"General Guan, what has happened?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't know. This old minister only rushed here after hearing the sound of gongs and drums."

Li Qiji pulled Guan Zhiyue along and they ran through the night sky with the crowd, heading towards the boundless sea.

Guan Zhiyue's small hand gently scratched Li Qiji's large hand, causing Li Qiji to pause and tighten his grip.

When the group of people ran to the beach, they saw a white area that looked like something was protruding.

"Light some torches and see what's on the sea," Chen Jianjun ordered loudly.

At this moment, some soldiers carrying torches ran up from behind. Facing the sea breeze, the torches fluttered in the air, their flames appearing and disappearing. More than a dozen torches were lit.

The soldier standing on the watchtower looked out at the sea and screamed in terror.

"ah!!!!!"

"What happened?"

"General, there is a ship on the sea."

Chen Jianjun and Guan Hongsheng immediately flew towards the watchtower and stood at the highest point. Looking at the sea near the shore, they saw five boats neatly moored, including three particularly large ones and two smaller ones.

"Hahaha, Heaven is helping me! Heaven is helping me!" Guan Hongsheng couldn't help but exclaim.

Chen Jianjun frowned and said, "My lord, this thing has an unknown origin; it might be a scam."

Guan Hongsheng stopped laughing and nodded, saying, "That's true. However, I still need to go and investigate further. Would General Chen be willing to come along?"

Li Qiji feigned concern and asked, "General Guan, has something happened?"

Guan Hongsheng jumped down from the watchtower and excitedly walked up to Li Qiji, saying, "Your Majesty, what a joyous occasion! It's as if the heavens are helping us! It must be Your Majesty's sincerity that has moved the heavens."

"Oh? What brings such great joy?"

Guan Hongsheng pointed to the coastline behind the mountain and said, "Your Majesty, there are five large ships anchored on the sea behind that mountain. Isn't this a great joy?"

Li Qiji exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, really?"

He then embraced Guan Zhiyue and flew up to the watchtower. Looking over there, he said excitedly, "Heaven has not forsaken Nanding! Heaven has not forsaken Nanding!"

Chen Jianjun said from the side, "Your Majesty, it's best to be cautious."

"Let this humble general and Lord Guan go and investigate!"

"I wish to travel with you," Li Qiji quickly said.

Guan Zhiyue nodded and said, "Since it is a gift from heaven, then I will also go and explore it."

Before Chen Jianjun could say anything to stop them, Guan Zhiyue and Li Qiji had already flown off in that direction.

Guan Hongsheng, Chen Jianjun, and several others who knew light-footed kung fu also leaped towards the five warships anchored on the sea, not to be outdone.

"Wow, my goodness, bro, this is way too exquisite and luxurious! This..."

"Holy crap, bro, look! There's even an instruction manual here!"

Guan Chengheng followed his elder brother onto the warship and looked around. He was truly shocked to see the instruction manual printed in traditional Chinese characters on A4 paper.

"My God, brother, this paper is so thin, so white, and so sharp!"

"What kind of technology is this? It's so neatly arranged. It doesn't look like it was handwritten. It's amazing."

Guan Chengheng is like someone who has never seen much of the world. He keeps chattering away whenever he sees something new.

Guan Chengzhuo was furious with him. He wanted to quietly study what this big ship was made of and what these strange things were for.

The same principle applies to the other ships; none of them can escape the "it's actually pretty good" phenomenon.

"Your Majesty, this is a blessing from Heaven for our Southern Expedition! This is a divine weapon!" Guan Hongsheng and Chen Jianjun stood on the deck, looking at the enormous warship, and exclaimed from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Qiji and Guan Zhiyue exchanged a glance, then smiled and replied, "Yes, Heaven blesses Nanding!" As they said this...

Li Qiji gave Guan Zhiyue a deep look, then tightened his grip on her hand, which made Guan Zhiyue feel at ease.

"Your Majesty, now that we have powerful weapons, let's set sail tomorrow to fight the Japanese pirates. I just read the instruction manual, and the warships seem really powerful," Guan Zhiyue chimed in.

Li Qiji was quick to respond, and immediately asked, "General Chen, General Guan, what do you two think?"

The two men, who were suddenly stopped, were taken aback at first, but then they came to their senses and respectfully clasped their hands in greeting, saying, "Your Majesty is right. Then let's set off tomorrow."

"Yes, then we'll set off tomorrow."

After giving some instructions, Li Qiji led Guan Zhiyue towards the camp. He was going to go back to sleep. This really solved a major problem, and they could start sailing the warship at dawn tomorrow.

****

"Yue'er, thank you. Without you, I..."

"In that case, treat me well!"

Li Qiji held her tightly in his arms, took a deep breath of the fragrance emanating from her head, rested his chin on Guan Zhiyue's head, and said softly, "Yes, I will definitely treat my wife well in every way."

A gentle breeze swept through, and the room was once again filled with a harmonious atmosphere...

——

The next day.

Guan Hongsheng was so excited last night that he was speechless. Before dawn today, he arrived at the seaside and stared at the white warship. His mouth was practically stretched to the back of his ears. This was a special divine weapon that only their Nanding Kingdom possessed.

In no time, news of the divine weapons of the Southern Kingdom spread throughout the entire continent. However, Guan Zhiyue and the others were unaware of this, as they were about to board the ship and set sail.

Each ship is equipped with a user manual, which explains the load capacity, the number of passengers, how to operate each key, which position should be staffed, and what the staff should do. It is very detailed.

The soldiers looked at the brand-new warship, and their eyes revealed a hint of excitement. They were going to sea, and even to other countries. With such powerful weapons, who would they be afraid of?

On the shimmering sea, five warships of varying sizes were sailing, heading towards the direction of Japan.

Guan Zhiyue and Li Qiji were on a warship with a crew of nine hundred, watching the sea surface shimmer brightly under the sunlight.

"Japan is truly fortunate to have witnessed the power of our firearms!"

When Guan Zhiyue said this, Li Qiji's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, she was from Nanding Kingdom, not some other country. If she were from another country, wouldn't Nanding Kingdom also have witnessed the power of these firearms?

"Hehe, Yue'er is right."

Rosamund Kwan: ​​....

After sailing for about five or six days, Li Qiji and his group finally arrived at the territorial waters of Japan. Looking at the few wooden warships floating on the sea, Guan Zhiyue couldn't help but smile.

"Sigh, looks like someone's looking for trouble."

"Ichiro Komura, it's been a long time."

Guan Zhiyue clenched her fists and glared fiercely at the ship not far ahead.
