Chapter Three Returning to the Court and Restoring the Purpose
After meeting with the White House blogger, He Ran looked at the Gunlong River and had a new idea. He didn't want to go back to Xindu anymore. He wanted to take a boat along the river, which was not only easy but also fast.
Yun Ye and Zhong Zhen were worried about encountering the Shunguo Navy and strongly opposed it, but how could they stop He Ran?
Although this ship was large, it could only carry fifty people at most. He Ran sent the remaining guards back to the new capital to pick up the things left there and return to Yi State. There were a lot of things, not only the large ones Xiao Xiao bought
There were small packages of gifts, as well as many gifts for He Ran from various countries, enough to fill two large cars.
Boating along the current, accompanied by the spring breeze, this exhilaration made Mingqin Chaduo and the four maids get enough of the boat ride. They didn't go back to the warehouse all day long and leaned on the railings to look at the various novel scenery and exclaimed and laughed from time to time. The guards
Then they took turns looking nervously and anxiously to see if there was any sign of Shunguo's navy.
He Ran was very surprised as to why none of the five of them got seasick. After much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out. He could only guess that maybe it was because they were used to being bumpy immediately. Whether this was the case was unknown.
That night we anchored in a large port, and all our guards went to the town to buy food.
Three days after the boat passed Wanglong City, two river patrol warships intercepted them. Mingqin Chaduo was greatly panicked when he saw the soldiers wielding swords, but Yunye and others laughed. They recognized that this was theirs.
Navy.
He Ran didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, so he said to Yun Ye: "If you go and send them away, just say that you have military orders to go to the royal city."
Yun Ye suggested: "It's better to let them escort you."
He Ran smiled and said: "No, Shun Guo Navy will never cross the river at this time. If they really capture us, I will have to ask King Shun for a large sum of money to make amends. Then we will make a fortune."
Already."
Yunye had no choice but to get on the bow of the ship and shout loudly to the generals on the two ships.
The navy general did not expect that General Fenyong would be on the ship, and he immediately became excited. He came over and asked when the military advisor would be back. Yunye was not good at lying and did not dare to say much. He gave a few perfunctory excuses and said that he had military affairs and did not dare to delay. Two ships
The warship immediately gave way to the waterway, escorted for a while along the way to show respect, and then sailed away.
Mingqin Chaduo hid aside and watched, then ran into the warehouse and asked He Ran in surprise: "Are these ships also taking orders from you?"
He Ran smiled and said: "You have never seen these things before, so you think it is unusual. Two ships are nothing. I am the military advisor, and the navy will naturally obey my orders. I will bring you here when you have free time."
It will be an eye-opener for you to watch the navy drills, with large and small ships moving across the water and forming formations for safekeeping.”
Mingqin Chaduo said happily: "Okay!" But then he said timidly: "You don't have to go out of your way to accompany me."
He Ran lifted her chin and said with pity: "Don't be so cautious all the time. Just do whatever you want and say what you want. No one will blame you for this. Your behavior makes me uneasy.
Already."
Mingqin Chaduo lowered his eyes and said, "I'm very scared."
"What are you afraid of?" He Ran asked softly.
Mingqin Chaduo whispered: "Afraid of losing, I understand what you said before."
He Ran kissed her gently on her glossy lips and said, "What words?"
Mingqin Chaduo shyly approached his arms and said softly: "I feel like I have tasted the feeling of being alive, so I am extremely afraid of losing it."
He Ran teased her lips with his hand and said: "Just keep your mind at ease, you will never lose what you have gained now, unless you stop looking down on me one day and treat me like stinking cow dung."
If you just throw it away, I won't be able to care about you anymore."
Mingqin Chaduo opened her mouth and took a bite on his finger.
Her bite didn't hurt, but He Ran blew the finger exaggeratedly and said, "Why are you women like this? You change when you ask."
Mingqin Chaduo said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! Why are you pretending? I didn't bite hard."
He Ran grabbed her delicate hand, brought it to his mouth and said, "I'll bite you without using any force, just to see if it hurts."
Mingqin Chaduo was used to playing with him. She stretched out her beautiful white index finger and looked at him with provocative eyes.
He Ran took the jade finger in his mouth and kissed it, and said: "I really can't bear to say it. I'll write down this account first and then settle it later in the evening."
Mingqin Chaduo blushed and ran outside to see the scenery again.
It took more than one day to reach the Hechuan Valley. After abandoning the ship and landing, the defenders here couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the military advisor. After hearing the news, the defenders hurriedly came to pay homage. When they saw the soldiers, they couldn't help shouting excitedly.
, Mingqin Chaduo was sincerely proud of He Ran, and at the same time she was extremely curious as to why everyone respected and loved him so much at such a young age.
After He Ran comforted the soldiers, he asked for horses and led people to the bell city.
There was no words all the way. When they arrived at Bell Ringing City, the soldiers guarding the city were also shocked. Su Pingjiang had just received the news when he entered the palace.
When they met in the palace, Su Pingjiang patted him hard, and complained with surprise and joy: "You don't take me seriously anymore. You don't send someone to report in advance when you come back. I still treat you like you."
It will take a few days to arrive, why are you walking so fast?"
"Let's call the Dazai and the Assistant Prime Minister first. I will explain the reason in detail later." He Ran said to Mingqin Chaduo, who looked confused: "Why are you still stunned? Come and see your Majesty."
Mingqin Chaduo was shocked to hear that the person who was slapping He Ran was King Yi, and she panicked and hurriedly paid homage to him.
Su Pingjiang looked at He Ran and said: "This is..."
