Chapter 344 Prophecy of the Great Fire of the Four Kingdoms
At this time, what Sun Wu was holding in his hand was the news that Owl Wings had sent from the State of Zheng.
Li Ran hurriedly took it, and after he read it, his face suddenly looked very ugly.
"Sir, what happened?"
Sun Wu, who had been staying by Li Ran's side, did not read the news in advance, but seeing that Li Ran seemed to have something wrong at this time, he immediately asked.
Obviously, if something big wasn't going to happen, why would Li Ran look so ugly?
Hearing the sound, Li Ran handed the letter to him casually.
Sun Wu took a look, and then couldn't help but be startled. He hurriedly looked at Li Ran and said:
"Sir...sir, this thief is so determined that something will really happen!"
It turned out that in this letter, Owl Yi told Li Ran about the news from the Lu State.
Shu Niu's actions in the Lu State have become more frequent during this period, and after Ji Sun Yiru inherited the position of suzerain, he seemed to be plotting to overthrow the Lu State Palace again. And the power of the Lu State was about to fall to Ji again.
Signs of the clan.
And based on what Owl Wings noticed before, Shu Niu seems to have secretly contacted Feng Duan, who is now living in seclusion in Zheng Yi. Now that he is so active in the Lu State, there must be some conspiracy behind it!
But Owl Yi's identity in Zheng State is, after all, just Li Ran's housekeeper, and his information channels are naturally not as good as those of powerful officials like Zi Chan. Therefore, as to whether Shu Niu, Feng Duan, and Ji Sun Yiru are secretly communicating
What the conspiracy is, Owl Wings has no idea at all.
This also made Li Ran's situation seem very passive at the moment.
He is in the Chu State, and if something happens to Zheng Yi, it will be like his hometown being directly destroyed. And how can he save the fire from the distant water now?
"This bull, relying on the power of the secret crowd, has been thinking of bringing trouble to the world for more than a day or two. Now he is moving around like this and is ready to make a move. I think what he will do next will affect the entire Lu country.
Even the state of Zheng has a lot to do with it."
"It's just...what's a little strange is, why has there been no news from Dr. Zichan?"
Li Ran frowned, feeling uneasy about Zichan's quietness and his situation.
After all, if you really want to talk about it, Zichan's sources of information must be more extensive than that of Ouyi. Now that Owlyi has received the information, why is there no movement at all from Zichan's side?
"Is it possible that Dr. Zichan is busy with state affairs these days and has no time to take care of Shu Niu?"
As the ruling minister of the Zheng State, Zichan needed to personally handle all matters in the country. Although the matter of raising a cow was eye-catching, Zichan would not take the initiative to find out what happened before it happened.
But Li Ran shook his head for a while, without comment, with a thoughtful look on his face. After a long sigh, he fell into silence again.
At this moment, Sun Wu seemed to suddenly remember something, and he took out a kit from his arms, and immediately opened it and handed it over.
"By the way, I almost missed something big. Sir, this tip bag is also news from Zhengyi by Owl Wing, and he also specifically asked the person who sent the letter to deliver it to Sir in person."
It turns out that there are two ways of contacting Owl Wings and Li Ran who were stationed in Zheng State.
One is superficial, with the guards staying in Zhengyi going to various inns, and then changing the official personnel to go back and forth between Zheng and Chu to deliver messages to each other.
The other type is the secret emissary arranged by Owl Wing alone, who only delivers the message to Li Ran in a single line.
This is naturally to prevent some important information from being learned by others.
Li Ran looked at Sun Wu and then at the silk cloth in his hand, feeling vaguely uneasy.
And when he opened it and read it, his whole face became even more gloomy for a while.
"Recently in Zheng Yi, a group of witches suddenly appeared in the streets, threatening that a great disaster will come to the world."
"He said: There is a star shining in Dachen, reaching Han Dynasty in the west."
"This...this is not a good sign."
Li Ran murmured to himself, his expression very solemn.
