The three of them left the camp and returned to the Lu camp. Yang Hu was overjoyed to see Li Ran back safely.
Therefore, he left the camp early to greet:
"Oh my! Mr. Ziming! Mr. risked his life for our country of Lu, but I am so worried about you!"
Although his words were polite, they were not entirely hypocritical.
In fact, he had been worried that Guo Xia might have some extreme reaction to Li Ran. For example, he would directly detain Li Ran or even kill him directly.
Fortunately none of this happened.
Li Ran stopped and asked everyone to wait outside.
As for him, he needed to talk to Yang Hu alone. Therefore, he slightly pointed in the direction of the big tent, indicating that Yang Hu would enter the account with him and talk.
At this time, Yang Hu was extremely polite to Li Ran. He personally served Li Ran tea, but Li Ran was not polite to him either. He took a few sips of his own business and then said:
"Tomorrow Guo Xia will withdraw his troops, but your Excellency still needs to write a letter to him. After all, Guo Xia will withdraw his troops and go back, and he also needs an excuse."
When Yang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy, and he couldn't help but grinned:
"That's natural. Sir, please relax. Hu will write a letter to show that I, Yang Hu, really have no intention of fighting for victory."
Afterwards, Yang Hu immediately wrote a written letter and ordered it to be sent directly to Qiying.
As soon as this matter was settled, Yang Hu bowed to Li Ran again and said:
"Sir has always refused to go out, but now he goes out to strategize and retreat 50,000 troops with just one word. It is really admirable! You are a great talent. If you only hide in the apricot forest, it will be a misfortune for our country of Lu!"
Li Ran still looked extremely cold, and just waved his hand and refused:
"Since I am the Taishi of the Zhou royal family, it is inconvenient for me to serve in the Lu State. In addition, my wife has passed away, and I have already been disheartened! Please don't persuade me. I came here this time because I can't bear to suffer the Lu State again."
It’s just a series of wars and misfortunes, and the lives of all people are in ruins!”
"I also ask you to behave yourself and be kind to your neighbors in the future, and never do any rebellious behavior again!"
When Yang Hu heard this, he knew that Li Ran had made up his mind, but he had no choice but to reply in a very polite manner:
"Yes, yes! What you said is true. Tiger should obey it!"
Hearing Yang Hu deal with him in this way, Li Ran knew that he still had no intention of repenting, and couldn't help but shook his head:
"Hey... Li Ran has nothing else to ask for now. He only has one thing to say, please listen to me."
Yang Hu couldn't help but be stunned:
"Oh? Sir, please make it clear that I am all ears."
Li Ran raised his hand again and said sincerely:
"I also ask you to do more good things for the country of Lu, as the king, and for the people of the country in the future! Your Excellency is now in charge of state affairs as an accompanying minister, and you should put the people first and the people first. As the saying goes, 'Holy Works'
Then, only in this way can you have a happy ending!"
"Sir, you must no longer only focus on immediate interests and let your mind be deceived by it! Let alone do things that hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy!"
Yang Hu grinned and said:
"Sir's lesson is that the tiger will remember it in his heart!"
After Yang Hu heard these words, he no longer mentioned Li Ran's appointment.
Because he knew that the two of them still had great differences on some things.
And Li Ran could only sigh secretly when he saw that Yang Hu was making excuses with him.
He knows that many things are still beyond his control.
So, in the early morning of the next day, Li Ran took Gong Eryue and Chu Dang and returned to the State of Lu first, and asked Sun Wu to stay until Guoxia officially withdrew its troops before returning.
In fact, Li Ran's move was more of a distrust. After all, no one could guarantee whether Yang Hu would do anything outrageous again when he retreated from Guoxia.
On the carriage, Gong Eryue served Li Ran and drank some water, then sat in front of the window, lifted the curtain and looked out.
She was attracted by the scenery in front of her and seemed to be full of curiosity about everything around her.
After a while, they came to a pond, and Chu Dang stopped the carriage to let the horses rest for a while.
Li Ran and Gong Eryue were walking around for a while. Chu Dang looked at their backs and found that they seemed to be drifting away, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
However, he then thought again, since he was already in the territory of Lu State, and Gong Eryue's skills were enough to protect Li Ran.
What's more, it was "Madam" who came down to earth, and there should always be something to say quietly between them.
