Chapter 55 Undeclared Hearts

Xiaozhu doesn't worry about this. In addition, he has a limited knowledge of military affairs, so he can't worry about it. He listens like listening to gossip. He glanced at another colorful butterfly flying, so he didn't care to listen to it. While chasing the butterfly, he shouted for Zhong Yu and others to help.

Su Xiyao has another feeling. He Ran usually doesn't say much about such things in front of her. Now that she has said it, she must be uncomfortable in her heart, so she looked at him quietly and said softly, "Tay it."

He Ran picked up the tea cup, then put down the wine bottle, took a sip, and said with a little annoyance between his eyebrows: "My brother... Hey."

So far, he has three brothers. Jin Dian has passed away, leaving only Fanwang and Mo Zhuo. Su Xiyao expected that Li Ping's establishment of the country should not be involved in Fan Wang, so the brother in his mouth should be Mo Zhuo, so he asked, "You are talking about the Marquis of Du."

He Ran said with resentment, "It's not him. I think he thinks the marquis is too low and is looking forward to the Duke."

Su Xiyao said anger, "You can't talk about your brother behind your back. He has helped you a lot."

He Ran felt that he was wronged. He blinked his eyes and said aggrievedly, "It's not that I'm disrespectful, it's just... just... how to say, anyway, I think he is thinking about it this time."

Su Xiyao asked puzzledly, "What on earth did he do to make you so unsentful."

He Ran didn't say anything. He lay down on the side of the table, squeezed his lips tightly, and viciously poured the remaining wine in the bottle on a crawling little ant.

Seeing him vent her hatred, Su Xiyao was more curious and asked, "Say it."

He Ran picked up a dead branch and poked the drowned half-dead ant into the wine mud. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He put aside the dead branch and looked at her and said, "What do you think is the reason why the emperor did not allow Li Ping to establish the country?"

Su Xiyao frowned and said, "You mean...this is..."

He Ran sneered and said, "Li Ping is confused. He just thought it was Zhao Yu's obstruction. He lived in a corner like a frog at the bottom of the well. King Zhao can't see anyone else. Now Zhao Kun can't protect himself. There is no qualification to put pressure on the emperor. The only thing that can influence the emperor is Kang."

Su Xiyao muttered, "Don't be so arbitrary. It's not good if you wrong your brother. Maybe this is what the emperor means."

He Ran shook his head with contempt,

Su Xiyao continued, "You really need to think about this matter carefully. Li Ping established the country to destroy Zhao You Dayi. Your brother is very talented, and you won't see it. He should be strongly supported, but how can he be constrained from it?"

He Ran said with a cold face, "That's why I said that he did this without thinking."

"Why do you believe that he is obstructing?"

He Ran said calmly, "There is no one else but him. I dare to use the head to guarantee this."

"There must be a reason."

"It's all him whether it makes sense or not. It can't be wrong." He Ran's resentment came up again,

Su Xiyao looked at him disapprovingly and said, "What is this? You are a military division. The words related to the military and the state can be convincing."

When He Ran heard her say this, he put away his irritability, calmed down for a moment, and said, "At that time, when Li Pinggang mentioned that the emperor did not allow him to establish a country, I immediately thought of this brother. To tell you the truth, it's really an unreasonable intuition. You want to hear the truth, right? OK, I'll tell you."

Su Xiyao looked at him in an instant. At this moment, she really wanted to know the truth,

"It's not a day or two for the emperor to decline. Over the past hundred years, you have heard that the emperor has not allowed any prince to establish a country."

Su Xiyao said, "This is not true, but now that the situation in the world has changed greatly, it is not impossible for the emperor to have some ideas recently."

He Ran smiled faintly and said, "The emperor only hopes that the world will be more chaotic and better. Only in this way can we find the opportunity to seek hegemony again. The best way to make the world chaotic is not to establish a state. The emperor can't wait for someone to jump out and claim the king. We established the country, the state of Xiangguo, and even the state of Qi. That time was not the envoy's entry into the dynasty. The emperor immediately agreed.

Su Xiyao frowned and said nothing, waiting for him to continue,

"My brother." He Ran sighed anxiously and helplessly, and then sighed: "It was not his opponent to tie Xiping's counselors together. At the beginning, the emperor was attached to Xiping. The king of Xiping was arrogant and arrogant. He never took the emperor seriously. Only on that day, the servants also looked at the emperor as he did, and naturally did not know how to make good use of him. Once the emperor falls under the control of the State of Kang, the situation can change now. Look, Li Ping's side can't establish the country with a gentle and clever disappement on the emperor's side. Otherwise, not to mention that the princes of all parties do not recognize him, even the people of Dongchuan will not be willing to submit. If the name is not correct, it will not be smooth.

Su Xiyao thought about it and asked, "Even if he is really obstructing, what is the reason? Why did he do something harmful to the destruction of Zhao? Besides, he should definitely know that we are supporting Li Ping."

He Ran looked at the tea cup with a cold face and stopped talking,

Su Xiyao waited for a while and suggested, "Do you send someone to meet your brother? First, you can confirm your guess, and second, if it's true that he doesn't allow Li Ping to establish a country, you can also lobby for reason. You can't make a conclusion based on guessing. This is not a small matter."

He Ran shook his head slowly and said, "I have sent the messenger, but I just asked him to send a jade exquisite lantern. I said lightly that this is a gift given to me by Li Ping. I love it very much and dare not to honor my brother. I don't say much."

"Why is this? Isn't it good to make it clear?" Su Xiyao is a little worried for him,

He Ran said lightly, "There are some words that don't need to be said. These are enough. I don't want to make him change his mind by this, just to let him know that it was his idea that the emperor refused to allow Li Ping to establish the country."

"But..." Su Xiyao swallowed the following words and paused for a while before asking, "If you guess correctly, what's his purpose?"

He Ran tapped these cases gently with his hand and blinked, "He just wanted me to beg him, and then the lion opened his mouth to make a condition..." Speaking of this, he looked ambiguous, "Maybe he wants to force me to go back to Qi Min's side."

"It's not serious." Su Xiyao, who was listening calmly, didn't expect that he would start to slip again. She looked at him angrily, "Say it quickly, what conditions does he want to mention?"

He Ran smiled and said, "How can I guess everything? Wait, he will definitely tell the messenger what he wants to mention. I guess, it's mostly related to the division of boundaries. In fact, his scheming is really superfluous."

These are not what Su Xiyao cares about. She only cares about He Ran's mood. Now when she sees that his expression is relaxed, she smiles and says, "If this is the case, it's nothing. Haven't you always said that we can't control so many territory? Just give more to Kang Guo. Let's go and have a look over there. What are they playing with, Xiaozhu? Why did they go for such a long time?
