RNP Chapter 588
Chapter 588
After Confucius left, Li Ran called Fan Li again:
"Uncle Shao, pack up your clothes too. We will set off with the army in three days. Besides, Guan Ziyu must always pay attention to Chengyi's every move!"
Fan Li clasped his fists and bowed in response:
"Don't worry, sir! I'll send Ziyu a letter later."
After Fan Li finished speaking, he didn't leave directly, but said:
"Sir, the matter of falling into a town...Sir, do you really want to go there in person? I thought...how can you use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?"
Hearing this, Li Ran smiled slightly:
"Hehe, compared to Feiyi and Liyi, Chengyi is the biggest test. Liyi has the princes, and Feiyi has Gongshan, both of them are brave men, and they do things in the clear. , so it is easy to provoke."
"And this Gong Lianyang... I have tried to provoke him several times before, but all have failed. Moreover, this person has saved lives for both the Meng family and Sanhuan, and he is quite famous in the country."
"So, the misfortune of Gong Lianyang must be far greater than that of Feiyi and Liyi. And... I was drunk before and said that I am afraid that sooner or later I will fall into the ears of Sanhuan, and I am afraid that it will cause Sanhuan's dissatisfaction. In this case, I still have to go there in person.”
Fan Li was still somewhat puzzled:
"Mr. means...Ji Sun and Dr. Uncle Sun will be unfavorable to Mr. Ji? But I don't think Ji and Mr. have any new grievances, and they have the same goal. Would he really think so?"
Li Ran nodded and said calmly:
"Well, what the young uncle said is not unreasonable. Ji Sun and the others are now bent on weakening Meng Sun's power. Destroying Chengyi is their top priority... Therefore, they will not do anything to me for the time being. As for Meng Sun, it can be seen that he is still a little wavering!"
"Now the three Huans have their own thoughts, but I can make some plans in the dark. There are some things and words that Kong Zhongni is inconvenient to say, but I can."
Hearing this, Fan Li couldn't help but suddenly realized:
"That's it. No wonder sir insists on going to Li here to prepare."
After Fan Li left, Li Ran put his hands behind his back and murmured:
"This time, it looks like I'm going to fight Tian Qi again..."
……
In the next two days, Li Ran and Gong Eryue looked at each other with some embarrassment.
There was also much less dialogue between the two.
Seeing that Li Ran was going to leave with the army tomorrow, Gong Eryue finally lost her composure and came to the study to find Li Ran.
Gong Eryue looked at what Li Ran was writing on the letter at the door, and after hesitating for a while, she still came in with a cup of clear water and some honey bait, and put it on the table.
Li Ran heard the movement, looked up at Gong Eryue, and couldn't help but smile.
Gong'eryue hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Sir, tomorrow you will set off with the army, I...I want to go too..."
Li Ran was stunned for a moment, stopped writing, and said to Gong Eryue:
"Yue, you'd better stay with Guang'er, there are Shao Bo and Chu Dang over there, I won't be in danger..."
Gong Eryue insisted:
"The army is tough. If I'm here, I can take care of you. After all, they are men. It's not a problem to protect you, but when it comes to taking good care of you, I'm afraid it won't work. I... I'd better go with you!"
Li Ran said:
"Don't worry, I am also a person with hands and feet, and I will take care of myself."
Gong Eryue gave Li Ran a blank look.
"Following Mr. for so long, don't I know Mr.'s nature? Mr. is out alone, and whenever there is something to do, he just forgets to sleep and eat, and he doesn't care about himself at all. How can people feel at ease? I don't believe that you can take care of him. What about myself!"
Hearing these words, Li Ran couldn't help but think of the letters Ji Le wrote to him when he was in Chu State.
Among them, most of them are concerned about the trivial matters of his food and clothing.
Thinking of this, Li Ran couldn't help feeling sad.
"Yue... you... this me..."
Seeing Li Ran hesitating, Gong Eryue smiled instead.
"Sir, don't you dare to see me?"
Li Ran picked up the water cup to drink, but suddenly heard that he was choked, and couldn't help coughing repeatedly:
"Where...how can this matter?"
Gong Eryue said again and again:
"Since there is no one, then you took me with you when you went out before, why didn't you take me with you this time?"
Li Ran was dumbfounded by Gong Eryue's question, he hesitated to speak, and didn't know how to answer at all.
After a while, Li Ran suddenly asked:
"Then... the matter of unknown names... how is Miss Yue thinking?"
When Gong Eryue heard it, she couldn't help but blushed, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and she was also stunned for a while:
"This... this matter... the future will be long, we still have to talk about it after a while..."
At this time, Li Ran smiled slightly and said:
"So, since you and I both need to make a long-term plan, if you are with me all the way, how should we make a plan?"
Afterwards, Li Ran spoke directly to her again:
"Yue, this time Fan Li will also go to Chengyi with me, so the only one in the Li Mansion is entrusted to you. Don't treat it like a joke, besides taking good care of Guang'er, you also have to see the opportunity." Take care of internal and external affairs. So, your burden is really heavy..."
When Gong Eryue heard the words, seeing Li Ran's serious expression, she also knew that the matter was of great importance.So he stopped insisting and just retreated silently.
Seeing this situation, Li Ran sighed helplessly, and then continued to write something on the slip.
……
As night fell, Li Ran found Gong Eryue and Li Guang again.
Li Guang didn't take Li Ran's departure as a surprise, but asked with a wink:
"Father, will it be dangerous to go out this time?"
Li Ran said:
"With Ah Li and Chu Dang, there will be no danger. You have to listen to Er Niang at home, you understand?"
This is the first time that Li Ran has called "Second Mother" directly in front of Li Guang.But Li Guang got used to it.
However, when Gong Eryue heard this, she couldn't help but her whole body trembled. It was obvious that she was still very uncomfortable with this title coming from Li Ran's mouth.
Li Guang replied:
"Father, don't worry, Guang'er has always been obedient, especially what Erniang said!"
Gong Eryue also said:
"Be more careful outside. With me here, Guang'er will be fine at home."
Li Ran glanced at Gong Eryue gratefully. Since Ji Le's death, Gong Eryue spent much more time with Li Guang than him as a father.
The reason why Li Guang was able to get out of the grief of losing her mother was due to Gong Eryue.
Coupled with what happened that night, Li Ran made up his mind that he must give Gong Eryue a title in the future.
"You all should go to bed early! I have to go to bed early tonight, and I will set off early tomorrow morning!"
Li Ran stood up while talking, and Gong Eryue sent him to the door. Li Ran looked back at Li Guang behind her, who was sitting inside, looking at the two of them with big eyes.
Li Ran said in a low voice:
"Yue, wait for me to come back!"
Gong Eryue hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Well, no matter what, you have to return safely, as long as you are here...it's better than anything..."
Gong Eryue's wife-like words made Li Ran's heart throb.
"Okay! I promise you!"
After Li Ran left, Gong Eryue looked at his back and thought for a long time, until Li Guang called out from the room, and then came back to her senses, entered the room and closed the door.
"Erniang, what's the matter with you and father?"
How could Gong Eryue say anything to Li Guang, coughed dryly, and stroked Li Guang's little head.
"There's nothing wrong with us!"
Li Guang looked at Gong Eryue's erratic eyes, feeling strange in his heart, but he didn't ask any further.
