In just two days, Luo Dong's name spread throughout the capital, and everyone who didn't know the name originally knew it.
There is news that the Qingyuan cavalry no longer dare to come, and they will return to Qingyuan country immediately after they have suffered heavy losses.
Not to mention whether this kind of news is accurate, but it is an indisputable fact that the 500 cavalry led by 'Luo Dong' annihilated more than 5,000 Qingyuan cavalry in ten days. Even ordinary people in the market think: This General Luo can kill five thousand enemy troops in ten days, so he can kill them all in one month, right? Anyway, as long as he is here, we can all sleep peacefully.
Not to mention what the court will decide, the people's voices are all: give General Luo a promotion, a big promotion. How can the five hundred cavalry be enough now? He should be allowed to lead at least five thousand cavalry. How dare the Qingyuan boy dare to invade? Our Jin Dynasty
Many people organized themselves spontaneously, pushing food and drinks on flatbed carts, driving pigs and sheep, carrying chickens and ducks, and walked out of the city to the Luo family's camp, where they had to reward them well.
Although his soldiers were all recuperating from their injuries, Luo Chong still announced: Accept the things sent by the people as they should, and don't dampen their enthusiasm. But don't think that this is what you should do. You must express your gratitude when receiving things. people.
Of the five hundred soldiers, almost everyone was injured, even the strongest Ma Hanzi and Yue Hu. This is the horror of horse fighting. Even master warriors cannot withstand the consequences of high-speed horse racing against each other. of those injuries.
But being injured again and again is the best baptism for them. As long as they are not missing arms or legs, they can grow into the strongest warriors in the world in the shortest time.
In the past two days, Luo Chong stayed in the camp and didn't go anywhere. However, even Ma Hanzi was guessing: "General, should the emperor summon you early tomorrow morning?"
"I don't want to see him."
Luo Chong replied: "As long as we appoint the official positions we deserve, it is best not to see him if we can."
Ma Hanzi can tell that our general has no respect for His Majesty the Emperor. He probably doesn¡¯t want to kowtow to anyone.
It is obvious that our general is definitely not a loyal minister. It is very likely that he will never be loyal to anyone in this life.
But it doesn¡¯t matter, we just need to follow him steadily. We will only be loyal to him in this life, and we will die for him!
Sure enough, on the morning of the third day, the eunuch from last time came again. He did not bring an imperial edict, but only a verbal message: General Luo, Your Majesty has summoned him.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? go having a chat with him. Luo Chong knew that this was inevitable unless he didn't want to continue playing in the capital.
The Imperial Palace, the Royal Study.
Emperor Jingyu did not summon Luo Chong in the court hall, but in his imperial study room. At this time, he had just finished his morning court.
It is estimated that the next time you are summoned in the court, it will be the time to reward you in public and formally appoint you.
Luo Chong waited in the courtyard outside the imperial study for almost a quarter of an hour before he was called in. Generally speaking, the waiting time was not long, so he didn't bother to care.
There are more than a dozen martial arts masters hidden inside and outside the royal study room. The strongest one is already at the grandmaster level, but they are all eunuchs in the palace, and their internal strength is extremely feminine.
These eunuchs have all grown up in the palace. They have been brainwashed every night and have basically no understanding of the outside world. Even though they have the powerful cultivation of martial arts masters, they are super simple in thinking and have no ability to restrain a chicken. The powerful royal members can also control them firmly in the palm of their hands.
To put it bluntly, it is as loyal as a domestic dog raised since childhood, and it is deeply rooted in the bones. There is no reason to explain it.
After entering the house, Luo Chong must have spread an illusion spell. Everyone inside and outside the house, including the emperor himself, thought he was giving a respectful salute. When Emperor Jingyu said the words "without ceremony", Luo Chong Then he took back the illusion and everything returned to normal, which did not affect Emperor Jingyu's normal thinking.
Emperor Jingyu is nearly forty years old, but he is well-maintained and looks to be in his early thirties. He has good facial features and a dignified appearance. Just looking at his appearance, it is really hard to imagine that his character could be so bad that he caused the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty to become alienated from each other.
"Luo Dong, Luo Aiqing, you are indeed quite young!"
Jingyu looked at Luo Chong with admiration and joy, although most of it was just pretending.
¡°His Majesty is also very young, much younger than I thought, and he is still a handsome guy.¡±
When Luo Chong replied, a eunuch brought a round stool. The Jin Dynasty was quite good in this aspect. When an innocent official communicated with the emperor in private, no matter how big or small his official position was, he would be given a seat.
"Handsome guy?"
Jingyu was stunned. It was obviously the first time he heard such a compliment. In this world, the word "handsome" only means marshal, commander-in-chief. However, hearing Luo Chong say this, Jingyu felt that , this statement has a different meaning.
However, despite being praised, Emperor Jingyu was not very happy, because Luo Chong's attitude when speaking was too calm and calm, and there was no fear, nervousness, excitement or fear that a minister should have when he saw the emperor for the first time. Excitednot at all!
