Qi Yue thought for a moment and immediately rejected several people's requests.

"I think Qingzhu's guess should be true, otherwise Shen Gong would not return to Nanyue at this time. In this case, we should not go back, but should go to Nanyue as originally planned."

"Why?" Zhao Chong was puzzled.

"There are two reasons," Qi Yue rubbed the tea cup in her hand, her eyes serious, "First, we cannot allow the four countries to truly form an alliance, which is not good for us. Second, once Beiyuan and Donggao have taken action, Nanyue will never wait for an opportunity. Loss. Attacked by three parties, your Marquis will be attacked from both sides...Although we still have some things to use, but..."

But what, Qi Yue didn't say, but Zhao Chong and others knew it well.

Zhao Xiyan is more conservative than ordinary people in his attitude towards the use of lethal weapons.

In his opinion, people will die in the event of a war, but unilateral massacre is against the law of heaven.

The cycle of cause and effect may repay itself.

The most important thing is that the weapons of destruction come from Qi Yue.

And Qi Yue's appearance was too bizarre.

This made Zhao Xiyan, who already hated the battlefield and was not enough to kill, think more.

It can be said that Zhao Xiyan will not use the lethal weapons left by Qi Yue on a large scale unless it is absolutely necessary and extremely dangerous.

After a moment of silence, Qingzhu spoke first.

"So, the master means to prevent the Nanyue Army's next move?"

"Yes," Qi Yue nodded, "We can do a lot of things if we stay, don't you want to make it easier for your Marquis?"

Zhao Chong and the other three looked at each other with hesitant expressions.

"But the Marquis said that your safety, Master, is the most important thing. If you encounter Mr. Shen..."

"As long as Qingzhu is here, it doesn't matter, Mr. Shen. If the worst happens, I'll run away. Besides, I'm not someone to be trifled with... The best in the world? Humph, I want to see it too..."

Qi Yue stood up with a sneer and slowly walked around the hall twice, a confident smile gradually appeared on her lips. .

"The most important thing now is to inquire about the relevant situation and make further plans. Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai obey the order!"

"Yes, my subordinate is here." Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai immediately took a step forward.

"Zhao Chong, I want you to command the Black Feather Guards and be responsible for contacting all parties for information and ensuring that the information is delivered in a timely and rapid manner."

"Yes."

"Zhao Tai, I want you to pay close attention to all the movements of the Liu family. Once you arrive in Fengdu, Nanyue, I want to know everything about the more than 100 members of the Liu family, especially Liu Zhinan, the Minister of Household Affairs."

"Yes."

Zhao Tai and Zhao Chong took their orders and left, while Qingzhu stayed at the inn and was responsible for protecting Qi Yue.

Early the next morning, Qi Yue got up early. As soon as she finished packing, Qing Zhu came to report that Shen Zikuang had entered the city.

"Master, do you want to arrange to stay in an inn?"

"Let's make other arrangements. Aren't there three other people from the Liu family?"

"Yes."

Not long after, Shen Zikuang entered the inn, and Qi Yue took Qingzhu to meet at another arranged place.

After not seeing each other for a year, Shen Zikuang has lost a lot of weight. Although he doesn't look so rich, he has a bit more domineering temperament.

"Shen Zikuang, the chief steward of Qi's Pharmaceuticals, has met his master."

While Qi Yue was looking at it, Shen Zikuang had already lifted up his robe and knelt down.

"Get up..." Qi Yue hurriedly stepped forward and supported the person, "Although you are the chief steward, you are the master of Qi's Pharmaceuticals. Don't pay such a big courtesy in the future."

Shen Zikuang looked excited and shook his head repeatedly.

"Without a master, I, Shen Zikuang, would have turned into a pile of mud. As long as I have a master, I will never dare to falsely claim to be the master of Qi's Pharmaceuticals!"

"Okay, don't be so nervous," Qi Yue laughed, "I heard that you made the people who made fake medicines miserable..."

A hint of coldness flashed between Shen Zikuang's brows.

"Anyone who opposes Qi's Pharmaceuticals will have a hard time with me, Shen Ziguang. What's more, those who make counterfeit medicines are using the master's name to make profits. They are doing great harm to others and must not be let go!"

