Chapter 277,278 A little separation is better than a new marriage
I Won’t Be a King in the Spring and Autumn Period Chapter 277, 278 A Little Goodbye Is Better than a New Marriage
The alliance between Shen and Di was of great importance, and even the King of Chu could not help but be worried.
After all, it was not only the first time for him, Xiong Wei, to have the Central Plains princes come to Chu for an alliance meeting.
In fact, it is an unprecedented first time for the entire world.
After some analysis by Li Ran and Guan Cong, King Chu finally had some confidence.
…
In this way, after a long wait, various countries finally made their statements one after another.
Sure enough, just as Li Ran and Guan Cong had judged, except for the four kingdoms of Lu, Wei, Cao, and Zhu, as well as the two lords of Qi and Jin, all other countries agreed to the alliance's request and immediately set out to apply for the territory.
.(Bo Zhu: means Tong Overlord)
Since Zheng Guo was the closest to Shendi, it was natural that Zheng Guo and his party were the first to arrive.
And Zichan also came to Shendi with the king.
But what Li Ran didn't expect was that Ji Le and Sun Wu were accompanying him!
The two of them actually joined in the fun!
It turned out that Sun Wu had already settled Ye Yi's management team. Therefore, he himself was able to come and join Li Ran.
As for Ji Le, of course it was just because I missed Li Ran too much.
It's no wonder, after all, since the two of them got married, they have been spending less time together and more time apart.
And this time Li Ran stayed in Chu State for such a long time, Ji Le couldn't bear to miss him, so she begged her father Ji Le to agree in advance, so that she could come to Chu State with Dr. Zichan to meet Li Ran.
And Ji Xian also knew in his heart that Li Ran had caused a lot of trouble when he went to Chu State. And as a member of the Ji family, Ji family would inevitably lose face.
Although everyone in the Ji family still has great trust in Li Ran, as the saying goes, three men become tigers, this is not a good thing for the reputation of the Ji family. Therefore, Ji Xian actually also wants to know what Li Ran is.
What plan did Chu State make?
Therefore, from the beginning he was reluctant to part with it, but later he reluctantly agreed. In addition, after all, this trip was going to Chu State with Zichan, and it seemed that there was really nothing to worry about. So this was
He relaxed, played the ritual music and followed the envoys.
Half a year passed in a hurry, and when Ji Le appeared in front of him again, Li Ran felt a little dazed for a moment.
In the past six months, he tried every means to mediate the relationship between the King of Chu and other countries. He was endlessly troubled by conspiracies and all kinds of tricks. This was not only the case for him, but also for the enemies he faced.
But when he saw the sacrificial music again, the remaining warmth in his heart was suddenly awakened, as if after months of continuous rain, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a beam of light and the earth returned to full of vitality.
Because there was nothing else between him and Ji Le except the pure and unyielding love between each other.
"Husband..."
In the Xiangyuan, Ji Le's eyes turned red the moment he saw Li Ran.
She, who had always been lively and energetic, now looked particularly dull. She walked towards Li Ran step by step, and the tears on her face fell to the ground, leaving a bright mark.
"fun!"
And why doesn't Li Ran miss the festival music?
However, because he is now deeply involved in the chaos of the world, his longing has long been drowned by endless conspiracies and intrigues.
But at this time, when the sacrificial music appeared in front of him again, this longing suddenly awakened from the bottom of his heart, surged up, and spread.
The two hugged each other tightly in the fragrant garden. Ji Le's tears wet Li Ran's clothes, but Li Ran didn't realize it and held Ji Le tightly in his arms, with silent love between the two hearts.
The heart beats continuously.
Zichan stood aside and pointed slightly to the outside of the garden, signaling Sun Wu and Chu Dang to follow him and leave early.
And for a while, only the two of them were left in the huge Xiangyuan.
I don't know how much time passed like this. When Ji Le's tears stopped flowing, when the spring light fell on their faces, and when the spring breeze blew slowly from the valley outside Xiangyuan, Li Ran let go.
Have fun.
Ji Le's slightly haggard and thin face still retains the original pure beauty in Li Ran's memory, the kind of pure beauty that is similar to the crystal clear moon. No matter how many years go by, it seems that it will not change in any way.
"Le'er...I..."
"snort!"
Just when Li Ran was about to apologize to Ji Le for not being able to return to Zheng for half a year, Ji Le reached out to wipe away the tears on his face and immediately turned around with a look of "I won't listen if I don't listen."
"No...it's not that my husband deliberately refused to return to Zheng...it's really that he is entangled in so many troubles that he can't escape..."
"Humph! You eat well and sleep soundly here. You live in such a big garden, and there are so many maids to dress you, wash you, and serve you every day. Of course you can't leave."
When a woman is angry, all "suspects" will become evidence.
The most fatal thing is that Li Ran is still unable to refute.
At least his clothes were washed for him by the maid arranged by the King of Chu. This is indeed a fact.
"this……"
"No wonder you don't want to go home here. It seems that you have already made such a plan, right? Huh, if I had known this, why would I still be here!"
As he said this, Ji Le was filled with resentment and pretended to leave.
