The disciple of the doctor couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"My lady has passed away, this is my lady's clothes..."
Li Ran's eyes trembled for a while, and he wanted to stand up, but his legs became weak, and he suddenly fell to his knees on the ground. Sun Wu hurriedly helped him, but found that Li Ran was not strong all over.
Li Ran stretched out his trembling hand. Sun Wu understood the idea and took the long box from the man's hand and put it in Li Ran's hand. Li Ran wanted to open it, but he didn't dare.
Sun Wu asked eagerly:
"Is it true that Madam has died of illness?"
I saw the man sigh again:
"Indeed, Madam suffered a life of near death. After she arrived in the Qin State, the family teacher recruited various doctors to treat her. However, her illness was so advanced that it was difficult to cure her. The teacher also worked hard and worked hard, and eventually became ill from overwork, and died in a few days.
I can't afford to be sick anymore..."
Li Ran was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood. Sun Wu was startled. Li Ran didn't know where the strength came from at this time. He threw the long box on the ground, stood up suddenly, and banged his head against the wall.
After all, Sun Wu reacted quickly. He rushed over and stopped Li Ran with his chest. Li Ran tried his best to die, which made Sun Wu suddenly gasp.
"Sir! Don't be impulsive!"
Although Li Ran was impulsive, his desire to die was real. He grabbed Sun Wu's arm with both hands and couldn't help crying:
"Le'er is dead, so what's the point of me, Li Ran, living? Don't stop me!"
Sun Wu said anxiously:
"Sir! Liguang can't live without you! What's more... this matter needs further verification! You can't just listen to his words!"
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and felt that what Sun Wu said was reasonable. So, he tremblingly returned to the long box, picked up the long box, and placed it on the eucalyptus table.
Li Ran opened the long box and saw that it was indeed Ji Le's clothes, even underwear. Li Ran lost his voice and said:
"Where's the body? Where's Le'er's body?"
The man replied:
"My wife's body was not suitable for traveling long distances due to the hot weather, so I had to be buried on the spot... Because my master was also seriously ill at the time and could hardly speak, and he did not explain the funeral affairs of your wife. He only asked for
The disciple is bringing his clothes back."
Li Ran's body swayed and staggered, and he felt sad and angry.
During this period of time, he had been looking forward to the stars and the moon, but what he expected was such unfortunate news.
At this moment, Fan Li came to the hall with Li Guang.
When Fan Li saw the situation in front of him, he immediately guessed what the situation was and wanted to take Liguang away quickly. However, Liguang was very keen to break free from his hand and ran straight to Li Ran.
Liguang saw that what was placed in the long box was her mother's clothes, and she couldn't help but asked strangely:
"Where's mother? Isn't she back yet?"
When Li Ran was heartbroken, he saw Li Guang coming in. He suppressed his patient grief and anger, hugged Li Guang, and whispered:
"Not yet...she hasn't come back yet..."
Liguang looked at the tears on Li Ran's face and was very surprised, and stretched out her hand to wipe them away.
"Father, why are you crying?"
Li Ran choked and said:
"Guang'er, there are some things that need to be dealt with as a father. Young uncle, I would like to trouble you to take Guang'er and leave this place first."
Fan Li came over, and he looked like a mirror in his heart. He glanced at Li Ran with concern, and then at Sun Wu. Sun Wu secretly waved to him, beckoning him to do something quickly.
So Fan Li took Liguang's little hand again:
"Guang'er, let's go out and play for a while."
Liguang looked back at the wooden box and left the living room thoughtfully.
After Li Guang left, Li Ran cried again, but because he saw Li Guang, he was frustrated at this moment, which actually made his brain clear up a lot.
"Chang Qing, you and this gentleman should also step back first!"
Sun Wu was worried about Li Ran alone. When Li Ran saw this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Don't worry, Chang Qing, I won't do anything stupid again, even if it's for Guang'er...and I have to verify the authenticity of this matter first!"
Sun Wu then took the man away. Li Ran gently touched Ji Le's clothes in front of him, Ji Le's frown and smile appeared in front of his eyes, and his tears were like springs, and he couldn't stop them at all.
