When Ji Sunsi heard what Zilu said, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

But when I thought about it again, I felt that it made sense:

"It's just... once Fei Yi falls down the city wall, won't our Ji family have no barrier to speak of? If something unexpected happens, I, the Ji family, will have no way out!"

Zilu was hesitant about Ji Sunsi's hesitation, but he didn't know what to say.

Because his master Confucius had long warned him that he must not be too active in this matter.

Therefore, at this moment, he could only hold up his hands and said:

"Just follow the wishes of the family master."

Ji Sunsi was still undecided, and the quarrels among the students were becoming more and more noisy. This made him a little upset.

Li Ran, on the other hand, had been observing Ji Sunsi's every move from the back row. Seeing this situation, he knew that the time had come, so he immediately walked over.

Ji Sunsi also saw Li Ran, urged Zilu to stand up together, and went to greet him.

After the two of them saluted each other, they both felt that the place was a little noisy, so they lined up the crowd and walked a little further.

Zilu, Gongeryue and Guang'er followed behind.

After finding a secluded place, and after everyone around him became quiet, Li Ran smiled and said:

"I didn't expect that Mr. Jisun would be so elegant today. He would come to the township school assembly and listen to the gossips of these little Confucians!"

But I heard Ji Sunsi sigh and say:

"Just because I heard Zhong Yu mention it, this rural school assembly is also a place where talents come out in large numbers, and there are always some talents who will stand out from the crowd. However, maybe it was an unlucky thing to come here, but I didn't hear any high-level remarks...

…By the way, I wonder why sir is here?”

Li Ran replied with a smile:

"Back then, Li Ran ran away from Luoyi, and when he first arrived in Lu, he was unfamiliar with the place. It was at this rural school gathering that he got to know your father and his uncle and grandson Muzi. Therefore, Li Ran came here today just to

Let’s revisit the old place.”

"Did Master Ji Sun encounter something recently? Why did you think of looking for talented people here?"

Ji Sunsi sighed again and nodded:

"It's exactly what you said! Alas... just because of Fei Yi's matter, it really makes me worried!"

When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly and said:

"Oh, it turns out it's for this matter. Haha, although this matter is also related to the future of the Lu Kingdom, in the final analysis, it is Lord Jisun's family matter. It's not convenient for us to ask!"

"However... the topic of this meeting is also something that Master Zhenghe is concerned about. I wonder what Master Jisun has in mind?"

Ji Sunsi looked dejected and said:

"Hey...it's still hard to decide!"

Therefore, Li Ran immediately followed the trend and invited:

"I wonder... Lord Jisun, do you have some free time? Li has nothing to do at the moment. If Lord Jisun doesn't mind, can you go to the mansion to talk to me?"

Ji Sunsi heard this and immediately replied:

"Very good! It's so good. It's such an honor for Sir to be willing to talk to you!"

So, Li Ran and Ji Sunsi each boarded their own carriages and headed towards the apricot grove outside the city.

Gong Eryue asked a little strangely:

"Sir, why did you invite that Ji Sunsi?"

Li Ran smiled at her and responded to him lightly:

"Haha, just have a heart-to-heart talk with him."

Gong Eryue curled her lips and said:

"With him? With the Ji family? But there's nothing to talk about."

Guang'er's big eyes rolled around and asked:

"Is my father going to talk to him about the demolition of Feiyi? After today's meeting, Ji Sunsi must have been a little shaken in his heart!"

When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but look at Guang'er in surprise.

He didn't expect that Guang'er could see the key to this at such a young age. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel worried:

Did they do it too deliberately? After all, even Guang'er can see it, so Ji Sunsi is not stupid, and he may have doubts in his heart!

Arrive at Li Ran's mansion in Xinglin.

Li Ran asked Gong Eryue to take Guang'er down, while he personally entertained Ji Sunsi and Zilu to the living room.

In the living room, Ji Sunsi was holding a cup of water, but he hesitated to drink it. He only saw a melancholy look on his face.

Li Ran couldn't help but smile when he saw this:

"Lord Jisun...could it be that there is something wrong with the water in this cup?"

After hearing this, Ji Sunsi came back to his senses and replied:

"Oh, how dare you, how dare you..."

