Chapter 20 Heavy Losses

The pirates finally retreated, and the officers and soldiers began to rescue refugees overnight, put out the fires, and counted the losses. The Sea Shark Gang also mobilized the population and cooperated with the county magistrate to rescue them, arresting the Japanese pirates who had not had time to board the ship. In the late night, Yunhai City was busy and chaotic.

Zhao Qiankun, who was disturbed by his dream, was also strolling on the street, using the Fuyun Gong that he had just learned to move objects from the air, waved his hands, and wherever he passed, he automatically helped the wood and gravels to help him back to the pile, saving people all the way, and practicing the exercises.

After walking two streets, Zhao Qiankun saw a back kneeling on the ground, with a familiar figure and clothes, which was Huang Jian!

"Yo, Lao Huang!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and went up to say hello, but he was stunned when he was halfway through.

Huang Jian was holding the body of a young man in his hand, staring at his red eyes, silently dazed... Next to him, there was a woman covered in blood, standing with a three-year-old child crying. Next to him was a collapsed house... Around Huang Jian, there were several corpses of Japanese pirates lying in a row, none of which were complete, and they all looked torn apart by terrifying power.

Zhao Qiankun immediately realized something, walked to Huang Jian silently, and placed his hand on his shoulder.

Huang Jian seemed to be out of consciousness. After a while, he turned around inwardly. Seeing that it was Zhao Qiankun, he just shook his head and tightened the man in his arms: "Old Zhao... I will introduce you... This is my younger brother... Huang Yi... is my pride... my Huang family... pride..."

As he said that, Lao Huang lowered his head again, tugged his head on his brother's body, and burst into tears.

Looking at Jingxing, Zhao Qiankun could also guess that Huang Jian's younger brother and sister-in-law were all killed in the attack just now, and only his little nephew survived. The bodies of those Japanese pirates should have been tortured by the angry Huang Jian...

"Huang Jian!" At this time, Xia Haishan also brought people to come. Zhao Qiankun turned around and waved his hand. Xia Haishan was stunned. After a closer look, she also showed an unbearable look.

"Miss..." When she noticed Xia Haishan, Lao Huang nodded and responded weakly. Xia Haishan came over and squatted down and comforted him: "Brother Huang, no one can be resurrected, so be mournful and follow the changes..."

"I understand...I understand...but..." As he said that, Huang Jian choked up again.

"A person cannot be resurrected if he dies!" Zhao Qiankun said with his eyes narrowed: "But at least, we can still take revenge! Such a large-scale attack must be the mysterious pirate... Old Huang, should I kill that bastard with me?"

"What are you kidding!" Xia Haishan said angrily: "Where can you find that mysterious person in the vast East China Sea? The sea is unpredictable and is different from on land. No matter how profound your skills are, you will be lost in the vast sea, and you will have to die!"

"Didn't you arrest a lot of Japanese pirates?" Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "If you ask one by one, I don't believe that I can't ask where the mysterious man is!"

After hearing Zhao Qiankun say this, Huang Jian's eyes were filled with spirits. He stood up and said, "That's right, Lao Zhao, I want to avenge my brother, I want to kill that bastard with my own hands! Miss, hurry up, I understand Yingzhou dialect, let me interrogate those pirates who are damn Japanese!"

"Old Huang..." Xia Haishan hesitated, but Zhao Qiankun said: "Old Huang, don't be anxious, you have to let your younger brother and sister-in-law be buried first..."

"You are right..." Old Huang nodded: "I can't sink into the trap, I have to do my funeral first..." As he said that, Huang Jian put the bodies of his brother and his sister-in-law together, and Xia Haishan also asked the people accompanying him to help clean up.

Looking at the busy look, Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "A person who has died of heart must give him a target, otherwise, he will be really dead..."

Xia Haishan shook her head with some helplessness: "But, when he accomplishes his goal, won't he die again?"

