I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 243 Chapter 277 Chapter 278

The Shendi alliance has a lot to do with it, even the king of Chu couldn't help but be worried.

After all, it is not only the first time for him, Xiongwei, to let the princes of the Central Plains come to the Chu State for the alliance meeting.

In fact, for the whole world, it was the first time ever.

But after some analysis by Li Ran and Guan Cong, King Chu finally had some confidence in his mind.

……

In this way, after a long wait, countries have finally expressed their opinions.

Sure enough, just as Li Ran and Guan Cong judged, except for the four countries of Lu, Wei, Cao, and Zhu, and the two princes of Qi and Jin, all other countries agreed to the request for an alliance.And they all set off immediately to apply for the land. (Uncle: the meaning of overlord)
Since Zheng Guo is the closest to Shendi, it is only natural that Zheng Guo and his party arrived first.

And Zichan came to Shendi with the monarch.

But to Li Ran's surprise, Ji Le and Sun Wu were accompanying him!

The two of them actually joined in the fun!

It turned out that Sun Wu had settled Ye Yi's management team now.Therefore, he himself was able to withdraw and join Li Ran.

As for Jiyue, it is only because I miss Li Ran too much.

It's no wonder, after all, since the two of them got married, they have been getting together less and more.

And this time Li Ran stayed in Chu State for so long, Ji Le couldn't bear to miss him, so he begged his father to agree first, so that she could come to Chu State to meet Li Ran with Dr. Zichan.

But Jixian also knew in his heart that Li Ran caused a lot of troubles when he went to Chu.And as the person who sacrificed his family, it is inevitable that his face will be shamed.

Although all the members of the Ji clan still had great trust in Li Ran, but as the saying goes, three people become tigers, which is not a good thing for the reputation of the Ji clan.Therefore, Ji Xian actually wanted to know what Li Ran's plan was in Chu State.
Therefore, from the very beginning he was reluctant, but later he reluctantly agreed.In addition, this trip was to go to Chu State with Zichan after all, so there was indeed nothing to worry about.So he let go, let go of the sacrificial music and came with the mission.

Half a year passed in a hurry, and when Jiyue appeared in front of him again, Li Ran was in a daze for a while.

In the past six months, he tried every means to mediate the relationship between the king of Chu and the other countries. Conspiracies and schemes can be described as troublesome, and various tricks emerged one after another.Not only him, but also the enemies he faced.

But when he saw Jiyue again, the remaining warmth in his heart was suddenly awakened, as if after several months of rain, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a ray of light, and the earth returned to full of vitality.

Because between him and Ji Le, apart from the pure and unwavering love between each other, there is nothing else.

"Husband..."

In the Fragrant Garden, the moment Ji Le saw Li Ran, his eye sockets turned red.

She, who was always lively and lively, now looked extremely dull, and walked towards Li Ran step by step, the teardrops on her face slid down to the ground, leaving a clear trace.

"fun!"

And why doesn't Li Ran miss the festival music?
However, suffering from the fact that he is now deeply mired in the chaos of the world, his longing has long been overwhelmed by endless conspiracies and schemes.

But at this time, when Ji Le appeared in front of him again, this longing was suddenly awakened from the bottom of his heart, surging and spreading.

The two hugged tightly in the fragrant garden, Ji Le's tears wet Li Ran's skirt, but Li Ran didn't realize it, and hugged Ji Le tightly in his arms, the wordless love between the two Heartbeats keep passing.

Zi Chan was at the side, Wei Wei pointed out the garden with her finger, signaling Sun Wu and Chu Dang to follow him to leave earlier.

And in the huge Xiangyuan, only the two of them were left for a while.

I don't know how long it has passed like this, when the tears of Jiyue no longer flow, when the sunshine of spring falls on the faces of the two of them, when the spring breeze blows slowly from the valley outside Xiangyuan, Li Ran just let go Festival music.

Ji Le's slightly haggard and thin face still retains the original pure beauty in Li Ran's memory, that kind of pure beauty similar to the crystal clear moon, no matter how many years pass, it seems that there will be no change.

"Le'er...I..."

"Humph!"

Just when Li Ran was about to apologize to Ji Le for not being able to return to Zheng Guo for half a year, Ji Le reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, and immediately turned around with a look of "I won't listen, I won't listen".

"No... It's not because of my husband that I didn't return to Zheng Guo on purpose... It's really troublesome, I can't get away..."

"Hmph! You eat well and sleep soundly here. You still live in such a big garden, and there are so many maidservants who dress you, wash you and serve you every day. Of course you won't be able to leave."

When a woman is angry, all "suspects" will become evidence.

The most deadly thing is that Li Ran is still unable to refute.

At least his clothes were indeed washed by the maid arranged by King Chu, which is indeed a fact.

"This……"

"No wonder you don't want to go home here. It seems that you have such a plan a long time ago, right? Hmph, if I knew this earlier, why would I still be here!"

Saying that, Ji Le was filled with resentment, and Dang even pretended to leave.

