enough to freeze people solid. Every day, one can't leave the kang (heated bed) and step outside.But here in Jiangnan, it's warm outside but cold inside. Sitting on a heated kang bed, you still need...At a critical moment, a young general suddenly jumped off the large ship. He had a thick rope wrapped around his waist. With one foot braced against the side of the ship, he used it to spring himself into the air and landed gracefully on the pirate's boat.
The small boat was suddenly kicked by a strong force, its bow turning sharply. The young general followed suit, kicking again with both feet, and the small boat drifted away from the large one.
Let it crackle and blaze, it can't threaten the grand ship in the slightest.
The pirates on the small boat were yelling angrily, still wanting to shoot arrows, but as soon as they showed their heads, they were met with a hail of arrows from the soldiers on the large ship.
Some Japanese pirates were killed on the spot, some were injured, and some jumped into the sea to seek a way out.
Unfortunately, in the vast ocean, there is no one within hundreds of miles. The wind and waves are also strong. The chance of surviving a jump into the sea is very slim...
Soon, the small boat was burned down to half, and when there were no more people on board to pose a threat, the big ship sailed over.
Naturally, soldiers went up to clean the battlefield and collect the weaponry of the Japanese pirates as war spoils.
The young general took off his soaked shirt and tossed it onto the deck, revealing his muscular upper body.
Perhaps years of wind and sun exposure, his chest and back were the color of bronze, occasionally with a few scars that crisscrossed like shining medals.
A soldier stepped forward and handed him dry clothes, smiling and saying, "General, that move you just did, the Dragon's Tail, was simply amazing! Throughout our entire army, only you possess such divine power."
"Hee hee, we wiped out more than twenty pirates this time. Going back to report our achievements, those outsiders will surely be envious and clamoring!"
Needless to say, this young general is Li Jia Yi.
After more than two years in the Hailan Army, he relied on his superhuman strength to achieve remarkable feats in every battle. As his accomplishments accumulated, he eventually rose to the rank of general.
Although many colleagues were dissatisfied with him on a daily basis, no one dared to provoke him.
After all, when he first joined the army, there were some people who tried to be disrespectful, but in the end, they were tossed into the air like a ball by Lee Jia-yi for dozens of times...
Finally, the man was so scared that he peed his pants and begged for mercy before the attacker stopped.
After all, no one wants to end up the same way.
Besides, General Tang said that whoever could be as skilled as Li Jiayi in slaying the Japanese pirates, defeating them as easily as slicing melons and vegetables, would surely have him personally petitioning the court for an award!
If you can't, just shut up.
In the military, strength speaks louder than words!
There were five hundred soldiers on board this ship, all comrades who had entered the army together and fought side by side with him from the beginning. They had absolute faith in him.
It can be said to be a direct descendant.
They were supposed to rest today, but Li Jia-yi had a habit of going out to sea every day unless it was stormy weather.
They were idle at the camp too, so they came out with him.
Unexpectedly, I also captured a few pirate boats! I made a small contribution.
Seeing his personal guard remove his wet clothes, Li Jia yi climbed onto the mast and looked out into the distance.
Unfortunately, all I see is a vast expanse of blue sky and sea. There isn't even a single ship in sight.
He was a little disappointed and sighed softly.
When I first enlisted in the Hai Lan Army, of course, I had the ambition to make a name for myself. Later on, the main reason was to find my two younger brothers!
These two rascals, following the Foreign Affairs Department on an overseas trip, said they'd be back soon.
As a result, after more than two years of no contact, his family must have been worried sick!
But he searched every foreign fleet that called at Quanzhou Port, and found no news.
He set sail again and again, but returned disappointed each time.
Thinking of his elderly grandmother, he knew his kind-hearted younger sister must be feeling guilty. His aunts would secretly shed tears, and his heart grew even more anxious.
The soldiers stationed far away, seeing the general come down from the mast, knew this was not the time to provoke him. They spontaneously turned their ships around and sailed away.
One hundred miles, with a fair wind and calm seas, we returned to the military port in less than an hour.
As soon as the big ship docked and a gangplank was put in place, people immediately began to climb aboard.
The newcomer was also young and strong, but his skin had darkened considerably. He grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
Before he even reached Jia Yi's side, Jia Yi called out, "Liu Yang, did you go to the Yue family today Did you meet your future wife"
"Seeing how happy you are, why don't you write a letter home right away and get married!
"Stop making us single people jealous all day!"
Heihanzi Liu Yang's smile grew even brighter, he was over the moon with pride, "You're jealous! You are clearly higher in rank and more valiant than me, but Linlang is drawn to me, not you!"
Jia Yi rolled his eyes and retorted, "Who cares I'm not interested in those weak, pampered daughters from wealthy families. If I'm going to look for someone, I want someone who practices martial arts."
Otherwise, I'll start crying with wide eyes, just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Seeing that the two of them had gathered their personal guards to speak, and no one was paying attention to this side, Liu Yang quietly asked, "Are you talking about that Coral maiden"
She's been back for half a year after you saved her. After recovering from her injuries, she started helping out at the wounded camp. Many people are praising her now.
If you like it, write a letter home with me and decide on it soon!
Jia Yi frowned, irritably tousling his hair, and replied: "Wait a little longer. Those two boys haven't sent any news yet. If I write back now, Grandma and the others might misunderstand and be disappointed."
"Grandma is getting older, I'm really worried..."
Liu Yang also became dejected, turned his head to look at the depths of the sea, and said, "When these two boys come back, I will definitely give them a good scolding. How can they forget their home after going out!"
Jiayi let out a sigh, he didn't think that way at all.
Just come back, brothers. Our family can't bear the pain of losing both of you...
After a few words, the two men got off the boat and walked back to their camp.
As a result, when they reached the camp's gate, a young clerk was waiting there.
Liu Yang recognized that they were from the Yue family. He thought it was his future father-in-law who had forgotten something and sent someone to deliver a message, so he hurried over.
Two years ago, he and Jia Yi joined the Hai Lan Army and rose rapidly through the ranks. They planned to settle down there permanently.
One thing he loved was the sea, and going to war by ship.
One is that with a younger sibling at home, there's no need to worry about parents’ retirement.
So, last year in Quanzhou City, I happened to witness an act of bravery and saved a young woman. After falling instantly in love, I put in extra effort and diligently visited her family's home.
The young lady's surname was Yue. Her family was wealthy merchants involved in the sea trade and had some dealings with Li's uncle.
Thus, after more than a year together, the Yue family was very happy to have this young general from the Hailan Army as a long-term supporter.
He also likes Yuejia girl's gentleness and virtuousness, Yue's parents' shrewdness and completeness, and the two relatively capable nephews.
One person studies, the other goes into business with their father-in-law.
So, today, I briefly mentioned to Yue's family about setting a marriage date, and he plans to tell his family as soon as possible.
It would be best if your father came here himself, or at least gave us a definite answer. Then he could make arrangements to marry her off…
"Yue Feng, you came to me for something" Liu Yang walked forward and asked.
Yue Feng was in charge of things around Yue Lao, and he was highly trusted.
The fact that he came over indicates that something major is happening.
As expected, Yue Feng talked for a while, and Liu Yang's face turned darker the more he listened. Then, he hurriedly turned away from Yue Feng and rushed into the camp... etiquette.In case she truly had to enter the palace, she wouldn't be ignorant and bring shame upon her family.Grandma He had spent her whole life in the palace. There was no one who knew it better th...
