Even Chen Xi even learned that Jiang Liwei and Zhang Yanling had been involved in the matter, but she returned to the capital, that before that, Zhang Yanling had sold the drawings through specific channels.

Chen Xi never expected that Zhang Yanling would be so bold that he would use Japanese pirates to cultivate his own power, seriously threatening the peace of the Ming Dynasty's sea border, and also conflicting with Chen Xi's strategy of opening the sea.

"...Sir, it has been found out now that Jiang Li is the only one who is operating in the southeast coast. The Flang Jimen also sent several boats to help. They even planned to build their own ships. They should be trying to build a well-trained heater unit. Once it is formed, the local troops are no match for them at all..."

Yunliu reported seriously that a lot of news has lagged relatively behind.

Chen Xi was not very concerned about these things before. He never specifically told Yun Liu to pay attention to this situation. Naturally, Yun Liu could not send someone to watch them at any time.

After Yunliu told the matter almost the same, when she looked at Chen Xi again, Chen Xi was flirting with her eyebrows and thinking, looking distressed.

Chen Xi's performance made Yunliu somewhat unexpected.

In her mind, Chen Xi could easily solve problems at any time, and there would be no such situation in front of her that seemed completely clueless.

After a long time, Chen Xi said, "What are the movements in the Nanjing Guarding Office?"

This problem stumped Yunliu because she did not pay attention to the situation in Nanjing. After all, Japanese pirates usually move on the beach, and at most they only go deep into the coastline for dozens of miles, which is very far from Nanjing. Even if the Japanese pirates are rampant, they will not be able to approach a political center city like Nanjing.

"The humble position has not been found." Yun Liu told the truth.

Chen Xi once said that the most important thing in intelligence collection is to seek truth from facts, so Yun Liu would not forcibly fabricate situations that she didn't know.

Chen Xidao: "Your Majesty's response is to dispatch troops from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong to suppress the rebellion, but in fact, the only one who can truly threaten the Japanese pirates is the forty-nine guards controlled by Nanjing. If there is no movement in Nanjing, it can be seen that in the future, local governments will still mainly focus on avoiding war, and the people will encounter big trouble."

Yun Liu didn't say anything because she had thought of what Chen Xi said. The court's focus now on the war in the Central Plains and had no energy to deal with the Japanese pirates.

Unless Chen Xi can take the lead in battle personally, the situation in Jiangnan will not be solved in a short period of time.

Chen Xi said again: "I don't want to lead troops to battle for the time being. I finally have peace for a few days and can leave everything behind to take care of my body... Do you want me to live on the battlefield for the rest of my life?"

Yunliu asked for instructions: "Sir, why don't you send Lord Hu to quell the rebellion?"

Chen Xidao: "Hu Lian is now leading his troops to fight on the Central Plains battlefield and cannot pull away for the time being. If he dispatches Wang Shouren to go, on the one hand, it will be too long to reach, and on the other hand, there will be too many processes to go. After the court approves the daylily, it will be cold, but if he doesn't do anything... Then I, the Minister of War, will be too irresponsible!"

"What is needed now is to solve the problem from the source. If some non-war means can be used to dismantle the Japanese pirates' power, it would be better."

"Please show me, sir." Yun Liu said.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and said, "You and Xier took people to Jiangnan to thoroughly understand the local information and follow my instructions."

...

...

Chen Xi had no intention of letting Yunliu and Xier go to the south, but things happened very suddenly, and he had to let his two trusted subordinates go.

In Shen Xi's view, Yunliu and Xier can quickly transmit information and execute his orders without any discount. Sending others to them will always feel uncontrollable. After all, officials will have selfish intentions and will not obey his orders in everything.

Yunliu and Xier can help him get things done.

Then Chen Xi went to see Ma Lian.

This meeting was because Chen Xi felt that he had neglected the feelings of the jade man because he had not seen each other for many days. In addition, he wanted to transfer Ma Ang to Jiangnan to work, and his brother and sister felt that it was necessary to come.

For Ma Lian, he didn't have to care about worldly prejudices at all, and did whatever he wanted.

Ma Lian's admiration for him is more like a fan or idol, a kind of effort that he can give and get great satisfaction in his body and mind.

Ma Lian was overjoyed by Chen Xi's arrival and immediately went to the kitchen to arrange for the servants to make some side dishes, then served with fine wine. When Chen Xi had a drink, she performed a sword dance in front of the table.

Ma Lian was very serious and his movements were definitely not a fancy air. The silver light whirred as he waved. Chen Xi was even thinking about something, if the jade man in front of him wanted to assassinate him, would he have the ability to resist?

As he thought about it, Chen Xi was a little distracted. It was not until Ma Lian stopped and returned to his side that he realized that the wine in the glass had poured out.

"Do you think I'm not good at sword skills?" Ma Lian cared about Chen Xi's opinion and couldn't wait to ask after sitting down.

Chen Xi nodded and praised: "It's great."

Even though she knew that Chen Xi might be perfunctory, Ma Lian still smiled knowingly, as if this was exactly the answer she wanted. She hoped to be recognized by her lover, and no one else could give her such satisfaction except Chen Xi.

Ma Lian filled Chenxi with wine again and said, "When the master is not here, I have been practicing and dare not slacken. However, I always feel nervous when performing in front of the master. Some places just now have not been perfect... Maybe this place is too small and some of them cannot be used."

"It's already very good, at least I didn't see anything that is not smooth or not beautiful." Chen Xi comforted.

Ma Lian smiled: "But if someone is proficient in swordsmanship, he may not be able to compare his slave. After staying here for a long time, he found that if he doesn't exercise every day, his body will easily become tired. Maybe the master has raised the slave. I don't care as much as before, and I feel that my personality has become much more peaceful."

At the end of the story, Ma Lian frowned slightly, looking pitiful.

Chen Xidao: "There is nothing wrong with being generous. I have been traveling all year round. I wish I could sleep until I wake up naturally. I could do whatever I want every day. Even if I sit alone in a daze, no one would blame me..."

"It sounds good, but it may not be as good as I imagined..."

Ma Lian sighed with a sigh, "The women in this world probably envy my life, but I am not satisfied with it. If I were lazy and had no ability, maybe the master would not come."

Speaking of this, Ma Lian looked at Chen Xi, as if she cared about Chen Xi's attitude, because all her rise and fall, honor and disgrace were associated with Chen Xi.
