When Tian Qi heard the news, he was very happy and said to Shu Niu:
"That's great! I have made arrangements for Yousi who was sent to Liyi this time. Early tomorrow morning, I will ask Sichi and Yousi to go to Liyi together. After the survey, I can conquer Liyi in one fell swoop.
Pocket it!”
Shu Niu further said:
"This matter needs to be done before the Gao family and the Guo family can react. If they are aware of your master's plan, I'm afraid they will interfere with it!"
Tian Qi didn’t care about this:
"The location of Pi Yi is now owned by our Tian family. Even if they want to intervene, I'm afraid they can't arrange it. I am determined to get Pi Yi. As long as it is in the hands of Qi State, it will be like joining my Tian family.
As good as a hand!"
Seeing Tian Qi's confident look, Shu Niu didn't say anything more. After all, Tian Qi, as a new nobleman of Qi State, with the favor and support of Qi Hou Chujiu, had already become a powerful family that could rival the Gao Er clan in the country.
.
And Qi Hou Chujiu is still extremely dependent on Tian Qi. Therefore, he will indeed be qualified to say this to Qi Hou when the time comes.
Early the next morning, Tian Qi and other ministers discussed the matter of taking over Li Yi again in the court hall. Si Chi was also summoned together.
Just listen to Qi Hou Chujiu say:
"Si Chi, today you and Yousi will go to Liyi together. After arriving at Liyi, you will report back quickly after yousi has inspected the situation."
"Tian Qi, when there is news from Yousi, you will immediately send troops to take over. There must be no mistakes."
Tian Qi heard this and said happily:
"Promise, I obey!"
Guo Xia frowned, sensing something was wrong, and couldn't help but say:
"Your Majesty, this matter still... requires your Majesty to send people to garrison..."
Obviously, Guoxia is afraid of Tian Qi's power.
But Qi Hou Chujiu didn't take it seriously:
"The Tian family's fief Fengqiu is located near Li. If I look for someone else to go there, wouldn't it mean that I can't trust Tian Qing? This fief is just a casual acquisition, so what's the problem?"
Gao Zhang and Guo Xia looked at each other, and they suddenly felt like they were shooting themselves in the foot.
However, given the current situation, they also know that it will be useless for them to object again, so they can only suffer the loss of being dumb!
So, at noon, Si Chi and the appointed Yousi left Linzi with Qi's convoy.
Si Chi knew that the plan was half done, but he remained calm on the surface.
Yousi was entrusted by Tian Qi, so he was naturally very concerned about the matter of collecting Li Yi.
Approaching Li Yi, Si Chi opened his mouth and said:
"Master Yousi, Chi wants to take the first step so that the city of Liyi can be prepared!"
Yusi shook his head and said:
"It doesn't have to be like this. It would be better if you are unprepared. I also want to take a look at what the normal situation in Liyi is like now!"
Si Chi and Yousi looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere was quite awkward.
In fact, what Yusi said is common sense. After all, who knows what you, Si Chi, are selling in this gourd? Wouldn't it be too suspicious if you let you go back first?
Si Chi said:
"Lord Yousi is joking. The criminal Hou and I are sincerely in love with each other, so how can we be lying? Chiya just wants to entertain the Lord well."
Yousi also smiled and said:
"Both your Majesty and Lord Tian take this matter very seriously, and I really don't dare to be scornful. The reception is not important. As long as everything goes well, that's the best!" Qian Qianwannu
Si Chi was quite determined when he heard what he meant, so he had no choice but to say:
"In that case, then just follow what Mr. Yousi said!"
So the two of them continued on their way, and after a few more days, they were about to arrive at the city of Li.
Suddenly, another burst of noise was heard outside!
They took a closer look and saw that there was actually an army running directly towards them. Si Chi and Yousi were both shocked!
Si Chi stood up and held on to the shaft of the cart, looking at it. Seeing this formation, he couldn't help but feel his legs weaken and he fell off the cart.
When Yusi saw this, he was also extremely frightened. He held the edge of the carriage tightly and ordered the driver to give the driver a hard blow with his spurs. The horse was suddenly frightened, and after a long neigh, it dragged the carriage and galloped away.
!
At this time, although Si Chi fell off the carriage, Yousi did not care about him and only focused on escaping for his own life. Si Chi stood up with difficulty, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and left limping.
It turns out that all of this was actually a trick set up by Li Ran to avert the enemy!
Li Ran had already expected that the Qi State would definitely send people to inspect Li Yi. Therefore, he asked his uncle Sun to ambush a group of people on this inevitable road.
The purpose is to alert the enemy so that Si Chi can take advantage of the situation and escape.
At the same time, it can also prevent Qi's officials from entering the city of Li in advance.
"What a good Li Ziming, he almost tricked me. Fortunately, he knows things well, otherwise it would be really difficult."
Si Chi was thinking this as he returned to Yiyi alone. Since he had walked several miles on one leg, the injury on his leg seemed to have worsened.
When the prisoner heard that Si Chi had returned from Qi, he personally greeted him.
The two came to the meeting hall, and the prisoners retreated, including Shusun Yue.
Of course, Shu Sunnoi already knew the purpose of Si Chi's trip at this time - to find a way out for the prisoners.
When Si Chi entered the meeting hall, he happened to be face to face with his uncle and grandson.
But seeing him glaring fiercely at him, Si Chi couldn't help but be stunned.
When only Si Chi and Hou Feng were left in the hall, Si Chi talked to Hou Feng about his trip to Qi State, and also mentioned that when he came back, he suddenly encountered pursuers. Qi Guo Yousi, who came with him to inspect Li Yi,
I had no choice but to get separated from him.
When the prisoner heard this, he said with regret:
"Oh...this is terrible! What should I do?"
However, he then thought about it again and realized that Si Chi had taken a big risk to conquer Yiyi, and at least he had persuaded Qi State to send people here.
Therefore, he hurriedly said to Si Chi:
"No matter what, Brother Chi's trip has been a hard one after all!"
Si Chi let out a long sigh, cupped his hands and said:
"Chi failed to do his best, and I feel guilty for committing the crime! However, it doesn't matter for the overall situation. Since Qi has come prepared, even if this Yousi is missing, there will definitely be others coming by then.
, I just need to wait for a while, brother."
Upon hearing this, the criminal Hou breathed a sigh of relief:
"Okay, that's great! Brother Chi has had a hard time on this journey. Let's go back and say hello to our family first!"
So, after Si Chi resigned, he left the meeting hall under the escort of his servants and came to the shelter specially prepared for him and his family by the prisoner.
The whole family was overjoyed to see him returned.
At this time, Si Chi opened Li Ran's third tip bag...
After Si Chi looked at it, he couldn't help but nodded. Then, he pretended as if nothing had happened, just enjoying the family happiness with his wife and children...
Another three days passed like this, late at night
When Si Chi was sleeping soundly, someone sneaked into his bedroom.
A gentle push on his shoulder made Si Chi suddenly wake up. Seeing that this man had his face covered, he couldn't help being startled and almost screamed out.
I heard the man booing:
"Sir, don't panic, Mr. Ziming asked me to come!"
Si Chi breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the couch, and left the bedroom with the man and went to the woodshed.
The man took off his mask and revealed his true face:
"I'm here! I've met Mr. Gongzheng!"
Si Chi suddenly remembered that Li Ran had mentioned this name to him at that time.
My heart suddenly calmed down.
"Oh it's you!"
He Luo is very skilled in martial arts, so it is not difficult to meet Si Chi secretly.
When the two came to the woodshed, they heard Li Luo whisper to him:
