49. On the way of attacking generals [10]
On the Way of Raiding the General [10]
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. The Liao army outside the border is about to move, and I can't rest day and night, and I want to send He Xiyuan, the general of Zhanbei, to Pingding, and I can set off in three days. Gonggong Li stood in front of He Xiyuan with the holy decree and read the holy decree.
"Minister, He Xiyuan, take the order." He Xianyuan raised his hand, took the holy decree, and then stood up.
Gonggong Li stroked his sleeves, then looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he said, "General He, this time I will trouble you." However, this emperor is also really, not long after you got married, he let you go on the expedition. ”
"Yes, I understand, leave it to me." He Xianyuan smiled, "It is also the responsibility of those of us as courtiers to solve problems for the emperor. ”
Gonggong Li nodded with satisfaction, "However, the miscellaneous family told you, if you can still come back with meritorious service this time, the emperor seems to be interested in marrying the princess to you." ”
Listening to Gonggong Li's words, He Xiyuan was stunned for a moment. Didn't the emperor know that he had just gotten married, so how could he want to marry the princess to him?
"Then, there's one more thing. It's a secret, and you can't reveal it to anyone until the war is over. Gonggong Li said mysteriously.
"Yes, I understand."
"This time you go on the expedition, and the Fourteenth Prince will be with you in disguise. You can give him a position casually, but you must protect the consideration of the Fourteenth Prince. Got it? ”
He Xiyuan looked at Gonggong Li in surprise, no prince had ever gone to the battlefield with the army. I don't know what this Shan Ling Yan said to the emperor, the emperor would actually agree to this kind of thing.
"Yes, I see."
After Gonggong Li left, He Xiyuan returned to his bedroom with the emperor's holy decree, and Han Yanran was sitting on the bed at this time cleaning up the freshly washed clothes.
"You're back." Seeing He Xianyuan walk in, Han Yanran quickly put down the work in her hand and stood up.
He Xianyuan looked at the things on the bed, walked over, and stroked Han Yanran's hair dotingly, "You are a young grandmother now, why do you still do some maid work." ”
"What's wrong with the young grandmother, who said that the young grandmother can't do the work of a maid. I think cloves are too hard, so I can just fold clothes, and I can do it myself. Han Yanran smiled, she saw the yellow scroll in He Xiyuan's other hand, "Huh? Got a holy decree? ”
"yes, we'll leave in three days." He Xiyuan put the holy decree away, and then sat on the bed with Han Yanran.
"This time, you'll take me with you too!" As soon as he heard that he could go to the battlefield again, Han Yanran felt an irrepressible excitement in his heart, which made his blood boil.
"What would you do if, I said, this time, I don't want to take you there?" He Xiyuan did not answer Han Yanran's words directly, but asked her rhetorically.
Han Yanran tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then leaned into He Xiyuan's ear and said something.
He Xianyuan was stunned for a moment, and then began to laugh, "You, you, a girl's family, don't you know how to be shy?" ”
"I'm not a girl anymore, okay?" Han Yanran lightly slapped He Xiyuan.
He Xiyuan smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, okay, what I said is not accurate." Don't worry, I'll take you. He took Han Ranran's hand, put it on his mouth and kissed it, "My lady, of course, I will follow wherever I go." ”
"That's pretty much it!" Han Yanran kissed He Xiyuan on the cheek, and then rested her head on his chest, "By the way, is He Chen back?" ”
It has been almost a month since He Chen went out to deliver a letter to Bai Yinan, and counting the time, he should be almost back now.
"Well, I came back last night, I let him rest, and he came back with Bai Yinan. Wait until the evening comes, let them come over. ”
"Okay, there's no hurry."
Seeing that she was so well-behaved, He Xianyuan's hand around her also tightened, "I forgot to tell you, just now Gonggong Li came to convey the holy decree and said that Shan Lingyan would go to the battlefield with us this time." ”
"Oh, that's right." Han Yanran didn't feel very surprised, on the contrary, she had already thought that Shan Lingyan would follow them to the battlefield this time.
According to Shan Lingyan's character, knowing that He Xiyuan is now suspected of colluding with the Liao army, how could he let go of such a good opportunity.
"You don't seem surprised?"
"I thought about it a long time ago, and it's part of my plan. If he doesn't go with him this time, I think things will be too difficult. Han Yanran picked the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of cunning.
Looking at Han Yanran like this, He Xianyuan had a feeling that he didn't know her. He knew she was smart and had a lot of ideas. It's just that he is usually used to seeing her well-behaved appearance, and occasionally he feels a little uncomfortable like this.
Han Yanran pushed He Xianyuan away, "I'm going to go to Bai Yinan now, and when I come back, I'll tell you what I think." After speaking, Han Yanran didn't wait for He Xiyuan to speak, and quickly went out to find Bai Yinan.
When Bai Yinan was found, Bai Yinan was closing his eyes and recuperating. She walked in, didn't disturb him, sat down on a chair in the room, poured herself a glass of water, and waited for Bai Yinan to wake up.
