Chapter 80

Ran Fei's next move is to let the King of Qi return the military power of the entire north to him, and to let the King of Qi do this to make him truly believe in Ran Fei, the best way is to become the crown prince or queen's henchman on the surface, as long as the King of Qi knows that Ran Fei is one of the confidants of the two, he will relax his vigilance and exchange the military power to Ran Fei, and among them, Ran Fei cannot show a little rebellious heart, on the contrary, he needs to be more humble.

Ran Fei knew that although the queen trusted herself, the queen family did not trust her, because the queen family would not trust a person who killed the expired clansmen, so the surveillance in the north would not be relaxed, and the only way was that Ran Fei needed to get the trust of the prince and become his confidant, and Ran Fei also believed that the prince would believe in himself, and the prince needed himself, because Liang Wenbing was not his person, and to become a king, the first thing was to have an army.

Ran Fei smiled again.

The power of the Hou family is strong, and the crown prince needs more support, but everyone knows that Liang Wenbing is a member of the Hou family, and the main force of the Qi State is in the hands of the King of Qi, and the only one who can win over is Ran Fei in the north.

Moreover, Ran Fei's eldest brother Yuan Qi also killed the people of the Hou family, and the estrangement between the two must be indelible, so the prince and his staff decided to gradually win over Ran Fei.

Ran Fei is a famous general, and it may not be so easy to win over, so the prince decided to start with Tiandan first, so he was very modest to go to Tianfu with many gifts to ask about the governance of the government, Ran Fei arranged people around Tiandan, after knowing the prince's movements, he knew in his heart that the prince wanted to kill two birds with one stone, because not only in the Qi country, but also in the entire Central Plains, they all know the relationship between Tiandan and Ran Fei, and the comradeship who gets along day and night. King Qi asked Tian Dan to be the prime minister, on the one hand, to monitor Tian Dan, and on the other hand, it was also to restrain Ran Fei, because King Qi believed that Tian Dan and Ran Fei would be invincible in the world together, and as long as they were separated and one of them was monitored, they would not pose a threat.

Ran Fei also wanted to have contact with the prince, but because of the strict surveillance of the Hou family, Ran Fei never found a suitable opportunity, and finally, two months later, on Tian Dan's birthday, he invited many people to come to the house as guests, and Ran Fei was also among them.

King Qi did not arrive in person, but only sent congratulatory messages and gifts, but in order to express his sincerity in friendship, the prince came in person, the purpose of which was not only to make friends with Tian Dan, but also to make friends with Ran Fei.

When everyone sat down at the banquet, after the polite words were finished, and the song and dance performance was over, the prince immediately walked out of the banquet and said: "I heard early in the morning that Marshal Ran is brave and resourceful, and his achievements are world-renowned, and he is a rare general today. I think so, how about asking Ran Shangqing to dance the sword for us once, to help the fun? ”

Ran Fei intended to befriend the prince, of course he would not refuse, and after agreeing, he pulled out his long sword and danced in the hall. After the dance, Ran Fei was so modest that he hugged his fists at the prince and Tian Dan and said respectfully: "It's ugly." ”

The prince immediately picked up his wine glass and stood up and said to Ran Fei: "How can Marshal Ran's martial arts be ugly? Ask today, who doesn't know Marshal Ran's wisdom and martial arts! Then the prince turned to everyone present and said, "Do you think so? ”

Who was present dared not to give the prince face, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes!" However, the marshal is wise and martial, and he is famous all over the world! ”

Ran Fei held the sword in both hands and said respectfully: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The crown prince helped Ran Fei up: "Ran Shangqing has a lot of credit, but I heard that someone said bad things about you in my father's ear, don't worry!" Tomorrow I will tell my father to stop listening to slander! ”

Ran Fei was very happy when he heard this, but he didn't show it, but once again respectfully hugged his sword and said: "The prince is sympathetic to his subordinates, and his subordinates are grateful!" ”

When the prince heard Ran Fei say this, he was very relieved, and his desire to win over Ran Fei became even stronger.

Ran Fei thought in his heart, the meaning of the prince's words, and he was also very happy in his heart, as long as the prince thought that he had the heart to become his henchman, then all the military power in the north would be back in his hands just around the corner.

That night, in Ran Fei's house, one of the prince's attendants brought several beauties.

The attendant said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sympathetic to Ran Shangqing, let me find a few beautiful women to comfort you." ”

Ran Fei's face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly refused: "Don't don't, I can't see this scene, you leave people down!" Tell the prince that I thank him for his kindness. ”

The attendant wavered, but looking at Ran Fei's appearance, it was impossible to accept it, so he left Ran Fei's house with people.

When the prince heard the news of his attendants, he muttered, "He doesn't like beautiful women? ”

The attendant replied, "Yes!" ”

The prince said, "Since you don't like beautiful women, then I'll give money." I'll see if you want it. ”

Three days later, Ran Fei said goodbye to Tian Dan, Tian Dan sent Ran Fei to the city gate of Linzi, Ran Fei was clasping his fists and thanking him: "Brother Tian, I'm leaving!" ”

Tian Dan: "Go all the way!" ”

At this time, a team of people appeared, Tian Dan knew the leading guard, it was the prince's person, and the prince was here to see Ran Fei off.

The leader walked up to Ran Fei and hugged his fists and said, "Marshal Ran!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to see you off! ”

After the leading guard finished speaking, the prince walked down from the carriage behind him, Ran Fei had already ridden the horse, and when he saw the prince coming in person, he immediately dismounted, and Tian Dan stepped forward to hug his fists and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Prince: "I learned that you are going back to Jiyang today, so I am here to see you off." ”

Ran Fei hugged his fists: "How can Ran Fei be virtuous, the prince will come in person!" ”

Prince: "Eh! Marshal Ran is one of the restored generals of my Qi country, and as the future king of Qi country, I should naturally be sympathetic to the heroes! The prince turned around, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the several carriages in front of him: "I heard that Marshal Ran is cutting back on food and clothing for the north, as a general in the north, how can you take care of your health, I will give you this money today, I hope you can live a better life." ”

Ran Fei scolded in his heart: "Damn, labor and management eat bran vegetables in the north, and you have to send so many belongings casually." But on the surface, he replied respectfully: "Thank you for the prince's love, since the prince sincerely sent it, then I will accept it!" ”

When the prince saw Ran Fei accept it, he thought in his heart: "I also said that this Ran Fei was incorruptible, but I didn't expect that when I saw a few carts of property, my eyes straightened, and I accepted it without pushing it, it seems that he is also a person who is honest on the surface and actually loves money." Before being so honest, he must have done it for his father to see, hum! But on the surface, he said, "Eh! Of course, it's sincere, I'm afraid that you won't accept it! ”

Ran Fei knelt down on one leg and hugged his sword and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status, it is good to be able to send me in person, and today I sent such a valuable thing, I Ran Fei can't repay it!" ”

The prince immediately helped him up: "Eh! You were originally a loyal minister of my Qi country, I naturally believe in you, don't worry, I will report to my father when I go back, and let him return all the military power in the north to you! ”

Ran Fei replied: "Thank you, prince!" ”
