Chapter 289 [Hug]
Han Mo received the imperial edict in the camp and was really surprised to learn that he had been promoted to the captain of the cavalry guards. He really didn't expect that the emperor would really hand over this important position to him, and the appointment was so fast.
When he knew that he was going to serve as a grain protection officer, he understood why the order to enthrone was so fast.
However, Jade Qinglun seemed to have known that this would be the result. After the imperial edict was issued, he immediately informed the entire battalion of Han Mo's appointment as the guard of the cavalry team. He even personally brought Han Mo to the cavalry farm and gathered nearly a thousand cavalry in a formation. The horses whistled and the flags blew, and the flags were overturned in the air, and the solemn atmosphere of golden swords and iron horses.
Han Mo was still quite excited. The brave and warlike elite Yan State knights in front of him had become his subordinates. It would be a lie to say whether he was excited or not.
But he understood even more that he was able to get promoted to this position not by his own military achievements. Even by defeating Shi Lianyun, his prestige in the hearts of the soldiers was far from qualified to become a cavalry guard.
To put it in the scene, this is the emperor's gift.
If you really want these powerful cavalrymen to recognize themselves from the bottom of their hearts, you still have a lot to do.
Riding on the horse and following behind Jen Qinglun, the right cavalry guard Xiao Mu and five or six lieutenants followed him, and the group was reviewing the cavalry team lined with Jinge.
"These are all the best cavalry in my Yan State." Jade Qinglun turned his face and looked at Han Mo with a tired look on his face, but he was determined to force himself and said: "If you are a tiger, they will become tigers. If you are just a sheep, then sooner or later they will become little sheep who does not know what courage is!"
"I understand!" Han Mo said seriously: "I will do my best to make the cavalry of the Leopard Camp really become fierce cheetahs!"
Jean Qinglun nodded: "If you have this ambition, you should know how to do it." He stopped the horse, raised the whip, pointed to the leopard-headed flag flying in the wind, and slowly said: "The Lord and the Lord ordered our leopard-turtle camp to take on the position of protecting food this time. That is Long's favor, and I trust that my leopard-turtle camp will be able to complete this mission, so... Han Mo, I will hand over the leopard-turtle camp to you, and you will take them to complete the priest-turtle camp..."
"I tried my best to protect my food at the cost of my life!" Han Mo said solemnly.
This time, the grain protection team was to take away two thousand people. Han Mo selected 600 cavalry, 300 archers and 1,100 infantry to form a grain protection army to transport grain to Yichun County.
In addition to Han Mo as the grain protection officer, Han Mo personally ordered Xiao Mu of the cavalry team, Xue Shao of the archery team and Miao Wu of the infantry team to go to Yichun County together.
Han Mo only chose these people after investigation. They were all generals of the Imperial Guard and had no entanglement with the aristocratic family, so these people should not have too much trouble when they are with them.
The Ministry of Revenue has recruited coachmen and first transferred 40% of the military rations from the Ministry of Revenue's granary as disaster relief grain. 40% of the military rations are not a small amount. Nearly 400 trucks need to be transported. Horses must be transferred from the Taipu Temple Horse Farm for grain transportation.
The trainer's laborer had more than a thousand people, and the entire team was extremely large. When the Ministry of Revenue issued an order to raise grain from various counties, the military ration began to be shipped one by one.
Collecting horse carriages, dispatching horses, and loading food is naturally not something that can be accomplished in one day. It will take two days to use the fastest speed. However, Xiao Huaijin from the Ministry of Works immediately took a group of Ministry of Works officials to Yichun County after a hurry. Relief from disasters is like putting out fires, which is undespairable.
Although it was a disaster, for the aristocratic families, they were able to make contributions to this disaster. Looking back, they naturally had bargaining chips in the court to seek official positions and power.
Although Xiao Huaijin knew nothing about water conservancy, fortunately, the Ministry of Works is somewhat capable, so he can use it at this time.
...
In the Minister of Rites' Mansion, Han Xuanchang and Mrs. Han were both sitting in the main hall, even Han Qin was standing beside her, and the maids and servants were standing quietly on both sides, and the hall was silent.
Everyone could see that Han Xuanchang and Mrs. Han had bad faces, so no one dared to speak.
"Master, madam, the fifth young master is back!" The screams of the servants came from outside the hall.
Han Xuanchang brows and was about to get up, but he saw that Mrs. Han had already stood up and went out to meet her. He could only sigh and shake her head.
Han Mo was dressed in military uniform and was heroic. He quickly walked into the hall. When he saw Mrs. Han, he immediately grinned and said, "Mom!"
Mrs. Han naturally knew that Han Mo was going to the chaotic Yichun County as a grain protection officer this time. She was not an ordinary woman. She lived in aristocratic family since she was a child. Of course, she understood the dangers. Looking at Han Mo's sunny smile, somehow, she felt even more sad. She reached out to help Han Mo sort out the armor, and her eyes turned red. She turned around and said to Han Xuanchang: "Master, can't you change?"
"Nothing." Han Xuanchang whispered: "After all the orders are issued, how can we change it?"
Mrs. Han sighed lightly, stroked Han Mo's face, and said softly: "Mo'er, you go to Yichun this time, and you must take good care of yourself. Mom... Mom is waiting for you to come back at home."
Han Mo said softly: "Mom, I know, don't worry, you just protect the food, you will come back soon." He took out something from his arms and put it in Mrs. Han's hand, and said: "Mom, these are the glasses I promised to give you!"
Mrs. Han was stunned and looked at the strange things in her hand. Then she remembered that it was something that Han Mo promised to make for her when she was in Donghai County.
