Anyang City, on the city wall.

General Meng Kedi held the city wall with both hands and looked out of the city, he turned his head sideways and asked Li Qi: "Li Gongzi, what do you think of this Nanpingjiang?" ”

Li Qi replied: "Magnificent and important. ”

Originally, Li Qi was going to visit the general's mansion after he arrived, but Meng Kedi set the meeting on the wall of Anyang City.

What does this naturally mean, that is, to let Li Qi see something, or let others see Li Qi.

"Magnificent, important ......"

Meng Kedi repeated Li Qi's four, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Such a big river, is Li Gongzi's evaluation only four words?" ”

Li Qi leaned over slightly and replied: "Back to the general's words, I am just a businessman, and I said magnificent, because I saw Nanpingjiang for the first time, and for a while, I could only think of the word magnificent. ”

"It's important because I'm just a businessman...... This Cao Yun on the Nanping River is not only related to the commerce of Yuzhou and Jizhou, but also to the financial fortune of the entire Central Plains. ”

"Hahahaha......"

Meng Kedi laughed out loud after hearing Li Qi's words, nodded and said, "You are really a qualified businessman. ”

Although I approve, I still can't help but feel some regret in my heart.

This Li Qi is indeed just a businessman's mind, and the Nanping River he sees in his eyes is all money, maybe what flows in the Nanping River in his eyes is not water, but silver.

But it is precisely because of this businessman's mind that his mind is limited.

The Nanping River is the lifeblood, the division between the north and the south, and the moat.

He looked at Li Qi and asked, "Then let me ask you something...... Businessmen do business for profit, so what is profit-seeking and how to pursue profit? ”

Li Qi replied: "I asked myself this question at the beginning of my business, even earlier than my father asked me this question. ”

Meng Kedi smiled: "Then what is your answer?" ”

"Merchants seek profit, small profit is gold and silver, and big profit is status."

After answering this sentence, Li Qi smiled and said: "But this sentence is not my answer to myself, but to my father's words." ”

Meng Kedi said: "If you talk carefully, why answering your father's words is different from answering your own words. ”

Li Qi smiled: "Because the answer I gave myself was not on the table, and it was a little vulgar." ”

Meng Kedi was even more curious, he looked at Li Qi, waiting for Li Qi's answer.

Li Qi smiled embarrassedly, he is a person, he always looks so harmless when he laughs.

He replied, "If I hadn't said that, how would my father have passed on the business to me?" ”

Meng Kedi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

He asked, "You haven't said what you're doing business for." ”

Li Qi replied: "For the sake of pretending." ”

Seeing Meng Kedi's surprised face, he also explained a few words, a serious one.

"If a person is very powerful, but no one knows that he is very powerful, then it is not in vain."

Li Qi said: "If you walk at night in brocade clothes, you are not happy at all. ”

He looked at Meng Kedi and said: "I don't hide it from the general, I'm not afraid of the general's jokes, my purpose to do a good job in business is to live more comfortably than others, and let others see that I am more comfortable than them, and if others can't see it, I'll pretend in front of him." ”

Meng Kedi glanced at Li Qi and nodded: "The idea is indeed very simple, but it is also very practical. ”

He looked sideways at Ding Shengjia and Xue Chunbao who were standing beside him, the former with a smile on his face, and the latter with a look of disdain.

Ding Shengjia praised Li Qi, but at this time, Li Qi's answer was just a nouveau riche face.

If he had put it more bluntly, it would have been...... Having money is to pretend, and if you have money, you don't pretend, what do you want.

About a few steps away, an Anyang soldier standing there turned his head.

He turned his head so that others would not see that he couldn't hold back his laughter.

When the little marquis heard that Meng Kedi was going to see Li Qi on the city wall, his heart suddenly became playful.

He asked for a soldier's clothes and stood in the middle of the queue, in the second row of the queue.

Hearing what Li Qi said, he really couldn't help it.

Li Qi didn't seem to feel Meng Kedi's faint disdain at all, let alone Xue Chunbao's thick disdain.

He still said to himself: "I work hard to make money, just so that others can see that I am doing well, otherwise, why should I work hard." ”

He sighed lightly: "Anyway, I don't work hard, and I'm not short of money." ”

Meng Kedi nodded, he didn't want to continue talking on this topic.

Li Qi This is also a typical kind of youthful vigor, if he is older, how can he say such things in front of a group of generals and adults.

The little marquis Cao Lie finally held back his laughter, and said in his heart This Li Yi, you have aroused a trace of my fighting spirit.

Cao Lie is a person who feels that his life is very boring.

He has had everything since he was born, and he has no goals and desires to strive for at all.

At this time, what Li Qi said made him feel a little interesting, thinking that after he went back, he would come over with his father to try some business?

They chatted on the city wall for a while, and Meng Kedi gradually shifted the topic to Jizhou.

Even he didn't notice it, because of Li Qi's words, he relaxed his guard against Li Qi.

What's the end of it, because of these words, none of these generals on the city wall looked at Li Qi with a little more contempt.

At this moment, Li Qi in their eyes is just a gentleman who wants to prove that he has the ability.

Meng Kedi said: "Is Jizhou's business easy to do? ”

Li Qi replied: "Other businesses are not easy to do, but the medicine business has no impact. ”

What Meng Kedi wanted to hear was not the business of a medicine store, what he wanted to know was about the Jizhou Army.

"Your medicine store is so big in Jizhou, so your relationship with the Jizhou defenders should be very close."

Meng Kedi, who didn't want to test anything, directly threw out a more sensitive question.

