Chapter 697 News about Qingyu
Ji Yunshu even suspected that the other party had a hidden card that they didn't know about.
After all, from the beginning to the end, King Yong never considered defeating them head-on.
Whether it is Suzhou, Southern Xinjiang, or even Mobei, the other side relies on conspiracy and tricks.
At this point, they are pressing forward step by step, and King Yong has no place to retreat.
Qi Zheng certainly knew that he couldn't be careless about Prince Yong's affairs: "Alright, the emperor has said that I will listen to you. I will do whatever you say."
Zhao Shen felt that this was the good thing about Qi Zheng: although he seemed unruly, he never thought highly of himself.
He nodded and said, "Next, we will act separately. You will deal with the Yu family's affairs, and then publicly return to the capital to report to the emperor. Secretly, go to the army and investigate those Japanese pirates and water bandits who are colluding with Prince Yong."
Qi Zheng smiled and said, "I like this."
Perhaps because he had been in the army for so long, he became more and more fond of direct fighting and killing rather than fighting with others.
Of course, if he was the only one doing the job, he might have put in a little more thought.
But now that he has Zhao Shen, he will leave all the things that require thinking to Zhao Shen.
No matter how much he thought, it would never be better than what Zhao Shen thought.
After he left, Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen were also planning to leave, when suddenly a little girl came to tell them that Miss Qingyu wanted to see her.
Ji Yunshu subconsciously looked at Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen knocked her forehead and said, "Why are you looking at me? I haven't even met her."
Ji Yunshu then realized that the other party was here to see her, so she said, "Come in."
When Qingyu came in, Zhao Shen had already gone behind the screen. Ji Yunshu was sitting on a chair. She did not change her appearance today.
Qingyu was stunned when he saw her face.
Seeing her staring at him without saying anything, Ji Yunshu had no choice but to ask, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Qingyu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, your face..."
She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "She looks a lot like Miss Xianxian, doesn't she?"
Qingyu shook her head: "She didn't look like that before."
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow: "Have you seen her original appearance?"
Qingyu said after careful consideration: "Yes, we grew up together. She used to be very beautiful, but not like now."
In front of Ji Yunshu, she no longer spoke with the ease she had before.
This was not her fault. She had only been testing Ji Yunshu to see how powerful he was.
Who would have thought that just a few days after she revealed the news, something happened to the Yu family and the ship was sealed.
At this time, there were soldiers guarding outside.
The fact that Ji Yunshu can come and go freely speaks volumes.
Someone who can deal with the Yu family...
She guessed in her mind.
Ji Yunshu invited her to sit down and said, "It seems that you have guessed why she has become what she is now."
It is not difficult to guess what the purpose of changing one person's appearance into that of another person could be.
No wonder Zhao Shen was so angry after knowing that Xianxian looked like her.
Qingyu nodded slightly: "Her first task after changing her appearance is to seduce someone."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "You even know this. It seems you have a good relationship with her."
Qingyu is a little younger than Xianxian, and they are equally beautiful, but perhaps because of years of dancing, Qingyu has a better figure.
If these two grew up together, they should be competitors.
But these two people passed the information to her one after another, exposing Yu Chuannan's affairs.
Ji Yunshu felt that the two of them didn't seem to have discussed this beforehand.
Even the information between the two of them is not synchronized.
Xianxian obviously knows more than Qingyu.
Qingyu probably knew that hiding anything was pointless, so she spoke very frankly: "She was kind to me. I came from a good family, but I ended up in this situation. I couldn't accept it at first. She secretly helped me many times. Otherwise, I would have turned into a pile of bones long ago."
In this place, no one cares about your original identity. If you don't humble yourself, you will end up dead.
When she spoke, her tone was full of self-mockery.
Ji Yunshu understood why she always felt a sense of disharmony with Qingyu.
She has a superior temperament in her bones, but her pride was broken in such a place.
Although she still had a bit of aloofness and dignity, she had to choose to bow her head in order to survive.
Ji Yunshu asked again: "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Qing Yu hesitated and said, "You are from the imperial court. Are you also interested in Prince Yong's affairs?"
Ji Yunshu suddenly looked up at her: "What do you know?"
Qing Yu said, "Prince Yong is on an island not far from here. I know some of the situation on the island and can tell you everything, but can I ask you for a favor?"
Ji Yunshu asked suspiciously, "Where did you get this information from?"
The madam is training Qingyu to be the next oiran. While she values her, it also means that she will be strictly controlled.
She couldn't leave here easily. Someone was watching her every word and action. There was no reason for her to know about King Yong.
Qingyu knew that she had to answer this question, otherwise Ji Yunshu would have no reason to believe her.
She lowered her head and said, "You should also know that Mom often asked us to serve those pirates. There was one leader who always specifically asked me to serve him. He once told me that when he became an official, he would take me away from here."
Ji Yunshu narrowed his eyes: "Did he tell me how to get an official position?"
Although there is corruption in the officialdom of Daxia, it has never reached the point of selling official positions and titles.
It is almost impossible for a pirate to obtain an official position.
If it weren't for the Japanese pirates, the coastal bandits would be the first targets that the officers and soldiers would have to eliminate.
Qing Yu lowered his voice. "I didn't know it at the time, but later he told me that as long as Da Xia changed its emperor, his chance would come. Not long after that, the news of Prince Yong's failed rebellion in the capital spread. So I guess he was related to Prince Yong."
Ji Yunshu nodded, this was very reasonable.
She was a little surprised. Although Qingyu said it as if it was easy, they were in a place like this, and they would come into contact with many people every day and get a lot of information.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to find out what they want from a large amount of information and make reasonable inferences.
But thinking about what she had just said about her unusual background, Ji Yunshu vaguely understood something.
This is not ordinary, probably not just ordinary, which is why she has developed such a keen ability to analyze information.
"Then he became busy and came here much less often than before. It was only from his sporadic chatter that I learned that they were robbing and killing people on the waterway with a specific purpose."
This news was very important. Ji Yunshu felt that as long as he checked the families doing business on the water, and saw which families were prone to accidents and which families were fine from beginning to end, he would be able to find out a lot of things.
Ji Yunshu nodded: "What else do you know?"
