The first contact with Prince Zhou ended quickly, with a degree of crispness that Zhou Xuanhao and Mr. Guan never expected.
After they left, they were still discussing privately: What kind of character is this Luo Dong? Is such a big thing as starting a rebellion as easy as a common occurrence in his concept?
Mr. Guan thought about it for a while, and then said solemnly: "To be honest, this is just his character trait, but I want to say that this person is so bold that there seems to be nothing he dares to do Third Master, this is someone who cannot be controlled. People!¡±
"Yes."
Zhou Xuanhao also saw it this way, nodded, and shook his head: "But we must rely on him now. The leader of Taiping also said that whether I, Zhou Xuanhao, can accomplish great things depends entirely on whether I can get Luo Dong's support."
Mr. Guan nodded silently, but in his heart he had already very clearly predicted some things that would happen a few years later
Apart from providing Luo Chong with at least 20,000 young and strong recruits, there is not much else to say. After all, this is the first meeting and first contact. In general, it is good to be able to reach an agreement. No matter how many things are said, It's all in vain, it won't be of any use.
Luo Chong would definitely not tell Yong Ning about his contact with Zhou Xuanhao. Friends are friends, and it is impossible to say anything.
In the following days, Yongning just asked privately out of curiosity: "Where did your five thousand cavalry come from? I haven't seen you issue a recruitment notice."
Luo Chong was too lazy to lie, but it was impossible to say it clearly, so he replied vaguely: "There will always be a few speculators with evil intentions who are willing to cooperate with me."
The so-called ill-intentioned people are of course speaking from the standpoint of Yongning: Anyone who attempts to overthrow the Jin Dynasty and the Xiao royal family is an ill-intentioned person.
"That's true."
Yongning was not surprised, but there was a hint of resentment in his expression and tone: "Now that you have the potential to be a famous general in the world, you will naturally fall into the sight of many interested people, and anyone with a little bit of discernment can see it. It can be seen that you will not be loyal to anyone. Only at the stage of conquering the world, you are definitely the most suitable partner to win. "
¡°This intelligent princess has already seen through many things and guessed them.
"What did you say?"
Luo Chong couldn't help but laugh and said: "From what you say, it's only appropriate to find me when you are conquering the world. When you are conquering the world, you should get rid of me and try every means to eradicate me, right?"
"What do you think?"
Yongning pursed his lips and smiled: "No one can suppress a person like you, and no one can rest assured."
¡°Then we¡¯ll talk about it when the time comes.¡±
Of course Luo Chong didn't care, and said with a smile: "I can help him up, and I can pull him down."
"Actually"
Yongning didn't think he was bragging, but said calmly: "Only those who really know you know that you are easy to get along with. As long as I truly treat you as a friend, I will never suffer any loss from you." "You are not a qualified politician, but you are a very loyal friend."
Luo Chong looked at her with a complicated and strange look: "You really understand me. Is this the legendary confidante?"
Yongning curled his lips slightly and hummed to himself: I don¡¯t want a confidante. The so-called confidant can only be said to be destined but not destined.
For the next period of time, Yongning was still a guest in Luo Mansion. He showed no sign of leaving. He also did not urge Luo Chong to "take me around to see everything" or other requests. Instead, he integrated as quickly as possible. After arriving at the Luo family, getting along with Luo's mother, sister-in-law and Luo Xiuer became more and more natural and closer.
"My sister-in-law, who was wary of her at first, has greatly changed her opinion of her. She has already told Luo's mother in private: It seems that Yongning has a good heart, quite like our Luo family."
"right."
Luo¡¯s mother was even more satisfied: ¡°As the saying goes, if you don¡¯t enter a family, you won¡¯t be a family. Isn¡¯t it true that you are a princess?¡±
Even Luo Xiuer, when giving Luo Chong a bath and rubbing his back one night as usual, she expressed quite implicitly: If a girl like Your Highness Yongning becomes your wife, I will be willing to be a concubine.
In fact, if this can be done, Luo Xiuer will really feel at ease. After all, it is impossible for an ordinary village girl like herself to be worthy of him. Even if she becomes his legal wife, she will not be able to support his face on any occasion in the future.
¡°Rather than being criticized and even faced with opposition and complaints from Luo¡¯s mother, it would be better to have a gentle and generous wife like Princess Yongning. As a concubine, it would be easier for me to end up with a good death.
Living in this world, one must know how to give in and make choices. Being too greedy will often end in tragedy Anyway, that's what she thought.
