Even if Li Ran is as smart as Li Ran, he is not completely able to figure out the behavior of the Dark Walkers.
However, there was one thing he was sure of.
Since the Qingfeng Rebellion was arranged by the Dark Walkers behind the scenes, the reason why Qingfeng went to the Kingdom of Wu must also be their arrangement.
However, what puzzled him was what exactly was the purpose of such a plan by the Dark Walkers?
After all, when Qingfeng was the prime minister of Qi State, he was also one of the seven leaders of the secret society. His influence and power in Qi State are profound.
If the Dark Walkers are really an organization composed of powerful people from all over the world, as Qingfeng himself said, then what is the purpose of the Dark Walkers in driving Qingfeng to the Kingdom of Wu?
Could it be that...just because they have found a more suitable candidate than Qing Feng in Qi State?
"Boy, what do you mean? Behind all of this is actually the arrangement of the Dark Walkers?"
Qingfeng obviously disagreed with Li Ran's speculation.
It's no wonder, after all, he already has an almost paranoid trust and fascination with the Dark Walkers.
Therefore, regarding this statement, his eyes could not help but reveal a hint of disdain.
"Oh? Doctor still doesn't believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it."
If Li Ran initially guessed that the Qingfeng rebellion was the work of secret actors, Qingfeng would still be somewhat believable. If he was asked to flee Wu, Qingfeng would not believe it even if he were beaten to death.
Because these two things, judging from the final results, are two completely opposite logical things.
Expelling Qingfeng from Qi State, Qingfeng's family was ruined and lost everything.
But driving him to go to Wu State eventually made him the king of Zhongli State and made a comeback.
If these two things were really done by secret agents, then for what purpose did they do it?
Could it be that they just wanted Qingfeng to experience the ups and downs?
This completely contradictory approach can be regarded as "absurd".
It was precisely for this reason that Qingfeng scoffed at Li Ran's speculation. He didn't believe that the dark people he was paranoid about would be so bored.
What's more, from its perspective, this is not the usual behavior of the Dark Walkers at all.
"But has the doctor thought about it?"
Li Ran's eyes suddenly turned sharp as he stared at Qing Feng and said:
"Is the reason why you can become the king of Zhongli Kingdom just because of your previous status as Qi Prime Minister?"
Not long after Qingfeng fled to the Kingdom of Wu, he was named the King of Zhongli Kingdom by Zhufan, the then King of Wu.
Why did Zhufan, the king of Wu at that time, do this?
Is it just because Qingfeng was the prime minister of Qi State before, and he wanted to show that Wu State valued talents from other countries? That's why you did it?
Obviously not.
Judging from the subsequent series of events, the existence of Zhongli State was obviously of great benefit to the State of Wu. Whether it is the transportation of strategic materials or his own strategic expansion.
Since then, the state of Wu has become more solid and more confident in its struggle with the state of Chu.
As for Qingfeng's status as a Qi person, it can be said that relying on the original unclear relationship between Qi and Chu, and the fact that Qi is a state with the surname Jiang, it is obvious that Qi people should play this role of mediating. It couldn't be more appropriate.
In addition, although he is no longer the leader of the Dark Walkers, he is still a member of the Dark Walkers. With this status, his role as the king of Zhongli Kingdom is certainly greater than imagined.
Therefore, making Qingfeng the king of Zhongli was a good choice for both Wu and the entire Central Plains.
"Haha, so what if it's true what you said?"
"I have endured humiliation and hardship in the Zhongli Kingdom all these years in order to one day return to the ranks of the Seven Lords!"
Qingfeng's meaning was very clear. It didn't matter to him whether all this was arranged by the secret crowd or not.
Because he did these things in Zhongli Kingdom in order to one day return to the top.
If everything before is true (this chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 324, 325 Being able to be used is also a blessing
As arranged by the Dark Walkers, he might actually enjoy hearing about it even more.
This made Li Ran feel very puzzled for a moment. He couldn't help frowning and looking at Qing Feng and asked:
"Even if you are being used to this extent, you actually don't care?"
"Use? Haha, you are really too young!"
Qing Feng suddenly smiled, his face filled with disdain, and he sneered and said:
"After all, you, Li Ran, are a well-informed and sensible person with insight into people's hearts, but you can actually say such nonsense? Throughout the ages, how many people are recorded in the history books who are not taking advantage of others and doing things for others at the same time? Used?"
"I think Jiang Ziya, the great grandfather who has been reborn for hundreds of years, will be relied upon by King Wen. Isn't this taking advantage of him?"
"Besides, do you dare to say that when you supported the Marquis of Lu in Qufu to ascend the throne, you never thought of using the power of others? Then what happened between you and Han Qi and Yang Tongue of Jin?
