Chapter 476,477 Master and Servant are of the same mind
When Sun Wu returned to Luoyi, he learned that something serious had happened, and he couldn't help but regret it.
When Li Ran learned that Sun Wu had been easily relieved of military power, he couldn't help being surprised. He immediately beat his chest and feet, and even choked up.
In Guan Cong's memory, he has never seen Li Ran lose his composure like this.
"Young Master, what has happened has happened, and it is useless to be sad. I know that the young master is distressed. But for the current plan, we can only escape from Luoyi first, and then worry about it. We are already arranging an evacuation method, and we should be 80% sure at the moment.
!”
When Li Ran heard this, he continued to choke and said:
"Hey... I'm not worried about my life, but I'm sad because the royal family of Zhou is unlikely to be revived this week! On the King of Zhou's side, Shan Liu is now the regent, and it's hard for him to be independent. On the other hand, the prince is gradually deviating from his royal ways.
It’s hopeless! It’s hopeless!”
Only then did the audience realize the reason why Li Ran was so rude. The current situation in the Prince's Dynasty was actually not very stable, so he had already begun to kill the donkey. He was extremely anxious, even worse than King Ling of Chu.
Li Ran devoted himself to supporting the Zhou family and had long-cherished ambitions. He was not actually worried about his own safety. However, what the princes are doing now is really chilling.
"Young master, don't be too sentimental. As the saying goes, if God doesn't take what you give, what will humans do? Why not just run away and wait and see what happens!"
Li Ran didn't care much about this. He was now depressed and disheartened, and he was extremely disappointed with Wang Zichao.
"Just go ahead and do it. Be careful and don't let anyone discover you. Otherwise, I'm afraid our lives will be in danger! Hey, I originally thought that if you could insist on not handing over your military power, you would be able to retain your military power."
A glimmer of opportunity, now..."
"What can you do if you insist on refusing to surrender? Wouldn't it confirm our intention to rebel? Wouldn't it be even more dangerous at that time?"
Li Ran sighed:
"Although His Majesty placed me under house arrest, he was still very polite on the surface, perhaps to leave a way out for the future. If Chang Qing could continue to attack Liu Yi without handing over his military power, he would be afraid, so I would be even more worried.
Safety."
Guan Cong consoled him and said:
"Young Master, don't panic, Chang Qing Shenwu, if he is defeated again, he will naturally use Chang Qing again. So, I think the prince really doesn't dare to do anything to the young master now!"
Li Ran spread his hands.
"Having said that, I'm worried... Your Majesty has listened to the lies. During this period, I'm afraid there will still be people in His Majesty's ears instigating my life. If Your Majesty wins, then we can all be safe and sound. If you can't win, we may even lose our lives."
When Sun Changqing is unable to reverse it, I'm afraid...if that day really comes, I'll just run away for my life!"
"Young Master, since I have followed you, there is absolutely no reason to escape on your own!"
Li Ran looked at Guan Cong in surprise and hesitated to speak.
Kan Cong observes words and expressions and knows what Li Ran wants to say.
"Young Master, I followed King Chu Ling before, and my purpose was to take revenge! As for the current Chu King Qiji, it is not a good place to live. Young Master is completely different from them. The old sect master also showed kindness to me, although Young Master
I am on guard against you, but I have no intention of harming you. If you meet such a magnanimous master, if you do not swear allegiance to me, then you are ignorant of good and evil."
"Cong has always boasted that he is very accurate in judging people, and the young master is a benevolent and righteous person. Although Cong does not completely agree with the young master's way, the young master is frank with others, and everyone sees it! Although Cong treats the elder
The sect master is respected, but the old sect master’s dragon has never seen its tail. After many years of wandering around Xiong’s siege against his will, Xiong abandoned his illness and followed the young master like a bereaved dog. This is the final decision!”
"So I will do my best to help the young master escape from this place of right and wrong!"
Obviously, Guan Cong could be said to have identified Li Ran at this time. Even though he would not resolutely die for Li Ran, Guan Cong was still confident of taking the risk to get him out of trouble.
