After everyone got off the boat, Li Ran first asked Ji Le to dress up as a man.
Sun Wu, on the other hand, immediately entered the Chinese army camp to report the news of Li Ran's visit to the Kingdom of Wu to the King of Wu.
Sure enough, after a short while, King Wu immediately sent people to set up a battle array and came to greet him personally:
"Ah! Mr. Ziming! I have admired you for a long time! I am so lucky to have come to my country of Wu today!"
No matter how headstrong Wu Wang Fu Chai was, he still had to treat Li Ran with courtesy.
But seeing Li Ran, he just smiled lightly and said:
"Your Majesty, you are so flattering! It was Li Ran who took the liberty today... came to Wu Camp and disturbed your Majesty, please forgive me!"
King Wu stepped forward, turned around and waved his hand, and directly invited Li Ran and his entourage into the Chinese army's tent. He immediately ordered someone to offer a cup of fresh fruit and wine as a courtesy.
When Li Ran entered the big tent, he immediately looked around and found that Liguang was not there. He couldn't help but feel relieved.
When everyone was seated at the table, King Wu immediately ordered the dancing girls to enter the tent to sing and dance to add to the fun.
For a moment, only a group of dancers could be seen entering the tent and dancing amid the music outside the tent.
Li Ran looked around again and saw that Li Guang was still missing, but Li Ran was convinced of this.
King Wu was indeed very elegant. After the singing and dancing ended, he turned around and said to Li Ran:
"Haha, it is said that Mr. Ziming is quite knowledgeable about music, but I wonder what he thinks of this dance music?"
Li Ran smiled slightly and replied directly:
"People in the Central Plains often say that Wuyue is a barbaric land, but they never thought that it could have such elegant music. It seems... what the king has planned is very big?!"
When King Wu Fu Chai heard this, he couldn't help but be startled and asked:
"Oh? How do you know this, sir?"
Li Ran raised his hand and replied loudly:
"In the past, there was a prince named Ji Zha in the Kingdom of Wu. It was said that he could discern the sounds of the world, and everyone in the world regarded him as a virtuous one. Your Majesty, now imitates the former prince, loves rituals and music, and promotes royal affairs. Isn't his goal... big?"
When King Wu's husband heard about it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed:
"Hahaha! Although I have never met Mr. Gu before, I never thought that Mr. Gu could be said to be Gu's close friend!"
"To be honest, I have been trying to establish a king for a long time! But I have no choice but to have no good strategy. I heard that your husband is a talented person who is the king's assistant, and now he is also known as the 'Su Wang'. I wonder if you are willing to give me some advice today?"
As Wu Wangfu Chai spoke, he looked at Li Ran expectantly.
Li Ran raised the wine cup slightly and smiled:
"Your Majesty may be unaware of something. Although Li Mouping has some small plans, he still cannot understand the affairs of the world. Therefore, it is inevitable that he will resort to the art of divination."
"If your Majesty is interested, how about I write a hexagram for Your Majesty?"
King Wu's husband heard what Li Ran said, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. However, he also knew that Li Ran was well-known and his ability made him believe it.
Therefore, King Wu Fu Chai couldn't help but replied immediately:
"Okay! Then... let me ask you, sir, to do the Gu Xun Gua for you!"
Immediately, Li Ran bowed in agreement, took out a handful of yarrow from his sleeve, and started playing with it in a stylish way.
But this scene also made Fan Li, Sun Wu and others dumbfounded.
After all, they followed Li Ran, but they had never seen such a weird scene. Because in their understanding, Li Ran was clearly a person who never "occupies" things. He would never regard things like fate and future as his own.
, into a handful of yarrow.
But it didn't take long. Li Ran coughed a few more times, then pretended to say:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, I have obtained the hexagram "Kun" today. The hexagram says 'good luck for you, sir'. It can be seen that it is a good omen!"
When King Wu Fu Chai heard this, he couldn't help but be elated and laughed:
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay! God help me!"
At this moment, Li Ran spoke again:
"However... although your Majesty is the king of divination, there is another image in the hexagram. I don't know... whether it can be verified."
But at this time, King Wu Fu Chai was already so happy that he waved his hand and said generously:
"Oh? I don't know what it means, sir, but it doesn't matter!"
Li Ran raised his hand again and said loudly:
"The hexagram indicates that the king may get a strange woman in the near future! But I don't know if it will be confirmed?"
Ji Le and Fan Li couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing this. Obviously, the "wonderful woman" Li Ran mentioned was none other than Liguang! Therefore, they had no idea what Li Ran's plans were at this moment.
When King Wu heard what Li Ran said, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but ask:
"Oh? What does the gentleman mean...?"
Li Ran smiled slightly and explained to him:
"Now I have obtained the "Da Guo" hexagram of "Kun". For "Kun", the main hexagram is a middle man, and the guest hexagram is a girl. This is a sign that the master will get a girl, and the girl will get a big position! But... Li once heard that the king
Because he is determined to enmity his father, he has never welcomed the daughter of another country's royal family to become a queen, so... I don't know whether this hexagram will be tested?"
In fact, Li Ran's words gave King Wu a step up.
Because according to custom, after the new king ascends the throne, he should marry the daughter of the royal family from other princes.
However, King Wu Fu Chai has been on the throne for almost three years now, but he has not yet welcomed any daughter of a prince. This was quite a shameful thing at that time.
It was only because King Wu Fu Chai was so arrogant and headstrong that no princes in the world dared to get close to him.
But now this "slap in the face" act, in Li Ran's words, turned out to be an unwavering ambition to avenge his father.
Obviously, Li Ran's words really gave Fu Cha an excellent step forward.
Therefore, when King Wu Fu Chai heard this, he immediately replied:
"Ah, yes! What you said is true!"
Li Ran then sneered again and said:
"Now that I have obtained the "Trapped" hexagram, my majesty, I am afraid that good things are about to happen, but I don't know... where is this woman now?"
When King Wu Fu Chai heard this question, he suddenly looked embarrassed and couldn't help but glance at the doctor Bo Pu. But Bo Pu shook his head slightly to show his denial.
Obviously, many people around Bo Chu had heard about Bo Chu sending beauties to King Gou Jian of Yue. However, only Bo Chu and him knew how King Wu would deal with these women and where they came from.
You know it yourself.
Then, King Wu Fu Chai turned to Li Ran again, cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Haha, I really can't hide it from you sir... Gu recently got a daughter. This girl is a girl from the Zheng Kingdom. Her name is Yi Guang. She is quite colorful. Gu... likes her very much. So I am preparing to make her my queen.
"
"It's just... this matter has not been known to outsiders. How did you learn about it, sir?"
It is obvious that the "daughter Yiguang of Zheng" mentioned by King Wu Fucha is Li Ran's daughter Liguang.
When Ji Le heard about her daughter, she couldn't help but feel excited. However, Li Ran secretly held her hand, apparently asking her to calm down.
At this time, Li Ran said again:
"Haha, this is what the hexagram shows. How can Li be a prophet of the future?"
But in the blink of an eye, Li Ran sighed again, shook his head pretendingly, and said:
"pity……"
When King Wu Fu Chai saw this, he couldn't help but be filled with doubts:
"Sir, how can you say it's a pity? Is there anything else you can say?"
Li Ran couldn't help but nodded and continued:
"Well...it's just because the hexagram that the king made is auspicious, but...it contains a mixture of good and bad luck!"
