Back at the Military Advisor's Mansion, Zhuyin could finally ask Su Pingjiang why he was angry. This question made her uncomfortable. After hearing He Ran explain the reason, she shook her head in confusion and said: "You are right, he
It’s just that the vision is too narrow, and there is only Nanqi in my eyes and heart, so my thinking will inevitably be biased.”
After talking about Su Pingjiang's matter, Zhuyin asked with a smile: "Just now, all my colleagues expressed their opinions, but you didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. What kind of mystery is this?"
"There's nothing mysterious about it. Just think quietly. I've heard everything they said. There's nothing to adopt."
Zhuyin said mockingly with eyes: "Are you worried about Miss Ninth of yours? I think you have a relapse of your old illness, and you must have developed a pity for her."
He Ran smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm not too worried about her affairs. I just have to ask Pingjiang to agree to it. We have to make a lot of preparations for the marriage. In a few days, the war between us and Zhao will begin.
, then naturally this marriage can no longer be mentioned."
"So that's what you planned. I thought you were worried about it."
He Ran shook his head and said: "I am thinking about how to fight this battle. I want to give Zhao Min a trick."
"Really sending the army into the tiger's mouth? You have to plan for this. A slight mistake is not a joke." Zhuyin said worriedly.
"Well, I just know how to be cautious, so I keep thinking before and after." He said and lowered his head to look at the geographical map.
Seeing that he needed to meditate, Zhuyin gently stood up and went out. He whispered to Xiao Lai Xiao Chue who was busy outside: "Be gentle with your hands and don't make any noise to disturb his thoughts."
Xiao Lai glanced at the door with disdain and whispered: "I don't think he is smarter than Madam. Why doesn't Madam help him think about it?"
Zhuyin smiled slightly and said: "Your flattery skills are improving day by day, but I have to tell you that he is not a little better than me, and he is both smart and wise. You just know it in your heart, but don't take this
If you tell him, then we have to see his smug face again." Then he led them outside.
Xiao Qu was very unconvinced and felt that Madam's words were too discouraging, so he curled his lips towards the door in disapproval.
At dinner time, when Zhuyin came back, he happened to meet He Ran walking out.
"I was just about to ask if I would bring you food, and you came out."
He Ran said: "Save some food for the family, I will go to Xu Tong's place to eat."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's go after eating. If someone has already finished eating, do you have the nerve to let them prepare it?"
"If we don't reach an agreement as soon as possible, it will be unreliable. Yi Bu will have to press him early tomorrow morning. He is holding the flag of justice right now. We can't let the bad reputation of shirk fall into place."
"Okay, you go." Zhuyin is not a mother-in-law, so even if he is starved, it is not a big deal, so he readily gets out of the way.
It was already late at night when He Ran came back. After taking a sip of tea, he said to Xiao Lai, "Bring me some cakes. I'm hungry."
Zhuyin laughed and said: "How can you still starve yourself? Such a thick skin is really in vain. Even if you catch up with others and finish eating, you should have a mouthful of food."
"Guang Gu was talking about something and I didn't feel hungry. I only felt it when I entered the house."
Zhuyin took the pastry brought in by Xiao Lai and ordered, "Go and have a rest." After placing the food trays on the counters, he asked, "How was the discussion?"
He Ran stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth and said vaguely: "It's almost done. I'll go talk to Ping Jiang tomorrow morning."
Zhuyin was afraid that he would choke, so she stopped asking questions, poured tea and watched him eat quietly.
"I really should... really should discuss this with Shirou before I feel at ease. But you... you know what he is like, and I can't make things difficult for him."
Zhuyin smiled and stopped him: "Okay, okay, let's talk after eating. After all, he is a very humane minister. He still talks after eating a mouthful of food. He really has no etiquette at all."
He Ran didn't choke on the cake but choked on her words.
After eating a few pieces of pastries, he stretched out contentedly and said, "Okay, let's wash up and go to bed."
Zhuyin asked: "What strategy did you come up with?"
He Ran picked up the teacup and said, "I wanted to say it just now but you wouldn't let me say it. Now I don't want to say it anymore. I'm sleepy."
Zhuyin smiled and pretended to be angry, pinched his ears and said: "Do you want me to relieve you first, and wait until you feel more energetic?"
He Ran laughed and hugged her, "It's better to get on the bed and find other ways to help me out of trouble. I'll tell you if you can cheer me up."
As a result, He Ran explained everything not long after he got on the bed. Not to mention that he was not sleepy, even if he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, Zhuyin could immediately make him become powerful and powerful. Zhuyin was not only exquisite and had a sweet heart, he could learn anything.
He was able to draw inferences from one instance, and was straightforward by nature. He never held back when he should let go, and he was charming in all kinds of ways when he needed to hold back. Faced with such a beauty, He Ran had no chance of winning on the couch.
Entering the palace early in the morning, He Ran was halfway through discussing with Su Pingjiang when the chamberlain came to report that the envoy of the State of Zhao Yibu asked for an audience.
"Let him wait." He Ran looked at Su Pingjiang.
Su Pingjiang hesitated for a moment and said: "No need, since you and Xu Tong have discussed it, just tell him directly. I can rest assured about what you have decided."
After Yibu came in and saluted, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive the sins of the foreign ministers. It is only because the capital is in crisis that no delay can be tolerated, so the foreign ministers have to ask anxiously. My king is eagerly waiting for news."
"I can understand, let the military advisor tell you." Su Pingjiang smiled and gave him a seat.
