"Wei envoy Zhang Yi has met the Marquis of Qi."

When the voice sounded in front of him, Qi Houtian Yinqi couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him.

"Why did Wei's envoy come here?"

"To be fair to the Marquis of Qi, I came to Qi State for no other reason than to gain fame." Faced with Tian Yinqi's inquiry, Zhang Yi seemed quite calm.

Zhang Yi's answer aroused Tian Yinqi's inner curiosity, "Did the Wei envoy come here to fight for his life?"

"Exactly."

"The foreign minister is young, but he just entered the court for the first time. In terms of qualifications,..." Zhang Yi shook his robe gently as he spoke, "But he is really mediocre."

"Wei is the most powerful country in the world today. It can be said that there are many talented people in the court, and scholars from all over the world are vying to go there."

"Faced with such a situation, if Zhang Yi wants to stand out, she can only do what ordinary people cannot do."

"This is also the reason why Zhang Yi came to Qi this time."

Although he only spoke a few words, from the way he spoke and his demeanor, Tian Yinqi had already concluded that Zhang Yi was indeed a talent.

In addition to praising the Wei State for its clever methods of recruiting talents, Tian Yinqi's words also had a hint of solicitation.

"If you are interested, sir, you can come to our country of Qi. With your talent, the position of minister is already vacant."

"Qi Hou is joking." Faced with Tian Yinqi's warm invitation, Zhang Yi seemed nonchalant.

Zhang Yi's reaction immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Tian Biqiang, the prince of Qi State. "My father treated you so politely. Even if you don't have your ambitions in our country of Qi, you don't have to be so rude."

"It's not that Zhang Yi is rude. Not to mention that Zhang Yi is originally from the Wei Dynasty, and his appointment as an official in the Wei Kingdom is in line with God's will."

"What's more, the country of Qi is now in danger, and the Marquis of Qi is recruiting Zhang Yi..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yi bowed to Tian Yinqi in front of him and said, "I dare not accept it!"

"Hehehe..."

A burst of self-deprecating laughter suddenly sounded, and Tian Yinqi said to himself with a sad face: "Yes, our country of Qi has been defeated again and again, and is seeing its destruction imminent. I am recruiting talents for the country of Qi at this time, so what else can I do?

What’s the meaning?”

"Maling, Pinglu, Changguo, Linzi..."

When the names of the fallen cities of Qi kept reappearing in Tian Yinqi's mind, he felt a tightness in his chest, followed by a sweet taste in his mouth.

"Father..."

"Your Majesty..."

In anger, a stream of blood flowed from the corner of Tian Yinqi's mouth, which immediately caused everyone present to exclaim.

In the battle of Changguo, Tian Yinqi was seriously injured by the arrow shot by Gongsun Yan, the rhinoceros leader.

In recent days, the soldiers under Gongsun Yan's command have been hotly pursuing him, which has prevented Tian Yinqi from properly recuperating, and his physical condition has been deteriorating.

Zhang Yi's words just now aroused the most painful and serious injury in Tian Yinqi's heart. It can be said that the life of this Marquis of Qi has entered a countdown at this time.

"Someone is coming!"

Seeing his father like this, Prince Tian Biqiang immediately directed his anger at the Wei envoy Zhang Yi in front of him.

But just when he was about to issue the order, a deep command came out of the corner of Tian Yinqi's mouth, "Wait a minute."

After stopping Tian Biqiang's order, Tian Yinqi looked at Tian Ji who had been silent since just now, "General Tian Ji..."

Although Tian Yinqi didn't finish what he said, Tian Ji understood what he meant and came directly to Zhang Yi.

"Sir, you just said you came here to gain fame. I wonder how you plan to gain fame?"

Even though such an unexpected incident had just happened, Zhang Yi still had a calm face at this moment, "I would like to teach General Tian Ji to know that Zhang Yi wants to use his sharp tongue to persuade the Marquis of Qi to agree to the conditions proposed by my king and promote Wei.

There is a truce between Qi and Qi."

"What conditions? It's just that my father must surrender to his King Wei, and there will be no more Qi in the world." Zhang Yi's voice fell, and the prince Tian Biqiang on the side immediately said coldly.

"Why did the prince say this?" With a look of astonishment on his face, Zhang Yi immediately said loudly: "The king has never had the intention to destroy Qi."

"Since you have never had the intention to destroy Qi, then why did your country bother to mobilize tens of thousands of troops and send hundreds of thousands of elites to attack our country of Qi." Hearing Zhang Yi's answer this time, even Tian Ji, who was much calmer, couldn't help but bring it to his words.

A bit angry.

Facing the two angry eyes in front of her, Zhang Yi straightened her waist, "Not for any other reason, but to wash away the shame brought upon me by Qi State, Wei Dynasty."

"In the previous meeting at Lantian, we, the Wei Dynasty, showed our sincerity and sent envoys to invite the State of Qi to participate in the alliance. But how did the State of Qi treat me, the Great Wei?"

Facing Tian Ji and Tian Biqiang's gaze with burning eyes, Zhang Yi continued to say eloquently: "We, the Wei Dynasty, are the most powerful country in the world today, and my king is recognized by the princes as the overlord of the world."

"After my king heard that the State of Qi refused to participate in the meeting, he was very angry. The Prime Minister even suggested to the king that the Marquis of Qi should go to the ancestral temple of the State of Wei in person to apologize, so that the shame of the Wei State can be washed away."

"It is precisely for this reason that the Wei Dynasty raised troops this time."

"Cough cough cough..."

"It turns out it was me who harmed the Qi State!" Tian Yinqi pushed himself up, steeled himself and looked at Zhang Yi, "I wonder what King Wei wants to do to protect our Qi State?"

"First, the Marquis of Qi went to Anyi in person to apologize in front of our Great Wei Ancestral Temple."

"Secondly, the territory of Qi State to the west of Jimo will be included in the territory of Wei State from now on, and Qi State will be a vassal of Wei State from now on."

…

The night was getting darker, but Tian Yinqi's eyes still shone with thought.

"Father."

A voice sounded in Tian Yinqi's ears, and then Prince Tian Biqiang came to him.

"Does my father really want to agree to the conditions proposed by the Wei envoy?"

Tian Biqiang's inquiry did not receive a reply from Tian Yinqi, but only a long silence.

"Father, I can't agree." Tian Biqiang was young at this time, and his words were filled with the spirit of a young man. "Father, at the worst, I will die. My son is willing to follow his father and fight to the death with the Wei army."

"Qingshi Pass was defeated, Chang State was defeated, and even Linzi, the capital of Qi State, fell into the hands of Wei State."

A low voice sounded, and Tian Yinqi looked at Tian Biqiang in front of him, "Now that we are heavily surrounded by the Wei army, and there is no possibility of escape, how can we talk about a fight to the death?"

"Father..."

He slowly stood up and walked step by step in front of Tian Biqiang, "Biqiang, you have to remember that compared to the survival of our Qi country, the honor and disgrace you and I have are nothing."

"My father-in-law handed the country of Qi into my hands because he wanted me to carry it forward. I am very ashamed that I could not fulfill my father-in-law's last wish, but I cannot let the country of Qi be destroyed in my hands."

"Pi Qiang, promise my father..."

With firmness in his eyes, Tian Yinqi stretched out his right hand towards Tian Biqiang, but young Tian Biqiang felt like a huge burden was pressing on his shoulders.

"Protect Qi Kingdom!"
