Chapter 159 Meet the battlefield

At night, the silence in the prefect's palace was even more than the past.

The blood inside and outside the palace has been cleared, but there are obviously fewer guards and waiters inside and outside the palace walls. Even if they are busy like gyroscopes, it will not make the palace look more popular.

In the hall, the new prefect discussed important matters with the six important officials. Later, Gao Shixian was asked to come out, leaving only Qianxue and the young female Taoist. He had to wait at the door to wait and call at any time. Except for some waiters who wanted to trot over from time to time and lowered their voices and asked about things, there was not much action.

He seemed to be standing there calmly, but he was quickly recalling all the things and details that happened in this day. He was full of thoughts. Suddenly, another person approached him. When he looked back, it was Cao Man.

After Cao Man looked around carefully, he said in a voice that only Gao Shixian could hear, "Entertainment Father, I have something important to tell you."

Gao Shixian glanced at the bright lights in the hall and tilted his head to the side of the hall. The two of them walked to the secluded corner tacitly, "If you have anything to do, I'll just say it. Tonight, my father will only follow the prefect and stay with him, and there is not much time."

Cao Man looked around again before carefully taking out a bloody letter from his arms and handing it over, "Enjoyed Father, this is the daytime... The letter Cao Shiqing gave me before his death said that he must hand it over to the prefect in person, you see..."

Gao Shixian looked up, took the envelope and looked it over and over again and asked, "Have you read the contents of this letter?"

Cao Man shook his head quickly, "Absolutely not!"

Gao Shixian looked at him and nodded, and buckled his long nails. He opened the envelope under Cao Man's shocked gaze. He took out the letter and read it quickly, then took out the fire note he carried with him, and burned the letter!!

"This letter has never been in this world, do you understand?" Gao Shixian threw the ashes of the completely burned letter paper aside indifferently and let it dissipate with the wind. He glanced at Cao Man and said, "Also, there are people who may see or hear you take this letter in the day... tell me."

Cao Man's forehead was filled with cold sweat, and he nodded and said something, before leaving under Gao Shixian's comfort.

Gao Shixian returned to the hall without any concern and continued to stand there without any expression.

It seems like nothing has happened.

When the night was getting deeper, a group of six important officials left the prefect's palace under the escort of the Blood Cavalry.

Luo Chuan asked Gao Shixian to bring some food, and sat on the wide steps in front of the prefect's palace hall with Qianxue and the young girl and ate.

"When I was in Zhongjing City, my small courtyard installed all my childhood. Outside the courtyard wall, there was the largest human city that seemed to be endless in my life. Inside the courtyard wall, it was home." Luo Chuan was chewing an extra tough cake, while looking at the empty palace square in front of him, thinking in his heart that if you play football in this place, it would be a good feeling. "Now that I have returned to Licheng, the entire Lijun has become the big home that Siqi wants. But I think this Licheng, this prefect palace, is not as reassuring as the small courtyard in Zhongjing City. The walls of the palace here are towering, the city walls of Licheng City are thick, with more than 10,000 defenders and 300,000 troops from all directions and six armies, and still the same."

The young woman was eating quietly, as if she had heard nothing.

Qianxue took over the topic and said with a smile, "If I hadn't gone to Zhongjing City, you are still there now, would you still think that small yard is safe enough?"

"Of course," Luo Chuan raised his chin and said, "If I became the only proton who had not left Zhongjing City after the new emperor ascended the throne, would that little emperor have given me a serious and nice official position? Maybe he would have to introduce me to a young princess and call me a princess," he did not make the two women laugh, but he laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth. After enough laughter, he looked up to the north. "Zhongjing City, that's a place where people in the city may still do whatever they should do. Nine hundred years have long made the people there forget what war is."

