Conquer the World

Chapter 336 The Lady Holding the Doll

Yongzhou

Left avant-garde general

Even when the three-story wooden building was not in the presence of General Luo Yao, no one else was allowed to come near.This rule is so strict ... even his only son Rowan is not allowed to walk in easily.There are thirty-six silver-clad warriors guarding the outer edge of the wooden building. No one will be obeyed except Luo Yao ’s orders.

These thirty-six people are still devoted to their duties even if Luo Yao is not there.

As Luo Wen walked along the edge of the small lake, he looked at the tall building from afar and shook his head.

I don't know why, he always feels like an outsider in this house.

My father never showed even a little concern for him, and he would never say anything heartwarming.From small to large, Luo Yao will always look cold in his impression.When he was a child, he would act like other children, but Luo Yao would push him away every time and tell him that men should not be like this, and should be self-reliant.

He once asked his mother, who only said that his father's military affairs were too busy.

All along, Luo Yao has never had a little tenderness for the words father.

His mother told him that it was because his father was too fond of his son, his big brother Luo Wu would make a big mistake, because the Luo family almost overturned.

But what does Luo Wu's mistake have to do with me?

Luo Wen always wanted to ask Luo Yao, but unfortunately did not have this courage.

"Zhong Bo ..."

Rowan sat down on the stone bench by the small lake and looked at the tall building on the other side with a self-deprecating smile: "You said that in this compound, even the entire Yongzhou city and even the entire Pingshang Road, who except the father himself Can I get in and out of that building freely? I remember when I was a kid, I ran in and wanted my father to show off my copy of the Autumn Hunting Beast. I just wanted to get a compliment from him ... But my father tore my painting, and then he Slapped me hard on the face. "

Standing behind him was an old man with a thin but straight waist, who looked at least sixty or seventy years old.His hair was gray, and his face was covered with wrinkles.It's very deep, like the saline-alkali land that has been blown by the wind for decades.

"In that building, the young master should not go any better. If the general is, the young master should not go against it."

The old man replied expressionlessly, with a cold tone like the pure steel sword box bound behind his back.

"Uncle Zhong, can't you say something warm?"

"If you are heart-warming, it's mostly false."

Zhong Bodao: "Old slaves don't speak beautiful words, they only tell the truth."

"Then you tell me ... For a general rider from Wupin, it's worth the labor father to greet him for five hundred miles? Father didn't know what festival I had with Fang Jie in Chang'an City. Zun Zu hurriedly posted a junior cold ass? "

"The generals do things, no one can guess their intentions. But for so many years, the generals have not missed things."

"Yup……"

Luo Wen sneered: "Even if he killed his own son, no one would say that he did something wrong ... In such a family, I don't know when I will be killed because of what he stipulated. "

"Master, from small to large, made no mistakes."

Zhong Bo answered coldly.

"I did it on purpose."

Luo Wen looked back at Zhong Bo, and said for a while, "Since I know that the eldest brother was killed by his own hands, I have been scared ... There is such a father, who is not afraid? The elder brother did something wrong. , Even if it was damn, would he have to do it himself? Want to show loyalty to the Yang family and send his elder brother to the criminal department? "

"The general saved hundreds of lives up and down the Luo family."

Zhong Bo glanced at him, and his tone remained calm and plain: "If not, there would be no young master."

"Humph……"

Luo Wen snorted, picked up a gravel and threw it into the lake: "Zhong Bo, I have been taking care of you since I was a child. He knows that I am the closest to you. But why did I not allow him for three years in Changan Are you following me? I knelt down and begged, and he turned away without even looking at it. "

"You are the son of the general, and no one in Chang'an dares to treat you."

"Don't think I don't know!"

Rowan growled in a low voice: "He didn't actually care about me from the beginning to the end! It was the time when the people at Yushitai jointly impeached him the most fiercely when he sent me to Yanwuyuan. Is it really for tempering me? I ’m not stupid ... sending me to Changan Yanwuyuan is actually the same as killing brother, he just wanted to keep his official title. Born at the Luo family, the biggest misfortune is blood. It ’s not as good as that of the Kylin robe. ”

Uncle Zhong said nothing.

Luo Wen sneered: "Why don't you justify him?"

Zhong Bo touched the cold sword box behind his back and said, "I have always been by the young master."

Rowan's face changed slightly, and then he smiled: "So you would say something warm."

"The young master is bitter, but the general is even more bitter."

Zhong Bo looked at the three-story tall building on the other side of the bank, and after a moment of silence, he said with a sad tone: "When you really grow up, Master, you will understand the general's hardship."

"No need."

Rowan waved his hand: "I am Rowan, not just Luo Yao's son."

"Young Master has a grudge in his heart."

Zhong Bodao: "Need to eliminate."

"How to eliminate?"

Rowan asked.

Zhong Bodao: "The young master told me that."

"I want to kill someone."

Rowan Road.

Zhong Bo paused and replied: "As long as it is not Fang Jie. He is now in a mission and cannot be killed."

Luo Wen got up and sneered: "Forget it ... Although you have been by my side for nearly two decades, after all, you are a father."

