Ch62: Make Up Mind

Han Tingxuan's eyes sparkled slightly when he saw the two words "Han Mansion".

There were two big stone lions at the entrance, and the frame of the plaque was made of pure gold. The two doors were made of good quality wood. It was already nice from the outside.

"Yanzhi, here we are. This place will be our home in the future," said Han Tingxuan.

Mo Yanzhi nodded. The two of them got out of the carriage. Han Tingxuan had been holding Mo Yanzhi's hand.

Mo Yanzhi’s heart was warmed as he saw the hand in hand.

Han Tingxuan took him into the house. Although over a hundred guards were wearing ordinary clothes, they looked they were tough and aggressive.

What's more, it was said they once fought in wars.

Only four guards were left at the door and the rest of them followed in.

There were already 30 servants in the Han Mansion. All of them were servants whose work was to serve and clean up. Han Tingxuan had to select guards from the over 100 people who had followed behind.

When the servants saw Han Tingxuan and Mo Yanzhi walking hand in hand, they all knelt and saluted.

At this moment, a fifty-year-old housekeeper came over. "Greetings! Master and Madam. My name is Qi Fengyuan."

The corner of Han Tingxuan's mouth twitched slightly. He was not used to be called “master” especially when he was only twenty years old.

"Ahem," Han Tingxuan smiled. "You must be housekeeper Qi. Brother mentioned you to me.” Qi Fengyuan once worked for Tian Yuexi. He had been hiding outside the palace to deal with many things outside the palace. He was sent to work for Han Tingxuan, which proved how much Tian Yuexi valued Han Tingxuan.

Qi Fengyuan was touched. "I am overflattered."

Han Tingxuan smiled and raised his hand to show respect. "I'm too young to run the house. I may use your help in the future. Hope you don’t mind."

"Since I am the housekeeper of Han Mansion, I will make all-out efforts!"

Han Tingxuan said a few more things but did not say anything to the other servants. Then, under the guidance of Housekeeper Qi, he and Mo Yanzhi headed to the master bedroom.

When they arrived at the master bedroom, Han Tingxuan dismissed all servants and said to Mo Yanzhi. "We've spent the whole on the road today. Yanzhi, how about having dinner in the room and you should take a rest early."

"Okay," Mo Yanzhi nodded. "What about you?"

"I'm going to have dinner here too, but there are still a lot of things to do. I might return later. You cannot wait for me to come back. Understand?"

Mo Yanzhi nodded. "I know how to take care of myself."

According to Housekeeper Qi's arrangement, three he-man servants and three she-man maids were arranged to serve Mo Yanzhi. Mo Yanzhi didn't want so many people to wait on him.

However, housekeeper Qi changed his mind.

"The number of servants is a symbol of master’s social status. If there are not many, he will be laughed at."

Therefore, Mo Yanzhi accepted it.

Out of the three he-man servants, Mo Yanzhi chose one as the leader. His name was Qian Yun. The leader of the three she-man maids was Lyu Han.

While Han Tingxuan was having dinner, he made the leader of the guards choose 30 people to run errands in the Han Mansion. As for the others, they were all hidden in the dark.

The others did not hide in the mansion. Instead, they would be assigned to other industries.

The head of the hundred and forty people was called Zhou Yi. In the future, he would be responsible for the safety of all the industries that Han Tingxuan was engaged in.

Of the 30 people selected, Lu Tian was the leader.

After meeting these people, Han Tingxuan was tired and planned to rest first. At this moment, Shadow Four returned.

Shadow Four was the person Han Tingxuan sent to deal with the child's problem. He was sent to investigate the whole matter including who the man was and who the child was, and whether it was a coincidence for them to make a fuss in the inn.

He didn't expect that Shadow Four could come back so soon.

"Lord," Shadow Four was on one knee.

Han Tingxuan was stunned. "Lord?"

"Yes, from now on, Shadow Four, Shadow Six, Shadow Seven, Shadow Nine, Shadow 11, Shadow 14, Shadow 17, and Shadow 18 will be at your service. We only take orders from you. Now all of us including those things that we used to be responsible for will be under your management.”

It seemed like Tian Yuexi had assigned all of these secret guards to him. However, it was a surprise that he had handed over all the jobs that these people were responsible for. It seemed that Tian Yuexi was already arranging things after his death.

The reason why he sent these secret guards was to ensure that Han Tingxuan and Mo Yanzhi would be safe.