After hearing Guan Cong's frank words, Li Ran couldn't help but patted his shoulder heavily.
"Guan Cong, it's rare for you to have such intention. Li Ran was not candid enough before!"
As the saying goes, a friend becomes a friend in need.
After this incident, Li Ran completely accepted Guan Cong. Although the two of them had different ideas, they could still be regarded as seeking common ground while reserving differences, and being harmonious but different.
…
Besides, Fan Li fled Luoyi and headed towards Zhengyi. On the way, he learned that Sun Wu had been relieved of military power. Fan Li knew that the situation was not good, so he became more and more anxious on his way.
When Fan Li saw Ji Le in Ji Mansion, he did not dare to say that something had happened to Li Ran for fear that she would be worried. He only said that he would come back and have a look. Ji Le had just received a letter from Li Ran, so he did not doubt that he was there, but he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Feeling anxious and not knowing what's going on.
However, Ji Le saw that Fan Li was busy with work and Owl Yi had not moved. Thinking that if something happened to Li Ran, he could just write a letter and come back and let Owl Yi handle it on his behalf, but why did he let Fan Li come back?
Ji Le wanted to ask in detail, but Guang'er happened to come out of the back room. His feet stumbled and he was about to fall. Fan Li, with quick eyesight and quick hands, jumped out and cushioned Guang'er's body.
Although Guang'er didn't fall down, she was still startled. She had a heart problem. Ji Le immediately panicked and picked up Guang'er and showed great concern. Fan Li retreated silently when he saw this situation.
After Ou Yi sent the letter, he happened to be back from a business trip to Suiguo, so he was not in a hurry to go to Luoyi, but was dealing with the matter. When he saw Fan Li, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Young uncle? Why are you back too?"
Fan Li pulled the owl wings to a remote place and lowered his voice:
"Something happened, sir!"
Owl Wing widened his eyes and asked worriedly:
"What happened? Where is Sir now?"
"He has been placed under house arrest by the prince, and as far as I know, Brother Changqing has also been relieved of military power, moved to Luoyi and been placed under house arrest elsewhere. The situation is critical! Now Mr. only has Guan Cong around him, and Chu Dang is mostly
Also with Brother Changqing..."
When Owl Wing heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Young uncle, this matter is not trivial. You must not tell Madam!"
"Li understands. Li didn't mention it when he saw Madam just now."
"I'll send someone to investigate again and then figure out how to rescue sir!"
Owl Yi immediately used his business station to learn as much as possible about Li Ran's situation.
It was learned that Li Ran was now under strict restrictions and could not leave the mansion even half a step. Sun Wu and Chu Dang were also in the same situation. Chu Dang even injured many soldiers guarding them because he was anxious and angry.
Later, Nangong Xi threatened Li Ran, which made Chu Dang not dare to be reckless again.
After Owl Wing knew this, he was extremely anxious. He was able to spy on information in Luoyi, but now he was a little powerless if he wanted to enter Luoyi to rescue his lord.
Fan Li saw him pacing back and forth, lowering his head and thinking hard, and couldn't help but say:
"Brother Owl, Li actually has a way, maybe he can be saved!"
Owlwing raised his head.
"Oh? What's the solution? Please tell me quickly!"
Fan Li hesitated at this time:
"It's just...this method may not be in line with Sir's wishes!"
"Young uncle, just say what you say, no matter whether it is in line with your husband's wishes or not, as long as you can save your husband from trouble, then let him punish me afterwards!"
——
Chapter 477_When others abandon me, I take it; when others take it, I give it away
After hearing Owl Yi's words, Fan Li couldn't help but nodded and said:
"That's true. As long as you are fine now, you don't have to worry about so many things! Li's solution is to ask the Jin State to send troops to intervene again!"
Owl Wings was surprised:
"Let Jin send troops again?"
