What kind of heart, what can't stand it, what preparation?
Could it be that what Gao Xian said that day is true, is Ah Chen really going to leave with him?
It was as if a fine needle had been pricked in his heart, no blood was seen, but the painful Gao Yu almost bent down.
Gao Yu suddenly realized a fact - no matter how good they are on weekdays, no matter how close their relationship is, there is always a layer of estrangement between them.
Lou Chen is not his sword, will not always be by his side, will not always pay attention to him, protect him, care about him...
Lou Chen will leave one day to follow his beliefs and ideals, and to be loyal to the person he wants to follow, and he is probably just an important role in Lou Chen's life, but he will not occupy all the attention.
They are just friends, there is no blood bond, no oath of loyalty, Lou Chen will not be loyal to him, nor will he...
He stopped his progress, quietly looked at Gao Xian who was smiling all over his face and Lou Chen who was slightly raised at the corner of his mouth, and for the first time, he had a different emotion in his heart.
He is jealous of Gao Xian, very jealous!
Gao Yu didn't bother the two of them, he was afraid that when he stood in front of them, the boredom in his heart would burst out, he was afraid that he would say some hurtful words, he was afraid that he would disappoint Lou Chen.
Turning around as if nothing happened, Gao Yu put away the disappointment in his eyes and walked in the opposite direction.
It wasn't until the end of the martial arts class that nothing happened, listening to the loud and noisy voice, discussing with him what to have for dinner.
His attitude was still the same as usual, but not too affectionate, but Lou Chen, who had been paying attention to him, for some reason, felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the smile on the corner of Gao Yu's mouth.
He always felt that Gao Yu's attitude was strange, with a bit of loneliness and alienation.
But just when he was about to say something, Gao Yu raised his head and looked over, the smile that pierced his eyes dispelled Lou Chen's worries.
Lou Chen shook his head, thinking: he must be thinking too much, Gao Yu's temper is very different from his previous life, and he can no longer judge according to the past.
Today's Gao Yu is not "wearing a mask", let alone deceiving him deliberately.
After dinner, Gao Xian patted his chubby belly, and dragged Lou Chen away contentedly.
Gao Yu didn't hold back much this time, he only reminded the two to be careful on the way back, and then returned to Hanxiang Hall.
As usual, Lou Chen sent Gao Xian back to the palace first, but this time the atmosphere was not as lively as usual.
After Gao Xian got into the carriage, he didn't say much, and he didn't even look at Lou Chen.
Gao Xian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly turned around, looked at Lou Chen with a solemn expression, and said with a serious face, "Lou Zhijian, I'm ready!"
As soon as Gao Xian changed his name, Lou Chen knew that his identity had changed, he was no longer a close friend, but his master, Prince Jing's son.
But even so, Lou Chen almost laughed when he looked at His Royal Highness, who looked serious and frowning like a wrinkled bun.
It took a lot of patience to suppress the smile, and said softly: "Your Highness already knows the answer."
As clever as Gao Xian, he knew that his guess was right as soon as he heard it.
"So Lou Zhijian, you really don't plan to go back to the northwest with Ben Gong?" In fact, Gao Xian had already guessed the answer the moment Lou Chen hesitated to answer in the racecourse just now.
Lou Chen put away the smile that didn't reach the corner of his mouth, stood up and kowtowed: "Thank you King Jing and His Royal Highness for your support, Lou Chen can't repay you..."
"Stop, stop, stop talking." Gao Xian was tired of listening to polite words, especially from Lou Chen's mouth, those words were nice but they were just perfunctory words for face.
He had sincere friendship and hoped that Lou Chen would reciprocate with sincerity, so even though he already knew the answer, he did not give up and still wanted to persuade him to stay: "Lou Zhijian, you have to think clearly, as long as you go back to the northwest with Ben Gong, you will be able to return to the Northwest with me. I believe that your ability will emerge in the army in a short time. Nanliang is also the easiest place in the northwest to accumulate military merits. When the time comes, follow your father's path, practice for a few years and earn a body of glory. Your father will push you again, at a young age It is not difficult to easily hold the military power and become a powerful person, why do you..."
