"Tie Niu, go prepare the carriage."
"Prepare the stretcher immediately."
"Take the seriously injured soldiers back to Panyu as quickly as possible."
"We brought some doctors with us and asked them to do their best to help the wounded."
"promise!"
Ning Que raised his hand.
Let them retreat first with the wounded.
"You all should be careful. If you encounter Japanese pirates again, retreat first and release fireworks at the same time."
"clear!"
Tie Niu nodded.
After the gunpowder was prepared, Ning Que had Gongshu Jia make some fireworks. Of course, they weren't for admiration, but primarily for emergency notifications. If there was danger, fireworks could be used to communicate.
After they retreated, Ning Que crouched down. He sized up the ronin before him and sneered, "Since you understand Feng language, you've saved me the trouble. You Japanese are truly relentless villains. It wasn't enough that you were utterly annihilated by the Great Feng back then, but now you dare to come to Lingnan."
"I'll kill him right now!"
Hae Jae looked furious.
He picked up a long knife and wanted to stab the ronin to death.
The Nanyue Kingdom and the Minyue Kingdom had some grievances, but these were matters between the Yue people. However, the Japanese suddenly landed in the Minyue Kingdom and carried out a large-scale massacre. They killed all the men and abused the women in various ways. It's unknown how many people they killed.
The key point is that when some ronin from the Japanese pirates fell into the sea, it was the Minyue people who saved them. Who would have thought that these ronin would repay their kindness with hatred and in turn start to annex Minyue.
"Don't worry, brother."
Ning Que raised his hand and controlled Hai Zai.
He had no intention of leaving anyone alive.
But it’s better to ask first.
"You...are you really Prince Ning?"
The ronin endured the severe pain and asked.
“Guaranteed authenticity.”
"Didn't King Ning die in Goguryeo?"
"Haha, what do you think?" Ning Que sat calmly, a hint of a smile on his face as he said, "I didn't expect you to get the news so early, knowing that I faked my death. So, it seems you must have escaped here from Goguryeo, right?"
The Ronin was immediately shocked.
He did escape from Goguryeo.
They were originally stationed in Baekje, hoping to gain a foothold there. Their king had devised a plan: if they wanted to attack Daebong, they would first have to capture Goguryeo. Then, using Goguryeo as a springboard, they could attack Daebong's Liaodong region at any time. This way, they would officially enter the country.
The ronin had lived in Baekje for years, never expecting an attack from the Dafeng army. Fortunately, they managed to escape in time, eventually using boats to reach Jeju Island. From there, they quickly made their way to Minyue, utilizing the island's resources.
As soon as he arrived in Minyue, he received orders from the general. They were ordered to go to Nanyue and find a way to open up new land. Lingnan, despite its shortcomings, had extremely fertile soil. Anything grown could feed a large population. For them, this was crucial.
The key is that they will be able to attack Dafeng in the future!
A powerful nation like Dafeng would never understand the thinking of a small nation with so few people. After all, Japan was just a small country. The islands were extremely scarce in resources, and productivity was even lower, making it impossible to support a large population. Everyone had to live a tight life, and they were often hit by natural disasters.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes...
Everything you need!
This resulted in heavy casualties among them!
Therefore, they were eager to expand their territory. They wanted to establish overseas colonies and use them to repay their motherland. If they did not do so, Japan would not be able to hold on for long, and their people would live in eternal pain.
"Judging from your expression, I guessed right."
"I know you have a lot of doubts in your mind right now."
"I don't want to waste my breath with you."
"Now the king asks, you answer."
"You can choose not to answer, but I have many methods that are guaranteed to make you live a life worse than death."
Ning Que raised his hand and tightly grasped the ronin's wrist. As he continued to exert force, a creaking sound was heard. The ronin howled in pain, even twisting his body continuously. However, because he was pinned to the ground by the spear, he could not break free.
"You...why didn't you ask?"
"I just want you to experience the pain first, so as to save you from wasting time later." Ning Que waved his hand calmly and continued, "I want to ask you, how many people are there in Minyue now?"
"Six... more than six thousand people!"
"What is your purpose in coming to Lingnan?"
"First, find a way to annex the entire Minyue." The ronin's features were distorted with pain, but he could only continue, "Then we will continue to send heavy troops to Lingnan until the entire region is annexed. Then we will find a way to cooperate with the Chu State and jointly attack Dafeng. After all, the intelligence we have received indicates that you have died in battle, so we still have a chance."
"Oh, it's indeed related to the King of Chu."
Ning Que couldn't help but sneer.
The old fox, the Prince of Chu, was quite cunning. Over the years, he had never directly clashed with Emperor Feng. Whenever there was a problem, he would proactively cut ties. When the Black Tiger Gate incident occurred, he quickly distanced himself from it. He had absolutely no conflict with Emperor Feng, seemingly completely submitting to him.
In reality, quite the opposite. Ning Que had long known that the King of Chu was no ordinary man. Because he had been keeping a low profile for years, he was deliberately pushing the King of Qi to the forefront. Upon meeting the King of Qi, he would constantly flatter him, essentially letting Tian Zhongxun take the lead.
Ning Que hadn't expected the old fox, the King of Chu, to actually choose to collaborate with the Japanese pirates. Didn't he know that the Japanese were all men of wicked ambition, each one a traitor? Even if the King of Chu wanted to collaborate, he could easily support the Western Ou people and use that to annex all of Lingnan. This would only create less resistance and make it easier to succeed.
This operation is simply incomparable...
Ning Que remembered someone previously saying that the King of Chu and Xiou had some connection. Xiou's continued growth over the years was due to the King of Chu's support. Perhaps it was because Xiou hadn't been able to annex Nanyue that the King of Chu was considering collaborating with the Japanese pirates.
Ning Que's eyes were cold.
Hold the other person's fingers and push hard.
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
Fingers were constantly broken and twisted.
The ronin wailed in pain, there was only fear in his pupils at this moment, and he looked at Ning Que with confusion.
"I...I've already told you!"
"Why...why do this to me?"
"Because you are Japanese, you are invaders, and you have murdered innocent civilians. With your beastly behavior, no matter what I do, it will not be excessive. I want to make all of you Japanese know that if anyone dares to set foot on my Kyushu territory, I will make you die in agony!"
A cold light flashed across Ning Que's eyes.
Break his fingers again.
The ronin passed out from the intense pain. However, Ning Que simply raised his hand and pricked his acupuncture points with silver needles, forcing him to stay awake. He then began to continuously crush his bones, eventually killing him with pain...
"Junior brother, what are you doing..."
Gongshu Chou was stunned at this moment.
Ning Que has never been so cruel...
