Chapter 22: Suppressing Bandits (1)

The continuous rain lasted for three days, and Qin Ran knew that this time to suppress the bandits was definitely a thankless task, and it was estimated that Shang Shu had made that guy to make a moth, in order to join her.

Qin Ran hooked his lips and sneered.

The old fox is really a good plan, but I won't let you succeed so easily.

Finally, the continuous rain stopped after three days.

In the afternoon, Gu Yan came to the camp in Gyeonggi.

Although Qin Ran and Xie Shen didn't know Gu Yan's intentions, they also knew that Gu Yan would never come for nothing.

Xie Shen welcomed Gu Yan in, although his face was still the same as before, but there was still some meaningful emotion hidden in his eyes.

Gu Yan was a little puzzled, but he didn't know what Xie Shen meant, so he had to ignore the past.

Qin Ran was on the side, but he didn't notice anything unusual, and still respectfully let Gu Yan and Xie Shen sit on the upper seat, and asked someone to pour tea. After everything is done, sit down.

"Brother Gu, what are you doing this time?"

Xie Shen opened his mouth first, God knows how embarrassed he was sitting like this.

Thinking of this, Xie Shen glared at Qin Ran fiercely, and unexpectedly received a smirk from the latter.

Gu Yan pretended not to see the small movements between Xie Shen and Qin Ran, and slowly took a sip of tea, before saying in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty has appointed me as the military advisor for this crackdown on bandits, so I came to discuss the details with you."

Qin Ran was startled, almost choked on the tea, coughed earth-shatteringly, and hurriedly looked for a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. Gu Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, and when he had seen enough, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Qin Ran.

Qin Ran took it and smiled at Gu Yan with a distorted cough, not to mention how ugly that smile was.

"Be careful when drinking water in the future, don't always choke on water, you see how many times this is."

When Qin Ran heard this, he silently covered his face with a handkerchief.

Xie Shen looked at the situation of these two people and was silent.

It's too much... Ran girl is really unbelievable!

Xie Shen coughed lightly, "Lady Ran, pay attention to your demeanor in front of Brother Gu, the girls are not in a proper manner." Then he turned his head to Gu Yan and said, "What is Brother Gu's opinion on this crackdown on bandits?" ”

Gu Yan's gaze had just fallen on Qin Ran, and he knew that he had withdrawn his gaze without a trace when he heard Xie Shen's question, so he replied calmly: "Zhao Yan is a good material. ”

"Oh? Brother Gu is planning? ”

Before Gu Yan could answer, Qin Ran replied hurriedly: "What does Mr. mean, do you want to recruit Zhao Yan?" ”

"Le Yi is right, Zhao Yan's military attainments are very high, if he can be recruited, it will be a great help to my Daqi army."

"But according to Zhao Yan's various actions to the imperial court, it is not difficult to see that he hates my Great Qi Imperial Court to the core. How sure is Brother Gu that he can recruit him? ”

Xie Shen frowned and said, it would be good if Zhao Yan could recruit An, but it was very difficult.

"Then sir, will your majesty's side be in the way?"

"The day before yesterday, when I entered the palace, I told Your Majesty about this, and Your Majesty said that if you can add a tiger general to my Daqi, he has no opinion." Gu Yan glanced at Qin Ran when he heard His Majesty's words, and looked at Qin Ran and suddenly felt a little weak.

Qin Ran silently lowered his head slightly.

"However, Brother Gu, do you have any way to recruit this Zhao Yan?"

The more calm Gu Yan became, the more curious Xie Shen became.

This Zhao Yan is notoriously difficult, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to capture a tiger and wolf mountain for so long. What is Gu Yan's way to deal with this person.

"Sir, I'd like to know."

Gu Yan slowly put down the teacup and glanced at Xie Shen and Qin Ran, the latter of whom both looked like they were listening to him carefully. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"Do you know what kind of person Shang Shuling is?"

"Shang Shuling? Isn't that Hou Ye's nemesis? ”

Xie Shen didn't understand Gu Yan's intentions and asked.

"Treacherous, insidious, an old fox!" Qin Ran said it seriously, she really hated him, and every time he saw him, the look in his eyes could send chills down his spine. In his previous life, Shang Shuling impeached the Jianye Marquis Mansion many times, and even in the end, he died in Tianhe City, because of Shang Shuling's book.

It's just that Qin Ran hasn't seen him since he was reborn, but if you think about it, you know what an ugly face that old fox is.

Gu Yan didn't expect Qin Ran to say this, and was slightly stunned.

In his impression, Le Yi should have never seen him.

Later, he was relieved that the Jianye Hou and Shangshu Mansion were hostile relations, and it was normal for her to dislike Shangshuling. What's more, it is treacherous and insidious to establish a high book, and Le Yi is not wrong.

"Leyi, you have one less to say."

"What?"

"Shangshu Ling is lustful, and the world knows it."

When Qin Ran and Xie Shen heard this, they suddenly realized.

Xie Shen was the first to react, his hand clenching the teacup tightly.

"What does Brother Gu mean, then Shang Shuling and Zhao Yan still have this kind of blood feud?"

"Brother Xie is right, that Zhao Yan's sister was bullied to death by Na Shang Shuling, and finally he found his sister's body in the mass grave, and she has been tortured to the point of not being able to look like it, which makes people feel shocked."

"And then?" Qin Ran's voice was a little hoarse, and she asked.

She thought of her previous life, her second uncle's sister-in-law married a child of a family, this sister-in-law had been in love with her since she was a child, and she had already gone to Tianhe City and couldn't protect her, but then she heard that it was only two years before the sister-in-law who married out fell ill and died.

But that sister-in-law is very strong on weekdays, how could she die of illness after two years of marriage?

She later sent people to inquire in many ways, only to find out that the child of the family had a tyrannical temperament, and the concubine was tortured to death by him. My sister has a weak temperament since she was a child, and she is a concubine, so she doesn't dare to say anything even if she is wronged, and she boils herself to death.

The more Qin Ran thought about it, the more sad she became, she bit her lower lip tightly, and her eyes were a little red.

Gu Yan didn't expect Qin Ran to have such a big reaction, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only whisper.

"Leyi, what's wrong?"

"Ah, it's okay, it's just that I can't control it when I think of this Zhao Yan's sister being so miserable." Qin Ran pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, but in Gu Yan's eyes, he pretended to be strong.

Gu Yan's heart couldn't help but throb.

Gu Yan replied in a low voice, he couldn't show that he had unethical feelings for Qin Ran, so he could only suppress it ruthlessly.

Xie Shen gently patted Qin Ran's shoulder, and then said loudly: "What happened later?" ”

Later, Zhao Yan went to Shangshu Mansion, and as expected, he was beaten half to death and thrown out. After Zhao Yan was cornered, he went to Tiger Wolf Mountain to settle for the grass. ”

Gu Yan's voice was a little unstable, whether it was for Zhao Yan or Qin Ran, it was unknown.

Xie Shen was calm, he had fought all his life, he thought for a moment before he spoke.

"So, the focus of this recruitment is Zhao Yan's sister?"
