Chapter 221 Luo Village (Additional chapter for the leader to call me Your Majesty the Prince)
In the quiet room, Luo Yi bowed his head to Luo Ling and said, "Brother, I will also follow Pei Gong."
Just as the Luo family is not Su Wang's puppet, the Luo family's disciples all have their own ideas. It is impossible for them to live completely according to Luo Ling's arrangements. They may even directly oppose it. However, most of the time, the Luo family's disciples always make the same choice.
Luo Ling helped Luo Yi up and asked with some concern: "Do you think he is a wise leader who can end the world?"
Just like a mother worries about her child when he is away from home, Luo Ling is now the head of the Luo family and is always worried about his children who have left home.
No matter how deep the feelings in this world are, they may not be able to withstand the erosion of interests. However, the Luo family is special. The descendants of the Luo family do not care about the interests of the world, but only care about the satisfaction of the spiritual world.
Luo Yi said: "I don't know either, but Pei Gong is a hero. He was born in the lower class but he has the status he has today without being arrogant. This is a manifestation of great luck. Maybe he is a new Holy King?
It is always said that those who are capable should do more work. Having my eldest brother is enough for the family. Besides, there are other brothers who can help me. My talent is not outstanding, so I will just follow my own feelings. "
In fact, as long as they have the blessing of their ancestors, the talents of the Luo family members will not differ too much. At most, they are just good at different things. Luo Yi is considered a small hexagonal warrior in the family and has no obvious shortcomings.
There are also some literary talents in the Luo family who have no idea about governing a country but are good at music, poetry and prose. They are completely useless in competing for world domination.
Luo Ling was quite relieved when he heard the first half of the sentence, but the second half directly exposed his nature as a playboy. No wonder he could hang out with Liu Bang, a knight-errant.
Luo Ling slapped him directly and said unhappily: "What are you talking about? I am your elder brother. The elders are not here, so I must be responsible for your affairs. Otherwise, how can I face my ancestors in the future?
But now that the country has become my home, the young men in my family are eager to come out and see what the world will be like when it is unified. Now is still a chaotic time, and when the world is peaceful and the young men who haven’t been crowned yet have all been crowned, they will definitely come out to see it.”
Luo Yi sat upright and said, "Brother, Ah Cai needs your help. This girl is conceited and intelligent, but we brothers can't beat her. We really don't have the face to teach her a lesson. You are the only one in the family who can make her obedient."
Among the direct descendants of the Luo family who entered Peach Blossom Spring from Zhaocheng that year, Luo Cai was the best in terms of talent alone, especially in the ability to judge people, which was second to none.
However, later on, Ji Zhao helped Luo Ling become the top strategist in history.
Luo Ling couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Acai is a sensible child, much better than you guys."
The two brothers were chatting before parting. Luo Ling gave Luo Yi a life-saving trump card. He was still a little worried about Luo Yi. Luo Cai, who was praised by him for being sensible, was preparing to leave Luo Village.
The night was deep and pitch black, and from time to time the sounds of wild beasts could be heard in the mountains, but Luo Village was always peaceful. Here lived the bravest warriors in the world, and even if the most ferocious jackals, tigers and leopards came here, the only outcome would be death.
This place seems to be isolated from the outside world. The noise of the outside world cannot affect here. The sound of reading can be heard on time every day.
After Luo Cai returned to Luo Village, she has been paying attention to the situation in the world. She knows that she has talent and hopes to make some contributions to the family.
There are only five men in the Luo family who have been crowned. The eldest brother Ling is the head of the family and is in charge of the overall situation.
The second brother is taciturn and not good at speaking, so the eldest brother Ling asked him to stay in Luo Village and control the most core military force of the entire family - the brave warriors. There are not many of them, but as long as it is not a battle between a large army, they are enough to deal with variables.
Moreover, holding the guard props in his hand, Ji Zhao basically protected the few remaining direct descendants to the utmost.
Not only the brave warriors in the open, but also organizations like Luo Mo that contact the old Luo people and distant branches of the royal family are all under his command.
Luo Yi is the third among his brothers. He is the elder brother of Luo Cai from the same mother. The two of them also have a younger brother who is not even fifteen years old. He just finished his studies in Luo Village some time ago and started traveling around the world to experience the realities of human nature. It is extraordinary for the mother of these three siblings to give birth to two boys and one girl.
In Luo Village, Luo Xin looked at Luo Cai helplessly and said, "A Cai, the world is in turmoil right now. It's so inconvenient for a woman like you to travel. You'd better stay in the village and wait for news from your brothers."
Luo Cai sighed slightly after hearing this, "Fourth brother, I am a woman with a weak body. How can I be willing to run around when I can be safe? I heard that my brother followed the princes to the west. This is a critical moment for fighting bravely, but compared with my eldest brother, the second brother, and even the fourth brother, my brother is not up to it.
