Zhanghua Terrace, in the palace of the King of Chu.
King Chu stood on the steps outside his palace with a solemn expression, looking up at the setting sun in the west, and the wild geese arranged in a "human" shape flying slowly from the sky and clouds. Above the lonely and empty sky, it seemed as if it was no longer there anymore. There is no room for anything.
"Your Majesty."
Guan Cong walked up slowly from the steps, stopped three steps in front of King Chu, and bowed.
Seeing the arrival of Guan Cong, King Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice:
"how?"
"The fourth prince's soldiers suffered heavy losses, and Li Ran escaped calmly."
In the end, everything that happened in Prince Qiji's home could be summed up in just one sentence.
When King Chu heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. His face suddenly became extremely solemn, his eyes became particularly sharp, and his whole person suddenly revealed a cold aura for no reason.
His good brother actually failed.
He originally thought that with Wang Zi Qiji's ruthlessness, he should be able to easily get rid of Li Ran, a potential henchman of the Chu Kingdom in the future. But the final result was counterproductive. Not only was Li Ran able to escape, but he was also unscathed.
This can't help but make him a little worried.
If even his favorite brother Wang couldn't kill Li Ran, then who in the Chu Kingdom could do it for him?
Could it be said that the huge Chu country could only watch as Li Ran became his enemy as a neighbor in the future?
"Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
He was silent for a while, watching Conghu's way.
King Chu turned his eyes, stared at him and said:
"But there's no harm in talking."
The indifferent and paranoid tone, the dignified but confused look, all showed that at this moment, King Chu really had no other options.
It is at this time that the role of contemplation comes into play.
"Li Ran is well-known outside, and what the Central Plains countries complain about is that he is used by our Chu State. After all, this man was born in Luoyi, a member of the Zhou royal family, and because of his ancestor's kindness, he was appointed as the guardian of the Tibetan Chamber of Commerce. History. The so-called person who is most skilled in the use of etiquette has to be this person. It is even more rare that this person is resourceful and resourceful and has plans to make contributions to the world, so all the kings and ministers of all countries respect him."
"I thought about it again and again, and I feel that if Li Ran really dies in our country of Chu, it would not be a good thing for our country of Chu at this moment."
"I think that at this moment, the king will go to visit him in person. One is to show his courtesy, and the other is to rebuke the fourth prince for his inappropriate behavior. At least he can stabilize Li Ran and the kings of all countries. And wait for Zhu Fangcheng. Damn it, it’s not too late for your Majesty to make plans again.”
The King of Chu is certainly aware of what Prince Qiji did today.
But the King of Chu never showed up from beginning to end. This was indeed unreasonable and would inevitably arouse Li Ran's suspicion.
Zhongli's war is about to begin, and the most taboo thing at this time is to bring trouble to Xiao Qiang. Once there is internal instability, it will inevitably directly affect the morale of the frontline troops.
The meaning of Guan Cong is actually very simple. Prince Qiji failed to kill Li Ran today. From the current overall situation, it is not a good thing, at least it will be beneficial to the upcoming battle with Zhongli.
If King Chu still wants to avoid future troubles in the future, it would be best to wait until Zhongli's matter is resolved before taking action.
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is how to stabilize Li Ran and the armies of various countries on the front line, without giving them any reason to resist.
"Having said that,...does Ziyu think I will have a chance in the future?"
The opportunity that King Chu mentioned was the opportunity to kill Li Ran in the future.
This time when Prince Qiji's action failed, Li Ran would definitely be on guard, and I'm afraid no one in the Chu Kingdom would do this "undue thought" again. Therefore, if you want to borrow another knife to kill Li Ran in the future, I'm afraid it won't be easy.
When Guan Cong heard the sound, he smiled and said very relaxedly:
"Haha, your Majesty, please relax. As long as Li Ran is still in our Chu Kingdom, Your Majesty will have plenty of opportunities."
"To kill Li Ran, you need a suitable time and a reason that no one in the world can refute. This is the right move."
"I think your Majesty, there is no need to act too hastily now."
After Guan Cong's words fell, a trace of thinking appeared on King Chu's melancholy face.
He certainly understood what Guan Cong meant, and he also understood that Guan Cong said that the future would be long.
But he was still a little worried.
After all, he was most worried about a Li Ran who could "strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away".
"Hey, okay. Ziyu, just go with me."
The King of Chu thought for a while, and finally accepted Guan Cong's opinion and went to "visit" Li Ran.
What happened today, if he, the King of Chu, didn't show his face and say a few words, it would definitely be unjustifiable.
So, he walked out of Zhanghua Hall and was about to move to Xiangyuan, but he stopped again after taking only two steps.
"Come, send word that the Fourth Prince is here to see you."
"Let him wait at Houde Hall!"
Since he was visiting Li Ran and performing an "apology" to Li Ran, he had to do a full show. If Wang Zi Qiji did such a thing today, how could he not be "punished"?
When Guan Cong heard the sound, he immediately bowed and said:
"The king is wise."
…
In the fragrant garden, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, and butterflies are flying. The splendid and gorgeous garden is the most loved by festivalgoers.
It seems to be a natural instinct for girls to love flowers.
Li Ran did not tell her what happened in Prince Qiji's mansion today, firstly because he was afraid that she would worry, and secondly because he did not want to involve her.
He picked some flowers, made a garland, and put it on Ji Le's little head. The flowers complemented the beauty, making Ji Le look even more beautiful for a while.
Even Li Ran couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
Seeing his gaze, Ji Le immediately blushed and said coquettishly:
"Husband..."
"Haha, Le'er is still so beautiful and charming."
Li Ran praised from the bottom of his heart.
The next moment, he hugged Ji Le into his arms and whispered:
"Being able to have happy children as a husband must be a blessing gained in the previous life."
Although Ji Le looks carefree, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that she is also very smart.
It has been more than half a year since Li Ran left Zheng Yi. If Ji Le was not in charge of everything about the Ji family in Zheng Yi, the backyard of Zheng State would have been in chaos long ago. How could he be so calm and free to deal with it? These crises in Chu State?
So for Li Ran, Ji Le is his most solid backing. As long as Ji Le is not in danger, he can do whatever he wants without any scruples.
"However, this Chu country is a place of right and wrong after all. Le'er should go back early."
Li Ran thought for a while and finally spoke.
When Ji Le heard this, he immediately broke away from Li Ran's arms, and the air on Xiu's face instantly spread, full of dissatisfaction.
"No! Le'er won't leave!"
"If my husband doesn't leave, Le'er won't leave either!"
When Ji Le came, he had no intention of going back alone.
She kept her mouth shut and didn't give Li Ran any chance to refute.
"Le'er doesn't need to be angry, what I said to my husband is business."
"Hmph! I don't care about what is right or wrong. As long as you don't leave, I won't leave until I die!"
As soon as she heard that Li Ran wanted her to go back, Ji Le's paranoid side came online again. She turned around and ran back into the house without even giving Li Ran a chance to reason out the reason.
Looking at Ji Le's angry back, Li Ran could only stand there in a daze for a moment, sighing helplessly.
