For two days in a row, He Ran had been discussing with Xu Tong and several close generals about the arrangements for the withdrawal of troops and the future strategy.

On the afternoon of the third day, He Ran felt that everything that should be explained had been explained, so he ordered the generals to retreat, and then said to Xu Tong: "I will go to see Mo Ju in a while, and I will leave for my return tomorrow, do you have anything else to instruct?" ”

Xu Tong shook his head and said, "Besides, it's like mother-in-law, you can rest if you want, but if there is any important military affairs, I still have to send someone to report to you, and it doesn't matter what you do." ”

"Unless it's the Kang army's attack, don't report anything else."

Xu Tong thought for a while and said: "There is one more thing, you go back and discuss it with Xiang Ling, I think it is better to let him come here, one is that he is far better than me, the second is that he has experience in implementing the new policy over there, and third, he is familiar with the geography here." Let's swap the two, there should be nothing going on on his side now, I'm not picking fat and thin. ”

He Ran nodded and said: "I also have this plan, both of us are not long-term, we are upset when we see government affairs, and the order is much stronger than the two of us, I will discuss it with him when I go back." ”

Xu Tong got up and said: "Then you go to see Mo Ju, since you have a dislike with the Queen Mother, let's meet before the battle, don't go to his camp, I'll wait and see in the city." ”

He Ran smiled and said, "You don't have to, it's not to that point." ”

Xu Tong couldn't rest assured, and after he left the city, he still climbed the city tower and ordered the soldiers to prepare for the battle.

He Ran arrived at Kangying, and after entering, Mo Ju came out to greet him.

After entering the big tent, Mo Ju waved away the attendants and frowned, "Why did you only stay for most of the day?" ”

He Ran smiled bitterly and said, "Don't mention it, I'm here to bid farewell to my brother, and I will return to the court tomorrow." ”

Mo Ju said with a solemn face: "It's okay not to mention it, how can you make my heart safe if you don't make it clear?" ”

He Ran sighed and said, "The Queen Mother asked for Qulan Pass and Baiyankou, I was a little reluctant, and I was unhappy about it, that's it, didn't she send you someone to receive these two places?" ”

Mo Ju's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "If the Queen Mother wants it, you will give it?!" ”

He Ran nodded and didn't speak.

"These two places are ......" Mo Ju didn't continue, how could He Ran not know the importance of these two places, how could he remind him. After a while, he continued: "There is a sentence that I know will make you suspicious, but I still have to say, this is none of my business, I know very well what these two passes mean to Yi Guo, if I had known that the Queen Mother had this intention, I would definitely try my best to discourage it." ”

He Ran smiled with satisfaction and said, "Don't hide it from my brother, I did have this guess before, my brother said this makes me feel much more comfortable, and the younger brother spends his brother's belly as a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he is ashamed to think about it." ”

Mo Ju frowned and looked at him and said, "You're going to leave like this?" Don't go to see the Queen Mother anymore? ”

"It's gone." He Ran stood up, and said goodbye: "Since the younger brother has already seen the responsibility of the Queen Mother, it is inconvenient to stay here longer, so as not to cause trouble for the elder brother, if the Empress Dowager really asks about this matter, then the elder brother said that I am here to discuss with the elder brother about the delivery of the pass, the younger brother has also planned to meet the Queen Mother before, and asked her to allow you and my brother to gather for a few more days, now it seems that it is impossible, the younger brother is not filial, and he cannot serve his brother." ”

Mo Ju grabbed his arm, pursed his lips, and said after a while: "Brother Xian, wait a few more days, I will go to see the Queen Mother, try my best to persuade the Queen Mother to change her mind, return these two passes to you, and wait for me to have news before leaving." ”

He Ran smiled slightly, and said: "Don't wait, the king urges me to go back, and if I have the news, my brother can inform the general, but in my opinion, my brother should not persuade him, I have already made arrangements, the reason why I was willing to agree at that time was to make her happy, as long as she can be happy, I will not hesitate to embarrass her." "Say goodbye again.

Mo Ju sent him outside the camp, and the two brothers parted with each other.

Xu Tong, who was on the city tower, saw that he came back safely, and his hanging heart relaxed, and asked him about meeting Mo Ju.

