Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Let me show you how I’m going to turn Fengdu upside down!
Upon hearing this, Qingzhu was stunned for a moment; her mind immediately became a whirl.
From what she knew of Qi Yue in this period, she was not one to do bad things.
Except…
Of course, that hardly counted as a bad thing.
An idea instantly surged to her mind, and Qingzhu blurted it out.
“My lord must be thinking of showing some divine power, right? That’s easy, why not just find someone to impersonate it?”
Qi Yue’s lips twitched slightly, and she immediately understood what Qingzhu meant.
“…Not a bad idea, you all are getting more and more capable… a raise is in order!”
Qingzhu scratched her head in embarrassment.
“Having been with my lord for so long, it’s natural to improve… But what does ‘a raise’ mean?”
Qi Yue waved her fan a couple of times, smiling, “After this matter is smoothly dealt with, each of you will be handsomely rewarded.”
Qingzhu’s eyes immediately lit up with joy.
“Thank you, my lord, for your grace.”
Qi Yue curved her lips into a beautiful smile.
“You should really be thanking Wei Yixiao—it’s truly because of her audacity that I even get the itch to take action.”
“Yes, my lord,” Qingzhu said, increasingly delighted. “We will definitely come up with a good plan to make sure Wei Yixiao can’t even leave her door!”
“…”
As the two of them spoke, they quickly arrived at the small hall.
In the hall, Zhao Chong, Zhao Tai, and the leaders of the Black Feather Guard from Fengdu were in the midst of a heated debate; they all fell silent at the sight of Qi Yue entering.
“What’s all this clamor? It sounds quite lively,” Qi Yue said, shaking her fan as she took the seat of honor.
Zhao Chong hurriedly came forward with hot tea, his expression excited, yet he kept his mouth tightly shut.
Qi Yue took the tea and sipped it.
“Put all those plans for revenge and retribution on hold for now. Qingzhu and I have already figured out a countermeasure. You can consider it later. First, let’s integrate all the information from various sources.”
“…”
Zhao Chong and the others all turned their gaze toward Qingzhu, and seeing his face full of joy, they nodded repeatedly, bowed, and loudly replied, “We will carefully adhere to my lord’s arrangements.”
After that, several people took turns coming forward, each reporting the intelligence they had gathered over the past couple of days and offering their analyses.
Because of the hot air balloon, Qi Yue and her associates could obtain information about the four countries faster than anyone else; nearby places took only a day or two, and even the furthest places took no more than two or three days.
Just like now, Qi Yue managed to grasp all the major events that occurred within the past two days in just half a Shichen.
Meanwhile, others were still looking at news from ten days ago, or even half a month ago!
However, this time, other than the letter from Zhao Xiyan, there weren’t many new or significant events happening in the four countries.
Qi Yue was only concerned with two points:
First, it seemed that after the old Emperor of Western Chu recovered from his illness, he started to grow restless again. There was information that he had secretly summoned two Great Generals, seemingly planning something anew.
Second was that Yuan Ji, who was so keen on persuading the four countries to form an alliance, was due to arrive in Fengdu today.
“My lord, Yuan Ji will enter the city at noon, and Prince Rui, Han Muge, has already sent someone to welcome him outside the city at that time. Shall we do anything?”
“No need, let’s see what he’s up to first,” Qi Yue stood up, shaking her fan and pacing the floor.
“How do you view the situation with Western Chu?”
Qingzhu and the others exchanged glances, each coming up with their own fine suggestions.
Qi Yue integrated their ideas and then immediately gave the order.
“Regardless of whether it’s true or false, we’ll act as though it is true. Send a message to the Emperor of Donggao, saying that the payment he promised for treating his illness is due now—within three days, I want Western Chu’s soldiers to retreat from the sixteen states of Yanyun. As for other matters, send a message to our Marquis; he knows what to do.”
“Yes, my lord,” Zhao Chong replied excitedly, his eyes alight.
The sixteen states of Yanyun originally belonged to Beiyuan Kingdom.
More than a decade ago, when Nanyue launched a major offensive at Nanling, General Qi Yunzhang led the troops to resist. But subsequently, some incidents occurred.
Although Nanling was preserved, Qi Yunzhang fell in battle, and Western Chu took the opportunity to deploy troops and capture the sixteen states of Yanyun.
For the subsequent seven or eight years, Beiyuan lacked a distinguished General capable of recapturing that territory.
Later, Zhao Xiyan burst onto the scene and, after a battle with Donggao, became famous throughout the land.
