At dinnertime, Xiaolai finally saw He Ran again, she hurriedly reported several government affairs explained by Zhuyin, and then said that Fan Yuan converted to the Holy Maiden Sect.

He Ran's mouth was perfunctory, and he seemed a little absent-minded, and he could see that he was thinking about something.

Soon Su Xiyao finished eating, Xiaozhu followed back to the main room, and when there were only two of them left in the dining hall, Xiaolai pushed him after adding food for him, and said with concern: "What do you want to worry about?" Seeing that you are really busy, Madame sent me here because she was worried about you, so you have to take care of your own points. ”

He Ran put his mind at ease for a while, and said with a smile: "I didn't think about anything, you don't have to worry about me, eat quickly, don't just take care of me." ”

Xiaolai sat down next to him, sandwiched a spoonful of vegetables for him, looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said, "You are really different from usual in the barracks." ”

"What's the difference?" He Ran asked with a smile.

"Well...... look in your eyes seems to have changed.

He Ran raised his eyebrows and deliberately made his eyes stern, "Really? ”

Xiaolai sneered and said, "I'm not afraid of this, but I'm really scared of the kind of eyes you inadvertently revealed, and I didn't dare to pant loudly when I saw it just now." ”

"Nonsense!" He Ran smiled and also served her a chopstick.

Xiaolai said seriously: "Really, really, you may not feel it yourself, but I really feel that kind of deterrence and murderous aura, you used to be angry at home and didn't have this kind of look." ”

He Ran said slightly apologetically: "In the army, all you think about is killing, maybe you are scheming when you think about it, don't be afraid, do what you want, I will not blame you no matter what, if you are not used to it here, go back, you don't have to accompany me to suffer in the army." ”

Xiaolai leaned on him affectionately and said: "I won't go back, since I'm here, even if I don't have Mrs.'s instructions, I should serve you wholeheartedly, even if I can't help other things, taking care of clothes and eating can also share some burden for Xiaozhu, I am grateful to repay it, and when I can use it, I won't waste your love for us on weekdays." ”

He Ran tapped the chopsticks in his hand on her nose and praised: "I knew that you were a person with a heart, and I really didn't mistake you." ”

Xiaolai said with a smile: "Actually, who of us doesn't miss your benefits, some words are boring, and no one will retreat if they really need it, before coming, even Xiao Qu's seemingly heartless person still pulled me for a long time, so that I must take care of you." ”

He Ran was quite moved in his heart, and advised: "I have long been accustomed to the hard days in the army, but you have to care more about yourself, don't just think about taking care of me, if I am really sick, I can't explain to anyone." ”

After only eating less than half of the rice in the bowl, He Ran stopped eating it, and his brows gradually furrowed.

Xiaolai asked softly, "Is there anything worrying?" Let's eat some more. ”

He Ran shook his head and said, "The battle ahead is about to be decided, I am waiting for news, I have a fire of impatience in my heart, and I can't eat it." ”

"Are we going to lose?" Xiaolai asked with concern.

He Ran was a little apprehensive at this time, and told her that it was just enough to distract his anxious mind, so he briefly talked about the previous situation, and then said: "There is no worry about losing the plan to flood the city, what I am afraid of is that the amount of water is not enough, or the failure to hold the drain, building a dam and storing water is not an easy job, it is said that this kind of rough work is done by the people, but now it is difficult to recruit enough manpower, so even the elite soldiers have been sent up, and the soldiers are tired because of it, if this plan does not work, it will not be possible to carry out the strategy of piling stones to attack the city in a short time." ”

"Then wait a few more days." Xiaolai understood and said easily.

He Ran took the tea she handed over, rinsed his mouth, and said: "It's not that simple, we are now two armies thousands of miles away from home, it can be said that they are in danger, if there is no accident, it is very dangerous, the sooner they converge, the better, only by breaking through Qulan Pass can there be the possibility of mutual rescue and mutual assistance, and then there will be room for maneuver." ”

Xiaolai seemed to understand the "oh", and suggested: "If there is no news in front, you can send a few more people to ask." ”

He Ran smiled and said: "How can there be no news delivered, at least two reports a day, but if this water is not released for a day, it will be difficult to know the result for a day, it should be tonight or tomorrow night." ”

"No wonder you're absent-minded, okay, I see, do you want to meditate on your own or do you want me to be there for you? Madame has told me not to disturb your mind. ”

Before He Ran could open his mouth with a smile, a maid came in and reported: "Yu military division, the report is about to arrive." ”

He hurriedly got up and walked out, and before going out, he didn't forget to tell Xiaolai: "You go back to the house to rest first, you are tired from the long journey, don't do anything." ”

When he came to the front hall, he saw that it was Sun Zhi, the general who came to report the incident, and saw that he was sweating profusely and obviously galloping all the way, He Ran was secretly shocked in his heart, this Sun Zhi was resourceful and decisive, but Xu Tong's right-hand man, flooding the city was imminent, and it was reasonable that he would be unable to leave, and it must be a major matter to send him to report the news.

Sun Zhi gave a salute, and without waiting for He Ran to ask, he stepped forward to report: "Yu military division, the general and the Dongfang general agreed to release the flood of the city tonight, and the fast horse to send the letter to the lord has been arranged, but suddenly there was a big change, and the subordinate was sent to the Ming military division. ”

He Ran nodded calmly, pointed to the seats of the first few cases and said, "What happened?" Sit down and speak slowly. ”

Sun Zhi stepped into the table, picked up the teacups on a few cases and drank them all, and then said without delay: "At noon, a hunter who called himself Bai Jun came to the barracks, saying that he had something important to see the commander of the army, and the general summoned him. ”

He Ran, who listened attentively, gently turned the bowl with the teacup, and asked without raising his eyelids: "Why did he come?" ”

Sun Zhidao: "He said that when he was hunting, he found out that we were building a dam to store water, and he saw through our plan to flood Qulan City. ”

He Ran put down the teacup and said, "Usual, since you see the dam, it's not difficult to guess." ”

Sun Zhidao: "The next thing is unusual, he said that he knew that the water was about to be released after seeing that the water was about to be released, so he hurriedly came to the barracks, and frankly admitted that his brother was a general in Qulan Pass, and asked us not to release the water for the time being, and give him half a day to persuade his brother to surrender He Ran frowned, looked at Sun Zhidao: "It should be suspected that it is a plan to delay the army." ”

"The lower official also thought so at the time, and after hearing this, the general directly ordered someone to escort him up, and he didn't ask about it, but he also had this concern in his heart."

"And then."

Sun Zhi frowned and said: "This Bai Jun wept and said, please take pity on him for filial piety, and then said the reason, he said, the lord of Qulan Pass will hear that the Yi army is coming, lest the soldiers on Qulan Pass be reluctant to rescue when Qulan City is besieged, so he came up with a bad idea, and sent the relatives of the generals in the city to live, and at the same time moved the relatives of the generals in the city to Guan, this Bai Jun's brother is the general of Guan, and he is a local, so not only his wife and children were sent to the city, but even his parents were also placed in the past, It was Bai Jun who was in a hurry when he saw that we were going to flood the city, and he didn't bother to go to his brother to discuss, so he ran directly to our side. ”

"Really?" He Ran asked.

Sun Zhi understood that what the military advisor was referring to was the matter of relocating family members in other places, and replied: "It is difficult to verify in a hurry, and the general has sent someone to the nearby village to inquire." ”

He Ran shook his body slightly, looking at the entrance of the hall with a blank look.
