Guan Cong suddenly remembered something and stepped forward to pull the reins.
"My lord, there is one more thing! The leader mentioned by the Yue people was most likely to be Shu Niu!"
Li Ran said in surprise:
"Oh? Is it him?"
Guan Cong nodded and said:
"Well, my lord used Gao Qiang to instigate a relationship between Tian Qi and Shu Niu last time. But Tian Qi was not easily fooled. Although he no longer trusted Shu Niu, he just drove him away from Qi. After that, Shu Niu
His whereabouts are unknown, although I don’t know where he is now, but thinking about it, it is most likely that he is going to the Kingdom of Wu and the Kingdom of Yue!"
"And Sun Changqing is now in the Kingdom of Wu, so he doesn't dare to go! So he most likely defected to the Kingdom of Yue, and he hates his lord with all his heart, so the lord must be careful during this trip! The King of Yue
Although Gou Jian said he was 'inviting' the lord to go, he was not sincere after all! Plus, with the bull standing by his side, I'm afraid it would be detrimental to the lord!"
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and murmured:
"This son is a disaster for the world and does all kinds of evil! In order to gain the position of the leader of the Ji family, he even harmed the lives of his own father and brothers! Now he wants to do it again. Such a rebellious and unscrupulous person is really a problem for everyone.
Kill him as he deserves!"
Speaking of this, Li Ran couldn't help but think of the Great Fire of the Four Kingdoms. This kind of person can even kill his own father and brothers to achieve his goal. Is there anything in the world that he can't do?
Guan Cong also says:
"This son is crazy and crazy. Now he is jealous of Tian Qi. To show his loyalty, he will do anything to show his loyalty! Moreover, he and the lord have a deep hatred. The lord must be careful when he goes there this time!"
Li Ran nodded and said with a cupped hand on the horse:
"I understand... Ziyu, let's say goodbye then. See you later!"
Li Ran said goodbye to Guan Cong, and then he and Fan Li and Chudang rode separately, prepared three empty horses, and left Juechen.
Shan Qi and Liu Di, who were not far away, also witnessed all this.
Shan Qi even said proudly:
"Haha, look, what do you say? Even if this son is favored by the emperor again, it will be difficult for him to stay in Chengzhou! The tree is so big that it attracts the wind! With his current status, how can he live here peacefully? And
After he leaves, and in the following weeks, doesn’t it mean that politics still comes from you and me?!”
Liu Di smiled and said:
"What Doctor Shan said is true. Doctor Shan is far-sighted! It's Liu who is impatient!"
Dan Qi stroked his beard and sneered again:
"Since Zhao Yang wants to respect the king now, and the royal family will fall into our hands sooner or later, so... why should we rush for success? Now that Li Ran's daughter has disappeared, the matter has become known to the whole world. Why don't we take this opportunity to speak out?
Is Li Ran abandoning the Zhou Dynasty and never coming back?! At that time, I will have to see how General Wang will deal with himself!"
After Liu Di heard this, he couldn't help but said sincerely:
"Haha, Master Shan, this move is very clever! As long as you can hold the emperor in your arms and respect yourself, you won't be afraid of Zhao Yang in the future!"
Shan Qi smiled slightly and felt very good.
…
Li Ran and the others worked hard to search for traces along the way, but unfortunately they didn't find any clues from the wild people.
The three of them chased until night, but Li Ran still wanted to continue walking on the starry night, but at this moment, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. This shocked Chu Dang and Fan Li.
With this mouthful of blood spitting out, Li Ran was even more convinced that his time was indeed running out, but he was also more anxious. He wanted to ignore it and continue on his way, but seeing this situation, Fan Li forcibly tied up the horse.
Help Li Ran to sit down.
Just because the incident happened suddenly, the three of them had not made any detailed arrangements, so they are now in the wilderness with no village in front or behind.
It was late at night at this time, and thanks to the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Chu Dang found a lot of firewood everywhere to make a fire.
Fan Li always stayed by Li Ran's side, fearing that something might happen to him again.
"Sir, please take a rest tonight. You can't do this again, sir! Otherwise, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it!"
Li Ran said anxiously:
"Young uncle, I feel that my time is running out, so... I must hurry up to rescue Le'er and Guang'er!"
Fan Li didn't understand why Li Ran said this, so he could only continue to persuade:
"No matter what, sir, I'm afraid even Kuaiji Mountain won't be able to survive in this situation. How will we save people then?"
Li Ran also knew that Fan Li was right, so he couldn't help but sigh:
"Then take a short rest and continue on your way tomorrow morning!"
Chu Dang made a bonfire and each of them ate some dry food.
Guancong knew that Li Ran was going to travel a long distance, so he prepared a lot of dry food and even some dried meat for them, which was extremely thoughtful.
Fan Li scooped some water out of an earthen pot, put it on the fire to heat, and the three of them drank it. After eating and drinking, Li Ran sat in front of the fire, looking at the flames, and his thoughts were flooded...
Before I knew it, it was already late at night.
But seeing that Chu Dang had already turned his back, covered himself with a thatch felt, and fell asleep snoring.
Li Ran couldn't sleep, so he just wrapped himself in a felt and stared at the bonfire in a daze.
Fan Li knew that Li Ran's body would definitely not be able to survive like this, so he said with concern:
"Sir, please rest early so that you can continue your journey tomorrow!"
Li Ran glanced at Fan Li, but remained speechless. In fact, he didn't know Fan Li's feelings for Guang'er, and he must be very anxious now.
I heard Fan Li let out a long sigh and said worriedly:
"I used to think that the King of Yue wanted to use Guang'er to blackmail Mr. Li, but when Li heard what brother Ziyu said during the day, he felt very uneasy... If... Shu Niu was really involved, then their real purpose... I'm afraid...
It’s hard to say!”
Li Ran nodded and said sadly:
"Standing up the cow...is really a serious problem!"
Fan Li continued to ask:
"Sir, if Guang'er and his wife have already arrived in Yue, what should we do?"
Li Ran helplessly replied:
"If that's the case... we can only go and meet the Yue King for a while!"
Fan Li sighed:
"If the King of Yue is still trying to get Mr. Wang to do things for him, he may not be able to escape once he meets the King of Yue! Moreover, according to reports, Sun Changqing's army has surrounded the King of Yue on Kuaiji Mountain. The King of Yue sees that the situation is over, I'm afraid..."
When Li Ran heard this, there was another moment of silence.
In fact, he had already made up his mind at this time. As long as he could see Ji Le and Li Guang and allow them to leave safely, he was prepared to stay on Kuaiji Mountain.
Anyway, he doesn't have much time left, so what does it matter to him?
"Don't worry about King Goujian of Yue. I...I'm just worried that I won't be able to hold on to Mount Kuaiji!"
Fan Li said:
"Sir, he has just recovered from a serious illness, and he should have a good life and recuperate. But... the situation is urgent now, and it is really embarrassing... Li actually has an idea, it is better for me to go first, and sir and Chu Dang can go slowly behind.
!”
Li Ran shook his head decisively and said:
"That's not necessary. Now that time is running out, we'd better do everything as quickly as possible!"
Li Ran took another look at the inexplicable digital countdown and said to himself:
"It will be okay. There are still twenty-seven days, which is enough..."
After Li Ran finished speaking, he also closed his eyes...
Just when Fan Li was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a rustling sound. Fortunately, Fan Li didn't sleep deeply, so he immediately grabbed the sword beside him.
Suddenly, several rays of cold light appeared and shot towards Li Ran rapidly!