Because these people were good at martial arts. They were the ones of top masters in the country.

"Which two of you have the best kung fu?" asked Han Tingxuan.

"Shadow Seven and I."

"Alright. In the future, Shadow Seven will be responsible for protecting Yanzhi, secretly. He only needs to be responsible for Yanzhi’s safety alone. Make others take over whatever he used to work. You decide on whom will take over. Sort out the things that you were responsible for and hand in a summary report. The rest will remain unchanged. In addition, from now on, choose two secret guards and tell them to train a hundred secret guards. They can pick ones from our guards or anyone you find capable, even someone from big brother’s guards. These guards have to be excellent at martial arts and hard workers because we don’t have much time to train them from the beginning.”

“Yes, Lord.” Shadow Four immediately accepted the order respectfully.

"Alright, now tell me why you're back so soon."

"Yes!"

Then, Shadow Four told him what had happened before.

They talked with the government official in charge of that area. It was governor Zhao Xiuyuan. Zhao Xiuyuan was a talented person, a person on their side. Since the town was very close to the City of Capital, so many officials were under the emperor's command.

As Zhao Xiuyuan said, it had been very peaceful recently. There were no bandits and no other disasters. The man looked very familiar with the area and claimed he had quite a few brothers. However, there was no record about him in the government.

He did not commit any crimes. Otherwise, there would be a record in the government.

Most importantly, the child's identity could not be found out for a while!

That child was not from local at all!

The man was put under custody and his buddies never came. Two hours later, Zhao Xiuyuan bit his tongue to kill himself while under interrogation!

On the other hand, Shadow Four had been sending two guards to watch the child. But when he went back later, the two guards were knocked out and the child disappeared!

He had examined the child before. The boy didn't know martial arts. The only possibility was that the boy was saved by someone else.

Shadow Four had been focused on the big man but neglected the boy. However, although he was focused on the man, he had sent two guards to keep a close eye on the child. In the inn, the other eight guards were also guarding outside, which only proved that the person's martial arts were strong, much stronger than the guards!

Han Tingxuan's eyes squinted.

"As I presumed, there's a problem. Put it aside. Those who were either dead or ran away. There is nothing we can do. They would always reappear if they want to do anything else. Shadow Four, you will have a lot of work to do during this period. Make sure nothing is missed.”

"Mission accepted." Shadow Four answered.

Han Tingxuan didn't say anything else before he dismissed Shadow Four.

Han Tingxuan's eyes flickered slightly. He was glad that he had not underestimated the child. Even though the child knew nothing about martial arts according to Shadow Four, he could be a murderer. Not everyone knew martial arts in modern times, but murder could happen here and there.

Especially now, there were too many methods to kill people. They had to stay vigilant.

After thinking about something else, Han Tingxuan walked towards the bedroom.

When Han Tingxuan reached the bedroom, Mo Yanzhi was already asleep.

Han Tingxuan carefully got under the blanket and Mo Yanzhi immediately opened his eyes.

Han Tingxuan felt a little guilty. "Did I wake you up?"

Mo Yanzhi shook his head. "I wasn’t in deep sleep. Have you finished handling the matter?"

"Yes. Big Brother sent eight secret guards over. Shadow Seven's kung fu is good. I arranged for him to protect you in the future."

Mo Yanzhi immediately asked, "What about you?"

"Shadow Four will make arrangement. Don’t worry.”

Mo Yanzhi frowned. "Make Shadow Seven protect you. I…"

"No." Han Tingxuan shook his head. "You will soon become a target after the announcement of your identity. You have to be extra careful. By the way, is Master Shifu still here?”

"No, I haven't seen him for many days. What's wrong? Are you looking for him?”

Han Tingxuan said, "I want to ask him if he knows anyone good at medical skills. We are looking for such talents.”

Mo Yanzhi nodded. "Then I'll send a letter to Master Shifu and ask around."

"Okay," Han Tingxuan was relieved. "Please do. It would be for the best if we can get such a talent."

"I see."

Han Tingxuan didn't say anything else but pulled Mo Yanzhi into his arms. "Sleep. We will have a lot to do tomorrow."

"Mmm," Mo Yanzhi nodded, then saw Han Tingxuan closed his eyes. He was a little confused why his husband did not do anything to him. He was not sexually appealing to his husband anymore? If that was the case, what should he do?
