Chapter 969: Through Wind and Rain, the Smoke and Waves are Dangerous; Ambition First Unfolds, the Guest Road is Difficult

The captain did not deceive Zhu Yiluo; the fleet brushed the edge of the storm and escaped the danger zone.

The Great Ming was very familiar with this sea area. In this season, as long as one did not lose their way, there would not be too much danger.

Moreover, even if they accidentally stepped into the storm, the fast sailing ships were wrapped in copper skin, which was excellent in terms of wave resistance, speed, and structural sturdiness. The flagship Zhu Yiluo was on would not be in any danger.

Zhu Yiluo noticed that this time, heading to the Golden Mountain State, the Great Ming Emperor had dispatched three star-gazing ships to accompany them, and one of the star-gazing ships was arrayed beside the flagship.

In other words, even if they lost their way in the storm and the boundless sea fog, the star-gazing ships could still bring Zhu Yiluo's flagship back to the Great Ming or to the Golden Mountain State.

Zhu Yiluo was very intelligent and immediately realized that this was protection—protection from his Imperial Brother who anticipated the enemy with leniency.

In the Prince of Lu's mind, his Imperial Brother had always prioritized state affairs. This trip to the Golden Mountain State was probably the most serious instance of the Emperor using his power for personal gain.

"We caught a rather special Japanese slave." Chief Secretary Meng Jinquan reported the situation in a low voice.

This Japanese slave had been escorted to the flagship, which was completely controlled by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the naval elite. This special Japanese slave was captured on a horse ship, and after several days of interrogation, his identity was confirmed.

The reason for the arrest was simple: this Japanese slave was preaching to other Japanese slaves on the ship and was reported.

"A fanatic of the Extreme Bliss Sect. After castrating himself, he escaped the review of the Nagasaki Viceroy's Office. This time, he mixed in with the ships heading to the Golden Mountain State to preach in the Golden Mountain State." Meng Jinquan told Zhu Yiluo about the arrest.

After Zhu Yiluo interrogated him personally, he ordered the fanatic to be chopped into eight pieces and sunk into the sea.

This was the first time Zhu Yiluo had personally come into contact with a Japanese Extreme Bliss Sect member, and a fanatic at that.

He never expected these fanatics to be so crazy. In the fanatic's delirious words, the "other shore" they yearned for was no longer the Great Ming of the Pure Land of Extreme Bliss.

Of course, the Great Ming still held a supreme position in the doctrine of the Extreme Bliss Sect, but the "other shore" of the Extreme Bliss Sect had become a completely nihilistic world without right or wrong, good or evil, beauty or ugliness, morality.

In this absolute vacuum, completely nihilistic world, there was nothing but the self.

According to the various delirious words of the fanatic, even the Great Ming owed the Extreme Bliss Sect—that is, the Great Ming Emperor owed the Extreme Bliss Sect.

The rights and wrongs here were very complicated, but the logic was roughly: the Extreme Bliss Sect members yearned for the Great Ming, but the Great Ming closed its doors to them.

This change in doctrine was news that the Great Ming had not noticed, which was why this fanatic bypassed layers of review and appeared on the ship.

Zhu Yiluo found it difficult to understand this madness, and even unable to describe it accurately, so he could only choose to kill them. And based on the newly discovered situation, he conducted a secondary review of all Japanese slaves on the fleet, screening out all Extreme Bliss Sect members and sinking them into the sea.

In Zhu Yiluo's view, this Extreme Bliss Sect had been distorted to an extreme.

A person is the sum of social relations. If parents, family, children, and friends—such intimate relationships—are unimportant, then a person has no social relations, and thus is not a person.

Moreover, the doctrine of the Extreme Bliss Sect always avoids one question: exchange.

People need to use their surplus production to exchange for the surplus production of others. This exchange becomes the cornerstone of social relations.

In the Prince of Lu's view, the doctrine of the Extreme Bliss Sect is full of sophistry and cannot fundamentally explain this problem.

In the eyes of the Extreme Bliss Sect members, everyone else in the world owes them, and everyone should become their worshippers, offering everything they have to atone for their sins.

The doctrine of the Extreme Bliss Sect is very strange. They presuppose a natural position that others are guilty. Based on this position, they use various illusory reasons, and even list crimes for people they have no relationship with, forcing them to atone.

According to the basic theory that social relations are based on exchange, Zhu Yiluo believes that he is guilty. Relying on his relationship with his Imperial Brother, he has been extravagant for so many years, so he must use his status to repay all the preferential treatment he has received.

