When the Wu people saw this, they looked at each other for a while, unable to tell whether it was true or false. At this moment, just as they were hesitating, they heard someone from behind say:
"what's going on?"
When Li Ran heard this, he immediately recognized the voice of a soldier, so Li Ran immediately called back:
"Zixu, is that you?"
But they saw a general in uniform riding his horse from a short distance away. Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was Wu Zixu, a member of the army!
The Wu member also saw Li Ran at the same time and immediately dismounted his horse and saluted:
"It turns out to be Mr.! I heard that Mr. now holds the position of great uncle in Chengzhou, and orders the princes to bring the world back to its heart. Everyone calls Mr. Su 'King Su'! I heard this news not long ago, and I am very happy for Mr.
!”
Li Ran reached out to help the soldier, and saw that he had a head of silver hair under his helmet, and his face, which was originally childish, was now covered with wrinkles.
Obviously, over the years, he had worked hard to destroy Chu and conquer Yue, and he had suffered a lot in the army.
"Zixu, it's great to see you again. But I don't know where Chang Qing is?"
Wu Yuan replied:
"He is arranging troops at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain now! Sir, he used a little trick to trap King Goujian of Yue on Mount Kuaiji. Now King Goujian of Yue is a turtle in the urn, we can capture him soon!"
"By the way, why did you come here, sir? There is a fierce battle between Wu and Yue now. This place is very dangerous. Sir, you really shouldn't be here!"
Li Ran sighed and replied:
"I really have a reason to come here! Zixu, why don't we go to a secluded place to talk first?"
The Wu member immediately ordered to escort Li Ran and others back to the camp. After arriving at the camp, the Wu member asked everyone else to go out first. Chu Dang also went directly to wait outside the tent. Only Li Ran and Fan Li were left in the tent.
Only then did the Wu member ask:
"I don't know why you came here... What is the important matter? In fact, you only need to send a letter, and the minister and brother Changqing can handle it directly for you! Why do you need your husband to come in person?"
Li Ran shook his head and said:
"Hey...it's just because this matter is really difficult to handle..."
Immediately, Li Ran reported to the members of the army everything about Ji Le's mother and daughter being kidnapped by Yue King Gou Jian.
After hearing this, the Wu member couldn't help but widen his eyes with a look of disbelief on his face!
"Ah? There is such a thing!...Now my daughter is also held hostage by the Yue people...but I don't know where they are now? Could it be...that they are on Kuaiji Mountain?"
Li Ran nodded and replied worriedly:
"Well...yes...by then, if they are really in Kuaiji Mountain, it would be too dangerous to rescue them like this! And...I feel that I don't have much time left, so I'm afraid I won't have to wait.
It’s not that time!”
Wu Yuan expressed concern:
"Sir, are you feeling ill? There are good doctors in Wu camp now, so I will ask the doctors to take a look at you!"
Li Ran waved his hand and said calmly:
"That's not necessary. Nowadays, the heart disease is getting worse. Even if there is good medicine, it will not help! Hey... don't mention it! By the way, Zixu, can you make arrangements... for us to go to Kuaiji Mountain immediately? I think
I need to meet this Goujian as soon as possible!"
The Wu member couldn't help but be startled after hearing this. He glanced at Li Ran. After hesitating for a while, he refused:
"Sir, no!... This is really too dangerous! There must be other ways to solve this problem. Please don't be so impulsive, sir!"
Li Ran sighed, shook his head and said:
"This matter is certainly dangerous... but in order to save my wife and daughter, I have to do this! Please help me, Brother Zixu!"
When the Wu members heard this, they couldn't help but look embarrassed again.
Then he sighed slightly and said:
"Now...Brother Changqing is at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain. Why don't you...I send someone to look for him now. Then Sir, I will discuss with Brother Changqing and make a decision...What do you think, Sir?"
Li Ran knew that this matter could never be circumvented by Sun Wu, so he immediately handed over his hand and replied:
"In this way...there will be a job for Zixu!"
The soldier immediately returned the gift and said:
"Please sir, take a rest early. I won't disturb you anymore..."
Immediately, the Wu member ordered someone to bring two quilts, and he left in advance.
