Although there were many Golden Core cultivators watching on board, the armored soldiers of the River Patrol showed no deference at all, blatantly coming forward to demand money. They were not at all worried that the true cultivators from Mo Zhu Mountain on the bridge would take action.
Indeed, they would not take action. If Jiangji Trading Company wanted to do business with Li Country, then naturally the fleet had to comply with Li Country's laws by paying taxes and tolls, which was a reasonable and lawful matter.
Therefore, unless the River Patrol engaged in vandalism, malevolent seizure of goods, or arson, there was really no justification for striking these soldier-bandits.
Now that they had disrupted the drinking, Li Fan looked outside and saw that those official ships were still following. Were they deliberately causing trouble?
Hey, they were indeed deliberately picking a quarrel.
