Han Xuandao returned to the study room, and Mu Xin was already waiting here in the East Flower Hall. After the ceremony, Mu Xin immediately replied: "Report to Master, there is a change in Bozhou County!"

Han Xuandao looked calm and sat down on the chair. Then he asked: "Did Zhao Xiqiao have any action? It seems that he can't hold back... All we are waiting for is that he will move first, and the local army will be launched, which is to plot against rebellion and eliminate it in his own name!"

Mu Xin said: "Sir, Zhao Xiqiao has gathered nearly 20,000 troops, and is well-invested, so he can raise an army to Beijing at any time... The most important thing is that according to the information obtained by the spies, Princess Xiu is indeed in Bozhou County now!"

Han Xuandao frowned and sneered, "This woman is still alive. I have long guessed that he will hide in Bozhou County... But if she is alive, it will be a big trouble..." After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "Did you find out about her reality? Has she been seriously injured?"

"Sir, the spies have also spyed according to the prior arrangement. Princess Xiu looked nothing serious on the surface...!" Mu Xin said respectfully: "But her steps are light and weak. If she guessed correctly, she was indeed injured internally."

Han Xuandao nodded slightly and waved his hand, "I already know this. Thank you for your hard work, you can go down first!" But he had already thought about it in his heart and must not let Princess Xiu survive.

In fact, what Han Xuandao fears most now is Princess Xiu.

Although the court is under Han Xuandao's control, even the entire Yanjing City is completely controlled by Han Xuandao, so he can issue orders to various places in Da Yan with justification. In fact, a large number of Korean officials are now sent to serve important local positions. It is not a false statement to say that the Han clan has already controlled most of the country in Da Yan.

But after all, the time is very short. Although Han Xuandao controlled the capital, his foreign officials have not yet consolidated their foundation, and the local counties and counties in Yan State have not yet been fully controlled.

Han Xuandao knew very well that he could not last long by suppressing political enemies in the name of the emperor. As a result, more and more people would doubt it.

After all, the Cao family was a century-old royal family in the Great Yan Kingdom. In addition to the aristocratic families, there were many officials in the court and the country respecting orthodox and very loyal to the royal family. Once suspicion arose, a very dangerous force will inevitably form, threatening his status and power at any time. Therefore, he cannot wait, and can only use decisive means to eliminate political enemies as soon as possible and cultivate his own party members in the court and the country.

Of course, he also understood that there were many hidden dangers when taking action so quickly, but he believed that once he hesitated and took action slowly, there would be a greater threat.

Until today, he used wind and thunder to eliminate a large number of political enemies and seized the authority of the Great Yan. It can be said that he was full of energy, but he never forgot the existence of hidden worries.

The strength of the Han family has certainly eliminated a large number of political enemies, but it also created more enemies. The political enemies and remnants are now weak and afraid of the Han family's strength and dare not act rashly. However, Han Xuandao understood that if a banner figure appears to confront the Han family, the political enemies and remnants lurking in peace will immediately jump out. At that time, the Yan State will certainly fall into chaos, and the Han family will face an unprecedented crisis.

Of course this is not what Han Xuandao is willing to see.

After being suppressed by himself, the so-called banner figure may be the only one left.

Princess Xiu has been missing for a long time, and Han Xuandao sent people to visit the whereabouts, and it has been difficult to find his whereabouts. Naturally, he had long guessed that Princess Xiu was likely to appear in Bozhou County. Now it seems that his guess is not wrong.

If Princess Xiu showed her banner and led the Bozhou army to come, it would naturally be very troublesome.

Therefore, Han Xuandao has now made up his mind that no matter what, he must not let Princess Xiu continue to live. The purpose of sending people to search for Princess Xiu before was to get rid of it so as not to leave any future troubles.

...

Han Xuandao ordered Mu Xin to retreat, but Mu Xin did not retreat immediately. He bowed and said very humbly: "Sir, there is still something to report to the Lord!"

Han Xuandao frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Mu Xin hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered his voice and asked, "I dare to ask, "Do you... want to attack Princess Xiu?"

Han Xuandao looked cold and stern on his face. He glanced at Mu Xin, but Mu Xin had already kneeled down and said in panic: "My lord is forgiven, but I just want to report it. If you want to send someone to assassinate Princess Xiu, you are afraid... I am afraid of difficulties!"

Han Xuandao's face darkened and he asked, "Why do you say this?"

"My lord doesn't know that although Princess Xiu was injured, but... there is a top master beside Princess Xiu..." Mu Xin said with a tough forehead: "The eight elite officials who sent out the news to spy on the news, and in the end, only one of them returned, and... and... and after returning to the capital and reporting the news, he died of his serious injury...!"

Han Xuandao suddenly changed color and said sternly: "What you said is true?"

Mu Xin said seriously: "I dare not hide my humble position."

"Absolute master?" Han Xuandao got up from the chair, walked to the window, gently pushed open the window, looked at the deep darkness, and said for a long time: "Can you know the identity of that person?"

