I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 253 Chapter 293 Chapter 294

Li Ran had already predicted it from the very beginning, Wang Ziqiji did not dare to kill him at all from the very beginning.

Therefore, Li Ran signaled Sun Wu to retreat.

Seeing this, Prince Qiji glanced around, his expression turned cold and gloomy for a moment.

Only at this moment did he realize that he was being plotted by Li Ran all along.

"Hehe, sir, it really is a good method!"

After the words fell, Prince Qiji withdrew the bronze sword in his hand.

Prince Qiji certainly knew that since Sun Wu and Chu Dang could follow Li Ran to this place, what about King Chu's eyes and eyes?

Obviously, since both Sun Wu and Chu Dang knew they were coming, wouldn't his elder brother just wait?

perhaps.At this moment in this garden, there are already countless eyes and ears of King Chu hiding, watching this scene helplessly.

And everything that happened here, the King of Chu obviously already knew about it.

"Hehe, the reason why Mister is forcing Qiji to take action from the beginning to the end is because of this scene?"

Only now did Wang Ziqiji really react. Faced with his coercion and temptation, Li Ran was always indifferent, and he didn't even struggle.

Instead, he kept forcing him to submit. Is this normal?Obviously not normal.

So, now it seems that there is only one possibility: this is simply a game within the game set by Li Ran!

As long as he is provoked, the appearance of Sun Wu and Chu Dang is a matter of course.

Not only that, but sooner or later this matter will be exposed to his brother Wang, so how should he explain it at that time?
Obviously, in terms of "counting an exhaustive strategy", the prince is indeed far from abandoning his illness.

The final established facts are:

Because his prince Qiji failed to recruit Li Ran, he felt murderous, intending to put Li Ran to death.

And this will make his character design suddenly become very strange.

After all, your prince Qiji was originally a minister of Chu, and Li Ran was also advising Chu State.Why do you need your prince to buy him off?What exactly is your prince Qiji trying to do by buying off the courtiers around the King of Chu?

Moreover, wanting to put Li Ran to death is obviously not in line with the core interests of Chu State at this stage.

So, to sum up, what qualifications does a person who only pursues self-interest and personal ambitions but disregards national interests have the right to rule the world?Doesn't the character setting of his prince abandoning illness mean that he collapsed immediately?
Therefore, from the moment Li Ran was invited by Prince Qiji, everything that happened afterwards was actually within his calculations, and there was no slight deviation.

That's why he dared to "force" the prince to give up his hands again and again.

"Today's matter must have reached the ears of the king. The fourth prince should think about how to deal with the king's accountability at this moment."

"However, since I was invited by the fourth prince today, since this cup of tea is indeed rare, I, Li Ziming, can teach the fourth prince how to kill Li Ran..."

Li Ran's face was full of indifference.

He got up and looked at the guards who were being dragged down in the garden, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Hehe, if the fourth prince insists on choosing to kill here, although it will save trouble, it is obviously not a wise move... No matter how much the king trusts the fourth prince, killing meritorious people without authorization is not a good idea for the fourth prince. , is it hard to explain after all?"

"After all, the king of Chu still needs his minister, and his life is more beneficial than harm to the state of Chu. So if the fourth prince really kills him, it will only cause the state of Chu to cut off its own arm."

"And... this matter will only leave a bad name in vain for the fourth prince."

"Li Ran is very clear that the fourth prince is a person who cherishes his reputation very much. Are you willing to bear the notoriety of 'intolerable'?"

At this point, Li Ran paused slightly, and then continued:
"So, there are two. Obviously, if the fourth prince really wants to put himself to death, Zhang Huatai should be the best place!"

"Presumably, the fourth prince also has a lot of eyeliners in Zhang Huatai, right? Using these people to kill Li Ran should not be difficult for the fourth prince, right?"

"Furthermore, the fourth prince can take advantage of the trend to push the responsibility for Ran's death onto the king, and let the king bear the crime of indiscriminately killing virtuous people. For the fourth prince, wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?"

"Isn't the fourth prince's deliberate intention all this time just to ruin the king's reputation so that it can be contrasted with the virtuous name of the fourth prince?"

At this point, Li Ran seems to have "planned" everything for Prince Qiji.

Where to kill him, how to kill him, and how to push him after killing him, Li Ran has clearly arranged for him.

Even Prince Qiji could not help trembling when he heard this.

Obviously, what Li Ran said was also for self-protection.Because at this moment, the more blatantly he speaks, the less Prince Qiji can kill him.

Killing him meant that he was really guilty.

At this moment, Prince Qiji only felt fear and shame.

