It’s a rainy night in the prefect’s palace.
Luo Chuan stood under the eaves outside the water-fronted palace door, watching the raindrops falling on the lake, creating layers of ripples. For a long time, he remained motionless in trance.
Siqi came from the hall and gently put a cloak on him. "It's too humid by the lake. It's better to go back to the house."
Luo Chuan shook his head, but saw a figure in the garden who looked like an old farmer in a raincoat trotting towards him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle Jiang's appearance reminds me of that time when I was still in Zhongjing City, you were in the rain." There was a fuss about eating steamed buns at night, so he had no choice but to put on his raincoat and run out. Thinking about it now, I don’t know how he knocked on the shop door and bought the steamed buns back, which were still warm when he ate them.”
Siqi also seemed to be remembering something, and smiled gently, "It's not like you woke up in the middle of the night and secretly told me that you were hungry. I was young and had no choice but to torment Uncle Jiang..."
Luochuan was startled, "I see, I forgot..." He turned back to a middle-aged palace waiter who was waiting in the corner of the hall and had two circles of golden cloud patterns embroidered on his collar and cuffs, "Old Dong, do you think it would be too troublesome to ask the kitchen to make some steamed buns at this time?"
The middle-aged palace waiter actually looked not old at all, with a fair face and a leisurely temperament. If it weren't for the palace waiter's clothes, he would have made people think he was a Confucian scholar. When Luo Chuan asked, he bent down and saluted, "This If there is any trouble, it is their blessing that the Lord needs them, so the old slave will tell the kitchen to do it."
After finishing speaking, he didn't stop. He took a step forward and was already outside the hall. He was actually a master with considerable strength.
Siqi glanced at it, then leaned into Luo Chuan's ear and said, "Let Lao Gao come back as soon as he gets better. Every time I see this Chairman Dong, I am afraid from the bottom of my heart..."
"Did you secretly do something bad in your small courtyard and was discovered by this Mr. Dong?" Luo Chuan made a joke. Seeing Siqi's cold face, he just smiled lightly and said, "This Mr. Dong is the one who is here." One of the three people I can trust absolutely in the prefect’s palace. Although he is indeed a ruthless person who has killed many people, but..."
He didn't say any more, just turned around and looked at Luo Jiang, who was standing outside the main hall door taking off his raincoat, and asked, "It's raining so hard, why did you come back to the palace again?"
Luo Jiang shook the water off his coir raincoat and handed it to the waiting young waiter. He patted the wet stains on his court clothes and said, "Zhao Wuji told me that he wanted to come to the palace to have a look, so I'll come and see him." look."
Luo Chuanfu went to look at the lake again. When Luo Jiang came to him and looked at the lake with his eyes, he continued, "Do you still think that I am a child who has to find someone to cry to when something goes wrong?"
Luo Jiang smiled and said, "That's not the case. I just feel that since you are full of passion and want to do big things, but now you have to compromise with such a person, it will be a little hard to be upset. But in fact, things always go against your wishes in life. Xiao Traveling is difficult and muddy for the people, let alone the governor of a county who wants to provide a glimmer of hope for hundreds of millions of people? Just think about it and you will know that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky."
He reached out and patted Luo Chuan on the shoulder, "It is extremely rare for a good governor to be so determined. Now, despite the obstacles, you can still guard the people of a county, and you are worthy of heaven and earth."
Luo Chuan shook his head slightly and just looked at the lake, "I am indeed a little unhappy to join the Yashui Alliance like this, but since you are a prefect, you should take the overall situation into consideration, but if you want to say that there is no chance of survival, then It’s not a roadblock, it’s just that my original thinking was too simple.”
"At that time, when I first took over the power, he put the entire power of Li County in front of me. The power was beyond my imagination. I just felt that if this was the case, Yongchang would be safe. Regardless of the mausoleum, they are all just fish and meat on a plate for me to manipulate, and then there are Guangjun, Hanoi and even Anyang County. As long as I do it quickly and decisively, Nanyi will have to bow his head temporarily." Luo Chuan's smile was a little bitter, "But the ups and downs of the Northern Expedition have already made me understand that things are not as simple as I thought. During the Southern Expedition, I almost lost my life in Liufeng Mountain. It has only been half a year since I took the throne today. You have to rely on good luck to tide over the difficulties..."
Luo Chuan stretched out his hand outside the eaves, feeling the raindrops falling on his palm, and then flowing to the ground along the palm lines, "Good luck will always run out..."
Luo Jiang looked back calmly and nodded.
Luo Chuan withdrew his hand and wiped it casually on the noble robe of the prefect, "When I came back this time, I had actually decided to fight steadily and step by step. Guang County must be fought. Even now I still think so, it can be fought. We cannot fight until both sides suffer, we need to wait for an opportunity, or create an opportunity, an opportunity where the balance of victory is completely tilted towards me..."
"As for me, I'm actually in a hurry, because this trip to southern Xinjiang has brought me too much pressure, even more than that tripod." Luo Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light suddenly appeared in them, and then disappeared without a trace. He saw He still looks like the young prefect who always smiles and is approachable, "But in fact, I know very well that if you don't rush, Guang County will not become fragile and full of loopholes just because you are anxious. Even Yongchang County today will not be so trapped." And waiting to die, I need a chance, and they also need a chance, so when this day is really going to change, when Northwest Wuzhou is the first to couldn't help but jump out and strike the first blow at the old rules like broken window paper. When the sword came out, Guangjun Master Yun Bailou struck first."
"That's when I realized," he said with a sneer, "It turns out that I was anxious, but Yun Bailou seemed to be even more anxious than me!!"
Luo Jiang couldn't keep up with his thoughts, and could only frown slightly and listen quietly, while Siqi turned around and asked all the palace attendants in the palace to leave, and closed the palace door.
Luo Chuan seemed to be chatting, and murmured with a smile, "In order to prevent me from going crazy this autumn, he actually moved the battlefield to the mountains. In this way, it would really be easy for the defeat to be tilted towards the victor that day. ,but......"
Luo Jiang couldn't help but ask after hearing this, "Although the sects on the mountain are nominally under the jurisdiction of the prefectures of each county, because most of them do not interfere with secular affairs, they have always been uncontrolled. This has been the case for nine hundred years." Zai, now...are we going to force the sects on the mountain to join in this battle between the princes and choose a tree to live in?!" After thinking about it for a while, he was still a little unbelievable, "Even Bai Xianji Tianyan can't force the sects of the world. Just give in...!"
"Submit?" Luo Chuan shook his head and said, "There is no need to submit. Now that the world is in chaos, do you think that every sect on the mountain in this world can be aloof? Except for the Wangchuan Sword Sect who took the initiative to go down the mountain and join the situation, the Youxian Sect No, not the Cangyan Sword Sect, and now it seems that even a transcendent sect like Kunlun can’t do it. Of course, or maybe they don’t want to, but regardless of whether they can’t or don’t want to, Kunlun’s actions are enough to make all the sects, big and small, in the world. The leaders of the sect have other thoughts and do not enter the situation with the greatest autonomy and the best way at the earliest. When the world situation is clear, I am afraid they will no longer have the opportunity to choose..."
"But... with the strength of Kunlun and Bai Xianji Tianyan, once they enter the mortal world, no eunuch can control them..." Luo Jiang's mind was already in chaos.
Luo Chuan sneered, "Those who can be managed will be managed, and those who cannot be managed will be managed. In the last three hundred years of the Ding Dynasty, in the final analysis, it is not the Li family that can control the heart of a Lu Zu..." ...Just?!!"
