Zhuyin had already heard the news and was waiting in the mansion. Because he was returning after a great victory, Su Pingjiang ordered the palace guards to beat gongs and drums as usual to escort the military advisor back to the palace to show his reward. Hundreds of officials accompanied him to congratulate him. There was a lot of excitement in front of the military advisor's palace.
.
Back in the house, Zhuyin covered her breasts and said, "It really scared me a few days ago. They sent warnings and mobilized troops. I just thought it was going to be dark. With God's blessing, everything is safe at last."
He Ran curled his lips and said in amusement: "My husband can fight like a god with soldiers, and there is nothing to be afraid of even if we fight. Zhao Min has understood this, so he doesn't dare to fight again. He has gained a big advantage."
"
Zhuyin giggled and threw herself into his arms, pinched his nose and asked: "To be honest, were you too scared at that time? You didn't expect it to be like that before. You can't fool me!"
He Ran nodded with lingering fear and said: "I almost lost all the money I have saved in the past few years. It's dangerous."
Because his nose was pinched, his tone was so funny that Zhuyin couldn't help laughing. He let go of his hand and said, "Zhao Min was frightened by your desperate posture? Why did he withdraw his troops and make peace?"
"This has always been strange in my mind. I always felt that he had other tricks, but I had no way of guessing. He did withdraw all his troops. It can be said that he withdrew them completely. He didn't seem to be worried at all about us entering the army again."
"We made a promise before the battle, so how can we send troops again for no reason? Of course he doesn't need to be on guard. We have sworn to keep our promise. Although we are brave in war, don't slander your reputation just because of the size of the territory." She said.
The emphasis on the word "we" naturally reminds him to respect the ethos of this era and not to act arbitrarily based on the style of the previous life.
He Ran lowered his voice and said: "I understand this, but I still think Zhao Min did this..." He shook his head and did not continue.
"Could it be that Xiping took the opportunity to use troops against them? In order to resist Xiping, Zhao Min had to make peace with us?" Zhuyin said, blinking his bright eyes.
"I thought of this at first, but if Xiping mobilizes troops, we should get the news before Zhao Min. No matter how fast a horse runs, it can't beat a pigeon. Even if the pigeon gets lost and doesn't get a reply for several days, the sentry over there in Xiping
We will also spread the news again. According to the time, the third group of flying pigeons will arrive, so they shouldn't all be lost."
Zhuyin made some calculations in his mind and said: "That's right. It has nothing to do with Xiping. I think you are overly concerned. Isn't it because Liu Guo and Zhao Guo are at odds with each other?"
He Ran smiled and waved his hands and said: "No, no, it definitely won't happen. At first, I thought that Zhao Min, seeing that there was nothing he could do here, might turn to the idea of a lone army and send troops to encircle and suppress White House Bo.
, but after waiting for so long and still not hearing any news, it’s not the case after all.”
Zhuyin advised: "If you can't think of it, don't bother. We have just made an agreement. It is impossible for Zhao to use troops against us right away. Zhao Min can fight whoever he is willing to fight. You have worked hard in this period.
Have a good rest, will you return to Zangxian Valley tomorrow?"
"If I don't reply, I want to wait a little longer to see if I can understand Zhao Min's thoughts. If I don't understand, it will be difficult to feel at ease."
"Then I'll send a message to my sisters. If you don't want to go back, ask them to come over. They will definitely be upset after hearing the news about your teacher's return to the court." Zhuyin said with a smile.
"Okay, uh... it doesn't matter if I send the letter two days late. We, husband and wife, can have a lot of intimacy." He Ran smiled along his face.
"Forget it, you don't mean what you said!" Zhuyin poked his forehead with a jade finger and went out to order someone to return to Zangxian Valley to deliver the message.
Zhuyin came in shortly after leaving and said: "The report from the front said that Mu Shan is here."
"He must have something important to do here. I'll go check it out." He said and hurried out of the house to the vestibule.
Less than half an hour later, Zhuyin saw him coming back with a dull expression. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "What happened?"
He Ran sat down and took a sip of tea before saying calmly: "Mo Ju is back. He and Zhao Hong finally defeated Ju Ran with the help of Lin Yan."
Ordinarily, he should be elated when he heard that Mo Ju was back, but looking at his appearance, it seemed that things were not that simple. Zhuyin did not rush to ask questions, and quietly sat across from him and gracefully refilled the tea for him.
He Ran was silent for a while before speaking, "He took control of the military two months ago and used troops against Zhao not long after that."
"Ah?" Zhuyin was very surprised, "Why did it take so long for our spy to send back the news?"
"Previously, Kang State was expelling Yi people. Recently, the inspections have become more severe. All of us have been driven out of Kang State. Brother Su's shop was also suddenly raided. They went to Zhao State after all the troubles.
The message sent back by Feige Station over there."
"Do you think this was Mo Ju's doing?" Zhuyin asked cautiously.
"It's not wrong. He was afraid of the New Deal. He was the one who initiated the expulsion of Yi Ren. This time he came back to power and it was even more serious." He Ran's expression was still dull.
Zhuyin suddenly thought of something, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "So... Zhao Min is eager to make peace with us because he got the news that Mo Ju's troops invaded the border."
He Ran nodded and said: "No wonder I always feel that there is something fishy and I can't figure it out. It turns out it's... alas!"
Zhuyin has a delicate heart and guessed that the reason why he was unhappy was not only because Mo Ju expelled Yi Ren, but also because he blamed him for overthrowing Ju and then not sending a message in time. Although the journey was far away, if he had been there two months ago,
The messenger should have arrived a long time ago. My husband took great pains to ask Lin Yan to help with his matter. Logically, he should send a message here first after he escapes from trouble.
"He should send me a letter." Seeing Zhuyin's silence, He Ran couldn't help but express his inner complaints.
"I know." Zhuyin held his hand and said comfortingly: "Maybe the messenger was delayed by something on the way. He may arrive in a few days."
He Ran snorted and said angrily: "Even if we arrive now, it's too late! Why two months for a thousand miles journey?"
"You doubt him..." Zhuyin hesitated whether to say the following words.
He Ran took pictures of several cases and said angrily: "It's not suspicion, it's just that! Two months ago, Zhao Guo had already started to mobilize people there. As a military advisor, he would not know it. With his scheming, he would definitely be able to
Thinking that the soldiers and horses mobilized by the State of Zhao are not to save the capital, the rest is just to deal with us and the country of Shun. He should know very well that if the country of Zhao is fighting, one country must unite with the other country.
There is no need to mobilize so many troops. Since Zhao Guo has mobilized troops from there, most of them have to deal with Yi and Shun. In this case, he actually..."
"Don't be so angry, maybe Mo Ju..." She wanted to say that maybe Mo Ju had other reasons, but then she thought that her blind persuasion might cause trouble, so she changed her words: "Things will be cleared up eventually, don't
It’s too quick to jump to conclusions.”
He Ran sneered and said: "He just wants us to tie up Zhao's army so that Kang can benefit from it."
"Even so, you don't have to be angry. Everyone has their own destiny. You should be as sincere as you are. Not only did you not take Ding Yang for your sworn brother, but you also almost fell out with Shun Guo. There are not many people like him in the world.
For a minister like you, what you can do may not be possible for others. Mo Ju has helped you many times before, so even if he gets a little tricked this time, you don't have to be so angry."
After hearing this, He Ran took a breath and said, "That's what you said, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore."
