An Xiaochen accompanied Li Ran for another time, said a few other things, and then said goodbye.

He was about to set off in the middle of the night, and he didn't care about anything other than talking to Li Ran.

Li Ran turned over a tent and went to Zhou E's tent.

Zhou E was not in the tent, she was standing at the door of the tent, taking a deep breath towards the sunset.

"Practice?" Li Ran came back from the side and asked with a smile.

"Sucking the yang energy. I saw you just now, thinking that you will have to come back in a while." Zhou E took a deep breath and said.

"This is the sunset." Li Ran laughed.

"It's all sunny, what's the difference between sunset and sunset? Isn't it still the sunrise that rises tomorrow morning?" Zhou E took another breath at the sunset.

"That's right, how are your injuries?" Li Ran looked at Zhou E from top to bottom.

"It's much better, skin injury is nothing. Isn't it okay?" Zhou E raised her chin in the direction Li Ran came over.

Li Ran knew that she was asking An Xiaochen and smiled and said, "It's nothing. He said he would set off in the middle of the night and go deep into Shu from Jinghu."

"Is it him or their brother?"

"They brothers."

"Yes." Zhou E frowned for a moment and exhaled, "It was a bit dangerous. With their Ning family's golden signboard, this trip, they can be much easier than others.

Alas, the popularity of this general is all made up of the lives of their own children.”

"Well, An Dalang just mentioned Zijia and the others, saying that they were captured and entered Licheng. Shinan and the others found a merchant who had been in business in Licheng for many years. When they went to Licheng, they met Zijia..."

Li Ran said what Shinan had heard.

"...I said I was afraid of disturbing the coach's mind, so I didn't tell the coach about this. Zijia and the others didn't know what happened."

Li Ran’s ending is very low, and Zijia and the others are afraid of the danger.

"There are many dangers."

Zhou E answered simply.

"Also, the Grand Marshal must know that he intends to make this statement and he must let the Grand Marshal know whatever he says.

But, let alone the general, I know that all the things that are together or not are all traitors. It’s your temper, hey.”

Zhou E said hell.

"Take a step back, even if that is the case, the handsome man won't do anything to you.

It was a long time ago. The Grand Marshal was only eighteen or nineteen years old at that time. I followed the Grand Marshal to conquer Jucheng. Not long after I left, Jucheng was taken back again and we will take it back.

When he was taken back, a thousand-man leader broke through the city and fled to his life. His wife and children remained in the city, and his wife was ruined. The thousand-man leader said that his wife had lost his face and forced his wife to commit suicide.

I was so angry that I beat the commander and got to the Grand Marshal.

The Grand Marshal said that the thousand men could not protect their wives and children, and they would suffer the consequences of their wives and children. He should commit suicide to thank them for their wives and children.

The leader of the thousand-man is a coward, so I helped him.

Later, the coach sent someone to send the wife and children to the capital. Within two years, the wife remarried to a pastry and steamed bun shop, and I even went to have a wedding banquet.

Now I live in the old Fengqiu Gate and live a good life. The mutton buns she made by her man are delicious. I will take you to have a meal when I go back."

"Okay." Li Ran smiled and answered.

"Zijia and the others, don't think too much. We can't do it at that time, and we can't do it now, even more so, alas."

Zhou E looked at Li Ran’s gloomy face and said softly.

Li Ran was silent for a moment, nodded, and stood side by side with Zhou E. After a while, he quit Zhou E and returned to the coach's tent.

Li Ran lifted the curtain in, and Xie Ze also lifted the curtain in from the side of the curtain.

"Xiqing said you have been sleeping for a day and have you rested?" Xie Ze walked closer to Li Ran and looked at her complexion carefully.

"I'm taking a break." Li Ran looked up at Xie Ze, and he looked a little tired.

"Are you hungry? Have a meal first?" Xie Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Ran's complexion was obviously much better than yesterday.

Seeing Li Ran nodding and responding, Xie Ze raised his voice and ordered. Almost immediately, Xiqing brought two servants to the table and brought the meal in.

Xie Ze bowed and took the small porcelain bowl in front of Li Ran, and while serving her soup, he said warmly:

"You have been running around for a while and just got off the battlefield two days ago. It should not be greasy."