The Prince of Lu, the younger brother most loved by the Emperor, believes that this is truly fair.

Even though sailing at sea these days carries considerable danger, he still summoned the courage to embark on the journey.

All meat-eaters who exploit others are guilty, and exploitation has caused all the tragedies in this world.

But if a meat-eater is willing to use their power to make some changes for this terrible world, then they are an object that can be united, and can be seen as a process of self-redemption.

This is the conclusion Zhu Yiluo reached by using the concept of religion to understand class theory, according to Lin Fucheng's masterpiece "Religious Alienation."

But according to the doctrine of the Extreme Bliss Sect, the whole world owes Zhu Yiluo! Zhu Yiluo could not say such a guilty word no matter what; the world of the Great Ming never owed him, Zhu Yiluo, anything.

The fleet continued to move forward. Zhu Yiluo liked to stand on the deck, staring blankly at the boundless ocean, thinking about all kinds of problems.

From the moment he boarded the ship, he was no longer a child hiding under the arms of his mother and Imperial Brother, but the ruler of the Golden Mountain State.

After drawing four "zheng" characters, Zhu Yiluo became silent. He was always very quiet, unwilling to talk to others. Many times, he would shrink into the corner of the room, eating only one meal a day.

Zhu Yiluo missed home a little.

This was not a shameful thing, but he could not tell others. As a ruler, no matter how much he missed home, this kind of emotion, similar to weakness, should not appear on him.

He went from the nine heavens with extremely rich material to the ship with extremely poor material. This transition was very dramatic.

In the past, he didn't worry about food or clothing. Now, every bite was unsatisfactory. He couldn't eat his favorite food. Most of it was cold food, either too salty to swallow or too sweet, making his throat hurt. Even the water he drank had a strong smell of wine and fishiness, making him want to vomit after a few sips.

There weren't even beauties from ten thousand countries.

Before he set off, Chief Secretary Meng Jinquan advised him that as a natural noble, he would definitely not be able to adapt to such a life.

The facts were indeed so. Zhu Yiluo had some emotions: missing home, regret, and confusion about his future.

After drawing the fifth "zheng" character, Zhu Yiluo walked out of these weak emotions and began to fish. Sea fishing was a troublesome thing. He didn't catch a single fish. The coastal defense inspector Shui Shangfei even intended to go into the sea to hook them.

What the Prince of Lu pursued was not catching fish, but the process of fishing. He just wanted to find something to do, so as not to fall into endless self-doubt.

Everyone had something to do, only he was idle. The sailors were very hard-working every day, only he, this prince, only needed to ensure his own safety.

When the sixth "zheng" character was drawn, Zhu Yiluo finally caught his first fish. After catching the first fish, he stopped fishing and chose the bed crossbow.

Fishing rods and the like were too troublesome. He had had enough of these red tapes!

Bed crossbow, activate!

The bed crossbow was simply too easy to use. Zhu Yiluo caught a big fish that day, a tuna that appeared on the route.

"Why can't I eat sashimi?" Zhu Yiluo was a little angry. He had seen other sailors eat sashimi, but Chief Secretary Meng Jinquan did not allow him to eat it.

"Eating fish sashimi will cause worms in your stomach." Meng Jinquan said in a low voice: "Sea fish also have them, Your Highness. The Academy of Dissection discovered that the parasites of sea fish can also parasitize humans."

The Academy of Dissection found 11 types of parasites on tuna, among which several types can parasitize the human body, such as a parasite called gastric nematode, which will reside in the human body. Although it will not eventually mature, it will cause stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and many other symptoms.

"Forget it, it must be cooked." Zhu Yiluo shuddered when he heard this and chose to eat cooked food.

When he was young, Zhu Yiluo liked to play with dirt. After playing, he didn't wash his hands and stuffed them into his mouth. Later, he had a stomachache all the time, couldn't sleep all night, and cried and made a scene. Empress Dowager Li had to let the imperial physician use medicine. Li Shizhen chose arsenic to kill the worms, and Zhu Yiluo pulled out a worm three feet long.

Since then, Zhu Yiluo changed color at the mention of worms. He really wanted to taste the freshness of sashimi, but considering the problem of worms, he chose to eat cooked ones.

On the day the seventh "zheng" character was drawn, the fleet replenished fresh water on a small island. This small island was named Relay Island, meaning a place for the Great Ming to relay supplies to Golden Shancheng. The ships stayed for one day. Zhu Yiluo walked around on the island. As soon as he landed, he had severe dizziness.

