Chapter 175 Deploying Troops, Marquis of Zhenxi
Two days later.
Liu Feng returned.
"Your Highness, this is the confession left by the Lord of Haifeng City, as well as the letters he hid."
Liu Feng handed a thick stack of documents to Qin Wu.
After Qin Wu took it, he opened the confession and began to read it. He finished reading it quickly and then started reading the letters.
I finished reading them all in no time.
"Ha, a mere fourth-rank official has accomplished so much. If he were promoted, he would be a great scourge to our Eastern Qin."
"He's gotten quite a bit done over the years!"
"Send someone to inform the Marquis of Zhenxi to bring his troops over."
After reading the letter, Qin Wu couldn't help but sneer.
The people he hated most in his life were traitors, and the Lord of Haifeng City had completely run into Qin Wu's hands.
He would find it difficult to die even if he wanted to.
Moreover, based on the information obtained from the letters that Liufeng just brought over.
This Haifeng City is almost becoming a stronghold of the Japanese in Dongqin. If it's in a few more years, this place will probably be Japanese territory.
However, there is still time. He needs to clear out all the Japanese people here first.
This debt must be recorded against Japan. Once he is ready, he will teach Japan a lesson they will never forget.
"Yes."
Liu Feng accepted the order without asking any further questions and turned to leave.
After Liu Feng left, a murderous intent flashed in Qin Wu's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
The next few days were peaceful, as if nothing had happened.
However, the entire Sea Breeze City was in an uproar, with many people actually celebrating the elimination of the Sea Breeze City Lord and his family, a scourge of the city.
No one hates the Lord of Seawind City and his family more than the people of Seawind City.
However, in the past, none of them dared to show it, and it wasn't that no one hadn't thought of killing this family.
However, they never succeeded. Some people even hired hitmen, but they still couldn't get rid of the family. In the end, they could only swallow their anger.
But now, the Divine Martial King has suddenly issued an edict, taking the lives of this entire family.
It can be said that Qin Wu's name is now like a living bodhisattva in Haifeng City. Many people have even set up longevity tablets for Qin Wu in their homes and worship and pray for him every day.
Qin Wu couldn't help but smile speechlessly when he heard the news.
Many people in Dongqin secretly called him a madman, a serial killer, a god of death, a demon, and so on...
But this is the first time that Qin Wu has been called a living bodhisattva.
Because of this nickname, Jiang Pingle and the other girls teased Qin Wu for several days.
In the end, Qin Wu punished the women speechlessly, keeping them bedridden for several days. Only after the women begged for mercy did Qin Wu happily let them go.
The girls no longer dared to tease Qin Wu as a living bodhisattva.
"Your Highness, the Marquis of Zhenxi has arrived."
Yu Shu entered the study and reported to Qin Wu.
"Let him in."
Qin Wu gave the order, still looking at the intelligence gathered by his secret guards over the past few days.
"Meet the prince."
Marquis Zhenxi entered the study in full military attire.
"Please sit down, Yushu, and serve tea."
Qin Wu did not look up; he continued writing something in his hand.
Seeing this, the Marquis of Zhenxi knew that Qin Wu was busy, so he did not disturb him and quietly sat aside to enjoy his tea.
After waiting for half an hour, Qin Wu finally stopped writing and put down his pen.
Only then did he look up at the Marquis of Zhenxi.
"Marquis of Zhenxi, have you brought the troops I ordered you to mobilize?"
Qin Wu inquired.
"Your Highness, I received the news and mustered 50,000 troops to come here. I don't know if that's enough. If it's not, I will immediately send a message back to gather a larger army."
The Marquis of Zhenxi replied immediately.
After receiving Qin Wu's order, although he wondered why Qin Wu had suddenly mobilized troops, he did not dare to delay and personally led his troops to the scene.
He also wanted to meet this legendary prince.
He had only learned about this man's methods through correspondence with his family before.
When he came in just now, this person gave him a feeling that was completely different from what was described in the letter. He even gave him the feeling that he was an unparalleled young master.
He even began to doubt whether this was really the legendary ruthless and merciless mad prince.
"No need, 50,000 troops are enough, just come over here."
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he got up and went to the side room.
Upon seeing this, the Marquis of Zhenxi immediately followed.
Upon entering the side room, the Marquis of Zhenxi realized that this was no side room at all! It was more like the commander's tent in a military camp.
Especially the huge sand table in the middle; if you didn't know better, you'd think it was for troop deployment.
Qin Wu ignored them and went straight to a huge map.
After being shocked, the Marquis of Zhenxi hurried over.