"And now that you are in Chu State, aren't you being used by the King of Chu in all these plans?"
"We are all just people with the same destiny? How can we distinguish each other?"
As soon as the words fell, the prison made of stacked stones fell silent. Even Sun Wu couldn't help holding his breath and thinking silently.
There is obviously nothing wrong with what Qing Feng said, and looking at the entire era and the entire world, there is not even any point to refute his statement.
In such a world, people are full of "use" and "being used", and various forces, whether it is a family or a country, are doing everything they can to become stronger and continue their glory. "Use" others in every possible way.
As an underground organization that intersperses between countries, the Dark Walkers are even more happy about this. What's the problem with this?
Isn't this the status quo of this era?
Isn't this a reflection of human nature?
Since everyone is doing this, and the Dark Walkers are doing it as well, what’s the problem?
Moreover, as Qingfeng was a member of the Dark Walkers, the Dark Walkers' use of him could only be called "organizational arrangements" at best.
Li Ran's face was full of disappointment.
Of course he knows what kind of era this is, and he also knows how "crazy" people in this era are in their pursuit of rights.
But when Qingfeng broke through all of this and presented the original appearance of it all before his eyes, the disappointment in his heart was obvious.
He originally had a hint of awe for this era.
However, it seems now that all this cannot escape "human nature" after all.
"So, doctor, do you really think it's worth it?"
After thinking for a long time, Li Ran asked this question.
Now that being exploited has become the norm, what is the cost?
For Yu Qingfeng himself, is such a price really worth it?
"As long as I can return to the ranks of the Seven Lords, it will be worth it!"
Qingfeng gave him the most affirmative answer.
When he said this, his eyes were shining.
"Boy, why do you think I have been active in the Kingdom of Wu for so many years? Is it to return to the Kingdom of Qi? Or is it because I want to become the prime minister of the Kingdom of Wu one day?"
"Haha, of course not!"
"All this is just to return to the ranks of the Seven Lords!"
Perhaps, from the moment Qing Feng left Qi, he spent the rest of his life just moving forward for this purpose.
Regardless of whether he is being used or not, and regardless of whether his personal value is reflected, as long as he can achieve this goal, then everything is worth it in his opinion.

Chapter 325_The secret talents represent the future
What kind of organization is the Dark Walkers, and why is it that Qing Feng, who was already a man with one hand covering the sky in Qi State, is so fascinated by it?
What kind of magical power does it possess that can make powerful people from all over the world flock to it?
Li Ran frowned and looked at Qingfeng, speechless for a moment.
He couldn't help but think about it again, and then continued to ask:
"Doctor, why are you so obsessed with this position?"
In Li Ran's consciousness, there can be such magic power (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 324, 325 Being able to be used is also a blessing
, organizations that make people unable to extricate themselves, usually have only one name - MLM.
And if it is true that dignitaries from various countries are now deeply involved in such a pyramid scheme, the consequences will obviously be extremely terrible.
However, Qingfeng obviously did not agree with Li Ran's view.
Because in his opinion, the Dark Walkers hold the most unique, non-hereditary way of distributing power in the world.
He answered Li Ran in one sentence:
"The Dark Walkers represent the future."
"future?"
Hearing this, Li Ran was stunned on the spot.
There should be no one in the world who knows what the future will look like better than him, right?
What kind of future can the Dark Walkers represent?
Why does it represent the future?
"The Xia and Shang Dynasties had systems, and the Zhou Dynasty established regulations. Since ancient times, people have been divided into equal ranks, and this has always been the case."
"But what the kings of Xia, Shang and Zhou didn't know was that the most unreasonable thing about this system was not the people who made it, but the flaws in the system itself."
"Since ancient times, kings have called destiny, and destiny is like this, so everything in this world belongs to them. Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, whether it can withstand the scrutiny of God's will, it seems that everything in this world can be included in the word " destiny" in."
"The king is the king, and the ministers are the ministers. However, throughout the three dynasties, the king and the ministers were turned upside down, and the superiors and the subordinates turned against each other. How absurd does the destiny of heaven seem to be?"
"And we, the secret followers, specialize in subduing the superior with the yin, controlling the yang with the yin, using reasonable rules and the unreasonable, and controlling the king's way with the human way!"
"The alternation of the old and the new is the eternal truth in this world! Everything new in the world will replace the old, whether it is a system or a dynasty!"
If Qing Feng's words are to be believed, the vision reflected in them is indeed extremely long-term.
Moreover, it is also worthy of careful consideration.
This is very similar to the shocking saying of later generations - do princes and generals have the right to be in peace with each other?
Indeed, no one can stipulate who is destined to be what kind of person he is born.
