Chapter 721 Kang Yihang, whose height and voice do not match
"The wind is a bit strong. I have been in the wounded camp for a long time today. You know my situation, Lieutenant General Li. It is not good for the children to be too tired..."
Ran Qingxuan said while gently stroking her belly. Li Zhongwu was not stupid either. He quickly slapped his head and took a step back.
"Look at my memory. Madam Gu has worked hard today. I am not good at speaking and don't know how to thank you for what you have done today..."
They were all honest people. Ran Qingxuan bowed slightly and followed him down the city wall.
"No need to thank me, we are all doing this for Northern Qi!"
Yes, it’s all for Northern Qi, not for Qi Jing.
Li Zhongwu turned his face to hide his slightly red eyes.
"By the way, Lieutenant General Li, the woman following me was sent by Qi Jing. Starting tomorrow, please ask Lieutenant General Li's people to keep a close eye on her to prevent her from spreading any more news."
Li Zhongwu was stunned for a moment, remembering what Ran Qingxuan had done today.
"Since he is Qi Jing's spy, wouldn't it be too late to keep an eye on him tomorrow?"
Ran Qingxuan slowly walked down the city wall, smiled and shook his head when he heard this.
"Qi Jing sent me in for a purpose. I have to let him see what he wants to see, so that the rest of my Gu family will be safe for the time being."
Li Zhongwu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were filled with shock and admiration when he thought of something.
"Mrs. Gu, are you a fairy from heaven?"
Ran Qingxuan was amused by his straightforwardness and said with a smile: "This world is so big, there are all kinds of rare treasures, and there are things that people have never come into contact with.
It's just that I was lucky enough to have access to it, but I don't have such big ambitions. As long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe, these skills of mine can only be used for entertainment. ”
“Just like now, even if Qi Jing didn’t kidnap me and send me here, my husband and I would rush here immediately after hearing the news.
The country belongs to the emperor, and the family belongs to oneself, but without the country, the family will no longer exist. This is not what Gu Yanchen and I want to see, so..."
Ran Qingxuan walked forward and talked to himself, but before he finished speaking he noticed Li Zhongwu standing there in amazement.
"Vice General Li?"
Li Zhongwu woke up as if from a dream, and a bit of piety appeared on his bronze face: "Madam Gu, please forgive me for being frank, but I think you are fully qualified to be the emperor..."
Ran Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before he said, "Lieutenant General Li, please be careful with your words. I still want to live to be a hundred years old..."
Li Zhongwu scratched his head awkwardly, his thick fingers knocking the helmet crooked: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam Gu, but I really think you are more ambitious than other women in this world.
If you were a man, you would probably be more suitable than...”
Ran Qingxuan's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he suddenly lowered his voice: "Lieutenant General Li, let's just treat this as a casual chat. Anyway, the emperor is far away and can't hear it..."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "If there is a man who has the same ideas as me and whose status is suitable, can he become the emperor?"
When Li Zhongwu heard this, the simplicity on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by the alertness unique to a soldier.
He was silent for a long time, his rough fingers unconsciously stroking the hilt of the knife.
"If there is such a man, with a suitable identity..." He finally spoke, his voice as low as thunder.
"Then I, Li Zhongwu, would definitely prefer someone like this to be the emperor."
After saying this, he looked directly at Ran Qingxuan with sharp eyes: "I wonder what Madam Gu means by saying this?"
Ran Qingxuan waved his hand and put on a gentle smile again: "Just treat it as idle talk, Lieutenant General Li, don't take it seriously."
As the night deepened, the two parted in front of the tent.
Ran Qingxuan returned to her tent and found Lvzhi was sorting the medicine box. The girl sent by Qi Jing to serve her seemed respectful, but her eyes always revealed scrutiny inadvertently.
"Madam is back." Luzhi bowed.
"The hot water is ready. Do you want me to help you wash up?"
"No need, you go down and rest first." Ran Qingxuan said lightly.
"But ma'am, you don't have anyone to serve you, how can you..."
"Can't you survive without someone to serve you?"
Luzhi was choked and lowered his head silently.
Only after Luzhi left the tent did Ran Qingxuan breathe a sigh of relief.
She reached out and gently stroked her abdomen, muttering to herself: "My dear, your father will be here in a few days, so you have to behave yourself these few days, okay..."
The next morning, the aroma of rice porridge wafted through the military camp again.
Ran Qingxuan secretly went to the location on the map last night and placed a lot of rice, so that thousands of soldiers could have hot meals again.
She stood beside the big pot with smoke rising from it, looking at the soldiers' grateful eyes, but she was thinking about other things.
"Mrs. Gu, you are really a living Bodhisattva!" A soldier with his arm in a plaster cast said in a choked voice while holding a bowl of porridge.
Ran Qingxuan waved his hand and was about to respond when suddenly there was a commotion from the direction of the city wall.
Several soldiers escorted a tall and slightly thin man towards this side, and he was immediately surrounded by vigilant soldiers.
"What's going on?" Li Zhongwu strode over, his voice as loud as a bell.
"Report to the deputy commander!" A soldier saluted and said, "This man is sneaking around the outer gate of the pass. His behavior is suspicious. I'm afraid he is a spy!"
The man being held was nearly 1.80 meters tall, wearing tattered coarse cloth clothes, and his face was covered in dust.
Surprisingly, when he opened his mouth, a childish voice came out of his throat: "I'm not a spy! I'm just a refugee!"
The contrast between the voice and the body size made the surrounding soldiers laugh. Zhao Xian at the side snorted coldly and took a step forward.
"Nonsense, the area outside Hulu Pass has been fenced off, how could they let a refugee in?"
All the soldiers present knew the current situation of Hulu Pass. It was simply a fantasy for those who wanted to escape to get in.
"No, I found it myself..."
Ran Qingxuan took a few steps forward, bent down slightly and looked carefully at the dirty face.
The man subconsciously lowered his head to avoid it, and this action made Ran Qingxuan more certain of what she saw.
"Kang Yihang?" she called tentatively.
The man's body froze, but he still pretended to be calm: "This lady has recognized the wrong person..."
Ran Qingxuan's heartbeat quickened, and his voice was filled with excitement: "I am Ran Qingxuan, a good friend of Qu Feng."
Kang Yihang suddenly looked up, shock and joy flashed in his eyes, but when he saw the soldiers beside him, he quickly lowered his head.
Ran Qingxuan immediately turned to Li Zhongwu: "Deputy General Li, can you give me some time to talk to him alone?"
Li Zhongwu understood and waved his hand to disperse the soldiers who were watching: "Go away! Go do what you need to do!"
After the crowd dispersed, he nodded to Ran Qingxuan: "Madam Gu, I'll be guarding outside the tent."
There were only two people left in the nearby tent. Kang Yihang looked at Ran Qingxuan's unfamiliar face and suddenly burst into tears.
"Teacher Ran, are you really Teacher Ran? Why are you here? Are you also?"
The series of questions made Ran Qingxuan a little overwhelmed, so he quickly put down his hand and signaled him to wait.
Finally, Ran Qingxuan also explained how he came...