He Ran chuckled and said: "This is the most beautiful beauty in the prairie, and I snatched her back."
Su Pingjiang hurriedly said: "Quickly excuse me."
Mingqin Chaduo was greatly embarrassed by He Ran's words, her pretty face turned red and she was at a loss.
Nan Qi came up and took her hand, looked at her and said, "She is indeed well-deserved. She is so beautiful that I am jealous."
Mingqin Chaduo was even more embarrassed, and the majesty of the royal power made her dare not move. Fortunately, Nanqi was very good at treating others, and her kind attitude and soft words gradually made her feel better.
He Ran gossiped about the foreign customs to Su Pingjiang. Not long after, Zhuyin walked into the palace quickly. When he saw He, he was overflowing with surprise. Su Pingjiang waved to her to show off, and then smiled and secretly pointed at the girl next to the guide.
Mingqin tea.
He Ran said dissatisfied: "You, the king, are really not serious."
Su Pingjiang laughed loudly, Zhuyin looked at Mingqin Chaduo attentively, and Mingqin Chaduo also looked at her attentively. Both of them couldn't help but be secretly surprised. After Zhuyin smiled at her, he turned to He Ran and said: "Congratulations, husband, for getting another
Good couple."
Su Pingjiang felt bored, but He Ran was very proud and said to Mingqin Chaduo: "This is Princess Zhuyin."
When Mingqin Chaduo learned that this beautiful woman was Princess Zhuyin, her heart sank and she felt ashamed. She had always been secretly proud of her beauty, but this Princess Zhuyin was by no means inferior to her in terms of appearance.
, the strongest one can't win, let alone the others. She has learned a lot about this princess from Xiao Xiao's mouth.
She stepped forward to greet her with awe, Zhuyin stretched out his hand to support her, and said with a sweet smile: "I don't dare to accept this. We should meet each other as sisters." After saying that, he turned to He Ran and said, "I will take care of her first.
Let her go back to the Military Advisor's Mansion to rest."
Mingqin Chaduo glanced at her gratefully. She didn't want to enter the palace in the first place, but He Ran forced her to come. She also understood that He Ran had good intentions. He probably wanted to use this to improve his status. Now
Zhuyin's proposal to send her out of the palace was in line with her wishes.
He Ran smiled and said: "Okay, just stay with her in the house. I will talk to you about the things here when I get back."
Zhuyin took Mingqin Chaduo and confessed to Su Pingjiang and Nanqiu, then looked at He Ran reluctantly, then held her hand affectionately and walked out.
After Su Ge came in, he finished the salute and patted He Ran as hard as Su Pingjiang did, and his words of complaint were similar.
Just as He Ran was about to start speaking, Nan Qi held up a bottle of wine and said, "The military advisor went on an expedition beyond the Great Wall. It took more than half a year of hard work. I would like to offer a bottle of wine to the military advisor on behalf of the king."
Su Pingjiang smiled and said: "She'er has thought it through and only blames you, forgetting your hard work. You are a person who has done nothing but thankless things. Just drink it."
He Ran bowed and took the wine bottle and said, "I thank the Queen for the gift." He straightened up and said, "I am absolutely not worthy of the word 'respect'. The queen should still say 'gift' from now on."
Su Pingjiang snorted and said: "Save it for me. There are no outsiders here. Whether it's 'gift' or 'respect', you should be virtuous or virtuous. Stop pretending to us and drink quickly."
."
He Ran drank it all in one gulp, and Nan Qi waited for him to finish the drink, then turned to Su Pingjiang and left the hall.
He Ran saw her taking the initiative to avoid it and nodded secretly in his heart. Su Pingjiang was very satisfied with Nan Qi's actions and gave He Ran a proud look.
When He Ran talked about things in Fanbang, Su Pingjiang was only interested in asking about special customs. After several years of pampering, he had no interest in political and military affairs. He Ran had no choice but to satisfy his curiosity. Military and political affairs
The secret discussion turned into a storytelling session.
After leaving the palace, He Ran said to Su Ge: "I'm so tired of what you said. It's so comfortable for him to be a king."
Su Ge sighed: "It will be easier for him when you come back. He won't even use Tokaichi. I always feel that this is not like it. You have to find a way to let him take charge."
"If there was a way, I would have thought of it a long time ago. Don't expect me to do this. Isn't it good now? Let him enjoy his leisure time."
Su Ge said angrily: "The king enjoys leisure, and you also enjoy leisure. Don't you think it's great? Do you know what kind of sin I suffer? I can't even sleep at all!"
He Ran said disdainfully: "You don't have to pour out your troubles to me. How can I enjoy my leisure time? What you said is too heartless. I just returned from an expedition and ran thousands of miles away to fight with my head in my hand. I have been away for more than half a year.
Is this called enjoying leisure time?”
Su Ge was choked and had nothing to say, and he said sarcastically: "I guess I said something wrong, but won't you enjoy your leisure time when you come back? You must have gone back to Zangxian Valley and didn't care about anything."
He Ran Deli said unsympathetically: "Oh, I've been through such a long period of bloody life, so I shouldn't take a break? Are you too cruel to be an elder brother?"
"Okay, okay, it's my fault again. Just rest. It's all my fault. Alas, do you know how troublesome your new policy is? I deserve to die from exhaustion." Su Ge knew that he couldn't talk to him, so he complained.
complained.
He Ran smiled and said: "I know this, but just get through this period and it will be fine. By then, if you want to take care of anything, I won't let you take care of it, and you can enjoy your leisure time."
"Survived this period? Do you think I can survive this?" Su Ge said angrily.
