I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 281 Life is alive, with different aspirations

At this time, when I think back to what happened at the beginning, everything seems to be traceable.

First, the Ji family pursued desperately. From Qufu to Zhengyi, the Ji family almost used all the resources they could to carry out a series of pursuits against Li Ran.

But when Li Ran arrived in Zhengyi, those who fought against him suddenly became Shu Niu, Feng Duan and others.

Although the methods they use are different from Ji's, the ultimate goal they want to achieve is surprisingly consistent.

And this can precisely explain why Shuniu first persuaded Ji to transport grain to Weiguo for sale before Li Ran came to Zhengyi.

Because, the fact that Li Ran helped Yang Tongue persuade the Marquis of Qi has long been reported from the dark circles in Qi, coupled with the news from Ji Sun Yiru's place, these people have already made preparations .

Li Ran thought this incident was an oolong before, but now it seems that all of this is a premeditated trap.

Afterwards, the grain and grass of the Qi State were robbed, and they deliberately blamed Yang Tongxue and Li Ran. The reason for this was completely logical.

As for the various open and secret fights between him and Shu Niu later, apart from the personal grievances between Li Ran and Shu Niu, naturally it also contained the will of the dark people - the New Deal to encircle and suppress Zichan.

It's just that Li Ran defeated Shu Niu in the case of losing a round first, and the poisoning in Zhengyi.These people also had to temporarily give up the siege against Zichan's New Deal.

These are the two confrontations between Li Ran and the dark walkers so far.From Qufu to Zhengyi, the forces used by the underworld were not insignificant, and the plots they designed were not ingenious.

However, judging from the process of these two fights, it seems that the dark walkers didn't pay much attention to Li Ran, a little "recipe" who only mixed among the power ministers of various countries.

Therefore, every time they just want to use the extremely simple, crude and effective method of assassination to end Li Ran's life hastily, even in Zhengyi, they still use the same method.

However, they also completely underestimated the defense force around Li Ran, and what they didn't know, his supernatural father.

Thinking of this, Li Ran couldn't help but recall what Yihe said back then.It seems that, just like what the doctor said back then, if his father hadn't been secretly protecting him, he might have lost his life.

After understanding this, Li Ran immediately felt a little respect for his husband, whom he seemed to have never met.

Not only because of the family relationship connected by blood, but also because of his ability to truly plan thousands of miles away.

"gentlemen?"

Seeing that Li Ran hadn't spoken for a while, Sun Wu couldn't help shouting tentatively.

Li Ran came back to his senses, glanced over Sun Wu's face, smiled for a while before looking at Qing Feng and said:
"Now that the Dark Walkers have lost the important stronghold of Zhongli, based on what you know about them, what plans do they have going forward?"

The city of Zhongli was broken, and the power of Chu State was growing day by day. This was obviously a serious blow to the dark walkers.

Without Zhong Liguo's containment of Chu State, Chu State will be more handy in the struggle with Wu State.It's not just because the channel for importing materials into Wu State has been interrupted.Moreover, the quarrel between Zhongli and Wu was also broken, which meant that there was no need to worry about Chu's annihilation of Wu in the future.

The loss of Zhong Liguo by the state of Wu is equivalent to the loss of one of a pair of horns, and it is bound to have to fall into a situation of fighting alone in the future.

Therefore, as a chess piece, a chess piece of the dark walkers, the dark walkers' next arrangements for Wu should be the most important.

But who would have thought that after hearing the sound, Qing Feng immediately shook his head and said:
"Since the fall of Zhufang City, this old man has lost contact with them."

"The old man is just a dying person now. Since he has been abandoned by heaven, how do he know what their next plan is?"

Qing Feng has obviously become an abandoned child, which is not difficult to see from the several attacks he encountered on the way to Qianxi when he was escorted to Qianxi.

In fact, Qing Feng himself also understood this point, but he did not feel resentment towards the dark walkers because of this, on the contrary, he very much agreed with the dark walkers' actions.

This shows how successful the dark walkers have been in brainwashing them.

Li Ran smiled and didn't speak, because he also guessed that the dark walkers would not inform him of the follow-up matters, so his question was just a chance.

All the truths are revealed today.

The information Li Ran has obtained can be described as massive, and there are thousands of clues in it, which still need to be carefully pondered and pondered.

Now that the "interrogation" was over, Li Ran was about to get up and leave, but Qing Feng was stuck in the cage again, calling him to stop:

"Sir, do you still remember the agreement with the old man?"

Qing Feng's complexion was not very good, he looked a little gloomy, but there was anxiety and apprehension flashing in his eyes.

"You mean, let the king of Chu spare your life?"

"of course."

Qing Feng looked into Li Ran's eyes, and responded very simply.

The only thing they can count on now is Li Ran.

"The old man has nothing else to ask for now. The old man doesn't care about the power of the king, the power of the minister, or the seven kings secretly!"

"Since you have agreed to this old man, sir, please don't break your promise. A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold. Sir, don't be a person who doesn't keep his word."

The uneasiness in Qing Feng's heart at this time has already surfaced on his face, although he pretended to be very calm.

It can be seen that death is a terrible thing for everyone, but what some people fear is death itself, while what others fear is the meaning of death.

"Oh? Isn't it your goal all along to return to the Dark Walkers?"

"Why don't you care now?"

Li Ran couldn't help but sarcasm him.

Unexpectedly, Qing Feng sneered and said lightly:
"You don't need to sarcasm the old man. In life, everyone makes different choices. You have your own way, and this old man has his own way. It's just the winner and the loser."

"Now that the old man has something to ask of you, the old man has nothing to say, but it is definitely not a wise move for you to make things worse."

Said the most embarrassing words in the most rampant tone.

If Qing Feng came to later generations, his "achievement" as a keyboard man should be even higher.

Li Ran smiled and said immediately:
"But since I promised you, I will do my best to save your life."

"But the doctor must also keep in mind that you should know how to say something and who to tell it to."

The Zuojun camp outside was still as calm as ever, and the spies inside the Chu State still hadn't shown up.

This is not a good thing for Li Ran.

Of course, he also didn't want to see this spy sneak in to reach some kind of deal with Qing Feng when he was not paying attention.

Qing Feng knew this very well, nodded immediately and said:
"You can rest assured that this old man doesn't believe in anyone except you now!"

Still the same sentence, in order to survive, Qing Feng can only trust Li Ran now.

Because Li Ran is already an extremely rare gentleman in this era.

Seeing this, Li Ran nodded and left the Zuojun camp together with Sun Wu.

When the two of them had just returned to their camp, Sun Wu immediately asked in a low voice:

"Sir, what shall we do next?"

Qing Feng had already opened his mouth, and the situation faced by the countries in the Central Plains was already in dire straits, and there was no room for Li Ran's hesitation.

It's time to make up your mind.
