Chapter 601: The Burrow's Secret Meeting
As the envoy approached, the Ministry of Rites issued an order to order the doors of every household in Beijing to start hanging red silk, which was the first princess to marry far away since the Great Yan Kingdom, so it must be lively and lively, showing the bearing of the Great Yan Kingdom. ()
Therefore, for a while, the door of any house in Beijing was hung with red silk, and the entire Yanjing City was also decorated with red, which looked quite festive.
This time, the team of relatives reached as many as 1,000 people.
In addition to the escort team, there is also a guard of honor carefully performed by Taichang Temple, and the honor guard is as high as 100 people, which is to accompany all the way to Qingguo to the capital.
In addition, there are still members sent by the Ministry of Rites, mainly responsible for the dowry of the dowry, which is also extremely rich, mainly by Song Shiqing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and it can be regarded as the third member of the team in this peace team, in addition to Chang Dehou and Deputy Envoy Han Mo.
The matter of harmony, under the coordination and management of the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple, was finally fully prepared, and only after the emperor's majesty gave a will, the team could leave Beijing.
The emperor's will has already been clear, and the mission is scheduled for July 18, the ninth year of Pingguang in the Yan calendar, according to the records of the Yan calendar, this day is a good day for everything.
Han Mo had already gathered 500 elite soldiers in the Leopard Assault Battalion, and this time Han Mo still ordered Xiao Mu, the escort commander of the Leopard Assault Battalion Cavalry Team, to be his deputy general and follow him to Qingguo.
The three major guards of the Leopard Battalion are the leaders, the archers are the old and important Dou Shan, the infantry team is Yang Yonghui, who was voted by the generals, and the cavalry team is Xiao Mu.
If the relationship is deep, among the three major protectors, Xiao Mu and Han Mo's friendship is naturally deeper, and when they were in Yichun County, the two of them also lived and died together and passed the test.
And Xiao Mu not only has a high force value, but also is calm and calm in trouble, which is a good helper.
Han Mo left Beijing, and the affairs of the Leopard Battalion were temporarily handled by Dou Shan of the Archers.
……
On the eve of leaving Beijing, the Han Mansion naturally had to get together for dinner, and Han Xuanchang naturally had to ask some things at the dinner table, Han Mo also knew that this trip was not easy, and the relatives at home must be very worried, so they just said some light work, and tried to make the somewhat gloomy atmosphere more lively.
Xiao Qian sat beside Han Mo, without saying a word, and her expression was also a little gloomy, Han Mo knew that Xiao Qian must be worried in her heart, and gently held her hand under the table, so that she should not worry too much.
Only halfway through the meal, someone came to report, saying that someone from the palace came to see Han Mo.
Han Mo thought it was summoned by the emperor, and hurriedly came out, but saw that it was a eunuch in the palace who came to summon him, Han Mo was also familiar, and knew that this eunuch seemed to be surnamed Liang, but today this Liang Gonggong did not wear a green python suit, but just wore a gray-brown brocade robe, and when he saw Han Mo, he immediately came forward and said respectfully: "Little Lord Han, there is a summoning in the palace!" ”
Han Mo arched his hand, and was about to speak, when Gonggong Liang had already said in a low voice: "Lord Xiaohan, there is a word in the palace, let you change your clothes when you enter the palace!" ”
"Change your clothes?" Han Moqi said, stunned for a moment, but still smiled: "That father-in-law later, I'll go and change my clothes!" ”
Gonggong Liang shook his head and said, "No, Lord Xiao Han, the miscellaneous family has already brought clothes out of the palace, you can change it and enter the palace with the miscellaneous family!" He picked up a cloth package from the side and put his hands in front of Han Mo.
Han Mo frowned and asked softly, "Gonggong Liang, is it...... Holy calling? ”
Liang Gonggong smiled and said: "The master has explained, when Lord Xiao Han enters the palace, everything will be understood." ”
Liang's father-in-law was mysterious, which made Han Mo even more puzzled, and he faintly felt that tonight's matter was not simple, so he hesitated slightly, nodded, and said, "Father-in-law later!" ”
When he turned into the hall, he changed into a suit and came out, but it was a dark gray robe, like the costume of a servant.
Coming out from behind, Han Mo said with a smile: "Father-in-law, this ...... I really don't understand! ”
Gonggong Liang leaned over and lowered his voice: "Don't hide it from Lord Xiao Han, when you enter the palace tonight, the master doesn't want others to know!" ”
Han Mo bowed slightly, but he also guessed a few points, such an outfit was obviously trying to hide something.
The night was dark, Han Mo followed Liang's father-in-law out of the house, not from the main gate, but through the side door, and in the alley outside the door, there was a very simple black carriage.
Liang's father-in-law invited Han Mo to get on the car, and the two sat in the carriage together, and the carriage walked forward.
Things were a little strange tonight, Father-in-law Liang came here, except for the horseman who was driving the car in front, he didn't bring his entourage over, which made Han Mo feel vigilant in his heart.
Since the summons in the palace, Han Mo, as a courtier, naturally can't go away, but he naturally has a sense of vigilance in his heart, so he is ready to be prepared just in case, and he is quite close to Liang's father-in-law, that is, he is ready to take control of Liang's father-in-law first once there is a change.
The carriage walked on the streets of Yanjing at night, very inconspicuous, and gradually except for Dongcheng, it actually went to the north.
