The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

The two teams of Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao were driving slowly on the way back to Beijing.

Why are there two teams? One team is Chu Chenjing from Western Chu State, with his envoys and others.

The other group of people was the Crown Prince Qin Linggang of East Qin, his Crown Princess and their envoys. To return to East Qin, they had to pass through West Chu.

To go to Southern Chu, not only Eastern Qin had to pass through it, but Beiyue also had to pass through Western Chu. If they went from Danyan through Southern Xinjiang, the road would be rugged. Generally, as long as there was no war between the two countries, they would pass through Western Chu to go to Southern Chu.

The two teams traveled for two days and arrived at Wuxi Town, a small town at the foot of Chuwu Mountain. Although it was a small town, because it was at the foot of Chuwu Mountain and there were many bandits in the mountains, the town had an earthen wall and some soldiers on duty.

There are also several small restaurants in the town, and there is also a small post station here, but it was only this year that officials, messenger soldiers, and some caravans began to stay at the post station, because the bandits from Chuwu Mountain often harassed this place in the past.

After Chu Chenjing defeated Nan Chu, he sent a part of the troops to wipe out the bandits in Chuwu Mountain. Only then did the town become safer. In addition, they went to Nan Chu and fought against Wu Yuan's lair, so there were even fewer bandits here.

Today, they were attracted by the late autumn scenery along the way and arrived at this small town at sunset. The mayor had received the news early and was waiting at the town gate.

When Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing arrived at the town gate, they got out of the carriage and met the mayor and others.

Unexpectedly, the owner of Nether Villa, Nether Dugu, and Nether Yue were also waiting at the town entrance. After they saluted the mayor and others, the two walked forward and greeted them, "Prince Jing, Princess Jing."

"Master of Youming Manor, Xiaoyue'er, why are you here?" Ouyang Yunyao looked at Youming Dugu in confusion.

"Princess Jing, my Netherworld Villa is on this Chuwu Mountain."

"Princess Jing, why do you always call me Xiaoyue? I'm older than you."

Xia Yan and Xia Fei had already gotten off the carriage and stood on both sides of Ouyang Yunyao. When Youmingyue said this, Xia Fei blinked and said mischievously, "Sister Yue'er, our princess is calling you Little Yue'er, but she hasn't called you Sister Yue'er yet?"

"Fei'er, you're becoming more and more talkative following the princess."

The crowd broke the seriousness of the scene with laughter.

They were led by the mayor into Wuxi Town. Wuxi Town was truly worthy of its name. There were streams everywhere in the town, with mountain spring water flowing. There were pebbles under the water, and the water was clear and transparent. There were many small stone bridges in the town. Ouyang Yunyao looked at the scenery as if she was in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Chu Chenjing, Han Fengli and others walked in front with the mayor. Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenqing, who got off the carriage and walked over from behind, walked slowly behind. Youming Dugu and his daughter also followed.

At this time, they saw the underground spring water with misty hot steam. Youmingyue pointed at the steaming spring water and looked at Ouyang Yunyao and said, "Princess Jing, this steaming water is a hot spring. This water is hot."

"Well, if we build a house here, we can take a hot spring bath."

"Yes, yes, there is a hot spring pool in my room."

Ouyang Yunyao turned around and asked Youming Dugu who was walking beside Youming Yue, "Master Youming Manor, your manor is on Chuwu Mountain, but isn't Chuwu Mountain very big?"

"Princess Jing, my villa is on the mountain outside the town. It's not far from here. The carriage can drive directly to the gate of the villa. It will arrive in two quarters of an hour."

"Oh, it's pretty close."

"Princess Jing, I came here today to invite you to stay at the villa for a while."

"Princess, our Chuwu Mountain is the most beautiful at this time of year. Would you like to stay there?" Youmingyue looked at Ouyang Yunyao and begged.

Ouyang Yunyao was a little moved when she heard this. She knew that the scenery in the southern mountains was most beautiful in late autumn. Moreover, it was a world without any pollution. She really wanted to go and see it, enjoy the breath of nature, and take some beautiful photos. So she said, "Hot springs are great! Let me think about it."

Chu Chenqing also wanted to go to the hot springs, looking at Ouyang Yunyao, "Yaoyao, let's go have some fun."

Ouyang Yunyao thought about it and felt that since they didn't have anything to do along the way, Chu Chenjing would definitely agree to let her go and play for a few days. At worst, the envoys could just go back first. She was about to nod in agreement.

"Yaoyao" Chu Chenjing came to her side from the front without knowing when, took her hand as if no one was around, and called her seriously.

"Ajing, what's wrong?"

Ouyang Yunyao's first reaction was that something had happened. Otherwise, Chu Chenjing would not have left while talking with the mayor and the envoy.

"Prince Qin, we received a pigeon message from their country saying that pirates are invading the East China Sea."

At this time, Qin Linggang also came to their side. "Qing'er, Princess Jing, I received news that pirates invaded our coast and killed many people in our country. They may have appeared along the coast of Western Chu. I have to hurry back."

Ouyang Yunyao remembered that the East China Sea coast of Eastern Qin State was connected to the coast of Western Chu State.

Chu Chenjing frowned solemnly and said, "Prince Qin, let's go to the post station to discuss it first."

"Well, let's go to the post station first."

A group of people walked quickly towards the post station.

Western Chu Kyoto Imperial Palace

In the emperor's study, the emperor was sitting at his desk reviewing memorials. In front of the desk stood the crown prince, the second prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince and several ministers. Each of them had a serious look on their face.

After lunch, the emperor received an urgent report from the East China Sea, which said that pirates were attacking the coast of the East China Sea. The emperor put down the memorial and summoned the crown prince, the second prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince and these ministers.

When the emperor saw that they had all arrived in the study, he said to Eunuch Hong beside him, "Jiafu, come here and read the general report to them."

This urgent document was submitted by General Rong Zehong who was stationed in the East China Sea. It was sent to the palace at an expedited speed of 800 miles to be reported to the Emperor.

The military report reported that pirates were invading the coast of the East China Sea. This time, the pirates came in large numbers. They were very brutal and burned and killed many people along the coast.

The pirates who came this time came on a huge warship, which had strange weapons that could produce fire. These weapons were very powerful, and many soldiers were killed or injured by them.

These pirates are also very good at swimming. The coastline of Western Chu is long, and their garrison only has 100,000 people, so many places have been occupied by pirates.

After Eunuch Hong finished reading the report, the ministers were all stunned. They had only been at peace with the Southern Chu Kingdom for a year, and with the Northern Yue Kingdom for a few months. The pirates from the East China Sea were coming again. Due to years of war in the Western Chu Kingdom, the treasury was empty. How could they fight this war?

The prince stepped forward first and said, "Father, the pirates haven't attacked on a large scale in the past year or so. They are so arrogant this time, they must be well prepared. We must not take it lightly."

"Your Majesty, I think what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is right." General Su stepped forward and said.

"Father, I don't think so. They are just a few pirates. They are just doing what they did before, harassing us and stealing some things."
