As expected, within three days, the rewards of the three armies were in place, Han Mo said goodbye to his family, no longer delayed, and commanded the northwest cavalry, and then set off to return to the northwest.

Han Mo knew the importance of this trip, and when he returned to the northwest, he would do everything he could to firmly control the military power in the northwest, but he also deeply understood that if he wanted to completely control the northwest army, it would be an extremely difficult thing, and there would inevitably be many thorns in the middle that he needed to cut off by himself.

When the cavalry pulled out of camp and the whole team was about to leave, the trouble that Han Mo expected came head-on.

A team of fifty elite armored warriors escorted a carriage and slowly came to the cavalry formation, and under Han Mo's gaze, a middle-aged official in official uniform stepped down from the carriage.

That official uniform, but Han Mo recognized, was the official robe of the Imperial Historian of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

For a long time, the Imperial Historical Observatory has been an extremely active yamen in the court, and the best job of the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory is to quarrel with me in the court, and when you get chicken feathers, you will use it as an arrow, and when you see a thumb-sized gap, you will toss this gap into a monstrous hole with a three-inch incorruptible tongue.

In the Imperial Historical Tower, all of them are people who can speak well, and when the family is in power, in addition to the royal family, the major families have people in the Imperial Historical Observatory, and every court meeting is often kicked off by the impeachment of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Speaking of which, the power of the imperial historians of the Yan Kingdom is too small to be mentioned, but these sharp and eloquent debaters are often indispensable to various forces.

The Imperial Historian is the highest official of the Imperial Historical Observatory, a hardcore royalist, and naturally a master of eloquence.

This man is over fifty years old and has a slender figure, but standing there, he has a momentum of his own.

"Master Jiang!" Han Mo turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and arched his hand: "I don't know what Lord Jiang is doing here?" ”

The army is about to set off, and this Imperial Doctor has come here to do something.

Imperial Doctor Jiang Siyuan arched his fist to the right side and said lightly: "This official is in accordance with the will of the Holy Lord, and will accompany General Han to the northwest to inspect the border passes as the minister of the Qin Mission. Now that the situation at the border is complicated, the official is going to help General Han, and the other is to replace the emperor to visit the condition of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

Han Mo's face did not change, he smiled indifferently, and said: "I see, this is a long way to go to the mountains and roads, thousands of miles away, Lord Jiang has to take care of himself along the way." ”

Jiang Siyuan smiled calmly: "General Han rest assured, the Holy Lord has transferred fifty Golden Palace warriors to protect him in consideration of his own officer's safety, and with General Han's army by his side, this official should be able to reach the border pass alive." ”

Han Mo smiled slightly, and said no more.

There is no doubt that it is impossible for the emperor to allow himself to smoothly take over the military power in the northwest, so he sent such a minister to follow him, the purpose is to monitor himself at all times.

Han Mo turned over and got on his horse, with a wave of his hand, the Northwest Cavalry immediately set off, after a period of recuperation, there was no shortage of wine and meat, the Northwest Cavalry was full of energy, horses were like dragons, people were like tigers, Jin Ming and horses neighed, leaving Beijing and going to the northwest.

Beside Han Mo, there were two officials from the West Flower Hall following, dressed in black clothes, draped in black intestines, wearing a hat, and a black veil covering their faces, following Han Mo's side.

It's just that Wang Siyuan's eyes are sharp-eyed, but he found some clues, but he also wondered in his heart: "Are there many female officials in the West Flower Hall?" How did they follow the adults, but they were two female officials. ”

……

Five days after the Northwest Army left Beijing, Han Xuandao's father and son came to the Taishi Mansion with a very heavy dowry, and the Taishi personally led Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Tongguang out to greet him, which was very cordial.

The two sides were polite, and after a polite word, Taishi Xiao led Han Xuandao and his son into the main hall, and sat down as the guest and host.

When the next person came to serve tea, Han Xuandao already smiled and said: "Master, by the grace of the saint, take over this family business, you and I will be a family in the future." He glanced at Han Cang next to him, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen the Taishi and your future father-in-law yet!" ”

Although Han Cang has a cold and arrogant temperament, he was able to marry Xiao Lingzhi, who was coveted by countless noble children in Beijing, and he was also quite excited in his heart. Walking up to Xiao Huaijin again, he frowned slightly, but still saluted respectfully: "Han Cang has seen his father-in-law!" ”

Xiao Huaijin's expression was a little strange, he said "um", and looked at Xiao Taishi again, the father and son glanced at each other, Xiao Taishi was calm, but Xiao Huaijin looked very uncomfortable.

Waiting for Han Cang to sit down, Taishi Xiao raised his hand and said with a smile: "Drink tea, drink tea!" ”

Both sides picked up the teacups, both of them were one, and then they both put down the teacups, and after a little silence, Taishi Xiao smiled and said: "Xuandao, Ling Lang is a talent, and it is really a blessing for my Xiao family to be the son-in-law of my Xiao family!" ”

"The dog is young and unsophisticated, if he can get the guidance of the master, he will be fortunate in three lives!" Han Xuandao smiled.

Taishi Xiao waved his hand and smiled: "Xuan Dao is polite. The so-called back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the blue is better than the blue, these young people will be the pillars of my Dayan, we old men, always have to step off the stage. ”

Han Xuandao said with a smile: "Taishi should be old and strong, how can he say that he is old?" ”

"To be old is to be old. People say that the old man is homesick, and the old man didn't believe it before, but now he has to believe it. Mrs. Xiao sighed: "Now the old man is homesick, and he just can't wait to put on a pair of wings and fly back." ”

Although Xiao Jiacheng is also in Huiji County, it is also hundreds of miles away from the capital, which is not close.