Li Ran hurriedly caught up with her and grabbed her, then hugged her tightly again, no matter how much Ji Le struggled, he would not let go.

"I'm really sorry ma'am..."

"My husband should have written more letters to you..."

Only then did Li Ran realize that he had only written one letter to Ji Le in the past six months.Moreover, that letter was still talking about the official affairs of Lu.

Speaking of it, he was indeed the one who was rude first.

"Ma'am, it doesn't matter if you beat me, scold me, or blame me, but..."

"After all, this is not the state of Zheng. If Madam plays her temper, I'm afraid I will suffer a lot."

Li Ran had to remind Ji Le, after all, even he couldn't "do whatever he wanted" here.

Of course, Ji Le is not a messy person. She dismissed Li Ran in this way just to ask Li Ran for an apology.

At this moment, his mind was settled, and after hearing Li Ran's sincere words, the dissatisfaction in his heart immediately dissipated, and his hands unconsciously hugged Li Ran's neck again.

Under the bright sunshine, the two looked at each other, and their loving eyes could read each other's intentions. The words seemed pale and weak at this moment, and only the overflowing longing in their hearts could prove their love for each other at this moment. trust.

"Husband..."

"lady……"

……

In the evening, when Ji Le first arrived in Chu State, Li Ran couldn't neglect her, so he immediately went to "invite" the King of Chu, and under the guise of King Chu's order, he ordered the chef in Xiangyuan to cook a table of authentic Chu dishes for Ji Le.

Jiyue originally had a temperament of traveling far and wide, and she liked to eat, drink and have fun wherever she went, and it was her first time to come to Chu State this time.Seeing the sumptuous dishes on the table, he was overjoyed immediately, and even had a drink with Li Ran.

In the end, Li Ran helped her back to the bedroom under the feeling of drunkenness.

The two sat on the edge of the bed, Ji Le put his head on Li Ran's shoulder, and held Li Ran's arm tightly with both hands, as if Li Ran would disappear again if he let go.

"Le'er, it's getting late, let's go to bed earlier."

Li Ran originally wanted her to lie down on the bed so that she could rest for a night.

But who would have thought that Ji Le shook his head slightly, and forced himself up, then took his arm and said:
"Husband! Sit down first, Le'er has something to say to you."

Hearing this, Li Ran sat down immediately, and treated him seriously.

Just listen to Ji Le and continue:
"Before leaving, my father specifically explained that I must tell you about the recent Zheng Yi."

"Brother Ji has been in contact with Feng Duan in recent days, and father also knows that you have been inquiring about them through Owlwing. But he was afraid that Owlwing's inquiring was not thorough, so he asked me to bring the news."

"According to the news from merchants in the family, Brother Ji seems to have taken actions in both Lu and Zhengyi, and many people have been involved in a wide range. Especially some astrologers in various countries seem to have had an affair with Shu Niu connection."

"Oh? Astrologer? What is Shu Niu going to find those people for?"

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help feeling alert again.After all, any information related to Shu Niu, he, Li Ran, would be very concerned.So, he asked.

"At present, the father is still unknown, but the incident is abnormal, and it must not be so simple in the future."

Chapter 278
In fact, Li Ran had also received a lot of news from Xiaoyi about the movement of the vertical cow.

It's just that Xiaoyi is just Li Ran's housekeeper after all, although Li Ran took the position of Jishi's housekeeper because of Li Ran's relationship outside.But after all, his status is not high, and the channels for intelligence are naturally limited.

And Jixian, as the patriarch of the Ji clan, the gap in his information acquisition channels is also obvious.Therefore, there are naturally more things that can be explored.

It's just that even though Jixian had already inquired about this, he still couldn't figure out what the Shuniu and his gang were trying to do.
"In fact, my husband has already heard about this matter."

"Zi Niu's heart is not dead, but if he still wants to do something wrong there, it is absolutely impossible without the help of Ji and Feng Duan behind his back. And the reason why the husband wants to assist the King of Chu to attack Zhongli this time is precisely to engage Clearly, who is hiding behind them?"

"If it's as expected by my husband, Qingfeng's breakthrough may bring us unexpected gains."

Li Ran was also vigilant, but because he was in Chu State at this time, there was nothing he could do to help Zheng Yi.It can only focus on how to capture Qing Feng who is far away from Zhongli.

"Well, it's best for my husband to be on guard. Before Le'er left, my father told Le'er repeatedly that you must be careful with your husband."

Ji Le heard that Li Ran had already prepared himself, so he was relieved.

"Okay, I'll take care of these things by myself. Le'er must be tired from the long journey to Chu, so let's rest. I have to see Dr. Zichan for my husband's sake. We still need to discuss it with him.”

After Li Ran made arrangements and coaxed Ji Le to go to bed, he got up and left, and came to Zichan's residence.

"Doctor Zichan, Li Ran is asking to see you."

Li Ran knocked three times outside the house, and then called to the house in a low voice.

And Zichan in the room was also shocked, he thought that Li Ran and Ji Le would reunite after a long absence, and they would definitely talk about themselves all night.