So Chu Dang did not follow him any further. He just led the horses to the pond and let them drink some water.
Suddenly, a figure suddenly rushed past, and Chu Dang's eyes were blinded and he couldn't help shouting:
"who?!"
But seeing the man's strong hands and extremely fast speed, Chu Dang became suspicious, so he immediately tied the horse back to the carriage and chased after him in one stride.
At this time, Li Ran and Gong Eryue didn't know this yet, they were just flexing their muscles.
Gong Eryue smiled and said:
"Sir, actually when I first met you, I always felt that you were a bit unworthy of your reputation. But this time, it really opened Yue'er's eyes! Sir, you are indeed as powerful as the rumors say!"
Li Ran smiled and said humbly:
"Oh, it's just a little trick of a wither insect, why should it be taken seriously?"
"Where! Sir, you have no martial arts skills, but you can give orders in the military camp! No one will listen to you, and no one dares to disobey! But with this aura, it is beyond the reach of others. As for breaking into the enemy camp at night,
In just a few words, you can directly tell Qi to withdraw its troops, which is even more incredible! If this is not called powerful, then what else is called powerful?"
"Those of us who only make small fuss there based on our personal bravery are nothing compared to Mr.! However, Mr. has been staying in the apricot grove before, which is really a waste of natural resources! Mr. already has
With such ability, you should look at the world, not just in the small area of the apricot forest!"
Li Ran raised his eyebrows.
"Miss Yue, do you even want to persuade me to leave the mountain?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gong Eryue said there as if nothing had happened:
"Yue'er just doesn't want to see Mr. sink like this. Since Mr. has a great talent, he should do more for the world!"
Li Ran was silent. Seeing this, Gong Eryue said again:
"Although Yang Hu is also a man of great power, he is still doing his own damage by adhering to the Lu State. The current situation in the Lu State is unclear, so you must bear the responsibility! But now that you are hiding from the world, is it because you are unwilling to shoulder this heavy responsibility? I think
Madam, she would never want Mr. to be like this, right?"
Li Ran turned around and couldn't help but look at Gong Eryue, this person who looked exactly like Ji Le. The words he spoke now were almost the same as Ji Le.
In fact, as early as when he was in the Chu Kingdom, he had already had the idea of escaping from the world. However, it was only after some persuasion from Ji Le that he changed his mind.
Just when the two of them were talking.
Suddenly, Gong Eryue flew forward, grabbed Li Ran who was still thinking a lot, and threw him to the ground from the side.
But after hearing the sound of "Hugh", an arrow landed beside the two of them, its feathers still swinging slightly.
Before Li Ran could react, he was quickly pulled up by Gong Eryue and ran all the way in the direction of the carriage.
But before he could take a few steps, several black figures jumped over, holding bright swords, and slashed at Li Ran.
Gong Eryue instantly pulled out the sword on her waist. There were several sounds of weapons clashing, and she blocked the sword.
The goals of those people are also very clear, it is none other than Li Ran!
They wanted to bypass Gong Eryue and continue to hunt Li Ran.
But how could Gong Eryue let them pass so easily? She immediately raised her sword and tried her best to resist.
She protects Li Ran, and with the secret of her swordsmanship, she can always stab the enemy to the point where he has to save himself and turn around.
Moreover, in the blink of an eye, two people were lying on the ground. Although those people were outnumbered, they could not hurt Li Ran in the slightest!
Li Ran calmed down and shouted in a deep voice:
"Who are you thieves?!"
Those people didn't answer, they raised their weapons and started to attack again.
Gong Eryue held Li Ran with one hand and held a sword in the other to resist, fighting and retreating, trying to return to the carriage.
Gong Eryue knew that it would be difficult for her to kill all these people. Only by joining Chu Dang could she have a chance of survival.
However, when they retreated to the side of the carriage, Chu Dang was not found.
Li Ran knew in his heart that Chu Dang must have fallen into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, and the attacks of those assassins became more and more intense. Gong Eryue blocked the attacks from the left and the right, and gradually became difficult to resist.
The two of them were forced to the other side of the carriage.
Among the assassins, only one person raised his sword to make a false strike, and then swayed directly to Li Ran's side. The sword flipped and was wiped towards Li Ran's neck.
And Li Ran suddenly felt the chilling chill at this moment...
