The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 91 Renewing the old favor

On the square in front of the Taiwu Hall of Ye Palace

A few days ago, this place was where Ran Min and Shi's clan fought, and it was stained with blood, but now it has been cleaned, and the blue floor tiles are shining with a golden halo under the winter sun.

Two red carpets were spread directly from the palace gate to the red rhinoceros in the main hall.

Ran Min and Shi Yun walked forward slowly from outside the palace gate, and the civil and military ministers and soldiers of the begging army stood on both sides, but there were two children in the crowd, they were the two children born by Ran Min and his wife Dong Shi. The children Ran Yin and Ran Zhong, Ran Min didn't want their mother and son to be present.

The night before, Ran Min ordered people to close the gate of the mansion to prevent Mrs. Dong from leaving the mansion, but Mrs. Dong went to the front of the mansion and said: "Wei Wang has four seas in his heart, so I don't want to trap you in the affairs of your children. I have been in love for ten years, and now the king wants to be promoted to the throne, fearing that the country will be corrupted, and the Shi clan is the queen, how can I stop it with my own selfish desires." Dong said, only staring at Ran Min.Ran Min no longer wanted to face her anymore.

"Mother, I don't want my mother to suffer." At this moment, the youngest son Ran Zhong came out, weeping that he didn't want his father to marry again.

Dong Shi was not as gentle as yesterday and only said: "Go back."

Ran Zhong wanted to drag his mother again, but was slapped by his mother, and was about to cry when his elder brother Ran Yin hurriedly pulled him away.

Although Ran Min has a feeling of licking the calf in his heart, but now the situation is at this point and he can't retreat. He only sees the earnest eyes of the generals of the begging army behind him. What a pity for Ran Min.However, the ranks of thousands of Han people are tied to him alone, and they can only advance but not retreat, and retreat will be an abyss.

Ran Yin only bowed deeply: "I congratulate my father."

Ran Min only nodded slightly to Ran Yin, then turned around and shouted to his followers: "Let's go."

That day, in Dongming Temple, Shi Yun was dressing up in front of the mirror, Xiao Qiu was at his side. At this time, the wedding dress from the palace had been placed on the side of the room, and the red satin surface was covered with candlelight. The clothes showed a dark blood red color.

Xiao Qiu on the side couldn't help but said: "Princess, the visitor has urged you to leave quickly."

Shi Yun's affairs slowly combed her waterfall-like hair, and said nothing in front of the bronze mirror.

Xiao Qiu persuaded from the side: "Princess, the situation in Zhao country is turbulent now. Although it is a matter of expediency to marry Ran Min, after all, Ran Min is interested in you, princess. I heard from others that today's wedding is in the main hall of Taiwu Hall , originally only the empress had this courtesy."

Shi Yun said slowly: "What virtue and ability can I have? I wish to win the hearts of one, and the white head will not be separated. I would rather die alone, and also fulfill the relationship between him and Mrs. Dong."

Xiao Qiu hurriedly said: "Princess, don't say that, Ran Min will definitely not wrong the princess."

Shi Yun suddenly let out a "giggle" laugh, but it was terrifying. Xiao Qiu was at a loss and could only sit there.

After a long time, Shi Yun stopped whispering, and only said: "Your Majesty, Shi Jian, Li Jian, what happened to my Shi family, and now I want to exchange a woman for a night of peace." Shi Yun only took out that day. Bring the poison.

Xiao Qiu was shocked and said, "This is the princess?"

"That's right, I would like to use this thing to poison Ran Min and restore my Shi family's foundation."

"Princess, how could they?" Xiao Qiu only threw himself on the princess, "How could he think of such a thing, using the princess's marriage as a bait to kill Ran Min. Princess don't want it, don't want it."

While talking, Xiao Qiu wanted to pull the princess up.Shi Yun only said sternly, "Where is Li Tekang?"

Li Tekang flashed out from behind the screen, came up to Xiao Qiu and said, "Sister Xiao Qiu, I'm sorry." After speaking, he punched Xiao Qiu on the back of the head with his fist, knocking him out.

The princess just looked at the word "Tao" on the wall and muttered: "There is nothing in the world that is weaker than water, but no one can win against the strong, because there is nothing easy to do." Then she said to Li Tekang next to her, "Today's wedding Dadian, you follow me into the palace."

"Yes"

Shi Yun turned her head and gave him a deep look and said, "You have to cherish yourself and your life, there are always more important things in this world than revenge."

Li Tekang hesitated for a moment, then leaned over and said, "I'm not going to take the life of that dog thief Ran Min today."

"You?" Shi Yun was only a little sullen, "Don't you not understand my good intentions? You are so young, why bother to be blinded by hatred."

Li Tekang only exited the room, and said: "Princess, I will wait outside. I promise you this time, the rest has nothing to do with you, I have my own plan."