Not long after the soldier left, Li Ran was pacing back and forth in the tent, thinking about the conversation he had just had with the soldier.
Suddenly, his expression changed, he stamped his feet, and said in surprise:
"It's broken! It's broken!"
Fan Li saw it from the side and said puzzledly:
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Li Ran said:
"Zixu... I'm afraid he won't tell Chang Qing the news! Just now... I was negligent!"
Fan Li said in surprise:
"Brother Zixu and Mr. Zixu are old acquaintances. Logically speaking, it shouldn't happen, right? Could it be possible... could he still harm Mr. Xin?"
Li Ran shook his head and said:
"He will not harm me, but he will definitely prevent me from going up to Kuaiji Mountain! Le'er and Guang'er are currently in Gou Jian's hands. If I go up the mountain like this, it will be extremely detrimental to the state of Wu! And Wu Yuan is now loyal to Wu
How can the country let me go up the mountain easily?"
"So, he will definitely stop me from going to Kuaiji Mountain, and he won't even let us meet with Chang Qing!"
When Fan Li heard the words, he thought about it carefully and couldn't help but nodded. He felt that what Li Ran said was extremely reasonable.
"Then...what should we do?"
Fan Li asked, and Li Ran paused for a moment, came closer to Fan Li, and told him:
"Young uncle, you should go to Kuaiji Mountain in disguise now. You must find Chang Qing and ask him to come to see me! Only Chang Qing can help me with this matter..."
Li Ran knew very well that although Wu Yuan had a close relationship with him, Wu Yuan would never do anything detrimental to the state of Wu because of his obsession and loyalty.
King Helu of Wu was kind to him, and King Helu of Wu died at the hands of King Goujian of Yue. In order to repay this kindness, he did his best to destroy Yue.
Moreover, Wu Yuan can be said to have inherited the Wu family’s tradition of being loyal to the master. In the Wu family, loyalty to the king is everything to them! In the past, Wu Ju was like this, Wu She was like this, and Wu Yuan was like that!

"No! Li will go right away!"
Without any pause, Fan Li secretly went outside the camp to change into Wu Jun's clothes and headed to Kuaiji Mountain. Li Ran, on the other hand, rested behind Wu Jun. After all, he was exhausted from the fatigue of traveling and traveling during this period.
Early the next morning, the military personnel came to Li Ran's camp to visit, and Li Ran said calmly:
"I wonder if Zixu sent someone to inform Changqing?"
Wu Yuan said:
"Sir, don't worry. The commander has sent someone to the front camp to inform Brother Changqing. I think he will be back soon. Please be patient, sir!"
Li Ran didn't say anything, he just said:
"Well, that's very good!"
After the soldiers bowed, they looked left and right, but did not find Fan Li, and they couldn't help but wonder:
"Huh? I wonder where the young uncle has gone?"
Li Ran replied casually:
"Oh, he. Just because he was depressed in the camp, he went to walk around outside the camp."
Wu Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Ran.
"Sir...could it be that you can't trust the soldier? Did you send him to the front camp to look for him?"
Li Ran couldn't help but shuddered, and after thinking about it carefully, he knew that Wu Yuan was smart, so he couldn't hide this matter. So, he had no choice but to bow directly and apologize:
"I hope Zixu Haihan... It's not that I don't trust Zixu, it's just because I know that Zixu is a man of temperament, and he must be in a dilemma to avenge his late master. So I made my own decision and asked my young uncle to go find General Sun!
"
The Wu member raised his eyebrows, feeling faintly angry, and said:
"Sir... the war is going on now, and the military officers strongly disapprove of your husband going up the mountain! Although he does have a reason to go, the military officers also have reasons to stop him!"
Li Ran let out a long sigh.
"Zixu, I know you are worried that I will help Gou Jian after I go up the mountain... But now that the defeat of the Yue Kingdom has been determined, even if I go up the mountain, it will not help. And if this can save my wife and my daughter,
Life, but... even if you die, you can still have peace of mind..."
"Besides, the life of King Yue now only depends on King Wu's thoughts, so no matter what I do, it will not affect the overall situation here!"
"I also ask Zixu to remember our old friendship and let me go to Kuaiji Mountain to rescue my wife and daughter. Then... I can't thank you enough!"