"That man seems to be called Huang Tongzi!" Mu Xin said: "Princess Xiu calls him... the eldest brother!"

"Senior Brother?" Han Xuandao frowned: "Boy Huang..." After pondering for a long time, he muttered to himself: "Is it the helper Cao Xiu found from Dahuang Mountain?"

Many years ago, there was a legend circulating privately. It is said that Xiao Huaiyu ran away from home when she was very young. In order to achieve her wish to protect her, she visited famous teachers. At that time, Princess Xiu was even younger, but often left the palace privately. In a certain year, the two men suddenly disappeared without a trace. Although the princess's disappearance made the palace anxious, the matter did not dare to spread, and she only sent people to search everywhere.

A few years later, Xiao Huaiyu and Princess Xiu suddenly returned. People did not know what they had experienced in the past few years, but Xiao Huaiyu's martial arts suddenly became superb in the years when they disappeared. And after returning to Beijing, they soon went to the northwest to join the army.

Princess Xiu was in the deep palace since then and rarely appeared, and no longer appeared in disguise and dressed up in various parts of the capital like she was when she was young.

However, according to rumors, the years since the two disappeared, they practiced martial arts in a place called "Great Wilderness Mountain". No one knows where the Great Wilderness Mountain is, just like an illusory place that people have never heard of.

But people are willing to believe that it is a magical place, otherwise it would be impossible for a peerless general like Xiao Huaiyu to be long ago.

Han Xuandao naturally heard of the name of "Great Wilderness Mountain", and also knew that Cao Xiu and Xiao Huaiyu had a senior brother-sister relationship. Today, he suddenly heard another so-called "Great Wilderness Mountain". Han Xuandao was the first to think of Dahuang Mountain.

"I think that being able to return to Beijing alone may not be that this person is really capable of escaping the hands of the boy Huang." Mu Xin whispered: "I'm afraid the other party deliberately left this living mouth and asked him to come back to report the news, warning us to cut off the assassination and want to give us a shock!"

Han Xuandao smiled coldly, slowly clenched his fists in his sleeves, and said lightly: "Boy Huang... Since he has come out of the mountain, he can't go back alive..."

When Mu Xin left, Han Xuandao immediately summoned Han Yin and ordered: "Contact Bu Sugan and tell him that the person he was looking for is now in Bozhou County. What he had not completed should be completed as soon as possible." After a pause, he said: "But tell him that this time there is no more master than last time. Don't underestimate the enemy. You can quickly mobilize a group of assassinators to assist Bu Sugan in Bozhou to assassinate Cao Xiu... Tell Bu Sugan that if you fail again this time... the agreement between my Fengguo and I need to talk about it again!"

Han Yin said respectfully: "Yes!"

At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the study, and a voice heard: "Master, there has been a change in the mansion!"

Han Xuandao frowned, but Han Yin had already gone out quickly and returned after a moment, with a strange look on his face. Han Xuandao asked, "What kind of trouble has happened?"

"Master..." Han Yin lowered his head and his eyes flashed: "Master Three...Master Three was rescued, and Shadow Guard was killed in the yard..."

Han Xuandao's expression changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly: "What?" He was shocked and angry at first, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Send people to search all over the city, so that all Mu Xin's East Flower Hall can be dispatched, and the people from Kyoto Prefecture can also mobilize me. Even if he digs three feet of the ground, he will find Han Xuanchang for me!"

Han Yin hurriedly said, "Yes!" He turned around and was about to go down, but Han Xuandao suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Han Yin stopped.

Han Xuandao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "There is no need to disturb the East Flower Hall and Kyoto Prefecture, just let our confidant Shadow Guard search in secret... Remember, this matter must not be made public!"

Han Yin said respectfully: "Yes!" He quickly understood in his heart. Han Xuandao did this because he was afraid that someone would know that Han Xuanchang was no longer in his hands, so he would be unable to threaten some people.

"Just say that assassins have been rampant recently, I sent someone to the Minister of Rites' Mansion to stare at Hu Xueying." Han Xuandao said coldly: "You must not let her leave the mansion for half a step... I will send more experts to stare at them and tell them that if Hu Xueying leaves, they will come to see you!"

Hu Xueying is Mrs. Han’s boudoir name.

...

A cloud suddenly appeared in the capital, and the shadow guard of the Han family quickly went out to search for Han Xuanchang's whereabouts in the capital. At this time, Han Xuanchang was already in a secret room.

Han Xuanchang was lying on the bed, his eyes were always open, but his face was expressionless and his pupils were dissipated. Han Bin sat aside, showing pain on his face.

The secret room is very simple, and the interior decoration is also very simple. Suddenly, a sound was heard, and the small door of the secret room was pushed open. A plump and beautiful woman came in from outside the door, holding a jade plate in her hand, with wine and food on it, put it on the table, turned around and closed the small door tightly, then walked to Han Bin, reached out to hold Han Bin's hand, and said softly: "It's over, don't be sad, so as not to hurt your body. Don't worry, it's very safe here, no one would have thought that Lord Han would hide here!"