"Time will wipe everything..." Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "Do you know why there are so many rules for organizing funerals? Because relatives leave, if they don't do anything and are just sad about the corpse, people will only become more and more depressed. On the one hand, they can make us do something for the dead relatives and feel better; on the other hand, they are also to make us busy and have no time to be sad... When things are done, the most painful stage has passed, and it is also time for us to welcome a new life..."

Looking at the busy Huang Jian, Xia Haishan nodded: "I hope this is the case..."

The Sea Shark Gang here just helped Huang Jian settle the body, and the county magistrate sent someone to invite Xia Haishan to the county government to discuss the important matters.

Needless to think about it, the negotiations must be related to the invasion of the Japanese pirates. Zhao Qiankun and Huang Jian, who had just found the value of life from his grief, also followed and soon arrived at the government office.

After entering the living room, the old gang leader Xia Dongyang was already here, and there were several influential gang leaders next to him. The one sitting in the main seat was naturally the county magistrate Cao. Next to him was a middleman dressed in a literati. He was a counselor of the county magistrate, with his surname Qi and known as Qi Gong; on the other side, there was a tall and neatly dressed military general with a surname of Jin, a third-rank military position, and was appointed as the General of the Central Army. He was also the highest military officer in the local position.

The three of them presided over the meeting, and obviously there was a major discussion. Xia Haishan did not dare to neglect and immediately came behind her father to stand down. However, when Grandpa Cao saw her, he hurriedly ordered the servants to see the seat.

Just kidding, although Xia Haishan is a junior, she is a real saint-level master. Her strength is even higher than her father Xia Dongyang. She can be called the number one master in Yunhai City. Who dares to neglect?

However, Zhao Qiankun and Huang Jian who came with Xia Haishan did not have such treatment.

Prefect Huang Jian had known each other for a long time and knew that it was the master of the Sea Shark Gang, but Zhao Qiankun was a naive face. But the same thing came from, probably it was almost the same.

Zhao Qiankun didn't care about standing for a while, he mainly came to see the fun. It was Xia Haishan who knew his tricks, took the chair and didn't sit, but gave it to him.

This scene surprised the prefect Cao: "Haishan, this person is..."

"This is a friend I made when I was in the Central Plains. His name is Zhao Qiankun. Although he looks young, he is actually practicing unique skills and has the ability to keep his eyes open. Moreover, the meteor shower last night was also the credit of this Zhao Qiankun!"

Regarding the meteor shower, Xia Haishan asked on the way. Zhao Qiankun killed Taotie's breath, which was in her opinion, was a powerful fire-type magic. This meteor shower was obviously a very high-level fire-type related magic. Yunhai City did not have any particularly powerful fire mage, so Xia Haishan naturally thought of Zhao Qiankun, and Lao Zhao was not polite and admitted it directly.

Hearing that it was the meteor shower summoned by Zhao Qiankun, the prefect stood up quickly and looked very respectful: "Oh, it turns out to be Master Zhao, I have been admired for a long time... You are the great savior of our Yunhai City. I wish I could not recognize Mount Tai. Come and see you!"

Zhao Qiankun had a seat in a legitimate manner, and the meeting officially began.

First, the adviser Qi Duke took out a notebook and summarized the overview of the Japanese pirates attacking the city last night. Last night, about 120 pirate ships attacked, and the landing Japanese pirates were estimated to be more than 20,000. Later, most of them were sunk by fire rain, and more than 40 people successfully escaped. After the battle, the officers and soldiers and civil gangs killed more than 12,200 Japanese pirates and captured more than 3,700 prisoners. The rest were unknown whereabouts, and most of them escaped by boat. Some of them should have been killed by fire rain or drowned by broken ships. At present, there is no count...

Due to the raid of the amplification magic, many houses collapsed in the towns. The Japanese pirates then went ashore, causing heavy casualties to the people. The number of casualties is still under statistics. Prefect Cao has written a memorial overnight and asked the court for money to appease the victims...