"Today, I think you should stay in Licheng for a few more days. The governance of the entire Licheng is different from the governance of Cangyan. If you don't give a clear attitude to many things, the people below dare not really make their own decisions, so things will still not work," Qianxue pointed to the guards patrolling the city wall not far away. "Just like this Prefect's Palace, there were no such few people patrolling the city wall in the past. It was just that there were too many people missing in this disaster. But even if Gao Shixian knew that such actions would cause huge loopholes in the overall defense of the Prefect's Palace, he would not dare to fill in the staff in private. He could only maintain the status quo. If the official system of Licheng was like this, can you go north with peace of mind?"

"Yes, I have to," Luochuan said firmly, "Now I am bringing troops here. I am dependent on the blood of the yard. This kind of thing is shocking for a while but not for a lifetime. I don't have time to slowly get along with the civil and military officials in the court like my ancestors and parents. Besides, I am different from my father. He hopes to sit in the city for a long time and rule the world, but I don't want to do so. Now this era does not allow me to do this. So from the beginning, I must give the Lijun court a clear attitude, that is, my Luochuan's tooth

The throne is not about leaving the city, but on the back of the war horses, wherever my war horse goes, it is the prefect palace. I don’t care at all those things that all the world will pay attention to ascend to the throne ceremony, but I definitely care about those things that the people lack food, such as those who are short of food, such as those who are short of money, so those who can take responsibility and make decisions will have a bigger stage. Those who cannot bear responsibility, have no plans and dare not make decisions will have to leave the chairs under their butts. This is inevitable."

After eating the last bit of cake in his hand, he got up and walked out a few steps, and then patted the soil on the cloak behind him, "These things are not possible by sitting on the throne of the prefect of Licheng Palace. When you open your mouth, there are countless mouths waiting to refute you. I have no confidence that I can talk about them. In particular, I have to make people willing to do what you want. It is too difficult, so I might as well put all these things aside and lead them to the old chapter. There will always be no problem. When the news of the northern battlefield is unstoppable, I will return to Licheng with the power of victory. When I return to Licheng with the power of great victory, they will do whatever I want."

Qianxue thought for a while, then nodded, "It makes sense, but the premise is that you have to win the series of battles in the north."

"I don't know if I can win, nor do I know whether I will take the initiative strategically or be trapped in the quagmire. These all depend on the subsequent reactions of all parties, just like playing chess, with the result only when there is a comedy, but I am very curious and look forward to it," Luo Chuan's eyes were bright. He raised his hand, clenched his fists, and let go, and repeated this, "A few months ago, I was the most insignificant little character in the eyes of the world. Now, I can make everyone in the world look at me, so what about a few months later?"

Qianxue shook her head and did not respond to his words, but turned around and looked in the direction of the harem, "If you want to leave tomorrow, you will go to the harem tonight to see him."

Luo Chuan nodded after a moment of silence, but said nothing, because when he saw the gate of the palace opened, the old coachman Luo Jiang led a group of coalition generals to strode.

Luo Jiang and others walked to the steps and knelt on one knee to salute, "I pay homage to the prefect!"

"All get up," Luo Chuan said, and walked down the steps and came to everyone, "How is it, what's the situation in the city?"

Luo Jiang said, "Today, the battle only encountered some rebels fighting to the death near the two city gates in the north and south. The result was no suspense. Except for a few surrenders who were taken to the military camp, the rest of the rebels had no survivors. The rebel general Lu Yinbao died in the mansion without a complete body. The military camps at the east and west gates surrendered under the leadership of two commanders of the garrison troops of the city and are now here."

While he said, he asked Shen Jun to take two men tied tightly with ropes behind the team to Luo Chuan to kneel down.

"Prince Prefecture, please spare your life. Two subordinates were deceived by the rebel general Lu Yinbao. It was not until the prefect led the Lijun Light Cavalry to pass the city and then learned that they had been plotted. So today, he decisively returned to Licheng today. The garrison army led the people to surrender. The prefecture clearly explained that the two subordinates were from military families and loyal to the prefect and the Lijun for generations, but they had never rebelled..." The older two were crying.

