Faced with Ji Sun Yiru's deliberate solicitation, Li Ran responded in the most direct, ridiculing and sharpest way.
As for Li Ran, he himself is not a person with lofty ideals and high morals. Otherwise, he would have died long ago when he learned the news that Prince Zhou Jin had been killed.
But at least he is still a person with ups and downs and a clear distinction between love and hate. Ji's hands covering the sky, unscrupulous means and disregard for human life are "evil" in his eyes. Being in the company of such people would only make him feel sick.
Ji Sun Yiru looked at Li Ran with such a tough attitude, and the murderous intention surged in his heart again.
"Hmph! Want to leave? It's not that easy!"
Before he finished speaking, a dozen warriors appeared out of nowhere outside the elegant room of the wine shop, each holding a weapon, and temporarily blocked Li Ran's path.
"Haha, it seems that what Li expected is indeed true. This is indeed a banquet without good wine."
As expected, Ji Sun Yiru had no intention of letting Li Ran go back alive this time. If you can't get a great talent like Li Ran, you can never let others get it! Otherwise, it will be a recipe for disaster in the future.
"kill him!"
He felt that he was very smart and had done both preparations.
The warriors heard their master's order and immediately attacked Li Ran.
But at this moment, two figures suddenly broke in from the window of the wine shop! After he turned over and landed on the ground, one of them happened to be protecting Li Ran. Taking another closer look, it turned out to be Sun Su and Sun Wu.
The sound of fighting between Jin and Ge sounded again. There is nothing more to say, let’s fight!
Ji Sun Yiru has always been curious about how Li Ran escaped the assassination in that alley.
Seeing Sun Su and Sun Wu at this moment, he suddenly realized:
"It turns out that Li Ran actually has such a master beside him!"
Sun Su and Sun Wu were seen on the left and right, guarding Li Ran. The Ji family warriors could not get close at all. In addition, the passage of the wine shop was too narrow. These warriors were crowded together and were beaten by the second grandson, and they fell down one after another. The ground howled.
There was no emotion or anger on Li Ran's face, he just looked at everything in front of him calmly. But Ji Sun Yiru, who was in the private room, saw his people falling to the ground one after another. He was furious and rushed over with a green sword, planning to do it himself.
But Ji Sun Yiru was not a practitioner after all. Even if he had practiced, it was just for fun. How can it be compared with people like Sun Wu and Sun Su who rely solely on their skills to make a living?
At this moment, Sun Wu jumped over and slammed his feet on the walls on both sides. In an instant, he stood in front of Ji Sun Yiru. The sword in his hand suddenly flashed with light, and it cut straight into his wrist!
The speed of this move was so fast that it was staggering. Ji Sun Yiru was not expecting it. In panic, Sun Wu stabbed his wrist with a sword. In an instant, he was bleeding and screaming.
"Give...Give it to me, I'll kill them!"
He, who was of noble birth, had never suffered such an injury. He became angry and yelled at the top of his lungs.
The Ji family warriors who had been waiting outside were all included in an instant. They rushed forward one after another and continued to attack. The restaurant, which was originally quite lively, screamed again and again. Everyone fled in panic, and the scene was chaotic.
Li Ran glanced at Ji Sun Yiru's face, and then said calmly to Sun Wu and Sun Su:
"Ha! Sun Su, I'll leave this to you. It's just a bunch of trash, just clean it up!"
Then, Li Ran lifted a bronze sword from the ground and walked through the corridor that had been cleared by Sun Wu. Came to the private room again.
At this time, Ji Sun Yiru was the only one in the private room. His warriors were blocked by Sun Su. Sun Wu was watching him closely, so that he did not dare to move rashly.
Li Ran stepped forward, weighed his opponent's bronze sword in his hand, and suddenly sneered:
"Hmph, is this the face of your Ji family?"
Before inviting him to have a drink, he swore that he was not malicious, but now that he couldn't be bribed, the truth was revealed immediately, and in public.
One second he was talking about making Li Ran the mainstay of the Lu State, and the next second he was calling people in to kill and silence him.
Ji's change of expression was really faster than turning the page of a book.
Youdao is one-third of the truth in singing and acting, but Ji's play is not even three-point. Those who don't know it think that today's situation is a trap, just to ambush Li Ran! It's just despicable to the extreme.
However, Li Ran didn't look very angry about this, because in his eyes, this was just child's play.
"Haha, I had expected you to be in today's game. What do you think the purpose of Li's greeting to the servant before leaving was? Isn't it just to prevent you from doing this?"
"Hmph! You are trying to show off today, but one day, I, the Ji family, will definitely make you die a miserable death!"
Ji Sun Yiru knew that it would be difficult to kill Li Ran today, so he immediately put down his cruel words, the muscles on his face kept shaking, obviously he hated Li Ran deeply.
Such cruel words would not help, but they would make him feel better.
But he never thought that he and Li Ran had completely broken up with each other today. How could Li Ran give him another chance?
"Oh? In that case, I have no choice but to strike first."
Li Ran was startled when he heard the sound, and then he approached step by step with the bronze sword in hand, with a strong murderous look in his eyes.
"What do you want to do! Be presumptuous!"
"I am the future sect leader of the Ji family, how dare you touch me!"
Ji Sun Yisu had no guards around him at the moment, and Sun Wu was standing nearby. He didn't dare to move, for fear that Sun Wu would come up and give him another blow.
At this time, he saw Li Ran pressing forward step by step. His breathing became rapid, his mind was shaken, and he could not help but tremble when he spoke.
"Oh? The leader of the Ji family? It's you I'm going to kill!"
