Chapter 38: Oath and Allegiance (4)
"Imperial Physician Xue should have also learned martial arts, right?"
"I've learned a little bit—"
"Fur?"
Xue Han's words were just a gesture of modesty, and Zhou Cheng could understand that. Since the other party was the Black Wolves who were able to break through layers of guards, but Xue Han and his team were able to knock them down easily, and they were even in the middle of an operation, it was obvious that they were very powerful.
"Can you tell me why you are loyal to me?"
Zhou Cheng clearly remembered that Xue Han suddenly appeared after the death of the former King of Zhou and said that he would be loyal to him. Of course, he also told him his identity. Zhou Cheng could not believe that someone like Xue Han, who was practicing medicine everywhere, would be loyal to him. Since he had superb medical skills, it would be nice to recruit him for his own use. However, he was an outsider who suddenly broke in, so Zhou Cheng could not help but be wary of him. Zhou Cheng had asked him many times, but the answer was still only one...
"I just want more people to be alive. Isn't that enough?"
Just after he finished recalling, Xue Han's habitual only answer came up again. Xue Han did not give any further explanation, which is why Zhou Cheng still cannot figure out Xue Han's thoughts and does not dare to trust him 100%.
"Honestly, I still don't know what you are thinking. Your answer seems easy to understand but it is difficult to understand. I really want to trust you, but... or do you really just want to test me?"
There were only Xue Han and Zhou Cheng in the imperial study, and Zhou Cheng could say whatever he wanted to say without any scruples.
"Do you lack confidence in yourself?"
Xue Han chose to be loyal because he valued Zhou Cheng's ability and hoped that he could benefit more people; Zhou Cheng also understood this meaning, but he didn't understand why Xue Han valued him so much? Because too many things happened before he appeared, he had to doubt it. Every time he asked him, he would only answer the same thing, which was a simple answer that left Zhou Cheng speechless.
Recalling the many things that happened since Xue Han appeared, there is indeed no reason to doubt Xue Han's existence. Although he seems to be unmoved by anyone, and not like someone who would bow to power, he can be subservient to himself, which has been fully confirmed. He speaks very little, so sometimes even when he is present, Zhou Cheng and Shan Zhen discuss secrets that should not be disclosed. For so long, Xue Han has never contacted anyone, except Wang Ye, who Zhou Yan suddenly brought back. Do they seem to be old acquaintances? Apart from the fact that he is an old acquaintance with Wang Ye, Xue Han is a person who doesn't care about anyone. Only he can instruct him. Does such a person really have ulterior motives?
"Can I trust you, King?"
"random!"
Zhou Cheng raised the corners of his lips to Xue Han's answer: "I will issue the appointment letter at the morning court tomorrow. From now on, you will be at my service. You can do whatever you want and how you want. The condition is that you stay by my side and be loyal to me. Okay?"
As soon as Zhou Cheng finished speaking, Xue Han knelt on one knee and performed the highest etiquette of loyalty to Zhou Cheng...
"Yes, I, Xue Han, will always be by your side and swear to be loyal to you until death!"
Xue Han expressed his calm attitude. He had been staying by Zhou Cheng's side with this idea in mind. Now he was more certain of this. Zhou Cheng also put aside all his doubts about Xue Han and looked at him with a trusting look. He believed that he had not made a mistake in choosing him. Although it was a little late, he could finally put down the heavy stone that had been in his heart. There were not many opportunities to get talented people. Since talented people could be loyal to him, how could he refuse them? He felt sorry and relieved for Xue Han. He felt sorry because he had tested Xue Han for too long, and he was relieved because he could get a talented person like Xue Han to work for him...
"Then can you tell me what is your relationship with Wang Ye?"
"Yes, but he has told me not to reveal it, so please just keep it to yourself."
"Speak!"
"He is..."
The reason why Zhou Cheng wanted to know Wang Ye's background was because he was an old acquaintance of Xue Han and the only person Xue Han could entrust important matters to without any scruples. Although Xue Han had promised Wang Ye not to reveal his identity, since he was loyal to Zhou Cheng, he had the obligation to tell him. At the same time, in order to keep his promise, Zhou Cheng had no choice but to ask him to keep his mouth shut.
[Qingfeng Manor] In an elegant study.
"Looks interesting doesn't it?"
"master--"
Feng Yan was reporting the situation to Feng Qinghan. Feng Yan should be cautious about this, but Feng Qinghan was very relaxed about it, which made Feng Yan a little worried...
"Anyway, whether it succeeds or not, it won't have much impact on us, right?"
"That's true—"
Feng Qinghan took the matter very calmly. Although Feng Yan also knew about it, he just always felt bad about it.
"I just didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise this time. Is he the disciple of the world's number one doctor? It seems that in addition to medical skills, his skills are not simple. So, Feng Yan, have you found out the identity of the other person?"
"Yes, but we only know that the other person present at the time was Wang Ye, who was equally skilled as Xue Han in medicine and treated the dancer together. We don't know his origins or identity. We heard that he was brought back from the State of Zhao by Prince Jing. However, we have found out that he seems to have had close contact with Prince Zhao."
"Oh? Does that mean he is King Zhao's man?"
"According to current calculations, it is correct. I have already ordered my subordinates to continue investigating. I believe it will not take long to confirm it."
Feng Yan still had some doubts about this, but Feng Qinghan, on the other hand, was completely certain. From their conversation, it seemed that the assassin who assassinated Zhou Yan was also related to them?
"Is it necessary for you to go there in person? Don't make any more mistakes. If it's you, you should be able to see his true colors after fighting him, right?"
"Master, what you mean is—"
"You will be the one to carry out the mission tonight!"
"yes!"
"Remember, just checking the details—"
"I know!"
Feng Qinghan's words immediately gave Feng Yan an invisible pressure. He thought that if he failed, he would be to blame.
"Go down!"
"Yes! I will take my leave!"
Feng Yan left, and Feng Qinghan was left alone in the room: "What will you do next? I'm really looking forward to it——"
After the words fell, Feng Qinghan began to pluck the strings in his hand...
