Chapter 324, 325 Being able to be used is also a blessing
I Won’t Be a King in the Spring and Autumn Period Chapter 324, 325 Being able to be used is also a kind of happiness
Even if Li Ran is as smart as Li Ran, he cannot fully comprehend the behavior of the Dark Walkers.
However, there was one thing he was sure of.
Since the Qingfeng Rebellion was arranged by the secret followers behind the scenes, the reason why Qingfeng went to the Kingdom of Wu must also be their arrangement.
However, what puzzled him was what exactly was the purpose of such a plan by the Dark Walkers?
After all, when Qingfeng was the prime minister of Qi State, he was one of the seven leaders of the secret society. His influence and power in Qi State were profound.
If the Dark Walkers are really an organization composed of powerful people from various countries, as Qingfeng himself said, then what is the purpose of the Dark Walkers in driving Qingfeng to the Kingdom of Wu?
Could it be that... just because they have found a more suitable candidate than Qing Feng in Qi State?
"Boy, what do you mean? Behind all of this is actually the arrangement of the Dark Walkers?"
Qingfeng obviously disagreed with Li Ran's speculation.
It's no wonder, after all, he already has an almost paranoid trust and fascination with the Dark Walkers.
Therefore, regarding this statement, his eyes could not help but reveal a hint of disdain.
"Oh? Doctor still doesn't believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it."
If Li Ran initially guessed that the rebellion in Qingfeng was the work of a group of secret agents, Qingfeng would still be able to believe it. But if he was asked to flee Wu, Qingfeng would not believe it even if he were beaten to death.
Because these two things, judging from the final results, are two completely opposite logical things.
Expelling Qingfeng from Qi State, Qingfeng's family was ruined and lost everything.
But driving him to the Kingdom of Wu eventually allowed him to become the king of Zhongli Kingdom and make a comeback.
If these two things were really done by secret agents, then for what purpose did they do it?
Could it be that they just wanted Qingfeng to experience the ups and downs?
This completely contradictory approach can be regarded as "absurd".
It was precisely for this reason that Qingfeng sneered at Li Ran's speculation. He did not believe that the dark people he was paranoid about could be so bored.
What's more, from its perspective, this is not the usual behavior of the Dark Walkers at all.
"But has the doctor thought about it?"
Li Ran's eyes suddenly turned sharp as he stared at Qing Feng and said:
"Is the reason why you can become the king of Zhongli Kingdom just because of your previous status as Qi Xiang?"
Not long after Qingfeng fled to the Kingdom of Wu, he was named the King of Zhongli Kingdom by Zhufan, the then King of Wu.
Why did Zhufan, the king of Wu at that time, do this?
Is it just because Qingfeng was the prime minister of Qi State before and he wanted to show that Wu State attaches great importance to talents from other countries? That's why he did this?
Obviously not.
Judging from the subsequent series of events, the existence of Zhongli State is obviously of great benefit to the State of Wu. Whether it is the transportation of strategic materials or its own strategic expansion.
Since then, the state of Wu has become more solid and more certain in its struggle for supremacy with the state of Chu.
As for Qingfeng's identity as a Qi person, it can be said that relying on the original unclear relationship between Qi and Chu, and the fact that Qi is a country with the surname Jiang, it is obvious that Qi people should play this role of mediating.
It couldn't be more appropriate.
In addition, although he is no longer the leader of the Dark Walkers, he is still a member of the Dark Walkers. With this status, his role as the king of Zhongli Kingdom is certainly greater than imagined.
Therefore, making Qingfeng the king of Zhongli was a good choice for both Wu and the entire Central Plains.
"Haha, so what if it's really what you said?"
"I have endured humiliation and hardship in Zhongli Kingdom all these years in order to one day return to the ranks of the Seven Lords!"
Qingfeng's meaning was very clear. It didn't matter to him whether all this was arranged by the secret agents or not.
Because he did these things in Zhongli Kingdom in order to one day return to the top.
If all the previous events were really arranged by the Dark Walkers, then he might actually enjoy hearing about it even more.
This made Li Ran feel very puzzled for a moment. He couldn't help frowning and looking at Qing Feng and asked:
"Even if you are being used to this extent, you actually don't care?"
"Use? Haha, you are really too young!"
Qing Feng suddenly smiled, his face filled with disdain, and he sneered and said:
"After all, you, Li Ran, are a well-informed and sensible person, and you have an insight into people's hearts. How can you actually say such nonsense? Throughout the ages, how many people are recorded in history books who are not taking advantage of others and doing things for others at the same time?
Used?"
"I want to resurrect Jiang Ziya, the great grandfather who has been around for a hundred years, and who King Wen depends on. Isn't this taking advantage of him?"
