"Young uncle, please tidy up. In three days, we will set off with the army together. In addition, Guan Ziyu must always pay attention to Chengyi's every move!"
Fan Li cupped his fists and bowed in response:
"Don't worry, sir! I will send a letter to Ziyu later."
After Fan Li finished speaking, he did not leave directly. Instead, he said:
"Sir, sir, do you really want to go there in person about the fall into the city? I thought... there is no use in killing a chicken with a sledgehammer?"
When Li Ran heard this, he smiled slightly:
"Haha, in fact, compared to Feiyi and Liyi, the Chengyiyi is the biggest test. Liyi has marquis prisoners, while Feiyi has Gongshan Buxiu. Both of them are brave men who do things in a clear way.
, so it is easy to provoke.”
"And this Gong Lianyang... I have provoked him several times before, but all failed. Moreover, this man has saved lives for both the Meng family and Sanhuan, and he is quite famous in the country."
"Therefore, the disasters caused by Gong Liyang will definitely be far greater than those of Fei Yi and Li Yi. Moreover...I am afraid that my drunken remarks will get into the ears of San Huan sooner or later, and I am afraid that San Huan will be dissatisfied by then.
In this case, I still have to go there in person."
Fan Li was still a little confused:
"Sir, what does Mr. Ji and Dr. Shusun mean...that they will be harmful to you? But I see that Mr. Ji and Mr. Ji have no new grudges and have the same goals. Would he really think so?"
Li Ran nodded and said calmly:
"Well, what the young uncle said is not unreasonable. Ji Sun and the others are now bent on weakening Meng Sun's power. Their top priority is to destroy Chengyi... Therefore, they will not do anything to me for the time being. As for
Meng Sun, it can be seen that he is still a little wavering!"
"Now that the three Huans have their own thoughts, I can actually make some plans in the dark. There are some things and words that Kong Zhongni is inconvenient to say, but I can."
When Fan Li heard this, he suddenly realized:
"That's it. No wonder sir insisted on going to Li here to prepare."
After Fan Li left, Li Ran clasped his hands behind his back and murmured:
"This time, it seems that I have to fight Tian Qi again..."
…
In the next two days, Li Ran and Gong Eryue still looked at each other a little awkwardly.
There was also much less dialogue between the two.
Seeing that Li Ran was about to set off with the army tomorrow, Gong Eryue finally lost her temper and went to the study to find Li Ran.
Gong Eryue looked at what Li Ran was writing on the slip at the door. After hesitating for a while, she walked in with a cup of water and some honey bait, and placed it on several tables.
Li Ran heard the noise, looked up at Gong Eryue, and couldn't help but smile.
Gong Eryue hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Sir, you will set off with the army tomorrow. I...I want to go too..."
Li Ran was startled for a moment, stopped writing, and said to Gong Eryue:
"Yue, you should stay with Guang'er. There are uncle and Chu Dang over there. I won't be in danger..."
Gong Eryue insisted:
"The military is difficult. If I am here, I can take more care of them. They are men after all. Although protecting you is not a problem, but when it comes to taking good care of them, I am afraid it is not enough. I...I'd better go with you!"
Li Ran said:
"Don't worry, Yue, I am also a person with hands and feet, and I will take care of myself."
Gong Eryue rolled her eyes at Li Ran.
"Having been with you for so long, don't I know your nature? You are alone outside. Whenever something happens, you forget about food and sleep. You don't care about yourself at all. How can you make people feel at ease? I don't believe you can take good care of me.
As for myself!"
When Li Ran heard these words, he couldn't help but think of the letters Ji Le wrote to him when he was in Chu State.
Among them, most of them were concerned about trivial matters such as eating and dressing.
When Li Ran thought about this, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Yue... you... this me..."
When Gong Eryue saw Li Ran hesitating, she actually smiled.
"Sir, don't you dare to see me?"
Li Ran picked up the water cup to drink water, but suddenly he choked on the words, and couldn't help but cough repeatedly:
"Where...how can this happen?"
Gong Eryue said again and again:
"If not, then you took me with you when you went out before, why don't you take me with you this time?"
Li Ran was confused by Gong Eryue's question. He hesitated to speak, not knowing how to answer at all.
After a while, Li Ran suddenly asked:
"Then...but I don't know my identity...how did Miss Yue think about it?"
When Gong Eryue heard this, she couldn't help but blush. She didn't know what she was thinking, and she was stunned for a while:
"This...this matter...the days are long, so we still have to talk about it some time later..."
At this time, Li Ran smiled slightly and said:
"So, since you and I both need to make long-term plans, how should we make plans if you are with me all the way?"
Later, Li Ran said to her seriously:
"Yue, this time Fan Li will also go to Chengyi with me, so the Li Mansion can only be entrusted to you. You must not treat it as a child's play. In addition to taking good care of Guang'er, you must also see the opportunity.
Taking care of internal and external affairs. So, your burden is really not light..."
When Gong Eryue heard this, she saw Li Ran's serious expression and knew that the matter was of great importance. So she stopped insisting and quietly retreated.
Seeing this situation, Li Ran sighed helplessly, and then continued to write something on the slip.
…
As night fell, Li Ran found Gong Eryue and Liguang again.
Li Guang was not surprised by Li Ran's departure and just blinked and asked:
"Father, will it be dangerous to go out this time?"
Li Ran said:
"With Ah Li and Chu Dang, there won't be any danger. You have to listen to Er Niang at home, you know?"
This was the first time that Li Ran said the title "Er Niang" directly in front of Liguang. But Liguang was used to it.
However, when Gong Eryue heard this, her whole body was shocked. It was obvious that she was still very uncomfortable with this title coming from Li Ran's mouth.
Liguang replied:
"Father, don't worry, Guang'er has always been very obedient, especially to Er Niang!"
Gong Eryue also said:
"You should pay more attention to yourself outside. As long as I'm here, Guang'er will be fine at home."
Li Ran glanced at Gong Eryue gratefully. Since Ji Le's death, Gong Eryue spent much more time with Li Guang than he, a father, did.
The reason why Liguang was able to get over the grief of losing her mother was indispensable to Gong Eryue.
Coupled with what happened that night, Li Ran was even more determined to give Gong Eryue a status in the future.
"You all should go to bed early! I have to go to bed early tonight, and I will set off early tomorrow morning!"
Li Ran stood up as he spoke, and Gong Eryue walked him to the door. Li Ran turned back and glanced at Liguang behind her, who was sitting inside, looking at the two of them with a pair of big eyes.
Li Ran whispered:
"Yue, wait for me to come back!"
Gong Eryue hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Well, no matter what, you have to come back safely. As long as someone is here... it's better than anything else..."
Gong Eryue's wife-like words made Li Ran feel a throb in his heart.
"Okay! I promise you!"
After Li Ran left, Gong Eryue looked at his back and thought for a long time. It wasn't until the bright light in the room called out that she came to her senses and went in and closed the door.
"Er Niang, what happened to you and your father?"
How could Gong Eryue say anything to Liguang? She coughed dryly and stroked Liguang's little head.
"We didn't do anything!"
Liguang looked at Gong Eryue's eyes wandering, feeling strange in her heart, but she didn't ask any further.
