Chapter 183: Winning over Uesugi Tiger!
Fan Xian specifically mentioned Yan Bingyun's name, hoping to attract Zhuang Mohan's attention.

Zhuang Mohan's eyes fell on Yan Bingyun and he looked him over.

Yan Bingyun had a stern look on his face, and met Zhuang Mohan's gaze neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Zhuang Mohan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

This child's appearance and personality are somewhat similar to Sean's.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun and said, "I can help you contact Shangshan Hu, but I can't guarantee whether he is willing to see you."

Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun looked at each other, with a hint of joy in their eyes.

They hurriedly thanked Zhuang Mohan: "Thank you, sir!"

Zhuang Mohan said to the two of them, "Wait a moment, I'll send someone to deliver a message to Shangshan Hu."

Zhuang Mohan sat at the desk, pondered for a moment, and wrote a letter.

After writing, Zhuang Mohan folded the letter and walked out of the room to hand it to the servant.

Zhuang Mohan said in a serious and solemn tone: "You must quickly deliver this letter to the general's mansion and hand it over to General Shangshanhu in person. There must be no mistakes."

The servant took the letter and put it carefully in his arms.

The servant said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely deliver the letter safely."

After saying that, the servant turned and left, walking quickly towards the general's mansion.

Zhuang Mohan looked at the servant's departing back and prayed silently in his heart that this matter could be resolved smoothly.

He knew that this letter of his might change the fate of many people, including Yan Bingyun, Shangshan Hu, and even the entire situation of Northern Qi and Qing Kingdom.

But he also understood that he was just a scholar and this was all he could do.

The General's Mansion stood majestically, and the guards at the door looked solemn. The book boy came to the door of the General's Mansion and respectfully explained his purpose to the guards. The guards looked at the book boy carefully, and after confirming that he was not dangerous, one of them went in to report.

Soon, the guard came out and led the servant into the general's mansion.

The general's mansion is grand in layout and full of the tough atmosphere of a soldier. The book boy holds Zhuang Mohan's letter in his arms, feeling nervous and expectant.

They came to the room where Uesugi Tora worked, and after the guard informed, the servant was allowed to enter.

The book boy walked into the room and saw Uesugi Tora sitting behind the desk with sharp and majestic eyes.

The book boy hurried forward, presented Zhuang Mohan's letter with both hands, and said, "General, this is the letter that Mr. Zhuang Mohan asked me to deliver."

Uesugi Tora frowned slightly, reached out to take the letter, opened it and read it carefully.

The servant boy stood aside, not daring to make a sound, quietly waiting for Uesugi Tora's reaction.

After reading the letter, Uesugi Tora pondered for a moment, then said to the servant, "Wait here for a moment."

The servant boy nodded quickly and stood aside obediently.

Uesugi Tora stood up, walked into the inner room, and soon changed into a simple and elegant long gown.

He usually wore military uniform, but now he changed into a long gown, which made him look more elegant.

Uesugi Tora straightened his clothes and strode out of the room.

"Let's go." Shangshanhu said to the book boy. The book boy hurriedly followed, secretly surprised at Shangshanhu's decisiveness.

Along the way, Uesugi Tora looked calm, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

The book boy did not dare to say much, but just led the way silently. Soon, they arrived at Zhuang Mohan's mansion.

Zhuang Mohan's mansion is quiet and elegant, full of rich cultural atmosphere.

Uesugi Tora stood at the door, paused for a moment, and then walked in.

When Uesugi Hu stepped into Zhuang Mohan's room, the scent of books and ink hit him in the face.

Zhuang Mohan nodded slightly, then said to the servant, "Go wait outside."

The book boy took the order and left.

Shangshan Hu bowed respectfully to Zhuang Mohan and said, "Shangshan Hu, meet your uncle!" Zhuang Mohan smiled and agreed, "You're welcome. Sit down. It's not me who came to see you today. Someone else is here."

Zhuang Mohan then waved his hand gently, signaling Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun to come out.

Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun walked out of the inner room with calm expressions.

Uesugi Tora looked at the two of them with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Fan Xian spoke first, and said earnestly, "General, I am sorry to come to visit you because I have something important to discuss with you."

Afterwards, Fan Xian told what Su Wenyi and Lang Tao had talked about.

Yan Bingyun also said immediately: "They want to kill you and your son."

Shangshan Hu frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Lang Tao is the Queen Mother's confidant, and his actions must have a deep meaning. Do you have solid evidence?"

Fan Xian replied, "Although there is no solid evidence, Lang Tao said it himself, and he told Mr. Su in person, so it shouldn't be false."

Shangshan Hu fell into deep thought, weighing the credibility of what Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun said.

As Uesugi Tora was lost in thought, silence fell over the room.

Zhuang Mohan suddenly coughed, and the slight sound broke the silence.

Uesugi Hu raised his eyes to look at Zhuang Mohan, waiting for his next words.

Zhuang Mohan spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "Tiger, I haven't introduced you yet, this is Yan Bingyun."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shangshan Hu widened his eyes in shock, and his gaze instantly fell on Yan Bingyun.

Yan Bingyun was also shocked and obviously didn't understand the conversation between the two.

There was a storm in Shangshan Hu's heart. He never expected that the person in front of him was Yan Bingyun.

Is he my adoptive father's grandson? This child looks a bit like my adoptive father when he was young.

Thinking about it, Uesugi Tora said without hesitation: "What do you want me to do?"

Fan Xian looked at Uesugi Tiger with a determined gaze and began to tell him about his plan.

"General, the situation is urgent and we must act decisively.

My plan is that we work together to rescue people by force.

The Grand Master won't take action, so our biggest obstacle is Lang Tao, a ninth-rank master.

As long as we find where Senior Sean is, there will be a great chance of rescuing him.

But before that, I need the general to play a show with me."

Uesugi Tora frowned and said, "What drama?"

Fan Xian's tone was full of confidence. He continued, "I hope that the general can surrender to the emperor in exchange for the help of the emperor of Northern Qi."

Uesugi Tora listened to Fan Xian's plan and pondered in his heart.

Surrender to the emperor? I had never taken sides before, so I was excluded.

According to what Su Wenyi said before, if he did not take sides, he would definitely be targeted by both sides.

Now, everything is developing according to what Su Wenyi said before.

In this case, my only choice now is to choose a side.

For my adoptive father, and also for myself and my brothers.

However, Uesugi Tora was a courageous man after all. After a brief thought, he raised his head with determination in his eyes.

"Okay, Fan Xian, let's follow your plan."

　I would like to beg you all to give me some votes and gifts, especially recommendation votes. I am begging you all!
