Prince Tu and Li Ran were talking, but Chu Dang suddenly stopped the carriage and said:
"Sir, we have arrived in Zishui!"
Li Ran opened the curtain and saw a river at the foot of the mountain next to it.
And this river is Zishui.
Seeing that the water in Zishui River was rushing rapidly, the side roads and the circumferential roads along the river were now somewhat bumpy, as if someone had just turned over the ruts, which was extremely unusual.
Li Ran didn't dare to neglect, and even suggested that Prince Tu get out of the car and walk.
Although Prince Tu was extremely puzzled by this, he still did it.
When Tian Qi saw this situation, he had no choice but to get out of the car and follow him. He hurried to Prince Tu's side and asked:
"Why did Your Highness want to get out of the car and walk?"
Li Ran laughed.
"It's really boring to sit in the car all the time. But now we can take a walk along the river to nourish our mind!"
Since Prince Tu was also walking on foot, Tian Qi naturally had no choice but to stay by his side.
After walking a few steps, suddenly, I saw the carriage driven by Chu Dang. The horses slipped under their feet, and the ruts here were surprisingly shallow. The carriage turned over and fell directly towards Zishui. Go down!
Fortunately, Chu Dang was reminded by Li Ran, and because he was extremely powerful, he jumped up from the carriage and lay on the curb, so he didn't fall down with him!
Chu Dang was pulled up by some soldiers. Li Ran looked around and found that the hooves of the horses on the other carriages were all tied with white cloth. The linen cloth had been printed and dyed in the mud, and it was impossible to tell if you didn't look closely. !
Li Ran looked at Tian Qi, who looked calm and said calmly:
"Ah! It's so dangerous! It's so dangerous! This road is usually safe and sound, but today I never thought it would almost lead to a disaster!"
Prince Tu couldn't help but said:
"If I had been in this chariot just now..."
Tian Qi said:
"Haha, the prince is a noble man and has his own destiny. If the prince is in the car, I am afraid that the other carriages will be unlucky."
Hearing Tian Qi's strong words, Li Ran still held back and said:
"It seems that walking is the safest option. This section of the road is muddy and difficult to walk on. Let everyone get out of the car and drive slowly to avoid making the same mistake again!"
Tian Qi looked back at Taizi Tu, who also nodded.
So, Tian Qi gave the order, and with a wave of his hand, everyone got off the carriage and walked together on foot.
After walking for a while and crossing Zishui, Prince Tu could no longer walk. Li Ran looked around, but still felt a little uneasy, so he said:
"I also invite Mr. Tian to go to the chariot with me. The prince's chariot has fallen into the river before..."
After Tian Qi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he could only agree.
There was nothing he could do about this situation.
There is no doubt that the game he carefully arranged was broken by Li Ran again, and the hatred in his heart was naturally even greater.
…
That night
Everyone checked into Guanyi again, because they had traveled all the way that day and had nothing to eat. So I just had my meal in the evening.
One of the dishes turned out to be mushrooms, which made Li Ran suddenly wary.
He looked at the thick soup in front of him and asked casually:
"Qi State is located in the north. Do they also eat mushrooms? But I don't know why they eat mushrooms?"
Tian Qi laughed.
"The most beautiful thing is the Yueluo mushroom! It just so happens that in this post there is a man from Dongping Township of Yue State, who is good at eating mushrooms. The mushrooms are delicious, but because they are poisonous, they usually It can be said to be a rare commodity! However, this thing is very common in the land of Yueluo."
"This is a rare opportunity, so please give it a try, Your Majesty. The taste, even the smell, is refreshing!"
Li Ran smiled faintly:
"Then... Mr. Tian, please give it a try first..."
When Tian Qi heard this, he looked calm. He picked up a piece of fungus, put it into his mouth, chewed it, and praised it profusely:
"It's delicious, it's delicious! Your Highness, you should try it too!"
Prince Tu also smelled the fragrance and saw that Tian Qi had already eaten, so he was ready to pick up a piece and eat it, nodding his head and saying:
"Yeah! It's delicious, it's really delicious."
Prince Tu wanted to eat more, but Li Ran stopped him and shook his head at him.
