Splendid peasant girl busy farming

4610 - King Wu's Encouragement

In a mansion in the East China Sea.

The summer wind blows in through the window, carrying the breath of the ocean.

Luo Xingchen, who was dressed in a purple brocade robe, was sitting behind the desk, holding a piece of white jade paperweight in his slender and delicate fingers. There were rows of elegant handwriting on the paper. Luo Xingchen read every word carefully, not missing a single one.

After reading the full story, his beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts drifted across the ocean, as if he had returned to Changping Village...

"Chen'er, are you in the study?"

At the door of the study, came the voice of King Wu.

Luo Xingchen hurriedly withdrew his mind, put the letter paper in his hand on the table, got up and went to open the door himself.

"Grandfather, please come in!"

Luo Xingchen stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

King Wu nodded slightly, very satisfied with his grandson's generous and calm posture at such a young age.

He stepped into the study room, and at a glance he saw the family letter on the desk and the big wooden box on the ground beside the desk.

"Are these sent by your parents?" King Wu asked.

Luo Xingchen's eyes swept over those things, and his eyes became softer and warmer.

He nodded slightly, and said, "Master Grandmother, there are also two seasons of clothes, shoes and socks that my mother prepared for me, and there is also a letter from home."

There is also a small gift from his sister hidden under the box. As for what it is, it is a secret between him and his sister, and he does not want to tell his grandfather.

King Wu raised his hand, and put his big rough hand on the wooden box, as if he wanted to feel the wooden box through the temperature of the wood. Those family relationships separated by thousands of mountains and rivers suddenly fell into silence in the study.

After a while, Luo Xingchen was the first to break the silence.

He came in front of King Wu, raised his hands and clasped his fists lightly: "I don't know what instructions my grandfather has given here?"

Something in King Wu's eyes dissipated, and he became majestic and calm again.

His peaceful eyes fell on Luo Xingchen, and he said: "I heard from your Aunt Lan that since you came back from Qiye Island, you have been a little depressed? Are you still blaming yourself for the Yingshou thing?"

Being touched to a sore spot in his heart, Luo Xingchen's pupils shrank slightly, but the hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist.

He was silent, standing beside you, with his back straight, and something heaving in his chest.

King Wu lowered his eyes, hiding the concern in his eyes.

"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the edge of the sword comes from sharpening. If you want to achieve great things, you must suffer setbacks and blows." King Wu said in a deep voice.

"This trip to Qiye Island is not your fault. Grandfather and I are also responsible for the lack of preparation in advance..."

"Grandfather, please don't say that, it's my grandson's fault, and my grandson will definitely blame me." Luo Xingchen suddenly raised his head and interrupted King Wu's words.

"This matter is mainly caused by my grandson's youthful recklessness and underestimation of the enemy..."

Luo Xingchen frowned tightly.

During this period of time, apart from practicing swords, he locked himself in the study and read books every day, and he never allowed himself to calm down for a moment.

Because as long as he calms down, he will think of Yingxiu, Yingxiu who is far away in Yajili Kingdom...

"Chen'er, you are too young after all, and the road before has been smooth and smooth. This time, this is the first big somersault in your life." King Wu raised his hand to hold Luo Xingchen's shoulder, and said earnestly.

"Failure is not terrible. In the face of failure, the weak are immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves from it."

"And the strong learn from the experience of failure and prepare for the next gorgeous counterattack."

"Chen'er, raise your head and tell grandpa, which one are you?"

King Wu asked each word, like a heavy hammer, hitting Luo Xingchen's chest one after another.

He raised his head, his eyes were clear and firm, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will never get down!"

"Okay!" King Wu's eyes shot out.

"This is my good grandson!"

"Chen'er, remember, your nature is not Luo, but Qi."

"Every inch of Daqi's territory belongs to our Qi family."

"The monarch guards the country, and the prince protects the territory. This is the ancestral motto of our Daqi ancestors since the founding of the country, and it is also our family motto."

"Chen'er, cheer up, stop obsessing over Yingxiu, the most effective way to save Yingxiu is to make yourself stronger! There is no other way!" King Wu urged in a deep voice.

Luo Xingchen fixedly looked at his grandfather in front of him.

Yingxiu is willing to go back with Yajili's people in exchange for him and the whole body of his brothers.

Yingxiu made such a big sacrifice just for him and his brothers.

He didn't cherish the opportunity that Yingxiu was fighting for, instead he was immersed in frustration, which was a waste of time and doing meaningless things.

Luo Xingchen's chest rose and fell rhythmically, as if something was galloping and roaring in his chest.

He wants to become stronger, Yingxiu is still waiting for him!
"Thank you grandfather for teaching me, my grandson understands." Luo Xingchen took a step back, fisted with both hands, and saluted King Wu respectfully.

King Wu nodded slightly, quite pleased with Chen'er's epiphany.

He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Luo Xingchen.

"You keep this jade pendant well. It is a symbol of our royal family status. It should not be shown to the public unless it is absolutely necessary." King Wu said.

Luo Xingchen looked at the jade pendant in his hand, nodded, put it away carefully, and continued to listen to King Wu's next orders.

"This time you go to the capital and return to the academy, there are two main things to do."

"One: earnestly study knowledge, and two, make contacts. This network does not allow you to participate in the intrigue of the imperial court and officialdom, but to focus on the sea area. In terms of military affairs, you should be able to understand grandfather's intentions?"

Luo Xingchen lowered his eyes and said solemnly: "Grandpa, don't worry, grandson understands that he will definitely follow his grandfather's teachings and live up to his expectations!"

The king guards the country, and the prince guards the territory.

Chen'er vaguely understands that his grandfather has lived incognito on this island in the East China Sea these years. On the one hand, it has something to do with his body, and another important reason is to protect the territory to the east of Daqi!
The reunion of thousands of families and the people living and working in peace and contentment, behind these prosperous scenes of peace and prosperity, there must be some people who are carrying forward with heavy burdens.

And grandfather was one of them.

For so many years, because he has firmly guarded the East China Sea, he has fought against those enemy countries that are ready to move at sea time and time again, in order to protect the peace in the east of Daqi.

Now that my grandfather is getting older and unable to handle some things, it's time for me to take on this important task!
"Chen'er, when do you plan to leave for the capital?" King Wu asked again.

Luo Xingchen thought for a while, and said, "I don't like procrastination, tomorrow morning!"

King Wu pondered for a while: "After going ashore, do you have any other arrangements?"

Luo Xingchen was stunned for a moment, unable to fully understand the meaning of his grandfather's words.

"What does grandfather mean?" he asked.

King Wu's old face suddenly turned a little red, his eyes flickered slightly, and the previous majesty and wisdom were gone.

He turned sideways, showing some embarrassment.

Seeing this, Luo Xingchen suddenly guessed something.