After being on the ship for a long time, the seasickness eased, but landing made him feel dizzy.

Zhu Yiluo's mood was very complex. He shouted and screamed on the beach for a long time, ran a few steps, and then sat on the beach, looking at the huge fleet on the sea.

To formulate a great ocean exploration plan, without the support of a collective called the state, it is difficult to achieve. Whether it is Columbus or Magellan, they all had the support of the Spanish royal family, and even the strong support of the Portuguese Maritime Academy.

All free adventure fleets in the West were also state actions, at least until the Wanli period.

There is no doubt that if this fiefdom voyage is smooth, the Great Ming's opening of the seas will take a very critical step. He, Zhu Yiluo, is not a witness of history, not a participant of history, but a creator of history.

No matter how thick the history books are in the future, he will firmly occupy a place and become a topic that cannot be bypassed in this magnificent era.

Zhu Yiluo stood up abruptly, found a chisel used by a stonemason, and carved on a large stone: "Zhu Yiluo, Prince of Lu of the Great Ming, visited here, 14th day of the third month of the 18th year of Wanli." After carving, he chiseled it deeper with force. This was his true handwriting.

As for whether it could remain and leave a good name for a hundred generations, Zhu Yiluo actually didn't care. The act of carving these words was more important to him; it meant that he had been here.

Before the ninth character was drawn, Zhu Yiluo saw a series of islands floating on the sea like pearls. These islands were all uninhabited. At the suggestion of Chief Secretary Meng Jinquan, Zhu Yiluo named one of the islands Golden Spring Island.

Meng Jinquan did not oppose this naming, because His Highness the Prince of Lu's original intention was that gold was like a spring, continuous and endless.

For this island chain that was thousands of miles long like a chain, Zhu Yiluo was full of curiosity. Most of these islands were formed by volcanic activity, the rocks were hard, the coastline was somewhat steep, and not all islands were suitable for landing.

Because of the voyage, Zhu Yiluo did not mess around and ask to land for fun.

Before the tenth "zheng" character was drawn, the fleet encountered a storm again. This time, the huge fleet had three three-masted galleons and three battle-seat ships, lost in the boundless ocean. The possibility of them surviving was almost zero.

Zhu Yiluo deeply realized why ocean voyages in this era were called gambling with one's life.

When the twelfth "zheng" character was drawn, the captain told Zhu Yiluo that Golden Shancheng was about to arrive, and there was about a three-day voyage left. The sixty-three-day sea journey was about to end.

Zhu Yiluo was very expectant of the upcoming fiefdom moment. His understanding of Golden Shancheng was through the miscellaneous newspapers of Songjiang Prefecture and the experiences of sailors.

Because the water and heat were not in the same period, it was warm in winter and cool in summer. The lowest temperature in winter was 10 degrees, and it would not freeze. The highest temperature in summer was less than 30 degrees.

The reason why the early pioneers chose this place was that it was surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. It was a mountain city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was convenient to escape. Moreover, inside the Golden Gate Strait, there was a bay for large ships to take shelter and anchor.

On the afternoon of the 19th day of the fourth month of the 19th year of Wanli, Zhu Yiluo finally saw Golden Shancheng in his telescope.

A lonely small city with a circumference of less than ten li stood quietly in the mountainous area, looking extremely desolate. There were many fields and some camps around the small city, and several dirt roads stretched to the seaside.

There were fourteen piers by the sea, and these piers together constituted Golden Mountain Port.

Very dilapidated, this was his fief.

Less than four thousand Han people, plus more than twenty thousand slaves, and less than four hundred thousand mu of fields—this was all the wealth of the Golden Mountain State.

Golden Mountain Earl Quan Tianpei saw the Prince of Lu's ships and the group dragon flag hanging on the fleet. The sea behemoth like a fast sailing ship could only be built by the Great Ming. Appearing ten at once meant that His Highness the Prince of Lu had come to his fief.

Quan Tianpei immediately ordered all the people and slaves in the city to go to the pier to welcome His Highness the Prince of Lu. Although simple, Quan Tianpei still built a Welcome Grace Gate and a Welcome Grace Hall at Pier 8.

Quan Tianpei knew nothing about the Prince of Lu, limited to the title of "troublemaker." Quan Tianpei urgently hoped that the Prince of Lu could come to Golden Shancheng, because he really couldn't hold on anymore.

Golden Shancheng was too far, too far from the Great Ming, and spanned the entire East Pacific. The thirty-thousand-mile water journey made the Han people willing to come here very few. Without the endorsement of the imperial court, Golden Shancheng was like a flame that could go out at any time.

