Chapter 126 Anger
【What's the meaning? 】
Qian Qian was very confused, [Forgotten by Da Xia for many years? ]
[Yes,] the system voice was difficult, [to the southwest of our warship, there are three islands, and the people living on the islands are all Daxia people.]
[Now that Chu is at war with Daxia, the battlefield has actually been at Zhouling Pass, which is closer to Chu. ]
[But this time, the Chu State changed its strategy. They urgently occupied three islands and forcibly conscripted the islanders as the vanguard. ]
[We will take a detour through these three islands and head directly to Nanye City this time. ]
【Nowadays, battles are frequent in Zhouling Pass. 】
[Therefore, all of Daxia's military forces were concentrated there, and the defense of Nanye City was inevitably lax. ]
[Oh,] Qian Qian clenched his fist, [Now that we have discovered it, there is no reason to let it go.]
[However, Tongzi, you said that the people on the three islands are all forgotten by Daxia? ]
【what does it mean? 】
[This,] the system voice was difficult, [It has to start from the founding of Daxia. At that time, wars broke out everywhere, and the people in Daxia’s territory suffered greatly from the war.]
[Some people living near the sea fled to live on those islands to avoid the war.]
[When the war finally ended, the people who had fled to the island thought they could finally go home, but they were turned away by the prince who occupied Nanye City at the time.]
[The reason is that they suspect those people are spies sent by the State of Chu. ]
[Alas, since they couldn't enter the city gate, the people had no choice but to return to the island to live. Sixty years had passed in a flash.]
[Sixty years?]
Qianqian felt very upset and uncomfortable.
[Yes, a full sixty years.]
[They were invaded by Japan for sixty years, and during the most difficult times, the Japanese forced them to learn Japanese.]
[They would rather die than obey, and finally drove the Japanese off the island. ]
[As time went by, they had little hope of returning home, and they never expected the Chu people to threaten their families.]
[Let them drive the warships and attack Daxia. ]
Qian Qian frowned, [How many warships are there? Are there any Chu people on them? ]
[There are ten warships in total, but none of them are from the State of Chu.]
【Oh, that's reassuring.】
The system was angry, [Yeah, these people were sent out to attract fire and die anyway.]
[Tongzi, is there any way to let them know that we welcome them home? ]
[This,] the system thought for a moment, [Daxia has a song about Angelica sinensis.]
[It has been passed down from a hundred years ago to the present day. It is a prayer song used by coastal people to pray for their family members who go out to sea to return safely.]
Qianqian pondered for a while, [Tongzi, do you think it would be okay for us to release Kongming lanterns or river lanterns while singing?]
[Write clearly on the light, we are here to take them home? ]
The system voice suddenly rose, [I think it's okay, Princess, I suggest using a Kongming lantern. ]
[Li Rui has the kind of ink that does not fade when it comes into contact with water, and the kind of paper that is not easily soluble in water.]
Qian Qian nodded and immediately called Ma Dequan, Zhu Yuhu and others.
He talked about the three islands and explained his own arrangements.
Green Screen twisted her handkerchief nervously. It was the first time for her to participate in a meeting so openly. She was really nervous.
After listening to Qian Qian's story, Li Rui lowered his eyes and said, "As for the ink and paper, I have some given by Jun Mo. The ink and paper are waterproof."
【Um? 】
[Tongzi, why did Zhang Junmo give Li Rui waterproof ink and paper? ]
The system laughed, [Haha, that's because Li Rui forgets to eat and sleep when he starts drawing, and often knocks over the teacup at hand.]
[The blueprint he had worked so hard to draw was ruined after being splashed with water, so he asked Zhang Junmo to make waterproof ink and paper.]
【Little princess, you can use it. 】
Qian Qian nodded, "Brother Rui, how much waterproof ink and paper do you have?"
"a lot of."
Li Rui answered confidently that everything he brought this time was waterproof.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Zhu Yuhu spoke carefully, "I dare to ask how Your Highness the Princess knew the situation on the island?"
Qian Qian smiled innocently, "Thanks to my Lin family's secret guards."
She felt a little embarrassed when she thought of this. She was a little anxious this time. She should ask the Lin family's secret guards to investigate the situation in advance.
Dahua scratched her nose. When she heard Qianqian's thoughts, she sent people out.
Ma Dequan looked at the princess. He couldn't treat her like a child now. "Your Highness, I am willing to lead the troops to raid those three islands."
[Tongzi, is it okay? ]
Qian Qian hurriedly asked the system.
[Yes,] the system paused, [the Chu people have not arrived yet, and the main force has only arrived at the three islands in the past few days.]
[Besides, the Chu people don't know that we can predict their actions, so Lord Ma can take advantage of the time difference and catch them off guard.]
Qian Qian nodded, "Uncle Ma, then you will call up the troops later, bring the thunder bomb catapults, and take small boats to raid the three islands."
"Yes."
Ma Dequan bowed in response.
"Okay," Qian Qian stood up and clapped his hands, "In that case, let's start preparing now. We'll sing the Angelica song and fly Kongming lanterns tonight."
"Yes."
Everyone responded in unison.
Zhu Yuhu looked at the princess with an indescribable look in his eyes. He was even more surprised at the people present. How could they all be willing to obey the little princess' orders?
Even Mad listens to her. It's strange because she is just a seven-year-old girl after all.
Although he had doubts in his heart, he would not express them at this time.
The specific matters will be arranged by Green Screen and others.
As the sky gradually darkened, the Great Xia warships were ready, ready to surround the ten Chu warships manned by the islanders at any time under the cover of darkness.
The night at sea is quiet, and the only sound you can hear is the sound of waves hitting the boat.
“Danggui danggui, the waves are roaring, danggui danggui, the seagulls are calling, danggui danggui, don’t cry, danggui danggui, come home, come home…”
The faint song accompanied by the sound of waves came into my ears.
The islanders on the Chu warships listened attentively. Above the starry sky, countless sky lanterns slowly rose.
One by one, Kongming lanterns light up the inky black night sky.
"Acai," someone immediately called the island owner, "Acai, look, look, do you hear the ballad?"
Acai looked up at the night sky, and the sky lanterns accompanied by songs came into his sight.
"How is this going?"
"I don't know. He suddenly appeared. Could he have encountered a sea ghost?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Acai was very sensitive about this, but when he looked at the Kongming lantern, his eyes were full of confusion and uneasiness.
I don't know how long it took, but finally someone came over with some papers.
"Uncle Cai, take a look at this."
The man handed over the wet paper, and Acai took the thing into the cabin.
It is hard to be true to one’s heart. I have been away from home for sixty years, but my accent has not changed. The princes of Nanye City have changed, and now I can go home...
Ah Cai's heart was slightly shaken, as he had no impression of Da Xia at all.
I thought I would never have any contact with them in this life, but these Kongming lanterns were obviously a trick of theirs.
"Acai," someone else brought a few wet pieces of paper.
Acai opened the paper and saw similar words written on it.
His eyes suddenly became bloodshot, his blood boiled, and he tore the paper in his hand into pieces in a few seconds.
Boom, boom, boom...
A huge roar came from the island behind them. Acai and everyone on the warship immediately had red eyes and were filled with anger.
