Chapter 1,658: Taking people out to sea for conquest

Seeing that Zhao Chen didn't give him a chance to stop him, a look of uneasiness flashed across Zhang Ji's face.

Now that the Japanese rogues are suddenly attacking, if Zhao Chen takes people out of the city like this, what if something happens to him if he encounters a large number of rogues?

If something happened to Zhao Chen in his territory, the emperor could kill all the families of all their officials here.

"Sir, what should we do?" An official asked Zhang Ji, looking at the retreating figures of Zhao Chen and others.

Now, like Zhang Ji, they are all worried.

If Zhao Chen stays in the city, they can naturally go about their own affairs without any scruples.

Now that Zhao Chen is out of the city, if he encounters any danger outside...

They feel a chill down their backs just thinking about it now.

Zhang Ji frowned, he knew how ferocious the ronin were, otherwise it wouldn't have been so long and the army in the city wouldn't have been able to capture those ronin.

Although Zhao Chen has a hundred Xuanjia troops around him, he can't handle the large number of rogues.

Moreover, the most powerful thing about the Xuanjia Army is their war horses.

But now those people are just foot soldiers.

If something happens then, how will they protect His Highness the King of Han?

"General Liu, when you take people to follow His Highness the King of Han, you must stay with His Highness the King of Han at all times to ensure the safety of the King of Han. You must not neglect it for a moment."

After hearing this, General Liu nodded seriously and immediately ordered his team to follow Zhao Chen and others.

"Let's go there quickly." After the team in front disappeared, Zhang Ji turned around and said to the people behind him.

…

When Zhao Chen arrived outside the city, he saw many people running towards the city.

Behind them there were a few dwarfs chasing them with knives.

These dwarfs are the ronin of Japan.

But although these Japanese rogues were short in stature, their faces were full of ferocious looks.

"Jijigi." I don't know what these Japanese rogues were shouting in Wula. One of the Japanese rogues caught up with the fleeing Tang people and was about to chop him with a knife.

Li Ke on the side immediately took out his crossbow and shot at the Japanese rogue.

The arrow flew out and hit the Japanese rogue in the neck.

The Japanese rogue fell to the ground, and the long knife in his hand fell to the ground.

The rest of the Japanese rogues had just thought of rushing up to kill the fleeing people, but they did not expect that the reinforcements from the city would arrive so quickly.

Turn around and run immediately.

"Chase." Zhao Chen ordered the Xuanjia Army soldiers behind him.

A hundred people also immediately chased him.

Zhao Chen and Li Ke came to the Japanese ronin who was shot dead just now.

"Why does this guy have a tuft of hair under his nose?" Li Ke looked at the face of the Japanese Ronin strangely.

"It's just their habit." Zhao Chen didn't say much.

It's just that the Japanese rogue in front of him was killed by Li Ke with an arrow, and he couldn't learn anything from his mouth.

Now we can only hope that the Xuanjia Army can catch one or two alive.

You will also know more things by then.

But it's a pity that when the Xuanjia Army came back, they didn't bring anything back.

Those Japanese rogues disappeared under their noses.

There are many mountains and forests outside the city. Unless someone who is very familiar with the terrain leads the way, the Japanese wanderers would never dare to run into the mountains and forests.

But now, those Japanese rogues disappeared right in front of the Xuanjia Army.

Zhao Chen was even more certain that there must be a traitor conspiring in the city when the Japanese rogues came to attack.

But who this person is, Zhao Chen has no idea yet.

"Your Highness, King of Han, are you okay?" General Liu sent by Zhang Ji also rushed to Zhao Chen's side at this moment.

Seeing that Zhao Chen was fine, General Liu breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Where is Governor Zhang?" Zhao Chen looked at General Liu.

"The Governor has led his men to pursue the Japanese rogues, and has sent me to protect His Highness." General Liu explained quickly.

After Zhao Chen heard this, he did not continue to ask any more questions.

If the officials in the city conspired with the Japanese rogues, they would not be able to find out anything unless they caught the Japanese rogues alive.

"Your Highness, let's go back." General Liu looked at Zhao Chen.

He was afraid that if Zhao Chen continued to move forward, he might encounter an ambush from the Japanese.

It was really bad then.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Liu." Zhao Chen only said this, then turned and walked towards the city.

If no one is caught alive, there is no point in pursuing him or not.

"Brother Emperor, shouldn't I kill that ronin?" Li Ke followed Zhao Chen and asked in a low voice when he saw something was wrong with Zhao Chen's expression.

Zhao Chen looked back at Li Ke and saw him following him with a guilty look on his face, knowing that he thought he was blaming him for shooting the werewolf.

But what Zhao Chen was thinking about was how to find out the officials in the city who were having an affair with the ronin.

"Just kill him. It's okay. I'm going to take people out to sea tomorrow."

"Going to sea?" Zhao Chen's words almost made Li Ke's jaw drop.

What to do at sea?

It can't be that you want to destroy those rogues at sea, right?

They didn't even know that the Japanese rogues were there.

Moreover, if we really encounter Japanese rogues at sea, people like us will

Is it an opponent?

Those prodigals were born and raised on the sea, so how can they fight?

General Liu on the side heard Zhao Chen say that he was going to sea, and his expression changed accordingly.

But unlike Li Ke, General Liu didn't say a word.

Soon everyone returned to the city, and the sky was gradually getting brighter at this moment.

Zhang Ji also returned to the city with his people. When he saw Zhao Chen, he immediately bowed his hands and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Han atones for his sins. I will let the Japanese prodigals run away."

"They ran away and my people didn't catch them." Zhao Chen helped Zhang Ji up without any blame.

"I plan to mobilize the soldiers from Quanzhou City tomorrow to go to sea to pursue those Japanese rogues." Zhao Chen said to Zhang Ji again.

Zhang Ji's expression changed at that time.

He even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, so he misheard Zhao Chen's words.

However, he still asked cautiously, "His Highness said that he would go overseas to pursue the Japanese ronin."

"Yes, isn't it true that the Japanese prodigal can run away? I will lead people to chase him into the sea and see how he runs." Zhao Chen nodded and said.

"Your Highness, you can't." Zhang Ji immediately objected.

"The sea is very windy and rough, and if you are not careful, your life may be in danger."

"Your Highness is a rich man, and you should never do such a reckless thing."

"Besides, Ronin is familiar with the sea. I'm afraid it will be difficult for my army to pursue..."

"Captain Zhang, this is an order, not a discussion with you."

"If you feel something is wrong, you can report it to the court, but today, you have to obey my orders." Zhao Chen interrupted Zhang Ji and did not give him any chance to refute.

"Han Chong, tomorrow you will lead the Qianzhou soldiers and some Quanzhou soldiers to select twenty warships and follow me out of the port to pursue the Japanese rogues." Zhao Chen looked at Han Chong aside and ordered.
