If they had known that Gu Lili could understand, they would never have dared to say anything more.
"What...what do you want to do, Your Excellency?" Wu Qishi stammered.
Seeing the unfriendly looks from Gu Lili and the other two, Wu Qishi and Zhen Dejian broke out in a cold sweat.
"Lord Yamamoto, what should we do?" Zhen Dejian asked Wu Qishi in Japanese.
The two felt they couldn't understand the Japanese language, so they openly communicated in it.
"Guess what we're going to do!" Gu Lili said in fluent Japanese.
Zhen Dejian and Wu Qishi were shocked. They never expected that Gu Lili could speak their language.
So, Gu Lili heard their entire conversation just now.
Even Chang'an and Li Ershu were surprised by Gu Lili.
Especially Li Ershu, Gu Lili had never traveled far from home, so how could she possibly chatter along with these two in their hometown dialect?
After Gu Lili finished speaking, she gave Chang'an a wink, and Chang'an and Li Tiansheng immediately grabbed the two of them.
Gu Lili took out a rope from her sleeve, and the three of them worked together to tie up Zhen Dejian and the other man.
After tying the two of them up, Gu Lili stepped forward and took their wooden bucket.
Sure enough, it was filled with golden apple snails.
"Lili, isn't this an apple snail? Did these two put the apple snails in the field?" Chang'an asked curiously, looking at the apple snails.
No wonder Gu Lili wanted him to subdue the two people in front of her.
If these two people really released the harmful golden apple snails, even punishing their entire family would be too lenient.
It is important to understand the importance of food to a country.
These two are practically hiding their true intentions.
Gu Lili nodded and explained to Chang'an and Li Ershu, "These apple snails weren't just released by the two of them; they were also planning to destroy our Nanyue Kingdom!"
As Gu Lili spoke, she raised her foot and kicked Wu Qishi in the calf.
Wu Qishi cried out in pain.
"Why do you know the language of our Fusang Kingdom? Are you also from our Fusang Kingdom?" Zhen Dejian asked cautiously.
If Gu Lili is from the Southern Yue Kingdom, then they should be safe.
However, since their emperor was able to capture the people from Nanyue Kingdom and bring them to Fusang, and then teach them the language of Nanyue Kingdom.
Conversely, the Southern Yue Kingdom would certainly capture their people as well.
If it was the latter, Zhen Dejian dared not think any further.
If it's the latter, I'm afraid I'll never see the cherry blossoms bloom in my hometown again...
When asked this question, Zhen Dejian used the Nanyue dialect.
Therefore, Chang'an and Li Ershu heard it clearly.
Chang'an may have lost her memory because she didn't know what Fusang was, but Li Ershu did.
Many years ago, the Kingdom of Nanyue fought a war with the Kingdom of Fusang. The Kingdom of Fusang invaded the territory of Nanyue and committed all kinds of atrocities, including burning, killing, and looting.
Fortunately, the War King of that year, who is also the current Emperor's father, led the soldiers of the Southern Yue Kingdom and drove them out of the country in one fell swoop.
Grandpa had told them this story since they were little.
Make him remember that the people of Fusang are no good.
In recent decades, the Kingdom of Nanyue has been strong and prosperous, so there has been no news of the Kingdom of Fusang invading.
If his grandfather hadn't told him, Li Ershu might not have known that such a country existed.
Gu Lili was furious when she saw Zhen Dejian's lewd expression.
"Pah! I'm a true man of Nanyue, how could I be a Japanese pirate! Go to hell!"
Gu Lili spat fiercely at Zhen Dejian's face, cursing as she spoke.
Daring to call me trash, you're practically asking for death!
Neither Li Ershu nor Chang'an had seen Gu Lili's fiery temper, and their mouths gaped open in surprise.
It's no wonder Gu Lili was angry; her hatred for the Japanese was ingrained in her very being.
Not just Gu Lili, I believe many people are like this.
Li Ershu assumed that Li Xihua's reaction was so intense because she had told Gu Lili about the evil deeds committed by the Japanese when Gu Lili was a child.
Little did he know that Gu Lili's emotional breakdown was caused by a combination of old and new grudges.
Zhen Dejian's hands were tied, and he could only let Gu Lili's saliva slide down his face.
Judging from Gu Lili's behavior, the two of them are definitely in grave danger.
The two of them instantly became listless and could no longer speak.
I was really careless today. Who would have thought that there would be someone who understands Japanese in this desolate place?
"Chang'an, Second Uncle, let's go back to Donghai Town!" Gu Lili said to Chang'an and the other man.
Li Ershu was puzzled. If these two were spies from an enemy country, they could have been sent to any government office in a nearby town. Why bother taking them all the way to Donghai Town?
This is too much trouble.
Chang'an guessed Gu Lili's thoughts, but didn't ask. He turned around and went to drive the carriage.
"Lili, why are we turning back?" Li Ershu asked.
We've already walked for almost three hours; turning back now would just be a waste of time.
Gu Lili smiled and said, "Second Uncle, the magistrate of Donghai Town has helped me many times. Naturally, we should give this opportunity for promotion and wealth to Magistrate Yang."
If it weren't for Magistrate Yang's selfless dedication, she wouldn't have been able to become the head of the village.
Gu Lili believes that people should be grateful and repay kindness in order to go further in life.
Li Ershu immediately understood Gu Lili's intention and turned around to help Chang'an drive the carriage.
While Chang'an and Li Ershu were busy, Gu Lili raised her foot and kicked them hard.
Hearing the two people's screams, Chang'an felt a chill run down his spine.
In his memory, Gu Lili was always gentle and kind, but Chang'an felt that this feisty Gu Lili was even more charming.
With the carriage ready, Chang'an looked at Gu Lili, who was panting heavily from kicking, and walked towards her with a gourd filled with water.
"Come on, Lili, have a drink before you keep playing. You look exhausted," Chang'an said gently.
Chang'an's words made Gu Lili feel a little embarrassed. Now that she had vented a lot of her anger, Gu Lili had calmed down.
These two will probably be sent to the capital for interrogation by the authorities there.
If I were kicked and injured, and didn't make it to the capital, that would be terrible.
Gu Lili took the water, drank a few sips, and said, "Stop kicking them. Let's put them on the carriage and get going."
Chang'an nodded, and he and Li Ershu each took one and got into the carriage.
The carriage was spacious enough, but there was no need to be polite to the prisoners.
Comfort and such were not even on Gu Lili's and the others' minds.
If she weren't afraid the two of them would be dragged to their deaths, Gu Lili would have really wanted to tie them up and run them along the back of the carriage.
Once Gu Lili was settled, the carriage sped off along the same route they had come from.