Qi Yue nodded repeatedly and asked the person to sit down in the hall.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Shen Zikuang introduced the two people he brought.

They were the two shopkeepers that Qi Yue had previously entrusted Shen Zikuang to train and hone, and planned to use them after the new pharmaceutical factory opened.

Qi Yue asked people to take them to Rishengchang, and when it was time to deliver the letter, they were sent directly to Longnan County in a hot air balloon.

After dealing with these minor matters, Qi Yuecai changed places again and talked in detail about the reason why Shen Zijiang came over.

Knowing that Qi Yue wanted to establish a relationship with the Liu family through the pharmaceutical business and gain a deeper understanding of the Nanyue Dynasty, Shen Zikuang couldn't help but worry about her boldness.

"Master, I am just a businessman. I don't understand the affairs of the government, but as long as the master says, I will do it."

Seeing Shen Zikuang's desperate expression, Qi Yue was also a little amused.

"Butler Shen is thinking too much. I'm calling you here this time to do only one thing."

"whats the matter?"

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes and recounted the current large-scale increase in taxes in major cities in Nanyue to repay the imperial treasury.

"This thing is a bit weird. I suspect there is someone else who is really controlling the Liu family behind the scenes. I want you to take advantage of the opportunity of doing business to pay attention to the whereabouts of the Liu family's funds. Maybe you will make other discoveries."

"Yes, then I understand," Shen Zikuang nodded repeatedly, "I will pay attention. As long as we become a community of interests with the Liu family, I won't worry about not being able to find out anything."

Qi Yue once again told the story of getting to know the Liu family's guards.

"There is a fat man among the three. His mother is from the Liu family's old lady, so he should be able to talk. The other one with the beard, I always feel that he is hiding some of his strength. Please pay attention to it."

"Yes, don't worry, Master." Shen Zikuang agreed, "Now that the pharmaceutical factory has expanded its production, I have long wanted to establish a relationship with the businessmen in Nanyue. With Master's arrangement, it will be absolutely foolproof."

Qi Yue shook her head.

"This Liu family is different from ordinary merchants. After all, Lin Zhinan is the Minister of the Nanyue Household Department. The imperial court has deep influence. You must handle it carefully."

"Yes, Master." Shen Zijing responded, ensuring that nothing would go wrong.

In the evening, Beard and the other three finally arrived at Jimo City.

Qi Yue changed into women's clothes and led the three of them to meet Shen Zikuang. She then pretended that she had to go back to Dongjiang first for something and could not go to Fengdu with them.

This was what Qi Yue had agreed with Shen Zikuang early in the morning. The troops were divided into two groups and went to Nanyue one after another.

Beard and the other three people didn't know the key, and they all felt deeply regretful.

"Don't worry, girl. When Butler Shen returns from his work, we will definitely prepare Fengdu's specialties."

"Then thank you three big brothers!" Qi Yue agreed with a smile.

Afterwards, they exchanged pleasantries for a while before parting ways.

Qi Yue took Qingzhu back to the inn where she was staying, planning to pack up and leave Jimo and go straight to Fengdu.

As soon as I entered the door, the innkeeper greeted me and talked to me.

"Two distinguished guests, someone was looking for them. I saw that she was quite anxious, so I was led to the backyard."

"Is someone looking for you? Who is it?" Qi Yue looked at Qingzhu, "Do you know anyone here?"

Qingzhu also looked puzzled.

"No."

"Who could that be?"

The two of them looked at each other, confused for a moment.

Who else would come to Jimo City?

Rishengchang has always been in secret contact!

"Go and have a look."

Qi Yue said, taking the lead to go to the backyard where he lived.

From a distance, I saw a figure leaning under the courtyard gate, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

"Master, why is she here?"

"You go up to greet them first and bring them to the hall."

"Yes."

Qi Yue went back to the house to change into men's clothes, secretly wondering in her heart.

Not only did she save Li Dalang that day, but she also left money for their family. Why did Granny Li find this place?

Furthermore, their group's foothold was not revealed at the beginning.

There are so many inns in Jimo City, but Grandma Li can find them accurately. This ability is really great.