At that time, many old officials submitted memorials suggesting that Zhao Xiyan lead troops to retake the sixteen states of Yanyun.
But a few days later, Zhao Xiyan suffered a fall from his horse…
If they were to be recovered now, nearly half of Beiyuan Kingdom’s territory would fall into the hands of our own Marquis.
By then, with the natural barrier of the sixteen states of Yan and Yun in the west at hand, and the support of the vast and expansive Longnan County Government and Dengzhou along the southeast line, wouldn’t the entire Central Plains bow down to us?
Just thinking about it, Zhao Chong wanted to jump up and shout three times!!!
The eyes of Qingzhu, Zhao Tai, and the others were all shining with excitement as they bowed in respect!
“The master is brilliant!”
Qi Yue just waved her hand indifferently and continued to give orders, “At the same time, send a message to Qin Zhongqi and tell him one thing…”
“What thing?” Zhao Chong hurriedly took out his notebook.
“If he wants the people to live in peace and happiness, he will have to exchange them for the royal family of Western Chu.”
“Understood.” Zhao Chong hurriedly recorded every word, “Master, that fellow is very strange, should we send someone to scare him a bit?”
Qi Yue narrowed her eyes.
Indeed, this Qin Zhongqi is quite peculiar.
Despite his young age, he had a clear dichotomy.
She saw it clearly that day. In front of the royal family members like Qin Zhongyu, he showed a tricky and slippery side, but later, when he bid farewell to Qi Yue, he changed his demeanor.
— Noble, with an air of integrity!
Although she was impressed by the sincerity expressed by Qin Zhongqi, she knew she still had to be on guard.
After all, the biggest obstacle to capturing the sixteen states of Yan and Yun was, in fact, Qin Zhongyu.
If Qin Zhongqi couldn’t even handle this, then she had to question whether trusting him was right or wrong!
“No need, he saw the airplane that day; he should understand a lot of things now. Our people just need to keep an eye on his actions.”
“Yes, master.”
After arranging everything, the conversation returned to the present.
Knowing that Shen Gong indeed hadn’t made any moves other than visiting the Liu Family, Qi Yue chuckled with a snort.
“I suppose Chief Liu wouldn’t let slip the fact that I’m a woman disguised as a man; otherwise, things wouldn’t be so quiet.”
Shen Gong had been monitoring her in Longnan County Government for so long, he must have done his homework and probably even had a portrait. It wouldn’t be hard for him to figure out it was her.
But that was exactly the effect she wanted, to leave the old man peering through a layer of paper without being able to see or understand clearly.
“Zhao Chong, tell your master to create the illusion that I have already returned to Longnan County Government. Let’s have a good game with Shen Gong.”
Hearing this, Zhao Chong immediately smiled.
“Master, the Marquis has already done that. Shen Gong should have received the news on the day he returned to the city!”
Qi Yue immediately realized why Shen Gong had been so quiet after arriving in Fengdu!
She gave a big mental thumbs up to Zhao Xiyan!
Truly the man she had her eye on!
So reliable!
Such great teamwork!
“Good,” Qi Yue said with a smile all over her face, “tomorrow I can visit Chief Liu openly and aboveboard.”
The moment they heard this, Qingzhu and the others immediately perked up.
“The master is also going to pay a birthday visit? Under what pretext? Wei Yixiao might go too, right?”
Qi Yue smiled slightly.
“I have already thought about it.”
Seeing Qingzhu and the others with puzzled faces, Qi Yue couldn’t help but shake her fan with a sense of pride.
“Let me ask you, after the incident at the bookshop, did Wei Yixiao and the Wei Family cause any trouble for Liu Zhinan?”
Qingzhu and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.
“According to our information, it seems… not?!”
“That’s exactly right!” Qi Yue stopped fanning herself and played with the fan in her hand, “This shows that Chief Liu is with the Emperor of Nanyue, while the Wei Family… hmph… is nothing but a fickle dog…”
She paused for a moment, then continued, “Only, this dog is too clever for its own good, knowing how to read the room…”
Qingzhu and the others were wide-eyed, looking at each other, all puzzled.
Her words were so cryptic, they couldn’t understand a thing!
“Master, do these matters have something to do with the strategy you want?”

“Of course, they have everything to do with it!”
Qi Yue held the folding fan confidently and tapped her palm with it.
“Just you wait and see! I’ll show you how I stir up a storm in Fengdu!!!”
