Chapter 42(2/2)
However, in this treacherous era, anyone can become an enemy, and anyone can go from friend to enemy.
After all the events in Qufu, Li Ran is no longer the same Li Ran.
"Ziming is asking questions knowingly."
"You are a smart person. You should know how difficult it is to deal with the Ji family. With the word 'best friend', I am afraid you cannot afford such determination."
"I have come all the way here. As far as the country is concerned, it would be fine if I just wanted to attend the Pingqiu meeting. But what I want to know more about coming here this time is that you, Li Zi, are stirring up trouble in Qufu City.
What exactly is Ming’s intention, and what exactly are his actions?”
After Zichan finished speaking, the courtyard was silent for a moment.
After a while, Li Ran smiled apologetically, looked at him and said:
"The doctor has a sharp eye, I admire him."
"The power of the Ji family is overwhelming in the Lu State, and the influence of the royal family is weak. The death of Prince Ye is just an introduction. What they really want is not a puppet, but the monarchy. However, this is the history of the former Luoyi Keeper's House. If you treat me with courtesy, it will be
This is my duty. Lu is the origin of Zhou Li, but how can we see the Ji family doing such nonsense? If we say that dealing with the Ji family is for the sake of righteousness, why not say that dealing with the Ji family is where the responsibility lies."
"However, I have to disagree with what the doctor said."
As he said that, Li Ran slightly arched his hands towards Zichan.
Zichan said "Oh" and continued to ask:
"But which sentence?"
Just listen to Li Ran continue to reply:
"Although it is my duty to deal with the Ji family, it is also because Ran and Prince Ye are good friends. Although he has the same interests as the former prince, he was unexpectedly plotted by a gangster. However, if he cannot avenge him, I am afraid that in the future
I have no shame to meet him again under the Nine Springs."
The word "friend" may be insignificant in today's troubled times. But to Li Ran, it seems extremely precious.
Zichan nodded when he heard the sound, and said with a touch of joy between his eyebrows:
"I didn't expect that Ziming is also a person with a temperament! Very good, very good..."
Speaking of this, Zichan suddenly changed the topic and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
"But I am still avoiding the question that Qiao just asked."
"Is it true that I assisted the former crown prince, Shusun Bao, just because he wholeheartedly safeguarded Zhou rites, or was it because of the so-called friendship between gentlemen?"
As soon as these words came out, even Li Ran couldn't help but be startled again and tense up.
Looking at the middle-aged man in his early thirties in front of him, he suddenly felt a little more wary.
"What exactly does the doctor want to know? Please state it clearly."
Li Ran looked at him in confusion. Unexpectedly, Zichan just smiled and said nothing.
In a conversation between smart people, just a few looks and expressions can tell everything.
At this moment, Zichan's expression seemed to be telling Li Ran: Don't pretend to be confused.
Li Ran's mind was spinning, and a light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately said in surprise:
