After becoming the protagonist of abuse

Chapter 85 Extra Story 3: Thunder

From being sick and not going out to the noble son who leads the fashion of the capital, Luo Xi, according to the memories of the past life and modern times, had a good time in the capital, and finally had a group of friends around him.

Others were proud of being able to get the posts from Luo Xi Wenhui, but Luo Xi just smiled. Even though he had his own advantages, in the end he had the Luo family and Luo Jue who was far away in the border to give him confidence.

Although the relationship between Luo Jue and him has cooled down a little bit, Luo Xi has to admit that as a family member in Beijing, he receives preferential treatment from the palace, at least no one would think hard to make things difficult for him on weekdays.

But at the same time, Luo Xi also began to carefully manage his power, gradually accumulating shops and manpower.

Luo Xi and Yang Yan maintain a lukewarm relationship on the surface, and rarely chat in front of everyone. After all, in the eyes of everyone, their father's discord is spread out on the plane, and the emperor may not be happy that they are together .

Occasionally, Yang Yan would bring people around in front of him, break into his literature club when he had nothing to do, and secretly remind him of the movements of the palace while showing off. People who are developed and have no brains seem to have something to say.

The emperor persuaded Yang Yan and comforted Luo Xi, being a good person.

Mrs. Zhuang of the Yang family looked at the letter with a smile on her face.

"Cough, cough, cough," she covered her lips with a handkerchief, and lowered her cough.

Yang Yan rushed into the room excitedly, and couldn't help but lower his face when he saw the letter on the table.

Seeing his mother smile, it must be that father who is far away in the frontier wrote the letter, tsk, I haven't come back for more than ten years, and it's lucky that his mother can wait forever, and she is still so infatuated with no regrets.

"Yan'er, come quickly," Mrs. Zhuang said softly, "Your father heard that you wanted a gift, so he specially sent you a good horse. This is a war horse tamed by the army."

Yang Yan's eyes lit up when he heard the back, "Really?"

Mrs. Zhuang nodded, her usual pale face flushed, "It's natural. And he heard that you have a good relationship with Luo Xi from the Luo family, and he also said that he had discussed it with General Luo, and you can usually get closer."

Yang Yan's expression was a little unnatural, "I didn't say I have a good relationship with him."

It's just that he feels that the same family of generals, the same father is in the frontier, and the same can see through the emperor's monkey tricks, so he is very kind and likes to stay with him.

In all fairness, Luo Xi is indeed much more interesting than the group of idiots around him.

But think about the last time Luo Xi saw him and didn't even say hello, Yang Yan couldn't help grinding his teeth, this guy doesn't know how to make fake plays for real, does he really have a problem with him?

The soldiers on the side spoke up, "The general can't come back from the frontier, and I always hope that you can have a few friends. General Yang said that Mr. Luo has a good character, kind and gentle, which is more suitable for your personality."

"It's just right, you can ask him to go to the horse race together, and you can also walk around," Mrs. Zhuang didn't pierce her son's little thoughts.

"Then mother, your body?" Yang Yan looked worried.

Mrs. Zhuang smiled helplessly, "It's not a serious problem, the doctor said, as long as you don't get frightened and troubled, and take care of yourself, nothing will happen. You can go out with peace of mind, what can happen to me at home?"

"...Okay," Yang Yan agreed, "It just so happens that Luo Xi hasn't gone out for a long time."

Luo Xi was really bored at home, she had nothing to do to tease Luo Yu and Luo Zhi, and occasionally read a few books.

When she was a child, she was given the reputation of being sick, but now in order to paralyze the emperor, Luo Xi can only "sick" from time to time, recuperating at home for ten days and a half months.

"Can't sit still at home?" Luo Shangshu looked funny, and instead of saving his tearful young son Luo Yu, he said to Luo Xi, "It's not bad to go out for a ride."

"Forget it," Luo Xi glanced outside, then withdrew her gaze, and just sighed while propping her chin.

How many "sick" people are still running horses outside in late autumn?Not afraid of catching a cold?

Just at this time, the steward came to report, "Young Master Yang and several other young masters have come to invite Second Young Master Luo to go horse racing."

Luo Xi's eyes lit up, and Luo Shangshu looked at him amusedly.

"Since he came to challenge me, I can't lose our family's reputation, so I naturally have to fight." Luo Xi quickly found a good reason for himself.

Luo Shangshu waved his hands angrily, letting him take care of himself.

Outside, Yang Yan had been waiting for a while, and when he saw Luo Xi, he just raised his head, "Let's go, let's compete."

"Since you challenged first, it's my turn to choose a place. Let's go to my racecourse." Luo Xi said casually.