Han Mo had already sensed that something was wrong in the direction, looked at Father-in-law Liang coldly, and said lightly: "Isn't Father-in-law going to take me into the palace?" This road...... It doesn't seem to be going to the palace, right? ”
Gonggong Liang's expression was calm, and he smiled: "Lord Xiao Han don't be impatient, everything is explained by the master!" ”
Han Mo's eyes showed a cold glow, and he sneered: "Gonggong Liang, this official is an official of the imperial court, you came here under the pretext of summoning me into the palace, are you going to expire your official term?" ”
Liang Gonggong said in a low voice: "If Lord Xiao Han doesn't believe in the miscellaneous family, he can take the life of the miscellaneous family now." Things are extraordinary, they are all explained by the master, and the miscellaneous family can only do things according to the master's wishes! ”
Han Mo stared at Liang Gonggong, and saw that Liang Gonggong's eyes were sincere, there was no fraud, and there was no malice, but he had some doubts in his heart.
The carriage crossed several streets, turned into a dim and silent alley, and then turned into a small courtyard before stopping.
Father-in-law Liang lifted the curtain and looked out, and then said respectfully to Han Mo: "Little Han, it's here!" ”
Han Mo got out of the car behind Gonggong Liang, only to see that it was very dim in all directions, this was a very small courtyard, like an ordinary private house, and the two houses that were not too big seemed very quiet.
"What is this place?" Han Mo frowned and asked.
Father-in-law Liang smiled slightly, walked to a room, stretched out his hand and patted it gently, the wooden door was opened, and Father-in-law Liang had already turned back to Han Mo and said, "Little Lord Han, please come in, the master is waiting inside!" ”
Han Mo was still on guard, glanced at Liang's father-in-law suspiciously, and entered the house with great caution.
The house was very simple, only a very old wooden table, there were two chairs beside the table, and there was an oil lamp on the table, and the light of the oil lamp was also very dim, and the air was filled with a very shabby smell, and it was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.
There was an extremely graceful figure standing on the side of the table, wearing a black cloak and a hat, Han Mo was curious, the person had already turned around, under the light was a very delicate face, with a little smile, although the lights were dim, but the beauty was extremely dazzling, who was not the princess?
When Han Mo saw Princess Xiu, he breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and said, "See the princess!" ”
Princess Xiu smiled charmingly and waved her hand, and Gonggong Liang respectfully stepped back and took the wooden door with him, and Princess Xiu laughed softly: "Didn't you think that the palace would summon you here to see you?" ”
Han Mo was naturally strange in his heart, but he also understood that since Princess Xiu met in this remote place, it was definitely not for a tryst, and there must be something extremely important.
With the identity and ability of Princess Xiu, but to meet in such a secret, today's matter must be extremely important.
"Does the princess have anything to command?" Han Mo pondered for a moment before asking softly.
Princess Xiu smiled charmingly, the country was already beautiful, such a smile was even more bright, she sat down on a chair, her sitting posture was very beautiful, stared at Han Mo and asked: "The mission will leave Beijing tomorrow, are you sure that Princess Shuang will be sent to Qingguo?" ”
Han Mo frowned, looked left and right, Princess Xiu had already said: "Speaking here, no third person will hear it, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
Only then did Han Mo say, "Does the princess remember what she said that night?" ”
"What?"
"The princess said that if I want to save Princess Frost, I must go to Qingguo." Han Mo stared at Princess Xiu and said softly, "The princess didn't say it clearly at that time, so I want to ask, is there any way for the princess to save the little princess?" ”
Princess Xiu stared at Han Mo, on that beautiful face, the smile gradually disappeared, and a pair of beautiful eyes showed a grim color, at this moment, she turned from a charming woman to a cold and majestic princess, and asked calmly: "Han Mo, do you really want to destroy this harmony?" ”
Han Mo frowned and said lightly, "The minister doesn't understand what the princess means!" ”
Princess Xiu smiled coldly: "From the very beginning, your mind is uncertain, the emperor's brother ordered you to be in charge of the security affairs of the mission, but you have other intentions, do you know, if the emperor's brother knows that your will is not strong, then you have been punished!" ”
Han Mo just smiled coldly and didn't speak.
Princess Xiu shook her head, sighed quietly, and finally said, "If there is really a way to save that little girl, are you willing to do it?" ”
Han Mo couldn't figure out what this woman was thinking for a while, and just looked at her suspiciously.
Seeing that Han Mo didn't answer, Princess Xiu snorted coldly and asked again: "Han Mo, this palace asks you again, if there is a chance to rescue that little girl, do you have the courage to do it?" ”
Han Mo slowly walked to Princess Xiu's side, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "The princess seems to have forgotten, Han Mo has nothing else, some are courageous, otherwise...... How dare you do anything to the princess in the first place! ”
When Princess Xiu heard this, she couldn't help glaring at him fiercely, her pretty face softened, her beautiful eyes were full of anticipation, and her red lips opened lightly: "In this way, you are really bold." After a pause, he said softly: "Then this palace wants you to see someone, do you have the courage to see it?" ”
Han Mo was stunned, but he also understood that Princess Xiu would not ask this sentence for no reason, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "Who are you seeing?" ”
Princess Xiu looked at Han Mo who was close to her, and said word by word: "This palace wants to remind you first, whether you want to see it or not, you can choose, if you don't want to see it, you can leave now, everything will be treated as if nothing happened, and this palace will never blame you." But once you've seen it, you'll get caught up in it, and you won't be able to run! ”
