clearer."
Fang Jie laughed loudly, put the glasses on and handed them to the shopkeeper: "Find a safe guy to send to the imperial capital, send one to the mansion of Mr. Pei, the servant of Huangmen, and give the other to Sanjinhou, so that he can present it to His Majesty on your behalf. "
"I go back and pick the right guy."
"Um."
Fang Jie hummed: "Besides, there is something I have to tell you. Your eldest lady has come to Yongzhou, you should know how Sanjinhou will react. So you find a way to send her back to the imperial capital .If this matter can’t be handled well, I guess you, the shopkeeper, will be done.”
"this… "
The shopkeeper smiled embarrassingly: "Actually, I know..."
He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fang Jie: "Master Hou's handwritten letter, sent by Fei Ge last night."
Fang Jie was startled, took the letter and unfolded it to read, then froze: "Wu Yidao... your uncle's!"
The shopkeeper smiled, stood up and saluted: "Master Hou said... let us treat you as a son-in-law from now on..."
