Su Xiaoxue is already twenty-three years old this year. Her parents, brothers, and friends were persuading her to find a marriage partner a few years ago.

The girl herself is not in a hurry.

In her opinion, if you find someone you don’t like, it would be better to be alone after decades of depression.

So at the beginning, when I met Liu Mingqi, the empress dowager said that she wanted to be Liu Mingqi's concubine, but she firmly refused.

At that time, she knew that Liu Mingqi was a man with great talent and a very smart man.

But these advantages do not mean that he is a good husband.

The scholar said here that in fact, most of the great men in the world are not good fathers.

Because if their spirit is used on children, it is basically impossible to manage national affairs and create great achievements. Almost every emperor and great man from ancient times to the present is like this.

Su Xiaoxue doesn't like looking at the surface like this. She likes to be together for a long time and understands it better before she draws a conclusion.

Speaking of opening up the West's trade route, Su Xiaoxue's eyes turned and asked, "Your Highness, can I follow you home today and see your Mrs. Chen?"

"OK."

Liu Mingqi nodded, "Xiaowei's favorite is her knowledgeable friend. You are not a fool, she must like it."

Su Xiaoxue rolled her eyes again, thinking that's the case where you said that?

I want this girl to marry you?

What a foolish goose!

Of course, she was still not angry.

There are so many men who treat her sweet words, and there are not a thousand or eight hundred.

But it is the first one who is as straightforward as Liu Mingqi and does not regard her as the number one beauty in Jiangnan.

To put it bluntly, from the first meeting, Su Xiaoxue felt that Liu Mingqi didn't seem to have any special feelings for her.

As you can see from the words of the two, Liu Mingqi simply regarded her as an ordinary friend.

Except for occasionally appreciating her cuteness, she did not take her peerless face to heart most of the time.

This feeling made Su Xiaoxue feel very awkward, but when she got along with Liu Mingqi, she felt very relaxed and comfortable. It didn’t matter if she talked casually and bragged each other.

Deep down, this is the case with Su Xiaoxue's failure to agree to marry Liu Mingqi.

How can a man who is not obsessed with himself very much and regards himself as a friend he can get to know is his husband?

But after being in contact for a long time, Su Xiaoxue felt that this man was not interested in him, but that he was always with everyone, and he would not be treated preferentially just because he was the number one beauty in Jiangnan.

It's like...

It's like he has a diaphragm in his heart. He doesn't like to take the initiative and doesn't say he likes it.

At that time, Su Xiaoxue thought that the boy was a Lu man.

But when he turned around, he took the previous Jiangnan No. 1 beauty as his concubine, which made Su Xiaoxue quite stunned.

If this is the case alone, that would be fine.

This shows that Liu Mingqi actually likes beautiful women in private, but she doesn't like her very proud girls like Su Xiaoxue.

It was said that Chen Xiaowei posted it himself, so Liu Mingqi accepted her, which means that Liu Mingqi liked girls who took the initiative toward him.

In this case, Su Xiaoxue felt that Liu Mingqi had a huge gap with him. Their behavior and ideas were different, so they would not be able to get together.

This is why Su Xiaoxue has not contacted Liu Mingqi since the end of last year, but has returned to Jiangnan.

What's the result?

Su Xiaoxue was slapped in the face.

From actively promoting the army at the end of last year to preparing for war this year, Chen Xiaowei swept across hundreds of pirates from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, not only strangled more than 30,000 pirates in one go, but also captured more than 8,000 for his own use.

In the last battle of this year, Chen Xiaowei directly encircled and suppressed the giant bandit Sea Dragon King among the pirates.

In just less than a day, the Dragon King Castle, which the Sea Dragon King claimed to be "can never be broken", was broken.

The Dragon King of Sea himself was chopped off his head and his body was hung at the highest point of the Dragon King Castle, warning people later.

When Chen Xiaowei returned to Jiangnan, countless dignitaries, maritime traders, and heroes from the world all went to Taizhou to congratulate her.

Su Xiaoxue also went with her father, and that scene is unforgettable for life.

It is said that there are already countless sea trade merchants, sailors who run for sea trade, etc., erect tablets for her at home and worship them every day.

It was hard for her to imagine how an unknown woman could make such a big splash.

Later, I heard Su Feng's explanation that Chen Xiaowei's success today is in addition to her outstanding abilities, Liu Mingqi's support is also indispensable.

Liu Mingqi supported all her funds so that she could buy the best ships and hire the best sailors and captains.

But none of these are the most critical.

The most important thing is that on the one hand, Liu Mingqi directly supplied three magical tools, namely wooden grenade, hell cocktail and steel knife, which crushed all the opponents in terms of equipment.

