After sending Li Ren away, Baoyu came to report.

"King, how did this Li Ren seem to be preoccupied when he left?"

Jing Ran smiled, it was strange that he didn't have anything on his mind.

"On one side is the orthodox lord of the Chu State, and on the other hand, Jiang Yue, the military leader, how do you say Li Ren will choose."

Baoyu thought for a while and said: "Of course this is the king, the current Chu State has not become the son of Zhongzhou a hundred years ago." ”

Jing Ran glanced at Baoyu: "I'm really relieved that you can see this." ”

Baoyu looked at Jing Ran, Jing Ran smiled slightly:

"Yes, the current Chu State has not yet reached the point of the Son of Heaven in Zhongzhou, if Jiang Yue is a Jingyu-like figure, he Li Ren has a reason to choose Jiang Yue, but now that General Jing Hao in the south and the support of the Qin State, he Li Ren should make a reasonable choice."

Baoyu nodded: "Hmm...... By the way, the king, at this time, the news that just came from the flying pigeon was General Daniel Zhang. ”

As he spoke, he handed a piece of letterhead to Jing Ran, who looked at the contents and smiled widely.

"Daniel Zhang really knows what I mean."

Baoyu: "Is the king General Daniel Zhang bringing troops?" ”

"Haha, see for yourself." As he spoke, he handed the letterhead to Baoyu. I saw that the letter was written

"The minister asks Wang An, the minister has already seen General Gongsun Zhi, and General Gongsun Zhi has promised to borrow 5,000 soldiers, and the minister is already on the way south with his troops, and he will go to Hexi City tomorrow. The minister re-opened, and the minister took the initiative to spread the news of Jiang Yue's feudalism to Qin and Zhao with a fast horse, and the north and south of Chu will soon be known. ”

Baoyu now knows the reason why Jing Ran is happy.

"This one is really bold. Ha ha. ”

Baoyu joked.

Jing Ran: "Yes, if you do this, maybe Jiang Yue will give up some rebellious ideas." ”

Baoyu whispered in Jing Ran's ear: "King, why don't you kill Jiang Yue directly!" ”

Jing Ran glanced at Baoyu, this loyal servant who has followed him since he was a child, is the person he trusts the most, and he basically can't guess his own thoughts, but this time, he is annoyed by dementia.

"Baoyu, you must know that what we need now is stability and an army, and these things, only Jiang Yue can give us so far."

Jing Ran saw that Baoyu was confused, so he said again: "You must know that Jiang Yue has 50,000 Jinyang troops in his hands, if these soldiers know that their generals have been killed, what do you say they will do?" ”

Baoyu thought about it along Jing Ran's train of thought, and was shocked: "The king said that these 50,000 soldiers will ......"

Jing Ran: "This kind of thing is something we can't afford now, and the widow doesn't want to go abroad." ”

Baoyu nodded: "The king is wise"

"Well, by the way, take a closer look at Li Ren, this person has the talent of Zaifu, and he must be taken away."

Baoyu: "The minister understands. ”

The next day, it was not surprising that Jiang Yue really came to pay homage.

"Minister Jiang Yue please Wang An."

Jing Ran smiled slightly on the chair, and gave him a handful, looking at this newly promoted Marquis of Jinyang of the Great Chu State, the taste in his heart can be described as mixed. On the one hand, he hated Jiang Yue's rebellion, but on the other hand, he cherished Jiang Yue's excellent military command ability.

"Prince, please get up."

Jing Ran's face was as gentle as when he first entered the city, but in his heart he was wondering how the task he had given to Baoyu and the others had been completed.

It turned out that after sending Li Ren away at night, the two discussed, we must seize the good opportunity created by Daniel Zhang, and the letter has already explained that Daniel Zhang transmitted the news of Jiang Yue's separation to the country, and Jing Yu and Jing Hao in China will never allow Jiang Yue to have this kind of action and thought, because everyone knows that no matter who is in power in the current Chu State, this country can never allow this country to face a greater split, and only a complete and unified country can fight against the world, and now the country is basically divided into two, and the overall situation has not yet been decided, How could it be possible for Jiang Yue, a clown, to come out and jump off the beam.

Based on this, Jing Ran had already ordered Baoyu and others to spread false news that the north and south of Chu State were resolutely opposed to the division of Jinyang, and Jingyu had already sent troops to the north, and at this time, the news that Northern Chu had sent troops was about to reach Jiang Yue's ears.

And at that time, it was what Jing Ran had to do, to fight grass without startling snakes. Of course, the point that can be done is Li Ren.

