When Lu Yun heard the words, she couldn't help but feel anxious, "Your Highness is a sworn brother of the Sage. If Your Highness is willing to nod your head, this matter will definitely be accomplished!"
Pang Xiao smiled wryly and waved his hand, "Lu Gong is a sensible person, don't you understand the situation of this king?"
Having said this, Pang Xiao pondered for a moment, and said bluntly: "This king has been a military marshal and a senior scholar in Wuyingdian, and now he is idle here. Although he is still a cabinet minister, he may not have been in touch with the court for a long time. Except for a prince with a different surname. The title of the king is there, what capital do you think this king has left? Is there any way to convince the sage?"
Lu Yun knew that what Pang Xiao said was the truth, and was surprised that Pang Xiao was so outspoken. But now, when looking up at the court, only Pang Xiao can have a fight. He wants to come to Pang Xiao to fight for his country for many years. Various past experiences also show that he has a benevolent heart. .
Even if he stood in the camp of the Lu Pai aristocratic family due to his background and so on, he still trusted Pang Xiao's character and ability.
Lu Yun said solemnly: "My lord, listen to me, it was only a few years before the construction of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Now it seems that the world is unified, but in fact there are many hidden dangers, one day there will be a battle sooner or later, this is one of them.
"On the other hand, when the dynasty is gradually stable and prosperous, do you still take care of yourself in the circle we have demarcated? Don't you want to go overseas to take a look? The old man has studied it carefully for many years, and he knows the foreign things abroad. With my teacher', we can learn from some of the culture and customs of the barbarian clan in Dazhou! Don't we need to use a boat at that time
"The most important thing, 'being prepared for danger' is something that we must consider. Who can guarantee that people from overseas will not have other thoughts about me Da Zhou? If there are barbarians coming by boat, could it be that I am Da Zhou Erlang? Can only stand on the shore to resist and let people approach me at will? Can I starve the fishermen to death? The importance of this warship is already obvious."
When Lu Yun said the excitement, her voice was raised, "I'm not a mediocre person, so I can naturally understand. But after years of fighting, many inheritances have long been cut off. If there are people who are good at boat building and there are descendants alive, they will need to use boats in the future. When we can do it at our fingertips, the old man will not be so anxious about the ship breaking."
"Your Majesty is ambitious, and you will need more inheritance from your Majesty to be stable. The purpose of protecting the warship this time is to leave fire for rebuilding the navy, and to prepare for the stability of our coastal defense. It's more important than the construction of the imperial mausoleum!" Hands over to Pang Xiao, Lu Yunzuo said, "I also ask the prince to lend a helping hand, the old man is very grateful!"
Pang Xiao hurriedly got up to avoid the ceremony, and supported Lu Yun's arm with both hands to make him stand up.
"Duke Lu has a long-term plan and is dedicated to the country. This king really admires it. This king naturally hopes that the country's sea and borders will be free from intrusion. It's just... "
"The old man is well aware of the embarrassing situation of the prince, but he still came to ask for it. He also asked the prince to consider the people along the coast of Da Zhou, and consider the stability of the river and mountains in Da Zhou!"
"... Well, let this king think about it."
The two sat back to their original places, Pang Xiao turned the lid on the tea bowl in his hands and lowered his eyes in thought.
Lu Yun picked up the tea bowl and took several mouthfuls to moisten his throat, then looked at Pang Xiao expectantly.
The room was quiet, the self-ringing bell standing in the corner made a tick, and the birds outside the green window screen were singing crisply on the flowers and trees outside the window.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Pang Xiao's low and magnetic voice broke the silence in the room.
"Lu Gong, this king has thought of a way to keep some of the warships. But this king also has a condition."
Hearing this, Lu Yun felt relieved. If Pang Xiao did not mention any conditions, he would feel abnormal.
"My lord, please speak."
Pang Xiao said: "As for the reservation of the warship, I also ask Duke Lu to listen to this king's advice and act in accordance with this king's actions. We cannot make decisions privately. And what this king wants to do, I also ask Duke Lu not to say much."
Lu Yunshouxing's wise eyes narrowed slightly under his long eyebrows, as if thinking about the pros and cons of what Pang Xiao said and himself.
After a long time, Lu Yun said, "Can the lord guarantee to keep the warship?"
