Chapter 441: Two Years Later (3)
“That’s right.” Shen Miao said, “But it’s also an opportunity.”
“Cousin, what kind of opportunity do you think this is?” Luo Ling asked with a smile.
“It’s not easy for the Luo army to be reorganized in the past two years. His Majesty wants to make use of it. Although the higher we are, the more danger we will face, the Luo army already has the power to protect us. The Luo army is rebuilt by the Luo family and will only listen to the Luo family’s command, not the emperor. This is the Luo family’s own army, not Ming Qi’s. If the Luo army is benefited, the Luo family will also be benefited.”
It was said that all the lands in the world belong to the Emperor, and all the people in the world are Emperor’s people. Shen Miao clearly separated the Luo family from Ming Qi. If Luo Sui heard this, he would probably faint from anger. Such treacherous words clearly showed one’s ambition for rebellion. However, when the juniors of the Luo family heard this, although they were surprised, they did not feel angry.
Unlike their ancestors, when the younger generation of the Luo family was born, the Luo family was already on the decline. The royal family did not allocate money and forgot about the Luo army at the border. The younger generation had complaints and grudges, so over time, their loyalty towards the Imperial court was gradually worn away.
After a moment of silence, a trace of fanaticism appeared in Luo Sa’s eyes. He said, “Cousin Miao, you’re right.” He was violent and impulsive, completely different from Luo Ling. He rarely praised anyone. At this moment, it was obvious that he agreed with Shen Miao.
Luo Ling approved Shen Miao’s words too.
Luo Qian and Luo Tan were young and believed Shen Miao’s words for no reason. Therefore, the juniors all reached a consensus that it was a good thing that the Luo army was allocated money.
“Speaking of which.” Luo Tan leaned on the table and looked at Shen Miao. “Little Cousin, you are already 16 years old. Yesterday, one of my friends came to ask me if you’re married. If not, she wants to introduce her brother to you. Little Cousin, do you want to go and see him?”
Luo Qian cut in, “What nonsense are you talking about? Little Cousin is only 16 years old. You’re already 18 years old. Why don’t you worry about yourself?”
“Why should I worry about myself?” Luo Tan shook her head. “I’m so beautiful and smart. Even at the age of 80, people will still propose marriage to me. I’m just worried about my little cousin. She’s so soft and weak. She needs someone to protect her. Luo Qian, if you continue to be so not gentlemanly, I guarantee that no girl will marry you in the future!”
“Who said that no girl will marry me?” Luo Qian said indignantly, “If that’s really the case, there’s still my little cousin, right? My little cousin is kind-hearted. When that day comes, she will marry me and help me out, right?”
Luo Tan slapped his face away and said, “Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Brother Ling and Brother Sa are not married yet. Everyone is better than you. Brother Ling and Brother Sa, don’t you want to marry Cousin Miao?”
Caught off guard by this sudden question, Luo Ling was stunned and blushed slightly. Luo Sa coughed and turned his head away. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Luo Tan did not notice it at all. She smiled and rested her chin on her hand. “Little cousin, tell me, what kind of man do you like? A handsome man? A rich man? A good martial artist? A poet?”
Shen Miao looked at Luo Tan. Although the eyes of the three men in the room were darting around, their ears perked up. Shen Miao said, “Someone who can beat my brother.”
