Why the emperor summoned him is actually self-evident.

It's just about the military, so it makes sense for Bai Muyan to be the prime minister, but Ji Ran really doesn't think it's appropriate for him to be a farm official.However, what surprised him even more was that Lu Zhen was there, and he even went to the imperial study room one step ahead of them. After calming down the emperor's anger, they were already drinking tea and playing chess with each other.

Ji Ran: "..."

Ji Ran and Bai Muyan looked at each other, and then walked in, before he could salute, he was interrupted by the emperor beckoning.

"Bai Aiqing, you came just in time, come and help me see, how should this game go?"

Bai Muyan responded and walked over, standing behind the emperor and pointing.Ji Ran was left on the sidelines, suddenly a little dazed, why did the emperor come to them, is it just to play chess?

"The dragon trapped in the shoal should be put to death to survive, and retreating to advance will only fuel the enemy's arrogance." Bai Muyan said, holding a sunspot instead of the emperor, and it landed in the center of the chessboard.

One step determines life and death, this round, the winner was decided in Ji Ran's bewilderment.

The emperor laughed and applauded repeatedly, and saw Lu Zhen standing up and clasping his fists, "Bai Xiangqi is a master, Lu admires it."

The emperor's brows had long since lost the solemnity and depression he had when he was in court, and he immediately beckoned to Ren Changfu to tidy up the chessboard.

"Don't stand still, sit down." Seeing that the chessboard was taken away, the emperor got up, went to the back of the dragon case, stretched his sleeves and sat down, and waited for a few people to thank him for taking their seats, then looked at Bai Muyan, "So, according to Bai Aiqing What do you mean, the Xiongnu invaded, march forward bravely without retreating, and fight?"

Ji Ran was at a loss, looking at this and that, feeling very puzzled.

What did they talk about just now?

After reacting for a moment, I realized that it was Bai Muyan's words just now when he was playing chess.Immediately couldn't help rolling his eyes, this ancient man is not straightforward in speaking and doing things, he can't be straight and straightforward in everything, and he has to play chess to show off profound insinuations, he is also drunk.

"Of course we have to fight." Ji Ran was still fussing, and then he heard Bai Muyan say, "Not only do we have to fight, but we also have to fight hard, beautifully! The right to seek peace is not on our side, and blindly giving in will only make us lose money." The enemy is gaining ground."

The emperor nodded, "This is exactly what I and Lu Zhen mean. Anyone who dares to offend me will be punished no matter how far away!"

Hearing this, Ji Ran and Bai Muyan were both surprised, and turned to look at Lu Zhen.

The emperor didn't care about the reaction of the two, and continued to say, "I have already drawn up the imperial decree. This time, the Marquis of Dingbei will be the commander-in-chief, and Lu Zhenmengliang will be the left and right deputy generals. He will lead [-] elite soldiers and go to the border to support today. We must recover the lost land. Killing the barbarians of the Huns!"

"Lu..." Bai Muyan came back to her senses first, but her face showed hesitation, "Lu Zhen has no official position and fame, so it is not good to entrust him with a heavy responsibility as a deputy general?"

"Fame and fortune are just a matter of my words." The emperor said indifferently, "Who dares to make mistakes?"

Bai Muyan stopped talking, but when she looked at Lu Zhen, her eyes were full of thoughtful exploration.

The emperor turned his eyes to Ji Ran, "Ji Aiqing."

Before Ji Ran digested everything the emperor said, he was called by name, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "The minister is here."

"For food and grass, the Department of Agriculture and Education will assist in logistics and handle all matters. Is there any problem?" the emperor asked.

"Minister, obey the order." Although Ji Ran was suspicious of Lu Zhen's upcoming expedition with the army, he hurriedly responded.

Back home from the palace, Ji Ran's brows never relaxed.

Lu Zhen had been watching Ji Ran all the way, seeing that he was still silent when he entered the house, and finally stretched out his hand to hold him back.

"Brother Ji..."

"Although your body is dead, your loyal soul is still there. I know that you can't let go of the national crisis right now." Ji Ran sighed, "I just... don't want you to confront the Huns." In the end, what Ji Ran is afraid of is just Although the wizard who had never been masked before might not be able to meet Lu Zhen in his current state, but this kind of hidden danger should be avoided as much as possible.

"I know what you're worried about." Lu Zhen held Ji Ran's hand tightly, "Don't worry, as long as you're here, I'll be fine."

Ji Ran was about to say something, but was interrupted by the sound of chaotic footsteps in front of him. Following the sound, he saw Lu Wanxue running from the corner chasing Ji Pingan, the little monkey. Lu Wanxue was also following Lu Ziyuan, Carrying a bamboo basket, I don't know what I'm doing.

"Xiao An! Xiao An, slow down, be careful not to fall, don't run away Xiao An, my sister won't chase you, I really won't chase you!" Shouting, Lu Wanxue really slowed down her pace.

But Ji Pingan didn't pay any attention at all, his head stuck into Ji Ran's leg like a cockroach, and he was knocked down and sat down on the ground, without crying, he looked up and saw that it was Ji Ran, and immediately smiled Canlan got excited, and sat there calling daddy one after another.

Being interrupted by the child, the previous conversation naturally couldn't continue, Ji Ran gathered himself together, knelt down and hugged Ji Pingan.

"Daddy!" Ji Pingan was very happy to be picked up, and turned to look at Lu Zhen again, "Daddy!"

Lu Zhen looked at the child with a smile, and reached out to touch the child's head.

Ji Ran took advantage of the situation and stuffed the child into Lu Zhen's arms, then looked down at Lu Wanxue and Lu Ziyuan.