No matter what kind of personality the Prince of Lu had, Quan Tianpei had to endure it, and he had to serve this master well and comfortably.

Zhu Yiluo walked down the stairs of the ship and walked to the pier, stomping his feet hard to relieve his dizziness, before walking toward the crowd waiting on the pier.

"Pay respects to the Prince of Lu, Your Highness." Quan Tianpei led everyone to kneel and welcome Zhu Yiluo to his fief. He knew nothing about etiquette. Although he looked through the "Fiefdom Rituals," the conditions in Golden Shancheng were limited.

"Exempt from ritual." Zhu Yiluo stood still, looking at the somewhat simple Welcome Grace Gate. At least he could be sure that Golden Shancheng welcomed him.

Every time a Great Ming prince goes to his fief, for various reasons, he is not welcomed by the local people. After all, every prince's fiefdom represents a large amount of land to be allocated to the Prince's mansion. If the local official land is not enough, it will harass the people.

The Prince of Lu refused to go to the hinterland of the Great Ming, and there was this reason. He was already supported by the common people, and he was hated by the common people, which could be said to be a crime on top of a crime.

"Imperial Brother told me that if it is not a slave system, it is not easy to expand. Seeing Golden Shancheng today, Imperial Brother was right." Zhu Yiluo said to Quan Tianpei.

Quan Tianpei's face immediately relaxed. He was most worried that this prince living in the sky from the capital would have too many moral burdens, which would be unfavorable to the expansion of Golden Shancheng. But as soon as the Prince of Lu opened his mouth, Quan Tianpei immediately understood that this Highness had not been turned into a fool by these principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust.

On the contrary, His Highness was quite pragmatic.

Logging, reclaiming wasteland, water conservancy, building bridges, building roads, building city camps—all required laborers and slaves. How much could the Han people who crossed the ocean do?

"Welcome the royal banner." Quan Tianpei shouted again.

Three Embroidered Uniform Guards carried three flags off the ship. The first was the group dragon flag symbolizing imperial power; the second was the royal banner symbolizing the Prince of Lu, a large "Lu" character flag; the third was the Seven-Star Flag, which was the sea flag of the Great Ming, representing that the Golden Mountain State was an overseas fief of the Great Ming.

There were also the Prince of Lu's carriage, throne, and other items, which were also unloaded from the ship. This was the Prince of Lu's royal carriage, which naturally had to arrive in the Golden Mountain State with the Prince of Lu.

Three large flags were carried into Golden Shancheng by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. The Prince of Lu led Quan Tianpei, Meng Jinquan, and others into Golden Shancheng.

As soon as he entered the city, the Prince of Lu's eyes lit up. This mountain city was actually much more prosperous than he thought!

On both sides of a main street three zhang wide, there were various shops, the most numerous of which were naturally gold and silver banks, rice, flour, grain, oil, wine, firewood, brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, all of which were sold.

Four thousand people in the hinterland of the Great Ming could not even be counted as a township. Zhu Yiluo had already prepared to suffer for forty years to completely build Golden Shancheng, but the continuous brick and tile houses told Zhu Yiluo that this place was not as poor as he thought.

"It produces gold, and gold can buy a lot of goods." Quan Tianpei explained in a low voice why the inside and outside of the city were so different. There were too few Han people, and he had already tried his best to make it like this.

Zhu Yiluo walked into the Prince of Lu's mansion. This Prince of Lu's mansion was in the center of Golden Shancheng. The location was very good, covering more than eighty mu, but the buildings and pavilions were very ordinary, far less luxurious than the Prince of Lu's mansion in the capital.

But this already made Zhu Yiluo very satisfied. After all, his expectations were not high to begin with.

Quan Tianpei, a person very good at management.

After Zhu Yiluo sat down, he said to Quan Tianpei: "I have just arrived. Golden Mountain Earl, everything in the city should remain as it is."

"Your Highness, I have a few urgent matters here that need Your Highness's disposal." Quan Tianpei took out several memorials, handed them to Zhu Yiluo, and asked Zhu Yiluo for instructions.

Zhu Yiluo frowned. Logically speaking, he had just arrived, so he should rest for a few days. How could he handle official business as soon as he came up? Was this giving him a slap in the face as soon as he landed?

"Golden Mountain Earl's life is a bit miserable." After reading the memorials, Zhu Yiluo understood that he had misunderstood Golden Mountain Earl.

