Chapter 256 Brotherly Love Remains Strong
Luo Wenhao, who was rushing back to the capital from selling goods in other places, docked at the pier with two ships of medicinal herbs purchased from other places.
Luo Ning, who had recovered from his injuries and was agile, came to meet the boat. After seeing Luo Wenhao getting off the boat with his hands on his back, he said happily: "Second Master, you came back more than ten days earlier than planned. It seems that everything went well. The young lady also returned safely and lived in the Wenquan Villa in the south of Qinwangfu."
"My little sister is back? Luo Ning, I'll leave the unloading to you. I want to go see my little sister!" Hearing that his sister was back, Luo Wenhao immediately dropped the things at hand, rode Luo Ning's horse and rushed straight to the Wenquan Villa in the south of the city.
Luo Li was about to go out, and Hong Gu had just opened the carriage curtain, thinking about helping the young lady get on the carriage, when the sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and a young man in fine clothes on horseback stepped on the stirrups, waved his hands and shouted: "Little sister! I'm back!..."
Luo Li smiled with her eyebrows curved, and the second brother was still so coquettish, showing off his unrestrained and high spirits.
Luo Wenhao flew to the front, circled the horse, turned around and stopped suddenly, and jumped off the horse, his movements were really elegant and beautiful. She threw the reins and whip into the servants' hands, "Little sister, are you going out? Second brother has missed you so much that he hasn't eaten or slept well in the past few months, and has lost 10 to 20 pounds. You won't abandon me and go away, will you?"
Luo Li slapped her second brother's hand that was grabbing her sleeve, "Second brother, I have an appointment today, so I really can't accompany you. Otherwise, you can come another day?"
Luo Wenhao looked at his sister aggrievedly, pouting as if he was about to cry, "Little sister, you are so heartless. You left my second brother in the capital to help you manage your business and make money, but you didn't even give me a date. If I knew this, I might as well follow my parents to Xishu!"
: "Okay, okay!" Luo Li smiled secretly in her heart and hurried to coax, "Second brother, I'm just teasing you! Since we've caught up, I'll take you to the banquet. Let's go!" Luo Li got on the carriage.
Luo Wenhao's tearful face immediately turned into a smile, and he squeezed into the carriage and asked, "Little sister, who invited you to the banquet? The brother-in-law of the King of Qin is not here, and the second brother is just your bodyguard."
Luo Li reached out and pulled the second brother: "I made an appointment with Kou Zhun, Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong to meet in Hot Pot City. We haven't seen each other for too long, and the brothers need to keep in touch at the wine table."
"Kou Zhun?" Luo Wenhao's tearful face suddenly turned into a smile, and he looked aggrieved and resentful like a punching bag.
: "Little sister, can you... can you restore my father Lord Luo's biological son status for me today?"
Luo Li laughed, looked at her second brother apologetically and said: "Second brother, I have wronged you these days. Kou Zhun has been hooked and completely become ours, I will completely return my father's biological son status to you."
: "Really?" Luo Wenhao immediately became energetic, beaming with joy, "Today I will let Kou Zhun know who is the real second son of the Luo family, let him see the elegant style of the second son of Luo."
Kou Zhun, Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong arrived at Chuanran Hotpot City early, drinking tea and chatting. The three of them have become close friends, and they are particularly close after not seeing each other for many days.
"Brother Cao, Brother Gao, you two are both excellent in martial arts and brave and heroic. This time you followed your father to participate in the Northern Expedition, but you didn't have the opportunity to make achievements. It's a pity!"
When Kou Zhun mentioned this, Cao Wei and Gao Xingxiong were both depressed. Cao Wei was even a little ashamed: "Old Kou, can you stop talking about irrelevant things? How dare a defeated general talk about courage? We two brothers are almost suffocated to death. . "
Gao Yingxiong yelled in a frustrated and angry voice: "If the food supply had not been cut off and the army's morale had not been shaken, our army would not have been defeated in the Qigou Pass. The civil officials sent by the emperor to supervise the army have no military knowledge and yet they still give blind orders and tactical commands. Otherwise, how could the food route be cut off by the enemy when heavy troops were escorting food and fodder? The generals who fought bloody battles on the front line were blamed for it. It's really a damn pit!"
: "Yingxiong, be careful with your words!" Cao Wei hurriedly warned his outspoken brother.
