I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 42
As Yang Tongji's words fell, Han Qi was caught in a dilemma again for a while, he couldn't help showing a thoughtful look on his face, and remained silent.

Just now, what Yang Tongji said just now revealed his trust in Li Ran, which is actually extremely unusual.

Yang Tongue, as the strongest think tank of the Jin State, has never trusted a person like this before, even any of the six ministers, even the current general Zhao Wu.

So when he saw that Yang Tongue had such confidence in Li Ran, he was very suspicious and hesitant.

After a while, he didn't know what to do, so he could only squeeze out a sentence:

"Well, since Shu Xiang believes in this person so much, then Han will bet on this game!"

Han Qi has always regarded Yang Tong He as his confidant, after all they have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, he knows that Yang Tong He is a man, and he will never trap his old friend.

After hearing the sound, Yang Tongue just sneered, and then caressed the case with a lot of smiles:
"Hehehe, why is Han Zhongjun doing this? This is a game we are sure to win! What kind of bet is it?"

"Oh? Uncle Xiang, what does this mean?"

Han Qi was surprised again, his eyebrows raised slightly.He only listened to the sheep tongue and continued to analyze:

"Regardless of whether the Ji family returns to the city or not, the Ji family's stumble this time, if it is not for ten years of reunion, I am afraid that there is no possibility of rising again."

After the words fell, Han Qi just sighed and shook his head when he saw the mysterious smile on Yang Tongxue's face.

Yang Tongue seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said slowly:
"What Ji Sunsu lost at the Pingqiu meeting this time was the face of the entire Lu country. And those cities that were seized from the two countries, although they were all the fiefdoms of the Ji family, they were also the land of Lu. The city of the country. Returning all of them now, how hurt the country of Lu is!"

"Since the Ji family has been severely injured, how can Meng Sunjie, the suzerain of the Meng family in the state of Lu, be a fool? How dare he join forces with him again? In this way, the three-legged confrontation of the state of Lu has been established. Why are you afraid of the Ji family's surrender?" Qi? And now I see Ji Sunsu, with such a withered body, I am afraid that he will not live long."

Having said that, Yang Tongue paused slightly, then turned to look at Han Qi again:
"The Chinese army might as well think about it a little bit more. With the new defeat of the Ji clan, the three-legged confrontation will be successful, and who will benefit the most?"

He seemed to have only half spoken.But Han Qi already understood, and immediately nodded and said:

"Well, what Uncle Xiang said is true. I have been taught since then... This Li Ziming is indeed extraordinary. If I can make friends with him, it will be of endless benefits to me... oh, to my country of Jin! Well, it is still Uncle Xiang has the foresight!"

Sheep Tongue Li is also worthy of being a master of speech of a generation. He is absolutely top-notch in speaking nonsense when he sees people.

In his subsequent words, although "Li Ran" was not mentioned at all, Han Qi's mind is full of "Li Ran"'s plotting world.Naturally, everything leaned against him.

Hearing the sound, Yang Tongue knew that Han Qi's intention had been decided, so he waved his hands and said with a smile:

"Hey, the Chinese army has won the prize."

Therefore, regarding whether to let Ji Sunsu return, it was decided for the time being.

Faced with Yang Tongue's deep belief in Li Ran, Han Qi couldn't find a reason to refute.At this time, it is natural to stand on the side of the sheep tongue gill.

And Ji Sunsu probably never imagined in his dreams that he would actually be a dignified minister of the State of Lu, holding the power of the State of Lu, and would fall into the hands of a mere guest official today.

However, what made him even more unexpected was yet to come.

In Jiangcheng, under the leadership of Ji Le, Li Ran came to another courtyard of Ji Clan.

The caravans operated by Jishi come from all over the world, and all the princes have their caravans. Therefore, it is not surprising to have a courtyard in Jiangcheng.

But what surprised Li Ran was that after Ji Le brought him here, he discovered that Ji Le's father was actually there.

