I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 37 The Mist Before the Alliance
Ji Sunsu was also in a daze, he never expected that Yang Tongue would do something like this tonight, and directly let Lu Hou return to the Lu Kingdom.And tomorrow he will face the monarchs of Ju and Zhu directly.

All of this made Ji Sunsu suspicious, didn't Han Qi make it clear that he sold him?

"Han Qi! How can Han Qi be like this?!"

What he couldn't understand was that the so-called taking money from people to eliminate disasters for others.If you simply don't accept the gift, it's a gesture of your opinion.This gift is also accepted, but this one comes again tonight, this is too unreasonable, right?

For a while, he was as scheming as he was, and at this moment, he couldn't help being confused and didn't know what to do.

"What's going on? What's going on?!"

Ji Sunsu paced back and forth in the camp, like an ant on a hot pot.

Seeing this, Li Ran on the side immediately cupped his hands slightly, and then retreated.Half of his plan has been completed, and it will depend on whether Han Qi can survive the other half when the alliance meets tomorrow.

The moon tonight is really extraordinarily round.

He looked at the lonely full moon in the sky, not as happy as expected, but even more indifferent.

He thought of Prince Lu Ji Ye, and Prince Zhou Ji Jin.

"Don't worry, the king's last wish will be remembered one by one, and will not be forgotten even for a moment."

……

When he returned to his residence, he was shocked to find that Ji Le was still waiting for him there.

As a girl, Ji Le is absolutely in no position to get involved in these matters.She stayed here just to hear some good news from Li Ran.

When she knew that Yang Tongue had issued an ultimatum to Ji Sunsu on behalf of the Marquis of Jin, she was so happy that she jumped up straight away.

"In this way, what face will the Ji family have in the state of Lu in the future?"

Lu Hou Xinli, this meeting in Pingqiu, the Lu country can be said to be Ji Sunsu's one-man show. If he messes up, it will naturally lose face, Ji's family will be ashamed, and his reputation will be greatly damaged.

Even though Yang Tongue hadn't explicitly asked him to return the territories of Ju and Zhu tonight, the meaning was already obvious.

Ji Sunsu is in Jin and Pingqiu. At tomorrow's meeting, Ju and Zhu will definitely ask him to return the territory. Will he be able to fight against the entire alliance by himself?

Obviously not.

So tomorrow, Ji Sunsu's ruin is almost a foregone conclusion.

"But...it's hard to say right now."

But seeing Li Ran's smile on his face, he was not so optimistic about this matter.

From his point of view, the reason that Yang Tong Li was able to help was largely because Yang Tong Li itself was a model who valued Zhou etiquette, wanted to revitalize the office, and maintain the order of the Zhou people.

That day he asked Yang Tongue for help, in fact, it was for tonight's matter.Let Yang Tongxue bring the matter of Yingyi to the Marquis of Jin, and let the Marquis of Jin speak to punish the Ji family.

Although Yang Tongue had offered to help, would Han Qi definitely know how to do it?
Ji Sunsu's biggest failure was that he believed that Yang Tong Li and Han Qi belonged to the same party, so this led him to ignore the role of Yang Tong Li, and finally Li Ran found his weakness and gave him a severe blow.

However, Han Qi and Yang Tonglu are two completely different people after all, as can be easily seen from the military parade organized by Han Qi during the day.

He is not Shu Xiang, and it is impossible for him to have a greater idea.What's more, Han Qi's own ass is not on the monarch's side at all.

Tomorrow's alliance will be hosted by him, will he give Ji Sunsu a fatal blow?At this point, it is indeed too early.

"If Han Qi is really not as good as we thought, and instead shielded Ji Sunsu, what should we do?"

When Li Ran said this, Ji Le began to worry.After all, she had been in Jin State for a month, and she had heard about it more or less. Coupled with Li Ran's analysis before, she naturally had a certain understanding of Han Qi.

Immediately, he also felt that Han Qi was indeed an uncertain factor. Once he hesitated, or even fell directly to Ji Sunsu's side, it would be difficult to say the outcome of this game.

"Now it's up to Doctor Yang Tongue."

Regarding this point, Li Ran was also very helpless. He had arranged everything, but he could not completely control the situation.In the final analysis, he is just a guest official of Lu State.

A person like Han Qi who controls the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom, how can he, a guest minister, be able to control him?

At this moment, all he can rely on is the determination of the sheep tongue and his three-inch tongue.

Ji Le heard the sound and nodded. After some words, the two looked at each other for a while.

Probably the most embarrassing moment in the world is this moment of silence.In just a moment, Li Ran's face turned reddish.It's just that the lights are not very bright, and Jiyue can't notice it.

Then Ji Le turned his head away, sighed, then changed the topic and said:
"Actually, my father also came to Pingqiu a few days ago, so I don't know what's going on with them now."

Just as they set off for Pingqiu, King Zheng and his envoys had also arrived.

"Oh? But I don't know why your father came here? Could it be?...He came to arrest you and go back?"

This was not Li Ran's arrangement. Naturally, Li Ran didn't know the purpose of their coming to Jin this time, so he just asked such a playful joke.

"That's not true! This time, the monarch of our country Zheng was also invited to participate in the alliance meeting, accompanied by Dr. Zichan. My father was entrusted by Dr. Zichan to arrange all the necessary arrangements for coming to participate in the alliance. supplies, so they came along with them. I just don’t know where they are stationed at this time.”

