Warm medicine emits fragrance

The two people outside said some more trivial things and then prepared to leave.

Qi Weiming stood still and waited until the footsteps disappeared before coming out.

As soon as they came out, they quickly walked around the area to find Li Chenbi.

He had to tell Li Chenbi about this, and make sure he hid Fan Liuer well so that Yanling wouldn't find out.

They had just circled around from behind when they crashed into Yanling as they turned a corner.

He was alone; Yi Chengzhi was nowhere to be seen.

Qi Weiming paused, his expression slightly stiffening.

Yan Ling had been waiting for him there, a smile on his face. "I was wondering who it was, but I didn't expect it to be Lord Qi."

Qi Weiming suppressed his panic and smiled, "Young Master, I didn't expect to run into you here. Are you here to see the General? I'm going there too, let's go together."

As he spoke, he started to walk forward.

He had barely taken a step when Yanling stopped him.

"I've been waiting for you here, Lord Qi, why pretend you don't understand?"

Seeing that he couldn't fool him anymore, Qi Weiming stopped pretending, his smile faded, and his expression returned to normal.

"Young Master, I didn't mean it, but you can rest assured that I didn't hear anything. I never like to meddle in other people's business. As you know, I don't get along with certain people, so I won't interfere in their affairs."

It was common knowledge throughout the military camp that Qi Weiming and Li Chenbi were at odds. Even General Yan had tried to mediate, but to no avail. Every time Qi Weiming saw Li Chenbi, he wished he could kill him with his eyes, making no attempt to hide his disgust for Li Chenbi.

"Lord Qi, there's no need to be so nervous. I stopped you not to cause you trouble, but to give you a chance to vent your anger."

Qi Weiming didn't quite understand what he was saying.

Will Yanling create an opportunity for him to vent his anger?

Because of his good relationship with Yanqiu, Yanling had always ignored him when he saw him before, never even giving him a second glance.

"What do you mean by that, young master?"

Yan Ling smiled at him, "You dislike him too, don't you? Coincidentally, I dislike him now as well. Why don't we team up to deal with him? What do you think, Lord Qi?"

Qi Weiming looked at him but didn't say anything.

Yan Ling continued, "Don't you want to see him ruined? Don't you want to see his family destroyed?"

Qi Weiming remained silent, deep in thought.

Yanling's words reminded him that everyone thought he hated Li Chenbi to death, and if there was a chance to kill Li Chenbi, he would definitely be the first to jump out.

That is indeed the case, but now that Fan Liuer is by Li Chenbi's side, he can disregard Li Chenbi, but he cannot disregard Fan Liuer.

Only if Li Chenbi is safe can Fan Liuer be safe.

Even for Fan Liuer's sake, he couldn't stand against Li Chenbi.

Not only can he not stand against Li Chenbi, but he also has to help Li Chenbi avoid these troubles.

Could he use the fact that others thought he hated Li Chenbi to feign allegiance to Yanling and extract information?

He was deep in thought and hadn't spoken yet. Yanling misunderstood that it was because of Yanqiu, raising an eyebrow slightly, "You've been thinking about this for so long because of Yanqiu?"

Qi Weiming glanced at him but did not deny it.

Yan Ling chuckled, "Lord Qi is a man of great loyalty, but there aren't many people in this world as loyal as you. You're here worrying about him, but does he even remember the bond between you two?"

"If he remembered, why would he follow Li Chenbi around every day?"

Qi Weiming knew this was an opportunity.

If he agrees too quickly, Yanling will inevitably become suspicious. Only by provoking Yanling with his words and then agreeing can he deceive Yanling.

He clenched his fist, bit his lip, and said in a low voice, "That's the Second Young Master's business. I have no right to interfere with who he wants to be close to."

Yan Ling sighed softly, "That means he doesn't value you at all. He was close to you back then only because Father valued you. But when Li Chenbi appeared and Father valued him more, he immediately abandoned you to win over Li Chenbi."

"Lord Qi, I feel sorry for your sincere heart. You were taken advantage of, yet you still remember his kindness."

Qi Weiming clenched his fists even tighter and his jaw tightened, clearly suppressing his anger.

Seeing this, Yanling thought the time was right and slowly said, "He doesn't even think about you, so why should you think about him?"

"Have you ever considered that, given Li Chenbi's current position with my father, once my father moves to the capital, Li Chenbi will be second only to the emperor. Do you think he will still let you off the hook for targeting him at that time?"

"And at that time, will Yanqiu protect you?"

"Lord Qi, everyone looks out for themselves. You should think more about your own situation."

Qi Weiming pursed his lips, and after a moment looked at Yan Ling, "What does the eldest young master want me to do?"

Yan Ling smiled again, "Lord Qi is indeed a smart man. With Lord Qi's help, my actions will surely be twice as effective."

"This matter is actually not complicated; it only requires Lord Qi to make a small adjustment."

"Now that the imperial court is in dire straits and the war situation is basically settled, Li Chenbi's existence is of little significance. We must kill him before entering the capital, otherwise, once he enters the capital, it will be the two of us who get killed."

As he spoke, he approached Qi Weiming and whispered beside him, "I've been keeping an eye on Li Chenbi ever since I left Qianzhou. Li Qiuping hasn't been with him the whole way; he sent him to escort the luggage."

"You and I both know that Li Qiuping is Li Chenbi's confidant. Li Qiuping is almost always by Li Chenbi's side. Why was he sent to watch the luggage this time?"

"I think there must be something important in that pile of luggage. Go and find out what he hid in there."

Qi Weiming had been curious about this before, but now he knows that Li Chenbi's mother was hiding Fan Liuer!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse Li Chenbi in his heart.

He thinks he's so clever that he can fool everyone, huh? So many people are watching him, his every move is under their observation. Where does he get the confidence that he can fool so many people?

And so, everyone started to have doubts.

Fortunately, Yanling entrusted this matter to him to investigate, rather than to Yi Chengzhi.

"It's not that I didn't try to inquire, but he guarded the luggage very closely, and I had no chance to get close at all," Qi Weiming said, feigning difficulty.

Yan Ling raised his hand and patted Qi Weiming on the shoulder. "Lord Qi, anything is possible with effort. I believe you can definitely handle this matter well."

"Think about it, the fact that he values ​​his possessions so much means that these things are very important to him. If you and I get our hands on them, we can definitely use them to get revenge on him."

"Thinking about it that way, don't you feel better?"

Qi Weiming twitched the corners of his mouth and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"It really felt satisfying."
