Liu Ying looked at the noisy hall and felt a little angry for the first time. On the crucial occasion when I gave Jiuxi to Xiangfu, you are so disrespectful?
He shouted loudly: "Quiet, if anyone makes any noise, they will be dragged out directly."
Seeing that the always good-tempered emperor was actually angry, the ministers slowly fell silent. Liu Ying nodded with some satisfaction, turned to look at Luo Xin, and said with a smile: "My dear father, please accept Jiuxi, this big man in the world is still Please.”
Luo Xin bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty gave me this gift, and I dare not say goodbye. I can only devote myself to you and die for you."
If it were an ordinary minister, of course he would refuse. After all, these powers are too great, and it would easily arouse the emperor's fear, and the end would not be good.
But Luo Xin is not afraid. Even if Liu Ying's relationship with him is not mentioned, purely from the perspective of interests, no one will come to provoke him without the foresight when he is alive. After he dies, he returns the power to the emperor. A normal emperor does not It is necessary to liquidate him. If you really want to liquidate him, then you have to see who has the bigger fist, the emperor or the Luo family.
The city of Chang'an has embarked on a new journey. Liu Ying has become the core of power in the world, and Luo Xin has become more noble than the Queen Mother when she came to court. This makes many people despair. A prime minister who has been in office for more than ten years is so powerful. It's unimaginable.
…
Zhaocheng.
Luo Ling was meditating with his eyes closed. He was the oldest living direct descendant of the Luo family, but he looked the youngest.
Ji Zhao used medicinal talismans to erase most of the side effects. Now it seems that he belongs to the type that inherently lives a long life.
As he grew older, he became more and more fond of Zhuangzi's teachings, the kind of transcendent knowledge, and spent a lot of time studying Taoist classics every day.
On this day, he was still meditating among the burning incense. Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps. Luo Ling slowly opened his eyes and heard some joyful voices outside the door: "Master, this is a letter from Young Master Zhongkan."
Luo Ling opened his eyes instantly and said in a deep voice: "Send it in."
His second brother, Luo Zhongkan.
I went to the Western Regions under his order, but I haven't come back yet. In such a remote place, letters are naturally intermittent. The longest time it took me more than five years to send letters back. It can even be said that it is incredible to be able to send letters back. Got it.
Luo Ling opened the letter and saw densely packed small characters written on it. The beginning was still: "Well done, brother. I am glad to hear this letter. It has been twelve years since I came to the Western Region. I have passed through several kingdoms and am heading to the westernmost kingdom. , the kingdoms here are large and small, some even have less than ten thousand people.
The following is what I saw and heard during these days, as well as my opinions on how to deal with it after the arrival of the heavenly army.
In recent years, everyone's homesickness has become more and more profound. This is something that needs to be paid attention to. Please pay more attention to it, brother. It may take as little as three years or as many as five years to return.
After twenty years apart, I miss you and all your brothers very much. "
…
Western Region.
A city made of accumulated earth. Luo Zhongkan and his party came from the Central Plains to stay here. Now the team is much larger than before. Over the past ten years, some people from the Central Plains have died. At the same time Some local people also joined in, even children.
After all, it is impossible to make a group of strong men abstain from sex for more than ten years. It is an inhumane thing.
It was another cool night, in the vast and empty land of the Western Regions. Luo Zhongkan looked at the bright moon, feeling homesick again in his heart.
Not only him, but also other people from the Central Plains. The longer they leave their hometown, the more they miss them. It is difficult to do this work.
Someone lamented: "My lord, when I was in Zhuxia territory, I still felt that Luo Village and Zhaocheng were far apart. It took more than a month to travel by car and boat.
But when I arrived in this place in the Western Region, I realized that both Luocun and Zhaocheng were thousands of miles away, and it would take a year and a half to reach them.
Now let alone returning to Zhaocheng and Luocun, even if I step into Longxi, I feel like I am home. "
yes.
As long as you see the people of Zhuxia, hear the sounds of Zhuxia, and see the tall buildings, you will feel like you are home.
Luo Zhongkan was thinking the same thing in his heart, but he said comfortingly: "Brothers, look at the full moon in the sky. King Su said that there is only one full moon in the sky.
So although we are thousands of miles apart from our hometown, what we see now is the same moon as our clansmen. One day, we will return to our homeland. "
Everyone should be like this. Luo Zhongkan looked at the people who were sleeping one after another, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he just set off from the Central Plains.
…
Fifteen years ago, west of Chang'an.
A convoy of several hundred people was marching slowly. It was the team led by Luo Zhongkan, the second eldest son of the Luo family, who was heading to the Western Region to investigate the truth.
There are three hundred people in the entire team, one hundred of whom are brave warriors. They are carefully selected. It is not just a matter of force. The most important thing is that they cannot have too many worries and can leave their homeland for a long time, because going to the Western Regions, Even Luo Ling and Luo Zhongkan didn't know how long it would take.
