"Your Highness, ships have appeared near the port, and these also belong to Westerners," Zhou Zhou reported as soon as he received the news from his subordinates.
Qi Haoran slowly finished his breakfast before asking, "Have they docked?"
"No, they're just loitering around the port and don't even dare to go near the coast."
"How many ships do they have, then?"
"Two." Zhou Zhou said, "The pirates said that they only have four ships in total."
Qi Haoran snorted coldly. "Then what are you afraid of? Transfer troops to surround the port. Have you returned the Westerners' ship?"
"Not yet." Zhou Zhou said, "I was thinking of returning it later."
As there were too many things, they had spent half the night yesterday moving the things. Also, they had to carry the seized cannons down. Unlike the incredibly strong Princess Consort, they had to slowly move the cannons down in order not to damage them. Therefore, they haven't had the time to return the ship.