Gao Xian's last words stopped in Lou Chen's resolute and resolute eyes.There was not only an unshakable firmness in those eyes, but also an emotion that he couldn't understand, like worry and distress.
Under such eyes, Gao Xian suddenly ran out of words and couldn't say a single word.
He knew that all persuasion or temptation would be futile, once Lou Chen made a decision, he would never waver.
And the fact is exactly as Gao Xian thought.
In fact, a few days ago, Lou Chen had already received a reply from his uncle.Unsurprisingly, there were only two words on the letter: "Self-determined."
Although due to various reasons in these years, Lou Chen has not been able to go back to the southwest to see his uncle, but the relationship between the two has never faded because of the distance.He understood the meaning of every word of his uncle, just as his uncle understood him.
Lou Chen bears the future of the Lou Clan, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace are all on his shoulders, and if he makes a wrong move, he may be doomed, but even so, Lou Ye still entrusts all the decision-making power to Lou Chen's hands.
He doesn't want to control Lou Chen's life, and he doesn't want himself to be Lou Chen's concern. The word "self-determination" seems simple, but it represents Lou Ye's attitude as the head of the Lou family—no matter what Lou Chen does. He will unreservedly trust and support any decision.
Gao Xian was wilted, his eyebrows drooped slowly, and he looked aggrieved, like an abandoned puppy, so pitiful.
He pouted, looked at Lou Chen pitifully, and struggled for the last time: "Lou Zhijian, do you really not think about it..."
But Lou Chen's answer still persisted: "Please make it possible for Prince Jing and His Royal Highness."
"Ah..." Gao Xian propped his chin and looked depressed, "Why is my life so miserable, I finally fell in love with someone, and wanted to kidnap him back to be a close friend, but he still doesn't like him... Woooooo, this Prince Jing's son It's so boring to do..."
In terms of acting like a spoiled child, the entire Nanliang Gaoxian recognized him as the second, and no one dared to recognize him as the first.
As soon as his mouth shrunk and his eyes turned red, Gao Xian's tears immediately fell down. Seeing the intermittent sobbing and hoarse crying, other people's hearts hurt when they saw it.
But Lou Chen is no one else, he has been by Gao Xian's side for almost four years, he has long been used to His Royal Highness's nonchalant temperament, and he is accustomed to this kind of behavior, so at this time he did not rush to comfort him, but just stood aside silently Seeing that Gao Xian had cried enough and finished the performance, he silently found a brocade handkerchief from the hidden compartment and handed it over.
"Thank you..." Gao Xian took the brocade handkerchief, wiped away two drops of tears and snot, and said with a sob, "Lou Zhijian, you are so cruel and ruthless, you are not pitiful."
The expression on Lou Chen's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "If your Highness is willing, you can go to the street and cry for a while, and there will be many people willing to 'poor'."
"No matter how many people there are, it's not you, Lou Zhijian." Gao Xian stuffed the brocade handkerchief that had wiped his nose and tears into Lou Chen's hand, "Lou Zhijian, if you learn badly from Brother Huang, you will bully people."
Lou Chen was dumbfounded, he was just used to it...
Gao Xian didn't have much hope to abduct Lou Chen back, so he wasn't too disappointed, but he was a little regretful: "You have already made a decision, so I won't persuade you much. FD."
Lou Chen nodded: "Your official will be careful."
"However, I'm still unwilling to let Lou Zhijian go like this..." Gao Xian stroked his chin with a calculating expression on his face, "How about this, I'll ask three questions, and if you answer these three questions, Lou Zhijian If everything satisfies me, then forget about it. If you are not satisfied, hehe..."
What is "satisfaction"?
Lou Chen couldn't help smiling wryly, it really wasn't that easy to let go.
But after thinking about it, it was just three questions, no matter how precocious Gao Xian was, he might not be able to ask any profound questions.Therefore, Lou Chen hesitated for a while, but still agreed, which was considered as a reward for Gao Xian's help these days.
