Chapter 58 Qiaozoku Qulan Next

At dinner, Xiaolai finally met He Ran again. She hurriedly reported several government affairs assigned by Zhu Yin, and then said that Fan Yu was converted to the Holy Nvity.

He Ran's mouth was perfunctory, and he seemed a little absent-minded. He could see what he was thinking,

Soon after Su Xiyao finished her meal, Xiaozhu followed her back to the main room. When there were only two of them in the dining hall, Xiaolai pushed him after adding meals for him and said with concern, "What are you thinking about? You are really busy. Madam, you sent me specially because you are worried. You have to keep your own focus."

He Ran put down his worries for a while and smiled and said, "I don't think about anything. You don't have to worry about me. Eat quickly. Don't just take care of me."

Xiaolai sat down next to him, picked up a dish for him, and stared at him with a smile and said, "You are really different from usual in the barracks."

"What's the difference?" He Ran asked with a smile,

"Well..., the eyes seem to have changed."

He Ran raised his eyebrows and deliberately made his eyes harsh. "Really."

Xiaolai sneered and said, "I'm not afraid of this, but I'm really afraid of the look you inadvertently showed. I didn't dare to gasp loudly when I saw it just now."

"Nonsense." He Ran smiled and also picked up chopsticks for her,

Xiaolai said seriously, "Really, you may not feel it yourself, but I really feel the deterrent and murderous atmosphere. In the past, you didn't look like this even if you were angry at home."

He Ran apologized a little and said, "What I think about in the army is killing. Maybe I'm out of my mind when I think about it. Don't be afraid. I won't blame you in any way. If I'm not used to it here, go back. You don't have to accompany me to suffer in the army."

Xiaolai leaned against him affectionately and said, "I'm not going back. Now that I'm here, even if I don't have a wife's instructions, I should serve you with all my heart. Even if I can't help anything else, I can take care of my clothes and diet, and I can share some burdens for Xiaozhu. I repay my kindness, and I won't use your usual love for us when I need it."

He Ran tapped her on the nose with chopsticks in his hand and praised, "I knew you were a careful person. Sure enough, I saw you correctly."

Xiaolai smiled and said, "In fact, who among us doesn't feel the benefits of you? Some words are boring. If you really need it, no one will retreat. Before coming, even Xiao went to the seemingly heartless one and told me for a long time, so that I must take good care of you."

He Ran was quite moved and told him, "I'm used to the hard life in the army, but you have to pay more attention to yourself. Don't just think about taking care of me. If I'm really sick, I can't explain it to anyone."

The rice in the bowl was only half eaten, and He Ran stopped eating, and his eyebrows gradually frowned,

Xiaolai asked softly, "Is there anything to worry about? Eat more."

He Ran shook his head and said, "The war ahead is about to be known. I'm waiting for the news. There is a fire of impatience in my heart that I can't eat it."

"Will we lose the battle?" A little concerned question,

He Ran was a little nervous at this time. He told her that he could just disperse his anxiety, so he briefly talked about the previous situation, and then said, "The Yancheng has no worries of failure. I'm afraid that there is not enough water or fail to guard the drain. It is not an easy job to build a dam to store water. Generally speaking, this kind of rough work is The people did it, but now it is difficult to recruit enough manpower, so even the elite soldiers have been sent up. The soldiers are tired because of this. If this plan does not work, they will not be able to build stones to attack the city in a short time.

"Then wait a few more days." Xiaolai understood and said it easily,

He Ran took the tea she handed over, rinsed his mouth, and said, "It's not that simple. We are now two armies thousands of miles away from home. It can be said that we are in danger. If there is no accident, it will happen. If something unexpected happens, it will be very dangerous. The sooner we meet, the better. Only when we break through the Qulan Pass can we have the possibility of mutual rescue and mutual assistance. At that time, there is room for manoeuvre."

Xiaolai said "Oh" as if he didn't understand, and suggested, "If you don't come to the news before, you can send a few more people to ask."

He Ran smiled and said, "How can there be no news? There are at least two reports a day, but it's hard to know the result one day if the water is not released. It should be tonight or tomorrow night."

"No wonder you are absent-minded. Well, I know. Do you want to meditate by yourself or do you want me to accompany you? Madam told me not to disturb your mind."

He Ran smiled and didn't speak yet. A maid came in to report: "Report to the military, the report is coming soon."

He hurriedly got up and walked out. Before going out, he didn't forget to tell Xiao Lai, "You go back to the house and rest first. You are tired on the long way. Don't do anything."

When he came to the front hall, he saw that it was Sun Zhi, the master of the general. Seeing that he was sweating all the way, He Ran was secretly shocked. This Sun Zhi was resourceful, but Xu Tong's right-hand man, Yancheng was about to leave. It must be a big deal to send him to report the news.

Sun Zhishi saluted, and without waiting for He Ran's question, he came forward to report: "To the military division, the general and the general of the East had agreed to flood the city tonight, and the fast horses to deliver letters to the adults had been arranged, but suddenly there was a big change, and the subordinates were specially sent to report to the military division."

He Ran nodded calmly, pointed to the seats of the first few cases and said, "What has changed? Sit down and talk slowly."

Sun Zhi stepped into the banquet, picked up a few tea glasses and drank them all, and then said without delay, "At noon, a hunter who called himself Bai Jun came to the military camp, saying that there was something important to see the commander-in-chief of the army. The general summoned him. This man looked like an ordinary people, and his behavior was quite dignified and he was in the military tent. Take it easy."

He Ran, who listened calmly, gently turned the lid bowl with the tea cup, and asked without raising his eyelids, "Why did he come?"

Sun Zhi said, "He said that he found us building a dam to store water during hunting, and saw through our plan to flood Qulan City."

He Ran put down the tea cup and said, "It's not difficult to guess since I saw the dam."

Sun Zhi said, "Next, it was unusual. He said that after seeing the desire to store water, he knew that the water was about to be released, so he quickly came to the barracks and admitted that his brother was a general in Qulan Pass. He asked us not to release water for the time being and give him half a day to persuade his brother to surrender

He Ran frowned, looked at Sun Zhi and said, "It should be suspected that it is a delaying of the army."

"The official also thought the same way at that time. After listening to it, the general directly ordered someone to escort him up. If you don't ask, you can know that you also have this worry in your heart."

"What's next?"

Sun Zhi frowned and said, "This Bai Jun said in tears and asked the general to pity him for his filial piety, and then told the truth. He said that the general of Qulan Pass heard that the Yi army was coming, and he was afraid that the generals in Qulanguan would not give up their lives to rescue when Qulan City was besieged, so he came up with a bad idea and sent the relatives of the Guans. He lived in the city, and at the same time moved the relatives of the generals in the city to the gate. Bai Jun's brother was a general in the gate and a local person, so not only his wife and children were sent to the city, but also his parents were placed there. Bai Jun was very anxious when he saw that we were going to flood the city. He didn't care about to discuss with his brother, so he ran directly to our side. Here we go."

"It's true." He Ran asked,

Sun Zhi understood that the military division referred to the placement of family in different places, and replied, "It is urgent and difficult to verify. The general has sent his subordinates to the nearby villages to inquire."

He Ran shook his body slightly and looked at the hall with empty eyes,

ps: I don't code words during the holiday. I have to go back to my hometown to pay tribute. Everyone should also read less books during the holiday and spend more time with my family.