Fan Li sighed and said:
"Li knew that this move would inevitably be suspected of collaborating with the enemy, but now that I think about it, even if it had not happened, the Jin State would have sent troops sooner or later. As the saying goes, 'I take when others abandon me, and I give when others take', Li thought that if he could let
By taking this matter in advance, we can ensure that you, Sir, are all prepared. If the Jin State sends troops, the princely court will definitely not be able to resist it. Then, they will think of you again, and you may even have to reuse Brother Changqing!"
"Well, that makes sense! Since Wang Zichao treats you like this, we don't have to think about anything else! I'm going to meet Uncle Zi Taishu. If he comes forward, this matter can be done!"
Owl Yi and Fan Li's thoughts are also very simple, that is, as long as they can rescue Li Ran, even if it is just to temporarily prevent him from being murdered. It doesn't matter whether he is Fan Yang of the Jin State or a secret traveler, he can be used for their own purposes and achieve their goals.
It's the best policy.
You Ji had received advice from Li Ran before, and he was especially grateful for his kindness to Zheng Guo. Hearing that Li Ran was in trouble, he would not sit idly by and ignore it.
What's more, Zheng Guo is a neighbor of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty is in chaos. The reason why they have been standing by and watching is just to protect themselves.
Nowadays, the Zhou Dynasty has been in turmoil for a long time, and the number of refugees is increasing day by day, which is also extremely disadvantageous for Zheng Guo.
Therefore, regarding the news about Wang Zichao and King Zhou Gai, You Ji has actually been sending people to inquire secretly.
He also already knew the news that Li Ran was under house arrest, and was thinking about how to rescue him. When he learned that Owl Wing was visiting, he hurriedly let him in.
The owl-winged savior was so eager that he had no time to be polite when he saw Youji.
"Sir! My lord is in trouble, and I hope you can help me... Owl Wings is grateful, and I will definitely repay him in the future!"
When You Ji heard this, he seemed quite helpless and sighed to himself:
"Hey... Li Ziming is also very kind to me, the State of Zheng. Knowing that he is in trouble now, I am also thinking of ways to rescue him. But... our country of Zheng is not strong enough and is of no importance among the princes. This matter is really difficult.
Do it!”
Owl Wing said sincerely:
"What the doctor said is true, so now, only the Jin Kingdom can save my lord's life!"
Youji couldn't help but be startled.
"Jin Kingdom? Then Fan Yang will go to save Ziming?"
"In normal times, Fan Zhongjun would not have saved my lord, but today is different from the past. Fan Yang has always wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Zhou royal family. Previously, he was disturbed by rumors and had to retreat to prove his innocence. Therefore, for Fan Zhongjun,
, as long as they find a reasonable excuse, they will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity! It’s just that... if other people talk about such taboo things, they will talk lightly after all. Only with a status like a doctor,
If you can lobby on behalf of Zheng Guo, it might be possible!"
Youji was silent for a moment, and soon made up his mind:
"Okay, then you quickly pack up and go to the Kingdom of Jin with me!"
When Owl Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked You Ji profusely. Then he went back to clean up, and asked Fan Li to stay in Ji Mansion and take care of his wife and Guang'er, because Ji Le would have to know that Li Ran was trapped sooner or later.
At that time, it was also necessary to keep a close confidant by his side.
After all, Fan Li is attentive, so it is perfect for him to be there for this matter. Although Fan Li wants to work together to save people, he is also worried about his wife. Her body seems to be getting weaker and weaker. He also has to worry about Li Ran and Guang'er's mental illness. If
With no one watching over her, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on.
Therefore, Owl Yi followed the envoy composed of You Ji and headed for the Kingdom of Jin. Not to mention the traveling all the way, when they arrived in Jiangcheng, they immediately asked to see Fan Yang.
Fan Yang learned that You Ji had arrived. Although the Zheng State was small, its position was crucial. It was located next to the Zhou Dynasty and between the two great kingdoms of Jin and Chu. Therefore, You Ji, the representative of the Zheng State, could not be underestimated, so he immediately
meet.
