Therefore, Li Ran still has no idea of joining them so far.
It's no wonder, after all, in his previous experiences, rather than being proactive in practicing his ideals, he was more passive in everything.
This passive situation seems to be Li Ran's "last resort", but in fact? Li Ran often "asks for it".
How do you say this?
Because Li Ran is actually always sober, and he is different from everyone else in this era after all.
What is "innate" to him is a sense of historical mission.
Therefore, he will never rashly join an organization or become a member of a certain force just because he can get some benefits, let alone believe in a certain belief or creed that cannot be changed.
As a person from the 30th century, it was really difficult for him to do this.
"Sir, I think so highly of me, I feel a little flattered."
Li Ran only smiled, but did not reply directly.
In fact, he could have refused directly.
However, when he thought about what Yi He had just said about his great ambition of "not for one country, but for the whole world", he chose not to comment on it for the time being.
And that thought that he had buried deeply for a long time and seemed to be out of reach - the oath with Zhou Prince Jin, now actually appeared in front of him again.
For Li Ran, this has to be said to be very tempting.
However, before Li Ran fully understood all this, he could not make a hasty decision.
"Haha, sir, there is no need to rush to answer me. In fact... what I said today is just what I was entrusted by others."
Yihe said so in an understatement.
"What? Entrusted by others?"
Although Yihe said it calmly, Li Ran couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it. And couldn't help but asked in surprise:
"But I don't know who entrusted you, sir?"
Just now, Yihe had told him that the four orders of witchcraft, medicine, divination, and music were already an intelligence agency as early as the founding of the Zhou people. Could it be that the person who asked the doctor to approach him was the leader of this organization? Or... their leader?
He was thinking like this, and at this moment, Yi He spoke again. But this time, it really shocked him:
"To be honest, the person I entrust you to invite your Excellency to this time is none other than your Majesty!"
Li Ran's daughter-in-law?
Who is it?
It turns out that Li Ran's father is none other than Li Er!
"Although the Lord is far away in the Qin Kingdom, he is very concerned about every move of the Lord. In addition, the Lord is now highly sought after by powerful people from all over the world, and he has many grievances. I am afraid that you are not even aware of it. , how many enemies are hiding in the dark, trying to kill you!"
"Therefore, I am here to contact you in the name of the Lord. I hope that you can come to Qin to have a talk with the Lord. This is not only for the sake of the relationship between father and son, but also for the sake of your safety!"
Li Er, a legendary figure whose head is never seen.
His existence can be said to have brought about a huge turning point in the entire Chinese civilization.
His five thousand words left a spark for the entire human civilization.
The most outrageous thing is that Li Ran is actually his biological son!
At this moment, Li Ran's head was completely buzzing...
Because he didn't even remember that he actually had a father, and his father was actually the famous originator of Taoism - Lao Tzu.
When Li Ran was still in Luoyi, he always thought that he was just an orphan, or a queen of some noble family.
The reason why he was able to become the prince's companion and hold an official position in the Luoyi Collection Room was all due to his "child prodigy" talent.
He never thought that maybe all this kindness to him would be connected with his father.
Therefore, now that he heard that he was actually my son, even though Li Ran was determined, he couldn't help but feel horrified.
He tried to recall his childhood memories, but found nothing. He only felt extremely strange to his biological father.
Because in his memory, he couldn't remember what his father looked like at all. The only thing he could remember was the "Tao Te Ching" that was regarded as a classic by future generations.
"I didn't expect that I would be my father? It's really out of the ordinary... Then why don't I even have the slightest impression?"
What kind of experience is this?
It's like you have been wandering outside for several years, living a miserable life without enough food and clothing.
Then, suddenly one day, a person comes and tells you that your father is the richest man in the world. It's like a thunderbolt from the clear sky exploding above your head. In the blink of an eye, your life of lying down appears before your eyes. Can you accept it?
Of course, you may really be able to accept it, but Li Ran really can't do it for a while.
Because at this moment, although he said to lie down, the reality did not allow it at all.
In addition, he knew very little about his father, and my "inaction" might not be the path he had been pursuing and exploring, so he still chose to refuse.
"Li has also traveled abroad for many years, and what he wants is something that even my father-in-law may not be able to achieve."
"Since you are the man next to your father, I would like to ask you to return to Qin and pay my respects to Li. Li is unfilial and failed to fulfill his father's wish. I ask for your forgiveness."
"As for the meeting, I still allow Li to think about it."
Li Ran stood up and bowed respectfully to Yi He, as a courtesy to him.
He has his life goals, and I have my life creed. It’s better not to see this face for the time being.
Hearing what Li Ran said, Yi He only looked at Li Ran thoughtfully.
"Well, if that's the case, then I have no choice but to go back and recover first."
"However, as a meeting gift, I can also give you a secret."
After Yihe finished speaking, he still had a calm look on his face.
After Li Ran stood up, he raised his hands and bowed to express his intention to speak.