With the Nanyang material, Han Mo also spent some time making it.
Mrs. Han looked at the glasses in her hand and felt even more sad.
Han Mo walked to Han Qin with a smile and asked, "Little sister, have you written it?"
Han Qin knew that he was asking if he was still writing ghost stories, nodded and asked softly: "Brother, when will you be back?"
"I'll be back after finishing my work." Han Mo said with a smile: "When I come back, I'll bring you some good things."
Han Xuanchang looked quite sad, stood up and said, "Mo'er, come with me!" Without saying much, he carried his hands on his back and left the main hall, and stood under the big tree in the courtyard.
Han Mo gently patted Han Qin on the shoulder, then went out, stood behind Han Xuanchang, and said respectfully: "Dad, what else do you have to give?"
Han Xuanchang turned around, looked at Han Mo for a while, and then whispered: "This time I go to Yichun County, I will be more careful. Although I should not be harmful to others, I should be careful. Don't trust anyone easily and do your own job well..."
Han Mo nodded and said, "Children know, don't worry too much."
"This grain protection officer is a sensitive position. He must not only be worthy of the people, but also not offend officials from all sides. Now Yichun County is mixed with fish and dragons. Maybe the spies from Qing and Wei will provoke trouble there, so... be careful in everything, just as your grandfather said to you, look at things more, talk less, and don't worry about unreasonable things."
Han Mo looked at Han Xuanchang with concern in his expression. He knew that these instructions sounded long-lasting, but in fact it was Han Xuanchang's reaction. He was moved and smiled and said, "Child is following the teachings of his father!"
Han Xuanchang pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything else. He suddenly made an action that surprised Han Mo. He came up and hugged Han Mo gently, patted Han Mo's back, and said softly: "When you were born, your grandfather saw your golden finger and said that you were the stars in the sky descending to earth, so... you will be fine. Son, don't be afraid when you get there!"
Han Mo only felt that when Han Xuanchang was hugged, he felt a warm feeling from his body to his heart.
...
Of course, Han Mo did not forget to see Aunt Bi. Aunt Bi's expression became even more haggard, and her once tender skin had lost its luster and looked pale.
Although he took countless supplements, it had no effect on Bi Niang's illness. Han Qing never brought back the black viper king gall and star anise zhi needed. Even Han Qing and Zhu Xiaoyan had no news. I wonder what the situation was like now.
Han Mo discussed this disease with Xu Zhugong in the flower hall. According to Xu Zhugong, there is no cure for this disease except those two medicines. Xu Zhugong gave Han Mo two rare precious pills, which could delay the condition of Aunt Bi, but it could not cure the root cause.
According to the current condition of Bi Niang, at most one month, if Han Qing cannot bring back two rare medicinal herbs, then Bi Niang will definitely die.
Aunt Bi seemed to be asleep. Although her pretty face was pale, she was still as beautiful as a lily in her deep sleep.
Han Mo stared at the sleeping Aunt Bi, but felt a little sad. He couldn't be sure whether Han Qing could really bring back the two medicinal herbs that Nanfeng people regarded as treasures. If he really couldn't bring them back, would this beautiful woman really leave this world?
Han Mo felt a little sad.
Aunt Bi seemed to feel the breath of Han Mo by the window, and opened her eyes slightly. Seeing Han Mo standing quietly by the bed, she was startled at first, but she instantly returned to calm and showed a smile, "Mo'er, why are you... you here?"
"I'm leaving Beijing." Han Mo said softly: "I'm leaving for a while, so come and see my aunt and say goodbye to her!"
Aunt Bi was obviously a little surprised and struggled to do it, but his body was extremely weak. Han Mo hurried over and sat up with Aunt Bi's jade arm.
"When will you leave?" Aunt Bi stared at Han Mo and asked softly.
"At the latest early morning!" Han Mo replied.
Aunt Bi nodded slightly, thinking, with a complex light shining in her eyes, and finally she forced a smile: "Then you have to be careful in everything, outside...you should know how to take care of yourself!"
Han Mo nodded and said, "I know."
Aunt Bi pondered, and for a moment, the room was extremely quiet.
She is a crystal-like person, and she knows her condition better than anyone else. She knows in her heart that after this parting, she doesn't know if she can meet again in this life.
The most heartbreaking thing is separation, but the most heartbreaking thing is separation from life and death.
After a silence, Han Mo finally said: "Han Qing has already heard news that he has found the medicinal materials and will come back soon... Auntie, you don't have to worry about this disease, the medicinal materials can be cured when they come back!"
He must tell a kind lie.
He wants this woman to have a glimmer of hope, hope can always create miracles, and a lie brings hope, which is a lie of kindness, which Han Mo can do at present.
Aunt Bi smiled sweetly, and she looked so good, and said softly: "Okay, I won't have anything to do, you... don't worry."
"You have a good rest." Han Mo smiled like spring breeze: "I'll leave first."
Aunt Bi nodded slightly, and Han Mo turned around and wanted to leave, but he felt endless reluctance in his heart.
"Mo'er!" Aunt Bi's soft cry came from behind.
Han Mo stopped, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and turned around with a smile: "Auntie, is there anything else?"
"You...!" Aunt Bi stared at Han Mo with watery eyes. After a while, she spit out a few words: "Take good care of Qin'er!"
"In addition to Qin'er, I also have to take good care of you." Han Mo couldn't help but say: "I will be back soon... Wait until I come back."
Aunt Bi's delicate body trembled slightly, she pondered slightly before nodding gently and said, "Yes!"
"I'm back, my aunt remember to cook porridge for me..." Han Mo laughed: "My aunt's porridge is delicious in the world!"
