Chapter 1390: Chapter 1390: Returning the favor in kind

Under the moonlight, Ji Wanrong called Long Fei to the dock outside the city.

She walked ahead, with Long Fei following behind, frowning and asking, "Didn’t we just come here during the day? Why again?"

Ji Wanrong sighed and said, "Just received a secret report, Yi Zhongcheng from the Governor’s Mansion is causing trouble again, planning to have the Sima Family’s Vanguard Army requisition this dock, saying it’s for pirate suppression drills."

"You’re worried about this?"

Long Fei chuckled.

Ji Wanrong turned back to ask him, "We are dealing with water bandits right now, and I don’t want to create trouble with the Great Xia Army. But the old fox Yi Zhongcheng just won’t let me have some peace. We’ve done such a good job keeping secrets, yet he still sniffed out a hint from the dock’s renovations. Tell me, isn’t this something to worry about?"

Long Fei comforted her, "Sooner or later, we’ll have to tear it open. If we don’t give them a lesson, they will just push their luck further. Since they have already made a move, let’s counter them by announcing earlier this is a military exercise zone. If they dare come, we’ll sink and destroy them all."

Ji Wanrong had the same intention but was unsure about the extent of the water forces Long Fei could mobilize.

She told Long Fei, "The Sima Family’s Vanguard Army has over ten thousand naval soldiers and a thousand-ton warships. Are you sure we can defeat them at one blow?"

"Of course."

Long Fei confidently tapped her nose, assuringly replied, "Trust me, three days later when the army arrives, these old feudal lords will know the terrifying power of the Empire Fleet."

Ji Wanrong blushed a bit, shocked by Long Fei’s boldness, daring to use such an intimate gesture to touch her nose.

She is after all Her Royal Highness The Princess, a noble woman, never allowing a man to touch her like this.

Long Fei also felt somewhat awkward; the habitual actions developed from Lin Yingying and Wang Xiaoya stayed with him.

He swiftly changed the topic, looked up at the moon, shrugged his shoulders, saying, "The moonlight is nice tonight!"

"Yes, quite nice."

Ji Wanrong kneaded her fingers, stayed silent for a while, seeing Long Fei no longer speaking, feeling some hidden disappointment, said, "The wind on the shore is strong, let’s head back to the mansion."

Long Fei also intended to leave, feeling tense being with this wife in name.

He took Ji Wanrong back, opened a jar of fine wine in his room, and started drinking while looking at the moon.

Lin Shanshan soon entered, hugging a pillow and blanket, before Long Fei got to say anything, she flung the pillow and blanket onto Long Fei’s bed, clapped her hands, "Alright, staying here tonight!"

Long Fei almost choked on his drink, glared at her, "Don’t mess around, go back to your room."

Lin Shanshan poured herself a drink, took a sip, wiped her mouth, and said, "I’m not going back, my sister said to take care of me while she’s here. I’m scared to be here alone, why not sleep in your room?"

Long Fei laughed, "Seems like your sister told you not to come, but you insisted on following me in?"

Lin Shanshan muttered, "I don’t care, anyway the pillow and blanket are here, if you don’t want, toss me and the blanket out."

She went to the bed, made a spot for herself, took off her shoes, and dove in.

Long Fei was also amused, what does it mean to have such a grown girl sleep on his bed.

He held the wine pot, helplessly shook his head, "Alright, you sleep on the bed, I’ll drink the wine and keep an eye on you, fine?"

Lin Shanshan’s eyes curved, "Staying up late isn’t good for health, some say it leads to kidney energy deficiency, infertility."

Long Fei ignored her, what sister-in-law curses the brother-in-law like this.

Lin Shanshan pouted, asked him, "Honestly, what did you and the princess do just now? Why did she come back flustered and blushing?"

"Did she?"

Long Fei concealed his guilty conscience.

Lin Shanshan said, "Of course, as a woman, I understand a woman’s mind better than you. Any change in Her Royal Highness The Princess can’t escape my keen eyes."

Long Fei laughed, "You’re smart, okay? Go to sleep, don’t disturb my drinking."

Lin Shanshan deliberately sighed, turned over, laid flat, exposed a long white leg, kicked it upward, reciting, "What is love in this world, it makes people restless."

Long Fei looked at her, felt a headache, couldn’t peacefully enjoy his drink.

He placed the wine jar down, simply sat on the floor, closed his eyes, meditating.

Lin Shanshan felt bored, watched him for a while, sniffed her nose and fell asleep.

At dawn, suddenly someone came calling from outside, "Consort Prince, something happened, Her Royal Highness The Princess wants you to come over to the main hall to discuss!"

Long Fei opened his eyes, immediately got up and went out.

Lin Shanshan opened her eyes momentarily, pulled up the blanket, continued to sleep.

Her laziness didn’t allow her to get up before the sun shines on her rear.

In the discussion hall, Ji Wanrong held the secret report, pacing inside the room.

As soon as Long Fei entered, she handed him the secret report saying, "A message from the Liuu Family, the old scoundrel Sima really sent naval soldiers towards the dock, seems he’s truly trying to seize the dock."

"If he dares take action, we can’t tolerate this anymore."

Long Fei wasn’t afraid of the Sima Family’s actions, he feared they wouldn’t act.

He immediately called Wang Xun from outside, letting him lead a battalion to the dock.

No need to do anything, just announce onshore that the Liuu Family’s dock is requisitioned by the Prefecture Princess Mansion, no one should come over, or severe punishment will follow.

Wang Xun trained an army of over ten thousand for a month, his hands were itching.

As soon as Long Fei instructed, he promptly led a battalion over.

A group of people, all wearing the nanotechnology special metallic battle suits of the Yin Yang Sect, light and soft, with automatic temperature control adapting to climate changes.

They marched on foot, made their way through the city.

The crowd on the streets were amazed, looking at them like staring at aliens, never seen such attire.

A bunch of soldiers, seemingly like metal people.

Full of killing intent, icy cold, completely different from past soldiers.

When Wang Xun reached the dock, he led his soldiers to fire a shot into the air, the crackling sound echoed like thunder, startling the birds and beasts, creating chaos.

He gathered essential qi, shouted loudly, "Commandery Princess has ordered, two days later the army departs, requisitioning the Liuu Family’s dock. This place will become a military base for pirate suppression; anyone without proper orders must not dock here, violators will be killed."

Everyone clicked their tongues, wondering if it’s necessary to announce so ceremoniously for just requisitioning a dock.

It was their first time witnessing the new soldiers from the Prefecture Princess Mansion, they felt something odd, seemingly different from all armies they had seen before.

While the crowd was bustling, the Vanguard Army’s thousand warships came overwhelmingly.

Having not been too far away, they naturally heard what Wang Xun said.

However, the general leading the navy didn’t heed Wang Xun’s words, still waved the flag letting the warships quickly enter the port, turned his eyes, gazing contemptuously at Wang Xun, loudly declared, "Great Xia Army’s Great General Sima Yuan orders, to eradicate water bandits, specifically requisitioning the Liuu Family’s dock as a military exercise area. Anyone daring to interfere will be killed."

His voice just fell, soldiers on water and land immediately glared at each other, with rising ire, full of killing intent.
