Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 15: Buy wine for you

Views:

"They said that before, the emperor had his own legitimate son, and the queen's family was not easy to mess with, so they didn't take the illegitimate child back, but just took care of him secretly." The bandit kept muttering to himself: "But as soon as the prince died, Luo Zhenwu's identity suddenly changed... Who cared about who Luo Zhenwu was before?"

Zhao Changhe was already numb.

Is this the reason why the Four Symbols Sect and the Blood God Sect destroyed the Luo family? If the emperor's bloodline is cut off, the world will be in chaos.

But the question is, when the prince died, wouldn't the old emperor be anxious to go to the Luo family to pick him up? Why did he let Luo Zhenwu stay in the Luo family... Moreover, judging from the attitude of the Luo family, they themselves didn't know such a serious matter as the prince's death, otherwise Luo Zhenwu would still be in the mood to play with the village girl

Or maybe it was just people's blind guessing, and the Luo family suffered an unprovoked disaster.

He asked cautiously, "When did the prince die? Did he die before or after Luo Zhenwu?"

The gangster clapped his hands and said, "What a coincidence! It was the afternoon when you, Boss, chopped Luo Zhenwu, just a few hours ago! At that time, Luo Zhenwu happened to be the only one left, so Boss Zhao's chop was really... It can be said that it was the beginning of a chaotic world. How could it not be famous?"

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath.

Judging from the time when the Blood God Cult went south, they were planning to kill Luo Zhenwu before the Crown Prince died... Was it a coincidence, or was the Crown Prince's death part of their plan from the beginning, and were they carrying out both actions at the same time

The words that Tang Zuzu said at that time flashed through his mind: "You don't know how serious this matter is... You will regret it."

She didn't come here because she received a request for help from Manor Lord Luo, nor did she wait for the main force to arrive. There was no main force at all, and it was likely that Manor Lord Luo's letter for help had not yet reached the capital... It was that as soon as the prince died that afternoon, she rushed to secretly pick him up and just happened to run into him.

From this point of view, the Luo family’s misfortune was not an unprovoked disaster, but a real event.

This matter was indeed serious, so serious that Zhao Changhe was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Position card, palace, dragon throne. So this is the connection, hahaha! This connection is useless, you stupid blind man!"

Gangster: “?”

Zhao Changhe patted his shoulder with a smile: "I know about this matter. Thanks, brother."

One strike of the sword created a chaotic world.

How can a chaotic world be created by one's own sword? Luo Zhenwu is such a loser, it would be a misfortune for the people if he really ascended the throne.

Just chop it off, it will get rid of a big thief!

Thinking of this, Zhao Changhe's nervousness instantly disappeared... He even felt better, because he felt so happy that the answer to the card puzzle that had been lingering in his heart was finally solved.

Although this matter still feels a bit puzzling, the communication attitude between the Luo family father and son is not right, and if it is just to kill Luo Zhenwu, someone can assassinate him, why is it necessary to wipe out the whole family in such a high-profile manner...

Who cares? Whether it is true or not, can it bring you any different situation

No. Anyway, we are all wanted and cannot leave the house.

It would be better to bring some food back to Luo Qi. Life still has to go on.

We talked for a long time today, and we returned later than yesterday. The sun had already set, and we couldn't see the road. However, when we returned to the cabin, Luo Qi hadn't come back yet. Zhao Changhe frowned, and even lost the desire to practice more. He paced back and forth, looking at the road at the entrance of the village.

I was worried yesterday that Luo Qi might be in danger, but that didn't happen. However, that doesn't mean the danger doesn't exist and it could happen at any time.

Could it be today

Zhao Changhe finally couldn't wait any longer, picked up his long sword and was about to go out. He had only taken a few steps when he saw Luo Qi coming back leisurely with his hands behind his back. Seeing him rushing out in a hurry, he seemed a little surprised, then thought of the reason, and his eyes curved slightly: "He's back, he's back."

Zhao Changhe also sighed and frowned: "Why is it so late today... Uh, that's not right..."

He sniffed and said, "Your smell is not right. I could smell the rancid smell on you before. How come it's gone now?"

Luo Qi's eyebrows curved even more: "I just went to the mountain stream behind to take a bath. I can't stand it if it stinks again. I feel like lice are crawling on my body."

"Winter swimming, awesome." Zhao Changhe was also a little eager to try, but also a little timid. I haven't tried winter swimming before, and I feel like I can't even take off my clothes, let alone go into the water. Sure enough, people in the first level of the entrance can do whatever they want...