Are you meeting your parents now?

Rao even Li Ran couldn't help opening his mouth, his face was full of bewilderment, he originally thought he was just here to meet Zheng Guozichan.

After visiting Yang Tongue before, Li Ran learned from the Jiyue Office that Zheng Guozichan's lobbying efforts were actually behind the win over Han Qi and getting the Marquis of Jin to punish Ji Sunsu.

So he thought that no matter what, since they were together, at least he should say thank you face to face.For Luhou, it is also for himself.

Therefore, he asked Ji Le to make an appointment with the delivery doctor beforehand.

But what he didn't expect was that Ji Le's father, Ji Xian, was also here.

"My Li Ran, I have met the two adults."

Zichan, the grandson of Mu Gong, the Guo family, the name Qiao, the word Zichan.

Today's Zichan is sitting in the main seat.

Following Li Ran's gaze, I saw that Zichan was only in his early thirties, and he was extraordinarily handsome, his brows were like swords, his eyes were like ink stains, and there was a faint smile on his square face. A very friendly feeling.

And Ji Xian standing beside him is somewhat similar to Ji Le, with a pair of eagle eyes like torches on the high bridge of his nose, he is not angry and majestic, standing beside Zi Chan, he is actually one level taller than Zi Chan The head is seven feet long.

Seeing Li Ran himself, Zichan turned his head and looked at Jixian, the smile on his face gradually became stronger, and then he said to Li Ran:
"I've heard about Li Ziming's name for a long time, but when I saw him today, he is really handsome and talented!"

"Come, give me a seat."

This meeting was Li Ran's meeting with Zichan, and Jixian was actually just a companion.Therefore, even if he was in Jishi's other courtyard at this time, it stands to reason that Zichan should greet Li Ran.

Jixian didn't say anything, he looked up and down at Li and then gave Ji Le a look. The father and daughter seemed to have something to say, so they went aside.

Seeing the two leave, Zichan immediately smiled and said:
"Maybe Ziming doesn't know something. Brother Zijia loves Le'er the most. If Le'er was so stubborn when he was in Zheng Guo, I'm afraid he, as an old father, would have searched Zheng Guo all over."

It turned out that Ji Le's previous trip had not been approved by Ji Xian, but ran out in private.After Jixian found out, he was very annoyed, and ordered people to find Jile no matter what, and tied him back.

After searching around, I learned that Ji Le had actually gone to the State of Lu. After hearing the news, Ji Xian sent a letter to Shu Sun Bao, begging him to take care of Hao Sheng on his behalf.

But who knows that the assassination happened in Qufu City later, and Ji Le was implicated by Li Ran, and almost died. Ji Xian couldn't help being furious when he heard the news. Leopard contacted and asked about the whole story, and only then did he learn about the fight between Li Ran and the Ji family.

And this is why the Ji clan tried so hard to help the uncle Sun clan deal with the Ji clan.

Jiyue is the jewel in the palm of Jixian, and now he went to Qufu, but was plotted against by the Ji family.As the head of the family, Jixian, how can he spare the Ji family?Coupled with the reason of Zichan, it is even more obligatory to deal with the Ji family.

It's just that Li Ran didn't know about these things, and he thought for a while that Ji Shi's help might be all due to Dr. Zichan.

Hearing what Zizi said before and after childbirth, Li Ran was suddenly taken aback.

"But Ziming, there is one thing I don't understand, and I hope Ziming can enlighten me."

Hearing this, Li Ran stood up straight and cupped his hands and said:
"How dare you, please tell me clearly."

"Qiao is indeed curious, but why does Ziming insist on going his own way, making him an enemy of the Ji family?"

The smile on Zichan's face is still the same, but before it was modest, but now it is a little mysterious.

Ji first dealt with Ji's because Ji's moved his precious daughter.Moreover, Uncle Sun and he are in-laws.

What about Li Ran?
Just because Ji wanted to assassinate him?

