Chapter 1048 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (one hundred and seventy)
Qiqi first showed a panoramic view of an island. You can see the flag of Dazhao flying on the island. From far to near, you can see some people with shackles on their hands and feet. The dejection on these people's faces is in sharp contrast to the joy of the officers and soldiers.
From the conversation between those soldiers, we know that Xiaoqi is dead on the big pirate ship.
The scene stopped at the entrance of the cave behind the pirates. It was heavily guarded, with many soldiers moving boxes. Wei Ying just came out of the cave.
Qingli was in a good mood. It seemed that Wei Ying had won again and had already attacked the pirates' lair.
"Qiqi, quickly tell me how Wei Ying found Zhou Shang Xiaoqi's lair? Pirate hideouts are always secretive, hard to find, and even harder to attack. Did he first let Zhou Shang Xiaoqi down his guard before launching a surprise attack? If we attack head-on, Zhou Shang Xiaoqi might be defeated and run away."
"Yes, you guessed it right! Let me explain in detail."
"Okay, I'm listening."
She cracked melon seeds and listened to Qiqi's detailed explanation.
It turns out that's what happened.
Zhou Shang Xiaoqi originally planned to wait for Wei Ying to leave and then come back to massacre Haicheng County. How could Wei Ying not know his intentions?
Wei Ying then destroyed the pirate strongholds in the coastal villages one by one, and then led the navy on patrols at sea for several days, eliminating small groups of pirates. On the surface, he returned to the capital at the order of the emperor, but in fact he had a hidden agenda.
"Two days ago, your cousin Shen Mingxu led officials from Haicheng County to host a banquet to see off Wei Ying and his entourage.
As Wei Ying's army left Haicheng County in a mighty procession, Xiaoqi, aboard the ship, sent someone to gather information. Upon confirming that Wei Ying had left Haicheng County, he was overjoyed and drank three jars of strong liquor. Even Whale Shark Island erupted in jubilation. The pirates were eager to take revenge at the first opportunity.
However, just as Xiaoqi, aboard Zhoushang, was drunk and fast asleep, Wei Ying and his elite troops quietly arrived at Whale Shark Island. They infiltrated the island silently under cover of darkness and stormed the pirate lair. Wei Ying fought his way to Xiaoqi's house. He perished in his sleep, without even uttering a single scream.
She sighed, "His death was quite unfortunate. Wei Ying was so quick. But with Wei Ying's martial arts skills, it would have been difficult for Zhou Shang Xiaoqi to detect someone approaching him while drunk. By the time he opened his eyes, the head had already fallen to the ground. But Wei Ying didn't even need to ask Zhou Shang Xiaoqi about the location and access to his treasure vault. He seemed very confident."
"Of course, because he had already planted spies among the pirates, and some of them became Zhou Shang Xiaoqi's confidants. He had all the information he needed to know. Zhou Shang Xiaoqi was no longer valuable, so he died so quickly.
The area surrounding Whale Shark Island had long been tightly sealed by Wei Ying's army, leaving the pirates with nowhere to escape. The ten leaders of Xiaoqi on the boat were all killed in the fierce battle, and the remaining pirates, seeing the situation was hopeless, surrendered one after another.
When Qingli turned on the live projection screen, what came into view were pieces of glittering golden jewels, colorful gems, and mountains of various treasures.
The dazzling light seemed to penetrate the screen and strike people's hearts, making people marvel. Such a huge amount of wealth is enough to be worth half of the national treasury!
However, these treasures do not belong to her or Wei Ying after all. They will all be confiscated and put into the national treasury.
Qingli felt sorry for a moment, then regained her composure. She couldn't keep making money from pirates.
In the image, Wei Ying stands in the treasure vault, solemnly ordering his soldiers to count the treasure. Though his face wears a trace of fatigue, his eyes reveal a hint of joy. This is undoubtedly a day of great victory, and Wei Ying finally breaks into a long-lost smile.
"General, Xiaoqi on the boat is dead, and those pirates have been captured by us. Now the people of Haicheng County can finally live a peaceful life." A deputy general said respectfully.
Wei Ying held a green jade bracelet in his hand, stroking it gently for a moment, and then put it down casually.
He said, "Let's not talk about the long term, but at least in the next few years, the people of Haicheng County can live in peace, and Fuchen Kingdom will be unlikely to stir up any more trouble. We can finally return to the capital to report."
Wei Ying looked up at the blue sky and then looked towards the capital.
Looking at Wei Ying's handsome face, Qingli turned off the projection contentedly and it was time for a nap!
Lying on the soft and comfortable big bed, she closed her eyes happily. This leisurely life is so comfortable!