"Besides, do you dare to say that when you supported the Marquis of Lu in Qufu to ascend the throne, you never thought of using the power of others? Then what happened between you and Han Qi and Yang Tongue of Jin?
"And now that you are in the Chu Kingdom, aren't you being used by the King of Chu in all these plans?"
"We are all just people with the same destiny? How can we distinguish each other?"
As soon as the words fell, the prison made of stacked stones fell silent. Even Sun Wu couldn't help but hold his breath and began to think silently.
There is obviously nothing wrong with what Qing Feng said, and looking at the entire era and the entire world, there is not even any point to refute his statement.
In such a world, people are full of "use" and "being used", and various forces, whether it is a family or a country, are doing everything they can to become stronger and continue their glory.
"Use" others in every possible way.
As an underground organization that intersperses between countries, the Dark Walkers are even more happy about this. What's the problem with this?
Isn’t this the status quo of this era?
Isn't this a reflection of human nature?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since everyone is doing this, and the Dark Walkers are doing the same, what’s the problem?
Moreover, as Qingfeng is a member of the Dark Walkers, the Dark Walkers' use of him can only be called "organizational arrangements" at best.
Li Ran's face was full of disappointment.
Of course he knows what kind of era this is, and he also knows how "crazy" people in this era are in their pursuit of rights.
But when Qingfeng broke through all of this and presented the original appearance of it all before his eyes, the disappointment in his heart was obvious.
He originally had a hint of awe for this era.
However, now it seems that all this cannot escape "human nature".
"So, do you really think it's worth it, doctor?"
After thinking for a long time, Li Ran asked this question.
Now that being exploited has become the norm, what is the cost?
For Yu Qingfeng himself, is such a price really worth it?
"As long as I can return to the ranks of the Seven Lords, it will be worth it!"
Qingfeng gave him the most affirmative answer.
When he said this, his eyes were shining.
"Boy, why do you think I have been active in the Kingdom of Wu for so many years? Is it to return to the Kingdom of Qi? Or is it because I want to become the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Wu one day?"
"Haha, of course not!"
"All this is just to return to the ranks of the Seven Lords!"
Perhaps, from the moment Qing Feng left Qi, he spent the rest of his life just moving forward for this purpose.
Regardless of whether he is used or not, and regardless of whether his personal value is reflected, as long as he can achieve this goal, then everything is worth it in his opinion.

Chapter 325_The secret talents represent the future
What kind of organization is the Dark Walkers, and why is it that Qing Feng, who was already a man with one hand covering the sky in Qi State, is still so fascinated by it?
What kind of magical power does it possess that can make the powerful and powerful people from all over the world flock to it?
Li Ran frowned and looked at Qingfeng, speechless for a moment.
He couldn't help but think about it again, and then continued to ask:
"Doctor, why are you so obsessed with this position?"
In Li Ran's mind, organizations with such magical power that make people unable to extricate themselves usually have only one name - MLM.
And if it is true that dignitaries from various countries are now deeply involved in such a pyramid scheme, the consequences will obviously be extremely terrible.
However, Qingfeng obviously did not agree with Li Ran's view.
Because in his opinion, the Dark Walkers hold the most unique, non-hereditary way of distributing power in the world.
He answered Li Ran in one sentence:
"The secret talents represent the future."
"future?"
Hearing this, Li Ran was stunned on the spot.
There should be no one in the world who knows what the future will look like better than him, right?
What kind of future can the Dark Walkers represent?
Why does it represent the future?
"The Xia and Shang Dynasties had systems, and the Zhou Dynasty established canons. Since ancient times, people have been divided into hierarchies, and this has always been the case."
"But what the kings of Xia, Shang and Zhou didn't know was that the most unreasonable thing about this system was not the people who made it, but the flaws in the system itself."
"Since ancient times, kings have called destiny, and destiny is like this, so everything in this world belongs to them. No matter whether it is reasonable or not, no matter whether it can withstand the scrutiny of God's will, it seems that everything in this world can be included in the word 'destiny'
in."
"The king is the king, and the ministers are the ministers. However, throughout the three dynasties, the king and the ministers were turned upside down, and the superiors and the subordinates turned against each other. How absurd does the destiny of heaven seem to be?"
"And we, the secret agents, specialize in controlling the lower than the higher, using yin to control yang, using reasonable rules to control the unreasonable, and using humane ways to control the royal way!"
"The alternation of the old and the new is the eternal truth in this world! Everything new in the world will replace the old, whether it is a system or a dynasty!"
If Qing Feng's words are to be believed, the vision they reflect is indeed extremely long-term.
Moreover, it is also worthy of careful consideration.