"Get up," Luo Chuan raised his hand, and then went behind them to help them untie the ropes, and then knelt down in emotion, "My father walked suddenly, there were so many long-planned rebellions. I naturally believed in your loyalty, otherwise why would it be? But... no matter what the reason you are doing, you have violated the biggest taboo in the world. If I don't touch your family, I don't want your lives. I will cooperate with General Luo to do a follow-up team reorganization, even if you two make up for the merits."

When the two of them heard this, they didn't even say anything, but they just kept kowtowing.

Luo Chuan then went to see the four people behind Luo Jiang. They were the young heroes sent from all sides of the battlefield in this coalition. They were all as tall as a mountain. "You have made great contributions to suppress the rebellion this time. The rewards from the Military Affairs Office will be sent to you soon. When Luo Zheng completed the military reorganization, the troops will be reorganized quickly. Next time you meet again, you will be on the battlefield that you are most familiar with." He looked to the north, and felt a sense of pride in his heart, "I want to see who can be my champion among the four of you and the few people in the north!"

The young generals saluted together and shouted, "I will live up to the expectations of the prefect!"

After Luo Chuan encouraged himself a few more words, the young generals retreated. When only he, Luo Jiang, Qianxue and the young girl were left here, he sighed, "I still have to see him."

Luo Jiang nodded and said, "The harem is under control, and the people from the Ancient Tribe have arrived. Except for some mice who escaped early when they see the opportunity, the rest of the uncertainty that should be cleaned up... have been cleaned up."

Luo Chuan stood up and called Gao Shixian to lead the way, and walked towards the harem with Luo Jiang and others under the escort of blood cavalry.

The harem of the Prefect's Palace covers a huge area, and various courtyards seem to be closely linked. Anyway, Luochuan, who was walking in the first time, would feel like entering a maze, but at least half of the harems now have no light in them. The intrigues or other things that have been staged here seem to have sunk into history with this incident.

Gao Shixian finally took everyone to stop at the entrance of a huge courtyard, closely guarded by nearly a hundred guards and waiters. Luo Chuan gave a few instructions, and everyone, including Gao Shixian and a group of blood, stayed outside the courtyard, and only Luo Chuan, Luo Jiang, Qianxue and the young female Taoist, entered it.

The courtyard was very dark, and there was only a small light in the hall in the center, which shone out outside the door. The door was open, as if the family members who were waiting for the night returned, without any concern about the invasion of the cold.

Luo Chuan walked into the hall and saw a young man with chapped lips and eyes sitting alone on a chair opposite the door. He didn't even look at the few people coming in, but was just dazed and depressed.

Without getting close to him, Luo Chuan stood in the middle of the hall and looked at him silently for a long time.

It was not until the boy finally looked up at him and smiled that Luo Chuan slowly spoke, "My father asked me for my letter, let me give you peace and wealth for a lifetime."

The young man sneered and murmured, "He probably really regarded peace and wealth as a gift. When you came back to Lecheng, didn't he promise you the same way? He even asked me to take care of you. Now he wants to come..." He sneered and did not continue to speak.

Luo Chuan continued expressionlessly, "This is the only request in his long letter to me, so I agreed," he paused for a while before continuing, "but the premise is that at least in the past few years, you must obey my arrangements."

The boy lowered his head to look at the floor, his smile was very light, "My father is gone, and my mother...is gone. Now I am the only brother in this world. The guard leader at the door said that if you don't kill me, I should be grateful, let alone just obey your arrangements? Listen, I have to listen, even if you let me kneel on the ground like a dog and kowtow to you... I have to listen!!"

Luo Chuan clenched his fists, but still made his voice look the same as before. He said the word "good", turned around and took two steps and stopped, "You are sixteen years old this year, your parents are gone, I can understand you, but I, my parents are gone when I was three years old, can you understand? You hate everything now, but do I cause everything now? You can hate, but think about who you should hate and what you should hate, at least, you should hate like a man from the Luo family!"

He strode away, leaving only one sentence, "After the matter of leaving the city, Jiang Bo will take you to Ganyuan. You have something right, I am your brother, you have to listen to me!"
