After becoming the protagonist of abuse

Luo Xi glanced at several people, and couldn't help asking, "Really?"

The leader shook his head, "I will only obey the master, and I hope the second son will not blame you."

Luo Xi sighed slightly and went back to the room.

After a while, a pigeon came out of the window.

The guards in charge looked at each other.

"Does this count as leaking the wind?"

"It doesn't seem appropriate."

"Otherwise? Are you going to shoot down the pigeon? This is raised by the second son."

The pigeon circled above everyone's heads, cooed, and rushed directly to Duke Luo's courtyard next door.

A maid stepped forward, "You are polite, I am the young master's maid, and I am here to clean up the house."

Seeing that she was a weak girl, the guards quickly let her in without holding anything in their hands.

Luo Xi raised her eyebrows when she saw Shao Yao, "It's just in time, and I almost got something."

The maid Shao Yao smiled and said, "Young master is right."

Shao Yao took out the medicinal powder from her cuff, poured it into the jug, and shook the jug again to make sure there were no traces.

When Luo Xi went out, the snowflakes became bigger and bigger, and the bodyguards were inevitably stained a little.

"Why don't you come in and sit down? It's cold outside, drink some wine to warm up." Luo Xi looked at the people in front of him and extended an invitation.

These guards are masters and servants in name, but they are actually the personal guards of Luo Shangshu and Luo Guogong. They were trained by the Luo family since they were young. They are also the most trustworthy group of people, and their status is not low.

The guards looked at each other, seeing that Luo Xi didn't seem to intend to go out, so he simply entered the house without thinking too much.

A quarter of an hour later, the guards leaned back and forth on their chairs.

One of them hadn't passed out completely, he struggled barely, wanted to stand up, but fell down again, "Master, you..."

Luo Xi smiled slightly, "It's snowing outside, please rest indoors for a while."

"Watch them." Luo Xi told Yang Yu, and went out directly with the maid Shao Yao.

After calculating several possible locations in her mind, Luo Xi went straight to the ancestral hall.

In the study, Luo Shangshu and Duke Luo were arguing.

"How can you indulge him in this matter?" Luo Shangshu was extremely angry, "What does he think of his brothers?"

"Speaking of this matter, apart from creating more grievances between them and making Ah Zhi feel cold again, what's the use?" Luo Guogong sighed slightly, "I deserve to be punished, and I deserve to be punished." I scolded him too, and he treated Ah Zhi well when he came back."

"Is it guilt? I can't get over it at last." Luo Shangshu sneered, feeling a little helpless, "Yu'er is not like this, even if he is a bit stubborn, he would not do such things."

Luo Guogong said indifferently, "The future of the Luo family still depends on their young people. They have a friendly relationship. Only when they are united can the Luo family go further. Besides, Luo Chang has been following me. Azhi is not suitable for the frontier, and it will be difficult to train other people." That's too late."

There was no one around the ancestral hall, and there was a faint light coming from inside.

When Luo Xi pushed the door and entered, Luo Chang knelt straight.

Asking Shao Yao to guard the outside, Luo Xi took a futon and sat down beside him.

Luo Xi propped her chin and sighed slightly, "You are too serious."

Although Luo Xi was also punished to go to the ancestral hall to reflect, but Luo Xi never wronged herself, and usually just find a place to sit for a while.

Luo Chang didn't move, "Father punished me to come here."

The dim candlelight flickered, Luo Xi looked sideways at Luo Chang.Luo Chang is only twenty this year, but he has been in the bitter cold of the frontier for a long time, his face is a little yellow, and there are many calluses on his hands.

Before Luo Xi was ten years old, he had a lot of exchanges with this elder brother, but when he went to the frontier, as he got older, Luo Xi gradually didn't remember this person very much, and only vaguely remembered the joy of the past.

After a long time, Luo Xi lazily looked away.

"Forget it," Luo Xi tugged on Luo Chang's sleeve, "Let's go, it's a bit cold, go back early."

Luo Chang didn't move, he bowed his head and apologized again, "It's my fault, I shouldn't—"

"Are you trying to say this to me or for someone else?" Luo Xi interrupted him.

Luo Chang's breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

Luo Xi smiled lightly, "It's quite interesting. Uncle is afraid that my father and I will fall out, so he doesn't mention the past. My father is afraid that our brothers will lose friendship, so he doesn't mention it. You have exposed yourself."

