Chapter 1059: Scattered 9
In the villa of Luo Family City,
The woman spread on the soft collapse closed her eyes and listened to the rewards of her close maid. Under her tired and quiet face, she was filled with intense thoughts like earth-shaking.
The personal maid has brought back the other party's oral message, and the related tokens,
This is really a destiny. A fake illness that was pretending to be true because she was pregnant again. The feeling of raising a child as a mother seemed to be very far away. At that time, she was still in a poor alley, struggling and tormenting in the coveted eyes of various markets, insisting on giving birth to the child, and recognizing each other again with hardships.
Now she is no longer the pretty woman in the age of flower faith. Although she used the best pearl white and fritillaria to keep it white and smooth, it was still hard to hide the wrinkles that appeared in the corners of her eyes.
The conscious old man, who was still stronger and happy, and the concubine Ersha who held the wealth and power of the family, had already visited her and had their own explanations;
The joint advantage of being pregnant as the second wife is that the resources she can use and operate have become loose and abundant again.
But she was also trapped in the torture of indecision, contradiction and struggle.
Before this, she was a crazy mother who paid all the price for her son, but after discovering that she was pregnant, this paranoid and unyielding state of mind was broken by the newly discovered little life.
And between the safety of the existing son and the gains and losses of the unborn child, he became indecisive and worried about gains and losses.
At least the child in her belly has nothing to be controversial. Once the eldest son has a greater future, the Luo family's great foundation still needs a young son to support and inherit.
If it is a daughter, you can also learn from Ersha's shameless person, sending the eldest son to a rich man and not to leave the land of a foreigner. If you have a son and a half daughter, you can inherit or share a foreign family business.
But when she thought that her youngest son might still suffer in a place where the light of day was gone, she couldn't help but become tangled.
The small Luo Family Port under the night sky, no, it should be among the big Luo Family Port now;
On a sea ship, Conbrona, whose name was Conrolly, was also looking at the lit port area with deep feelings and a flashing light belt extending straight into Luozi City;
However, it is a very luxurious road lighting along the way, and the oil burned every night is probably less than hundreds of kilograms; not to mention that this new port area has undergone earth-shaking changes from the last time he came here.
According to the information and rumors he has, it seems that it is because of the advantages of Luo Fan Ben's family's proximity to the water and the final point of the trade branch surrounding most of Borneo. In recent years, Luo's private port has developed particularly rapidly. The area of the port area and long-term population have doubled.
Moreover, the territory in the inland has become a gathering place for all kinds of people from East and West Borneo, and the original territory of Luofan has been expanded a lot. On the one hand, it is the contribution of the people and lords who have gone bankrupt one after another under the heavy tax collection of the state and the lords. On the other hand, it is thanks to the support and feedback from Canton, which has greatly improved the development of Luofan's inland mountains and fields;
In the dense rainforest and barren inland, the land was flattened and water conservancy was built to create large areas of fields and more than a dozen villages and settlements, and thousands of new slaves were added to labor.
Therefore, Cambrona, who was revisiting the old place, was almost unrecognizable. His current identity was a son of the Kang family of Juluo (now Tamil Nadu, southwest India).
Of course, Kang Luoli, a son of the Kang family who had replaced him, had already been sent to the seabed to feed fish and turtles. However, under the operation of the forces behind him, he covered up the matter and continued to use this identity to act.
The ancestors of the Kang family came from the descendants of the Kang country of the nine surnames of Zhaowu in the Hezhong River in the Western Regions. They were also called Sogdians or the Limao. Some people had already been in the middle of the earth and had participated in the historical time when Buddhism and Zoroastrianism were introduced to the East China;
However, since the Qianyuan period, Liang Gong led countless Tang Dynasty athletes to focus on the Western Regions and faced Persia and food, and launched the Western Expedition to sweep thousands of miles, Kangguo, one of the many countries in the river that could not stop the historical trend, has become Kangjun and Kangjuzhou, which were obedient under the Tang Dynasty.
The subjects of Kang State in the past transformed into one after another and became naturalized people of the Tang Dynasty in accordance with the will of heaven. In the subsequent wave of royal army and immigration, they played various roles and roles, and thus gained corresponding fame, wealth and various rights;
One of the members of the Kang royal family was able to go south to become an external retainer of the Liang family's South China Sea because of their rewards. Then, in the great development of sea and land, they were enfeoffed in the old land of the Gu Zhunian Kingdom, and became one of the first three hundred princes of Pingfan.
