Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 85 - Naha Harbor

Ke Xijia was an outstanding captain. After the Luck had safely passed through the storm, he had used his sextant and other precise measurement equipment. The merchant ship had quickly found its position and its route had been repaired quickly. After a day and night of sailing, the outline of the distant Naha Harbor entrance had already appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Everyone, quickly come look. That's that Ba, we have finally arrived at the city where the Ryukyu Kingdom's capital is …" Xiao Letian looked at the gigantic island in the distance, the busy harbor, and the seagulls dancing in the sky.

Lucky was slowly approaching the dock. Before the merchant ship landed, countless docks workers and merchants had already blocked the way to the upper and lower decks. It was not easy for them to earn a living on the docks. They would have nothing to eat if they did not fight for it.

Xiao Letian looked down at the crowded scenery below him. The people dressed in Ming Dynasty and Japan were shouting at the merchant ships with all their might, the crappy English, Minnan language and the various dialects in the south of the river mixed together. The Japanese's chattering sounds also joined together to form a unique symphony.

There was a Han suit here, there were no braids, there were Chinese characters here, and there were no sounds of servants bowing and scraping. The Han people's legacy was protected here, and an indescribably comfortable feeling permeated Xiao Letian's entire body.

When Captain Ke Xijia regretfully indicated that his cargo cabin was already full and that Laiba was only here to replenish fresh water and to repair things conveniently, the merchants that surrounded them all left. There were only a few craftsmen and dock workers left, preparing to transport fresh water and food for Lucky.

Reaching this point, Xiao Letian and Ke Xijia had to separate. The Lucky would only stay there for a day, after a simple repair, they would hurry back to Europe.

Xiao Letian's guards quickly gathered on the deck. With more than thirty Musketeers leading, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun and the remaining thirty odd Taibai Top soldiers led by the Dragon Lord, the small troop of sixty odd people finally stepped onto the foreign land in an orderly fashion.

After all, Na Ba was a well-known port that had existed for hundreds of years. For the people who had lived here for a long time, their horizons were very wide. This group of people stood at the dock, and it was like an invisible aura was blowing in all directions.

Almost subconsciously, those merchants shrank back. No one dared to go up and start a conversation. However, at every corner of the pier, Japanese Rangers who were drinking sake s stared at this small army vigilantly.

Although the Japan was under the control of the Tsurukawa's Palace and looked peaceful on the surface, it was just an illusion. In the eyes of the citizens of Japan, there had never been a stop to the uprising of farmers and rogue people for hundreds of years. Adding to that, since ancient times, Japan had a tradition of revolting by religious figures.

They could smell a familiar scent, a killing intent that came from killing countless of people. This was a special energy that only the Veterans of the Hundred Wars s could sense. The Lang people knew that this group of silent people was absolutely terrifying. The aura they exuded was even comparable to that of the generals of large families.

Very quickly, a few lackeys left the pier, Xiao Letian knew that these people were going to spread the news, but he did not care, since he had stepped into the Ryukyu's territory, Xiao Letian was already mentally prepared to fight against the Japanese.

The small troop gathered at the pier, and not even fifteen minutes had passed, and from afar, a group of men with dishevelled hair rushed over, each one of them dressed in the typical attire of the Ming Dynasty, with a big black man leading the group. Seeing that there was a young man standing beside Shi Dakai with a change in appearance, he could guess who it was with a turn of his eyes.

"Lord Shi is here …" Military Advisor on... Subordinate Liang Kun greets Master … " The big black man named Liang Kun half knelt on the ground and performed a standard military salute. Behind him, more than ten robust men also kneeled on the ground, and the following people greeted Xiao Letian with respect.

"This is the Liang Kun that I told you about. Back then, a deputy general in the Kingdom of Heaven was an upright and unscrupulous person, and although he was only a deputy general, that is because he did not want to flatter Shangguan Ru. Liang Kun, the Heavenly King really made you feel wronged when he transferred you away from me … "

Hearing Shi Dakai's apologetic words, Liang Kun scratched his head and said, "What are you saying? Those years I worked with Master Shi were the most comfortable days for me. No need to slaughter the city, no need to rob the citizens, and even more so, no need to bully women … In the years that followed, life became more and more miserable. I've already said this before, if you continue messing around, the Heavenly Kingdom will definitely lose. How about you take a look now? "

Xiao Letian started laughing when he heard it, no wonder this big mouth of his had such great achievements, becoming a deputy general and ending the battle just like that, he truly did not understand the ways of the world.

"Get up, what a big man. Where shall we settle? I'll have a drink with you at noon … " Just as he was talking, the sound of clogs striking the ground came from an alley near the pier. Ye Zichen looked over and saw that it was a bunch of perverts walking out from it.

As soon as this group of ferocious looking wavemen appeared, the nearby dockworkers and merchants quickly dodged them, each and every one of them was scared to the point of turning pale.

"E Balang is here... Oh my god, E Balang is here … " There were shouts and cries, and the pier suddenly became quiet. They were indeed a group of ferocious vagabond people, all of them with half their shoulders exposed, strong arms exposed, a handful of Katana at their waist, and a handful of costal deviation s.

