Xue Xiang never thought that one day he would face a "critical moment of life and death", and this was one of the "unexpected disasters".

After working diligently for so many years, I finally gained a foothold in Yongxingjun Road and achieved a good political balance with all parties.

When he was preparing to make great plans and show his achievements, a top leader with profound background was parachuted in from above, and then this top leader encountered trouble in his own defense area.

This scene of yellow mud falling on his crotch - which was either shit or shit - seemed to him like God was trying to kill him.

Xue Xiang's heart is still pounding when he recalls the day he arrived in Wannian County.

Seeing Han Ming covered in blood and many guards with varying degrees of injuries made Xue Xiang feel dizzy.

The one who seemed a little more normal was Wang Shao, who was in rags. In the end, this gentleman couldn't bear to perform in such a big drama, so he could only dress up as a beggar and sigh there.

When Xue Xiang asked about the details, Wang Shao finally wiped away his tears and explained what happened with lingering fear.

Han Ming lay motionless with a blood-soaked bandage wrapped around his chest. If he hadn't groaned occasionally, Xue Xiang would have thought that this gentleman was about to pass away!

Finally, after treatment by a local doctor, it was determined that the deep knife wound on Han Ming's chest was the main cause of his coma.

Xue Xiang could certainly see the reason why Han Ming was seriously injured and unconscious. The purpose of asking the doctor to diagnose and treat him was nothing more than to test whether Han Ming was really injured or just pretending.

After several doctors made the diagnosis, Xue Xiang's heart sank to the bottom. At this moment, he felt his heart go cold.

"Die, die, die! It's actually true! These stinky soldiers really dared to kill me. This is to appease the transport envoy!"

"These bastards have caused me so much trouble!"

Why did Xue Xiang suddenly determine that it was the wing troops under the Yongxingjun Road who did it?

It was mainly based on two points. One was the information about the robbers brought by his subordinates, which roughly guessed that the other party was from the military.

The second was the knife wound on Han Ming's chest, which was actually caused by the standard weapons of the Song Dynasty army.

Although Xue Xiang was born a civil official, he was not a novice in military affairs. This deputy envoy of transportation knew some common knowledge about military equipment.

Based on these two points, Xue Xiang had roughly deduced what had happened, which made this gentleman feel dizzy and his future seemed bleak.

After stabilizing Han Ming's injuries in Wannian County, everyone returned to Jingzhao Prefecture, and the situation was initially stabilized.

Although Wang Shao was not well-known, Xue Xiang was aware of this situation as he was a Jinshi in the Jiayou period.

When Xue Xiang heard Wang Shao introduce himself as the chief clerk of the Shaanxi Pacification and Transportation Office, he was shocked and realized that this person was Han Ming's spokesperson.

Once this relationship became clear, Wang Shao's status in front of Xue Xiang also rose, and he was often pulled by Xue Xiang to discuss some issues about the development of Yongxingjun Road.

At the same time, Xue Xiang also hopes that Wang Shao will be able to say a few good words to Han Ming in the future to overcome the current crisis.

As a result, before Han Ming could finish his work, the order from the Privy Council of the imperial court came to the confused Xue Xiang.

Looking at the document that contained the murderous intent clearly concealed by the Privy Councilor Zeng Mingzhong, Xue Xiang felt a chill in his heart.

"What a sin! What a sin! These bastards are such fucking bastards!"

Xue Xiang just felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs - he had no way to express his pain.

"I'm just a deputy transport envoy in charge of financial supervision, so why should I be blamed for everything?!"

"The military is clearly the job of the pacification commissioner. You can't put all the blame on me just because there's no pacification department!"

Xue Xiang looked through the extremely harsh words in the document with a feeling of grievance, and didn't know who to scold.

"Military reform..."

"The imperial court is taking this opportunity to stir up trouble..."

"It seems that young cabinet minister has many connections, and he is bound to have a prosperous career in the future!"

"Would you like to pledge your allegiance to this person..."

Xue Xiangyang lay in the rocking chair, and as he swayed, chaotic thoughts began to appear in his mind.

"Snapped!"

Xue Xiang slapped the document in his hand, his face darkening. "Since you big guys want to set up a scheme and use me as a pawn, don't blame me."

Xue Xiang held the document tightly, stood up and left the government office, and came to the arranged villa, which was where Han Ming was recuperating.

However, no one except Wang Shao and Yong Zeng could enter the house.

After standing outside the courtyard for a long time, Xue Xiang gritted his teeth, knelt down with the document in his hands, and shouted loudly: "Xue Xiang, Deputy Envoy of the Shaanxi Pacification and Transportation Department, requests to see Lord Han."

The powerful voice startled Wang Shao, who was writing documents in the room, and Han Ming, who was drinking tea and eating melon seeds.

Then the two smiled at each other. Wang Shao straightened his appearance and walked out of the house with the shelf.

Seeing Xue Xiang kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, Wang Shao's face showed a trace of surprise and strangeness, and then he hurriedly reached out to support the other party in a "pretentious" manner.

