Chapter 251 Luo Xin sent a wife to Liu Bang
“Tatttatt!”
The sound of war horses stepping on the ground echoed throughout the fields. The wind blowing across the cheeks brought the smell of soil after a light rain. The rich fragrance of Lu Zhi and the slightly milky fragrance of Liu Le came to the nose, mixed with the faint smell of blood on the sword blade, giving it a unique flavor.
Luo Xin never thought that this day would come.
He thought that he would enter the officialdom and become one of the Three Dukes or Nine Ministers, where he could display his talents.
He thought that he did not want to be an official, and only wanted to teach the people, and like his fifth brother, devote himself to academic research.
I also thought about joining Luo Mo in the future, doing chivalrous deeds, and letting the world know that in the face of life and death, the strength of an ordinary man is greater than that of a noble.
But he never thought that he would actually escape with women and children.
He had already changed to his third horse and could feel that the strength of Lu Zhi's embrace on him was gradually weakening, but the strength of her fingertips was gradually increasing, and the soft body was gradually moving away.
There was a problem with Lu Zhi's physical strength.
Needless to say, Liu Le in his arms had been shaking from the beginning. The constant bumps on the horse made her tender and pretty face pale, which made her look extremely adorable.
This was something Luo Xin had anticipated long ago. Riding a horse is a very tiring thing, especially without a saddle and stirrups. To stay steadily on the horse's back, one needs to use the strength of his whole body.
Luo Xin was a little worried about Lü Zhi's current state. If she lost her grip, she might fall off the horse at any time. He asked with some concern: "Madam, can you still hold on? We can leave Pei County soon."
Hearing this, Lü Zhi held Luo Xin's arm tighter and whispered, "My lord, I can hold on. You must be very tired taking care of me and my three children. I am a burden to you. I really don't know what to say."
Luo Xin said nothing, waving his whip and jumping high over the obstacles on the ground.
Naturally, there were pursuers along the way, but Luo Xin was a strong man who could pull a strong bow. Before those people got close, he pulled the bow and shot arrows continuously, shooting the soldiers on horseback off their horses.
He killed dozens of people along the way, waving the captured spears, simply clamping his legs around the horse's belly, shooting left and right, and no one could stop him.
If he had not been worried about Lu Zhi and Liu Le being injured by stray arrows, Luo Xin, wearing armor, could have killed all the remaining people by himself. He broke through on horseback, leaving a field of corpses, and the remaining infantry could not catch up with him at all.
After leaving Pei County, there were not so many people who acted on their own, and there were basically no people who knew Lu Zhi. Luo Xin quickly got a carriage and sent Liu Ying into Lu Zhi's arms.
Lu Zhi was still wearing the same gown, but it was a little messy after the continuous bumps. The hairpin on her head had naturally come loose. Her face was pale and her lips were a little chapped. When she got off the horse, her legs immediately went weak. Luo Xin quickly supported her, "Madam, please get in the car quickly. You won't be so tired later."
Lu Zhi knew that she didn't want to waste time, so she got into the car immediately. Fortunately, after she married Liu Bang, she had done a lot of farm work. If she was still the eldest daughter of the Lu family, she would probably be too sore to move by now.
Luo Xin was comforting Liu Le who was holding him tightly. Liu Le looked at his mother in the carriage, then he reluctantly let go of Luo Xin and snuggled up to his mother.
Just as Luo Xin was about to drive away, Lü Zhi suddenly lifted the curtain and whispered, "Sir, you saved me, Ying'er, and Le'er. This is a favor heavier than Mount Tai and deeper than the East China Sea.
From today on, you should call Pheasant "E-gou", which is the name your father gave her."
Luo Xin raised his whip high, whipped the horse on its back, and laughed loudly, "E'ou, good handwriting."
The two of them laughed, as if all the hardships along the way had disappeared. "E'sui, do you want to follow Brother Lu's advice and seek refuge in Bashu, or do you want to go see the King of Han?"
In his letter, Lu Ze hoped that Lu Zhi would go directly to Bashu and stay away from the war, but Lu Zhi was unwilling to do so. She was somewhat unwilling to just hide like this.
Lü Zhi asked, "Sir, you said that one should face challenges head-on. Now I want to give it a try. If I were to join Liu Ji's army, would he still ignore me and Ying'er and favor those concubines and bastards?"
Luo Xin shook his head and said, "This is not an answer I can give you. It depends on what you want and whether you will regret it if you don't get it."
What do you want?
Lu Zhi had thought it through before. She wanted to outlast Liu Bang, but now she was a little uncertain. "Sir, if you were in Liu Ji's army, you would definitely leave."
Luo Xinwen chuckled and said, "Of course, just like before, I have no fixed place to live, no fixed place to travel, and I go wherever I want. Maybe one day I will be like Qin Shihuang and go out to sea to look for immortals."
Of course, Lu Zhi knew that Luo Xin was joking. Their ancestor was the sky, so why would they need to look for immortals?
