Chapter 73: Luo Family Rules Changed
“But even if you are not the eldest son, why haven’t you learned the Luo family’s secret arts? Didn’t your second uncle say that as long as one is a member of the Luo family, one can learn the Luo family’s secret arts?” Zhang Chunqiu didn’t understand why Luo Fanchen didn’t know any secret arts.
In order to make the Luo family prosper, Luo Xingyao made a vow that anyone who performed well could learn a few moves, even if they were not a member of the Luo family. So why was Luo Fanchen, who was obviously a member of the Luo family, unable to learn a single move?
Luo Fanchen sighed and said, "Second uncle did say that back then, but later my father saw that my brother's physique was not suitable for practicing the Luo family's secret technique, and was afraid that someone would be stronger than my brother, so he changed the rule, which led to the current situation."
"What's wrong with your finger?" Zhang Chunqiu looked at Luo Fanchen carefully, and naturally saw his broken finger, and asked.
Luo Fanchen took off his gloves indifferently, swung his fingers and said, "I accidentally lost it when I was being ambushed. It's a small matter."
Luo Fanchen has begun to learn to accept his fingers and doesn't care at all that two of his fingers are missing a part.
Zhang Chunqiu reached out and grabbed Luo Fanchen's hand. After looking at him for a while, he said, "Stay with me for half a month. I will find a way to connect you."
"Old man, do you know this?" Liu Hu hurriedly stepped forward and asked after hearing Zhang Chunqiu's words.
After all, Luo Fanchen had lost his fingers and it was very inconvenient for him to move. Although Luo Fanchen acted nonchalant, who would not care if they lost a finger?
"There's at least a 70% chance of success. If we add a few more herbs, it might be 90% sure," Zhang Chunqiu said regretfully.
It seems that I am really old and I dare not say that I am 100% sure.
If I were younger, I would definitely dare to say that I was 100% sure, but now, I dare not say that anymore.
Liu Hu stepped forward and said, "Old sir, how about this? You come with me to my house. It will be more convenient to get medicine that way. Since you have a good relationship with Fan Chen's second uncle, you are also my friend."
"Who is this?" Zhang Chunqiu didn't know who Liu Hu was. He was a little excited when he saw Luo Fanchen just now, and only now began to look Liu Hu up and down.
The man in front of me was wearing a emerald green official jacket and brocade robe, with a dark blue geometric belt tied around his waist. He had neat hair and a pair of clear eyes. He looked very pleasing to the eye.
Luo Fanchen hurriedly introduced Zhang Chunqiu: "This is my boss, the current Grand Tutor Liu Hu."
"Grand Master?" Zhang Chunqiu didn't understand when the position of Grand Master was created in the Daqian Kingdom. After all, he had never heard of it before.
"It's a position with great power." Luo Fanchen didn't know how to explain it, so he could only speak vaguely.
Zhang Chunqiu was not very concerned about these things. He just replied with an "Oh" and stopped talking.
After all, in his eyes, only Luo Fanchen could catch his eye. How could he possibly go if invited by a stranger? You know, the number one doctor in the world has invited countless people, but he still hasn't come out.
This time, when he saw the nephew of his long-time best friend, he finally had the idea of coming out of retirement.
"Uncle, please come with me. It's too inconvenient here." Luo Fanchen pleaded.
Zhang Chunqiu, like Luo Xingyao, had no children in his life. Luo Xingyao raised Luo Fanchen as his son, and naturally Zhang Chunqiu liked this "son" too. Hearing Luo Fanchen's "Uncle", Zhang Chunqiu felt extremely happy.
"Okay, I'll pack up and go with you." Zhang Chunqiu smiled and agreed.
Hearing Zhang Chunqiu's agreement, Luo Fanchen was very happy. He stood up holding Zhang Chunqiu and said, "Don't take these things. We will buy new ones after we go back."
"Do you have money? Just make such a boast." When Asi heard Luo Fanchen bragging, he muttered in annoyance.
The two of them were of the same kind. They never brought money when they went out and always followed Liu Hu to eat and drink for free. They were even too lazy to collect their monthly salary and let Liu Hu keep it all.
