Chapter 1052 Destroy It

"I wish you nothing more." Qin Yining smiled and held his hands.

Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue also bowed respectfully to Lu Yun.

Both parties made concessions and entered the hay shed.

The light in the thatched shed was unexpectedly bright. Because the roof leaked from all directions, the sunlight filled every corner along the gaps. There was only a straw mat and a quilt on the ground, a few large flat stones in the corner, with porcelain cups and pots placed on them, and a small clay stove on the ground with an iron pot sitting on it, which was boiling water.

Such a great scholar would rather live in such a humble place for the sake of the warship that was about to be demolished by the imperial court. Qin Yining could not help but feel in awe. He entered the hut and gave Lu Yun the same courtesy as a woman meeting her elders.

"I really admire Mr. Lu for serving the country so wholeheartedly. Please accept my respect."

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi also saluted again sincerely.

When Lu Yun heard this, she couldn't help but feel moved, and quickly reached out her hand to support her: "Princess, please excuse me. This is what I should do, and I would like to thank you for your help, otherwise I might not be able to save even a single ship."

While talking, several people sat down around the big stone.

Lu Yun took the porcelain pot, took a handful of tea leaves from the small clay pot, and brewed a pot of tea carelessly.

"This place is very simple. The princess just wants to have a wild meal." Lu Yun poured tea for Qin Yining.

Qin Yining hurriedly held the teacup with both hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, sir."

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi did not dare to trouble Lu Yun, so they took the teapot and poured tea themselves.

After several people sat down again, Qin Yining said straight to the point: "When I came here, the prince had already informed me about the situation at the seaside. I wonder if you, sir, have chosen a ship to keep?"

Lu Yun sighed softly, with sadness and reluctance filling the corners of his eyes and brows, "To be honest, I can't bear to part with any of those warships. It's a pity that the imperial court issued a decree and the Ministry of Works arranged for people to start construction, but I couldn't do anything. To stop it, we could only use our connections to quietly park some newer and better warships outside the dock on the sea side. Even if they were to be dismantled, the ones inside would be dismantled first. It’s just that building a ship is difficult, but dismantling it is easy. These workers dismantled it in turn. Ships, half of the hundreds of warships have been dismantled."

When Lu Yun said this, he shook his head and sighed, pointed in the direction of the city and said: "How many veterans of the Navy are crying when we start construction. These old guys who have protected this sea and mountains and rivers, No one is dead yet, but the ship is in good condition and about to be dismantled.”

Qin Yining sighed: "This is also a helpless move.

The villain is slandering, and the Holy Father has issued an edict. It is impossible not to tear it down. Fortunately, we have other countermeasures. At least we can try our best to save some. "

"Yes. This is the fire, and it is also the hope of the Great Zhou Navy in the future." When Lu Yun said this, the topic changed, "When does the prince plan to take action?"

Lu Yun asked in a general way, but Qin Yining had already understood what he meant from Lu Yun's eyes that seemed to see everything clearly.

This old man is really a wise man, he may have guessed something.

Qin Yining, however, would not directly hand over the conversation to others, and said with a smile: "If there is no accident, we will choose to do it tomorrow evening. We need to make some preparations in advance, right?"

"Preparation?" Lu Yun smiled, "Since the princess has arranged everything, I will not interfere with the princess and her people's preparations. I don't know anything, I just came here to enjoy the sea breeze and look at the warships. .”

Hearing what he said, Qin Yining was naturally satisfied. Lu Yun was a smart person and had already guessed that they could not save the warship for nothing and would use the warship to do something, but he did not ask in detail.

Therefore, only those who are not curious can be safe in this court.

"It's really good that Mr. Lu is so elegant. It's windy and humid at the beach, so Mr. Lu should take good care of himself."

"Yes. I plan to leave here later."

The few chatted for a while, and Qin Yining respectfully left.

After Qin Yining led the people away, Lu Yun got out of the hut and looked at the warship docked at the dock not far away and the workers who were busy dismantling the ship, her eyes gradually became complicated.

Prince Zhongshun did not know whether he could save the warship. He heard that the Holy Emperor had found the whereabouts of the treasure and had left Kyoto. He only hoped that the Holy Emperor would focus on the treasure and not interfere here.

"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so approachable." Xie Yue sighed while walking on the beach.

Xu Weizhi smiled and said: "Mr. Lu is a smart man. Since he has already asked the prince and agreed to his conditions, he will naturally not do anything extra." He turned to Qin Yining and said, "We will start tomorrow night. Isn’t it time to tell them to be ready at any time?”

"Yes." Qin Yining's face calmed down and she said seriously, "When we get back, let Mr. Liao bring the person we are looking for. Let's leave the inn early tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Both of them nodded in agreement.

After a night of silence, Qin Yining and his party left the inn early the next morning. Everyone was minding their own business, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

As night fell, workers on the dock were still busy dismantling the ship. A few lanterns are hung high, which actually doesn't have much effect on such a large pier, but the cool waves swaying on the sea are very beautiful.

In an undiscovered corner, several small boats slowly approached the warship docked outside in the darkness. One after another, figures boarded more than thirty warships. Immediately, someone lowered the ropes and hoisted the heavy boxes and cages onto the two largest warships.

A quarter of an hour after the boat left the dock, a strange wind suddenly blew by the shore of the dock and knocked down a lantern on the table next to the work shed.

The candle in the lantern quickly lit up the straw hut nearby. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the hay hut connected with the hay hut burst into flames.

"Water broke out! Water broke out!" The workers who were dismantling the ship usually lived in the work shed at night. They did not get off work today to avoid danger. However, they had some luggage and bedding placed in the work shed.

There was a fire in the residence, and everyone ran to the shed to put out the fire in a panic, not caring about dismantling the ship.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the pier, the hill-like wood piled aside from the dismantled ships was stained with sparks. It was swept up by the sea breeze and caught fire with a roar. The fire quickly ignited and swept across the entire pier in the strong wind.

"Oh my god! It's a natural disaster!"

The workers and stewards didn't care about anything at this time, and everyone ran away from the dock in a hurry.

I saw the wood and the dock burning, and then the warships docked at the dock and connected by ropes were set alight one by one.

"This, what can we do!"

The local magistrate who came over after hearing the news saw that the warships were set on fire and the entire dock was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames. The moist wood was burning with thick smoke. It was terrifying as if he had fallen into hell. The magistrate's legs softened and he knelt down. on the ground.

It's over, it's all over! The wood that the Lord wanted was destroyed like this!