His breathing became short for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help showing a little impatience. The fear and shock in his heart were ready to move under his extreme restraint, and his whole person looked very weird.

He had to admit that he was indeed no match for Li Ran.

But he didn't want to admit it.

Because being directly rubbed against the floor by someone else's IQ, and repeatedly ravaged him, this is something that his prince Qiji can't admit in his life.

terrible!

How could there be such a wise person in the world? !
At this moment, he was like a fish that Li Ran had pressed on the chopping board long ago, and he was powerless to fight back!

"Bang!"

At this moment, the bronze sword he had been holding tightly fell to the ground for some reason, and the crisp sound immediately alarmed the guards who were guarding outside the garden.

These guards were about to rush in, with fierce expressions on their faces, as if they were about to swallow Li Ran alive in an instant.

But at this moment, how could Prince Qiji have the guts to do it directly?In a hurry, he immediately waved his hand to stop the influx of those guards, and then looked at Li Ran fiercely.

"Hehe, if you don't die, my country of Chu will be in trouble!"

"Although Qiji can't kill you today, but one day, you will definitely die under the sword of my Chu people!"

Today, he has thoroughly experienced Li Ran's skills.

Without using a knife or a gun, without using a single soldier, just a few words shattered his entire plan.

But he would not show his cowardice.

Even in the case of losing everything, he still has to utter the last ruthless words.

"Hehe, I have to say that the fourth prince's remarks not only look highly of himself, but also underestimate me, Li Ziming."

"However, since the fourth prince has spoken harshly now, then I, Li Ran, will also say something here."

"What happened today must be kept in mind, and if there is a chance in the future, it must be returned!"

After finishing the words, Li Ran signaled Sun Wu and Chu Dang to pick up their own weapons, and they walked away from the mansion of Prince Qiji calmly in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing their leaving backs, Prince Qiji only raised his hand and touched his sweaty forehead.

Obviously, in this round, he lost completely.

Chapter 294_ Borrowing a knife to kill someone

After the drama of "recruiting Li Ran" carefully arranged by Wang Ziji, Wang Ziji was finally able to truly see the horror of Li Ran.

The fearless layout, the seamless strategy, every step is like the work of a god, there is no flaw at all.

While laughing, Li Ran pressed his IQ on the ground and rubbed it back and forth.

A sense of humiliation and fear arose in his heart at the same time, intertwined, and he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.

But at this time, he also suddenly understood why his brother Chu Wang Xiongwei was so persistent in recruiting Li Ran.

If such a person can be used by the Chu State, even if it is just three things, it will be extremely rare for the rise of the Chu State.

"Goddamn Wu Ju!"

Thinking of this, Wang Ziqi suddenly wanted to understand another thing, he couldn't help being startled, and then he talked to himself.

Obviously, Wu Ju brought up the matter of "killing Li Ran" to him.

At the beginning, it was Wu Ju who had the cheek to express his "loyalty" to him, and used this to deceive him.Let him be the onion this time.

Although, all of today's events had nothing to do with Wu Ju, and were entirely out of consideration for his own interests.

But for his own "incompetence", there must be a reason.

Thinking about it now, Wu Ju suggested that he kill Li Ran at the beginning. Wasn't this suggestion itself a huge pit? !
And he actually "stupidly" jumped into it!

This is clearly "deceived" ah!So, if you want to blame, blame yourself for being too simple.

Could Li Ran be killed easily by him?
And if Wu Ju suggested this to him, wouldn't he just push him into the pit? !

"Wu Ju!"

"You have to die!"

After finding the blame man, Prince Qiji vented all his anger on Wu Ju.

And Wu Ju, because of his "pretending to be smart", will make Wu pay an extremely heavy price in the future.

……

Li Ran returned to Zhang Huatai safely, unscathed.

Therefore, he was naturally in a good mood, and even hummed a ditty.

"The sun is shining in front of me, and I don't want to open my eyes..."

There is nothing better than using your IQ to crush other people's conspiracy.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the old saying: Fighting against the sky is a joy, fighting with the earth is a joy, fighting with people is a joy!

Playing with others in the palm of your hand, this kind of happiness is really unimaginable!
"Sir, don't you worry at all that the prince Qiji will wait for an opportunity to retaliate?"

Sun Wu is still a little worried, after all, this is the territory of the Chu people.

What if the prince Qiji really broke his face and would rather bear the anger of the king of Chu than take revenge on Li Ran?
Li Ran turned his head, but replied nonchalantly:
"Hehe, absolutely not."

"However... if there is such a day, then just let him come."

"Oh?"

Sun Wu was stunned at that moment.

Li Ran smiled lightly, and continued:

"Revenge? What can he use to get revenge? A few eyeliners? Or his crude methods?"