After he sat down at the table, He Ran said solemnly: "Sending troops for an expedition is a major matter related to the security of the country. It cannot be decided in a moment. But the emperor is in trouble, how can we dare to hesitate? Therefore, our country is in an emergency."
We will move forward and select the best troops to rush to the imperial capital. However, although your country supplies military supplies along the way, it will take several days to mobilize and prepare the army for a long journey. This boss should know."
Yibu said with great joy: "Of course, five days is enough? Your Majesty and his military advisors are so sincere in guarding justice and protecting the country. It is a blessing to the world and a blessing to the emperor. The people at home and abroad should appreciate the loyalty of our king and ministers!"
"That's too much praise. The Emperor is in trouble. We should risk our lives to rescue our subjects. It's just our duty. Five days is enough. I wonder if King Zhao has planned a marching route for us."
Yibu replied: "We have prepared it. This won't bother the military advisor." He took out a geographical map from his arms and handed it over.
He Ran carefully looked at the route marked on the map and pretended to be puzzled: "It's different from the path we took before. Why did we take a detour as soon as we entered the country? The military is urgent, so we should take a shortcut."
Yibu came closer and pointed at the picture and said helplessly: "The military advisor is unaware that this area has recently been infested with giant bandits. Not only are these people large in number, they are also desperadoes. They have reached the point where they dare to break into the city and plunder. Naturally, they are
I dare not touch the power of your elite masters, but my king is worried that they will steal the materials prepared for your army, so I have no choice but to choose a way to bypass them."
"Oh..." He Ran frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the delay.
Yibu was afraid that he would make excuses to avoid sending troops, so he explained repeatedly: "It's only less than two days' journey longer. The troops and horses we have recruited again are all rushing to the capital. We should be able to contain Xiping's offensive and bypass this point."
The road should not miss anything important."
He Ran nodded and said worriedly: "As my son-in-law, I really want to thank King Zhao. Please go back and express your gratitude to me and my wife. If the siege of the capital can be solved, my husband and I will never be together again."
Forget the great kindness and virtue." After saying that, he stood up and bowed solemnly in the direction of Dingyang.
Yibu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The military advisor is serious. It is the duty of all the princes to protect the emperor. How dare my king take credit for this and lead the military advisor to thank him? I don't know how many troops the military advisor can send, and who will lead the army. I
The king is well aware that military advisors work hard, but he still hopes that military advisors can personally conduct the expedition. If military advisors take charge of the overall situation, the lives of the traitors in Xiping will be at stake!"
He Ran smiled faintly and said: "For Wang Zhao's sake, the strength is tentatively set at 10,000. Reinforcements will be sent in a few days. As for the person to lead the troops... we haven't made a final decision yet." He smiled bitterly as he spoke.
After a while, he said, "To be honest, sir, I was really fed up with the last alliance to attack Xiping. We have been marching all the way for more than a month, and thinking about it makes my mouth taste bitter."
Yibupei smiled and said: "Yes, yes, this crime is enough, but the able ones work harder. This has always been the case. There is no way to do this justice. Our king has said that we dare not force it. Everything is decided by the king and the military advisor."
"
"Okay, we can decide who will lead the troops in a day or two. Sir, please go back and take orders first. We will send a horse to inform you as soon as we decide."
Yibu said happily: "This is very good, but I don't know how the old minister will respond to the marriage issue when he returns home. I would also like to ask your Majesty and the military advisor for instructions."
He Ran said: "Thank you very much, King Zhao, for your kindness. Of course we are happy to obey. Zhao Yi has a covenant before, and now we have another in-law. We will immediately start preparing for the marriage. The ceremony officer will then go to Dingyang."
Yibu raised his eyebrows with joy and said: "Okay, okay, this trip has gone smoothly for me. Thank you, the king, and the military advisor. I will go back and resume my life now."
After sending Yibu away, Su Pingjiang said uneasily: "Don't let me do this marriage in a sloppy manner, otherwise you will have to explain it to Li'er! If she is really angry, you have to let me do it once.
Bitter meat scheme.”
"You won't really give me a beating, will you?"
Su Pingjiang snorted and said: "With your temper, if I really blame you, you will probably go to the grassland to find your sworn brother and never come back."
He Ran smiled and said: "What kind of person am I? Your Majesty has treated me with great kindness. How could I just leave? Uh... you won't really hit me, will you?"
Su Pingjiang smiled and said: "If I really beat you, let alone others, my sister will have to come to me to fight for her life. Can you bear the demotion and salary?"
He Ran chuckled and said: "The lower the level, the better. I just have a good time."
Su Pingjiang put away his smile and said: "It's best not to get to this point. I'm making plans for the concubine. I don't want the Su family's bloodline to die on my own. Give me some time."
He Ran also straightened his expression and said: "You and I are just like brothers. I will never make it difficult for you. Since you have a plan in your heart, I won't care about it. However, my sister is urging this matter, so don't delay for too long.
, then it will be difficult for me to explain to her."
Su Pingjiang shook his hand gratefully and said, "Well, you won't lead the troops this time. Although I just heard you briefly say something, I can also see that it is extremely dangerous. Not all things involved in danger can be avoided."
Let you do it alone."
He Ran showed an enigmatic smile and said: "Don't worry about using the army. Go find your wife. She should have heard about the marriage. I guess you are busy."
Su Pingjiang shook his head sadly and said: "Okay, I'm going to find out what she says. You have to carefully consider who leads the troops. If you insist on going, then you have to give me an explanation that I agree with, otherwise I will
No agreement."
