Roaming the universe, all thanks to your many dark skills!

With the addition of Juxian to the house, things suddenly became very different from before.

She took care of Rosen and Xiaodouzi's daily life in a meticulous and detailed manner, which made Rosen sigh that it was no wonder that some guys yearned for this time. It turned out that they were after this. It was so fucking corrupt.

At first, Xiaodouzi was a little uncomfortable and even a little repulsed by Juxian's appearance.

After all, he was used to serving Rosen, so he felt uncomfortable when someone suddenly showed up to take his job, especially since this person was bought by him. This made him regret his decision occasionally.

However, after a long time of getting along, Xiaodouzi got used to Juxian's meticulous care, and the latter was indeed very likable, so he was not as resistant as he was at the beginning.

The only person who might not like Juxian very much might be Gong Er, who came to learn opera from her again after hearing that Luo Sen had returned.

Ever since the first time she saw Juxian, Gong Er never gave her a good look and always looked at her with displeasure.

Especially one day when Xiaodouzi was looking at the two of them, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said, "You two look somewhat alike." After that, Gong Er disliked Juxian even more.

But even though she disliked Juxian, Gong Er couldn't do anything about it.

After all, Juxian is a servant of the Rosen family and she has no control over her.

Later, when she heard that Juxian was bought by Xiaodouzi, Gong Er looked at Xiaodouzi with eyes as cold as darts, and while the two were fighting each other, she used her family's Baguazhang to hit Xiaodouzi twice.

After a while, Gong Er found Xiao Douzi and offered to buy Juxian with money.

But Xiaodouzi, who was usually easy to talk to, was quite determined this time and refused to agree no matter what.

This also gave Gong Er a lot of small beans to use as punching targets.

……

Time is like running water, the capital is like a stage, all parties come on stage one after another, and everyone sings in a noisy and bustling atmosphere. In the chaotic years, life still has to go on.

Before they knew it, it was 1928. Gong Er, Xiao Douzi and Juxian were already sixteen or seventeen years old, and at that age they were old enough to get married.

Rosen, however, is still the same as before, as if time has had no effect on him at all.

This made Gong Er more convinced of her original guess: he must be a swordsman who played the game. Her heart was filled with curiosity and yearning.

During these years, Luo Sen also met Gong Er's father Gong Baosen several times. (Note)

Speaking of this person, his experience is quite legendary. Although he is a Han Chinese, he once served as the leader of the guards in the Qing court and was awarded the title of fourth-rank sword-bearing guard.

In the year of Gengzi, he escorted the emperor to Xi'an and was awarded a yellow jacket for his efficient work.

In 1905, after seeing the corruption and incompetence of the Qing court and becoming disillusioned with fame, Gong Baosen resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown.

It was not until 1922 that he was invited by the King of Northeast China to serve as a martial arts coach for the Fengtian Army, but in fact he was his bodyguard.

The Fengtian clique has been growing in power in recent years and has been expanding its territory southwards since 1924. The King of the Northeast even established a military government in the capital in June last year, claiming to be the Grand Marshal of the Army and Navy and "exercising ruling power on behalf of the Republic of China." He attempted to divide the country into north and south with the Yellow River as the boundary, which inevitably led to hatred from all parties.

As a bodyguard, Gong Baosen naturally never leaves his side.

Of course, when he took a few days off occasionally, he had to check on his daughter, so he found out that she was secretly learning acting from Rosen. Afterwards, he would inevitably visit her and help her.

As a result, of course Rosen did not lose and Gong Baosen did not win.

However, since then, he no longer restricted Gong Er from learning opera.

In April, under the attack of the four major army groups of Chiang, Feng, Yan and Gui, the Fengtian Army collapsed across the board.

On May 5, seeing that the situation was hopeless, the King of Northeast issued an order for a general retreat.

That night, Gong Baosen, who had rarely visited since their last collaboration, came to visit quietly under the cover of darkness.

"Brother Luo, I have always known that you are a man of great talent. Although you live in seclusion in the bustling city, you have the ability to rule the world..." As soon as Gong Baosen saw Luo Sen, he bowed and began to flatter him.

"Stop it." Rosen waved his hand to stop him, saying, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't try to fool me. The more you do that, the more I suspect you have some plans for me."

"Brother Luo, you worry too much!" Gong Baosen said awkwardly.

"Let's get down to business."

"The Marshal is doomed to fail this time and will return to Fengtian soon, and I will accompany him." Gong Baosen said.

"Oh." Rosen was startled and said, "After making so much noise for so long, it's time for him to leave the stage. However, others get flowers and applause, but what awaits him is probably assassination and bombs."

Hearing this, Gong Baosen smiled bitterly and said, "No matter what the future holds, since I have taken their salary, I will have to accompany them for a while."

"Then be careful." Rosen said.

"I just tried my best." Gong Baosen didn't care much about life and death, but then he added: "The only person I can't let go of is Gong Er..."

As he spoke, he stood up, bowed to Rosen, and said solemnly: "If I really have any mishaps on this trip, I hope Brother Luo will take care of her for me, considering that we have known each other for a while."

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Rosen waved his hand and said, "You should take care of my daughter yourself."

"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Luo." Gong Baosen laughed dryly twice and said, "I have the Gong family's sixty-four moves here..."

"Don't worry." Rosen waved his hand to stop him before he finished speaking, saying, "If it were normal times, I would listen to you carefully, but today, you better keep your words to yourself."

"You live well and pass on your skills to your descendants in the future. There is no need for an outsider like me to do it for you," said Rosen.

Gong Baosen was moved and helpless after hearing this.

He didn't expect that the two things he secretly came here to entrust to Rosen were both blocked. He smiled bitterly in his heart but could do nothing about Rosen.

After the two chatted for a while, Gong Baosen said goodbye and left.

On June 6, the King of Northeast China once again declared his withdrawal from Beijing.

Rosen knew what the outcome would be if he went there, but he was too lazy to try to stop him.

People like the King of Northeastern China may have some sense of justice in their hearts, but they are mostly selfish. Rosen couldn't figure out whether it was good or bad for him to be alive, so he simply didn't interfere and let his life and death depend on his own fate.

On the morning of June 6, when the King of Northeast was traveling back to Fengtian by car and passing by Huanggutun Station, he was seriously injured by the explosives buried by the Japanese Kwantung Army. He died after being sent back to Fengtian.

That night, Gong Baosen found Rosen again.

This time, there was no greeting or flattery. He just said, "As Brother Luo expected, the Marshal was indeed ambushed by the enemy when he left Beijing. His life or death is uncertain..."

Note: Gong Baosen, whose pen name is Haneda, can be written as either name when writing.

I think it’s better to use a formal name.