"You go too, who would want to sleep with you if you stink?" Luo Qi found a good excuse for himself: "It wasn't that I was being pretentious before, it was that you really stink."

Zhao Changhe looked a little bitter: "It's so cold, you can endure it at the first level of Xuanguan, but I'm just a rookie."

"You're a grown man. Others who haven't practiced martial arts dare to go into the water in winter. You've practiced for a few days. Don't be a coward." Luo Qi smiled and took out his hand from behind. It was a wine gourd. "I brought you hot wine. It's useful at least."

Zhao Changhe was a little surprised: "Where did you get the hot wine?" "I went into the city today and bought some things." Luo Qi took out another oil-paper bag like a magic trick: "There is also some barbecue, to reward you for your hard work in practicing martial arts."

Zhao Changhe was surprised: "You didn't pay for these things out of your own pocket, did you? No matter how much money you brought with you when you left home, it wouldn't be enough."

"Today I arranged for them to go hunting... Although there are fewer wild animals in winter, there are still some. We got some pheasants and rabbits to get by. That's why we finished the job early, so I took the time to go to the city." Luo Qi frowned: "Just tell me whether you want it or not, you're such a big talker."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Changhe grabbed the wine gourd and the oil-paper bag and ran out: "I'll go directly to the waterside to eat, and then jump while it's hot."

Luo Qi walked into the house leisurely, saw the food on the table, and smiled slightly.

He encountered an emergency and had very little money on him. He used up all the money on buying these things today. He didn't eat anything at all because he knew he would have something to eat when he got back.

You save food for me and I buy wine for you.

As it should be.

I could vaguely hear a commotion coming from the entrance of the village, and someone was shouting, "You are not allowed to leave the village at night!"

Zhao Changhe's voice came: "Why haven't I heard of any curfew? Don't take it as an order. I'm just going out to take a shower, why are you talking so much nonsense!"

"Uh... Zhao, Boss Zhao..."

"Oh, it's you guys, you guys are also guarding the gate? Okay, okay, we're all on the same side, make way."

"If we had known it was Boss Zhao, we would never have stopped him. Who would dare to follow him?"

The sound faded away.

They are already grown up... Look at this situation, they are becoming more and more like bandits. Luo Qi ate his meal slowly and suddenly laughed.

A simple boy

Regardless of whether he is a bandit or not, he is clearly a born gangster. He adapted to this devil's den faster than he did, and became very successful in just a few days. God knows why he gave people a pure and simple impression at the beginning. It's amazing.

Luo Qi suddenly thought, in fact, he and Zhao Changhe didn't have much friendship, how many words did they say before the incident? Zhao Changhe treated him well mainly because he was lonely and guilty in a foreign land. After all, he was an acquaintance, so he was naturally close to him.

If he continues like this, he will be able to thrive and get along well with everyone. By then, Luo Qi will no longer be anything special. He may even have a better relationship with others than with him.

That’s good too, everyone has their own path.

Luo Qi leisurely tidied up the dishes and chopsticks, then sat on the bed and closed his eyes to practice martial arts.

In fact, he also worked very hard... It's just that Zhao Changhe was a little too abnormal. Luo Qi had never seen a abnormal person who worked so hard in practicing martial arts.

After the Qi circulated for dozens of cycles, footsteps were heard and Zhao Changhe returned.

Luo Qi opened his eyes in surprise: "Why so fast?"

"I thought about it when I got there. How can I drink alone? Of course I have to come back and drink with you." Zhao Changhe was refreshed after taking a bath. He took a bowl and poured wine, saying with a smile: "It's not as cold as I imagined. I'm still pretty good! Let's take a bath together next time."

Who will wash with you!

Luo Qi curled his lips, looking at the mist gradually rising from the still warm wine, his mood inexplicably improved a lot, and he said something else: "I saw your wanted poster at the city gate. It seems that the court takes it very seriously. It seems that you will have a hard time walking around in the future."

"Of course! I'm telling you, today I heard the reason why the Luo family was destroyed. Luo Zhenwu, who looks so awesome, is actually a prince!" Zhao Changhe handed over the wine bowl and said with a smile, "You've been in the manor for so long, can you tell that this guy still has this kind of dragon spirit?"

Luo Qi's hand trembled slightly as he took the bowl, causing the wine to sway and create ripples.

But he quickly smiled as if nothing had happened: "This reason is really shocking. I was so scared that my hands were shaking... You really have to be careful when you go out next time."

Thanks to the first Jiaoshangmeng~
