Returning to the house, Xiao Lai did not deliberately hide his inner emotions and said sincerely: "He really looks like a military advisor. Although I haven't seen anything real yet, his appearance now is enough to make me look at him differently."
Xiaozhu smiled and said, "I have opened my eyes a long time ago. Come to think of it, if he is just as virtuous at home, which soldier will be convinced."
Xiao Lai glanced at Su Xiyao, winked secretly at Xiao Zhu, and said: "What a rare man in the world. He is so capable and so kind at home. What's even more rare is that he loves his wives more than gold. Jian, I feel so blessed to have met such a master."
Su Xiyao looked at her with a smile and said: "Isn't it time to point my nose at you and scold you? The girl with her exquisite voice is already impressive enough. If she learns the glib tongue from this master, she will be the most promising in the family. It belongs to you."
Xiao Lai was laughing. Halfway through her laughter, she suddenly felt tired and shuddered involuntarily. Although her journey was worse than a forced march, it was still enough for her to endure the journey of thousands of miles.
Su Xiyao ordered: "Go down and have a rest."
Xiao Lai insisted: "No, no, no, wait until he comes back from inspecting the camp and I will rest after serving him."
Su Xiyao said: "Silly girl, he is lying to you. He is not a general leading an army, so there is no need to inspect the camp in person every day."
"Ah?" Xiao Lai's eyes widened, "Then what is he doing? He is fooling around in vain."
Su Xiyao said: "There is a battle ahead tonight. He is worried. He must be waiting for the battle report in the lobby."
"Oh." Xiao Lai blinked, "Then... then I'll go to the lobby to serve."
Su Xiyao looked at her lovingly and said, "I know what you mean, but going at this time may disturb his mind, so you'd better go and rest."
Xiaolai still seemed unwilling to give in. Xiaozhu pulled her up and joked with a smile: "Look at how worried you are. Without you for so many days, we haven't taken good care of him."
Xiao Lai felt a little embarrassed, bowed to Su Xiyao, and went down to rest.
A strong wind suddenly came up in the middle of the night, and dozens of lamps in the lobby kept swaying. He Ran, who was sitting quietly in front of several tables, felt a bit chilly. Just when he was about to get up and move around, Xiaozhu came in carrying a food box.
Putting down the food box, Xiaozhu took out a clay pot from it, poured soup into the bowl and said, "Drink it while it's hot. Madam has just made the warming and calming soup for you."
He Ran picked it up, took a sip, and asked, "Are you still awake?"
"The little one has gone to bed. Drink quickly and I'll pour you another bowl."
He Ran drank the soup in one gulp and felt much warmer immediately.
Xiaozhu poured him another bowl, watched him drink it, and then asked: "Is there no news yet?"
He Ran shook his head and said: "It will take another hour or two at the earliest."
"Then why don't you go back and sleep for a while? I'll wake you up after an hour of sleep. It's better than waiting here." Xiaozhu said distressedly.
He Ran smiled and said: "I won't be able to sleep even when I go back. On the contrary, it will make you unable to sleep either. Don't worry about me. Let Madam rest early. You can go to sleep too."
Xiaozhu sat with him for a while, then collected the food box and went back.[
The time at this moment was very difficult for He Ran. After an hour passed, he gradually couldn't sit still anymore, and he got up and walked around from time to time. Two hours passed, and there was still news that he couldn't stay in the lobby any longer. He went to the side hall and chatted with the officials who were waiting for orders, looking into the courtyard from time to time.
When the sky turned white, he returned to the lobby, but his face was no longer so pretty, and his heart was almost in his throat.
In the quiet dawn, the sudden sound of horse hooves sounded strangely crisp. Hearing the neighing sound of the war horse being reined in, He Ran's heart was pounding. He straightened up and looked at the entrance of the hall with eyes like lightning.
Not a moment later, the reporting military academy quickly came to the front of the hall. Without waiting for the guards to report back, He Ran raised his voice and said: "Let him come in!"
