I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Li Ran's worry and gloom, Ji Le only used a very concise sentence to explain it directly.

This also made Li Ran have to admit that he was always worried about Chu State.

The group of people traveled slowly and leisurely for five days, and then they arrived at a pass that cannot be bypassed, called Biyang Pass.

Because of successive years of war, the King of Chu has deployed guards at various passes in the hinterland of Chu State, but he has already transferred the elite of Chu State to Qianxi.Therefore, the number of defenders at various passes is not too large.

Li Ran led the crowd to the front of the pass.

"Stop! Who is coming!"

Before Li Ran could speak, the guard at the pass gate waved his halberd to stop Li Ran's car.

After Li Ran got out of the car, he reported his family name, the gate guard heard that the person in front of him was actually Li Ran, they immediately looked at each other, respectful, and rushed to meet him.

"Lucky everyone, Mr. Li's schedule is in a hurry, so he only prepared a few small gifts, which are not respectful."

Because there is no clearance document, Li Ran can only use this method.

But he didn't expect that these defenders of the Chu state would not accept this, and rejected Li Ran's kindness without even thinking about it.

Afterwards, a guard heard the news, and slowly walked out of the pass, and bowed in front of Li Ran:
"Mr.'s name is like a thunderbolt. It's a great honor to meet you today!"

"However, sir is not in Qianxi at the moment, so where are you going?"

The front line is preparing for war, and Li Ran, who is a guest minister, suddenly came here at this time. How can the Chu army not be confused?

Li Ran heard the sound and immediately said:
"However, I am not from Chu. I have been in Chu for nearly three years, and I have been feeling homesick recently, so I passed this pass in order to return temporarily. I would like to ask the general to make it easier."

Of course he couldn't say that he wanted to leave because he had a conflict with King Chu.

It's just that even if he said so, the guard still had a look of disapproval.

Just listen to him:

"Sir, since you are the guest of the widowed monarch, and he is used by the widowed monarch, it stands to reason that the villain would not dare to stop him."

"It's just that, after all, the gentleman has a noble status, but the last general has not received any edict, so how dare he let him go?"

"Please wait a moment, sir. If you finally get the imperial edict, how about letting you pass the test at that time?"

As soon as these words came out, the defenders all around took a step forward calmly.

Obviously, they didn't intend to let Li Ran pass the test.

"Why is it so troublesome? If the King of Chu hadn't let him go, how would Li dare to come here alone? Doesn't the general understand such a simple truth?"

"Besides, since Li has made contributions to the state of Chu, today he just wants to go back to his hometown alone, but you are here to stop him. Isn't it tantamount to revenge?"

Seeing their attitude, Li Ran knew in his heart that it would be impossible not to speak harshly.

And when his words fell, except for the guard, the other guards all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Of course they didn't know what kind of agreement was reached between King Chu and Li Ran, so they couldn't verify what Li Ran said.

However, if they really embarrass the distinguished guests of the King of Chu, how can they bear such a big hat?
"Sir, you don't need to scare me here. The general is just following orders. If there is no customs clearance order, you can't let him go. If you don't do things well and offend you, please forgive me."

As the general guarding the pass, at this time he showed his toughness as a Chu person.

It doesn't matter what contribution you, Li Ran, have made to Chu State, or who you are, anyway, I didn't receive the order, so I just won't let you go!
Li Ran, who heard this, was so angry at the time.

Fortunately, Lao Tzu worked so hard to provide advice and efforts for your Chu country, but in the end did he end up like this?
White-eyed wolf is not as ungrateful as you are, is he?

"gentlemen……"

At this time, Sun Wu came to Li Ran's side, his hand was already tightly grasping the hilt of his waist.

Li Ran signaled him not to move rashly, took a deep breath, looked at the guard and said:

"Li came from Qianxi, and the king never stopped him along the way. How dare you stop him here?"

"Aren't you afraid that Mr. Li will tell the King of Chu about this matter after returning home, and then ask you about the crime?"

Li Ran felt that it was better not to fight. It wasn't that he had no plans, but if there was a real fight, it would cause a big commotion.

As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.

Not doing anything is completely out of consideration for the face of the King of Chu.

"No matter what Mister says, it's a time of war, if there is no order from the King, Mister might not be able to pass this test today!"

The guard made up his mind and insisted not to let Li Ran pass the test. This stubborn attitude really fits perfectly with Chu people's personality.

Hearing this, Li Ran suddenly lost his temper.

He knew that if he wanted to pass the test, it was obviously impossible to rely on his mouth alone.

So, he had no choice but to look at Sun Wu.

All that needs to be said has been said, if you can't solve it with your mouth, you can only do it with your hands.

At this time, Chu Dang also came to Li Ran's side, and it seemed that he also planned to show his hand.

But Li Ran waved his hand to signal him to return to the carriage. After all, the safety of Jiyue was the most important thing.

Chu Dang retreated aggrieved.

"General... really don't intend to let him go?"

Li Ran squinted, and finally asked the guard coldly.

The guard was speechless for a while, because he also saw Li Ran's plan, and silently drew his sword out of its sheath, and dozens of guards behind the city were all facing each other with spears and halberds.

Sun Wu stepped forward and stood in front of Li Ran.

Then, suddenly from both sides of the official road, more than a hundred guards rushed out from the grass.

It turned out that this was an ambush set by Li Ran in advance.

"Sir, think about it clearly, forcibly breaking through the barrier is a capital offense!"

When the guard saw this situation, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and his voice trembled involuntarily when he spoke.

However, Li Ran had nothing to say, he just waved his hand to signal Sun Wu to do it.

With a low shout, Sun Wu led the guards and rushed forward immediately.

I saw Sun Wu took the lead, and the sword light flashed, and the guards screamed suddenly, but Sun Wu also kept his hand, and he didn't kill them with a single blow, but only made them lose their mobility temporarily.

The guard slanted out from the side, and the sword pointed directly at Sun Wu.

Of course he didn't dare to do anything to Li Ran. After all, Li Ran was still the King of Chu's guest. If something happened to Li Ran, would he use his own head to explain to the King of Chu?

Therefore, he can only deal with Sun Wu.

However, he obviously underestimated Sun Wu's strength.

As soon as the two fought, he was overwhelmed by Sun Wu's stormy moves.

In addition, the guards trained by Sun Wu himself were all elites with high means, and they controlled all the guards in a short time.

Seeing this, the soldiers inside the pass knew that they couldn't resist, so they could only stand in front of the pass and confront them without daring to make a move.

Therefore, the entire conflict can be said to have shown a one-sided situation from the beginning.

Sun Wu turned around and stabbed the general's arm with a sword, stretched out his hand, and the long sword in the general's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Quickly let me go out!"

The next moment, Sun Wu's sword had already rested on the neck of the general.