Owl Yi pretended to be You Ji's entourage and followed him. The two met and sat down politely. Fan Yang seemed to be pointing and said:
"Uncle Zi, the Zhou Dynasty has been in chaos for a long time. You, the State of Zheng, are so close to the Zhou Dynasty, but you have never expressed your stance. I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
Youji smiled bitterly:
"Back to Fan Zhongjun, since Dr. Zichan left, my ability is limited after all. In addition, a lot of things have happened in the country of Zheng recently. It can be said that it is a mess, and I am feeling even more stressed. I have not been able to calm down the affairs of my country, let alone make unreasonable comments.
It’s a royal matter!”
"However, in our country of Zheng, some people once joked: 'I don't care about the weft, but worry about the fall of Zong Zhou, because it will come soon. (The widow doesn't worry about the weft of her weaving, but worries about Zong Zhou's fall, because
Afraid that disaster will befall her.) The current situation of the royal family is really worrying, and our small country has to be afraid."
"Of course, I'll forgive you for saying it bluntly, but the chaos in the royal family is actually a shame for the Jin Dynasty!"
Fan Yang frowned.
"Uncle Zi, what do you mean by saying that?"
"Haha, "Poetry" said: 'The bottles are empty, but the shame of the lei.' Jin is a country of uncles, and it is also close to the royal family. It would be inappropriate to be indifferent to the chaos in the royal family! I hope Fan Zhongjun will soon
Picture it!"
When Fan Yang heard this, his eyes lit up.
Wow, you are worthy of being the successor of Zichan, and he is no less eloquent.
Therefore, Fan Yang said even more hypocritically:
"Hey... It's not that our Jin country is unwilling to serve. It's just that we also sent troops to help the royal family, but in the end rumors spread and people had different opinions. I couldn't bear those inexplicable accusations, so I retreated with my troops. This must be because of our Jin. Country!"
"Fan Zhongjun's words are wrong. Since we are all for the peace of the royal family, why should we care about what others say? When the royal family granted Tang Shuyu the title, King Xiang also gave Wen Gong the fertile land of Yuandi, Wendi, Yangfan, and Maomao in his dianfu. The land is the reason why the Jin Kingdom is as strong as it is today. Now, it is indeed the time for the Jin Kingdom to repay its kindness!"
Although Fan Yang has made up his mind to send troops, he still has to pretend in front of You Ji:
"Okay, let's wait until Yang Yang and all the ministers and officials discuss it together before making a decision!"
You Ji immediately resigned, except for Fan Yang's mansion, Owl Yi said worriedly:
"Master You, will Fan Zhongjun send troops?"
You Ji smiled calmly.
"He will definitely send troops. In fact, he has already intended to send troops, but he has no reason. Now that he knows what I said, how can he not send troops?!"
】
When Owl Wing heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief:
"If so, then sir, you can be saved!"
You Ji frowned at this moment.
"It's just that... Jin sent troops, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse..."
…
Let’s talk about Fan Yang.
Originally, he was somewhat angry with Shan Qi and was somewhat depressed.
But seeing the princes becoming kings and gradually gaining the upper hand, if Danqi cannot withstand it, it will undoubtedly be a great threat to their secret followers.
This is definitely not what Fan Yang wants to see.
It's just that if he had rashly sent out troops again before, he would still be dishonest. But now, with You Ji's endorsement, he is playing into his ambitions.
Fan Yang immediately went to visit Han Qi, who had already retired. When he talked about this matter, Han Qi was already seriously ill and lying on the bed, barely able to speak.
Fan Yang's move was just to give himself a standard of justice in sending troops. After getting Han Qi's vague "support", Fan Yang went to the ruling minister Wei Shu. Fan Yang had recently been involved in the Song Dynasty Rebellion and the previous prince. During the chaos of the dynasty, he always made a lot of profits and his reputation grew.
Wei Shu, the minister in power, had already been ignored by him. Therefore, Wei Shu saw that Fan Yang wanted to send troops again, and he was so confident that he could not refute it, so he agreed.
Therefore, Fan Yang issued an order in the name of the Jin State to summon all the princes to meet with Huang's father for an alliance, which could be regarded as a legitimate reason for him to send troops this time.
