Chapter 279 Adding makeup
Only then did Feng Qingsui know that the famous Wantong Trading Company in Xirong was founded by Xiao Zhaolin.
"Isn't his ambition just to be a big businessman?"
She asked with a smile.
"He wants Shengguo to regain its independence."
Wuhua replied.
"The Xirong Emperor has more than a dozen adult sons, all of whom are ambitious. He uses his financial resources to secretly support them in developing their own power."
"As long as the Xirong Emperor dies, Xirong will fall into civil strife. He can then let Shengguo take advantage of the opportunity to break away from Xirong or even counterattack Xirong."
Feng Qingsui chuckled: "So, Sheng Kingdom has long been under his control?"
Wuhua nodded.
"After his father surrendered to the Western Rong, he followed the orders of the Western Rong Emperor and disbanded most of the army. He then transformed these disbanded soldiers into his own private army."
After a pause, he continued, "I stayed with Zhao Ning after the poison was cured, so that I could one day take revenge on the Xirong Emperor."
It's nice to take shelter under a big tree.
It would be extremely difficult for her to kill the Xirong Emperor by herself.
Xiao Zhaolin has the same goal as her, and he has money and connections, so it would naturally be much easier to join forces with him.
Feng Qingsui heard this and asked, "Are you planning to return to Xirong?"
Wuhua said "hmm".
"I have to kill the dog emperor so that he can no longer capture people as snake women. But your wedding day is coming soon, I will wait until you are married before leaving."
"Let's go together then."
Feng Qingsui smiled.
"I'll help you get revenge."
Five-flowered: (⊙⊙)
She kidnapped his wife right after they got married. Will Ji Changqing send someone to hunt her down?
She was also worried about Feng Qingsui going to Xirong.
"good."
She responded.
She was thinking in her mind that she would leave quietly and never let Feng Qingsui know.
Feng Qingsui could guess what she was thinking, but she didn't expose her thoughts. Instead, she smiled and said, "You take a rest first. I'll go find Zhao Ning and ask about Xiao Zhaolin's plan."
"I'm well now," Wuhua said, "Let's go together."
Feng Qingsui said hello.
Xiao Zhaoning was very happy to learn that Wuhua had recovered her memory. After reminiscing about the past, he said, "My brother asked us to wait in Daxi. He will pick us up after he finishes his business."
"Why did your elder brother let you stay here?"
Feng Qingsui asked his doubts.
"Weren't you discovered by the Xirong Emperor's secret guards?"
Xiao Zhaoning had previously had the same doubt and specifically asked Wuying about it. Wuying replied, "My brother hired someone to impersonate me and lured the pursuing secret guards to Sheng State. The old emperor is now sending more people to Sheng State to find me."
Feng Qingsui immediately understood.
It turned out that she had diverted the attention of the Emperor of Xirong. No wonder Zong Hebai dared to keep her as a hot potato.
But she still didn't quite understand why Zong Hebai wanted to keep her.
After returning to the clan residence, she specifically asked Zong Hebai about it.
"Hua Lin promised to send me some translators," Zong Hebai replied. "I plan to go overseas for trade, and I need translators who understand the languages of the coastal countries."
Feng Qingsui raised an eyebrow: "The maritime ban hasn't been lifted yet, and Fourth Uncle is already preparing to go to sea?"
"Aren't you already training the navy?"
Zong Hebai said with a smile.
"Once the pirates are wiped out, we'll be able to open the sea."
"Fourth uncle really has a keen sense of smell."
Feng Qingsui exclaimed in admiration.
In order to obtain potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn as quickly as possible and increase grain production, Ji Changqing has made the construction of strong ships and powerful guns and the training of navy his top priority.
He planned to wipe out the pirates within three years and sent envoys to the South and West Oceans to obtain grain and seeds.
Although overseas trade carries huge risks, the profits are also huge. There are many businessmen who want to go overseas, but it is rare to find someone like Zong Hebai who makes preparations as early as possible.
Zong Hebai smiled and said, "I wanted to go to sea a few years ago, but unfortunately pirates were rampant and it was difficult to move forward. Now that there is a dawn, I must seize it."
Opportunities come to those who are prepared.
If we wait until the sea opens before building ships and preparing to go out to sea, we will not be able to eat the first bite of meat.
"Fourth uncle is so amazing."
Feng Qingsui praised.
"In a few years, Nanbei Grocery will probably go from being the number one business in Daxi to the number one business in the world."
Zong Hebai laughed.
"Thank you for your good wishes."
After saying that, he took out a stack of deeds and handed them to Feng Qingsui.
"You will be getting married in half a month. This is the dowry your fourth uncle gave you."
Feng Qingsui: (ω)
"Didn't you give me Fubaiju as a dowry? How come there is still some?"
"The wine sold at Fubaiju is your recipe, so you've always had a share of it," Zong Hebai said with a smile, "and these fields and houses are my added dowry."
Feng Qingsui took it with a smile.
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle."
At noon, she returned to the Epidemic Prevention Bureau. After meeting Ji Changqing, she told him the identities and purposes of the assassins yesterday that she and Wuhua had analyzed.
Ji Changqing's face darkened.
"Leave it to me," he said in a deep voice, "You don't have to go to Xirong to kill him."
This "he" naturally refers to the Emperor of Western Rong.
Feng Qingsui blinked: "What are you going to do?"
Ji Changqing kept the secret.
"Eat first, I'll talk to you later."
Feng Qingsui glanced at the delicious food on the table that made him salivate at the sight, and nodded in approval.
After lunch, Ji Changqing returned to the office, wrote a note, put it in the mailbox, and handed it to Yan Chi: "Give this to Xiao Zhaoning and ask her to pass it to her eldest brother."
Yan Chi took the order and left.
Xiao Zhaoning was startled when he suddenly saw a stranger appear in the courtyard. Just as he was about to call Wuying, he heard the stranger say, "Our prince needs your help to pass on a message."
Xiao Zhaoning: “???”
After understanding the whole story, she summoned Wuying and asked him to release the carrier pigeon.
A few days later, Xiao Zhaolin, who was in the capital of Xirong, received a note from Ji Changqing. It contained only one sentence: "Want to buy arms?"
Xiao Zhaolin: "..."
Since the Western Rong and the Sheng Kingdom learned that Daxi had developed firearms, they had also tried to make guns and artillery shells. However, because their craftsmen were not as skilled as Daxi, they failed repeatedly and have not yet produced any weapons that can be used in combat.
Unexpectedly, Ji Changqing was willing to sell arms to him.
It's a bit sudden.
He put down the letter from Ji Changqing and opened the letter from Zhaoning.
His gaze suddenly froze.
Hua Ling recovered his memory? !
After reading the entire letter, his face turned pale.
Hua Ling actually recovered his memory because he was attacked and poisoned.
That old immortal not only has his eyes on Zhao Ning, but also has his eyes on Hua Ling's current master.
No wonder Ji Changqing suddenly tried to sell him arms.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up his pen to reply to Ji Changqing, and then released a carrier pigeon to summon his men.
If there were a bomb, his dragon-slaying plan could be advanced...
In Cheng'en Mansion, Luo Rongkai excitedly said to his father, "Dad, the bombs are ready. Have you got the route for Ji Changqing's wedding?"
"I got it."
Marquis Cheng'en replied.
"He plans to go around in a circle and walk all the roads that bring good fortune, wealth, longevity, happiness, health, peace, smoothness and prosperity."
"It will pass through Ruyi Bridge, right?" Luo Rongkai's eyebrows lit up with joy. "Just put the explosives under the bridge. It won't be any easier."
