Chapter 43 Chapter 43(1/2)

Gao Huan was dejected and was taken away by Gao Yin.

After the brothers left, Luo Shen could no longer sit still. He was so confused that he immediately stood up and came to Xiao Yongjia.

The La Day is coming soon, and on that day, people at that time will offer a great sacrifice to the gods and ancestors, which is one of the important festivals of the year.

Xiao Yongjia and Aju and several other servants were discussing many sacrifices, but suddenly they saw the God of Luo River breaking in and asked her nonsense.

"My grandma, Li Mu's trip is a good fortune. You should know why he didn't mention a single sentence before me?"

The room became quiet and the servants looked at her one after another.

Aju hurried forward and held Luo Shen's hand. She smiled and said, "The eldest princess is busy with things, so why not go out first."

Luo Shen took off Aju and looked at his mother.

Xiao Yongjia frowned and signaled everyone to go out.

"I did know it early in the morning. I just thought that this matter had nothing to do with you, so I never asked you to know."

"What's wrong?"

She looked at her daughter and raised her eyebrows.

Luo Shen looked at his mother's calm appearance and suddenly, he understood.

"My grandma, you took me back to Jiankang that day, don't you plan to let me go back?"

"yes."

Xiao Yongjia's tone was still faint.

"Since you have returned, why bother to return?"

Luo Shen looked at his mother, remained silent for a long time, and slowly said, "If Li Mu died in this battle, I will stay at home with just a legitimate reputation. If he survived by chance, he would definitely be ruined. Then life and death will be taken away, but it will be only within your words, let alone separation from him."

"My mother, what I said is right?"

Xiao Yongjia was stunned, and a hint of annoyance quickly appeared in his expression.

"Ami, my mother really doesn't know what you are thinking about? Don't say that you were forced to marry, because Li Mu was involved in it, and the two families in Gaolu broke up, and you lost a good marriage. Gao was so embarrassed! He said you were married, but it was only more than a month. Why did I pick you up that day? What's wrong with this result now? Do you still want to go back? What do you do when you go back? Wearing a thick dress, a bad skirt, living in a shabby alley, tile house, and spun a hand to get rid of it, so that you can get a virtuous and ridiculous reputation?"

She snorted.

"It wasn't us who forced him to this point, but he was seeking death! He caused you first and then refused your father's good intention to call him. Everything was all his own! Now that you are back, no matter whether he is dead or alive in the future, my mother will not ask you to go back to that place again!"

Luo Shen looked at his mother calmly, and slowly, a crystal clear tears appeared under his eyes.

When Xiao Yongjia saw that his daughter was crying, he was furious.

"What, do you really want to put aside the Gao family and go back to Jingkou to serve that family with the so-called absurd thought of one's fate? I absolutely do not allow it! From today on, you will stay at home for me and you will not be allowed to go anywhere! If you tell me that you have something to do with the Li family in secret, don't blame me for being rude to the Li family!"

Tears in his eyes rolled down suddenly.

Luo Shen wiped his tears and shook his head.

"My mother, you are wrong! As you said, it's only only a month since I got married to the Li family. No matter how kind the Li family treats me, how can I be as good as my parents' kindness? I married before, but I was forced. Why would I refuse to take me back now if you can bring me back? I just don't understand. When I got married, it was all your arrangements. When the matter was about to come, I knew. Now that I'm back, you won't say to me in advance! What is Ami in Aye's eyes? This time you come to pick me up. If you explain to me first and ask me to sue Li's mother before leaving, why wouldn't it be possible? With the power of Gao, you want to take me back. Could it be that she was seeking death and forcibly let me go?"

Xiao Yongjia was speechless for a moment and couldn't respond. Seeing her daughter constantly wiping tears, her tears kept rolling down her cheeks like broken pearls. She had never seen her so sad before, and she suddenly became panicked again.

"Ami Mother really doesn't know where your anger comes from. Isn't it all for your own good?"

