When Gong Eryue heard these words, she couldn't help but be moved, and couldn't help but blurt out:
"That's not necessary, we're overcoming people..."
Midway through her words, Gong Eryue reacted and immediately changed her words:
"I...I didn't say I had to marry you!"
Li Ran couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold Gong Eryue and said softly:
"What we should face together is what we have to face eventually. Yue'er, do you think so or not?"
Hearing this, Gong Eryue couldn't help feeling shy again, she couldn't help but lower her head and said:
"What kind of confrontation? I don't want to..."
Gong Eryue withdrew her little hand.
"I am a talented person from Vietnam, and I can't help myself."
Li Ran smiled and said:
"No, Yue'er is no longer there. As a talented person, since you left the Lu country, I have been completely cut off from you! I will also take care of all the subsequent matters for Yue'er. Yue'er just needs to rest assured.
.”
Gong Eryue still shook her head.
"Things... How can things be so simple?"
In the end, Gong Eryue only said this, then suddenly turned around and left.
Li Ran called her again from behind, but failed to stop her.
When Li Ran saw this, he was a little confused about it. He didn't know why Gong Eryue was still a little bit repelled by him even to this day. Moreover, they had obviously lived and died together and shared hardships for a long time. He also knew that.
You can feel Gong Eryue's feelings for her.
"Perhaps...she always thinks that I am just looking for a substitute for myself...but...how should I talk to her about this matter?"
Li Ran couldn't help but think about it in his heart...
…
A few days later, Li Ran and his party were completely settled in Chengzhou.
During the day, Li Ran would also go to the collection room to work with Guan Cong.
Judging from these years, the work of collecting classics and notices from various countries has also been carried out very smoothly.
Although compared to what was lost before, it is less than one tenth, but even so it is hard-won.
On this day, Li Ran had half a day of free time and drank tea alone in the study.
Fan Li suddenly came to report that Dr. Zhou Dan Pian had suddenly rebelled! Moreover, he had led tens of thousands of troops to Chengyi, vowing to welcome the restoration of the prince's dynasty!
Li Ran couldn't help but be confused when he heard this.
"Dan Pian? Why have I never heard of this person? Where does this person come from?"
Fan Li said:
"Sir, what you don't know is that Dan Pian was part of the prince's dynasty back then, but he didn't show his prowess at that time. Therefore, he was not liquidated by Danqi. Now he suddenly rebelled, and it seems that he had planned it for a long time!
"
"It seems that we are about to kill Chengzhou right now..."
Li Ran squinted his eyes and thought about it for a long time, but still had no impression of this person, so he couldn't help but say:
"I never thought that I had just arrived in Luoyi for the first time, but I had unfortunately predicted the dangers of the prince's dynasty?"
"It's just... Chengzhou's strength now is even worse than before. Once we encounter such a military situation... I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with it!"
Fan Li sighed:
"What you said is absolutely true! Hey, I thought I could live a peaceful life for a few days in Chengzhou, but who would have thought that something like this would happen again!"
Li Ran thought for a while and then said:
"Young uncle, go and fetch Guan Cong."
Fan Li responded and left, leaving Li Ran alone in silence and couldn't help but sigh:
"The Prince Chaos Rebellion has indeed not come to an end yet..."
Guan Cong heard the call and came from the collection room. It happened that Gong Jian also came to Li Mansion at this time.
Gong Jian, who fought against the rebellion under Wang Shi, was once defeated by Li Ran. However, Li Ran thought of his loyalty and let him go.
Later, Li Ran was falsely accused and put under house arrest, and the Prince Dynasty was finally defeated. Gong Jian also repaid Li Ran and tried his best to save Li Ran's life under the pressure of Danqi.
The reason why Li Ran was not liquidated later was due to Gong Jian's contribution in addition to his own father's authority.
Moreover, now he is determined to carry out a series of reforms in the Zhou royal family, which can be regarded as abiding by the previous agreement with Li Ran.
Now, Dan Pian deliberately rebelled, and what happened suddenly was beyond his expectation.
As for Li Ran's invincibility, he had personally experienced it. Therefore, he came here in a hurry just to ask Li Ran about his strategies for fending off the enemy.
The three of them entered and sat down, but Li Ran only said:
"Dan Pian... I have no way of understanding this person. I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it for a while..."
Gong Jian pursed her lips and said:
"Before Dan Pian, he was a humble person and received great favor from the emperor. But he never thought that this person was actually a member of the prince's court! This time he led a group of hundreds of workers, which was said to have 20,000 to 30,000 people! And with the prince
Chao and Chu are echoing each other from a distance! I'm afraid that if he really comes to kill me, my Zhou family will be in chaos again!"
Li Ran couldn't help but ask:
"It's only 20,000 troops, which is not much at all. If you want to defend Luoyi, 20,000 troops are enough. Is it possible...can you not even get 20,000 troops now?"
Gong Jian said helplessly:
"Hey... just because I have been carrying out reforms in the Zhou Dynasty in these years, the number of soldiers in the royal territory is only four or five thousand. Even if the palace guards are included, the number is only seven or eight thousand..."
"It's just because the management of private soldiers in Wangji is very strict now. Even Lord Shan only has five thousand private soldiers in his fief, and most of them still stay in Shan's fief.
"
"Now Dan Pian leads 20,000 people to attack Chengzhou! It's really worrying..."
After hearing this, Li Ran only nodded and said:
"If this is the case... now we can only order people to stick to Chengzhou first, and leave an escape route so that the king can run away at any time to avoid disaster, use retreat to advance, and tire out the bandits."
When Gong Jian heard this, he lowered his head and sighed again:
"Well, what your lord said is absolutely true. Alas... I originally only thought about how to weaken the strength of the Shan and Liu families in order to achieve a balance. But I didn't expect that it would actually make the Zhou family even weaker! After all,
I am still not thinking carefully..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Ran replied and comforted him:
"Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to regret it. We must defeat Dan Pian first, and then we will talk about the rest. The doctor can ask Danqi to mobilize the troops in his fiefdom to block any changes from the Chu State as much as possible!
"
At this time, Guan Cong interrupted and said:
"Actually... when it comes to this matter, after all, the culprit is Wang Zichao! And now the Chu State is also in chaos. How about settling it once and for all and sending someone to assassinate him! Wouldn't it be more direct?"
Hearing this, Gong Jian couldn't help but hesitate again:
"On the Chu side... To be honest, I have respected the emperor's order and sent people to assassinate him... but I am not sure whether it will succeed."
When Guan Cong heard this, he couldn't help but sneered:
"I never thought that your Excellency would actually assist the Emperor in this deceitful way... Haha, it's really not appropriate, it's really not appropriate!"
Li Ran naturally understood what Guan Cong meant, but due to human feelings, Li Ran did not comment too much on this, and just continued to ask:
"Then...how is the emperor doing now?"
Gong Jian replied:
"Everything is fine, Your Majesty, but I am still worried about the princely dynasty."
Li Ran said:
"Let's go, then let's go on a tour of Luoyi!"
So Gong Jian immediately took Li Ran to inspect the city walls of Zhou Luoyi.
But he only saw half of it, but Li Ran couldn't help but frown and said nothing.
Seeing this, Gong Jian couldn't help but worry:
"What's wrong?"
Li Ran couldn't help but sigh:
"In addition to Wang Shi, the divisions that guard the capital are the private soldiers of Dan Qi and others. Although they are together, they still work independently. I am afraid that if a war breaks out, people will be divided and it will be difficult to win!"
