I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 529 Chapter 634 Chapter 635

The two sat face to face, and Li Ran joked with Si Chi:
"Hehe, Si Gongzheng is really leisurely now!"

Si Chi also smiled at him, and clasped his hands in reply:

"Hehe, because two years ago, Chi and Gong Ruoxiao had disagreements in their ambitions, so they had to leave Liyi and live in seclusion here. If you say it's leisurely, it's a bit of a steal."

After that, Si Chi cast his eyes on Gong Eryue outside the house, and then smiled again:
"But compared to Mr. Ziming, Chi is still inferior!"

Li Ran raised his eyebrows and said involuntarily:
"Oh? Why did Master Sigong make such a statement?"

Si Chi said calmly:
"I have heard of Mr. Ziming's name for a long time, but he enjoys the tranquility alone in that apricot grove. He is no more than a mere engineer. After the construction of Liyi, he has achieved fame and success, and those who should go into seclusion will also go into seclusion. But like Mr. Ziming , retreating bravely in such a torrent is something ordinary people can't do!"

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help laughing:

"Hehe, isn't Si Gongzheng accusing me of this?"

Si Chi shook his head:

"That's not true. People have their own aspirations. Since the master makes such a choice, how can I dare to criticize the master?"

After the two exchanged pleasantries like this for a while, Li Ran suddenly sat up and said:
"Does the engineer know the current situation in the Lu country?"

Si Chi heard the words, but he was noncommittal about it, and only said:

"I don't know, Chi just lived here in seclusion all these years, farming and raising vegetables, but it's quite leisurely, and he didn't intend to let those things disturb his mind again?"

Although Li Ran was introduced by Guan Cong, he knew that there was such a number one person in Liyi before.

And Guan Cong also strongly recommended this person in his letter, speaking of this person is quite righteous, and the relationship with Hou Zuo is also extremely close, which should be of great use.

But Li Ran didn't know this person well, so it was inconvenient to talk to him for a while, so he said:

"Since ancient times, those who can achieve great things are often poor people. Hasn't the engineer heard the story of Doctor Wudan and Zheng Shangxiangao?"

Li Ran's so-called doctor of five is Bailixi, who was originally a doctor of the state of Yu. Later, the state of Jin used the way of the state of Yu to attack the state of Guo, and it also destroyed the state of Yu. suffering.

Later, Duke Mu of Qin redeemed Baili Xi from the state of Chu with five sheepskins, and worshiped him as a senior official.Therefore, he was called the doctor of Wuyi, and Baili Xi also lived up to the expectations of everyone. He cultivated the state affairs internally, educated the world, and benefited the people, so that Qin Mugong was able to "dominate Xirong" in the end!
And Zheng Shang Xiangao is actually related to Qin Mugong.At that time, in order to be able to compete in the Central Plains, Qin Mugong planned to take the Weihan way and surprise Zheng Guo.

However, his whereabouts were known in advance by Zheng Shang Xiangao, who pretended to reward Master Qin in the name of Zheng Guo at the price of four cowhide and a dozen cows.

Duke Mu of Qin wanted to sneak attack, but when he found that Zheng Guo was prepared, he simply gave up the attack.

To say that the two of them were originally so-called poor people, but in the end they both made immortal achievements, so that they were able to shine in the annals of history in the end.

Obviously, when Li Ran said that, he was comparing Si Chi with them.

Si Chi heard the words, but smiled, and shook his head and said:

"Baili Xi is a talent of the state, how can Chi be compared? And Xiangao is rich in wealth, which is not comparable to Chi. Chi has only worked as an engineer in Liyi. If you want to build a city, Chi can still do it. When it comes to other talents, how dare Chi compare with the two of them!?"

Li Ran laughed again:
"Master Si's words are true, and it is too modest. It is rumored that Master Si was the engineer of Liyi and was responsible for the construction of Liyi. The grace of knowledge and the righteousness of the country!"

"It's just... But in the end, Liyi was stolen by Gong Ruomiao, so Master Si left in anger at that time! This righteousness is really admirable!"

While listening, Si Chi looked at Li Ran with a smile on his lips.

"Although Mr. Ziming lives deep in the apricot forest, he is not really retreating here! Such a trivial matter, Mr. can see clearly, I am really ashamed, ashamed!"

At this time, Gong Eryue knocked on the door and poured a cup of water for Li Ran and Si Chi.

I only heard that Si Chi was looking at Shui Ti while asking Li Ran:
"I don't know why sir is looking for Chi today?"

Li Ran picked up the glass of water and couldn't help asking:
"Oh? Didn't Ziyu mention it to Your Excellency?"

Si Chi was silent for a while, then said:

"Ziyu has already sent a letter before, saying that Liyi is now under the control of the Marquis, but Sanhuan and Qi Shi can't attack it for a long time."

"Ziyu is an old friend of Chi, and this matter is beneficial to the world, so he should have helped. However, Chi and Hou Zuo have been colleagues for many years, and they are also close friends. Therefore... this matter is against the righteousness of friends after all!"

