Chapter 766 Here comes an old man
Northwest Camp.
The snow had been falling for many days, and finally stopped, but the northwest military camp was still as calm as usual. It was already dark. After training, the officers and soldiers of each battalion also returned to the camp to enjoy dinner.
Not many people knew about Xiao Huaiyu leaving the military camp, so there was no fluctuation in the entire military camp.
It took Han Mo a day to finally rush back to the Northwest Camp. When he returned to the Leopard Camp without anyone noticing, his generals were relieved.
It would not help but affect the morale of the army. The news of Xiao Huaiyu's Liying was not spread among the Northwest Army, and few people knew about Han Mo's Liying.
However, as soon as Han Mo returned to the camp, an expedited letter was handed to him.
This letter was sent by Li Gu, a member of the Beijing West Flower Hall. Before the Nine Gates of Yanjing were fully controlled, Li Gu sent two subordinates to deliver the letter for thousands of miles.
This letter was sent three days ago. In other words, two messengers from the West Flower Hall rushed to the Northwest Camp in three days. When the two dark officials delivered the letter, they were exhausted and were now being diagnosed and recuperated.
When Han Mo was not in the camp, Xiao Mu received an urgent letter at the first time, but he naturally did not dare to dismantle the letters sent by officials from the West Flower Hall, as he was anxious.
Han Mo opened the letter and although he had guessed the content, he still changed his color when he saw the letter telling the mutiny in the capital.
Han Mo naturally would not reveal anything about what happened on Tianya Peak.
When Han Mo was about to take the next action, he heard from his subordinates that a carriage came to the Leopard Camp camp and wanted to see Han Mo, but he did not report his identity.
Han Moda was curious, pondered for a moment, and personally arrived in front of the camp. He saw a very ordinary carriage parked outside the camp gate, which was inconspicuous, just like a carriage riding by a rich man in the countryside.
Next to the carriage, there were only more than a dozen casual guards except for the driver who drove the carriage. Although these guards were dressed in casual clothes, Han Mo could see at a glance that each of them was an extraordinary warrior.
Han Mo was wondering, Xiao Mu around him had already said in a deep voice: "Who are you? What's the matter if you want to meet the commander?"
At this moment, the curtain of the car window opened and an old face appeared beside the window. Han Mo was shocked when he saw the face and hurriedly ordered: "Let them come in!"
Xiao Mu was a little curious, but he still ordered: "Open the camp gate!"
The wooden fence camp gate opened, and the carriage quickly entered the camp surrounded by guards. Han Mo rode a horse in front and led the carriage to his camp before he turned over and got off the horse, went forward, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and reached out to help the old man in the carriage down.
He directly helped the old man into the tent, then bowed and said, "Grandpa, why are you here?"
This old man suddenly became the head of the Hu family, Mr. Hu.
Old Master Hu's face looked ugly. Although he was old, he was very imposing, and his eyes were filled with anger: "Mo'er, something big happened, the Su family rebelled!"
Han Mo took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Mr. Hu, saying solemnly: "Does my grandfather understand?"
Old Master Hu sneered: "How come I don't know? My head was almost taken away by them!"
"Grandpa, what happened?" Han Mo only saw that there was a knife on Mr. Hu's neck and was shocked.
Old Master Hu clenched his fists and said, "This time they were prepared. The capital was in chaos, worried that the aristocratic army of various counties would raise troops to fight for the king, so he secretly sent a large number of killers to Linyang County to control me and the elders of the clan." The blue veins on his fists stormed: "It's not that easy to capture me!"
Han Mo frowned and said, "Grandpa, what about the others? Where is grandma?"
Old Master Hu gazes out of fire: "The Su family has trained so many killers, just like a group of evil dogs. Just last night, a large number of killers sneaked into my mansion late at night and suddenly attacked. I and his shadow guards blocked the enemy, but the opponent suddenly came and was well-trained and not easy to deal with. Moreover... they did not just target our mansion, but also attacked the mansion of the six elders of our Hu clan at the same time." The old man shook his head and sighed: "It has never happened for many years. Although there are guards in each mansion, they were still careless... Five elders were captured, and even my mansion, your grandmother and others were controlled by the enemy...!"
Han Mo clenched his fist and said, "Where are they... now?"
Old Master Hu sneered: "I have never been threatened in my life. If I want to take my husband's tribe as a hostage, the Su family underestimated my Hu family too much." At this moment, the head of the Hu family showed extremely cruel expressions in his eyes.
When Han Mo saw this expression, his heart tightened and seemed to have guessed something.
"I broke through the encirclement and immediately summoned people. At that time, the killers had already retreated with many important tribe members of my Hu family. But how could I let them escape? My Hu family's children have practiced martial arts since childhood, and are not comparable to ordinary families." The old man was obviously angry and seemed very excited. "Three hundred disciples chased and killed them along the way. Before the early morning, they wiped out all the killers, leaving no one left."
Han Mo knew that a chase last night must have been thrilling, and asked softly: "The tribe members caught by those assassins?"
