Chapter 67 Unexpected

Han Mu rushed to Xie's mansion like a gust of wind. He had to remind Xie An to be careful to avoid accidents. Since the enemy dared to rush into the prefect's mansion directly, he might not dare to take action in Jiankang City. As for the same sentence, any obstacles will be crushed to pieces in front of the wheel of ambition.

The Xie family was as calm as ever. Today, the Dragon Boat Festival was given a day off, so Xie An and others did not attend court.

Han Mu was familiar with the road and headed straight to the study. He didn't believe that Xie An would go to see a dragon boat race. Sure enough, Xie An sat upright in the study and looked at the book.

After Han Mu was anxious to meet Xie An, he told Xie An all the words Han Qi said just now; but when Xie An saw that Xie An was not surprised at all, he just put down the book, took out a letter from the desk and handed it to Han Mu.

Han Mu unfolded the book and the elegant running script came into his eyes:

Xie Gongtai Jian, Zi Jing sent someone to discuss the matter he had decided last time, and the matter had been decided; when this letter was sent, I had already traveled outside the mansion, and all the guards in the mansion had been transferred away; Xie Gong could send someone to inform the other party and act quickly, but he should remind them not to hurt the lives of the people of Wuxing.

I feel helpless about this, but the situation is like this, so I have to do it. Nephew Han hopes that Mr. Xie will comfort him more. Zi Jing bows!

Han Mu was shocked. He quickly looked at it again, sure that it was undoubtedly Wang Xianzhi's handwriting. Finally, he couldn't help but tear the letter to pieces and threw it heavily on the ground.

Xie An sighed, picked up the paper scraps on the ground one by one, put them in the brazier to light them, and watched the flames swallowing the shreds bit by bit before looking at Han Mu and said, "Han Mu, you don't know the difficulties here. When Lord Wang Tanzhi and Zijing agreed on this matter, it was indeed a helpless move."

Han Mu remained silent, tears rolling in his eyes, and his teeth clattered.

"It's not that the three of us concealed you, but because if we told you this, you will not agree and will obstruct you; but a great disaster will arise." Xie An said slowly.

Han Mu took a deep breath and bowed, "The adoptive father is here, Han Mu just wants to hear you tell me the reasons. If it is reasonable and beneficial to major events, then my servants of the Han family and Mr. Cai died as much as possible. If they are forced by their own life and death, and they have their own ambitions, they will not blame the adults. But from then on, we will part ways, and the hatred of killing our father is irreconcilable. How can I allow the old thief to be free, let alone with him."

"Shut up!" Xie An's handsome face was angry, and his wide sleeves seemed to be floating with his anger. "Bastard, how could he despise me and the two Lord Wang so much? Do you remember the words in the study that day? The words of repairing the plank road and crossing Chen Cang secretly came from you? In fact, you agreed to show that the enemy was weak and waiting for a good opportunity that day. How could he be messed up because the servants in the mansion were killed? It was useless to waste our expectations for you."

Han Mu said with his neck, "I said that, but you actually handed over the emperor's secret edict to others. This is not showing weakness but...but..."

"It's a ruthlessness, a loss of reputation, or a betrayal of the emperor?" Xie An said angrily: "The situation has developed to an extremely bad point. Sima Huan has replaced the commander of the palace guards. Do you know?"

Han Mu was shocked and said, "What? Isn't the guard commander Huang Songnian?"

Xie An said in a slow tone: "Mr. Huang has been framed by the old thief and was impeached. More than 30 Huan members jointly impeached him. The current commander of the Grand Inspector is Huan Wen's younger brother Huan. Do you know the seriousness of the matter now?"

Han Mu was sweating coldly. Huan Wen's move was a precursor to usurping the throne. All the guards in the inner guards were in his hands. Two of the three foreign armies fell to him. Three thousand troops were established in the Duwei Mansion, and nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses on the front line could also be returned to health within a day and a night. In this situation, Huan Wen would not launch it, and he would definitely succeed once it was launched. What is missing now is just a reason; and the secret edict is the best reason.

Xie An, Wang Tanzhi and others must have agreed to disguise themselves as thieves and destroy the secret edict for such considerations. In this way, Huan Wen lacked the most ideal reason and felt less scruples. Then the matter of usurping power is not inevitable. After all, using the emperor to make the princes is not at all harmful to actual power than openly usurping the throne, but it is much better in reputation.

If Huan Wen wanted to be the emperor, he could use the water grinding skill to force the emperor to abdicate and to him. It would be much better than openly usurping the throne in terms of emotion and reason, and would not cause resistance from other prefectures, counties and towns.

Han Mu finally understood the good arrangements of King Xie An, King Tan, King Xianzhi and others. If this were not the case, his own faction would be in a catastrophe and the throne would be usurped. Whether he could survive at that time was a question, and no one around him would be spared; let alone avenge the murder of his father.

Han Mu thought of this festival and suddenly realized his heart and his expression returned to nature.

Xie An smiled and patted his shoulder and sighed, "This fact is beyond our expectations. We didn't expect that when your whole family had left Wuxing, they would even kill the Han family to vent their anger. This is my inappropriate consideration. I apologize to you." After saying that, he bowed.

Han Mu hurriedly avoided the position and said, "How can the adoptive father be like this? It's because the boy is stupid and doesn't know where the joint is, and he even says something bastard. Han Mu is ashamed."

Xie An laughed and said, "I believe in my own eyes. Don't underestimate yourself." After saying that, he looked at the courtyard outside. The green trees in the courtyard were like a cover and the fragrance of flowers was pleasant. It was a bright sunny and full of vitality.

Xie An's eyes were shining, and a faint smile on his handsome and fair face said, "The old thief thought he would win a great victory, but how could he know that I abandoned a son to kill him a long dragon. Could it be that Xie An, I, was so vulnerable and allowed to be meat from a mermaid?"

This was the first time Han Mu saw Xie An's contemptuous look. Looking at his slender and tall figure and confident expression, he felt ashamed of himself. His cultivation has not yet reached his home.

He suddenly remembered something and said, "Entertainment Father, I want to ask my adoptive father to approve Sister Yun to stay in my mansion for a few days. I still need her help in the arrangement of my courtyard."

Xie An turned his head to look at Han Mu, his eyes seemed to penetrate everything, and he smiled and said, "If it were to arrange the courtyard, how could I not agree? Han Mu, I just want to tell you that when you like someone, the first thing you have to do is not to hurt him, let alone be hurt by others. When you have the ability to protect everyone, you have the qualifications to have the person you love. Those bullshit ethics and public opinion are like the breeze in this courtyard to me, Xie An, and it is not worth mentioning at all."

Han Mu thought about his difficult words and said firmly: "Han Mu has received teachings, and Xie has a good father. Han Mu will work hard to improve and not fall behind."

Xie An nodded and said, "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor will have a banquet for the ministers in the evening, and you and Daoyun are both invited. The evening program will definitely be exciting. Remember the words of repairing the plank road and crossing Chen Cang secretly. Don't get angry at this sensitive time. Go."

Han Mu nodded and agreed. After leaving the study, his mood rose and fell a little, he finally returned to calm. Looking at the thriving flowers and trees in the yard, Han Mu let out a long sigh.

This ancient dispute over power and status really made people feel depressed and bored; but the smiles like flowers and the tragic death of Han Yong and Liu Er and Xueer's daughters flashed through Han Mu's mind. Han Mu knew that he had no reason to be decadent; he embarked on a road of no return.
