Due to the lack of confidentiality, the news of Princess Yongning's visit to Guangling did not spread. The townspeople did not know that the masked woman who had been wandering around the town accompanied by Luo Xiuer in the past two days was actually from the Jin Dynasty. Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Yongning was still a little curious about this military guardhouse. The key was that she couldn't imagine how such a small town could raise such a monster like Luo Dong, so she asked Luo Xiuer to take her around the streets and alleys. She wanted to visit every place with Luo Dong's footprints.
Luo Xiuer didn't hide anything. Everywhere she went, she told the stories of Luo Dong's childhood in great detail. Even though she was not good at words, as long as she told the stories related to Luo Dong, she was still quite vivid. .
After two days, through a series of unremarkable so-called stories, Yongning still couldn't connect the Luo Dong of the past with the Luo Dong of the present. It felt like they were not the same person at all.
"Yes, he has changed a lot."
Luo Xiuer could understand her thoughts and said the same: "A year ago, when he came back from the battlefield, I also felt that he was not the same Luo Dong as before."
"You're talking about the Battle of Hongyu?" Yongning asked.
Luo Xiuer nodded: "But I don't know what happened in that war. He didn't tell me, and I didn't dare to ask more."
"I do know a little bit."
Before that, Yongning had collected some information very carefully, and now he said: "Someone swore that they once witnessed him die on the battlefield, but then he was miraculously resurrected. Not only did he not have any He was scarred and became extremely brave. He himself said that he was possessed by some kind of war god But these are just rumors that are difficult to verify, and I don¡¯t know whether they are true or false.¡±
Luo Xiuer calmly replied: "It doesn't matter whether he is true or false, but he is indeed Luo Dong. We grew up together, and many characteristics cannot be changed."
Luo Xiuer didn't have the nerve to say it explicitly. She could tell when she gave him a bath and rubbed his back that the features he had when he was a child were still there, but they were just a few sizes bigger.
"I was just curious, but I didn't question anything."
Yongning smiled, and then said to her with a slightly complicated look and tone: "Sister Luo Xiuer, thank you for staying with me these two days and telling me so many things."
"Your Highness is too polite."
Luo Xiuer replied softly: "Whether you are a guest at home or his friend, this is what I should do."
"But¡¡"
Yongning hesitated for a moment, but still asked tentatively: "Sister, do you feel a little uncomfortable about my appearance?"
"Your Highness must want to hear my truth when you ask this question"
Luo Xiuer lowered her head slightly and replied truthfully: "It's not that I feel uncomfortable, but that I'm a little scared. I know that I am not worthy of him, and I am becoming less and less worthy of him. Sooner or later, there will be such a high-ranking person as His Highness next to him. The girl is a thousand times better than mebut I still can't let him go, and I don't know how I can live my life without him. "
"If you are just afraid, there is no need for my sister to worry so much."
Yongning felt light in his heart and said softly: "I don't think he is a man without a sense of responsibility. No matter what, it is impossible for him to abandon you."
There is no need to say the following words. It is obviously a hint: If there is a certain result between him and me, I can accept you.
Although Yongning is a latecomer, after all, her noble status as a princess is there. In comparison, Luo Xiuer is just a child bride who was sold to the Luo family since she was a child, and is equivalent to half a servant.
From the perspective of status, Yongning is indeed qualified to say this. After all, this is a feudal society and there is no concept of fairness for everyone.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Therefore, Luo Xiuer wanted to thank Yongning in turn at this moment. In the earth world, a girl with a slightly tougher personality would have pounced on her and tore her apart: You shameless mistress, how dare you turn against the guest?
Although Luo Chong repeatedly stated that he had never thought about marrying a princess or becoming a consort, everyone from Luo's mother to Luo Xiuer felt that if an outstanding woman like Princess Yongning was determined to pursue him, it would be almost impossible to fail. There are not many men down there who can refuse.
In their minds, it didn't matter whether Luo Chong was willing or not. Yongning only needed to return to Beijing and ask her father to issue an imperial edict, and the matter would be settled. As a minister, how dare you resist the decree?
