When Tian Qi heard the news, he was very happy and said to Shu Niu:
"That's great! I have already 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 Pei Yi is now owned by my Tian family. Even if they want to intervene, I'm afraid they can't arrange it. I am determined to win Pei Yi. As long as it is in the hands of the Qi State, it will be like entering the hands of my Tian family. Like a hand!"
Seeing Tian Qi's confident look, Shu Niu didn't say anything more. After all, Tian Qi, as a new member of the Qi State, had already become a powerful family that could rival the Gao Er clan with the favor and support of Qi Hou Chujiu.
And Qi Hou Chujiu was still extremely dependent on Tian Qi. Therefore, when the time comes, he will indeed be qualified to say this to Qi Hou.
Early the next morning, Tian Qi and other ministers discussed the matter of taking over Liyi 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, without any mistakes."
Tian Qi heard this and said happily:
"Promise, I obey!"
Guo Xia frowned, sensing that something seemed amiss, and couldn't help but say:
"Your Majesty, this matter still requires... Your Majesty to send people to garrison..."
Obviously, Guo Xia was 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 harm?"
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 any further opposition will not help, 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 were allowed to go back first?
Si Chi said:
"Lord Yousi is joking. The prisoner and I are sincerely in love with each other, so how can we be lying? Chiya just wants to entertain you."
Youji 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 irrelevant. As long as everything goes well, that's the best!"
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. Yusi 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 Cheng.
Suddenly, another burst of noise was heard outside!
When they took another closer look, they saw 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 groom driving the carriage to hit hard with his spurs. The horse was suddenly frightened, and after a long neigh, it actually 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, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he limped away.
It turns out that all of this was actually a trick set up by Li Ran to arouse the enemy!
Li Ran had already expected that Qi State would definitely send someone to inspect Li Yi. So he asked Shusun to ambush a group of people on this necessary road.
The purpose is to alert the enemy so that Si Chi can take advantage of the opportunity to escape.
At the same time, it can prevent Qi State's Yousi from entering Li in advance.
"What a good Li Ziming, he almost tricked me. Fortunately, he is so good at knowing things, otherwise it would be really difficult to handle."
Si Chi thought so while returning 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 welcomed him.
The two came to the meeting hall, and the prisoners retreated to the left and right, 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 Fu were left in the hall, Si Chi talked to Hou Fu about his trip to Qi State, and also mentioned that when he came back, he suddenly encountered pursuers, and he came with him to inspect Qi Guo Yousi, I had no choice but to get separated from him directly.
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 he had also persuaded Qi State to send people here.
Therefore, he hurriedly said to Si Chi:
"No matter what, Brother Chi's trip has been hard after all!"
Si Chi let out a long sigh, cupped his hands and said:
"Chi failed to do his part, and I feel guilty to my guilty brother! However, it does not matter to the overall situation. Since Qi State came well 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 goodbye 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. After that, he just pretended as if nothing had happened, just enjoying family happiness with his wife and children...
Another three days passed like this, late at night
When Si Chi was sleeping, 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 surprised and almost screamed out.
I heard the man boo:
"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 came 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:
"I wonder what Mr. Gongzheng's orders are?"
