Chapter 1 Secret Meeting by the River

After more than ten days of marching, the returning army approached Xiangguo. The grass had seen a little bit of tender green on the grass. The soldiers took off their clothes supplied by Fanbang, and their mood became more and more cheerful.

Xiao Xiao looked back at the depths of the grassland and whispered, "I don't know how happy it is to jump on the grassland when the flowers are blooming everywhere."

He Ran smiled and said, "It's not difficult. When there's nothing to do here, let's just come again."

"When will the work here be finished?" Xiao Xiao glanced at him after asking and knew that he could not answer, so he walked forward sadly.

Mingqin Chaduo was even more reluctant to give up the grassland. After kneeling down and worshipping the god, she turned back to the unknown Central Plains step by step. The gradual scenery in front of her made her feel novelty and at the same time inexplicable panic. What made her really uneasy was He Ran's wives and concubines. If she could choose, she hoped to keep up. The days in Geqiong were the happiest time in her life,

Xiao Xiao saw her tremor, walked side by side with her, and whispered to her about the peerless beauties in the Tibetan Sage Valley. Although Mingqin Chaduo's Central Plains words are not very fluent now, ordinary communication is no longer a problem. Xiao Xiao's words made her feel at ease.

Before stepping into the land of Xiang, the Dazai of the State of Qi greeted him and secretly said that Qi and Xiang were still doing things to the State of Zhao, so it was inconvenient for the king of Qi to come close to Xiang to meet him. He asked the king and the military division to forgive him, and pleaded with him to go to the State of Qi.

Qi Guoguo He Ran couldn't go to watch the ceremony. This time, he should have gone, but his heart had already flown back to the Tibetan sages Valley. He was delayed for a moment and said that he had important affairs to rush back to deal with them. He refused the invitation of the King of Qi and handed over the army he had borrowed earlier to the State of Qi. Dazai thought that the soldiers had lost more than half of the soldiers, and he didn't want to get sick. The number of people who died was reduced by less than one percentage, and I was very happy.

After Xu's leadership was stationed at the border of Qi and Xiang, Xiao Xiao said to He Ran, "Since it's fake, let's do something like it. If we just come back, we can't say it's okay. You go back and I'll go."

He Ran sighed gently and pulled her aside and said, "Since I learned that you were going to leave the little tent, I guessed that you still don't want to go back to Zangxian Valley with me this time. Don't you want to go?"

Xiao Xiao looked at him affectionately and asked, "You won't force me again, will you?"

He Ran smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, I'll come to see you after a while. When you want to go back, I won't force you."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said mischieously, "If I don't want to go back all my life." This happy time on the grassland has changed the mentality of both of them.

"Then I will run around like this all my life until I can't run."

Xiao Xiao squeezed his lips and smiled, and put him aside to say goodbye to Mingqin Chaduo. Mingqin Chaduo heard that she would not go to the Tibetan Sage Valley, and her heart immediately panicked again. Xiao Xiao comforted her for a while before ordering his generals and soldiers to change their way to the Qi and Xiang border.

The most unhappy one is Xiaoling. She was first ordered to give a car of packages to Zhong Yu for safekeeping. They were all gifts that Xiao Xiao bought for everyone. Then she took out a few bags of shells and gave them to He Ran. She told her in frustration, "Don't bump. When you go back, you should give them to Sister Xiaozhu fairly." With that, he was angry and scolded, "Why are you so useless? Why are you so cowardly in front of her with such great skills with others? I thought I must be able to go to Zangxian Valley this time."

He Ran smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know who she is. I really can't do anything about her."

Xiaoling knew that he was not to blame for this and sighed, "It's my life. Think of more ways, even if you cheat her back to live for a few days."

"You don't have to say this. Just do a good job for me."

Xiao Ling smiled and looked at him and nodded hard,

He traveled close to the new capital of King Xiang's City. Chen Min went out of the city for 30 miles to welcome him. Originally, he was going to welcome a hundred miles, but he heard that King Feng could not change his way temporarily, so he had to change it to 30 miles.

After returning the borrowed soldiers, He Ran didn't even want to enter the city, but Chen Min fell in his ear and said, "Shunguo sent a secret envoy a few days ago, saying that their general, the White House, wanted to invite military divisions to meet secretly by the Rolling Dragon River."

He Ran frowned slightly and was so bored. What he was tired of was not the White House blog, but the timing he chose. How many days would it take, but this secret meeting was inevitable for him to go. It was imperative for the two countries to join hands. Even if the White House could not come to meet He Ran, he would figure out how to see him. He seemed to be a hero. With the same opinion, he had no choice but to suppress his eager to go home,

After entering the city, he immediately summoned the secret envoy and agreed the meeting place on the side of Xiangguo. Hearing him say the date of the meeting, the secret envoy couldn't help frowning. Forgetting the day, the general had to rush here after hearing the news. He wanted to postpone it for a few days, but He Ran resolutely refused,

After the secret envoy left, He Ran only stayed in Xindu for two days and went to the Rolling Dragon River in disguise. All the guards also changed their military uniforms, and the remaining 7,000 troops were stationed outside the city, claiming that the military division was in the new capital to mediate between Qi and Xiang.

