Chapter 186: Making Your Own Decisions
On the sparkling river, a small boat is moving smoothly.
Yan Ran vomited from seasickness, and her face turned pale.
Wen Rong'an's eyebrows were frowning, and she was distressed: "If we knew this was the case, we wouldn't have taken the boat." ”
Yan Ran took a bite back to prevent Ye Ci from biting, so she acted separately with Zhang Jian and others, and took Wen Rongan and Qingxuan to change the waterway.
Yan Ran had also taken a boat in her previous life, and she was not so uncomfortable, maybe it was because she slept too late last night that she was so uncomfortable.
Yan Ran lay in Wen Rong'an's arms, humming weakly.
Wen Rongan said softly: "Go and lie on the bed, it's time to sleep." ”
Yan Ran hugged Wen Rong'an tightly, and said coquettishly: "The bed is also shaky, I can't sleep." ”
Wen Rongan couldn't help laughing and said, "It's not shaking in my arms?" ”
Yan Ran was very cheeky, and responded as a matter of course: "Hmm." ”
Wen Rongan was helpless and funny, hugged Yan Ran gently, thinking of the things on the other side, he couldn't help but be a little worried: "I don't know what happened to Zhang Qian's side." ”
Yan Ran said confidently: "Don't worry, it will definitely go well." ”
Wen Rongan was still uneasy and said: "Ye Ci is not a brainless person, will he not be able to see that the ambush is fake, and he has been deceived?" ”
Yan Ran chuckled: "Soldier, treacherous." Even if Ye Ci is smart, he is just a scholar who talks on paper. The vegetation in the mountains is lush, and if someone hides in it, it is not easy to be noticed, but because of the wind, the grass and trees are stumbling, and it seems that there are people looking forward to it, which can confuse people's eyes; The valley is sandwiched between two mountains, low and narrow, and will produce echoes, only a few people shout in unison, it can shake the heavens and the earth, as if there are thousands of troops, in order to create momentum. This kind of way of not getting tired of deceit that is not unobtainable in actual combat, what does he know! ”
Wen Rongan looked at Yan Ran's triumphant appearance, and his eyes were gentle and doting: "You know a lot." ”
Yan Ran was even more proud: "Of course! ”
Wen Rongan asked again: "Then how are you sure that King Guangling will not be suspicious of what Zhang Jian said?" ”
Yan Ran said: "King Guangling is different from King Yongning, King Yongning's throne was inherited by his ancestors with real military exploits, and he is very confident, so he dares to make trouble in the palace for his favorite concubine; And the throne of King Guangling was smashed by the pie in the world, and he may lose everything he has now one day. He is greedy for pleasure, but he also has a heart of apprehension, and he must not want to cause more trouble.
Since Zhang Qian's identity is true, whether his trip is to raise military funds or for something else has nothing to do with King Guangling. In short, Ye Ci offended Zhang Qian, and King Guangling had to give Zhang Jian an explanation. Because Ye Ci is his person, and he has been charged with robbing military funds, if this matter is big, he will inevitably be implicated. Therefore, he would not doubt Zhang Qian's motives, and even if he did, he would not dare to verify it. ”
Wen Rongan listened to Yan Ran's analysis, was silent for a long time, and said: "Ranran, you are really amazing." ”
Yan Ran is not very old and has never left Anyang, but she knows so much about the situation in various places and the experiences and temperaments of these strangers, how can she not be magical.
Yan Ran was already dizzy, and after talking for a while, she felt very tired, and her reaction became sluggish, and she didn't hear Wen Rong'an's extraneous meaning.
She just looked at Wen Rong'an's deep and quiet eyes stupidly, immersed in them: "Cousin, are you praising me?" ”
Wen Rongan lowered her eyes and looked at Yan Ran, her eyebrows were raised lightly, she reached out to brush away the broken hair on her forehead, and said with a smile: "Well, I'm praising you!" ”
Yan Ran showed a happy smile, and nestled in Wen Rong'an's arms and fell asleep in a daze.
In order to avoid more trouble, Yan Ran and Wen Rongan took a detour and did not enter Guangling.
Yan Ran couldn't help but feel regretful, Guangling is rich, there are many beautiful scenery and delicacies, and it is a pity that he can't enter when he passes by.
When they arrived at the next ferry, Yan Ran, Wen Rong'an and Qingxuan finally got off the boat and joined the large army by land.
Because Yan Ran took a boat to detour, Zhang Jian and others entered the city first to rest.
Zhang Jian picked up Yan Ran and Wen Rong'an at the ferry and took them back to the city inn.
After settling down, Zhang Jian came to Yan Ran and reported to her: "Girl, Ye Ci has been executed according to military law for the crime of colluding with mountain bandits and robbing military rations. ”
Yan Ran breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
In her previous life, Zhen Yu was injured by Ye Ci and died of depression, but in the final analysis, her early death was inseparable from her own illness.
Therefore, Yan Ran just wanted Zhen Yu to stay away from Ye Ci at the beginning and avoid the tragedy of his previous life, and did not kill Ye Ci.
However, fate has made them meet who have already formed a grudge, and Ye Ci has already killed her, so don't blame her for being ruthless.
