After marching for more than ten days, the returning army approached the country of Xiang. Dots of green were already visible on the grass. The soldiers took off the fur coats provided by their foreign countries and became more and more cheerful.
Xiao Xiao looked back at the depths of the grassland from his horse, and said softly: "I don't know how happy it is to jump on the horse grassland when the flowers are blooming everywhere."
He Ran smiled and said, "It's not a difficult task. We'll just come back when nothing happens here."
"When will things here be finished?" Xiao Xiao glanced at him after asking, knowing that he couldn't answer, so he rode forward sadly.
Mingqin Chaduo was even more reluctant to leave the grassland. She dismounted her horse and knelt down to worship the great god Guan Li, and then she turned back step by step towards the unknown Central Plains. The gradually changing scenery in front of her made her feel novel and at the same time made her feel inexplicably flustered.
What she was really uneasy about was He Ran's wives and concubines. If she had a choice, she hoped to stay in Geqiong, which was the happiest time in her life.
Xiao Xiao saw her uneasiness and walked alongside her, whispering to her about the peerless beauties in the Cangxian Valley. Although Mingqin Chaduo could not speak fluently in the Central Plains dialect, she usually
The communication was no longer serious, and Xiao Xiao's words made her feel a little more at ease.
Before they entered the territory of Xiang State, the Grand Administrator of Qi State came up to him and secretly said, Qi and Xiang are still showing off to Zhao State, so it is inconvenient for the King of Qi to come to the border of Xiang State to greet him. Please forgive me for your sins.
He also implored the two of them to go to Qi State.
Qi Guoliguo He Ran was not able to attend the ceremony. He should have gone this time, but his heart had already flown back to the Cangxian Valley. He could not delay for a moment. He said that he had important matters to rush back to deal with, so he refused.
At the invitation of the king, the previously borrowed army was handed over to the Qi State Dazai. The Dazai originally thought that more than half of the soldiers would be lost, but he did not want to reduce the number to less than 10% including death from illness, so he was very happy in his heart.
After asking that Commander Xu was stationed at the Qi-Xiang border and pretending to mediate, Xiao Xiao said to He Ran: "Since it's fake, it's better to do it more realistically. It would be unreasonable if we don't go over to take a look when we come back. You can go back."
I'll go there."
He Ran sighed softly, pulled her aside and said: "Since I learned that you were leaving that small tent, I guessed that you still don't want to go back to Cangxian Valley with me this time. Don't you want to go?"
Xiao Xiao looked at him affectionately and asked, "You won't force me again, will you?"
He Ran smiled helplessly and said: "Yes, I will come to see you after a while. You can go back whenever you want. I won't force you."
Xiao Xiao smiled knowingly and said mischievously: "What if I never want to go back in my whole life?" This happy time on the grassland changed their mentality.
"Then I will run around like this all my life until I can't run anymore."
Xiao Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, leaving him to say goodbye to Mingqin Chaduo. When Mingqin Chaduo heard that she would not go to Cangxian Valley, Fangxin immediately panicked again. Xiao Xiao comforted her for a while before giving her order.
The soldiers of the army changed their route to the Qi-Xiang border.
The most unhappy one was Xiao Ling. She was first ordered to hand over a cart full of packages to Zhong Zong for safekeeping. They were all gifts bought by Xiao Xiao for everyone. Then she took out a few bags of shells and gave them to He Ran, and said with a depressed look.
"Stop bumping into each other, you have to give it to Sister Xiaozhu and the others fairly when you go back." He got angry and scolded: "Why are you so useless? Why are you so useless in front of her when you are so capable? I thought this time
You must be able to go to Zangxian Valley."
He Ran smiled bitterly and said: "You still don't know who she is? I really can't deal with her."
Xiao Ling knew that he was not to blame for this, so she sighed and said, "My life is miserable. You should think of more ways, even if you just trick her into living there for a few days."
"You don't need to tell me this, just take care of it for me."
Xiaoling had a smile on her face and looked at him and nodded vigorously.
As they approached the new capital of King Xiang, Chen Min went thirty miles out of the city to meet him. Originally, he was going to go out a hundred miles, but he heard that King Feng had temporarily changed his route and was unable to come, so he had to change his route to thirty miles.
After handing back the borrowed troops, He Ran didn't even want to enter the city, but Chen Min whispered in his ear: "Shun Guo sent a secret envoy a few days ago, saying that their general Bao Baobo wanted to invite military advisor Yu Gunlong
A secret meeting by the river."
He Ran frowned slightly, feeling really bored in his heart. What he was bored about was not the White House blog but the timing he had chosen. It would have delayed how many days, but he had to go to this secret meeting. Yi and Shun had joined forces.
It was imperative that even if the White House Bo didn't come to meet with He Ran, he was still thinking about how to meet him. It seemed that the heroes had the same idea, so he had no choice but to suppress his desire to go home.
After entering the city, he immediately summoned the secret envoy and agreed on the meeting place on the Xiangguo side. When the secret envoy heard him tell the date of the meeting, he couldn't help but frowned and counted the days. After hearing the report, the general had to rush there.
He wanted to postpone it for a few days, but He Ran firmly refused.
After the emissary left, He Ran only stayed in the new capital for two days before heading to Gunlong River in disguise. All the personal guards also changed into their military uniforms, and the remaining 7,000 troops were stationed outside the city, announcing that the military advisor was stationed in the new capital.
We are close to each other, and we want to mediate between the two countries.
