Steps to Be Phoenix

Chapters 24 - 24

In the past few days, everyone in the palace had been spreading rumors that the young master of the Luo Family had left, leaving only Luo Ming Yan as the young master. Naturally, the next patriarch was none other than Luo Ming Yan, hence, they all rushed to curry favor with the second young master of the Luo Family.

When Old Lady Camel heard this, he once again looked at the stomach of the Fourth Aunt beside him and no longer paid attention to it.

As a third stage imperial court servant, he should be helping the Emperor and share his worries. Now that his master was worried about the affairs of his country, he was worried about how to settle this matter.

There was a knock on the door, causing Luoan's time to feel suspicious as to where the gatekeeper had gone to. He thought for a moment before opening the door, only to see his most prized daughter standing outside, looking at him with a smile.

Luoan's time was a little surprised, before he could ask her how her daughter came, she said, "My daughter heard that father still hasn't went to bed, it must be because she was annoyed by the court, but my daughter was unable to help, so she could only personally make a bowl of sweet soup for father, it could be considered as soothing for father, it was a great achievement for me."

When Luoan's time heard Luo Ming Shi's words, she knew that she was worried about herself, and felt relieved. However, after hearing what she had to say, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

When Luo Ming Shi helped him drink the sweet soup which was neither greasy nor light, and just right in time, he felt a burst of comfort in his heart, and the last bit of irritation was gone.

After abandoning the national affairs, he began to gossip with his daughter and nurture their father-daughter relationship. "Ever since you fell ill, it has been a long time since a zither master has shown up. Have you been playing the zither recently?"

Luo Ming Shi had to say that the Luoan's time at this time had the appearance of her father from her memories. He spoke in a soft voice and carried a lamp in the night, full of idle chatter.

When she thought back to the past, her eyes became moist. Seeing that Luoan's time had already discovered her abnormality, she said in a wronged manner, "The guqin hands hurt so much, Daddy."

Seeing her teary eyes, Luoan's time thought her daughter was extremely afraid of her zither skills and thought it was just funny. She then looked at her daughter's still young and tender hands.

Thinking about it, he could not help but feel some pity. He sighed, "Your daughter has to be proficient in one or two things regarding zither, chess, painting, and poetry. If you don't like the zither, then I'll have to invite another female teacher for you in the future."

Luo Ming Shi lowered his head, hiding his expression from Luoan's time's gaze. Luoan's time only heard a soft "En" from her, and knew that she had agreed. Speaking of which, his youngest daughter had always been extremely intelligent. Since childhood, she would often go to the library, where she could stay for a day by herself.

Sometimes I hear her ask herself, "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixirs, a blue sea and a clear night. Daddy, then does Chang'e really live on the moon? " "One flower, one world, one wood, one Bodhi. Father, so we are all people who live in flowers." Every time he heard his daughter's childish words, he would laugh for a while.

Thinking about the interesting part of his daughter's studies since she was young, Luoan's time's lips also softened. He knew that her daughter was very knowledgeable, like she studied everything, but had only studied it herself.

He was secretly concerned about finding a teacher for Luo Ming Shi.

He then heard his youngest daughter's soft and gentle voice ask from the side, "Daddy, what are you worried about today?"

After Luo Ming Shi asked, the Luoan's time immediately thought of the imperial court, and what everyone was troubled about, the border invasion, the Huns on horseback were all brave and battle-loving, the Great Zhou Empire was also no match for them, and now, they had lost many elite soldiers after a few large and small battles, although they were not as good as the Huns, but the Great Zhou Empire had many treasures and people.

If they continued fighting, it would not benefit either side, but neither side would be willing to surrender first. The Huns had set up camp less than a mile away from the border and were eyeing the area covetously, no longer attacking but not leaving, so they stayed in a stalemate.

The Luoan's time was initially unwilling to say more, but when he saw Luo Ming Shi's bright and innocent eyes, his heart couldn't help but soften. He thought that this matter wasn't a national secret, and the Emperor had put in a good plan for all of the families in the Emperor's leaderboard …

Therefore, Luoan's time explained the situation to Luo Ming Shi in detail, and also emphasized, "The best method is obviously not to lose a single soldier, and also not to damage the dignity of my Great Zhou Empire."

Luo Ming Shi thought, this was all because he thought that the Huns would obediently follow his orders, he said, "If the Huns do not fight, they will not leave, but only think of some benefits."

Luoan's time sighed, "Of course I know, although my Great Zhou Empire is rich, if I were to tell others about it, I would think that I am afraid of the Huns."

Luo Ming Shi blinked his eyes, then suddenly thought of something, and smiled with confidence, only to hear her slowly say: "Daddy, how long did you say this war last?"

Luoan's time sighed and replied, "About a year ago."

Luo Ming Shi slowly said, "I've read about some customs and habits of nomadic peoples, saying that they yearn for freedom, and are bold and straightforward. Father, you said that they have been camped there for close to a year, do you think they are feeling more aggrieved or not?"

Luoan's time thought about it, the Huns were also like what his daughter had said, they were really feeling more uncomfortable, but they had to see who could last longer.

Luo Ming Shi said again, "I'm afraid the Huns have wanted to go home for a long time, what they lack now is the last straw to crush the camel to death."

The more Luoan's time listened, the more he anticipated the idea that his daughter would tell him. He had a feeling that the answer was about to come out.

Luo Ming Shi did not wait for Luoan's time to ask further, and said, "Father, have you heard of the story of the four sides."

Luo Ming Shi's few simple and gentle words caused Luoan's time to be enlightened. He couldn't help but size up his own little girl again and saw that she was yawning sleepily.

Luoan's time could not help but laugh, his voice becoming gentler, "If you are tired, quickly go and rest."
