Chapter 162: Prime Minister Qi’s visit

Qi State, Linzi, Prime Minister's Mansion.

"What? Is this true?"

In the study, after listening to the news reported by his subordinates, Qi Xiang Tian Li suddenly looked at him.

Facing the scorching gaze, this subordinate suddenly felt that there seemed to be a pressure coming towards him from the front.

However, the news he heard with his own ears gave him some confidence. While he swallowed the saliva in his mouth, he saw this subordinate boldly confronting Qi Xiang Tian Li.

"Report to the Prime Minister. At this time, my subordinates have repeatedly investigated and found that Duan Qianjie, the senior official of Wei State, has indeed arrived in Linzi."

"It's just that he didn't choose to settle in Guanyi. Instead, he stayed in Bai's Restaurant opened by Bai Gui, a wealthy businessman in Linzi City."

The news of the arrival of Duan Qianjie, the senior official of Wei State, made Qi Prime Minister Tian Li feel a little solemn in his heart;

However, his behavior of not checking into Guanyi when he arrived in Linzi made Tian Li feel solemn and a little doubtful.

Gently putting the ink pen in his hand aside, Tian Li slowly stood up from behind a few cases. At the same time, a sense of thought gradually emerged on his brow.

Now the Wei State has led the remaining six countries to form a coalition, and a fierce battle with the Qi State is going on in the west of Qi. The coalition even has the upper hand.

Duan Qianjie, the senior official of the State of Wei, chose this time to come to the State of Qi and acted in such a secretive manner. He must not have had anything to do but came with a mission.

So why did Duan Qianjie come? Or what did the Wei State behind him want?

Tian Li's brows furrowed even more when he thought of this, and his right hand clenched tightly into a fist unconsciously.

While thoughts were racing through Tian Li's mind, his subordinates stood silently, fearing that the slightest movement would disturb his thoughts.

After a period of silence in the study, as Tian Li's clenched right hand gradually loosened and his frown gradually relaxed, the depressing atmosphere in the room was significantly relieved.

"Since the guest has arrived, whether he is a bad guest or a kind guest, the host will naturally go and see him."

As this thought arose in his mind, he heard Tian Li shouting towards the door of the study, "Here, prepare the car."

After giving the instructions, Tian Li's eyes slowly moved to the subordinates on the side, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Would you like to come with me to meet this great doctor from the Kingdom of Wei who has come from afar?"

Facing Tian Lidao's invitation, the subordinate immediately bowed and said, "Since it is the Prime Minister's invitation, I should obey it."

This voice fell, and as Tian Li and his subordinates left one after another, the study fell into calm again.

Just as Tian Li was riding a carriage towards the doctor of Wei State, in a guest room of Bai's Restaurant, a young man was reporting in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the doctor, just five days ago the Qi State's 100,000-strong army left Linzi and marched towards the line of the Great Wall in the south."

"Although the combat power of Qi's army is not as good as ours, the foundation of Qi's country cannot be underestimated!"

After listening to the news reported by the young man in front of him, Duan Qianjie, the senior official of the State of Wei, who was sitting behind a few cases and holding a letter in his hand, had a sigh very similar to that of Sima Gongsun Qi of the State of Wei.

Duan Qianjie gently put down the letter in his hand, stood up from his seat, and walked step by step to a window.

Looking down through the open window, I saw a bustling scene with a lot of people and a steady flow of people.

Looking at Linzi in the field of vision, which was a bit more prosperous than Anyi, the capital of Wei State, Duan Qianjie sighed that Qi State, located on the coast of the East China Sea, with the advantage of fishing and salt, was indeed uniquely endowed by nature, and he felt even more fond of this opponent.

Somewhat vigilant.

Although today's Qi State is retreating steadily under the attack of the coalition forces, the foundation formed by Qi State's hundreds of years of accumulation is extremely solid.

If one day there is a heroic leader like Qi Huangong in the past, Qi may not be able to become strong again and stand at the top of the world's princes.

Nowadays, Wei is the overlord recognized by all the princes in the world. The rise of Qi will inevitably challenge Wei's status, and greater conflicts will inevitably break out between the two sides in the future.

After realizing this, Duan Qianjie's eyes gradually narrowed as he looked down, and a sharp edge appeared between his eyebrows.

Duan Qianjie's eyes were silently staring down for a long time, and suddenly a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision.

After taking a step forward gently and confirming the identity of the figure again and again, Duan Qianjie's mouth curved slightly.

"But the master came to visit."



"Report to the doctor, all the ministers have arrived."

A moment later, with the sound of a report ringing in his ears, Qi Prime Minister Tian Li came to the front of Duan Qianjie, the senior official of Wei State.

Seeing the figure of Qi Xiang Tian Li, Duan Qianjie put on an unexpected look on his face, and he was already in front of him in a few steps.

"I didn't know that Prime Minister Qi came here today, but I didn't go far to welcome you. Please forgive me."

"The doctor said something serious. He came to your door today without informing you in advance. It's up to me to apologize to the doctor. I just didn't know..."

Tian Li's words stopped at this moment, and a look full of meaning appeared in his eyes, "I just don't know if the doctor is willing to receive me, an uninvited guest who came to the door rashly?"

After listening to Tian Li's words, a hint of imperceptible embarrassment quietly emerged in Duan Qianjie's eyes.

Although Tian Li called himself an uninvited guest in his words, how could Duan Qianjie, who came to Zi on the orders of Wei Marquis Wei Feng, not be an uninvited guest to Qi?

The reason why Tian Li asked such a question was, firstly, to test Duan Qianjie's purpose of coming here, and secondly, it also contained a hint of warning.

The trace of embarrassment in Duan Qianjie's eyes quickly disappeared, and a smile that seemed to come from the heart appeared on his face.

"What are you talking about, Prime Minister Qi? This is the capital of the State of Qi. How can Duan Qianjie, as a member of the Wei State, refuse Prime Minister Qi?" After a soft response, Duan Ganjie quickly made an invitation to Tian Li.

Gesture, "Please sit down together."

"In this case, I would rather obey Duan Qianjie's invitation than I am respectful." After accepting Duan Qianjie's invitation, Tian Li immediately came to the table opposite him and sat down.

After a few breaths, he looked at Duan Qianjie, who was also sitting opposite, and heard Tian Li ask in a deep voice: "What do you think of our country, Qi?"

"The State of Qi is located on the coast of the East China Sea. It has advantages in fishing and salt, has developed commerce, and has abundant treasury. It can be said to be one of the few powerful countries in the world."

"Especially the prosperity of Linzi, the capital of Qi State, makes me, a Wei man who has been here only a few days, envious."

Hearing Duan Qianjie say such words, Tian Li, the prime minister, immediately responded in a deep voice: "The words of the superior doctor are really overrated. I think when it comes to the prosperity of Anyi, it is not inferior to Linzi."

"There are more than thousands of miles between Anyi and Linzi, so the doctor's visit can be regarded as a journey. In normal times, Tian Li would have held a banquet in the mansion to welcome the doctor."

"It's just that the two countries are at war at this moment. As a minister of Wei State, would it be inappropriate for Shang to come to Qi State at this moment?"
