Traveling through an ancient military camp: Bao'er's survival song

Luo Binghe, the youngest legitimate son of the General's Mansion, has always loved to show off and be in the limelight since he was a child.

After successfully shooting his first arrow at the age of five, he took his little wooden bow and toured the General's mansion, demonstrating to his grandmother, mother, various aunts, and many of his older brothers and sisters. After each performance, Xiao Luo Binghe would look at them expectantly with his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes and ask, "Wasn't it amazing? Grandmother/Mother/Aunt/Brother/Sister, don't you think I'm amazing?"

Six-year-old Luo Binghe was dazzled by the heroic figure of his grandfather, the Great General who had returned victorious from a great victory, and begged for a pony as well. The first thing he did after learning to ride was to ride his swift horse to school, showing off to his classmates, who were sons of noble families, that he could ride a horse.

When he was just eight years old, Xiao Luo Binghe could not only hit the target every time he shot an arrow from ten meters away, but he also began to try drawing the bow on horseback.

Yes, Luo Binghe not only loved to show off and be arrogant since he was a child, he also loved to squirm.

He was a boy with boundless energy, and with the support of the General's Mansion's abundant resources, he was far ahead of the competition when it came to showing off.

However, after turning eight, Luo Binghe had to suppress his showy nature because he became the young prince's study companion—a profession where one could not easily show off.

Being a tutor to the Crown Prince was a royal favor, a gift bestowed upon the entire loyal and righteous family of the Grand General's household.

At the end of that year, General Luo was assassinated by Qiang assassins, Luo Binghe's second uncle was poisoned, Luo Binghe's father, General Luo, went missing, and Luntu City fell.

The entire General's Mansion was left with only the elderly, women, and children; apart from the frail Third Uncle, there was no other adult male.

The emperor was a wise ruler.

The emperor did not punish the general's family for the fall of Luntu City; instead, he grieved the passing of General Luo, a pillar of the nation.

After holding a grand funeral for General Luo and his second uncle, the emperor brought Luo Binghe into the palace.

That day, the aged emperor, still standing tall and imposing, dismissed everyone and said to eight-year-old Luo Binghe, "I will not let my Great General who protects the nation die in vain. I will always believe in the loyalty of the Luo family army to me. You are the grandson of General Luo, you must believe in your grandfather and father, and you must become strong. From now on, you will be the Crown Prince's right-hand man, and in the future, you must also be a pillar of our Great Han Dynasty!"

The disappearance of General Luo and the fall of Luntu City led to some conspiracy theories about the Luo family army in the court. Although the emperor suppressed these doubts with swift and decisive measures, the young Luo Binghe was still uneasy.

Although he loved to show off and was prone to making trouble, he also possessed the keen political acumen of a scion of a noble family. When he couldn't sleep soundly amidst his anxieties about whether his father had betrayed the country, it was the emperor who calmed his mind.

From that day on, young Luo Binghe became completely devoted to the emperor.

Crown Prince Liu Xu was precocious, unlike Luo Binghe, who tried hard to appear composed as his study companion; he was genuinely composed. When the five-year-old Crown Prince and the eight-year-old Luo Binghe were together, it often gave people the illusion that the Crown Prince was the older brother.

But Luo Binghe knew that it was because the Crown Prince was the ruler, and he was the subject.

Not only was he a subject, but the Crown Prince's brothers were also subjects, and the Eighth Prince, the son of the Emperor's most beloved Consort Chen, was an even greater subject.

Luo Binghe dislikes the Eighth Prince.

Whether it was the Eighth Prince's mild-mannered nature that made Luo Binghe look down on him, or the fact that the Eighth Prince's mother, Consort Chen, was favored by the Emperor, Luo Binghe felt threatened by Liu Xu's position as Crown Prince, Luo Binghe disliked the Eighth Prince from the first moment he saw him, and even the Eighth Prince's birth time made him feel unhappy.
