I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 917: Zhao’er?

Chapter 917: Chapter 917: Zhao’er?

"This place is the Map of Kingdom, and this world has nothing to do with the history of China that you come from.

Here, you are not Li Zhi, Wu Qiyi is not Wu Wanhui, and there is no existence of an Empress.

Yet, due to your personal reasons, this Map of Kingdom forcibly created a situation where The Great Han, The Great Qin, and the Tang Dynasty stood as the Three Kingdoms.

No matter what, we must not offend the Wu Family at present. After all, that goblin Wu Wanhui is definitely a ruthless character, who consumes people without spitting out their bones. If she finds out that we have offended her family, I’m afraid our Luo Family will not be at peace in the Tang Empire."

"Second Young Master, what exactly do you want?"

Seeing you behave like this, Yang Family dared not be forceful anymore, as after all, the Luo Family in the Tang Empire was a well-known military family. All the soldiers of the Tang Army looked up to Luo Cheng, and now who would dare to offend the people of the Luo Family.

"I merely hope that the Old Lady does not take Yue’er away, that’s all."

"Master Luo, this matter is not up to you to decide. Little Yue has already been promised to someone, and we have already received the betrothal gifts. In five days, it will be the day when Little Yue leaves the family." The beautiful woman who hadn’t spoken finally spoke up.

"Mother, your daughter refuses to marry!" Little Yue bit her lips tightly, tears pouring down like rain.

It turned out she was Little Yue’s mother. When you heard that Little Yue was already promised to someone, your body suddenly radiated an extremely sharp aura, frightening Little Yue and her grandmother and mother into hastily stepping back. You didn’t approach but asked in an almost emotionless tone, "Who is she promised to?"

Yang and Little Yue’s mother were now frightened by the terrifying aura radiating from your body and dared not speak a word. At this moment, a familiar voice came from inside the carriage: "Third Young Master of the Lin Family in Luoyang."

Although the speaker did not show her face, you had already recognized the voice as belonging to the masked woman stall owner. You nodded your head and looked towards Little Yue, your face revealing a confident smile once again, "Little Yue, rest assured, without my permission, no one can force you to do something you dislike."

Having said that, you leapt high into the air and performed a beautiful somersault before gracefully landing on the back of a horse. Luo Gang saw this and quickly flipped himself onto his horse as well. Seeing that everyone was mounted, you then shouted, "To Luoyang!"

Watching the silhouette of you and your party galloping away, Little Yue’s lovely young face shed crystal-clear tears once again. However, this time, they were tears of happiness.

Little Yue’s mother gently held her daughter, a relieved smile on her face: "Truly a blessed girl you are. Don’t cry, dear. With the Second Young Master of the Luo Family stepping in, I’m afraid there is no one else in the Tang Dynasty who would dare to marry you now, of course, except for this Second Young Master Luo who dares to act on his words."

"Then, I shall serve by mother’s side for the rest of my life."

Little Yue’s heart was touched by her mother’s words, and she buried her small face in her mother’s ample bosom, twisting shyly, eliciting a chorus of salivating sounds from the surrounding onlookers.

"Alas, what misfortune, to have provoked this Killing Star. If only I knew back then not to send Little Yue to the Luo Mansion!"

"Mother, it’s all fate. Besides, had Little Yue gone to the Lin Family, she would have been no more than a concubine. Although the Lin Family in Luoyang is powerful, compared to the Luo Family, they are like a sparrow to a phoenix. You saw just now, that Second Young Master Luo went to great lengths to find someone. Among the other official family’s sons, who has such boldness, and who has such heart?"

Three people boarded the carriage, and at that moment, another supremely beautiful face was revealed: eyebrows arched like the new moon, eyes as deep as autumn waters, lips like cherry blossoms, and a face as white and bright as the moon disk. She looked as if her beauty was meticulously crafted by dozens of skilled artisans. The woman was clad in a black robe that concealed her exquisite features behind a layer of cotton veil, only to be revealed in the presence of those closest to her.

However, were you there at the time, you certainly would have leapt up and exclaimed, "Zhao’er!"

"Second sister, why did you tell that to the Second Young Master?" Once on the carriage, Yang’s mother resumed her chiding of her second daughter.

"Mother, I see that the Second Young Master is a person of utmost sincerity and trust. It’s better for Little Yue to be with him than to suffer at the Lin Family’s home. Besides, haven’t you heard Little Yue say before that the Second Young Master never treated her as a lower-class man but rather like a younger sister?"

Without her disguise, the woman’s voice sounded exceptionally pleasant, gentle as the breeze and refined as mist, so soft and delicate it seemed to pierce directly into one’s soul.

"Ah," sighed Yang’s mother softly before speaking up, "Even so, we must go to Luoyang and apologize to Old Madam Lin."

"Mother, we mustn’t do that at all costs. If we were to go, it would only harm the good relations between our two families. Let Second Young Master Luo handle this. Didn’t elder sister say the other day that Madam Luo was also very attached to Little Yue? It’s clear that the Luo Family cherishes her dearly. With the Luo Family taking the lead, no one would dare to speak ill. Besides, the Lin Family only sent the marriage gifts privately; there was no formal marriage document. All we have to do is return the gifts."

Having said this, the three people in the carriage all sighed. Little Yue’s little hand clenched tightly onto her dress; she knew very well that if her family hadn’t been in dire straits, her mother would not have sent her to the Luo Mansion, and if they hadn’t been nearly out of food, her grandmother wouldn’t have accepted the Lin Family’s betrothal gifts.

Perhaps seeing through Little Yue’s inner turmoil, her aunt smiled and pulled Little Yue into her embrace. She spoke with firm conviction, "I have already made up my mind. In a few days, the selection of ladies for the Imperial Palace will begin. As long as you enter the palace, our lives will soon improve."

Inside the carriage, everyone fell silent. After a while, the aged voice of Yang’s mother was heard, "Coachman, please turn back to Chang’an. We’ll pay double the fare."

"Giddy up!" You rode furiously with Luo Gang and others, finally arriving in Luoyang at dusk.

"Halt, no horse-riding allowed into the city!" At the West City Gate of Luoyang, you and your companions were stopped by the garrison soldiers. Luo Gang promptly showed the soldiers a token, and upon seeing it, their expressions changed faster than one could blink!

"Let them pass!"

Once you and others charged into Luoyang City on horseback, a newly enlisted soldier couldn’t help but ask the veteran beside him, "I say, elder brother, who are they that just with a token they’re let in so easily?"

"Luo Cheng, do you know of General Luo?"

"Of course, the man is revered as the God of War of our Great Tang!" The soldier’s eyes were filled with endless respect at the mention of Luo Cheng.

"That token belongs only to the personal soldiers of Marshal Luo."

"So that was the famous Luo Family Army!" The soldier’s eyes immediately filled with boundless admiration.

"Focus on your duty as a garrison soldier. Each and every one of them is a killing star on the battlefield; it’s not a stretch to say they could each take on a hundred at once. We stand no chance compared to them."