¡°In short, it is impossible to miss the target that Her Royal Highness has set your sights on.
During the dayWandering around the town, as soon as he returned to the Luo family compound, Yongning would chat with Luo's mother. Although he didn't say it explicitly, there were many hints in his words: If I become your daughter-in-law, I will definitely honor you well, and I will definitely not Whatever princess airs or temper you have will definitely make you the happiest mother-in-law in the world.
"The Luo family's sister-in-law said it right. Her Royal Highness the Princess' skill with a soft knife is really extraordinary. In just two or three days, Luo's mother was almost conquered. There was almost no resistance from the old lady.
Before going to bed that night, Luo's mother was thinking: Yongning is a really good child. In an ordinary family, she would be a very sensible and well-behaved good girl. It is rare that she is also a pampered princess.
Don¡¯t forget, when our family was just an ordinary military household, we never expected Dong¡¯er to have three wives and four concubines in his life. It would be very good to be able to marry a good wife. Now, to be able to find Yongning Like this, what more could you ask for
Under the moonlight, at the same time, Yongning was also lying on the bed thinking: now, there is basically no resistance from his family. The key is to see whether he can finally melt this iron knot.
That¡¯s right, he¡¯s just a smelly, hard lump of iron. Yongning had never thought that chasing a man would be so strenuous. He had already done it to this extent, but he hadn't said anything until now.
Speaking of Luo Chong, he didn't take care of Yongning at all in the past two days. Except for going home to eat and sleep after dark, he spent almost all the other time in the military camp.
It¡¯s not that Luo Chong, a half-hearted general, is so dedicated, but that he has been traveling all the way and has been with the princess for many days. This is not enough. When will he have enough?
As an innocent man, he should be completely unaware of this kind of thing. He must pretend not to understand even though he understands very well, huh
A third-grade general can lead tens of thousands or thousands of cavalry!
Now, there are official positions, but the question is, where did the five thousand cavalry come from?
Guangling Town, a big place, now has 500 cavalry and more than 1,000 infantry, and it is impossible to have more troops.
Five hundred is easy to say, but five thousand is too difficult. Moreover, judging from the current world situation, there is not so much time to train thousands of elite cavalry.
"Where can we find so many soldiers?"
Of course the person who is worried is not Luo Chong, but his generals such as Hong Haishan and Ma Hanzi.
Strictly speaking, Hong Haishan and Ma Hanzi are the real soldiers. The meaning of their existence is to fight on the battlefield. The only difference is that if they had not met Luo Chong, they might have been just soldiers all their lives, but now they have the ability to become contemporary famous generals. possible.
As a general, who doesn't want to have as many soldiers as possible under his command, Hong Haishan and the others are the same, but they also feel that no matter how powerful our General Luo Dong is, he is not a god, and it is impossible to conjure up soldiers by spreading beans. Thousands of elite soldiers?
They were all secretly anxious, but Luo Chong seemed relaxed and contented, and had no intention of recruiting troops through wide open channels.
"Don't worry, someone will bring you a pillow if you feel sleepy."
Luo Chong said to Ma Hanzi and the others: "Just wait patiently and take advantage of this opportunity to sort out the training plan first. The more detailed the better"
Luo Chong didn¡¯t explain too much about the specific things, it was quite a secret that couldn¡¯t be revealed.
In fact, Ma Hanzi and the others were not made to wait too long. On the morning of the fourth day when His Highness Yongning arrived in Guangling, Luo Chong had just arrived at the military camp. Within a quarter of an hour, a soldier came to report: "General, there is someone outside the camp asking to see you." , sent a greeting note."
Luo Chong casually opened the extremely exquisite greeting card and glanced at it, then handed it to Hong Haishan beside him: "Look, the pillow delivery person has arrived."
As soon as Hong Haishan received it, he saw the signature at the bottom of the invitation: Kaiping King Zhou Xuanhao!
