He Ran met Qi Lan in the mansion where he lived. The uncle Jing'an came in wearing a veil, but he immediately took off the veil when he saw He Ran. He obviously felt that this military advisor of the Yi State would not be like King Shunde.
He has a good temperament and pays homage respectfully to his subordinates.
He Ran was quite satisfied with Qi Lan's sensible behavior, and smiled and let him sit down. Qi Lan was less than forty years old, tall and tall, with a scar on his purple face, a lion's nose, a wide mouth, and a thick beard.
Jiujiu has two thin lips like a man, and a pair of leopard eyes that are very flexible, showing his wise side.
Before He Ran could speak, he explained: "It is disrespectful to the military advisor for Qi Lan to come in wearing a veil. Please forgive the military advisor. It's just because the people's sentiments in the country are fluctuating, and there are still many stubborn people who don't understand the general situation.
In order to submit to the country, I have to make some gestures. The military advisor is a wise man and I hope you can understand my plight."
He Ran smiled faintly and said: "I wonder how long you will keep doing this gesture. Is it March or May, a year and a half, ten or eight years, or will you keep doing this forever?"
Qi Lan felt guilty because of his smile. He quickly stood up and bowed and said: "It all depends on the arrangement of the military advisor. I will only obey the military advisor's instructions."
He Ran said coldly: "I'm afraid your gesture is not just for your subjects. You should also have thought about the mood of Chen Min's subjects after knowing your move, right? He is also unsettled.
It seems you have great ambitions."
Qi Lan's heart trembled. Not only was this young military advisor's eyes sharp, but his words were sharper than he expected. At this moment, he didn't dare to have any luck, let alone any scheming. He said with sincerity and fear: "I will never be like this."
My heart, I have long heard that military advisors are the most intelligent in the world. How dare you have such crooked thoughts in front of military advisors? It’s just a villain who is stupid. If you think about it carefully, this is what the military advisor said. I don’t dare to wear this veil anymore. Please
Military advisor, please forgive me."
He Ran snorted and said: "Whether you are really confused or you are pretending to be confused, this matter is over. I don't want to pursue it anymore, but if this happens again in the future, you have to be careful."
Qi Lan felt a chill down his back and said repeatedly: "Thank you, military advisor. Thank you, military advisor. It won't happen again next time. It won't happen again."
"Sit down." He Ran waited for him to sit down and said calmly: "I can see that you are a sensible person, so I won't waste too much words. You should also prepare to establish a country when you go back. With the support of Yi State, Chen Min will not
If I dare to touch you, I don’t need to teach you what to do in the future.”
Qi Lan hurriedly stood up and saluted repeatedly. He couldn't hold back his joy and said: "Thank you, Military Advisor! Thank you, Military Advisor! Qi Lan will always remember the great kindness of Military Advisor!" He was a sensible person. He had already seen the current situation clearly and guessed what Yi Guo wanted.
He wanted to use himself to contain Chen Min's intention. Even though he was being used, it was a great joy for him. At least he had the opportunity to take sides. How he develops in the future depends on his own destiny. When Yi Guo was founded,
Aren't there only three cities? I am much stronger now than the Yi State at that time.
"You don't need to thank me. This is the king's wish. You can weigh it yourself when it comes to establishing the country. I suggest you keep everything simple and make preparations as soon as you return. If it is not far away from Chen Min's founding of the country, the king can come with him this time.
Go and have a look over there, you may also know something about the king's temperament. If you choose another day, it's hard to say whether the king will be able to come."
"Yes, yes, I understand that I will prepare immediately after returning and will never keep the king and military advisor waiting for a long time."
"The stubborn people in your territory won't get in the way, right?"
Qi Lan looked embarrassed and said, "I just want to find a way to appease them."
"That's good. I'll ask Duke Xiang to come over later and clearly define the boundaries between you. If any of you cause trouble over the boundaries in the future, it will be a slap in my face."
"Don't dare! Please rest assured, military advisor. Even if I die, I will not dare to disobey the military advisor."
"Someone will talk to you in detail about the annual coin tribute and other matters. I won't care about it. Your Majesty is kind and kind and will not embarrass you. After the founding of the country, you can govern the place with peace of mind. If anything happens, the Majesty will do justice for you.
.”
After thanking everyone for their gratitude, He Ran ordered someone to invite Chen Min to come and draw a boundary along the mountains and rivers in front of the two of them. This was just a rough outline. The specific boundary would need to be carefully mapped out and discussed by the three parties along the way.
It's not a big problem anymore.
Major matters were agreed upon, and Qi Lan was eager to go back to prepare for the founding of the country. He Ran encouraged and lectured him and let him go back.
After leaving Andu, Qi Lan rode hard all the way, and did not slow down until he entered his own territory. Ke Jiang, his sworn brother who was traveling with him, finally had a chance to ask questions. He came to him and asked in a low voice: "Why are you walking all the way, eldest brother?"
In such a hurry, could it be that He Ran..."
Qi Lan quickly waved his hand, "Don't be disrespectful to the military advisor!"
Ke Jiang said with a smile: "I finally met him, but he is just a stinking baby. Why is my elder brother so scared by him?"
Qi Lan glared at him and said, "Be careful with your words. I won't forgive you if you use disrespectful words again!" After that, he looked back, breathed a long sigh of relief, and whispered: "You must be very careful.
Don't judge a book by its appearance. This boy is the most difficult person I have ever encountered. He is even more difficult to deal with than those cunning ones. I was in a cold sweat during the conversation in the hall. I was walking in such a hurry just to avoid him as far away as possible.
Alas, my brother has never been so afraid of a person. In fact, thinking about it, he didn’t really say anything. I don’t know why I felt panicked when I looked at him. We can’t afford to offend this person."
Ke Jiang looked at him in frustration and said: "Brother, what's wrong? He is just a kid in his twenties. Even if he started learning as soon as he was born, his knowledge will be limited. Brother, why..., this is not like my brother.
As a human being."
Qi Lan shook his head slightly and said: "I would rather deal with the evil ghost than him. I think he can see through me at a glance. This person is not a mortal. There may be something to the reincarnation of evil stars. We will talk about it later.
Respect me when it comes to him. You know my courage. How could I be like this if I wasn't really afraid?"
Ke Jiang saw that he was solemn and did not dare to disobey, so he nodded reluctantly, but he was very dissatisfied. In his opinion, this Yi Guo military advisor was too young, not young enough to inspire awe in people, and the eldest brother was really frightened.
Be brave.
At this point, the layout of this area has been settled, and He Ran feels very satisfied. At first, he was a little worried about the veiled Qi Lan, but after meeting and talking, this Qi Lan made him more relieved than Chen Min, just like Shi Lang
I mean, these people had better be smart. When they are smart, they know what they should do and what they shouldn't do. As long as Yi State maintains its relative advantage, the two kings of the vassal country will not dare to have any wrong ideas, especially this one.
Qi Lan, the country is small to begin with, so it is a good thing that he is smarter than Chen Min. Only in this way can the restraint effect be obvious.
