Chapter 35: The Battle of the Heart (I)

Back in the house, Baili saw that he was empty-handed, and rummaged in his sleeves and arms with a red face, but he didn't see anything interesting, so he couldn't help but smile and poke his forehead with his jade finger and said, "Didn't find it?" I see what you have to do with me, wait for Mrs. Ben to take your life! ”

He Ran said disdainfully: "Are you really looking for those things?" Hey, this general has the courage of ten thousand women, why do you need to use foreign objects to deal with you? ”

Bai Li was amused by his "ten thousand women" and giggled, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

He Ran said in a low voice: "Didn't you see the guards glancing at me when they brought the tea just now, I went out to see, it was Zhao Zhong who sent someone to find out the news." ”

Bai Li's face immediately changed, and he asked nervously, "Are you asking me about serving you?" ”

He Ran nodded.

"You...... How do you answer? Thyme's hand gripped his arm tightly.

He Ran licked his lips and said, "Madame has to give some reward and ask again, my mouth is dry when I tell that person." ”

Seeing him like this, Baili Jue relieved his heart slightly, glared at him with disgust and said, "People's hearts are panicked, and you are still teasing others!" As she spoke, she leaned in and kissed him with her cold little mouth.

"Nothing else?" He Ran asked with a wink.

Baili Jue was anxious and hateful: "Say it quickly, Mrs. Ben's reward method is that you can do whatever you want in a while, you want to kill me in a hurry!" ”

He Ran then took her into his arms and whispered, "I told him that it is enough to have a lady as a companion here." ”

Baili was overjoyed, hooked his neck and kissed him fiercely, before he said: "Just say this sentence and your mouth is dry?!" ”

"Although it is only one sentence, doesn't Madame feel that it is worth a thousand words?"

Baili was in a happy mood and said in a greasy voice: "The concubine wants to reward you with all the reward methods one by one!" ”

He Ran played this scheming with her in order to stabilize her first, although it can be seen from her words and deeds that she is sincere to herself now, but who dares to guess a woman's heart, let her see the hope of life, even if she still suspects that she has betrayed her, most of the time she will not act impulsively. At this time, there was a faint pain in his abdomen, but fortunately, the pain flashed away, as if to warn him, He Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this princess Jingxian's soul was really entangled in herself, thinking of the princess who was miserably steamed because of herself, her heart couldn't help but be gloomy, and at the same time, she had a strong hatred for the cruel Prince Xiping, and the account of her abdominal pain was to be recorded on his head.

After waiting for two days, Zhao Zhong came.

He Ran was afraid that he would reveal his identity in front of Baili Xuan, so he met him in the front hall. Zhao Zhong came to pass on the message of King Zhao.

Sending Zhao Zhong away, He Ran did not go back to the inner courtyard, but took a leisurely walk in the garden, Zhao Min politely rejected his request on the grounds that the road was far away and his whereabouts were uncertain, and his words were very polite, which was expected by He Ran, to his surprise, Zhao Min said that he would return to Dingyang in ten days, and asked him to be patient and not return to China.

According to He Ran's previous expectations, Zhao Min's trip would have to be delayed for a month, and it would be best to drag himself back to Yiguo if he couldn't afford to wait. His previous guess was that after Zhao Min saw through that Yi Guo was going to form an alliance with Fanbang, he must have immediately sent envoys to Fanbang, wanting to form an alliance with Fanbang first. In that case, the longer Zhao Min delayed himself in Dingyang, the better, and the envoys of Zhao State would have plenty of time to lobby King Fan. Going out of the city to hunt was a good strategy, and it could have been delayed for a while, but why did he say that he would be back in another ten days? He Ran pinched his fingers and counted the days, frowning slightly, even if the envoys of Zhao State hurried up and hurried up, they might not see King Fan for more than ten days, could it be that Zhao Min was completely sure that he had reached an alliance with King Fan, so he didn't have to wait for the envoy to come back to report the victory before he dared to let the people of Yi Guo go to see King Fan? Or had Zhao Min thought of forming an alliance with Fanbang earlier, and the envoys he happened to send would be able to return in a few days? Still is.......

He Ran thought about it and suddenly sank in his heart, could it be that the secret envoy he sent to Fanbang was captured at the border of Zhao State? If that's the case, it will be miserable, Zhao Min dragged himself here, he is very likely to mobilize troops and horses to prepare for a surprise attack on Yi Guo, pinching his fingers and repeatedly calculating the itinerary of the secret envoy, he was a little relieved, and secretly prayed in his heart that this brother's efficiency should not be too high, if he really got the letter of the king and his relatives smoothly, Ma Ma Lili rushed all the way back, and was really caught by Zhao Ren at the border pass, then he didn't want to go back to Yi Guo again, this little life is not to say that it is almost the same here.

Walking to a pond, he summoned the red man behind him to his side and asked in a low voice, "Isn't there any news from the secret envoy yet?" ”

Hong Yan also lowered his voice and said, "It's been half an hour since the person sent to inquire about the news has been there, and he should be back soon." ”

He Ran nodded lightly and advised: "You must be careful again, don't let the Zhao people follow you, now that the secret of the flying pigeon is exposed, if the news passed on falls into the hands of the Zhao people, it will not only be a matter of life and death for us people." ”

Hong Yan replied confidently: "Don't worry, second brother Su's Yibaozhai has more than one store in Dingyang, the brothers take turns to go out to visit this store today, and visit that store tomorrow, Zhao Ren will not have any doubts even if he follows behind, the flying pigeon site here is the earliest, and there will be no problems with the contact between Yibaozhai, even if something goes wrong, the news is also passed on by word of mouth, these brothers are all loyal to the death, and they will never leak half a word if they are caught." ”

He Ran began to stroll with a void gaze again, thinking about why Zhao Min came back so soon? He calculated that Zhao Min would send envoys to Fanbang, but what he didn't calculate was that Jing Yu had already learned about the princess of Fanbang, and he also planned a plan to let Zhao Min marry the princess of Fanbang.

Zhao Min listened to Jing Yuan's analysis of the marriage proposal, and felt that it was very likely that King Fan would agree to this marriage, so he had the words of returning to Dingyang in ten days, Zhao Min didn't want to use the hunt to delay a few more days, he was calculating the time every day, and at the same time estimating He Ran's tolerance limit, in fact, he didn't dare to go far at all, and sent the Praetorian Guards to blwart to hunt, and he secretly lived in a palace only twenty miles away from the city, in order to rush back at any time if He Ran played any tricks. He clearly knew that even if he formed an alliance with Fanbang, he couldn't tear his face with Yi Guo now, and he had to try his best to hide this marriage from Yi Guo, and the longer he hid it, the better, which he thought of when he sent the envoy, and specially instructed him that if King Fan agreed to make peace, he must ask King Fan to keep this secret to the outside world temporarily. In this regard, he coincides with He Ran's approach.

Zhao Min always had a picture in his mind that made him nervous, Zhao Guo was now like a person hanging on the edge of the cliff with exhaustion, holding a branch in each hand that could break at any time, as long as he took a little breath, he could save enough strength to climb up, the only thing he hoped for at this moment was that the two branches could hold on for a while, if one suddenly broke, then the other one was likely to be overwhelmed and broken. One of these two branches is Kang Guo and the other is Yi Guo. He has repeatedly reminded himself in the past few days that he must master the scale, no matter what, he can't force He Ran to be in a hurry, as long as he survives this hurdle, and when the alliance with the Fanren is consolidated, they can send troops to help at any time, then there is no need to be afraid of anything.
