Obviously Li Ran still highly recognized Sun Wu's abilities.
Therefore, Li Ran was not worried about whether he could leave Chu and escape.
That night, after making thorough preparations, Li Ran wrote a letter to Zheng Yi in advance. Let Owl Wing send someone to Yecheng to respond.
After all, Ji Le is pregnant at this moment, and has to go through such a long journey, but it is really a mistake that cannot be missed.
The two compartments were properly arranged, and a wave of tiredness came over him, and he was about to go to bed.
But who knew that at this moment, another uninvited guest came to visit, which suddenly made Li Ran feel tired again.
Who is coming?
The person who came was none other than Guan Cong, who was again used highly by the King of Chu these days.
As mentioned earlier, because Li Ran was no longer trusted in front of the King of Chu, Guan Cong at this time seemed to have once again become a popular person around the King of Chu.
In particular, Guan Cong offered his advice and easily defeated the State of Cai on behalf of the King of Chu. Therefore, the King of Chu now began to seek Guan Cong's opinion on many major matters, and even Wu Ju could not compare with him.
Li Ran couldn't help but feel surprised when Guan Deguan came to visit him rashly. After all, Guan Cong was a bit sensitive when he came to visit him at this time.
Why did this Guan Cong come to visit me late at night?
With many doubts, Li Ran still ordered people to invite Guan Cong in, ordered people to light the lamp again, and arranged to sit down in the hall.
Guan Cong still looked as enigmatic as ever, with a slight smile on his face, which looked very insincere.
But during the exchange of greetings, his words seemed very polite, even with a hint of flattery and respect.
At this time, Li Ran, in order to prevent his absconding plan from being exposed. Therefore, he did not talk to him in vain, and after some probing, he asked directly:
"Why did the unknown doctor come here late at night?"
After hearing the sound, Guan Cong immediately bowed his hands towards Li Ran and said:
"Haha, since Sir is leaving Chu, Guan Cong should come to see him off."
What? Li Ran had just discussed with Sun Wu and Ji Le, but he already knew about it?
Could it be that there was a bug installed in his official residence?
It stands to reason that only Li Ran, Ji Le and Sun Wu knew about this matter, and Ji Le and Sun Wu would never disclose this to the outside world. How could Guan Cong get this information?
"Haha, sir, don't be nervous. I have been practicing astrological divination since I was a child. A few days ago, a general star left the palace. This celestial phenomenon is indicating that a great sage will leave the Chu Kingdom. Looking at this place, in fact, this phenomenon has already happened It has come true. Therefore, Guan Cong has made a decision long ago, and this is definitely not a tip-off from someone close to Mr.
Guan Cong answered Li Ran's doubts, but Li Ran didn't quite believe his answer.
At least when it came to divination, Li Ran was always skeptical.
However, since Guan Cong said so, it seemed that he had nothing to pursue, and judging from Guan Cong's tone, it seemed that he had no intention of telling the King of Chu about this matter.
This made Li Ran feel confused again.
So, he asked bluntly:
"Since the doctor is well versed in divination, he should know that this matter is what he wants and cannot be stopped by the King of Chu and his ministers."
"Doctor, you're not just here to see Ran off tonight, right?"
Ming people don't tell secrets. Now that you are here, why don't you just say what you want to do?
Isn’t it disgusting to have twists and turns and twists and turns?
After Guan Cong listened, he immediately smiled and said:
"Sir, don't be impatient. Just listen and take your time."
After the words fell, Guan Cong stood up, placing one hand on his waist and the other behind his back. His expression instantly became stern, giving people a very fierce feeling.
"I have been doing fortune-telling in the Zhou royal family since I was a child. In the next ten years, I entered Chu. I was appointed as the diviner of Chu at twenty. Now at thirty, I finally have a place."
"Compared with Sir's strategy, this humble trick is nothing to mention."
"However, sir, you may not know something, but in fact, sir and Cong are of the same mind. Now that the first half of Chu's game has been played by sir, how about the second half of the game, for Mr. Cong?"
In the first half of the game, Chu State prospered greatly and was sure to win every battle. Both its reputation and power reached its peak.
This is Li Ran's handiwork.
But Li Ran could also foresee the second half of Chu's game, which was why he chose to leave without saying goodbye.
However, the defeat in the second half of the game that he could foresee was entirely due to the almost perfect first half of the game that he personally created.
"What the doctor said is wrong. When did you and the doctor become like-minded? Why didn't Mr. Li not know?"
Li Ran asked calmly.
When Guan Cong heard this, he only smiled slightly and continued to look at Li Ran calmly and said:
"Didn't the old master tell the young master?"
As soon as these words came out, there was dead silence everywhere.
Even Li Ran was very shocked by this sentence. He could not speak for a long time, his face and eyes were full of disbelief.
It turns out that Guan Cong is also a "Taoist" person!
It turned out to be his father's spy in Chu State!
When I was in the Jin Kingdom, what Yi He said was still vivid in my mind. Most of the people under his father were witch doctors and divination people. Because they traveled around the country all year round, they got a lot of information and interacted with each other. After circulation among them, it became a handle that can check and balance the powerful.
Because they hold these handles, they can naturally prosper in all countries.
However, Li Ran always thought that the members of Daoji were limited to the Central Plains countries. After all, Chu State was a completely different country, a country with completely different national systems and governance methods.
However, when Guan Cong said these words, Li Ran suddenly understood how powerful the forces under his father were!
If Li Ran hadn't known in advance, the concepts and demands of "Taoism" and "Dark Walkers" were completely different.
Otherwise, Li Ran would really mistakenly believe that his father's "Tao discipline" has something to do with the "hidden followers".
Fortunately, Dao Ji and the Dark Walkers are not the same people. Otherwise, if such a huge and formidable underground intelligence organization relied on the "Dark Walkers" to come to the stage, its energy would have been enough to overturn the entire world. It's royal.
"Oh? So you are lurking in the Chu Kingdom on my father's orders?"
After some shock, Li Ran calmed down slightly and continued to ask.
When Guan Cong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and said:
"Cong Nai entered Chu on the orders of the old Pavilion Master and has been lurking for more than ten years in order to help Prince Qiji ascend to the throne!"
"What?"
Li Ran was startled when he heard the sound, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"It turns out that the person who has been advising Prince Qiji behind the scenes is you!"
Why was Prince Qiji able to gain the trust of the King of Chu many times, and why was he able to become Cai Gong smoothly?
It turns out that the person behind this is none other than Guan Cong, whom King Chu has always trusted!
Li Ran was also shocked at this moment, and suddenly remembered that time in Yingdu, when Prince Qiji held a Hongmen Banquet and prepared to kill himself.
"Haha, it's no wonder that there was a confrontation in Yingdu back then. Li once thought, why did the fourth prince make such a nasty move? I'm afraid this was also your handiwork, right?"
At the beginning, Wang Zi Qiji planned to kill Li Ran in his own mansion. No matter how you looked at it, it was never a good idea for Wang Zi Qiji, but Wang Zi Qiji still did it.
In the end, Li Ran not only defeated Prince Qiji's army, but also succeeded in getting King Chu, who was sitting behind the scenes, to come and apologize in person, so that King Chu no longer dared to think about killing Li Ran.
Judging from the final result, Prince Qiji's move can be said to have cost him both his wife and his army.
Li Ran was still curious at the time as to why he would make such a bad move. Today, the answer is obvious.
