After more than ten days of marching to Xiangguo, the returning army approached Xiangguo, and the grass had seen a little bit of tender green, and the soldiers took off the fur clothes provided by Fanbang, and their mood became more and more cheerful.

Xiao Xiao looked back at the depths of the grassland and said softly: "I don't know how happy the Prancing Horse Grassland is when the flowers are blooming everywhere. ”

He Ran said with a smile: "It's not a difficult thing, when there is nothing to do here, let's just come again." ”

"When will this be done?" Xiao Xiao glanced at him after asking, and knew that he couldn't answer, so he rode his horse forward.

Mingqin Chaduo is even more reluctant to give up on the grassland, dismounted and knelt down to worship the great god of Juan before turning back to the unknown Central Plains step by step, the gradual change of scenery in front of her made her feel new and inexplicable panic at the same time, what made her really uneasy was He Ran's wives and concubines, if she could choose, she hoped to maintain the days of Geqiong, that was the happiest time in her life,

Xiao Xiao saw her apprehension, walked with her, whispered to her about the peerless beauties in Zangxian Valley, although Mingqin Chaduo is not very fluent in the Central Plains dialect now, but ordinary communication is no big problem, Xiao Xiao's words made her feel a little more at ease,

Before stepping into the land of Xiangguo, Dazai of Qi State greeted him and whispered that Qi and Xiang were still acting to show Zhao State, so it was inconvenient for the King of Qi to come to Xiangjing to greet him, and asked Wang Jia and the military advisor to forgive him, and implored him to go to Qi State.

Qi Guoguo He Ran was not able to go to watch the ceremony, this time it was supposed to go, but his heart had already flown back to Zangxian Valley, that Rong was delayed for a moment, and said that there were important matters to rush back to deal with, refused the invitation of the King of Qi, and handed over the previously borrowed army to Qi Dazai, Dazai thought that the soldiers would be lost more than half, and he didn't want to reduce the number of people even if he died of illness, and he was overjoyed.

After asking if it was Xu Tong who led the army stationed at the border of Qi and Xiang and pretended to mediate, Xiao Xiao said to He Ran: "Since it is fake, let's do something like it, if we don't go over to see it when we come back, it will be unreasonable, you go back, I'll go there." ”

He Ran sighed softly, pulled her aside and said, "Since I learned that you were leaving that small tent, I guessed that you still didn't want to go back to Zangxian Valley with me this time, did you not want to go." ”

Xiao Xiao glanced at him affectionately and asked rhetorically, "You won't force me again, will you?" ”

He Ran smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, I'll come to see you after a while, when do you want to go back, go back, I won't force you." ”

Xiao Xiao smiled knowingly and said mischievously: "If I don't want to go back for the rest of my life." This happy time on the grassland has changed the mentality of both of them.

"Then I'll run around like this for the rest of my life until I can't run."

Xiao Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, leaving him aside to say goodbye to Mingqin Chaduo, Mingqin Chaduo heard that she was not going to Zangxian Valley, Fang Xin immediately panicked again, Xiao Xiao comforted her for a while, and then ordered his soldiers to change their routes to the border of Qi and Xiang,

The most unhappy was Xiaoling, she was first ordered to hand over a cart of packages to Zhong Zheng for safekeeping, which were all gifts that Xiao Xiao bought for everyone, and then took out a few bags of shells and handed them to He Ran, and said with a depressed expression: "Don't bump into it, you have to give it to Sister Xiaozhu fairly when you go back." Saying that, he became angry and scolded: "Why are you so useless, why are you so capable of being so cowardly in front of her, I thought that I would definitely be able to go to Zangxian Valley this time." ”

He Ran smiled bitterly: "You don't know who she is, I really don't have anything to do with her." ”

Xiaoling knew that he was no wonder about this, so he sighed and said: "It's my life, you can think of more ways, even if it is to trick her back to live for a few days." ”

"You don't need to say this, you just need to do it for me."

Xiaoling had a smile on his face, and looked at him and nodded vigorously,

Approaching the new capital of King Xiang's city, Chen Min went out of the city for thirty miles to greet him, originally he was going to welcome a hundred miles, but he heard that King Feng couldn't change his route temporarily, so he had to change it to thirty miles.

After handing back the borrowed soldiers, He Ran didn't even want to enter the city, but Chen Min whispered in his ear: "Shunguo sent a secret envoy a few days ago, saying that their general Bai Gongbo wants to invite the military advisor to meet secretly by the Rolling Dragon River. ”

He Ran frowned slightly, he was so bored in his heart, what he was tired of was not the White Palace Bo but the timing he chose, how many days would it take to delay, but he had to go to this secret meeting, it was imperative for Yi and Shun to join forces, even if the White Palace Bo didn't come to meet He Ran, he was thinking about how to meet him, it seemed that the hero saw the same thing, and he had no choice but to suppress his desire to go home.

After entering the city, he immediately summoned the secret envoy, and agreed the meeting place on the side of Xiangguo, the secret envoy heard him say the date of the meeting, and couldn't help frowning, counting the next day, the general had to rush here after hearing the news, he wanted to postpone it for a few days, but He Ran resolutely refused,

After the secret envoy went, He Ran only stayed in Xindu for two days before going to the Rolling Dragon River in disguise, and all the guards also changed their uniforms to the Xiang army, and the remaining 7,000 troops were stationed outside the city.

