Chapter 328: Everyone has different ambitions in life
I Won’t Be a King in the Spring and Autumn Period Chapter 328: Everyone has different ambitions in life
Now when I think back to what happened, everything seems to be in order.
First, the Ji family desperately pursued Li Ran. From Qufu to Zhengyi, the Ji family almost used all the resources at its disposal to carry out a series of pursuits against Li Ran.
But when Li Ran arrived in Zhengyi, the people he fought with suddenly became Shu Niu, Feng Duan and others.
Although the methods they used were different from Ji's, the ultimate goal they wanted to achieve was surprisingly the same.
And this can exactly explain why Shu Niuhui took the lead in persuading Ji Xian to transport grain to Weiguo for sale before Li Ran came to Zhengyi.
Because the fact that Li Ran helped Yang Yangui persuade the Marquis of Qi had long been reported from the secret agents in Qi, and coupled with the news from Ji Sun Yiru's place, these people were already prepared.
.
Li Ran thought this incident was an error before, but now it seems that it was all a premeditated trap.
Later, when Qi's food and grass were robbed, they deliberately put the blame on Yang Yangui and Li Ran. The reason for this is completely logical.
As for the subsequent overt and covert fights between him and Shu Niu, in addition to the personal grudge between Li Ran and Shu Niu, naturally they also included the will of the secret followers - the new policy of encirclement and suppression of Zichan.
However, Shu Niu lost a game first, and the poisoning in Zhengyi was finally foiled by Li Ran. These people had to temporarily give up the siege against Zichan's New Deal.
These are the two more overt encounters between Li Ran and the Dark Walkers so far. From Qufu to Zhengyi, the power used by the Dark Walkers is not insignificant, and the plots they devise are not without subtlety.
However, judging from the process of these two battles, it seems that the dark crowd did not attach much importance to Li Ran, a small "client" who only hung out among the powerful officials of various countries.
Therefore, every time they just wanted to use the extremely simple, crude and effective method of assassination to end Li Ran's life hastily. Even in Zhengyi, they still used the same method.
However, they also completely underestimated the defensive strength around Li Ran, as well as what they didn't know yet, his father with great powers.
Thinking of this, Li Ran couldn't help but think of what Yi He said back then. It seems that, just as what Yi He said back then, if his father hadn't been protecting him secretly, he would have been afraid of his life.
I no longer know where the explanation is.
After understanding this, Li Ran suddenly felt a sense of respect for his husband, whom he seemed to have never met before.
Not only because of the family ties connected by blood, but also because of his ability to truly plan things thousands of miles away.
"gentlemen?"
Seeing that Li Ran hadn't spoken for a long time, Sun Wu couldn't help but shout tentatively.
Li Ran came back to his senses, glanced across Sun Wu's face, smiled for a while, then looked at Qing Feng and said:
"Now that the Dark Walkers have lost their important stronghold in Zhongli, based on your understanding of them, do you know what their plans will be next?"
Zhongli City was destroyed, and the power of the Chu State was growing. This was obviously a serious blow to the underworld.
Without the Zhongli State to contain the Chu State, the Chu State would be more able to fight with the Wu State. Not only because the channel for materials to be imported into the Wu State was interrupted. Moreover, the relationship between Zhongli and the Wu State was
The trend was also broken, which meant that Chu would have no worries when it came to destroying Wu in the future.
If Wu lost Zhongli, it would be like losing one of its horns, and it would inevitably have to fight alone in the future.
Therefore, as a chess piece and a chess piece of the Dark Walkers, the Dark Walkers' next arrangements for the Kingdom of Wu should be the most important.
But who knew that after Qingfeng heard the sound, he immediately shook his head and said:
"Since the fall of Zhufang City, I have cut off contact with them."
"I am just a dying person now. Since I have been abandoned by God, how can I know their next plan?"
Qingfeng has obviously become an outcast, as can be easily seen from the several attacks he suffered on the way to Qianxi.
In fact, Qingfeng himself understood this, but he did not feel resentful towards the Dark Walkers because of this. On the contrary, he very much agreed with the Dark Walkers' approach.
This shows how successful the Dark Walkers are in brainwashing people like them.
Li Ran smiled and said nothing, because he also guessed that the dark followers would not inform him of the follow-up matters, so his question was just a chance.
All the truth was revealed today.
The amount of information Li Ran obtained can be described as massive, and there are countless clues in it that still need to be considered carefully.
After the "interrogation" was completed, Li Ran was about to get up and leave, but Qingfeng stood in the cage again and called him out loudly:
"Sir, do you still remember the agreement you made with me?"
Qingfeng's face was not very good, and he looked a little gloomy, but there was anxiety and uneasiness in his eyes.
"You mean to ask King Chu to spare your life?"
"certainly."
Qingfeng looked into Li Ran's eyes and responded simply.
The only one they can count on now is Li Ran.
"I have nothing else to ask for now. I don't care about the power of kings, the power of ministers, or the secret activities of the Seven Lords!"
"Since you have promised me, sir, please never break your promise. A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. You must not be someone who breaks your promise."
Qingfeng's inner anxiety at this time has already appeared on his face, even though he pretended to be very calm.
It can be seen that death is a terrible thing for everyone, but some people are afraid of death itself, while others are afraid of the meaning of death.

"Oh? Returning to the Dark Walkers was not your goal all along?"
"Why don't you care until now?"
Li Ran couldn't help but mock him.
Unexpectedly, Qingfeng sneered and said calmly:
"There is no need to ridicule me. In life, everyone has different choices. You have your own way, and I have my own way. It's just a matter of success and failure."
"Now that I have something to ask of you, I have nothing to say, but this move to add insult to injury is definitely not a wise move for you."
He said the most cowardly words in the most arrogant tone.
If Qingfeng reaches later generations, his "achievement" as a keyboard warrior should be even higher.
Li Ran smiled when he heard the sound and said immediately:
"Since I have promised you, I will do my best to protect your life."
"But doctors must also remember that you should know in your mind how to say certain things and to whom you should say it."
The Zuojun camp outside was as peaceful as ever, and the spies inside the Chu State still had not shown up.
This is not a good thing for Li Ran.
Of course, he didn't want to see this spy sneak in and make some kind of deal with Qing Feng when he wasn't paying attention.
Qingfeng knew this very well and immediately nodded and said:
"You can rest assured, I don't believe anyone except you now!"
Again, in order to survive, Qingfeng now has no choice but to trust Li Ran.
Because, Li Ran is already an extremely rare gentleman in this era.
Seeing this, Li Ran nodded and left the Zuojun camp together with Sun Wu.
When the two of them just returned to their tent, Sun Wu immediately asked in a low voice:
"Sir, what should we do next?"
Qingfeng had already spoken, and the situation faced by the Central Plains countries was already extremely dangerous, and Li Ran could not tolerate any further hesitation.
