"Yes!"
Liu Hong nodded slowly and said,""You started from a humble background and are like a floating duckweed in the officialdom. I think many people have come to rope you in these days!”
"However, I have seen your performance. I am very satisfied!”
"Now, the aristocrats monopolize power, making it difficult for me to move forward in the court! I need to set up a benchmark outside of the gentry clans and make this benchmark a sword to fight against the gentry clans!”
At this point, Liu Hong stared at Luo Xuan with a burning gaze and said,"And you are such a sword!"
"Because of my exceptional promotion, coupled with your previous behavior of refusing guests, you have already become a thorn in the side of many aristocrats!”
"You…Will you blame me?"
Facing Liu Hong's scrutinizing gaze, Luo Xuan calmly smiled and said,""Isn't it my honor?"
Liu Hong was slightly stunned by his words.
Obviously, he didn't expect Luo Xuan to answer like this.
Luo Xuan then smiled and replied," Just as Your Majesty said, I started from a humble background. If I want to stand firm in this officialdom, I have to obtain the recognition of those families. If I suck up to them well enough, I will join them. Or go against them and become a sword in His Majesty's hands!”
"Actually, the decision was made long ago!”
He had no choice, right?
The weak had no right to choose.
Liu Hong remained silent.
After a while, Liu Hong suddenly laughed."Hahaha!"
After he finished laughing, he stared at Luo Xuan with a sharp gaze and said,""I hope you can remember what I said today. Guard the northern border for me and kill the arrogance of the Hu tribe. In the future, there will be a day when you enter Luoyang's imperial court! I promise!"
.......
Apart from the palace gates, Luo Xuan turned around and looked at the palace. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he thought to himself,""You promise? No! You can't guarantee anything! Because you probably won't be able to see this day!”
Liu Hong's promise was meaningless to him.
However, he couldn't act recklessly in the next few years, so Luo Xuan didn't mind following Liu Hong's words!
As for becoming Liu Hong's sword?
He stood on the opposite side of many aristocrats?
Between the gentry clans, there were only interests and no absolute standpoints.
As long as the benefits he brought to them were attractive enough, he believed that these people would still be willing to be friends with him.
Of course, He Jin might not be happy about his lack of tactfulness.
But who would care about him?
Luo Xuan had never seen He Jin in his eyes. With Liu Hong backing him up, he was not afraid of He Jin.
On the same day, Luo Xuan packed his things and left the posthouse with Zhao Yun and the others. They left Luoyang's East Gate, crossed the Yellow River from Mengjin, and walked into Shangdang County.
"I'll leave this place to you guys to slowly torment! I will return in the future!"
Apart from Luoyang's East Gate, Luo Xuan turned his head to look at the magnificent Great Han City that was suffused with a decaying aura. This sentence appeared in his heart, and then he left on his horse.
........
Luoyang, Yuan Manor.
Yuan Feng played with a business proposal in his hand and said with a playful look,""This Luo Xuan is quite interesting! It's not simple!"
Luo Xuan had sent people from the Luo Clan Chamber of Commerce to deliver this matter.
It contained a series of business plans that would allow the Yuan family to earn huge profits in the next few years.
"Indeed!"
Yuan Shao nodded. However, his speech, demeanor, and temperament were all extraordinary! He's an ambitious person!"
"Tsk!"
When Yuan Shu heard this, he curled his lips and said,"I don't see any temperament or bearing! He's just a lucky kid!”
Obviously, Yuan Shu didn't like Luo Xuan.
Compared to his family background, what was Luo Xuan?
"What nonsense are you spouting, you unfilial son?”
When Yuan Feng heard this, he was instantly enraged. He glared at Yuan Shu and scolded," This man has rejected everyone on the surface, but Tian Zi, the only person he can rely on, has been prepared in secret. He continues to curry favor and bind us with commercial interests. Doesn't that prove his schemes?”
"Look at yourself!"
"Did you stand properly? Did you sit or not? What future? You're not even as good as Shao 'er! Humph!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he maintained a faint smile on his face and did not speak.
When Yuan Shu saw this scene, his heart instantly exploded with anger.
However, he could only suppress Yuan Feng's anger and sit upright obediently. As he listened to Yuan Feng's reprimand, deep hatred rose in his heart, whether it was for Yuan Shao or Yuan Feng.
This situation had not happened for a day or two.
Every time, he would be reprimanded by Yuan Feng.
He always used Yuan Shao as an example.
He had really had enough!
He was the legitimate son of the Yuan Family, and Yuan Shao was merely a bastard son. Why did Yuan Feng think of him in everything?
"It must be because I'm not the only Di son! That must be the case! If I have the chance, I'll definitely kill that Yuan Ji and Yuan Feng, you old thing!”
"At that time, I will be the only Di son left in the entire Yuan family. I want to see who those old things in the family will support!”
Yuan Shu said ruthlessly in his heart.
As for Yuan Shao, he hated him deeply. However, he was not prepared to kill him so quickly.
He wanted Yuan Shao to see him become the only Di son and gain the support of the entire Yuan Family.
At that time, he would crush Yuan Shao to death under his despairing expression.
Thinking of that scene, Yuan Shu was filled with anticipation and joy.
.......
He Jin's residence.
"How dare that yellow-haired brat look down on me?”
At this moment, He Jin was furious when he learned that Luo Xuan had left.
Previously, he had repeatedly tried to rope Luo Xuan in, but in the end, he was ignored.
It would be strange if he was happy!
Unfortunately, he could not touch Luo Xuan now.
He was even scolded by Liu Hong today.
Liu Hong also warned He Jin that Luo Xuan was his man and could not be touched!
........
On Luo Xuan's side, he followed the official road, passing Huguan, Hao County, Jinyang, and all the way north.
Five days later, they finally arrived at Yin Mansion City, Yanmen Prefecture.
Looking at the familiar city gate tower, Luo Xuan grinned.""We're back!"
"Hohoho!"
At this moment, Gu Xiang rode his horse out of the city gate. From afar, he waved his hand and shouted at Luo Xuan,"Ah Xuan! Over here! Over here! You're finally back!"
"Brat! Be steady!"
At this moment, another man and horse rushed out of the city gate and shouted at Gu Xiang.
It was Gu Yu who had received the news in advance.
Behind him was a large group of people.
Even Ziyu and Hongxiu rode out to welcome Luo Xuan home.
"Young Master! Welcome back!"
"Young Master!"
"My lord!"
Ziyu, Luo Fu, Luo Shang, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and the others who had returned from Jizhou all came over and dismounted to greet Luo Xuan.
"Haha!"
Luo Xuan also smiled happily and waved his hand.""Let's not stay here. Let's go home first and catch up!”
As he spoke, he brought a large group of people into the city and rushed towards the Luo residence.
