The serious Jinyiwei was still very efficient. After only three days, Zhang Ran came to see Zhu Yicheng and reported the results.

"Wang Yousan died in Jiujiang?" Zhu Yicheng was slightly lost for a moment when he heard that Wang Yousan had died in battle. Although he had not been very happy with Wang Yousan, he remembered Wang Yousan's face as soon as he closed his eyes.

He was escorted to Hangzhou that year. On the way, Wang Yousan led his men to kill the escorted Qing army and rescued himself. Although Wang Yousan's original intention was not to save himself, in this matter, Wang Yousan can be regarded as his savior.

Also, when he woke up and appeared in front of him, the ugly face that almost laughed like a flower, and the voice of him calling him as a young master in his ear seemed to be vivid in his mind. Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but sigh. Wang Yousan was Yuan Qi's confidant general, and he was the number one general in the rebel army back then. He had a straightforward personality, was fierce in war and did not fear death, but now he was dead in Jiujiang.

"Where is Gao Jin? Where is he?" When it comes to Wang Yousan, we have to say that Gao Jin was almost Yuan Qi's second general. Compared with Wang Yousan, Gao Jin, who is usually taciturn, is valued by Yuan Qi, and Yuan Qi suffered several times of danger and was defeated by Gao Jin to escape.

Zhu Yicheng has always admired Gao Jin, but it’s a pity that Gao Jin is loyal to Yuan Qi. This time, let Zhang Ran find out the situation of Yuan’s troops as soon as possible. Zhu Yicheng is more concerned about Gao Jin’s whereabouts. If Yuan Qi is dead, then Gao Jin will have no filial loyalty. For Zhu Yicheng, it is a great opportunity to recruit this person.

In Zhu Yicheng's view, a Gao Jin is far more important than the leaders of Yuan Qi's divisions combined, which is enough to show his importance to Gao Jin. If Gao Jin can be recruited to his subordinates, Zhu Yicheng will definitely reuse this person.

"Go back to the emperor, Gao Jin was the one who gathered the defeated soldiers in Jiangxia to fight against the Qing army." Zhang Ran replied carefully.

"Gao Jin is in Jiangxia? No wonder, no wonder!" After hearing this answer, Zhu Yicheng suddenly realized. No wonder he had previously felt strange, why the Yuan army in Jiangxia had a scale of 10,000 people, and could confront the Qing army that had the advantage. Although there was Zhu Jiancai's factor, after Yuan Qi's defeat in Jiujiang, the Yuan army had become frightened birds. Coupled with the rebellion of Zhou Zhongliang and others, it was normal for the Yuan army to be easily wiped out by the Qing army in panic. How could it spontaneously continue to resist in Jiangxia?

Since Gao Jin was in Jiangxia, this makes sense. With Gao Jin's status and ability in Yuan's army, he was the unscrupulous second-in-command. With Gao Jin, Jiangxia's rebel army had the backbone, and Gao Jin also had the ability to continue to deal with the Qing army with the remnants of defeated soldiers.

"Since Gao Jin is in Jiangxia, then Yuan Qi is in Jiangxia too? Or is he already..."

"Return to the emperor, Yuan Qi's whereabouts have not been found yet, but all the signs show that Yuan Qi is almost dead." Zhang Ran said uneasy. When he spoke, he secretly looked up at Zhu Yicheng. Seeing that Zhu Yicheng was not furious, he did not speak out and scold him severely, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "It's not that I am not doing my best, but that Yuan's troops blocked Yuan Qi's whereabouts. According to my knowledge, Wang Yousan was finally in the army after the battle of Jiujiang.

Yuan Qi was defeated in his troops and fled in panic, and the person who escorted Yuan Qi to escape was Gao Jin. After that, Yuan Qi and others sneaked into Poyang Lake. Not long after, his troops left Poyang Lake again, and then changed their way to Jiangxia. When they arrived in Jiangxia, Gao Jin gathered the remaining troops and raised the Yiqi flag to fight with the Qing army. However, there has been no news of Yuan Qi's whereabouts during this period. In my opinion, Yuan Qi was probably dead before he arrived in Jiangxia, or at least he was seriously ill and unable to take charge of the director."

Zhang Ran said one by one. Zhu Yicheng nodded slightly after hearing this. He felt that Zhang Ran’s analysis should still make sense.

Yuan Qi never appeared again after fleeing to Poyang Lake, so there were only three results. First: Yuan Qi died, second: Yuan Qi was seriously ill and unable to take charge of the director, third: Yuan Qi was completely discouraged when he retired to the mountains and forests.

The third possibility of these three results is the smallest, and Zhu Yicheng's understanding of Yuan Qi is also the most unlikely. Yuan Qi is a proud and will never make such a choice. Moreover, if Yuan Qi really changes his appearance and retreats, then Gao Jin will definitely follow him. How could he go to Jiangxia?

The second result seems possible, but it is impossible after careful consideration. Even if Yuan Qi is seriously ill and unable to manage the director, it is inevitable to meet the leaders of the rebel army with his status and personality, and will not be as silent as he is now.

Apart from the two most unlikely results, the answer is obvious. In addition, Gao Jin is now commanding troops to fight the Qing army in Jiangxia, so Yuan Qi is probably dead, but the news of the rebels blocking the enemy was not disclosed.

"What a pity..." This is the second time Zhu Yicheng said in his heart today. The first time was of course Wang Yousan, and now it is Yuan Qi. Compared with Wang Yousan, Zhu Yicheng's grudge against Yuan Qi is even more complicated. Like Wang Yousan, Yuan Qi could be said to be his savior at first, but Yuan Qi was different from ordinary people. He was a hero. When he learned about Zhu Yicheng's identity, Yuan Qi was like a treasure and used Zhu Yicheng's identity to rise up, thus setting off an unprecedented rebel uprising in the Kangxi Dynasty.

It can be said that it was because of Yuan Qi's uprising that the situation was as good as it is today. However, Yuan Qi was too selfish and tried to firmly control Zhu Yicheng and win the world by wielding the emperor to command the princes. However, his luck was not very good. After the defeat in the Battle of Hangzhou, Zhu Yicheng escaped by chance and returned to the sea. Yuan Qi then rose and fell three times. Although he also built a large foundation, he was eventually betrayed by Zhou Zhongliang and others and ended up with his current fate.

Once, Zhu Yicheng thought about how to face Yuan Qi. He even thought in his mind whether to recruit or completely eliminate Yuan Qi after destroying the Qing court. He imagined how he would face himself when he saw Yuan Qi again. The puppet of that year had become the winner, but the arrogant Marshal who was then the loser, maybe this scene would be more interesting. Unfortunately, all this will no longer happen. Thinking of Zhu Yicheng's heart was empty all of a sudden, as if he had lost something.

When Zhu Yi became Yuan Qi's feelings for it, in Jiangxia, Gao Jin was meeting a man who was an envoy sent by the leader of the Sichuan White Lotus Sect who had been conspiring with Yuan Qi. After leaving Poyang Lake, Gao Jin sent someone to Sichuan to contact him, and now the other party has finally sent someone here.
