Li Ran's timely rescue saved Ji Wang and Ji Xun from an unnecessary disaster. The two of them were grateful to Li Ran.
"Oh, thank you very much, Mr. Ziming. If it hadn't been for your help today, both of my brothers would have become prisoners of Weiguo. We don't know how to repay such kindness. Mr. Ziming, sir, Please accept my courtesy."
Perhaps because they were so frightened that their legs were weak, the two brothers fell to their knees on the ground as they spoke, and they no longer looked like they were children of a wealthy family.
"If sir gives you orders in the future, my two brothers will definitely not dare to resign!"
However, as the saying goes, "If you take a hard time, you will gain wisdom." The two of them suffered such a disaster, but they also knew that someone must be secretly trying to harm them during this transportation of food.
And Li Ran was able to arrive in time, which indirectly meant that Li Ran must have some understanding of the matter. In this case, when they go back, they will definitely have to rely on Li Ran to figure out who is setting them up in the dark.
"You two young masters, you don't have to be like this. This time you came to rescue you all because you were entrusted by Miss Ji Le. If you two really want to thank you, you can thank this good sister of yours properly after you go back. "
Li Ran responded casually, although the two of them didn't have much favorable impressions of it.
But since these two people are now being assassinated by Zhu Niu, they can be regarded as their allies, and they will always be useful in the future.
So, after the words fell, he helped the two of them up, patted their shoulders with some comfort, and cheered them up:
"You don't have to be so depressed. When you return to Zheng Guo, I will help you find the real murderer."
"Oh? Seriously?"
After hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but express joy.
Originally, the two of them saw that Li Ran didn't care much about them, and they didn't dare to be harsh. They seemed a little discouraged. After all, they had heard of Li Ran's abilities and knew that even if he was a doctor, he would have to visit him in person.
This kind of face is not something ordinary people can compare with.
As for the two of them, because they had benefited from their sister, they had already been saved by Li Ran once. If they had any other thoughts, they would be a little regretful.
Therefore, how could they not be excited when they heard that Li Ran said that he would help them find out the mastermind?
"What? You two can't trust me?"
"How dare you, how dare you! Your husband's reputation is astonishing. If you can get your help from him, it will be a dream for both of us!"
"Even if we reciprocate the favor, as for your matter, sir, please rest assured that we both know how to do it."
In the second half of his words, Ji Zeng gave Li Ran a look that looked very cunning.
Li Ran couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this, and asked in surprise:
"Me? What's going on?"
He didn't quite understand what Ji Zeng meant.
Just listen to the sacrifice and say with a smile:
"Oh, sir, why do you ask questions knowingly? It's better not to pretend to be ignorant and tease us. Everyone in the clan knows what happened between you and my little sister. Even my father has already agreed, and he will wait until he shows off his skills. You can become my son-in-law who rides the dragon to my family."
"ha?"
Li Ran's eyes nearly popped out when he heard the sound.
He thought to himself: I just came to the Kingdom of Zheng to escape the pursuit of the Ji family, how come I want to marry you to worship the family? No, no, Ji Le has never told me about this!
Depend on! Is this the legendary... arranged marriage?
In fact, he really didn't know about this, and he actually had no plans in this regard at the moment.
Although he has a good relationship with Ji Yue and has feelings for men and women, they are all based on emotion and not on etiquette. No further thoughts. After all, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old. According to the modern social system, he is not yet a minor, right?
Besides, he didn't even dare to think about getting married.
Although he now has a small reputation in the vassal states, if we put it more realistically, he wants a house but no house, a car but no car, no savings, no high school, no property, just a bare man, how about getting married? Even if it is really dizzy.
"Oh, sir, please stop teasing us. In the Ji clan, who doesn't know who doesn't know? If it weren't for the fact that my husband and my little sister had already made a private decision for life, why would my little sister swear not to marry anyone other than my husband? Now my husband is treating me again. I've received a great favor from my family, and it's too late for my father to accept it even if he doesn't agree. Why don't you, sir, just go with the flow and just accept it?"
As they spoke, the two brothers Jiyi and Jixun laughed out loud with "malicious intentions".
This made Li Ran's forehead covered with black lines. How could he have imagined that Ji Le had revealed the matter to Ji Xian without telling him.
Since you want to ask whether you agree or disagree, you have to ask yourself first!
Li Ran scratched his head for a while, only to realize that this incident was really unexpected, and he must ask Ji Le clearly after returning to Zheng Yi.
Without saying much, the group finished delivering the grain and immediately set off back to Zhengyi.
Along the way, everyone in the Ji family was already frightened, so they were naturally extra vigilant along the way.
And now that there was no food and no goods, he was traveling very fast. In just a few days, he had reached the outskirts of Zhengyi.
Li Ran, Sun Wu and Chu Dang were sitting in the same car. While chatting, Sun Wu heard that Chu Dang said that he was also intercepted by a group of warriors on the way to Weiguo. He was immediately startled and asked hurriedly. Details.
After Li Ran told him, he also expressed his guess:
"It is not difficult to understand if Shu Niu and the Ji family colluded in private. But now, Qi people have also got involved, so that now there is no clue about the matter again. It seems that the matter is becoming more and more complicated. .”
Whether it was Shu Niu's collusion with the Qi people or Shu Niu's collusion with the Ji family, he could actually understand it. After all, Shu Niu was the eldest son of Zheng Guo's Ji clan. He was in charge of the Ji clan business, and it was common for him to deal with the dignitaries of various vassal states.
However, this time Shu Niu colluded with the Ji family, deliberately assassinated himself, and even summoned the Qi people's forces to deal with him. This obviously went far beyond the scope of "seeking personal gain". It is not difficult to see that what these two and Shu Niu are planning is by no means as simple as money.
Li Ran knew very well the reason why Ji wanted to kill him, but what about Shu Niu? Why must he put himself to death? Just to vote for Ji's name? Will you do more business in the future?
If it is really a business, then the price must be equal. The Ji family is not short of money, and he really helped the Ji family do such dirty things. Could it be that the Ji family was thousands of miles away and helped him ascend to the position of the head of the Ji family? That’s completely impossible!
So, what effect will his death have on Shu Niu? What different benefits can it bring him?
He never figured this out.
In addition, he did think about it, could it be because of the festival music?
Ever since he heard that Ji Le had obtained Ji Xian's consent and insisted on marrying him, he had been wondering whether it was because of this that Shu Niu was afraid of him and even wanted to kill him. quick.
After all, his existence may have threatened Shu Niu's plan to compete for the master of the Ji clan. Ji Le, who had been directly excluded from the plan, once she got married, she was no longer part of Ji Le's family at all. But now, if Ji Le finds a son-in-law, he will naturally become a force that cannot be underestimated in the clan.
But when he thought about it again, ever since he first visited the Ji family and saw Shu Niu, Shu Niu had shown such murderous intent towards him, and at that time, Ji Le had not yet interacted with Ji Xian. Mention of marriage. Otherwise, Ji Xian shouldn't have had that kind of aloof reaction at that time.
Therefore, this should not be the reason for standing up the bull.
"Then what sir means is..."
Sun Wu was also confused and couldn't think of a reason for the moment.
Just listen to Li Ran say:
"This time, the four kingdoms of Qi, Jin, Zheng and Lu are getting together. There must be some unknown secrets hidden behind this. We must be more careful when we return to Zhengyi this time."
"Chang Qing, you will leave the team soon and return to Zhengyi, and then..."
Faced with unknown traps, he must be cautious every step of the way.