"Oh, what does Master Xue mean? Please stand up quickly. I, Wang, cannot resist such kindness from you, Master."

Wang Shao pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, which made Xue Xiang very depressed.

Am I saluting you? I'm saluting the gentleman in the room, you idiot!

"Master Wang, I'm here to visit Master Han today!"

Seeing Xue Xiang a little nervous, Wang Shao smiled knowingly: "Master Xue should know that although Master Han is out of danger now, he is still weak and should not see outsiders."

Wang Shao's words made Xue Xiang's heart move. Outsider? After all, he was his deputy in the transportation envoy's appeasement, but he was considered an outsider?

It can be seen that Han Ming still does not trust himself. What should he do?

"I understand, Xue. However, the court has issued a new document, and I must submit it to Lord Han before a decision can be made."

Xue Xiang said that I am the younger brother now, and some things must be decided by the boss.

These words actually had the flavor of testing Han Ming's intentions. Wang Shao naturally understood it and took the document with a smile.

"Master Xue, you know that this accident has left Master Han in a bad state. Many things are difficult for him to decide. It would be better for Master Xue to make the decision on his own."

Wang Shao's words made Xue Xiang's heart sink and his brows gradually furrowed. Was this a disguised rejection of his allegiance?

"In the entire Shaanxi province, if we talk about who can make decisions on their own, it's only Lord Han. I, Xue, can only assist, so how can I say I can make decisions?"

Xue Xiang's words were very straightforward. From now on, only one person would have the final say in Yongxingjun Road, and that was Han Ming.

Hearing this, a smile flashed across Wang Shao's eyes. Then he looked back at the door and waited quietly for Han Ming's instructions without saying anything to Xue Xiang.

"Master Xue and Master Wang, please come in."

As soon as Han Ming's "weak" voice came out, Wang Shao smiled knowingly, turned sideways and stretched out his hand, making a "please" gesture.

On the other hand, Xue Xiang felt relieved, and a relaxed smile bloomed on his worried face. He bowed to Wang Shao and walked into the house first.

The room was bright and not as dark as I had imagined.

The first thing Xue Xiang saw when he entered the room was Han Ming sitting on a chair and Yong Zeng guarding him.

Seeing Han Ming's rosy face, Xue Xiang smiled bitterly, but he also knew that he had made the right move.

"Xue Xiang, greetings to Lord Han."

He did not have any professional title, but only reported his name, which to a certain extent represented his personal identification with Han Ming and his intention to serve him.

"Master, you are too polite. Please take a seat quickly."

Han Ming chuckled and pointed to where he would start.

The word "Master Zheng" made Xue Xiang feel relieved, knowing that Han Ming approved of his joining the army. Otherwise, such an intimate behavior of "writing" would not happen.

"Thank you, sir." Xue Xiang quickly returned the greeting and sat down obediently.

"I already know the purpose of Master Zheng's visit. I wonder what you think of this imperial decree?"

Han Ming took the document from Wang Shao's hand and flipped through it casually. Seeing Zeng Mingzhong's stern tone, he felt like laughing.

This Mr. Zeng is also a bit unlucky.

"The imperial decree must be respected, but I wonder if Your Excellency has any instructions?"

Xue Xiang's attitude of asking for instructions made Han Ming nod slightly, as if he understood the other party's intention.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with Mr. Zeng's plan. Just follow the steps."

"However, Han is currently in poor health and often lacks energy. I wonder if I could trouble Master Zheng to help with the specific implementation of this matter?"

Xue Xiang didn't feel anything when he heard the first half of Han Ming's sentence, but the second half made his face change slightly. Should he take the blame for this?

"As the saying goes, risks and opportunities coexist. The imperial court will not abandon any good official who serves the country and the people, nor will it wrongly accuse anyone."

“Those who carry firewood for the public should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow and wind!”

"Master Zheng should have heard this before, right?"

Han Ming's smile made Xue Xiang feel creepy.

This young man, who had just turned twenty, gave him the impression of being shrewd and cunning, something that could only be seen in the ministers in the Council of State.

Xue Xiang swallowed silently, then stood up and saluted with a resolute look. "Master Han's words have enlightened me. I will definitely do my utmost to implement the imperial court's military reforms."

Hearing Xue Xiang take the blame, Han Ming handed the document back to him and said: "I won't be in Shaanxi for long. I hope we can work together to complete this task."

"Zichun!"

Han Ming was talking to Xue Xiang one second, and the next second he turned to Wang Shao.

"What are your instructions, sir?" Wang Shao bowed quickly.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please help Master Xue and move this matter forward together."

"Of course, if you two work well together, it's not impossible for you to govern Shaanxi in the future..."

Han Ming glanced at Xue Xiang and Wang Shao casually. His seemingly simple words contained a heavy promise.

Xue Xiang and Wang Shao looked at each other, joy flashing in their eyes.

They knew that as long as they could do their job well, they would be the top two leaders of Shaanxi Pacification and Transportation Bureau in the future.

"Yes! We will do our utmost to repay the court and your kindness."

Looking at the two people bowing their heads, Han Ming's lips curled up into a faint smile...
