Just when the discussion in the room was getting heated, there was a sudden commotion in Mang's house. Mang Mao asked his son who was guarding the outer room to go see what happened. Mang Chen went out for a while and reported back that Chen Liu's grain had arrived and was being unloaded into the warehouse. Mang Mao was both doubtful and happy in his heart, but without showing it on his face, he said calmly: "Yin'er can still do something after all." He continued to discuss military and state affairs with Wei Qi.
When Wei Qijian talked about Mang Yin, he said, "Mang's eldest son is really talented. He was able to transport grain into a dangerous city in the midst of war. He is truly to be feared!"
Mang Mao asked Mang Chen, "Brother Ru, have you ever escorted a car into the city?"
Mang Chen said: "When my uncle left the city, he wore a festival talisman. The Prime Minister knew that he could not follow the car into the city."
Mang Mao's face showed a sudden realization and said: "Yes, yesterday when I was taking a bath, I seemed to hear Yin'er's invitation to ask for a festival talisman. I just kept my mind on fasting and didn't pay much attention to it. I dare you to help me!"
Wei Qi was unhappy in his heart, but he smiled and said: "Yesterday, the eldest son went to my house and said that the general ordered him to go out of the city to lead the people's army. He wanted to use Daliang Wei to drive out of the city first. Qi Sizhi, the general paid homage today, and the eldest son yesterday Although it is against the law to go out of the city, it is excusable, so I did not invite the general, so I will pay the stipulations. If the general does not mention it today, Qi will also report it."
Mang Mao said: "The purpose of the eldest son's departure from the city was to collect food and take charge of the civilian army outside the city. It was just for internal discussion. Without the permission of the prime minister, I dared to take charge of it. But Daliang Lieutenant was about to leave the city. The time limit was urgent, and I had to take a bath. During the fast, you are not allowed to go to the mansion to ask for advice, so you ordered Yin'er to go into the mansion and report to the Prime Minister. But unexpectedly, the talisman of the civilian army outside the city was on the Prime Minister's mansion, killing two birds with one stone."
Wei Qi said: "The civilian army is under the control of Daliang Wei. Daliang Wei went out to battle and the general was fasting, so the king ordered the festival talisman to be temporarily sent to his residence. The eldest son took the militia from the three townships outside the city, and the rest of the festival talismans were ordered to be fetched by the family. , will be there in a short time.”
Mang Mao said: "The Prime Minister is in charge of the army. If I can't get it sincerely, there is no need to get it."
Wei Qi said: "That's unreasonable. Liang Wei can't take care of things outside, and the general has to fast, so Qi has no choice but to take charge of it for a day. In fact, the military talisman should still be in the hands of the king, but the king is so unreasonable... In other words, there are no weak soldiers under the general's sect. Ah. In such a chaotic situation, the food can be transported into the city smoothly, extraordinary, extraordinary. I dare to ask Chen Liu who is the old head of the family, Qi Po wants to get close to him. "
Mang Mao rebuffed him and said: "A gentleman does not win anyone's love. Dr. Chen Liu is someone's right hand. The Prime Minister must not be tempted!"
Wei Qi said with a smile: "How could you mean this? There are many smart and capable men under the general's sect. Messrs. Che and Hu are very good people, and Dr. Chen Liu... is really enviable. The person escorting the car is Chen. Stay with the doctor?"
Mang Mao was at a loss for words. Seeing that he couldn't get through the traffic jam, he had to call Mang Chen and asked, "Chen Liu is transporting grain. Who is escorting the truck?"
Mang Chen said: "I have never seen it before. The name of the book on the festival is Chenliu Si Shi Cai Ze."
Mang Mao asked: "Where is this person?"
Mang Chen said: "I've unloaded the grain, collected it, and already left."
Mang Mao was also a little surprised and said: "Leaved? No meal left?"
Mang Chen said: "Shi Shi said that the situation was unpredictable, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to leave the city later, so he left without stopping for a while."
Mang Mao said: "Such loyalty deserves a heavy reward."
Mang Chen said: "I have given you an extra hundred yuan, and I have received many compliments."
Mang Mao said: "That's very good. Does the Prime Minister have any instructions?"
Wei Qi said: "It's enviable, it's enviable! A small official can be so talented. There is no such person in my house. Dr. Chen Liu dare not even think about it, just like the general who sent that official to the prime minister." It’s a gift, I’m so grateful!”
