The prisoner Hou was overjoyed when he heard this. He patted his thigh and said:

"Okay! If Brother Chi is willing to take action, this matter will be done!"

But immediately, the criminal Hou hesitated again:

"It's just...your legs and feet..."

Si Chi smiled slightly and said nonchalantly:

"With my legs and feet, I can travel thousands of miles to Liyi, so what's the difficulty in going to Qi by car? Brother Fu, I only need to prepare a carriage and come all the way from Chi. I have made no effort. Now I am with you.

It’s a time when brothers are in trouble together!”

When the prisoner heard this, he couldn't help but be moved and said:

"Brother Chi is truly a righteous man! In this time of crisis, Brother Chi is helping me, and I can't thank you enough!"

Si Chi said:

"Brother, you don't have to be like this. We have a deep love for each other as brothers. Why do you need to say this?"

Hou Feng and Si Chi had been colleagues for many years, and they had been together in Liyi since the time of Uncle Sun Muzi (Uncle Sun Bao).

One is Gong Zheng and the other is Ma Zheng. They often looked after each other in their previous work, so the two of them can be said to have a close friendship.

Before that, the reason why Si Chi and Li Ran wanted to pretend to be snakes was not only a temptation, but also because of this level of concern.

However, Si Chi was also very aware of the great righteousness, and he also knew that his personal relationship with Hou Fu was insignificant in the face of the great righteousness of the country.

After all, what the criminal Hou is doing now can be said to be extremely harmful to the Lu country and even the world.

Before leaving, the prisoner personally sent Si Chishi to the city gate.

Si Chi Gongshou said:

"Brother Feng, my wife and children are here. I hope Brother Fang will take good care of them!"

"Brother Chi, don't worry. I traveled thousands of miles to come to join me. How could I not treat my children well? Brother Chi, just don't worry!"

Si Chi nodded, and with the help of his servants, he tremblingly climbed onto the carriage.

Seeing that his legs and feet were inconvenient, the prisoner felt a little pity for him, and at the same time he trusted him more.

At this time, Shusun Yu, who had not spoken for a long time, said rather doubtfully from the side:

"This Si Chi has been away from Liyi for many years. I'm afraid he has another purpose when he comes back this time..."

After hearing this, the prisoner couldn't help but glared at Uncle Sunnoi.

"Master Shusun is really overly worried. It was because he built the city of Li. It was he who built the city of Li into a copper and iron wall, so now he is not tolerated by the people of Lu, and even his legs and feet are broken. Now, the whole family is

If you come here to seek refuge, how can you have any second thoughts?"

"On the other hand, Mr. Shusun... you first surrendered to Yanghu, then to Feiyi, and now you are here again. Your thoughts are really elusive!"

"Although the trapped city of Pei can still be defended, it is not as stable as a rock. Fortunately, a friend has come to surrender. If everyone has such doubts about him, can our city of Pei be defended for a long time?

"

When Uncle Sun heard this, he could only cover his nose in embarrassment and said:

"It's just a reminder, how can it be that you have second thoughts?"

"It's better if you don't have it! Lord Shusun, you... you better think more about how you will deal with yourself after the city of Qi is presented to Qi in the future!"

Obviously, as a soldier, the criminal Hou was very outspoken. He had no scruples in showing off his cards to his uncle: "It is no longer possible for your uncle to start a new business in Liyi. It's better for you to go elsewhere as soon as possible."

.

As for Shusun Zhe, it was obvious that he had made trouble for himself by the prisoner Hou. He could only laugh dryly to cover it up, and then said:

"Haha, let's wait until Qi Ren really sends someone here. It won't be too late!"

The criminal Hou curled his lips with him, then turned and left.

Uncle Sunye clenched his fist slightly and followed behind him. He was now like a bereaved dog.

The key point is that as the potential leader of the Shusun clan, the criminals were obviously not polite enough to him, and he was not even as good as a mere Gongzheng from Liyi.

This certainly made him a little more resentful, but he had to rely on the criminal.

Not long after they returned to the mansion, suddenly, a few of the soldiers who had just been sent out to protect Si Chi escaped back.

The criminal Hou couldn't help being surprised and asked why.

It turned out that after Si Chi came out of Liyi, although the Qi State had withdrawn its troops, Sanhuan's army was still stationed not far away, and there were often scouting horses wandering around.

