"Jili wala, wala gul..."

Several Japanese pirates, led by a leader, approached the shore in small boats and began to mock Lin Xue and her group of seventy or eighty soldiers.

"You pirates, how dare you rob me! Your actions are like an old woman hanging herself, courting death!"

Lin Xue sat on her horse, calmly watching the arrogant Japanese pirates.

"Madam, it seems they've brought a large force this time. Do we think we can win?"

In the past, even if Japanese pirates came, it was only a small team of dozens or hundreds of people, but now more than 2,000 people came at once.

The onlookers were also in an uproar!

"No matter how many of these bastards come, I have a way to deal with them!"

Lin Xue glanced at the crowd behind her. Since when did a group of people always follow and watch her when she went to war?

The power of these onlookers is incredible; they've taken their gossip to the battlefield. I don't know what these people are thinking. Do they really believe in her strength?

"Someone, set up the offering table. Today we will worship the Dragon King of our Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Lin Xue had already devised a plan when she arrived at the coastline.

These few hundred people were alright; she took them down one against ten, and at most, she was called a heroine.

Facing thousands of people, it would be an exaggeration for them to win with just a few dozen people.

So Lin Xue came up with a plan: to worship the sea god and use the god's power to cast spells and kill all the Japanese pirates in front of her.

As soon as Lin Xue finished speaking, a group of soldiers carried long tables and short desks and placed them in front of her.

A big pig's head, fish, shrimp, meat, eggs, vegetables, and a large vat of eight-treasure porridge made from various grains.

Two cattle and two sheep, and a number of chickens, ducks and geese.

Then it was Lin Xue's turn to perform. She had changed into a gaudy outfit and her face was painted with all sorts of colors.

Holding a dragon-headed cane, she stood in front of the offering table, jumping and hopping around, occasionally spinning in circles, muttering incantations that no one could understand.

This move also baffled the Japanese pirates on the other side. They came to rob, so why were they putting on a show?

"oh……"

In the end, Lin Xue held her cane in front of her with both hands, making a gesture as if calling out.

The sound was long and resonant, and under the influence of spiritual power, it traveled extremely far.

It evoked a sense of ethereal calling. In short, at this moment, only the word 'mysterious' can describe it.

"Lord Dragon God, your people are being attacked by pirates who intend to slaughter those you protect. I am the wife of the magistrate of Yuhai County, and on behalf of all the people of the county, I beg the Lord Dragon God for help!"

"Help the people of Yuhai County! Help us drive these pirates away and never let them harass our fishermen on the coast again!"

After Lin Xue finished speaking, she bowed to the distant sea, and then a talisman slipped from her hand, burning as her knuckles trembled.

The incantation was slowly uttered, and the next second, dark clouds gathered and converged above the group of pirates.

The clouds arrived in an instant, giving the Japanese pirates no time to react. In the blink of an eye, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down, sweeping across several large ships.

"ah!!!"

Although the languages ​​are not exactly the same, the screams are very similar.

After the thunder, all the Japanese pirates on the ship were reduced to dust, but the ship itself was preserved intact.

Lin Xue immediately led the soldiers behind her onto those ships, gathered the supplies on board, and transported all the large ships back to the shipyard.

"Oh oh oh!"

"We won again! It's the Dragon King's miracle! The Dragon King's miracle!"

"We've prayed to the Dragon King countless times before, but we never expected that the magistrate's wife would actually manage to summon him!"

"Our county magistrate's wife is truly remarkable. She's skilled at farming, raising livestock, doing business, leading troops in battle, and even summoning deities..."

"I propose that we rebuild the Dragon King Temple!"

"Now that the Dragon King is willing to protect the people of Yuhai County once again, we can rebuild the Dragon King Temple!"

To be honest, many of the onlookers felt guilty about this.

Back then, when the people of Yuhai County were starving and exhausted, they harbored a deep resentment with nowhere to vent it. In the end, they poured all their anger on the Dragon King Temple, smashing the entire temple to pieces.

Not only did they smash the temple, they also destroyed the statue of the Dragon King and took away the bricks from the temple.

No one dared to speak of this matter aloud. They planned to contribute more when the Dragon King Temple was being built, and then secretly apologize to the Dragon King and offer more sacrifices.

It is said that the law does not punish the masses. In fact, it was not just one or two people who did this, but half of the people in Yuhai County who participated in that operation.

Therefore, although these people were uneasy, they were not so afraid that they dared not set foot in the Dragon King Temple.

Lin Xue did not participate in what happened next. She went to the shipyard with the soldiers early on and had people start inspecting the large ships that had been seized.

Large ships like these can go into the deep sea, but Lin Xue and her team haven't built many yet!

The main problem is that Lin Xue has high standards. She doesn't like the big ships that the Japanese pirates use. She wants to build better ones!

A better, larger ship naturally means more difficult technology and more expensive materials!

The main challenge lies in overcoming the technical difficulties, which will require some more time!

Shortly after Lin Xue left, Yu Qianhua also left with his people.

This imperial envoy has certainly broadened his horizons. He never expected that the county magistrate's wife would have such abilities. Not only is she a brilliant strategist, but what did he see today?

That would require the Dragon King to intervene and eliminate the invading Japanese pirates!

In the past, when their navy went into battle, they would offer sacrifices to the Dragon King, hoping to return safely, but every time they suffered more than half of their troops dead or wounded.

Could it be that their sacrificial methods are incorrect?

Think about the scenes of their usual sacrificial rites, and recall the items Lin Xue placed on the table, the live animals, and Lin Xue's peculiar prayer attire and incantations!

"No, it seems that the magistrate's wife removed those things in the end, and all the live cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese were taken back with them!"

"No, no!"

"If this is truly a request for the Dragon King to intervene, why hasn't the Dragon King revealed his true form?"

"Why weren't those offerings thrown into the sea for the Dragon King to enjoy, but instead were taken back?"

"He must have overlooked something; it can't be that simple."

For a moment, our imperial envoy was plunged into deep self-doubt!

Since arriving in Yuhai County, Yu Qianhua has felt that his brain is not working properly.

There were just too many things he couldn't understand. Compared to the people of Yuhai County who were used to it, he seemed like a lunatic.

Yu Qianhua couldn't wait a moment longer. He planned to return to Yuhai County immediately, write a secret report, and send it back to the Emperor by fast horse.
