I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 254 The King of Chu Comes to Round the Field

Zhanghua Terrace, in the palace of the King of Chu.

The king of Chu stood on the steps outside the palace with awe-inspiring expression, looking up at the setting sun going west, and the geese in the shape of "people" flying slowly across the sky. There is no room for anything.

"Your Majesty."

Guan Cong walked up slowly from the steps, stopped three steps in front of King Chu, bowed and saluted.

Seeing Guan Cong coming, the King of Chu narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a deep voice:

"how?"

"The fourth prince's family suffered heavy losses, and Li Ran has calmly escaped."

In the end, everything that happened in Prince Qiji's house can be summed up in one short sentence.

When King Chu heard these words, he couldn't help but took a deep breath, his face became extremely solemn in an instant, his eyes became extremely sharp, and his whole body showed a chilling aura for no reason in an instant.

His good brother had failed.

He originally thought that with Wang Ziqiji's ruthlessness, he should be able to easily get rid of Li Ran, the future potential confidant of the Chu Kingdom.But the final result turned out to be contrary to expectations. Not only was Li Ran able to escape, but he was also unscathed.

This inevitably made him a little worried.

If even his most promising brother-in-law couldn't kill Li Ran, then who in Chu Kingdom could do it for him?
Could it be that, in the huge state of Chu, they can only watch Li Ran become his neighbor and enemy in the future?
"My lord, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Silent for a while, watching Conghu's way.

The king of Chu turned his eyes, stared at him and said:

"But it doesn't matter."

The indifferent and paranoid tone, dignified but with a hint of bewildered expression, all showed that the King of Chu at this moment really had no other way.

It is also at this time that the role of observation and obedience can be manifested.

"Li Ran is well-known, but the people in the Central Plains complained that he was used by our Chu State. After all, this man was born in Luoyi, a member of the Zhou royal family, and because of his ancestors, he was appointed as the guard History. The so-called etiquette is the most skillful person. It is this person. It is even more rare that this person is resourceful and has made contributions to the world, so all the kings and ministers of all countries respect him three points."

"After thinking about it again and again, I just feel that if Li Ran really died in our country of Chu, it would not be a good thing for our country of Chu at the moment."

"I think that at this moment, the king will go to visit in person. On the one hand, he shows his heart of courtesy, and on the other hand, he reprimands the fourth prince for his inappropriate actions. At least he can stabilize Li Ran and the monarchs of the countries at the moment. And stay in Zhu Fangcheng If it is broken, it will not be too late for your majesty to make further calculations."

The King of Chu knows what Prince Qiji did today.

However, the King of Chu never showed up from the beginning to the end, which is indeed unreasonable, and it will inevitably arouse Li Ran's suspicion.

The Zhongli battle is imminent, and the most taboo at this time is to cause trouble for Xiao Qiang.Once the interior is unstable, it will inevitably directly affect the morale of the frontline troops.

The meaning of Guan Cong is actually very simple. Prince Qiji failed to kill Li Ran today. From the perspective of the current overall situation, it is not a good thing, at least it is beneficial to the upcoming Zhongli battle.

If afterward, the King of Chu still wants to avoid future troubles, it is best to wait until Zhongli's matter is resolved before taking action.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is how to stabilize Li Ran and the armies of those countries on the front line, so that they have no reason to resist.

"Having said that, but... Ziyu thinks that the widow will still have a chance in the future?"

The opportunity that the king of Chu mentioned is the opportunity to kill Li Ran in the future.

This time the prince's action of abandoning the disease failed, Li Ran will definitely be on guard, and I am afraid that no one in the whole Chu country will have such "unreasonable thinking".Therefore, if he wanted to borrow another knife to kill Li Ran in the future, it might not be easy.

Guan Cong heard the sound, smiled clearly, and said very relaxedly:

"Hehe, don't worry, my lord. As long as Li Ran is still in our country of Chu, your lord will have plenty of opportunities."

"If you want to kill Li Ran, you must have a suitable time and a reason that no one in the world can refute. In this way, it is the right move."

"I think the king doesn't need to act too hastily now."

After Guan Cong's words fell, King Chu's face full of melancholy showed a ray of thought.

He naturally understands what Guan Cong means, and also understands that the future will be long in what Guan Cong said.

But he was still a little worried.

After all, Li Ran who can "strategize and win a thousand miles away" is what he is most worried about.

"Hey, all right. Ziyu, let me go with the widow."

King Chu thought for a while, and he finally accepted Guan Cong's opinion and went to "visit" Li Ran.

What happened today, if he, the king of Chu, said a few words without showing his face, it would definitely be unreasonable.

So, he walked out of the Zhanghua Hall and was about to move to the Fragrant Garden, but he stopped after taking two steps.

"Come here, let the fourth prince come to see you."

"Let him wait in Houde Palace!"

Since he visited Li Ran and performed an "apology" to Li Ran, he had to do a full set of acting. How could Wang Ziqi not be "punished" for doing such a thing today?
Guan Cong heard the sound, immediately bowed and said:

"Your Majesty Yingming."

……

In the Fragrance Garden, the fragrance of flowers is permeating, and butterflies are flying.

It seems to be an instinct for girls to love flowers.

Li Ran didn't tell her what happened in the Prince's Qiji Mansion today, firstly because he was afraid that she would be worried, and secondly, he didn't want to involve her in it.

He picked some flowers, made a garland, and put it on Jiyue's little head. The flowers complemented the beauty, making Jiyue look more beautiful for a while.

Rao even Li Ran couldn't help but be obsessed with it.

Seeing his gaze, Ji Le immediately blushed and said coquettishly:
"Husband."

"Hehe, Le'er is still so beautiful and charming."

Li Ran praised from the bottom of his heart.

The next moment, he hugged Ji Le into his arms and said softly:
"It must be a blessing from the previous life to be able to have fun with my husband."

Although Ji Le looks carefree, but if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that she is also ice and snow smart.

It has been more than half a year since Li Ran left Zhengyi. If it wasn't for Jile who was in charge of everything in Zhengyi, Zheng Guo's backyard would have been a mess. How could he be so calm and free to deal with it? This crisis in the state of Chu?
So for Li Ran, Ji Le is his most solid backing. As long as Ji Le is not in danger, then he can do whatever he wants without any scruples.

"However, this Chu country is a place of right and wrong after all, Le'er should go back earlier."

Li Ran thought about it, and finally said.

When Ji Le heard this, she immediately broke free from Li Ran's arms, and the air on Xiu's face instantly filled with dissatisfaction.

"No! Le'er won't leave!"

"If Husband doesn't leave, Le'er won't leave either!"

Ji Le came, so he didn't plan to go back alone.

She pouted, not giving Li Ran any chance to refute.

"Le'er doesn't need to get angry, what she said for her husband is the right thing to do."

"Hmph! I don't care what is right and what is wrong, as long as you don't leave, I will never leave!"

As soon as she heard that Li Ran wanted her to go back, Ji Le's paranoid side went online again, turned her head and ran back to the house, not even giving Li Ran a chance to reason.

Looking at Ji Le's angry back, Li Ran could only stand there in a daze for a moment, sighing in vain.