The military academy quickly walked in, bowed and said: "Information to the military advisor, the general captured Qulanguan last night, and specially ordered this villain to come and report the victory to the military advisor!"
He Ran couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the news. He took a few pictures and said loudly: "Okay!"
A group of subordinates heard the military advisor's shout in the side hall and hurriedly gathered together. When they heard about the great victory ahead, they all clapped their hands and celebrated, beaming with joy.
The military academy continued to report: "Tianhegong led his troops to trap the government office and refused to surrender. The general ordered the siege but refused to attack. He is continuing to send people to persuade him to surrender."
Seeing the military advisor nod, he continued: "As expected, the family members of the defender of Qulan City are at the gate. The general's intention is not to attack with water for the time being, but to persuade them to surrender. I would like to ask the military advisor for instructions."
He Ran had already thought of this and said: "It should be so. Please let the general make a decision at his own discretion. Tell the general that I will leave for Qulanguan in a moment."
The military academy took the order and left. He Ran ordered to beat the victory drum. This also sent a message to the garrison outside the city that they could relax their guard. Soon, the military camp outside the city heard more intense rumbling drums.
At this time, Zhong Min, who was ordered to inquire, had just returned. Before he could report anything, He Ran waved to him with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter. I ordered the treasurer to prepare more wine and meat for everyone to celebrate."
He walked into the inner house with three steps, and his feet felt as light as if he had just drank fine wine.
Xiaozhu had not slept all night, and Xiaolai was awakened by the sound of drums. The two were talking in the courtyard at the moment. Seeing He Ran coming, Xiaolai rushed to ask: "Is it a great victory to hear the drums?"
"There's no need to ask, we don't want to see who is planning this!" He Ran proudly pointed to his nose with his hand.
Xiaozhu made a disdainful "嘁" sound, and happily ran in to prepare washing water for him.
Xiao Lai was extremely tolerant of him at this moment. He walked with him and said with admiration: "You are really good. Once flooded, the city will be destroyed. You can take me to see it. I will I haven’t seen a real battle formation yet.”
He Ran became even more proud, shaking his head and saying: "Wrong! This victory was not about Qulan City, but Qulan Pass!"
"Oh, that's fine, if I win, I'll go to 138 Kanshu.com.
He Ran was not satisfied with her reaction. It was obvious that she did not understand that winning the battle was more important than Yancheng. He was not in the mood to explain it to her at the moment and hurriedly washed up under the service of Xiao Lai and Xiao Zhu.
Su Xiyao had come out of the inner room long ago, and waited until he finished washing before asking: "I just heard you said you captured Qulanguan?"
He Ran said with a playful smile: "That's right! I have made such great achievements, the eldest princess should reward me well." [
Su Xiyao smiled and spat: "If it's Yancheng, this achievement can be regarded as yours. It seems that it's nothing to do with you. All you've been telling me these days is about Yancheng. You're taking credit for it." Please reward, according to the rules..."
"According to the law, you should be killed!" Xiaozhu chuckled and responded.
He Ran laughed, turned to Xiao Lai and said: "You see how shrewd the eldest princess is. Don't always think that your master is so great. I don't have to think hard to deceive her, but if I want to deceive the eldest princess, I don't have to worry about it." Princess, I can only wait for the next life."
Xiao Lai pursed her lips and smiled. No matter how strong she was at this time, she couldn't speak for the young lady.
"I have to go to Qulanguan and I have to leave now." He Ran said to Su Xiyao.
Su Xiyao immediately told Xiaozhu: "Pack your bags, let's leave now."
He Ran hurriedly stopped him and said, "You guys should stay here first. I will send someone to deliver the letter when arrangements are made over there."
"It's okay to live in the military camp." Su Xiyao didn't want to be separated from him.
He Ran sighed and said: "Mr. Tianhe is stubbornly resisting. If you go, you will be in trouble. You can go after he is dealt with."
Su Xiyao was silent. After a while, she looked at him calmly and said, "Spare him."
He Ran immediately nodded and said: "I'm so angry. How can I really not miss him as my brother's father? Don't worry, I won't embarrass him."
