The spring breeze is warm and everything is renewed.
On this day, Xu Tong sent people to report that the melted water in various canyons had almost accumulated, and the dams could be demolished and the city flooded in a day or two.
He Ran ordered them to act independently, and when the time came, they would take action without having to retaliate.
Just after sending this messenger, the second messenger came. This time it was Yong Ke, an adviser under Xu Tong's account. He said that the banner of Tianhe Gong appeared at the top of Qulan City, which should be Tianhe. The Duke was sent for reinforcements.
Yin Ke had a bitter look on his face when he reported back. He was worried about the military advisor. He leaned closer and whispered: "The general is worried that Lord Tianhe may go back to Qulan City to garrison, and plans to flood the city with water in advance."[
He Ran looked very calm, looked up and pondered for a moment, and said: "Go back and tell the general, don't act in a hurry, just say that I miss my sister-in-law at the moment, not my brother."
Yin Ke is a shrewd man. He blinked his small eyes and replied: "I understand, if you can give birth, give birth to it. If you can't give birth, follow the will of God."
Before Princess Qingyun died, she had ordered that the coffins of his wife and his wife be sent directly to the fief for burial. This move had already revealed her dissatisfaction with Duke Tianhe. Now that the military advisor said "I miss my sister-in-law but not my brother", it was naturally a hint to them. There is no need to worry about the life or death of Duke Tianhe.
He Ran did not answer his words and said: "I wanted to rush to the military camp right now, but in that case, I might as well not go." He waved to him.
After Yin Ke left, He Ran returned to the inner house, took a sip of tea, and snorted heavily with lingering resentment.
Su Xiyao asked softly: "What's going on?"
He Ran pointed in the direction of Jingqu City and said bitterly: "Who do you think this Zhao Min is? He has used this shameful method again and again. He has already killed his eldest brother, and now he has ordered his father to come forward. Formation, not to mention a prince, even a man in the market would not even bother to do this!"
"My husband is here?" Su Xiyao frowned.
He Ran said "Yeah" with a cold face, and said in a cold voice: "Zhao Min is wasting his efforts. He thinks he has seen through me. Hum, he is mistaken."
"A foster brother's father is like his biological father. If you really kill my husband..." Su Xiyao looked worried, "I'm afraid you'll get some criticism. It will damage your reputation to some extent, so why don't you avoid it?" What do you think, let’s go back for now?”
He Ran said solemnly: "No, I don't want to avoid it. To be honest, I also hate this old man. If he really dies like this, I should just give it to my sister-in-law. I don't care about so much." Woolen cloth."
Su Xiyao knew that his moral concepts were different from ordinary people's, and because of his temper, he acted willfully, so she had to persuade him softly: "Forget it, why bother? Besides, my Su family has been on good terms with Tianhe Mansion for generations. It's hard to care about personal matters when the two armies are fighting, but it's not appropriate for me to stay here. Just think of it as your favor and let me stay away for a while. Also, if you can save my husband's life, you still have to do your best. I want to vent my anger on my sister-in-law, but I have to take care of my brother."
"He killed his brothers, and I still...!" He Ran took photos of several cases angrily, and rarely stared.
Su Xiyao gave him a gentle kiss and said: "You can't say that. My husband has always loved Jin Shixiong very much. How could he be willing to kill his own child? He must be miserable when he loses his son. Zhong Zhong Compassion cannot have both ends. After all, you are not from here, so it is difficult for you to understand the state of mind of a loyal minister."
He Ran stiffened his neck, then let out a long breath, thought about it, and still said with a grudge: "If you want to avoid it, then avoid it. I am a military advisor. I cannot leave the army at this time. I will not leave the army during the chaos." I will not sacrifice the lives of soldiers to rescue him. I will not issue such a military order."
Su Xiyao knew that his temper was hard to persuade, so she simply stopped talking and looked at the cases with her pretty face expressionless.
