Han Mo frowned slightly. Jin Lanhua and the guy holding a copper plate were immediately frightened when he saw that his young master actually whipped his face.

Fortunately, Jinlanhua is the owner of Liufang Pavilion. She is usually attracted to see her off. She is also a veteran in the Fengyue Field. Her best attitude is to observe her words and expressions. At this time, she knew very well that she should not continue to stay here. She turned around and winked at the friend behind her, took the friend and left in a hurry, and even closed the door.

Han Mo sighed, pondered for a moment, and returned to his seat to sit down.

Lu Zongxuan's face turned solemn, no longer had the previous smile, walked to Han Mo, and lowered his voice: "My Lord Han, I, Lu Zongxuan, I, don't hide it from you. The matter tonight was my father's order, and the purpose is very simple. My father doesn't want our Lu family to be involved in your Han family. Since you have kindness, we need to repay this kindness as soon as possible. We cannot have grudges to involve the relationship between the two families!"

Han Mo smiled, "Young Master Lu, you should have been like this for a long time. If you say this, I not only don't mind it, but I think you are real. This is what you say to the heart."

"May Lord Xiao Han laugh!" Lu Zongxuan sighed and sat down beside him: "Sir, you should know that the yamen where my father is located is unusual. It seems that no one will pay attention to the small yamen where the door is guarding the door, but we know how many eyes are staring at this yamen, and how many people want to replace it." Speaking of this, Lu Zongxuan bowed up and said: "The Lord Long'er has great trust in his father, and he is even more favored by Long'er. Let his father stay in this position for six years without moving. Our Lu family is naturally loyal to the Lord and dare not be careless at all."

Han Mo nodded slightly. What Lu Zongxuan said at this time was the truth.

Lu Zongxuan looked at Han Mo and lowered his voice, "Actually, Lord Han also knew that the emperor's eyes were always on his father. His father has been widowed over the years, but he just guarded the small yamen, and was cautious and careful to serve the country, and rarely contacted other officials... If the emperor knew that his father had too many interactions in Beijing, this was not a good thing for our Lu family." Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly: "Lord Han, my Lu family has offended many people over the years. If we came down from this position, our Lu family would be afraid..." He did not continue, but just smiled bitterly and shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

"It's hard to get rid of a tiger!" Han Mo said four words gently.

Lu Zongxuan nodded and said, "That's right." He said, "I received a post from Mrs. Gui two days ago and invited Zong Xuan and his wife to the house for a banquet. To be honest, I have a good relationship with Yao Jing and the others. Everyone gathered in the house for a banquet. That was something I couldn't ask for. I was even more happy. But... I couldn't help myself, and in order not to let people gossip, Zong Xuan could only ask for it. Even tonight, I would only dare to invite Lord Xiao Han to meet here, and I didn't want others to know. Even Yao Jing and Brother Yao and the others were hiding it. Now I feel ashamed!"

Han Mo shook his head and smiled, "I don't agree with Mr. Lu's words. In fact, Han Mo has always believed that showing off his courage and showing off his sword in three steps. Although he showed his might in his heart, if the overall situation is damaged, then the courage of his husband can only be considered stupid. I have always believed that sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, enduring what others cannot bear, is a true hero. In fact, Han Mo admires the Lord of the Lord Lu in his heart!"

Lu Zongxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xiao Han was joking."

Han Mo stared at Lu Zongxuan and smiled faintly, "Young Master Lu invited me to this point, just to thank me. But Han Mo said at the beginning that my intention was not to help anyone, but I was just willing to do this, just to do it according to my own temperament." He paused and continued, "So you don't have to think too much, let alone be grateful to me."

Lu Zongxuan seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.

Han Mo stood up and smiled and said, "I'm tired today. Mr. Lu is afraid that there will be many things left, so I won't disturb you!" Without saying much, he left the house.

Lu Zongxuan looked at Han Mo's back as he left, thoughtful, and finally shook his head slightly.

...

...

The fights on the banks of the Liujing River naturally became a topic of private discussion in the past few days.

Han Mo thought that he was making trouble on the banks of the Liujing River like this. If Han Xuanchang knew about it, he would definitely scold him. However, Han Xuanchang finally said "nonsense" and did not scold him too much.

What the most concerned about in the North Korean government is the reaction of Qingguo after all.

Ten days later, the Qing State finally sent another team of envoys over, and what they brought was naturally the Qing State's attitude towards the marriage proposal.

As most people expected, the people of Qing were very happy with the sincerity expressed by Yan State, and they quickly responded positively to the capital.

The alliance with Yan State was in line with the interests of Qing State, and Yan State took the initiative to show great sincerity, which left the Hou Party in the capital city no longer had the reason to openly oppose the alliance between the two countries.

Although the Later Party still intervened in the marriage affairs, Qing State finally offered extremely generous conditions to respond to the sincerity of the Yan people. The second batch of Qing State envoys brought Qing State's letters, which naturally list in detail the sincerity that Qing State was willing to show.

Many years ago, the two sides actually formed an alliance, so this alliance is not an unfamiliar matter for the two countries.

The Yan State, headed by Han Xuandao of the Ministry of Revenue, began consultations with the Qing State delegation represented by Prince Xihe.

These two characters are both firm supporters of Yan Qing's alliance, so although the two sides are still in conflict with certain details, the entire consultation process was extremely smooth with the reconciliation of the two main officials in charge of the consultation.

