Chapter 101 On the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable

On the battlefield, separation could last for three to five years, or even several years. How could His Majesty Li II let go of him so easily? Even if Xu Luo could make great contributions on the battlefield and return with glory, the years of separation would be a torment for everyone.

During this period, if there were any troubles, who could they talk to? The other ministers also had their own plans, wishing to transplant Xu Luo, the cash cow, to their own homes. With him, the prestige of the department would naturally rise, and those deficiencies and loopholes would be made up one by one.

As for the women in the court, they looked at Xu Luo with admiration. Their eyes moved and their red lips parted, hoping to show off their charm by Xu Luo's side. Xu Luo's name seemed to have become the most gentle concern in their hearts.

Xu Luo looked at his friends' nervous expressions and couldn't help but find it a little funny. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Lao Li, Lao Sun, I appreciate your concern!"

"Yes, on the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable. Even our Tang Dynasty's military god Li Jing and the devil Cheng Yaojin cannot say that they can escape unscathed every time!" There was a hint of teasing in his tone.

"You all know that I just can't sit still. Being an official is good, but I'm worried that I'll get rotten if I spend all day drinking tea and chatting!" He said, looking thoughtful.

"I have been thinking about this for several days. After thinking it over, I still think that the battlefield is most suitable for me!" There was a firm light in Xu Luo's eyes.

"My brothers, please stop trying to persuade me!" As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Li II, Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others smiled at each other. It was obvious that Xu Luo had made up his mind.

They knew his character very well. Once he made a decision, nothing could change it. His Majesty Li II pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not say anything more. However, I still have some connections in the army. If you insist on joining the army, I can recommend you."

Hearing this, Xu Luo smiled and was about to answer, but at this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.

At the same time, the woman beside him bit her lips gently, her eyes revealing her worry and reluctance for Xu Luo. Her chest rose and fell slightly, as if she was trying to calm her inner fluctuations. The sunlight shone through the window lattice, onto her neck and skin, making her look particularly attractive. She walked silently to Xu Luo's side, gently held his hand, and silently expressed her support.

The system prompt sounded, and Xu Luo's eyes flashed with pride, and the new identity was successfully obtained. He smiled secretly in his heart, this system is quite considerate. The Buda envoy was beaming, and happily paid the balance and took away the batch of second-hand weapons. Lord Chen looked at the box full of copper coins and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Sir Chen, this transaction went really smoothly. Remember to look for me next time you have business!" Xu Luo joked.

"Of course. Next time something good happens, I'll think of you first!" Lord Chen responded with a smile.

Xu Luo left with satisfaction and returned to the fortune-telling stall, only to see the Buda envoy waiting there. He was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Buda envoy, is there something wrong with those weapons?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Han, you misunderstood!" The Buda envoy explained hastily, "In fact, I will return to Tubo tomorrow, so I came here to say goodbye to you. If you have the chance, you are welcome to visit Tubo."

At this time, the woman next to him was playing with her hair, her eyes moving, and a smile on her lips, as if she was also infected by the relaxed and happy atmosphere. Her chest trembled slightly with her laughter, which made her look particularly charming.

Buda smiled broadly and said generously: "I, Buda, will definitely entertain you well!"

"This, that..." Before he finished speaking, Xu Luo had guessed his thoughts, couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "I know, the refined salt is ready!" Buda's eyes rolled, and he said with embarrassment: "Can you send someone to deliver it to me before dusk today? I don't live here now..."

"Oh?" Xu Luo raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Buda's heart tightened. The purpose of his trip was to take away the refined salt. He had agreed with Xu Luo that he must get the goods within three days. Now that the deadline was approaching, coupled with the purchase of new weapons, he was extremely anxious and just wanted to return to Tubo as soon as possible.

He thought to himself, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Sir, don't bother me. I will come to your fortune-telling stall in person this evening. I will pay you and give you the goods. What do you think?"

Xu Luo looked at him. He already knew Buda's identity, but he deliberately cooperated with his performance and chuckled, "I see. Then let's meet at the fortune-telling stall at dusk!"

Buda felt relieved and said quickly, "Thank you for your help, sir!" After that, he turned and left, looking forward to the meeting in the evening.

At this time, a woman walked by quietly, her eyes smiling, her lips slightly parted, and the beads on her earlobes swaying gently, as if silently tempting. Her chest rose and fell, her neck was slender, her skin was like jade, and the curve of her thighs was looming with her steps, which made people unable to help but fantasize. Buda glanced at her and his heart was slightly moved, but thinking of his identity as an envoy, he quickly gathered his mind and quickened his pace to leave.

Xu Luo followed the familiar figure with his eyes, a teasing smile appeared on his lips, and he shook his head gently. At this moment, Liu Quan came over hurriedly with a beaming face. His vegetable basket, which he always brought with him, was nowhere to be seen today, and it was obvious that he had something more important to do.

"Haha, Brother Xu Luo!" Liu Quan's voice was loud and proud.

As soon as Xu Luo sat down, he joked, "Brother Liu, you are so glorious today, is there any treasure hidden in your home?"

When Liu Quan heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He nodded repeatedly: "Oh, brother Xu Luo, you don't know that my girl is pregnant!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but steal a glance at Xu Luo, as if hinting at something.

"I've been very busy lately and haven't been able to come here. Please don't be surprised!" Liu Quan's words were full of excitement.

Seeing this, Xu Luo couldn't help but smile even more and nodded: "Of course not, Brother Liu, this is a happy event, I naturally have to congratulate you!"

"Haha, when the baby is born, you must come home and we will celebrate!" Liu Quan patted his chest, and then his eyes turned, as if he remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I remember the fortune-telling money, and I brought it here specially today. Although it's not much, it's a little gift from me, your brother. Don't refuse it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Quan took out a heavy purse from his arms.

At this moment, the woman next to her pursed her lips gently, with envy in her eyes. She stroked her neck inadvertently, her skin as white as jade, as if she was imagining that she would be able to enjoy such family happiness in the future.