"Mr. Li Ren's talk last night. Let the widow suddenly open it. ”

Seeing Li Ren behind Jiang Yue, Jing Ran directly crossed Jiang Yue, went directly to Li Ren, and took Li Ren's hand affectionately and couldn't stop.

Jiang Yue's face will be red and blue, not to mention how embarrassing it is.

"How can this puppet be so affectionate with the little doll?!" Jiang Yue already had huge doubts about Li Ren in his heart this time.

Jing Ran skimmed Jiang Yue, whose face was cloudy, with his eyes, and had no intention of stopping.

At this time, Li Ren was even more helpless: This king actually used such low-level means to separate himself and Jiang Yue, is it really Jiang Yue a fool?

But when he saw Jiang Yue with an embarrassed face, he suddenly realized that this Jiang Yue would not really be deceived by such low-level means......

Jing Ran: "I heard that Mr. Li has a daughter, who is twelve years old, and it happens that the widow's sister Wang is also this age, but her life is not good and she died early, which is a pain that the widow can never forget." ”

"Sister Wang? Why does the king still have a royal sister? Li Ren was confused in his heart, what does this king mean by saying this now? Sure enough, before Li Ren could think clearly, Jing Ran's next sentence shocked everyone and almost dropped their jaws.

"The widow misses Sister Wang, and a few days ago I heard that Mr. Li has a daughter in his family who is the same age, so the widow took the liberty of wanting to be a relative with Mr. Li."

Now not only Li Ren, but all Jinyang officials, including Jiang Yue, are completely blinded.

"The widow wants to recognize your daughter as the king's sister and make the county lord, on the one hand, it can make the widow relieve the pain of lovesickness, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Mr. yesterday's teachings." As he spoke, he made a gesture to Li Ren.

Lee stayed where he was, not knowing how to reply.

And Jiang Yue at this time was completely blinded, he now believes that Li Ren and Jing Ran have a situation, under Jiang Yue's leadership, all the officials in Jinyang are angry at Li Ren, originally Li Ren entered Jinyang as a businessman, and was looked down upon by many officials, and now he is directly attached to the royal family, and it is completely difficult to gain a foothold in Jinyang.

Li Ren knew that Jing Ran might make a small move, but he didn't expect this first dish to be served to him.

"King Grace, does Mr. Li still have any hesitation?"

At this time, the voice of Baoyu came from the door, and Jing Ran saw Baoyu returning, which meant that the things he arranged were done.

"This ......"

Li Ren glanced at Jiang Yue hesitantly, and Jing Ran smiled:

"The prince should not be careful, the widow just recognizes a sister, so I hope that the prince will persuade Mr. Li more."

Jiang Yue suffered a dumb loss early this morning, and now that there are so many people, it is impossible for him to refute Jing Ran's face:

"Come on, go and invite Mr. Li's daughter to come."

Although Jiang Yue didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face, everyone could hear the resentment in his tone: Okay, you Li Ren, you will be paid at the bottom of the kettle.

"Hey, slow down, since it is a widow who recognizes his sister, and he is the daughter of Mr. Li, how can such a big thing not be known to the people of Jinyang, the joy of the royal family is the joy of my great Chu! And Mrs. Li is also invited. ”

Although Jing Ran's tone even sounded a little immature, his approach made Li Ren see the taste of conspiracy.

"Do it!"

Jiang Yue ordered. But his face has become so that you can tell at a glance that he is very unhappy now, very unhappy.

Jiang Yue was beckoned by Jing Ran to sit down after giving the order, and hugged Yu in Jing Ran's ear, and the voice that only the two of them could hear told him that the matter had been done.

Jing Ran began to chat with Jiang Yue without a word at this time.

After a while, Li Ren's wife and daughter were taken to the top of the main hall, Jing Ran greeted Li Ren's wife very politely, and turned her head to see a very pleasing little girl.

"Mr. Li, is this my little sister?"

Jing Ran didn't care about Jiang Yue's feelings, and chatted directly with Li Ren.

And Li Ren has actually not seen his wife and daughter for a long time, since Jiang Yue used despicable means to force him to assist, Li Ren can only see his family every half a month, and now that his family is in front of him, how can Jiang Yue stop his excitement.

"Back to the king's words, it is the clumsy Jing and the little girl."

Jing Ran looked at the little girl and asked kindly, "What's your name?" ”

The girl showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and hid behind her mother: "My name is Li Caiwei...... Well...... Big brother, who are you? ”

Li Ren was shocked: "Cai Wei can't be rude to the king!" ”

Hearing Li Ren say that the young man in front of him was the king, Li Ren's wife hurriedly pulled Li Yuyao to kneel: "The people don't know the king, I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Jing Ran hurriedly helped the two of them up: "Madame, don't be like this, today I want to recognize my sister." ”

As he spoke, he turned to Jiang Yue: "Junhou, are everything ready?" ”

Jiang Yue: "Back to the king, it's all right." ”

"Okay, let's all come together, the widow wants to recognize a sister, this matter is a major matter for my Dachu royal family. Let's go with the princes. ”

Now Jiang Yue can be said to be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, so he can only agree hard.

And Li Ren could only smile bitterly and explain the reason to his wife.

Li Ren's wife opened her mouth wide in surprise when she heard this, what does this king mean?

At this time, Baoyu didn't know when he quietly came to the side of Li Ren's family: "Mr. Li, as for the intentions of my king, you will understand sooner or later, so don't think about it too much, the king told Mr. that he really wants to recognize a sister." ”

"Hey......"

Li Renchang sighed: That's all it can be.

Soon the group arrived at the small square in front of the City God Temple in Jinyang City, and the surrounding people surrounded them when they saw such a large formation.

The smile on Jing Ran's face grew: "Hug the jade, make an order." ”

"Hmm."

As he spoke, Baoyu had already taken out the will that had been prepared a long time ago, and opened it to read it.

However, a lot of words were circling around, and many people couldn't understand them, and finally Baoyu had to smile bitterly and explain the king's will in straightforward language:

"The king has an order, the daughter of Mr. Li Ren, virtuous and dignified, with the style of the royal family, the king loves it very much, and now he thinks that the righteous sister is equivalent to the royal family, and the lord of Hexi County."

Li Ren saw that the matter had come to this point, so he had to thank his wife and daughter, and Li Caiwei didn't know what was going on, but she heard her father say that she would be the king's sister in the future.

"Do I have an extra brother?"

Cai Wei thought in her heart, seeing that Jing Ran looked gentle and elegant, Cai Wei's heart was less doubtful and more curious.

Just when she peeked at Jing Ran, Jing Ran grimaced and smiled at her, and Cai Wei was even happier.

It's just that children think as much as adults, Cai Wei thinks that there is just one more brother from now on, but Jiang Yue and the others feel that this is the king beating himself in disguise.

After Baoyu read out the will, Jing Ran led Cai Wei, and the two worshiped the heavens and the earth, and officially became brother and sister, and Jing Ran also liked this sister more and more.

When everything was over, when Jiang Yue was really about to breathe a sigh of relief, Jing Ran said again:

"The widow's sister Wang is now the lord of Xicheng, and Xicheng is where she should go, so in two days, the widow will take the princess back to Xicheng."

"Ahh Li Ren and Jiang Yue were shocked at the same time.

Jiang Yue was surprised to know that the king in front of him was really going to play the bottom of the kettle and take away Li Ren's daughter, is it possible for Li Ren to stay by his side? The answer is no.

On the one hand, Li Ren and his wife knew that they wanted to separate from their daughter, and on the other hand, they saw Jing Ran's intentions, this was to make a deal for themselves, Jing Ran took away his daughter and protected her, and he Li Ren was going to come to Xicheng to help him.

Jing Ran looked at the expressions of the three of them and felt ridiculous, he leaned down and asked Cai Wei:

"Would my sister like to go to Xicheng with my brother to play? Where are there a lot of hares and deer, go to Xicheng brother to catch you? ”

Where did Cai Wei understand the minds of adults, she only heard that there were rabbits and deer, she was very happy, and hurriedly agreed.

It's in every child's nature to love to play, and it's the same for everyone.

Li Ren and his wife saw that their daughter was so happy, and Li Ren already had a desire to return to obedience in his heart, so they hurriedly agreed, asking Cai Wei to go to Xicheng first, and his father and mother would come later.

"Okay!" Cai Wei clapped her hands happily.

Jiang Yue at this time is not to mention how bad it is, but what is even worse is that it has already arrived in front of his eyes.

This is the letterhead of the Jinyang Army scout, I saw that it reads:

"Five thousand troops from the south of Hexi City, and 30,000 troops from the Northern Chu Army have set off to Jinyang."

"What!" Jiang Yue looked at the letter and suddenly shouted, he didn't care about the etiquette of disguise at this time:

"King, the minister has important matters to deal with, so retire first!"

"Oh, the prince is at his own convenience."

Jing Ran looked at Jiang Yue and smiled slightly, and the harmless expressions of humans and animals appeared on his face again.
