Chapter 282_Prince Qiji is unhappy

Since the Hua family of the Song Dynasty was also a member of the Qingfeng family who secretly supported Qingfeng behind the scenes, it stands to reason that they should be in the same group.

But now Hua Fei Sui from the Song Dynasty has also come to the Chu Kingdom, and the King of Chu wants to give them a slap on the wrist and punish them.

Since Li Ran agreed to help Prince Zuo and Xiang Xu to relieve the siege, but if he really did so, wouldn't it be equivalent to helping Hua Feisui to relieve the siege?

Therefore, what Li Ran was thinking at this moment was, is there any way to help Xiang Xu while also deterring Hua Feisui?

However, this is undoubtedly very difficult.

After all, Prince Zuo, Xiang Xu and Hua Feisui were all from the Song Dynasty, and they all experienced prosperity and loss. How could they be separated at this time?

Ji Le didn't understand this. She looked at Li Ran and was deep in thought. She consciously closed her mouth and sat aside to wait quietly.

But after a long time, Li Ran couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so he had to give up now.

"It seems that the Hua family has already made preparations. The reason why this guy delayed his trip halfway is probably because he wanted to anger the King of Chu and make the alliance dirty."

After thinking about it for a while, he still had no solution, so Li Ran had no choice but to get up and prepare to go to see the King of Chu.

Seeing Li Ran get up, Ji Le also got up together, arranging Li Ran's clothes. After finishing arranging, he hugged Li Ran from behind, put his head on the back of Li Ran's neck, and whispered softly:

"Le'er doesn't understand what your husband has done. Ke Le'er still hopes that her husband will always remember one thing."

"That is, Le'er will always wait for her husband..."

After the words fell, the eyes in Ji Le's eyes were clear, pure and affectionate.

Yes, as a daughter, all she hopes is that her husband can return to her safely every day, that's all.

This is probably something all women have in common.

The importance of Li Ran to Ji Le is self-evident, and Ji Le naturally does not want Li Ran to be in any danger.

"Haha, don't worry, as a husband you don't have to sacrifice your life for the sake of the Song Dynasty."

Li Ran untied Ji Le's hands, turned around, and gently arranged her hair and ears, with a smile on his face.

…

Li Ran came to Zhanghua Hall, and after paying homage to him, he was about to bow down, but unexpectedly Prince Qiji also arrived.

Therefore, Li Ran had to pay homage again.

Likewise, when Prince Qiji saw that Li Ran was there, he was slightly startled.

"Haha, Brother Ji and Ziming are here together today. I wonder what the important matter is?"

King Chu sat on the throne and asked with a happy smile on his face.

Whether it was Li Ran or Wang Zi Qiji, he took them very seriously.

Especially since Li Ran took the initiative to come to see him today, it meant that Li Ran was no longer as unfamiliar with him as before.

For the King of Chu, this was a matter of joy.

And Prince Qiji took the initiative to come to see him, which meant that this younger brother was also assisting him wholeheartedly, and the future of their Chu country was also very promising.

"I heard that Mr. Ling Zheng also came to Chu State with me. Qiji originally thought that Mr. was going to accompany my wife to relax? I didn't expect that Sir would be so concerned about my affairs in Chu State?"

"In that case, why don't you, sir, stay in our country of Chu? Brother Wang will definitely satisfy you."

Prince Qiji spoke first and spoke harshly, with a hint of disdain in his words and a look of disdain in his eyebrows.

Before, Li Ran kept saying that he would not stay in the Chu State to work for the Chu State, but now he came to see the King of Chu every two days. Of course Prince Qiji thought that Li Ran was doing this just to gain fame.

Of course, by mocking Li Ran like this, he was actually irritating Li Ran.

After all, if Li Ran really stayed, it would definitely not be a good thing for him.

"Haha, the fourth prince is joking. I have an agreement with the king. I will leave after the three things are completed."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "As for the humble concubine, she has just arrived in Chu State and has not adapted to everything. I will take care of her, so I won't bother the fourth prince."

Li Ran's words were impeccable. He did not hold a gun or a stick, nor did he grovel. Instead, he said it in a very calm tone.

However, besides the superficial meaning of his words, there is actually another hidden meaning.

That is: a dog stalks a mouse, mind your own business! You are the only one who has a lot of things to do every day!

Because, whether it's his agreement with the King of Chu or the coming of Ji Le to Chu State, this is his own business. Is it your turn to intervene?

After Wang Ziqiji listened, he didn't seem to realize the deep meaning of Li Ran's words, he just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously.

But when the King of Chu heard Li Ran's words, "After the three things have been helped, you should leave on your own," his face suddenly darkened and he was a little unhappy.

"Sir, are you here today, but do you have something to do?"

"Back to the king, I heard recently that the king wanted to punish the people of Song Dynasty just because they were late for a few days. After hearing this, I was very frightened and uneasy. This move is not good for the Chu country. I also ask the king to take back the order and think twice.

That’s ok!”

Li Ran didn't hide it, he immediately admonished him like this.

As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Qiji on the side sneered and said with disdain:

"The people of the Song Dynasty are arrogant and do not understand etiquette. Even if they answer the call, they are still so procrastinating. This is obviously intentional and does not give us Chu State face!"

"Brother Wang, why not punish them a little for this? Is it possible that Mr. Wang is speaking for them now and has something to do with them? Or is Mr. Wang taking advantage of them?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Li Ran frowned slightly, a suspicion rising in his heart.

Is this prince Qiji spying on himself?

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Wang Zi Qiji and said in a deep voice:

"Then...how does the fourth prince think the Song people should be punished?"

"What's the use of saying that? The people of Song Dynasty did not follow the etiquette and neglected our country. They should be severely punished!"

Just now he said "small punishment", but he turned around and said "severe punishment". It seems that Wang Ziqiji is also very accomplished in talking to himself.

King Chu did not express his position when he heard this, but looked at it with a very indifferent look, as if waiting for Li Ran's rebuttal.

Li Ran didn't hesitate and immediately sneered.

"If the king severely punishes the people of Song Dynasty today, all the countries from the Central Plains who came to attend the meeting tomorrow will leave together. By then, the so-called Shendi Alliance will probably become a joke. Can the fourth prince bear this responsibility?"

The people of the Song Dynasty were only one representative of the Central Plains countries, and not a very important one at that.

But even so, Chu State cannot neglect them.

Because what the Chu State wanted at this time was to unite the countries in the Central Plains and isolate Zhongli.

If the King of Chu severely punishes the people of Song at this time, then the kings and ministers of other countries will see it. Will they stay here stupidly and wait for you, the King of Chu, to make trouble?

And their departure would mean the failure of Chu State's entire plan. The Shendi Alliance was in name only but not real. Not only would Zhongli State be openly supported by the Hua clan of Song State, but the entire Central Plains would also openly provide assistance.

By that time, the situation of the Chu State will plummet. Not to mention drinking from the Yellow River and striving for the Central Plains, even a small Zhufang City will become an obstacle that the Chu State cannot overcome.

Prince Qiji was rendered speechless by Li Ran's refutation. He looked at Li Ran blankly, and it took him a long time to say:

"Hmph! It's a joke. Is the Chu State really afraid of them?"

He has a tough mouth, so he is the one talking about it.