Luo Xin told Lu Zhi very clearly that he would not go to Liu Bang. The world was in chaos and the sons of the Luo family would not meet each other. This was an iron rule unless the family really liked one person too much.
Lü Zhi glanced at Luo Xin's back and sighed, "Sir, what do you think I should do?"
Luo Xin smiled and said, "Of course, I want to return to the King of Han. This is what you want. If you fail to do this and something unexpected happens in the future, you will regret it. You are the King of Han's legal wife, and Ying'er is the eldest son. As long as you don't do anything wrong by the King of Han's side, my third brother will also secretly favor you."
Lü Zhi looked somewhat happy, but reluctantly. She looked at Liu Ying in her arms and asked Liu Le, "Le'er, do you want to see your father?"
Liu Le felt a little sleepy. He nestled in Lu Zhi's arms, and his eyelids were almost unable to open.
Hearing his mother's question, he recalled his father's image in his mind, looked at Luo Xin again, and asked crisply: "Mother, will my brother go with us?"
Lu Zhi shook her head, and Liu Le pouted and said unhappily, "Then let's not go to see father. Let's follow our brother."
Luo Xinyan laughed loudly and said, "A Le, he is your father, the King of Han. You should go meet him and stop causing trouble for your mother."
Luo Xin's words finally made Lu Zhi determined, and she said firmly: "Sir, go see Liu Ji."
…
The two men headed westward, and along the way they heard that Liu Bang's army was invincible and there was no fighting at all. When the princes saw Liu Bang's army of 200,000, they joined his team one after another to fight against Xiang Yu.
As soon as Luo Xin and Lu Zhi arrived in Han, they heard about Liu Bang's whereabouts, which was only a few dozen miles away from them.
However, Lu Zhi did not go to see Liu Bang immediately, but first found a private house to wash up for herself and Liu Le.
She wanted to ensure that when she appeared in front of the generals, she would be a radiant, majestic and dignified queen.
Luo Xin also washed up thoroughly. When the four of them reappeared, the exhaustion caused by days of fleeing had completely disappeared, and Luo Xin once again regained the appearance of the handsome and dashing young man he used to be.
Lu Zhi changed into a curved-skirt dress, which made her look very dignified and elegant, especially because she was tall and had a graceful figure, which made her look very imposing.
The two men admired each other and went straight to find Liu Bang without delay. There were so many troops that the military tents alone stretched for a very long distance.
Lu Zhi sent the token in. Although Lu Ze did not follow the army but stayed behind, there were still Lu Ze's subordinates in the army.
Through them, Lu Zhi could still enter the military camp and meet Liu Bang, and there would not be a situation where the queen arrived outside the military camp and was blocked.
Under the green hills, Luo Xin stopped the carriage, looked at the endless military camps in the distance, and said to Lu Zhi: "Eju, it seems that you made the right choice to return to Liu Bang. He is more than just a king of Han.
If you succeed in defeating Xiang Yu, with his current power, he will be the new ruler of the world, and you will be the mistress of the world."
"This is the path you chose for me, so it is right."
Lü Zhi looked at Luo Xin, her eyes blazing with passion, and said, "I have never known how to repay your kindness, so I swear here that if I ever become regent, I will definitely make you my prime minister and bring you endless glory."
Luo Xinyan was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, "E'er, you still have a long way to go to get back what belongs to you.
It is not easy for the King of Han to conquer the world, because the thing the world lacks the least is accidents.
It's too early to think about these things now. You should sort out your manners now, which is the most important thing."
Liu Le felt that the time of separation was approaching, so he rushed over and hugged Luo Xin, crying, "Brother, are you leaving? Le'er can't bear to leave you."
Luo Xin touched Liu Le's head and said with a smile: "We'll see each other again in the future. When Ah Le grows up a little, I will come back to see you. This is my promise to you. Now follow your mother to see your father."
Liu Le looked at Luo Xin with tears in her eyes. She had always been very obedient, listening to her father, her mother, and now Luo Xin.
The little girl slowly let go of her hands, turned around and started crying in Lu Zhi's arms. Lu Zhi looked at her daughter in her arms, then at the radiant Luo Xin, and her heart was full of complicated feelings.
The news of Lu Zhi's coming finally reached Liu Bang's ears. Luo Xin also sent a token to Luo Yi and told him what had happened in recent days. After all, there must be a reason why Lu Zhi was able to escape the hunt.
Young Master Luo happened to pass by, and because of the thousand-year blood alliance, he rescued the weak woman. This is a reason that is very consistent with Luo's character.

There have always been different opinions about the relationship between Empress Lü and the Marquis of Dong'e during the Han Dynasty. According to official history, they were a harmonious relationship between the monarch and his subjects, but countless unofficial histories have recorded a closer relationship between the two sides. However, it is still the consensus of many historians that they started from emotions and ended with etiquette. Filmmakers should respect historical figures instead of making unwarranted speculations. —— "Thoughts on the ban of [The Great Han Dynasty]"
I got off work late, so I stayed up late to write the second chapter. Everyone go to bed first and read it tomorrow.