"This is a map of the area under the jurisdiction of Sea Breeze City. Do you see the marked areas?"
Qin Wu didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
After hearing Qin Wu's words, Marquis Zhenxi immediately looked at the map, where several villages and towns in the coastal area were marked.
He had some doubts about why he was marking these things.
Without hesitation, he replied directly, "I see them. Is there anything different about these parts?"
The Marquis of Zhenxi voiced his doubts.
"Take your troops and wipe out these villages and towns for me."
Qin Wu said coldly.
Marquis Zhenxi was completely dumbfounded, thinking he had misheard.
Those are the people of Dongqin. To wipe them out? What is the Divine Martial King trying to do?
“These villages and towns no longer have any people from Dongqin; they are all inhabited by Japanese.”
Seeing that the Marquis of Zhenxi was in a daze, Qin Wu knew what he was thinking. In order to put the Marquis of Zhenxi at ease, Qin Wu told him the reason directly.
After all, the Marquis of Zhenxi may still need to lead troops to guard Haifeng City to defend against the Japanese.
"Japanese country?"
Marquis Zhenxi had never heard of this country.
It's not really his fault; there really wasn't such a kingdom near Dongqin.
He had no idea where it came from; he had never even heard of it.
"Yes, they are from an island nation in the Western Sea. They have been secretly lurking in Eastern Qin for decades and are now preparing to take action against the coast of Eastern Qin by plundering here."
"These villages and towns are the result of their decades of operation."
Qin Wu explained again, and then went to the desk and handed a document to the Marquis of Zhenxi.
Let the Marquis of Zhenxi see for himself.
Marquis Zhenxi was somewhat taken aback. An island nation from the Western Sea?
How did they manage to create a kingdom in the Western Sea?
It should be noted that even the mighty Eastern Qin had never entered the Western Sea. It's not that they never entered the Western Sea, but rather that none of those who went there ever returned alive.
To the people of Dongqin, the Western Sea was a sea of death.
How could he not be shocked to suddenly hear that it came from a country in the Western Sea?
Most importantly, this country even wanted to plunder their coastal areas of Eastern Qin.
After receiving the intelligence from Qin Wu, the Marquis of Zhenxi finally came to his senses and quickly read it. After he finished reading it, he was even more shocked.
He hadn't noticed the Japanese army's elaborate schemes in the area he was guarding for so long, and they even killed several villagers on his territory, pretending to be from the Eastern Qin. This was an immense humiliation for him.
"Your Highness, when shall we make our move?"
Marquis Zhenxi no longer hesitated; he only wanted to erase this humiliation as soon as possible.
"Let's make our move tomorrow! By the way, the Prince of Wei and the Prince of Ming are hiding in these villages. I want you to capture them alive and bring them back to the capital to be punished."
Qin Wu then gave further instructions.
Now that he had obtained evidence against King Wei and King Ming, he didn't want to waste any more time.
Now we can take action against them.
Previously, relying solely on his men here couldn't guarantee a 100% success rate in capturing the two.
Now that the Marquis of Zhenxi's army has arrived, he is no longer worried.
With a large army holding back the people around the two, it wouldn't be difficult for his men to take them down.
Marquis Zhenxi was stunned again. King Wei and King Ming were also there? And they were hiding in these Japanese strongholds?
How could this be? Could it be that the information about the Divine Martial King is incorrect?
In such a short time, Qin Wu has already given him far too many shocks.
"There is no doubt that the real King Wei and King Ming are long dead. They are imposters. I have come here in person for the sake of them."
"Alright, I've told you everything you need to know. The rest is not for you to know. Go and make the arrangements!"
After Qin Wu offered one explanation, he said no more.
He was afraid that if he didn't explain this sentence, the Marquis of Zhenxi wouldn't dare to take action when he encountered him.
His men are currently unsure of the two men's exact location; they have been unable to pinpoint their exact location since they entered the area.
Therefore, he cannot possibly meet 100% of the people he needs, nor does he have that many people to arrange.
After all, there are only so many elite guards; the rest of the spies aren't very strong.
"Yes, I will finally understand."
Marquis Zhenxi was already somewhat numb with shock and no longer asked any further questions.
After all, this is a matter for the royal family. He already knows enough. If he knew more, the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion would probably be unable to contain it.
"Go! Come back to see me after you've resolved this. I have other plans for you."
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he waved for the Marquis of Zhenxi to leave.
"I will retire at the end."
Although the Marquis of Zhenxi had doubts and didn't know what the Divine Martial King's plans were, he didn't ask any further questions.
After bowing, he withdrew immediately.
