After the dinner, He Ran and Zhuyin came to Mingxiang Garden.
When they sat down to drink tea, Zhuyin asked softly: "What happened?"
He Ran nodded and said: "Zhao Min and the newly appointed military advisor Jing Huan should not be underestimated. I guess they have seen through our intention to marry with Fan Bang, so they deliberately delayed it to prevent us from taking the road to Fan Realm."
Zhuyin pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Fortunately, you have many clever ideas. The emissaries we secretly sent earlier should have met King Fan by now. It is estimated that flying pigeons will send messages in the next two days, and they will see through the deception trick.
It’s no big deal.”
He Ran slowly shook his head and said: "This matter should not be taken lightly. In the current situation, whoever forms an alliance with the foreign countries can dominate the southeast of the world. Zhao Min and Jing Hui are not ordinary people, so we should work harder
Be careful, there is no room for error in this matter, otherwise we will be in danger of overthrowing the country."
Zhuyin understood the truth well, frowned slightly, and said: "The worst thing is that we are not bordering the foreign countries, so it is inconvenient to communicate with each other, and we can't use our strength. But fortunately, we took a step forward and have a personal letter from Princess Bei.
Prince Fan should agree to this marriage."
He Ran stood up, walked to the window and blew in the warm wind. After a long time, he turned around and said firmly: "Life or death depends on this marriage. You must prepare with all the ministers. For this marriage, we will
We may start a war with Zhao at any time."
"Is it so serious?" Zhuyin was a little uneasy, thought for a moment, and said, "You are right, I will go back tomorrow."
"I'll go back with you."
Seeing that He Ran's face was very calm, Zhuyin was a little worried. His habits were already clear to Zhuyin. The bigger things got, the more this person seemed to be okay. If he made a fuss or screamed,
, then there must be nothing wrong. If he is willing to leave Cangxian Valley on his own initiative, it means that the situation is extremely urgent.
"Oh, the war is about to start again, and you have just rested for a while." Zhuyin walked to him and said sadly. She was the one who usually scolded He Ran the most for not trying to make progress, but he was really going to fight, and she was the most worried.
It's her too.
He Ran pinched her delicate cheek and said with a smile: "Then try not to start a war, but... you have to allow me to take a little risk."
"Then let's start a war." Zhuyin rolled her eyes at him and said simply, then walked to the mirror and took off the hairpin ring.
He Ran was choked for a while, then he leaned over and said, "How can I be like you? Why don't you ask me what risks I am taking?"
Zhuyin looked at Linghua and curled his lips, saying: "I don't know what you are? I still don't know how brave you are, but I still can't figure it out. What you say is risky, and I know it even without asking.
It's definitely more dangerous than going to war."
He Ran originally accompanied Smiley Face, but after hearing this, he realized that coaxing was of no use, so he simply put away Smiley Face and snorted: "I am bold and careful, and I act after making decisions. In the eyes of others, it is extremely dangerous.
But it seems to me that I have it all under control!”
Zhuyin looked at him from the mirror and said calmly: "Then you tell me and let me see what you are going to do by 'taking a little risk'."
He Ran immediately put on a smile on his face, knelt down next to her and pulled out the hairpin for her. While gently pulling her hair into a bun, he pretended to be casual and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to go to Dingyang.
…….”
"No need to say it!" Zhuyin stopped him flatly, turned her face and glared at him and scolded: "This is called 'nothing'?! He Ran, please listen to me, don't even think about this!"
He Ran complained in a low voice: "Look, why are you so anxious? Didn't I just say that what others think is extremely dangerous is mine..."
"It's all under control, right?! That's all. There's no need to discuss this matter. I'm not as capable as you, but you can't control this matter. Even if you say that there are thousands of truths in breaking the sky, I won't let you go.
!" Seeing He Ran's depressed look, Zhuyin slowed down and said: "Don't think you are the only smart person in the world. Didn't you also say that Zhao Min and Jing Hu should not be underestimated? People's hearts are unpredictable. Do you think you can predict it?
How can things be so accurate? What you want to do is a matter of life and death. You are willing to go to war to form an alliance with the foreign countries. Don't Zhao Min and the others see the importance of the foreign countries? I dare say that they are also ready to go to war with us at any time.
, you jump into someone else's trap at this time, do you think I can let you go?"
He Ran said angrily: "Do you think I'm stupid? You don't know how greedy and afraid of death I am. Isn't this what I am forced to do? If there is a better way, why would I take my own life?
Make a bet."
Zhuyin asked in confusion: "Hasn't the secret envoy been sent out a long time ago? What does it mean to be forced into this?"
He Ran sighed and said: "If we are sent out, we are sent out. It's hard to tell if we can't come back. Now that Zhao Min has seen through our intentions, he will definitely ask the border customs to strictly check the people going to Fanbang and even not allow anyone to leave the customs.
Maybe soon they will think a little deeper, and think that we may have sent a secret envoy in advance, then they will simply close the pass. The people we sent will never come back, and they will not get a personal letter from King Fan agreeing to the marriage.
, then there are infinite variables. The reason why I want to go to Dingyang is to use my deception to make Zhao Min believe that I am really anxious, so that he will not be too suspicious of others."
"Perhaps they have thought deeper. Perhaps the border has been closed. Wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to go and fall into a trap?" Zhuyin curled his lips and said.
"You're right, it's possible, but we don't have time to find out now. Now is the most critical moment. If they haven't thought of our move of sending an emissary in advance, then I can disrupt them by going.
With your mind at ease, the emissary may be able to come back smoothly."
"Even if you get Prince Fan's letter of prospective marriage, as long as we haven't gotten married yet, the matter won't be considered a certainty, so it's not worth risking your life."
He Ran nodded and said: "It is true what you said, but the marriage is too important to us. We have to work very hard to have any hope. The situation is no longer what it used to be. Mo Ju lost power and we lost Kang Guo.
Our most powerful ally, the State of Zhao, has already entered into an alliance with the treacherous party of the State of Kang. We have no advantage at all. If this continues, we will have to rely on the State of Zhao. If the State of Zhao wants to attack us, all we need is to shun the state.
Just give me a wink, and Shun Guo will rush over like a mad dog. Although Zhao and Shun Guo have suffered repeated losses, they are still alive. Under attack from two sides, we have no chance of winning. Don’t forget.
, we still have internal worries. Not long after the New Deal was implemented, turmoil continued, the people's hearts were not stable, and the evil still persisted. When a powerful enemy attacks, the internal worries will turn into internal troubles, and I am afraid that the war will be chaotic before it even starts. This war is not going to happen at all.
Law fight."
Of course, Zhuyin also knew the critical nature of the current situation, so he frowned and said nothing.
