Chapter 1360 Spreading Rumors and Sowing Discord
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have kept indulging Granny Liu." Qin Xiaomi had to take responsibility for this body since she had used it.
Therefore, she had to take good care of her grandparents, and in order to make them happy, she would tolerate the existence of someone like Granny Qin.
If Granny Qin knew what she was thinking, she would definitely rush back and scold her: You brat, is this all I am in your eyes? I am your elder, you should be showing me some respect!
"Ah, Jiajia hug!" Qin Eryong's little Yunping saw Qin Xiaomi and fluttered around wanting a hug... He was persistent in wanting a hug.
Little Fu Bao said, "We still can't hold them; we need to take precautions against the plague."
Oh?
Xiao Yunping didn't understand and continued to reach out to Qin Xiaomi for a hug.
"Little Fu Bao is right, I still can't hug you. Let's wait until next year. I'll definitely be able to hug you next year."
Whether we win or lose, live or die, there will be a result next year. Regardless of victory or defeat, life or death, we will get together again before we die.
Then we can let go of all our worries and hug each other tightly.
"Woo woo!" Little Lu Bao howled twice, attracting everyone's attention before stopping and looking at Qin Xiaomi and the others with his big eyes.
Uncle Qin whispered, "Hiss, it seems there aren't any honest kids in the Xu family this generation, haha."
Grandpa Qin pinched me hard.
Uncle Qin cried out in protest: "Father, I didn't mean anything bad by saying this. On the contrary, I was praising the Xu family's treasures. Being dishonest means being smart and adaptable. Being smart and adaptable means you can live a good life."
Then, pointing at Qin Xiaomi and the others, he said, "You children from both the Qin and Jiang families are not allowed to be honest kids!"
"Sanjun, come and meet your family," Jiang Dalang called out.
Xu Sanjun also entered the city. Upon hearing this, he came over. After being disinfected twice with medicinal liquid, he removed his hood from a distance of a few meters, revealing his face, and said to the Xu and Qiao families, "Mother, Aunt Qiao, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, Fubao, Lubao, I'm back! I've returned after making a contribution!"
"Pine Congee, congratulations on your marriage..."
The Xu and Qiao families are close. With Songguo getting married, the Xu family won't have to worry about the Qiao family anymore, and the Xu family can live a more relaxed life.
"Waaah, Third Uncle, Third Uncle..." Little Fu Bao was stunned for a moment after hearing Xu Sanjun's voice and knowing that her third uncle had returned alive, before bursting into tears.
After another round of rambling and conversation, the farewells for the second half of the event finally came to an end.
"Alright, everyone go back to your lodgings and get some rest. There's a big meeting waiting for us at the entrance of Wuyuan Garden tomorrow." With that, the small gathering finally came to an end.
"Xiao Mi, it's rare for Da Lang to come back, say a few words to him... Let's leave for now!" Uncle Qin was determined to do something stupid, so he hurriedly hid behind the Prince of Ye to avoid being beaten by his niece.
The Prince of Ye, Grandpa Qin, and Madam Guan cooperated by stepping back several meters to leave the area to them.
Awkward. Uncle Qin looked at the two of them, who were not saying a word, and felt embarrassed for them. He scratched his head anxiously and asked, "How did it turn out like this?"
Fortunately, Qin Xiaomi's voice came soon after... It was hard to hear clearly, but at least she was speaking.
"Good, good, good! There's progress. I'm so happy for the two younger ones." Uncle Qin almost clapped in celebration.
However, Jiang Dalang felt bitter because Su Su had only talked to him about fighting the enemy on the battlefield.
Jiang Dalang answered very seriously.
Qin Xiaomi remained silent after hearing this, then asked, "Did General Liang or the Duke of Yan give you any historical records about Wei and Dongmo? Or complete maps? Especially ancient complete maps of the two countries before the Dayong Dynasty?"
Jiang Dalang, having been an emperor, understood immediately, but he asked skillfully, "Why is Xiao Mi asking this? Have you discovered anything?" He then replied, "The books in the palace and those of powerful families are different from those in the common people. When the Duke of Yan came to the Northeast, he brought a batch of books and maps about the Eastern Desert, but the complete map I saw is almost the same as the one we have now."