This road is very leisurely, He Ran accompanied Mingqin tea to watch the mountains and enjoy the water, and when there is a big town, go in and hang out, Mingqin tea is fresh to see, forget the worries of the coming day, such as a flower delicate face blooming a fascinating smile,

On this day, he came to the small riverside town of Anliu, the guard here is his old department, He Ran sent Zhong Cheng to contact him privately, and ordered him to prepare the next big ship, and put up red, yellow, and white flags on the mast, in order to keep it secret, he didn't even enter the city, and climbed a hill to accompany Mingqin Tea to enjoy the scenery along the river for a while, and waited for the boat to be ready before going down the mountain to board the boat,

Mingqin Chaduo was the first time to take a boat, and when he first got on the boat, he was scared when he shook slightly, and after a while, he gradually got used to it before he dared to look at the water by the railing, and it didn't take long for him to be bolder again, and he whispered to He Ran: "Why don't you start the boat yet." ”

He Ran kept looking at her, and couldn't help laughing when he heard her ask: "Don't be afraid." ”

Mingqin Chaduo pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm still a little scared, but it's better." ”

He Ran gently combed her sideburns and said, "This boat is not open, but if you are not afraid, I will let them row in a circle for a while." ”

Mingqin Chaduo looked at him affectionately and said, "You treat me so well." ”

He Ran smiled and held her hand, and ordered the boat to cruise nearby,

As soon as the boat moved, Mingqin Tea Duo snorted and hugged He Ran's arm tightly, which made He Ran laugh again, and after a while, Mingqin Tea Duo got used to it, and the corners of his mouth and eyebrows were full of joy, enjoying the wonderful feeling of floating on the water,

He Ran looked at the heart of the river from time to time, and soon after, a small boat came by the waves, and when he went close, He Ran saw that it was Bai Gongbo who was standing on the bow of the boat, and he ordered to dock, and slowly got off the boat and stood on the shore to wait.

After the boat docked, Bai Gongbo jumped down, showed a rare smile at He Ran and said: "After a long time, the demeanor of the military advisor is better than in the past." ”

After He Ran returned the salute with a smile, he pointed at him with his hand with the look of an old friend reunited, and said with emotion: "Don't hide it from the general, I really miss you since the separation of Zhao Guo." ”

The White House laughed and said, "It's because you miss my head." He was originally a person who didn't smile, but when he met this, He Ran couldn't help but laugh.

He Ran smiled even more happily, and led him to the big ship arm in arm, and the guards who were on guard around saw that Bai Gong Bo did not bring a guard, and they were all relieved, Zhong Cheng ordered them to retreat, and he and Yunye boarded the ship to escort,

After boarding the ship, Bai Gongbo saw Mingqin tea at a glance, and asked in amazement: "......Who is this?"

He Ran introduced: "This is the wife of the little brother Jing. ”

Of course, Bai Gongbo knew that He Ran's wife was Princess Zhuyin, and at this time, when he heard him call this woman his wife, he couldn't help but be suspicious but it was inconvenient to ask more, so he had to see the ceremony of the main room.

Mingqin Chaduo has always recognized herself as He Ran's concubine, and now she can't help but panic when she hears him introduce outsiders like this, she is already familiar with the etiquette of the Central Plains, but she can't dare to return the ritual of the main room, and she doesn't know what to do.

He Ran saw her embarrassment, smiled and asked her to go to the cabin to rest, and then let those guards standing in the ship go down, Yun Ye and Zhong Zheng still had to stay, otherwise the White House Bo Neng would kill him in the blink of an eye,

After everyone retreated, He Ran raised the wine bottle and said: "Brother Bai is very courageous, just by virtue of the courage to go to the meeting alone, the little brother is impressed, come, the little brother respects Brother Bai." ”

Bai Gongbo smiled faintly, raised the wine bottle and said: "Brother He is too famous, it is because Brother He has seen extraordinary that I have this courage, when it comes to courage, I have to bow down, your courage to envoy Zhao Guo is much greater than my going to the meeting alone, I am self-aware." ”

He Ran said with a smile: "In front of others, the younger brother dares to use this as capital to brag about himself, but in front of the white brother, it is not worth it." ”

After drinking with him, Bai Gongbo said: "On the contrary, those who don't understand the mysteries will feel that the mission is ordinary no matter how they say it, and those who understand the mysteries don't need to say much and feel ashamed." ”

"I'm embarrassed to praise you, come, for you and my brother to join forces to drink another bottle."

The White House nodded heartily and said, "It's really worry-free and effortless to work with you, don't say a word of nonsense, it's refreshing, drink together." After drinking, he raised the third bottle of wine and said: "I will borrow this bottle of wine to congratulate you on your triumphant return, the grassland that has been disintegrated has been so gently and skillfully made calm by you, to be honest, I never imagined it, many previous calculations have fallen into the void, alas, although unwilling but have to be convinced." ”

"Come and praise me again, you killed that trick halfway and it was ruthless enough, and we were so bad that I almost vomited blood."

The White House laughed, frowned after laughing, and said: "I still have something unclear in my heart, I don't know if Brother He can teach you,

"Brother Bai is polite, even if you have something to say, the younger brother knows everything."

Bai Gongbo laughed: "Jing Yu hurriedly retreated shortly after entering the grassland, what is going on, I have always been puzzled about this matter, did you scare him away or beat him away." ”
