Hearing that it was Prince Wei of Chu State's Ling Yin who came to greet the bride in person, Li Ran felt something was wrong and immediately asked the leading guard to come inside to pay his respects.
When the warrior heard what Li Ran said was reasonable, he couldn't think of anything to refute for a moment, so he immediately turned around and went to report it.
At this time, Ji Le was a little worried when he saw that Li Ran was still not coming back, so he rushed over from the manor wearing a gauze hat.
"husband......"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiyue saw Li Ran in the crowd and was about to speak, Li Ran stopped her with his eyes.
He motioned her to step aside, and then he also pulled away and came to her side, and whispered to her:
"Madam, the background of these people is indeed not simple. They are actually Prince Ling Yin of the Chu State, who personally welcomed the wedding party! It is said that the one who came to marry was Feng Duan's daughter, but after thinking about it for my husband, I'm afraid it's not that different. Simple."
"Ling Yin of Chu State? Marrying the daughter of the Feng family?"
Ji Le was stunned when he heard this. Where are they? They are completely incompatible with each other. How could they get married?
"Yes, Feng Duan and Prince Wei of the Chu Kingdom are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. How could they get married for no reason?"
"Furthermore, except for a few accompanying maids, all the people in this welcoming team are dressed as warriors. We have always heard that the people of Chu are tough. Even though there are only two thousand people in this area, once they enter the city, they start to fight. Even if there are 20,000 people stationed in the city, they are no match for them."
As he said that, Li Ran glanced at the "bridal welcoming team" now stationed on the official road without leaving any trace.
"I heard from Dr. Zichan that the year before last, Feng Duan's son, Feng Juan, was driven out of Zheng by Dr. Zichan for hunting in the fields. So not long ago, Feng Duan planned to target Dr. Zichan. He committed the poisoning of Zheng Yi in order to avenge this incident. And now, Feng Duan is even more aggressive about marrying the Chu State. I am afraid that this matter is far from as simple as we imagined."
What's going on?
Fengjuan, whose courtesy name is Zizhang, is the son of Fengduan.
It turns out that the new reform policy of Zichan started two years ago, and the nobles in Zheng State resisted the reform of Zichan fiercely.
And Toyomaki served as this pawn.
That was the year before last, before Li Ran came to Zheng Yi.
Toyotaki Akira requested to expand the hunting area without authorization for the purpose of offering sacrifices, but Zisan refused. Toyomaki was furious and used his own soldiers to prepare for Zichan's rebellion.
And what is reflected behind this is actually far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.
Who is Toyomaki? Toyodan's son!
If Toyomaki wants to rebel, that's a flag! And what he represents, in addition to the Feng family, naturally also includes all the nobles whose interests have been harmed.
After Zichan learned about this incident, he knew it would not be easy to deal with, so he did not retaliate. Instead, he took a retreat-to-advance approach - running away in the wild.
As a minister in power, he resigned only because of this incident. As a result, there was an uproar in the country of Zheng.
At this time, fortunately, the first minister, Hanhu, turned the tide at the critical moment, stood up to support Zichan, and settled the matter. Instead, Fengjuan was expelled from the country on the grounds of transgression.
Even though his father was Feng Duan, who was the third most powerful person in the Zheng Kingdom, he could not stop this. From this, the relationship between Zichan and Fengduan was completely forged.
And this incident can also be regarded as the reason why Feng Duan deliberately put his son to death several times.
But fortunately for Zichan, Li Ran's timely arrival helped him easily dismantle Feng Duan's conspiracy one after another. Not only did the overall situation of Zheng Guo be taken into account, but the reform of Zichan was also continuing to advance.
Therefore, Feng Duan now intends to marry Prince Yin of Chu State, and Chu State has come to welcome the bride with such great fanfare. How could Li Ran, who knew what happened before, dare not to be more careful?
"My husband means that Doctor Fengduan may have colluded with the Chu State, intending to..."
At this point, Rao Shijile also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately became slightly flustered -->>

Covered his mouth.
Li Ran nodded slightly, then looked calmly at the Chu State wedding team behind him.
"Madam, please return to the city first and inform Dr. Zichan of this matter as soon as possible, so that he can immediately strengthen the city defense and strictly guard the capital."
Now that the matter has come to this, Li Ran has no other choice.
Ji Le was a little flustered at this time, nodded and was about to go back, but the next moment she suddenly turned back to look at Li Ran.
"Of course, what about you?"
Yes, Ji Le returned to Zheng Yi, where is Li Ran? What is he going to do?
"Don't worry, my husband will naturally have to go and meet Prince Chu for a while."
Li Ran took a deep breath, his expression still calm.
"But just in case..."
"It's okay, he hasn't entered the city yet. Then you can't do anything to me. After all, I am also a traveler of the Zheng Kingdom and the son-in-law of the Ji clan. Even if he conspires with Feng Duan, it is not appropriate to expose him prematurely at this time."
"Don't worry, your husband has his own rules."
Li Ran made up his mind. Since this matter happened to him, he had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility.
When Ji Le heard this, he was still uneasy, but knowing that this matter was of great importance, he had no choice but to turn around and go straight away.
At this moment, the warrior from Chu State also came back and came to tell Li Ran that his Majesty Yin had invited him.
So, under the leadership of Wu Ren, Li Ran passed through layers of dense guards and came to the middle of the wedding team.
On a brightly colored carriage, a middle-aged man in colorful clothes was sitting upright. He was wearing a crown of Chu State Ling Yin on his head and a jade belt around his waist. His eyes were like torches, exuding a strong aura of heroism.
And when he stood up, even Li Ran couldn't help but be stunned.
Seven-foot man, seven-foot man, this time he really saw it.
With a height of more than two meters, he instantly outshone all the warriors around him, and when he stood up, the entire wedding team, without exception, all knelt down in unison.
More than two thousand people knelt down at the same time. This majesty was truly spectacular.
Yes, this person is none other than Wang Ziwei, the current Ling Yin of Chu State, the brother of King Jia Ao of Chu State and the second son of the King of the Communist Party of Chu.
It has been more than a hundred years since King Wu of Chu Xiong Tong became king, and in the days that followed, the Kingdom of Chu became increasingly stronger and stronger after several generations of British rulers.
Therefore, the heroic spirit that has always flowed in the Chu people's bones enables them to be easily distinguished from other people at any time and anywhere.
Therefore, let alone the current prince Wei.
As a famous king in the future, his image and temperament are even more "superior".
Li Ran looked at Wang Ziwei in front of him, and the theatrical image of "King Zhou" that he had seen before suddenly came to his mind.
If you two were born in the same era, you would really be indistinguishable.
"Bold! How dare you not kneel down when you see Lord Ling Yin!"
Just when Li Ran was lamenting the fate of Prince Wei in the future, the guards around him had drawn their swords out of their sheaths, and the angry shouts suddenly woke him up.
Li Ran heard the sound and hurriedly bowed and said:
"I, Li Ran, a traveler from the State of Zheng, come to see Lord Chu Lingyin."
After all, Wang Ziwei is only Ling Yin now, and his status is basically the same as Zhao Wu and Han Qi of Jin State. Such a status is indeed not enough to require him to kneel down and kowtow like a pedestrian from Zheng Guoxing.
"Haha, are you Li Ran?"
The princes gathered around and looked at Li Ran condescendingly, with disdain on their faces.
Li Ran's name has been spread all over the world. Since he is the magistrate of Chu State, how can he not know about it?
But in his eyes, this Li Ran seemed to be nothing more than that.
