I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 250 Still coming?endless solicitation
When Li Ran talked about this, his attitude was already very obvious. No matter what the king of Chu or the officials of Chu Guoqing present thought, as far as Li Ran was concerned, he thought he was being benevolent and righteous.

Once upon a time, he admired the king of Chu, admired the courage and mind of the king of Chu, admired his lofty ambition and good knowledge of people.

But now, Li Ran's heart is also half cold, and there is only one thought in his mind - to leave Chu State.

After saying that, he didn't have any more words, and got up to leave.

The king of Chu actually didn't have any intention of keeping him, so he just let him go.

The main reason is that the king of Chu knew very well that Li Ran was a man of righteousness, so he still had time to make up for the three things he had promised.

However, after Li Ran's departure, the original atmosphere of celebration in the Zhanghua Palace was swept away. All the officials left, and the huge palace became deserted again.

Li Ran walked out of the hall and was about to return to Xiangyuan, but unexpectedly Prince Qiji chased him from behind.

He seemed to have something to say to Li Ran.

"Mr. Ziming! If you don't mind, sir, can you go to the house and talk about it?"

Faced with Wang Ziqiji's invitation, Li Ran couldn't help being surprised.

What is going to happen again?
Prince Qiji, he was a person who made Li Ran extremely disgusted.Logically speaking, Li Ran should have directly and sternly refused.

However, after experiencing the incident of "Xu Zi being detained", he can fully guess that this must be the ghost of Prince Qiji again.

So what is his next step?

The strong curiosity drove him again, he wanted to see what kind of plans the prince Qiji in front of him was still thinking about?
Therefore, Li Ran immediately nodded silently, which was regarded as his consent.

After a short time, they drove to the mansion where Prince Qiji was.

But it can be seen here that there are tall buildings, water pavilions, pavilions, rockery pools, scattered all over the place.This is not like the official residence of a courtier, its extravagance is far beyond the main hall of his brother Chu Wang Xiongwei.

"Please sir."

The scented tea that King Chu learned from Li Ran also appeared in Prince Qiji's home at this moment.The scented tea brought by the servant has a stronger fragrance and brighter color, and it flows down the throat, refreshing and relieving the heat, which is suitable for this scorching summer.

The king of Chu's favor for the prince Qiji can also be seen from this.

"I heard that this thing is called tea, but it was created by Mr. when he lived in Zhengyi."

"However, Qiji's scented tea has a lot of background. To the south of here, there is a spiritual place called Yunmengze. There is a strange flower named 'Scallion Rue', which is extremely rare. Qiji loves it very much. This flower makes people visit it all over the place, and it takes only a few buckets a year, and then this scented tea is made according to the method of Mr.

"How is it? Qiji's tea is comparable to my brother Wang's?"

Prince Qiji smiled lightly, but it looked very fake, giving people the feeling of a superficial smile.

Li Ran raised his glass and took a sip of tea. Sure enough, the tea was full of fragrance, sweet and elegant, and it was indeed of the highest grade.

However, at this moment, no matter how good the tea is, Li Ran has no intention of savoring it.

"The fourth prince asked Ran to come here, isn't it just for drinking tea?"

Li Ran replied blankly.

Just listen to Prince Qiji say:
"Hehe, I invited you here today because Qiji has something unclear, so I ask you to give me some advice."

"Oh? The fourth prince is too polite. I wonder if the fourth prince has any questions?"

Li Ran bowed his hands, but remained indifferent.

"The Battle of Chaoyi, the Battle of Zhongli, and the Shendi Huimeng, these are all the ingenious schemes offered by Mr. Chu for our Chu Kingdom. The far-reaching wisdom and wisdom of our Chu Kingdom are obvious to all."

"But I don't know why the master still has his heart on the Central Plains? Could it be that Zhou people can win this world, but I, Jingchu, can't?"

"Thinking that the people of Zhou were far away in the northwest back then, but relying on the battle of Muye alone, they determined the world. This is all due to destiny. Now that the people of Zhou are weak, don't we, Jingchu, have a chance?"

When a wise man speaks, he will only be disgusted if he is coy and sloppy.

Prince Qiji is obviously also a very smart person, why doesn't he know that there is no need to hide it when talking to Li Ran?
Therefore, these two sentences of his are very straightforward, and they are so straightforward that the opponent has no choice but to answer.

