In fact, Li Nao and Si Chi are both members of the Daoji.
It was through observing that Li Ran learned about their existence.
As for Li Nao, Guan Zong had basically completed everything he had told him beforehand.
Now, another instruction conveyed by "Dao Ji" to Li Na is - unite with Si Chi and capture Li Yi!
Therefore, Li Nao also came here specially to meet Si Chi.
Si Chi sighed for a moment, then understood Li Ran's intention and said:
"According to Mr. Ziming's wishes, I want you to spread the news on your behalf, that is, the prisoners have agreed to exchange Li Yi with Qi State, and Qi State is also preparing to move all the people of Li Yi into Qi State! Instead, it will be managed by the Tian family."
Li Nao didn't say much, just nodded slightly and asked:
"That's all?"
Si Chi said:
"Well, that's enough. The people of Liyi have been living here for generations. If you want to move them elsewhere, they will never agree!"
"At that time, I will be able to arouse the people of the country to oppose the criminals. At that time, it will be my time to do something. As for how to do it, you don't have to ask any more!"
Li Luo said:
"So, Nao understands!"
After Li Nao figured out what to do next, he left.
Si Chi went back to rest on his own. When his wife noticed that Si Chi had left and returned, she asked in a daze:
"Chi, what have you done?"
"Degong!"
Si Chi gave a brief reply, then lay down next to her and fell back to sleep...
After Li Nao received the order, he spread the news that the prisoners were about to donate Li Yi to Qi State, and that Qi State was going to move the people of Li Yi into Qi territory.
Soon, the news spread in Liyi.
The people of Liyi were not aware of this at all. They only knew that the prisoners had asked Qi for help.
The State of Qi had attacked Li Yi not long ago, so the people who didn't know the truth were naturally deceived, and the crowd was furious!
There are also many people who are looking for information everywhere. It is difficult to tell the truth from the false for a while, which makes people in Liyi panic.
After the prisoner Hou learned about this rumor, he became worried.
Si Chi waited until the public opinion started to rise and knew that Li Nao had succeeded and Li Ran's plan was completed. He couldn't help but thought:
"Mr. Ziming is indeed well-deserved. No wonder he has such a reputation. This series of schemes is interconnected and has no flaws!"
Si Chi's admiration for Li Ran could be described as high admiration.
He also knew that now, it was his turn to perform this last thing.
He tidied up a bit and came specifically to find the prisoner.
As soon as the prisoner Hou saw Si Chi, he complained to him:
"Damn it!... It's really despicable! I don't know where the news leaked out, but now I'm in a dilemma!"
Si Chi wanted to kneel down on the ground, but the prisoner Hou saw this and knew that he was unable to move, so he stretched out his hand to support him.
At this time, Si Chi said:
"Brother Chi Gui... If I had known that it would make the people of the country suspicious, I should have quietly entered the city. It must be because people saw that I came back from Qi State, so they were suspicious!"
When the prisoner heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and replied to Si Chi:
"Hey... Brother Chi doesn't have to blame himself! Brother Chi can come to help brother when he is in danger. Brother Wei is grateful. As for this matter... it can be said to be unpredictable, so how can we blame Brother Chi?"
Hou Feng has great trust in Si Chi. After all, they have been colleagues for many years, and Hou Feng certainly knows Si Chi's character. Besides, he still voted with his whole family, so how could he rebel against himself?
Then, Si Chi sighed again:
"It's just...now this news is extremely detrimental to Brother Gu! And since this matter can be spread so seriously, I'm afraid the person spreading the rumor must be someone who knows the truth!"
"Chi thinks we still need to find out the person behind the rumor! Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble!"
When the prisoner heard this, he couldn't help but frown:
"This... I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle! By the way... I wonder who Brother Chi has met during these days?"
Si Chi said categorically:
"Actually... since Chi returned from Qi, he only met his uncle and grandson once that day. Since that day, Chi has only stayed in his own mansion and has never seen anyone... …”
When the prisoner Hou heard this, he couldn't help being surprised. Then, he replied decisively:
"Uncle Sun Zhe... yes! It must be this person! This person has always had wolf ambitions, and has always wanted to replace Uncle Sun Zhouqiu as the head of the family! He failed to follow Yang Hu before, first fled to Feiyi, and later came to seek refuge Treat the public as if you were contemptuous. I don’t trust such repetitive villains at all. Huh! This guy must have a grudge because of this, so he did such a thing!"
Si Chi said deliberately:
"Him?... If the land is lost, it will be of no benefit to him. He doesn't seem to have such a need, right?"
Hearing Si Chi's words, the prisoner Hou became more and more convinced:
"Haha, his purpose... I'm afraid it's not that simple, and it can't be speculated with common sense! Forget it, let's not talk about him. After all, he is also a descendant of the Shusun family, so we can't kill him here. To avoid having to bear the bad reputation of killing clan members again."
"It's better to find a reason then and drive him away. Let him fend for himself!"
Si Chi nodded, and then let out a long sigh, seemingly helpless:
"Hey... Rumors are spreading all over the place right now. I'm afraid I can't suppress them by force. As the saying goes, 'It's better to defend the people's mouth than to defend the river'! The more we suppress this matter, the more counterproductive it will be!"
When the prisoner heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and said:
"Yes...that's what I'm worried about. Alas...but if we leave it alone, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be affected, and we won't be able to fight anymore..."
Si Chi hesitated again and said:
"This matter... now that it's a done deal, I'm afraid it's impossible to avoid it. What's more, I'm afraid the officials from Qi State will come sooner or later. How about... then Brother Gu will really live up to the rumors and go to Qi State to ask Qi The marquis will entrust you with a fief as a place to settle down. As for the city of Li, you can hand over full power to the state of Qi!"
"The location of Liyi is so critical, and it will definitely become a battleground between Qi and Lu in the future. It is indeed of no use to Brother Fu if we just stay here! Brother Fu cannot hold this isolated city for a long time, so it is better to change it with Qi. "
After hearing these words, the prisoner pursed his lips.
"Well... what Brother Chi said is reasonable. Now that we have lost the support of the people, there is no point in holding on here..."
Si Chi said again:
"In these days, Brother Gu must make more preparations. You can prepare some more leather armor in the courtyard of the gate in case of emergency. I'm afraid that if the people in the city don't allow it, there will be another mutiny! If Brother Gu doesn't Make preparations in advance, or you will be controlled by others. The reason why you are here... you must pay attention to it."
While listening, the criminal Hou nodded vigorously and said:
"Well...Brother Chi has thought carefully! If you do this, prepare..."
Therefore, within a few days after the prisoner Hou, he prepared some leather armor and placed them in the courtyard.
However, the weapons he moved in and out, especially when the door of his official residence was opened and closed, were naturally looked at by some interested people.
Therefore, rumors spread all over the city.
It just so happened that at this moment, Yousi of Qi State suddenly turned around and came to Liyi with some soldiers and horses!
It turned out that after the Qi State Yousi was dispersed last time, he returned to the Qi State first. After reporting the situation, the Marquis of Qi sent more men to escort Yousi to Liyi again.
As soon as Qi Guo Yousi entered the city, Li Nao secretly spread rumors:
"A minister from the State of Qi came to Liyi. It is obvious that he wants to count the number of people in Liyi, so that the people of Liyi can be relocated in the future!"
When the Chinese people who didn't know the truth heard it, they became even more anxious.
So, they took to the streets one after another, and more and more people gathered together, where they were all there to protest against the criminals.
In their view, this matter is closely related to each of them, so they must not let Qi Guo and the criminals succeed!
