On the day of the return trip, He Ran got up early in the morning and finished freshening up, and sent someone to inform Dazai that he would wait for the customs clearance documents to leave.

Hong Qi ran in in a panic and reported: "Military Division, King Zhao is here!" ”

He Ran was taken aback, his face changed slightly, his heart began to sink, thinking that Zhao Min didn't want to let himself go, his wishful thinking was in vain, and he slowly walked out to greet him with a little dress, planning for the worst in his heart, at this moment he was really remorseful, he was really smart, he regretted not listening to Zhuyin's words, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see Su Xiyao and them in this life.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Zhao Min walking into the inner courtyard with a smile on his face, and he hurriedly walked a few steps forward to give a salute.

"The military advisor has to be polite! The widow is really going to blame you! Zhao Min held him up, smiling with a slight reproach on his face.

Coming to the hall, Zhao Min waved his hand to the attendants beside him and said, "You all go out." ”

Seeing that he didn't leave an attendant, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, wasn't he afraid that he would fight to the death? Or does he have another purpose? He tried his best to remain calm, and asked with a smile: "The foreign minister really didn't expect the king to come back so soon, and he was about to leave for his return." ”

Zhao Min pressed him to the seat, and he sat opposite him, and said apologetically: "Don't blame the military advisor, it's rude for the widow to throw the military advisor here to go out of the city to hunt, there is really a last resort here, there is a huge man in the suburbs of Dingyang, this person is rich and rivals the country, and has raised more than a thousand minions, and he has made friends in the court and local officialdom, and he doesn't pay taxes even if he doesn't pay taxes, and the widows who rob men and women are rampant in the township can't take care of him now, but he is so arrogant that he beats and kills honest officials who don't go along with him, Thinking that this small number of rebels in the suburbs of Wangcheng is a disaster after all, so the widow wants to spare time to exterminate it in one fell swoop these days, these people are well-informed, and many officials in the court are colluded with them, and send troops to suppress it. It was the widow who came up with a strategy to hunt in the name of hunting, with the strategy of raiding with the hunting guards, and the arrival of the military division should have been delayed and then implemented, but the secret report was obtained that night, the giant man had a new son, and the next day he wanted to hold a big banquet to celebrate, the opportunity was rare, and the widow led the troops out of the city before he had time to inform the military division, lest he leak the news and could not let others tell the military division the inside story, hoping that the military division would understand, and the rebels had not yet exhausted the widow to learn that the military division was going to return to China. I was released late last night, and I came early this morning to ask the military advisor for my guilt. ”

He Ran listened to his compilation so satisfactorily, and his words were so sincere, so he smiled and said: "The king's words are serious, how dare the foreign minister blame the king, the foreign minister has already deeply felt the king's kindness to the foreign minister, even if the king does not explain, the foreign minister has roughly guessed that the king's hunting trip may have other plans." ”

"Hahaha, if the military advisor had guessed some clues, then the widow's guilt would not have to be so heavy, and it would be really pleasant to get along with such a wise person as the military advisor." Zhao Min smiled happily.

He Ran also smiled happily and said, "It's because the foreign minister is in a hurry to go back at the moment, it's really because there is an urgent matter in the country to deal with, and it's definitely not because he is dissatisfied with the king." ”

"No, no! It's rare for a military advisor to come once, how can the widow leave before he has time to entertain him? If the military advisor insists on leaving, the widow thinks that the military advisor is still blaming the widow for his slow treatment! Zhao Min frowned, his expression was extremely sincere.

He Ran's heart sank again, and he said with a bitter face: "In this ......, the king's kindness has made the foreign ministers extremely grateful in their hearts, but He Ran is a minister of Yi State, and he does not dare to serve the disloyal king, at this moment, there is something in the country, how dare the foreign minister delay?" I hope that the king will understand the difficulties of foreign ministers. ”

Zhao Min shook his head and said: "If the military advisor leaves today, not only will the widow feel guilty in his heart, but the people of the world will also think that the widow is ungrateful, and the military advisor will stay for two more days even if he is embarrassed, otherwise the widow will personally hold the Ge as an attendant outside the door and never let the military advisor leave." ”

He Ran heard him say that he could stay for two more days, and after thinking in his heart, it should be too late, so he hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Why should the foreign minister be responsible for what the king said about this?" Even if the foreign minister goes back and wants to be punished by the king of my family, he is willing to stay for one more day, please don't blame the foreign minister for not knowing how to raise it, and if you drown the foreign minister any more, you will be ashamed of my king. ”

"This ......, okay, the loyalty of the military advisor can be seen from the sun and the moon, and the widow will be reluctant to do it again, and the widow will come to see off the military advisor in person the day after tomorrow."

He Ran heard that he actually agreed, and his heart was happy and confused, and it was hard to guess what he thought in his heart, and secretly prayed that there would be no more chaos within this day.

After explaining the matter of going out of the city, it was time to further calm his mind, Zhao Min smiled and said: "O military advisor, the widow wants to emulate the ancient king's act of giving the foreign minister a new crown, so as to express the widow's gratitude to the military advisor, and the craftsman has been building it at this moment." ”

Zhuyin talked about this kind of thing when he was tutoring him in history, and when He Ran heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The king can't help it, the king's benevolence and virtue can be compared to the holy monarch, but how can He Ran be compared to the sages who have been crowned?" I don't dare to accept it if I don't want to accept it. ”

"The widow looks at the virtue and merit of the military division and the sages, so don't shirk this matter, and the widow will send important ministers to send the tripod to show off his deeds." Zhao Min didn't allow him to argue.

"The foreign minister is really ashamed of the king's grace!" Thanking him in his mouth, He Ran became more and more confused in his heart, looking at Zhao Min like this, it really didn't look like he had made up his mind to deal with himself.

Zhao Min smiled with satisfaction, took out a brocade box from his sleeve, opened it and pinched out a golden tripod the size of a fingernail, handed it to He Ran and said: "Even if you give a heavy tripod, it is not enough to express the gratitude of the widow to the military advisor in his heart, this golden tripod is a thing that the widow loves, and he can't show his merits to the military advisor's side attack on Xiping, so the widow will thank him with this tripod." ”

He Ran felt that it was redundant to be humble at this time, so he got up and took the golden tripod with great dignity, and said, "He Ran is not against the king's good intentions, and I am ashamed." ”

Zhao Min saw his solemn expression, and his heart was very happy, and he was relieved: "That's it." After he sat down, he suddenly laughed, "Strategist, the widow almost did something bad this time, but it really scared the widow into a cold sweat." ”

He Ran was puzzled: "What makes the king so frightened? ”

Zhao Min smiled and couldn't help himself, and said: "It's the matter of the old man of the military division, hahaha, don't blame the military advisor, the widow came back last night and really wanted to come to see the military advisor immediately to explain the matter of going out of the city, but I was afraid of disturbing the good dream of the military advisor, so I summoned the old man of the military division to ask, I wanted to find out if the military advisor was blaming the widow, but when I asked, hahaha, I was shocked in a cold sweat, and then I couldn't help laughing. ”
