Xiao Zeyu and the others had gone through over a dozen battles these two days. Xiao Zeyu had used his trap tactics to defend the port with a force ten times less than the enemy.

With their experience escaping from famine, they wouldn’t starve to death even if they had no food. The seafood was salty, and they would get thirsty if they overate. However, they didn’t have clean water. Xiao Zeyu and the soldiers had been so thirsty for the past two days that their throats were on fire. Their lips were so dry that they would bleed if they spoke. After the tsunami, the air was scorching. If they continued to be so thirsty, they would lose their ability to fight.

Xiao Zeyu learned from Su Cling’s method of escaping famine, collecting dew on the grass daily. However, that amount of water was like a cup to put out a burning firewood cart for the army, but at least the soldiers would not collapse from thirst.

At this time, Xiao Qi was busy. It had an animal body and was agile. She used that advantage to run to the county town of Japan to steal water and also told her male master the latest movements of the enemy.

Fortunately, Xiao Qi was here. Every time the pirates attacked, it would come back to alert them. Today was the third day after Su Qing left. The leader of the pirates was afraid that a long delay would cause trouble, so he launched a fierce attack. They found someone to break the trap that Xiao Zeyu had set up and rushed towards the high hill where Xiao Zeyu was.

■’Everyone, cheer up and guard the dock. All the soldiers present today will be rewarded according to their contributions when they return.”

Xiao Zeyu pulled out his sword and shouted at the soldiers. Today’s battle would result in heavy casualties. In close combat, the brave would win. He would first let everyone have the opportunity to fight with their lives on the line.

“I swear to live and die defending the dock.”

The morale of the soldiers was raised, and they shouted in unison. The commander’s sword in the pirate leader’s hand fell, and he shouted,

“Kill, leave no one alive.”

He had seen how powerful the Central Plainsmen were, so he gave up on capturing them alive and ordered them to be killed.

“Kill!” Xiao Zeyu shouted.

Xiao Zeyu shouted, “Kill!” and led the charge down. However, before he could reach the hill, he heard the sound of artillery. The shells exploded among the pirates, and the pirates in front were blasted into the sky.

The Xiao Family’s army was unstoppable, charging into the palace and killing all the remaining Japanese pirates. They had returned all the property the Japanese pirates had taken from the Central Plains.

After this search, they discovered how many good things the small nation had stolen from the Central Plains.

The news that Japan faced ruin for displeasing the Great Tang spread swiftly. As Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing anticipated, the nations that had taken control of the cities in the Central Plains promptly returned them to the Great Tang, eager to avoid military confrontation with Xiao Zeyu’s forces. These nations also wanted to maintain a lasting friendship with the Great Tang.

The destruction of Japan brought ten years of peace to the Great Tang!

After Xiao Zeyu fought this battle, he returned to the court. When he was away, his grandfather and father-in-law, Su Hanxuan, handled the court affairs together.

Su Hanxuan was a novice official, while Qin Feng was an old official in the imperial court. It was straightforward for him to handle government affairs. Upon his return to the palace, Xiao Zeyu’s first action was to find Su Qing and express his concerns about her recent actions.

“Qing’er, have you been too reckless? Don’t you realize how precious our child is?” he asked, his tone filled with gentleness and stern concern.

He had been apprehensive about the safety of both Qing’er and their unborn child, to the point of neglecting his duties and pursuing her.

“I admit I was wrong,” Su Qing acknowledged, understanding the gravity of her actions.

Though she had succeeded in her mission, it was fraught with danger, and she had risked never seeing Xiao Zeyu or her parents again, and their child might have been lost.

Realizing the severity of the situation, she sincerely apologized, regardless of Xiao Zeyu’s anger.

■■No, I must have someone watch over you. You’ve worried me too much,” Xiao Zeyu insisted, still concerned despite her apologetic stance.

He felt that the usual palace staff couldn’t effectively supervise her.

“Are you going to keep an eye on me?” Su Qing questioned, finding his measures a bit excessive.

“Yes, until the baby is born, you shouldn’t leave the palace. I’ll ensure you have everything and spend time with you when I’m here. I can even arrange for an opera troupe to entertain you,” Xiao Zeyu proposed, showing his dedication to her well-being.

-Who will you choose to watch over me?” Su Qing inquired, curious about his plans for her supervision..
