The reason why Wu Ju came here today was originally for testing, but now it turned into asking for advice.
As a favorite of the King of Chu, Wu Ju, the King of Chu's trust in him was far greater than that of other officials.
As for Wu Ju, he was also grateful for King Chu's kindness to their Wu family, and he had been thinking about how to repay King Chu for his kindness.
Therefore, although Wu Ju was born in the army, he has always paid great attention to these principles of governing the country and ensuring peace.
Especially in the face of the current internal worries of Chu State, although Wu Ju was vaguely aware of it, he had no way to do anything about it.
Today I am fortunate enough to be able to talk to Li Ran and ask him for advice on how to avoid this disaster.
However, what made him a little disappointed was that even the prescription given by a wise man like Li Ran made the Chu people a little acclimated to this problem.
"Self-denial and restoration of propriety" was too difficult for both the King of Chu himself and the people of Chu.
Moreover, this problem must ultimately be solved by the Chu people themselves. As a foreign minister, it is really difficult for him, Li Ran, to do this.

This is definitely not because Li Ran is unwilling to give everything to him, but in fact, he is also powerless.
At this moment, a waiter outside the garden came in to report that Wu Yu, Wu Ju's grandson, came to visit.
When Li Ran heard this, Wu Ju actually came with his grandson. He thought to himself that the whole Wu family really worked together. The grandson had come again before his grandfather had finished his work.
But Wu Ju just smiled brightly, cupped his hands towards Li Ran and said:
"Haha, to be honest, my humble grandson has long heard that General Sun next to Mr. Sun is a man with strong martial arts. Recently, he heard that General Sun came to Chu State with Mr. Sun, so he wanted to compare with General Sun.
, so I came uninvited today, don’t be surprised if I ask you sir.”
It turned out that this warrior came to visit because he came to compete with Sun Wu!
After Li Ran heard this, he immediately turned to look at Sun Wu:
"Haha, it seems that Chang Qing is also famous now."
Sun Wu also looked confused at this time, but stood there without saying a word.
Li Ran saw that Sun Wu was noncommittal, but he also knew that Sun Wu's competition was absolutely impossible to avoid even if he wanted to. So, he returned the favor with Wu Ju and said respectfully:
"Haha, it seems that the Wu family is really full of talents."
"In that case, please let Sun come in."
In fact, Li Ran knew in his heart that Wu Ju came to see Sun Wu to test his martial arts, and it was probably Wu Ju's instruction.
As for why, I will explain it later.
After Li Ran finished speaking, the guard went to bring the soldiers in.
I saw that the soldier looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was still quite immature in appearance and had a pretty face. He had a scholarly atmosphere unique to the southern nobles in his bones, even though he was holding a three-foot long sword in his hand.
.
"Commander, come and see sir."
When Wu Ju saw his grandson coming in, he hurriedly introduced him.
"This is my humble grandson, Wu Yuan, Wu Zixu."
When Li Ran suddenly heard the word "Wu Zixu", he couldn't help but feel a "thump" in his heart.
"Oh my god, I almost forgot. It turns out that this person is the famous Wu Zixu!"
Wu Yuan, named Zixu, was the instigator of the "digging up the grave and whipping the corpse" of King Ping of Chu decades later.
This is also a fierce man!
Even when Li Ran saw such a high-spirited young man Wu Zixu, his eyelids twitched, which showed how heroic this man was.
At this time, the military members certainly did not expect that they would turn against each other in the future and become a nightmare for everyone in the Chu Kingdom.
Upon hearing his grandfather's words, Wu Zixu immediately bowed forward, raised his hands above his head, and bowed respectfully to Li Ran.
"Member Wu meets you sir."
Although Wu Zixu is now a few years younger than Li Ran, since his grandfather respectfully calls Li Ran sir, Wu Zixu does not dare to presume on his superiority.
However, at this time, Li Ran was still deeply involved in the "great deeds" of the soldier in the future, and he suddenly woke up when he saw the soldier coming to pay his respects.
"Zixu, no need to be polite, please come and take a seat."
