The situation is not as optimistic as Xiaoling thought, because things are not as simple as He Ran said.

It was three days later that Xiao Xiao allowed him to enter the house, but he called Xiaoling to prevent her from going out. Two days later, Xiaoling finally found a chance to hide out. Later, it was difficult for her to go in and report a letter, because she Unexpectedly, she found that the door was bolted. After discovering the secret, she blushed and stood guard in front of the door with a beating heart, fearing that the secret would be known to others.

Time flies, and the three-month cold winter is coming to an end. As the weather gets warmer, the snow that has accumulated in the winter began to slowly melt under the breeze, and He Ran's brows also slowly frowned. His tranquility ended here, and there should be an answer to what King Fan and Shilang were like.

Fan Wang was the first to send back the news. It turned out that the snow this year was not heavy thousands of miles away. Most of Xin Yan Tuliang's forces had been subdued, and the rest was handed over to Adal. He led an army of [-] and had already returned. About ten days later than the messenger should arrive.

This is good news. Geqiong City is bustling with excitement, kicking off the prelude to the celebration, and the atmosphere is getting more and more lively day by day.

Almost at the front and back, Shi Lang's news also arrived, Zhao Guo really went to fight Shun country, and he withdrew his troops in time by mediating the dispute between Xiang and Qi after the war between Zhao and Shun was fully launched according to He Ran's plan , Zhao Guo suffered another dumb loss. In the battle against Shun, Zhao Guo not only did not get any advantage, but also suffered a lot when Yedu's army suddenly broke out. Now the two sides are still stalemate and occasionally have small battles.

After sending the messenger down, He Ran excitedly hugged Xiao Xiao around several times, then kissed her cherry lips forcefully, and said, "God help us!"

Xiao Xiao was also in a great mood, reached out and grabbed his belt, lifted him up and swung it around a few times, imitating his tone and said: "Nave really helped us!"

He Ran was dizzy and dissatisfied, and said: "It's nothing to bully me because of my skill."

Xiao Xiao pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Are you allowed to harm people with evil intentions?"

"What did I do to you? Tell me." He Ran asked with a smirk.

"Bah!" Xiao Xiao spat, her pretty face flushed slightly.

He Ran didn't bother anymore, and said happily: "It's good now, we can go back in ten days or so."

Seeing that Xiao Xiao didn't answer the question, he said softly, "Come back to the Valley of Hidden Virtue with me, don't make things difficult for me."

Xiao Xiao pursed her cherry lips and said, "Let's talk about it then."

"Stop talking, just agree." He Ran begged.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "I'll talk again after I say it, don't stalk me, you go, I want to be quiet for a while."

He Ran didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, he shook his head helplessly and walked out step by step.

The return of Master Wang pushed the atmosphere of celebration in Geqiong City to the extreme.

He Ran and Xiao Xiao went out of the city to greet them with Fanbang officials. Not too far away, Princess Jinglan came on horseback, pointed to the maid who was holding Yun'er, and said to He Ran: "Well, she should follow the military adviser. I'm afraid of Zhu'er in such a chaotic situation. It's going to happen again."

He Ran was grateful and said, "Thank you, princess."

Princess Jinglan glanced at him silently, forced a smile and walked back to her two brothers.

Returning from victory, King Fan was naturally in high spirits. When he saw He, he patted him on the shoulder excitedly, smiled at Xiao Xiao, and said loudly: "It is possible to put down the Xinyan Tuliang Rebellion so smoothly. Most of the credit should be attributed to Wang Jia and the military division, and the grace of Yi Guo will be remembered forever in my grassland!"

The crowd responded with a bang, Yunye and the others had already seen Zhu'er in the crowd, and they were relieved to see that Xue'er was not around her, and booed and shouted.

When they came to the main hall, King Fan gave a brief account of the trip, and then Hong Konger reported the names of some tribal leaders who were waiting to be summoned. The small tribes that were wavering before were eager to show their obedience at this time. Came as soon as it was passable.

He Ran and Xiao Xiao got up to leave, Fan Wang waved his hand and said: "Let's put everything aside, I will only drink with my brother today, this drink has been scheduled for several months."

All the officials laughed and looked at He Ran, all envious in their hearts, and secretly sighed that only this magical military master could deserve this honor.

While arranging the banquet, King Fan invited Xiao Xiao and He Ran to the side hall, waved away the attendants, and said with a smile: "I have something to discuss with you." Seeing He Ran's slight smile, he raised his hand He lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Seeing you like this, don't you guess what I'm going to say?"

He Ran glanced at Xiao Xiao, and said, "If it is related to Ye, then we would have expected it."

King Fan pushed him affectionately, and said: "You are really powerful with a belly full of flowers and intestines. You guessed well. It just so happens that your army is here, so let's kill Yedu by the way, and then I will help you kill Shun." country!"

He Ran put away his smile and said: "I have discussed this matter with Wang Jia repeatedly, but I don't know how to tell you. We want to ask brother to help Yi Guo, but we are afraid of offending him."

Fan Wang was displeased and said: "You have helped me so much, why do you still say such things, if there is anything that needs my brother's help, just say it."