Li Ran heard the words, but smiled slightly, and said:
"Hehe, although your Excellency knows small righteousness, you are afraid of losing big righteousness!"

When Si Chi heard this, he couldn't help being startled:
"Oh? Why did Mr. Ziming make such a statement? Chi Yuan listens attentively!"

Then, Li Ran said again:

"Since the engineer said so, then he should say it clearly. In fact, the trouble in Liyi is not only the trouble of the uncle Sun, but the trouble of the people of the world!"

"Now Liyi is a big city, and it was built by Your Excellency. This city is really indestructible. The Marquis will take over the city and rebel with his Ma Zhengzhi. Will follow suit."

"At that time, the world will be in chaos. Isn't it the fault of the engineer? At that time, the country of Lu will be in great trouble again. How can the engineer return here leisurely and secluded?"

After listening to Li Ran's words, Si Chi was stunned for a long time, and then said:
"Sir, Chi already understands... Chi's thoughts are all contained in the last four lines of 'Yang Zhi Shui'!"

When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but smile with relief, because he knew that Si Chi had already agreed to this matter.

The so-called last four sentences of "Yangzhishui" are: "Yangzhishui is sparkling with white stones. I heard that there is a destiny, so I dare not tell others."

This means: In fact, I know everything, and I am ready to do it, but I dare not tell others.

Afterwards, Li Ran bowed deeply again, and said:
"Since that's the case, everything about Liyi depends on Your Excellency!"

Si Chi also bowed to return the gift...

Suddenly, Si Chi got up abruptly and pulled out a blunt weapon from the house.

Seeing this, Gong Eryue suddenly drew her sword and stepped forward to protect Li Ran's side.

Seeing this, Si Chi grinned.

Afterwards, he shouted again!He actually took a blunt weapon and hit his knee directly!
Then suddenly fell to the ground again, and the entire left leg was crippled!
This scene directly shocked Gong Eryue:

"Sir!...he...why did he kill himself?!"

Li Ran also stood there in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"People in "Ming Yi" cut down on the left thigh, use it to save the horse!... You are really a righteous man!"
At this time, Si Chi, who fell to the ground, staggered up with one leg again, and said:
"Chi... was built in Liyi, and was not tolerated by the Lu people, so he was injured on his left thigh. Today, Chi and his family defected to Liyi. When the marquis saw me like this, and came with his family, there will be no suspicion!"

Li Ran was also very moved when he heard this, and bowed to Si Chi again.

In this era, scholars die for their confidantes, or serve their country, even if it takes the lives of the whole family, they are not hesitating.

Of course, Li Ran couldn't understand it at first, because he asked himself, he couldn't do it himself.

However, when he was really in this era, he had to feel awe of such "benevolent deeds".

Chapter 635

After some conversation, Li Ran got up and said goodbye to Si Chi.

Before leaving, Li Ran took out another three kits from his cuff.And gave it to Si Chi:

"After Mr. Si enters Liyi, he can act according to this plan. When he arrives in Liyi, he will take apart the first one. After arriving in Qi, he will take apart the second one. After returning to Liyi, he will take apart the third one."

Si Chi bowed and took the kit, and said:
"No! Si Chi, please remember."

Afterwards, Li Ran resigned from Si Chi with Gong Eryue and left.

The two hadn't walked a few steps, but Gong Eryue suddenly said:

"Sir, a man like him...is really intimidating!"

Li Ran was taken aback:
"Is it because he has the courage to fold himself?"

Gong Eryue said:
"Not really. This move is just admirable, but not intimidating. It's just that he is going to take the whole family to Liyi. If he is found out, won't the family members who are involved directly suffer together?"

"If it were me... I wouldn't let my relatives take such a big risk with me!"

Li Ran nodded, and said calmly:

"Well, I won't do this either! But I can understand that there are always some people in this world who are unique. And such things are not rare!"

For example, when Zhuan Zhu assassinated King Liao of Wu, his mother chose to hang herself to make Zhuan Zhu concentrate on accomplishing the task.And this kind of thing that is difficult to understand in later generations is regarded as righteousness in this world.

Gong Eryue smacked her lips and said with disdain:
"No matter what, you can't let your relatives get involved!"

While Li Ran and Gong Eryue were talking, they made a detour to the city and went to discuss with Kong Qiu by the way.

……

That night, Si Chi took his wife and children in a chariot and went straight to Liyi.

At this time, Liyi, after successive attacks by Sanhuan and Qi, is now resting and recuperating.

Originally, it might not be so easy for other people to say that they want to rush into the city.But Si Chi is considered an old face in Lieyi. He has held the position of Gongzheng in Liyi for more than 20 years.

The guard recognized him at a glance, and he couldn't help being taken aback when he saw that Gong was coming back.

Ben was still a little hesitant, but seeing that he had brought his family with him, he didn't think much about it, and put him in the city.

Following Li Ran's instructions, Si Chi opened the first kit and took a look, and couldn't help but understand it.

Afterwards, Si Chi's family came to Yifu to visit Hou Peng.

At this time, Hou criminal had already been reported, saying that Si Chi and his family had returned to Yiyi, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately met him in person.