My elder brother has the ability to govern, but his talent is limited to governing a county. My elder brother has the ability to command troops, but his troops do not exceed 10,000. He has strategies, but his vision is not subtle enough, and he is not cautious enough. He may be suitable as a general, but it is so difficult to kill a general and seize the flag that he cannot do it.
Alas, I am really worried that he will be in trouble and feel depressed. "
Luo Cai was very good at judging people. He listed all of Luo Yi's strengths and weaknesses in just a few words. Luo Xin could only say, "Third brother, how could he be so bad? Ah Cai, you live in Luo Village and all you see are Luo family members, so you think so.
"The third brother's ability is enough to be a guest of honor for the king. If he were in the Zhou Dynasty hundreds of years ago, he would be a great talent who could prosper a country."
Luo Cai shook her head and said, "I don't care whether my brother is a guest of honor of the king or whether I can achieve the position of king. These are just illusions. Since my brother wants to do something, I want to see him achieve his wish. It's just that he is not capable enough, so I am a little worried as a sister."
Luo Xinyan finally said, "If you want to leave, you still need Second Brother's consent. He should arrange a lot of guards for you. If Second Brother agrees, you can follow me first, and then I will take you to see Third Brother. This is the safest way."
In the early morning, the morning glow was brilliant, and spots of light fell, shining on Luo Cai's body and face. Although there was a hint of heroism between her eyebrows, her appearance was extremely beautiful. A dozen children surrounded her, some of them looked like adults in their teens, and some were still children, both boys and girls. The only thing they had in common was that they all looked outstanding.
The pretty little girl blinked her big eyes and asked, "Aunt, are you leaving the village again?"
These are Luo Ling’s children. The youngest who escaped from Zhaocheng that year are now in their teens. These children are the next generation of the Luo family.
Luo Cai gently touched her head and said, "Yes, leave the village and find your father and third uncle."
"Acai, let's go!"
Luo Xin's voice came, Luo Cai stood up, waved his hand and said: "Second brother, I'm going to pick it."
On the second floor of a small building, a figure stood in the darkness, nodded slightly at Luo Cai, and watched Luo Xin and Luo Cai get on the carriage. A group of guards left with them. The village was still as quiet and lively as before.
The carriage swayed gently along the bumpy mountain road. Luo Cai asked, "Did Fourth Brother obey the order of Big Brother to be born?"
Luo Xin shook his head and denied, "The situation in the world is not yet so critical that the Luo family needs to help my eldest brother. It's just that after my third brother followed the Duke of Pei to the west, my eldest brother sent me a letter asking if my fifth brother and I would like to go out for a walk.
After his travels, the fifth brother began to stay in the treasury room. He said that he wanted to harmonize the Huang-Lao school of thought with Confucianism to come up with a set of methods for self-cultivation and recuperation in order to heal the world that was deeply traumatized by the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty.
He also said that the First Emperor had burned almost all the books in the world, and many Confucianists did not know the ancient ritual system. The new dynasty could not continue to use the old system of the Qin Dynasty. He wanted to create a set of rituals and even official systems from the family's classics as a celebration of the new dynasty. That's why he was unwilling to come out. I don't have the knowledge he has, so I came out to take a look."
Luo Cai's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he praised, "Fifth brother is really talented, with a photographic memory. He knows all the thousand-year-old rituals of the Zhou Dynasty by heart. If he can establish the official system and rituals of the new dynasty like our ancestor King Su did, he will be remembered in history."
Then he said, "Fourth brother, since you don't have any place you want to go, why don't you come with me to find my brother and see who this Pei Gong is. Although my brother's talent is not outstanding, his vision of people is not low. To be recognized by my brother, he must be a real hero."
Luo Xin still shook his head and said, "Forget it, Third Brother can stay there. You shouldn't have gone anyway. Since Third Brother is heading west, I will go east. I will go from Jiangdong, cross Jianghuai, go to Fengpei, and then enter Qi. I will see if the two brothers, the King of Qi and the King of Jiaodong, can take on the important task."
Luo Xin's trip to Qi was naturally not for the so-called split bet.
The Luo family disdains to place bets separately, and they don't even care much about the merits of supporting the emperor. No matter how great the merits are, as long as the descendants are not worthy, they can be lost within two or three generations. The Luo family has an endless supply of talents, and there will always be a day when they will turn the tide. This is the confidence of the Luo family.
The reason why Luo Xin did not go to Liu Bang was simply because, for a son of the Luo family to follow Liu Bang was not a big deal, it could be said that they had a good relationship and it was a personal behavior, but since two people were under his command, it would give a wrong signal to others.
Luo Cai knew that she was too concerned and said apologetically, "Fourth brother, I was the one who said something wrong and almost ruined the family's event."
Luo Xin smiled softly and said, "It's okay. It's a good thing that you care about your brother."

Ancient scholars and hermits liked to express their feelings in the mountains and rivers, especially the hermit culture that began in the Qin and Han dynasties. This must be said to be influenced by Luo. This influence even continues to this day. We can see a description in various cultural works that a great man who can change the world is hidden in a small village. - "Luo Culture"