He Ran smiled and said: "What we want brother to do is not to attack Yedu for the time being."

King Fan frowned and said, "What's the point?"

He Ran explained: "Zhao State has recently lifted its internal troubles. Yi State and Shun State are about to be in trouble. They are attacking Shun State now. If we start from behind, then Shun State will not last for a month. Shun State Now that the state of Zhao is destroyed, the state of Zhao can deal with the state of Yi calmly. The chaos in the grassland will be settled, and even if my brother wants to help us, it will be difficult to mobilize a large number of people. The forces are extremely important to Shun Country, if my brother can delay the pace of unifying the grassland, it will be a great help to Yi Country."

"Oh, so that's the case." Fan Wang pondered for a while, and said with a hearty smile: "It seems that my thoughts these days are in vain, but I have been racking my brains to figure out how to destroy Shun Kingdom. , I’m with you, I don’t even need to think about it, anyway, it’s useless to think about it anyway, it’s better to calm down and drink a few more bowls of wine, just do what you say, I also want to help with public and private affairs Yes, well, you have dispelled all my calculations with one word, and you can save yourself a few days of worry, so let's go drink."

He Ran followed him to stand up and said: "Shun country is not going to fight, but brother is going to help me fight Zhao country, I think this battle is imminent, please settle the tribes as soon as possible, we will have to rely on brother Yes, my brother just happened to be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish and occupy a place in the Central Plains."

Fan Wang said happily: "This is a cheap thing, good! As soon as your military order arrives, I will immediately raise troops. Brother Yu is here to wait for your dispatch at any time."

He Ran laughed and said: "Brother Zhesha, let's do this."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help covering his mouth and smiling coquettishly.

King Fan pointed at him and said, "You, you, it's a pleasure to be brothers with a person like you, hahaha, who dares to speak falsely to order the king of the grassland, and you are the only one who can make me willing to be driven away." This magical military division is my good brother!"

However, He Ran rolled his eyes in disappreciation and said: "Don't say things that are cheap and cute, I'm also helping you enter the Central Plains, but you have to say the ugly things first, once you enter the Central Plains, you have to restrain your subordinates, and you can't do it like before. Kill without fear, otherwise it will damage the reputation of our country of Yi, and you will be unpopular, and you will be kicked out sooner or later."

King Fan said solemnly: "I have long admired the enlightenment of the Central Plains. This time I will go to command the soldiers and make long-term plans. At that time, you can send more talented officials to help me manage the government. I will not treat you badly."

He Ran waved his hand and said: "Let's not say that you have been treated badly or not, as long as you let me in Yi Guoneng explain the past, I will arrange the relevant officials for you, but the number of people will not be too many, and we are also short of talents. It's a later story, but now I want to leave a capable general for my brother, that is, Dongfang Ao. Zhao Guo's military commander Jing Min is not only resourceful, but also skilled fighters in the army. My brother is not familiar with the tactics of the Central Plains, but Let Dongfang Ao help."

King Fan already had a little idea of ​​Dongfang Ao's ability, and he said happily, "It's so good, you are willing to leave such a capable subordinate to me, which shows that there is still some brotherhood. I will have a few more bowls with you later."

"Without this excuse, you won't let me drink less. See how I get you down today. I'm not welcome to anyone who dares to break the drinking law. You'd better warn the gang who want to drink."

King Fan said contemptuously: "There are no drunkards on the grassland, they are all honest men, and no one cheated and cheated when I poured you down last time."

"Then let's go!" He Ran knew that he might not be able to escape, so he simply put on a heroic and dry expression and walked with his head held high.

Soon after the banquet started, Xiao Xiao withdrew from the banquet. She could drink freely with her own soldiers, but she was not interested in it in front of outsiders. She went out of the palace to find Sang Qiong, and she was about to leave, so she had to say goodbye to this younger sister.

Hearing that her sister was going back to China, Sang Qiong couldn't stop crying. Xiao Xiao was greatly moved by the kind of affection from the heart, and his eye circles were also red. The two sisters talked for a long time, and Xiao Xiao left After arriving at Sangqiong, he walked aimlessly for a while and boarded the tower, looking at the mottled prairie due to the melting snow for a long time.

Xiaoling at the side saw her smiling from time to time, and didn't know what she was thinking, but she was curious but didn't dare to disturb her.

Just after dinner, when he heard that He Ran had been carried back, Xiao Xiao hurried over to visit him, only to see that He Ran's face was flushed from drinking, and he was sleeping like a child. Always want to laugh, it is a feeling from the bottom of my heart.Seeing that there was not a drop of vegetable soup on his gown, Xiao Xiao was relieved, thinking that he would not be too drunk.

Before going out, she suddenly remembered something, called Zhong Xie aside and ordered a few words in a low voice before leaving. Not long after, Zhong Xie delivered a large package there.

Unpacking the package alone in the house, Xiao Xiao stared at the rough tent with a slight blush on his pretty face, and it took a long time before he tied up the package again and handed it to Xiao Ling for her to put it away carefully.
