then Li Sao

In the evening, Luoping left the city.

The wine shop he opened in the outskirts of Mocheng is now very prosperous, and the sound of punching and drinking can be heard from a long distance away.

As it got closer, there was another commotion, probably because someone didn't pay back the credit and was thrown out.

I saw Mrs. Sun dancing a wooden stool so that there was no water leaking, and beat the man so hard that he ran away, almost bumping into Luo Ping who was about to enter the door.

Aunt Sun's bench came to a sudden stop in front of Luo Ping: "...Boss?"

Luo Ping praised: "Aunt Sun, your kung fu has improved again."

Aunt Sun burst into laughter immediately, and hurriedly welcomed him into the store and made a private room for him.

I haven't seen him for several years, but in the eyes of Aunt Sun, he is still the young master who is capable of being an official but not capable of taking care of himself, so she asked according to his previous preferences: "Longjing?"

Luo Ping shook his head: "I want to drink today, so let's have a jar of spring mash. If I can't finish it, I'll take it home."

Aunt Sun said with concern: "You just came back? Be careful not to drink too much and cause trouble in the capital!"

"It's been a while since I've been back, but I've been too busy and too sober to be confused. Aunt Sun, go and get some wine. Don't worry, I'm sensible."

"Okay, I'll take it for you."

After Luo Ping drank two pots on an empty stomach, he became a little drunk.The noisy voices downstairs gradually became inaudible, but there was a footstep rolling on the stairs, which reached his ears.

The visitor said, "If I don't come to look for you, will you keep ignoring me?"

Luo Ping said: "My lord, have you rested? Sit down, the spring mash in my restaurant is the mellowest."

Zhou Tang did not sit across from him, but went straight to his side, bent over his face, and blocked his lips.

The smell of wine spread in the mouths of the two of them, Luo Ping's eyes were blurred, his slightly drunk head was not quite in control, seeing Zhou Tang's long eyelashes close at hand, he was in a daze for a moment, and did not dodge.

Zhou Tang eagerly sucked and kissed his lips and tongue, licking his palate back and forth with the tip of his tongue, causing Luo Ping to tremble slightly.

He was obviously exhausted, but he couldn't fall asleep when he returned to Fudong Hall, his mind was full of this person, he wanted to see him, he wanted to blame him, he asked the people in his house to come here, and finally met him, but he didn't know what to do. what to say.

In the end all that remains is desire.

Zhou Tang's breathing became heavy, he pressed the back of Luo Ping's head impatiently, and kissed deeper.

Luo Ping gently stroked his face with his hand, stroking his eyebrows and eyelashes with his fingers, as soft as a feather, as if he was speaking soothing words.

Zhou Tang gradually calmed down, and reluctantly let go of him: "Little master, I miss you very much. You did it on purpose, to give me a little sweetness, and then run far away to whet my appetite."

Luo Ping looked at him and smiled, that smile was sweetened by the spring wine: "I miss you very much too."

Zhou Tang was taken aback for a moment, the resentment of the past three months was actually wiped out in these five words.

He was seduced by Luo Ping's sincere eyes, so he sat on the same bench, took him into his arms, and wanted to kiss him, but this time Luo Ping let him go.

"I'm very glad you said that in court today," Luo Ping said. "You can be so open-minded, and I feel relieved when you think of doing this. Even if I don't have me by your side, I won't do it if I think about it." It's a reckless thing."

"What are you talking about, little master?" Zhou Tang frowned, "Didn't you come back to me again?"

Luo Ping knew that he had made a slip of the tongue when he was drunk, so he changed the subject and said, "You spent more than three years training the Nanshan Army, and it became someone else's wedding dress, don't you feel reconciled?"

"No, I still have a thousand servants for myself, so why not give the little emperor a thousand? Besides, I will take back this wedding dress in the future."

"Well, as long as you can see clearly." Luo Ping brought the wine cup to his lips, "Don't you want to drink a little? I took a whole jar, so it's a waste if you don't drink it."

Zhou Tang drank it all with a smile: "It's rare to see you so greedy."

Luo Ping poured another glass and drank it by himself: "You are back today, you want to celebrate, if you have wine today, you will be drunk today."

……

This night, he drank until the wine jars were empty, the wine shop was closed, and Luo Ping was as drunk as mud.

Aunt Sun was very surprised when she saw it, because she had never seen Luo Ping so out of proportion.However, she didn't reprimand her, instead she looked very happy: "It's good for this kid to get drunk, but he disciplines himself too strictly, I see that I'm working hard for him."

"Aunt Sun, I'll take him back, don't worry." Zhou Tang said.

Aunt Sun looked at the young man in front of her in the moonlight, and it took a long time to realize: "Are you His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince?"

"Yes, I am."

"Oh, I almost don't recognize you. You were so young at that time, but you are so handsome now."

In the eyes of Mrs. Sun, he has always been a child.

Zhou Tang carried Luo Ping into his carriage, and hugged him tightly all the way back to Luo Ping's mansion. After settling down, he endured and endured, and finally only kissed him on the lips.

Back in Fudong Palace, with the smell of alcohol on that person, Zhou Tang slept the most peaceful sleep in three months.

----

The next day, the little emperor summoned the king of Yue and Deputy Envoy Luo for a secret talk.The last emperor's edict was placed in front of the three of them.

Zhou Tang stared at the will, with mixed feelings in his heart.

——Beiling is in trouble, and Zhou Tang is sent to fight it.

What Luo Ping said is right, when a person is dying, he can often think through many things.

After all, the first emperor finally wanted to understand, wanted to understand what kind of outstanding ability this son, whom he had deliberately ignored for so long, had, and how to use it.

At the Zhenyang Hall, Zhou Tang's "Beiling provocation" became a prophecy.After many years, the first emperor removed the prejudice from his own eyes, acknowledged the military talent of his youngest son, and asked him to rule out foreign troubles.

But he was still so selfish, using the heir he didn't care about the most to fight the toughest enemy.

Zhou Tang took the order to thank you.

The little emperor was a bit reluctant to part with him: "Uncle Seventh Emperor, the road to the border of Mozhou is dangerous. If you need anything, just tell me, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

Zhou Tang said: "Well, I want to ask His Majesty for someone to walk with me."

"Who?"

"Luoping."

"No!" "I'm sorry!"

With one voice, they were all objections, but Zhou Tang's eyes only fell on one person: "Why?"

Luo Ping raised his eyebrows and didn't answer, he knew that the little emperor would give reasons for himself.

"Luo Qing wants to stay by my side, I need to rely on him for many things."

"Your Majesty has so many humerus ministers who are loyal to assist, what does it matter if Luo Ping is missing?"

"He...he's different." The little emperor was a little flustered by his pressing questions.

"Why is it different?" Zhou Tang narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Ping.

"Almost all the officials in the court have interests with King Ning, but Luo Qing is alone, and he is the one I can trust the most. Now that King Ning is watching, I still need his assistance and teaching in many things ...So, please ask the Seventh Emperor Uncle to make another request, and I will definitely agree."

Zhou Tang suppressed his anger: "Master Luo, what do you mean? If you go with me, I will give priority to ensuring your safety. I have admired you for a long time, and I need your wisdom to help me defeat the enemy."

Luo Ping respectfully said: "Go back to the lord, I am not good at leading the army to fight, the lord should find another capable person."

"Luo Ping, what do you mean!" Zhou Tang couldn't control his emotions.

"My lord, the emperor's order must not be violated."

"Luo, Luo Qing, what you said last time about General Li Shen's private transfer of troops, how is the investigation going?"

The little emperor wanted to rescue Luo Ping, and when it came to internal affairs, Zhou Tang was inconvenient to be present, so he had to leave.

Afterwards, Luo Ping deliberately avoided the King of Yue, and the King of Yue was also entangled in the affairs before the expedition, and the two had almost no chance to meet each other.

After the little emperor announced the news of the king of Yue conquering the north in the court, there was a lot of discussion in the court.Because Zhou Tang was always sent to the border, he got the nickname "King of the Frontier".

On the day of departure, Zhou Tang asked again to take Luoping to the expedition in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Interestingly, the people on King Ning's side strongly agreed with it, while the people on the Emperor's side strongly opposed it.Of course, the final decision is still in the hands of the emperor.

The emperor refused to allow it, and the king of Yue had no way to openly resist the decree.

But before leaving the city, Zhou Tang found an opportunity, drove his horse to Luo Ping's side, and said to him, "Why don't you come with me? What's the advantage of staying in the capital? Fighting against King Ning is no safer than fighting on the battlefield!"

Luo Ping sighed: "My lord, why are you so persistent."

"Or do you like that brat Zhou Heng? Like him more than me?" Zhou Tang said without hesitation.

"My lord, please be careful. I stayed in Mocheng only because the little emperor allowed me to be a high-ranking official. I will follow whoever can give me a high-ranking official."

"..." Zhou Tang looked at him in disbelief, "You're giving me such a reason?"

"Yes, that's the reason. Luo Ping is an official fan, you already know that."

"You are not this kind of person!"

"Whether I am or not, the prince doesn't need me anymore, doesn't he?"

"Is what you said when you were drunk that day true? Are you really going to leave me alone?" Zhou Tang said sadly, "Who said I don't need you anymore? Who said you can leave me?"

"My lord..."

"Aren't you always thinking about how to get rid of me! Every time you're thinking of ways to say goodbye to me, aren't you! Little master, believe it or not, I'll tie you up!"

"I'm no longer your wife, my lord, you've grown out of blue."

"Luoping! Do you have to force me like this!"

"...The time has come, my lord, please go."

Luo Ping staggered back by a horse's distance, looked at him, and didn't speak again.

He knew that the two of them would not give in, and confrontation would only make them more embarrassing.

When Zhou Tang looked back, Luo Ping could see clearly that it was genuine resentment.

Luo Ping watched the King of Yue lead his army away, his expression remained calm.

However, on the way back to the city, he suddenly fell off his horse, and the accompanying attendant hurriedly helped him up, and saw deep bloodstains in his palms from the reins.
