Gao Qiang survived a narrow escape and took the risk to return to Qi.
The top-secret information he consciously possesses is extremely important to Tian Qi. This can be used as a petition to allow him to return to Qi's political arena.
When he returned to Linzi, he saw that Tian Qi's face was ashen, and he was brooding over the fact that Shu Niu had failed to murder the prince.
"The villain Gao Qiang has met Doctor Tian! The reason why Gao Qiang returned to Qi today is because he has a very important matter to talk to you about."
When Tian Qi heard this, he laughed sinisterly:
"Hmph! Gao Qiang, you are so brave, you actually dare to go back to Qi alone? Do you know that the emperor has already regarded you as a traitor to Qi, and you should be punished! Why don't you stay well in Jin now?
Instead, are you seeking death?"
Gao Qiang said hurriedly:
"What happened back then is all Gao Qiang's fault. Over the years, Gao Qiang has actually missed his homeland for a moment. So I asked Dr. Tian to ignore the past grudges. Now Gao Qiang just wants to spend his remaining years in Qi and return to his roots. He has no other aspirations.
"
"Moreover, Qiang's return this time has brought you a key piece of information! I also ask Doctor Tian to spare Gao Qiang for the sake of Gao Qiang's meritorious service!"
Tian Qi couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that the leader of the Gao family, one of the three states of Qi in the past, was now groveling in front of him and begging for mercy.
Faced with Gao Qiang's so-called intelligence, Tian Qiye suddenly became curious and asked:
"Oh? What information is it? Tell me about it?"
Gao Qiang immediately told Tian Qi that "Shu Niu was Li Ran's accomplice" and finally added:
"Then Li Ran didn't know that Gao Qiang would actually return to Qi, let alone what I would say to Master Tian! Qiang thought that this matter was extremely credible, so he asked Doctor Tian to resolve it quickly!"
When Tian Qi heard this, he couldn't help but become suspicious.
As a secret agent, Shu Niu has been liaising with officials and dignitaries from various countries for many years. How could Tian Qi ever doubt Shu Niu?
However, what Gao Qiang said is somewhat credible.
Tian Qi was silent for a long time, and finally said:
"Gao Qiang, you think this news is credible, but I don't think so! I think Li Ran is so scheming, who knows if this is a stratagem he used to alienate people?! Besides...I heard this from you, I don't think so!
How can you trust me so easily?"
Tian Qi sent an order to escort Gao Qiang down. At this time, Gao Qiang exclaimed:
"Master Tian! If you risk your own life and come back, you won't deceive me. Please be careful, sir!"
Tian Qi didn't pay attention to it, because Tian Qi also knew very well that no matter whether this matter was true or false, Gao Qiang could never keep him.
If it is true, if Gao Qiang leaks the news, it will definitely stimulate the bulls.
And if it is fake, then there is no need to keep Gao Qiang.
Therefore, Tian Qi just ordered him to be imprisoned again...
After Tian Qi locked up Gao Qiang, he thought a lot. He was seen pacing back and forth, thinking about it, and finally decided to call Shu Niu.
When Shu Niu saw Tian Beggar, he saluted and said:
"Zhu Niu has met the master of the house!"
Tian Qi was silent for a while again. Just when Shu Niu felt strange, Tian Qi said:
"Shu Niu, you were once the eldest son of the Ji family, right?"
Shu Niu felt a little strange and replied:
"Exactly! But now I have nothing to do with the Ji clan!"
Tian Qi said again:
"Oh? Do you really have no feelings for Ji?"
Shuniu sighed and said:
"Shu Niu is a concubine. My family's honor, money, and power have nothing to do with me. It's too late for Shu Niu to hate them, so how can we have any friendship? Mr. Tian is joking."
Tian Qi was silent again for a while, then asked Zhu Niu:
"The head of the family... why did you suddenly mention this?"
Tian Qi said:
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just asking casually. By the way, I decided to send you to do something!"
Hearing this, Zhu Niu knelt down and said:
"The head of the family just gives orders, no one dares to disobey!"
Tian Qi said:
"Now Li Ran is in the Kingdom of Jin, and he has assisted Zhao Yang in doing many things. This person is very harmful to me and to the people in the dark! Now, the war is coming, you go and find a way to kill Li Ran
.If Li Ran doesn’t die, you shouldn’t come back to see me!”
As soon as he said this, Shu Niu looked at Tian Qi in shock.
"What does the Patriarch mean by this? The war is about to begin. There are many places where the Patriarch needs to raise the cow. How can we send the Lord away? What's more, the Lord is staying in Qi. He has important matters and cannot leave easily..."
Tian Qi said in a deep voice:
"Stand up the cow! Are you disobeying me?"
Zhu Niu paused again:
"You don't dare to stand up!"
Tian Qi said sternly:
"If you don't dare, then just do it! Li Ran should have been eliminated earlier, so where did all this nonsense come from?"
Shu Niu heard that there seemed to be some anger in Tian Qi's words, but he just thought it was because he was not doing things well and had not succeeded in assassinating the prince, so Tian Qi was displeased.
So, he had no choice but to reply:
"No!... The cow will be raised to obey orders! But I don't know when the master of the house wants to raise the cow to leave?"
Tian Qi said coldly:
"You should set off immediately! Don't delay, just pack up and leave!"
When Zhu Niu saw Tian Qi, it was as if he was trying to drive him away. Although he was puzzled by this, he did not dare to say any more. He only stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"No! In that case, please take care of yourself, my lord, the cow is leaving now!"
Shu Niu walked a few steps and arrived at the door. He turned around, obviously hoping that Tian Qi could take back his life. But Tian Qi had obviously made up his mind at this moment. Although he didn't believe in Gao Qiang, he still felt that Shu Niu would be left behind.
There will be knots in my heart around me.
Simply let Shu Niu deal with Li Ran specifically.
Li Ran was going to be killed anyway, so it would be best to let Shu Niu do the job. Not only would he get rid of the hidden dangers around him, but he could also let Shu Niu prove his innocence.
While Shu Niu was picking up the things, his heart was in a state of confusion and he thought to himself:
"Does this mean Tian Qi doesn't trust me? How could something like this happen? Li Ran is now in the Jin Kingdom and is well protected. Even if I can mobilize the secret agents to assassinate Li Ran for me, but now
All Jin’s strongholds have been cleared... This matter is really difficult to handle!"
"Huh? I heard that my unlucky sister now has a daughter who is getting married... It might as well..."
When Shu Niu thought of this, he started to worry about it again.
…
After Tian Qi "drove" Shu Niu away, he directly and secretly dealt with Gao Qiang.
Before Gao Qiang died, he also cried and laughed, regretting that he had not listened to Li Ran's words and actually returned to Qi State like a ghost. In the end, he even lost the chance to survive.
Later, Tian Qi reported to the Marquis of Qi in the Ming Dynasty, vowing to personally lead the army and compete with Zhao Yang for the Qi Kingdom!
The Marquis of Qi also eagerly hoped to see the restoration of Qi's hegemony with his own eyes during his pregnancy, so even though Prince Tu repeatedly advised him, it was still to no avail.
Therefore, Qi State Tianqi boldly raised an army of two hundred thousand troops, appointed General Xian Shi as his Sima, and marched towards Handan in a mighty manner.
At the same time, Wei Guo and Zheng Guo once again responded to Tian Qi's call and raised troops to contain the Zhao family.
Zhao Yang now has to face the siege of Qi, Wei and Zheng again, which is quite a headache.
Moreover, Tian Qi obviously regards this battle as the decisive battle in which he will dominate the world as a minister!
