Lou Xiaoyi nodded. In a field that he was not familiar with, he trusted the judgment of people with experience. When it came to the throne, there were too many involved. He had no intention of judging who would eventually take the throne. He just trusted his parents. They were the most experienced and well-informed.
"Why does the second uncle have to hug the third prince's thighs? Wouldn't it be nice to hug someone else? Or, hold one in each hand?
With so many people crowded together, there is no merit!”
Mr. Lou Yao glared at him, but his son felt relaxed. He didn't know whether it was because he was confident or because he was fearless as a young tiger.
"If he wants to embrace someone else, he has to have a chance! A general like your second uncle who is just a false name wants military power but not military power, and appeals but not charisma. Who cares about him? Only the third prince who has many good relationships can accept him.
I’m afraid he is not the core yet!”
Lou Xiaoyi was speechless. What do you think you are doing in such an embarrassing position? Isn't it better to just wait for the new king to take over and just follow the crowd? You regard a general title as a big deal. If you don't have the ability, you can live here.
What?
"Mom, what is your purpose? Do you want to make your second uncle rich? Or is it better to save your life?" This was Lou Xiaoyi's last question.
Lou Yao spat, "Prosperity and wealth? How can I think about him? Just be a rich man honestly, don't lose your life, don't bring trouble to the family, that's my only wish!"
Lou Xiaoyi laughed, "Okay, okay, if my mother asked me to go to Zhaoye to help my second uncle build a career, I really wouldn't dare to go!"
In this way, my son will set out immediately, sooner rather than later, to save his uncle's family from disaster and turn the tide from imminent collapse!"
Mr. Lou Yao grabbed him and scolded him with a smile: "I feel relieved that Xiao Yi is so relaxed, but I have a few rules. You must agree before leaving, otherwise you will not be allowed to go!"
Lou Xiaoyi was helpless, "Mother, you can't put a tight spell on me..."
Lou Yao looked at him steadily, "There are three things you must obey me!
First, life is the most important thing in everything, not other people’s lives, nor your second uncle’s life, but your life!
Once there is danger, leave immediately. I know you have the ability! If you fail to do it, it is only because you want to gamble!
I don't allow you to gamble!
You have to know that even the combined members of the Zhaoye Yao family are not as important as you alone. This is not your life alone, but also the life of me and your Aunt Cai!
Do you understand?"
Lou Xiaoyi nodded, "Mom, I promise you!"
Lou Yao grabbed him tightly, "The reason why I want you to go is just to do something with some room for maneuver in case of emergency. This is an assumption, not a necessity!
You have no mission to go to Zhaoye Kingdom, and I have no specific requirements! Because we all know how insignificant an individual is in the entire national system! Even your practice circle is isolated from secular power, and you have only been practicing for a few years.
How do young people challenge themselves?
Therefore, my second request is to just sit back and watch!
You can do something before something happens; but once the deal is done, don’t try to change it! Don’t use your personal power to challenge an imperial power that has existed for thousands of years!”
Lou Xiaoyi allowed his mother to shake him and said softly: "I understand! I'm just a little stronger than ordinary people!"
Mrs. Lou Yao has already begun to regret that she should not have told her son, because she knows that this son always has his own ideas and looks easy-going and quiet, but in fact he is very bold!
"Third point, don't try to get in touch with people in the court. They are all old foxes. They do one thing before others and another after others!
I won’t even recommend your father’s most trusted students to you! Because I can’t guarantee that they will help you without hesitation when faced with the rise and fall of the family, instead of considering their own family!
If you are just down and out, they will reach out without hesitation; but in the face of life and death, there is no justice!
The only person you can trust is your third uncle, but he may not be taking care of the night now!
So I ask you to think about the problem the way you practitioners do! Simple and clear!
If you can do it, do it! If you can’t do it, just leave!
Is that okay?”
Lou Xiaoyi laughed and said, "Mother, you really should practice spiritual practice! You are born with this character!"
Lou Yao rarely cursed: "I have a ghost mentality! I'm just a mother who doesn't want her children to be in danger! If I recognize other practitioners, you won't even have a chance to leave the house. !
You haven’t promised me yet!”
Lou Xiaoyi took a long breath and said solemnly, "I promise you!"
In the morning of the same day, Lou Xiaoyi left the Lou Mansion with one person and two horses. He went to the Gobi every day for a wild run. He was very well prepared for his usual travels. All the cultivation items were placed in the Najie. As for the others, as long as he brought enough money. , what can’t be bought?
He must seize the time. No matter what he does when the time comes, he must arrive as early as possible to deal with it. If this unlucky second uncle has made a blood oath with others, it may be too late to do anything.
After leaving Pucheng, entering Cangman, and crossing Liangping, you will find the All-Night Avenue. This is one of the three large-scale highways built by Zhaoye Kingdom at a huge cost and with the strength of the whole country over hundreds of years. It is divided into east, west and north. , radiating outward from Zhaoye City, the capital of the country, the only area without roads is the south, where there are many rivers, lakes and swamps, making it impossible to build.
What Lou Xiaoyi got on was Xichi Avenue. Once on the flat road, the speed suddenly accelerated. Along both sides of the road, there were many towns and inns. It was very convenient to rest or replenish supplies. There was no need for it. Then consider where to rest when it gets late. As long as your physical strength allows, you can keep walking. Anyway, there will be a place to stay within a few miles.
The distance Lou Xiaoyi drives every day is several times that of ordinary people. For ordinary mortals, two hundred miles a day is the limit, but he can easily reach five or six hundred miles. In fact, he can continue, but two horses are needed. Rest, even if you are running on empty.
He has spiritual power in his body and can run it at any time. The weight the horse can feel is very limited, so it will naturally run faster and further.
Pucheng is more than 4,000 miles away from Zhaoye. This is a straight-line distance. In fact, the construction of Chidao is based on the distance between cities, so long detours are unavoidable. In the end, the distance of 4,000 miles is probably at least 6,000 miles. Even so, it was much easier than the road he took to Heming Mountain.
It's just on the road, and you don't get off the road to enjoy the scenery. You don't have to ask for directions frequently, and you don't have to look for bridges. It's very enjoyable to run down the road.
As we go eastward, the weather becomes clearer and clearer. Unlike when Pucheng is close to the Gobi Desert, the sky is sometimes foggy. The temperature is also rising and the accent is gradually changing. Lou Xiaoyi is traveling in his true identity this time. It is more convenient to be there, and secondly, this trip to Zhaoye cannot be hidden from anyone, so there is no need to sneak around.
