Chapter 1109 Sending Him to Reincarnate
"Jiang Qin?"

Su Yao was stunned when he heard the name.

He knew this person; he was a famous general of Eastern Wu at the end of the Han Dynasty, praised by Chen Shou as "the Tiger General of Jiangdong," and he also appeared when Sun Quan attacked Guan Yu.

He had assumed that this man had gone to the South Seas with Sun Ce, but after hearing Taishi Ci's explanation, he realized that perhaps he had intervened too early, and Jiang Qin hadn't even had time to seek refuge with Sun Ce before Yuan Shu and Sun Ce both perished.

Thus, the inexperienced Jiang Qin lost his historical opportunity.

But as the saying goes, gold shines wherever it is.

Although he did not follow Sun Ce, Jiang Qin entered officialdom just as Guan Yu was in charge of the Jianghuai region, recruiting soldiers and preparing to enter Shu to fight.

Jiang Qin was promoted for his meritorious service in that battle. Then, due to his familiarity with the navy, he was transferred to the command of the navy in various prefectures. Finally, he stood out among the people selected by the court to serve in Japan and served as the deputy envoy in charge of the security of the mission.

This initially filled Jiang Qin with elation, for since ancient times, being an envoy to the Han Dynasty had always been a high-risk, high-reward mission. Consider the renowned Marquis of Bowang, Zhang Qian, who was ennobled for his meritorious service as an envoy, his name etched in history. Jiang Qin had assumed that if this mission successfully spread his influence overseas, the rewards upon his return would be substantial, and he might even bring glory to his family.

Who would have thought that, before his ambitions were fulfilled, he would almost lose his life on a deserted island in a foreign land!

"So what's going on?" Su Yao asked, frowning. "Could it be the savages of Tsushima Island playing tricks?"

“No,” Taishici paused, then added, “It can’t be said that they are entirely not. The savages of Tsushima Island, and the Japanese across the strait, are not good people either.”

Taishi Ci then gave a detailed explanation.

It must be said that this mission was truly plagued by misfortune.

In fact, they had done a good job of completing their mission at the beginning. With the guidance of the Japanese envoy, they met with Queen Himiko of Japan, who was said to rarely see outsiders, and successfully granted her a golden seal and brought back gifts from Japan.

Originally, everything should have ended happily here. Everyone could have simply returned the way they came and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, been promoted and rewarded, bringing glory to their families.

But unsurprisingly, the unexpected happened at that moment.

Whether out of envy for the many rewards Himiko received, or due to their own ambition, they were unwilling to acknowledge Himiko's throne as the Queen of Wa. In any case, a force that had previously maintained a relatively peaceful relationship with Himiko launched an attack and intercepted the returning delegation.

Taishi Ci lowered his voice even further, his gaze sweeping over the guards standing watch at the dock, and recounted in detail the encounter between Jiang Qin and the delegation:

"Jiang Qin said that the mission's return journey from Yamatai was initially smooth. To show her sincerity, Queen Himiko not only presented pearls from the Japanese islands as tribute, but also provided thirty male and female slaves and several Japanese ships for escort. However, they were suddenly ambushed just as they reached the Kusanagi Strait!"

"Oh? Who were the attackers? Could it be that Japanese pirates existed in this era?"

Taishi Ci's voice was filled with suppressed anger as he continued, "The ambush attackers were not ordinary pirates, but a large number of warships flying the banner of 'Dog Slave Kingdom.' They clearly planned this in advance! Taking advantage of the complex currents and island terrain of the strait, they suddenly attacked and scattered our fleet." "Dog Slave Kingdom?" Su Yao's eyes narrowed; he vaguely remembered the name.

Although he did not personally visit the Japanese islands, he learned from previous intelligence that the islands of Japan were not unified. Although Yamatai was strong, there were many forces on the islands that could rival it. Even Himiko herself was elected to power by various lords on the islands after a long period of internal strife in Japan.

“Exactly!” Taishi Ci nodded. “This Dog Slave Kingdom is located south of Yamatai Kingdom. It is the only force on the island that does not submit to the Queen’s rule and is located on the opposite shore of Tsushima Island.”

"They attacked suddenly, and Jiang Qin fought back desperately, but he was outnumbered and outmatched, and was in foreign territory. In the end, the chief envoy died on the spot while protecting the official seal. Jiang Qin led his team to break through the encirclement, intending to return home to report the news, but his ship was burned. He only managed to grab a piece of plank and drifted for several days before being rescued by fishermen from Tsushima Island."

At this point, Taishi Ci's tone turned icy cold: "Those savages of Zhuima Island are truly despicable! At first, they were afraid of the might of our Great Han Dynasty and showed some consideration for Jiang Qin. But after learning that he had barely escaped with his life and was eager to return home to report the news, they actually harbored improper thoughts, imprisoning Jiang Qin here and having him mate with them here. It's truly outrageous!"

"what?"

This left not only Su Yao stunned, but even Wan Nian gasped in surprise. After understanding, Shafia's amber eyes widened as she stared at Taishi Ci in disbelief.

"You said...breeding?" Su Yao repeated, almost thinking he had misheard.

Taishi Ci's face was ashen, his teeth clenched: "The indigenous tribes of Duma Island, seeing that Jiang Qin was tall and strong, unlike the short men on the island, actually... actually regarded him as a superior stallion, forcibly imprisoning him in a cave and forcing him to have sex with the women of their tribe in the hope of improving their bloodline! Jiang Qin resisted to the death, and was then brutally beaten and tortured. When we found him, the deputy envoy was only wrapped in tattered rags, locked in the deepest part of the cave, surrounded by more than a dozen burly, short, dark-skinned tribal women."

"That's unreasonable!"

Upon hearing this, the Empress Wu Zetian's phoenix eyes widened, and her whole body trembled: "Our Han Dynasty envoys represent the majesty of the Celestial Empire! How dare these island barbarians be so presumptuous? It is an insult to us!"

Safia clenched her fists, her amber eyes filled with disbelief—in the Kushan and Parthian Empires, even defeated nobles would never suffer such humiliation, let alone envoys from another country. This trampling of dignity had long since transcended the realm of war, degenerating into a barbaric act of violence.

Su Yao slowly raised his hand, the golden pestle humming in his palm, silver-blue lightning winding along the pestle, reflecting a chilling light in his eyes.

To be honest, Su Yao could understand the actions of these savages. The Japanese of this era were short in stature, generally only about 1.1 or 1.2 meters tall, and their level of civilization was extremely low. Standing next to the burly Han people, they looked exactly like goblins and humans in later island fantasy works.

In an effort to improve their racial genes, the Japanese have a long history of intermarriage, with numerous stories and legends surrounding it. This practice began formally after the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak during the Northern Song Dynasty. Simultaneously, the Japanese treated Chinese immigrants across the sea with great favor, attracting and accommodating a large number of Han Chinese settlers. Through a long process of assimilation and evolution, their physical stature improved to at least a level that was not dwarfistic.

However, whether it was the Japanese coming to China to settle their people or the Han people crossing the sea to the east, at least they were friendly exchanges based on mutual consent. But the savages of Tsushima Island who imprisoned and "bred" the Han envoys like livestock was a blatant act of barbarity and an extreme provocation against the might of the Han Dynasty!

"The savages of Tsushima want to improve the bloodline of their tribe??"

Su Yao said coldly, "Fine! Then I'll make them go straight to the underworld and let them be reincarnated as a different race!"
