As expected, when the fast ships approached the dock, they suddenly caught fire, and then a smug laughter sounded from the warships behind them: "Let you guard Putuo Island, I wish you more and more prosperous!"
There was a special irony in the laughter, and everyone on the island was immediately angry.
"It's so unreasonable!" said the village chief pointing to the fireboat that was about to arrive.
But when facing fear, who can take revenge with hatred?
Jiang Hexi quickly ordered his men to shoot the rockets, and the fire-like arrow fell on the sails of the Clippers as if it was raining.
Soon the sailboat caught fire, and the wind blew harder and the canvas on several sailboats were burned to ashes.
Without the sail as power, the ship stopped on the water and burned the fuel on its own. The Japanese pirates on the opposite side were stunned.
Jiang Hexi checked the sea surface and found no signs of heavy storms. He hurriedly asked someone to run to the side of the fireboat, and used a small boat to pull it into the Japanese camp.
So, many small boats seemed to be flocking fish and shrimps, running to the large boats, rushing forward and behind, pushing the fireboat to move into the Japanese pirates' camp.
Japan, which had hoped for victory, had never thought that such a result would be achieved, but such a result actually appeared in front of one's own eyes!
Then, the Japanese pirates' camp fell into chaos, and the sound of escape and screams were heard.
Jiang Hexi watched the fireboats burning towards the Japanese territory proudly, and secretly felt proud that his plan had been successfully realized.
"Will we be a little cruel in this way?" Huo Jingchen looked at Jiang Hexi as if he had remembered something.
"Cruel?" Jiang Hexi shook his head: "When they came to attack, why didn't they think they would be cruel?"
Huo Jingchen thought about it and seemed to make sense. After all, he was just a counterattack, and the fire ship was still the ones they burned.
Besides, the Japanese people are so smart that they will definitely retreat properly, and it is impossible for them to stand on the shore and wait for death.
Huo Jingchen looked at Jiang Hexi and said, "That's what they said, they should learn a little more in the future, right? They will never come again."
Jiang Hexi nodded and said, "I hope so!"
As she said that, she handed over the military talismans of the navy she brought to the village chief on Putuo Island: "We are not familiar with the Daojiang River in Putuo Mountain. The terrain and the direction of the ocean currents are the direction of the ocean currents. I'm afraid you can give me some advice.
What about the country.”
Of course, the village chief accepted the military talisman with mercy and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since the court has the confidence to send elite soldiers to us, we will definitely allow them to live and work in peace and contentment. If someone attacks, they can win and return!"
When Jiang Hexi saw the village chief's promise, he felt grateful.
Huo Jingchen looked at the days and it had been almost a month since he arrived in Putuo Island. I am afraid that something happened in the capital this month would never have imagined.
Besides, I am now considered a court official. Since I have completed the court's tasks, I should go back quickly.
Jiang Hexi reluctantly said goodbye to the people on Putuo Island, and then rode back on a boat.
When he returned to the palace, the emperor was talking about a trade treaty with the Japanese envoys. Seeing Jiang Hexi and Huo Jingchen back, the Japanese envoys rushed forward to apologize: "The villain does not know the power of the heavenly kingdom, and it is so offensive.
I hope you will forgive me.”
Jiang Hexi smiled slightly and said, "Where is it? This is not a fight or acquaintance. What's more, our Daliang Empire has always been kind to others, so how can we revenge if we vengeful?"
After saying this, the Japanese envoy became even more attentive, constantly giving in to his requests, and finally signed a treaty.
Jiang Hexi was invited to stay for dinner. During the banquet, she saw the little princess A Cai who was crying.
This Acai is just twelve years old and looks smart. Everyone regards her as a pistachio in the harem.
However, for some reason, she cried so hard that she was no longer a person.
Jiang Hexi hurriedly grabbed A Cai and asked, "Princess Seventh Princess, what happened to you? Are you going to be so sad?"
A Cai wiped away the tears from his face and said to Jiang Hexi with a sad face: "Don't call me a princess, I will soon be no princess. You want to call me a concubine, the imperial concubine of Japan!"
"What? The imperial concubine of Japan?" Jiang Hexi looked at A Cai's childish face. Although ancient people got married very early, it seemed that A Cai's age was too early, right?
Jiang Hexi gently touched A Cai's head and whispered: "Don't worry, my sister will definitely help you convince your father."
A Cai looked at Jiang Hexi pitifully in his eyes: "But, but, my father said that if we don't get along, we may suffer a loss when we fight."
Jiang Hexi pointed to Huo Jingchen beside him and asked, "Seventh Princess, do you know who this is?"
"General Huo, Marshal Huo!" A Cai looked at Huo Jingchen, his eyes full of expectations.
"Yes, to protect the stability of Daliang, you cannot rely on you as a little girl, but on the general. I will talk to your father now."
Jiang Hexi became more and more excited as he spoke, and pulled Huo Jingchen and ran to the Golden Palace.
Huo Jingchen hurriedly grabbed Jiang Hexi: "Hexi, are you crazy? Where are you going?" Huo Jingchen held Jiang Hexi's hand.
"Didn't you hear me say? Go and find the emperor and go to the Golden Palace!"
Huo Jingchen hurriedly grabbed Jiang Hexi's hand: "Can you calm down? Don't talk about going to find the emperor, even if the emperor is still staying in the Golden Palace at this time?"
Jiang Hexi looked up at Huo Jingchen: "The emperor is not in the Golden Palace, is it in your room?"
Huo Jingchen frowned, and looked at Jiang Hexi's angry look, but he was a little cute. He grabbed her and said, "Think about it, the Japanese envoy is here now, of course he is still in the banquet hall, if so
If you have many people, you will get rid of the marriage. Where do you let others' faces go?"
Jiang Hexi looked at Huo Jingchen with a melancholy look: "Then, what do you think you should do?"
Huo Jingchen frowned and smiled, "Unless, unless you give the messenger a better courtesy."
Jiang Hexi looked at Huo Jingchen with a deep look. Before he knew it, he had been in Beijing for several years. The lives of the people in this capital and their special relationship have become more or less a little bit more understanding.
Huo Jingchen was also a complete foreigner who was gradually recognized by people in the capital since then. She herself has become increasingly integrated into urban life and has gained an understanding of the people in the capital.
