Qi Ye followed his father's instructions to meet the messenger sent by Li Dingguo and informed him of his father's illness.

However, he still kept the messenger and arranged for him to live in the mansion.

Although Qi Ye said that he could tell him first if he had anything to do, the messenger insisted that he had to meet Master Qicheng himself before he could convey Li Dingguo's instructions.

Qi Ye had no choice but to leave and turned to meet Qicheng.

"My father, I have already settled the messenger. But he refused to explain his specific purpose to his son, nor did he give the letter to his son."

Qi Ye broke the matter and looked at his father with great grievance to apologize to him.

"It's not your fault."

Qi Cheng seemed to have expected it and waved his hand lightly, "All this is in the calculations of the father."

After a moment of pause, he continued: "Hasn't he already lived in the mansion? This proves that he will definitely deliver the letter to his father. Only in this way can he complete the task."

"My father is wise."

Qi Ye gave him a flattery.

"You are responsible for helping your father stare at this person. If he makes any special moves, report it immediately."

"Son obeys the order."

Qi Ye clasped his fists with his hands.

"Okay, go down."

Qi Cheng waved his hand, and Qi Ye stepped back respectfully.

In fact, Qicheng can basically guess the intention of Li Dingguo sending messengers, but he hopes to do something with the help of his identity as a grain merchant.

What can he do? It's nothing more than raising food and grass.

It must be that Wen Anzhi's army had some problems with food and grass, which allowed Li Dingguo to contact Qicheng through his personal relationship.

Qi Cheng wants to sell himself at a good price, so he must suppress the rhythm. It is best to wait until the messenger is impatient before taking action.

He still has this patience and scheming.

......

......

On the third day after arriving at Qi Mansion, Li Qian, the confidant of Li Dingguo, was summoned by Qi Cheng.

At this moment, he was already full of anger.

Before Zhang Xianzhong died, Li Dingguo was one of his most beloved adopted sons, and the Prince of Daxi who held heavy troops.

Even after Zhang Xianzhong's death, Li Dingguo surrendered to the Ming court, Wen Anzhi still valued Li Dingguo very much.

But this Qicheng was originally very respectful to Li Dingguo, and was even more obedient than a dog. Now, it's better, but he has taken up his airs.

Did he think Li Dingguo had lost power and wanted to draw a clear line with him?

But if he wants to draw a clear line with Li Dingguo and find a reason to drive him away, why should he summon him again?

The more Li Qian thought about it, the less he understood, and even felt a little upset.

However, he decided to go to see Qicheng and see what this despicable villain sold in the gourd.

After he settled down, he left the house and followed the servants of Qi's mansion to the house in Qicheng.

Through the courtyard, Li Qian was finally taken to Qicheng's residence.

He took a deep breath to calm down, then walked into the room with a robe and a bright head.

There was obviously a fragrance in the house, and there was a charcoal basin burning.

The crackling sound accompanied by the incense makes people feel very comfortable.

He hesitated for a moment and walked towards the inner room.

As soon as I entered the inner room, a strong smell of medicine came to my nose.

Li Qian felt it was choking and wanted to pinch his nose, but he felt that this behavior was rude, so he still held it back.

He walked into the inner room and saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed.

This man was covered with a thick quilt but was still shaking, obviously he was very sick.

"This is Mr. Qi, it's a messenger sent by General Li. I'll give you a letter."

Qi Cheng coughed a few times before saying, "It turns out that he is General Li's confidant, please sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Mr. Qi."

The so-called "too-smile" person to stretch out his hands. Although Li Qian is very dissatisfied with Qi Cheng, since Qi Cheng is showing such a good attitude now, he should not be too aggressive.

He lifted up his robe and sat on the chair, and then said in a harmonious voice: "My general told me to hand over the letter to Master Qi's hands, and no one else can do it. So please forgive me for offending the son before."

Li Qian swept all the previous unhappiness in a few words, which gave Qi Cheng enough face.

Seeing this, Qi Cheng couldn't control his figure too much, so he coughed and said, "General Li's love for the young man is really incorruptible."

"This is a handwritten letter written by General Li."

Li Qian took out the sealed letter, then got up and walked to the bed, and put the letter in front of Qicheng with both hands.

Qi Cheng quickly took the letter and said, "I'm working hard."

He pulled out the letter paper and opened it to see it. At first he looked as normal, but the more he looked, the more he became more surprised.

Li Dingguo actually wanted him to secretly contact the Tartars and sell food to Hanzhong.

Of course, Li Dingguo specifically pointed out that this was a plan by Governor Wen'an, and Governor Wen knew the whole story.

It means that Qicheng is doing things for the court.

Qicheng was in a mess in an instant.

How could this be? How could this be?

This is completely different from what he thought.

Originally, he thought that Li Dingguo was looking for him to raise food and grass for the Ming army, but who would have thought that he was to raise food and grass for the Tartars?

Why did Wen Anzhi do this as the governor of Sichuan? Could it be that he wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty?

Qi Cheng just felt his heart pounding.

"Mr. Qi?"

Seeing Qi Cheng's face tense, Li Qian asked in confusion.

"oh..."

Qi Cheng responded and then said, "Is this letter written by General Li?"

"certainly."

Li Qian said confidently: "My general said that Mr. Qi understood everything after reading this letter."

"General Li asked you to repost anything?"

Qi Cheng asked unwillingly.

"There is really no such thing. My general only asked me to ask Mr. Qi about his wishes. Mr. Qi asked him to give him a clear message regardless of whether he wanted it or not, so that I could go back and report to Governor Wen. "

Li Qian said calmly.

“This is natural…”

Of course, Qi Cheng would not make a decision so hasty.

He will not make any substantial promise until he figures out what Li Dingguo's purpose is.

Because this matter is of great importance, it is not just some money, but the prospect of managing the family.

"Please let someone think about this matter again."

"Mr. Qi..."

When Li Qian heard that Qi Cheng had to think about it again, he was a little irresistible.

"Don't you have to worry about this matter so much, right? I have been away from Chengdu for several days and have been delayed by you for another three days. If I continue to waste this, I'm afraid my general will blame you."

Li Qian thought Qicheng wanted to delay, so he made the words clear.

"I misunderstood."

Qi Cheng explained: "I am not the only one who has the final say in the matter of Qi family. I have to ask the opinions of other elders in the clan before making a decision. But don't worry, I will definitely give you a correct word."
