The timely appearance of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Long Jiuzun and Yue Minzhi's beheading almost like cutting wheat, finally resolved the crisis in Vatican Harbor around dawn.
The baggage boat that Long Jiuzun and others took and the sea-air boat that Yue Jinghua and others took landed on the ground almost at the same time, and a circle of people soon surrounded the boat.
Long Jiuzun thought that the people were here to welcome the Southern Expedition Army, but when Salman walked down holding Yudan's hand, the fishermen gave out deafening cheers.
In the hearts of simple fishermen, they don't know what the Southern Expeditionary Army is. They only know that a group of troops risked their lives to rescue an ordinary fishing village child. Their sincere gratitude turned into waves of voices, wave after wave.
In Long Jiuzun's eyes, haze flashed past, but he soon smiled and walked towards Ya Lei, the captain of the coastal defense army.
According to the establishment of the imperial army, Long Jiuzun is a major general of the empire and a second-rank senior official. Although Yue Minzhi is the heir to the Duke's Mansion, he is not comparable to Long Jiuzun in terms of status because he has not been officially awarded honors.
This also means that as soon as Long Jiuzun came, he became the highest defense officer in Vatican Port.
Yalei had already heard the great name of the God of War of the Dragon Nine Empires. After he saluted, he explained the situation of the Vatican Harbor in detail, including the help of Yue Jinghua and others who arrived earlier, to help deploy defenses, and to lend sea and air ships things.
Seeing that his younger sister was safe and sound, Yue Minzhi also had a smile on his face.
Ji Yun and Qing Zizhu glared at Long Jiuzun angrily, discussing in private how to question Long Jiuzun.
Unexpectedly, Long Jiuzun did not leave them the slightest chance, after listening to Captain Yalei's report, his face turned serious, "Thank you Captain Yalei, this time the Southern Expeditionary Army delayed the rescue because of a small The detachment did not follow military discipline and left the marching route without authorization. I will punish them severely later. The Sea Beast riot has just ended, and the hearts of the people in Vatican Harbor must be in disarray. Please also Captain Yalei immediately dispatch the local coastal defense force to guard around and collect local casualties Condition."
How cunning Long Jiuzun is, how could he allow Yue Jinghua and others to come to question him.
He only appeased Captain Yalei on the front foot, and immediately punished Yue Jinghua and others severely on the back foot. The excuse for punishing them was that they did not follow military discipline and left the army without permission.
When Ji Yun and others heard this, they were furious, "Long Jiuzun, you lowly villain, how dare you say that you didn't play tricks on Xuan Dan? We left the army without authorization. It is clear that you taboo us and want to put people to death."
Ji Yun told the story of the few people who were almost killed earlier, but thanks to the help of the formation master beside Yue Jinghua, they escaped by chance.
When Yue Minzhi heard this, he was also angry, but after receiving Yue Jinghua's signal look, he suppressed his anger.
"Oh, how many of you are worthy of my embarrassment? Ji Yun, you think too highly of yourself." Long Jiuzun smiled proudly, with disdain on his brows, "What you said is full of loopholes, ridiculous and ridiculous The young general I have never heard of, there are other formations in the world. The formation master next to Yue Jinghua is young and has an unknown origin. How can he describe the magic that even the veteran formation masters cannot describe? Formation. This is obviously an excuse for the few of you to shirk in private. You violated military discipline, and forced Captain Yalei of the Coast Guard to lend the sea and air boat without authorization, and you couldn’t even take care of your fellow travelers. This behavior has completely disgraced the Southern Expedition Army. This is the first time this major general has marched after you are all nobles. He punished you to be confined in the water prison of the Haiphong Army for ten days. Little Duke Yue, please escort a few people to the harbor water prison."
In order to show his fairness, he also ordered Long Rui to be imprisoned together.
Seeing Yuemin's movement, Long Jiuzun snorted: "Why, Little Duke Yue, even you have to disobey military discipline. This young general and his sister Long Rui can be imprisoned together, but you are trying to bend the law for personal gain. , Can you cover Yue Jinghua?"
After hearing this, Long Rui's complexion changed slightly, it was like meeting her elder brother for the first time.
Yue Minzhi also had a stiff face, with anger gushing out from his eyes.
If Yue Minzhi didn't follow Long Jiuzun's instructions, it would be a violation of military discipline. In this way, he would have wiped out all the Yueshi brothers and sisters.
Unexpectedly, Yue Jinghua was not fooled, she sneered and said, "Don't bother my elder brother to do it, we will receive the punishment ourselves. Long Jiuzun, please remember, I received the punishment today not because I obeyed you, but because As subjects, we must obey the emperor's order and military power. In life, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind."
After all, she raised her footsteps and swaggered, walking like a water prison of the sea defense army.
When the rest of them saw this, they were also filled with righteous indignation, and left with Yue Jinghua.
Yue Minzhi snorted coldly and walked away.
Cheng Ying turned a pair of wonderful eyes, smiling half a smile, Long Jiuzun wanted to go forward to show his favor, but he was shunned by saying that he was ill.
Vatican Port is adjacent to the sea, and the cells built by the Coast Guard are also different from other places.
As the name suggests, the water prison is built in the water.
The water prison was built near the sea, and it was built in a hollowed out sea cliff.
The cell is only four square meters, and there is not even a bed to lie on. The prisoner can only stand all day long in it, soaking in the knee-deep seawater, and only eats two meals a day, which are coarse rice and stinky dried fish. There will be three times of waves washing away the bad food like this every day when you get up early, in the afternoon, and at dusk.
There was no lighting in the water prison, and it was difficult for sunlight to penetrate the dark sea cliff. Although it was summer, the water prison was gloomy and icy cold.
When the waves were strong, they rolled up the gravel on the sea cliffs, and hit people like whips.
Ten days of confinement, with such waves washing away, day after day, those with a slightly lower cultivation base were already haggard when they came out.
Fortunately, the cultivation bases of several people are not bad, especially the profound practitioners above the Earth Xuan such as Ji Yun, Long Rui, and Yue Jinghua, who can resist the cold after they have activated their profound energy.
Xu thought that Yue Jinghua and the others were punished because he reported the military situation. Captain Yalei was very sorry and arranged them together.
Ji Yun, Qing Zizhu and the others, who could not help complaining, scolded Long Jiuzun.
The place where Long Rui was locked was adjacent to Yue Jinghua's cell, and after she was imprisoned, she also remained silent.
Although the environment of the water dungeon was a little worse, Yue Jinghua didn't care.
Being locked up in the prison cell gave her a quiet place to think. For her who had undergone the dragon forging, the beating of the waves was like scratching an itch, which was insignificant at all.
She simply took out the devil's shell that she hadn't had time to look at earlier, and called out the golden silkworm to observe carefully together.
It was locked up for about three days. On this night, Yue Jinghua took out the devil shell again, and was about to take a closer look, when he heard Long Rui from the next cell make a slight greeting.