Shi Yun also walked slowly on the red carpet.

Ran Min took his thoughts away from the two children, and turned to look at Shi Yun on the other red carpet.

However, Shi Yun was still as quiet and indifferent as when he first met more than ten years ago.

"That year, Hualin Garden, Puchi.

Zhao Guo's five-way army marched south to the land of Jingyu, the Jin Dynasty, and returned victoriously. Zhao Zhu Shi Hute held a banquet in Puchi for the meritorious soldiers.

At this time, Prince Shixuan Donggong Zhonglang Zhu Bao stood up and congratulated him from a distance: "Today, my great Zhao Tianwei is manifested, and the defeat of Jin Shi in Mianyin is all due to the supernatural power of Emperor Zhao."

Shi Xuan saw that his subordinates were quite competitive, and he was also full of ambition and said to everyone: "Today, I am Dazhao, nine of the thirteen prefectures in the world, and the world of Zhongzhou is under my control. Wei Zhaozhao, I Gaoli the courage of the soldiers, the whole world will be in my hands Shi Shi."

Shi Hu also said on the throne in the middle: "What the crown prince said is true. The Jin family is lonely and weak, and the officials are swaying. Murong's family in Youping is bitter and cold. For example, the Zhang family in Xiliang is only a mere land in the west of Hexi. The land of Zhao is vast and the people are dense, and our high-powered soldiers are brave, and the unification of the world will not be far away."

Gao Li was Shi Xuan's elite teacher of the Zhao State, he was overjoyed to be praised by his father and emperor, and said: "I am Gao Li's strong soldier and I am also a strong son of my great Zhao. It is a blessing for my son to be driven by the country."

Kui'an, the governor of the conquest, advised: "Heavenly King, in this crusade, Shi Min has made great contributions. Although the soldiers of the Qihuo Army are Han Chinese, they are more loyal than our relatives. This time, Shijian's offensive was frustrated all the way. If it hadn't been for Ran Min led his troops to rescue them desperately, fearing that Shi Jian's army would be damaged."

Shi Hu only cast doubtful eyes on Shi Jian, who was seated last, and asked, "Jian'er, but this is the case?"

Shi Jian hurriedly kowtowed and said: "My son is ashamed of his father, and the loss of soldiers will humiliate our Zhao Guojun."

Shi Hu looked at Shi Jian, then at Ran Min, and said to all the soldiers: "Jian'er was defeated this time because he didn't know about the military affairs. Be courageous, follow Shi Jian to go out of the town of Chang'an as a member of the army, and set off immediately." Shi Hu turned his head and said to Shi Jian, "In a world of great conflict, if my Shi clan can't hold power and learn about military affairs, wouldn't it be wrong? To be able to stand on one's own feet, do you know what it means to be a father?"

Shi Jian just kowtowed and said: "My father's heart, my son knows it. I only hope that my father can sit in the center, select talents and appoint talents, and rule all parties. My Great Zhao will be able to wipe out all the captives and win the world."

"Win the world." Shi Hu only looked at Ran Min, with a rare smile on his face, "Good grandson, your father Shi Zhan died in a national calamity for attacking Liu Yao, and now your spirit in heaven can rest in peace. We must reward you well."

Seeing that Ran Min hastily left the table and cupped his hands, he said: "It's a good luck for my grandson, the great victory of this Southern Expedition depends on His Majesty's heavenly power, my grandson just borrowed the strength of the generals, how can I ask for a reward."

"Oh, I see that our army of Zhao State is doomed now. The former emperor was born as a slave and started his career with eighteen cavalry. How majestic, but now our State of Zhao has millions of troops. Although we have repeatedly conquered and conquered, we have gained a lot. I am quite saddened by the waste of military resources." Shi Hu looked at Shi Xuan and Ran Min at this time, and said happily: "Fortunately, our Zhao Kingdom has a high-powered army, and the begging army is a powerful force in the world. The whole world is terrified, come here, serve wine, I am the crown prince, Shi Minhe."

Everyone raised their wine glasses to congratulate Shi Xuan and Ran Min in unison.

I only heard Shi Xuan said: "Wait a minute, my son wants to invite one person to the table, and I hope the emperor's permission."

Shi Hu only smiled and said: "What do I think, that's right."

I saw Shi Xuan clapping his hands to signal people from outside to come in. Everyone saw a pretty girl approaching slowly, only walked up to Shi Xuan, turned around to salute everyone, and finally bowed cautiously to Shi Hu, saying: "Granddaughter, see you!" grandfather."

Shi Hu was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked Shi Xuan, "Who is this pretty woman?"

Shi Xuan smiled and said to Shi Hu: "Royal Father, you met him a few years ago, but in just a few short years, you almost don't know each other anymore."

