Chapter 205: General Zhenguo
Su Mulian and Cheng Aoran looked at Cheng Xiujie in a complicated mood in disbelief, and Cheng Aoran, who didn't think much about it, was ready to step forward to stop it, but was quickly stopped by the woman next to her, shaking her head slightly.
"Mr. Cheng, the carriage is waiting outside the door!" Seeing that he didn't speak, the butler reminded him respectfully with his hands.
Cheng Xiujie, who had been silent for a long time, smiled in a low voice, unable to see any emotion, and then got up and said, "Let's go." ”
"Amu, what are you stopping me from doing?" Cheng Aoran frowned worriedly when he saw them leave, and asked incomprehensibly.
Su Mulian smiled lightly and explained in a low voice: "Looking at this scene, the regent should know your father, right?" ”
Hearing this, Cheng Aoran's body was shocked, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked, "We have been living in the mountains outside Qingyuan Town, how can we know each other?" ”
"Did your dad tell you about your youth?" Su Mulian asked again.
Cheng Aoran shook his head, Su Mulian, who seemed to have guessed something, just smiled meaningfully, and then the two followed to the Regent's Mansion.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, she came to the main hall, this was the first time Su Mulian came here as a princess, and the attitude of the people in the house towards her was much more respectful.
I saw Liang Zhao, who was emotionally complicated, sitting on the main seat of the main hall, drinking tea and waiting for someone.
"Uncle Huang is well." Su Mulian bent down to say goodbye.
Liang Zhao nodded and said, "Zhaohua, sit down." ”
Su Mulian nodded, looked at the Cheng father and son, and then walked to the side and sat down.
"See the prince." Cheng Aoran bowed his hand and said.
Liang Zhao also nodded: "Cheng Gongzi doesn't have to be polite. ”
But from beginning to end, Cheng Xiujie, who had not said a word, did not salute, but just looked at Liang Zhao directly, with anger and dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Su Mulian looked at this scene, she was really a little scared, and took a sip of tea, which could be regarded as a suppressive shock.
"I haven't seen you in seventeen years, old friend." Liang Zhao finally raised a meaningful smile and said in a low voice.
These words made Cheng Aoran's eyes widen in disbelief, and his eyes looked back and forth between the two, and as expected, Su Mulian was waiting to see a good show.
Cheng Xiujie smiled coldly, looked at Liang Zhao indifferently, and laughed at himself: "The old man is just a hunter in the mountains, how can he be qualified to be a friend of the regent?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was worried, and the people in the house even thought to themselves, where did a mere peasant family borrow the courage to dare to shout with the prince?
"Seventeen years have passed, and your temper has not changed in the slightest." Liang Zhao didn't get angry, but smiled softly and quipped.
Cheng Xiujie glanced at him impatiently, put his hands behind his back, and said dissatisfiedly: "My son is not sensible, and he has taken a martial arts championship, but we know that our identity is not worthy, so the regent of Lao will bring a message to the present day and resign from this ridiculous honor." ”
"Seventeen years have passed, and you are still haunted by it." Liang Zhao saw that his attitude was firm, and the corners of his mouth that seemed to be smiling gradually flattened, frowned slightly, and said meaningfully.
"I'm haunted?" Cheng Xiujie's mood suddenly became excited, and he smiled helplessly, "When I defended my family and the country, you can convict me with a false testimony?" Denying everything I've given for? ”
Su Mulian, who was sitting quietly on the side, as expected, Cheng Xiujie had another life experience, and the direction of this plot is comparable to that of a TV series!
"Father? What do you say? Cheng Aoran, who had never been aware, was surprised when he heard this, his eyes widened incredulously, and he asked rhetorically.
"Want to know your background?" Liang Zhao sighed, looked at Cheng Aoran, and asked in a low voice.
"Background?" Cheng Proudly looked at Cheng Xiujie incredulously, and for a moment, his mood was extremely complicated.
"Your background is nothing but Orion!" Cheng Xiujie reminded sharply.
"Brother Cheng, now that it's happened, do you still plan to hide your arrogance?" Liang Zhao asked rhetorically.
Seeing this heavy and embarrassing atmosphere, Su Mulian hurriedly stepped forward, helped Cheng Xiujie up, and comforted: "Uncle Cheng, sit down." ”
Afterwards, everyone sat down, Cheng Xiujie's mood was extremely heavy, and he frowned, and seemed to know that Cheng Aoran's life experience could not be hidden.
"Proud, do you know that your father used to be the general of the town of the Great Victory?" Liang Zhao said softly.
As soon as these words came out, not only Cheng Aoran, but even Su Mulian was shocked.
This is the general of the town, but the honorary title, even if the prime minister meets, he must be in awe of three points, not everyone can be named the general of the town, and the victory is since the founding of the country, and there are few people.
Su Mulian was particularly surprised, presumably Cheng Xiujie's past was very brilliant.
"Father, is what the prince said true?" Cheng Aoran, who was stunned for a long time, relieved himself and asked.
"Your father, with the emperor and this king, is a good brother who was born and died, and your father contributed the most to the change of the Ming Xuan Palace." Liang Zhao's eyes were full of nostalgic memories and said.
"Good brother?" Cheng Xiujie smiled coldly and sneered, "My so-called good brother has charged me with a trumped-up crime? ”
"I know you have a grudge in your heart, but all the evidence at that time was conclusive, even if the imperial brother knew that you were innocent, there was nothing to be done." Liang Zhao hurriedly explained.
Cheng Xiujie chuckled indifferently.
"Full of enthusiasm, loyalty and courage are no match for that black and white paper." Cheng Xiujie laughed at himself weakly, "My success is ridiculous." ”
"Xiujie, do you think the imperial brother can bear it? He made a special effort to greet the local officials and ask them to take care of them. Liang Zhao was upset and said anxiously.
But in Cheng Xiujie's eyes, he didn't care about all this, nor was he moved in the slightest, and he didn't want to say anything more, lest the memories flood more, and then he stood up and sighed meaningfully.
"Seventeen years have passed since these events, and I don't want to reminisce about them." Cheng Xiujie stood up, looked at Cheng Aoran behind him, and said earnestly, "Now you finally know why your father doesn't let you enter the court as an official, right?" ”
Cheng Aoran, who was in a very complicated mood, didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Being a father is a living example of you!" Cheng Xiujie added.
Su Mulian looked at the father and son, very distressed, the big man who once shed his blood for the court was ruined by the dirty methods in the court, which is sad and regrettable.
"Father......" Cheng Aoran didn't know how to answer at this moment, just whispered softly.
"If you still have my father in your eyes, go back with me." Cheng Xiujie knew that he was unwilling, but in order for him not to repeat the mistakes of the past, he could only threaten like this.
"He has your shadow on him, if he can enter the court as an official, he will be able to serve the court."