Li Qi looked stunned for a moment, and his face changed.

This acting is natural.

He replied with a little embarrassment: "General, I'm just a businessman. ”

Meng Kedi smiled: "I'm not difficult for you, and I don't rob your business, I'm just a little curious." ”

He looked at Li Qi's eyes and said: "Your business is all over Jizhou, and Jizhou is now owned by Luojing, and what stays in Jizhou is a group of Yanshan thieves......

He looked at Li Qi and asked, "So I guess that the necessary medicines for the defenders are also sold by your Shen Yitang." ”

Li Qi became even more embarrassed.

After a while, he nodded: "Yes, the general is right, the necessary medicines for the Jizhou army are all from Shen Yitang." ”

Meng Kedi sighed: "Good business......"

He suddenly changed his words: "Gongzi Li, since your Shen Yitang provided medicine to the defenders of Jizhou, why did you bring medicinal materials to Anyang?" ”

Li Qi was stunned.

Meng Kedi's tone became even colder: "Could it be that Li Gongzi came with some ulterior motive?" ”

Li Qi subconsciously shook his head, and was forced to take a step back by Meng Kedi's gaze.

"I ..... You can't come, it's General Ding's kind invitation......"

Li Qi stumbled back.

Meng Kedi snorted: "Li Gongzi, your words are flickering, I'm afraid that there is a ghost in my heart, I saw that you have something to do with the Jizhou Army, and you are scared like this." ”

He took a few steps forward, looked into Li Qi's eyes and said, "Could it be that you came to inquire about my Anyang military situation for the people of Luo Realm?" ”

Li Qi's eyes widened, and his eyes were extremely complicated.

But in such a complicated look, Meng Kedi actually understood the one that Li Qi wanted to express the most.

The question that flickered in Li Qi's eyes was...... You say so much, you just want to rob me of my money.

After a while, Li Qi suddenly took a deep breath, he looked at Meng Kedi and said seriously: "The general is looking for an excuse to detain my goods." ”

Meng Kedi said in his heart...... Sure enough.

He looked into Li Qi's eyes and said, "Do you really think I want to use this as an excuse to detain your goods?" ”

The little marquis Cao Lie, who was not far away, turned his head again, and he couldn't help laughing again, almost laughing out loud.

Here, Li is scared, and the thief is fucking interesting.

Even if you think so, you can't just say it.

Li Qi said: "When I was in Shengfang County, I told General Ding that I could give these medicinal materials directly to General Meng, and what General Ding told me at that time was that you can buy your medicinal materials as you want......

Meng Kedi said: "What I suspect now is that you may be doing things for the Jizhou Army, not to detain your medicinal materials." ”

Li Qi said word by word very seriously: "I don't believe it." ”

Poof...... Cao Lie couldn't help it, and laughed in the second row.

Meng Kedi looked over there, Cao Lie squatted there and smiled, and waved his hand at Meng Kedi while laughing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I couldn't help it, hahaha, he said he didn't believe it. ”

Meng Kedi's face turned ugly.

And Li Qi stood there, as if he was sure.

Meng Kedi snorted, waved his hand and said, "Take him down and take care of him, search his caravan, and if you find any people or things related to the Jizhou army, everyone will be imprisoned." ”

He glared at Li Qi: "If you didn't do things for the Jizhou Army, I wouldn't have wronged you, if you were, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Li Qi looked a little resolute and said: "The general doesn't have to work so hard, I will give you all the medicinal materials, and we will leave Anyang City today." ”

Xue Chunbao, who was behind Meng Kedi, said slightly angrily: "Are you looking for death?" ”

Li Qi turned his head to look at him, only glanced at him, and then his gaze returned to Meng Kedi's side again.

It was this glance that really angered Xue Chunbao.

Xue Chunbao, a rough person, understood Li Qi's eyes...... What that guy means is, I don't care about you, you don't have the official surnamed Meng.

"General!"

Xue Chunbao said loudly: "Give this person to me!" ”

Meng Kedi turned his head and glared at him, although Xue Chunbao was fierce and violent, he didn't dare to confront Meng Kedi, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Meng Kedi instructed: "Ding Shengjia, take your people, take care of all Li Yiyi's caravan, and everyone must check it." ”

Ding Shengjia leaned over and said, "Subordinates obey." ”

He reached out and pushed Li Qi's shoulder: "Don't leave yet?" ”

Li Qi turned his head and glared at him, which made Ding Shengjia angry.

Because the meaning of Li Qi's glance is also obvious...... You're a bad person.

After Ding Shengjia took Li Qi and his people to the city, Ding Shengjia sighed beside Li Qi: "You are really stupid, you really didn't see what the general meant?" ”

Li Qi said: "If I don't see it, he will be angry and let you arrest me?" You are all bad people, you just want to rob my goods, you can only keep the goods, but let my people go, if you don't give an account, leave me alone, let my people go. ”

Ding Shengjia sighed: "It's really a fool......"

He looked at Li Qi and said, "The general is just deliberately embarrassing you, otherwise, how can you give an explanation to the Cao family?" ”

He explained: "The general is embarrassed and embarrassed for you, the people of the Cao family will not embarrass you anymore when they see it, the general has given them face, and if they embarrass you again afterwards, it will not give the general face." ”

Li Qi's eyes narrowed.

Ding Shengjia could see that there was still that meaning in his eyes...... He didn't believe it.

He pushed Li Qi: "Believe it or not, hurry up." ”

Li Qi smiled in his heart, and said in his heart If I don't say this, how can your general's trick to embarrass me be so smooth.

It's not like I'm cooperating well.
