The prince traveled thousands of miles to the state of Zheng to marry Feng Duan's daughter, but unexpectedly he was stopped halfway by Li Ran.
Once this news reached Zheng Yi, there was no doubt that Feng Duan was anxious again.
He never expected that Li Ran would encounter this?!
"Brother, didn't you say you had made arrangements? Is this what you arranged?"
According to the original plan, Wang Ziwei should enter the city today and take action at night, so as to avenge his past humiliation and change the owner of Zheng State. From then on, Feng Duan and his party can firmly control Zheng State in their hands.
Just like the Nishinomiya disaster back then.
But now, the prince is intercepted by Li Ran on the way, wouldn't this matter be in vain again?
When Feng Duan discussed with him before, he said that this matter would definitely happen. Moreover, by the way, Li Ran could also be solved.
But who would have thought that before this matter even started, it would be stopped halfway by Li Ran. How could this be fun?
"Brother, what's the use of talking about this now?"
"I have long wanted to get rid of Li Ran because he has been ignorant of good and evil. However, this person has an overseas Chinese as a guarantor, and he is surrounded by many masters now, so he cannot act rashly."
"So, when I invited the prince of Chu State to come to Zheng State this time, I thought that I could get rid of the overseas Chinese and this bastard once and for all. But who could have expected that this bastard would interfere in advance! Damn it! It's true.
hateful!"
Feng Duan shot several cases at once, and seemed very anxious at this time. After all, if Wang Ziwei could not enter the city today, then their subsequent plans would lose everything. And this, to them, was nothing more than a failure before they even started.
Declare failure.
"In my opinion, we might as well do it now!"
"No matter how many people Zichan has under his command, with the combined forces of you and me, plus the prince's troops surrounding the city, are we still afraid that we won't be able to capture the city of Zhengyi?"
Si Hei thought about it and couldn't help but feel evil and bold:
Now that everything is ready, now that the arrow is on the string, what are you waiting for?
If you don’t do one thing and don’t stop doing the other thing, you can do it!
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
Unexpectedly, Toyodan directly rejected his proposal without even thinking about it.
"Why?!"
Si Hei looked at him confused.
"The city of Zhengyi is well-defended. If it cannot be conquered from the inside, it will definitely be insurmountable with just the two thousand men and horses brought by Wang Ziwei."
"Although you and I, with our combined forces, can compete with the overseas Chinese and Han Hu, how can the other ministers and ministers just sit back and watch? If we can't make a quick decision, those ministers and ministers will be just helpless people!
They will definitely fall to the side of Guoqiao and Hanhu. How can we cooperate with the prince at that time?"
"Furthermore, have you forgotten Jishi? They have great influence in the city, and the people in the city now regard Jishi as their savior. And now Jishi must be on the side of the overseas Chinese. Therefore, once there is an internal uprising in the city,
If we fight, our situation will be very dangerous."
Now that Wang Ziwei was intercepted outside the city for no reason, they were causing trouble in the city with less than a 30% chance of winning. How could he take such a risk?
After all, this is a matter that concerns the life of the entire clan. Even if he is really ready to give it a go, he must be cautious.
"Then...according to what you say, we can only sit back and wait for death?"
Si Hei's worries were indeed justified. Li Ran's sudden attack to intercept the prince in the middle of the road was already a very dangerous signal in their eyes.
If what they had planned had not been leaked, how could it have turned out like this?
Therefore, if we don't take action at this time, are we really going to wait for Zichan and others to come and pick him up?
"Just wait a little longer. Even if this matter fails, the overseas Chinese will not have direct evidence to arrest us."
Toyodaan raised his head and looked outside the city, his eyes momentarily worried.
At this point, he had no better solution. After all, if he sent someone out of the city to negotiate with Wang Ziwei, there would be no doubt that there would be no three hundred taels of silver here.
"hold on?"
"Haha, the overseas Chinese are already making arrangements to defend the city, and all the soldiers in the city are at his disposal. He can continue to wait, but what about us? What are we waiting for? Are we waiting to be slaughtered?!"
Si Hei never expected that a game that was supposed to be a sure win would come to this point.
The most annoying thing is that this originally seamless plan was aborted just because Li Ran interfered with it.
He didn't even have a chance to take action, so how could he talk about controlling Zheng Yi and stealing the country's self-respect?
…
At the same time, in the Jishi Manor, which is only half a day's journey from Zhengyi.
After having had enough wine and food, according to the habits of nobles from all over the world, it was time for the entertainment to begin.
If it is the vassal states of the Zhou State, logically speaking, reciting poems and quoting poems is the most common. On the one hand, reciting poems and quoting poems is the best way to express "friendship". Moreover, often when reciting poems,
There will also be unexpected effects.
For example, when Jin Gongzi Chong'er went into exile in Qin, the entire negotiation process with Qin Mugong was expressed in "poetry". This was also the most talked about at the time.
It's a pity that Wang Ziwei, a native of Chu, and a group of Chu disciples, how can they be Li Ran's opponents when it comes to discussing "poetry"?
Of course, Li Ran would not embarrass them too much, so he simply led Wang Ziwei to the newly built golf course behind the manor.
He picked up a homemade driver club and handed it to Wang Ziwei. Wang Ziwei played with the club and asked in surprise:
"What is this?"
"This is a club."
"Oh? Club?"
Wang Ziwei was also confused. So Li Ran patiently explained to him how to play golf.
Ziwei had never seen such a novel entertainment program before, so he became interested as soon as he heard it.
The reason why golf has been praised by the upper class in later generations is inseparable from its own "luxury and luxury" temperament.
As the saying goes, although Wang Ziwei is an ancient person, he is still a noble son of the Chu Kingdom, and he is a "luxurious" person, so it is normal for him to be obsessed with this kind of show all of a sudden.
As a result, the two people who originally had their own thoughts formed an indissoluble bond because of golf.
At first, Wang Ziwei was not good at this. After all, it was the first time he tried it and he couldn't even swing the ball.
But who knew that Wang Ziwei was also a capable person. After only a few rounds of batting practice, Wang Ziwei became more and more familiar with the control of club strength and gestures.
Even Li Ran, the "inventor", couldn't help but look stunned.
"Lord Ling Yin can be said to be a god. He has achieved such a level with just a little practice. He is really powerful, he is really powerful."
Li Ran said he admired him, but he said in his heart: A noble is a noble, and he really has a unique talent for playing this game.
"Haha, it's all thanks to Professor Ziming's skill. Come on, let's continue the fight!"
Wang Ziwei was in high spirits and did not give Li Ran a chance to rest. He pulled him and started the competition on the next hole.
But Li Ran got excited at this time, thinking that he, an inventor and creator, could not beat you, a monk who has become a monk on the way? I don't believe it!
Li Ran rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the club and rubbed his hands hard...
On the golf course, the two figures were seen walking one behind the other, making sounds of admiration and applause from time to time.
Unconsciously, the setting sun in the distance began to fall, and the last afterglow burned the sky red. A line of flying birds left no trace, only a few chirps lingering in the sky.
What a wonderful time of late spring, I can’t help but feel intoxicated.