Luo Chang held Luo Xi's hand, exerting a little force unconsciously, his knuckles turned white.

"Go back." Luo Xi pulled Luo Chang to stand up, her mood calmed down, "If you feel sorry, it happens that I don't have anyone to help me here."

Following Luo Xi's strength, Luo Chang got up and staggered a few steps.

Outside the door, Mrs. Wang came in a hurry, and when she saw Luo Xi and Luo Chang here, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard some servants say that the master is angry, so I came here to have a look."

Luo Xi smiled gently, "It's just some trivial matter. Uncle is very angry these days."

Wang glanced at Luo Chang several times, and seeing that he was fine, she joked with Luo Xi, "He's really got angry these days, let the doctor prescribe some prescriptions for him someday."

Luo Chang greeted Wang, and he avoided Wang's gaze.

Luo Xi tugged at Luo Chang's sleeve, "Auntie, I'm going to ask my brother to help me, so I'm leaving first."

Wang Shi watched the two walk away with a smile.

In Luo Xi's room, the guards had almost woken up, but their hands and feet were still a little weak.

Yang Yu stopped those people, unwilling to let them go.

Seeing Luo Xi and Luo Chang walk in together, the faces of the guards were not very good-looking.

Luo Xi still apologized to a few people, and asked Yang Yu to accompany them to make it clear to Luo Shangshu.

In the study, Luo Shangshu's face became darker the more he listened, "Go out, you are not allowed to publicize this matter, and you are not allowed to tell Madam about it."

Duke Luo sipped the tea carefully, and heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "It seems that Ah Zhi has already made a decision, and you and I don't need to intervene."

Luo Shangshu was so angry, "You go out too, I will get angry when I see you! Even my own son can't be coaxed back, maybe he can really run away with Yang Yan some other day."

When Yang Yu came back, Luo Xi happened to take out a new jar of peach blossom wine, "How about we continue drinking?"

"Okay." Luo Chang answered in one gulp.

Although it was said to be drinking, Luo Chang was actually drinking one after another, Luo Xi was in a daze.

When Luo Chang got drunk, Luo Xi shook his head, "Send him to the next room to rest."

Outside the window, snowflakes fell all over the ground.

At night, Mrs. Wang suddenly had a dream and remembered the past.

When Luo Xi was ten years old and Luo Chang was 12 years old, the Luo family was in turmoil, and Luo Jue, the Duke of Luo, was still at home. He finally found a chance and was about to go to the battlefield.

Luo Shangshu's face was cold, "Take a child away, you can't leave everyone in the capital. Your Majesty is probably trying to attack the family these days."

Luo Jue nodded, "Ah Zhi will go with me."

"Ah Zhi can't do it," Luo Shangshu sighed, "He's too weak, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the bumpy road, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on to the frontier, so Ah Chang will go with you."

Mrs. Wang clutched the handkerchief tightly, "Master!"

Luo Shangshu said in a deep voice, "That's it. Ah Zhi will follow me, I will treat him like my own son, and I will never wrong him. If Ah Chang entrusts you, I can trust you."

Wang shi hugged the ignorant Luo Chang, weeping softly.

Luo Chang wiped Wang's tears with a handkerchief, "Mother, why are you crying?"

Luo Shangshu took a deep breath, and finally warned, "If you hear something happened to the Luo family in the border area, then go south or raise your troops, don't care about the lives of us, even if your majesty threatens you with Azhi, you can't Act rashly; if Ah Chang died in the frontier, it would be his fate too, so you don't have to blame yourself."

"Okay." Luo Jue agreed with difficulty.

Wang looked at Luo Chang sadly, not knowing whether it was he or Luo Xi who was more sad.

Afterwards, it seemed like a nightmare. When Wang woke up from the dream, she found that tears were streaming down her face.

Luo Shangshu was a little tired, but he still got up to comfort his wife, "What's wrong with you?"

Wang calmed down, "I dreamed that something happened to my son in the border."

Luo Shangshu comforted, "They are all back, what happened?"

When Wang heard the words, she immediately punched Luo Shangshu and said angrily, "Then you still let him kneel in the ancestral hall today!"

Luo Shangshu didn't answer directly, he couldn't tell Mrs. Wang about those private things, "Didn't he come out a long time ago."

