This time, when Xu Chun served the Emperor, he was extremely devoted. In the end, even dinner was hastily eaten at the lotus pond. They fished while roasting fish, not catching many fish, but they did fill their bellies with roasted deer meat and blood cakes. Xie Yi initially thought that he had injured his vitality and should replenish his essence. That was why he instructed that some nourishing meals be sent. But he didn't expect the imperial kitchen to send fresh deer meat for roasting. Although it…-

Xu Chun was led all the way to a flower hut by Wu Fu. They walked along a small path where daylilies, roses, and jasmine flowers bloomed in abundance, bees and butterflies fluttered about, and wildflowers dotted the landscape. On the mountainside, climbing plants like honeysuckle, roses, nightshade, wisteria, and camellia covered the rocks, creating a breathtaking view of an endless sea of flowers. Xu Chun said, "There's actually such a wonderful place within the palace." Wu Fu smiled. He had been…

Historically, when the Emperor bestowed banquets, they were usually for civil officials. In recent years, there hadn't been much warfare, so this sudden victory had bolstered the Ministry of War's spirits. Since taking up his post in the capital as Minister of War, Secretary Lei Ming had felt rather stifled, having grown accustomed to freedom and indulgence during his time in the provinces. Although the Secretary of War was also a member of the Grand Council, in times of peace, he wielded less power…

Xu Chun hadn't slept so soundly in a long time. He was actually embarrassed to admit to Xie Yi that he had been shaken for days after seeing the gruesome sight of limbs flying on the battlefield for the first time. He would jump at every loud noise he heard, and it was difficult for him to swallow red meat, blood, and other similar foods. He couldn't sleep well at night either, waking up frequently. His servants—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—all noticed and worried. Winter Sea gave him…

Steam rose from the warm water in the spacious bath, fragrant lotus petals floating on the surface. Beside the Jade Poppy Pond, reed mats held neatly folded clothes for changing. On one side, a glass screen depicted a pair of golden red carp playing in the water, now draped with discarded garments. Xu Chun, his face flushed, knelt on a cushion, hands resting on his thighs. His muscles tensed to the point of stiffness from anxiety. He shifted his toes uneasily but was stopped by the cool, round jade ruyi…

The battle at Changhu Gorge actually lasted two days and nights. The sun rose and set, the tide ebbed and flowed, and under the cover of darkness and fog, the Wokou pirates, their leader having been captured, finally left the battlefield with their remaining ships. In the eyes of Iwa Hide Tsuki, this battle was a hellish torment, but even from Xu Chun's perspective, it wasn't easy. Over a hundred ships were destroyed, countless corpses and broken sails floated on the sea—battlefield cleanup…

Even in his declining years, Iwauchi Hideyuki still vividly remembered that day's battle. They had been filled with greed and brutality, leading their elite samurai retainers onto the expensive and sturdy "Myriad Ages" ship. They never expected it to turn out to be such a hellish ordeal. Yes, only hell could describe what they had experienced that day. The evil demons ruthlessly reaped their lives, their lives and bodies being continuously fed to the millstone, ground and crushed. From the moment…

The Luminous Vessel stopped near Longhu Gorge, releasing a multitude of bamboo rafts that charged straight towards the minefield, triggering the naval mines. Buckets of tung oil were placed on the rafts, floating on the sea after being blasted by the mines. In an instant, a raging fire engulfed the surface of the sea, igniting every hastily laid naval mine they had set up. The mines exploded in unison, the sound of blasting mines filling the air, waves roared, thunder boomed across the sky, and tongues…

Yan Zhongxiuyue, clad in heavy armor, walked to the bow of the ship, gazing at the raging flames on the battlefield. The wing-like horns on his armor soared upward, resembling the wings of a bird. Narrowing his eyes, he looked at the golden-painted characters "Qianniu" on the distant black ship. His expression was inscrutable, and his adjutant, Asano Hiko, who stood beside him, said, "Sir, the enemy's artillery is formidable. You should seek shelter." Yan Zhongxiuyue asked, "I heard there are…

"All medical, logistical, food, and water ships retreat, escorted by ten cruiser warships. Additionally, dispatch two centipede fast ships immediately back to the main camp to seek reinforcements from Lord Fang. Tell them we are facing formidable enemies here; preliminary estimates indicate their fleet is over five hundred ships. Please have the marshal send ships to aid us immediately!" Pei Dongyan straightened up. "My lord! Where did this figure of five hundred come from?" Xu Chun replied coldly, "We…