In fact, Luo Xi chose his own racecourse purely because he wanted to find a safe place to chat with Yang Yan afterwards, and persuade him to avoid causing trouble in the capital. There were more and more memorials to impeach him every day.

"Okay." The two reached an agreement in an instant.

The rest of the servants naturally followed Luo Xi and Yang Yan's wishes, and they went wherever they wanted.

After hearing the news, the racecourse quickly went through a clean-up process to welcome the arrival of the two sons.

The two were originally looking for opportunities to get along in the name of a challenge, Yang Yan coughed lightly, "Don't say I bully you, for your health's sake, this time I don't set up obstacles to run, just set a simple end point .”

"Then I appreciate it," Luo Xi looked at the butler of the racecourse, "bring over the number five horse I often ride."

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his brow, "No. [-] happened to be sick yesterday, my lord, how about No. [-]? You have ridden this once in a while, and you are in good spirits recently."

"That's fine." Luo Xi was not picky, winning or losing was just a joke anyway.

The location of the racecourse is huge, and the friends Yang Yan brought with him directly filled the auditorium at one time, and they were not allowed to disturb his horse racing. The others were also used to Yang Yan's overbearing, and silently accepted it.

On the racetrack, there were only Yang Yan and Luo Xi.

As the referee waved down the flag in his hand, Yang Yan raised his whip, and the horse ran away quickly.Luo Xi quickly followed.

Yang Yandao, "I've been bored recently, and I have to find seven or eight reasons to ask you out."

Luo Xi sped up a bit, and stood side by side with Yang Yan, "Recently the border situation seems to be a little tense, and it's no wonder the emperor is nervous, please calm down."

Yang Yan dissatisfied with a soft snort, "The Emperor..."

Yang Yan skipped this topic, and instead showed Luo Xi his horse, "How about it? This is the war horse from the Yue Kingdom captured by my father in the frontier."

Luo Xi glanced at the sturdy horse, nodded and praised, "It is indeed taller than the horses bred here in the capital."

The two chatted briefly, and Yang Yan said, "You run slowly, I'll go first."

Just as he was talking, Yang Yan flicked his horsewhip, speeding up, and his smile disappeared.

When the time comes, say that he has won a game, and ask Luo Xi to treat him to dinner in front of outsiders, just in time, the next opportunity to get along has also been found.

Luo Xi slowed down a bit, the autumn wind felt a little cold on her body.

Yang Yan had surpassed Luo Xi by five horse lengths. Suddenly, Yang Yan's horse's hooves rushed forward and deviated from the runway.

"Drive—" Yang Yan's expression turned serious, and the horse suddenly lost control.

"Yang Yan!" Luo Xi was stunned, then quickly swung his whip and rushed towards Yang Yan, reaching out to him, trying to save him.

Yang Yan straightened the reins, but the horse's speed didn't drop at all.

Seeing this, the referee outside and the steward guarding the racecourse immediately yelled and asked people to lead the horses to rush over to save them.

At critical moments, Luo Xi always played better, and he quickly rushed to Yang Yan's side.Yang Yan couldn't help holding his breath, but the moment Luo Xi touched Yang Yan's finger, the horse suddenly tilted, and Luo Xi fell off the horse and hit the ground.

Before his eyes went dark, Luo Xi suddenly thought of Yang Yan's invitation, the horses sent from the frontier, and the twinkling eyes of his own racecourse steward before he fainted—someone was plotting against them.

When Luo Xi woke up again, it was already a day later.

After reluctantly drinking a bowl of medicine, she was sure that Yang Yan was still alive, but after she injured her arm and needed to recuperate, Luo Xi couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep again.

The doctor came forward to check the pulse, his face was not very good-looking, "I have a fever again."

"Hurry up and send a message to Luo Jue." Luo Shangshu smashed his cup, his lips blistered from anger, "Let him bring back the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum first, and some other tonics, otherwise Azhi will not be able to do it here." gone."

Luo Xi was still young at that time, and Luo Jue went to the frontier where there were many wars. Luo Shangshu made the decision. Except for some medicinal materials that Luo Xi needed, the rest of the important medicinal materials were packed away by Luo Jue, including various life-saving century-old Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. and other medicines.

Mrs. Wang had just sent away the imperial doctor sent by the emperor, but now she just blinked her eyes when she heard this sentence, and said, "Chang'er wrote a letter back, please sit down and read his letter."

Luo Shangshu waved his hand, feeling extremely tired, "How can I have time to read the letter at this time? You can return it for me, I want to guard Ah Zhi."

Wang's hand hidden in the sleeve slowly clenched, "You don't even care about your own son?"