"Three elders died, your grandmother...!" At this point, Mr. Hu looked sad and instantly became firm: "Sometimes, people are inevitably dead!"
Han Mo felt sad.
Since childhood, Mr. Hu has been a kind and amiable old man in his eyes. Unexpectedly, at a critical moment, this old man was so tenacious and even a little ruthless.
The leader of a clan is always not simple.
"I set off here last night." Old Master Hu looked at Han Mo and said slowly, "Mo'er, there is a change in the capital. You must serve the king to quell the rebellion. The prince is on the border. I came here this time to ask the prince to lead his army back to quell the rebellion... I have already sent an order. The Hu family army is gathering. In the past two days, it is no problem to gather seven or eight thousand troops." He paused and said, "The news I have received is that the Su family rebellion does not seem to have much force. Even if the Su family army is gathering, the troops will not be too large in the end. You have five thousand imperial guards here. The prince will draw troops from the Northwest Army. Several troops will be combined together to ensure that the rebels in the capital will be able to quell the rebels in the capital!"
Old Master Hu only thought that the mutiny in the capital was a rebellion of the Su family. Although he was wondering why the Su family was so desperate, he never expected that the mastermind of the mutiny was the prince.
Han Mo sighed in his heart, I am afraid that few people would think that the prince would be the mastermind of the mutiny?
But he was not inconvenient to explain at this time, but he was worried about the Donghai side and asked, "Grandpa, since they attacked you, does that mean that other counties... are also attacked?"
Old Master Hu sighed and shook his head and said, "Since they are planning so much, they will naturally not only treat me, Hu family."
Han Mo was silent for a moment, called Xiao Mu, and ordered: "You go and ask the commander Lingyun of the Shengong Camp, and only said to him, I'm back to the camp, the general has something to explain, so let him come over quickly!"
Xiao Mu took the order and left.
Han Mo then said to Mr. Hu: "Grandpa, according to the news, the two camps that were in chaos were Fengxiang Camp and Volcano Camp. Fengxiang Camp controlled the East City, and the Volcano Camp blocked the Nine Gates... Don't you think it's strange?"
Old Master Hu squeezed his eyebrows together, as if he understood something, and lowered his voice: "Mo'er, why didn't you mean..."
Before Old Master Hu finished speaking, Han Mo said softly: "The prince is missing!"
"Missing?" Old Master Hu was shocked.
Han Mo nodded and said, "Yes."
Old Master Hu suddenly stood up, his eyes flashed, and he came forward and said in a deep voice: "So... has he returned to Beijing?" After saying that, he immediately shook his head: "No...No..." He looked up suddenly, his eyes sharply: "Is he... going to seize military power in the northwest?"
Han Mo immediately admired him very much. The old fox was the old fox. He saw through the most important issue in just a few words.
Old Master Hu sat down slowly on the chair beside Han Mo, his voice low: "If the mutiny in the capital is related to the prince, then... the prince can only come here to seize military power. As long as he seizes the military power in the northwest, he can only make sense in the capital. If he does not have the military power in the northwest, neither the prince nor the Su family will be so bold... Yes, without the help of the Northwest Army, the Su family should understand that the two battalions can be wiped out soon...!"
Han Mo looked at his grandfather quietly and didn't speak.
"Just...!" Old Master Hu suddenly turned his head and looked at Han Mo, "Isn't that a fantasy to seize military power from Xiao Huaiyu? The Northwest Army regards Xiao Huaiyu as a god. Without Xiao Huaiyu's words, the prince would not be able to mobilize a soldier from the northwest!"
Han Mo wondered in his heart whether he should have killed Xiao Huaiyu and the Northwest Military Talisman is now telling Mr. Hu on himself, but after thinking about it carefully, it would be better not to tell him at this time.
Although the two of them are close relatives, at this moment, they have not yet obtained their military power, and everything can happen. Be careful when taking every step.
Although Mr. Hu is his grandfather, he is also the head of the Hu family.
Old Master Hu was full of suspicion and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. He finally said, "Mo'er, no matter what the prince is, Xiao Huaiyu is still relatively upright. There is chaos in the capital, and he will never sit idly by. Follow me to see Xiao Huaiyu and ask him to transfer troops back to Beijing to quell the chaos!"
At this moment, the sound of trampling on the snow came outside the door, and then Xiao Mu heard respectfully saying: "Sir, Commander Ling is here!"
Han Mo immediately stood up and said, "Come in!"
Xiao Mu and Ling Yun came in one after another. Ling Yun first bowed to Han Mo, and then saw the old master Hu next to him. He recognized it. After all, Old Master Hu is the leader of the aristocratic family in Linyang County. Linyang City is not far from Linyang Pass. Old Master Hu often brings a large amount of wine and meat to reward the Northwest Army. However, when he appears, Ling Yun was very surprised. But knowing that although this old man has no official status, he is also a sensation in Yan State, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Grandmaster!"
Han Mo said straight to the point: "Commander Ling, there is a rebellion in the capital!"