At this moment, suddenly the housekeeper of the General ’s Mansion ran away breathlessly: "Young Master ... There is a guest at the back door ..."

Rowan's face changed sharply, and there was a trace of suspense in his eyes.

The gate in the backyard of the General ’s Palace has not been opened a few times in total, and only those special guests will go there.Luo Wen did not dare to participate in Luo Yao's affairs, but it does not mean that he knew nothing.

"several?"

"One!"

"Let him go and say that the general is not here!"

"Yes"

"wait!"

Rowan's complexion kept changing, and he remained silent for a while, after all he was defeated by his curiosity: "Open the door and welcome to my study!"

...

...

Luo Yao's wife, Chu, never asked Luo Yao about military affairs. She didn't even ask about the daily chores in the palace.She lives alone all year round in a small courtyard and rarely moves around, but even if guests come from the general's palace, she usually won't go out.In her small courtyard, there were few people except her confidants. Luo Yao sometimes could not meet her once a month.

Everyone said that Chu's temper was strange, he couldn't hear the child crying, and once he heard it, he would go crazy, and even Luo Yao would not know.

It is said that Rowan hadn't had this problem since he was born, and he didn't know how to suddenly get this strange disease.Since then she has rarely gone out, and that small courtyard is almost her entire world.When Luo Yao was not in the house, all things in the house were up to the butler.Since Luo Wen returned from the capital, there were some undecidable things that the housekeeper asked to ask him and he did not want to enter the Chu's house.

To the outsider, the small courtyard was gloomy and terrifying.

There is a big locust tree in the small courtyard, this kind of tree is rare in the south.And because there is a ghost in the name that is unlucky, even the northern yard will not grow this kind of thing.The locust tree in Chu's yard is not terrible in itself, but the doll of that tree is terrible.

The Chu people made the branches full of various rag dolls, making them extremely realistic.Babies with eyes, noses, and mouths have all the features, shape and full moon size.Whenever the windy weather, the doll of that tree will swing back and forth, at night it looks like it is particularly terrifying, as if it is full of demons and ghosts.

Not only that, the paintings hanging on the walls of the Chu's house are also dolls, and the paintings are delicate and lively.

The housekeeper, Sun Zhe, is fifty-five years old and was once a member of Luo Yao's team.When he settled Shangguo, he lost a right arm and became a waste.When I attacked Yongzhou, I crossed the marshland, and I didn't know what insects had bitten my legs. When I came out, the meat on one foot was almost gnawed.Although he was cured later, he could not bear the pain every cloudy day.

After Luo Yaoshu defended the southwest, he became the steward of the general's palace.Over the years, the house has been organized neatly.

He killed countless people in his life, but never had a nightmare.He did not believe that ghosts and gods were not afraid of demons, but he was only afraid of walking into the Chu's dark courtyard.If it were n’t for today ’s business, he would n’t walk in.

The people in this yard are very strange, not only the lady but also her four close-fitting girls.These four people are her maidservants and have been in Luofu for decades.The smallest one is also fifty years old, and the largest one is six years older than Chu.The names of the four of them are the four gentlemen of plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, which were originally beautiful and refined names, but each one is more gloomy than ghosts.

Whenever the sun hangs high, the four of them will move onto small stools and sit in a row in the yard to bask in the sun.Everyone holds a baby in his arms as if holding a kitten.

Stroking the doll is very gentle, as if combing hair for cats and dogs.

Chunlan Qiuju Xia Zhudongmei, the four women didn't talk when they sat together. The silence in the yard could be heard even when a needle fell to the ground. Ragdoll in the room.The expression is dull, and there is no god in the eyes.

"I have something to ask my wife."

Sun Zhe leaned over the door and spoke in a low voice, as cautiously as if he were scared.

"Madam is asleep and cannot be disturbed."

The oldest Chunlan responded with a chill.

"Troublesome, if it is not a matter of utmost importance, I would not dare to disturb my wife to repose."

"what's up?"

Qiu Ju asked.

Sun Zhe hesitated and replied: "Just tell my wife that the small door in the backyard has opened again. But the general is not at home, it is the young man who opened the door."

It was only after this sentence that the door of the house was squeaked and pulled open from inside.

Standing at the door, Chu's was wearing a home furnishing suit, and his hair was scattered behind his head.She was several years older than Luo Yao, but she couldn't see any wrinkles on her face.Her face was like blank paper on Jingxuan, her eyebrows were all painted, so she couldn't see a little expression.She doesn't seem to have been eroded by years, and the person who saw her for the first time will surely feel that this woman will not be over thirty.

The figure is still there.

The doll in my arms is there all year round.

"Where is the young master?"

"Meet guests in his study."

"Invite guests to me."

Chu said lightly: "Then tell the young master to let him get the military tactics of twenty whips. Whatever the general has explained, no matter who breaks the rules. Also ... can there be newcomers in the house? "

"there's a few."

"Have you seen any guests?"

"Two"

"Send it to the backyard ..."

Chu's expressionless command, and then turned back to the house.

"backyard……"

Sun Zhe murmured it again, thinking of the wizards in the backyard, he felt chills for a while. In the past few years, the number of people sent to the backyard has exceeded at least one hundred.
