If he didn¡¯t go to the military camp, Luo Yao would stay in the stilt building all day long. Except for the occasional walk around the backyard, he could hardly be seen moving around. It was as if there were some treasures in that building that attracted him, and he still hadn't lost interest after all these years.
In fact, this is just due to his temperament. Anyone who is not familiar with him would find it difficult to imagine that General Luo Yao behaves like a scholar when he is quiet. He often sinks into reading for a long time without moving. Luo Yao also liked to go to the military camp to feel the excitement, and he was very heroic when drinking with his generals. Therefore, even people who are familiar with him have a hard time determining whether the general likes to be quiet or lively.
Mrs. Chu rarely goes to the stilt building. She and Luo Yao live in the same courtyard but seem to live in different worlds. The two are husband and wife, but rarely interact with each other.
After returning from the military camp, Luo Yao saw his wife Chu standing outside the stilt building far away. She looked at Xiaohu in a daze, as if she looked so familiar when he first saw her many years ago. The first time he saw her that year, she was standing by a small lake, looking at her reflection on the water in trance. At that glance, Luo Yao knew that this woman would become his wife.
She comes from a small family with an average family background. So the marriage was decided quickly. After all, Luo Yao was already a new star in the military at that time. Although his position is not high, his salary from the court is enough to satisfy ordinary people.
After marrying Luo Yao, she did everything a wife should do, except that she doted on her son Luo Wu too much.
Because of this, Luo Yao's murder of his son became a wound between them that could never heal.
"How did you come?"
Luo Yao walked to Mrs. Chu and asked softly.
He has always felt guilty about his wife. So over the years, no matter what changes he made or what he did, he never blamed her or even intervened. He knew that Mrs. Chu hated him, so he rarely went to that small courtyard. He knew that the Chu family had done some outrageous things over the years, but he pretended not to know.
"Let me tell you something related to Zi Xu."
Mrs. Chu replied expressionlessly, her eyes still staring at the water.
"go in."
Luo Yaodao.
"Need not"
Mrs. Chu shook her head: "Is Zixu your son?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"He had contact with people from the Buddha Sect a while ago. Did you ask him anything other than beating him up? Over the years, he has been like something you picked up from somewhere else and left in the house. Don't ask."
"You knowit was because I was too doting on Xian Chang"
"I don't want to hear this."
Mrs. Chu turned her head and glanced at Luo Yao, with a cold look in her eyes: "I just want to tell you that if anything happens to Zixu because of your negligence, I will never forgive you again."
"I I'll go see him when I turn around and go into the house, okay?"
Mrs. Chu ignored the pleading in Luo Yao's tone and said in a calm and cold tone: "In addition, the imperial envoy has not been to the house for a while. I want to see him."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements later."
Mrs. Chu nodded, turned and left.
Luo Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at her back, the sadness in his eyes was so strong. He and she were so in love with each other back then, and every separation seemed like a torment. Every time he went on an expedition, she counted the days. Every time he comes back, she clings to him like a child. However, since that day in Chang'an City when he personally killed their first child, she never smiled again. From then on, she closed herself off, and he could no longer enter her heart for more than twenty years.
But Luo Yao loved her so much. Because of Luo Wu's big mistake, Luo Yao killed thirty-two members of his family in one go, including his father, his younger brother, and two daughters born to concubines. Du did not kill her. Before he went to Beijing to plead guilty, he knelt in front of her and cried bitterly. But she was sitting on the chair stupidly, with no life in her eyes.
Thinking of those past events, Luo Yao's heart began to hurt.
When he killed the whole family to forgive Luo Yao, didn't he just want to keep her?
Back in the study, Luo Yao leaned on the chair and was silent for a long time. He didn't know how long it took before he breathed a long sigh of relief and ordered outside: "Go and call Uncle Zhong, and tell him that I have something to ask him."
The soldier outside responded and left quickly.
In the three-story stilt building opposite the small lake, in a study room that was exactly the same as Luo Yao's study room, Luo Wen sat on a chair and stared blankly in front of him.??The red pill on the table. It was given to him by Shi Yuan. He threw the bag containing the elixir into the fire in front of Uncle Zhong, but he had secretly taken out the elixir before.
eat
Still don¡¯t want to eat?
He has been sitting there all morning, lost in thought in front of this pill.
"It's not enough to have a wolf-faced ape"
He murmured, and then a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
"I have to rely on myself. I am not just Luo Yao's son, I am Luo Wen, the only Luo Wen in the world!"
He grabbed the pill and stuffed it into his mouth, tilted his neck and swallowed it.
After a while
A flash of red flashed in his eyes!

The next day was the day of competition with Ye Jinnan, and Fang Jie still behaved very leisurely. He returned to his residence early from Shanzi Camp, as if he had forgotten about the competition the next day. Ever since he took the entire Shanzi Battalion out for training the day before yesterday, he had never led troops for training again.
The soldiers in Shanzi Camp were very nervous, but he was extraordinarily relaxed like no one else.
It¡¯s just that this relaxation is for others to see.
