Chapter 59: Low-key counterattack

The moment Han Mu stepped into the hall, the three adults stood up at the same time. Xie An and Wang Tanzhi were dressed in first-rank civil servant uniforms, cage-capped gauze dress, black boots, soap sole, with a pattern of auspicious clouds and flying fish embroidered on their chests, and a python belt was wrapped around their waists; Zhang Xuan was dressed in second-rank military officers serving a fierce leopard on his chest, with teeth dancing and claws.

Han Mu greeted the three adults and smiled and said, "Enjoyed father, Lord Wang, General Zhang, why are all the three adults wearing so formal clothes today? Is it too late to change them just after the court?"

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Brother Han, you are tired." After saying that, he said seriously: "Han Mu, deputy commander of the right guard of the Great Jin Imperial Guard, received the order..."

Han Muhu jumped and saw Zhang Xuan pick up a golden scroll in Xiangkeng Mountain. He realized that it was not a joke. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Han Mu received the order."

"Han Mu, deputy commander of the Right Guard of the Imperial Guard, made meritorious achievements in ten days of his entry, protecting the pillars of the imperial court without fear of life and death, and repelling the thieves. I am very happy with such a loyal and brave man. I would like to give him praise and award him the Imperial Guard General Tiger Power. The former deputy commander remains unchanged, and I personally lead the Shooting Camp. I hope Han Mu will be loyal to the country and not be negligent, so I admire this!" Zhang Xuan finished reading the imperial edict in a loud voice.

Han Mu thanked him for his gratitude, and the three adults were busy congratulating Han Mu. Han Mu made some polite comments and thanked the three adults for their cultivation.

The position of General Huwei is nothing, it is just an honorary title. Originally, the deputy commander of Han Mu's right guard was at the level of deputy general, but this deputy general had no name; but the leader of the sound shooting camp was another matter, this was a real military power. Although each of the five major guard battalions had only more than a thousand troops, it was a real force. Unexpectedly, after Jin Chunbo died, the battalion fell into his hands. Han Mu's heart was complicated, and he was filled with excitement and a little fear.

Xie An smiled and said, "Boy, it's so glorious now. Lord Wang and Lord Zhang strongly recommend it to the emperor. You can't embarrass them."

Han Mu said gratefully to Wang Tanzhi and Zhang Xuan: "The two lords have really cultivated Han Mu a lot, and Han Mu cannot repay him."

Wang Tanzhi said: "You are capable enough, and we are not nepotism, so we don't have to be polite."

Zhang Xuan also smiled and said, "To be honest, I should also thank Brother Han. If you hadn't tried to defend the two lords last night, if there was anything wrong with them, I, Zhang Xuan, would have been tortured to death." This is true. If a court official was assassinated in public, Zhang Xuan, the commander of the Imperial Guard, would not escape the crime of dereliction of duty.

Han Mu said: "I wonder if Lord Zhang can find out the identity of the assassin?"

Xie Xuan said: "Does this still need to be checked? We don't care who the assassin is, but it's clear who sent it."

Han Mu was silent. This was indeed a clear lice on the bald man. From Wu Xing chasing him to the capital, the boss behind the scenes was obviously Huan Wen, and Xie An, Wang Tanzhi and others were present, but by chance, the assassin was not for them. But Han Mu would not say it explicitly that the reason why he pretended to be confused was not that he was afraid of being abandoned by Xie An and others, but because now he was on the same boat with them, and dealing with himself was actually a blow to Xie An and the two kings.

Thinking of this, Han Mu said: "I'm afraid this matter cannot be over so easily. We have to think of some solutions."

Xie An said: "Of course, we must take advantage of the time when the man was busy mobilizing troops and garrisoning grain on the border to save face of the failure of the Northern Expedition. Although this move is a bit glorious, the safety of the Jin Dynasty's future is more important than anything else, and we don't care about anything else."

Both Wang Tanzhi and Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.

Wang Tanzhi said: "Does Xie Gong have detailed plans?"

Xie An said: "I am also considering it. At present, I can only insert my own people into the key departments step by step. This matter cannot be progressed quickly. I am also very anxious. The emperor has too many eyes and ears around me. I guess the news of Han Mu's promotion will reach the border tomorrow, and the matter will be difficult to deal with."

Han Mu suddenly said, "I have a few words I don't know if I can say."

Xie An said: "You kid, just say whatever you have and don't be so pretentious."

Han Mu scratched his head, stretched his neck and watched from side to side; Xie An said: "I am all brought by my hometown in Dongshan. Some generations have followed me with the Xie family. There will be no problem. However, Han Mu, you are so cautious, and I will remind me that when we talk in the future, we will go to the study just in case."

Everyone nodded and said yes, and Han Mu then said: "What the adoptive father said just now reminded me that now we can only increase our strength secretly so that we can compete with the strong enemy in the future; for the sake of the Great Jin and for ourselves. Now that man has two towns of soldiers, only three days away from the capital, which is indeed a hidden danger. The 50,000 troops in the capital are enough to restrain them."

"However, the three foreign troops and the central army are not harmonious. The man arranged the two Xia Tui in this time to be the deputy, with the intention of winning over or not being able to win over them and replace them. Although we cannot win over the foreign troops and we are united in fighting the enemy with us, at least we must ensure that the situation will not deteriorate and the foreign troops fall into the opponent's bag. This is the bottom line, otherwise there will be no support, and if the disaster fails, we will have no power to confront each other."

Han Mu said something and everyone nodded frequently. Wang Tanzhi pondered: "But the nephew means..."

Han Mu reached out to make a knife and cut, everyone frowned and thought hard. The hall was silent, with only the sound of four people breathing. At this time, even a needle fell off, you could hear the sound.

"No poison is not a husband, I think this is necessary." Zhang Xuan said breaking the silence.

"I also agree that although this matter was injustice, after last night's incident, I didn't feel uneasy." Wang Tanzhi said.

"However... once this matter is started, we have no way out." Xie An looked at the other three people with bright eyes.

Han Mu remembered that Wu Xing was kind and polite, causing a tragic disaster, and said proudly: "Entertainment Father, with your understanding of that person, we compromised and made things a break?"

Xie An pondered: "Before ambition, anyone will be crushed to pieces. Moreover, the consequence of our grievances is not only the personal life and death, but the fate of the Great Jin Dynasty is worrying."

"What are you hesitating about?" Wang Tanzhi said urgently. "You have analyzed it so thoroughly, can't you decide?"

Xie An smiled and said, "I decided that this matter is inevitable, and the results may be unimaginable." He stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Mu, "A good boy, he is a talent for killing and decisive decision."

Han Mu suddenly understood that the old fox was actually provoking him and Wang Zhang, and from the very beginning he agreed to Han Mu's plan.

"I will take out the specific plan of action immediately, and I will do this." Han Mu didn't care much about it, and cutting off the old thief's minions was his favorite thing to do.

The four of them chatted for a few words, and Xie An brought tea to see him off. Han Mu left Xie's mansion, and his heart was brilliant. The catkins in the sky were flying in the spring breeze. Han Mu felt such a strong confidence for the first time. The future is unknown, but every day in the future is worth looking forward to.

I want to use known efforts to challenge the unknown fate! Han Mu thought; with a wave of the whip, the sound of the horse's hooves was "da da" on the wide and neat stone slab avenue.
