莊帝之將誅尒朱榮也，蘭根聞其計，遂密告尒朱世隆。 As Emperor Zhuang was about to execute Erzhu Rong, Langen heard of the plan and secretly informed Erzhu Shilong.

榮死，蘭根恐莊帝知之，憂懼不知所出。 When Rong died, Langen feared Zhuang would learn of his involvement and was anxious, not knowing what to do.

時應詔王道習見信於莊帝，蘭根乃托附之，求得在外立功。 At the time Wang Daoxi, attendant respondent to edicts, enjoyed Zhuang's trust. Langen attached himself to him, seeking merit in the field.
