噺⑧One Chinese Network
who?
Looking at the dozen or so figures who suddenly came out of the dense forest in front, Chu Hen's heart tightened, and he subconsciously protected Luo Mengshang behind him, with a hint of caution on his face.
"Father..."
But then, Luo Mengshang shouted in surprise.
father?
One of the eight major families in Yueyong City, the head of the Luo family, Luo Qiong?
Chu Hen was stunned, and saw that the people who came did not have any dangerous aura, and the leader was a middle-aged man in his forties.
The man was dressed in brocade and long gown, he had an extraordinary bearing, his face was like a crown of jade, and his appearance was very handsome.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that there are a lot of white silk between the temples of the other party, and there are shallow grooves on the forehead...
This is obviously the trace left by years of hard work and many winds, frosts, rains and snows.
Even so, the middle-aged man in front of him still had a unique temperament.
"Miss..."
The people behind Luo Qiong saluted respectfully in unison.
"Father, why are you here?"
Luo Mengshang walked in front of Chu Hen, but did not immediately return to Luo Qiong's side, but looked at him with surprise.
Luo Qiong didn't answer, and looked at Chu Hen with slightly vicissitudes of eyes, and said, "Can I have a chat with my daughter alone?"
Chu Hen was stunned for a moment, and replied a little caught off guard, "Of course..." He clasped his hands together and saluted politely, "Younger Chu Hen, I have met Patriarch Luo."
Luo Qiong nodded with a smile, but the emotions contained in this smile were somewhat complicated.
Luo Mengshang was a little confused, she always felt that Luo Qiong was a little strange.
"Shang'er, come with me..." After Luo Qiong finished speaking, he took the lead to walk towards a narrow path in the forest.
"Go! I'll wait for you here."
Chu Hen said softly.
"En!" Luo Mengshang agreed softly, and then followed Luo Qiong's footsteps and left.
...
However, not long after the two left, another team appeared here.
This group of people was none other than members of other families in Yueyong City, and Cang Yuanzhe was among them.
"Hey, what a coincidence, I ran into you here."
Cang Yuanzhe looked at Chu Hen playfully and said.
Chu Hen frowned, and ignored the other party.
However, to Chu Hen's surprise, the members of the Luo family did not greet Cang Yuanzhe and his party.
Obviously, before this, the two parties may have met each other.
...
Seeing that Chu Hen was ignoring him, Cang Yuanzhe said mockingly, "What are you still doing here?"
"What's none of your business?" Chu Hen responded with some displeasure.
"Hey, here are all people from my Yueyong City, isn't it a bit of an eyesore for you to stand here as an outsider?"
"If it hinders your eyes, you can go far away, no one will let you stand here."
"you……"
Cang Yuanzhe's face darkened slightly, and Chu Hen choked back a few words, somewhat ashamed. But he was helpless because he couldn't beat Chu Hen, so he didn't dare to do it.
Then he took a deep breath and said with a cold smile, "Hmph, to be honest, you can defeat Young Master Xue only by relying on the 'Lingtian Curse Seal', there is nothing special about it... If my elder brother Cang Yuzhe is here, The champion of the Sword Ceremony, how can it be your turn to get involved!"
Cang Yuzhe.
Young Master Yu, the head of the Four Great Masters.
Upon hearing this name, many people in the room had more or less admiration on their faces.
"Are you finished?" Chu Hen replied lightly.
"Hmph, with your background, how can you be worthy of Luo Mengshang. I advise you to die as soon as possible. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, she will soon be a member of our Cang family."
"What did you say?" Chu Hen's pupils shrank slightly, and a little frost came out on his face.
...
In the quiet woods, the fresh soil is moist and fresh.
A few rays of sunlight poured down through the treetops, looking extraordinarily soft.
Luo Qiong, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly,
After hesitating for a while, he turned around slowly, with fatherly pity in his gentle eyes.
"It seems that you like that young man very much!"
Luo Mengshang smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes rolled, "Well, he is indeed very attractive to me, and he is also very kind to me."
Luo Qiong hesitated for a moment, and said with some difficulty, "If you were asked to choose between him and Cang Yuzhe, who would you choose?"
Who would you choose?
A sudden sentence froze the smile on Luo Mengshang's face.
She stared blankly at the gentle middle-aged man in front of her, who knew her best!
Who will you choose?
This is not a question at all.
"Father, you?"
Luo Qiong didn't avoid Luo Mengshang's gaze, but the guilt between his brows became more and more intense. "I'm sorry, Chang'er."
"Is this the Cang family's request?" Luo Mengshang murmured.
Luo Qiong nodded, feeling indescribably complicated inside.
More than ten years ago, during the Taixiao City incident, the Luo family was expelled from the city by the Mu family, and fled all the way to Yueyong City... For the revival of the family, the Luo family was sent under the fence, like a slave.
No one is qualified to blame Luo Qiong, not even Luo Mengshang, because she knows that the other party has not made her feel wronged in the past few years.