Therefore, after Si Chi's whereabouts were discovered, he was immediately surrounded.

In a hurry, Si Chi asked the groom to gallop.

Although he rushed out successfully, the foot soldiers like them did not have such good foot strength after all, so they had to flee back into the city first.

When the prisoner heard this, he couldn't help but become more worried about Si Chi, but he could do nothing about it.

…

But what about actually?

All of this was actually discussed between Li Ran and Si Chi before.

The purpose was to enable Si Chi to successfully escape from the control of the soldiers sent by the marquis prisoners.

Therefore, Si Chi rushed out of the siege without any danger.

When he arrived at the border of Qi State, he opened the second tip bag given to him by Li Ran and took a look.

Si Chidun was convinced, so after he entered the country, he went straight to the post house and directly revealed his identity, saying that he had come to dedicate the city with the book of Li Yi!

After hearing this, the people in the post house did not dare to neglect him, so they directly controlled Si Chi and sent him to the capital.

The news that Li Yi came to offer the city was quickly spread back to Linzi.

When Qi Hou Chujiu heard the news, he couldn't help but be surprised at first.

He hurriedly sent people to welcome Si Chi to the capital. At the same time, he called Tian Qi, Gao Zhang and others to come to discuss.

Qihou Chujiu said:

"This matter is quite strange. Not long after the Qi army attacked Li Yi, the prisoner now sent people to offer the city again? My dear friends, what do you think of this matter?"

Guo Xia frowned and said:

"This matter is strange. Could it be that... there is fraud in it?"

Gao Zhangze also echoed:

"It is indeed elusive. Your Majesty, you must be careful to avoid being fooled!"

Qihou Chujiu stroked his beard.

"So...I can't agree?"

Tian Qi thought about it for a while and then said:

"Your Majesty, you might as well meet these people first to see if they are sincere in coming to surrender. If they are sincere, then Your Majesty can take over the city of Li. Wouldn't it be wonderful? In this way, the Kingdom of Lu can be conquered without spending a single soldier.

A large city, extending southward to the Central Plains, why would your Majesty not enjoy it?"

"The Kingdom of Jin has declined, and the Jindong Alliance has been formed. Now that we have gained another battleground for military strategists, our hegemony will soon be established!"

Tian Qi's meal of painting cakes only made Qi Hou Chujiu feel itchy.

This Jindong Alliance was like pie in the sky, and now they had a free city. This made him think that it was really destined by God that he would regain the hegemony of Duke Huan of Qi in his lifetime?

When Qi Hou Chujiu thought of this, he couldn't help but said excitedly:

"What Tian Qing said is true! This is God's praise for our country of Qi! However, I still don't know if this prisoner is sincere in coming to surrender..."

Tian Qi analyzed:

"Although Peyi relied on city defense and was the main force that defeated Lu State's Three Huans and our Qi State, it is an isolated city after all. Naturally, it wants to find a backer. The criminal Hou must be well aware of this, so he came to surrender.

!No matter what, your Majesty must not miss this opportunity!"

Qihou Chujiu couldn't help but nodded, and continued to ask:

"Then...who is the envoy from Liyi this time?"

Tian Qi stepped forward and replied:

"I heard that the person who came here is called Si Chi, and he seems to be Gongzheng from Li Yi in the past! It is said that the reason why Li Yi is the size it is now is because of this person! I think this person must also have a high status in Li Yi. Wait for this

After the person arrives, listen to what he has to say first, and then you can make any calculations later!"

Qihou Chujiu nodded and said:

"What Tian Qing said is true. Let me wait for this person to arrive and meet with all my dear friends before I make a decision!"

In fact, after Tian Qi's words, Qi Hou Chujiu was even more eager to settle the matter.

Two days later, Si Chi finally arrived in Linzi, and Qi Hou Chujiu immediately summoned him.

I saw Si Chi limping up to the main hall, kneeling on the ground with great difficulty, and said:

"Gongzheng Sichi of the city of Lu is paying homage to the Marquis of Qi!"

Qihou Chujiu raised his hand slightly, with some doubts in his heart. Is this man actually a lame person?

"Please get up!" Si Chi sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you, but I have an injury on my lower leg. I have been running all the way to avoid being chased, and the injury is serious. I am afraid that I will not be able to stand for a long time..."

When Qi Hou Chujiu saw that he was indeed injured, he ordered his left and right:

"Come here! Give me a seat!"