"Your Excellency, you are currently in the Kingdom of Zheng, and you have married into the Ji family. Please be very careful about the eldest son of the Ji family - Shu Niu."
"Stand up the bull?"
Hearing the sound, even Li Ran couldn't help but be startled again.
He and Shu Niu had already fought against each other regarding the relief work for the country and the poisoning of Zheng Yi. But judging from the current situation, Shu Niu was defeated by the Lu State and took refuge with the Ji family. He was just a lost dog. No matter how capable a person like this is, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to stir up any big troubles, right?
For him, the current Shu Niu can only be regarded as a small opponent at best, not a figure at all.
But who knows, Yihe added another sentence:
"My lord, please don't underestimate this person."
"The head of the family once made some special deductions and concluded that this person is cunning, vicious, and quick-witted. He may become a powerful enemy of you in the future! Therefore, please be cautious at all times."
As soon as these words came out, Li Ran was shocked again.
He didn't expect that a little bull would become so powerful in his father's eyes.
Is it possible that there is something else going on behind this erected bull that he doesn't know about?
But judging from his various poor performances, compared with Ji Sunsu of the Lu State and even Feng Duan of the Zheng State, both in terms of means and status, they are not at the same level at all.
Why does this person become so powerful in the eyes of doctors and doctors?
"Sir, can you make it clearer?"
Li Ran couldn't help but ask.
Unexpectedly, Yihe Wensheng just shook his head.
"Haha, the number of days is constant, and it is all within the Great Evolution. I can only say this and hope that you will take care of yourself."
After that, Yihe stood up and prepared to see off the guests.
When Li Ran saw this, he didn't want to force himself, so he immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, someone suddenly came in outside the door of the post house to report that the commander of the Chinese Army, Mr. Zhao Wu, had invited Li Ran and Yihe to go to his house to talk.
When Yihe heard the sound, he looked at Li Ran, only to see that Li Ran was calm and composed, not surprised at all.
"Huh? It seems that your Excellency has already made arrangements?"
He looked at Li Ran and said.
"Sir, you are worrying too much. This is not Li's arrangement."
"It must be that Dr. Zichan has spoken to Zhao Zhongjun about today's court meeting, so I invite you and I to go together and talk about it."
"Haha, it seems that what Mr. Zhao said in Lingtai Palace today was finally known to Zhao Zhongjun."
Zhao Wu had been ill recently and was unable to take charge, so Han Qi was appointed to take charge of the affairs on his behalf.
He invited Li Ran mostly to discuss the upcoming meeting in Guodi. The invitation to Yihe may be more about the phrase "a good minister is about to die".
After hearing this, Yi He didn't say much, and immediately followed the servant and came to Zhao Wu's house with Li Ran...
In the Zhao Mansion of Jin State, Li Ran also met Zhao Wu, the famous "Zhao Orphan" in history books for the first time.
However, what is very different from the film and television image in his memory is that Zhao Wu now looks like an octogenarian, with a pale complexion and thin cheekbones. However, on the face as dry as firewood, a pair of eyes still showed a sense of righteousness. His eyes were full of energy.
"My subordinate Li Ran has met Zhao Zhongjun."
After Li Ran and Yi He came forward to greet him, Zhao Wuze, who was sitting in the chief position, immediately waved his hand slightly to signal them to get up.
Then, Zhao Wu's eyes only glanced at Li Ran slightly, and then fell directly on Yi He's face.
"May I ask this doctor, who is the 'good minister' in your mouth?"
After Zhao Wu finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Obviously, today Yi He said loudly in Lingtai Palace that "a good minister is about to die, and God cannot protect him." So who are the good ministers of the Jin Kingdom? There must be an explanation for this today.
Could it be an allusion to him, Zhao Wu?
Li Ran turned his attention to Zichan, but saw that Zichan also shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't need to say anything.
So, Li Ran had no choice but to stand aside and wait quietly.
But at this time, Yihe didn't show any panic at all. He just responded calmly when he heard the voice:
"Far away in the horizon, close in front of me, it's you who I'm talking about!"
Yes, the good minister he called was none other than Zhao Wu!
Zhao Wu's expression paused, and his two sword-like eyebrows suddenly twisted slightly.
"Hmph! I follow all the great officials and help the princes together. Our country of Jin has become the leader of the world in the alliance of annihilation of troops. It has lasted for eight years. I think there is no violence and evil in our country of Jin, and the princes of various countries have also Even if we are of the same mind, how can you say that my good minister is about to die and God cannot protect him?"
In fact, Zhao Wu's achievements are not just what he said?
If we want to talk about Zhao Wu's achievements, I'm afraid it won't be possible to finish it in three days and three nights.
From an orphan whose family was almost wiped out, to growing up to be the chief minister of a country, there is no need to talk about the hardships and twists and turns involved?
And now that he has reached this point, how can he describe all his achievements in just two or three sentences?
What if he is such an outstanding person, and God still cannot bless him? Then who else can God bless?
Zhao Wu couldn't understand it, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
