On the other hand, Sun Wu finally returned to Qufu after experiencing this battle. As soon as he entered the city, he first arrived in front of Shusun Bao's house. After being introduced by the servant, Li Ran and Shusun Bao saw Sun Wu's return.
They are all overjoyed.
"Hey, if you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here."
When Shusun Bao heard this, he was immediately stunned:
"Cao Cao? Who is Cao Cao?"
Li Ran knew that he was talking nonsense, so he immediately added:
"Oh, there is no other. It is only rumored that this person is extremely fast, so he is often used to make fun of people who act quickly."
"How is it, Chang Qing? Are you satisfied with this trip to Juhu?"
Li Ran has a lot of intentions for Sun Wu. This time, he asked him to lead the two countries of Ju and Zhu to test his skills. In fact, it also allowed Sun Wu to improve himself. Now that Sun Wu has won a big victory, he is naturally full of confidence.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wu immediately thanked Li Ran and said:
"Thank you sir for your support!"
"If Mr. Wu hadn't given him this opportunity, I'm afraid that what Wu has learned would still be of no use to this day."
Uncle Sunbao on the side saw this and immediately stepped forward to help him up, smiling and saying:
"Do you know how to thank Zi Ming? Do you know that if I hadn't sent letters to Ju and Zhu, you, a mere disciple, would have been able to obtain such military power as you wished, if you only held a token from me?" After hearing this, Sun Wu was surprised and said:
"Yes, of course it is also the doctor's kindness. Wu is not very frightened and thanks Dr. Shusun!"
With that said, Sun Wu wanted to bow again, but his uncle Sun Bao held him up and prevented him from bowing down.
"No, we are all family members now, and no one else is present, so there is no need to be so generous."
"By the way, what are your plans when you return this time?"
Li Ran had just talked with him about Sun Wu's future arrangements, and it was a good time to listen to Sun Wu's own thoughts.
Li Ran stood aside and watched with a smile.
Sun Wu looked at the two of them, saw the smile on Li Ran's face, and had an idea in his mind, and immediately said:
"I am very grateful for Mr. Wu's teachings. In the future, I am willing to work hard as a horse and a horse for Mr. Wu!"
It seems that he has made up his mind to travel around the country with Li Ran.
Shu Sunbao was startled when he heard the sound, and quickly turned to look at Li Ran: This seems to be different from what we discussed.
Li Ran didn't expect that Sun Wu would choose to follow him, and was about to say something. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a servant ran straight over with blood dripping from his face, and shouted at Shusun Bao with a frightened face:
"Lord! Sun Su...Sun Su was ambushed outside the city!"
"What?!"
Hearing the news, Li Ran and Shusun Bao were both shocked.
Sun Wu on the side had not yet understood what was going on, and was about to ask hurriedly.
"Let's go!"
Li Ran had no time to explain and immediately led Sun Wu out of the city.
Shusun Bao sent many more warriors to follow him, and the group rushed to a mountain forest outside the city. After searching for a long time, they finally found a place for a fierce fight.
Exploring further into the forest, we saw the bodies of warriors lying scattered all along the way. Everyone felt more and more that the situation was not good.
No matter how powerful Sun Xu is in martial arts, he can't withstand so many killers attacking at the same time.
Finally, by a creek, I found the dying Sun Shulai.
At this time, Sun Su's body was covered with scars and blood. It looked like he was seriously injured in an ambush. It was not easy to kill all the thieves and fight so hard. But now, he only had the last remaining body left.
Come in one breath.
He was already a little confused at this moment, his whole body began to twitch, and blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he could not be saved.
"How could this happen?!"
When Sun Wu saw his second uncle like this, he was shocked and his face was full of anger.
Hearing the sound, Sun Su opened his eyes with difficulty, saw clearly the person in front of him, and immediately said vaguely:
"Xiao Wu...in the future...my uncle is not here...not by your side...you have to listen more...listen more to your husband...protect your husband on your behalf..."
"Lord...I..."
At this point, Sun Su could no longer continue. The severe pain from the wound on his body forced him to stop speaking. Tears from the corners of his eyes mixed with the blood on his face, dripping to the ground.
"Stop talking for now. Let's go back to the city. I'll find the best doctor for you. I'll definitely cure you!"
Li Ran suppressed the grief and anger in his heart and spoke in pain.
But Sun Su just shook his head slightly, forced a wry smile on his pale face and said:
"My lord... My lord, don't worry... Sun Su's death... He died well... I hope that your lord can treat my Awu kindly in the future... for my Sun family... Sun family..."
Gradually, Sun Su's voice stopped being heard.
"Second uncle!"
Sun Wu shouted, but there was no response from Sun Su, so he immediately stretched out his hand to feel Sun Su's breathing.
"Come here!"
"Bring Sun Su back to the city!"
Sun Su is dead.
Before Sun Wu could detect Sun Su's breathing, Li Ran knew the result.
There are too many wounds on his body. Even if he is in good health, he cannot withstand such severe blood loss.
At this moment, the anger on Li Ran's face gradually became thicker, and it looked like a storm.
He knew that this must be the work of the Ji family, who deceived Sun Su into leaving the city in the name of being a member of the Sun family in Le'an, and then waited for an opportunity to ambush and kill him.
This is Ji's revenge! Revenge against him, Li Ran!
"Sir... who did it? But the Ji family?!"
Sun Wu stood up, his eyes already filled with anger. But after hearing this, he turned to leave before Li Ran could continue.
"Wait!"
"What do you want to do? Go to seek revenge on the Ji family? Are you crazy?"
Li Ran scolded loudly.
When Sun Wu heard the sound, he immediately stopped, but the hatred on his face could not be stopped. At this moment, his eyes were full of hatred.
