Chapter 999: The Smoke of the Year

The East China Sea is blue, the tide is repeated, and the wind is turbulent. The woman who put on soft armor again, standing on top of the high-rise ship, the sea breeze blowing her long ink-dyed hair, her eyebrows were clear, but there was a faint loneliness in her heart.

This time, the building boat went to Goryeo County, and she didn't use it. But because of an incident that happened later, she felt a little unusual. So she decided to follow and see for herself.

For more than ten years, in this 10,000-mile sea area, where her flag appeared, no one dared to casually resist orders, let alone do offensive things casually. And the origin of all this authority is not the powerful military power she has, it is because the people on these thousands of islands have received great favors and support from the heart.

Moreover, almost everyone who saw this mighty fleet and the hunting and flying flags knew very well who the supporters of this huge military force were. This woman, who was originally born in the royal family of the Han Dynasty, is inextricably linked to the empire behind her. What's more, she has a deep connection to that world-famous figure.

The entire East China Sea is under her power. Even though she has a nominal affiliation with the Han Dynasty, in fact, everyone knows that she is the queen of the sea.

Such a beautiful and powerful woman has naturally become a legend for a long time. Wherever she appears, thousands of worshippers will look at her from afar, praying that she will bring them more wealth and good luck. In fact, such a prayer will soon be fulfilled. Most notably, all the people who were protected by her maritime power lived a prosperous and stable life.

The queen, who is supported by thousands of people, should have carried countless glorious eyes. But at the end of this autumn, when she felt the change of monsoon, she suddenly felt some inexplicable irritability and sadness. And the direct consequence of this emotion is that she personally embarked on the itinerary of this fleet sortie.

This time, the Lou Ship team dispatched, not so much to inspect the sea area to which it belongs, but to go directly to Xingshi to ask for the guilt. The reason for the incident is simple: a merchant fleet returning from overseas encountered trouble, or rather, a deliberate obstacle, when it docked at the largest wharf in the southern part of Goryeo-gun. It is said that because the cargo on board was different from the amount recorded in the account books, it was forcibly detained by the people who managed the dock. And for unknown reasons, most of the merchants on the ship were also arrested and thrown into prison.

This has never happened before. Angry and angry, some of the merchants who had escaped went to the East China Sea inspection ship that was patrolling the sea, and after explaining the cause and effect, they begged for justice for them.

Several inspectors belonging to the Donghailou ship formation immediately rushed to the dock and demanded to check the facts and find out the truth. However, to everyone's surprise, just after nightfall, the inspection ship parked at the dock suddenly burst into flames, and the inspectors and several merchants on board were all buried in the fire and burned to ashes.

This is naturally a big event that cannot be concealed. The officials of Goryeo County arrived at the scene in the morning to inspect the scene, but they came to a very surprising conclusion. It was just an accident. It was the people on the boat who accidentally started the fire themselves, and the other

People have nothing to do with it. And the results were passed on to the Tokai Inspection Division in the form of documents.

When the chief officer of the inspection department heard this, something was wrong. His subordinates knew that it was absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen. However, this matter involves Goryeo County, and there may be a deeper inside story. They didn't dare to make their own decisions, so they immediately reported it to the royal palace on Yingzhou Island.

And this official document happened to let Liu Shu see it. She had been in a bad mood lately, and on a whim, she immediately ordered the fleet to be dispatched, and she was to personally inspect the territory of the East China Sea. And the direction that went straight was the Goryeo-gun wharf.

The order of the county lord is the king's order, and no one dares to slack off. The majestic warship anchored, and a fleet of seven-story ships and three medium-sized warships cleaved the waves and came from Yingzhou Island to the Goryeo Peninsula.

This fleet, which carried a total of 300 people, was not very powerful. However, in the eyes of these elite soldiers, they are enough to deter any dissenting force. After so many years of operation in the East China Sea, there is no shadow of piracy at all. In addition to merchant ships, the ships that travel in this area are fishing boats. Even if the soldiers want to train their skills with pirates, it is unavoidable. That's why they are so confident and bold to crisscross this sea.

However, they just forgot that the sea is a place where danger can occur at any time, and who could have predicted that they would be greeted with respect and tameness? Or is it a boundless killing machine that has been carefully planned for a long time?!

When the Han army crossed the sea to fight and killed the king of Zhenfan, the peninsula was divided into four counties. Goryeo County is located in the southernmost sea artery, and the wharf there is also the most important passage to and from this sea area to the mainland of the Han Empire. So, you can imagine how busy it is. And it is precisely because of the establishment of this wharf that it has also brought endless wealth to Goryeo County, thus achieving the rise of dozens of wealthy families.