"What is the profound meaning of 'there are stars in Dachen, reaching the Han Dynasty in the west'?"
Sun Wu on the side saw it and asked hurriedly.
He had only heard rumors about this kind of divination, but had never seen it personally, so he didn't understand what Li Ran meant.
As for Li Ran, after all, he had been a clerk in the Zhou royal family for several years and had many interactions with astrologers, so he understood it all at once:
"What this means is that there has been a comet coming in and out near the morning star Shangxi recently, and its tail has reached Tianjin." (Tianjin: Yinhe)
"Look, Owl Yi also specifically mentioned it in this silk book. The famous astrologers from Lu State, Shen Xu and Zi Shen, actually endorsed this. They both also issued a warning to the world at the same time, threatening that this would happen.
It is the celestial phenomenon of 'comet sweeping away fire', which indicates that there will be a big fire in the world next year."
"Zi Shen even made it clear that the fire will occur in the four kingdoms of Song, Wei, Chen, and Zheng in May next year."
Regarding this kind of mysterious and mysterious news, Owl Yi couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he could only inform Li Ran of the news in advance and ask Li Ran to make a decision.
After reading this, Li Ran felt an ominous premonition in his heart that suddenly became stronger.
Because he now knows that whether they are wizards or astrologers who observe the stars at night, most of the predictions made by these people are just in form. But what is the essence? It is that these people have a wider range of information than ordinary people.
Just the source.
The reason why it is revealed to everyone in the form of a "prophecy" is, on the one hand, to be able to "pretend to be a ghost" in order to achieve an effect that people cannot believe. On the other hand, it is also to protect oneself.
After all, most people really don't dare to touch people who can understand "Destiny".
Therefore, Li Ran knew very well that since the world's well-known "prophet" all issued warnings at the same time, it meant that this matter must not be groundless.
"Song Wei, Chen Zheng? Why are they these four countries?"
Sun Wu still doesn't quite understand.
After Li Ran calmed down his thoughts for a moment, he continued:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "According to Zi Shen's explanation, the so-called Shangsu Chenxing refers to the Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty is a descendant of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, corresponding to Dachen. The Chen Kingdom is the ancient holy king Taihao.
The place of residence is the birthplace of Muhuo, and the State of Zheng is the residence of Zhengzhurong, the ancient fire."
“These three countries are all places where ‘fire’ lives, so Zi Shen determined that these three countries must bear the brunt.”
"As for Weiguo, it is because it corresponds to Mercury, and water is the wife of fire. As the saying goes, women follow their husbands, and this comet eventually extends westward to Tianjin, which corresponds to Weiguo."
Speaking of which, these days, whether they are astrologers or wizards, they usually seem to be talking nonsense, as if they are mentally ill.
The "prophecies" these people talk about sound far-fetched at first glance.
Therefore, even after hearing this, Sun Wu could not help but be startled and asked hurriedly:
"Sir, do you believe these witches' words?"
He thought Li Ran would not believe it. After all, in his opinion, this prediction had no practical basis.
Moreover, how could major fires occur in four countries at the same time in reality?
Li Ran looked at him and did not answer directly, but said:
"As mentioned in the silk book, this news should have also been mentioned by Zheng Pi, the astrologer of Zheng State, and he also told Dr. Zichan about it. However, Dr. Zichan did not believe it."
"Oh? There is still such a thing?"
Sun Wu said in surprise.
Just listen to Li Ran say:
"It is said in the book that this Zheng Pi asked Dr. Zichan for a jade jade vessel because of this incident. The jade Zan was used for sacrifices, so he was sternly rejected by Dr. Zichan."
"It seems that Dr. Zichan doesn't believe in these so-called astrologers at all?"
"However, I do think that these singers and astrologers are not fabricating things out of thin air, unless there are really signs that made them aware of the danger."
Li Ran naturally did not believe in fate, but he had to believe in the disasters predicted by these astrologers based on "destiny".