On the other hand, he sent out all his bodyguards who could move, a total of 51 people, to help Chen Xiaowei control the fleet.

These fifty-one people were amazing. They were the warriors who followed Liu Mingqi from Fujian to Jiangnan, and then went to Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City, surviving countless life and death disasters.

Once these people take action and get a fleet, they will be extremely useless.

Moreover, they have the deepest understanding of these advanced artifacts, and can easily teach new people how to use them and quickly form combat power.

In addition, Liu Mingqi also won Chen Xiaowei a thousand soldiers who fought against Japanese pirates in Jiangnan, as well as three thousand Yiwu soldiers recruited, and two thousand young people among his hired workers in the capital.

Facts have also proved how excellent these people are. They pushed them straight along the way, and countless so-called fierce pirates were beaten to pieces and had no power to fight back at all.

It's lucky to be able to escape.

The first thing Chen Xiaowei did to catch the pirates was to take the "public arrest and public sentencing meeting" on the spot, asking the pirates to report on their own, and directly kill those who were guilty of being extremely guilty.

The head was so hot that the sea water was rolling and the ground was red.

But the pirates are not the kind of group that "if you want to kill me, I will fight you desperately."

After dozens of massacres of Chen Xiaowei, they completely collapsed, either surrendering or running away.

But Chen Xiaowei never changed her attitude. She also arrested and sentenced her to public after surrendering. She killed the most evil people, and released the remaining disabled people back, and was incorporated into her team without any illness or pain.

Then I told them that if they could make meritorious service, they would not only join the Chen family fleet, but also own their own land and household registration in Taizhou Prefecture and become the upright Chen family.

Now the pirates are more enthusiastic about killing pirates than the Chen family guards. Not only do they become leaders along the way, they also helped Chen Xiaowei eliminate all the pirates and make the entire clearance work smoothly.

It can be said that in the end, Chen Xiaowei was able to clean up the pirates on the coast so readily, and these pirates who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light made great contributions.

Finally, Su Feng told Su Xiaoxue that many of Chen Xiaowei's plans and strategies were planned by Liu Mingqi and her.

So look at it, the combination of Liu Mingqi and Chen Xiaowei is not a model where men love beauty and women seek vanity.

They are united and focused on cleaning up the pirates!

After understanding this, Su Xiaoxue felt guilty about her previous superficiality and ignorance.

It happened that there was something important to do when she entered Beijing this time, so she volunteered to come and find Liu Mingqi.

...

After returning from his thoughts, Su Xiaoxue and Liu Mingqi were already riding a horse, slowly descending from the hillside and walking onto the grass.

"Your Highness, you have tried so much to fight pirates just for your grand navigation plan, right?" the girl asked in a pretty voice.

"right."

Liu Mingqi nodded, "If the team has not been tempered, going west of the Strait of Malacca to fight the ships of those Westerners, it is tantamount to delivering vegetables. Therefore, they must have enough practical experience to persevere in the subsequent battles until the final victory."

Su Xiaoxue keenly captured the meaning of Liu Mingqi's words, "According to your words, Western ships are much more powerful than us?"

"It should be like this now. I dare not say it is very strong, but it must be a little stronger than us." Liu Mingqi said: "It's just that they are still conquering cities and land in Kushan, and secondly, there are several countries in the Strait of Malacca to guard them, and their fleets cannot be exerted, so they will not enter on a large scale for the time being."

"So if you go and fight with them, it will definitely be very dangerous?" Su Xiaoxue asked again.

"That's true." Liu Mingqi said: "But this is an unsolvable problem. If you don't want to fight, then when they develop enough, they will come and fight Dakang directly. At that time, why can the backward Dakang navy stop them? Just because they can't even stop the Japanese pirates?

So we must take the initiative to go out and fight with them constantly to make progress, so as to strive to reach their doorstep as soon as possible, and sell our products to the whole world! At that time, we can go out and see the scenery."

Su Xiaoxue smiled with a pursed lips and said, "I have no interest in the Russians you mentioned. They all look like evil spirits. What's the good thing about it?"

That's the best thing for you, sister, don't understand European and American hot girls!

Nicole Kidman, Monica Bellucci, Eva Green, Miranda Kerr, Sister Widow, Wonder Woman, Princess Mera...

Tsk tsk!

These are pretty good!

Of course, the European and American actresses we see in reality have been carefully selected, and their skin and appearance have been expensively maintained and repaired to achieve the effect of inverting all living beings.

If they are competing for bare faces, they are definitely not as charming as those innocent young girls here.