Back then, between dignity and the family, Luo Qiong chose to let go of his dignity and protect the family.
Now, between happiness and family, how should Luo Mengshang choose?
...
"Father, give me time, and I will be able to take back Taixiao City with my own hands." Luo Mengshang looked at the other party firmly and said.
The hands on Luo Qiong's back were clenched into fists involuntarily.
Why doesn't he know how talented his daughter is, and he also understands that as long as she is given time, the Luo family will not be happy.
But at the same time, the Cang family also knew this.
That's why the Cang family restrained her so quickly.
With a long sigh, Luo Qiong shook his head helplessly, "If you marry Cang Yuzhe, the Cang family will immediately help us return to Taixiao City, regain the Taixiao Sword, and fulfill your grandfather's lifelong wish... "
The Cang family, the head of the eight major families in Yueyong City, is a first-class force.
With their strength, it is not difficult to take down the Mu Family in Taixiao City.
"Then what if I don't want to?" Luo Mengshang asked softly, frowning slightly.
"If you don't want to, the Cang family will take back all the property rights of the Luo family and expel us from Yueyong City."
"what?"
Luo Mengshang's face changed involuntarily, her jade hands clenched tightly, and her knuckles turned pale. She never expected that the Cang family would use such a condition as a threat.
Confiscating all the properties of the Luo family means that the entire family will have nothing.
And it was even more difficult than when fleeing from Taixiao City before.
There are nearly a thousand people in the Luo family, and they are displaced. What will they rely on to maintain their basic survival?
Especially once the Mu Family of Taixiao City learns that the Luo Family has lost the umbrella of the Cang Family, they will most likely come to add insult to injury.
At that time, there was not even a place for the Luo family in the vast territory of hundreds of countries.
This also means that the hard work of the past ten years will be in vain.
More importantly, with the Cang family's unstoppable behavior style, it's hard to imagine what kind of means will be used to limit Luo Mengshang's growth in the future.
...
The wheel of fate seems to be turning rapidly.
Luo Mengshang was a little dazed.
She is not a selfish person, it can be seen from her kindness to Chu Hen. Even though Chu Hen had already obtained a Lingtian curse seal, Luo Mengshang still took the initiative to give the 'clone curse seal' to the other party.
But often this choice is the most difficult.
...
After a long period of silence, Luo Mengshang slowly raised his head, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly.
"I want to say goodbye to him."
The calm voice was a little pale, Luo Qiong couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart, and immediately nodded slightly.
...
A slight sound of footsteps brightened the eyes of Chu Hen who was anxiously waiting.
Everyone's eyes scanned the past in unison, only to see Luo Mengshang, Luo Qiong, father and daughter walking over one by one.
"Mengshang." Chu Hen hurried up to meet her.
Luo Mengshang smiled lightly and said, "What's the matter? I haven't seen you for a while, so you miss me!"
Looking at the other party's appearance, the depression in Chu Hen's heart immediately dissipated.
On the other side, Cang Yuanzhe sneered, and looked at Luo Qiong with great interest, "Patriarch Luo, how is the conversation going?"
There is no respect in frivolous words.
Although the Luo family is one of the eight major families in Yueyong City, in the eyes of the Cang family, the Luo family is just a servant with no status at all.
Luo Qiong didn't speak, but looked at Luo Mengshang and Chu Hen complicatedly.
"Father, wait here for a moment."
"Okay." Luo Qiong replied.
After finishing speaking, Luo Mengshang walked away holding Chu Hen's palm.
...
The brook is gurgling, and the small river is flowing.
A cheerfully flowing stream passes through the valley, flowers and plants are blooming beside the stream, and a single butterfly jumps among the bushes, as if looking for a lost companion.
On a long stone slab on the shore, the two sat side by side.
Luo Mengshang leaned her head on Chu Hen's shoulder, clasped the ten fingers of Chu Hen's palm with her right hand, and pointed her left hand to the sky. Under the sunlight, her fair and slender fingers were as beautiful as jade.
Luo Mengshang just waved her little hands quietly, like a playful girl next door.
"Don't you have something to tell me? Why are you just playing by yourself?" Chu Hen smiled softly.
Luo Mengshang put down his left hand and moved his head away from Chu Hen's shoulder.
Chu Hen turned his head and looked at the other party, his dark eyes reflected the other party's beautiful face.
"That, that..." Luo Mengshang bit her red lips lightly, and then said softly, "I think, I'm afraid I won't be able to go sightseeing with you. I'm going back to Yueyong City."
"What are you doing back home? Is there anything at home?"
"Um!"
"Then I'll go back with you."
"No need..." Luo Mengshang shook his head, "You go your way, I'll go mine."
Chu Hen didn't understand at once, and at the same time, he seemed to feel a little uneasy in his heart. He stared closely at Luo Mengshang's dodging eyes.
"What the hell happened?"
Chu Hen frowned slightly, his gaze was like a torch.
The unbearable look in Luo Mengshang's eyes flashed by, her red lips parted slightly, and said, "I'm getting married..."