Li Ran hurriedly caught up to her and grabbed her, then held her tightly in his arms again. No matter how hard Ji Le struggled, he would not let go.
"I'm really sorry, madam..."
"My husband should have written more letters to you..."
Only then did Li Ran realize that he had only written a letter to Ji Le in the past six months. Moreover, that letter was still about the official affairs of the Lu State.
Speaking of which, he was indeed rude first.
"Madam, it doesn't matter if you hit me, scold me, or blame me, but..."
"After all, this is not the Kingdom of Zheng. If Madam plays with her temper, I'm afraid she will suffer a big loss."
Li Ran had to remind Ji Le that after all, even he couldn't "do whatever he wanted" here.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And Ji Le is certainly not a messy person. She eliminated Li Ran like this just to get an apology from Li Ran.
At this moment, his mind was over, and after hearing Li Ran's sincere words, the dissatisfaction in his heart immediately disappeared, and his hands unconsciously hugged Li Ran's neck again.
Under the bright sunshine, the two looked at each other with their eyes full of love, and they could understand each other's thoughts. Their words seemed pale and weak at this moment. Only the longing that had already overflowed in their hearts could prove their love for each other at this moment.
trust.
"Husband..."
"lady……"
…
In the evening, when Ji Le arrived in the Chu Kingdom for the first time, Li Ran couldn't neglect her. He immediately went to "invite" the King of Chu, and under the pretense of the King of Chu's order, he ordered the chef from Xiangyuan to cook a table of authentic Chu cuisine for Ji Le.
Ji Le originally had a wandering temperament and loved to eat, drink and have fun wherever she went. This visit to Chu State was also her first time. Seeing the table full of sumptuous dishes, she was immediately overjoyed and even started drinking with Li Ran.
.
Finally, under the influence of drunkenness, Li Ran helped her back to the bedroom.
The two of them sat on the edge of the bed, Ji Le put his head on Li Ran's shoulder, and held Li Ran's arm tightly with both hands, as if Li Ran would disappear again if he let go.
"Le'er, it's getting late, so you should rest early."
Li Ran originally wanted her to lie down on the collapse and have a good night's rest.
But who would have thought that Ji Le shook his head slightly, stood up forcefully, then took his arm and said:
"Husband! Sit down first. Le'er has something to say to you."
When Li Ran heard the sound, he immediately sat down and looked serious.
Just listen to the festival music and continue:
"Before leaving, my father specifically told me that I must inform you about the recent events in Zheng Yi."
"Brother Ji has been in contact with Feng Duan in recent days, and father also knows that you have been inquiring about their information through Owl Wing. But he was afraid that Owl Wing's inquiry was not thorough enough, so he asked me to bring the information."
"According to the news from merchants in the clan, Brother Ji seems to have made some moves in Lu State and Zheng Yi, and he has implicated many people and a wide range of people. In particular, some astrologers from various countries seem to have something to do with Shu Niu.
connection."
"Oh? Astrologer? What are you trying to find those people?"
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but feel alert again. After all, he, Li Ran, would pay special attention to any information related to the vertical cow. So, he asked.
"Currently, the father is still unknown, but something unusual happened. I think it will not be so simple."
——
Chapter 278_Zi San enters Chu
In fact, Li Ran also got a lot of information from Owl Wings about the movements of the vertical cow.
It's just that Owl Yi is just Li Ran's housekeeper after all. Although he took over the position of the Ji family's head because of Li Ran's relationship outside, he still has a low status after all, and the channels for information are naturally limited.

As the head of the Ji family, Ji Xian's information acquisition channels are also obviously different. Therefore, there are naturally more things that can be found out.
However, even though Ji Xian had already inquired about this, he still could not figure out what the Shu Niu group wanted to do?
"Actually, my husband has heard about this matter."
"The thief who stands up to the cow is still determined to do anything, but if he still wants to do whatever he wants, he can't do it without the help of the Ji family and Feng Duan behind him. And the reason why my husband wants to help the King of Chu attack Zhongli this time is precisely to do this.
Clearly, who are the people hiding behind them?"
"If my husband's expectations are correct, Qingfeng's breakthrough may bring us unexpected gains."
Li Ran was naturally vigilant, but because he was in Chu State at this time, he was unable to help Zheng Yi. He could only focus on how to capture Qing Feng, who was far away in Zhongli.
"Well, it's best for your husband to be on guard. Before Yu Le'er left, his father repeatedly told Le'er that he must be careful in what he does."
Ji Le felt relieved after hearing that Li Ran had already been on guard.
"Okay, I'll just deal with these things myself. Le'er has come to Chu State and has traveled a long distance. She must be tired. She should have a good rest. My husband still has to see Dr. Zichan. There are some
We still need to discuss the matter with him."
After Li Ran made all the arrangements and coaxed Ji Le to go to bed, he got up and left, arriving at Zichan's residence.
"Doctor Zichan, Li Ran would like to see you."
Li Ran knocked three times outside the house, and then called in a low voice.
Zi Chan in the room was also shocked. He originally thought that Li Ran and Ji Le would have to talk to each other after a long separation.
