Now that it has been decided, the Guo Alliance meeting will be held as scheduled.
After another discussion between Li Ran and Zichan, they decided to go back to Zheng State first. On the one hand, he wanted to inform Hanhu about this. On the other hand, Zichan has been away from the country for a long time, and after all, he is worried about the domestic situation.
Therefore, the two of them did not dare to delay and immediately set off back to their country.
On the way back, Zichan thought again and again, and after repeated hesitation, he finally decided to ask Li Ranyan.
"Hey, it seems we can only count on Zi Ming for this alliance."
"What do you mean by this, doctor?"
Li Ran was slightly startled, not understanding what he meant.
Just listen to Zichan continue to say:
"Although I told Zhao Wu that I am the one attending the alliance this time. However, there is still no peace in our country of Zheng. I am afraid that if I leave for too long, many things will happen. "
"So for this alliance, I'm afraid I need you, Ziming, to accompany Dangguo on a trip."
After saying this, Zichan showed a worried look on his face.
Although he is not afraid of the overt methods of Feng Duan, Si Hei and others, after all, these people still have some hidden methods, which is really unavoidable. As a leader, Han Hu is still young and has little experience. If something really happened, it would be difficult to deal with it. Therefore, he naturally cannot leave Zheng Yi for too long at this time.
Li Ran understood this, and upon hearing the sound, he immediately raised his hands and said:
"Promise, I will definitely do my best."
After Zichan explained this, he nodded with peace of mind.
His trust in Li Ran was needless to say. With him accompanying Han Hu on this trip, he had nothing to worry about.
"By the way, doctor, have you ever heard that witchcraft, medicine, divination, and music are actually self-contained organizations? They all seem to call themselves 'order guards', and it is said that their intelligence exchanges are very close?" "
Li Ran thought that Zi Chan was well-informed and must have heard of these people.
Ever since he learned that his biological father was Lao Tzu, he had been thinking about it in his heart.
When it comes to these witches, doctors, divination, and music, he really has no impression at all.
Whether it is various historical books or film and television works, it is unheard of. Moreover, there is no mention of this in the historical records about Laozi himself.
Could it be that the records in the history books are wrong?
"Well, the overseas Chinese have indeed heard of these people."
"However, these people have always liked to play tricks, just to sell their mysterious and mysterious theories to highlight their own importance. In the end, it is just a trail after all, and it cannot be put on the stage."
"Moreover, they travel among countries and sell the information in their hands for personal gain. Such characters are definitely not good things."
"By the way, you suddenly asked about them. Did you hear something from Doctor Qin?"
Zichan frowned slightly and looked at Li Ran and asked.
Li Ran nodded when he heard the sound and repeated what Yi He said to him in the post house. Of course, the part that his father is Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu may be its leader is also omitted.
"That's it. I didn't expect these people to have such backgrounds."
"Huh, it's true. These people talk nicely and talk about 'following the way of heaven and ordering the world', but in fact they are just seeking profit for themselves. In fact, these people don't do anything. Qin Now that Bo trusts these people, it seems that something will happen to Qin sooner or later in the future."
"If these people dare to appear in Zheng State, I will definitely expel them from the country!"
Zichan was not very fond of these people, and his words were full of disdain.
After all, as a minister of a country, he must be aboveboard in his daily conduct. And this group of people are the conspirators hiding in dark corners who are best at manipulating power and stirring up trouble. The difference between the two is too big. It is natural for him to look down on these people.
But after listening to this, Li Ran's eyes revealed a hint of worry.
"That being said, I still think it would be better if we don't mess with these people as much as possible."
"If what the doctor said is true, then the information they have is of unimaginable value."
"Furthermore, these people are integrated with the common people and leaders of various countries. If they use 'God's will' to incite the people and create public opinion, it will be a problem for everyone."
"So, if you don't want to take advantage of these people, you still need to keep a distance from these people in the future."
Not enough success, more than enough failure, I'm afraid it's them who are talking about it.
It's not that Li Ran looks down on this group of people, but their behavior is indeed too dark and not upright enough.
Although he, Li Ran, is also a counselor, he can at least stand in front of others and display his talents and plan layouts. Moreover, there is no intention to frame or flatter others.
However, this group of people colluded in secret, exchanged information for benefits, sold information for benefits, and said they were trying to trick the world, but in fact, I am afraid only they themselves know what is going on.
When Zichan heard this, he didn't refute, he just nodded silently.
…
A few days later, Li Ran finally saw the familiar Zhengyi City Gate again.
Although this trip to Jin failed to complete its original mission, it was still very effective. At least Zhao Wu is in charge this time. Even if Wang Ziwei really has some conspiracy, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to succeed.
After entering the city, he and Zichan had no time to go home and change, so they rushed to Hanhu Mansion as soon as possible.
After Han Hu heard about the situation of the two of them on their mission to the Marquis of Jin, he also knew that it was really not easy for them:
"Hu has long heard of Uncle Qi's name."
"What he said is very reasonable. If we can use this Guo Di League meeting to promote civil strife in Chu, then it is not a bad thing for our country, Zheng."
"In that case, it's better for Uncle Lao Shi to make this trip."
Needless to say, Han Hu had thought this way from the beginning and planned to participate in the alliance before giving birth.
However, Zichan was very hesitant. This makes Han Hu a little strange:
"Uncle Shi? Is there something wrong?"
When Li Ran heard him ask this, he raised his hands and expressed all the worries in his heart, just like what he had said to Li Ran before.
"There is no peace in the country right now. If Qiao Qiao leaves for too long, Qiao is worried that they will be ready to stir up trouble and create chaos."
The "they" Zichan refers to are, of course, Feng Duan and Si Hei.
Now Feng Duan is the nominal father-in-law of Ziwei, and his reputation in Zheng is also growing.
To participate in the alliance, the minimum is one month, and the maximum is one season. If Zichan leaves for too long at this time, wouldn't it give Fengduan a chance to secretly accumulate strength?
"Having said that, but...hey, I, the State of Zheng, have now decided to join the State of Jin. We have also sent an envoy to the State of Jin to persuade the Marquis of Jin not to make an alliance. The tiger is afraid that when the State of Chu becomes angry, it will be detrimental to us."
"Hu is still young. If the prince suddenly attacks me when we are surrounded by the alliance, Hu is worried that if he handles it carelessly, wouldn't it be in vain to bring dust to our country, Zheng?"
Han Hu is still very self-aware. Although he is in charge of the country, when it comes to handling international affairs, his ability and knowledge are far less sophisticated than Zichan.
