Chapter 1040 After the small gathering, it's parting again!
Liu Rumeng seemed very embarrassed when she heard Han Mo's words, and her expression suddenly became gloomy and bit her red lips slightly. After a long time, she whispered: "Fifth Young Master... I shouldn't have made you embarrassed, but... But it's related to the lives of countless warriors in my Feng Kingdom. I can't watch them go to death, nor can I sit back on the wind country and ignore the war... We are a small country in the southern border and cannot withstand such a big war..." Her voice trembled, and a hint of pleading appeared in her eyes: "As long as you can find a way to get Yan State to terminate the agreement with Tuo Hu Feng and no longer support Tuo Hu Feng's military operations, I... I can pay any price!"
Han Mo's face darkened and a little ugly. He stared at Liu Rumeng's eyes and said lightly: "Sister Rumeng, are you talking about business with me? When did you think we will become such a relationship? Do you think that if I want to help you, you need to pay anything?"
Liu Rumeng shook her head, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I just...I just really have no way to do it..."
Seeing that his high priest had asked Han Mo for the sake of the people of Feng Kingdom, Hei Mudi was both moved but also uncomfortable. He took two steps forward and said in a deep voice: "High priest, before coming, I persuaded you that he is also a member of the Han family, and he also wants to use our Feng Kingdom army to deal with Wei Qing and the two countries. We will never be convinced by you. We don't have to continue to talk to him here. Hei Mudi is willing to protect the high priest and return to Feng Kingdom, gather people, take advantage of the emptiness of the Shenshan City, and kill into the Shenshan City in one fell swoop, catch the fake priest, and embrace you back to the altar...!"
"If you can win, you don't have to wait until now." Han Mo said coldly: "If you, Kuromudi, were really confident that you could attack Shenshan City, you wouldn't have brought Sister Ru Meng to come here to find me."
Kuromudi showed anger, and Liu Rumeng couldn't help but say, "Kuromidi, don't talk."
Kuromudi was very unwilling to accept it, but what Han Mo said was just right at his weakness, so he could only snort coldly.
"Sister Ru Meng, you can come to the East China Sea to find me, so naturally you already know why I returned to the East China Sea." Han Mo said slowly: "Outsiders think I am going back to my hometown to visit relatives, but with your wisdom, they naturally know that this is not the real situation. To be honest, I was frustrated in Shannan County. The court summoned me back to Beijing, and in fact, I have lifted the real power of my Northwest General... Now that I have a position but no power, the political affairs of Yan State are no longer in charge. It is almost impossible to convince my uncle to contact the agreement with Tuo Hu Feng." After a pause, he slowly said slowly: "Don't worry, the battlefield situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and wait for a while to see if the situation has changed. As far as I know, after your Feng Kingdom army repels the Shannan Army, it is now only stationed in Shannan County and has not continued to advance...!"
Liu Rumeng shook her head and said, "This is just a temporary rest. The villages in Fengguo are still gathering forces and transporting food and grass. They are preparing to continue to advance!"
Han Mo thought about it, but didn't say anything for a moment.
Han Mo did not want to be mixed with such a military and national affairs because of his children's personal affair. Judging from the national interests of Yan State, it would not be a bad thing if Fengguo sent troops to help in the future duel with Qing State.
"I can't give you a positive answer." Han Mo sighed: "But I will compile the book to Beijing as soon as possible and persuade my uncle to consider more about this matter. As for how he and the court will make a decision, I... can't really guarantee it."
Liu Rumeng also knew that Han Mo was a little embarrassed and nodded slightly and said, "Thank you!"
Han Mo said again: "Sister Ru Meng, now that Fengguo is in turmoil, you stay here in the East China Sea. I will make good arrangements to protect your safety. After the limelight comes, I will send someone to escort you back to Fengguo... It's true or false, the fake sacrificial identity will be exposed sooner or later, and you will eventually return to the altar...!"
"Thank you for your kindness!" Before Liu Rumeng could speak, Heimudi said: "The East China Sea is full of your Han family's eyeliners. If you are known to other people of your tribe, the high priest will not be able to leave." He bowed to Liu Rumeng and said: "High priest, let's leave here as soon as possible, this place is not a place for long-term stay!"
Han Mo frowned, but thought of something and said softly: "Sister Rumeng, if you don't want to stay in the East China Sea, would you like to go to the South China Sea with me? I will go to the South China Sea soon. You can pretend to go with me. When you arrive in the South China Sea, there will be no more danger."
Liu Rumeng shook her head and said, "I want to go back to Fengguo."
Han Mo frowned and said, "Go back? There are now crises everywhere. You are rescued from Tingfeng Valley. When Busugan and Tuohu Feng get news, they will definitely send people to chase each other. How can you... go back?"
"I will do my best to save it." Liu Rumeng said solemnly: "I am the high priest of Feng Kingdom. I bear the mission given by the snake god. Even if I am torn to pieces, I must expose Tuo Hu Feng's conspiracy. I must not let my Feng Kingdom be involved in this war."
"Your identity cannot be proven. Even if you go back, you will not be trusted by anyone, and it is even more impossible to change the current situation." Han Mo said worriedly: "Sister Ru Meng, just listen to my advice and follow me to Nanyang for the time being. As long as the world situation changes, I will definitely help you return to the altar. I, Han Mo, keep my promise and will never break my promise!"