She walked towards Luoshen and reached out to hug her.

Luo Shen turned around and covered his face and ran back to his house in a surprised gaze outside the door, closed the door, and threw himself on the pillow, closed his eyes, and tears kept flowing.

From the day when she learned about the proposal of the general of Jaehuang, when Brother Lu left, she was forced to get married with a fear and determination. Today, she was brought back to her parents' disagreement in this way. For many years, she had been mixed with her own confusion and suffering.

All the grievances, regrets, and resentment accumulated in the heart were all rolling out with tears.

There were constant sounds of slapping the door outside the door, mixed with Xiao Yongjia's anxious call.

Luo Shen turned a deaf ear to his ears, just kept crying and cried silently until he was tired of crying, and then he slowly stopped.

It was getting dark. There was no light in the room, and it was dim.

"Ami!Ami!"

It was quiet outside for a moment, and suddenly, Aye's call came in, full of anxiety.

"If you don't open the door, Aye will break the door!

"Aye, I'm fine! Let me be quiet alone!"

Luo Shen lay in the darkness and responded in a hoarse voice.

My ears became quiet again.

The world has finally been purified.

Luo Shen closed his eyes and lay alone on the bed, not knowing whether he was asleep or awake. After a long time, in the middle of the night, he slowly sat up, lit the light himself, sat on the dressing table, sorted out his messy bun in front of the mirror, tidied up his clothes, and finally opened the door.

Xiao Yongjia and Aju and the others were still waiting outside her door.

Seeing that she finally showed up, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ami, what happened to you? You scared my mother to death-"

Xiao Yongjia's eyes were red, and he called out his daughter, his voice trembling.

"My mother, I'm fine."

Luo Shen smiled at her.

"Where is Aye? I want to see him."

In the study, silver candles have a high fever.

Gao Qiao's face was thin and his eyebrows were deeply locked. He looked at his daughter, whose eyes were still red and swollen, and smiled on her face and told her to sit down.

Luo Shen shook his head and stood still.

"My daughter knew that Aye was busy, so she just said a few words and left after she said it."

Gao Qiao's eyes were loving and nodded: "Listen to Aye."

"Aye must know better than me about Li Mu's ability. It is a matter of rescuing Adi audaciousness in the battle of Jiangbei. He was able to lead a vanguard army and win five battles and wins. He is a good fight. Such a valiant courage and good fight is unprecedented. If he is gone, looking at the court, can Aye find a second person like him?"

Gao Qiao didn't expect his daughter to look for him and said such words, and was stunned.

"I know that the court disputes, Aye is in it, and he has no choice but to make choices and trades. His daughter dare not judge right and wrong. But his daughter once read Mencius with her brothers. He said that it is easy for the world to be with others, but it is difficult for the world to be with others. Bole is always there, but good horses can be met but hard to find. Gao's name is everywhere, and Aye is respected as his minister. What is the prime minister? The country's important weapon and the people look forward to! Who has no father and who has no mother? Since Aye is in the prime minister, his daughter dared to ask Aye, if Dayu loses such a brave general because of his personal grudges, he will kill the six thousand soldiers sent to fight with him to die in vain. Aye, you really don't feel sorry, do you really have a clear conscience?"

Gao Qiao looked at his daughter, and his brows spread out and frowned again. However, he was silent and said nothing.

"Aye, I know that your only long-cherished wish in your life is to fight the Central Plains and restore both capitals. When Aye was young, he fought for it, but he was unable to fulfill his ambitions and returned home after a defeat. Over the years, although Aye has never mentioned the old things again in front of others, I do not believe that Aye has no regrets. The emperor's uncle can use Li Mu and Aye's talents, isn't that as good as his uncle? Why can't he use him as a sword to plan another northern expedition in the future? Aye, you are not old and have ambitions from that time, but now you have gone early?"