This journey is very leisurely. He Ran accompanied Mingqin tea to watch the mountain and enjoy the water. When there is a big town, he goes in and hang out. Mingqin tea is fresh to see everything. For the time being, he forgets the worries of the future, like a charming smile,

On this day, he came to the small city by the river to settle down. The guard here would be his old department. He Ran sent Zhong Yu to contact him in private and ordered him to prepare the next big ship and set up red, yellow and white flags on the mast. In order to keep it secret, he did not even enter the city. He boarded a hill to accompany Mingqin tea to enjoy the scenery along the river, waiting for the boat to be ready. I just got off the mountain and boarded the ship.

Mingqin Chaduo was the first time to take a boat. When he first got on the boat, he was scared to death. After a while, he gradually got used to it and dared to look at the water. Before long, he became bolder and whispered to He Ran, "Why don't you drive the boat?"

He Ran has been looking at her. Hearing her question, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't be afraid."

Mingqin Chaduo squeezed her lips and smiled, "I'm still a little afraid, but it's better."

He Ran gently straightened her hair and said, "This boat is not sailing, but if you are not afraid, I will let them circle around for a while."

Mingqin Chaduo looked at him affectionately and said, "You are so kind to me."

He Ran held her hand with a smile and ordered the boat to swim nearby,

As soon as the boat moved, Mingqin Chaduo hugged He Ran's arm tightly, which made He Ran laugh again. After a while, Mingqin Chaduo got used to it, and the corners of his mouth were full of joy, enjoying this wonderful feeling of drifting on the water.

He Ran looked at the heart of the river from time to time. Soon after, a small boat came to the waves. He Ran saw that it was the White House that stood in the bow of the boat. He ordered him to dock and slowly got off the boat and stood on the shore to meet him.

After the boat docked, the White House jumped down and arched to He Ran with a rare smile: "After years, the demeanor of the military division is better than the past."

After He Ran smiled and returned the gift, he pointed to his old friend's reunion with his hand and sighed, "General, to tell you the truth, I really miss you since the separation of the State of Zhao."

The White House laughed and said, "You want my head." He was originally a non-smiling person, but when he met this, he couldn't help laughing,

He Ran smiled more happily and led him to the big ship arm in arm. The guards around him were relieved to see that the White House did not bring a bodyguard. Zhong Feng ordered them to retreat, and he and Yunye boarded the ship to escort.

After boarding the ship, the White House saw Mingqin tea at a glance, and hurriedly asked, "This is..."

He Ran introduced, "This is my little brother Jing's wife."

Of course, the White House Bo knew that He Ran's wife was Princess Zhuyin. At this time, when he heard him call this woman his wife, he couldn't help but be suspicious but inconvenient to ask more questions. He could only meet him in the courtesy of the main room.

Mingqin Chaduo has always regarded herself as He Ran's concubine. Now she can't help but panic after listening to his introduction to others. She is already familiar with the etiquette of the Central Plains. She can return the ceremony of the main room, but she dares not. At a loss, she has the idea to thank you with the gift of Fanbang.

He Ran saw her embarrassment, smiled and asked her to go to the cabin to rest, and then let the guards who stood in the ship go down. Yunye and Zhong Yu still had to stay, otherwise the White House would kill him in the blink of an eye,

After everyone retreated, He Ran raised the wine bottle and said, "Brother Bai has the courage to be brave. The courage of being single to go to the meeting alone has convinced my younger brother. Come on, I respect Brother Bai."

The White House smiled faintly and raised the wine bottle and said, "Brother He is overreputed. It is because of Brother He's extraordinary knowledge that I have this courage. When it comes to courage, I am willing to bow down. Your courage to send the State of Zhao is much greater than that of going to the meeting alone. I know this."

He Ran smiled and said, "In front of others, I dare to brag about it with this capital, but it's not worth it in front of Brother Bai."

After drinking with the White House, he said, "On the contrary, those who don't understand the mystery, no matter how they say it, they will feel that the mission is ordinary. Those who understand the mystery don't need to say much and feel ashamed."

"I'm embarrassed to praise you. Come on, I'll drink another bottle for you and my brother."

The White House Expo nodded and said, "It's really worry-free and labor-saving to work with you. There's no need to say more nonsense. It's refreshing and we can drink together." After drinking, he raised the third bottle of wine and said, "I'll use this bottle of wine to congratulate you on your triumphant return. The grassland that had already collapsed has been calmed by you. To be honest, I never thought of it. Many previous calculations have fallen into nothing. Alas, although I am unwilling, I have to be convinced."

"Come and praise me again. It's hard enough for you to kill that move halfway. It made us fail, and I was so angry that I almost vomited blood."

The White House laughed and frowned, "There is still something unknown in my heart. I don't know if Brother He can teach me.

"Brother Bai is polite. If you have anything to say, just say it. I know nothing."

The White House laughed and said, "Jing Yu hurried back soon after entering the grassland. What's going on? I've been confused about this matter. Did you scare him away or beat him away?"
