Luo Chuan stayed at Lu Mansion again. After traveling for many days, he finally took a bath and washed himself, and spent the whole night meditating in a clean and tidy room.
In the early morning, before the sun had risen, he was already energetic enough to get dressed and go out. He jumped onto the roof and faced the east with his hands behind his back. He didn't pinch his hands until the red sun was about to rise and the purple mist appeared.
The secret is to let out the old and bring in the new. When the breath of the whole body is released and closed, the air around it will rise billowingly.
Like mist steaming.
He opened his eyes, stretched out greatly, smiled at a middle-aged woman in the courtyard who had been waiting for some time with a tray, and jumped off the roof amidst the latter's exclamations.
"Master Prefect, you..." The middle-aged woman came to her senses after being startled, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You scared me."
Luo Chuan laughed and took the tray from the middle-aged woman, then walked to the stone table in the courtyard and said, "Aunt, why are you doing this? I am also a monk in the third realm of middle school after all. This roof is only ten feet long, so why bother."
The middle-aged woman followed Luo Chuan and did not answer. She seemed a little embarrassed. She waited until he sat down before sitting down on the other side of the stone table. She saw that Luo Chuan had already taken away the porridge, vegetables and cakes on the tray without politeness.
As he ate it in his hand, he smiled and just stared at Luo Chuan's face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Luochuan seemed to be really hungry. He was engrossed in eating and didn't even notice the middle-aged woman's movements. He waited until he had finished eating a large cake, and then drank the entire bowl of light meat porridge.
He leaned back and let out a comfortable breath, "I found that except for the prefect's palace in Li City, the food in Li County is all to my liking."
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him. She had no makeup, her hair had grown out, and she could not be said to have any charm at all. She could only be considered an ordinary person in terms of facial features and figure, even though she was dressed in brocade and beaded hairpins.
The materials are all good, but they can't make her look any more extraordinary. She is really ordinary to the extreme.
But such a woman was the wife of Lu Dongfeng, a famous general in Central Continent, and the mother of Lu Sifan, who was astonishing in talent, talent and appearance.
Thinking of this, Luochuan couldn't help but think of Lu Tieshan, who might still be eating dirt in the mountains of southern Xinjiang. He was already a little puzzled and had some darker thoughts in his heart.
"Sifan can make all these things," the middle-aged woman looked at Luochuan with a smile, "If the prefect misses the taste of Taiming in the future, just ask Sifan to cook it for you."
"That's good," Luo Chuan smiled, then took the still warm wet towel from the tray and wiped his hands, "Is Tieshan back today?"
"Not yet," the middle-aged woman said calmly, without any twists and turns, "Normally it takes longer for the cavalry to enter the mountain. Recently, the general has asked the scout team to go further. The earliest they want to come back is early morning the day after tomorrow.
, if something delays it again, it will be even later."
Luo Chuan couldn't help but be a little surprised and said, "Auntie also knows something about military affairs?" He smiled again as soon as he finished speaking, "That's right, even ordinary people who have been with General Lu for a long time will understand a little bit, not to mention
It's aunt."
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "The general never talks to us about military affairs. These things are simple and superficial. You will know if you pay a little attention."
Luo Chuan was more and more surprised. Although the status of women in this world was not as low as that of some dynasties in previous lives because they could cultivate, they were still not high. They could only be engaged in business, but it was extremely rare to be an official.
Needless to say, in the military, which has always been dominated by men, it is rare to be able to understand one or two, "Auntie is from a military family?"
The middle-aged woman thought for a while, then lowered her head slightly and said calmly, "The prefect doesn't know something. My surname is Zhong..."
Luochuan didn't know how many thoughts flashed through him in that flash of lightning. After a while of silence, he slowly spoke again, "How is Mrs. Zhong...now?"
The middle-aged woman still spoke in a calm tone, "I have never been back to Ganyuan since I followed the general into Taiming. But after all, I can still learn some things from relatives who travel between the two places. Ganyuan Zhong
The family has lived a good life these years, and over time, they have always had a solid foundation. Since General Zhong led his army south to Taiming last year... After his death from illness, the old governor did not make things difficult for the Zhong family, and the governor even ignored it.
In spite of previous suspicions, he even hired two young people from the Zhong family after the civil and military examinations. For such generosity, the whole Zhong family is grateful."
There was no change on Luo Chuan's face, and the scene was a little quiet for a while. After a while, he suddenly said, "I went south to Taiming to live in Lu Mansion twice, but I have never seen Tiefeng. Isn't he not in Taiming on weekdays?"
The middle-aged woman raised her head and said, "Tiefeng is still too young, so I take him with me most of the time. But after the incident with Xingyu, the general asked him to follow General Wang Bi." At this point
, there was a smile on her face again, and she looked at Luo Chuan and said, "General Wang Bi said that he is very spiritual, and he may not be able to complete enlightenment and become a cultivator in a few years."
Luo Chuan also smiled slightly and said, "General Lu and aunt are still blessed. If one sect can produce three cultivators, it will be a good story." He paused slightly and added, "I chatted with General Lu very late yesterday. He
He once said that he would return to Black Bridge City today, why didn't Auntie go with him?"
The middle-aged woman said directly, "The last time the Grand Administrator came to visit, I didn't show up for some reasons, which was a great disrespect for me. Now that I'm here again, how can I leave like the general and leave the Grand Administrator alone in the Lu Mansion?"
.”
"Auntie, you are too worried. Like General Lu, I am a person who doesn't care about these customs." Luo Chuan turned to look to the south, "Today's southern Xinjiang is not peaceful. It is inevitable that General Lu will not be cautious. Auntie's status is the right one."
Be careful."
He raised his head, and a green light fell from the sky behind him, turning into a shadow. "Send Mrs. Zhong to General Wang Bi later. Be careful on the way and don't reveal General Lu's location."
The shadow nodded, and a pair of eyes under the mask looked at the middle-aged woman without emotion.
The middle-aged woman stood up slowly and saluted in the direction of Luochuan. When she raised her head and looked at him again, there was something like a nostalgic color in her eyes, "Your Majesty... you still have to be like your mother."
Kiss more."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but Luo Chuan asked, "General Lu, do you think I am more like my father?"
The middle-aged woman did not turn around or salute, but said in her usual calm tone, "The general thinks that the prefect is unlike anyone else."
Luo Chuan smiled and watched the middle-aged woman leave with the shadow.
Then he raised his head and looked at the sky above Taiming City's Lu Mansion, and for a long time, he sighed softly.
