As soon as he came back from Prince Ding's mansion, Han Bing went to find the Zuo Xiang.

Quietly came to the study of the Xiangfu that was still shining with light, he stood silent for a moment, then knocked lightly on the door of the study, and after hearing the person inside reply "Come in", he pushed the door and walked in.

Leng Yiqing saw that the person who came in was cold, he was slightly stunned, put the scroll in his hand on the bookcase in front of him, and then asked with a smile: "It's so late, but what news is there from Prince Ding's side?"

Han Bing nodded, with a light smile on his face, "There is indeed new news." ”

Since that day in the Hui Garden, Han Bing drank the pot of poisonous wine mixed with Heavenly Poison, and the fact that he was not a member of the Yin Clan was revealed.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between their father and son seems to be more harmonious than before, but Leng Yiqing and Han Bing's hearts are very clear that behind that surface harmony, there is a kind of indifference and alienation that is deliberately hidden.

Han Bing rarely appeared in front of Leng Yiqing, even when he met by chance in order to convey the news of Prince Ding, he did not have the unruliness of Leng Yiqing in the past, only the usual politeness and politeness.

And because Leng Yiqing no longer has that feeling of caring and messing, he also showed his usual elegance and calmness, and became very gentle and kind to Han Bing, as if he was a loving father.

At this moment, I saw him elegantly raise his hand to Han Bing and signaled, "Don't worry, sit down and talk." ”

"Thank you, Father. ”

Han Bing first bowed before sitting in a chair next to him, and then continued to speak: "Prince Ding has received news that the northern rudder of the Loyalty League has been attacked one after another, and it is likely that the northerners' secret spies have done it. Therefore, the prince asked me to remind my lord that Emperor Rong Yu Wengang should be planning another southern invasion. ”

Leng Yiqing nodded when he heard this, and said: "Tomorrow, I will report this matter to the emperor, and at the same time order the northern army to be ready to respond to the enemy in time." ”

Han Bing smiled, then stood up and said, "The news has arrived, and Han Bing will no longer bother my father!"

Seeing this smile on his face, for some reason, a feeling of loss suddenly hit Leng Yiqing's heart.

He had never had the opportunity to meet that real son Xiao Yu, so naturally he didn't know if the child looked like his wife Fang Yin.

However, every time he saw the cold smile, he seemed to see Fang Yin smiling at him.

When he encounters such a time, he will ruthlessly warn himself that the young man in front of him is just a familiar stranger.

But he always couldn't control himself, and he would lose his mind at that familiar smile.

Han Bing didn't seem to notice the difference in the expression of this Zuo Xiang, but after bowing and bowing, he walked out of the study without looking back.

And at the moment when the door was closed, he heard an inaudible sigh from the left minister.

After standing in the doorway for a few more moments, he finally smiled and strode away.

............................................................

As soon as he approached the courtyard where he lived in the Hui Garden, Han Bing saw Shiyu facing his door again, facing his door and sitting on the bluestone steps in front of the courtyard gate with his knees crossed.

Han Bing slowly walked behind him and asked softly, "It's so late, why don't you go back to rest?"

Seyu turned her head and looked at him silently with those big black eyes.

Han Bing smiled slightly, and stepped forward to sit side by side with him on the steps.

"I'm going to go to the south with my mother tomorrow ——, to-" Shiyu lowered her head and said in a muffled voice.

Han Bing knew that Lord Zuo Xiang finally persuaded the lady Su Xiangzhu, who would rather die by his side, and asked her to take Shiyu to follow Su Gong's family and return to her hometown in the south to save her relatives, which was actually to avoid trouble.

Today's court dispute has reached the point of tension. Although Lord Zuo Xiang himself has completely let himself out, Madame and Shiyu are finally tired of his heart, and he really dare not let them be subjected to the unscrupulous calculations of those insidious opponents.

"It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. Going out and seeing more will not only increase your knowledge, but also hone your will, which will be of great benefit to you. ”

The cold and gentle voice comforted Shiyu, who was obviously unwilling. But even he could hear it, and although his words were reasonable, they seemed too serious, and there was no longer the intimacy between brothers in the past.

Because he knew that Lord Zuo Xiang had already told Shiyu that Xiao Yu, who would never come back, was his own brother.

In fact, Han Bing can fully understand the intention of this Zuo Xiang's intention-

Although he had never seen the son who died young, he still hoped to give Xiao Yu a rightful place in this family. This can be regarded as a kind of compensation for his wife Lin Fangyin, who was abandoned by him.

"Aren't you really my brother ——,?" Shiyu suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Bing seriously.

The cold bright eyes darkened slightly, "What do you think?"

"I-"

Shiyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think you are my brother, and you are also a hermit." Otherwise, why do you know so much about the knowledge of the hermits?"

Han Bing couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that he had neglected this point!

Who knew that something that even the always shrewd Zuo Xiang-sama didn't expect would be thought of by Shiyu, who was young but thoughtful.

Fortunately, with Shiyu's reminder today, I can prepare in advance. If he is asked by the Zuo Prime Minister in the future, he can calmly give him a pre-made answer.

It's just that maybe ——, left minister doesn't have the heart to think about these issues anymore.

Han Bing gently stroked Shiyu's head and said with a smile, "I have lived in Chongyuan for several years and learned a lot of knowledge about the Yin Clan. It's taught to you now, and you can pass on what you've learned to others in the future. ”

Hearing his answer, which was not an answer at all, Shiyu's little face first showed a trace of confusion, and then thought, yes, since he is not a hermit, but he can learn the knowledge of the hermit, then his brother ——, he does not necessarily have to be a hermit.

And if his brother is not a hermit, then he will definitely not be his own brother-

Seeing the obvious look of disappointment on Shiyu's face, Han Bing's heart couldn't help but pass through a slight sourness.

He continued to caress Shiyu's head and said, "In my heart, I have always regarded you as my own brother. That's why I will teach you those valuable knowledge, and I hope that one day, you can use this knowledge to do something for the people of the world. ”

Hearing him say this, Shiyu's eyes suddenly brightened, and the corners of his mouth showed a slightly shy smile, "Then ——, can I still call you brother in the future?"

Han Bing nodded and said, "Of course you can! Whether it's in front of people, or just you and me like now, you can call me brother." And whenever you need me, my brother will be there for you. ”

Shiyu didn't speak, but suddenly wrapped his arms around Han Bing's waist and buried his head in his arms.

After a long time, he said sullenly: "I know, you are my own brother!"

Seeing that Shiyu, who had always been restrained, suddenly made such an abnormal move, Han Bing couldn't help but hug the younger brother in his arms tightly after being stunned for a moment, and a doting smile appeared on his face.
