The next day, He Ran spent a lot of effort to find Shilang and Princess Hebei beside a forest.
He first threw a stone to scare the couple who were whispering, and then walked over with a wicked smile on his face.
Seeing that he was making trouble so ignorantly, Shi Lang winked at Princess Hebei in embarrassment and told her to leave quickly.
Princess Hebei ignored it and angrily said to He Ran: "You are really ignorant and ignorant!"
He Ran looked at her with great dissatisfaction and said, "You think you are his now? You wanted to marry me before, but now you are so disdainful of me?"
Not only was Princess Hebei not embarrassed, she also had a smile in her eyes, "You missed the opportunity. Now I don't want to marry you. You can regret it."
He Ran laughed and said, "Don't make me anxious. Believe it or not, I asked the king to order you to marry me?"
Princess Hebei wrinkled her nose in disdain and spat: "You know how to scare people with this, I don't think you have any other skills!"
He Ran turned to Shi Lang and said: "If you want this girl, then obediently lead the troops to help my uncle fight in the war, otherwise I will take her away. It's your choice."
Seeing that he and Princess Bei were not embarrassed, Shi Lang calmed down and smiled disdainfully at He Ran, saying, "Can you be a little more serious in front of the princess?"
"Stop talking nonsense and choose quickly!" He Ran urged with a smile.
When Princess Hebei saw him bullying Shilang, she glared and said, "You are really unkind. He just told me that he was going to lead troops to the grassland in a few days. Look at your face, huh, you are really... with...
...What are you thinking?" She couldn't remember these words for a moment and looked to Tokiro for help.
"The heart of a villain." Shirou reminded in a low voice.
"Yes! Use the heart of a villain to judge the belly of an adult!" Princess Hebei said bitterly.
He Ran burst out laughing, and Shirou couldn't help laughing either.
"Did I say something wrong?" Princess Hebei blushed and asked Shilang in a low voice.
He Ran said: "Look, you won't gain much knowledge by being with him, so just follow me and go!"
"I won't follow you. You are smooth-tongued and not serious at all. Sister Chang'er and the others say that about you!" Princess Hebei looked at him with a smile on her lips.
He Ran grimaced and said: "How dare you say that to me! Huh, come with me to Ringing Bell City tomorrow. This is the order of the military advisor and the order of the Valley Master. You must not disobey it!"
"Bullying!" Princess Hebei stared at him unconvinced, then turned to Shilang and said anxiously, "Look at him, he bullies me! I told Sister Xiyao to go!" She started to leave.
Shi Lang grabbed her, looked at He Ran and said, "I'd better go."
He Ran pretended to be confused and pointed at Princess Hebei and said, "I'll just let her go."
"I have to tell Sister Xiyao and let her punish you!" Princess Hebei tried hard to break free from Shilang's hand.
Shilang turned around and whispered to her: "He is not joking with you, he is going to lead the troops to the grassland."
Princess Hebei looked at him in surprise and said, "What does taking me to Ringing Bell City have to do with leading troops to the grassland?"
Shilang turned back, looked at He Ran and said, "I asked you to interpret. He wants to reorganize the captured soldiers. Am I right?" The last person to ask was naturally He Ran.
"You are so witty. You should marry him. He is much smarter than me. I just said I would take you to Bell City, and he guessed what I was going to do next." He Ran flattered him in a timely manner,
He winked at Princess Bei.
Princess Hebei's little face showed a bit of pride, and she said angrily: "You are such a person. You can't do anything you want to do, so you have to go around the bush to get scolded."
He Ran looked at the sky and said: "We smart people naturally have to use roundabout ways to talk. This is interesting. Who told you... hum?"
Princess Hebei rolled her eyes at him and said to Shiro: "This man is really annoying, let's go!"
Shi Lang whispered a few words to her, and the little princess nodded and ran away. He turned to He Ran and said, "If you don't worry, I'll go, but there are ugly things ahead, and I'm not sure at all."
He Ran put away his smile and said, "I can't say I have any worries about you. If you do something bad, I can't do it well. If you can't win the battle, I might lose even more miserably. I don't feel at ease now."
I’m not sure, but I’ll go for it, after all, I’ve fought against them before.”
"Haha, it seems you really don't trust me."
He Ran smiled and said: "You don't have to argue with me, and don't use any scheming in front of me. I accept your wishes, so let's make it up. I have ordered people to gather the coolie soldiers. In two days,
I will go to Mingzhong City tomorrow and ask the princess to be an interpreter for a few days and help me select some people to be generals. You can rest here for a while and then go to Pingcheng to replace Xu Tong."
Shilang looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly, and said sincerely: "As far as brothers are concerned, you really have no choice. With your loyalty, if I can have some confidence in this expedition, then
I still really want to compete with you on errands."
He Ran was amused and said: "You still won't argue with me in the end, right? I almost made you confused by all these twists and turns."
Shi Lang smiled and said: "It's not that I don't want to fight, it's that I don't dare to fight. The issue of conquering the country is too important. I'm afraid of damaging the country and the army. This burden can only be shouldered by you."
"I'm always the unluckiest, and all the hard work is mine. Okay, go find your little girl. The three of us will discuss it tomorrow. You have to make plans for me, right?"
"Okay, this is my duty. I will take the princess to your garden early tomorrow morning."
"No, go to your house. Don't let the eldest princess and the others know about this."
"Here... let's find another place." Shirou looked confused.
He Ran understood and said with a smile: "I forgot that you, a wise man who abides by etiquette, cannot bring the little princess in. Well, then, go to the small room next to the meeting hall tomorrow. What do you think this is?
Discussing military and state affairs is like being a thief."
Shilang glanced at him, walked slowly, and said: "Everything I do with you is like a thief. Alas, your ability... I am really speechless."
"Huh!" He Ran looked at his back for a while, then turned around and imitated his example and walked slowly towards the other side. After a few steps, he resumed his swaying gait.
