I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 124 The Spy's Viewpoint

The night is as deep as water, quiet and silent.

After the prince played ball in the manor all afternoon, he lived in Jishi's manor as a matter of course.

Of course, his entourage is now stationed on the official road outside the manor.Due to the large number of people, the entire manor has already been surrounded by water.

After playing for a day, he was a little tired. After taking a bath, Wang Ziwei entered the inner room again, and the servant next to him was about to change his clothes.

At this moment, Wang Ziwei said to a personal guard beside him:
"Go, Huan Guancong come to see me immediately."

The guard walked away with a "No", and after he changed his clothes, he walked out of the wing room alone.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in Chufu came to the door of the room under the guidance of the guards.

"Chen Guancong, pay homage to Ling Yin."

I saw this man with a handsome face and elegant temperament, with a short beard on his chin, he looked very energetic.

"Oh, Ziyu, come in."

Hearing Wang Ziwei's voice coming from the door, the man opened the door and entered the lobby.

Guan Cong, named Ziyu, the history of the collection room of Chu State, seems to be similar in nature to Li Ran's previous history of the collection room held by Zhou Wangji.

However, this collection room of Chu State is actually just a superficial name.Actually?This is the unique intelligence agency of Chu State.

And its main function is to collect information about other vassal states.

"Have you checked it out?"

The prince was half lying and half leaning, with two singers whose clothes were gradually getting wider, holding a cup of wine in his hand, with a happy expression on his face.

"Hui Lingyin, I have already found out."

It was only a few hours since Li Ran appeared on the official road to intercept them this morning.

But in these few hours, Guan Cong has already investigated the details of Li Ran's background.

"Li Ran, courtesy name Ziming, was born in Luoyi, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. He was the son of Li Er, the former governor of the Luoyi Tibetan Chamber. He entered the royal family of Zhou at the age of 15. He was quite close to the then Prince of Zhou, Ji Jin. The two shared similar interests and often talked by candlelight at night."

"However, just a few years ago, the Zhou royal family was in turmoil, and the whereabouts of Zhou's crown prince Jin was unknown. Li Ran was also forced to get involved in the battle for the crown prince and fled to Qufu. Then in Qufu, he fought against Ji Sunsu. At the meeting in Pingqiu, Jisunsu was detained in the state of Jin, and he became famous because of this."

"Later, because of Ji's pursuit, he had to flee to Zhengyi. He was appreciated by the Zichan doctor of Zheng Guo. He made contributions to the disease in Zheng Yi a few days ago. He was promoted as the chief minister, Hanhu, and became a pedestrian of Zheng Guo."

Guan Cong slowly told Li Ran's origin and experience word by word, and everything he said was true, without any mistakes or omissions.

The prince nodded when he heard the sound, waved his hand slightly, and the two beauties beside him took the initiative to retreat.

"Then, this person stopped us here, does Ziyu know what he intends to do?"

After the singer completely retreated, Wang Ziwei looked at it and asked.

He was very clear about the purpose of coming to Zhengyi.That is to co-operate with the inner ghost and draw Zheng Guo, who has taken refuge in Jin State for a long time, back to Chu State's camp again.

However, Li Ran's appearance now caught him unexpectedly.Therefore, he also had to be cautious.

Because he didn't know, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Zheng Guo?It is also not very clear what the current situation in Zhengyi City is.Moreover, the insiders in the city have not made any contact with him at all.

And this is the real reason why he has to stay here temporarily.

playing ball?It's just a blindfolded trick.

"I thought that this person intercepted me halfway, maybe... I didn't have any other ideas, but I just ran into it blindly, and then I was thinking about how to buy time for the children in the city."

There are not many words from Guan Cong, but it can be said to hit the nail on the head.

Wang Ziwei heard the sound and thought about it, suddenly realized.

"That's right! This person must have seen the clues of our trip at a glance, and deliberately intercepted it here, so as to gain time for Zichan to dispatch troops and stick to the city defense!"

"Hehe, with the strength of one person, he managed to inexplicably set up a group of suspicious soldiers, and forcibly stopped my two thousand troops here. This person can be considered a bit courageous, and he is indeed a talent."

It's true that Li Ran is courageous, but if it's true, it can only be said that Li Ran has no plans.Otherwise, if he was really unprepared, why would he dare to act so recklessly?
"Now this matter is not good, Ziyu, what do you think?"

Wang Ziwei asked with a slight frown.

"My humble opinion is that it is better to be still than to move at this time."

Guan Cong didn't say much, but it was to the point.

Wang Ziwei nodded and said:

"Well, yes."

"We don't know what the situation in Zhengyi is like now, and taking action rashly will only increase the risk."

"If you come here, you will be safe. I want to see what tricks this Li Ran can play."

Facing the unknown Zheng Yi, even if he had two thousand warriors, he did not dare to attack rashly at this time.

After all, he has no information with Feng Duan now, if the plan really changes, wouldn't his two thousand warriors be buried here in vain?
Yes, what he was worried about was the lives of the two thousand elite under his command, not the "major event" of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, the people of Chu have always been strong and powerful. Even a superpower like the Jin State has never been taken seriously by him, let alone the small Zheng State.

However, no matter what the considerations are, for Wang Ziwei, Zheng Yi may not be easily taken down now.

……

The next day, Wang Ziwei came to the golf course behind the manor again.

And Li Ran had been waiting here early in the morning.Seeing that the prince was approaching, he hurried forward to meet him and said:
"I have met Master Ling Yin, it seems that the Lord still has more fun? If that is the case, please be able to accompany me as an officer."

But who knows, Wang Ziwei came here today, but he didn't intend to play.He just waved his hand and directly refused:
"No, I won't play today."

"Oh?"

Li Ran was startled when he heard the sound.

Afterwards, Wang Ziwei continued to speak:
"I heard that Ziming once served as the history guard of the Zhou royal family in Luoyi?"

"Returning to my lord, I'm not talented. I'm a small official, not worth mentioning."

In fact, this is not Li Ran's humble speech. Whether it is keeping the history of the library or passing by, it is indeed not a big official.

Just like when Han Qi went to Yangtongyu's house to meet Li Ran in Jin State, he should have met Li Ran when he paid homage to the royal family of Zhou before, but what about after that?
How can such a small official and a small position like Han Qi remember?

"Hehe, you are too modest. Luoyi Collection Room, there are more than a million famous books, books, and ancient books in the world."

"Since you are keeping the history of the collection room, you must be knowledgeable about the past and the present. Now you are only a small pedestrian in Zheng Guo, isn't it an overkill?"

This is also a fact. Although the official position of the historian of the collection room is not very big, anyone who can take up the position of keeping the history of the collection room, in that era, would definitely not be able to do it without some talent.

Because, as a symbol of Zhou etiquette, the decorative function of this position is actually far greater than its essence.

While talking, Wang Ziwei cast a very different look at Li Ran.

"Hehe, Ling Yin was joking, but today all the heroes are rising together, and the princes are like a forest. How can this meager ability of yours come into the eyes of Lord Ling Yin?"
