Chapter 103: The Story of the National Teacher 1
The brief clash on the battlefield had subsided, and Han Xu and Zhu Rong had returned to the place where the two armies had confronted each other.
Jiang Yingnian and He Lanxiao didn't leave, they were still waiting there, seeing the two of them coming from afar, Jiang Yingnian hurriedly took a few steps forward and said with concern, "Han Xu, are you okay?"
Han Xu said, "I'm fine, Childe."
Zhu Rong saw that Jiang Yingnian was full of concern for Han Xu, in contrast, He Lanxiao's face was not shocked, as if the chaos just now was like nothing had happened to him, and her safety and life were none of his business.
She was angry and asked, "Uncle Helan, why don't you ask me if I'm okay, I'm okay?"
He Lanxiao glanced at her and said calmly, "If you had something to do, you would have shouted it out a long time ago, do you still have to wait for me to ask you?" What's more, with a master like Han Gongzi by your side, nothing should happen."
He hesitated for a moment, but still said what was in his heart: "Zhu Rong, this war was initiated by you, even if you are in any danger, you should think of it in advance, this is not an accident."
Zhu Rong saw him criticizing herself with a straight face, she chuckled lightly and said, "Every time you see me, do you have to talk to me in this manner?"
"What gesture?" He Lanxiao said calmly: "I am the national teacher of the Qiangwu Kingdom, and it is true that I think about my country, but what about you, as the queen of Quies, what good will it do you to start this war?"
Jiang Yingnian smelled the unfriendly breath in the air, and the two of them still couldn't talk well, so he walked over and pulled He Lanxiao's sleeve, and whispered, "Brother Helan, don't forget that we came to persuade her well, why are you talking like this, aren't you afraid of provoking her again?"
He Lanxiao gently patted the hand he was holding and signaled that it was okay. Helan Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Zhu Rong, you should grow up, now you are no longer a child, you can't be so rash anymore."
Don't look at Zhu Rong's mouth on weekdays, she can speak well, but as soon as she arrives in front of He Lanxiao, she is often unable to speak. Her eyes were red again, and she held back for a long time before she said, "Why are you teaching me a lesson? Didn't you say that you are now the national teacher of the Qiang Wu Kingdom? You are not my national teacher, so what qualifications do you have to teach me?"
"Yes, yes." He Lanxiao was slightly disappointed by her reaction, and he said in a low voice, "Okay, I won't talk about you, I really don't have that qualification to talk about you."
"Who do you think you are?!" Zhu Rong couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, flowing down her cheeks, she didn't care about wiping them and continued: "No matter how much I beg you, you don't want to come back, if you don't come back, you won't come back, but you still have to maintain this previous posture to teach me and reprimand me. Who are you?"
Helan was silent, not knowing if he was speechless or pondering something.
Jiang Yingnian couldn't get used to this kind of breathless scene, and tried to make a round and said, "Brother Helan, Zhu Rong, is there anything you can't say well? There's no need to make it so ugly every time, right? Everyone knows each other, if there are any problems, you can just say them, and if there are any contradictions, Han Xu and I can help you, we will do our best to help!"
He Lanxiao shook his head and said, "Nothing, everything just let it be."
"Is this just going with the flow?!" Zhu Rong couldn't help but shout: "If you leave me alone, leave behind the Quis country that is kind to you, then you go back to your Xuli country, even if you go back to Xuli, I won't have any complaints!" But you're ......."
Zhu Rong trembled his body, took a breath with difficulty, and said with a trembling corner of his lips: "You just ran to the Qiangwu Country, did you specifically want to go against me?"
He Lanxiao's eyes met her eyes and said, "I never wanted to go against you."
"You're working against me by helping Tasara! Can't you see that she bullied me? She wants to go against me at every turn, can't you see it?! Are you just like that, without a bottom line, pampering her and getting used to her?!" With tears in her eyes, she looked at him hatefully.
A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on He Lanxiao's face, and he was embarrassed and in pain. Zhu Rong stared at him unrelentingly, with an attitude of insisting that he give an explanation.
"Why, are you dumb?" Zhu Rong said contemptuously.
He Lanxiao clenched his fists tightly, and it took a long time to slowly let go, and he said with relief: "That Red Flame Basket, you and Tasara, each hold one, you and I both know this. Last time, Han Gongzi was poisoned and needed to use a red flame basket, why do you think I would go to the distance and not go to Tashara to ask for it, but to go all the way to Quis to find you?"
Zhu Rong frowned and said, "Because you're embarrassed to ask her."
He Lanxiao smiled helplessly and said, "Look, isn't what you said inconsistent? You keep saying that I am with Tasara, and others don't know what kind of unseemly relationship I have with Tasara. In the matter of the Red Flame Basket, you said that I was embarrassed to ask her for it, why am I embarrassed to ask her for it? I'm the national teacher of the Qiang Wu Kingdom, since I have such a good relationship with her, why should I be embarrassed?"