This is very similar to the shocking saying of later generations - Is it possible for princes and generals to have peace with each other?
Indeed, no one can dictate who is destined to be what kind of person he or she is born.
Isn't the reason why things like "Destiny" are named so that they can control people more easily?
Therefore, a truly wise man never accepts destiny.
Ke Qingfeng's words, since he traveled to this era, Li Ran has never heard similar remarks from other people.
Even in Chu State, a country with fierce folk customs and mixed thoughts, he had never heard such an argument.
This is why?
Wasn't Chu the first country to claim the title of king? Aren't they the most disgusted with the so-called Zhou rites and destiny?
No, that's not right.
What the Chu State was disgusted with was that they did not get the respect they deserved. That's why they tried their best to prove themselves, so King Wu of Chu became king.
In other words, although Chu State acted against the "mandate of heaven", he lived in the shadow of "mandate of heaven" all the time.
As long as the Zhou royal family and even the Central Plains countries at that time could give Chu the due respect, I think King Wu of Chu would not have been so hot-headed that he directly proclaimed himself king despite the disapproval of the world.
Therefore, the Chu people's opposition to the destiny is actually false in the final analysis. But what Qingfeng said now is the real "acting against heaven".
Thinking of this, Li Ran suddenly realized that although the people of this era were obviously obeying the destiny of heaven, after all, this flag was the foundation of their ruling class. It was so dazzling that they would never be allowed to oppose it.
.But what’s the reality? There are a lot of people who are obedient to the situation.
For example, Qing Feng in front of him, if he hadn't asked for something from him today, Qing Feng would definitely not have said that to him.
And he is definitely not the only person who has this consensus. It is these people who form what is now known as the Dark Walkers.
This group of people should be the people who are most disgusted with the destiny and Zhou rites in this era.
"so……"
"So I am involved in it, so that one day I can become the upright king of a country!"
After talking a lot, when Qingfeng blurted out his final goal, Li Ran couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
He originally thought that Qingfeng, or the Dark Walkers, could have more ambitious goals, and could even be compared with the wise men of later generations.
However, Qing Feng's words instantly caused his situation to fall to the bottom.
Becoming the legitimate king of a country is his ultimate goal.
How unconventional is this?
"Then you have never thought of using such a huge organization and using these ideas that seem to be incompatible with the current situation to do something unprecedented?"
"Becoming the king of a country is your goal?"
Li Ran couldn't help but ask.
Qingfeng was startled when he heard the sound and sneered:
"What we want to change is the structure of the entire world. When the world changes, the people in the world will naturally change accordingly. What's the difference?"
"No, you don't want to change the world, you just want to 'plunder', or in other words, seize the dominion of this world, that's all!"
Li Ran's answer was sonorous and powerful.
"Humph! It's just a joke. You can say whatever you want. After all, you are still too young. Even if I tell you many things, you won't understand."
At this point, Qingfeng's sophistry seems to have lost its original rationality.
And Li Ran lost interest in continuing to delve into this topic for a while, because he already understood the purpose of the secret followers.
A huge organization that runs through the rich and powerful in various countries, using their own resources to pursue their own interests.
Emptying the monarch's power or even subverting it allowed them to control the overall situation from a dark corner and become the real talkers in the world.
This is their ultimate goal.
Sure enough, they are people of this era, and their bodies are always imprinted with the most distinctive characteristics of this era.
"But since you have become the king of Zhongli Kingdom, why are you still not satisfied?"
Since he became the king of a country, it stands to reason that Qingfeng should have succeeded.
After all, Zhongli State was also a vassal state of the Zhou royal family. Although its status was not as high as that of other states, it was still a country that could gain international recognition in name.
However, Qingfeng was still not satisfied.
"Contented? Haha."
"In the final analysis, Zhongli State is just a chess piece of the Wu State, and the Wu State is just a chess piece of the underworld."
1200kswt
"I became the king of Zhongli Kingdom. To be honest, I just wanted to please them as much as possible. Such a king is like a puppet, how can he be called legitimate?"
Qingfeng obviously wanted more.
In his opinion, the position of the king of Zhongli Kingdom is still too limited. It does not allow him to do whatever he wants, and he is not the so-called true king of a country.
When Li Ran heard this, his mind was suddenly shaken.
As expected, Wu State is just a pawn of the Dark Walkers!
So judging from the available information, Lu, Song, Jin, Qi, Wu and even Chu should all have secret followers!
In other words, this world may already be under the control of the Dark Walkers!
horrible.
Li Ran felt a little chill on his back for a moment.
Because he had never imagined that there would be such a huge underground organization in this world, and it was already so huge that it was jaw-dropping.
And one can only imagine the energy contained in such an organization.