However, in terms of his own background, there is nothing worthy of praise; he was originally a product of a wandering oriole's failure to fall, but he had some congenital deficiencies and was particularly thin; but he, like him, had a mixed-race orphan with unknown parents, almost all of them were in the coastal ports.
Most of them are the descendants of those who travel by boat, including the local women or special practitioners, and the most basic peripherals and sources of famous foreign gangs and various beggars and pickpocket groups.
However, although Connor Rob was born in a mixed-race Fanhu, he was lucky to inherit the characteristics of his father's black hair and black eyes, because as long as he didn't look at his face and inherited some prominent contours from his mother, he would be basically the same as most native Tang people's children.
This also became the turning point for him to change his destiny. Although the process was not so pleasant, it was also a bit unbearable to look back on the story and past. When he was very young, he was taken away from a private brothel because of his handsome appearance, and then became a servant of a big-bellied and generous businessman in the Tianzhu businessman. It was just because he looked similar to the Tang people, but could be used as face and pomp, and even satisfying the existence of private ulterior motives.
Then he finally survived, and slowly got out of the way and got rid of these pasts with his own hands, and eventually became a ship owner who traveled from the ocean and one of the private merchants walking on the gray edge.
But in private he prefers to call himself Li Wei, because the Chinese name is the last bit of sustenance and expectation that the passerby man can leave on him;
The one who was more lucky than him was Chu Bai in his childhood. He didn't call this name, but because he was attracted by the people from the Chu family's neighbors, he took it back as a family for a child. Therefore, when he met and recognized each other again, he was already the industrial manager of the Chu family's daughter who was dowrying to Luofan.
Then there was more than ten years of interaction. They often invited them to travel and drink happily, and they also slept in the brothel. In the end, Chu Bai even became the guarantor who introduced him to Luo Fan. But at the moment, driven by enough interests, he still assassinated this former friend who had great trust without hesitation.
It was obvious that his fortune was a bit bad and bumpy. Even though he did a lot of things, he still failed to change the resurgence of the eldest prince Luo Fan, as well as the complete defeat and loss of power by the envoy behind him;
Then he became a truly betrayal dog. With the joint wanted and rewards of several vassals, his superiors and lower-level families were uprooted by the crowded Yi Conghe Desperate. He could only escape from the Western Ocean without any effort, and survived.
The people who sheltered and protected him just thought that this idle chess might be useful in the future.
Therefore, the task he re-activated from the marginalization of his idle cold storage was to make the Luo family vacuum, which was vaguely cited as the vacuum of the princes in West Borneo and completely chaotic, no matter what means he used or how much the price he paid; therefore, he did not hesitate to provide special tokens and evidence to cooperate with his actions and plans.
Since he could personally assassinate the playmate and close friend Chu Bai whom he met since childhood for the sake of benefit, he could naturally be with the woman who had a night of fun, just to inquire and assassinate the real and false situations within Luo Fan.
As for the whereabouts of Luo Nianzu, Mr. Luo, he really cannot decide or put his mistakes; it is just a gimmick to keep hanging on the other party and provide continuous information and potential help.
For this mission, hundreds of people had already lurked in several batches with various identities and covers; they were all desperate people who were skilled in fighting at sea or brave men from the former army;
This time, Combrona also brought a large number of strong bows and crossbows, leather armor for water battles, as well as hot tin oil for arson and hand-throwing pots, which were enough to arm these people to their teeth and easily defeated the less than a thousand people in the port and scattered guards.
But his goal is not limited to this. Luogang is just a start and bait to lure out the guard forces in the city, and then sneak in and wait for an opportunity to attack and assassinate important targets.
At this time, a little light was swaying in the darkness of the port area, which meant that the woman was coming again, and she also brought some kind of reply...
Under the gloomy sky, the continuous beacons on the northwest land did not calm down because of the cold weather.
With the new round of integration and reshuffle, the originally fragmented local forces are slowly integrating and following under a banner in intermittent conflicts and fights.
Zhao Xi, who was covered with snowflakes, was also looking at the city wall full of fire and noise, until a smoky and ragged red flag fell from the city wall and was presented to him without stopping.
The flags covered with sludge and snowflakes were quickly raised and hung on a long banner with broken flags, and at this time, another messenger who was flying in the air reported loudly.
"Report...the army...the remaining troops of the Jingbian Army have already surrendered..."
"It's worthy of being the Iron Cavalry of Beiliang..."
Zhao Xi couldn't help but sigh.
"It's worthy of being the heavy snow camp with the sword of the snow..."