The long Katana chopped at the enemy, while the short costal deviation stabbed themselves. The Japanese martial arts path was like this, it was as cruel to the enemy as it was to itself. Death was as beautiful as the withering of cherry blossoms, and it was worth pursuing.

In the sound of clogs, more than two hundred Japanese Rangers s closed in on Xiao Letian and the others. The one in the lead, the pervert called E Balang, stood in front of Xiao Letian as the crisscrossing scars on his face trembled due to his muscles. The cruel light in his eyes was not something that humans could have.

"Qing Guo Nu …" The moment E Balang opened his mouth, Liang Kun glared at him and stood out to scold loudly, "Who are you scolding, you bastard? You dare to say that again? " After which, he prepared to make his move.

Unexpectedly, E Balang had retreated half a step to dodge Liang Kun's attack, and said with a cold smile: "Liang Sang, you're not my opponent, whether it's in terms of sword dao or manpower, you're all inferior to me, I won't meaninglessly compete with you, I'm here to look for the person behind you, get out of the way …"

Xiao Letian reached out his hand and pulled Liang Kun to the side, laughing while looking at the short and sturdy Japanese Rangers in front of him. I really didn't expect that Japanese would recognize me. I'm all ears, let's see what you can say … "

E Balang put his feet together and bowed slightly: "I know that you are Master of Western Studies Xiao Letian from Qing Nation, and I can guess your purpose for coming to Naha Harbor. I want to remind you here that if you are here for a business trip or to play, our Japanese would welcome you with our hands raised, but if you have any other purpose, then unfortunately, the one hundred thousand Japanese s in Ryukyu will not agree …"

A threat, this was the threat of a bare fruit. Xiao Letian did not think that news of him being a tyrant would be leaked out so quickly. Who leaked this secret? The intelligence of the Japanese was just too terrifying.

Xiao Letian's face darkened, "Ryukyu is the Ryukyu of the Ryukyu, the Ryukyu of the people, and also the Ryukyu of the Chinese people. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Ryukyu Kingdom had proclaimed herself a vassal state to China. In the year of the Ming dynasty's Great Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang personally conferred the title of Ryukyu King. Even in the year of the Great Qing Dynasty's rule, the Ryukyu also presented a letter to the Great Qing, claiming that he is a Subordinate Country … "

"I was wondering, I was walking on our land, and I still needed the permission of your Japanese? "Who do you think you are, daring to set rules for me …"

Xiao Letian was very confident with his words, because under international law, all the countries at that time recognized the treatment given to them by the clan leader, as if the European countries thought that their rights and interests as colonies were inviolable. The status of sect head of the surrounding countries in the Great Qing is recognized and protected by the Universal Law.

European and American politicians certainly hoped that the weaker the Great Qing, the better. However, they could only secretly scheme, and did not dare to criticize the Great Qing's legal basis against the Subordinate Country. The theory was simple. If the United States and Europe did not recognize this kind of relationship between a country and its subjects, then their relationship with the colonies would also be negated.

E Balang obviously didn't understand the diplomatic relations between countries, he merely shook his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, I only know that for the past two hundred years, our Japanese have been protecting the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the Samoan's army is stationed on the mountain outside the port. And during this hundred years, where are your Chinese army?"

Xiao Letian frowned, he felt that he had said the same thing. A Japanese Rangers, in other words, the underworld within a Japan, how much could he recognize?

"Liang Kun, let's go. There's nothing to talk about with these kind of people. If they dare to block our way, then clear a path for me."

"As per your orders!" More than a hundred guards roared like thunder as they charged forward with large strides. In two steps, they had charged head-on into the group of two hundred men.

"Eight!" "Eight …" The two hundred over Chinese were used to being arrogant, but in their eyes, they were weak and cowardly. They really did not expect this man to be so tough.

"You motherf * cker! How dare you block our way, I'll beat you to death …" "Mister is right, this is our country. We are walking in our own country, can you control it …"

"Ba'e, you bunch of trash from the Qing Guo Nu s, who were attacked and destroyed in the west, are not fit to appear at that place … Get lost! "

Less than 80 Chinese bodyguards and two hundred Japanese Rangers s clashed on the pier, as both sides engaged in a 'restraint' battle. The so-called restraint only meant that both sides did not use their weapons. Neither did they randomly throw out eight punches like thugs. The two sides were like two military formations, desperately pushing each other in front of each other.

The difference in strength between allies and foes was very large. A battle of two hundred against eighty was originally an unfair contest, and gradually, Xiao Letian's primary matrix was pushed away, retreating bit by bit.

Xiao Letian stood at the heart of the primary matrix and was cursed loudly. "Trash, all of you are a group of trash, don't you all call yourself Green Forest experts? Where's your internal energy? Where are your small combat skills? Cut their eyes, kick their crotch, kick his big toes... "Damn it, isn't there lime in the harbor, and the fuck it is..."
