Anyang City, on the city wall.

General Meng Kedi looked out of the city wall with both hands. He turned his head and asked Li Chi, "Mr. Li, what do you think of this Nanping River?"

Li Chi replied: "Magnificent, important."

Originally, Li Chi was going to visit the General's Mansion after he arrived, but Meng Kedi set the meeting on the wall of Anyang City.

What does this mean naturally? It is to let Li Chi see something, or let others see Li Chi.

“Magnificent, important…”

Meng Kedi repeated Li Chi's four words and couldn't help but smile and said, "Does Mr. Li's evaluation have only four words for such a big river?"

Li Chi leaned over and replied, "When I say the general, I am just a businessman. I am talking about magnificent because I first saw Nanping River. For a moment, I could only think of the word magnificent."

"It is because I am just a businessman... The canal transportation on the Nanping River is not only related to the commerce of Yuzhou and Jizhou, but also to the wealth of the entire Central Plains."

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Meng Kedi laughed when he heard Li Chi's words, nodded and said, "You are really a qualified businessman."

Although I approve it, I still couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Li Chi is indeed just a businessman's mind. In his eyes, the Nanping River is all money. Perhaps in his eyes, what flows in the Nanping River is not water, but silver.

But it is precisely because of the mind of this businessman that he has limited his thoughts.

The Nanping River is the lifeline, the division between the north and the south, and the natural barrier.

He looked at Li Chi and asked, "Then let me ask you one thing... Businessmen do business for profit, so what is profit, and how to pursue profit?"

Li Chi replied: "I asked myself this question at the beginning of my business, even earlier than my father asked me this question."

Meng Kedi smiled and said, "Then what is your answer?"

"Businessmen seek profit, small profits are gold and silver, and big profits are status."

After answering this sentence, Li Chi smiled and said, "But this sentence is not what I answered myself, but what my father said."

Meng Kedid said: "Tell me carefully why answering your father's words is different from answering your own words."

Li Chi smiled and said, "Because the answer I gave myself is not allowed to be on the table, it's a bit vulgar."

Meng Kedi was even more curious. He looked at Li Chi and waited for Li Chi's answer.

Li Chi smiled embarrassedly. He is always so harmless when he smiles.

He replied, "If I didn't say that, how could my father pass on the business to me."

Meng Kedi was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing.

He asked, "You haven't said yet, why are you doing business?"

Li Chi replied: "To pretend."

Seeing Meng Kedi look surprised, he explained a few words, seriously.

"If a person is very powerful but no one knows that he is very powerful, wouldn't it be in vain?"

Li Chi said: "It's like walking in brocade clothes at night, not happy at all."

He looked at Meng Kedai and said, "I don't care about the general, I'm not afraid of laughing at him. The purpose of my business was to live more comfortable than others, and to let others see me more comfortable than them. If others can't see me, I will pretend to him."

Meng Kedi looked at Li Chi and nodded: "The idea is indeed very simple, but it is indeed very practical."

He turned his head and looked at Ding Shengjia and Xue Chunbao standing beside him. The former looked smiling, while the latter looked disdainful.

Ding Shengjia made Li Chi's praising him so much that he was so popular, but at this time Li Chi's answer was just a nouveau riche's face.

If he said it more plainly, it would be... having money is to pretend, but not having money, what is the purpose of doing.

About a few steps away, an Anyang soldier standing there turned his head.

He turned his head to prevent others from seeing that he couldn't hold back his smile.

When the young marquis heard that Meng Kedi was about to see Li Chi on the city wall, he suddenly felt like he was having fun.

He wanted to wear clothes of Anyang soldiers and stood in the queue, in the second row of the queue.

Hearing what Li Chi said, he really couldn't help it.

Li Chi seemed to have no sense of Meng Kedi's faint disdain at all, nor did he see Xue Chunbao's strong disdain.

He still said to himself: "I work hard to make money just to let others see that I am living a good life, otherwise why should I work hard?"

He sighed softly: "Anyway, I don't work hard and I don't lack money."

Meng Kedi nodded. He didn't want to continue talking about this topic.

Li Chi is also a typical young and vigorous spirit. If he is older, how could he say such things in front of a group of generals?

The little marquis Cao Lie finally held back his laughter and said to myself that Li Duidu, you aroused my a little bit of fighting spirit.

Cao Lie is a person who thinks his life is boring.

He has everything since he was born, and has no goal or desire to strive for.

What Li Chi said at this time made him feel that it was a bit interesting, thinking that he would try some business with his father after he went back?

After they chatted on the city wall for a while, Meng Kedi gradually shifted the topic to Jizhou.

Even he himself did not notice it, because Li Chi's words made him relax his vigilance against Li Chi.

It was not just him, because of these words, no one of the generals on the city wall looked a little more contemptuous.

At this moment, Li Chi in their eyes was just a playboy who wanted to prove that he was capable.

Meng Kedidou: "Is business in Jizhou easy to do?"

Li Chi replied: "Other businesses are not easy to do, but the business of the pharmaceutical company has no impact."

What Meng Kedi wanted to hear was not the business of a medicine shop, but what he wanted to know was about the Jizhou army.

"Your medicine store is so big in Jizhou, so you should have a close relationship with the defenders of Jizhou."

Meng Kedi, who didn't want to test anything, directly raised a more sensitive question.