Isn't the reason why things like "Destiny" are named so that they can control people more easily?
Therefore, a true wise man never accepts destiny.
Ke Qingfeng's words had never been heard by Li Ran from anyone else since he traveled to this era.
Even in Chu State, a country with fierce folk customs and mixed thoughts, he had never heard such an argument.
This is why?
Isn’t Chu the first country to claim the title of king? Aren’t they most disgusted with the so-called Zhou rites and destiny?
No, that's not right.
What Chu State resented was that they did not get the respect they deserved. That's why I tried my best to prove myself, so King Wu of Chu became the king.
In other words, although the Chu State acted against the "mandate of heaven", he lived in the shadow of "mandate of heaven" all the time.
As long as the Zhou royal family and even the Central Plains countries at that time could give Chu the due respect, King Chu Wu would certainly not be so hot-headed that he would directly proclaim himself king despite the disapproval of the world.
Therefore, Chu people's opposition to the destiny is actually false in the final analysis. But what Qing Feng is saying now is that this is truly "going against nature."
Thinking of this, Li Ran suddenly realized that people in this era were obeying the destiny of heaven, even though they were apparently obedient. After all, this flag is the foundation of their ruling class. It is so dazzling that they will never be allowed to oppose it. But actually? There are a lot of people who are obedient and violative.
For example, Qing Feng in front of him, if he hadn't asked for something from him today, Qing Feng would definitely not have said that to him.
And he is definitely not the only one who has this consensus. It is these people who form what is now known as the Dark Walkers.
This group of people should be the people who are most disgusted with the destiny and Zhou rites in this era.
"so……"
"So I am involved in it, so that one day I can become the upright king of a country!"
After talking a lot, when Qingfeng blurted out his final purpose, Li Ran still couldn't help it (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 324, 325 Being able to be used is also a blessing
Somewhat disappointed.
He originally thought that Qingfeng, or the Dark Walkers, could have more ambitious goals, and could even be compared with the wise men of later generations.
However, Qing Feng's words instantly caused his situation to fall into disrepair.
Becoming the legitimate king of a country is his ultimate goal.
How unconventional is this?
"Then you have never thought of using such a huge organization and using these ideas that seem to be incompatible with the current situation to do something unprecedented?"
"Being the king of a country is your goal?"
Li Ran couldn't help but ask.
Qingfeng was startled when he heard the sound and sneered:
"What we want to change is the structure of the entire world. When the world changes, the people in the world will naturally change accordingly. What's the difference?"
"No, you don't want to change the world, you just want to "plunder", or in other words, seize the dominion of this world, that's all!"
Li Ran's answer was sonorous and powerful.
"Humph! It's just a joke. You can say whatever you want. After all, you are still too young. Even if I tell you many things, you won't understand."
At this point, Qingfeng's sophistry seemed to have lost its original rationality.
And Li Ran lost interest in continuing to delve into this topic for a while, because he already understood the purpose of the dark crowd.
A huge organization that runs through the powerful and powerful in various countries, using their own resources to pursue their own interests.
Emptying the monarch's power, or even subverting the monarch's power, allowed them to control the overall situation from a dark corner and become the real talkers in the world.
This is their ultimate goal.
Sure enough, they are people of this era, and their bodies are always imprinted with the most distinctive characteristics of this era.
"But since you have become the king of Zhongli Kingdom, why are you still not satisfied?"
Since he became the king of a country, it stands to reason that Qingfeng should have succeeded.
After all, Zhongli State was also a vassal state of the Zhou royal family. Although its status was not as high as other states, it was still a country that could gain international recognition in name.
However, Qingfeng was still not satisfied.
"Contented? Haha."
"In the final analysis, Zhongli Kingdom is just a chess piece of the Wu Kingdom, and the Wu Kingdom is just a chess piece of the Underworld."
"I became the king of Zhongli Kingdom. To be honest, I just wanted to please them as much as possible. Such a king is like a puppet, how can he be called legitimate?"
Qingfeng obviously wanted more.
In his opinion, the position of king of Zhongli Kingdom was still too limited. He cannot be allowed to do whatever he wants, and he is not the so-called true king of a country.
And when Li Ran heard this, his heart suddenly shook.
As expected, Wu Guo is just a pawn of the Dark Walkers!
Judging from the available information, Lu, Song, Jin, Qi, Wu and even Chu should all have secret followers!
In other words, this world may already be under the control of the Dark Walkers!
horrible.
Li Ran felt a chill on his back for a moment.
Because he had never imagined that there would be such a huge underground organization in this world, and it was already so huge that it was jaw-dropping.
And one can only imagine the energy contained in such an organization.
"No, we must not let them get up!"
Li Ran told himself secretly in his heart.