Shi Hu tried his best to recall, but unfortunately he has many princes and grandchildren, no less than 30, and with the busy government affairs, many grandchildren have no time to see it.

"Yun'er, hurry up and salute Grandpa Huang." Shi Xuan only called out.

Shi Yun only moved forward, bowed slightly and said, "Granddaughter pays her respects to grandpa."

Shi Hu only came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Yun'er, I didn't expect it to be so big, and it came out very slim."

At this time, Shi Xuan only took a look at Ran Min, and said to his father, "My little daughter Shi Yun has always been virtuous, and I love her the most. Now that this year has reached the age of Ji, and it is the time of marriage, look around all the people in Zhao Kingdom. None of them are worthy, but today I can meet a good husband-in-law here."

Shi Xuan walked up to Ran Min and said to his father Shi Hu: "I am interested in Ran Min, and I hope His Majesty can fulfill my love for my daughter."

Hearing this, Ran Min knelt down in panic and hurriedly said: "Prince, Your Majesty, a villain with a humble official position, how can he be worthy of the princess's body of gold, and I hope your Majesty and the prince will regain their fame."

After finishing speaking, Shi Yun only raised her head and took a sneak peek at Ran Min, but seeing that Ran Min was brave and handsome, but with a vigorous and heroic demeanor, she couldn't help feeling a little throbbing in her heart.

Shi Hu heard that Ran Min still had excuses, and said, "Grandson, that's not bad at all."

Ran Min felt relieved, but he heard Shi Hu continue to say: "Son'er made such a great achievement in the Southern Expedition this time, he should be rewarded, come here, I will be the general of Beizhong, and take charge of the palace ban."

Shi Xuan was happy when he heard his father's arrangement, and said to Ran Min: "Ran Min, it's not insulting my beloved daughter."

He only heard that Ran Min went straight to the middle and faced Shi Hu. Shi Xuan bowed deeply and said, "Thank you Your Majesty, the crown prince loves you, but you can't disobey the orders of your parents. My father has betrothed his grandson to the Dong family when he is still alive. If he marries the princess again , I am afraid that I will feel uneasy, and hope that His Majesty's prince can take back and become famous."

Li Nong hurriedly stepped forward to argue with others: "Your Majesty, Ran Min has not rested from his exhausted journey on this southern expedition, my minister..."

However, Ran Min continued: "The minister knows how to be humble, he comes from a humble background, he has done nothing, and he is really not worthy of a princess."

Shi Xuan just listened quietly to what he said, how could Ran Min be so shameless, his hands were already tightly gripping the saber and he couldn't cut him in half by himself.At this time Shi Yun came over suddenly, took his father's hand quickly, and said: "Father, my daughter already knows General Ran Min's intentions, and a man makes great achievements, but it is his pride, how can he be restrained by his children's personal love."

Under the comfort of his daughter, Shi Xuan restrained his murderous intention temporarily.Seeing that his father had calmed down, Shi Yun hurriedly said to His Majesty's grandfather: "The granddaughter is eager to give General Ran Min the opportunity to make contributions. I only hope that my great Zhao can recruit talents from all sides, and the national strength will prosper. I have realized my long-cherished wish of Zhao to rule the world."

The princess spoke diligently and earnestly, and everyone was amazed by her. Shi Hu took advantage of the situation and said, "Xuan'er, what do you think?"

Shi Xuan only looked at Ran Min who was kneeling on the ground, leaned forward and said, "If you think you are not worthy of a princess, you can go to Liaodong to fight the Murong family for me."

Ran Min stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

At this time Zhu Bao suddenly said: "Su asked how good archery is in the army. Now it's late spring, the grass is growing and the warbler is flying. The Hualin Garden has not yet been built. There are many wild beasts here. How about General Ran Min? Do I compete with Gao Lijian?"

Ran Min only respectfully bowed his body and said: "I beg how the soldiers of the living army can compare with Gao Lijian, the general accepted it."

Zhu Bao laughed and said: "It seems that the begging army is nothing more than this, begging for life, begging for life, if it weren't for the kindness of my people, how would you be today. Now you dare to pretend to be elite, a small soldier under my tent can beat you all Army." After speaking, he laughed frequently with Gao Li, the soldier next to him.

The generals beside Ran Min said one after another: "General, you are too deceitful, and there is no point in competing with him." "Let them see my ability to beg for soldiers."

"Whoosh, whoosh" While speaking, someone threw a flag from Gao Li, shot two sharp arrows in a row, and then fell down.Everyone in the Qihuo army only picked up his flag and saw that it turned out to be General Ran Min's order flag, and saw two arrows piercing through the center of the word 'Min', all in the same round hole.

Zhu Bao hurriedly said to the begging army: "This subordinate is ignorant, so I have the right to do the drill." Turning around, he said to his subordinate Liang Du, "How can you make mistakes in this feasting place?"

