I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 383 The Dark Walkers - Gong Jian
Chu Dang carried the prince on his back and ran all the way to the place where Fan Li was lying in ambush.

Suddenly, the ambushes appeared suddenly, and the drums of battle were thunderous. Seeing this, the defeated soldiers turned back one after another.

Gong Jun wanted to capture Wang Zichao wholeheartedly, and because Wang Zichao looked so embarrassed in front of the battle, he was caught off guard when he saw the enemy counterattacking head-on.

The situation also reversed accordingly, Gong Jian was afraid that the city gate would be lost, so he immediately called out to withdraw his troops, but at this time, most of the chasing troops had been entangled by their opponents, and it was too late to withdraw.

On the other side, Sun Wu bypassed the battlefield with his chariot and directly chose to attack the city.Under the cover of Sun Wu, the five hundred strong archers also rushed under the tower at this moment, so they immediately shot a burst of rockets into the city, and the city wall and the city were on fire for a while, causing chaos.

Sun Wu took the lead, escorted the chariot to the city gate, and began to hit the gate. The gate was solid, but under the impact of the chariot, several cracks were knocked out in the wall beside the gate. The city gate was broken.

The soldiers rushed in one after another. Seeing that the situation was over, Gong Jian thought of running away, but it was too late, and Sun Wu's great sword was already on his shoulder...

This battle was a complete victory. Wang Zichao brought Li Ran into the city and temporarily settled down in Gong Jian's mansion. The capital was originally a foothold of Wang Zichao before, and there were still many people in it who belonged to his old department. At this moment, they appeared one after another. There are also some people who follow the trend and come to worship the prince.

Wang Zichao naturally continued to employ the old ministries, but used them discreetly for those who followed suit, and immediately gathered the remnants of the army to appease the people in the city.

Seeing that Wang Zichao handled things well, Li Ran felt relieved.

Sun Wu brought Gong Jian to Wang Zichao and Li Ran, and forced him to kneel down. Wang Zichao exhorted him for a moment:
"Gong Jian, as Doctor Zhou Zongqing, you are not loyal to Zhou Zong, but you are in collusion with Shan and Liu! Do you know what crime you should be guilty of?!"

Gong Jian chuckled.

"Hmph! It's just a slap in the face! You're going to make a mess of the Zhou family. I'm afraid you don't have the right to make irresponsible remarks in front of Gong!"

The prince was furious.

"Gong Jian! Everyone in the Zhou Dynasty knows exactly how the father is going to be in the court! Even if you are confusing black and white here, what's the use?"

"Hmph! Although you are the eldest son of a concubine, you are not a son of a concubine. Even if the previous king loved you again, but wanted to make you a prince, this is pure nonsense! Although you have won a small victory today, it is difficult to stop the people in the world. Everyone! And you committed a rebellion, and the viciousness of your intentions can be described as too numerous to describe!"

"Although I am not the eldest son, my elder brother has died of illness for many years. As the saying goes, 'If there is a son, there is a son, and if there is no son, there is a son'. I am the eldest son, so why can't I be established? And my father was killed for no reason. Shan and Liu I'm afraid you can't escape your responsibility! You are helping the tyrant to abuse, and you deserve to be punished for your crime! Someone, push him out and behead him for public display!"

Wang Zichao gave an order, and immediately two soldiers came up to push Gong Jian down, but at this time Gong Jian was not afraid.

"Hahaha! Ji Chao! What you are facing is definitely not just the Shan family and the Liu family. Your defeat is also predictable. You...you will die without a place to die!"

Hearing Gong Jian's words, Li Ran couldn't help but feel moved.

"Your Highness, wait a moment!"

Wang Zichao looked at Li Ran strangely.

"Oh? Sir, what advice do you have?"

"Without him, Li Ran wants to have a private conversation with Lord Gong. I wonder if His Highness will agree?"

Wang Zichao didn't think much about it, so he just waved his hand and said:
"Since you have such a heart, is there any reason why the court will not allow it? Then let's leave his head on the neck, sir, please do it yourself."

So, Sun Wu brought Gong Jian to the backyard, and Li Ran also bid farewell to Wang Zichao and came to the backyard.At this time, Gong Jian still had an unruly expression on his face.

"Li Ran, I know what you are going to do. If you want to know something from me, it is wishful thinking. Even if Jane is a defeated general, she has nothing to say, just kill if she wants to! Hmph, if I Once he dies, that Prince Chao will be convicted of murdering Zhou Zong's old officials without authorization, let's see what kind of face he can inherit in the future!"