He Ran was tensed for a while, and finally couldn't help but softened, why: "I really don't want to issue such a military order, you don't know, in the chaos of war, everyone is jealous, and whoever shows mercy will be killed." He will die. He has martial arts skills and is surrounded by many soldiers. If he wants to capture him alive, many soldiers will be killed. I rarely issue such military orders. As a general, I have to be considerate of the soldiers."
Su Xiyao nodded slightly and said: "It is good to be considerate of the soldiers, but you still don't want to save him in your heart, so I won't force you. I want loyalty, even if I die in the rebellion, it will be considered a success. I don’t want to talk about this anymore, just give orders to the soldiers not to deliberately kill my husband."
He Ran said: "Look at what you said, even if I have the heart, I can't pass such an order. If that happens, the soldiers will look down on my character. I told Yin Ke that at this time, I only think about my sister-in-law and not my brother. He He is a man of understanding and knows my thoughts.”[
Su Xiyao shook her head reluctantly and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. You should go back with me to avoid it. Your reputation is already bad enough. Although you don't care about this, you are a military advisor of a country after all. Having a bad reputation is not a good thing after all.”
He Ranhun said nonchalantly: "It's too late. The city will be flooded in the next two days. He has to go to Qulan City if his life is short. There is no other way. It would be a joke for us to leave now. If he stays in Guan , I will follow you back when the city is flooded, and I will let Xu ** force go to Qulanguan."
Su Xiyao knew that he was telling the truth, so she could only say: "Okay, don't regret it again."
He Ran still felt depressed in his heart, and pointed in the direction of Jingqu City again and said: "You said this Zhao Min, hey, I really look down on him now!"
Su Xiyao smiled faintly and said: "When it comes to life and death, you don't care about morality. How many kings are true gentlemen? In terms of ethics alone, most of them are not as good as ordinary people. There are many people who sacrifice their lives for justice, but kings often There are a lot of high-sounding rhetoric to rely on.”
He Ran felt that what she said was quite satisfactory, and he said cheerfully: "That's good. You have gained so much knowledge by following me."
Su Xiyao smiled and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "If I really learn from you, I'd be surprised if I can learn well from you!"
He Ran felt relieved and asked: "Have you shown that medical book to the military doctors? Are the prescriptions in it real?"
Su Xiyao heard him mention it and said happily: "I was about to tell you. Several famous doctors said it was true. They were all very excited, and one even cried while holding the book. I told you I asked them to copy the order, and several people kept praising the military advisor's kindness. Please remember it and don't let it slip in the future."
He Ran took the opportunity to kiss her and said, "What a good wife. Um...do you have any magic formula for getting pregnant?"
Su Xiyao pursed her lips and smiled and said: "No, there is an 'unparalleled rear' instead."
"The ultimate rear?" He Ran said with a surprised smile: "The one who makes people die off their descendants?"
Su Xiyao suppressed a smile and said: "Well, there are two prescriptions, Yin and Yang, for men and women to take. I thought this was too detrimental to Yin virtue, so I cut it out of the book. I thought it would be better not to spread it, but I was hesitating. If you want to destroy it, we can say that you took this prescription by mistake, which is a good excuse."
He Ran said angrily: "Stop teasing me, I don't need any excuses, just let them think that I am a good person because of my virtue."
Su Xiyao smiled sweetly for a while and said, "Then do you think this recipe is ruined or not?"
He Ran immediately said: "You can't destroy it. This is a wonderful recipe. I'll find someone to try it later to see if it works."
Su Xiyao, dumbfounded, waved her hand and hit him, saying: "You are so immoral, can you try this? If it works, it will cause great harm to others."
He Ran chuckled and said: "Why don't you just try it with some despicable villains? Wouldn't it be best for such people to be extinct? No kidding, you must keep this recipe for me, I will be of great use in the future of."
"What's the use?" Su Xiyao stared at him with a wary expression.
He Ran hugged her and said: "Don't worry, I won't use this to harm anyone. Don't you know what I am like? If you don't like whoever you like, I'll just kill him. How can I bother to go through all this trouble?" "
"You! You should kill less people in the future." Su Xiyao was about to continue, but her lips were already kissed.
