"Tell me quickly, who's behind this gambling den!"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he spilled everything he knew.

It turns out that this gambling den is actually connected to Java in the west!

The King of Java heard about the tiny land of Sanam Province.

He was both curious and envious that they had actually subdued the fierce barbarians and were thriving.

He was particularly fascinated by the novelties produced in Shannan Prefecture.

Furthermore, with the recent great victory of Shannan Prefecture over Beixiang Kingdom, the King of Java was even more uneasy.

They sent people to set up gambling dens in Shannan Prefecture, ostensibly for the entertainment of the masses.

In reality, they were secretly gathering intelligence and smuggling rare goods from Shannan Prefecture back with them.

After listening to Li Kui's report, Lu Yan remained calm, as if he had expected it.

"Java? Ha, I never expected that these monkeys would dare to stick their hands in my territory."

Li Kui scratched his head.

"Sir, Java is on the other side of the canal. How do they know about our Shannan Prefecture?"

Lu Yan sneered.

There are no secrets in this world.

"The things I've done will eventually attract the attention of various forces."

"Java is just the first country to jump out."

"So what do we do next?"

Li Kui asked.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yan's eyes.

"Since they want to play, I'll play along with them!"

"Little Kui, go to Java yourself and bring me a 'gift'!"

Upon hearing this, Li Kui immediately became excited.

"Sir, you mean to..."

Lu Yan leaned close to Li Kui's ear and whispered a few instructions.

Li Kui nodded repeatedly, a sinister smile on his face.

"Hehe, you're brilliant, sir! I'll get right on it!"