"That's right, for this alliance, the camps of the princes from all walks of life stretch for hundreds of miles, and the scale is unprecedented. It is extremely difficult to find someone now."

Tomorrow is the day of the alliance, but in the era of lack of information, even if Ji Xian has already arrived in Pingqiu, it may be difficult to contact Ji Le who is in the Lu camp.

It seems that Ji Le has been away from home for a while now, as the jewel in the palm of Ji's family, how can she not miss her father at this moment?
"Since they are here, we will definitely be able to see them tomorrow."

Li Ran comforted her, and finally showed a thoughtful look on his face.

……

The next day, the Jin army lined up several rows on both sides of the altar, and then amidst the sound of drums and horns, princes from all walks of life successively appeared on the stage, and the Pingqiu meeting kicked off.

As Li Ran expected, it was not the Marquis of Jin who presided over the meeting in Pingqiu, but Han Qi.

Of course the Marquis of Jin also came, but he was like a symbolic sculpture.Sitting at the top of the meeting place, accepting the pilgrimage of the participating princes.

Li Ran is not qualified to join the association. In the final analysis, he is just a guest minister, and he can only stand far away under the altar like those princes and entourages.

Although it was far away, Li Ran still had some basic understanding of this man who still held the hegemony of the Central Plains.

Although the Marquis of Jin is not very old, it is rumored that he is only in his forties.But looking at it from a distance, I can see that his body is not straight, and even his kneeling posture is a bit stretched.He covered his nose with his hands from time to time, and coughed slightly from time to time, obviously his body was a little weak.

The overlord has long lost the prestige of the overlord, and the hero will eventually wither.People who are late are getting old, just to make a cry from the bottom of their hearts at the end.

But having said that, after all, the state of Jin still has a lot of prestige.None of the princes under their noses dared to be disrespectful.

Starting from the state of Qi, Marquis of Qi, Marquis of Chen, Bo Zheng, Bo Cao, etc., all came forward to make a pilgrimage, with a correct attitude and respect.

But Li Ran paid special attention to Juzi and Zhuzi.

The monarchs of these two countries are relatively young. They seem to be in their early thirties, and they are in their prime. Juzi is a slightly fat man.Walking and swaying, the other princes always laughed secretly.On the other hand, Zhuozi seemed to be relatively well-behaved, and there was nothing special about it.

After the pilgrimage of all the princes is completed, the meeting begins.

The main purpose of this alliance meeting, or the agenda for initiating this alliance meeting, is mainly aimed at the civil strife in Chu, and the form of the alliance meeting is greater than the content.Of course, among the small issues, there is also the question of the cities of Ju and Lu that were occupied by Lu.

After a group of princes took the stage to make an oath and swore their blood for the alliance, according to the usual practice, they read out in public a call to action listing the crimes of Chu.Undoubtedly, this call to action is nothing more than adding a few more articles to the regular call to action.

After completing the normal procedure, Han Qi turned around and went to the Marquis of Jin.Then he got off the altar and stood in the center of the venue. After looking around for a week, his eyes rested on Ji Sunsu's face.

At this time, Ji Sunsu was standing on the edge of the meeting platform together with the officials from other vassal states.His front row is supposed to be the seat of Marquis Lu, but since Marquis Lu had already returned to the country of Lu last night, there was nothing in front of him at this time, and the atmosphere was very desolate.

Li Ran saw Han Qi's gaze and knew that the most critical moment had arrived.

He was still worried about whether Han Qi would be on their side until last night, so at this time, facing something that was about to happen but he was not very sure, he naturally became more and more uneasy.

You must know that this is related to the future of the entire Lu State, and Han Qi's next words are likely to affect the direction of the Lu State in the next few years, or even decades.

There is nothing more worrisome than this.

Even Li Ran couldn't help but sweat for himself.

At this moment, countless eyes were focused on Han Qi.And among them, there are obviously many people who don't know what's going on, they just think there is something exciting to watch, and they are waiting there.

After all, watching the excitement is nothing too serious.

And Ji Sunsu was already dripping with cold sweat at this time, how could he not notice Han Qi's staring gaze?
After yesterday's military parade, today's Han Qi looks extraordinarily energetic.His eyes were like torches, and that awe-inspiring power slowly emerged from his body, and then slowly spread away, until Ji Sunsu was afraid to avoid it and dare not look directly at him.

This man who holds hundreds of thousands of Jin troops is like the master of the Ji family's fate at this moment. No one knows whether he is holding a gold medal for avoiding death or a token for killing.

Ji Sunsu was shrouded by this coercion, and he didn't dare to lift his head, only feeling that there were countless ants crawling on his back, which was extremely uncomfortable.

But the most terrible thing is not this.

The most terrible thing is that Han Qi stared at him for a long time, but he refused to speak or make a sound!

This is like a prisoner who is waiting for the verdict. Faced with the verdict of innocence or capital punishment, he has been waiting for the result for a long time, and the torture and suffering are self-evident.

After a long time like this, even the monarchs of other vassal states couldn't wait any longer, and when they began to whisper among each other, Jin's Chinese army Zuo Hanqi began his happiest performance.

"Where is Dr. Jisun of Lu State?!"

"Chen is here!"

Ji Sunsu hurriedly bowed and saluted, stepped forward, kowtowed and knelt down, his voice obviously began to tremble.

Then, I saw a faint smile on Han Qi's face, and he put his hands behind his back, and asked calmly:

"Doctor Ji Sun, have you thought it through?"