Luo Shangshu looked at her in surprise, "What are you talking about? Azhi was raised by me, no different from a parent and child. Now that he is in danger, I don't have the time to care about others."

Mrs. Wang lowered her head slightly, "But the imperial doctor also said that Ah Zhi won't be able to last for a few days... Now that the letter is sent to the frontier, it will be sent over with exhaustion. It's more dangerous there."

Luo Shangshu's complexion was not very good, "Don't say such dejected words, Ah Zhi will be fine. Send a letter to Brother first, and let him know about it. I will go to the palace to ask for medicine at dawn, and other aristocratic families After a while, when the medicine from the frontier comes back, Azhi will always be able to save him.”

Mrs. Wang didn't speak any more, but looked at Luo Xi who was lying on the hospital bed with blood still oozing faintly on the gauze, her eyes gradually changed from hesitation and reluctance to firmness.

"I'll bring you a bowl of chicken soup," Wang sighed slightly, "you have to eat something if you stick to it like this, otherwise you won't be able to make it through, I'm afraid you will fall ill before Ah Zhi wakes up."

Luo Shangshu didn't say much, but just glanced at Fa's wife gratefully.

After leaving the door, Wang's face was serious, he took out a whistle from his cuff, whispered a few words, and handed it to his personal maid, urging her to go quickly.

On the outskirts of Beijing, a woman in green blew her whistle. After blowing for half an hour, she finally saw three snow-white carrier pigeons.

The homing pigeon was originally flying from Kyoto to the northwest, but it stopped when it heard the familiar whistle, and flew towards the woman in green.The woman in green twisted Xinge's neck, her eyes turned cold, and she exerted force with her right hand.

In addition to the pigeons released by the Luo family being intercepted and killed, more than a dozen bodyguards sent by Luo Shangshu went to report the news, trying to respond to Luo Jue.

"Kill the guard who sent the letter, and the letter will be burned directly." The woman in green said to the guard next to her, "Leave no survivors, and bury the traces."

Yang Yan knelt on the ground in a daze, and the sound of crying and crying came from beside him, and mourning was everywhere.

Mrs. Zhuang was not in good health, and these days she couldn't get sick to take care of him. When he could barely get out of bed, Mrs. Zhuang also couldn't get sick and passed away.

Yang Yan only had time to send all of his family's tonics to Luo Xi, and asked for a tonic from his family's dealer, so he had to start preparing for Mrs. Zhuang's funeral.

Wearing sackcloth and filial piety by himself, he naturally couldn't go to Luo's house, so Yang Yan could only occasionally send servants over to inquire a few times, asking if Luo Xi's fever had come down and recovered.

The mother died, and the friend died at the end of the day.

Yang Yan knelt on the ground to receive the imperial decree, listening to the decree, praised his mother for her merits in managing the house and raising her children, and hatred arose in her heart for the first time.

He hated his father for easily plotting against him, the one who hated the palace even made a fuss about his own mother's death, hated himself even more for being incompetent, and instead dragged everyone into the game.

If one day——

After reading the decree, the inner eunuch wiped away the tears that did not exist, and said, "Young Master Yang, Your Majesty always misses you. If the ministers did not dissuade you, Your Majesty will come to comfort you in person. Now that Mrs. Zhuang passed away suddenly, Your Majesty I am very concerned about the young master, so I specially asked me to ask a question or two."

Yang Yan pulled out a blunt smile, thanked His Majesty for the reward to the eunuch, and suppressed all the resentment in his heart.

In the Luo family, Luo Shangshu has not waited for Luo Jue's letter, and the imperial doctor is already urging, "Looking at it now, you can survive until tomorrow without medicine. If you can get a dose of tiger wolf medicine, there may be a [-]% chance of saving your son. life."

Even the ingredients for this tiger and wolf medicine were sent by the Yang family, and Luo Shangshu gave up his face to go to other aristocratic families in Kyoto to ask for them.

Luo Shangshu sent someone to deliver a letter to Luo Jue again, and rubbed the center of his eyebrows tiredly, "...let's take medicine."

[-]% chance, always take a gamble.

When Luo Xi woke up again, Luo Shangshu had just gone to rest and drank the medicine. Luo Xi was in good spirits, and was just asking about things outside.

Knowing that he had been lying down for half a month and there was no news from the frontier, Luo Xi remained calm, but the coldness in his eyes grew more and more.

When Luo Shangshu came, Luo Xi looked at him, "Uncle, I want to go to Jiangnan to recuperate."

Luo Shangshu was still delighted that Luo Xi had woken up safely, but when he heard this, he immediately refused, "No, what's wrong with being at home?"

