Luo Guan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's praise, Luo Guan is unworthy of it." His attitude was respectful, but it was only respectful, and there was calmness deep in his eyes.
To the Zhao royal family...
Sorry, no matter the actions of the eldest and second eldest brother, or the tacit approval from the imperial palace on the day of the Battle of Xishan, they all made him unfavorable.
I wanted to deal with it simply and skip this opening statement, but the old emperor seemed to be interested in it, "Luo Guan, I ask you, if the royal family really has a princess, would you be willing to marry her?"
Luo Guan frowned secretly, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Luo Guan is devoted to cultivation and has no intention of starting a family. Besides..." He smiled sheepishly, "I have a cousin who should be a father now. When I was here, Jiang Ning once warned me not to be tied up too early."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"I'm still young and the world is so big. I always want to see more."
In the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, everyone, including the three princes, stared wide-eyed. They did not expect that he would dare to answer like this when faced with His Majesty's question.
The old emperor laughed, "You kid, you are quite straightforward..." He waved his hand, "Okay, everyone is here, let's have a banquet."
A young and beautiful palace maid poured wine for everyone.
The old emperor raised his glass and said, "The royal family and the Imperial Army have worked closely together for four hundred years to safeguard the peace of Qingyang and support this world for the people of the world."
"But the dean and I are both old, so this heavy responsibility will be handed over to you. I hope you can continue all this."
Had the first drink.
Zhao Chao looked up at the empty seat with a puzzled expression on his face, "Father, why didn't my mother and concubine come?"
The old emperor's eyes were soft, "Your mother-in-law has been feeling a little unwell lately. She had a severe migraine just now, so I asked her to stay in the palace to rest."
Zhao Chao looked anxious, "Has the concubine's headache recurred?" He stood up, "Father, I would like to visit you now, please allow me!"
"You kid..." The old emperor shook his head with a loving look on his face, "That's all, since I'm filial, I'll make it right."
Zhao Chao was overjoyed. After thanking him, he walked into the palace, saluted and apologized to Luo Guan, and then left in a hurry. This scene made the old emperor feel even more satisfied.
It's a pity that the third child is too young, otherwise... He turned his eyes and landed on the two adult princes, dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes. The eldest brother is too arrogant and the second child is too yin. Neither of them can satisfy him, but now he has no other choice.
The old emperor suppressed his thoughts and said: "Luo Guan, you have met all three of my sons. There may have been some misunderstandings before. After drinking this cup today, it is all in the past."
"Young man, you should look forward to everything. What do you think?"
Luo Guan smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty
What I said below is absolutely true. "
Seeing his statement, the old emperor smiled even more. The eldest prince and the second prince took the initiative to stand up and invited Luo Guan to have a drink with him. The atmosphere became more harmonious.
After a few more drinks, the eldest prince suddenly said: "Master Luo, when you were outside the palace earlier, didn't you say that you had something to do today and wanted to ask your father for help? My father was in a good mood at this time, so it was a good time to make a request. "
"Oh?" The old emperor looked at him after hearing this, "I and the dean have known each other since we were young, and we are also your elders. Luo Guan, if you have any request, it doesn't matter."
Luo Guan put down his wine glass and held it in his hand, "Thank you, Your Majesty. That guy will get straight to the point."
He pondered for a while and said: "Due to the limitations of my own skills, I have a high demand for the spiritual power of the outside world. I accidentally discovered a spring of spiritual power in Qingliang Alley, which satisfied my needs. But it's a pity. , due to some accidents, there was a spring of spiritual power in the small courtyard, and everyone knew about it..."
Speaking of this, Luo Guan paused for a moment, glanced at Zhao Tian without any trace, shook his head and sighed, "Not long after, the spiritual power spring was destroyed by someone, and I almost failed to break through because of it. Now I have that gray hair." Caused by an accident.”
"So, Luo Guan would like to ask Your Majesty to show mercy and give me a new spiritual spring for my cultivation needs... Well, that's it."
