Whether Ma Rong is happy or not, Li Chang'an has no idea.
Since Yang Wenguang came to Fujian, there have been no more incidents of Japanese pirates plundering the people.
Yang Wenguang erected clearing walls along the coast, fearing that some people would be arrested.
He knew very well that in the Marquis's eyes, the common people were more important than anything else.
With Zhang Xianzong's help, there were virtually no Japanese pirates able to set foot on Ming Dynasty soil.
After all, this Confucian scholar was very subservient to Li Chang'an.
But elsewhere, they strike with full force.
Even if the Japanese pirates brought out half of their best fighters, along with the three admirals of the navy, they were not confident they could capture him.
Only by joining forces with top experts from other countries could they have a chance to ambush and kill this Confucian sage.
Having lost the slaves and women they had plundered, they could only vent their bestiality on the little fairies of the Heaven and Earth Society.
Yang Wenguang could stop the Japanese pirates from kidnapping people, but he couldn't stop the fairy from delivering goods to his door.
Sometimes, when they were discovered, these little fairies would even draw their swords against each other, fearing that others would break up their happiness, and they injured many soldiers.
Therefore, Yang Wenguang was helpless in this matter and could only let them do as they pleased.
It's hard to reason with a damned devil.
Li Chang'an didn't blame him. Putting aside the facts, were they without fault?
After all, they went there willingly to offer themselves.
Now, their dream has come true.
Moreover, even courtesans know to charge money, yet these people still ask their families for money, wanting to serve and support these foreigners.
Compared to courtesans, they were still somewhat inferior.
Most of the women in brothels had gambling fathers, sick mothers, young brothers, and sensible women.
If I don't help this kind of person, who will?
So Li Chang'an sat in his chair fishing, looking at the starry sky, and felt completely at ease.
While he was fishing, Chen Jinnan, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, was also fishing.
Sitting next to him was Bai Zhishan from the Heaven and Earth Society. People in the martial arts world only knew him as Mr. Cui; no one knew his true identity.
Two burly men stood behind them, one on the left and one on the right.
These two are Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu, both members of the Heaven and Earth Society.
"It seems that Lord Wang is not coming back."
Mr. Cui looked at the water and spoke softly.
Chen Jinnan closed his eyes and shook his head: "I advised them not to get involved with the Japanese pirates, but unfortunately no one listened."
"Here, at most you'll sell your body and be happy; everyone gets what they want."
"But they insisted on getting on someone else's boat, and getting on that boat is easy, but getting off is difficult."
Mr. Cui smiled and said, "Chief Chen, you are really cruel. If you hadn't brainwashed these women every few days, telling them that the outside world is a paradise, who would like those shorty people?"
"They won't rush to their deaths."
Chen Jinnan glanced at him and said calmly, "Mr. Cui, don't forget, this idea came from you. When it comes to cruelty, who can compare to you, the ruthless Cui Wenhe?"
Mr. Cui did not speak. Although he came up with the idea, it was Chen Jinnan who implemented it.
Thinking of this, Cui Wenhe couldn't help but chant "Amitabha Buddha," hoping that those wronged souls would find their way back to him, that their debts would be settled and their grievances would be forgiven.
If you're looking for someone, look for your beloved Chief Chen.
He had just finished chanting the Buddhist mantra when he saw Chen Jinnan lift his fishing rod, which, with some water droplets still clinging to it, swish it toward a corner.
In the corner, a man in black dodged the water droplets but couldn't avoid the fishhook, which pierced his leg.
Chen Jinnan's hand trembled, and the fishing hook was pulled back, bringing with it a leg.
The man in black let out a muffled groan and quickly took out the medicinal powder, sprinkling it on his thigh.
Just as the Black and White Impermanence were about to make a move, Chen Jinnan waved his hand to stop them.
"Everyone says Japanese ninjutsu is unpredictable and mysterious, but I didn't expect it to be this simple?"
Mr. Cui watched with great interest as the black-clad ninja stopped the bleeding and treated the wound, showing no surprise whatsoever.
He knew it the moment the ninja walked in.
He was just too lazy to do it; after all, murder and arson are things that offend the natural order.
The ninja in black stopped the bleeding, slowly exhaled, and then cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Jinnan.
"Chief Chen, Lord Okamura asked me to inform you that in the next few days, the Eight-Nation Alliance is preparing to launch a surprise attack on the border camp, aiming to kill Yang Wenguang and the Confucian sage in one fell swoop."
"The specific timing of the operation will be determined by the signal at that time. Please remember our alliance, Chief Chen."
Chen Jinnan did not respond to him, but continued fishing.
His nonchalant demeanor made the black-clad ninja grit his teeth, but he dared not say anything more and could only drag himself backward.
After he left, Cui Wenhe asked, "Are you really planning to attack the Ming Dynasty together with these Japanese pirates?"
"Although the imperial court is our enemy, doing such a thing will likely leave us with a lasting infamy."
"No matter how much brothers turn against each other, they can't collude with outsiders."
Chen Jinnan looked at the fishing rod with a strange smile on his face.
"Attack the Ming Dynasty? Who would win?"
"The one who truly rules the Ming Dynasty now is not that good-for-nothing Emperor Jianyuan."
"With the Imperial Tutor Li Chang'an in charge of the capital, who would dare to make a move?"
"In this world, whoever shows their face will be the first to die."
"Do you really think that those few useless Japanese can defeat the Confucian sages?"
"Even if they get ashore, they probably won't stay for more than a few days."
"Our regent just doesn't want to make a move. If he really does, the entire world combined wouldn't be enough to kill him with a single sword strike."