Although he said he had saved the money, Liu Hu never kept a record of it. He didn't know how much , and neither did Luo Fanchen and Asi.
Under normal circumstances, Luo Fanchen would have quarreled with Ah Si a long time ago, but he was in a good mood today, shaking his head and saying, "I don't have money, but the Qingyi Guards do. I'll ask each of them to give me some money later. It should be more than enough to collect tens of thousands of taels."
The salary of the Green Guards is the highest among all the guards. After all, the work done by the Green Guards is more important and dangerous. What's more, Luo Fanchen never cares about money and always lets the deputy captain take care of it. Moreover, the Green Guards are relatively casual and when they have nothing to do, they will take some assassination jobs to earn some extra money, so the Green Guards have always been rich.
Zhang Chunqiu was shocked by this remark, and he said hurriedly, "Boy, you can't bully others. A gentleman should earn money in a proper way, not by force or robbing."
"Haha, don't worry, sir. I ask those guys for money, and they will happily give it to me." Luo Fanchen said arrogantly.
Zhang Chunqiu thought Luo Fanchen's words didn't seem to be a lie, and shouted in his heart: "Xingyao, look at how successful Fanchen is now. He can easily get so much money."
"No, there are a few things I still need to take." After Zhang Chunqiu finished speaking, he took Luo Fanchen back to the inner room, leaving Liu Hu and others behind.
Liu Hu turned his head and looked at Ah Si, who immediately understood and shook his head, "Boss, you won't let me carry that guy back, will you? No, I'm almost as fast as an animal."
He first carried Liu Hu on his back. There was no other way because Liu Hu was his boss. Liu Hu was finally able to walk, and now he had to carry the old man himself. Naturally, Asi was not very happy about it.
"Since you don't want to, why don't you go and fire the flare?" Liu Hu rolled his eyes.
After hearing this, Asi immediately ran to the door. At this moment, a new flare was suddenly thrown over from the inner room, and Luo Fanchen's voice slowly came from inside: Let the Qingyi Guards come over.
"Hehe, this kid wants to show off for a while, I won't compete with you for it." Asi took Luo Fanchen's flare and had already guessed Luo Fanchen's little thoughts.
By the time Luo Fanchen helped Zhang Chunqiu out, the Qingyi Guards had already appeared in front of Zhang Chunqiu's house in a horse-drawn carriage. Luo Fanchen had just used a red flare, which was the most serious level, so he arrived quickly.
Zhang Chunqiu looked at the young men in front of him and nodded, "Not bad, not bad."
He didn't know martial arts, but he had a keen eye and knew at a glance that these young men were all top-notch martial artists. He asked, "Are these all your lackeys?"
"Master, we are from the imperial court. No matter who they are, they are all my subordinates." Luo Fanchen interrupted with a smile.
What era is this? There is still such a thing as a thug. Zhang Chunqiu nodded and got on the carriage.
The journey was smooth and peaceful. When they returned, it was already dinner time. Luo Fanchen was about to help Zhang Chunqiu to a room when Liu Hu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take the old man to my room."
"Okay." Luo Fanchen trusted Liu Hu 100% . Without asking why, he supported the old man and went to Liu Hu's room.
Although the courtyard looked ordinary from the outside, it actually contained a different world. Every blade of grass and every tree were of top quality. Even the flowers and plants were special species not commonly found in Lingnan. Zhang Chunqiu finally understood that the Grand Tutor seemed to be very powerful.
"Fan Chen calls you uncle, and Fan Chen and I are brothers, so I should call you uncle too." Liu Hu said in a submissive tone.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chunqiu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, you are the Grand Master, how can you call me uncle? It goes against common sense. Just call me Mr. Zhang."
In Zhang Chunqiu's heart, Luo Fanchen was the only nephew, so how could he let Liu Hu call him? Liu Hu didn't force it and continued, "Mr. Zhang, I was injured before and developed a wheelchair, but I don't need it now. If you don't mind, I can give it to you."
