speaking, Wang Yiwai's eyes glimmered with a hint of light.The attending physician hesitated for a moment, rolled up his sleeve, and sat down to feel the patient's pulse. As he got up, he said, "Ple...At the bow and sides of the ship, towering giant crossbows stood tall, their cold and cruel presence like the fangs of a beast!

It's like it can fire at any moment, nailing all enemies to the ground!

From astonishment to panic, it took only a few breaths.

"Run! It's the bad guys!"

"Are you a pirate I saw, there's a one-eyed man on the ship!"

"Run, and report to the magistrate!"

The pier, which was just bustling with people moments ago, suddenly emptied.

Instead, all the wine shops, teahouses and stores, as well as the alleys, were teeming with people.

This is the typical Tian Wu person, eager to watch the commotion but afraid of getting hurt!

On a large ship at sea, a one-eyed giant wearing a leather eye patch and a coarse homespun jerkin, his chest hair on display, bellowed towards the back.

"General, we're here! It's just that these people in Xin Du are too cowardly. As soon as I showed myself, they all ran away!"

Having said that, he burst into a triumphant laugh, making him seem even more... like a bad person!

Someone in the hold shouted back, "It's not that I'm scared, it's that you look too frightening!"

The one-eyed giant patted his chest hair and indignantly protested.

“The general is just jealous of my height, strength, and imposing presence! Xiaocui’er even said she likes men like me the most!”

A group of rough-looking men guarding with bows and crossbows nearby were also laughing heartily, mocking mercilessly.

"Xiaocui is from Huamanlou. She says she likes whoever gives her money! Only you, the fool, would believe her!"

"That's it, you have the ability to marry a well-born woman and let her try liking you!"

"Hmph!" The one-eyed giant scoffed, unconcerned. "You're just jealous! Little Cui'er isn't a woman who loves money! Besides, those delicate young ladies from wealthy families, I can't afford them. One word from me and they'd be crying their eyes out, so forget it!"

Chuckling like this, the big men showed no awe or unfamiliarity with Kyoto upon their arrival. The laughter that spread also made the figures on the pier more confused to hear.

Who are these people

Looks like a pirate, but not in a hurry to disembark and plunder!

But if it's like the navy, it doesn't seem to have any rules at all!

Luckily, the docks were very close to the city defense camp, and soon soldiers from the city defense camp arrived.

Perhaps truly fearing a pirate invasion, three hundred men, each with swords at their sides, occupied the strategic positions along the dock.

The leader was a vice-commander, from a family of martial artists, and he was quite capable.

At this moment, he stood on the dock and hawked.

Who is on board Speak up!

In a short while, two figures indeed appeared on either side of the ship's prow.

He was tall and handsome.

A plump figure with a shrewd and cunning smile.

The soldiers didn't recognize him, but the deputy commander saw and shuddered involuntarily. He instinctively straightened his spine and stood at attention.

Li Jia Yi!

That imposing figure is Li Jia Yi!

Lee Jia Yi, who traveled thousands of miles to return home and avenge his sister after she was bullied!

Consider now the rumors that abound on every street corner, about County Princess Kang Le's perilous situation.

The Vice President's face was ashen. It was over, Li Jia-yi’s purpose for returning this time… was self-evident!

"Li… General Li, you… how did you come back Do you have any military orders"

At the helm were Li Jia yi and Liu Yang!

Upon hearing this, both of them let out a cold snort.

Li Jia-yi gripped the beast head at the prow of the ship, his eyes burning with anger and mockery.

"To think that this commander actually recognizes me! I thought everyone in Xin Du had forgotten, forgotten how sharp my blade is! Otherwise, how could he have bullied my sister again!"

The Vice President listened, feeling awkward and afraid, unsure how to respond.

Liu Yang, as always, played the role of a good person, smiling and interjecting, "Don't mind this commander, General Li just likes to joke around."

"Don't worry, my lord. This time we're not here on official business. We're just back to visit family."

This ship belongs to our family, and the people on board are all our own kin. It's just that this vessel used to drift at sea, so we had to have some self-defense methods, like these crossbows.

These people were often known to kill pirates, or even surrender to them willingly. Therefore, they appeared quite fearsome.

As long as no one provokes us, these crossbows and these men will be completely honest and harmless!

Self-defense

Bold

Do not provoke, do not hurt others

The Vice President's face tightened, and he was mentally cursing profusely.

This is clearly coming to seek justice, or to intimidate. Who wouldn't be worried Who wouldn't care

But he dared not speak. After a few casual greetings, he left the soldiers standing guard at a distance and hurried off to send a message.

So, Li Lao Er had quit his post and the peasant uprising remained unresolved. The Prince and the ministers heard that Li Jia Yi was sailing back with a pirate fleet in full force...

The high-ranking officials were all cunning individuals. They tacitly agreed to report the matter to the emperor.

When the prince was still hesitating, the Emperor appeared.

How could an emperor possibly trust someone wholeheartedly, even if that person were his own son

Over the past two days, on the surface, the government affairs were handed over to the Crown Prince. However, in reality, the Emperor was fully aware of every move made by the Crown Prince and the important officials.

The continuous threats from the Li family made him uneasy.

"What on earth is the Li family trying to do Do they want to rebel!" The Emperor slammed his fist on the table, his voice booming with anger, causing all the ministers to bow their heads in fear.

The Crown Prince quickly poured tea and presented it, persuading, “Father, I had someone make a quick inquiry. The Li family has been putting all their manpower and resources into taking care of the refugees these days, but rumors are flying among them that they want the County Princess to sacrifice herself to pray for rain. Such heartless scoundrels! Even Old Master Li, who is so talented, fell ill because of this and had to give up his duties.”

As for Li Jia-yi bringing a sea vessel back, he kept it anchored at the pier. No one disembarked, which suggests he probably wanted to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"A misunderstanding" The Emperor snorted coldly, not bothering to listen. "He dares to do this, it's a threat to me! The entire Li family is certain I can't punish him!"

Upon seeing this, the prince couldn't say anything either, for fear that he too would be blamed.

Several high-ranking officials would rather not be present, wishing to avoid getting involved in the conflict between the Li family and the emperor, or rather, the power struggle between Xinting Hou and the emperor!

At this time, Ding Beihou heard the news and hurried over.

These days, he has been secretly mobilizing people and spreading rumors everywhere. He is quite pleased with himself.

Just now, I suddenly heard that Lee Jia-yi had returned with a fleet of pirates to support Princess Kang Le. He was so excited that he jumped up and down on the spot.

Great opportunity, an excellent opportunity!

If this operation goes well, not only can we uproot the Li family, but we can also gain some real power for ourselves!

As soon as he stepped into the room, he fell to his knees with a thud and cried out loudly.

"Your Majesty, the Li family is truly outrageous! With over ten thousand refugees outside the city, Li Yusheng said he would just abandon them, showing no regard for the safety of Xindu or your own well-being!"

"Now Li Jia Yi even personally leads thugs back to coerce you, this is a serious crime, unforgivable!

" Let me know if you'd like any other text translated!

"Your Majesty, I request an order to immediately mobilize troops and capture Li Jiayi and the bandits, ensuring peace in Xindu!"