Han Xuandao sighed lightly: "What the old lady said is very true. Xuandao is also an occasional thought of the East China Sea, I can't sleep at night, and I feel a lot of emotion! ”

"It's not going to work." Taishi Xiao stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man has now retired from the court, and he is light without an official, so he can return to his hometown, but Xuandao is in the prime of life, and he is in the prime of life, and it is the time to serve the country, and the pillars of the court are indispensable!" ”

Han Xuandao sighed and shook his head.

Xiao Huaijin looked strange, while Xiao Tongguang was holding the teacup, drinking the tea carelessly, and then put down the teacup, looking sleepy.

Last night, I tossed with a plump beauty who had been with me for a long time, and my energy was very poor.

For Xiao Tongguang, as long as there are silver flowers and beautiful women to play, he doesn't care about other things.

Han Cang sat upright, glancing at Xiao Tongguang out of the corner of his eye, his eyes crossed with a sneer, the Xiao family now looks like a sunset on the river, if it weren't for Xiao Lingzhi, he wouldn't want to sit with the people of the Xiao family.

Han Xuandao got up, took out a red sticker from his sleeve, walked in front of Master Xiao, and said respectfully: "Master, this is the dog's birthday!" ”

Change the post before the appointment, which is also a normal procedure.

Taishi Xiao took the red sticker, opened it and looked at it, stroked his beard and smiled: "It's a good eight character, it's really a match made in heaven with my Lingzhi!" Then he sighed and gently placed the red sticker on the tea table beside him.

What a character Han Xuandao was, he instantly felt that something was wrong, and suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Xuandao, the old man has a good calligraphy and painting, would you like to see it?"

Han Xuandao knew what he meant, so he wanted to take the opportunity to speak, and arched his hand: "Xuandao dares to disobey his fate!" ”

Taishi Xiao took the cane in the hand of the maid next to him, got up, and said, "Huaijin, second brother, you accompany Han Cang for a while, and the old man takes Xuandao to enjoy calligraphy and painting!" ”

didn't say much, and led Han Xuandao to the side door.

"Taishi, but there is something negligent in the Xuan Dao?" Han Xuandao followed Taishi Xiao's side: "If there is any negligence in Xuandao, Taishi will say it." ”

Taishi Xiao smiled calmly: "Xuan Dao, let's talk about it when you enter the house!" He led Han Xuandao into a room, closed the door with his hand, and then his expression became solemn, staring at Han Xuandao, and asked: "Xuandao, the old man asked you a word, don't you hide it from the old man!" ”

Han Xuandao frowned slightly, and immediately said, "The Taishi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." If you know about Xuandao, you don't want to hide it! ”

Taishi Xiao walked to the edge of a chair, stared at Han Xuandao's face, and said, "Xuandao, old man, let me ask you, does Han Mo have anything to do with my Lingzhi?" ”

"Little Five?" Han Xuandao frowned, he was extremely shrewd, as soon as Taishi Xiao's words came out, he knew that there must be something hidden, shook his head and said, "Taishi, where do you start with this?" Xiao Wu and Miss Xiao ...... What can it do? ”

Taishi Xiao sighed and said: "Xuandao, the old man sincerely married Lingzhi to Ling Lang, to tell the truth, firstly, it is indeed Ling Lang's talent and appearance, and secondly, he also wants to turn the nobles into jade silk, so that he can live in harmony in the future." You should understand that if you and I continue to quarrel, we will only lose in the end, and the only one who will benefit is the one in the palace! ”

Han Xuandao said solemnly: "The master treats me with sincerity, how dare Xuandao not treat me with sincerity." There are a large number of Taishi, and if they want to cultivate the good of the two families, Xuandao is grateful in his heart. ”

"But your nephew Han Mo doesn't seem to have the heart to reconcile with my Xiao family!" Taishi Xiao's expression was solemn.

Han Xuandao was a little confused at this time, and frowned: "Why did the Taishi say this? Xiao Wu is now going to the border, could it be that he has any incident? ”

Taishi Xiao's eyes were extremely sharp and looked at Han Xuan and said, "Xuan Dao, Han Mo and Lingzhi have made a private decision for life, don't you really know?" ”

"Private for life?" Han Xuandao was dumbfounded, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say solemnly: "Master, Xuandao is disrespectful, this kind of joke can't be made." ”

Taishi Xiao took out a letter from his sleeve and threw it on the table beside him angrily, "Xuan Dao see it yourself!" ”

Han Xuandao stepped forward slowly, took out the letter, and saw that the handwriting on it was beautiful, and at a glance he could see that it was from his daughter's family.

"Unfilial piety Lingzhi respects: seven years of kindness, unforgettable for a lifetime, this life is difficult to repay, if there is an afterlife, I am willing to become a grandfather's children, two lifetimes of kindness, one life of retribution. Lingzhi and his party from Yichun have been in love with the five masters of the Han family, and Han Lang also vowed to never live up to Lingzhi, and Lingzhi did not dare to lose. I followed Han Lang today, but I begged my grandfather to have mercy on me and fulfill this matter. Unfilial piety! ”

Han Xuandao's face became more and more gloomy, and he shouted violently: "Evil beast! ”