There was silence in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
The old eunuch who led Luo Guan to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests was now huddled in the corner, his eyes widening subconsciously. I thought before that this Luo Shaoyuan was so courageous that he dared to do whatever he wanted in front of His Majesty, but now I realized, what was that?
A mouth is a spring of spiritual power!
This thing is more valuable than ten mountains of gold put together. Can you just ask for it? !
The eldest prince's eyes exploded with a brilliant light.
At this moment, the second child was frightened and thought to himself that the man named Luo just now, what is he looking at me for?
"That's right..." The old emperor frowned and tapped his fingers on the table, "Luo Guan, as the Emperor's Young Master, you cannot stay away from the Imperial Capital for a long time. The required spiritual power spring must be within the Imperial Capital. Or within the Gyeonggi Province.”
"I will tell you the truth, there are indeed other spiritual springs in the Imperial Capital and Gyeonggi area, but they have been given to others for use, so I cannot satisfy this request for the time being.
Luo Guan hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I wonder if you can lend me a spiritual power spring for a while? This kid has reached a critical juncture in his cultivation and needs help to break through. Of course, I promise not to damage the spiritual power spring. I would like to borrow half a month, please give me your Majesty’s permission.”
The old emperor frowned slightly. He didn't know what Luo Guan's plan was. It's not like Diwu didn't have a spring of spiritual power. You, the majestic Emperor Diwu Young Master, still need to come and follow him.
Borrowed by the royal family?
But what he said before was too full, and he had already rejected Luo Guan once...
"Can."
"Zhao Tian, let me lend the spiritual spring in your name to Luo Guan for half a month." There were some things that the emperor did not say, but he knew it in his heart.
Zhao Qian's face stiffened and he said hurriedly: "Father, my son's spiritual power spring is currently cultivating elixirs so that on your birthday, it can be refined into elixirs and presented to father to replenish the body. If it is stopped now, I'm afraid it will be a disaster." All previous efforts will be wasted.”
Luo Guan smiled and said, "Second Prince, don't worry. Luo knows a way to temporarily take out the elixir and keep it safe for a period of time. Of course, if the Second Prince is worried about this, I can take you to see him in person. I am good at this." Taoist, that man lives at Yongfeng Street 20..."
"Okay, Gu agreed!" The second prince shouted, gritting his teeth, and trying to force a smile on his face, "Luo Shaoyuan has spoken, what else does Gu not believe...but please still, Master Luo?" The hospital ensures that the spiritual power spring must not be damaged. This is a gift from the emperor, and I only have temporary permission to use it."
Luo Guan nodded and said seriously: "Second prince, don't worry, Luo will definitely cherish it and return it to Zhao intact in at most half a month."
Perhaps because he was really weak, the old emperor said a few more words, with obvious sleepiness on his face. In addition, during the second half of the banquet, the second son was obviously absent-minded, so the scene was inevitably a bit silent.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Luo Guan simply stood up and left.
The old emperor did not persuade him to stay, but ordered someone to give Luo Guan a waist badge, saying that he could enter and leave the imperial palace at any time with this token.
After leaving the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, Luo Guan left under the guidance of the old eunuch.
Looking at his back, Zhao Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I really want to thank you for lending me the spiritual power spring!"
The eldest prince smiled and said, "Second brother, don't hold a grudge. Even if you don't talk about it, do you think Luo Guan won't take the initiative to mention it?" After a pause, "In the final analysis, it's because you were too careless and others got it. , this can’t be blamed on my brother.”
He cupped his hands, turned around and left.
Pleasant eyes!
The second child has always been insidious, and he suffered countless losses during the confrontation between the two.
Today, I finally came back with my revenge!
Zhao Tian's face was livid, and it was hard for him to accept being ridiculed in front of the idiot boss.
But now, it is not the time to get angry. There are too many secrets hidden in the spiritual spring under his name, and they must be sorted out in advance.
And...when he thought of Luo Guan's smile, he felt uncertain, always feeling that something was going to happen!
This guy, after the emperor personally promised that he would return the complete spiritual power spring to Zhao half a month later, he shouldn't dare to cause trouble, right?
