Nanzi stared at Wang Sunjia, his eyes looking forward, but also showing a trace of cruelty.
"I know this well, and there is no need for you to remind me of these words! Just do your own thing well!"
When Wang Sunjia saw Nanzi talking like this, his heart trembled, and he quickly said:
"I know I was wrong, and I will comply with Madam's wishes in everything."
Nanzi smiled slightly at this moment and stretched out his hand to caress Wang Sunjia's cheek.
"Then you go down first and send some troops to the official post. Don't let Li Ziming slip away quietly!"
When Wang Sunjia heard this, he immediately smiled and said:
"No! I'll go right away!"
Wang Sunjia left immediately. Nanzi looked at Wang Sunjia's back with a disdainful expression. At the same time, he sat down again, with a smile on his lips, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
…
The news that Li Ran was detained here was soon known to Qu Yuan.
So, Qu Yuan found Li Ran with Duanmuci's help.
Li Ran met Qu Yuan, but he didn't mention a word:
"This junior has met Mr. Boyu. Could it be that Mr. Boyu is here to bid farewell to this junior?"
Qu Yuan said:
"Hey! Why did you say this?! Kong Zhongni once wrote a letter asking me to protect you. Now that you are temporarily staying in our country, how can I just leave?"
Li Ran sighed deliberately and said:
"I see... It's just that Mrs. Wei has always been very polite to Mr. Boyu. In this matter... if Mr. Boyu makes a request on behalf of this junior, it will inevitably cause rifts within your country, which is really not what Li Ran wants. …”
Qu Yuan waved his hand, but immediately interrupted Li Ran's words:
"Sir, what you said is wrong. Madam is indeed respectful to the old man, but how can you be partial to things that concern the world? What's more, if the madam keeps you, this matter is not in line with etiquette and justice, and it is also related to the image of our country. Old old man How can we just stand idly by and watch?”
"Sir, please don't worry. I'm going to see my wife right now and persuade her not to do such stupid things!"
Li Ran said:
"It's just that... this junior has no favors for you. Your Excellency is so helpful and even has a grudge with your wife... I really feel guilty..."
But Qu Yuan spoke righteously:
"Sir, you don't have to be like this... I want to do this unjust thing. If I don't stop it, I will become a doctor!"
Seeing that Qu Yuan wanted to get up, Duanmu Ci immediately stepped forward to help him. Qu Yuan pushed Duanmu Ci away:
"This matter...Ci'er is not allowed to follow!"
After Qu Yuan finished speaking, he straightened his body and walked out. Li Ran sent him to the gate. When Zang Yuan got on the carriage and walked away, Fan Li beside him said:
"Master Boyu is old, but he still has a bit of a temper!"
In fact, as a modest gentleman, Qu Yuan did not have such a hot temper.
Just because he is now dissatisfied with what Nanzi has done.
Therefore, whether it was for personal reasons or for the overall interests of the country, Qu Yuan believed that it was necessary to persuade and beat Nanzi now. Even the monarch's wife was very polite to him.
And now that he can use Li Ran to talk about things, it is also a good use for him.
Not long after, Zang Yuan sent someone to inquire about the mansion where Nanzi was temporarily staying.
Later, Qu Yuan also relied on his old age and went straight there without saying hello. When Nanzi learned that Qu Yuan was coming, he couldn't neglect it. He quickly covered his face and came to the gate to greet him:
"The doctor is old, but why does he have to travel all the way here? If the doctor has something to do, just ask the servants to come and report it. Why should the doctor bother to go there himself?"
Nanzi said while curtsying. Although Qu Yuan was old, he bowed his head and returned the courtesy:
"To be honest with you, Madam, I actually came here specifically for Li Ziming!"
In fact, how could Nanzi not know this? So she immediately replied:
"Oh? Are you here for Mr. Ziming? Xiaojun heard that during Mr. Ziming's trip, there was a person named 'Duanmu Ci', who was the grandson of the doctor. In that case, why didn't the doctor let him come? That's right. You don’t have to make adults work so hard.”
Qu Yuan said:
"Hey... the old minister's grandson is still responsible for Mr. Ziming's safety. So, it's inconvenient to come!"