Liu Rumeng's eyes showed a little touched, and she said softly: "I know you will not break your trust in me, and I know you are for my own good, but... like you, I also have my own responsibilities... Regardless of whether you can persuade Mr. Xuan to terminate the agreement, Rumeng is grateful to you in her heart." After a pause, she stretched out a white jade hand, gently stroked Han Mo's face, and said softly: "I...I am very happy to see you again..." Her face was full of tenderness, and she finally withdrew her hand and said to Kuromudi: "Let's go..."
She seemed afraid that continuing to stay would change her mind, so she walked quickly, but when she walked to the door, her footwork slowed down and seemed to turn around, but in the end she held back and said softly: "Fifth Master, you... take care of yourself..."
Han Mo came back to his senses and said anxiously: "Sister Rumeng, wait!" He quickly went over, carried the phoenix-tail zither, walked over quickly, and sighed: "I'll leave today, I don't know when I will see you again... you... take it with me and leave me for a thought..."
Liu Rumeng slowly turned around, and crystal tears had already rolled down her tender cheeks, hugging Fengweiqin, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything after all.
Han Mo took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and handed them to Kuroki, "It always takes money to do things, you can take it first..."
Kuroki thought for a while, finally took the silver note and said lightly: "As long as I am still alive, I will definitely pay you what I owe you!"
Han Mo didn't say much, but just endured the sadness and said, "You are here... take care of yourself. If the situation changes, I... will definitely go looking for you..."
Sitting in the dim hut, there was a lot of people around, Liu Rumeng and Hei Mudi had already left here without a trace, but Han Mo sat alone on the chair in the room, closing his eyes. Until the dawn shone into the room, he slowly got up, walked to the window, and looked at the back garden with flowers in the morning light, a fresh air came to his nose. After a long time, he murmured to himself: "Sister Rumeng, take care of everything!"
...
...
Yanjing City, the Minister of Revenue.
Han Xuandao was wearing a light gray shirt and sat under the grape trellis in the back garden of the Minister of Revenue's Mansion, while Han Xince, the Minister of Personnel, was wearing an official uniform, standing respectfully in front of Han Xuandao, extremely humble.
"The transfer order from the Ministry of Personnel was sent to Bozhou, and all the officials sent from Beijing have been driven back now." Han Xince said calmly: "Zhao Xiqiao ignored the transfer of the Ministry of Personnel, and his intentions were different!"
Han Xuandao said lightly: "What was expected is just to try his attitude."
"Duke Xuan Dao, Zhao Xiqiao refused to obey the order and his crimes were unforgivable. Should I ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict in the name of the cabinet to order Zhao Xiqiao to enter the capital to apologize?" Han Xince's eyes showed coldness.
Now the power of the Han family is unparalleled. Regardless of the court and country, Han Xuandao's meaning is almost equivalent to an imperial edict. During this period, Han Xince, as the Minister of Personnel, followed Han Xuandao's instructions, not only made large-scale adjustments to the Beijing officials, but also carried out large-scale mobilizations to local counties. Now the Han sect officials have spread to all corners of the Yan State, one has grown and the other has disappeared, and other sects have been further severely suppressed.
The counties of Yichun where the Fan family is located and the Linyang County where the Hu family is located are all mobilized and infiltrated by Han officials. Moreover, many officials have already occupied important positions in the local area. Although the Fan and Hu families hate it to the core, the situation is stronger than others. The two major families can only be silenced and swallow their anger.
As for the Xiao family, although Xiao Wanchang, the last pillar of the Ministry of Justice, was still the Minister of Justice, under the suppression of Han Xuandao, the Ministry of Justice has now become a real nameless yamen. The power of the Ministry of Justice has been divided by Dali Temple and Yanjing Prefecture. Not only that, even the Ministry of Justice has lost its real power, there are still Han officials infiltrated in this Ministry of Justice, monitoring Xiao Wanchang's every move at all times.
Xiao Wanchang was very low-key from beginning to end. The Xiao family's orders are now extremely weak. Looking at the court, there are very few officials in the Xiao faction. He can only endure it like a walking corpse every day. He even suffered ridicule and teasing from the Korean faction officials on weekdays, but he did not say a word and acted as a lie in the firewood and tasted gall.
But Xiao Wanchang knew better than anyone else. The story of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall has been passed down from the Warring States Period to the present. How could Han Xuandao not know such a person? Although it seems that Han Xuandao has reduced the suppression of the Xiao family, this is not just Han Xuandao pretended to be a pretender and gave the Xiao family room to make mistakes. In fact, those pair of sinister eyes have never left the Xiao family. Xiao Wanchang believed that as long as he made a slight mistake, Han Xuandao would immediately catch it and give the Xiao family the final fatal blow.
Looking at the entire Dongyan, since Bai Yi's party was eliminated, only Zhao Xiqiao from Bozhou was able to make his last fight with Han Xuandao.
And Zhao Xiqiao was indeed a thorn in Han Xuandao's heart.
"Since he dared to disobey the Ministry of Personnel's transfer order, there was nothing that could restrain him. It was even more impossible to let him go to Beijing." Han Xuan said lightly.