He couldn't swallow this breath?

In fact, Zichan didn't get much information from Uncle Sunbao, only that the Ji family was the murderer who assassinated the former prince. As for the other news about Li Ran, it was related to the reputation of Lu State, so Shusunbao didn't mention too much .

However, Zichan had already heard Li Ran's speech at the Xialiuhe rally.

So what he wanted to know was not the reason why Li Ran dealt with the Ji family, but Li Ran's purpose for dealing with the Ji family.

Li Ran understood immediately when he heard the sound, and respectfully said:

"The doctor doesn't know, but I and Prince Lu are close friends. Since the Ji family is the real culprit who killed Prince Ye, I should avenge the prince."

"Oh? That's all?"

The mysterious smile on Zichan's face is still there.

Li Ran said in astonishment:
"I don't know what the doctor said, what does it mean?"

Although he knew what Zichan was asking about, but right now he was in Jiangcheng, and he was very unfamiliar with both Jin and Zheng.

Li Ran didn't have the guts to make him trust a stranger he had never met so easily.

Zichan had helped him, he knew that.

However, in this treacherous era, anyone can become an enemy, and anyone can change from a friend to an enemy.

After all kinds of events in Qufu, Li Ran is no longer the original Li Ran.

"Zi Ming asked the question knowingly."

"You are a smart person. You should know how difficult it is to deal with the Ji family. I'm afraid you can't bear such determination with the words 'best friends'."

"I came all the way here this time. As far as Yu Guo is concerned, it's not bad if I say it's just to participate in the Pingqiu meeting. But what I want to know more about this time is that you, Li Zi, who is stirring up the situation in Qufu city What is Ming's heart, and what exactly is he doing?"

After Zichan's voice fell, the courtyard was silent for a moment.

After a while, Li Ran smiled apologetically, looked at him and said:

"The doctor's eyes are as bright as a torch, and I admire him."

"The power of the Ji family has fallen to the state of Lu, and the power of the public office is weak. The death of Prince Ye is just an introduction. What they really want is not a puppet, but the monarchy. It's my job. Lu is a member of the Zhou Dynasty, but how can we see Ji's misconduct? If dealing with Ji is for righteousness, it is better to say that dealing with Ji is the responsibility."

"However, the doctor has a word, and I do not agree with it."

With that said, Li Ran bowed slightly towards Zichan.

Zichan let out an "oh" and continued to ask:

"But which sentence?"

Just listen to Li Ran continue to reply:

"Although it is my duty to deal with the Ji family, it is also because I am a gentleman with the prince. Although I have the same interests as the former prince, unexpectedly he was plotted by the villain. And I have no face to meet him under the Nine Springs."

The word "friend" may really be insignificant in today's troubled times.But to Li Ran, it seemed extremely precious.

Zichan nodded upon hearing the sound, with a look of relief on his brows and said:

"Unexpectedly, Ziming is also a person of temperament! Very good, very good..."

Speaking of this, Zichan suddenly changed the subject, the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"But your Excellency is still avoiding the question asked by the overseas Chinese."

"Your Excellency's assistance to the former crown prince, Uncle Sun Bao, is it really just because you are dedicated to maintaining Zhou Li, or is it for the so-called friendship between gentlemen?"

As soon as these words came out, even Li Ran couldn't help being startled again, and his mind tightened.

He looked at the middle-aged man in his early thirties in front of him, and suddenly felt a little more guarded.

"What exactly does the doctor want to know? Please tell me clearly."

Li Ran looked at him in bewilderment.Unexpectedly, Zichan just laughed without saying a word.

In the conversation between smart people and smart people, just a few eyes and expressions can explain everything.

At this moment, Zichan's expression seemed to be telling Li Ran: Don't pretend to be confused.

Li Ran's mind turned, and a light flashed in his mind, and he immediately said in surprise:
"What the doctor is referring to is the widow?"
