Tianhe Gong didn't know whether He Ran's plea was okay or not, and turned around and walked towards the palace.

He Ran shouted from behind: "Uncle! Uncle!! ”

The king of Tianhe did not return, and walked straight into the mansion, and the gate was closed immediately.

The general in charge of the siege came over at this time, scratched his head and asked, "Military division, if they don't surrender all the time, will we always surround like this?" ”

He Ran looked at the door and shook his head with a melancholy expression.

The general couldn't pay attention to the meaning of the military advisor for a moment, and at the same time saw that the military advisor was reluctant to speak at the moment, so he had to look at the general who was already standing aside with an inquiring gaze.

Xu Tong waved his hand at him and said, "Long-winded! Do what you are told, and you will always be around until you have the order to withdraw the siege. ”

The general hurriedly retreated.

Xu Tong whispered to He Ran: "What do you think?" ”

He Ran still shook his head.

"Then let's go back first, gather around here first, let's go to the celebration banquet, I'll get them all ready." Xu Tong pulled him.

He Ran didn't move, his eyes were still looking at the door of the mansion, and Xu Tong had to stand on the side to accompany him.

After a while, He Ran slowly turned around and said, "Let's go." ”

Not long after the two walked out, there was a heart-rending howl in the palace, and a military academy rushed over to report it, and most of the shouts were Tianhe Gong who committed suicide.

He Ran only nodded slightly when he heard the report, and Xu Tong asked, "Are you sure that he will kill himself?" If you didn't leave just now, you just wanted to wait for the news of death? ”

He Ran sighed and said: "A generation of loyalty, the grievance of death, the old man lost his son, the second was lost in battle, and the monarch was not virtuous, this third article was especially difficult for the old man to bear, and a loyal and martyr like him could only die to seek relief." ”

When the two walked back, the door of the mansion had already been opened, and a group of guards had already sent their weapons outside.

Entering the courtyard, Tianhe Gong's deputy general Xun Gu was already waiting here, wiping his tears and stepping forward to salute, choking and saying, "Grandpa ordered me to abandon my weapons and surrender." ”

He Ran had several relationships with him, patted him on the shoulder and said: "You know, the Jin family has a great favor to me, you help me appease the brothers, I am willing to go and stay as you wish, the funeral is the most important thing at the moment, and the old man is well buried, and you have to send the coffin to the ancestral coffin for burial." ”

Xun Gu said ruthlessly: "Jin Yun has told us everything about Dingyang City, and the military advisor has done his duty to the grandfather and young master, so we are willing to follow the lord of benevolence." Tianhe Mansion is a loyal martyr, but it ended up like this, we are already cold, although the old man passed on his deathbed that the children of the Jin family must not fight back, but I made up my mind to resist a life, the coffin is handed over to the gold weapon, Jin Yun and they escort it, if the military advisor can trust me, Xun Gu is willing to serve as a pawn in front of the horse, I know the geography and garrison of this area, I want to see the fate of Zhao Min with my own eyes, and then tell the old man and the young master! ”

"Just as you want." After He Ran finished speaking, he entered the lobby under the guidance of Xungu.

The children of the Jin family in the hall were all in tears, but they no longer wailed, and the suicide of the old man could be said to be expected by most people, so the grief at the moment was not too strong.

He Ran saluted the corpse as a nephew, Xu Tong and others also saluted one by one, and the chief guard Jinqi was the nephew of Tianhe Gong, and he was on the side at this moment as a filial son.

After arranging the funeral, Xu Tong whispered: "I think this celebration banquet will be forgotten." ”

He Ran thought for a while, and said: "This way to attack the city and pull out the village, the soldiers are quite hard, and now they have laid down the Qulan Pass, it is time to take this opportunity to soothe, today is a little inappropriate, postpone it to tomorrow, tell everyone to eat and drink to their heart's content, but the drum and trumpet will not be played, I want to keep the spirit of my brother here for three days, and I will not go to celebrate with everyone." ”

Xu Tong agreed with his sympathetic subordinate arrangement, and insisted on keeping a guard for the Tianhe Gong, firstly, because it was appropriate to have the same hall as a minister before, and secondly, he admired the old man's personality from the heart.

That night, Yunye, who was in the camp outside the gate, came and had to pay tribute.

After the weeping sacrifice of the child, the three of them came to the side room to rest.

Drinking tea, Xu Tong sighed: "Good people are really not rewarded, the old man and Brother Jin, there is no choice for virtue and talent, and in the end they will not die well, what do you say is the reason for this?" ”

Yun Ye shook his head and sighed.

He Ran put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Heavenly reason is in the hearts of the people. ”

"!" Xu Tong snorted disappreciatively.

He Ran said unhurriedly: "This is not, the so-called heavenly principles, in short, are fair and just, because you have heavenly principles in your heart, so you will complain for them, everyone has heavenly principles in their hearts, then heavenly principles are practiced in the world, and now the world is not too bad, most people still have heavenly principles in their hearts, and Zhao Min will also get retribution." ”

Xu Tong said: "What if you kill Zhao Min? Lao Guogong and Brother Jin can't be reborn, the heavenly principles I talked about are not what you said, good and good are rewarded with evil, and evil is the principle of heaven, good people should not be harmed by evil people, they are all killed, and it is useless to say anything. ”

"Yes, yes, what the general said is true, since it is the principle of heaven, we should not wait for the wicked to do evil before they are punished." Yun Ye echoed with the same feelings.

"According to you, this bad man is born to die?" He Ran squinted at the two of them.

"It's really like this, but it's a pity that God doesn't open his eyes." Xu Tong said excitedly.

He Ran said eloquently: "You are wrong, the theory of heavenly principles is precisely because of the wicked, first by the wicked and then there are heavenly principles, if all the world is good, there is no evil deed, where is the heavenly principle?" ”

In terms of eloquence, a hundred Xu Tong and Yun Ye are not He Ran's opponents, the two glanced at each other, Xu Tong was unconvinced and said: "Anyway, Tianli is more than what you say is fair and just. ”

"You're right, so what I'm saying is in short, of course, there are other things, but what, the world expects too much from heaven, if you can be fair and just, this world is already a peaceful world, and ah, why doesn't God open his eyes, do you know that God didn't mean it? I thought: Man is born to suffer. This world may be the purgatory where God punishes the wicked, and all living beings in the world are guilty bodies, so God will not let us live happily. ”

Xu Tong rolled his eyes at him again and again and said: "Okay, you, the whole world belongs to you to live freely, you become famous at a young age, the power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, you can do whatever you want, who dares to say 'no' to you?" A beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine in a garden, you alone account for two of the four beauties in the world, and you are still 'born to suffer', it is really not a shame to say? ! ”

He Ran sighed: "Are you willing to be in power with the opposition?" Do you know how much thought you have to go in secret? It was a young man who became famous, but it was in exchange for fighting with his head, the rush of the whole world, I ran five or six out of ten percent of the world, isn't this suffering? It is true that a beautiful wife and concubine have a garden, but there are a few days in a year when I can enjoy myself at home, and I can't get close to them like beautiful flowers, which has become a hard thing. ”

Xu Tong smiled dumbly and said, "You can really say it, I don't want to say it in my heart, so you just go back." ”

He Ran didn't have a smile on his face, and said with a gloomy expression: "Being in purgatory, it is naturally fettered everywhere, and affection is also a kind of righteousness, with a blood debt, how can I say that I will go back, kill Zhao Min, kill Ji Gong, and ......, alas, look at it, there are many things to come." ”

"What else?" Xu Tong stared at him and asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." With that, he closed his eyes tiredly.