He Ran replied briefly, and then said with a happy smile: "I almost forgot, there is something I ask you." ”

Finally seeing him with a bright smile, Xu Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

He Ran said in a low voice: "Help me be a big matchmaker, the war is over, but it is not considered to marry before the battle." ”

Xu Tong laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I'm obligated to do this, you go back to the house and wait, I'll go." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Tong led everyone to see him off, and Huang Wan, who had a marriage contract, stood calmly beside her husband although she was shy. Everyone knows that the military division is not polite in terms of marriage, except for Princess Zhuyin, who came in a dignified manner, and the rest did not even perform the ceremony of the eldest princess, so Xu Tong was the first to change his mouth and call him Mrs. Huang Wan couldn't stand it anymore, so she hid her face and ran away in shame.

Farewell to everyone, He Ran all the way to the Red Valley and Baiyankou of the two people, according to the previous plan, the Dongfang Ao Department was transferred back to the southern line and the general's troops and horses were deployed to the east of Qulan Pass, Su Ming's department in the east of Baiyankou to choose another danger to lay down the defense line, as a preparation for handing over Baiyankou, Wang Jin's temporary command of 20,000 people and 10,000 horses handed over to Su Ming to temporarily guard Baiyankou, and the other 10,000 returned to the division with him.

After instructing the generals one by one, he and Wang Jin led 10,000 elites to embark on the return journey.

After camping on the first night, Wang Jin brought Bai Jiang into the tent to visit. Na Bai Jiangsheng's eyebrows were handsome, and his manners were decent, and he did not see the slightest timidity in front of him, the military division of the Yi State, Wang Jin looked very embarrassed.

He Ran was born with a strong heart, the more embarrassed Wang Jin was, the more he had to deliberately tease, and laughed: "It's indeed a good match, I'll be the big match." ”

Wang Jin saw his virtue and glanced at him angrily.

Bai Jiang's face was flushed, and she lowered her head, she has seen a lot of serious people, but she has not seen a few serious officials, not to mention that this young master has become a military advisor, although Wang Jin has hinted to her more than once, she also has some mental preparations, but how could she expect that this young master will be this as soon as he opens his mouth.

Huang Wan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, so she secretly pushed him and relieved the two of them: "Miss Bai, don't worry, your family's feud is wrapped up in General Wang, and those rabble don't have to worry." ”

When it came to the family feud, Bai Jiang's expression became sad, and he bowed upwards and said: "Heaven is unfair, the little girl is slaughtered, and the blood feud is all up to the military division and his wife, and the little girl is willing to be a maid in order to repay the great favor." ”

He Ran glanced at Huang Wan dissatisfied, and said, "What do you do to mention this, it makes her sad." ”

Huang Wan didn't expect him to be energetic, and she didn't know what to say about him.

He Ran saw her eyes widened, and he didn't dare to provoke her again, so he reassured Bai Jiang and said: "It's nothing, the rogue grass thief is not worth it, the army will be leveled as soon as it passes, in the thief's business, General Wang can be counted as their ancestor, just forget it for the maid, if it is really like that, General Wang has to beg me to be a slave in the house, hahaha." ”

Wang Jin really convinced him, it seemed that he was going to carry out the indecency to the end, he simply stopped pretending, and said with a bitter face: "My lord, you can't pretend to be a little bit when you meet for the first time?" What does this make her think of adults? Even if you don't care about this, you still ask your adult to give us subordinates a little face. ”

Huang Wan was relieved, and raised her finger at Wang Jin: "That's good! ”

Bai Jiang was panicked, Wang Jin's words were very disrespectful, and she looked at the magical military master nervously.

He Ran pursed his lips nonchalantly and said, "What a bad guy, I'm not giving you a long face?" When you are a brother, I can only speak freely, at this time, if you want to return the gift of the minister, then the matter of sweeping up the thieves will be done officially, and you will discuss it again when you return to the court. ”

Putting aside the others, his words really made Wang Jin feel a lot of face, and he hurriedly smiled: "You have to go, blame me for it, you can say whatever you like, say whatever you like, just don't scare me with Pingkou." ”

He Ran laughed and said proudly: "Dare to teach me? Hum! ”

Huang Wan pulled Bai Jiang, who was stunned, to sit on the seat next to her, and said with a smile: "Let you see and laugh, he is such a temperament, he is used to laughing with these brothers, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Bai Jiangqiang smiled, she was a long-term insight this time.