After only five days of consultation, an agreement was finally reached. Qing State gave Yan State 50,000 taels of gold, one million taels of silver, and two hundred thousand pieces of silk. In addition, eight large copper mines near Wu County were handed over to Yan State for mining, with a period of ten years, and there were some other conditions. In general, under the auspices of Shang Zhongli, Qing State also gave Yan State a good deal. Compared with the alliance many years ago, Qing State brought a lot more things this time.

What Yan State wants to do is to send Princess Shuang of Yan to Qing State as soon as possible and marry the prince of Qing State. Moreover, Qing State has promised that after the marriage, she will immediately enthrone Princess Shuang as the princess of Qing State.

The ultimate goal of the two sides' alliance is naturally to ensure peace behind Qing State, and Yan State promises not to have any military alliance with Wei State. During the war, Yan State must also ensure that it does not have any political contact with Wei State.

In addition, the Qing State also required that once the Nanyang County of Qing State was captured by the Wei soldiers, it was necessary for the Yan State to mobilize troops to set up a line in the Nanyang County of Qing State and the Linyang County of Yan State to effectively restrain the Wei State.

The Yan State was naturally unwilling to send troops, and the constraining proposals initially had differences. Later, the two sides coordinated together, and the Qing State added two silver mines to be mined by Yan State, and finally reached a final alliance agreement.

On the eighth day of the seventh month of the ninth year of Pingguang in the Yanli period, the two sides formally submitted letters of state in the Honglu Temple and officially announced that Yan Qing had formed an alliance.

The news spread all over the world. Apart from those who wanted to make a fortune in the war, the entire Yan State was still extremely satisfied with this result. At least for the people, there was no need to directly participate in this war, which was a blessing.

So the people began to discuss again that in order to avoid war, the emperor would rather betroth His Royal Highness the Princess to the Prince of Qing Kingdom. This is really a generous and kind king.

This is different from what many people think.

Yan State had the initiative, but the emperor sent the princess to marry him. In the eyes of many people, they thought it was a cowardly decision, but the news spread among the people was mostly praising the emperor's wisdom. Such a result was probably something that many people did not expect.

After the Qing State Mission submitted its letter of state, it returned to Shangjing under the leadership of Prince Xihe, but it was left behind Yun Canglan, deputy envoy of Qing State and ten tiger brave men.

According to the Qing State's intention, Yun Canglan and these ten tiger brave men will accompany the Yan State's bride-sending mission to protect Princess Shuang of Yan State to Qing State. Naturally, Yan State's proposal did not refuse.

In fact, Yun Canglan's stay also shows that the Qing State hopes that Yan State will not delay the marriage and send a marriage delegation to Qing State as soon as possible. Princess Shuang arrives at Shangjing one day, and the alliance between the two sides will be truly implemented.

His Majesty the Emperor also issued an order, asking the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites to jointly prepare for the mission. Yan State is a great country, and this time it is to send a princess marriage, so naturally it is a show of the scene.

Moreover, twenty eunuchs and twenty palace maids have been selected in the palace. These forty people were all personal servants of Princess Shuang and were married to Qingguo together. In other words, these forty people were the direct people of Princess Shuang in Qingguo in the future.

Han Mo naturally knew very well that the court was in charge of the mission of the marriage delegation.

Since meeting Princess Xiu on that rainy night, the two of them have not seen each other again, but Han Mo remembered Princess Xiu’s strange words that day. He always felt that Princess Xiu seemed to have some plans, but he did not explain it clearly.

Now that Princess Shuang is about to go abroad, Han Mo is even more depressed.

However, after fighting in Liufang Pavilion that day, less than ten days later, I heard a news that it was said that a fire broke out on the Jinqianfang on the banks of Liujing River suddenly started one night.

The fire was very strong and there were many fire points. The money shop, which was rushing to make money every day, was burned completely under this fire, and even affected the fish in the pond. The two buildings next to it were also affected.

It is said that some people in the Jinqianfang who had no time to run away in their sleep were buried alive in the sea of ​​fire. Later, the yamen servants of the Yanjing Prefecture yarn counted the fire and carried out four corpses burned into black charcoal from it, all of which were dancers and singers in the Jinqianfang.

After hearing the news, Han Mo immediately realized that it was not someone else who took action, but most of them were Mr. Xiao, who had resentment towards Jinqianfang.

The young master Xiao was really fierce in his attack. After that day, he was thinking about how he could not do to Han Mo, so he planned to deal with the Jinqianfang, and finally a big show of burning the Jinqianfang was launched.

Speaking of which, not many people would think of the cause of the fire on Xiao Mingtang. After all, Han Mo sowed the disagreement that night, but no one else knew about it. Therefore, not many people knew about Xiao Mingtang's resentment towards Jin Qianfang. In this way, naturally no one would associate the fire at Jin Qianfang with Xiao Mingtang.

The Yanjing Prefecture Office investigated the cause of the fire, but in the end it was just a conclusion that the fire broke out inside the Jinqianfang and did not continue to investigate.

Han Mo immediately sent a dark official from the West Flower Hall to keep an eye on several important members who escaped from the Jinqianfang fire, such as Jin Xiaofo and Yang Laoliu, who all sent people to closely monitor their movements.

In addition, of course, you must lay your eyes outside the Xuande Palace and pay attention to Mrs. Hua Qing's movements at any time.

The Jinqianfang was burned. Except for the people in the Jinqianfang, the most angry person was Han Bin, the third son of the Han family. He was in the Jinqianfang these days and could meet Mrs. Hua Qing from time to time, and even say something. For him, this was an extremely happy thing. The Jinqianfang was burned and there was no stronghold, and there was no chance to see Mrs. Hua Qing again.

He was both angry and helpless, so he couldn't run to the Xuande Palace to find Mrs. Hua Qing, right?
