Blood from Daming

Chapter 286 The Mystery
Yan Sanniang was very surprised when she heard Qi Bo's words, but she just looked at Qi Bo and said nothing. Qi Bo went on to say: "San Niang, you are setting up a layout on Changtu Island. I am afraid that you have established your own independent kingdom outside the imperial court. Bar."

Yan Sanniang said: "Master, this is what my husband means. He thinks that being with you is like being with a tiger. He wants me to find another way out for the Xue family in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the court will not turn their backs in the future, and the Xue family will have nowhere to go."

Qi Bo said: "Then tell us about your plan."

Yan Sanniang said: "What my husband wants is to find a foothold outside Hangzhou Bay, so that we can go north to support Uncle Xue, and go south to lay a foothold. If we retreat, we can preserve the blood of Xue's family, and if we go forward, we can watch the Central Plains wait for an opportunity."

Qi Bo listened for a long time before he said: "Well, I still underestimated the young master. It turns out that the young master has a far-sighted view and has laid out the world. It seems that the Wen family and the old ancestors will finally see the light of day."

Yan Sanniang asked suspiciously: "Master, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?"

Qi Bo straightened his clothes, then knelt down in front of Yan Sanniang and bowed in front of Yan Sanniang. Qi Bo's action shocked Yan Sanniang, and Yan Sanniang turned sideways in panic and said: "Master, this is what happened."

Qi Bo generally kowtowed while addressing: "My humble minister Qi Tianyuan, kowtow to Your Majesty."

Yan Sanniang was inexplicably yelled at by Uncle Qi, she sat there dizzy and didn't know what to do, it took a while to wake up from the shock, in fact, Yan Sanniang had already suspected that Xue Yun might It has something to do with the remnants of Jianwen, but I didn't expect Xue Yun to be the biggest remnant of Jianwen. Yan Sanniang couldn't accept this role change.

Yan Sanniang asked Qi Bo Qi Tianyuan who had already stood up: "Master, what is going on here?"

Qi Bo said: "Your Majesty, listen to the old minister in detail. Your husband, Xue Yun, is from the lineage of Emperor Jianwen's crown prince. He has fought for 200 years as an orthodox dragon descendant of the Ming Dynasty and loyal to Emperor Jianwen. It's a pity. If the timing is wrong, everything will fail, but our living officials dare not forget the king's orders and ancestors' precepts, and work hard to restore the country of Jianwen's descendants. Your husband is the direct descendant of Emperor Jianwen, and should be the real master of Ming Dynasty. Madam, you too It should be in the third palace."

Yan Sanniang blushed when she heard Qi Bo's words, she didn't expect that this enemy was actually a dragon species, Yan Sanniang thought to herself that this little guy was hiding something from her mother, but she was a little discouraged when she thought of her own background, so Qi Bo said: "Master , in the future, don’t call me empress, so as not to be misunderstood by other sisters in the future.”

Qi Bo said: "Your Majesty, the emperor's family affairs are state affairs, and Lady Yan is the young master's right-hand man. It is not impossible that the day of the founding of the country will be Ming Zhengzhong Palace."

Yan Sanniang was a little terrified when she heard Qi Bo's words, but Qi Bo showed his attitude of fully supporting her, which made Yan Sanniang think about trying to win Qi Bo over. Yan Sanniang said: "My husband has a wife, we Let’s not talk about these things.”

Qi Bo said: "Your Majesty, there is no woman in Daming who is definitely qualified to be the young master's wife. We veterans also need to look at your mother's contribution to the country. There is no such thing as a good thing in the world."

Yan Sanniang tentatively said: "Master, you are now in Hangzhou and you will lead the power of Changtu Island."

Qi Bo said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a lot of things to do. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to take care of a small island. Why don't you and the old minister each lead a group of people to coordinate with each other, and maybe we can make a difference in the south of the Yangtze River."

Yan Sanniang nodded her head in agreement, and Qi Bo said: "If the empress needs help, the old minister has an ambush in Taihu Lake, and there are some people in Hangzhou, let the empress use it."

Yan Sanniang was overjoyed when Qi Bo said: "Master, with the support of these two groups of people, we should be able to gain a foothold in Jiangnan."

Qi Bo shook his head and said: "Mother, there is no civil strife in Daming now, the whole timing is not very good, let's see the reaction of the young master, besides, our power in the south of the Yangtze River is still too weak."

Yan Sanniang said: "Master, what my husband means is to take the island of Taiwan opposite the Black Water Ditch, use it as the Xue family's base, and plan for the next step of development."

