Blood Edict: The Japanese Pirate Spy

In the thirty-fourth year of the Jiajing reign, Japanese pirates ran rampant along the southeastern coast. Lu Tingchuan, a hundred-household commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was ordered to escort military supplies for the anti-pirate campaign. But he was framed as a traitor colluding with the enemy, and overnight went from law enforcer to wanted fugitive. To clear his name, he infiltrates the front lines and discovers that the real traitor is hiding among the Ming army’s senior ranks. On a battlefield awash in blood and fire, Lu Tingchuan must identify the mole and thwart the pirates’ terrifying conspiracy while his own comrades hunt him down. This is a brutal tale of espionage, loyalty, and betrayal, where lives hang in the balance.
