On the bank of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, turbulent waves hit the shore, and both sides were covered with mottled old traces. Luo Xin stood on the boat with his hands behind his hands, looking at this ancient battlefield where countless wars had taken place. Many legends of the Luo family's ancestors were left here.
"In the past, during King Su's eastern expedition, this was the territory of the barbarians, and the nobles of the Yin and Shang dynasties were also hiding here. King Su wanted to completely annihilate the nobles of the Yin and Shang who were unwilling to obey, so he attacked here and killed countless foreigners. But there were too many barbarians here, and the killings were so heavy that the heavens cried blood for them. The rivers were cut off and fish and shrimps ate each other. King Su finally felt compassion and returned to the Central Plains.
It was not until more than two hundred years later that the ancestor Xuan Gong ordered the princes of the world to annihilate the Xu State and Huaiyi. Finally, this land completely became the kingdom of the Xia. The princes of Sishang were all established after Xuan Gong. For hundreds of years, only Qi Only a big country like China can attack and unify. Now the world is in chaos. The heroes on this land have risen together and each is in charge. It is chaos again. "
Luo Xin told everyone about the history of Zhu Xia and Luo clan. Everyone was a little shocked when they heard it. If Luo Xin didn't talk about these things, many people would not know about them. It is very difficult for ordinary people to just live, and they would have no chance to come into contact with them. History books, even if many nobles may have a few family traditions in their families, there is no such thing as history books.
"Sir, get off the boat from the front, and then walk thirty miles further to Pei County, the largest county in the surrounding area. After leaving Huaisi, you can reach the old land of Qi State. If you go northwest, you will reach Zhaocheng, where the previous head of the family was. , but he should be gone now, it is said that the situation in Zhao country was critical some time ago, and the head of the family arrived there."
Luo Xin was not worried about the critical situation in Zhao State. He believed that his eldest brother could handle all the problems. He was more concerned about Pei County. This seemed to be the birthplace of the third brother and the Pei Gong whom A Cai followed, so he came to some places. Interested, he chuckled and said: "Pei County? Just go there. Although he is not here, people at home can tell who he is."
Luo Xin never thought about any interaction between himself and the Pei Guild. After all, it was enough for a Luo family member to be by his side, but since he had already arrived at his hometown along the way, there was nothing wrong with going to see him.
Luo Cai was very worried about Luo Yi, and Luo Xin was actually not at ease. Didn't Luo Ling, the top strategist, also express his worries when Luo Yi left Zhaocheng?
…
Pei County.
The county is still peaceful, and the world's war has not burned here. Especially when Liu Bang was out of abundance, he basically took away all the rangers here, and the security here is much better than before.
Lu Fei stayed here to take care of her children alone. Even if she didn't talk about her past status, based on the current Lu family's property, she could be regarded as the daughter of a wealthy family. However, after marrying Liu Bang, she would even work in the fields herself. As long as she saw her Everyone praised her for being virtuous and capable. Liu Bang married Lu Fei, and even all his brothers were envious of her.
What a heroic beauty. This was Luo Xin's first thought when she saw Lu Zhi. There was a bit of resoluteness between her eyebrows. She must be a woman with a strong character.
Then when she saw the girl next to her, even though she was born in the Luo family and was used to seeing beautiful people, Luo Xin still praised her: "Autumn clouds and moonlight, spring breeze and famous flowers are really rare in the world."
Lu Fei looked at the group of people who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise. After Liu Bang left Peixian County, she stayed peacefully in the countryside, quietly waiting for news about Liu Bang, life or death. She had actually prepared for Liu Bang to die in battle. Outside, the villagers were preparing to come back with news, but such a strange person in this line of work was beyond her expectation.
Luo Xin knew that she was a woman from the Lu family in front of her, so she didn't show off. She took off her bamboo hat, revealing the sacred mark, and said warmly: "Madam, I am from the Luo family. I am named Xin."
Lu Pheasant's eyes, originally full of surprise, lit up almost instantly, and her eyes were filled with surprise. People from the Lu family almost have a natural affinity for the Luo family, especially those who are closer to the official, the more favorable the impression. The deeper you go, this is really normal. No matter who you are, if you have a relative who has never tricked you in a thousand years, wouldn't you trust him?
Although the Lu Pheasant branch is not as prominent as the King of Qi and the King of Jiaodong, it is precisely because of the closeness of blood and official family that it has suffered successive blows. Now I see the stigmata between Luo Xin's eyebrows, and hear Luo Xin's gentle words and With her elegant and soft face, Lu Fei's favorability instantly exploded. In fact, Luo Yi also had a very good relationship with Lu Ze in Liu Bang's camp. Time is a great force that can make many things become what they should be, just as Luo and Lu, this is almost a natural closeness.
A person with such a strong character like Lu Fei said with a trembling warmth: "Master, I am from the Lu family of Jiang, a branch of the Duke of Qi. This is my little girl, whose single name is Le."
Hearing that Lu Zhi announced his family name directly as expected, Luo Xin had an impeccable smile on his face. He knelt down and gently stroked Liu Le's head. He smiled at Lu Zhi and said, "The new third brother is in Peigong." My subordinate, Xin was about to go to Qidi, and happened to pass by here, so he came to take a look for the third brother. This is the daughter of Pei Gong and yours. It is really precious to see her face. I must be rich because of Pei Gong and you."