Compared with Wu Ju, the future Wu Yuan was actually the fierce man who truly made the entire Chu country fearful.
As for such a fierce man, Li Ran, as a future science student, had gone through twelve years of compulsory education. No matter how bad his Chinese history was, it was impossible that he had not heard of Wu Zixu.
But in this excitement, he forgot the rules of this era: Wu Ju is still sitting here, how dare he sit down? He can only stand at this moment.
The military officer also mistakenly thought that Li Ran's words were just polite remarks, so he immediately bowed and saluted again, and said:
"I came here today. I just want to compete with Sun Changqing, who is under your command, and I hope you can do it."
The taciturn staff member directly explained his purpose of coming, without any courtesy at all.
When Li Ran heard this, he knew that if Sun Wu didn't show his hand today, Wu Ju and Wu Yuan would probably not agree, so he immediately turned around and gave Sun Wu a look.
Sun Wu understood, and immediately stepped forward from behind Li Ran:
"In that case, I would like to ask brother Zixu for advice."
So, the two came to the open space in the garden and stood facing each other. Li Ran and Wu Ju both walked out and waited intently.
There is not so much emphasis on practicing martial arts these days. For example, setting a date, or publicizing it in a big way to give yourself a little extra bonus, these are non-existent.
After all, the warriors of this era were still at the level of "military martial arts", and there was no sect. Even a knight-errant organization like the Mo family would not appear until decades later.
Therefore, warriors with a military background pay more attention to killing intent and are more decisive. Therefore, naturally there is no such thing as a few opening remarks before a fight.
Not long after, Sun Wu and Wu Yuan fought directly.
According to the age of the two of them, Sun Wu is actually only three years older than Wu Yuan, but Wu Yuan's body of fifteen or sixteen years old contains extremely powerful power, and his attacks can be said to be particularly swift. Even Sun Wu can't help but
It was a surprise.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fortunately, Sun Wu has experience in the battlefield after all, and his ability to adapt to the situation is also top-notch. With only two or three simple moves, he is a general.
As soon as the soldiers came up, they were able to parry a rather fierce attack.
Then the two of them exchanged a few tentative moves.
Li Ran saw very clearly from the sidelines that the martial arts of the soldiers clearly had the aura of Chu's military martial arts, they were fierce and quick, and there was a strong aura in their bones.
But Sun Wu seemed a little...
It's not that it's passive, it can only be said to be a mixture of virtual and real. Although the moves are very powerful, they don't directly hit the vital point.
What's more, they use the changes in moves to create a sense of uncertainty for the opponent. This makes the opponent always have some scruples and dare not take the plunge.
This was actually not Sun Wu's usual style. I'm afraid it was also a habit he had slowly developed after following Li Ran for many years.
Never advance rashly without clearly seeing your opponent's weaknesses and without being sure that you can defeat them in one blow.
As the saying goes, "Be invincible first, then wait for the enemy to be victorious." Obviously, even from Sun Wu's moves, we can already see a trace of his future success as a military strategist.
The two of them played several more rounds in the open space, but they were still tied.
He saw that the soldiers became more and more courageous as they fought. Gradually, the arrogance in his bones was aroused. However, what he did not expect was that the more fiercely he attacked, the more he lost to Sun Wu.
To the advantage, they even fell into the traps set by Sun Wu one after another, and were suppressed by him one after another.
He was already young and energetic, but his blood could not help but surge up for a moment, and his moves became more fierce, directly attacking Sun Wu's vitals.
When Wu Ju saw this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and became a little worried about his grandson's arrogant behavior.
But Li Ran still had a disapproving look on his face, still looking at it with ease, and from time to time he would cheer for the wonderful exchanges between the two.
As for Sun Wu who was among them, he had a calm face. No matter what moves the soldiers used to attack, or the direction in which the soldiers attacked, he always defended with his sword without revealing any flaws. The bronze sword in his hand was like a piece of steel.
The copper wall and the iron wall, no matter how hard the soldiers hit them, they will always stand there.