Kou Zhun sighed. Although he was a civil official who had passed the imperial examination, he disagreed with the Song Dynasty's policy of suppressing military power and promoting culture. Civil officials were responsible for managing government affairs, and military officers were responsible for fighting and defending the country. Wouldn't it be good to be good at whatever you are good at?
If the policy of suppressing military power and promoting culture continued for a long time, the military officers would be discouraged. Would the Song Dynasty still be strong? Would the soldiers still be able to fight the enemy bravely and fearlessly?
Kou An, who was guarding the door of the private room, rubbed his eyes, and carefully looked at the smiling Luo Li again. He opened his mouth in shock and stammered: "Luo... Luo... Miss Luo?"
Luo Li smiled and patted his head, "Hush! Keep your voice down, I want to surprise your young master."
After that, Luo Li pushed the door open and walked in. Luo Wenhao, who was about to clarify his identity, followed closely with a grin and a puffed chest.
There was a commotion of chairs in the room. Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong were surprised to see that the Princess of Qin came to the banquet as a woman, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
The two bowed to the ground. After learning about some of the deeds of the Princess of Qin following the Western Route Northern Expedition Army on the front line, the two admired the Princess of Qin to the point of prostrating themselves.
"General Cao Wei and General Gao Yingxiong pay their respects to the Princess of Qin!" The two men, who already had military posts, called themselves generals.
Luo Li extended her hand to support him, "Generals, please excuse me."
Kou Zhun stared at Luo Li in a daze, as shocked as a stone statue with its mouth wide open.
Luo Wenhao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Kou Zhun, look carefully, I, Luo Laoer, am the legitimate Second Young Master of the Luo Family, and I am my father's biological son!" Luo Wenhao gritted his teeth to squeeze out the last few words.
Oh my God! The Second Young Master Luo, who had been my brother for more than half a year, turned out to be the Princess of Qin in disguise!
Kou Zhun, who had just woken up, ignored Luo Wenhao. He stood up and bowed deeply to Luo Li, "Kou Zhun is blind and did not know Lu Shan's true face. I rudely offended the Princess Qin. Please forgive me!"
Luo Li giggled, "It's not your fault. I was the princess who concealed my identity deliberately. Old Kou, we will still be brothers from now on."
Kou Zhun was still a little frightened and kept saying that he didn't dare.
Luo Wenhao, who wanted to show off his power, was ignored. He was so angry that he stretched out his legs and kicked Wanzi, "Kou Zhun, where did you get so scared? You were tricked by my younger sister into becoming my father's disciple. We are a family. My younger sister said that we should remain brothers in the future, and we should remain brothers in the future!"
Kou Zhun, who staggered after being kicked, turned around and greeted Luo Wenhao, "Kou Zhun has met my second brother."
Luo Wenhao Hao's beautiful mouth curled up to his ears again, and he hugged Kou Zhun affectionately, "Brother Kou Zhun, from now on we brothers are a family. I, the genuine second son of the Luo family, will definitely protect you, a small official who has no big trees to shade you in the capital. If Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong dare to bully you, your second brother will help you beat them up and put a pair of embroidered shoes in their mouths."
Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong, who were shot innocently, were stunned!
Being looked down upon by Luo Er, an unlearned and unlearned playboy? The two looked at each other, rolled up their sleeves and shouted: "Come on! Luo Er, let's see who gets a black eye?"
"Luo Er, you are a defeated general since childhood, and you dare to speak so arrogantly. If you have the guts, let's have a fight!"
Because his younger sister was present, Luo Wenhao, who wanted to take advantage of the situation to show off his power, was immediately frightened. With a big smile on his face, he stepped forward and took the hands of Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong, who were shouting aggressively, and said, "Brother, brother, we have been brothers since we were young, can you give us some face?"
Cao Wei immediately hugged Luo Wenhao's shoulders affectionately, "Brother, face should be given to each other, do you understand?"
Gao Yingxiong glared at him! "Luo Er, if you dare to mention the matter of embroidered shoes stuffed in our mouths again, we will have nothing to do with you brothers."
Luo Wenhao smiled so hard that his eyebrows and eyes were squeezed together. He smiled wickedly at his little sister and squeezed his eyes, "Understood! Understood! From now on, I will never mention the embarrassing incident of you two eating embroidered shoes again."
Luo Li was afraid that Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong would fall out again because of his second brother's teasing, so he hurriedly said, "Brothers, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time. Today, let's not go home until we are drunk. Hurry up and serve the wine and food, and have a good time."
