Qi Ye followed his father's instructions and went to see the messenger sent by Li Dingguo to inform him of his father's illness.
However, he still kept the messenger and arranged for him to live in his mansion.
Although Qi Ye said that he could tell him anything first, the messenger insisted that he must meet Mr.
Qi Cheng in person before relaying Li Dingguo's instructions.
Qi Ye had no choice but to leave and go to see Qi Cheng instead.
"Father, I have arranged for the messenger.
But he refused to explain the specific purpose of his visit to his son, nor did he give the letter to his son."
Qi Ye messed up the matter and watched his father plead guilty to him with great grievance.
"It's not your fault."
Qi Cheng seemed to have expected it.
He waved his hand and said, "This is all part of my father's plan."
After a pause, he continued: "Isn't he already living in the house?
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 me keep an eye on this person.
If he does anything special, report him immediately."
"Son, I obey."
Qi Ye said with his hands clasped in fists.
"Okay, let's get down."
Qi Cheng waved his hand, and Qi Ye respectfully stepped back.
In fact, Qi Cheng could now basically guess Li Dingguo's intention in sending the messenger, which was simply to do something with his identity as a grain merchant.
What he can do is raise food and fodder.
It must be that Wen Anzhi's army had some problems with food and fodder, which prompted Li Dingguo to contact Qicheng through personal relationships.
Qicheng wanted to sell himself at a good price, so he had to keep a tight pace.
It was best to wait until the messenger became impatient before taking action.
He still has the patience and the city.
On the third day after arriving in Qi Mansion, Li Dingguo's confidant Li Qian was summoned by Qi Cheng.
At this moment, he had already suppressed his anger.
When Zhang Xianzhong was still alive, Li Dingguo was one of his most beloved adopted sons, and he was a prince of Daxi with a heavy army.
Even after Zhang Xianzhong died and Li Dingguo returned to the Ming court, Wen Anzhi still regarded Li Dingguo highly.
But Qicheng, who was originally respectful to Li Dingguo, was even more respectful than a dog.
It's better now, I have to put on my airs.
Could it be that he thought Li Dingguo had lost power and wanted to draw a clear line with him?
But if he wanted to draw a clear line with Li Dingguo and just find a reason to drive him away, why would he summon him again?
The more Li Qian thought about it, the less he understood, and he was even a little annoyed.
However, he still decided to go to Qi Cheng to see what kind of medicine this despicable villain was selling in his gourd.
After thinking about it, he left the house and followed the servants of Qi Mansion to Qicheng's house.
After walking all the way through the courtyard, Li Qian was finally led to Qicheng's residence.
He took a deep breath to calm down, then shook his robe and walked into the house.
The room was obviously filled with incense and there were burning charcoal pots.
The crackling sound accompanied by the incense makes people feel very comfortable.
He hesitated for a moment before walking towards the back room.
As soon as he entered the back room, a strong smell of medicine hit his nostrils.

Li Qian felt choked and wanted to pinch his nose, but felt that this behavior was rude, so he held back.
He walked into the back room and saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed.
This person was covered with a thick quilt but still shivering, obviously very ill.
"This must be Mr.
Qi.
He is the messenger sent by General Li.
He has a letter for you."
Qi Cheng coughed several times and then said: "It turns out he is General Li's confidant.
Please sit down quickly."
"Thank you, Mr.
Qi."
As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person.
Although Li Qian was dissatisfied with Qi Cheng, since Qi Cheng's attitude was so good now, he couldn't be too aggressive.
He lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down on the chair, and then said in a harmonious voice: "My general told me to hand the letter into Master Qi's hand with my own hands.
No one else can do it.
So I offended you before."
Please forgive me, Mr.
Qi."
Li Qian wiped away all the previous unhappiness with just a few words, which was enough to give Qicheng some face.
When Qi Cheng saw this, he couldn't help himself.
He coughed and said, "General Li's great love for the little old man, I really can't repay him."
"This is a handwritten letter from General Lee."
Li Qian took out the sealed letter, then stood up and walked to the bed, placing the letter in front of Qi Cheng with both hands.
Qi Cheng quickly took the letter and said, "Thank you."
He took out the letter and opened it to read.
At first, he looked normal, but the more he read, the more surprised he became.
Li Dingguo actually wanted him to contact the Tatars secretly and sell grain to Hanzhong.
Of course, Li Dingguo specifically pointed out that this was a plan by Governor Wen Anzhiwen, and Governor Wen knew the ins and outs of the matter.
It is tantamount to saying that Qicheng is doing things for the imperial court.
Qicheng was instantly in chaos.
How could it be like this?
How could it be like this?
This is completely different from what he thought.
Originally he thought that Li Dingguo came to him to ask him to raise food and grass for the Ming army, but who would have thought that he was actually raising food for the Tatars.
As the governor of Sichuan, why would Wen An do this?
Could it be that he wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty?
Qi Cheng only felt his heart pounding.
"Master Qi" Seeing Qi Cheng's nervous expression, Li Qian asked suspiciously.
"oh" Qicheng responded, and then said: "This letter is written by General Li himself."
"certainly."
Li Qian said swornly: "My general said it, Master Qi will understand everything after reading this letter."
"General Li, did you ask me to tell you anything?"
Qi Cheng asked unwillingly.
"That's really not the case.
My general only asked me to ask Master Qi's wishes.

Master Qi, please give me permission whether you are willing or not, so that I can go back and resume my life.
My general can also report to Governor Wen."
Li Qian said very calmly.
"This is natural" Of course Qi Cheng would not make such a hasty decision.
He will not make any substantive commitments until he figures out what Li Dingguo's purpose is.
Because this matter is of great importance, it is not just about some money, but the future of the Qi family.
"Please let me think about this again."
"Master Qi" Hearing that Qi Cheng wanted to think about it again, Li Qian gave up.
"There's no need to be so entangled in this matter.
I've already left Chengdu for a few days, and I've been staying with you for another three days.
I'm afraid my general will blame me if I continue like this."
Li Qian thought Qicheng still wanted to delay, so he made it clear.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood."
Qi Cheng explained: "I alone don't have the final say on the affairs of my Qi family.
I have to ask other elders in the clan for their opinions before making a decision.
But don't worry, I will definitely give you an accurate decision." talk
