Chapter 441 Two Years Later (3)

“That’s right.” Shen Miao said, “But it’s also an opportunity.”

"What kind of opportunity do you think this is, cousin?" Luo Ling asked with a smile.

"The Luo Family Army has finally shown some improvement in the past two years, and Your Majesty is determined to support them. Although greater achievements bring greater danger, the Luo Family Army has already gained strength that cannot be bullied. The Luo Family Army trained in the past two years all take the Luo Family as their master, not the emperor. This is the Luo Family's own military force, not Ming Qi's. Your Majesty is supporting the Luo Family, so just stick to this point and it will be fine."

All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. Yet, Shen Miao clearly distinguished the Luo family from Mingqi. If Luo Sui had heard this, he would have fainted from anger. Such outrageous words were clearly preparations for rebellion. However, the younger generations of the Luo family, though surprised, did not feel angry.

Unlike their ancestors, the Luo family had already fallen on hard times when the younger generations were born. The royal family withheld funds, leaving the Luo family army abandoned in remote areas. The younger generations were not without complaints. The more they complained, the less loyal they felt to the emperor.

After a moment of silence, a hint of enthusiasm flashed in Luo Sa's eyes. He said, "My little cousin, what you said is very good." He was a violent and impulsive person, completely different from Luo Ling's gentle and kind nature. Normally, he rarely praised someone. At this moment, he praised her, obviously agreeing with what Shen Miao said.

Luo Ling was more calm, but despite this, he did not object.

Luo Qian and Luo Tan were lively and had an inexplicable conviction in Shen Miao's words, so they didn't say anything bad about it. Therefore, the younger generations of the Luo family almost all tacitly agreed with Emperor Wenhui's reward and reached a consensus: it was a good thing and there was no need to dissuade them.

"Come to think of it," Luo Tan said, leaning on the table and looking at Shen Miao, "My little cousin is sixteen now. Yesterday, one of my sisters came to ask me if you have found a husband. If not, how about seeing her brother? My little cousin, do you want to go and meet him?"

The people of Xiaochun City are open and honest. If you have a girl you like, you can ask her through your friends and family. Luo Qian said, "What nonsense are you talking about? My little cousin is only sixteen, so there's no need to worry. But you are already eighteen, so why don't you worry about yourself?"

"Why should I be so anxious?" Luo Tan shook her hair. "I'm so pretty and smart, I'll definitely have marriage proposals even when I'm eighty. I'm just worried about my little cousin. She's so fragile, how can she be missed all the time? She'd better find a husband to protect her. Luo Qian, if you continue to be so rude, I guarantee no girl will marry you in the future!"

"Who said there's no girl willing to marry me?" Luo Qian said unconvincedly, "If all else fails, don't I still have my little cousin? My little cousin has a good heart. If that day really comes, she will definitely marry me and help me out, right?" He stepped forward with a shameless face.

Luo Tan slapped his face away and said, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? My little cousin really wants to get married, but Brother Ling and Brother Sa in our family haven't married yet. Who is not better than you? If you don't believe me, ask Brother Ling and Brother Sa if they are willing to marry my little cousin."

The topic was inadvertently turned to Luo Ling and Luo Sa. Luo Ling was stunned and his face turned slightly red. Luo Sa also coughed lightly twice and turned his head away. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Luo Tan was completely oblivious. With a smile on his face, he held his chin up and asked, "Little cousin, tell me, what kind of man do you like? Handsome? Rich? Good at martial arts? Can write poetry?"

Shen Miao looked at Luo Tan. Although the three men in the room were looking elsewhere, their ears were perked straight up. Shen Miao said, "He can beat my eldest brother, right?"