Mang Mao asked Mang Chen, "Why don't I know when this official entered the government?"
Mang Chen said: "My words don't mean what I mean. Cai Si is not a Mang family scholar, but Chen Liu is a doctor."
After hearing this, Wei Qi put his hand on his forehead and said, "I envy people, I envy people. The old man in my family is also such a talented person. He Mang is so lucky!"
Mang Mao also said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a person in Chenliu. After the war is over, we should get closer and closer."
Wei Qi said: "Why wait until the war is over? I think he is not far away, so the general can recover him immediately. Such talents can be used in troubled times."
Mang Mao said: "There may be something wrong with this matter. Although Dr. Chen Liu is a retainer in the house, Cai Sishi is a retainer of Dr. Chen Liu, so he should serve as the master of Dr. Chen Liu. How can I add this to this?"
Wei Qi said: "No, no. I really want to treat him as a scholar of the country, but I dare not treat him as a retainer. May the general succeed."
Mang Mao said: "Don't go too far! Since Cai Sishi has pledged to serve Chen Liu, he should serve Chen Liu as the main one, and there is no need to be called by the king. Since the prime minister is willing to call, I should recommend him to Chen Liu, and the prime minister will call himself. Of."
Wei Qi hurriedly said: "The general made a mistake again. The general did not know. During the siege, Qi was most worried about transporting millet. Cai Si's ability to transport grain inside and outside the siege was a blessing to the country. General, he is the country's greatest blessing If you call her, you won’t dare to take away your love!”
Mang Mao said: "Since Xiangguo loves each other so much, Chen'er can order someone to recover her."
Mangchen agreed, turned around and left. Shao Shi returned: "Chen Liu's convoy has disappeared and cannot be traced."
Wei Qi said: "You can act so quickly and urgently, you are really talented."
Mang Mao said: "I will write a secret letter to Chenliu, and then summon Cai Sishi into the city. I only say that the Prime Minister is recruiting."
Wei Qi said: "It's impossible. Who in Qi dares to take away someone's love? Qi only knows that there is such a person in Mang Mansion. He will come to discuss with the general about the transfer in the city in the future. I hope the general will not say goodbye."
Mang Mao said: "It's very deserted to transfer one way..." Before he could finish, Wei Qi stopped him and said, "I just consult Cai Sishi, it will be done properly. Si Shi doesn't have to enter the city, he is more comfortable outside the city."
Mang Mao said: "In this case, I should obey the order."
Wei Qi said: "The General's Mansion has food, which is a big deal in my heart. How dare I not know how much has been shipped?"
Mang Chen said: "Not much, just one cart, and there are fruits, vegetables and sundries."
Wei Qi said: "The Qin army will not be able to hold out for long. The siege can be overcome."
Mang Chen said: "For the blessing of protecting the Prime Minister's country, Mang is extremely grateful."
Wei Qi said: "What merits and virtues does Qi have!"
Mang Mao interrupted: "Chen'er, if you have nothing to do, please leave. I have state affairs to discuss with the Prime Minister."
Mangchen bowed and left. Wei Qi kept chanting "Cai Si Shi" and "Cai Si Shi" in his mouth. Mang Mao didn't say anything anymore, and just stared at him quietly from the side, until he seemed to wake up from his own state, and even called him "gaffe".
Mang Mao didn't do anything like the others. He just continued the previous topic and said: "This kind of purchase is entrusted to the Prime Minister."
Wei Qi seemed to have come to his senses and said: "Qi, please ask the general to order someone to assist you. Only Cai Si will do."
Seeing that Cai Ze was involved again, Mang Mao could only say, "I will send a letter to Chen Liu."
Wei Qi said: "The procurement matters in the palace are actually paid to Doctor Xu Jia. Qi is not from the Jia family, so it is difficult to fully understand the mystery."
Mang Mao said: "I need a doctor, Jia, and a minister of the king. I'm afraid it will be difficult to use him. The prime minister has the responsibility of a country. Although procurement is a small matter, it is actually relied on for military affairs. I hope the prime minister will submit."
Wei Qi said: "With the help of Cai Si Shixiang, everything will be done!"
Mang Mao said: "I am deeply envious of Cai Si, who has such high hopes from the Prime Minister!"
