I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 69 Doctor Zishi's Advice

Just as Li Ran was about to check the grain carts of these sacrificial clans, Shu Niu suddenly appeared and threw his hand out violently.

Just like when he visited the priest's house for the first time, Shu Niu's hostility towards Li Ran was still undisguised, and his words were all aimed at Li Ran.

When Ji Le heard this, he knew that Shu Niu was making trouble for no reason, so he was immediately unhappy, and immediately stepped forward to reason:
"Brother Meng! What do you call that? Brother Ziming is not a bad person. He just wants to see these grain carts. It's not as serious as you said."

In front of outsiders, it's not easy for Ji Le to speak too much, she thought, it's better to deal with these houseworks internally after returning home.The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, if she bickers with Shu Niu here, spread it, and show the joke to others, it will still damage the reputation of Jishi.

But who knows that Shu Niu turned a deaf ear to what she said, just squinted his eyes, stared at Li Ran and said:

"I know exactly what your intentions for coming to Zhengyi are. To tell you the truth, I advise you to give up your mind as soon as possible!"

It seemed that he knew a lot about Li Ran.

But Li Ran couldn't help being startled when he heard the sound, and thought: I don't even know what I'm doing here, what are you pretending to do here?

Thinking about it, he was no longer polite to this vertical cow, and immediately sneered:

"Hey, is it possible that Your Excellency is a roundworm in your belly? You can know things that you don't even know yourself?"

"Then please tell me, what is your intention in coming to Zhengyi this time?"

Li Ran claims to be the second in terms of slandering people, and absolutely no one dares to be the number one in this era.

He has always been polite to Shu Niu, on the one hand because he is not familiar with Shu Niu, and he has not yet reached the point where he and Ji Sun Yiru are fighting to the death.

As the saying goes, stay on the front line when doing things, so that we can meet each other in the future.What's more, this Shu Niu is still Ji Le's elder brother after all, and he doesn't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face. If there is a confrontation with Shu Niu and a head-on conflict, Ji Le must be very embarrassed.

But now, facing the repeated and repeated provocations of Shu Niu, Li Ran couldn't help being a little nervous no matter how good-tempered he was: this is completely looking for trouble for nothing.

"Beep with me here, can't you find me?"

Li Ran cursed secretly, his face extremely gloomy.

"Hehe, what's the point if you tell everything about it?"

"Leave quickly! Don't be an eyesore here again!"

After the words fell, Shu Niu put his hands behind his back, his face was full of arrogance.

Hearing this, Ji Le couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately went forward to argue with Shu Niu, but Li Ran grabbed her.

He shook his head slightly towards Ji Le, signaling Ji Le not to be impulsive, and then he took a step forward.

He looked up and down the bull as if nothing had happened, and said coldly:
"Your Excellency said that my Li Ran's hands are not clean, and will pollute your family's food? Then... Your Excellency must have very clean hands?"

As soon as this remark came out, Shu Niu's expression suddenly changed!

He turned his head sharply to look at Li Ran, his eyes were full of fierce and threatening gazes, like the north wind in winter, after blowing, it makes people feel cold through the body.

But he didn't say a word, and stared at Li Ran with hatred in his eyes.

"What? Did I hit the mark?"

"What are you? How dare you be so presumptuous here?!"

Shu Niu took a step forward fiercely, with a ferocious expression as if he was going to swallow Li Ran alive.

Seeing this, Ji Le hurriedly came to Li Ran's side and glared at Shu Niu.

At this time, Yin Duan, Ji Wang, Ji Xun and others rushed over when they heard the movement here.

"Huh? Could this be Li Ran and Li Ziming whom Doctor Zichan often mentioned?"

As one of the six ministers of Zheng Guo, Yin Duan was very discerning, and recognized Li Ran at a glance, and he was very happy in his words.

Seeing Yin Duan, Li Ran immediately turned around to salute:

"My servant, Li Ran, has met Dr. Zishi."

"After the meeting in Pingqiu, I often heard about it from Dr. Zichan. Knowing that Ziming came to Zheng State recently, I should have gone to visit him in person, but he was busy with work, so I couldn't get away. I met here today. Luckily."

"By the way, what are you guys arguing about here just now? Shuniu, since Ziming came to our country of Zheng, he is a guest of our country of Zheng. As the host, you should treat each other with courtesy. Why did you argue with Ziming?"

Yin Duan had heard many things about Li Ran from Zichan before, and like Zichan, he naturally respected Li Ran very much.

After all, someone who can make Zichan pay so much attention to him is definitely not an ordinary person.

In this era when talent is the most important thing, any family is secretly vying to win over great talents. Li Ran's ability demonstrated in Lu State has already been recognized by many officials and princes, and Yin Duan, as a senior minister of Zheng State , How can you not treat him with courtesy?

Seeing this, Shu Niu knew that Dr. Zishi wanted to protect Li Ran, and he must have had a seizure, so he hurriedly bowed and said:
"Let me tell the doctor, this person just touched the grain cart indiscriminately, and I was worried that he would disturb the horse, so I stopped him."

Ji Le was listening to him so eloquently that he immediately became angry and was about to go forward to explain the facts, but unexpectedly Li Ran stopped her again.

She looked at Li Ran very puzzled, but Li Ran just shook his head slightly.

At this time, Yin Duan was quite dissatisfied and said to Shu Niu:
"Ziming just wanted to see the carriage, so why not, you! It's too much of a fuss."

With that said, he turned his head to look at Li Ran, and asked politely:
"But Ziming thinks there's something wrong with these carriages?"

Li Ran was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Yin Duan raised his hand suddenly, and then said to the Ji clan behind him:

"You all go down and make arrangements. Benqing and Ziming have something to say."

All the people who came to watch, including Shu Niu, had to retreat temporarily after hearing this.Ji Le looked at Li Ran, and after seeing Li Ran nodding, he also left temporarily.

After they left, Yin Duan dragged Li Ran to the back of a carriage, patted the carriage with his hand, and said earnestly:
"Ziming, you may not be very clear about the rules of the family of priests. I have been an official for many years, and I know a thing or two about the rules of their family, so I can tell you about it."

"Sacrificial family caravans travel between countries, and they always carry some private goods, or tributes, or dowry gifts. These are necessary to connect the feelings of each family and dredge the business roads of various countries. Since you are proficient in Zhou rituals, there is nothing to do here. It should be the most understandable."

"This time they went to Weiguo with the food of fate. The reason why they have some clues is that they brought some other goods with them. Since you have seen it, it is also your ability. But this kind of thing, see through it." Let’s not talk about it, as long as everyone can save face. If you forcibly tear down the stage, what good will it do for you and the family? Ziming, do you think so?”

As Yin Duan said, his complexion softened and his eyes became transparent.

Li Ran's thoughts changed after hearing the sound.Only then did he realize that this was the main reason why Dr. Zishi hadn't checked Jishi's grain transport convoy before.

Li Ran knew that it was hard to say anything more at this time, so he bowed his hands to Dr. Zishi immediately and said:

"Thank you doctor for reminding me, Li Ran was indeed reckless."

Yin Duan smiled, turned his hands away again, and said noncommittally:
"Zi Ming has just arrived here, so it's better to be more stable. This place is no different from the country of Lu, can you understand?"

At this point, the meaning of the words could not be more obvious.