This journey was very leisurely. He Ran accompanied Mingqin Chaduo to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and when he encountered a large town, he went to have a stroll. Everything Mingqin Chaduo saw was fresh, and he temporarily forgot about the worries of the future. He was like a flower.
The beautiful face bloomed with a mesmerizing smile.
On this day, he came to Anliu, a small town by the river. The guard here was his old subordinate. He Ran sent Zhong Zong to contact him privately and ordered him to prepare a big ship and fly three flags of red, yellow and white on the ship's mast to keep it secret.
, he didn’t even enter the city, but climbed a hill to watch the scenery along the river with Mingqin Chaduo for a while, and then went down the mountain to board the boat when the boat was ready.
It was Mingqin Chaduo's first time on a boat. When she first got on the boat, she was frightened by the slight shaking. After a while, she gradually got used to it before she dared to lean on the railing and look at the water. Soon she became bolder again and whispered her congratulations.
Ran said: "Why haven't you sailed yet?"
He Ran had been looking at her, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard her asking: "Aren't you scared anymore?"
Mingqin Chaduo pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm still a little scared, but I'm getting better."
He Ran gently smoothed her hair on the temples and said: "This boat cannot sail, but if you are not afraid, I will let them row in a circle for a while."
Mingqin Chaduo looked at him lovingly and said, "You treat me so well."
He Ran smiled and held her hand, and ordered the boat to cruise nearby.
As soon as the boat moved, Mingqinchaduo let out a sweet cry and hugged He Ran's arm tightly, making Heran laugh again. It only took a while for Mingqinchaduo to adapt to it, and her mouth and eyebrows were full of joy, enjoying this beauty.
The amazing feeling of walking on water.
He Ran looked at the center of the river from time to time. Not long after, a small boat came by. As he got closer, He Ran saw clearly that it was White House Bo who was standing on the bow of the boat. He gave the order to dock, slowly got off the boat and stood on the shore to greet him.
.
After the boat docked, White House Bo jumped out, showed a rare smile to He Ran and said with his hands, "After all these years, the military advisor's demeanor is even better than before."
He Ran laughed and returned the gift, pointed at him with his hand as if he were an old friend reunited, and said with emotion: "To be honest, General, I really miss you since we parted ways with Zhao."
Bai Guangbo laughed and said: "You must be thinking about my head." He was a serious person, but when he met He Ran, he couldn't help but laugh.
He Ran smiled even more happily, and led him to the ship hand in hand. The guards who were on guard all around were relieved when they saw that Bai Baibo did not bring any guards. Zhong Zong ordered them to retreat, while he and Yun Ye climbed aboard.
Ship guard.
After boarding the ship, White House Bo saw Mingqin Chaduo at a glance. He was so surprised that he hurriedly asked: "This is..."
He Ran introduced: "This is my younger brother Jing's wife."
Of course, White House Bo knew that He Ran's wife was Princess Zhuyin. Hearing him call her his wife, he couldn't help but feel suspicious, but he couldn't ask more questions, so he had to meet her as a bride.
Mingqin Chaduo had always regarded herself as He Ran's concubine, but now she couldn't help but feel panicked when she heard him introduce it to outsiders. She was already familiar with the etiquette of the Central Plains, but she didn't dare to go back to pay homage to the royal family. She was at a loss and had an idea.
I would like to thank you in return with the courtesy of a foreign country.
He Ran saw her embarrassment, smiled and asked her to go to the cabin to rest, and then asked the personal guards who were standing inside the ship to get down. Yun Ye and Zhong Zong still had to stay, otherwise White House Bo Neng would kill them in the blink of an eye.
he.
After everyone left, he held up the wine bottle and said, "Brother Bai is very courageous. Just by attending the meeting alone, I am impressed. Come here, I respect Brother Bai."
White House Bo smiled faintly, raised the wine bottle and said: "Brother He is overly praised. It is precisely because of Brother He's extraordinary knowledge that I have the courage. When it comes to courage, I am willing to be inferior. The courage of your mission to Zhao Guo is better than that of me alone."
Going to a meeting is much bigger, and I know that."
He Ran chuckled and said: "In front of others, I dare to use this as a capital to brag, but in front of Brother Bai, it's not worth showing off."
After the White House had a drink with him, he said: "On the contrary, those who don't understand the mystery will feel that the mission is ordinary no matter how much they explain it. Those who understand the mystery will feel frightened and ashamed without saying much."
"I feel embarrassed for your praise. Come on, my brother and I will drink another bottle together sincerely for you."
The White House Expo nodded heartily and said: "It's really easy to work with you. No need to say nonsense. It's refreshing. Let's drink together!" After drinking, he raised the third bottle of wine and said: "I will use this bottle of wine to congratulate you.
You return in triumph, the grassland that was originally falling apart was so lightly and skillfully made calm by you. To be honest, I never expected that many of my previous plans fell into vain. Alas, although
I’m not willing to give in, but I have to be convinced.”
"Come on, you're praising me again. That move you made halfway was so cruel, it caused us to fail. I was so angry that I almost vomited blood."
White House Bo laughed, then frowned and said: "There is still something unclear in my mind, I wonder if Brother He can give me some advice.
"Brother Bai, you're being polite. If you have anything to say, feel free to tell me. I will tell you everything I know."
White House laughed and said: "Jing Huan hurriedly retreated shortly after entering the grassland. What happened? I have always been confused about this matter. Did you scare him away or beat him away?"