Unexpectedly, Li Ran found him in the middle of the night.

"Oh, Ziming, please come in."

Li Ran heard the sound and entered the room, he directly omitted all the twists and turns, bowed to Doctor Zichan and said bluntly:
"However, helping the King of Chu accidentally injured the lives of Zhu Fan, the King of Wu, but the guilt cannot be escaped, and I ask the doctor to punish him."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Zichan.

For Li Ran, this matter was unavoidable.

Moreover, it has now become a big stain on his body, and there is nowhere to wash it.

However, no matter in front of Yang Tong Jin or Zi Chan, he never chose to excuse himself.

"Oh, what is Ziming talking about. What I said in the letter earlier was just a moment of impatience. It is inevitable that it is exaggerated. Ziming should not pay attention to it..."

And Zichan actually knew in his heart that if Li Ran really wanted to help the Chu State, then why bother with the Chu-Jin marriage and the Shendi League?

Li Ran was in the state of Chu, so there must be many unspeakable secrets, how could everything go smoothly?

Therefore, he hastily apologized because the words he said in the letter to Li Ran were indeed too intense.

"Actually, the overseas Chinese and the Dangguo, as well as the emperor, have already discussed this matter. In the battle of Chaoyi, Zhu Fan would rather die than surrender, and achieve the fame of the whole life, but the king of Chu finally fell into the notoriety of murder. "

"This is actually not a good thing for us. If the king of Chu wants to go north to fight for supremacy in the future, it will be enough to make all the countries in the Central Plains feel the same hatred."

Once you calm down and analyze these things.As you can imagine, everything actually has two sides.

Therefore, as far as Zhu Fan's death is concerned, although it is a loss, it may not be without benefits.

"As for Ziming's relationship with the states surnamed Ji, there's no need to be in a hurry, and you can slowly make up for it in the future."

"Now the heavens want to fulfill the ambition of the King of Chu. In the future, there will be chaos in the Chu Kingdom. At that time, it may be able to achieve Ziming's great achievements, but we don't know!"

Li Ran never thought that Zichan had thought about this matter so thoroughly and far-reachingly.

Or maybe, just to excuse him?
In short, he nodded immediately.Then he changed the subject and talked about some of his discoveries in Chu.

"By the way, Doctor Zichan, even though I am in the state of Chu, I have discovered something else in recent days!"

"Oh? What's the matter? Ziming tell me quickly."

"If it is as expected, Qingfeng, who is far away from Zhongli, should be closely related to the Ji family of Lu State and the Hua family of Song State, and there must be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind them!"

"Oh? How can you see it?"

Zichan was taken aback when he heard the sound, his brows furrowed.

"Doctor, please think about it. Qingfeng was originally from Qi State. He fled to Zhongli, but he was reused by the King of Wu and sealed him in Zhongli State. If he was so ruined, if there was no someone behind him, if there was no huge influence. As a support, how can the Ji family of Lu State and the Hua family of Song State be willing to help him?"

"Furthermore, the king of Chu attacked Zhufang City with tens of thousands of people, and only relying on Zhongli, a tiny country, even if there is Zhufang, how can he hold on for so long? And behind it, he is willing to spend such a huge price to help him , and it's not in the name of a vassal state, which shows that the power behind him can be said to be all-powerful!"

"And they are willing to spend such a huge price to help Qing Feng. Doesn't it prove that Qing Feng is the key among them?"

"So, if we can win Qingfeng, maybe we can figure out many unsolved mysteries before."

Li Ran uttered all the thoughts in his mind, and after hearing this, Zichan suddenly realized.

"I see! No wonder Ziming is so anxious to help Chu State attack Zhongli."

"Oh, I'm wrong again, Ziming, I'm wrong, Ziming!"

When he understood what Li Ran had done in Chu State recently, he immediately came to his senses, and immediately bowed to Li Ran.

Li Ran hastily helped him up, and said in shame:
"Why did the doctor do this, but I dare not accept it."

As he spoke, he supported Zichan to sit down, and continued the discussion like this.

"Right, there's one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

Zichan couldn't help but looked at Li Ran in surprise and asked.

After all, the things that Li Ran can emphasize must be extremely important.For this point, Zichan was convinced.

"After Zhufang City is broken and Qing Feng is captured, the doctor must be vigilant in Zhengyi, especially those in Fengduan!"

"If it's not as expected, if something happens to Qing Feng, Feng Duan will probably take other actions."

In fact, Li Ran's guess is that if something happens to Qing Feng, the people behind him will definitely take action.

However, Li Ran was based on Feng Duan's secret collusion with the Ji family of the Lu State, and the Ji family of the Lu State had a close relationship with Qing Feng, so he reminded Zichan to pay attention to Feng Duan.

After all, if Feng Duan really belonged to one of Qing Feng's backers, how could Feng Duan be able to sit still after Qing Feng was captured alive?

"Well, Ziming is right!"

Zichan immediately understood that Qingfeng, as the key to the overall situation, can be said to affect the whole body!