"Xiaoxue, Ziyuan, what are you doing?" Ji Ran asked.

Before Lu Wanxue could speak, Lu Ziyuan came forward with a bamboo basket and said, "Uncle Ji, we dug up loaches and are planning to go fishing in the pond."

After harvesting the rice in the pond, Ji Ran asked people to trample the grain piles into the mud to make fertilizer, and then left it alone. Only fish fry were placed in it, and I have never seen these children tossing around. Why did they suddenly stare at that pond today? How many fry are there?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw the thin bamboo pole Lu Ziyuan dragged behind him, presumably it was a fishing pole, but Ji Ran looked over, but found no fishing line or hook.

"Why is there no hook on this fishing rod?" Ji Ran pointed to the fishing rod and asked.

Before Lu Ziyuan could speak, Ji Pingan, who was held in Lu Zhen's arms, said in a childish voice, "Have you never heard of it, Daddy? Jiang Taigong's fishing volunteers took the bait!"

Ji Ran: "..."

Ji Ran raised his hand and gave the little guy a headache, and when he looked at Lu Wanxue in a blink of an eye, he couldn't help being startled, time passed so quickly, she was still a little girl at the beginning, and suddenly she turned into a slim girl.

Lu Wanxue looks like her mother, with exquisite and beautiful features, but she is too introverted, perhaps because of low self-esteem, so that her whole temperament looks a little cowardly, and her beauty is worn away, making her complexion as plain as water.

"How old are you playing snow?" Ji Ran only knew that the child was born on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, but he couldn't remember exactly how old he was.

"After the twelfth lunar month, I will be fourteen, fifteen years old." Lu Wanxue said shyly.

"If you don't pay attention, our Xiaoxue has grown into a big girl." Ji Ran stretched out his hand and rubbed Lu Wanxue's head, "I'll ask a tailor to make you two sets of clothes later on, and you should have two sets of hair and face."

Although in Ji Ran's view, fourteen or fifteen years old is still a child, but here, it is already the age to talk about marriage. At this time, it is the age when boys love handsome and daughters love beauty, so it is time to dress up well. It's not okay to have a plain face.

However, as soon as Ji Ran said this, Lu Wanxue blushed nervously, "Uncle Ji, I have enough clothes to wear, no need, no need to make new ones, and no need for a headgear, I am like this, it's fine, really No need to spend money."

"You." Ji Ran pulled Lu Wanxue forward, "How many times has Uncle Ji told you that Uncle Ji's home is your home, Ziyuan's home, and your own home, you don't have to be so polite, you know?"

Lu Wanxue held her skirt with both hands, lowered her head and did not respond, but her eyes were red.

Ji Ran patted the child's head again, without saying anything more, took Ji Pingan from Lu Zhen's arms and put him on the ground.

"Go and play, but pay attention to safety." Ji Ran turned to warn Ji Pingan, who would get carried away after having fun, "And you, you can play, walk well, and don't run, you know? You will hurt if you fall , my sister is also very tired after chasing you, don't make any fuss, if you don't obey me, daddy will beat your ass!"

Ji Pingan didn't take Ji Ran's threat seriously at all, biting the longevity lock on his chest with joy.Ji Ran had no choice but to rub his head and let them play by themselves.

The child ran away, and the atmosphere became dull again, but there was no opportunity to continue the interrupted topic for a while.For a while, neither of them spoke, and walked in silently.

After a while, Ji Ran said, "The battlefield is changing rapidly, no matter what time it is, you must pay attention to safety, don't take your flesh and blood seriously because you are a scythe spirit, even if you can't be hacked to death, you must look back Rotten scythe."

"Sharpen a knife overnight, as long as the surface of the knife is sharpened frequently, the diamond will be indestructible forever." Seeing that Ji Ran finally stopped obsessing about his going to the battlefield, Lu Zhen started to tease him, but he just wanted to make him happy Just click.

In the past, when he wanted to play hooligans, Ji Ran would definitely blow his hair, but today he didn't understand at all, and nodded along, "Well, let's work harder."

Lu Zhen: "..."

"You don't know when you will come back after you left, so go tell grandpa before you leave, so that he won't worry about it all the time." Ji Ran said.

"Okay." Lu Zhen agreed.

Speaking of Mr. Ji, in the past two years, he ate well, drank well, and took good care of himself. His body is much healthier than when he was in his hometown, but his daily activities are still very small. Most of them are in his own yard. His legs and feet are not good. He can't bear to walk far away, and he doesn't like to trouble others, so he usually has nothing to do, and he is used to staying in his own yard.

When the two passed by, the old man was walking slowly in the yard with a cane, and stopped when he saw them.

"Are you back?" There was a stone table and stone bench under the locust tree next to him. The old man walked over and sat down, and then he looked up at the two people who had approached, "Oh, why is my grandson so drooping? This is it?"

"It's nothing, it's Grandpa, you are old and dim." Ji Ran pulled Lu Zhen and sat down next to the old man, "It's Brother Zhen, he just received the imperial decree, and he will go out with the army soon, so I came here to tell you."

Lu Zhen patted Ji Ran on the shoulder, "Aren't you still busy? Go, I'll sit with grandpa for a while."

Yes, Ji Ran is still busy. There is still work to be done to assist logistics in raising food and grass. I have been worrying about other things before and forgot about it. Now I am reminded of it by Lu Zhen. Although I am reluctant, I can’t do business. Delayed, I had no choice but to greet the old man reluctantly, and then hurriedly came and hurriedly left.
