After a long while, a tall man in black clothes walked into the room. He wore a bamboo hat on his head that covered his face.
He walked away while cursing, "You're being so secretive. People who don't know would think I'm having a tryst with some girl! I'm not married yet! If this gets out, my reputation will be ruined!"
When he walked to the door, lifted the bead curtain, and saw two people sitting in the room, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
"Lord Luo?" he cried out in surprise.
Xiao Jing looked at him coldly and said in a cold tone: "You've already entered the house, but you're still wearing a bamboo hat and acting like a ghost!"
The man took off his hat and revealed his handsome face. When Luo Cheng saw him, he stood up in panic and said in a trembling voice, "Zuo Shaoqing!"
Song Zhen, the Left Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, is the Prime Minister's favorite student! Song Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly, "Young Master! Is this the important person you mentioned?"
Xiao Jinghan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded with a smile, and introduced solemnly: "Yes, Lord Luo, the Minister of Justice, you can call him brother!"
When Song Zhen heard this, a disapproving smile appeared on his face, and he responded in a relaxed tone: "Oh, really? But I am an orphan without a father or mother!" After saying that, he shrugged pitifully.
However, at this moment, Luo Cheng tightly clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves, thinking secretly in his heart. He remembered what his adoptive father once said to him, that as long as he had the opportunity to meet the young master, he might be able to solve the mystery of his life experience! Now, this opportunity has finally come...
Xiao Jinghan nodded to Wenfu, who took out a file and turned a page to Luo Cheng: "This is your father's life!"
Luo Cheng took it excitedly and read it carefully. Soon his tears flowed out like a flood!
Seeing this scene, Song Zhen couldn't help but rolled his eyes and muttered to himself: That shouldn't be the case, has the old man never told him these things?
However, for Luo Cheng, this was the first time he had known his father's past in such detail. Those stories and experiences that had been buried by time were now revealed before him, making him feel an unprecedented shock and emotion.
Every line and every sentence was like a key that opened a corner deep in his heart and allowed him to have a deeper understanding of his father.
Song Zhen, on the other hand, could not experience this kind of emotion. He grew up in a different environment, and he knew who his parents were very early. He and Luo Cheng had a completely different growth background.
Therefore, it was difficult for him to understand why Luo Cheng would cry because of such a simple biography. But he also understood that everyone's feelings are unique and he could not use his own standards to measure other people's emotional reactions.
Song Zhen took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Luo Cheng. After Luo Cheng took it, he choked up and said, "Thank you, Brother Song!"
When Song Zhen heard this, he almost couldn't help cursing. This guy is really rude, he actually thinks of himself as his brother? !
However, Song Zhen still suppressed his dissatisfaction. After all, now was not the time to argue with him.
Song Zhen looked at the grown man in front of him, crying loudly, and couldn't help feeling disgusted.
He frowned and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop crying. We are all orphans of the Xiao family army. What is there to cry about? Look at me. Have I ever cried?"
Hearing this, Luo Cheng quickly wiped away his tears and smiled shyly. He looked at Song Zhen gratefully and said, "Thank you, young master! I finally know what my father does! It turns out that he is also a member of the Xiao family army..."
Xiao Jinghan stood aside, feeling very heavy-hearted. He said softly, "Not long after your father died in battle, your mother died of illness. It was Doctor Xi who found you and raised you. I was also young at that time, and became an orphan like you."
He glanced at Song Zhen, a hint of complex emotions flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly spoke: "Your father and Song Zhen's father are sworn brothers. They have experienced many ups and downs together and have a deep relationship. This king hopes that you can also inherit this friendship, become friends, and face future challenges together."
Song Zhen touched his nose, and after a moment's silence, he whispered, "Okay, I see." However, there was a hint of reluctance in his voice.
Luo Cheng saw that the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, so he broke the deadlock and shouted with a smile: "Brother Song!"
When Song Zhen heard Luo Cheng's call, he raised his head slightly, forced a smile on his face, and responded, "Brother Luo!"
Luo Cheng said enthusiastically: "Since we are all family, don't be polite. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me."
Song Zhen nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Luo."
At this moment, Luo Cheng suddenly seemed to remember something, patted his head, and said to Song Zhen: "Oh, by the way, Brother Song, you haven't had dinner yet, right? Come over and sit down, let's have dinner together and chat."
Song Zhen hesitated for a moment, but still walked to the dining table and sat down.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng hurriedly poured wine and served food to Song Zhen, being very attentive.
Although Song Zhen still had some grudges in his heart, seeing Luo Cheng so enthusiastic, he said nothing more and just enjoyed the food in silence.
After dinner, the three of them sat around the tea table, sipping tea and chatting.
Song Zhen couldn't help but complain, "Young Master! How many of our people are there in this court? You told us, what if we hurt one of our own?"
Xiao Jinghan took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup, sighed and said, "I don't know how many people your godfather has! Some of them were planned by him many years ago! "
Song Zhen's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he asked incredulously: "Did foster father know at that time that there was a prince who needed assistance?"
Luo Cheng was confused and asked in confusion: "Aren't we assisting the young master? Why the prince? Are we going to participate in the fight for the throne?"
Song Zhen looked at Luo Cheng's silly look with disdain and angrily scolded him: "How did you get into the officialdom? And you were favored by Emperor Wen? You are really as stupid as a pig!"
Hearing this, Luo Cheng was not angry, but replied seriously: "Of course I entered the officialdom by taking the imperial examination!"
Seeing this, Song Zhen rolled his eyes helplessly, then reached out and touched his nose, and patiently explained: "Emperor Wen's sons are all adults, and the fight for the throne will become more and more intense! And our young master's wife is the cousin of the King of Qin! And the young master's cousin will become the King of Qin's concubine in the future! If the prince becomes the emperor, do you think the King of Qin and the young master will still have a chance to survive?"
After hearing these words, Luo Cheng's face became serious and he nodded solemnly to show his agreement.