"Almost? Is the border between the two countries always defined by Dingmangtai? Which dynasty is the full map you saw from? Wei-Jin-Yong? Or something before Yong?" Qin Xiaomi pressed.
Jiang Dalang: "From the Yong Dynasty."
Tsk tsk, Qin Xiaomi curled her lips in disgust: "That map might be fake. The Yong Dynasty respects aristocratic families and recommends officials based on their reputation. Some people write fake books to flatter the Yong Dynasty in order to gain fame, like the book that says taro is poisonous and that eating it will kill people."
"The Yong Dynasty also experienced being trampled by foreign enemies. In order to save face, the officials and noble families of the Yong Dynasty would definitely destroy and drastically alter books."
Burning books was a basic practice in feudal dynasties.
She looked at Jiang Dalang and said, "We need to find ancient history books and ancient maps from before the Yong Dynasty, since the people of the eastern part of Dongmo look almost exactly the same as our Wei people, definitely the same race."
Jiang Dalang feigned surprise: "Xiao Mi, are you saying... before the Yong Dynasty, the eastern part of the Eastern Desert might have belonged to us?"
Qin Xiaomi nodded and said with certainty, "Otherwise what? If the various tribes of the Eastern Desert were truly of the same race and origin, could their appearances be so different? Could their treatment be so different? Would you treat your own people as enemies and trample on them?"
"From what you've said about the various tribes of the Eastern Desert driving the people of the East, that's completely abnormal. No one would treat their own people like that."
“Xiao Mi is right. I’ll send someone out of the city tomorrow to ask Deputy General Lang if General Liang has any ancient history books or ancient maps from before the Yong Dynasty.” Jiang Dalang said, “Xiao Mi, you should also ask Old Madam Guan. She has many treasures; she might have some ancient books and ancient maps hidden away.”
Qin Xiaomi: "Okay, let's split up and find out the truth as soon as possible."
Shall we split up?
Jiang Dalang/Sheng Ting was overjoyed, his whole body radiating happiness: Su Su was willing to fight alongside him, a major breakthrough, that's great.
Okay my foot! Stop making things up, okay?
Qin Xiaomi thought for a moment and then said, "Time is too tight. We can't wait for the truth. We have to spread the rumors first... Say that the tribes of Dongmo are abusing the people of Dongmo because the people of Dongmo are originally Wei people. That's why the tribes of Dongmo treat the people of Dongmo like enemies."
"In war, the key is to wear down the enemy. So regardless of whether this is a rumor or the truth, we have only one goal: to plunge the Eastern Desert into chaos and infighting!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dalang felt a surge of heat in his blood, the burning desire to defeat the enemy: "Xiao Mi's plan is excellent, let's do it this way."
"Then stop dawdling and go tell your uncle and the others to issue a royal decree for your Wei army to carry out. Let's get this plan to disrupt the Eastern Desert going." Qin Xiaomi called to him and headed towards the King of Ye.
The elders were startled and quickly lowered their heads to cover up their secret spying on the younger generation's relationship.
They didn't talk about cultivating a relationship at all; they were only talking about serious matters.
"Uncle..." Qin Xiaomi told Jiang Dalang about the things they had discussed.
Upon hearing this, everyone was both surprised and overjoyed. They disregarded whether the younger generation's relationship had progressed and hurriedly said, "Uncle, we'll make the arrangements right away."
"Chief Wei of the Imperial Guard, immediately go to the register offices of all the major government offices in the city and search for ancient history books and complete ancient maps..."
"Angel Qi went to the library in the Wu Garden to investigate..."
"Grandmother, in your dowry... Madam Sun's dowry... and did Mr. Qiong have any such ancient books and ancient maps?!"
After the King of Ye gave a series of instructions, everyone got busy.
When Mr. Qiong returned after dinner, he heard about this and exclaimed, "What a brilliant plan to sow discord! Immediately spread this rumor, no, the truth, throughout the capital city... In case there are still descendants of spies in the city, this rumor can shatter their loyalty!"
He slapped his forehead again, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "I don't have such ancient history books or ancient maps, but I've heard a rumor... that the master has the secrets of the universe, both ancient and modern."