Zhu Rong was speechless for a while, and looked at He Lanxiao puzzled.
He continued: "There is only one reason, the reason why I came to you at the expense of the near and far is because there is no Red Flame Basket in Tasara, if you look for it in the mountains, I am afraid that it will not take much time, and the poison on the body of Han Gongzi can't wait, so I have to come to Quis to see if you can help."
Zhu Rong muttered, "How could she not have a Red Flame Basket? Obviously she and I each have a ......."
"She's for me." He Lanxiao said calmly: "Zhu Rong, there are some things you don't know, it's a long story, in short, no matter what Tasoro does, I owe her."
Zhu Rong looked at him in a daze and said, "What's ......?"
Considering that Jiang Yingnian and Han Xu were still standing on the side, He Lanxiao looked around, found a place where he could sit down, and said, "Sit down, if you don't mind listening to me tell a story that is not too short, just sit down and listen."
After everyone sat down, Helan Xiao recalled this past story lightly, and slowly began: "At the beginning of the story, I was still in Xuli, I was still very young that year, I like to travel everywhere to study, I am obsessed with studying all kinds of herbs recorded in medical books, I heard that there are any rare herbs, I can't help but find them myself."
"Once, I was out and about for months before I came home, and when I got home, I found someone else in the house, a woman from the Qiang Witch Kingdom that I had never seen before. Her name is Tong Yi, and she is a doctor of the Qiang Wu Kingdom who was accidentally rescued by my second brother in the mountains and brought home to recuperate."
When Jiang Yingnian heard this, his brows moved faintly, in the past, when he was training in the Beixin Xiang military camp, he had heard about the incident of the Helan family in the capital, and the time they fought in the Xiang military camp, Helan Yan joined the fight because someone mentioned this incident and angered him......
Jiang Yingnian's face remained silent and continued to listen to He Lanxiao.
He Lanxiao said: "Maybe it's because I was too young and too egoistic, I thought I was well-read and proficient in medical skills, so I had nothing to say to Tong, who was a medical woman, and I thought that the two of us had similar interests and were confidants who could best understand each other. But I just neglected one person, my second brother, my only brother, Ah Yan."
He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "At that time, I was so conceited, I only thought about myself, and I talked to you every day about things we knew, ignoring Ah Yan's feelings. Everything seemed to be logical, I told my father that I wanted to marry Yunyi, although my father minded that Yunyi was a foreign woman, but he couldn't resist my pleading, and he finally agreed. It wasn't until before and after I made a marriage that I actually saw that Ah Yan also liked to be one. He fell in love with Junichi even before me, but I was so immersed in my own world that I never realized it!"
Listening to He Lanxiao mention his past love for the first time, Zhu Rong felt tense, but he had to prick up his ears and listen carefully, lest he miss a word.
Helan Yan lowered her head in shame and said, "Ah Yan has been pampered by her family since she was a child, and everything can be obtained as soon as you reach out. But this time, the girl he wanted was taken away, and that person was none other than his big brother. Where can he swallow this breath, but willfulness is willful, he is a kind child after all, and he has not felt sorry for me in front of me from beginning to end."
Jiang Yingnian said: "
From the training camp to the barracks, Helan has always been the smartest and most powerful in our group. He doesn't seem to be willful, but has some indescribable indifference......
He Lanxiao shook his head slightly, and said, "At that time, he went to his father to make a big fuss, and his father was so angry that he reprimanded him. My father said that he couldn't get rid of Ah Yan, so he had to go and find a ......."
He sighed and said, "I don't know what my father specifically said to Yun Yi, anyway, Yun Yi left a short letter later, only saying that the marriage contract was dissolved and she was going back to the Qiang Wu Kingdom. I followed and went to the south to look for it, and I thought about getting it back......
He Lanxiao sighed with emotion: "After all these years, I really haven't gone back, and my father should have given up on me."
Speaking of this, Zhu Rong couldn't help but raise his doubts, and said, "But didn't you come to the country of Quis back then? Since you're going to chase after Yi, you should go to the Qiangwu Kingdom!"
"Not bad." He Lanxiao said, "At that time, I was heading all the way south, preparing to go to the Qiangwu Kingdom. But after I left the Nanqin border, I met a person."
He looked at Zhu Rong and said, "That's your father, he was dressed in civilian clothes at the time, I couldn't tell that he was the king of the country of Ques, but I saw that he was injured, so I didn't think much about it and rescued him and helped him stop the bleeding. Your father did not want to owe me this favor in vain, and insisted that I go with him to Ques, saying that he wanted to thank me repeatedly, but I could not refuse, so I followed Ques, and then I knew that he was the king of Ques......
He Lanxiao looked at Zhu Rong's eyes, a little more soft and loving, and he said softly: "You were only a little over five years old at that time, it was the cutest time, can you still remember that time?"
