Chapter 416 Handover

During this period, the Heavenly Forge Bureau had been working day and night; the lost Treasure Ships had long been replenished, even with some to spare.

With the capabilities of the Treasure Ships, Luzhou in the North was theirs to roam at will.

Just then, a guard reported that a Heavenly Court Envoy had arrived, and Li Jing hastened to greet him, not daring to neglect the visitor.

This envoy was extremely polite to Li Jing, as everyone knew that a renowned Heavenly Court great general like Li Jing had nearly become an immovable Sea-Calming Divine Needle, best not to offend without good reason.

After exchanging a few cordial words, they got to the point. The envoy seemed somewhat embarrassed as he handed the imperial edict to Li Jing.

Having heard about the court assembly, he could guess the content of the imperial edict—it was likely commanding Li Jing to take a rest, although the envoy was not too clear on who would be his replacement.
