Chapter 400 Fragrance
Luo Tianbao was a little unhappy at first. He felt that the court's move was a bit of a burning bridge. But when he saw that Huo Daoliang, a confidant of the emperor, was so aggrieved to him, he couldn't help but sympathize with him. If it had been someone else, Luo Tianbao might have done it.
There is a fight, but this time it is obvious that the court wants to give the first credit to the prince so that he can succeed in the future. If his father and his son are too stubborn in this matter, they will offend too many forces. Anyway, it is an easier job.
That's fine, Luo Tianbao couldn't help laughing when he thought of this: "Sir, you are serious. We are all officials and soldiers of the imperial court. We, father and son, are at the mercy of the state's arrangements."
At first, everyone, including the prince, was worried that Luo Tianbao and his son would not accept this arrangement. This time, Xinjing was pacified, and the rebel army absorbed a large number of former rebels, which greatly increased their strength. If they were to repeat themselves, the court would be no different.
Tigers will be driven out through the front door, but wolves will come in through the back door. Fortunately, it seems that Luo Tianbao and his son have no objections at present, and everyone is reassured and can't help but feel a little better about Luo Tianbao.
The prince immediately raised his glass and said: "Lin Youcheng, you father and son have contributed to the country and made great achievements. These orphans, father and emperor, and all the people in the world have seen it and remembered it in their hearts. I can make a promise here. As long as you father and son live up to the imperial court, the imperial court will
I will never let you down."
When Luo Tianbao saw that the majestic prince of the country could say such words, it showed that he attached great importance to his father and son. He immediately picked up his wine glass and said: "Your Highness, your words are serious. The imperial court is very kind to our father and son. We should do our best to serve the country.
"
Li Guozhong also joked at this time: "His Royal Highness the Prince and Lin Youcheng said it is true. According to our family, you will drink this cup to the full. I wish the rebellion will be ended soon and the country will be safe and peaceful!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. The atmosphere of the banquet was also pushed to a climax. After that, everyone talked about military affairs and the general situation of the world for a while, and then left happily. When Luo Tianbao returned, he happened to be with Li Guozhong.
On the same road, everyone was still walking one behind the other at first. When they saw that they were getting farther and farther away from the others, Li Guozhong quickly caught up with Luo Tianbao and said: "You Cheng, Liu Qian, Wang Xiong, they are with you
How are your men doing?"
When Luo Tianbao heard Li Guozhong ask about this, he immediately replied: "They are dedicated to their duties and are quite capable. In fact, we, father and son, plan to ask the court for credit on their behalf in the future."
"It's the king's salary and the king's worries. Since they serve in the guard, they should do this. In fact, our family sent them to help Xian and his son. If there is anything wrong, You Cheng
Even if you punish me, you don’t have to take care of our family’s face.”
"The general is serious."
At this time, Li Guozhong looked around and saw that there were no outsiders. He immediately approached Luo Tianbao and whispered: "You Cheng, you are not allowed to go north to pursue the enemy this time. Are you feeling aggrieved?"
"General, your words are serious. Since we, father and son, are loyal to the imperial court, we should act according to orders. What is there to be dissatisfied about?"
"You Cheng, what you said is a bit untrue. Don't worry, our family is on the side of your father and son. Although the war will be over one day, we will still have to take care of each other in the officialdom from now on, right? Our family is a chamberlain.
You father and son are from the world, and we are different from those children from aristocratic families and even scholars. They look down on us, so we have to get closer and closer. If we are separated, we will inevitably suffer in the future."
"What the general said is true, but I really have no complaints about this matter."
"You Cheng, you are really a generous person. Our family values you for this, but you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. Let me tell you the truth. In fact, we will not let you pursue the traitor this time.
It was Huo Daoliang and Empress Zhang who brought up the military matter because they were afraid that you and your son would become bigger. Of course, having said that, they did not necessarily do it to squeeze out you and your son, but you have to be aware of the pros and cons.
."
Luo Tianbao understood that Li Guozhong was trying to sow discord and attack political opponents, but firstly, he was at least speaking to his father and son on the surface, and secondly, he couldn't afford to offend him for a while, so Luo Tianbao could only smile and said: "Thank you, general, for informing me. I'm humble."
You will be on your guard."
It was not the first time that Li Guozhong had been in contact with Luo Tianbao. He knew that although this man was young, he was very thoughtful and that even though he said too much, it would be counterproductive. He immediately smiled faintly and patted Luo Tianbao on the shoulder: "This is the best.
In short, what we said before is sincere. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to us and I will definitely help you."
"Thank you, General. We will inevitably bother you in the future."
"Easy to say, easy to say." After Li Guozhong said this, he smiled and led the people away. Looking at his retreating figure, Ye Di, who was following Luo Tianbao, couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"It is said that Li Guozhong is a treacherous and cunning man. He lives up to his reputation today. He wants to kill people with a borrowed knife and sell us an empty favor. If we really join forces with him, we will suffer a loss."
Luo Tianbao laughed when he heard this: "There's nothing I can do about it. It's people like this who thrive in the officialdom. In fact, Li Guozhong is pretty good. He does many things clearly and clearly, unlike some people who do one thing in front of others and another behind their backs, and kill without blood."
"Look at what you said, as if you have been in the officialdom for many years. You are very old-fashioned."
"Oh, do you think I'm old? What about me makes you feel old?"
Ye Di didn't react at first, wanting to say that he didn't mean it, but when he saw Luo Tianbao looking at him with evil intentions, he suddenly understood and glared at him.
"Dirty."
"No, what did I say and you just scolded me like this?"
"I know exactly what you mean."
"That's not right. If my thoughts are obscene, you can guess them right away. Doesn't that mean you also..."
"Are you looking for a fight?" Ye Di said and raised his hand to fight. When Luo Tianbao saw this, he immediately ran away with a smile. The two of them chased each other on the road. Others who followed knew that they were doing this.
He was just joking, so he didn't care, so he followed slowly. As soon as Luo Tianbao ran to the intersection, someone suddenly rushed out from behind and hugged him. Luo Tianbao was shocked at that time, even though he knew
This was in the army camp, so there was no danger. However, out of the instinct of a martial arts practitioner, he immediately made a move to throw the opponent out. But when he was halfway through the movement, a sudden aroma pierced his chest.
The smell in his nostrils was so familiar to him that he immediately guessed who the other party was and quickly stopped.
"Who!?" Although Luo Tianbao understood, others didn't know that Ye Di was startled at that time. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and started to attack. Luo Tianbao was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly tried to explain to Ye Di that he was one of his own.
, Unexpectedly, the man behind said this.
"Worry first, I'll play with her."
Luo Tianbao was stunned when he heard this. Before he could agree, the man behind him had already let go of him, drew out his sword and attacked Ye Di. Ye Di didn't understand where this man came from and why he wanted to attack him.
, but since he drew his sword at each other, he had to fight back, so he danced his sword to meet the enemy, and the two started fighting at the intersection.
