They walked slowly out of the prairie and passed through the border of Xiang. Knowing that the military advisor was about to return home, Chen Min, the king of Xiang, sent people to greet him all the way. He himself greeted him outside Xindu.
After meeting, He Ran sincerely apologized for breaking through the border before. Chen Min waved his hands repeatedly and said that he had informed the country's border gates that military advisors would not be questioned or blocked when entering the country in the future, and they would be allowed to travel freely. He Ran thanked him again and begged him to take back his order. After all, this was a big violation.
The way to build a country.
Chen Min refused and said: "Our country relies on military advisors, so how can we rebel against military advisors? Who in the world knows that military advisors are righteous? This life of mine is just to show others how to repay kindness. I hope that military advisors can fulfill my wishes."
False name."
He Ran heard what he said and knew that he was sincere, so he didn't want to be verbose anymore and said: "Thank you so much, your Majesty, I will not dare to do anything unless it is urgent." He also begged for mercy for the officials and generals along the way, and King Xiang pardoned them all.
its crime.
After only two days in Xindu, the group resumed their journey.[
When he arrived at Muhu Pass, Xiao Xiao made an exception and personally greeted him outside the city.
Upon entering the official residence, He Ran first conveyed Sanchonbiye's greetings.
Although Xiao Xiao was also thinking about his foster sister, he was more concerned about his mood at this time and said warmly: "You still have sadness on your face, please be considerate. It's Lan'er who is ill-fated, and there is nothing human power can do about it."
He Ran smiled sadly and said: "When we led the army to leave the grassland, the scene of her blocking the road to confide is still vivid in my mind. I really regret not taking her with me, so that at least she would not have to suffer the pain of lovesickness."
Xiao Xiao consoled her: "Who could have expected that her life span would be so short? Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. Have you ever seen her deathbed?"
He Ran nodded and briefly described the scene at that time.
Xiao Xiao said: "I finally left with peace of mind. You did your best."
He Ran sighed and fell silent.
Xiao Xiao changed the topic and said: "When will you go back? I think you shouldn't delay for a long time. If there is any movement in Kangguo, I will have to rely on you to take charge of the situation." She already knew everything about the situation there.
"Come back with me." He Ran begged in his eyes.
Xiao Xiao wanted to obey his wishes, but he still had to shake his head and said softly: "Shi Lang has been transferred. I'm afraid that the general will make some mistakes, so at the moment I not only have to control Xiang and Qi, but also control the two countries."
We have to take care of the north bank of the Gunlong River, and I will visit you again after a while."
"You are a talented young man." He Ran sighed, "I have made you suffer. After a while, Xu Tong became familiar with the affairs there. I sent Kong Lin to take over your defense, so you don't have to suffer from this anymore."
Already."
Xiao Xiao smiled noncommittally. After being separated for many days, the two of them often talked to each other and showed their love. At this time, Xiao Xiao showed his gentle side and tried his best to soothe his sad heart.
Three days later, at Xiao Xiao's urging, He Ran embarked on his return journey.
After talking along the way, he arrived at Ringing Bell City that day. After listening to the military report from the front and learning that there was no change in Kang State, he felt relieved. Su Xiyao and others had come from Zangxian Valley, not only to reunite as soon as possible, but also to
He also wanted to prevent Princess Hebei, who lived in the valley, from meeting him and asking about his cousin's dying appearance, which would make him sad.
Zhuyin knew his temperament very well and was afraid that he would be sad if he calmed down, so he kept urging him to improve the new policies. He Ran also wanted to distract his sorrow by being busy, so he entered a period of diligent work.
On this day, I was discussing with the officials of the Ministry of War about the restructuring of the army. When I came to the atrium, someone reported that Master Zhenyuan had arrived and was chatting with some ladies in the inner house.
He Ran entered the inner hall leisurely. When Su Xiyao and others saw him coming, they all stood up and left. He Ran was a little surprised. It seemed that Zhen Yuan had something to discuss with him.
After sitting down at the table, he said with a smile: "It's rare for immortals to tread dirty ground. I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you suddenly think of me, the protector of the religion?" [
Zhenyuan is no longer the uptight little immortal master before. Although her face is still childish, her expression is calmer and she says with a smile: "Since you still remember that you are the guardian of the teaching, then my work this time is not in vain.
You can’t ignore China’s affairs.”
"If you have anything to say, just say it. It's my duty as a protector to kill demons and punish evil spirits. Just say it. Don't even bother us. I'll kill anyone you don't like."
/
Zhenyuan smiled and said: "Having such a cruel protector like you is really a disaster for our religion. Every word you talk about is killing people. I think the person you deserve to kill the most is yourself." Only in front of He Ran could she be so relaxed.
He Ran laughed and said: "How can you protect the Dharma if you don't have murderous intentions? I am doing my duty faithfully."
Zhenyuan stopped smiling and said: "I came today to ask for something. With the full support of the king and you, I have been teaching more and more people, and now there are nearly ten thousand. You know, I have no ability to govern, and I don't want to
Dealing with secular affairs, such a congregation, if there is no restraint, I am afraid that something will happen, and I would be really sorry for you. The most urgent thing at the moment is the disposal of property. The believers have contributed a lot. I heard that those who are in charge of property
It’s a headache for my disciples to report things, please send me a capable person quickly.”
He Ran smiled and said: "You really don't have the ability to understand people. You don't have to ask me for help."
"Which one are you talking about?"
"Fan, her political skills are highly appreciated by Yin'er. She has the talent to govern a country and is more than capable of managing a sect."
"She can really do it?" Zhenyuan asked happily.
He Ran nodded and said: "Management is not about the talent of the person in power. What is important is the quality of the system. She is familiar with the gist of it. Let her help you establish a system to welcome you, and you will be safe in the future."
"Then please help me invite her to take charge of academic affairs. I'm afraid I won't have the honor."
He Ran shook his head and said: "You are wrong. I think you are the only one who can invite her. It would be in vain for me to go. After all, you are the leader and she is your disciple."
Zhenyuan said sadly: "I never give orders to the people below, so just help them to the end."
"I'm telling the truth, not blaming someone. Just don't use your power as a leader to suppress her. You can just ask her for help with nice words. I think she will definitely agree. If I tell her, she will do it instead."
I may not be able to agree to it.”
"Then... I'll try it. If it doesn't work, I have to ask you to go there." Zhen Yuanshu said confidently.
He Ran fully agreed: "Okay, if she doesn't agree, I will go with your disciple Yin'er."
Zhenyuan had a smile on her face and said: "I haven't seen Sister Yin'er for a long time. I really want to wait until she comes back from the morning to meet again, but there will be a Dharma class to be taught later. Please tell Sister Yin'er for me. Wait.
She will definitely give her some advice when she has time."
He Ran smiled and said: "I see you are busier than her. I have been there so many times before but I have never met you once. It would be really difficult for you two to meet."
Zhenyuan showed a bright smile and said: "The Holy Dharma can be carried forward. No matter how tired I am, I feel happy. Okay, no more disturbance, I'm going." After saying that, he stood up and left.
ps: A friend reminded me that Chapter 86 was missing from the second volume. I checked and sure enough, it has been added. It is always easy to make mistakes when saving manuscripts. If any friends find that there are missing chapters, please remind them in time.
