Chapter 326 Memories of the Northern Desert

Lou Hong kept telling himself that these were all rumors. How could His Majesty's words be wrong?

However, the actions of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion were not punished after Your Majesty ascended the throne, which was already a special favor from Your Majesty.

Even if they gave away an illegitimate daughter to take the title, at least she was still the bloodline of their Lou family...

But if what this person said is true, then Your Majesty still cannot let the Lou family go, right?

Lou Xiao was naturally in a state of great excitement in the center of the mansion. After hesitating for a long time, he finally disguised himself and quietly went to meet the person who brought the news -

He turned out to be a monk.

"If your words get out, you will be cut into pieces and never allowed to leave the capital." Lou Hong has been living in seclusion for a long time. In order to hide from others, he wears coarse clothes and his face is a little pale.

In the secluded courtyard of the capital, the monks were wearing precious Yunsu silk and had green pearls hanging on their ears.

It looks more luxurious than Lou Hong, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"Since I dare to speak out, I am naturally not afraid. Someone has to speak out the buried truth.

Since you are here, you must be ready to hear the true life story of the woman who has taken over your nest?"

Lou Hong's eyes darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "What nonsense! His Majesty conferred the title himself, how dare you say that she usurped the throne?"

The monk laughed loudly. "If you really think I'm talking nonsense, why would you come? The title of Duke of Zhenguo, which was within your grasp, was taken away by someone overnight. Don't you want to take it back?

The current nepotism is to keep the Lou family so that she can completely replace you. It's a pity that the old and the young are really replaced by Li Tao. What can you do?"

When Lou Xiao secures his position, marries a husband and has children, where will there be room for him, Lou Hong, and the young Lou Sheng in the mansion?

"You are just exaggerating." Lou Hong did not respond and asked directly, "I don't believe it just based on a few words that I don't know where they came from. Where is your evidence?"

The monk clapped his hands, "I won't give up until I see the Yellow River. Come on, bring the witness up! So you can know where this bastard came from..."

Lou Hong turned around and looked at the person who came, sizing him up and down. After hearing what the other person said, the expression on his face changed unpredictably.

I see·······

Lou Xiao really didn't quite understand why Li Huaiqing was reprimanded.

If you say that he is responsible for negligence, the most he can do is to scold him. To trace the path of the blue and purple gemstone, Li Huaiqing still needs to find out.

If Your Majesty removes him from his position and sends him back home at this time when we need more manpower, wouldn't that make things more difficult?

Lou Xiao was a little distracted beside Xiao Zhengze and didn't hear clearly what he said, which made Xiao Zhengze repeat it several times.

"Xiao Xiao? Xiao Xiao? Are the people in Nanzi still eating raw meat and drinking blood? I heard that the officials who went to educate them said that they were barbaric and hopeless."

Lou Xiao came back to his senses and replied, "Not really. Many villages in Nanzi are no different from those in our Central Plains, but some of them are indeed very primitive."

She talked about what she saw in Nanzi, how there were snakes and insects roaming everywhere, and how the people of Nanzi raised poisonous animals as pets or even as weapons.

In addition, the annual sacrifice in Nanzi requires human lives to be sacrificed, etc.

These were all strange stories that Xiao Zhengze had never known before, and he listened to them with great interest.

These days passed like this, and in Xiao Zhengze's heart, there was no better time than this moment.

She was by his side, and could see him as long as she raised her eyes.

She has been to many places, seen many landscapes he has never seen, and met many different kinds of people.

Although Lou Xiao didn't say it, he just knew that there must be someone who was interested in her.

But she never mentioned it, either because she looked down on him or because she was concerned about him.

No matter which one it was, Xiao Zhengze felt deeply comforted.

"As soon as I left, Xiaoxiao went down the mountain to travel? What a pity! If it weren't for the imperial sister coming to pick me up, maybe I could still go with Xiaoxiao."

The short days he and Lou Xiao spent in Yunwu Mountain were also precious.

In order to ensure his safety, the imperial sister placed him in Yunwu Mountain. He was ignorant at that time and even complained on the mountain, which made Lou Xiao, who was very protective of her senior sister, scold him.

Not long after the imperial sister took him away, Lou Xiao was taken by his master to "visit" old friends. Although they went to many places, they did visit quite a few places.

"It's not for traveling. It's hard all the way. Even if you want to follow me, I won't agree."

Lou Xiao exposed his thoughts, "You were very spoiled at that time. I still remember that His Majesty wanted to pick you up, but you couldn't wait to leave."

But he soon regretted it.

Xiao Zhengze thought he would be able to see her anytime in the future, but he didn't expect that after returning to the capital with his senior sister, he never saw Lou Xiao again.

Even if he wanted to go back to Yunwu Mountain, the mountain was deserted and the master and disciple had already gone down the mountain and no one knew where they were.

Xiao Zhengze thought, if not for this, if he had always been with her, the two of them might have become closer.

He was the first person to meet her.

Xiao Zhengze changed the subject, "Xiaoxiao has been to Nanzi, so what about Beimo? Beimo is a long way away, and there are many foreigners there. I heard it's very chaotic."

Lou Xiao was lost in memories for a moment. "I've been there. The Northern Desert was desolate. There were frequent wars in the past, and many of them were ordinary people who fled."

The farthest she had traveled was to the north of the Northern Desert. On the trade route in the desert, she met a caravan leader who was wielding a scimitar and was a worthy rival.

The tall woman had a black veil covering her face, a red dot between her brows, revealing a pair of deep green eyes that looked like an oasis in the desert.

He is taciturn, but gives people a sense of reliability.

There is always a little child beside her, whose reddish-brown hair is hidden in a veil and whose eyes are like those of a cat with two different colored eyes, very special.

The mother and son rescued the master and apprentice who were lost in the sandstorm on the trade route north of Beimo. At that time, she was ignorant of the world.

Still always looking for others to learn from...

Lou Xiao and Xiao Zhengze couldn't help laughing when they talked about it, "There were many masters outside the Great Wall. At that time, I insisted on sparring with them and was beaten so hard that I could hardly get up."

Xiao Zhengze's attention was on another person, "Mandarin duck eyes? What is that?"

"It's just that his eyes have different colors. It is said that he is the child that woman picked up on the trade route. He is a mixed-blooded child. He was rejected and thrown into the desert. He almost starved to death."

Xiao Zhengze looked surprised.

"So a person's eyes can have different colors?"

Although Xiao Zhengdu is also mixed-blood, his eyes only have a hint of deep pool color.

Moreover, having grown up in the capital for a long time, his appearance is actually not that different from the people in the capital, with only a few foreign features left.

Xiao Zhengze thought about the different colors of the eyes and felt that they were a little scary for some reason.

"No wonder it was abandoned. It's really scary."

Lou Xiao disagreed, "After the integration of different ethnic groups in the Northern Desert and intermarriage, this kind of thing will become very common, so there is no need to be surprised."'
