~~~~~~

It's like an invisible, intangible, but real hurricane~.

This time, Li Yuanqing's attack on the spy stronghold on the island came and went even faster!

As soon as the sky lit up the next day, the entire world was covered with a layer of light white, solemn and holy, as if nothing had happened.

Although Wenxiang Nephrite was in his arms, Li Yuanqing got up early in the morning before it was dark, and patiently waited for the report of Shang Laoliu and Housekeeper Ma in the living room of the other courtyard.

Li Yuanqing was not kept waiting for long. Soon, Shang Laoliu and Butler Ma rushed over to report on their work.

Although they had not slept all night, Shang Laoliu and Housekeeper Ma were in extremely high spirits.

Shang Laoliu laughed and said: "Yuanqing, we have achieved a complete victory in this offensive. Last night, a total of nearly 300 spies of various types were captured. More than a dozen strongholds were destroyed. However, most of them were from the imperial court.

, Liaoxi, and double-faced spies who are biased towards Hou Jin. As for the intelligence on Hou Jin’s strongholds, we have more and more information. I’m afraid that it won’t take ten days, but the truth will come to light.”

Butler Ma also smiled and said: "Commander, this time, we are only targeting those strongholds that are more outspoken and have been spreading rumors in Sanji. Those with deep roots, we already have a lot of information, but we are not in a hurry to act rashly.

"

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Brother Shang, Master Ma, thank you for your hard work. Well... let's take these people into custody first. You go back and have a good rest first. We will discuss the specific matters in the afternoon."

Of course Shang Laoliu and Housekeeper Ma understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and reported some specific details to Li Yuanqing before leaving with a smile.

Watching the two people leave, Li Yuanqing came to the window, opened it, lit a cigar, and looked at the white world outside the window.

Espionage activities are like flies and mosquitoes. Although it is extremely unpleasant to people, Li Yuanqing also understands that it is impossible to completely eradicate this kind of thing.

Instead of committing reckless crimes, creating white terror on the island, and making people panic, it is obviously better to take advantage of the situation and let them follow Li Yuanqing's wishes and pass on the information that Li Yuanqing wants to express to their master.

Especially in this situation, the stability of the island is more important than anything else.

Li Yuanqing also understood very well that there were undoubtedly a lot more espionage activities on Changsheng Island than on Phi Island.

This is actually determined by the roots.

The land of Pi Island is more like a "planned economy", with a carrot and a pit. Although the population is large, it is basically imprisoned in a certain place and within a very narrow range. It is very easy for Mao Wenlong to control it.

But~~, Changsheng Island is very different.

Because of Li Yuanqing's enlightened business policies, Changsheng Island has a large immigrant population, tens of thousands of people, and it is still increasing.

These foreign populations continue to add vitality to Changsheng Island and create wealth. At the same time, they also bring some bad things and influences.

But comparatively speaking, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

With the experience of later generations, Li Yuanqing understood very well that only by opening, opening, and opening again, constantly absorbing fresh nutrients from the outside, and constantly forcing oneself to become stronger can there be living water, and only then can we grow normally and healthily.

On the contrary, if you work behind closed doors, you are destined to have a bitter fruit: 'If you fall behind, you will be beaten!'

If we use an analogy, at this time, the entire Changsheng Island is like a strong, tiger-headed boy who is desperately trying to absorb various nutrients. In this process, because he is growing too fast,

, some minor colds and minor fevers are also inevitable.

This is also the price that must be paid for growth.

At this time, the snow outside the window has stopped. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, bringing with it the slightest trace of snow foam.

Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

This day this year was really too bad. Even places like Changsheng Island had only two miserable light snowfalls in the whole winter.

One can imagine what the scale is in inland areas.

It's ridiculous that Emperor Chongzhen and the big shots in the imperial court were fixated on Li Yuanqing's painful feet, unaware that the entire situation was beginning to spiral out of control.

But to a certain extent, Li Yuanqing actually...actually understood Emperor Chongzhen's difficulties...

Emperor Chongzhen’s choice at this time cannot be said to be wrong...

From his perspective, he, Li Yuanqing, is indeed a much bigger target and much more dangerous than Gao Yingxiang's gang of thugs in the northwest...

However~, Changsheng Island is his Li Yuanqing’s foundation and the foundation for his Li Yuanqing to settle down and live in this world. It is definitely not that easy to want Li Yuanqing to hand over his foundation like this!

At this time, Qi Xiaorong's heart-stopping cry came from the inner room: "Brother, brother..."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile and strode towards the inner room.

When he really tasted it, Li Yuanqing discovered that underneath Qi Xiaorong's originally hot exterior, she was more delicate than ordinary Ming women.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer? You got up so early?"

Qi Xiaorong was about to get up with her white and attractive body naked, but Li Yuanqing smiled and covered her with a warm quilt. His eyes couldn't stop looking at the tempting inside covered by the quilt.

