I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 287
Li Ran has always adhered to his own principles of life, and he will spare no effort to complete anything he promises to others.

But this time, he couldn't fulfill his promise.He could not save Qing Feng's life in the end.

It seemed that this was the first time he was about to break his promise.

As the saying goes, there is a second time after the first time, so he didn't dare to imagine whether he himself would be reduced to a person without faith under the despotic power of King Xiongwei of Chu?If that day really comes, how will he stand in the world?
"Hmph! Husband is really serious. Husband still worries about things that are obviously out of his control. There are some things that husband can control, but he doesn't care."

"If Husband continues like this, Le'er will get angry."

Ji Le pouted again, and an expression full of displeasure suddenly appeared on her shy face.

"Why did Le'er say that? Since when has my husband been worried about things beyond his control?"

"How did this start..."

A crow flew over Li Ran's forehead, and he thought to himself that this ancestor really knows how to act coquettishly.

But Ji Le turned his head, looked at him seriously and said:

"Obviously, the matter of celebrating the seal is something that my husband cannot control."

"Obviously the king of Chu wants his head, and since my husband is kind enough to persuade me, it's fine if I can't persuade him. Why is my husband so worried?"

"Besides, Qing Feng fled here from Qi State, and now he was defeated and captured, he is already a man waiting to die. My husband is not a god, it is not easy to keep him for a while, why bother asking for trouble? "

"Although it is said that it is the duty of others to fulfill their responsibilities, it is not the responsibility of the husband. Qing Feng is also dead, and he insists on provoking the state of Chu. It is strange that the king of Chu did not kill him."

Jiyue interpreted the Qingfeng event from a common perspective.

Looking at this matter from her perspective, Qing Feng's death, just as Wu Ju said, is a death that deserves more than justification.

This is not something worth negotiating.

But Li Ran wanted to forcibly save Qing Feng's life. On this point, he was actually going against the sky, and it was impossible to do it logically.However, he persisted blindly just because of the appointment of a gentleman, and the final result would naturally not be as he wished.

Indeed, all the strategies in this world must follow the trend.Even if people who go against the trend can succeed for a while, sometimes they can succeed, but they will inevitably fail miserably in the end.

People of later generations, the so-called "man will conquer the sky", seems to be very positive energy, but in fact, this kind of approach that only pays attention to personal heroism often does not end well in the end.

"So, Le'er thinks that instead of spending so much time on this matter, Husband should spend more time thinking about how to convince the King of Chu to let Husband go back to Zhengyi."

Speaking of this, Ji Le seemed a little unhappy.

She felt that Li Ran just didn't want to go back to Zhengyi, so she deliberately found so many excuses.

However, when Li Ran heard Ji Le's words, he suddenly woke up as if enlightened.

"Yes!"

"You can only do it when you follow the trend, but how can you do it against the trend?"

"Why didn't I think of it?"

He slapped himself on the forehead, feeling sad for the dead end he had entered.

Fortunately, he has always advertised himself as being extremely intelligent, but at this moment, it seems that his IQ has dropped to the point where he is actually not as good as a female class, which is simply pathetic.

"What? Husband wants to understand?"

Ji Le looked at him blankly and asked.

Afterwards, Li Ran hurriedly bowed to Ji Le and thanked him:
"Madam is indeed my husband's lucky star! If Madam didn't mention it, I don't know how long I would have to struggle with it."

With a deep bow, the smile on Li Ran's face was bright for a moment.

Yes, in fact, from the moment Qing Feng was defeated, his fate was already doomed.

Even if the King of Chu didn't kill him, even if he forced his way out and saved Qing Feng's life, Qing Feng would still die in the hands of the dark walkers in the end.

Therefore, Qing Feng's life, he can't keep it no matter what.

Since he had promised Qing Feng before, he could only do his best.

He had already argued with reason in front of the King of Chu, and even aroused suspicion for himself. He had indeed done everything he could.

Under such circumstances, he still couldn't save Qing Feng's life, but who can blame him?
This is "potential"!

No one in the world can really go against the trend, and Li Ran is no exception.

"Hey, Le'er doesn't want your husband's kindness. Le'er just hopes that her husband will think about Le'er more in the future."

Ji Le was obviously a little angry, after all, Li Ran seemed to spend more energy on others than on her wife.

What's more, that person is still a man, how can this be possible?

"Okay, okay, as a husband, you must remember it, you must remember it!"

"It's getting late, let's go to the account now?"

Li Ran asked cautiously.

Ji Le immediately gave him a supercilious look, and then followed him into the tent.

The starry night is silent, the mountain wind gradually covers up the sounds in the forest, and the dark clouds in the sky also cover up the last ray of moonlight. The end of summer and the coolness of autumn come in response to the trend.

……

The next day, the king of Chu announced the departure of his army and headed for Zhufang City.

This move also proved the determination of King Chu to make contributions in person.

Shen Wuyu found Li Ran, this time he was smart, and did not rush to persuade the King of Chu immediately, but first came to discuss with Li Ran.

"What do you think sir?"

Of course Shen Wuyu knew that this matter was beyond what he and Li Ran could stop.After all, Li Ran told him at the beginning that the king of Chu personally marched to Qianxi and moved his capital here, which already reflected the king of Chu's determination to destroy Wu with all the power of the whole country.

At that time, even Li Ran couldn't persuade King Chu, so naturally he couldn't persuade him now.

"Leave it alone, this is beyond your control."

Li Ran's answer also seemed very "frustrated", but that was the truth.

The king of Chu's personal conquest is a certainty, so what can he do?

"Hey... It's a pity that the people's livelihood in my country of Chu is now withered, so how can I have extra money and food to use to send troops to the southeast?"

"The people's livelihood is declining, and the rich and powerful are corrupt. The king wants to build the capital and conquer all directions. This is not forcing the people..."

He didn't dare to say the last word.

When the voice fell, he looked around to make sure that no one heard it except Li Ran.

"The matter has come to this, the king has no choice but to move, if let him go back empty-handed like this, I'm afraid it will be more uncomfortable than killing him."

"Now you and I just have to perform our own duties and do our best to complete the tasks assigned by the king."

"By the way, after these days, have you found anything?"

Regarding the matter of King Chu's personal conquest, Li Ran didn't want to talk to him any more, so he had to change the subject first.

Shen Wuyu heard the sound and couldn't help sighing:
"Hey...if you are not in your position, you don't seek to govern yourself. Only when you are in your position will you know the suffering."

"It's really not an easy task to build a new city. There are thousands of tedious things before and after, and they are really exhausting."

"However, I heard that the fourth prince was in Qianxi recently... It seems that he has been in contact with many doctors. Now the cost of transporting stone materials for the construction of the new city has been put on the agenda, and it is being presided over by Fei Wuji, the guest under the fourth prince. "