Golden Mountain Earl did not dare to give the Prince of Lu a slap in the face. The Prince of Lu had three thousand troops under his command, enough to kill through Golden Shancheng and sweep it three times.

It was completely that the Prince of Lu did not go to his fief, and Golden Shancheng was about to break up. Golden Mountain Earl's situation was quite difficult.

"I was soft-hearted for a moment, but it became today's predicament. It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away." Quan Tianpei's face was a bit bitter. Speaking of which, it was all an old matter from four years ago, the 15th year of Wanli.

A group of sea pirates who fled from Japan to the Golden Mountain State came to Golden Shancheng. Seeing that the leaders were all Han people, Quan Tianpei accepted them.

In the four years of expansion, more than eight hundred sea pirates became the Golden Mountain tooth soldiers, attacking everywhere.

Now, these sea pirates, led by the leader Xie Ruixiang, were becoming more and more restless. In the city, they set up private taxes, took goods without permission, framed good people, collected bad rules, killed people, and robbed goods, regardless of human life, etc. Quan Tianpei had less than four hundred people in his hands, and he really could not restrain this Xie Ruixiang.

Recently, Xie Ruixiang had even set his sights on gold, demanding that Golden Shancheng must share thirty percent of the gold with him, otherwise he would go crazy!

Simply put, the most capable group of people in the city opposed Quan Tianpei and even intended to kill him and replace him.

"Did this Xie Ruixiang come to the pier to welcome me today?" Zhu Yiluo sat up straight, his momentum changed, and cold light appeared in his eyes.

Chief Secretary Meng Jinquan immediately said: "He did not come to the pier to welcome you."

Meng Jinquan was one of the few Chief Secretaries with a successful candidate background. He went to the Prince of Lu's mansion intending to enter the Censorate from the Chief Secretary. Chief Secretaries monitor the princes, and entering the Censorate is a promotion channel.

The Prince of Lu was going to his fief, and Meng Jinquan wanted to be the Prime Minister of the Golden Mountain State. The Prince of Lu was going to his fief in the hinterland of the Great Ming, and Meng Jinquan had been promoted to the Censorate last year.

When Meng Jinquan was at the pier, he was already suspicious. This Golden Shancheng was not peaceful, and the armed forces were only four hundred people?

"He did not." Quan Tianpei's face was even more bitter, and he said in a low voice.

Zhu Yiluo took a deep breath and said: "That's simple. This Xie Ruixiang is probably already colluding with the barbarians and the red-haired barbarians."

"Hmm?" Quan Tianpei was stunned, and then broke into a cold sweat. He said blankly: "That can't be, right? Doesn't he want gold? If he colludes with the barbarians, how can he get the gold?"

"Golden Shancheng can have today, he has at least half the credit. If he destroys Golden Shancheng, what good is it for him?"

Zhu Yiluo thought that Quan Tianpei was acting. After all, Zhu Yiluo had followed his Imperial Brother to listen to government, and when he was supervising the country in the 13th year of Wanli, he encountered all old actors, and his whole body was full of acting skills.

Zhu Yiluo looked at Meng Jinquan, who shook his head. This Quan Tianpei was not acting, because in this Golden Shancheng, Meng Jinquan did not see Quan Tianpei have any precautions against the tooth soldier leader Xie Ruixiang.

Meng Jinquan judged that either Quan Tianpei was a natural old actor with excellent acting skills and left a backup plan, or he was really soft-hearted.

"Forget it, just catch him and ask. Let Commander Luo take action. Those who resist will be treated as rebellion and killed without mercy." Zhu Yiluo did not explain in detail, took out the fire card, and let Luo Shangzhi take action.

Luo Shangzhi was from Yu Yao, Zhejiang, born as a hereditary battalion commander. In the 13th year of Wanli, he entered the court to resist the Japanese and served as the Assistant Regional Commander of the Yang Wei Regiment of the Navy. He was one of the twenty-eight stars of the Eastern Expedition heroes. He had the Western Louhu Star bestowed by the Emperor and was a proper naval general.

Luo Shangzhi came to the Golden Mountain State with Zhu Yiluo this time to train for the navy's ocean deployment.

"The end general obeys the order." Luo Shangzhi bowed to take the order, mobilized a thousand naval troops, and went straight to Xie Ruixiang's lair.

Zhu Yiluo waited for less than half an hour, and Xie Ruixiang was caught by Luo Shangzhi and brought to the Prince of Lu's mansion.