Qi Xiaorong's pretty face turned red, she was ashamed and happy, and she felt sweet in Li Yuanqing's arms. She said with some horror: "Brother, the slave family, the slave family thought, you, you don't want the slave family anymore..."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "What are you thinking about in your little head? How can my brother refuse such a delicious dessert?"

Qi Xiaorong's pretty face turned even redder. She couldn't help but lean into Li Yuanqing's ear and whispered in a low voice: "Brother, but, the Nu family hasn't taken a bath yet..."

Li Yuanqing burst out laughing: "Now, I am not in a hurry to eat. I will eat when I return home in the evening..."

The two played around for a while, and the air began to get uncontrollably hot again.

Qi Xiaorong is already in her early twenties and looks like a ripe peach. In addition, her physique is very good, so Li Yuanqing naturally does not need to be too affectionate.

After another high-intensity 'morning exercise', Li Yuanqing smiled and played with the delicate plumpness of Qi Xiaorong's chest, lying on the bed that was warm and comfortable and filled with the unique fragrance of Qi Xiaorong, and said with a smile: "Rong'er."

, you rest here for a while first. I will have someone bring you breakfast. Wait, the second lady will come over and tell you in detail about the night's visit. You must pay more attention. Do you understand? "

Qi Xiaorong quickly nodded obediently, "Brother, Rong'er will definitely do a good job."

…………

Warehouse No. 3 is only separated from Li Yuanqing's official hall by a wall.

Of course, only Li Yuanqing can use this door, and no one else has this qualification.

After returning to the official hall, after breakfast and arranging the maid to inform Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu about Qi Xiaorong, Li Yuanqing returned to his inner study to rest.

Not long after, soldiers outside reported: "Commander, Eunuch Wei is here."

Li Yuanqing put down the documents in his hand, stretched out and said, "Let Eunuch Wei take a rest for a while, I will be there soon."

"yes."

After asking Xiao He, who was serving today, to help him tidy up his appearance, Li Yuanqing strode to the outer study room not far next door.

Wei Liang had been waiting for a while and hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully, "I have seen the commander-in-chief."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Wei Gong, you are so polite. There is no need for this between us. By the way, Wei Gong, how have you gained during this time?"

Xiao He came over delicately and offered tea. Wei Liang hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully, but said with a sad face: "Commander, the situation is not optimistic. The Za family went to the capital and stayed for more than two months.

A lot of connections have been made and a lot of money has been spent, but the result... Hey. Marshal, I am afraid that the Emperor has already made up his mind this time. We must be fully prepared."

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "What does Wang Gonggong mean?"

Wei Liang hurriedly said: "Commander, what the prince means is...you, you must obey the imperial court's dispatch. This is the most critical core."

Li Yuanqing slowly took a sip of the fragrant tea and nodded slowly, "I know about this matter. I will reply to the court as soon as possible. Wei Gong, what about other aspects? Is there any valuable news?"

…………

After chatting with Wei Liang for more than an hour, it was already lunch time. Li Yuanqing accompanied Wei Liang to have lunch again to calm his mood, and then Wei Liang respectfully said goodbye and left.

Returning to the inner study, leaning on the most familiar tiger leather sofa, Li Yuanqing rubbed his temples tiredly.

People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.

Looking at this look, Emperor Chongzhen made it clear that he wanted to fight Li Yuanqing to the end!

After resting for a while, he asked Xiaohe to bring him pen and ink, and Li Yuanqing wrote a note to Emperor Chongzhen in his own handwriting.

In the excerpt, Li Yuanqing made it clear that he, Li Yuanqing, was a general of the Ming Dynasty and a minister of the emperor. He should obey the emperor's orders and orders in all matters.

However, affairs in Liaonan were complicated at this time, and he needed some handover time.

The booklet was written with a brush. Although the handwriting was not pretty, Li Yuanqing wrote it very neatly. He asked Xiaohe to carefully dry the ink. Li Yuanqing directly ordered his soldiers to expedite the eight hundred miles and send it to the capital as quickly as possible.

It's just that, although this trick can be used as a delaying measure, it is still impossible to truly solve the problem.

If he wants to maintain the rules and regulations in Liaonan at this time, he has no choice but to resort to dangerous tactics...

He slapped Xiao He on the tiger-skin sofa and had a good time talking. Then he let her step on his back for a while and rested for a while. Li Yuanqing asked Xiao He to help him tidy up and went to the outer study room.

Recruited Yang Lei.

At this time, the notice to the emperor has been sent out, and the "long tongue" in Changsheng Island has basically been eliminated. It is also time for Li Yuanqing to disclose the news that he has returned to the island!

Yang Lei went to do this himself, and Li Yuanqing called his own soldiers and ordered Shang Laoliu and Ma Guanjia to go directly to the Nanxinkou military camp and meet in the dungeon where the spies were detained.

Li Yuanqing went to Nanxinkou Camp first, where Li Sansheng's troops were stationed. He had to have a good chat with Li Sansheng who had been stationed in Gaizhou first...