Li Ran nodded and took the bowl of flat-tip old duck soup from Xie Ze with only duck meat but no duck skin.

Xie Ze also served a bowl.

After the two of them had dinner and had half a cup of tea, Xie Ze looked at Li Ran and asked with a smile: "Did you just go out for Xiao Chen, or do you want to look around and meet Xiao Chen?"

"I want to look around, he is about to wait for me."

"It's not dark yet, I'll accompany you out for a walk?" Xie Ze suggested.

"Okay." Li Ran stood up and followed Xie Ze out of the tent.

In the distance, there was only a touch of bright red left on the horizon. Torches had been lit everywhere in the camp. Single or strings of storm were hung high, shaking back and forth by the wind. The camp was shining with the warm red lights, and there was no sternness during the day. With the smell of food coming, there was a leisurely smell of home.

Li Ran and Xie Ze walked forward side by side.

"Xiao Chen's camp is there, and the journey is set off at the end of the Chou and Yin." Xie Ze signaled to the south of the Lianlian camp.

"The soldiers and cavalry coming from Shuai Huo?" Li Ran asked with concern.

"The vanguard of Chang'an Hou led the vanguard of Huo, who followed him, was led by Chang'an Hou and Huo Wenjie, on the left wing."

Xie Ze pointed to the left.

"Li Qing'an followed Xiaochen to the south."

Xie Ze paused and looked at Li Ran.

"Li Qing'an asked you, do you want to meet him? The three sons and three... and the four girls, besides you, Li Qing'an is the best and very sensible."

Li Ran's eyebrows raised.

Xie Ze looked at her raised eyebrows, smiled, raised his hand and pressed it on her shoulder, pushing her forward, and said softly:

"I have been suffering every day after you fall behind enemy lines. I don't know how many thoughts I will leave everything behind and find you and save you."

Xie Ze's throat was slightly choked, and he was silent for a moment before continuing:

"If you hadn't told me before that the army should be the first priority, I would not know if I would leave everything behind.

Now that you are back, I think about it for a while, but I am still afraid, if you can't come back..."

After a while, Xie Ze sighed softly.

"I have thought about going back a lot of hard times these days. Back then, wasn't Xie Shangshu like me, and he could only choose one. If it weren't for your words and warnings, I wouldn't know what I would make. My choice is with you, and Mrs. Xie's choice is with Mrs. Shao, why should I blame him?"

"You did not abandon the army."

Li Ran stopped and looked at Xie Ze.

"Yes, because you have warned me, because there was a mistake in the past, I held myself and barely held it.

When the incident happened suddenly at that time, the emperor once said that he was timid and easy to follow the crowd. He was so by nature. I don’t think I should be too demanding on him.”

Li Ran looked away and lowered her head forward.

Xie Ze followed Li Ran.

"And Madam Shao, I hate her very much. These days, I think of her from you. If I fail to hold myself down and abandon the army to find you and save you, the world will probably blame me for my fault and blame you. They will scold you for being in trouble, fox charm, and so on.

But this is wrong, it is mine, what does it have to do with you?

Mrs. Shao didn't know that Mrs. Xie left me and my younger brother.

Maybe, I blamed her wrongly."

"Just as I told you before."

Li Ran reached out and held Xie Ze's finger.

"Being a husband and the commander of the army, the army is ahead, not me.

Back then, you and your younger brother, one was eight years old and the other was five years old. Xie Shangshu was a father and a husband. At that time, father should have been before being a husband. After all, Mrs. Shao was not a young child who could not take care of himself."

Xie Ze held Li Ran's hand, remained silent for a moment, and nodded.

"He does have great things, and Mrs. Shao is not completely wrong. But no one is perfect. In terms of nature, Shangshu Xie is not as good as me, and Mrs. Shao is not as good as you, so it is not advisable to blame him."

After a pause, Xie Ze looked at Li Ran.

"When I returned to the capital, I want to go to Xie Shangshu's Mansion and take a look. Are you going with me?"

Li Ran was silent for a moment and nodded.

This is his heart knot. He wants to die. She is with him. He wants to reconcile, and she will also be with him.

"Do you want to go and see Li Qing'an?" Xie Ze signaled to the camp in the south, "I'll accompany you?"

"Wait until he comes back."
