Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The sea’s fury lasted long before slowly subsided, leaving a mess behind. The corpses of the pirates were all carried away by the sea, and the sea was filled with corpses.
“The rescue team is probably swallowed by the sea.”
Xiao Zeyu sighed. Those were all his people, and they had lost their lives for nothing.
After the tsunami, Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing could catch their breath. The pirate emperor and his pirates had all escaped. Before they could counterattack, Xiao Zeyu and his soldiers took the time to rest and eat.
Only by maintaining their combat strength could they win the battle.
Although the number of soldiers was several dozen times greater, and they were in the pirates’ territory, the Xiao Family’s Army was unafraid. They believed they could win as long as the Emperor and Empress were here.
This was the power of faith. Su Qing asked Xiao Qi to take out the food in the system and distribute it to everyone. To keep everyone fighting, Xiao Qi specially made a medicinal soup that could increase their stamina and spirit. Everyone drank a bowl and felt more energetic afterward. They didn’t feel tired at all.
The Emperor of Japan probably thought the tsunami had swallowed them, so he sent no more troops to surround them. The reinforcements from the Xiao Family Army had not arrived yet, so they could not act rashly.
Both sides did not attack first, so they could both fix it.
All the edible food in the system had been eaten up. Su Qing brought Xiao Qi and Zhong Yong to pick up shells, crabs, and clams to eat. There were plenty of them on the shore after the tide receded. They would pick up a lot in a while.
Xiao Zeyu didn’t allow Su Qing to bend down to pick up the food. She stood at the side and directed them to put all the seafood Xiao Qi, which the others had picked, into the big pot to steam. They would eat the seafood for dinner.
Many warriors had never eaten seafood, especially crabs and mantis shrimps.
They called mantis shrimp giant bugs, so how could the Empress let them eat giant bugs?
Not to mention the soldiers, even Xiao Zeyu had never eaten this, so he chose what he had eaten.
After a simple dinner, Xiao Zeyu ordered everyone to gather together. The outer circle was for night watch, divided into three groups of twenty people each.
“If you hear any sound, don’t chase after it. You must guard well.”
Xiao Zeyu seemed to have returned to the time when he was fleeing from famine. Su Qing also led everyone to find food like this. She could always find food. Otherwise, where would she find food in this vast sea? Without food, they would lose their fighting strength in less than three days.
He was very experienced in keeping vigil.
After arranging the soldiers, Xiao Zeyu came to Su Qing’s side and let her lie on him, using him as a bed to sleep comfortably.
In the middle of the night, the Japanese pirates came to attack. Fortunately, they were discovered by the night guards. The two sides started a fierce fight again. They fought until dawn. If they held on, they would see hope. When dawn came, Su Qing saw a big ship and a dozen small boats coming from the sea. The ships were full of soldiers.
When the reinforcements arrived, there were a few hundred more people, and their combat strength doubled.
“Qing’er, go back with the boat.”
Just like Su Qing, Xiao Zeyu didn’t want to retreat. It wasn’t easy for him to succeed. If she left, it would be difficult for him to come back.
“I’m not leaving; I’ll fight with you to the East Ocean Capital and capture the dog Emperor alive.”
Su Qing refused to leave. She was worried about Xiao Zeyu and wanted to stay behind to help him.
“I can’t focus on the war if you keep doing this. The Celestial Empress can’t stay here at the same time. Someone needs to support us from behind. Besides, we don’t have any cannons or grenades now. It’s hazardous. Go back and make some.”
Xiao Zeyu coaxed Su Qing to leave.
“Alright, but you have to promise me not to attack first. Just guard the dock.”
Su Qing thought about it for a moment. To win against many enemies, one had to have good weapons. She couldn’t make grenades or artillery shells here, so she had to return. However, before she left, she told Xiao Zeyu not to attack the Imperial City of the East Ocean. He had to wait for her to return.
“Alright, I know. I won’t risk the lives of my soldiers. Be careful on your way.”
Xiao Zeyu nodded his head in agreement. He walked Su Qing to the boat and continued to give instructions. The boat left, but Xiao Zeyu stood on the shore and watched as the ship disappeared.
Su Qing stood at the ship’s bow and watched Xiao Zeyu’s figure gradually shrink. She turned around resolutely. War was cruel. If Xiao Zeyu could bring troops to save her, she could bring artillery to save him.
“Xiao Qi, stay and protect him.”
Su Qing ordered Xiao Qi to stay behind and protect Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Qi obediently left the system and flew towards the shore.
Xiao Zeyu saw Xiao Qi flying over and panicked,
“Xiao Qi, go protect her.”
Xiao Qi stopped on the surface of the sea. It was a little tricky. Who was she protecting?
“Stay there.” (f)ree
Su Qing ordered Xiao Qi with her heart. Xiao Qi chose to listen to her master and flew to Xiao Zeyu’s side to protect him.
Su Qing took the boat back to the shore of Sea City. The soldiers were sitting on the shore and waiting. When they saw the boat coming back, they hurriedly stood up. contemporary romance
As soon as the ship docked, these soldiers rushed to the ship. They knew the road ahead was dangerous, but none retreated.
“Your Majesty!”
The soldiers hurriedly bowed when they saw Su Qing.
“Your Majesty!”
“Yes, you guys should go and support the Emperor.”
Su Qing nodded and ordered the soldiers to board the boat. She asked the captain to take them to Japan as soon as possible.
“Sister Su Qing.”
Jiang Yuyan ran over. She had been waiting by the shore. She had been so worried that she had not slept the entire night, and her eyes were bloodshot.
“Okay, let’s enter the city.”
Su Qing nodded and called Jiang Yuyan into the city. Whether it was making grenades or shells, they needed a blacksmith shop.
“Sister Su Qing, Qin Tie is already doing it.”
Jiang Yuyan feared Su Qing would get angry, so she spoke softly.
When Su Qing and the others left Sea City, they left Qin Tie behind. Jiang Yuyan was in charge of taking care of him. Su Qing still left some good healing medicine that could bring people back to life. After taking the medicine, Qin Tie became more energetic. He knew Jiang Yuyan and that only the Empress had the medicine to bring people back to life.
Qin Tie was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He never thought he would have the chance to apologize to the Empress.
When he heard that Su Qing and the others had gone to attack Japan, Qin Tie knelt before Jiang Yuyan and begged her to help him find a blacksmith shop. He instructed the blacksmith to make cannonballs to help Su Qing attack Japan.
After Su Qing heard Jiang Yuyan’s words, she had a complicated look in her eyes. She followed Jiang Yuyan into the city and found Qin Tie in the blacksmith shop.
She sat on the chair and instructed the two blacksmiths to forge the cannonballs. There were already five empty cannonballs on the ground. They could be fired once they were loaded with gunpowder.
Su Qing picked up the empty cannonball and looked at it. She did not fully trust Qin Tie. If the cannonball were not installed properly, it would explode. If the explosives were shot backward, they would kill their people.
“Empress.”
Qin Tie was stunned when he saw Su Qing. Then, he knelt and cried out,
“Your Majesty.”
Su Qing ignored him and continued to check the shells. After ensuring none had been tampered with, she looked up at Qin Tie.
“You are in charge of supervising.”
Qin Tie looked at Su Qing in disbelief, and his eyes instantly lit up. Did the Empress forgive him?
Two days later, Su Qing rushed to Japan with ten bombs filled with explosives. She was anxious. It had been two days, and she wondered how Shuisheng was doing.. Is there any danger?