Fang Jie knew that the more nervous he became, the more nervous the soldiers in Shanzi Camp would become. And if he behaves calmly, the soldiers will feel that he has a chance to win. Of course, he didn't have much confidence in tomorrow's competition. After returning to his residence, he had lunch with Mu Xiaoyao, Shen Qingshan and others, and then spent the whole afternoon shopping.
He deliberately changed his clothes and walked down the street with two beautiful beauties. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women always makes people jealous. When women see Shen Qingshan and Mu Xiaoyao, they will curl their lips to express their disdain, but in fact, what they are thinking in their hearts is why they are not that beautiful. The men looked at the two of them with greed in their eyes, while they looked at Fang Jie with hatred in their eyes.
Fang Jie didn¡¯t bother to pay attention at all, but when he saw a cardamom girl or a young woman winking and smiling at him, he would smile back with a bright smile, making those women shy. Nine times out of ten, men wander around the streets to see women. The weather is hot enough, and there is always something to gain from walking on the streets. And when women go shopping, they don¡¯t just go shopping. Who can deny that they don¡¯t go out to see handsome men?
It seemed that he was walking aimlessly on the street, occasionally joking with Shen Qing and slapping Mu's waist. After visiting many shops, I finally walked into the door of Jubaozhai.
When the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai saw Fang Jie, he quickly came over and asked him to sit down in a room specially designed to receive distinguished guests.
"Is the thing ready?"
Fang explained the question.
The shopkeeper nodded: "I made it a few days ago. I wanted to send it to you. I know that you have been busy in the camp recently, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Now everyone in the city knows that, sir, you and General Ye will have a competition tomorrow. I don¡¯t know how many casinos have placed bets and how many people have spent their money.¡±
"oh?"
Fang Jie couldn't help but laugh: "Which one wins more if you press me or General Ye?"
"There are more people who are oppressing General Ye. After all, General Ye is one of the Ten Heroes of Luomen. Everyone in Yongzhou knows General Ye's name, but there are also many people who are oppressing you."
"What are the odds?"
"One to four"
Fang Jie smiled and waved to Chen Xiaoru who was guarding the door. Then he escaped from his arms and handed a stack of silver notes to him and said: "This is three thousand taels of silver. Find several casinos and place bets separately. If you buy, I will win."
"ah?"
Chen Xiaoru was stunned for a moment and looked at Fang Jie in disbelief.
"Go ahead, if you win, it will be a lot of money for the boss. I will give you a little increase in your case fee the day after tomorrow."
"Uhwhat if we lose? Our fees won't be deducted, right?"
Chen Xiaoru couldn't help but ask.
Fang Jie rolled his eyes at him: "If you lose, you will be deducted for thirty years."
Chen Xiaoru smiled coquettishly and went out with the banknote.
The shopkeeper took advantage of this moment to go inside and take out the prepared things. The things were packed in a very delicate sandalwood box, with a lock on the outside. After opening it, the shopkeeper carefully took out the items and handed them to Fang Jie and asked, "Look, does it look similar to the picture you drew?"
Fang Jie took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise: "Perfect."
This is a pair of glasses made after polishing with crystal. The frame is made of the best and hardest wood. It is not heavy. It is also wrapped with a layer of gold wire on the outside, which looks very dazzling. UseIt took a full month to make these glasses, so you can imagine how exquisite their workmanship is.
"The crystals you gave me were enough, so I made two."
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "This is the first time I have seen this thing. I took it and tried it I have been excited for several days. If I don't kill myself, I can't afford it. I really want to keep one for myself."
His eyesight is not very good, no wonder he is so envious.
Fang Jie smiled and said: "I still have two pieces of crystal in my hand. I'll have someone bring them to you later. You can just find a craftsman to make them yourself. But you need to know how bad your eyes are for this thing, so polish it." You have to keep trying it. It's thousands of miles away from the capital, and I don't know if it will be suitable for the person I intend to give it to. If it is useless, it will be a waste of crystals. "
"It works. It works."
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I took it and tried it, and I can see things much more clearly."
Fang Jie laughed loudly, put the glasses on and handed them to the shopkeeper: "Find a safe man and send them to the imperial capital. One will be sent to the palace of Mr. Pei, the minister of Huangmen, and the other will be given to Marquis Sanjin, so that he can present it to His Majesty on his behalf. "
¡°I¡¯ll pick the right guy later.¡±
"Um"
Fang Jie hummed: "Also, there is something I have to tell you. Your eldest lady has come to Yongzhou, and you should know how Sanjinhou will react. So you think of a way to send her back to the imperial capital. . If this matter is not handled well, I guess you, the shopkeeper, will be in trouble."
"this¡¡"
The shopkeeper smiled coquettishly: "Actually, I know"
He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fang Jie: "This is an autographed letter from the Marquis. It was delivered by flying pigeon last night."
Fang Jie was startled. He took the letter, opened it, read it, and then was stunned: "Wu Yiyiit belongs to your uncle!"
The shopkeeper smiled, stood up and saluted: "The Marquis said let us treat you as my uncle from now on"