"But... today I learned a piece of news. It is said that my wife wants to keep Mr. Ziming in Weiguo. Although madam has good intentions, she doesn't know that Mr. Ziming will be in danger if he stays in Weiguo!"
Of course Nanzi understood what Zang Yuan meant, and he only heard her reply calmly:
"Doctor's words are a bit alarmist, aren't they? Mr. Ziming passed through our country of Wei, and now he has been temporarily staying in the official post. There are no Rongdi intrusion around, so how can he be so dangerous?!"
"What's more, the reason why Xiaojun wants to keep Mr. Ziming is because after meeting him once, he felt that he was quite talented, so he wanted to use him to defend our country. This is entirely for the sake of defending our country. For the sake of the country?! Please don’t be suspicious, sir.”
Qu Yuan sighed:
"Although what Madam said makes some sense, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Madam to leave Mr. Ziming here..."
"Not long ago, Mr. Ziming offended Minister Quan of the State of Qi due to his words, and because his assistant Kong Zhongni took away all three of his capitals, many people in the State of Lu were dissatisfied with him. Therefore, if Mr. Ziming had something to do with the State of Wei, Any mistakes made will become the fault of our country!"
"Besides, Mr. Ziming has no intention of staying in Weiguo now. What benefit will it bring to Madam if he is forced to stay here? Madam's move is really a bit ill-considered. Moreover, since he is the Taishi of Zhou Yi, this This is really inappropriate, please Madam, please take it back!"
When Nanzi heard this, she couldn't help but have a headache when facing Zang Yuan.
Although she is also a deviant, she has always been polite when facing a moral role model like Zang Yuan.
After all, what Qu Yuan represented behind him was the group of scholars who defended the country. And they secretly work together to win over the scholars from various countries in this era.
Therefore, even if Qu Yuan was offensive with his words, Nanzi still did not dare to break up with Qu Yuan in public:
"Since the Lord has mentioned this matter, Xiaojun should also obey it. However, no matter what, Xiaojun still wants to fight for the king!"
Hearing this, Qu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.
"this……"
Nanzi said again:
"Your Excellency also knows Li Ran's reputation and ability. If it can be used to defend the country, wouldn't it be a blessing for our country? And this is actually what the monarch wants, so please don't worry about it anymore. , Xiaojun and the king have their own disputes!"
"As for Mr. Ziming's safety, I can guarantee that as long as he is within our country, I will do whatever it takes to keep him safe. Sir, please rest assured!"
Hearing that Nan Zi had already talked about this, Qu Yuan could only smile bitterly and said:
"Since Madam said this, I am speechless..."
So, Qu Yuan kept his head down and resigned to Nanzi.
When he returned to Guanyi, he recounted the conversation between himself and Nanzi, and finally added:
"Based on the current situation, if you want to think about Weiguo, it will no longer be feasible in a short time. Yuan thinks that if you want to, you can stay in Weiguo for the time being. But if you don't want to, you have to wait and see. After a few days, we can leave again."
Li Ran sighed secretly, cupped his hands and replied:
"Master Boyu has worked hard, but you should think about it..."
Then, Qu Yuan glanced at Duanmu Ci, who was standing next to him.
"Old man originally said that he could leave after meeting Ci'er, but he didn't expect that your schedule would be blocked now... But this is also advantageous for me. I can just see Ci'er more and enjoy the family relationship... "
"However, please rest assured, sir, no matter what considerations you make these days, I will be here to ensure that you are thorough, and on this point, I have reached a consensus with you!"
Li Ran bowed deeply:
"Now that I have Lord Lao Boyu, I am very grateful..."
After Qu Yuan finished speaking, he sighed again, shook his head helplessly, and stood up to leave.
When Duanmu Ci saw this, he quickly stepped forward and helped Qu Yuan back to his room to rest.
…
As for Li Ran, after everything was agreed upon, Li Ran went to find Gong Eryue and Liguang.
When Gong Eryue saw Li Ran, she said angrily:
"Hmph! The wife of the King of Wei is very beautiful, isn't she?"
Li Ran was stunned when he heard this and said:
"She can win the favor of Marquis Wei, just by her appearance, she is not bad at all!"
Gong Eryue curled her lips and said:
"Did you have a very happy meeting with her?"