"Due to the dispute between the various families, my daughter lost her eldest brother of the Lu family and ruined her good marriage. Now she has only been married for more than a month, and she is about to become a widow again. My daughter is only a woman, and the rest of her life is only related to me, and it doesn't matter. But Li Mu is not an ordinary person, and he is left behind. How can he know that he cannot become the sword of the country in the future?"

Tears gradually shone in Luo Shen's eyes.

"Aye, I know your and Ah Niang's plan. This time I take me home, no matter whether Li Mu dies or lives in this battle, I will not ask me to go back in the future. This is okay. Marrying him is not my wish, I will listen to Ah Niang's arrangement. But Li Mu's life and death matters, Ami sincerely begs Ah Ye and reconsider. His mother, blind and is now at home, waiting for him to return."

She burst into tears, knelt solemnly towards her father, and after kowtowing, she stood up and walked away quickly.

Gao Qiao sat behind the desk, his eyes fixed in the direction where the daughter's back disappeared. After a long time, his brows frowned and motionless.

That night, the candles in Gao Qiao's study were all night long.

At dawn, Gao Yun and Gao Yin received the news and hurried to see him. Seeing that his cheeks were high and his eyes were bleeding, he seemed to be sleepless again last night, so he advised him a few words.

"Don't worry, uncle, my sixth brother has been favored. At this time, I will never ask him to cause trouble."

Gao Qiao nodded and asked, "Where is Li Mu's march now? Is there any news?"

"Three days ago, the spy reported that he had arrived in the Danqu area of ​​the Fujiang River and was only a few days away from Yuancheng, a major military camp in Yuanjie."

Gao Qiao pondered for a long time and looked at Gao Yun.

"Second brother, how many soldiers are there in your hands now?"

"There are wars in the north now, and Guangling is in a tight position, so we must not make any mistakes. We must garrison heavily. If we say that it is available, only 20,000 troops stationed in Lujiang can be mobilized. My brother asked this, what do you mean?"

Gao Yun was a little puzzled.

"Zi'an!"

Gao Qiao looked at Gao Yin.

"You lead the tiger talisman, quickly cross the river, lead 20,000 troops in Lujiang, and quickly go to Ba County to help the war. It is urgent, so I will leave today!"

Gao Yun and Gao Yin were both surprised.

Gao Yin hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

Gao Yun immediately said, "Brother, what do you mean? Why did you suddenly increase your troops? The cause of this battle was all due to Xu Mi's instigation. Your Majesty was absurd. My Gao family has produced three thousand soldiers and horses, and it is a complete righteousness, so I just treat it as if I have gone and never returned. My brother is now in reinforcements, not to mention defeat, losing troops and losing generals, and destroying reputation. It is harmful to Gao family but not profitable. Even if you win by chance, how can you calculate the credit? Your Majesty, not only does not accept my Gao family's feelings, I am afraid that my Gao family will have other plans! What's more,"

He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Your Majesty is now afraid of my Gao family's true love! You and I have not won the merits in the previous battle in Jiangbei! Now, this muddy water, why should I go to the Gao family again!"

Gao Qiao closed his eyes, as if he had entered into meditation. After a long time, he opened his phoenix eyes, his eyes were clear and clear.

"Second brother, with my hope of being in the Gao family, even if it is a day when I have to retire, no matter how bad you and I can earn a farmer, and your descendants can earn a fortune. However, if the country is not a country, why is the family there? Years of disputes over the family have caused great harm and have caused me a lot of trouble. I have decided, don't say more!"

The gentry members highly advocated the status of the head of the family, and they all adopted the head of the family as their name for everything. In order to ensure that the family power can be extended, when choosing an heir, the wise head of the family may not necessarily choose their own sons, brothers, nephews, and those who are capable of it have always been like this.

Gao Qiao led the Gao family for many years and pushed Gao to his current status. He spoke like this and made a final decision. Even though Gao Yun was reluctant, how could he argue with him again? He continued silently.
To be continued...