Since King Ping moved to the east, the Zhou royal family has been declining day by day, and no longer has the name of the former suzerain.Thus, Wu and Chu became kings in the south, and Qi and Jin became hegemony one after another.

The Zhou royal family seems to have become a dispensable place, struggling to support it only by virtue of its nominal status as the co-lord of the world.

However, even so, Wang Ziqiji's sentence "People of Zhou can win the world, but people of Jingchu cannot" can actually be regarded as extremely rude words.

The emperor, the emperor, the minister, and the minister, under the rule of Zhou Li, the minister can only be the minister forever, and the king will always be the king.

The Chu people are probably the only ones who dare to put it on the table so blatantly for the sake of plotting and killing the big with the small.

"Hehe, the fourth prince is sure you want to speak to the minister about such a rebellious statement? If the fourth prince wants to kill himself, don't bring the minister along. But the minister still wants to live for two more years."

Li Ran didn't even think about it, and just gave him a blank stare.

But who would have thought that Prince Qiji sneered and said:

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's still a question of whether Mister can leave Yingdu alive, let alone how many years to live? Please tell Mister everything."

Hearing this, Li Ran cheered up immediately.

Because he knew that the King of Chu would not kill him, but this did not mean that Prince Qiji and others would not.

"The fourth prince...what exactly do you want to know?"

"Hehe, there is no one else. It's just that Qiji feels that the people of Zhou have ruled the world for hundreds of years. Wouldn't it be too boring if only their family could monopolize this country?"

"Mr. is an inexhaustible talent. If you can help Qi Ji, the future may be better than Taigong, right?"

Prince Qiji's way of soliciting is really more direct than that of King Chu.

He even omitted the link of dowry.

And listening to his tone, it seems that there is another meaning in it that he wants to force Li Ran to submit.

"Hehe, Taigong Wang voluntarily assisted King Wu to achieve a great cause through the ages. This move by the fourth prince runs counter to my way of King Wu."

Li Ran smiled and didn't want to say more.

Prince Qiji heard the voice and said:
"That's why Qiji asked Mr. what he meant at this time."

After the words fell, Wang Ziqiji's expression was extremely chilling.

Some people may find it strange.

Why did Prince Qiji come to poach the king of Chu at this time, when the situation in Chu State is in good shape?Even threatening Li Ran in a way that is almost impossible to get Li Ran's approval, forcing Li Ran to become his man?

In fact, this is not difficult to understand.

Because Prince Qiji felt threatened all the time during several confrontations with Li Ran.

Because he knew that there were only two people who could speak in the court of Chu State and influence Chu King's thoughts, one was Wu Ju, and the other was Li Ran.

It's just that for recruiting Wu Ju, firstly, since Wu Ju has been with the King of Chu for many years, it is almost impossible for Wu Ju to betray the King of Chu.Secondly, he and Wu Ju had already had some scrutiny, but these things also made Wang Ziqiji completely give up the idea of ​​recruiting him.

As for what is going on, I will tell you later.

As for Li Ran, an outsider who was not deeply involved with Chu State, that may not be the case.

Therefore, he launched an action against Li Ran, which was a kind of wooing and a threat at the same time.

This can be regarded as the consistent style of their Chu people: destroy if you can't get it.

The same is true of Chu Wang Xiongwei, and the same is true of Prince Qiji.

So at this moment, the chilling look on Wang Ziqiji's face was not just for show.

In fact, he had already made up his mind, as long as Li Ran dared to say "no", then the outskirts of Yingdu would become Li Ran's burial place!

And Li Ran is well aware of this.

How could he not know what kind of guy this future King Ping of Chu is?
So, he suddenly laughed out.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

"Why are you laughing, sir?"

"Hehe, Ran is laughing that the fourth prince and King Chu are really brothers! Even the methods of recruiting Ran are so similar."

At the meeting in Guodi, Li Ran faced the current king of Chu, who was then Prince Yin of Chu State, and the situation was the same as it is now.

"Oh? Is the sir's answer the same?"

Prince Qiji still looked at Li Ran with a stern face.

Hearing the sound, Li Ran nodded without hesitation, and then said:
"Yes"

"The way of the state of Chu is the way of non-ran."

"Naturally, the way is not the way of Chu."
