"Well said!"

Qingji's concluding words declared the end of the discussion. Yes, there is no need to continue discussing it. What Qingji thought of before, Hua Chen said, but Hua Chen mentioned a lot of things that he had picked up, a big treasure.

The back hall of the city lord's mansion

"Are you Hua Chen?" Qing Ji said in disbelief.

"Wow! The young master is so heartbreaking. I have known each other for so long, can't you even remember what I look like?" Hua Chen said in a sad tone.

"Haha, stop pretending to be a good thing for me. I just don't believe that the words in the hall today were spoken from your never-ending mouth."

"Young Master, there is a saying in our hometown that 'Scholars should treat each other with admiration for three days'. We haven't gotten together to drink for three days. You should treat me with admiration, okay?" Hua Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, tell me about your detailed plan."

"Yes, young master" Hua Chen put away his laughing expression and became serious. He and Qingji already had a tacit understanding - a clear distinction between public and private, which was the case when they were learning swordsmanship. When everyone was drinking and chatting together, what did you say is what you said, and when practicing swordsmanship, what did you say? You are just an apprentice, practice swords honestly, don't be smiling.

Hua Chen said seriously: "Young Master, the first thing we need to solve is the problem of the envoy of the State of Defense. The city cannot be returned, but it cannot be called a treacherous reputation. This name is too heavy and the young master cannot bear it. Therefore, we cannot say that we will not return it, so we can only say that we will return it for a delay, borrow it for another three years, and make a heavy profit. It doesn't matter whether this benefit will be dared to accept the King of Wei who is sandwiched between the Prince and Helu, but it is for the people of the world to see."

Hua Chen was quite disgusted with his ideas. When he was a child, he hated the little bosses who owed wages to migrant workers the most. He used the workers' hard-earned money to invest, and he didn't even have to pay interest. During the holidays, he went to migrant workers' homes to send some fish and meat to migrant workers' homes. Now, he has become such a "little boss". When his grandfather found out, he had to beat him to death, Hua Chen thought to himself.

Qingji nodded, and Hua Chen continued: "What General Fan said in the hall today is not unreasonable. The morale of the army can be expected and not deceived. Now is the best time to send troops. People should be sent to Qufu, Lu's capital, immediately to clear the relationship with the ruling Ji Sun Yiru, Shusun, and Mengsun family heads, explain the pros and cons, and allow our army to pass through the territory of Lu."

"Who do you think can be sent?" Qing Ji asked

"I" Hua Chen answered decisively, wondering if a new idiom will appear in the future: Hua Chen recommends himself.

Qingji's reaction was also very decisive and said, "Okay, I will draw 300 soldiers from the army and set off for you to choose a date to go to Shandong."

The next day, the suburbs of Aicheng

Three hundred soldiers stood in unison. The severe winter had arrived and the weather was cold, but none of the soldiers rubbed their hands and feet to wipe their noses. This was a team with strict military discipline, and this was the elite of Qingji's army. Now, Qingji handed over this team to Hua Chen and went to Lu with him.

"I'm leaving now!", "I'm not waiting!" Qingji stood opposite Hua Chen and sighed.

"Be careful when you go to Qufu this time." Qingji said uneasy.

"Don't worry, if you go in person, Ji Sunyiru may have some plans. As for me, an unknown man, he may not do anything. Besides, you can do everything in the army with me. If it really doesn't work, I will kill the generals. Although my swordsmanship is not as good as you, it is still OK to deal with ordinary people." Hua Chen said easily.

"Okay, let's go." Qingji patted Hua Chen on the shoulder and signaled the entire army to set off.

Looking at Hua Chen's back as he gradually faded away, Qing Ji was still worried, not because he was afraid that he would not be able to complete his mission, but because he was worried about his safety. I don't know when, Qing Ji had already regarded Hua Chen as a brother, knowing each other and getting along with each other. Moreover, Hua Chen showed his outstanding insights and showed his extraordinary insights. No matter from any aspect, Qing Ji did not want Hua Chen to be in trouble.

Qingji prepared a ox cart for Hua Chen. It was snowing heavily outside the car. Hua Chen, who was holding a warm stove in the car, felt cold. He felt a little sorry for the sergeant walking outside. He pulled the curtain and was about to get up, and said to the person driving: "Brother Zhong, the brothers are all cold outside, but I am sitting alone in the greenhouse. I really feel sorry for it. I'd better go out and go with my brothers."

Yes, the driver is Zheng Wenzhong. He has extraordinary martial arts skills. Qingji arranged him to drive for Hua Chen. Although he was a little useless, he wanted to be at ease.

"Sir, don't do this. Mr. Lu has important matters when he goes to Lu. If he gets infected with the wind, wouldn't it delay the young master's affairs? Although the soldiers are all rough people, they still understand this truth." Zheng Wenzhong immediately stopped Hua Chen and stopped him from going out. Several soldiers around the car also agreed.

Hua Chen thought that what Zheng Wenzhong said was right. He had to maintain a twelve-point spirit to deal with the old foxes in Lu. If he got to Lu, he would have something to do, so he shrank back.

As we get closer to Lu, Hua Chen feels a little closer to homesickness. The land of Qilu, this once familiar name, this place of water and land that has raised him for more than ten years, is now back. Although things are neither human nor human, the local feelings are real.

After entering the border of Lu, along the way, with Qingji's seal, Hua Chen successfully passed several big cities such as Hu Zhong, Xu Ju, Qu Chi. Although the road was blocked with heavy snow and few pedestrians walked around the city, you can see the prosperity from the closed shops on both sides of the street. Any city is more grand than Aicheng. Lu is really rich, Hua Chen thought to himself.

When Hua Chen and the soldiers came to Quchi, the heavy snow that lasted for several days still did not stop. Many soldiers were frostbite. Zheng Wenzhong insisted on going to Qufu and then settled. From ancient times to the present, soldiers did not like to drag the mud. However, Hua Chen disagreed and forced everyone to find a large inn in Quchi to stay at the place, and then go on a rush.