"Or, what kind of capable people can come out of him? What kind of whimsical schemes and tricks?"

After all, Li Ran "despises" Wang Ziqiji from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, Li Ran naturally has no fear in his heart when playing tricks on people he despises.

"But……"

Sun Tzu was still a little worried.

"Hehe, Changqing, do you know why I asked you to follow me today?"

Li Ran suddenly smiled, with a mysterious smile on his face.

When Sun Wu and Chu Dang heard the sound, they immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

Just listen to Sun Wudao:
"Isn't it just to prevent it before it happens? If he really does something, we can stop it immediately?"

According to Li Ran's arrangement, this should be the only role for them to follow today.

After all, if Prince Qiji really wants to take action, the appearance of the two of them will definitely change the whole incident.Just like what happened just now.

But who knew that Li Ran just shook his head.

"Oh? What is that?"

Sun Wu and Chu Dang couldn't help but looked at each other, and when their faces were blank, they couldn't help frowning and asked.

Li Ran still smiled slightly, and suddenly turned his gaze to King Chu's bedroom.

"You guys are going with me today, I did it on purpose for the King of Chu to see."

"what?!"

Rao Sun Wu couldn't help being shocked.

And Chu Dang's mind obviously didn't understand what Li Ran was talking about. The monk who was only Zhang Er was puzzled and looked puzzled.

"Here, the only one who can kill Li Ran is the King of Chu."

Li Ran said, his eyes became cold for a moment.

Yes, he asked Sun Wu and Chu Dang to follow secretly today, and to appear at the right time, in fact, it was just a show for the King of Chu.

Because, from the very beginning, he was sure that Prince Qiji would never dare to kill him.

The implication is that no matter whether Sun Wu and the others will appear there or not, Prince Qiji would not dare to stab that sword.

Although Wang Ziqiji is a little short in resourcefulness, he is not a fool after all.

Therefore, when he figured out the stakes involved, Li Ran's life was naturally guaranteed.

Therefore, if it is just to make Prince Qiji "put down the butcher knife", then for Li Ran, there is no need to mobilize the crowd like this.

The reason why Li Ran arranged for them to appear was to tell King Chu: His life is not something everyone can take!
"Sir, what do you mean...Could it be...the king of Chu also wanted to kill you?"

Sun Wu finally understood this point, but obviously he didn't fully understand it, so he was still a little uncertain.

Hearing the sound, Li Ran looked at him and smiled.

"Hehe, from here to Prince Qiji's mansion, the King of Chu's eyeliner can go back and forth at least ten times, so everything that happened in the fourth prince's residence should be clear to the King of Chu."

"If he really doesn't want me to die, I'm afraid he will send someone to persuade him before the prince abandons his sword. Even the moment I step into Prince Qiji's mansion, he should appear in person."

"But today's matter, from the beginning to the end, there was no movement from the king of Chu. Does Changqing think this is normal?"

Here it is, everything is clear.

Sun Wu looked at Li Ran with a look of shock on his face, unable to recover for a long time.

"Sir, you mean that the original intention of King Chu is to take advantage of the prince's abandonment of illness to harm Mr.?"

Yes, this is the most important thing today!
Prince Qiji wanted to kill Li Ran to avoid future troubles.

Doesn't he have Chu Wang Xiongwei?

As I said before, the reason why King Chu couldn't kill Li Ran in person was because if he did, it would definitely arouse the unanimous resentment of capable people in the world.Then how will he recruit and surrender in the future?Therefore, he absolutely can't end this matter in person, and he can't even mention it to others.

In fact, Chu Wangqi's policy towards Li Ran has always been very clear: killing Li Ran will have short-term disadvantages and long-term benefits, so it doesn't matter whether you kill Li Ran or not.It's just that he alone can't touch this black hand.

But the king of Chu can't do it himself, so can't he borrow someone else's hand?

As for whose hand it was borrowed, it seemed not so important to the King of Chu.

Wu Ju is fine, so is Prince Qiji.

As far as Wang Ziqiji is concerned: Li Ran who does not accept his recruitment is indeed a disaster, but he also does not want to get the notoriety of "killing the virtuous", and he does not want to leave any handles for others.

Wu Ju is the same
Therefore, the matter of "killing Li Ran" is doomed to fail under the arguing between several parties.

And this is why Li Ran arranged for Sun Wu and Chu Dang to follow him!
On the one hand, it is to further create an illusion of "the king of Chu cherishes talents" for the prince to abandon his illness.On the other hand, it directly dragged the king of Chu into the water, and used his embarrassing situation to better escort him in the future.