Then there are all kinds of people in the Luo family, including astronomy, geography, and numerology doctors, including powerful organizations like Luo Mo.
Luo Zhongkan is really a homebody, and even Luo Cun doesn't want to take a step because it is too boring.
But after Luo Ling received a letter, he immediately stepped out of Luo Village in high spirits and explored the unknown world. This was really interesting.
As the convoy completely left the territory of Dahan, the convoy was filled with emotions of excitement and fear.
The Luo Mo disciple who was in charge of manufacturing and repairing the fleet came over and asked, "Big Master, are we going to the legendary West Kunlun?"
Among the teams heading west this time, the number of Luo Mo disciples was second only to the dare warriors, with more than fifty people. These were responsible for repairing vehicles and organizing various equipment. Force is as important as the doctor in the team. The performance of the Mohist disciples is crucial to whether they can successfully reach the Western Regions.
Luo Zhongkan smiled and said: "Yes, the legendary West Kunlun is still dark there. King Su has paid attention to it, so we need to go and explore it."
No one knows what they will encounter, but these people are die-hard members of the Luo family and belong to the group of people who have the deepest faith in Ji Zhao. As long as it is ordered by the head of the Luo family, they will die without regrets.
In other words, these people can follow Luo Ling, Luo Zhongkan and others into the Hall of Heroes after death.
Although there are only statues of special historical figures like Luo Shi and Xi Shi in the Hall of Heroes now, many years ago, after a direct descendant of a generation died in battle, the portraits of his clansmen and Luo people who died in battle appeared in the Hall of Valor. on the base of his statue.
When they were alive, they followed their master to death, so when the master entered the Hall of Valor, they would also enter.
When the Luo family opens its eyes and comes to the world again, these people will wake up. Of course, no one knows about this, not even the direct descendants of the Luo family. They just rely on their worship of Ji Zhao and Fight with faith.
In fact, even many direct descendants of the Luo family are not sure whether they can serve King Su. This is why Ji Zhao appeared in person many times and told the Luo family, "Don't be afraid of death, I stand at the end of death." "
Luo Zhongkan followed the map throughout the whole journey. Even in the Zhuxia territory, if he didn't follow the map or climbed mountains randomly, something might happen. After all, this was still in a barbaric era, which was completely different from that of later generations.
In addition to the Zhuxia territory, let alone Hexi, there are large areas of uninhabited land. If they don't follow the points marked on the map, most of the three hundred people will be reduced before they reach the Western Region.
In real history, it was extremely difficult to open up the Western Regions, especially in the early days when the Western Regions were completely ignored. Countless Han family members shed blood and died due to various natural disasters, lack of water, and lack of food.
What Ji Zhao remembers most clearly is that even though the Han Dynasty already knew the Western Regions very well, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's expedition to Dayuan still suffered heavy losses. This shows how difficult it is to travel from the Central Plains to the Western Regions.
Luo Zhongkan only felt that the scenery along the way was very different from that in the Central Plains.
Especially when he came out of Luo Village. Luo Village is in the south of the sky, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there is no such vast tract of wilderness at all.
Luo Zhongkan said excitedly: "According to legend, our Zhou clan came out of here and then went to the Central Plains to establish the Zhou Dynasty."
Zhou clan.
This is already a term that few people mention. Just like a businessman, it has changed from the name of an ethnic group to a profession. However, it is impossible for the Luo family to forget that this is their root, just like the Luo family. It caters to some people's habit of combining surnames, but I still remember that they are Ji's surname Luo and they were born in Ji Zhou.
Fortunately, it was relatively peaceful just after leaving the Zhuxia territory. After all, the Xiongnu had just been severely dealt a blow and were now licking their wounds.
The biggest problem that Luo Zhongkan and the others encountered was that they were not acclimated to the climate. They still brought food and grass, but they had to drink local water. Fortunately, Luo still knew how to drink boiled water, otherwise a large piece of it would definitely fall down.
Even so, many people still started to get sick, and it was okay for the brave warriors. Even though those scholars had exercised, their physical fitness was still not enough, and their traveling speed was suddenly slowed down. Fortunately, there were enough doctors accompanying them, and they spent half the time in consultation. Months later, the group hit the road again.
Because the whole journey was by horse carriage and horseback, there was no walking, so once you regain your health, you can travel relatively quickly.
However, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the brave warriors, Luo Zhongkan still maintained a relatively balanced marching speed.
Then soon his caution was rewarded. Six hundred miles away from the exit pass, he encountered a group of horse thieves, perhaps from the surrounding tribes, entrenched here.
Luo Zhongkan and his convoy were very unfamiliar when they saw it, so they wanted to rob them.
Luo Zhongkan twisted his neck slightly, showed a cold smile, and said loudly: "Men, prepare your knives!"
Guys, please vote.