Seeing Sun Wu's expression of anger and hatred, Li Ran immediately forced himself to calm down, and then said in a deep voice:
"At this moment, Ji Sun Yiru is worried that he has no chance to attack you and me. If you go to him for revenge this time, wouldn't you be playing into his hands?"
"I will definitely avenge this revenge, but I am not going to take revenge now, and it is not up to you to take revenge!"
"Come back!"
After all, Sun Wu is just a white body after all, so why should he seek revenge from the Ji family?
Even if he knew that it was Sun Su who was killed by the Ji family, Sun Wu would never be so reckless. If he really let him go to trouble the Ji family, not only would he not be able to get revenge, but he would also most likely risk his own life.<
/p>
Li Ran knew the stakes here, so how could he see this happen?
After hearing this, Sun Wu turned his head and looked at Sun Su who had died on the ground again. The seven-foot-old man swayed slightly and actually shed tears.
It's not that he has never seen dead people.
On the contrary, once he becomes famous, his bones will wither, and now he has seen at least a thousand dead people, not to mention tens of thousands.
He originally thought that he was already a very hard-hearted person, who would kill decisively and never shed a tear.
But when he saw his relatives being killed, the fetters of family ties in his heart were affected, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
After all, he is just a fifteen or sixteen year old boy.
The screams of wild birds resounded in the mountain forest, the mountain wind blew the forest leaves, and a touch of blood appeared for no reason in the gorgeous sky. The setting sun was like fire, burning the sky red.
……
The carriage first escorted Sun Su's body back to the city, while Li Ran and Sun Wu followed him slowly under the cover of Shusun Bao's disciples, and then returned along the Xialiu River.
After this incident, Li Ran was even more certain that the Ji family would never give up on him. I am afraid that he would no longer be able to stay in Qufu City.
But before leaving, the murder of Sun Su cannot be forgotten so easily.
He was just thinking about how to arrange a counterattack, but unexpectedly, Sun Wu in front of him suddenly stopped. Li Ran looked up and saw that it was the same alley where he was assassinated.
At this moment, the alley was filled with black-clad warriors, their bronze swords were cold and dazzling like blood under the last rays of the setting sun.
This is no longer an assassination, this is a sniper killing with open swords and guns!
There was no need to say anything. Sun Wu, who was already angry, rushed out first and started a fierce fight with him.
This group of people killed his second uncle and ambushed Li Ran again. The anger in his heart had already been completely ignited.
Sun Wu's attack was extremely ruthless, and he led Shusun Bao's retainers to immediately shed a bloody path for Li Ran.
Li Ran stood there, his face full of coldness, his eyes looking particularly bright in the gradually gloomy night sky. Although he did not know martial arts, there was an unprovoked murderous intention on his body, just like the sky.
The autumn wind is so chilling!
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
The sound of the bronze swords clashing made Li Ran's eyes move.
I saw Sun Wu coming in with his sword, and the blade swept three feet across. The blood of the black-clothed warriors immediately flowed, and screams and shouts could be heard endlessly.
However, Sun Wu turned a deaf ear, like an extremely angry tiger rushing into the flock of sheep. The unique sword moves in the world were vividly displayed in his hands, but he didn't say a word, and some were just in his sword.
Bodies keep falling down.
However, Shusun Bao's disciples do not have such strong fighting power, and many of them are in trouble. If Sun Wu could not fight one against ten, I am afraid it would be difficult to withstand them.
When Sun Wu pointed his sword at the last warrior in black, Li Ran, who had been silent until now, finally shouted:
"Wait a minute."
Sun Wu's sword suddenly stopped, only a few inches away from the warrior's head.
Li Ran walked through the corpses of the warriors, stepping on the bloody water, and came to the warrior in black.
"Go back and tell Ji Sun Yiru that I, Li Ran, will definitely remember this account in my heart!"
"Let him wash his neck clean and just wait for me to take his head!"
"Go away."
Li Ran waved his hands, and the black-clothed warrior on the ground immediately rolled away and crawled away.
Sun Wu still didn't say a word. After all the disciples had cleaned up the battlefield, the group of people went on the road again and returned to Uncle Sunbao's house.
When Shusun Bao heard what happened today, he was shocked and angry, but at the same time he lamented that Li Ran was so calm and composed that he did not let the Ji family take advantage of it.
You must know that if Li Ran had not stopped Sun Wu, Ji would have led an army outside Qufu City by now.
"Qufu is very dangerous. In my opinion, why don't Ziming go to Zheng State first to avoid the limelight?"
Faced with the Ji family's endless assassinations, Shu Sunbao was not sure that he would be able to guarantee Li Ran's safety.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Ji family suffered heavy losses, they still have huge hidden resources that can be used to deal with Li Ran, which is beyond the reach of Shusun Bao.
As for the power in this dark place, even though Shusun Bao has been in politics for many years, he still doesn’t understand its secrets.
To keep Li Ran safe, we can only let him leave Qufu for a while. Moreover, now Shusun Bao has the confidence to deal with the Ji family in the court. Li Ran's temporary departure does not mean
What real impact will it have on the overall situation?
When Sun Wu heard this, he turned around and said angrily:
"Are we just going to watch Ji's lawlessness?!"
Unexpectedly, Shusun Bao also sighed:
"In my opinion, this is a way to get the best of both worlds. Is it possible that we really want to fight within Lu and let blood flow like rivers? If this is really the case, how can we stand by and watch when our powerful neighbors are around us?"
What he meant by this was that once he and Meng Sunji really started a large-scale internal fight with the Ji family, Jin, Chu, and Qi would inevitably intervene, and then it would really no longer be his family's business. "Li Ran understands what the doctor means. I have made up my mind and will set off tomorrow to go to Zheng Guo for temporary refuge."