Li Ran said lightly:
"Hehe, my lord, please calm down! It's just...even if I let you go back immediately, I'm afraid the people behind you won't just let you go, right?!"

In fact, Li Ran vaguely guessed from his previous words that Gong Jian is the identity of the shadow walker.It's just that Li Ran deliberately hid it and didn't break it directly.

He knew that Gong Jian was originally a doctor by Zhou Wanggui's side, so he and Shan Qi were in the same breath.Now it is normal to take orders from the Shan family.

But in his view, since Shan Qi, Liu Di and others are all shadow walkers.Then how can the Lord Gong in front of him get away with it?
After hearing this, Gong Jian was obviously taken aback:
"How do you know that?"

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help sneering:

"Do you think that the dark walkers can cover the sky with one hand? Can others not know what they did? In the chaos of the Song Dynasty, although the dark walkers could not be said to have suffered a complete defeat, it was by no means smooth. The final result may not be satisfactory. Bar!"

When Gong Jian heard Li Ran say this, she seemed a little dazed:

"Hmph! Zhuzi will frame it! What does the Song Dynasty have to do with me? I only know that the Shan family can check and balance the royal family, and it can keep my Gong family safe. As for the rest, I don't know anything about it."

Li Ran couldn't help being startled when he heard this, but immediately understood.

It turned out that although this Gong Jian was also a secret walker, he only obeyed Shan Qi, and he didn't care about anything else.

As for Shan Qi, it is obviously the duty of the Seven Monarchs to be able to win over the powerful ministers of the Zhou family internally, and to be able to form alliances and external contacts externally.

"Your Excellency doesn't know about the chaos of the Song Dynasty, but you must know about Shan and Liu's murder of King Zhou, right?! Now that I have seen through your lord's identity as a member of the underworld, why should your lord cover it up for them? I have always known the tricks of the dark people, if my lord goes back now, he will be harmed by them, so why don't my lord just abandon the dark and turn to the light?"

Li Ran's words are conclusive, and he does have some confidence.When it came to Qingfeng, Li Ran failed to do what he said, and even tried his best to keep Qingfeng.But that was because King Ling of Chu at that time had his own ideas. Li Ran's words were reasonable, but in order to boost the morale of the army, King Ling of Chu finally decided to kill Qingfeng to sacrifice the flag.

However, the situation of the Prince Dynasty today is completely different from that of King Ling of Chu at that time.At that time, King Ling of Chu was full of vigor, carried forward vigorously, and was as powerful as a bamboo, but the prince had just breathed a sigh of relief today, so he must obey Li Ran's words.

Moreover, the information on this Gong Jian is extremely useful.Whether it is the situation of Cheng Zhou, or the understanding of the Shan family and the Liu family, coupled with his identity as a dark walker, if he can learn a lot from him, it will be of great benefit to the prince's entry into Cheng Zhou in the future. of.

Gong Jian laughed out loud.

"Jane is defeated now, what face does she have to live on?"

What Gong Jian said is true, it is not that he does not want to surrender, but his family members are all in the hands of Shan Qi, Gong Jian's fief is not in Beijing, but in Gong, and he is here to station in Beijing, just under his instruction, Special order to come.

Li Ran wanted to continue asking Gong Jian if there was anything difficult to say, but at this moment Fan Li came to report that Gan Loach had led an army of [-] and was now besieging the capital!
Li Ran glanced at Gong Jian, and also guessed that his family might have been hijacked by the underworld. Now that Gan Loach is attacking again, he is even more unwilling to reveal anything.

Li Ran had no choice but to order Gong Jian to be imprisoned first, and then came to the front hall. Wang Zichao had already received the report and was a little anxious.

"Your Highness don't need to disturb, [-] people are going to attack the city. This is by no means an easy task. It is just necessary to strictly prevent the inner ghosts from defecting to the enemy and offering the city. If you can defeat Gan Loach again this time, then the success of the Lordship will be just around the corner!"

Li Ran's very confident words convinced Wang Zichao and everyone present that they really need to stabilize the situation now.After all, he had just entered the city, and there were still many things to deal with, and Li Ran was like a needle for calming the sea. As long as he was around, people would feel extremely calm.

"Sir, can you put Gong Jian on the city wall and behead him in public to confuse the enemy?!"

The prince asked so.