It shows that he is not afraid of himself at all, and has no fear of imperial power, even to the point of being too lazy to hide it.
If he is a scholar, he can be described as a crazy student. Jingyu doesn't take it to heart. There are too many scholars in the world who want to become famous by scolding the emperor, but they can't make any waves with just one mouth. There is no need to follow. They are more serious, but this Luo Dong is not a Confucian scholar with no power, but a general who leads troops in war, which is very different in nature
Jingyu couldn't help but think of the first time he summoned Mu Hanshan. Mu Hanshan looked trembling in front of him and showed enough awe. Comparing the two, does that mean that Luo Dong is more ambitious than Mu Hanshan?
However, Jingyu thought about it again and remembered that when he met the great master Su Wancheng, her attitude towards him was even colder than Luo Dong's, as if she was the one who was superior.
Luo Dong is also a master of martial arts. At the very least, he bowed respectfully to himself. There was nothing wrong with the etiquette.
"Don't forget, he is still a martial arts master"
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingyu felt much better psychologically. Speaking of it, this was the first time that he was paid homage by a martial master. It was Luo Dong who satisfied himself.
These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Jingyu's smile lost its reluctance. His eyes showed a bit of kindness when he looked over, and he said: "Luo Dong, I heard that you easily defeated Lianshan Mountain on Xifeng Lake not long ago. , is this really happening?¡±
"It's true."
Luo Chong calmly replied: "Wei Chen doesn't like to deal with those people in the world. If you do something to them, you won't be polite at all."
"oh?"
Jing Yu¡¯s face was full of curiosity, which was actually a test: ¡°As a martial arts master, you actually look down on those people in the world?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not that I look down on them, I can only say that they have different paths, they don¡¯t work together, and they are not from the same group at all.¡±
Luo Chong replied: "Besides, Wei Chen is not a master of martial arts. He is most proficient in the art of killing enemies on the battlefield, which is quite different from fighting in the martial arts."
"Um."
Jingyu nodded and did not directly comment, but said: "As far as I know, the martial arts masters in the world are full of pride, have extremely high self-esteem, and cannot stand the constraints of the world at all. For them, entering the court Being an official is far inferior to being able to travel freely across the world. How could you be willing to be a low-level sergeant and climb up the officialdom since the Battle of Hongyu? "
"Your Majesty, I can only say that people have different pursuits."
Luo Chong replied half-truthfully: "My pursuit is quite simple, which is to fully enjoy life, start from the bottom, go up step by step, and carefully experience the process."
"Go up step by step?"
Jingyu asked with a smile: "Then how high do you plan to go to be satisfied?"
He felt a little nervous when he asked this. Luo Dong was too special. He had the identity and background of a martial arts master compared to a character like Mu Hanshan. If the conversation accidentally broke down, it would be difficult to end it.
"Wei Chen understands His Majesty's worries."
Luo Chong looked directly into Jing Yu's eyes and replied sternly without a trace of lies: "In short, I have no interest in competing in the world. Perhaps, being a general reaches the most extreme level. Once it reaches the top, there will be no more." There is no way to improve, until then, I will be able to live freely in the world as a warrior master."
"Oh? Why do you think so?"
Jingyu did not realize that he had invisibly stepped into Luo Chong's rhythm in terms of his speech style and psychological reactions, rather than the rhythm of an emperor controlling everything.
In fact, Luo Chong did not use any kind of mind-deceiving technique, simply because the difference in life forms between the two was so great that his magnetic field and aura could not suppress him at all, and instead would obey him unknowingly. .
¡°It¡¯s not easy to be an emperor!¡±
Luo Chong's answer was: "We have to face so many troubles every day. There is a drought in this province, and there is a flood in that province. The ministers all complain and beg everywhere.They are asking you for money all the time No matter how annoyed you are, you still have to be patient and accommodate them. You can't scold or hit them The most terrifying thing is that most of the time in life, you can only Trapped in the palace, the world is so big, I can't even walk around and look around In short, being an emperor imposes more restrictions than anyone else, and I absolutely can't stand this kind of life. "
After these words were spoken, the expression on Emperor Jingyu¡¯s face was quite wonderful, and almost everything was said in his heart.
That's right, every morning in the morning, you have to face the complaints, pleadings, and requests for money from the ministers, and even the embarrassing situation of being criticized by the ministers. If you want to spend some money to build a garden, or go out of the palace to tour the world, you will be criticized. They were persuaded by various powerful reasons.
Being an emperor is really that good. Apart from the so-called supreme power, what else is there?
Sometimes, Jingyu also feels that he is just a prisoner, trapped in the palace, the highest-level prisoner in the world.
Sometimes, he would also dream: If I had the powerful force of a grandmaster, I could travel across the world, despise the world, and be free from any constraints or troubles. Wouldn't such a life be more exciting and more exciting than being an emperor? happy?