But Lou Chen didn't expect that Gao Xian's first question made him dumbfounded.
Putting on a big smile, Gao Xian blinked his almond eyes, and with a calculated expression on his face, he looked at Lou Chen and said, "Lou Zhijian, is it because of Brother Huang that you stayed?"
Lou Chen was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, he held his stiff fingers on the hilt of the sword, and it took him a long time to let it go. He nodded in embarrassment, and admitted: "Yes..."
Seeing this, Gao Xian was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Then the second question, have you and Brother Huang known each other for a long time?"
Now Lou Chen not only blushed, but also broke out in cold sweat down his back.
He looked up at Gao Xian in astonishment, with a clear questioning in his eyes: "Why do you ask such a question, Your Highness?"
"I guessed it too." Gao Xian Baozi smiled, revealing two small dimples, "I heard from Brother Huang that the first time he saw you, Lou Zhijian, he felt familiar. But when he asked you later, you denied it, and even claimed that you had never been to the Northwest..."
Lou Chen replied in a low voice: "That's true..."
"But when I was running horses at the racecourse a few days ago, I overheard you mentioning a sentence to the stableman, teaching him how to distinguish reed fescue from prairie fescue. Others may not know it, but prairie fescue But I know the grass very well. It is a kind of weed that can only be found in the northwest. It has low edible value, but because it grows very similar to reed-shaped fescue, it is sometimes used by unscrupulous traders to pretend to be reed. Lou Zhijian said that he has never been to the Northwest, so how could he know grassland fescue, which is extremely rare in the south?"
Lou Chen was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly he had deceived Gao Yu, but because of such a trivial matter, he was negligent and revealed his truth.
Sure enough, a wise man is bound to make a mistake. Although he can't be called a wise man, he was seen through by a little guy like Gao Xian... He is really not good at these deceitful and cunning things.
His brows clustered into the word "Chuan" in an instant, Lou Chen knew that he had no way to quibble, so he could only admit, "Yes."
"Sure enough!" Gao Xian clapped his hands and was very excited, as if a chess fan could break a chess game, he felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
Hehe, it turned out to be exactly what he thought...
But the next moment Gao Yu frowned again: "That's not right... Lou Zhijian, after the Chinese New Year, the Emperor's brother will leave the palace to build a mansion, and in a few years' time he will grow up with his hair tied up, and he will go to the fiefdom. It is impossible for you to follow Lou Zhijian, you can only stay with him in the capital for two or three years at most, is it really necessary to stay like this?"
Lou Chen shook his head and said softly, "I don't want to be with His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I just want to help him when he needs it."
He just wanted to guard Gao Yu from afar to protect him from growing up safely, to pave the way for him to smooth the thorns in the road ahead, and to help him ascend to the supreme position in the world.
Gao Xian hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and after thinking hard for a long time, he understood the meaning of Lou Chen's words, and said with a sigh: "Lou Zhijian really worked hard for the sake of the emperor..."
Lou Chen smiled and didn't say much, just asked: "Didn't you say three questions? Is there one more?"
"Ah, yes...the third question." Gao Xian's dark eyes rolled around, and then he leaned into Lou Chen's ear, and asked mysteriously, "Lou holding the sword, What is the relationship between your father, that is, General Lou and my father...?"
The author has something to say: Gao Yu: Ah Chen is not leaving, Ah Chen is not leaving, Ah Chen is not leaving! ! !
Gao Xian [picks his nose]: Brother Huang, don't be too happy.
Gao Yu [(╬ ̄dish ̄)]: What do you mean!
Lou Chen: Friends, have you experienced despair?
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
The third day without a list, think about it, think about it...
Thank you for the cardinals swimming in the water, and the baby Wei Yuan from the Shu Mo family for throwing thunder. This feeling of being taken care of by local tyrants is amazing!
PS, grow up within five chapters, damn it, it's not easy, and I'm finally going to grow up! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