Li Ran shouted loudly, then raised his sword and slashed directly at Ji Sun Yiru!
Fight? Fight!
With the humblest dream!
To the whimpering and roaring in the dark night!
Revenge for Tai Ziye!
Also seek justice for the Duke of Lu!
Killing Ji Sun Yiru completely destroyed the ambition of the old thief Ji Sun, leaving the Ji family in despair!
This sword! Cut it down!
"Ding!"
Just when Li Ran's sword was about to strike Ji Sun Yiru! A harsh sound came out loudly again.
Sun Wu's sword was standing in front of Ji Sun Yiru!
Li Ran's hands were trembling. He was not a martial artist. After the sword was blocked with all his strength, the force on the sword's edge reacted on his hand, causing a moment of pain.
He turned his head and looked at Sun Wu, his cold eyes without any words, only showing a sense of sadness and indignation.
Sun Wu didn't say anything, he just stood there as if nothing had happened, slowly shaking his head, as if to say: now is not the time to kill him.
Li Ran reacted after this reminder. If Ji Sun Yiru is killed out of anger today, it will be a disaster for both the Shusun family and the Ji family.
Regardless of the fact that Ji Sunsu would definitely take crazy revenge on him. Even if this matter were to be revealed to the world, it would be a huge taboo. Someone invites you to a drink, but you disagree and kill the person. This will inevitably lead to verbal and written criticism from people all over the world.
Is it worth trading the future of both families for Ji Sun Yiru's life?
The answer is obvious.
Li Ran threw away the sword in his hand and looked at Ji Sun Yiru, who had shrunk in fear in front of him, with stern eyes.
"Hmph! Don't think that by supporting Young Master Chou to rise to power, you Ji family can do whatever you want in the Lu Kingdom."
"Don't forget, Mr. Li is alone. One person has enough to eat, but the whole family is not hungry. If we are pushed to the limit, the worst thing is that everyone will be destroyed, and everything will be destroyed!"
This was also cleverly said, and the implication was that these actions were all my personal actions, Li Ran, and had nothing to do with anyone else.
It's okay if I don't kill you today. If I really kill you, Ji Sun Yiru, the injustice will have its owner and the debt will have its owner. This debt will only be settled on my head, Li Ran.
Having said that, life can never be that simple.
After saying the cruel words, Li Ran turned around and left.
Seeing this, Sun Wu also hurriedly followed. At this time, Sun Su had almost cleared away the warriors in the passage. Because this time Sun Wu was protecting Li Ran, Sun Su was able to fight without worries.
Seeing Li Ran coming out, he immediately followed him. He helped Li Ran get into the carriage and drove away with Sun Wu. The people watching outside the wine shop pointed and commented for a while.
"Ah? Isn't this Li Ziming who was at the Xialiuhe rally that day?"
"How did he mess with Ji's people? Hey, we're in big trouble now."
"Hey, how did you know that this Li Ran was on good terms with the former prince? I heard that it was Ji's people who killed the former prince. This Li Ran must not be at odds with the Ji's!"
The circulation of information in Qufu City is still very fast. After all, Li Ran does not intend to hide many things from the general public.
After this battle, he and Ji were completely on opposite sides.
When Ji Sun Yiru returned home, Ji Sunsu had already heard the news and hurried over to ask if anything was wrong.
"Grandpa, let your grandson kill that Li Ran!"
Ji Sun Yiru, who had his wrist injured, had already made up his mind to kill Li Ran, no matter what Ji Sunsu's arrangements were.
Seeing his grandson with murderous intent on his face, Ji Sunsu did not expect that things would develop like this. He immediately frowned and said:
"Then what is the origin of the guards around Li Ran? Are you sure about it?"
Ji Sun Yiru did not answer directly, but said bitterly:
"My grandson will definitely kill him to avenge today!"
After hearing this, Ji Sunsu immediately sat down, touched the long beard on his chin, and said thoughtfully:
"At the moment, Li Ran seems to have a close relationship with the Ji family. If we attack him blatantly, we might offend Zheng Guo."
"Besides, the crown prince is about to ascend the throne, so we must not give birth to troublesome children at this time. It's not too late to wait until after the ceremony to make any plans after the grandson is well."
Compared with Ji Sun Yiru's recklessness, Ji Sunsu's maturity suddenly became more obvious.
They supported Gongzi Chou to ascend to the throne. Once Gongzi Chou ascended the throne, the monarchy of Lu would be in their hands.
It will naturally be much better to attack Li Ran at that time, in the name of the Lu court.
Ji Sun Yiru understood what he meant, but the hatred in his eyes could not dissipate.
"Grandfather has already sent people to Jin."
"This matter cannot be done recklessly. It is not worth destroying our entire plan just for one Li Ran."
"You have to remember, at all times, that the interests of the whole Ji family are the most important, and you must never give up the entire forest for an ant. This is what you must remember when you succeed in the future! Don’t act on impulse!”
Ji Sunsu was not very satisfied with Ji Sun Yiru's performance today, and spoke with a hint of a lesson.
Of course, Ji Sun Yiru also knew the importance of Li Ran and the plan in front of him. Hearing this, he nodded reluctantly and said, "My grandson, please bear this in mind."
Hearing the sound, Ji Sunsu stood up and said:
"The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin is about to arrive. You go and get ready, and then go with me to greet him."
When Prince Chou ascended the throne, the Marquis of Jin sent people with ritual vessels to watch the ceremony. That's what matters most right now.
Since the last time Han Qi set things off, the relationship between the Ji family and the Jin State has been very delicate. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Sunsu wanted to make up for this big loophole.
After all, the Ji family can offend anyone, but they dare not offend the Jin State at all.