"Uncle, I want to go," Luo Xi said with a gentle yet indifferent smile, "I almost died once, why don't I go to Jiangnan Qingjing for a few years?"

Luo Shangshu didn't speak.

It was night, and there were a few lights in the room to illuminate, but they couldn't dispel all the darkness.It is clearly the familiar Luo Mansion, but there is an invisible darkness and silk screen hidden underneath, which seems to envelop everyone in it.

"...Okay," Luo Shangshu closed his eyes, "I will ask for an order for you, and I will go there in fifteen days."

Luo Xi recovered a lot when he left, and he was followed by several doctors and a cart full of medicinal materials.

The capital is exceptionally quiet, and there are far fewer dandies who like to ride horses and roam the streets on weekdays. Seeing the paper money scattered on the ground, Luo Xi coughed a few times and asked the servant, "Which family did someone die?"

The servant gave Luo Xi an embarrassing look, and said in a low voice, "It's Mrs. Zhuang from the Yang family, and it happens to be sending off the spirit today."

The autumn wind was rustling, and Luo Xi felt a little cold in the carriage.

Now this serious illness, Luo Xi's body is much weaker, and she started to use Tang Pozi in late autumn.

Stretching out her hand to twirl the fox fur on the shelf next to it, Luo Xi lowered her eyes and said, "Follow the team and send it to Yang Yan, just say I sent it."

The servant was taken aback, "Yes."

Yang Yan, who was seeing off the spirit at the front of the line, couldn't help but look back when he saw this fox fur.

I saw a convoy slowly leaving in the opposite direction.

Luo Jue drove for ten days overnight, his eyes were bloodshot, and three horses died of exhaustion before he returned to the capital from the frontier.On the outskirts of Beijing, he changed his makeup slightly, got into a caravan, quietly entered the city, and entered the side door of Luo's house.

"How is Ah Zhi?" Luo Jue didn't have time to drink tea, and went straight into Luo Xi's yard, but didn't see a few people, and rushed into Luo Shangshu's study.

"Alive, not dead," Luo Shangshu said unhappily, and threw him another leaflet, motioning him to read it for himself, "He went to Jiangnan to recuperate, and he probably won't want to come back these few years."

At this time and the speed of returning... Luo Shangshu feels a headache when he thinks about Luo Xi's indifference before leaving.

Luo Jue glanced at the booklet and saw that it was written that Luo Xi was seriously ill and went to Jiangnan to recuperate, not died of a serious illness, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Shangshu asked someone to clean up the traces left by Luo Jue, and asked, "Why are you back? It's still so late?"

Luo Jue's face was not very good-looking, but he just shook his head and didn't speak.

"I'll go to Jiangnan to see him," Luo Jue said, turning around to leave.

Luo Shangshu grabbed him, his face turned dark, "Are you crazy?"

"You are a frontier general, and you are not allowed to return to Beijing without an order!"

"It's enough to be missing for ten days and a half months. I don't know how long it will take you to go to Jiangnan. Can you waste time?"

"Since you care about him, why didn't he write a letter back during the half month of his illness?"

Luo Shangshu became more and more angry, "What's the use of you going to Jiangnan now? It's been so long, if the emperor finds out that you have returned secretly, Luo Xi will lose his life."

Luo Jue had a cold face, of course he knew what Luo Shangshu said was right.

But the more you know, the more uncomfortable you are.

"Ask someone to go and see him, my people will go with your people," Luo Shangshu sighed, "Hurry up and go back to the frontier."

Luo Jue was silent for a long time, and said: "...OK."

Luo Xi has already settled down in Jiangnan. In her own village, Luo Xi spends most of her time drinking medicine and reading in the house, and rarely goes out.

The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is always light and rainy. With winter coming, there are still a few thunderclaps today, and occasionally a bolt of lightning cuts across the sky.

Luo Xi was about to pick out the lanterns with a needle when a servant came to report, "My lord, someone is here from the capital."

"I don't see it," Luo Xi continued to study the lantern in front of him without changing his face.

Outside the house, there was just the sound of thunder, and the heavy rain poured down majesticly.

The servant was a little embarrassed and said, "My lord, the person here is the housekeeper of the Luo Mansion. He said that there are also people from the frontier who came with him, and they were specially sent by the second master to visit you."

Luo Xi put down the needle in her hand, picked up the warm handkerchief and wiped her hands, "Then you ask him for me, it has been two and a half months since I fell off the horse. Today, two and a half months later, at this time Come here, is he going to visit me, or come to visit my grave?"

The servant who was going to speak for them fell silent instantly.

"Throw all the things and people out," Luo Xi extinguished the lights, "I won't see you again, let them go quickly."