"Golden Mountain Earl, the person has been caught. He did not come to the pier to welcome me, which is already a great disrespect. I thought he didn't want gold, but your life. Let's interrogate him face to face and see if I was right." Zhu Yiluo was quite interested.

Making a bet, losing didn't matter, winning, this first fire of the fiefdom could be considered hot.

"Bah!" Xie Ruixiang spat hard, looked at Quan Tianpei and said: "Quan Tianpei, I fought hard, and this Golden Shancheng was built. You, on the other hand, ran back to the Great Ming and mixed up a Golden Mountain Earl! This pioneering count should have been mine!"

"The Golden Mountain Earl should have been mine! Mine! Without me, could there be today's Golden Shancheng!"

Xie Ruixiang was not a person who could hide things in his heart. After being caught by the naval elite, knowing that there was no hope of turning the tables, he knelt on the ground, looking at Quan Tianpei with eyes splitting, eyes red, wishing he could kill Quan Tianpei.

"At the beginning, I asked you to return to the hinterland of the Great Ming to receive the reward. You said you had a criminal record in the Great Ming and didn't want to go back, saying you were willing to watch the house, and let me return to the Great Ming. Now you blame me for grabbing the count position?" Quan Tianpei's eyes widened, unable to believe it.

Quan Tianpei never expected that it was not because of gold, but because of the title!

Xie Ruixiang was a sea pirate. It would be good if he didn't get arrested when he returned to the Great Ming. Still want to receive a reward?

"If I had known there was a title reward, would it have been your turn?" Xie Ruixiang struggled hard twice, couldn't break free from the Embroidered Uniform Guards' restraint, and then spat a mouthful of phlegm angrily, spitting on Quan Tianpei's shoes.

Xie Ruixiang dreamed of having a decent identity, not a sea pirate.

"I, I, I..." Quan Tianpei was speechless for a while, and finally sighed and flicked his sleeves.

Zhu Yiluo was right. This Xie Ruixiang had hatred in his heart, and the hatred had accumulated for a long time, reaching the point where he wanted to kill the other party.

"Take him down, investigate and supplement, then behead him." Zhu Yiluo looked at Xie Ruixiang, deliberated slightly, didn't play any balance, and directly beheaded him.

Quan Tianpei was startled when he heard the Prince of Lu pronounce the beheading, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, can you be lenient? Xie Ruixiang has quite a reputation in Golden Shancheng. Beheading him so easily will probably cause unrest."

"You don't have to worry about the unrest of the people. I have my own way." Zhu Yiluo waved his hand. He was the initiator of the public trial system. How to make the people stable, he had his own way. He looked at Xie Ruixiang and said: "Xie Ruixiang, don't be unconvinced. I ask you, today I came to the fief of Golden Mountain, why didn't you come to the pier to welcome me?"

"I didn't see it!" Xie Ruixiang said with a stiff neck: "Today I was caught by you, kill or cut as you please!"

"Good, tough!" Zhu Yiluo was not annoyed, said to Quan Tianpei: "After the investigation is supplemented, you will naturally understand. Take him down."

Zhu Yiluo did not kill people for no reason. This Xie Ruixiang's collusion with barbarians and red-haired barbarians was probably already at the time of launching. Gold was very attractive to the Great Ming and the West.

The investigation lasted less than two hours. Before Zhu Yiluo and Quan Tianpei finished talking, it was investigated clearly. Xie Ruixiang colluded with the Mexico Viceroy's Office to seek Golden Shancheng. Human evidence, material evidence, and book evidence were ironclad, and there was also a blood alliance book.

"Your Highness, how did you judge it?" Quan Tianpei was blank. He didn't notice these things in Golden Shancheng. Zhu Yiluo had just arrived for a while, and he judged it so accurately!

Zhu Yiluo was quite calm and said: "Nothing, Xie Ruixiang couldn't take Golden Shancheng without external force, couldn't kill you, otherwise he would have done it long ago. So, he could only seek external force. Golden Mountain Earl was just confused by the situation, and I was a bystander who was clear."

Zhu Yiluo suddenly felt that the people and things he came into contact with on weekdays, especially the struggle books he read, were really useful for judging the situation!

Judging from Quan Tianpei's memorials, the conflict between Quan Tianpei and Xie Ruixiang had intensified to an irreconcilable point, especially Xie Ruixiang was becoming more and more rampant, even ordering his subordinates to kill people regardless of human life. Xie Ruixiang no longer cared about the life and death of the Golden Mountain people.

When the conflict intensified to such a point, the struggle to destroy each other would unfold. ===== CHAPTER 970 =====