Probably sensing that someone had been watching him, Bai Yinan opened his eyes and saw Han Yanran sitting not far from him. He sat up on the edge of the bed, "When did you come?" ”
"Just here."
He rubbed his temples, and he followed He Chen back here after a quick journey of more than 10 days. The horse was jolting, leaving him completely unable to adapt.
In modern times, it's all about driving. However, this is in ancient times, without cars, you can only ride horses wherever you go. Bai Yinan almost felt like his ass was going to be jolted off.
Since returning from the battlefield, he was sent to Ningzhou by Han Yanran. She didn't tell him why he did it, and she didn't allow him to ask anything. Years of contact let him know that Han Yanran would not do anything for no reason, so without saying a word, he went to Ningzhou.
He didn't stay long in Ningzhou, and he didn't feel that he had a good rest. gave him a bamboo tube, he didn't open it, but knew that it was Han Yanran who told him to go back.
Although there are all kinds of reluctance in my heart, all kinds of resentment towards Han Yanran, isn't this just tossing him blindly! However, Bai Yinan still obediently followed He Chen back from Ningzhou.
"It's been a hard time for you." Han Yanran poured Bai Yinan a glass of water and sent it to him.
Taking the water handed over by Han Yanran, Bai Yinan looked at Han Yanran in surprise, "Hey, hey, is the sun coming out of the west today?" You Han Yanran still said such things, did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong? ”
Han Yanran rolled her eyes, "You are really a, be kind to you, you are not used to it!" Well, I'll be you next time! ”
"Don't, don't, I'm just talking about it, don't take it seriously!" Bai Yinan hurriedly waved his hand, drank the water handed over by Han Yanran, and returned the bowl to Han Yanran.
"Why are you here, what's wrong?"
Han Yanran sat next to Bai Yinan and told Bai Yinan everything that had happened during his time. After Bai Yinan listened, he nodded, "Okay, Han Yanran, you are very powerful." I won't marry you in such a short time. ”
Han Yanran glared at him, "Don't talk about those messes!" You don't know what the hell is going on! In a few days, Shan Lingyan will follow He Xiyuan to the battlefield. ”
"I see, aren't you a double agent now? You can be very careful, if Shan Lingyan knows, he won't let you go lightly. ”
"Well, I know. I've pretty much figured out what to do. After Han Yanran finished speaking, she leaned into Bai Yinan's ear and told Bai Yinan her thoughts.
Bai Yinan nodded while listening, and when Han Yanran finished speaking, he gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry!" I will definitely cooperate with you with all my might, and I will do whatever you say. ”
Han Yanran stood up and touched Bai Yinan's head, "Xiao Nanzi, you're so good." I'll leave it to you, I'll rest assured. I'll go back first, He Xiyuan is still waiting for me. ”
"Well, bye-bye. You're gone, and I'll be able to sleep for a while. Bai Yinan waved his hand to Han Yanran, and then after Han Yanran left, he lay down and continued to sleep.
Han Yanran returned to the bedroom, He Xianyuan had already left, and Han Yanran knew that he had gone to the study. She sat down on the bed and continued to clean up her unfinished things.
It didn't take long for Lilac to walk in, "Sister, do you have anything to bring?" I'll help you clean it up. She already knew what was going to leave in three days.
In the past, every time He Xiyuan went to the battlefield, he would take her and Han Yanran with him. This time, it's no exception. In the past, she served the general with Han Yanran, and now she and Bai Yinan serve the general and the general's wife together.
"It's okay, I'll clean it up myself. Are your stuff all right? ”
"Uh-huh, I'm ready to clean up." Lilac sat down next to Han Yanran and folded those clothes with her.
Three days passed quickly, and He Xiyuan's army was ready to go. He and Han Yanran kowtowed to Mrs. He three times before setting off.
"Yuan'er, Ranran, you must be more careful when you go out, and come back as soon as possible." Holding He Xiyuan's hand with one hand and Han Yanran's hand with the other, Mrs. He burst into tears.
Every time He Xiyuan went out to fight, Mrs. He was reluctant. She was afraid, afraid that her youngest son would be like her husband and the rest of her sons.
"Mother, don't worry, we will definitely come back safely." He Xiyuan said.
Han Yanran held Mrs. He's hand tightly, "Yes, mother, don't worry. I will definitely come back safely with the raider, with me, there will be no danger to the raider. ”
"Ranran, Yuan'er is handed over to you."
"Yes, mother, don't worry."
The three of them talked for a while, and He Chen came over to remind him that it was not too early. Mrs. He reluctantly let go of He Xiyuan and Han Yanran's hands, "Mother, let's go." ”
"Well, let's go, let's go."
He Xiyuan glanced at Mrs. He deeply, turned around and walked to the front, and got on the horse. Han Yanran also said goodbye to Mrs. He, turned around and got into the carriage.
"Let's go."
