Li Yuanji returned to his tent and quickly arranged for someone to visit as Du Qi's old friend. Unfortunately, the person Li Yuanji arranged couldn't enter the camp at all. Instead, he was blocked outside and couldn't see Du Qi. No matter what, it was useless to say that he was an old friend.
When the news reached Li Yuanji's tent, Li Yuanji was helpless.
He took the initiative to recommend himself and volunteered.
But he failed.
Li Yuanji was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Helplessly, Li Yuanji could only go to Li Jiancheng's tent to report this matter. When he saw Li Jiancheng, he reported, "Big Brother, I arranged for someone to pretend to be Mu Qi's old friend and ask for a meeting. Unfortunately, he couldn't even enter the camp and was directly rejected. It's probably impossible to see Mu Qi now. I think it's probably because Li Shimin wants to protect Mu Qi. "
Li Jiancheng said, "Fourth Brother, do you have any other ideas?"
Li Yuanji said, "I think the only way now is to use Big Brother's order to forcefully summon him. I don't believe that Mu Qi dares to defy Big Brother's summons. "
Li Jiancheng said, "Let's try."
"Yes!"
Li Yuanji said, "I'll arrange it immediately."
Li Jiancheng waved his hand.
Li Yuanji turned and left. When he returned to his tent, he arranged for someone to pass on the order.
Under the night sky, Du Qi was reading in his tent.
In his tent, Mordor and Liu Jian were waiting on him. Because of the night's rest, Mordor had already taken off his armor and returned to his original appearance. For a rough person like Mordor, wearing armor during the day wasn't tiring at all.
Du Qi was reading and thinking about things, while Mordor was sleeping on the ground below.
Liu Jian wasn't sleeping at the side and was still reading.
He was studying the recipes and thinking of ways to improve them. Liu Jian was very relaxed in the army. He didn't need to follow Du Qi all the time. He only needed to stay in the tent and prepare food for Du Qi, ensuring that Du Qi had three meals a day.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier's voice sounded outside the tent.
After Liu Jian heard this, he got up and walked out of the tent. When he saw the soldier, he asked, "What's the matter?"
The soldier at the door reported, "The Crown Prince sent someone to summon Mu Qi."
"Just a moment!"
Liu Jian instructed and entered the tent. "Young Master, the Crown Prince has sent someone to summon you."
Du Qi's expression was solemn as he pondered. Evidently, due to the successive battles, Du Qi's identity as Mu Qi had been leaked. Now, he was, he was specifically summoned was.
Previously, someone had pretended to be his old friend and asked to see him, but Du Qi had ordered the soldiers to refuse.
He didn't want to cause cause trouble.
So he refused refused.
Now, it seemed, Li '' ''s's was....
Du Qi could choose not to go, but if he didn't go, it would be disobeying orders and might cause Li Shimin to be reprimanded. Du Qi thought for a while and ordered, "Tell the messenger I'll go immediately."
"Yes!"
The soldier left after reporting.
Liu Jian became nervous, "Young Master, the Crown Prince isn't a good person. You'll be in danger if you go. Young Master, it's best if you don't go. "
Du Qi said, "I can hide for a while, but I can't hide forever. Since I can't hide, I'll go. "
Liu Jian said, "Young Master, take Mordor with you. With Mordor, you'll be safe."
Du Qi laughed and shook his head, "If I take Mordor with me, won't I be telling Li Jiancheng I'm Du Qi? Mordor isn't like you. Mordor has fought several times. Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and the others all have an impression of him. I'll go alone this time. "
Liu Jian was even more worried when he heard this.
Because it was too dangerous.
Du Qi walked to Liu Jian's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
He changed into a black robe, tidied his hair, fixed his beard, and slightly drew his eyebrows to make sure there were no flaws in his appearance. Then he left the tent.
Even if one looked carefully, one couldn't tell that this was Du Qi's appearance.
Du Qi left the tent and soon left the camp. He went straight out of the city and came to the camp of the Tang army outside the city. At this time, a soldier led Du Qi to the Crown Prince's tent.
Du Qi saw Li Jiancheng and bowed, "Du Qi greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Jiancheng looked at Du Qi.
'Mu Qi' had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His face was handsome and elegant, giving people the impression that he was a wise man. When Li Jiancheng saw Du Qi's appearance, he nodded in his heart. No wonder he was the one who gave advice to Li Shimin.
His appearance was extraordinary.
Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "Sit!"
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After thanking him, Du Qi sat down and took the initiative to ask, "May I know why Your Highness summoned me?"
Li Jiancheng said with a smile, "Actually, it's nothing special. I just heard that Mr. Mu gave advice to the King of Qin and helped him easily defeat Mingshui County and Quzhou County, and even killed Liu Heita. I'm a little curious, so I summoned Mr. Mu to meet me and chat. That's all. "
Du Qi said, "Your Highness is overpraising me. In fact, it's not only my credit, but everyone's. Moreover, it's also because of the concerted efforts of the King of Qin's soldiers that we won the two battles. "
Li Jiancheng said, "Mr. Mu, you're too modest."
After a pause, Li Jiancheng said, "People like Mr. Mu, who have great talent, are really rare. I also admire you very much. If you work for the King of Qin, you're working for the Tang dynasty. If you work for me, you're also working for the Tang dynasty. "
"However, as the Crown Prince of the Tang dynasty and the future emperor of the Tang dynasty, I can provide Mr. Mu with a broader platform and more opportunities."
"So, I hope that Mister can come under this Crown Prince and work for this Crown Prince."
"Of course, you don't have to worry about anything. As long as you agree, I can transfer you here with a transfer order. You don't have to worry about the King of Qin's opinion."
Li Jiancheng said, "In short, as long as Mr. Mu is willing to come, I'll take care of everything for Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu, what do you think? "
Hearing this, Du Qi sneered in his heart.
Li Jiancheng was trying to poach him.
Du Qi didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked like he was thinking.
It was Du Qi's thinking that made Li Jiancheng think there was hope. Because if Du Qi didn't want to, he would decisively refuse. But Du Qi was thinking, which showed that he had an idea.
This made Li Jiancheng happy.
Li Jiancheng didn't disturb him. He just sat there and waited quietly.
In the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour passed.
Du Qi breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. A virtuous minister chooses a master to serve. I'm very grateful that Your Highness thinks highly of me and is willing to entrust me with important tasks. But I heard that Wei Zheng is the chief strategist under Your Highness. All the affairs in the East Palace are discussed by Your Highness and Wei Zheng. With Wei Zheng, do you still need me? "
