I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 273

Qing Feng is a smart man, of course he knew Li Ran's intention of mentioning "address".

Hearing this, he no longer persisted, and said bluntly:
"Leave the old man to go to Wu country with his life, and the old man can tell you everything he knows."

As smart as he is, he certainly knows the value of "those things".

But at this moment, if you can use these things to save your own life, it is obviously the most reasonable and most appropriate choice.

"But if you can't promise to save this old man's life, then I'm sorry that this old man has nothing to say."

After all, what Qing Feng can ask for now is nothing more than a gentleman's deal with Li Ran.

As for the so-called transaction, it must be negotiated and negotiated.

Faced with the price offered by Qing Feng, Li Ran did not reject it outright.

However, he repaid the price appropriately:

"The doctor is in jail now, and I'm afraid it's impossible to help the doctor escape from the state of Wu, but if it's only about saving his life, he can do his best."

The reason why Li Ran did not dare to make this surety ticket, on the one hand, was because Chu State and Wu State were enemies of life and death. If he helped Qing Feng escape from Wu State, no matter how much the King of Chu trusted him, it would inevitably cause trouble. Come on suspicion.

Furthermore, when calling for the alliance to apply for the land, what Chu State played was the banner of arresting Qi State's rebellious minister Qingfeng.Therefore, if Li Ran secretly finds an opportunity to release Qing Feng to Wu, it will undoubtedly be a move to expand the war.Wouldn't the state of Chu have a reason to directly use troops against the state of Wu in the future?
Therefore, he could not agree to Qing Feng's request to flee to Wu, and could only do his best to save his life.

After hearing this, Qing Feng questioned directly:
"Oh? People say that Li Ziming's hands and eyes are open to the sky, and he has unpredictable skills. Hehe, isn't that the only thing he can do?"

Who knows that Li Ran smiled, but he didn't hesitate, and directly told him the reason.

"In the past, due to the death of King Wu Zhufan, Wu and Chu became mortal enemies. Now if you help you escape from Wu, the two countries will definitely fight again. At that time, the people will be destitute and their lives will be miserable. This is definitely not what they want. .”

Yes, the war between Chu State and Wu State that just ceased is also very important.

Li Ran didn't want to cause chaos in the world because of Qingfeng's going to Wu.

And Qing Feng himself knew that since he was in such a state now, it was very rare for him to be able to save his life, and it was probably just a fantasy to get out of his body, or even go to Wu country again.

After all, according to King Chu's temperament, even if he didn't kill him, he would definitely not let him go so easily.

Therefore, he had no choice but to accept Li Ran's counter-offer, and asked again with doubts:
"Mr. Ziming is sure that he can save the old man's life?"

At this juncture, he couldn't help being careless, after all, it was related to his head.

Li Ran immediately replied:

"Of course we will do our best to do this matter. With the trust that the king of Chu has in Ran, it should not be difficult to do this."

Qing Feng knew very well that there was no need for Li Ran to boast about this Haikou.After all, Qing Feng is now a prisoner, so he couldn't help but believe it when he said it.

Sure enough, Qing Feng nodded immediately when he heard the sound, with a thoughtful look on his face.

He should be thinking about how to talk to Li Ran.

But Li Ran didn't wait for him to speak, and asked directly:

"The doctor can stick to Zhufang City for so long, there must be someone behind him to help, right?"

"Apart from the Ji family of Lu State, the Hua family of Song State, and the State of Wu, who are behind the doctor? Please tell the truth."

In order to dig out the power behind him, Li Ran has gone through a lot of painstaking efforts. Now that the truth is about to be revealed, how can he hold back the urgency in his heart?

However, after thinking about it for a while, Qing Feng did not answer him directly, but asked back:
"Mister, do you know about the dark walkers?"

"Dark walkers?"

Li Ran frowned when he heard the sound.

He was apparently hearing the name for the first time.

Qing Feng nodded slightly and said:
"The dark walkers were originally an alliance formed by dignitaries from various countries, and they existed long before the Zhou royal family moved eastward."

