"Alas... Xiao Chen, are you saying this for me?" Sure enough, the smart Li Qiu understood Xiao Chen's meaning immediately, "Lin Qi has no identity. It is inappropriate for him to go. I can only do it myself." I don’t know if I can impress Duan Fengnian if I go for a walk.”
"Your Majesty is so courageous, he is truly worthy of being the son of an emperor!" Xiao Chen said, "But this time, Your Majesty, you really can't go. Duan Fengnian is not Murong Heng, nor is he Sima Zhongping. Although those two were rivals of our Zhou Dynasty back then, , but they are all heroes, ambitious and knowledgeable, but they are not comparable to Duan Fengnian."
But it turned out that Xiao Chen didn't mean that at all. He just wanted Lin Qi to go.
"So if the prince goes, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back. Duan Fengnian hates me to the core, so I don't dare to go. Everyone here is inappropriate. Only Lin Qi and Duan Fengnian have an old relationship, and they have no identity. It is less risky for him to go, and it can also express our feelings." Xiao Chen said.
"Students are willing to go, regardless of life or death!" Lin Qi said loudly, "Even if he dies in Duan Fengnian's hands, there will never be any complaints! Be loyal to the country and you will be honored even if you die! This is the student's long-cherished wish in his life."
"You kid, don't die, die. I asked you to persuade Duan Fengnian to surrender. Who told you to die?" Xiao Chen said, "What's the use of saying such nonsense? Are we all greedy for life and afraid of death? Are you brave enough to show off?"
"Student, I, I, I, student, that's not what I meant!" Lin Qi was scolded by Xiao Chen and his face turned red.
"Then who did you show yourself to be brave and righteous? Did you show the same behavior when you met Duan Fengnian later? If I were Duan Fengnian, I would kill you without even waiting for you to speak!" Xiao Chen said.
"Student, I...all obey the commander's instructions." Lin Qi said hurriedly.
"My instructions are to ask you to persuade Duan Fengnian to surrender. If you can't convince him, don't come back!" Xiao Chen said.
"Yes, students obey!" Lin Qi had no nonsense this time.
"But you can't go empty-handed. Go back and prepare a gift of ten cars. If you take it with you, just say it's something that the prince and I mean." Xiao Chen slowed down and breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone said to themselves, Mr. Xiao Hou, what are you going to do? Not only do you give Duan Fengnian a gift, but you also give gifts?
It feels like I just took off my pants and farted, which is unnecessary. I heard that you have a good relationship with Lin Dongyang. Why do you want to trap his son?
"Where is Qiyun?" Xiao Chen is trying to trick another person again.
"My subordinate is here!" Duan Qiyun quickly stood up and saluted.
"This is a meeting, no need to be formal, just sit down and talk." Xiao Chen said, "Based on your understanding of Duan Qiyun and Duan Fengnian, will he surrender in this situation?"
"Returning to the commander-in-chief, Duan Fengnian's heart is dangerous when he is rebellious, he is firm in his actions, he is eloquent when he speaks falsely, he is rich when he remembers the ugly, and he is good when he is obedient! He is rampant in good times and vicious in adversity. This is true for others and himself, so his subordinates I think the chance of him surrendering is very small." Duan Qiyun said.
"What if you do it knowing you can't do it, or do something else?" Xiao Chen asked.
"He is a ruthless and unrighteous person. He treats himself, his subordinates, the people, and even his relatives like this. But he only loves his youngest son Duan Yu very much. Duan Yu is also in the city now. If this son's life or death is In other words, is it possible to be a commoner?" Duan Qiyun said.
"Well, Qiyun, you spend time with Duan Fengnian day and night. Are you very familiar with his words and deeds?" Xiao Chen asked.
"When I return to the Commander-in-Chief, it's very detailed and very familiar." Duan Qiyun said.
"If you were to pretend to be him, would it look like him?" Xiao Chen's question was really unexpected.
"Ah?" Duan Qiyun was startled, "Pretending to be Duan Fengnian? But the appearance of his subordinate is so different from his, how can he pretend to be like him?"
"You just need to be able to imitate his words and deeds." Xiao Chen said.
"There's nothing wrong with imitating his speech. This man has tumors on each side of his cheeks, and his speech is always slurred. Some people say they are dragon's gills, so he has never been treated... as long as he holds a walnut in his mouth. You can imitate him very closely." Duan Qiyun said, "Why do you really want me to pretend to be him, handsome?"
"Who is that? Go find a walnut." Xiao Chen ordered. Everyone was silent and no one moved. Where can I find walnuts at this time?
"It doesn't have to be walnuts, just something similar. I can just look at the Galaha on the sheep bones." Lin Qi said.
There are plenty of those things! I quickly found a lot of them, but they were all chewed up and thrown into the snow, and they were covered with mud...
When the matter was urgent, he just rinsed it with tea and let Duan Qiyun hold it in his mouth.
"This king is not revolting, but for the common people of the world..." Duan Fengnian held Galaha in his cheeks and imitated Duan Fengnian's tone of voice, spitting as he spoke.
Xiao Chen and Lin Qi have both seen Duan Fengnian. They closed their eyes and listened to you, and it turned out to be lifelike.
"Can you hold back your saliva?" Li Qiu and Duan Qiyun were far apart, and they were both sprayed by his saliva.
"Don't be patient, that's how he talks, so we don't dare to get too close, which is okay. What I'm most afraid of is eating with him, and he'll say a few words every time. That spitting star can eat all the dishes on the table. The spray made us afraid to take a bite, and he blamed us for being cautious..." Duan Qiyun said with a smile.
"But this Galaha still doesn't work. His teeth jingled when he clasped his teeth, so he turned around and made two rubber balls to hold them in his mouth." Xiao Chen said.
So, Mr. Xiaohou, what are you going to do?
Xiao Chen was planning to use a trick to replace Tao Zang with Li.
To put it simply, Lin Qi was asked to bring a batch of gifts into the city to meet Duan Fengnian. The reason why he brought the gifts was to show that his side had sufficient supplies and smooth logistics, so he would definitely not retreat for a while.
You can also express your sincerity in persuading surrender. Of course, the most important role is to protect Lin Qi's safety. As the saying goes, don't hit the gift giver. If someone brings so many gifts to you, you would be embarrassed to kill them, right?
The reason why Lin Qi was allowed to go was because Lin Dongyang and Duan Fengnian still had some friendship. Duan Fengnian was not a thing, so he was embarrassed to kill the son of his old friend, right?
Besides, Lin Dongyang is still in prison. In a sense, Lin Qi's situation is relatively close to his, so whatever he says is casual and relatively credible.
Also, Lin Qi is similar in age to Duan Fengnian's youngest son. When he sees Lin Qi, he will inevitably think of his son, or he may be shaken.
Of course, Lin Qi's purpose was not to persuade Duan Fengnian to surrender, but to pave the way for subsequent plans.
As long as Duan Fengnian doesn't kill Lin Qi, there will be some room left, which will make the Langya soldiers mistakenly think that Duan Fengnian may have a little bit of intention to surrender...
Next is the key to the plan. Xiao Chen and the others are going to sneak into Duan Fengnian's bedroom through a secret passage at night, capture or kill him, and then have Duan Qiyun dress up as Duan Fengnian and order to accept Li Qiu's surrender...