Ji Sunsi quickly took a sip of water, drank it all in one gulp, and put the water cup back on the table:

"Mr. Ziming, Si has heard all the arguments in today's gathering. But... whether Fei Yi has to fall down the city wall, Si still has some doubts. I hope Mr. can clear up his doubts!"

Li Ran asked:

"But I don't know...what doubts does Mr. Ji Sun have?"

Ji Sunsi was silent for a moment and winked at Zilu. Zilu immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said:

"Please wait outside, please leave!"

After Zilu finished speaking, he bowed and exited the living room.

In the entire empty living room, only Ji Sunsi and Li Ran were left.

At this time, Ji Sunsi sighed and said:

"Hey... To be honest, sir, I have two worries now!"

"First of all, as we all know, Feiyi is the capital of our Ji family. In addition to our Ji family, the Lu State also has Shusun family and Meng family! If our Ji family demolishes the city wall, wouldn't it be equivalent to

You want me, Ji, to cut off my arms and wrists?"

"Secondly, I, Ji Sunsi, do not have disobedient intentions, but as a member of the Qing family, I naturally have to consider my own family. Now that the world is in chaos and there are no rules on etiquette and music, I am afraid that my family will not be able to do anything.

If this corner of the city is regarded as a barrier, it will be plotted against by others in the future..."

"Sir... today's words are from the bottom of my heart. Mr. Si Zhi is a gentleman. Today, Si is sincerely asking for advice. I hope that Mr. Si can teach me..."

When Li Ran heard these words, he found that Ji Sunsi was indeed confused enough. Otherwise, this question would definitely not be so straightforward with his former "family enemy".

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Ran was also caught off guard by this.

He never thought that the Ji Sunsi in front of him was really completely different from his father Ji Pingzi.

However, Li Ran soon figured out the reason.

After all, it was Yang Hu who supported Ji Sunsi, so his thoughts were relatively simple.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Hu was able to control the state affairs of Lu for several years.

If Yang Hu hadn't messed around with him in the end, it would have been difficult for Yang Hu to overturn just by looking at Ji Sunsi in front of him.

As for Li Ran, although Li Ran hated the Ji family deeply before.

But to a large extent, it was only aimed at Ji Sun Yiru. For his descendants, such as the Ji Sun Si in front of him, he couldn't afford to feel more hatred for the moment.

What's more, now he and Ji Sunsi have the same goal. Therefore, even if Li Ran is not interested in the Ji family, reaching a certain degree of reconciliation with Ji Sunsi is the consensus that Li Ran hopes to reach now.

"Haha, Master Jisun, what are you talking about? Since Master Jisun told Li Ran so sincerely, then Li Ran will not hide it from you anymore!"

"My lord's first concern seems to be very reasonable on the surface, but it is not true. Now that there is a rebellion in Liyi, it will inevitably fall first in the future. Your Majesty, you can wait until Liyi is destroyed before doing this.

Things! By then, the Ji family and the Shusun family have already lost their main cities, how can the Meng family survive alone?"

"As for the last worry, haha, forgive Li Ran for making such bold assumptions. The "other person" that Master Ji Sun is worried about is probably Lu Hou, right?"

Ji Sunsi couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, but he didn't dare to defend himself, because Li Ran directly exposed his deepest worries with one word.

Yes, the main city of the Ji family has been destroyed and the city wall has been destroyed. If the Marquis of Lu and the Ji family fall out at that time, and Fei Yi cannot defend it, wouldn't he just have to run away?

But seeing Ji Sunsi's noncommittal look, Li Ran couldn't help but sneered again and said:

"Haha, Mr. Ji Sun is really overly worried. In the past, ever since Duke Zhao of Lu was dismissed from the Central Army, the Duke of Lu no longer had any real power in the military. And the Ji family now occupies the majority of the three armies.

,So, since the official office does not have military power at the moment, can it still threaten your Ji family?"

"What's more, if the Ji family can serve the monarch well in the future, why should they worry about being abandoned by the Marquis of Lu? Lu Zheng comes from the Ji family. This is an indisputable fact. Could it be that Master Ji Sun has no confidence in this?

What?"

"So... Lord Jisun, compared with Lu Hou, Fei Yi's troubles are probably even greater!"