Qi Bo said: "Mother, there are pirates, Japanese pirates, and Fan people on Taiwan Island. Without tens of thousands of troops and a large number of warships, it is impossible to go ashore. What's more, those people's muskets are very powerful. Even if they go to the island, they will not be able to go ashore." No matter how many chances of victory, unless the young master's brigade of Datong elite soldiers come, it is possible to win. However, the Fanren are mercenaries from Western powers, and the Fanren also have a large number of people in Nanyang. The country will not send troops to interfere."

After hearing what Qi Bo said, Yan Sanniang felt as if she had been splashed with cold water, and said a little bit expectantly, "Master, could it be that this island of Taiwan cannot be fought?"

Qi Bo sighed: "Why can't we fight, but the key is that we are afraid that we will spend all the capital of building a country with these pirates, Japanese pirates, and foreign people. We have to discuss this matter with the young master."

Yan Sanniang didn't argue with Qi Bo on this issue, but just discussed with Qi Bo how to cooperate with Qi Bo's team. Qi Bo said that he would send Yan Sanniang a liaison officer, and he would rush back to Xuezhuang as soon as possible. He inquired about the news, but Qi Bo told Yan Sanniang that the people in Hangzhou Mansion in his hands had only been found recently, and the internal affairs had not been completely straightened out. I hope Yan Sanniang would value the opinions of the liaison officer.

Yan Sanniang let out a lot of enthusiasm when she heard Kaixian, the people who dared to recruit hadn't fully accepted Qi Bo's leadership, Qi Bo saw Yan Sanniang's concerns and said: "Your Majesty, the young master's father There are eight powerful generals and advisers under his command. After the master was killed, these eight forces were hunted down by the imperial court. Three of them were completely wiped out, and the other four were killed and wounded. Only one of them was missing. He and the people from all walks of life were betrayed by traitors, but after more than ten years of investigation, they still haven't found any clues, so we have to suspect that the people from all walks of life disappeared for no reason."

Yan Sanniang asked: "Master, how many troops do we have now?"

Qi Bo said: "The other four groups of people are also scattered. The veterans have searched for many years and finally found them all. One is in Datong, Shanxi, the other is in the depths of Taihu Lake, and the other is found in Hangzhou Mansion recently. It is said that one of them went back to Nanyang. The disappearing group of people may have gone to Mongolia."

After hearing Uncle Qi's words, Yan Sanniang asked curiously: "Master, did your grandparents come back from Nanyang?"

Qi Bo nodded, and continued to say to Yan Sanniang: "I have been with veterans all the way in Taihu Lake, and there is no problem with loyalty. There are about 1000 people under him, and there are about [-] soldiers who can fight. In Taihu Lake, fishermen and The two identities of water bandits appeared, and soon the old ministers would ask them to send liaison officers to the empress, but the Hangzhou mansion was divided into two factions, the young and radical were recruited by the white-clothed scholars, and the old and mature had been sticking to their masters. Due to their loyalty, the veterans found this group of people by chance, but they have not yet unified internally, so our ability to use this group of people is very limited."

Yan Sanniang asked: "Master, is it true that the husband's mother is a member of the White Lotus Sect?"

Qi Bo asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, how do you know?"

So Yan Sanniang told Qi Bo about Xue Yun and her encounter with Miss Xu, the Jade Maiden Sacred Sword. The most beautiful woman in the White Lotus Sect, the master was completely fascinated by her, and plunged into the White Lotus Sect. At that time, the old minister advised the master to leave, but the master said that he would use the power of the White Lotus Sect to strengthen his own power. Later, the master relied on his handsome appearance. , profound knowledge, superb martial arts, and the saintess who conquered the White Lotus Sect is the young master's mother. They secretly gave birth to the young master, and they both died soon after. A descendant of my mother’s family.”

Yan Sanniang said: "Master, but Miss Xu, the Jade Maiden Sacred Sword, has always insisted on having a marriage contract with her husband. I don't know if Master knows about this matter."

Qi Bo said: "Madam, my old lady is the nanny of the young master's mother, but the old minister has never heard of her. It should be the baby kiss agreed by the Xu family sisters in private. If Miss Xu is willing to contribute to the young master's great cause of restoring the country, It doesn't matter if the empress has one more sister."

Yan Sanniang smiled slightly and said: "Master, don't worry, Sanniang puts her husband's overall interests first, and will do her best to make this marriage possible."

Qi Bo rejoiced and said: "Your Majesty is so virtuous, it is the blessing of the young master who has practiced for many lifetimes."

Yan Sanniang asked: "Master, Mr. Jiang Mingjiang, the prosecutor of Zhejiang Province, is a survivor of Emperor Jianwen, and now he has surrendered to Sanniang, but he wants to meet someone who knows the magic of plum blossoms."

Qi Bo said: "Jiang Ming, who knows the magic of plum blossoms, is there any descendant of the Jiang family?"