All these details, Liu Shu, who is known as the queen of the sea, naturally knows. She has always been very dismissive of these "nouveau riche", and has always thought that they are just a little bit of money and do not need to be noticed. Of course, the new term "nouveau riche", she had heard someone tell her in a letter she had delivered, and she felt it was very appropriate and vivid. And in that same letter, he also mentioned to her, asking her to pay attention to the movements of these people, and if there are any bad signs of lawlessness, they should be extinguished in time. It's just that this suggestion, but she responded with a sneer, thinking that the higher the position of that guy, the less daring he is!

Thinking of this, Liu Shu, who was standing at the bow of the boat, looked at the blue waves rolling on the sea, and some sour hatred in his heart couldn't help but come up again. That guy only knows that he enjoys gentleness and wealth in Chang'an, I'm afraid he has long forgotten about himself to the clouds! Thinking of her sadness, she stamped her foot vigorously, tore off her wind-swept cloak, and turned back to her cabin with a sigh.

Yeongju Island is not far from Goryeo-gun, and in the second half of the morning, you can already see the outline of the pier in the distance. Zhang Jiu, the general who led the fleet, was the old guard of the palace, and he was naturally loyal. He came in and asked the county lord if the fleet would immediately enter the dock and dock.

"You don't have to reveal who I am. You bring people and that

A few businessmen went directly to the Goryeo County Government to see what the situation was. Then come back and report that I know. ”

Liu Shu's main purpose in going to sea is just to dissipate her mood. She had no interest in dealing with the officials in person. The shrewd Zhang Jiu can handle it completely.

Zhang Jiu nodded and agreed, and went with dozens of people. But it didn't take long for two sergeants to run back in a panic, covered in blood. They brought back a shocking piece of news.

"General Zhang Jiu and the people of the county guard had a disagreement and fought, and the other party detained them all. The two of us fought with our lives to kill the bloody road, and we came to report to the county lord to know! ”

Liu Shu was furious when she heard this. Is this crazy? Without saying a word, she drew her sword and got up, ordered all the people on the ship to be gathered, abandoned the ship and landed ashore, and came to the county guard mansion to ask for the guilt.

The strength of nearly 300 people is all soldiers with sharp armor. What's more, she herself has always been arrogant and never takes others seriously. It also belongs to the Goryeo County Guard Mansion under the Han system, and if she really dares to use force, she doesn't mind giving them an unforgettable lesson.

The county guard's mansion was empty, and the atmosphere was a little unusual. After Liu Shu, who was wearing soft armor, entered in the crowd of soldiers, he immediately felt that something was wrong. But before they could react, they suddenly ambushed the three hundred or so people in a deep-walled compound.

"The county lord is here, what do you want to do...... Do you want to rebel? ”

Looking at the unrecognizable guys who appeared on the steps, the soldiers who had already sensed the danger were coming drew their knives and shouted loudly. It's just that what they got in exchange was a hideous sneer.

"Sure enough, she came...... Hahaha! The big man, who is known as the queen of the East China Sea, is willing to deign to come to this small Goryeo county, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Since we are here, we don't have to leave, we have spent a lot of effort for this moment! ”

Liu Shu, who was protected by the soldiers in the middle, looked up at these unfamiliar faces, most of whom were from the Goryeo tribe. She seemed to have a premonition of something, and did not get angry, but asked calmly.

"Where is Han Jun's guard, why does he connive at your rebellion?"

"County Lord, don't you understand? The current Goryeo County has long since re-become the world of our Goryeo people! As for the officials of the Han Dynasty, their bones were buried in the backyard of this mansion. Those stupid guys have been drunk and dreamed of death under the bribe of money for the past few years...... I'm afraid that I won't even think about how I died until I die! Hahaha! ”

Hearing these rampant smug laughter, Liu Shu and these soldiers all understood. The Koreans are planning to cause chaos, and I am afraid that they will be prepared for a long time. And looking at the strength they have accumulated, it is already very strong. Unless heavy troops are dispatched, it will be difficult to pacify.

"Where is General Zhang Jiu?"

"County Lord, please look up, isn't that row of bloody heads just them?"

Looking at these murderous alien faces, Liu Shu's heart was full of anger, and she suddenly remembered what Yuan Zhao once said to her, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different"!

"All the soldiers obeyed my orders, fought their way out of the encirclement, and returned to Yingzhou...... Order all the warships to go out and come and slaughter Goryeo! ”