Hou Fang has worked really hard these days. In order to resist the army's attack on the city several times, he can hardly sleep.

And this hard work, but no one can talk about it, he and Li Luozi can't confide in each other, and they just use each other with their uncles and grandsons.

But now, seeing his friends from back then vote, he is of course overjoyed.

But seeing Si Chi limping in, Hou Peng ran forward, held Si Chi's arm with both hands, and led him into the house, saying:

"Brother Si! I haven't seen you for many years! How did you become like this?"

Si Chi let out a long sigh:
"Hey... just because the Si Chi Governor built Liyi, it cannot be tolerated by the people of Lu now, and the gangster broke into the house suddenly the night before, and broke my leg in the unreasonable trouble... Chi had nowhere to go, so he had to vote with his family! "

When Hou criminal heard this, he couldn't help but be full of indignation:
"Hmph! It's too much for Lu people to treat you like this! Brother Chi, don't worry, now that you have come to Liyi, I will protect you for you!"

Si Chi accepted his love and couldn't help laughing at it.

Afterwards, Si Chi ordered his wife and son to meet Hou Criminal one after another, and Hou Criminal also ordered his wife and children to live in a separate courtyard in Yifu.

Afterwards, Hou Zuo took advantage of the landlord's friendship again, and set up a table of wine and food, and the two sat opposite each other.

But because Si Chi had just broken a leg, it was inconvenient to sit on his knees, so Hou Zuo only asked him to sit cross-legged without being restrained.

After drinking for three rounds, Si Chi opened his mouth and said:

"The city of Liyi is said to be as solid as gold, but this time Brother Zong actually used the soldiers and civilians of Liyi to resist Lu Qi's tens of thousands of troops! It can be said to be good at defending!"

When Hou criminal heard this, he couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"Hehe, it's just trying to support it. Hey, I don't want to hide it from Brother Chi. The troops in the city are limited after all. How long they can actually support it is not yet known!"

While talking, Hou Zuo drank the fine wine in one gulp, with a sad expression on his face.

Si Chi sighed for a while, and then asked directly:
"Then... brother criminal, have you ever thought about retreating?"

Hou Zuo raised his head and replied:

"The way back?... I've thought about it. I tried to liaise with Feiyi and Feiyi. I hope that Gongshan Buxuan can also raise troops to rise up together like Liyi, so that it can also share some of the pressure for Liyi. "

"However, that Gongshan Buxuan is a treacherous and cunning man who categorically refused me. Now... I really have nothing to do!"

After hearing this, Si Chi pretended to hesitate for a while, and then said:
"I'm also a newcomer here, and some things are still unclear, but I have thought of a way along the way, I don't know if it is possible!"

Hou Fang heard that Si Chi seemed to have a good strategy, so he couldn't help asking:
"Oh? Brother Si, what are you thinking about? Come on, brother Yu! Don't play tricks here, brother Wei is very anxious now!"

Si Chi nodded, stroked his goatee again, and said:

"Since Liyi has become an isolated city, it is time to find another backer. Nowadays, only Qi State is very close to Liyi. Why don't you go to Qi State for help?"

Hou Peng heard the words, but he waved his hands again and again, quite disappointed by this:

"Qi State? Oh, Brother Chi doesn't know something! Now the Qi State is helping Uncle Sun's deal with me in Liyi, and it has just withdrawn not long ago. If you go to Qi State for help, isn't it tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap?"

"Furthermore... who dares to go? I'm afraid that if someone goes, they will never come back!"

When Si Chi heard the words, she smiled slightly, but she didn't take it seriously:

"Hehe, Brother Criminal only knows one thing, but not the other? Do you know why the State of Qi agreed to the Uncle Sun's attack on Liyi?"

Hou Zuo said without hesitation:
"That's not profitable, it's too early, they have other plans!"

Si Chi couldn't help but nodded and said:
"Of course! What they are planning is, without a doubt, Liyi! Qi and Lu didn't get along with each other at all. Some time ago, because of Yang Hu, they attacked there many times. Now Liyi is close to Qi, and Qi It is perfectly normal for the country to covet this!"

"If...Brother Zuo sent someone to go to Qi State and expressed that he would sacrifice Liyi, do you think the Marquis of Qi would agree?"

When Hou criminal heard this, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh:
"That's right! If Qi doesn't engage in military affairs, then he can occupy Liyi, isn't it better than taking it by force? Brother Chi, what you said really awakened me, the man in my dream. !"

Seeing that Hou Zuo had been persuaded, Si Chi continued:
"Brother criminal, if you can't defend Liyi for a long time, I'm afraid this matter should be done sooner rather than later!"

At this time, Hou Yuan was in trouble again, and said helplessly:
"But... who should be sent there?"

At this time, Hou Criminal immediately thought of Li Luo, but he was still a little worried about this person.And Si Chi said at this time:
"Thanks to brother criminal for not abandoning me, since I have come here to take refuge, if I can't share my worries for brother, I don't have the face to stay here any longer. Please also brother criminal to take good care of my wife and children. This trip to Qi, let me go! I will be able to persuade the country of Qi for brother criminal!"
