More than eighty miles northwest of Shangqiu, on the north bank of Danshui River, is Fengcheng.

After the robbery outside Shangqiu City, Zou Ji and Tian Ying were brought to this small city in the Song Dynasty.

Fortunately, as Zou Ji had expected, the person behind the scenes obviously had other intentions, but it did not harm the two of them.

Apart from being unable to leave the courtyard where they live, the two of them were quite well prepared for all their needs.

However, such thoughtful treatment did not alleviate the anxiety in the hearts of Zou Ji and Tian Ying.

At the moment when the war between Wei and Qi is in full swing, they, as envoys of the Qi State, are attacked and killed in the Song Dynasty. What are the intentions of those who took action?

After thinking hard for many days, Zou Ji and Tian Ying were still puzzled.

Another day, the two of them once again sat opposite each other behind the desk in the room.

"I wonder what the master is planning to do when he thinks the person behind the scenes captured us here?"

Feeling the constant pain in his right hand, Zou Ji was at a loss to deal with the questions asked by Tian Ying.

Zou Ji slowly shook his head and said: "The identity of the enemy is not yet known, I really can't figure it out."

"Could it be the State of Wei..."

"Probably not." Zou Ji shook his head again, "If King Wei insists on taking action against the two of us, Duke Song may take action due to the power of Wei."

"But that only requires the use of a single army in Shangqiu City, and we will be captured in one fell swoop. There is no need for such a large-scale war outside Shangqiu City."

After weighing it, Tian Ying finally nodded, "What the gentleman said is absolutely true, so who could it be?"

Just when Zou Ji and Tian Ying were guessing the identity of the person behind them, the door was opened from the outside.

Under a burst of slightly dazzling sunlight, a figure slowly walked into the room.

"It's you!"

Seeing the man standing in front of them, Zou Ji and Tian Ying exclaimed in unison.

Zou Ji and Tian Ying were not familiar with the visitors, but they were not unfamiliar either.

Since arriving in the Song Dynasty, Zou Ji and Tian Ying, who were envoys of Qi, began to make friends with important figures in the Song Dynasty, hoping that they could influence Song Gong's decision.

Among them, Song Gong's younger brother, Gongzi Yan, was naturally an important figure that the two of them were unwilling to let go.

During the time they stayed in Shangqiu, Zou Ji and Tian Ying prepared generous gifts and went to Gongzi Yan's mansion.

After a while, Zou Ji, who recovered first among the two, immediately showed an evil look on his face, "I wonder what the master's intention is in capturing the two of us here?"

Faced with Zou Ji's undisguised caution and disgust, Gongzi Yan didn't seem to care, but instead smiled.

"You two don't need to be polite, just take your seats."

Under the protection of several attendants, Gongzi Yan went straight to the main seat of the room. As for Zou Ji and Tian Ying, they returned to their seats after communicating with each other with their eyes.

After sitting down, he looked at Zou Ji and then at Tian Ying beside him. The smile on Gongzi Yan's face became even brighter.

"I used extraordinary means to invite you two here. I really had no choice but to do so."

"Young master, there is no need to say this." Facing the young master Yan, Zou Ji went straight to the point: "Young Master, as a young master of the Song Dynasty, actually robbed and killed our envoys from the Qi Kingdom in the Song Kingdom. Aren't you afraid of Song Gong's wrath and our Qi Kingdom's revenge?

"

"If in the past, the Qi State was indeed stronger than the Song State, I would have to weigh the two of you carefully. But at this time..."

With a hint of contempt on his face, Young Master Yan said in a slightly casual tone: "Now the Wei State is aggressively attacking the Qi State, and even Linzi, the capital of the Qi State, has fallen into the hands of the Wei State."

"The State of Qi is about to be destroyed before our eyes. How much energy does it have to care about you two? How many troops can it send to attack our State of Song?"

"As for Song Gong's anger..."

Mentioning his brother Song Gonghan, a hint of deep ambition appeared in Gongzi Yan's eyes, "As long as this matter can succeed, I will definitely be able to replace him."

"If I'm not wrong..." Zou Ji looked at Young Master Yan with determination in his eyes, "Young Master is planning to use the two of us to make good friends with the State of Wei in order to seize the throne of Song Gong."

"Pa bang bang..."

There was a crisp sound of clapping, and a hint of appreciation clearly flashed through Young Master Yan's eyes as he looked at Zou Ji, "As expected of a high official in the State of Qi, sir, he is indeed a highly intelligent person, and he could see my plan at a glance.

"

"Yes, the reason why I went to great lengths to invite you two here is to exchange you for a promise to Wei."

"boom!"

The moment Young Master Yan finished speaking, Tian Ying, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stood up and rushed towards Young Master Yan.

"I'll fight you!"

"Young master, no!"

But before Tian Ying had time to rush to Young Master Yan, with the sound of several long swords being unsheathed, sharp sword blades were already placed on his neck.

"Master, don't move, otherwise you will die!"

His eyes glanced at Zou Ji, who was trying to maintain his composure, and Young Master Yan walked out of the room minding his own business.

"You two are waiting here to go to the Kingdom of Wei. Don't play any tricks in the meantime."

…

The capital of Wei State is Anyi, in the palace of the King of Wei.

"Sima, how is the situation on the front line?"

"Your Majesty, according to the plan of the Prime Minister, our army will be divided into two groups, one from the south and one from the north, to capture the territory of Qi State east of Linzi."

"According to the good news we just received yesterday, our army on the north route has set off from Yeyi, and our army on the south route has successfully captured Yiwei. I believe that the prime minister and the general will join forces at the foot of Jimo City in the near future."

On the throne, Wei Wang Wei Feng listened carefully to Sima Sun Boling's report on the battle situation on the front line, and nodded slightly from time to time.

Regarding the current war situation in Qi, Wei Feng expressed from the bottom of his heart that he was very satisfied.

Of the five capitals of Qi, only the city of Jimo is still in the hands of Qi. After the battle of Changguo, it was even more difficult for the Qi army to face the Wei army in a decisive battle. The battle between Wei and Qi was not far away from ending.

The Qin State in the west, the Zhao State in the north, and the Chu State in the south, these previous opponents have been severely damaged by themselves one by one, and it will be difficult to compete with the Wei State from now on.

Now that a large area of ​​Qi's territory will also be included in Wei's territory, Wei Feng's heart will not be filled with excitement.

"color!"

After the applause, Wei Feng's attention shifted to another matter, "How is the search for the whereabouts of Marquis Qi going?"

"Your Majesty, according to the news sent back by Xishou the day before yesterday, more than 50,000 men under his command have tightly blocked the main roads from Lushan to various cities in Qi State, and will never allow the remaining soldiers under the Marquis of Qi to escape."

"In addition, Xishou also borrowed a group of soldiers from the Lu State who are familiar with the terrain of Lu Mountain, and asked them to cooperate with us to go into the mountain to investigate. Not long ago, there seemed to be news about the Marquis of Qi."

"good."

Although Wei Feng had not experienced enough training for this great talent in his previous life, he still admired Gongsun Yan in his heart.

Otherwise, he would not have appeared on the battlefield of this attack on Qi.

"Send an order to Gongsun Yan to find the whereabouts of the Marquis of Qi, whether alive or dead."

"Here."

After Sun Boling was ordered to retreat, Wei Feng slowly stood up from the throne and walked step by step to the map he had seen countless times.

Destroy all? Preserve all?

Different options emerged in Wei Feng's mind, making him constantly weigh them in his mind.

"Report..."

At this moment, another report sounded outside the hall.
Chapter completed!