Liang Du only pretended to be apologetic and said: "I don't know where I got this thing, but I just thought it was easy, so I came to practice. Thinking about it, how dare rats fight with fierce tigers."

The officers and soldiers of the Qihuo Army endured such insults and said one after another: "General, we cannot swallow this breath."

"General, let's try it with him, and destroy their spirit."

Ran Min wanted to fight, Li Nong hurriedly said: "Don't get angry with them, there may be accidents due to the strangeness of this place."

Ran Min couldn't help but said angrily: "Li Sikong, don't be intimidated after sitting in a high position."

At this time, a clear voice sounded: "A good soldier does not use martial arts; a good fighter does not get angry, and he does not get angry. Why do generals fight for a moment of courage?"

Everyone looked back and saw that it was Shi Yun, Shi Xuan hurriedly pulled her aside, but was not happy, "This is a battle between brave men, what are you talking about, girl."

At this time, Ran Min saw Shi Yun, but she was quite different from other princes and girls, fresh and bright, but it made people feel refreshed and happy, and he suddenly felt a little fond of him, and said: "Thank you, princess."

Shi Yun exhorted: "General, be careful, that person will use the method of provocation to mess with the general's mind, only tranquility can go far.""

The envoy above Danchi declared: "The emperor has ordered you to marry me."

Ran Min and Shi Yun bowed their heads together, kneeled three times and kowtowed three times. When they got up, Ran Min turned his head and glanced at Shi Yun, only a gust of wind blew by and took off the broken hair beside the bun, revealing only the white neck, but There is a thin and long scar looming.

"At this time, in the depths of Hualin Garden, there was only the sound of horseshoes, "Drive," Ran Min and his entourage were only shuttling through the bushes of Hualin Garden.

"Look, general, where did the hare go." A sergeant with sharp eyes saw the figure of the rabbit from the swaying bushes in front of him.

"Look, there is another roe." A sergeant said again.

Ran Min only stood in the middle and shouted: "Chew, if you are scattered around, go after them separately, and you must beat those Gao Li."

At this time, at the banquet, someone walked to one side and said to a sergeant: "Is the arrangement in the garden ready?"

The sergeant only leaned forward and whispered, "The master has made all the arrangements."

The man just patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, quickly change into the long arrows of the Beggar Army, and don't let others see it." The man was still worried, and said: "There is nothing wrong with it."

The sergeant only replied: "Master, don't worry, nothing will go wrong this time, just wait for him to go to the depths of the garden to shoot and kill, this time the hunting and begging army has also placed our people, his Zhulong horse is so dazzling, maybe It will be wrong. Just wait for him to go, and the brothers will shoot him together."

After hearing that, the man said viciously: "Okay, if that's the case, I don't worry, since Ran Min can't be used by our Jie clan, I have no choice but to kill him." After finishing speaking, he left here.Unexpectedly, Shi Yun happened to hear it from behind.

"Li Sikong, I heard that in the east of the river, there are hounds with snow-white bodies, long ears and narrow faces. They can search for thousands of miles, and they are especially good at hunting. Is there such a thing?" Princess Shi Yun asked when she saw Li Nong sneaking through the day.

Li Nong was free at this time and only found a secluded corner to drink tea quietly.

"So it's the princess," Li Nong hurriedly got up and saluted the princess, "The princess is very knowledgeable. If this happened, this dog is extremely ferocious, but it is hunting for prey. The army often keeps a few dogs as guides. I don't know the princess. Why are you asking?"

Shi Yun showed disbelief in his eyes, "If there is such a spiritual creature in the world, I would like to meet it. Can Li Sikong take me to meet it?"

"I'm afraid..." Li Sikong looked embarrassed.

Shi Yun teased: "Li Sikong, didn't you bring it?"

"I brought a few specially for this hunt, and they were all taken away by Ran Min. There was only one left that was particularly ferocious, and it was called 'Tiger Cub'. Except for Ran Min, no one recognized it. I thought it was fine. Just an animal, nothing to see."

"Doesn't recognize anyone?" Shi Yun's heart trembled, and he quickly restrained his expression and said to Li Nong, "I don't believe it, but it's just a dog. Li Sikong will show me."

"This..." Li Nong hesitated.

Shi Yun only said: "Li Sikong didn't know that the deep palace is full of cats, birds and the like, how can there be such spiritual things, I'll meet them outside the cage, it's okay." Shi Yun saw Li Nong still With the intention of evading, he said, "If Li Sikong fulfills my wish, I will speak kindly to my father. Don't miss this opportunity, Sikong."

"In that case, all right." Li Nong said to the sergeant at the side, "Zhang Wen, take the princess to have a look, but be careful."

"The subordinate understands."
