I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 131 Wang Ziwei's Ambition
After the chaotic court meeting, Zi Chan, who had just come down from the court, told Li Ran about the matter in detail, and asked Li Ran to prepare in advance, and invited him to accompany him to the Jin Kingdom.

As for Li Ran, in fact, he had expected before that Wang Ziwei would never suffer such a dumb loss in secret.

Now it seems that it is really a prophecy.

Li Ran was also aware of this, and immediately returned to the priest's mansion and made arrangements. This time, he asked Chu Dang to accompany him to the Kingdom of Jin.

Originally, he planned to let Sun Wu go with him, but considering that Sun Wu had to train the newly recruited guards, and after all, this trip was to accompany Zichan on the road, and there was no danger in thinking about it, so he planned to only bring Chu Dang .

Ji Le heard about it, and originally planned to go together in a row.After all, this kind of work that can go out to "gain knowledge" is what she enjoys the most.

But his father Jixian was not at ease. Although he didn't know what was going on, his keen political sense reminded him again and again.The series of strange things that happened in Zheng Yi recently always gave him a bad premonition.

So, whatever she said, she had to stop her daughter, and she was not allowed to go with Li Ran.No matter how coquettish and shameless Jiyue is, it's useless.

And Li Ran also meant the same thing. After all, he had to pass through Guodi on his way to Jin this time, so the number of people couldn't be too many. If there were women accompanying him, it would be even more eye-catching.

"Don't worry, it's not the first time my husband has entered the Jin Dynasty, so nothing will happen."

"Besides, there is a doctor in childbirth as a guarantor, so no one would dare to do us any harm."

These days, Li Ran borrowed the power of the Ji clan to conduct a thorough investigation in Zhengyi, and found that the Ji clan of Lu State actually didn't have many properties in Zhengyi.

And there are less than a hundred people hiding in the city of Zhengyi. Although these people are scattered all over the city, Li Ran is still able to investigate their origins clearly.

He originally planned to take advantage of this time to deal with all these people.On the one hand, it was for tit-for-tat, after all, the old score between him and Ji Sun Yiru hadn't started to be settled yet!
Of course, on the other hand, if the hidden piles of the Lu Ji family can be cleaned up, the degree of infiltration of the dark forces into the Zheng country can also be greatly eased.

However, Wang Ziwei's operation was as fierce as a tiger, but it completely disrupted Li Ran's original plan.Therefore, he had to pause first.

"Hey, my husband finally got leisure, but now he has to travel far..."

Ji Le knew that she couldn't go with Li Ran this time, so she inevitably felt resentful.However, as a member of the Ji family, she still has this overall view after all.

Therefore, she didn't complain about the court, but she was reluctant to part with Li Ran.

"Then you have to be more careful along the way, and there should be no accidents."

Ji Le's eyes were full of concern.Hearing this, Li Ran looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he kissed her on the forehead.

"Don't worry, the good news is waiting for your husband."

After saying that, Li Ran turned around and left the house, and left with Chu Dang who was guarding the door.

……

At the gate of Zhengyi City, with the arrival of Li Ran, a team of more than ten people set off.

Of course, these ten people are just the number on the surface.If you count the secret sentries planted along the way, plus those arranged by Li Ran, there may be hundreds of people in total.

The convoy gradually drifted away, and the city wall of Zhengyi finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Ziming, don't you think it's a bit strange that Prince Wei suddenly held an alliance meeting this time?"

Inside the car, Zichan looked at Li Ran and asked.

The matter of the alliance meeting is not surprising in this era of frequent wars, but Wang Ziwei held the alliance meeting in the capacity of Yin of Chu State, which seemed very strange.

You must know that even the original Pingqiu meeting was initiated by Han Qi and the Marquis of Jin.Not only that, but the Marquis of Jin also went to Luoyi for a cutscene and made a pilgrimage to the Emperor Zhou.

Although the relationship between the state of Chu and the royal family of Zhou has always been bad, Wang Ziwei has never consulted King Jia Ao of Chu for instructions, and he did not call the alliance in the name of King Chu. Isn't his wolfish ambition clearly revealed?
"Back to the doctor, that day, when Ran stopped the Prince's convoy outside the city, he invited Chu Lingyin to stay in my Jishi Manor for a night."

"However, I think Prince Yin, Prince of Chu Ling, is unpredictable, good at forbearance, and ambitious, and he is by no means easy to deal with."

Li Ran cupped his hands, and responded with a straight face.

"Oh? Ziming means...?"

Zichan made a thoughtful look.At this moment, Li Ran continued to analyze:

"This time, Wang Ziwei came to Zhengyi to greet his relatives on the surface, but his real purpose can be said to be revealed."

"Fortunately, God bless Zheng Yi, and he was safe."

"But this matter is a blessing for us, but it is definitely not a good thing for Wang Ziwei."

"He personally led two thousand warriors to come here this time, but he has not achieved an inch. If he returns to Chu State, his reputation as Lingyin of Chu State will be greatly reduced, and his reputation will definitely be damaged."

"So, if he doesn't do something to save one or two, I'm afraid that with his character, he will never let it go."

"And now there is obviously a reason for trying to hold an alliance meeting in vain."

In fact, Li Ran immediately thought of this when he heard that Wang Ziwei wanted to hold an alliance meeting in Guodi.

Wang Ziwei has always been domineering, and he always wants to gain in everything. This time, Zheng not only got nothing, but was also disgraced by Li Ran and Zichan.

If he just returned to the state of Chu like this, where would he put the face of the majestic Ling Yin of the state of Chu?

However, if he can successfully convene an alliance meeting in Guodi this time, and shape Chu State into a co-lord with Jin State to rule the world, then the prestige of his Prince Siege can be imagined.

Speaking of this, another purpose of Prince Chu's siege is ready to come out.And this most important purpose is not only known by Li Ran, but also by Zichan.

Sure enough, when his voice fell, Zichan only nodded slightly, then slowly stroked his beard and said:
"Prince Wei ruled the country with hegemony, and now the Chu State only knows Ling Yin but not the King of Chu. If Prince Wei can successfully overtake the monarch and convene an alliance, the situation in Chu State will be very good..."

"At that time, won't he, Wang Ziwei, be able to do whatever he wants?"

As soon as his voice fell, a sharpness flashed in his eyes.

He has been in power for many years, and he is naturally very sensitive to this political situation. Coupled with the ambition revealed by Wang Ziwei's convening of the alliance this time, how could he fail to guess Wang Ziwei's real intention?
Calling the alliance is false, but trying to kill the king and usurp the throne is true, right?
Hearing the sound, Li Ran immediately nodded without hesitation and said:
"Doctor Mingjian, Wang Ziwei's move is probably exactly what he meant!"
