Chapter 53 Poor and satisfactory
Seeing that Xiao Xiao's robe had no blood, He Ran felt very comforted and asked with a smile, "Isn't this white lotus simple?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I have indeed been instructed by a master."
"How was the result?" He Ran stretched out his neck and looked at the soldiers behind him.
"It can only be regarded as a small victory. Based on the situation, she was not sure that we would go to the camp secretly. She just camped in two places out of caution. I think she was afraid of being beaten by you. There were only a few thousand people in the bluffing camp."
"That's really a bargain for her. You have a careful plan to kill chickens with a knife."
Xiao Xiao shook his head and said, "I can't tell the truth in the dark. When I realized that it was not right, Adar had already led people to chase him out. Although I immediately ordered someone to blow the horn, it was still too late and lost some people."
He Ran comforted: "No wonder you. There are thousands of enemy troops in the night. No one can distinguish the reality. A small victory is also a victory. If you win, you should be happy or regret it."
Xiao Xiao nodded with a smile at the corners of his mouth, and his expression was quite obedient. Obviously, it was He Ran's behavior before she went to the battle that made her very happy, and her attitude towards him was much better in return. This made He Ran very flattered.
After the response, after a brief discussion, He Ran decided to move to the smoky lake to camp in the mountains. Considering that the white lotus will be more cautious about the frustrated action, it is difficult to fool her at this time, so there is no need to worry about it.
Xiao Xiao suggested simply raising the banner of the military division and clearly telling the enemy Yi Guojun to come to help the king in person, so that Bai Lianhua could retreat in the face of the difficulties. He Ran thought it was a good idea. Thinking that he had a hatred for killing her husband, he raised the flag of the phoenix king.
After camping at the foot of the mountain, He Ran and Xiao Xiao climbed a hill of less than 50 feet, which was already the highest terrain nearby.
"What a hassle!" He Ran looked at the enemy and sighed.
"She is determined to pester us." Xiao Xiao said calmly.
"It's troublesome." He Ran sighed again, "If she wants to stay here like this, I really have nothing I can do. I don't know how the situation on the king side dares to lead her there casually."
Xiao Xiao couldn't think of a good plan when he looked at the prairie for a while. If it was a battle in the Central Plains, he could first choose to set up an ambush, and then let a group of people bluff to make the illusion of moving towards the main battlefield in the northwest, lure the enemy to pursue and kill him unprepared. But there is no "key way" in this grassland, and the ambush can only rely on Luck, this obviously doesn't work.
"Do you think this will work?" Xiao Xiao turned his head and pointed to the northwest. "I will continue to cheat over there to help the king. You lead the other half of the horse to hide to the west. As long as you walk 50 or 60 miles, their whistle should not be noticed. After she chases me, you will follow her back, and we will give her a front and back attack."
He Ran slowly shook his head and said, "I've thought about this, and I don't feel safe. There is a lack of cover for dozens of miles in the prairie. Not to mention whether your bluff can deceive her, it's not easy for me to do. It's easy to leave traces on the grassland that thousands of people have walked through. In addition, there are heavy vehicle rutchles. She is better than me. We are more familiar with the grassland. If we are not careful, we will be defeated by each of them. We can't despise this woman.
Xiao Xiao also thought of this, "Why don't you ask Adal if he can do it? Let's see if he has a good way."
"I've almost learned that from him, and it's useless to ask." He Ran wanted to be alone with her for a while. "I'll ask him later."
"If this plan doesn't work, then we have to confront it here." Xiao Xiao squeezed his cherry lips.
"It's much easier for you to do when you come. Let's watch the white lotus. Adal can go back to help the king. Classify the soldiers you bring. Give Adal those of different races from Xinyan, and let him leave some elite soldiers. I'm camping at the foot of the mountain. You can guard the mountain and spend time with her."
"The war is coming. Won't you go to Fanwang's side? It's enough for me here."
"That's the case over there. I've thought about everything for them. It's not as complicated as the battle in the Central Plains. I don't want to go. If the king really loses, let's... hehe." He didn't go on.
Xiao Xiao secretly glanced at him and guessed that he probably didn't want to go because of his own reasons. Originally, he wanted to blame him, but when he thought that if the situation over there was unfavorable to him, he was worried about his life, wouldn't he push him into the fire again? With the lesson of the expedition to Xiping, she would no longer send him into danger. So he swallowed the words that came to his mouth and agreed, "Okay, let's make it this, but I'll guard the mountain and you'll guard the mountain."
"Yunye guards the mountain, let's guard the mountain." He Ran said with a bad smile.
Xiao Xiao looked at him disdainfully, "Are you doing this to your brother?"
He Ran said righteously, "What's the matter? I told him not to hold on when he was in danger. He has the ability to take the head of the general among all the armies. Naturally, it's not a problem to save his life."
"Although my martial arts skills are not as good as him, it is not difficult to save my life in the chaotic army. I will guard the mountain."
He Ran smiled and said, "Your martial arts may not be lost to him. I know, I know, brother and... Er... Hey hey... In comparison, I still tend to let my brother suffer a little. After all, he is a man. It's nothing for a man to suffer a little."
Xiao Xiao listened to his ambiguous words, and he couldn't help blushing slightly. He spat in a low voice and said, "Xu Tong scolded you for lust over your friends, but he really didn't wrong you at all!" Just your character... Humph, thanks to Yunye's sincere heart that respects you so much.
"What you said, I did it to him..."
"All right, have you helped him talk about that? How many times have you said it?" Xiao Xiao curled his lips and disdained.
"I... split the golden sword and the shooting bow are all treasures. I gave them to him without blinking my eyes."
"That's because you don't care about these things at all. If you don't give them to him, you have to give them to others. Besides, didn't you ask him to give the bow to Bayan again?" Xiao Xiao didn't save him any face at all.
"Why did you know it so soon?" He Ran didn't care about her contemptuous eyes and asked with a hippie smile.
"Humph!" Xiao Xiao had nothing to do with his attitude. He didn't bother to talk to him anymore and turned his head to look at the original scenery.
He Ran didn't feel boring. He said with words, "This brother just wants to do his best and help each other. I have some power, and I have to help him in local fraud. He is good at martial arts. I don't want him to be involved in danger, but he has to make contributions. When there is danger, let him take responsibility. Come on, I can't fight with him on the battlefield for the sake of brotherhood. Isn't it causing him trouble?
Xiao Xiao sneered and said, "Anyway, it's your reason inside and outside. You don't have a time to be unreasonable. You can't be able to fight around the world."
He Ran was not ashamed but proudly said, "I rely on this to make a living. Look, are you doing well?"
Xiao Xiao was speechless and rode down the hill.