Zhang Jian continued: "In addition, when King Guangling learned about the preparation of military funds by his subordinates, he donated a lot of grain and grass to apologize. Originally, the girl asked her subordinates to exchange some of the goods for grain and grass in Guangling, but the amount of grain and grass given by the king of Guangling was very large, so the subordinates made their own decisions, accepted the grain and grass, and did not sell the goods. ”
Yan Ran frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, and responded, "Okay." ”
After Zhang Jian finished speaking, he took out a few boxes of various snacks and said to Yan Ran: "Girl, these are famous snacks in Guangling, you didn't enter the city, so your subordinates bought them for you to try." ”
Yan Ran was very surprised, and said in surprise: "Thank you, Zhang Qian, I didn't expect you to be quite careful." ”
Yan Ran said, then picked up the most famous cloud cake in Guangling and put it in his mouth, this cake is soft but elastic, smooth in the mouth, very sweet.
Yan Ran squinted her eyes happily, thinking of such a delicious thing, and hurriedly gave it to Wen Rongan to taste.
But I heard Zhang Jian say a little shyly: "The girl praised it falsely, her subordinates are rough-hearted, and Miss Jiang reminded her subordinates of this matter." ”
Hearing Jiang Siwan's name, Yan Ran was slightly stunned, and was about to ask her how she was, when she suddenly heard a melodious woman's voice ring outside the door: "General Zhang doesn't have to be humble, the slave family doesn't dare to take credit." ”
Then, I saw a blue shadow Shi Shiran walking in, it was Jiang Siwan.
She is wearing a very ordinary woman's dress today, without powder, but she still can't hide the beautiful brilliance.
Beauty is beautiful, but it didn't make Yan Ran's eyes shine, but she was surprised.
Yan Ran looked at Jiang Siwan who suddenly appeared in front of her, and suddenly felt that the pastry in her hand was not fragrant, and she was surprised and questioned: "Why are you here?" ”
Without waiting for Jiang Siwan to answer, Zhang Jian hurriedly explained: "Miss Jiang helped us testify against Ye Ci, if we continue to stay in Guangling, it is difficult to guarantee that King Guangling will not settle accounts after the autumn." Therefore, Miss Jiang wants to leave Guangling and go to Lindi to join relatives and friends, just along with us. She is a weak woman, and it is inevitable that there will be many inconveniences on the road alone, so her subordinates will take it upon themselves to give her a ride. ”
Jiang Siwan walked in front of Yan Ran, and Ying Ying bowed: "In the future, if you go together, you will have to make trouble for the girl, and the slave family will thank you first." ”
Jiang Siwan smiled lightly and behaved decently, but she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and she bit the word "girl" very hard.
Yan Ran's face immediately changed, and her eyes turned sharp.
Jiang Siwan used to call Yan Ran Mrs., but now she has changed her name to a girl, which shows that she already knows that Yan Ran and Wen Rongan are pretending to be husband and wife, and this matter must have been learned from Zhang Qian's mouth.
Yan Ran gritted her teeth fiercely, only to restrain herself from getting angry, she just looked at Zhang Jian with cold eyes, and said coldly: "First, Miss Jiang cooperated with us to get rid of Ye Ci, not to help me, nor to help you, but to help herself." Second, it's just three, you've already made your own decisions twice, and there's no chance to make a mistake a third time. ”
Yan Ran asked Zhang Jian to buy grain and grass in Guangling, and there were many considerations.
Bac Ninh is located in a bitter cold land, and the closer it is to Bac Ninh, the more barren it becomes, regardless of transportation, climate, land, and trade.
Otherwise, Yan Ran would not have to worry that there would be a war in the future and there would be a shortage of grain and grass in Bac Ninh, so she would transport grain and grass all the way over.
Among their routes, only Guangling was the richest, and the goods could be sold at high prices, and they could also buy high-quality grain and grass.
And in a place like Guangling, where giants gather, even if they buy grain and grass on a large scale, it will not arouse suspicion.
Zhang Jian did not continue to buy grain and grass according to Yan Ran's words because he considered that King Guangling donated a large amount of grain and grass.
Although Yan Ran was reproachful, she was not too harsh.
However, Yan Ran's departure from Anyang under the pretext of being assassinated and missing involved many people, which is an extremely secret matter and by no means an outsider.
But Zhang Jian actually revealed to Jiang Siwan that the identities of Yan Ran and Wen Rongan were fake, how could they not arouse suspicion?
This also made Yan Ran have to reconsider, although Zhang Jian has excellent martial arts and rich experience in marching and fighting, is he really reliable?
Facing Yan Ran's skeptical and scrutinizing gaze, Zhang Jian felt a pang in his heart.
Yan Ran didn't say anything more, and turned around and left directly.
After Yan Ran left, Jiang Siwan showed a look of grievance, and said softly to Zhang Qian: "General Zhang, is the slave family causing you trouble?" The girl seems to hate the slave family. ”
Zhang Jian eased his senses, recovered from Yan Ran's icy eyes, and comforted Jiang Siwan: "It was my mistake that made the girl unhappy, and it has nothing to do with Miss Jiang." I'll go back to the room first, and Miss Jiang should go back to rest early. ”
Zhang Jian said that, he also got up and left, and his enthusiasm for Jiang Siwan in his heart had cooled down a lot.
He originally thought that Yan Ran's wariness of Jiang Siwan for no reason seemed to be out of jealousy of same-sex beauty, which was really a little inexplicable.
But Yan Ran's faint rebuke and warning were like a slap in the face, which made him sober up instantly.
Although Jiang Siwan seems harmless, to them, she is a stranger after all.
The more one person who knows who they really are, the more dangerous they are.
Zhang Jian couldn't help but be secretly annoyed, he was really confused by beauty, why was he confused, and agreed to take Jiang Siwan with him?
There is still a long way to go to Lindi, and Jiang Siwan is extremely smart, getting along every day, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not find anything.
Jiang Siwan looked at Zhang Qian's back, the corners of her lips curled slightly, revealing a smile of unknown meaning.