However, after crying for a while, he still took a short rest, carefully closed the long box, straightened up his appearance, and then walked out of the door. He met Chu Dang at the door, poking his head.
It turned out that it was Sun Wu who couldn't feel relieved after all, so he specially asked Chu Dang to come and see Li Ran's condition.
Li Ran's eyes were red. When he saw Chu Dang, he said:
"Chu Dang, come with me to Ji's Mansion!"
Chu Dang didn't dare to talk to him at this time. He just followed Li Ran obediently out of the apricot forest and walked towards the city.
Li Ran is going to Yang Hu's place.
Because Yang Hu also sent soldiers to escort Ji Le at that time, he thought he could ask some specific information about Ji Le from them.
When Yanghu learned that Li Ran had come to visit, he was also overjoyed.
He came out in a hurry. He was smart and saw that Li Ran's mood seemed not right, so he took Li Ran's hand very affectionately and said:
"Mr. Ziming's visit has really made our Ji Mansion shine. Come! Please come inside!"
Li Ran did not enter the gate, but asked straight to the point:
"My lord, may I ask if the guards that your lord sent to escort my wife to Qin last time have come back?"
When Yang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes:
"Oh, they? They must have come back a long time ago, right?"
"Please, sir, let them come here, but there are some things here that I want to ask them in person."
Although Yang Hu didn't know what was going on, he still nodded and waved to the attendant behind him:
"Come here, let the centurion who went to Qin State be summoned here!"
Afterwards, some servants went to the military camp to call for help.
Yang Hu once again invited Li Ran into the house for a chat.
However, Li Ran remained indifferent.
Although he was feeling heavy at the moment, he had not completely lost his faith.
On the one hand, Yang Hu's approach of attacking the power of ministers, advocating for the official office, and reviving Zhou rites is indeed impeccable.
But on the other hand, his motives and short-sightedness, especially being used by Fan Yang without knowing it, made Li Ran not have much hope for this person.
Therefore, if he was not looking for news about Ji Le at this moment, he would not take the initiative to look for him.
Li Ran declined again and again. After a while, the centurion also rushed over. When Yang Hu saw him, he said directly:
"You escorted Mrs. Li to Qin last time. Today, Mr. Ziming wants to ask you something in person."
The centurion immediately stepped forward and saluted:
"The villain has met Mr.
Li Ran didn't care about anything else and asked directly:
"May I ask, General, where was my wife sent?"
The head of a hundred households replied:
"Sir, our group escorted the lady to Dezongzhou Haojing and then left."
Haojing, also known as Zongzhou, was the place where Zhou people flourished.
But since Xirong conquered Haojing and King Ping moved eastward, the land of Haojing was merged into the Qin State, and this became the first pot of gold that the Qin people obtained on the border of Xirong.
Haojing is far away from the Central Plains, and the road to Qin is long. They have to be wary of the surrounding Rong and Di from time to time along the way. Therefore, as soldiers of the Lu State, it is inconvenient for them to stay in Haojing for too long.
Li Ran asked again:
"Then... how was my wife's condition along the way?"
The centurion continued to reply:
"My lady relied on Mr. He's method of calming down and stayed in the carriage almost all the time. I have never seen your lady get out of the carriage. However, as for the exact condition of your body, I cannot help but forgive you.
And know..."
Li Ran asked a few more questions, but found that he couldn't find out who Chou Yinmao was, so he had to give up, turned around, and said to Yang Hu:
"My lord, I'm afraid my wife has passed away... I really have no intention of serving as an official... so, please forgive me..."
After Li Ran finished speaking, he turned around and left. Yang Hu looked at Li Ran's back and stamped his feet, feeling regretful.
What he felt sorry for was certainly not for Li Ran's wife.
But he knew very well that with the sudden death of Li Ran's wife, it would be even more difficult for him to invite Li Ran to come out.
"Li Ziming, Li Ziming, how can I rest assured that such a great talent cannot be used by me, Yang Hu?"
