That day was already the time for the meeting. As soon as it broke out, He Ran led two thousand elite troops out of the city and rushed to Gulu. When passing Kangying, Mo Ju sent a team of troops to escort them along the way.
A journey of a hundred miles was not a long journey for the elite Qingqi, and they arrived before noon. They arranged two thousand men and horses outside the city, and He Ran only brought a hundred personal guards into the city.
Qi Min lived in a large house. Above the lobby, the accompanying civil and military officials lined up on both sides.
Congratulations to see you, Qi Min, who was above, said softly: "There is no need to be polite, military advisor. Sit down and talk."
He Ran thanked him for taking the seat, and then he looked at the beauty he had longed for. He saw that Qi Min was as beautiful as before, and his expression was a little more calm and majestic than before. There was not much joy in his eyes, and he looked very...
It was peaceful. He quickly and subconsciously suppressed the eagerness in his eyes.
Next, Qi Min first asked him about the status of the war with Zhao State, and then discussed the border demarcation and other matters. He Ran answered all questions in a formal manner, and he still had to do his routine work of hiding people's eyes and ears.
After the banquet, He Ran went to the post house to rest. Not long after, someone from the palace sent a message and the Queen Mother summoned him. His heart immediately jumped up, and he came to the mansion again under the guard of the guards. This time he was directly introduced to the back house.
In the back hall, Qi Min had been waiting for a long time. When he saw him coming, he stood up, waved to him and walked into the inner room. He Ran quickly followed him in. After closing the door, he couldn't wait to go up and hug him.
"Stay!" Qi Min shouted, looking at him with half-smiling eyes, "Is the military advisor living a comfortable life?"
He Ran retracted his hand in embarrassment, looked at her pitifully and said: "I am thinking about you, how can I feel at ease? I really miss you, Min'er, you are becoming more and more beautiful."
Qi Min snorted softly and said: "Your glib tongue is getting better and better. There are so many beauties in the Cangxian Valley. Do you still have the heart to miss me?"
"It's true. I heard about Ju Ran some time ago. The more I think about it, the more I feel ashamed of you. I wish I could have wings and fly to you." He said it very sincerely.
Qi Minfeng's eyes flashed coldly, and she scolded: "Stop talking about this!"
He Ran sighed and said: "Okay, let's not mention this anymore. I really miss you, so you said you wanted to meet me in Jingqu City. I immediately marched forward. This is the moment I have been looking forward to.
.”
"I'm afraid you are fighting so hard to defeat Zhao not to meet me, but to avenge your sworn brother Jin Dian." Qi Min gave him a cold look and sat down in front of the case lightly.
He Ran secretly blamed Mo Ju. He could only tell Qi Min about this, "It's true to avenge my sworn brother, but it's also to see you."
Qi Min curled his lips and pointed to the seat opposite. After he sat down, he said, "You were the one who secretly moved Lin Yan out to frame Ju Ran, right?"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't mention it? Why did you start talking about it yourself instead?"
"Really!" Qi Min stared.
"Yes, I heard that you were confused by villains and felt very anxious, so..."
Qi Min said coldly: "I knew it was you. The ability of the military advisor is really not small. You can influence the affairs of our country, Kang, even though you are thousands of miles away."
He Ran laughed again and said: "Look at what you said, it's not me who has such great ability. It was Ju Ran Feiyang who disrupted the imperial court and caused public outrage, so all the ministers joined forces to fight against it. I just relied on my relationship with Lin Talented Lady
It’s just a small effort in our friendship.”
Qi Min looked at the cases with a rosy face and said nothing.
He Ran frowned and asked with some discomfort in his heart: "Are you really attracted to that Ju Ran?"
Qi Min raised his eyes and looked at him and said: "You don't have to worry about my affairs. You are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of my country, Kang."
He Ran felt bored and forced a smile and said: "Blame me, blame me, I won't care about it in the future, don't be angry, I really do it all for you, don't you understand me as a person? I don't even bother to care about Yi Guo's affairs,
If it weren't for you, how could you interfere with Kang Guo's affairs?"
Qi Min's expression softened slightly and asked: "Have you really thought about me?"
He Ran immediately swore and swore: "Heaven is my witness. When I think of you, I feel extremely sad. I wish I could hold you in my arms with all kinds of love and affection, expressing all the guilt in my heart."
"You still have some conscience. Now that the two countries are bordering each other, if you really have me in your heart, then you might agree to visit me once a year?" Qi Min's eyes showed some affection.
"Uh..." He Ran hesitated. Zangxian Valley is more than a thousand miles away from Dechang, and it would take several months to go back and forth.
"What?" Qi Min raised her eyebrows.
"Okay!" He Ran agreed resolutely, and then said with a smile: "This journey is indeed too far. Can you choose a city in the middle and we can meet there every year?"
"I knew you didn't have any true feelings for me. You were willing to die for Su Xiyao and the others, but you couldn't stand running around for me." Although she said this, her expression was teasing.
He Ran chuckled and said: "Death is a blink of an eye, but we have to travel these thousands of miles every year. For a lazy person like me, it is really harder than death. It's settled, I will go there myself when I get back."
Choose a place with a good view and gather more days every year.”
Qi Min snorted and said, "Let's talk about this later. Whether you have me in your heart or not, you will know once you try. Come." She said and waved to him affectionately.
"How to try?" Seeing that she finally stopped keeping a straight face, He Ran felt relaxed and her expression was a bit ambiguous.
Qi Min gently snuggled into his arms, raised her pretty face and said, "Give me Qulanguan and Baiyankou."
He Ran's heart sank when he heard this, and the smile on his face froze. He never expected that Qi Min would make such a request. Qulanguan Pass and Baiyankou are like two doors. Once these two doors are closed, it will block everything.
It blocked the way for Yi State to advance westward. Without the possibility of bordering with Lin State, it would be unable to exert influence on the emperor. More importantly, if Xiping was conquered in the future, Yi State would not be able to occupy the land. This was a big problem for Yi State.
Absolutely hard to accept.
"What? You can't go to Dechang to see me, and you won't be willing to give me some land? Sure enough, the secret will be revealed at the first try." Qi Min pushed him away, and the resentment in his eyes made people feel distressed.
He Ran frowned and asked, "But Mo Ju asked you to ask for these two places from me?"
Qi Min snorted angrily: "Forget it if I don't give it. Are you asking for excuses?"
He Ran said softly: "I can give you anywhere else you want, and I dare to give you twice as much land. For you, I am willing to be blamed by all parties, but these two things are too important to our country."
, if I give it to you, I really can’t explain it to my superiors, why don’t I give you the land of Heyang, the land there is also very fertile, and it is much larger than here."
Qi Min said disdainfully: "How can I use something insignificant to test your affection for me? I only want these two things, and it's up to you whether I give them to you or not."
He Ran was really embarrassed and asked again: "Is it Mo Ju's idea?"
Qi Min denied: "I thought about it myself, do you think I don't understand anything?"
He Ran lowered his head and said nothing, really undecided for a moment.
Qi Min snuggled into his arms again, a pair of jade hands constantly caressing his body, and said in a disgusting voice: "Just give it to me, I'll give you my heart. Yi and Kang are like the same family, and they don't belong to anyone."
Same? Okay, I know you love me as deeply as the ocean, and I miss you all the time. I have traveled thousands of miles just to get your love. Please carry me to the bed."
