Su Qin's convoy crossed the border of Zhao. As soon as he entered Qi, he met the ministers sent by Qi to greet him. They were waiting in the first post station within Qi. They saw the convoy of Zhao's delegation coming in and came out from a distance.

Zhou Shao, who was walking in front of the mission team, received the news and immediately rushed to Su Qin's carriage. He stood at the horse and reported loudly to Su Qin: "Prime Minister, Qi sent ministers to greet him. I don't know what to do. Please ask the Prime Minister to tell me."

Su Qin sat in the car, and when he heard Zhou Shao's report, he lifted the curtain. He thought to himself: "It seems that his great fanfare not only shocked Wei, but also shocked Qi."

He immediately got out of the carriage, and not long after, the ministers of Qi had arrived. Su Qin looked closely and found that the person who came was Tian Ming, who had visited Yunmeng Mountain with Sun Bin.

The two met very kindly. After holding their fists and bowing, they enthusiastically asked about each other's situation. Tian Ming is now named the Central Doctor of Qi and is in charge of the concierge affairs of Qi.

Tian Ming loudly reported to Su Qin: "According to the order of the King of Qi, I specially welcomed Zhao's envoy, Prime Minister Su Qin, on the border of Qi, and asked Prime Minister Su to go with me to our capital Linzi."

When Su Qin heard Tian Ming's words call the king of Qi the present king as king, he understood that the Qi country had also changed the name of the king as "marquis" to "king".

About two years before Su Qin came out of Yunmeng Mountain, Qi Duke Tian Pijiang and Wei Duke Ji Si met in Xuzhou, recognized each other as kings, and then changed the date. It seems that the whole country of Qi has completely adopted a new title.

"You must be careful of this, otherwise it will really make Tian Pijiang unhappy and add obstacles out of thin air." Su Qin was careful.

King Tian Pijiang of Qi sent a special concierge to the border to welcome him, which also showed his importance to the Zhao mission. After all, Zhao was a great country and had always had good relations with Qi. The mission was the prime minister of Zhao and was of high power. This was also an important reason why the King of Qi treated Su Qin with the courtesy of the state.

Tian Ming sighed and praised him when he saw Su Qin so majestic today. Although Tian Ming left Su Qin's brothers behind at the critical moment, Su Qin still retained a little alert, he was a doctor of Qi and had official business dealings with him, and Su Qin was unwilling to mention the embarrassing things he had back then.

Tian Ming himself seemed to have forgotten that there was a moment when he chatted with Su Qin on the road, as if the two were confidants who had been separated for many years. Su Qin was really not very adaptable for a while, but he also politely and diligently agreed with Tian Ming.

Tian Ming's concierge car team led the way in front. The team was unhindered along the way and was moving very fast. They arrived in Linzi City at night that day.

Tian Ming warmly invited Su Qin to rest at his own mansion. Su Qin refused again and again, but Tian Ming persuaded him to Tian Mansion.

When Su Qin's carriage arrived at the door of Tian Mansion, he found an old man in his fifties with a strong face and extraordinary temperament, and was greeting him at the door.

After Su Qin got out of the car, the old man came up. Tian Ming hurried over and introduced to Su Qin: "This is my father, the prime minister of Qi."

When Su Qin heard this, he was shocked. He knew that the current Zhengqing of Qi, who was equivalent to the Prime Minister of Zhao, was named Tian Tong, but he did not expect that he was Tian Ming's father. Qi did not have a prime minister and still followed the system of the previous dynasty, and Zhengqing was the leader of all officials.

"No wonder Tian Ming sometimes seems arrogant inadvertently. It turns out that he has such a background." Su Qin immediately realized the origin of Tian Ming's arrogance that he did not take others seriously.

"Since Montaigne is waiting here, Su Qin doesn't know, I hope you forgive me." When Su Qin heard the introduction, he hurriedly bowed his fists and bowed forward, bowed forward to show his respect for the older person.

Tian Tong also bowed back and returned the greeting. He then stepped forward and held Su Qin's hand and said, "Why do you have to be polite to Prime Minister Su? It is my honor to be able to come to my mansion. Come, come, come and rest in the mansion."

Seeing that Tian Tong was not tall, with a round face, and a pale face, Su Qin looked very enthusiastic, and kept holding Su Qin's hand and saying polite words such as "Dear Guests Come Away" and "Thank you for your hard work".

Su Qin had a good first impression of this Qi State's official minister. He felt that as a Qi State's official minister, he was enthusiastic and solemn, very decent, and very approachable, which made people who were first in contact with him feel a sense of intimacy.

Tian Tong took Su Qin's hand and came to the main hall of Tian Mansion. Su Qin saw that the lobby was seven or eight meters wide and about five meters deep. It looked very spacious, but the furnishings in the hall were very simple.

The ground is covered with fine straw mats, and there is no soft mat made of fur or beautiful as ordinary wealthy families. The tables on the mat are also solid-colored wood products, such as common objects in civilian homes.

Tian Tong sat down in the master's seat and brought Su Qin to the guest seat very close to him. Tian Ming was opposite Tian Tong, and was still a certain distance from them, with a clear sense of accompanying and serving.

Su Qin asked Tian Ming to get closer, but Tian Ming refused to agree. Seeing that his respectful expression was obviously different from the energetic young man he had seen back then.

Su Qin secretly praised him, feeling that after years of experience, he has become much more mature and steady.

Tian Tong clapped his hands and came in from outside the hall a man dressed as a housekeeper. Tian Tong told him to serve the dishes and wine. The man took the order and left. After a while, the wine and food were served, four side dishes, two small bowls of rice, and some clear and mellow wine.

Tian Tong raised his glass to toast Su Qin and gave the host a treat to guests. Even if the banquet began, Su Qin tasted the wine and food and found it delicious and very refreshing, and he liked it very much.

From the decorations of the Tian family and the wine and dishes used, he saw Tian Tong's frugality, and felt that it was not easy for him to be so simple as a prime minister of Qi State. He couldn't help but secretly praised Tian Tong's character.

Su Qin immediately toasted Tian Tong with the manners of the guests. After drinking it all, he then asked the maid who served at the banquet to sift a glass of wine. He raised his glass and toasted Tian Ming with the courtesy of his friend.

Tian Ming was about to raise his glass together, but Tian Tong said, "Mr. Su is the prime minister of Zhao State. Although he is younger than me, he is an equal to me. As my son, Tian Ming is still one generation later."

After hearing his father's words, Tian Ming quickly put down his glass of wine, got up and knelt on the side of several tables, bowed to Su Qin, and then raised his glass to drink.