Li Chi looked stunned for a moment, and his face also changed.

This acting is natural.

He replied a little embarrassedly: "General, I am just a businessman."

Meng Kedi smiled and said, "I don't care about you, and I don't steal your business, I'm just a little curious."

He looked into Li Chi's eyes and said, "Your business is all over Jizhou, and Jizhou is now owned by Luojing. Those who stay in Jizhou are another group of Yanshan bandits..."

He looked at Li Chi and asked, "So I guess, the essential medicines for the defenders are all sold by you Shen Yitang."

Li Chi became even more embarrassed.

After a moment, he nodded: "Yes, the general is right. The essential medicines for the soldiers in Jizhou are all from Shen Yitang."

Meng Kedi sighed: "It's a good business..."

He suddenly changed his subject: "Mr. Li, since your Shenyitang provides medicine to the defenders of Jizhou, why do you bring medicinal materials to Anyang?"

Li Chi was stunned.

Meng Kedi's tone became even colder: "Is Mr. Li coming with some ulterior motive?"

Li Chi subconsciously shook his head, and was forced to take a step back by Meng Kedi's gaze.

"I... may not come. It was General Ding's invitation..."

Li Chi replied stumblely.

Meng Kedi snorted: "Young Master Li, you are flickering. I'm afraid there is a ghost in your heart. If I see through you, you will be scared like this."

He walked a few steps forward, looked at Li Chi's eyes and said, "Can you be a person from Luojing who came to inquire about the military situation in Anyang?"

Li Chi's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were particularly complicated.

But in such a complicated look, Meng Kedi actually understood the kind that Li Chi wanted to express the most.

The question flashed in Li Chi's eyes was... You said so much, just want to steal my money.

After a while, Li Chi suddenly took a deep breath. He looked at Meng Kedi and said seriously: "The general is looking for an excuse to detain my goods."

Meng Kedixin said...it's so fucking.

He looked into Li Chi's eyes and said, "Do you really think I want to use this as an excuse to detain your goods?"

The little marquis Cao Lie, not far away, turned his head again, and he couldn't help laughing again, almost laughing out loud.

Here, Li Duidu is so interesting.

Even if you think so, you can't say it outright.

Li Chi said: "When I was in Shengfang County, I told General Ding that I can give these medicinal materials directly to General Meng. At that time, General Ding told me that you should buy your medicinal materials as much as you should..."

Meng Kedidou: "What I suspect now is that you may be doing things for the Jizhou army, rather than deducting your medicinal materials."

Li Chi said word by word: "I don't believe it."

With a squeak... Cao Lie couldn't help it anymore and laughed in the second row.

Meng Kedi looked over there, Cao Lie squatted and laughed, and waved his hand at Meng Kedi, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I can't help it, hahaha, he said he doesn't believe it."

Meng Kedi's face turned ugly.

Li Chi stood there, as if he looked sure.

Meng Kedi snorted and waved his hand and said, "Take him down and take care of him, search his caravan, and if you find any people or things related to the Jizhou Army, everyone will be imprisoned."

He glared at Li Chi: "If you weren't doing things for the Jizhou Army, I wouldn't have wronged you. If you were, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Li Chi said with a certain determination: "General, don't have to work so hard. I'll give you all the medicinal materials. We will leave Anyang City today."

Xue Chunbao, who was behind Meng Kedi, said angrily: "Are you looking for death?"

Li Chi turned his head and looked at him. After only one glance, his eyes returned to Meng Kedi's side again.

It was this glance that really angered Xue Chunbao.

A rough man like Xue Chunbao understood Li Chi's eyes...That guy meant that I ignored you, you are not as good as the official named Meng.

"General!"

Xue Chunbao said loudly: "Leave this person to me!"

Meng Kedi turned his head and glared at him. Although Xue Chunbao was fierce and violent, he did not dare to fight against Meng Kedi, and quickly lowered his head.

Meng Kedi ordered: "Ding Shengjia, take your people to take care of all Li Duidu's caravans, and everyone must check."

Ding Shengjia leaned over and said, "Subordinate obeys the order."

He reached out and pushed Li Chi's shoulder: "Why don't you leave?"

Li Chi turned around and glared at him, and this glance made Ding Shengjia angry.

Because the meaning of Li Chi's glance was also very obvious... You are a bad person.

After Ding Shengjia took Li Chi and his men to the city, Ding Shengjia sighed beside Li Chi: "You are really stupid. You really don't see the general's intention?"

Li Chi said, "If I don't see it, he will be so angry that he will let you catch me? You are all bad people and just want to steal my goods. Just keep the goods, but let my people go. If you don't know how to explain, leave me alone and let my people go."

Ding Shengjia sighed: "It turns out to be a fool..."

He looked at Li Chi and said, "The general is just trying to make things difficult for you. Otherwise, how can you explain to the Cao family?"

He explained: "The general makes things difficult for you. When the Cao family sees it, they will not make things difficult for you anymore. The general gives them face. If they make things difficult for you again in the future, they will not give face to the general."

Li Chi narrowed his eyes.

Ding Shengjia could tell that his eyes still meant the same... He didn't believe it.

He pushed Li Chi and said, "Do you believe it or not, leave quickly."

Li Chi smiled in his heart, thinking that if I don’t say that, your general’s trick to make things difficult for me would not be so smooth.
