Mu Ge was also easily dealt with. The two Imperial Guards fell to the ground and lost their ability to fight in just a few rounds.
The eyes of the military officials beside him lit up as they looked at Mu Ge. This kid's skills were really good!
"I didn't think that Mu Ziyu would have such ability.”Lu Zhi's eyes sparkled as he thought.
Yuan Shao's face was ashen. It was over. Mu Ge was in the limelight now. This Imperial Army lieutenant would not be able to escape.
"Good! Good fight!" The Spirit Monarch stood up and clapped loudly for Mu Ge. He didn't expect this young man to have such martial arts skills despite his frail appearance. He was fully qualified to be a lieutenant.
"I didn't disappoint Your Majesty." Mu Ge replied respectfully.
"En, you're a promising child. From today onwards, I'll make you a lieutenant of the Imperial Army, in charge of 2,000 soldiers. Tomorrow, you can report to Great General He.”the Spirit Monarch said in a good mood.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will definitely abide by my duty and be loyal to my duty!”Mu Ge 'expressed his loyalty'. In fact, he was overjoyed. He never thought that the Spirit Monarch would make him a lieutenant. This was something Mu Ge never expected.
After the court session ended, Mu Ge followed Yuan Shao and the others out of the main hall. Lu Zhi, Yang Biao and the others congratulated Mu Ge. A commoner had become their colleague in the blink of an eye. Although his official position was still far from theirs, Lu Zhi and the others could see Mu Ge's potential.
Mu Ge returned the greeting to everyone. Yuan Shao's face was as black as charcoal, and he was unhappy. He regretted recommending Mu Ge to become an official. Now, he had shot himself in the foot. He and Cao Mengde had to call Mu Ge 'Lord' now.
A lieutenant of the Imperial Army, a sixth-rank military officer, in charge of 2,000 imperial guards, with a salary of 2,000 dans, which was equivalent to 200 taels of gold.
Cai Yong happened to be the emcee of the Imperial Pavilion. When he heard that the Emperor had appointed Mu Ge as a lieutenant of the Imperial Army, Cai Yong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. However, he was busy sorting out the books in the library and didn't have time to come out. He could only ask the eunuch to send Mu Ge's official uniform and military seal to him. He also asked someone to send a congratulatory message to Mu Ge.
Mu Ge took the official uniform and commander's seal from the eunuch. He was also told that his manor had been arranged and that Mu Ge could move in at any time.
Before the uprising army, a lieutenant would not be given a house, and most lieutenants would live in barracks. After the uprising army, the treatment of lieutenants had improved greatly.
Mu Ge could only stay in the barracks, but Cai Yong was his teacher. He loved his teacher, so the old man had to treat Mu Ge better. Thus, he gave Mu Ge a medium-sized mansion.
"As expected, it's good to be an official.”Mu Ge teased.
Mu Ge told Xun Yu the news when he returned to Xun Manor.
"Congratulations, Brother Ziyu, for entering the Imperial Court and becoming a lieutenant. Wen Ruo has never seen someone like you who went from a commoner to a lieutenant.”Xun Yu congratulated Mu Ge with a smile.
"Wen Ruo, there's something I need to tell you.”Just as Mu Ge was feeling a little embarrassed, Xun Yu already knew what he was going to say.
"Are you leaving the Xun Residence?" Xun Yu asked.
Mu Ge nodded and explained," I will report to General He Jin tomorrow. The military camp is in the northern suburbs of Luoyang, which is far away from here. It is inconvenient to go back and forth. His Majesty will reward me with a manor. I can use it as a place to rest."”
"I have already expected this. You don't have to feel guilty. I have already ordered people to buy new furniture and mattresses. I will also arrange a few maids and servants for you to celebrate your new home.”Xun Yu said with a smile.
Mu Ge was touched. Xun Yu had helped him a lot and Mu Ge remembered all of this.
"Thank you for your kindness, Wen Ruo." Mu Ge agreed without any hesitation.
Mu Ge also moved to his new residence, the Commandant's Residence. When Xiuyan heard that Mu Ge was moving to a new residence, she quickly followed Mu Ge and packed his things while staring at Mu Ge, as if she was afraid that Mu Ge would not want her anymore.
" Brother Mu, can you stay and not leave?" As they parted ways, Xun Xin pulled Mu Ge's hand and refused to let go. The little girl's eyes were teary and she could not bear to part with Mu Ge.
"Xun Xin, don't mess around.”Xun Yu shouted at her, but he still couldn't move her.
Mu Ge smiled and squatted down to help the little girl wipe her tears. He comforted her,""Xiner, don't cry. Brother Mu is busy. When Brother Mu is free, he will come back to see you immediately, okay?”
" But Xin-er can't bear to part with Brother Mu." Xun Xin cried her heart out. Mu Ge was her favorite playmate. Not only was he especially good to her, but he also told her fairy tales that she had never heard of before every day. The little girl had long treated Mu Ge as a family member.
"Brother Mu can't bear to part with you either. How about this? If you want to see me, send a servant over to tell me.”Mu Ge said.
"Really? Brother Mu, don't lie to Xiner." The little girl's eyes began to regain some hope.
"Of course, we'll pinky swear." Mu Ge raised his pinky and raised an eyebrow at her. The little girl was finally happy.
" Hang yourself with a hook and don't change your mind for a hundred years." Xun Xin memorized the hook that Mu Ge had once taught her. Even after Mu Ge left, she still stood at the door and refused to leave. She stared blankly at the shadow of Mu Ge's carriage for a very long time.
Mu Ge moved to a new residence. It was a rather large mansion with the words 'Mu Residence' written on it. This was Mu Ge's first property in the Eastern Han.
Xiuyan and the servant girls that Xun Yu had given Mu Ge were busy settling the new house. Mu Ge wanted to help, but Xiuyan and the servant girls quickly refused. How could they ask their master to help them?
Mu Ge inspected the manor and found that it was quite good. The main hall, the side hall, the back hall, and the garden and small lake could be considered a good place.
