stand back, let me come

Chapter 1366: Tired Worker (Part 1366) [Ask for Leave]

Luo San did not attend the celebration banquet. He never liked such extravagant occasions. It was boring because of the struggle for profit and greed. When he learned from his old subordinates that the celebration banquet was turned into a court meeting, several men were so tired that they fell asleep as soon as they returned to the tent. They fell into silence. The old subordinate said: [It is a wise choice for you not to go. It really makes people dizzy. ]

There was no singing, dancing or drinking at the celebration banquet, only boring and soul-stirring trivialities, but they had to listen with all their attention. Halfway through, several of the old subordinates wanted to hold their eyelids shut with sticks, they just couldn't stand it any longer.

Luo San looked at his old subordinates whose faces turned pale.

In the past, military drills had never made the other side so tired that their lips turned pale.

Is this celebration banquet the Hongmen Banquet?

The old subordinate shook his head, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face to sober himself up, then said in fear: [In my life, I hate it most when others say that warriors are reckless, but today I wish I had no brains! We don't participate in such occasions. ]

He was still scared after participating in it once.

Luo San said: [That is the prejudice of the outside world against military men. Anyone who can command the three armies must be both civil and military. If the military men's right to participate in politics is taken away one day, and those scholars are allowed to make decisions about wars, the future of the military men will be over.]

The old subordinate wanted to speak but stopped, and wanted to speak again.

[…In short, it’s really scary…] He used to handle military affairs for the captain and was also very good at it, but the workload today is not the same. He would rather tie his head to his belt and fight his way in and out. [The lord is really scary!]

Anyone with eyes could see that she was enjoying it very much.

How can anyone enjoy work?

Luo San: […Lady Xiahou refuses to establish a country name?]

The old subordinate said: [The lord predicted that this year is not a good time. ]

Luo San sneered, but he knew the real reason in his heart: [Xia Houyu and his people have no objection to this? ]

[They didn't say anything, but...] The old subordinate paused and said, [After the meeting, I heard some rumors... Most of the people below were complaining and were uneasy.]

Warriors exchange their lives for benefits.

Having followed Xia Houli through life and death, it is natural that he wants to cash in the dividends when the harvest is great, and founding a country is the best time to make a profit. The national seal has been obtained, but the lord is dragging his feet and refusing to establish a country. Isn't this blocking the way to wealth? Under normal circumstances, if this contradiction is not handled properly, there will be a mutiny sooner or later. Either force her to wear the yellow robe, or start a new family and support another person!

The old subordinates who were listening below were all sweating.

Luo Sandao: [Desires are insatiable, and knowledge is shallow. ]

It would be fine if these people just complained verbally, but if they dared to put it into practice, I'm afraid it would be the death knell. Xia Houli refused to establish a country because Kangguo was standing behind her. She wanted to establish a country abroad, but she had to choose a suitable time, not now. If these people couldn't hold back, it would ruin her big plan! Luo San also reminded his old subordinates to be careful with their words, and not to say anything, whether it should be said or not!
Of course the old subordinates understood: [I know. ]

Most of these voices came from the lower-level soldiers. Although they were numerous, they could not stir up any trouble. This was one of the main reasons why Shen Youli could rest easy. When Luo San saw Shen Tang, the latter had just finished washing up. His wig was hanging on a rack nearby. He was wiping his scalp with a cloth in his left hand and writing with a brush in his right hand... The government affairs that were taller than people were almost exhausted.

"Madam, you don't have to be so cautious."

It is not impossible to establish a country by force.

Shen Tang was not surprised by his arrival: "Lord Luo has arrived just in time."

She pointed to the wooden box on the table and said, "If Lord Luo is free, could you help run an errand? Take this item personally to the Emperor of Kangguo in the Northwest?" She emphasized the word "personally".

Luo San was surprised: "The national seal? You want me to help pass it on?"

Nor is there any fear that he might swallow it on the way.

Shen Tang said, "I naturally believe in Lord Luo's character." Luo San frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, and nodded in agreement, "The dagger is revealed when the picture is drawn, and the sword is hidden in the belly of the fish. I know what's going on."

Her language ability was almost gone.

"... Luo Hou, no..."

Shen Tang stopped suddenly and decided to find some fun for himself.

The master is even busier than me. When I synchronize my memory every day, I find that it's all government affairs. He is so busy with affairs every day that his eyes are blurry, as if a demon has sucked away his yang energy.

The imperial physician said: [Your Majesty, your kidney qi is insufficient. ]

The pupils of the attendant trembled: [Insufficient kidney energy? ]

To put it another way, isn't this kidney deficiency?

Shen Tang: [……]

Old people tend to be stubborn, and this is especially true of the old masters. Shen Tang thought Luo San would be an exception, but he found that Luo San was no exception to this rule either - the old masters were mysteriously obsessed with the idea that Xia Houli would definitely usurp the throne. Even if Shen Tang explained it himself, he could still come back to the point after a conspiracy theory analysis!
Worried that Lao Deng would really play a trick on her, Shen Tang sent him away, adding some fun to her boring life. She was looking forward to Luo San's expression when he discovered the truth: "Lord Luo, be careful on the road."

"What if I lose the national seal..."

"How can a mere imperial seal compare to the safety of Luo Hou?"

As long as Luo San did not lose the national seal in secret, but was taken away from him by an outsider, it means that Luo San has encountered a strong enemy and cannot protect himself. In this case, Luo San is naturally the main force, and there is no need to sacrifice a helper for a national seal.

Luo San pulled the corner of his mouth: "I don't drink the magic potion."

Shen Tang smiled and said, "Hmmmm, it smells really good."

"…Besides that, is there anyone else who can do it for you?"

Shen Tang remembered something: "Of course there is. When Lord Luo passes by Yuanfu County, please go and take a look..."

"Yuanfu County? What's so special about that place?"

"There's nothing special about the place, but the new governor of Yuanfu County is my friend and student. Lingde brought news from there last time saying that everything was fine, but there has been a break in communication recently... I'm worried that something has gone wrong there, and Kangguo is short of manpower, so I want to ask Luo Hou to go and find out." Enclaves are inconvenient to manage, and the message path is cut off, so the transmission back and forth is extremely slow. Gongyang Yongye is also in Yuanfu County, so it doesn't make much sense for Shen Tang to send someone weaker than him there, and those stronger than him can't get away.

Luo San did not respond directly, and asked: "My lady, do you still remember what I said before, that there are people who can use time as arrows?"

Shen Tang: "...He is in Yuanfu?"

Luo San shook his head: "No, his name is Yuan Fu."

Yuanfu County was named after this person. The original name was not this thing. Luo San gathered martial energy in his palm to wrap the wooden box, hiding the smell of this thing to the maximum extent, so as not to cause a stir when passing through other countries: "Leave this matter to me. When I pass by Yuanfu County, I will look for his grave and see if I can dig it up!"

Shen Tang had a bad feeling.

The curse of Kangshi, the god of plague, comes late but arrives.

Uェ*U
I took two days off out of the three days at the beginning of the month, and I feel like my perfect attendance this month is going to be ruined.

PS: The monthly ticket thread I applied for seems to be full. I will see if I can apply for another one tomorrow (I hope the funds for the monthly ticket annual competition will come down as soon as possible, so that I can open a few more threads when the number of tickets is doubled.)