Luo Xin almost involuntarily activated the Luo family's ancestral ability - giving chicken soup to people. It doesn't cost money to praise people anyway, so just praise them a little, especially when facing relatives. Praising them more can always avoid a lot of trouble.
The light in Lu Zhi's eyes became brighter when he heard this. Although Luo Xin said a few words casually, there was a lot of information exposed in them. Although Liu Bang and the brothers from Peixian County had been delivering letters home, in such troubled times, Among them, especially princes like Liu Bang, of course, it is impossible to say everything, always say it, and usually only send a letter home once after a while.
Luo Xin got all the latest news. What he meant was that Liu Bang was doing very well now and even had a Luo son under his command. This was completely beyond Lu Pheasant's expectation. Liu Ji had really become a party. The princes, to be in the current situation, it was really not in vain that she and Liu Ji made up those rumors about the emperor's anger.
Luo Xin took out a piece of fine jade from his arms and put it into Liu Le's little hand, and said with a smile: "Little girl, this is the first time I see you. This piece of jade is given to you. Keep it with you to warm your body."
Liu Le was usually a bit shy, but perhaps seeing Luo Xin's good looks made him braver. He stretched out his hand to take the piece of jade and said in a soft voice, "Thank you, brother."
Luo Xinyan laughed twice, and Lu Zhi laughed and said: "Master, please come with me. If we entertain such an important guest in the fields, this is not what relatives should do."
So Luo Xin put on the bamboo hat again, and everyone went to Lu Pheasant's home. Lu Taigong came in a hurry after hearing the news. When he arrived at the house, Lu Pheasant introduced Liu Ying to Luo Xin. Liu Ying was really young, but she was still a real person. The child said, "Master, this is my heir."
Luo Xin touched the jade from his arms again, and at the same time praised directly, "They are indeed siblings. Their looks are equally precious. This is a pair of jade, just a gift to you."
Liu Ying muttered a few words and fell asleep again. Lu Taigong, Lu Pheasant and Luo Xin were chatting. Mainly Luo Xin was talking, while Lu Taigong and Lu Pheasant were listening. "Pei Gong is on the bank of the river. After meeting the new third brother Yi, the two went to Zhaocheng to participate in the alliance of princes. Then Princess Pei moved to the west, and the third brother also followed him.
Madam, Pei Gong has become famous among the heroes of Shandong. He is no longer an unknown person in the past. When Qin is destroyed, he will definitely be powerful in the world. You may be as noble as Zhou Zhou. "
When Lu Taigong was as noble as Bang Zhou, Lu Fei didn't react at all, because she was relatively young and had not actually experienced those noble years. However, Lu Taigong was old and had experienced those glorious years. After hearing this, he actually Some will shed tears.
Among the branches of the Lu family that still exist, their family's status is not high. After all, the main line of Qi has died, so what if the remaining ones are close to the official family?
Are you still counting on relying on your bloodline to make other clan members obey orders? That's really ridiculous.
Now all they can rely on is the amount of gold, silver, pearls, and jade, the amount of land and population they can control, and their prestige and ability in front of the world. It is only in these three aspects that the King of Qi and the King of Jiaodong have the advantage to become the restored state of Qi. As a representative, Lu Taigong’s family obviously does not have this qualification.
But now that Liu Bang has become a prince as much as the King of Qi and the King of Jiaodong, as the initial investor, once Liu Bang succeeds, the status of the Lu family will naturally rise. This makes Lu Taigong, who has always been a bit grudge, how can Not satisfied?
Lu Taigong said with emotion: "My lord, I have heard countless stories in my life from my youth to the present, but I have never seen anyone who succeeded without the support of the Luo family. It is as powerful as the violent Qin Dynasty, which has conquered the world in just ten years." To the point where they are all against each other, my ancestors and your ancestors supported each other to achieve their nobility for thousands of years. In the end, Luo State was destroyed, and then Qi State was also destroyed.
The Jiang surnamed Lu is a descendant of the ancient holy king, and he still needs the support of the Luo family. Liu Ji's ancestor may have been a noble, but now he can't even tell where he came from. He is just an ordinary Guizhou leader. Now he suddenly It is normal to be prominent. Even in the era of the nobles of the state and Zhou Dynasty, there were talents who were dressed in white in the morning and prime ministers in the evening. But if we want to achieve long-term success, can we lack the support of the Luo family? "
These words were really appropriate. Luo Xin looked at Taigong Lu with admiration, and even got a little understanding of Liu Bang from this. If Taigong Lu could marry a girl without caring about such a big age gap, he must be really extraordinary. .

During the reign of Emperor Gaozu, Empress Lu often lived in the fields. Dong'a came by and asked for a drink. Empress Lu responded. Dong'a met Empress Lu and said, "Madam, you are beyond words!"
Empress Lu invited Prime Minister Lu Yuan, and Dong'a said, "It's also expensive!"
As for the noble ancestors, Empress Lu said that all noble people ascended the threshold of Dong'a. ——"Historical Records·The Chronicles of Empress Dowager Lu"
