"Young master, this is a carrier pigeon message from Mr. Yuan!"
Two days later, Han Mo finally received the carrier pigeon message sent by Yuan Xingchi.
"Oh, it seems Mr. Yuan has come to bring us good news!"
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Han Mo immediately took it.
"Hahaha, the general trend is set!"
After reading the contents of the letter, Han Mo immediately burst into laughter.
"Young master? What about the prefectural yamen? They are still slacking off and not putting in real effort!"
Seeing Han Mo's excited appearance, Jiang Yan said softly.
"It's alright. I think starting tomorrow night, our Lord Li will start to be truly diligent!"
Han Mo didn't care at all about the underhand tactics Li Yueyang was playing.
"Will he?"
Although Han Mo said it with great certainty, Jiang Yan was still a little skeptical.
"My lord, General Wang is here!"
As they were talking, Liang Hongyu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"You go and attend to your matters. I'll go and see what business our General Wang has!"
Hearing that Wang Bing had arrived, Han Mo immediately smiled and said to Jiang Yan.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately responded and turned to leave.
"General Wang, why do you have time to visit me today?"
Regardless of anything else, Wang Bing was the person Han Mo could rely on most in Mingzhou City. Hearing he had arrived, Han Mo personally went to the door to greet him.
"What? Can't I come if there's nothing to do?"
Seeing Han Mo personally coming out to greet him, Wang Bing's face immediately showed a smile.
"Hahaha, I misspoke. Brother Wang, please come in."
"I heard that Brother Han's household is preparing to hold a joyous occasion. For such a good thing, why didn't Brother Han mention it to me at all? Don't forget, the groom is still working under me."
As they walked inside, Wang Bing said half-jokingly.
"Hahaha, we are currently planning it. Once the new house is decorated, you, the great matchmaker, will naturally not be missed!"
Although he didn't know Wang Bing's motives for doing this, Han Mo understood that Wang Bing was showing him goodwill and also trying to get closer to him. However, no matter what, at this moment, they had to face the storm together.
Therefore, he spoke very frankly.
"Then it's settled. I will be the matchmaker!"
Although Han Shizhong was still just a small captain, Wang Bing dared not underestimate him at this moment.
After all, although he was Tong Guan's subordinate, he was not entirely deaf or blind in the Southeast Six Circuit Pacification Commission.
If one only spoke of official rank, there were many people with higher status than Han Mo in the entire Southeast Six Circuit Pacification Commission. However, the only person who could make Zong Ying personally come out to greet him every time he visited was Han Mo.
Who was Zong Ying?
He was the most trusted advisor to Prince Xin!
He had background, means, talent, and was deeply favored by the emperor. Such a young official was also a Zhuangyuan (top scholar). If he didn't befriend such a person early, what kind of official career could he possibly have?
"It's settled then. You're the matchmaker!"
While they were talking, Han Mo led Wang Bing into his study.
"General, please have some tea!"
As soon as they sat down, Liang Hongyu brought the tea.
"Is this the bride? Our Captain Han is truly blessed with good fortune!"
Upon seeing Liang Hongyu, Wang Bing couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"It's not even a definite thing yet, General, please don't tease me..."
This remark made Liang Hongyu's face instantly turn red to her neck.
"Hahaha, the date has already been set, hasn't it? How can you say it's not definite? I came in a hurry today and didn't bring any good things. This little trinket has been with me for many years, consider it my meeting gift for the bride!"
As Wang Bing spoke, he untied a dual-fish pendant about the size of a palm from his waist.
"No, no, no, this is too valuable, I can't accept it..."
Having glanced at the quality of the jade pendant, Liang Hongyu quickly refused repeatedly.
Although the Liang family had declined, she still had good judgment.
The jade pendant was as white as sheep fat, without any impurities, and it was evident at a glance that it should be top-grade Hetian jade. Furthermore, the carving was also of the highest quality. If this item were placed in Bianliang City, its value would be at least a thousand guan. How could she dare to accept it now?
"Hahaha, it's alright. Since General Wang wants you to accept it, then accept it! This is the general's kind intention. If you don't accept it, he will feel bad."
Han Mo looked at Wang Bing deeply before speaking to Liang Hongyu.
"Hahaha, Brother Han understands my intentions best!"
Seeing that Han Mo had already said so, Liang Hongyu bowed to Wang Bing again and took the jade pendant with both hands.
"Alright, you go and attend to your matters. If there's nothing else, don't bother with us. Oh, by the way, General Wang is staying for lunch today. If you're in the mood, why don't you personally cook a few small dishes to thank this great matchmaker!"
"Yes!"
Although a little shy, Liang Hongyu still responded, blushed, and withdrew.
"Brother Wang, did you come today to discuss something with me?"
After hearing Liang Hongyu's footsteps fade away, Han Mo asked with a smile.
"Brother Han has eyes like a torch. I did have something to discuss today!"
As Wang Bing said this, he actually seemed a little embarrassed.
"Brother Wang, please speak your mind. There are only the two of us here anyway!"
Seeing his hesitant demeanor, Han Mo smiled and poured him another cup of tea.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I heard that Brother Han has an unusual relationship with His Highness Prince Xin. Is this true..."
After careful consideration, Wang Bing tentatively asked.
"What Brother Wang means is..."
Hearing this, Han Mo was a little puzzled.
Wang Bing had always been associated with Tong Guan. How could it be that in his words, he seemed to want to change his ways and start anew under Prince Xin?
"Brother Han, you are a civil official, you don't understand the difficulties of us military officers. Many times, we have no choice in what we do..."
As Wang Bing said this, he couldn't help but give a bitter smile and then drained the tea in his cup.
His words were already very clear, but his defection was too sudden, which made Han Mo hesitate.