Only Luo Chong has not expressed anything yet, as if marrying Yongning would wrong him.
There are some words that Luo Chong doesn't want to say to Luo Mu and the others. As a woman, Yongning is almost perfect, but after all, her thoughts about herself are not so pure after all. There are many extraneous things mixed into them. This is also true. These are some elements that Luo Chong dislikes the most.
So just wait and see, what¡¯s the rush? We don¡¯t lack women
More than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, and King Zhou Xuanhao of Kaiping sent the first batch of 2,000 people. Of course, he himself could not be present, in order to avoid suspicion and avoid being false.
You must know that more than a hundred members of the Kaiping Wang Zhou family, old and young, are still living in the capital. If Zhou Xuanhao is found guilty of rebellion, it will be a miserable end for everyone to be executed. No one can afford such a price.
From this day on, each batch of two thousand people came to surrender under the leadership of a certain temporary general, and they were integrated into Luo Chong's military camp very smoothly.
The Luo Jiajun's military camp is expanding rapidly every day, and Hong Haishan and Ma Hanzi are all very busy.
There is no need to waste too much time on this kind of thing. Anyway, no matter how difficult it is, it is impossible for Luo Chong to deal with it. He always has a way to solve it easily.
It didn¡¯t take long for the Luo Family Army¡¯s military camp to turn into a behemoth, more than ten times larger than the nearby Guangling Town. No one was blind or deaf, so many rumors started to appear one after another. Even Luo's mother and sister-in-law at home heard about it.
The most critical question: I haven¡¯t seen him recruiting any troops, so where did so many people come from all over to vote for him? Besides, they don't look like untrained new recruits at all, but they are orderly, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, as if
All in all, this is full of conspiracy.
"Son, I feel like something is wrong."
That night, Luo's mother quietly called Luo Chong to her room and asked in a low voice: "Where did you find these people? It feels like you have been secretly preparing for a long time, and today you can finally let go Hey, I don¡¯t even know what to say.¡±
In normal times, Luo's mother would not have asked too much, but now, Yongning lives in our house. Under the eyes of her, the princess, if our son does those things that he shouldn't do, how can he be held accountable? As for her.
¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with that.¡±
Luo Chong replied carelessly: "Mom is worried, so just ask Yongning. You should believe what she says, right?"
It has only been a few days, but Yongning¡¯s status in the family is already well, it¡¯s hard to describe, but it¡¯s quite special, very special.
"Can I really ask?"
"Well, go ahead and ask!"
Well, the next day Luo's mother went to Yongning and carefully tested her: "Yongning, what has Dong'er been doing recently? He has been homeless all day long, but the military camp outside is getting bigger and bigger. Good guy, standing here On the town wall, you can¡¯t even see the edges at a glance¡¡±
Luo¡¯s mother didn¡¯t care what her son did, she only cared about Yongning¡¯s reaction.
"It's normal for a third-grade senior general to have tens of thousands of soldiers under his command."
Why didn't Yongning know Luo's mother's thoughts? No matter how complicated his mentality was, he still had to reassure her at this moment. He replied softly: "Five thousand cavalry sounds easy to say, but it is not so easy to achieve. I guess he is too." We have no choice but to recruit so many infantrymen as temporary replacements.¡±
"You mean, there's nothing wrong with what he did?" Luo's mother felt a little relieved.
Yongning felt sour in his heart, but on the surface he could only smile and reply: "There's nothing wrong. Don't worry, Auntie. We don't understand these things either. Just let him figure it out."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT off in my heart: Not only is it wrong, it is simply heartbreaking! But what can I do?
I knew that he was secretly conspiring with some people to form a force in an attempt to overthrow my Xiao Dynasty, but I could only help him hide it, and even had to deliver false information to the capital on time: Father, don¡¯t worry, everything It's all under my control.
What can I do? What to do? Why do this?
Yongning has thought about these things more than anyone else, and the psychological suffering she has endured is not something ordinary people can understand.
Fortunately, there is always a glimmer of hope in despair, just because you believe in him and the promise he made.
The Jin Dynasty will surely perish, but the Xiao family will not be destroyed.
Yongning also said to Luo Chong countless times with her eyes: Don¡¯t be sorry to me, otherwise, I will turn into a fierce ghost and I will never let you go in this life!
Luo Chong replied to her with another rather playful look: Don't worry, you won't become a ghost, and I can still use the next life, or even the next life, to make up for you. This is no joke, we do what we say!