Unexpectedly, Li Ran came looking for her in the middle of the night.
"Oh, Zi Ming, please come in quickly."
When Li Ran heard the sound and entered the room, he skipped all the twists and turns, bowed to Dr. Zichan and said bluntly:
"However, by helping the king of Chu, I accidentally injured the life of Wu Wang Zhufan. However, I cannot escape the blame. I still ask the doctor to punish me."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply towards Zichan.
For Li Ran, this matter was inevitable.
Moreover, it has now become a big stain on his body, and there is nowhere to wash it.
However, whether in front of Yang Yanji or Zi Chan, he never chose to excuse himself.
"Oh, Ziming, what are you talking about? What I said in the letter before was just out of concern and impatience, and it is inevitable that it is exaggerated. Ziming, please don't pay attention..."
In fact, Zichan also understood in his heart that if Li Ran really wanted to help the Chu State, then why would he want to engage in a Chu-Jin marriage or a Shendi alliance?
Li Ran must have many unspeakable secrets when he is in Chu State, so how can everything go smoothly?
Therefore, he hurriedly apologized because the words he said in his letter to Li Ran were indeed too intense.
"Actually, the overseas Chinese, the host country, and the emperor have already discussed this matter. In the battle of Chaoyi, Zhufan would rather die than surrender and achieve a lifetime reputation, but the King of Chu ended up with a bad reputation as a murderer.
"
"This is actually not a good thing for us. If the King of Chu wants to go north to fight for supremacy in the future, it will be enough to make all the countries in the Central Plains share the same hatred."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Once you calm down and analyze these things, you will be able to imagine that everything actually has two sides.
Therefore, as far as Zhufan's death is concerned, although it is a loss, it may not be without benefits.
"As for Ziming's relationship with the countries surnamed Ji, there is no need to rush into it. You can make up for it slowly in the future."
"Now, Heaven wants to fulfill the ambition of the King of Chu. In the future, the Chu Kingdom will definitely be in chaos. By then, perhaps we will be able to achieve Zi Ming's great achievements, who knows!"
Li Ran never thought that Zichan had thought about this matter so thoroughly and profoundly.
Or maybe, you are just trying to excuse him?
In short, he nodded immediately. Then he changed the subject and talked about some of his discoveries in Chu State.
"By the way, Doctor Zichan, in recent days, even though I am in Chu State, I have made some other discoveries!"
"Oh? What's the matter? Zi Ming tell me more quickly."
"If what we expected is true, Qingfeng, who is far away from Zhongli, should be closely connected with the Ji family of Lu and the Hua family of Song, and there must be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind them!"
"Oh? How can you see it?"
Zichan was startled when he heard the sound, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Doctor, please think about it, that Qingfeng was originally from the Qi State, and he fled to Zhongli, but he was reused by the King of Wu and granted him a title in the Zhongli State. If such a ruined person had not been instigated by someone behind him, and if he did not have such a huge power
How can the Ji family of Lu and the Hua family of Song be willing to help him?"
"Furthermore, the King of Chu attacked Zhu Fang City with tens of thousands of people. How could Zhongli, a small country with only Zhu Fang City, be able to hold on for so long? And behind his back, he was willing to spend such a huge price to help him.
, and it is not in the name of a vassal state, which shows that the power behind him is as great as the heaven!"
"And if they are willing to spend such a huge price to help Qingfeng, doesn't it prove that Qingfeng is very important among them?"
"So, if we can win the Qing Feng, maybe we can figure out many of the previously unsolved mysteries."
Li Ran said everything in his mind. After hearing this, Zichan suddenly realized what he was thinking.
"That's it! No wonder Ziming is so anxious to help Chu attack Zhongli."
"Alas, it's clear that I'm wrong again, it's clear that I'm wrong!"
When he understood what Li Ran had done recently in Chu State, he immediately woke up and bowed to Li Ran.
Li Ran hurriedly helped him up and said ashamedly:
"Why is this so great, doctor? I don't dare to accept it."
With that said, he helped Zichan sit down and continued the discussion in this way.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
"What's the matter?"
Zichan couldn't help but look at Li Ran in surprise and asked.
After all, anything that Li Ran could emphasize must be extremely important. Zichan was convinced of this.
"After Zhu Fang's city is broken and Qingfeng is captured, the doctor in Zheng Yi must be alert to the movements in the city, especially those in Feng Duan!"
"If nothing goes wrong and something happens to Qingfeng, Fengduan will most likely take other actions."
In fact, Li Ran's guess is that once something happens to Qingfeng, the people behind him will definitely take action.
Li Ran secretly colluded with the Ji family of Lu State based on Feng Duan, and the Ji family of Lu State had close ties with Qingfeng, so he reminded Zichan to pay attention to Feng Duan.
After all, if Feng Duan is really one of the backers behind Qing Feng, then how can Feng Duan sit still after Qing Feng is captured alive?
"Well, what you said makes sense!"
Zichan immediately understood that as the key to the overall situation, Qingfeng could be said to influence the whole body!
