Seeing Lou Ye who packed up his bags and was about to go out, Lou Chen was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He hurriedly jumped out of bed, pulled him back and said with a mournful face, "Uncle, where are you going..."

Could it be that uncle is really so angry that he wants to leave him alone?

However, Lou Ye didn't answer Lou Chen's question. He drank a cup of tea slowly and began to wipe his sword as if Lou Chen didn't exist.

He looked serious and focused, as if treating a deeply loved lover, not leaving Lou Chen with half his thoughts.

Seeing this, Lou Chen felt a "thud" in his heart. He was not afraid that his uncle would be furious, but he was afraid that his uncle would neither blame nor preach, just ignore his existence like this.

In the center of the building, there was a slight panic, but he calmed down quickly. While comforting himself in his heart not to worry, he began to think of countermeasures.

But he soon discovered how naive he was. In the past, when he was naughty and made his uncle angry, he always had a way to make his uncle forgive him.But today, he loves his uncle the most on weekdays, but he doesn't care about it. No matter how he explains and admits his mistakes, he doesn't respond in the slightest.

It was only at this time that Lou Chen really realized the seriousness of the matter, and was a little anxious.

He can be fearless of the emperor's dragon prestige, fearless of life and death strangling on the battlefield, but he is afraid of offending his uncle who is so cool and breezy.

After all, uncle is the only person in this world who treats him sincerely without asking for anything in return.

"Uncle, Lou Chen got it wrong, don't go, don't go..." Lou Chen remembered the same thing happened to his uncle in his previous life, and after knowing his relationship with Gao Yu and the rumors in the market, he started to ignore him and ignore him. all his actions.

He also sued and begged for forgiveness, but his uncle ignored him completely, and never even gave him a chance to explain.

He originally thought of waiting until his uncle's anger dissipated, and he knelt down in front of him to beg him for forgiveness, but he didn't expect that his uncle would go to the southwest after a while and never come back.

Unpleasant memories of the past flooded into Lou Chen's heart, and Lou Chen felt a little scared, and he spoke with a little emotion: "Uncle..."

Hearing Lou Chen's call with a slightly crying tone, Lou Ye finally responded.

He put down his sword, turned his head, and stared at Lou Chen unblinkingly with his light brown eyes. He didn't move his fingers until the back of Lou Chen's tense neck stiffened, and tapped on the table, calmly. Said: "Now you know that you are afraid? Then why weren't you afraid at the 'Choosing Sword Banquet' last night?"

"I, I..." Lou Chen thought about it for a long time, and those reasons and excuses that he had thought up earlier rolled around in his throat, and finally swallowed them back, and he just honestly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Uncle, I was wrong, I shouldn't have done it myself. Advocate, also shouldn't disobey you."

While talking, he also twitched his nose, the tip of his nose was so pitifully red.

"You are not disobeying me, but your majesty." Lou Ye said coldly, "You knew that your majesty wanted you to choose one of the four princes to be his 'sword', but you turned against it. Do it according to the way. Do you know what the consequences would be if His Majesty was really angry at that time?"

Lou Chen didn't dare to talk back, but obediently said: "Lou Chen knows, at least he will be expelled from Beijing, and at worst... he will never be hired."

"Since I know you, why are you still so willful?" Lou Chen also wanted to hear an answer, wondering why his nephew, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, suddenly rebelled.

"I'm not capricious, and I have my own considerations." Lou Chen looked at Lou Ye with burning eyes, and explained, "The four princes gave swords at the same time. If I accept one of them, I will definitely offend the other three princes. The Lou family It's just a poor family, and I can't afford to offend any of the three princes, so I thought about my nephew, since this is the case, I might as well choose no one, and serve His Majesty's side for peace."

What Lou Chen said was true. Although he had already decided to give up his feelings for Gao Yu and no longer be his "sword holder", he did have other good choices besides serving the Emperor of Nanliang.

The first prince's poor performance can be ruled out, but the third prince is pure in character, and the fourth prince is innocent and friendly. Choosing them can not only avoid making enemies, but also secretly help Gao Yu in the future. It is indeed a good choice.

But if we really compare the two, choosing any one of the four princes is not as beneficial as serving His Majesty.

Because according to the rules set by the Taizu, if you serve the emperor, "holding the sword" can choose one of the three battalions in Beijing to join.

Lou Chen has both strength and perseverance. He has endured hardships in the army, and he also believes that if he enters the military camp, he will quickly stand out and win His Majesty's favor and trust.

So he finally chose Nanlianghuang, the fastest and most convenient way to get in touch with real power.

Lou Ye's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he said with a half-smile, "Your calculation is pretty good, but do you know the danger involved?"

"Your Majesty is benevolent today..." Lou Chen hesitated to speak, but he was actually betting on whether his perception of the emperor in his previous life was wrong, and betting on His Majesty's guilt towards the Lou family.

Simply put, His Majesty values ​​love and righteousness today, so he won the bet.

Knowing a son is like a father, how could Lou Ye not understand the unfinished meaning of Lou Chen's words.Since His Majesty has authorized Lou Chen to be selected to hold the sword, he will never cut off Lou Chen's career easily.

Although Lou Chen was a little dangerous this time, he also tested His Majesty's bottom line and attitude - His Majesty wanted to support the Lou family.

Sighing softly, Lou Ye looked at the young man with firm eyes in front of him, only to realize that the kid who followed behind him and babbled as "Uncle" had really grown up, and was able to judge the situation and be able to take care of himself.

When Lou Chen heard that sigh, he knew that his uncle had been persuaded by him, and the heart that lifted his throat quietly let go, and this test was finally passed.

Sure enough, after a long period of silence, Lou Ye explained softly: "Uncle doesn't blame you for making your own decisions. Since he said that you should make your own decisions, he will respect your choice. Uncle just hopes that whenever you make any decision, you can Think more about your own situation, and also... think about your mother who is far away in the southwest."

Facing his uncle who was always thinking of him unconditionally, Lou Chen was filled with guilt.

He understands his uncle's worries and his thoughts, but if he does not want to repeat the mistakes of his previous life, he will inevitably make some risky decisions. He has no choice but to seek victory.

But in the end it was due to his uncle, Lou Chen lowered his head, and after silently repeating the words of apology several times in his heart, he replied: "Nephew knows."

"It's good to know." Seeing his sleepy look, Lou Ye put away his seriousness and smiled slightly: "Fortunately, the result of this matter is not bad, King Jing..."

Mentioning the word "Prince Jing" felt like an electric shock on the tip of Lou Ye's tongue. He couldn't help but pause for a while before continuing: "Prince Jing's son is not an incompetent person. Your Majesty recalled him just to show that he is right for Prince Jing." Even though assisting Prince Jing’s son cannot be as successful as a dragon, it is still another way to revitalize the Lou family.”

It's just that the road bends a little bit...

Lou Chen's eyes were dark, he didn't have a good impression of Prince Jing and his son.

In the last life, if King Jing hadn't insisted on sending troops and was besieged in the southwestern hinterland, my uncle would not have put himself in danger and went deep into the enemy camp alone, and finally...

It can be said that Lou Ye's death in his previous life was inseparably related to Prince Jing.

Lou Chen didn't think much of anything in his life, he just wanted to lay down thousands of miles of land for Gao Yu, and protect the people he cared about for the rest of his life, so he had to avoid any possibility of hurting his uncle, even if that person was King Jing of Nanliang.

But that was all a long time later, Lou Chen shook his head, unwilling to recall those painful past events, he only trotted two steps to wrap around Lou Ye's arm and said, "Since uncle is not angry anymore, then this package..."

Lou Ye cast a glance at him, and replied flatly, "Put the package down for me."

"Uncle..." Lou Chen elongated his voice, feeling extremely wronged.

"Stupid boy, it's not what you think." Lou Ye pinched Lou Chen's sagging face, and explained with a smile, "Since you have been elected as 'holding the sword', you can be counted as an official of Nanliang. As Officials behave like officials, so they can’t stay in the inn all the time. Fortunately, my uncle still has some wealth in the capital, and he has a small house, but no one has lived in it for many years, and I’m afraid it has been abandoned.”

"Uncle's house?" Lou Chen's eyes lit up. In his previous life, his uncle never told him about the existence of this house.

"It was done many years ago, and I lived there for half a year. Later..." Lou Ye suddenly paused at this point, recalling some unpleasant memories, "Forget it Yes, you will know when you arrive. Now go wash up and pack your bags, we will leave after breakfast, and we will not stay at the inn today."

Lou Chen knew that the house must be related to that person, so he didn't ask any more questions, but said happily: "Okay, wait for me, uncle." Then he quickly ran to the sink to wash up.

Lou Ye looked at the lively and lovely nephew, shaking his head and laughing again and again.

Lou Ye's house is at the end of Chang'an Avenue, with two entrances and two exits. Compared with the General's Mansion where Lou Chen was used to living in his previous life, it can indeed be called shabby.

But it is such a yard, but the columbine car lives very comfortably.

He followed Lou Ye busy, cleaned up the arrangement, and finally cleaned up the courtyard before Lou Ye's family order expired.

In the autumn of this year, the whole country in Nanliang except Huainan had a bumper harvest.

The emperor of Nanliang ordered to reduce or exempt one-third of the tax for the year to show his love and compassion for the people, so that the people can have a good harvest year.

After many years, people discovered that although this year seemed to be a relatively peaceful year in the history of Nanliang, with neither storms nor huge waves, if you study carefully, you will find that many things stem from this year. The year began to change, and it became an opportunity to set off huge waves in the future.

On the first day of August in the eighth year of Shande, Lou Chen officially entered the palace as the "sword holder" of Prince Jing's son.

The author has something to say:

Uncle is temporarily leaving the stage, hehe~

As for the relationship between uncle and Prince Jing, well, it will be explained later when the plot comes. King Jing has a child... Forget it, let's not talk about it, anyway, he knows that the son is his own.

Lou Chen: Scumbag, don't have anything to do with uncle!

Prince Jing: ... I am wronged╥﹏╥...

Lou Ye: Xiao Chen is your aunt, don't be rude!

Gao Yu: Uncle Huang has become Aunt Ah Chen, so what should I be called?
