Chapter 72: Talk Before the Grave (Part 2)

Although He Ran was very good at persuading others, under such circumstances, it was difficult to persuade her to cheer up in a short time.

After another stick of incense was burned out, Huang Wei begged again: "My lord, please go back and rest. I feel much relieved. I really can't bear the trouble of having you with me anymore."

There are many taboos in the wake, especially joking, which greatly limits He Ran's performance. He knew that even if he stayed with him until dawn, it would be difficult to achieve great results, so he stood up and said: "Madam, please be more open-minded about everything. We will have time tomorrow."

Talk to the lady." After saying that, he bowed in front of the tomb, turned around and walked towards the camp.

Huang Juan didn't get up to say goodbye. The moment he left, she suddenly felt sad. She waited until he left and then she sobbed softly and wiped her tears.

Unable to let go, He Ran looked back and happened to see it. He sighed secretly and walked back.[

Huang Juan heard the footsteps and hurriedly wiped away her tears and stopped sobbing. She was afraid that he would see the traces of tears, so she lowered her head and pretended to be doing something and asked, "Why did you turn around, sir?"

He Ran sat back and said softly: "Madam, if you want to cry, just cry loudly. That way I can feel more at ease."

Hearing his caring words, the dam in Huang Juan's heart suddenly collapsed for some reason. She choked and sobbed and then burst into tears. She said in silence: "I thought she and I could be each other's companions. We had agreed upon it."

, if you can't tolerate the Ning family, just find somewhere to spend the rest of your life. Now that she's gone, it's so desolate for me to be alone in a foreign country, with no one to talk to..." She was originally a very strong person,

But at this moment, she is so fragile and separated from ordinary women. In fact, it is not easy for her to persist until this moment and reveal her weakness.

He Ran didn't offer any comfort at all, and allowed her to cry and talk about her misery. He just listened quietly and nodded cooperatively from time to time.

After crying for a while, Huang Juan wiped her tears and seemed to calm down in an instant. After a brief silence, she said to He Ran: "I made you laugh."

He Ran finally said: "If you put me in Madam's current situation, I would be miserable and suppress myself. I might show even more despair than Madam. The feeling of loneliness is the most uncomfortable. It's unlucky that I have grown up in the past few days.

The princess is still in the camp, so I just sent her away, otherwise she, a considerate person, can be a good companion for the madam." At this point, he suddenly remembered, "Oh, yes, you and the third lady

But we can still talk? Why don’t you keep her with you?"

Huang Jing smiled lightly and said: "I don't need anyone to accompany me now. I feel much better after crying. You really don't have to worry about me anymore. Thank you very much, sir."

He Ran felt the return of perseverance in her heart, so she said no more, responded with a knowing smile, stood up and left freely.

The next day when the army set out, He Ran specially summoned Huang Kuan to ride with him. Seeing that her expression was as good as before, he secretly admired her.

Huang Wei asked in a low voice: "Is the army going around Honggu to attack Baiyankou?"

He Ran blinked at her and said: "That's what I originally thought, but it is said that Jingqu is almost an empty city, so I want to give it a try."

Huang Wei shook her head with a smile and said: "I have been urging my mother-in-law to lead the army to station in Honggu. I thought you would go to join another group of troops first. I didn't expect that we were all wrong. Your intelligence is really accurate, Jingqu

It’s really an empty city, all the forbidden troops have been sent out.”

"Fortunately, she didn't use Madam's strategy." He Ran felt a little scared and said, "In that case, although the interception failed, it became a surprise force that could kill us from behind at any time and catch us off guard. I didn't expect it at all.

An extra member of the Ning family's army appeared out of thin air when we arrived. You went to Yushuitan to save us from the difficulty."

Huang Wei said with deep feeling: "God is already on your side."

"My luck has always been good."

While he was talking, a fast horse galloped up from behind. The man got off his horse and saluted.

When He Ran saw that it was Su Man, the deputy commander of the palace, he couldn't help being shocked. What he was most afraid of when leading troops was that something would happen to his family. Now that we were more than two thousand miles away from Yi State, it would be too late to save him if anything happened there.

"Why are you here?" Because they were quite familiar with each other, He Ran got off his horse and asked directly.

Su Man pulled him to take two steps to the side and whispered: "I came here on the king's order. The king wants to drive and conquer in person. Let me come over and say hello first." [

"Your Majesty will go on a personal expedition?" He Ran frowned, "By the time we arrive from China, the battle here will have been over long ago. Why would your Majesty want to go on a personal expedition?"

Su Man said with a look of helplessness: "Your Majesty said, I dare not forget my family feud. All the hard work ahead has been shouldered by the military advisor. No matter what, I have to go to the battlefield in person at the last moment. No matter how much you try to persuade me, it won't work."

He Ran burst out laughing when he heard this, it turned out to be a false alarm.

Su Man wondered: "Why are you laughing, sir?"

He Ran echoed: "When you go back and report to the king, tell him that the war is over and that I will return to the court soon, so that he will not come."

Su Manyi grinned and said with a grimace: "This is bullying the emperor. I don't have the guts to do this."

"According to the report, we are doing this for the sake of the king. I'm really the one to blame. It's all on me."

What Su Man wanted was his words, and he said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of these words from adults anymore." After saying that, he complained with a grimace, "It's such a hard job, the road is too far.

, I had to inquire about the traces of the army, I almost fell apart, and I had to rush back soon."

He Ran hit him on the shoulder with a riding crop and scolded him with a smile: "You have nothing to complain about. You just ran away. We guys came here with our heads high."

Su Man chuckled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I have followed my followers many times on the road to lament the hard work of your Excellency and all the soldiers. Not to mention destroying the city and demolishing the village, just running this stretch of the road, one of my followers was on the road.

He was tired and sick, so we left him in a nearby village to be raised. It's hard to say whether he can recover."

He Ran thought for a while and said: "It's difficult for you to travel thousands of miles back and forth. Let's do this. I've brought a lot of flying pigeons. I'll send a message back. You can slow down a little on the way back."

Su Man was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. He Ran whispered: "Don't reveal the secret of Fei Ge. In order to prevent your subordinates from becoming suspicious, tell them that I sent another person back to report to the king, so you don't have to rush."

Hurry back."

Su Man nodded quickly and said: "Xiaoguan knows that Xiaguan knows."

After sending Su Man away, the army continued to move forward. After a while, Xu Tong, who was marching in front, heard the news and rushed over, asking what the king's purpose was.

He Ran smiled and said: "It's a matter of face. Isn't this a matter of face? The Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed. He wants to take revenge on his family by conquering it personally. I sent a message back saying that Jingqu has been captured. I will give him a step to get down."

Xu Tong smiled and said: "Thankfully you are here. If this matter falls on me, it will be really troublesome. I don't have the courage like you."

He Ran came closer to him and said, "It's precisely because he knows I won't let him come that he dares to act like this. Do you think he really wants to come? He may not even be able to ride a horse after living a pampered life in the past few years."

Xu Tong laughed loudly, then pointed forward with his riding crop and said: "I'll go ahead and choose a place to camp. If Jingqu is really an empty city, then we can have a celebratory drink in the city tomorrow."

"Don't be careless. We need to guard against Zhao Jun's troops fighting against Kang Jun in the north and coming back for reinforcements."

Xu Tong said: "Don't worry, I am being cautious in my heart, but I think they will be able to come back in time. Our marching speed is much faster than them. In addition, they have more time to go back and forth to convey orders. At least we have a chance."