"Because the Zhou royal family was domineering and domineering back then, the successive Zhou kings became more and more stupid, and there were even such stupid lords as King Li and King You, which are no exaggeration compared to Xia Jie and Shang Zhou."

"So the Dark Walkers came into being, composed of the ruling dignitaries who enfeoffed various countries, on the one hand to limit the power of the Zhou royal family, and on the other hand, to unite the countries, seek common ground while reserving differences, and hope for a win-win situation."

"In the beginning, the dark walkers were extremely powerful, and they were extremely effective in restraining the Zhou royal family's abuse of power. Especially during the republic, the Zhou state of China developed rapidly, and the world can be described as a scene of sorrow and prosperity."

"Until King You's period, the struggle between the dark walkers and the Zhou royal family intensified. Shenhou, as the leader of the dark walkers, launched a rebellion. This led to the rapid fall of the Zhou royal family and even the eastward relocation."

"As for this rebellion, although the dark walkers finally won the victory, because in principle it has violated their original intention, and the Zhou royal family's national power has been declining after this battle, so the dark walkers have become a very secretive issue for everyone. .And the dark walkers themselves had no choice but to go underground. Since then, the people have never heard of it, and history has never recorded it."

Unexpectedly, the Battle of the Western Zhou Dynasty would be a rebellion initiated by an organization!

Even Li Ran was shocked when he heard this.

You must know that Quan Rong and Shen Hou killed King Zhou You back then, which can be said to have risked the disgrace of the world.Li Ran never expected that this Marquis Shen of the Jiang surname would be the leader of an organization, and this organization was actually a consortium composed of dignitaries from various countries.

In other words, it can be said that it was the joint action of all countries that led the dog army to kill King Zhou You!
So this!It was a naked betrayal!
This also instantly made Li Ran suddenly realize.No wonder why the so-called "Princes of Fenghuo Opera" were able to be so unanimous and widely circulated among the various vassal states?
In the final analysis, this is a unified public opinion war against King You.

And Zhou Li probably started to collapse from then on.

The era when Zhou Li ruled the world, that is, since then, it has gradually moved towards darkness.

An organization has directly affected an era!
Even Li Ran couldn't help feeling terrible about the power of this organization.

And the self-restraint and restoration of propriety advocated by the countries of the Central Plains these years seems to be nothing more than a joke at this time.

Their ancestors betrayed the royal family of Zhou and trampled the rituals of Zhou to the ground, but at this time they turned around and said that all the superiors should restrain themselves and return to the rituals. What is it if it is not a joke?
"So, the dark walkers, do they still exist today?"

Li Ran's eyes sharpened suddenly.

Qing Feng was silent for a while, and finally nodded with great difficulty.

"That's right, not only do the Dark Walkers exist, but the old man is also one of them."

"In addition to this old man, the Ji family of Lu State and the Hua family of Song State are also one of them."

Hearing this, Li Ran was stunned again.

No wonder the Ji family of Lu State and the Hua family of Song State wanted to help Qingfeng with all their strength. It turned out that they belonged to such an alliance of interests.Moreover, it has a long history, great power, and under the combination of each other, it can be said that it has covered the sky with one hand!

And the reason why they want to keep Qingfeng is obviously tantamount to preserving a key link in their entire profit chain.

"What about the leader?"

"Who is the leader of your dark walkers?"

Li Ran hurriedly asked another very crucial question.

But who knows that Qing Feng shook his head again and said:

"I don't know."

He looked at Li Ran and said:
"The principals in the dark crowd are called 'Seven Monarchs'. The so-called 'Seven Monarchs' refers to the fact that there are seven principals on their heads, not just seven people."

"As far as I know, two of the principals are Jisun Yiru of Lu State and Feng Duan of Zheng State. As for the other five, I have no way of knowing now."

"But the only thing that is certain is that the leader of the 'Seven Monarchs' is probably from Jin."
