Lou Xiaoyi nodded. In a field he was not familiar with, he trusted the judgment of an experienced person. When it came to the throne, it involved too many things. He did not have the heart to judge who would take the throne in the end. He just trusted his parents. They were the most experienced and knowledgeable.
"Why does Second Uncle have to hug the Third Prince's thigh? Isn't it better to hug someone else? Or hugging one in each hand?
With so many people huddled together, there is no merit to be gained! "
Lou Yaoshi glared at him. Her son was so relaxed. Was it because he was confident? Or was the tiger cub fearless?
"If he wants to hug someone else's thigh, he needs to have the opportunity! Your second uncle is just a general with an empty title. He doesn't have any military power, and he doesn't have any appeal. Who cares about him? Only the Third Prince, who has a good relationship with many people, can accept him. I'm afraid he is not even a core member! "
Lou Xiaoyi was speechless. With such an awkward position, what was she doing? Just wait for the new emperor to take the throne. Wasn't it good to go with the crowd? Treating the title of general as more important than the sky. If you don't have the ability, how can you stay?
"Mother, what is your goal? Do you want Second Uncle to be rich and powerful? Or do you just want to keep your life? "This was Lou Xiaoyi's last question.
Lou Yaoshi spat, "Rich and powerful? I don't have the heart to think about him! I just want to be a rich man. Don't lose your life and don't implicate the family. That is my only wish! "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed, "That's good, that's good. If Mother wants me to go and help Second Uncle build his career, I'm afraid I won't dare to go!
So, I will leave immediately. It's better to save my uncle's family as soon as possible! "
Lou Yaoshi pulled him back and scolded jokingly, "Little Yi, you are so relaxed. I am relieved. But I have a few rules. You have to agree to them before you leave. Otherwise, you are not allowed to go!"
Lou Xiaoyi was helpless, "Mother, you can't put a curse on me …"
Lou Yaoshi looked at him, "There are three things that you must agree to!
First, your life is the most important. Not other people's lives, not your Second Uncle's life, but your life!
Once there is danger, leave immediately. I know you have the ability to do so! If you can't do it, it's because you want to gamble!
I won't let you gamble!
You have to know that even if Zhao Ye and the Yao family were added together, they wouldn't be as important as you. This isn't just your life, it's also your Aunt Cai's and my life!
Do you understand? "
Lou Xiaoyi nodded. "Mother, I promise you!"
Lou Yao shi grabbed him tightly, "The reason why I want you to go is because I want to do something on the off chance that there is a chance. This is an assumption and not a necessity!
You don't have a mission in the Ye Kingdom, and I don't have a specific request either! Because we all know how insignificant an individual is in the face of the entire national system! Even your cultivation circle is isolated from worldly power. How can a young man like you, who has only cultivated for a few years, challenge it?
So, my second request is to watch from the sidelines!
You can do something before it happens, but once it's done, don't try to change it! Don't use your personal strength to challenge an imperial power that has existed for thousands of years! "
Lou Xiaoyi allowed his mother to shake him and said softly, "I understand! I'm just a little stronger than mortals! "
Lou Yao shi was already regretting telling her son this because she knew that her son always had his own ideas. He looked easy-going and quiet, but he was actually very daring!
"Third, don't try to get in touch with the people in the imperial court. They are all old foxes. They act one way in front of people and another way behind people!
I won't even recommend your father's most trusted student to you! Because I can't guarantee that when facing the rise and fall of the family, they will help you without hesitation and not think about their own family!
If you are just poor, they won't hesitate to help you. But in the face of life and death, there is no righteousness!
The only one you can trust is your third uncle, but he may not be in Zhao Ye now!
So, I ask you to think of problems in the way you cultivators do! Simple and clear!
If you can do it, do it! If you can't do it, leave!
Can you? "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed. "Mother, you really should cultivate! You were born with this temperament! "
Lou Yao shi scolded him, which was rare, "I have a ghost temperament! I'm just a mother who doesn't want her child to be in danger! If I know other cultivators, you won't even have the chance to leave the house!
You haven't promised me yet! "
Lou Xiaoyi took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I promise you!"
That morning, Lou Xiaoyi left Lou Province on two horses. He ran around the Gobi Desert every day, so he was always well-prepared. All the cultivation items were stored in the storage ring. As for other things, as long as he had enough money, he could buy them.
He had to hurry. No matter what he did, the sooner he arrived, the sooner he could deal with it. If his unlucky second uncle had already made a blood oath with someone, it would be too late for him to do anything.
Leaving Pu City, entering Cang Man, passing through Liangping, there was the Great Night Avenue. This was one of the three major thoroughfares that the Kingdom of Ye spent a lot of money to build. It was divided into the east, west, and north, with the capital Ye City as the center. The only place that did not have a thoroughfare was the south. There were many rivers, lakes, and swamps that could not be built.
Lou Xiaoyi was on the West Avenue. Once he was on the flat road, his speed suddenly increased. There were many towns on both sides of the road, and inns and horse stables. It was very convenient for him to rest, eat, and replenish his supplies. There was no need to think about where to rest when it was late. As long as his physical strength allowed, he could keep walking. After all, there would be a place to rest within a few miles.
Lou Xiaoyi's daily journey was many times faster than the average person. For ordinary people, two hundred miles a day was the limit. He could easily reach five or six hundred miles. In fact, he could continue, but the two horses needed to rest, even if they were running empty.
He had spiritual power that could be used at any time. The horses could only feel a limited amount of weight, so naturally, they could run faster and further.
Pu City was more than four thousand miles away from Night City. This was a straight line distance. In fact, the Night Avenue was built between cities, so it was inevitable to take a long detour. The four thousand miles would be at least six thousand miles in the end. Even so, it was still much better than the road to Heming Mountain.
As long as he was on the Night Avenue, he did not have to wander around. He did not have to frequently ask for directions, nor did he have to look for bridges. It was very carefree.
The further east they went, the clearer the weather became, unlike Pu City, which was close to the Gobi Desert. Sometimes, the sky would be foggy, the temperature would rise, and the accent would gradually change. Lou Xiaoyi was traveling as himself this time. Firstly, it was more convenient for him to have a scholarly reputation. Secondly, he could not hide this trip under the cover of night, so there was no need to sneak around.
