The imperial army arrived the day after the Wokou pirates retreated. The leader was Commander Fang, who went on the ocean voyage with Royal Prince Yang. He was appointed the title of Zhenhai General and led ten thousand elite soldiers to guard the coastal area of Jinwei Prefectural City.

Not only that, but there was also a guarding station set up every ten kilometers along the coastal area, which was guarded by one hundred soldiers. At each location, they were required to build a watchtower, and two people were on watch for every shift. A guarding station was set up near Dongshan Village, and the watchtower was built on the cliff that Xiaocao and the others often gathered seafood at. 

When the group of soldiers passed by Dongshan Village, the villagers only dared to watch afar for fear that they would get into trouble. Since the guarding station was so close to the village, the village head was afraid that the soldiers would use their authority to force the villagers to give them things from to time! If Xiaocao could read his mind, she would definitely tell him, ‘Village Head Grandpa, you’re thinking too much. With the great Buddha Royal Prince Yang in our village, they wouldn’t dare to ‘pluck a tiger’s whiskers’ even if someone lent them some more courage!