Prince Tu was alert, so he ate the barbecue next to him. Tian Qi smiled and said:
"Your Highness, don't you want to try any more?"
Prince Tu waved his hand and said:
"No, I actually prefer meat."
Tian Qi said:
"Your Highness, you can try this soup again. It's even more delicious. It's a rare delicacy."
Prince Tu glanced at Li Ran, but Li Ran still hinted that he shouldn't drink.
Afterwards, I heard Prince Tu politely decline:
"Haha, it still doesn't work. I really can't get used to eating these things. Moreover, I feel that this meat soup is a delicacy, but it overshadows its own aroma. I still prefer the original taste of the meat soup. !”
Tian Qi heard the hidden meaning of the prince's words, but he just pretended not to know, and then turned to look at Li Ran.
"Eh? Why doesn't Mr. Taishi move his chopsticks?"
Li Ran also shook his head and said:
"Haha, I have spent some time in Chu State. I also ate this food at the celebration banquet of King Chu Ling in Zhu Fang City in Zhongli. However, I am really not used to this food. So please don’t blame me, sir!”
When Tian Qi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Hey...it's such a delicious food that Master Taishi doesn't even want to try it. It's a pity, it's a pity!"
When Li Ran heard this, he secretly said in his heart:
"Hmph! If you really dare to eat it, you old fox, I would like to see how you behave like you have a red umbrella and a white pole, and you lie down on the board after eating!"
Although Prince Tu was young and curious and wanted to eat it, seeing that Li Ran didn't even taste a bite and gave him frequent looks, he didn't dare to eat anymore.
After having dinner like this, they all dispersed.
Li Ran was also worried that Prince Tu would have some reaction after eating the piece of fungus, so he hurriedly sent him to the house.
As soon as Prince Tu entered the room, he shrank back and shouted:
"who?"
Li Ran was confused:
"Who?"
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Li Ran felt strange that Prince Tu actually pulled out his sword with a "clunk" sound, and stabbed the sword directly into the void.
This time, Li Ran was really shocked.
"Who is it?! You little thief! How dare you assassinate me!"
Li Ran suddenly remembered that Prince Tu had probably been poisoned and had hallucinations.
Without saying a word, Li Ran immediately ordered someone to call a doctor, but he kept controlling Prince Tu, tied him up directly, and laid him down on the collapse.
Prince Tu was lying on the couch, but he kept chattering.
It wasn't until the doctor applied acupuncture that Prince Tu slowly calmed down.
This fuss made Li Ran very busy. After the situation on Prince Tu's side stabilized slightly, Li Ran summoned Prince Tu's personal guards and asked them not to leave the bed.
Then Li Rancai returned to his room, glanced at Tian Qi's door, and thought to himself:
"He also ate a piece himself. It seems that his condition is not much different from that of Prince Tu!"
For a moment, he just felt that all this was too absurd.
This Tian Qi is really ruthless. In order to lure everyone into being fooled, he actually dares to test the poison with himself!
Moreover, his skills are indeed very powerful. Speaking of which, he did not poison the food, but only tampered with the ingredients.
If the matter is completed, he can completely shift the responsibility to the cook from Vietnam.
After all, he ate it himself, so he could completely get rid of this matter!
…
By the time Fan Li returned, it was already midnight again. Fan Li said that the letter had been circulated.
Li Ran said:
"Well...it seems that we have to be careful in the next few days. This Tian Qi will definitely not let it go!"
Hearing this, Fan Li suddenly became thoughtful and couldn't help but say:
"By the way, another thing happened today! The group of private soldiers who followed us before are ready to move there today! It seems that they originally wanted to rush to the front, but they were sent several times by Tian Qi Someone stopped me! I don’t know who is leading the private soldiers, but he actually disagrees with Tian Qi?”
Li Ran paused for a moment, then suddenly thought:
"Well, it seems that it must be Shu Niu! Shu Niu has been following Tian Qi from Jin to Qi. This Shu Niu wants to kill me, so he must be a little anxious, so he is ready to make a move there! But Tian Qi seems to have other plans, so he refuses!"