"It was Ah Zhi who asked him to come out, not you." Wang Shi turned over, turned her back to Luo Shangshu, and went straight to sleep.

Luo Shangshu sighed slightly, but did not speak.

Luo Chang got drunk and rested in Luo Xi's yard that night, and went to Luo Shangshu to plead guilty the next day. Luo Xi was still eating some meals at a leisurely pace, so she had to speed up her movements and quickly followed.

Outside, Luo Shangshu's face was slightly cold. He was talking to Luo Chang about something, but Luo Chang agreed, and he didn't seem to see any dissatisfaction.

Seeing Luo Xi rushing over, Luo Shangshu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Wait for me in the study. I have something to talk to him about, don't worry."

With such a promise, Luo Xi simply went to Luo Shangshu's study.

Half an hour later, Luo Shangshu also came.

First, Luo Xi's homework was tested, and Luo Shang's expression softened, "It seems that you are doing well in Jiangnan, and you haven't forgotten your homework."

"It's the uncle who teaches well." Luo Xi generously admitted, and did not forget to praise Luo Shangshu.

Luo Shangshu didn't talk nonsense with him, "We discussed just now, next year you will be the first in the younger generation to worship the ancestors, and stand behind me."

Luo Xi was slightly taken aback, "Is this appropriate?"

If Luo Chang didn't come back, it would be fine for Luo Xi to stand. After all, he was ranked second in the Luo family, so it could be said that he was ranked according to seniority and order.The key is that Luo Chang is back, and the Luo family is all here. If Luo Xi stands in the first place again, the meaning of this will be hard to say.

The first one to worship the ancestors is basically the default next patriarch.

In other words, all the future resources of the Luo family will be handed over to Luo Xi for control.

Like Luo Shangshu himself, he was able to become a second-rank Shangshu in less than [-] years, and he had to say that he had the help of his family.

The point is, Luo Xi is not Luo Shangshu's own son, but his nephew.As for Luo Shangshu's own son, Luo Chang, and even Luo Shangshu's eldest son, he was rejected by Luo Shangshu.

"Where is it inappropriate?" Luo Shangshu's expression was flat, "There is no one more suitable than you."

Luo Xi frowned, trying to reason, "Uncle, the eldest son inheritance system has been emphasized since ancient times..."

If you don't choose Luo Chang, or even Luo Yu, if you give up your son and choose your nephew, if others find out, their jaws will drop from fear.

"Establish the virtuous but not the superior." Luo Shangshu raised his hand, signaling Luo Xi to shut up.

Luo Xi asked, "Where does this put eldest brother?"

Seeing that Luo Xi still wanted to argue, Luo Shangshu couldn't help saying angrily, "It's just that you don't want to do it! He will be his military commander, and you will enter your court. Naturally, you two have your own arrangements. It's because you feel that you want to come here." You are more suitable."

Luo Xi was speechless, he really didn't want this position very much.

Luo Shangshu snorted coldly, "You can decide on your own, deal with the family affairs as soon as possible. Everything about ancestor worship remains the same, and come to me if you have any problems."

Luo Xi had to consider the future of the family first, and decide on a rough life direction.

Let’s talk about the emperor first. The emperor is currently 50 to [-] years old, and most of the emperors’ life expectancy is only more than [-] years old. Therefore, today’s emperors are particularly afraid of death.

Let’s talk about heirs like princes. The emperor has no legitimate sons, but he has five concubine sons. But he guards against death, fearing that his son will miss his position. Now that the eldest prince is over twenty, he is still studying in the palace and has not been able to build a mansion outside. .

Their Luo family used to be wise and protect themselves, they were neither the emperor nor the prince, but seeing him fall off a horse and assassinate him once, the emperor obviously couldn't tolerate the Luo family that much.The aristocratic family competes with the imperial power, how to do it is really a big problem.

After lying on the couch and thinking about it for a long time, Luo Xi simply sat up, studied ink and picked up a pen, and wrote down the question "I want to gain power, what to do faster", tied it to the leg of the carrier pigeon, and let it fly.

Anyway, you can also ask your friends in due course and refer to their opinions.

The carrier pigeon flew to Yang's house and went straight to Yang Yan's house.

In less than a cup of tea, the homing pigeon came back, still with a note on its lap.

Luo Xi unfolded it and saw that there were only five words on it: bold and unrestrained.

【Dream faster】

Luo Xi: "..."
