There was deathly silence in the main hall of the prefect's palace.
The ministers on both sides didn't even dare to whisper to each other this time. They just stood silently with bated breath, looking at their noses and hearts. No one wanted to pick up the conversation at all.
A dark-faced man who was ranked higher among the generals walked out of the queue silently and knelt in the hall with fists in his hands, saying nothing.
The superior eunuch ignored him. He just leaned forward, stared at Luochuan and asked again, with a serious tone, "Does anyone dare to... stop you from going home?"
Luo Chuan looked back at the prefect calmly, the smile on his face not changing at all, "They are just sergeants who are loyal to their duties. The prefect does not need to embarrass them."
"Oh," the prefect no longer tensed up but slowly leaned back into the huge chair, looking at Luo Chuan with an unclear look, "Since my son said they are loyal to their duties, I think it would be more suitable for them to come to the southern frontline.
"His eyes left Luo Chuan's face for the first time and fell on the kneeling black-faced man, "Lu Yinbao, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand," the black-faced man replied and made a sound with his head on the hard stone floor.
The Lord Prefect glanced at the ministers in the audience before looking at the old coachman standing next to Luo Chuan, "Luo Jiang, when you come back this time, please stay in the Prefect's Mansion."
The old coachman bowed and said, "Master Taishou, I am getting old. It is inevitable that I will not be able to serve you in the Taishou Mansion. In the remaining years, I just want to drive and lead the young master's horse. I will go wherever the young master goes. That's it."
Already."
The prefect looked at the old man dressed as a coachman and then at Luochuan. He remained silent again. After a while, he looked at Li Mu who was behind them and said, "Li Mu and the people from the Uehara Army will escort the young master back to the city this time."
I will remember all your merits, and your generals will naturally carry out your military merits, so please go on."
Everyone saluted and thanked them, and then Baijiang Dahan and the others withdrew, but Li Mu stayed where he was and saluted and said, "Master Taishou, this time I escorted the young master back and there were many bumps in the road, among which..."
The Lord Prefect waved his hand again before Li Mu finished speaking, "I know everything, please go down."
Li Mu had no choice but to bow and retreat.
The door of the palace was slowly closed. Although the windows could let in light, the light in the entire palace was still dim. The prefect's voice seemed to be a little tired, "My son has been a hostage for many years. You said it's not hard to be a father, but you have to."
I find it hard. Naturally, I will not let you go back to Zhongjing when you return to Lijun this time. Although Lijun is not as prosperous as Zhongjing, you can find a peaceful place where you can live a peaceful and prosperous life..." He looked at Luo
Chuan's eyes softened slightly, "You can still do it as a father."
The hall was eerily quiet for a while. All the ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to make any sound.
Luo Chuan glanced at the back of the upright young man who was at the head of the list of civil servants, and then bowed and saluted the prefect, "This is what I wish for. Once I came out of the capital after living in the capital for a long time, I thought that the sky was high and the sea was vast, and I could travel to all directions.
I traveled all over the world, but I didn’t expect it to be a childish idea after all. The return trip made me feel heavy, long and boring. It’s really better to be a rich and idle person. The prefect’s arrangement is the best.”
"That's good," the prefect's voice was still calm, "there have been constant wars in the southern part of Li County for many years, and there are many affairs in the north and Ganyuan. As a father, after much thought, only Cangyan is the most suitable for you, so I intend to name you Cangyan County.
Guard, the generals of the Cangyan Army are naturally responsible for military affairs in the West, and there are some people who can let them handle the daily governance as usual. In addition, the Cangyan Mountain lineage has always been on good terms with my Luo family, so there are not many things that you need to worry about.
how do you feel?"
"Your Excellency, I am very grateful for your thoughtful consideration." Luo Chuan bowed and saluted again, then immediately changed his voice and said sincerely, "I will devote my whole life to benefiting the people of Cangyan."
The prefect raised his eyebrows subtly, as if he was a little surprised, but also seemed to understand a little, and continued, "Cangyan City is located in the center of the Cangyan Basin. I also visited there when I was young, although many years ago
I haven’t gone back, but I think it won’t change much. I have sent someone to buy a house for you in Cangyan City. All the affairs have been arranged properly. There will also be a batch of belongings for you when you leave the city.
, as a reward for your service to Li County as a hostage for many years, as for the days before you left...since you are an adult, you will temporarily live outside the mansion, and someone will take care of you."
Luochuan bowed to thank him, and the prefect looked at the young man at the head of the list of civil servants and said softly, "Yun'er, you should take more care of your brother these days. He has been away from Lijun for too many years, don't let him
I feel alienated." He took another deep look at the young man and said word by word, "Your brother will still have to be taken care of by you in the future..."
"Father, don't worry," the young man went out to salute, his voice was clear and loud, resounding throughout the palace, "Yun'er will definitely take good care of your brother!"
For the first time, a smile appeared on the face of the prefect. He nodded and said, "Okay, okay," he looked at Luochuan again and said, "It will take another three to five days for my son to be appointed as the official magistrate of Cangyan County.
, I will follow Yun'er to visit Li City in these days. It will not be easy to come back after being a guard, so you brothers should stay close to each other."
Luochuan and the two bowed in salute.
The prefect's eyes swept over his two sons and then landed on the old coachman. "Luo Jiang, since you want to follow him, then you can follow him, but I will restore you to the position of general." He waved his hand to stop the old coachman.
He continued, "I won't arrange any military affairs for you. I just want to receive the salary of a general. I will let you live in comfort. This is what I owe you."
The old coachman looked at the governor's lips and opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed and stopped talking.
The prefect pointed at Siqi and asked, "Are you Siqi?"
Siqi, who was mentioned for the first time since entering the palace, quickly saluted and said, "To the prefect, this little girl is Siqi."
"What's your last name?" the prefect asked again.
Siqi raised his head and glanced at his young master's back, lowered his head and whispered, "Last name... surname is Luo..."
The eunuch's gaze fell on Luo Chuan's face, but he could not see any change in the latter's expression. He turned around and continued to say to Siqi, "When your young master leaves, I will give him a guard Qingqi. I heard that you are a second
For a cultivator in this realm, a guard commander can still do a good job. If you have been by his side all these years, you have always done a good job in guarding him."
Siqi raised his head again, glanced at his young master's back, and saluted, "Siqi thanks the prefect."
The prefect waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and then glanced at the ministers, his face slowly darkened. After a while, when some ministers noticed something strange and raised their heads to look at him, he said in a cold tone, "It's done.
The reward for my son, next... let us talk about the bad things he encountered on his way back home!!"