Pang Xiao said bluntly: "I can't guarantee to keep all of them, but it is still possible to leave some of the fire for future generations to study when building ships."
Isn't that exactly what Lu Yun asked for
Thinking of this, Lu Yuncang clapped his arm around the chair, "Okay. Your Highness, please instruct me."
"Also ask Duke Lu to come over."
Pang Xiao and Lu Yun approached each other, and Pang Xiao whispered.
Lu Yun's complexion changed a few times, and Fang said for a long time, "As expected of the God of War Lord, who is decisive and decisive, he has the courage to come up with such a method! Good. This matter doesn't need anyone else, and there is a greater risk of leaking too many people. , the old man can do it.”
Pang Xiao cupped his hands and said, "Gong Lu is really dedicated to serving the country and understands righteousness. He is a role model for my younger generation."
Lu Yun waved her hand, and her expression was a little tired, as if she had taken off the shackles and put on new ones.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to praise the old man so much. Although the old man is old and doesn't participate in court affairs, he is not a stupid person. Your Majesty can do things for himself and think more about the people. This is the luck of the world." Standing up, Lu Yun replied. Zhang Pang Xiao bowed his hands, "As for the protection of the warship, please keep your promise."
Pang Xiao stood up and returned the salute, "Don't worry, Duke Lu. This king will never break his promise."
"Okay, the old man will go to Jingang first and wait for the news of the prince. Farewell."
Pang Xiao personally escorted Lu Yun to the gate, and Lu Yun stopped Pang Xiao's pace in time and left the palace alone.
When Pang Xiao returned to the inner house, he informed Qin Yining of the matter.
The "Zuo Zhuan" in Qin Yining's hand did not turn a page for a long time, and slowly put it down for a long time, and said softly: "It's also difficult for that great Confucian. After half a lifetime, he has to join the court."
"Born in this world, even if you want to avoid the tediousness, how can you get everything you want?" Pang Xiao sat next to Qin Yining, and as soon as he stretched out his long arms, he hugged her on his lap, wrapped his arms around hers and rubbed his cheeks. Her neck, "Now you and I can have the opportunity to rest here in peace, without having to participate in external affairs for the time being, it is already a great luck."
"Yeah. I'll take advantage of this time to make some more clothes for you."
"Just ask someone else to do it. Careful eyes are tired."
"Do you want to wear underwear made by others?" Qin Yining squeezed Pang Xiao's arm with a smile, and when he was surprised, he turned away from his embrace, got up and went to the mahogany cabinet to take out a bag, looked back and smiled, "Come and see if the size is suitable or not. If there is something inappropriate, I can change it."
Pang Xiao stood up, his phoenix eyes looking straight into Qin Yining's large pair of water-cut eyes, the slender fingers with sharp knuckles slowly unbuttoned his undress, gradually revealing his snow-white undershirt and firm chest.
Qin Yining looked away in panic, and immediately felt a hot body pressed against her back.
"Sister Yi, don't you want me to try it on?"
Qin Yining's cheeks flew into the air, and with a snort, she took out a coat and shook it away, then turned around and waited for him to put it on.
"You can do it. Carefully, I hide a needle inside and pierce you."
Pang Xiao obediently stretched out his arms, raised his hands and raised his neck, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "If that's the case, wouldn't you be the first one to feel distressed?"
Qin Yining gave him an angry look and spat: "What a shame."
The days of recuperation in Danford County were very comfortable. The two only accepted the news from all parties and analyzed the situation. Pang Xiao and Qin Yining really recovered well.
Pang Xiao has been fighting all year round, and he has suffered numerous major and minor injuries. Now he is young and strong, but Qin Yining is also worried that his illness will come to him when he is old, and suggested to invite a reliable doctor to take care of Pang Xiao.
Her own physical foundation is also good, but she has been displaced and exhausted. Now that she has time to spare, Qin Yining follows the medicated recipes left by Bingtang, and she also learns boxing with Pang Xiao every day, and practice riding and archery. He was at ease, and his face was even more rosy than before.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Yining received a letter from Bingtang.
After Qin Yining read the letter, Yue Yu's good mood disappeared and turned to worry.
Pang Xiao sat opposite her studying the military book. Seeing her delicate brows were wrinkled, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong? What did Bingtang say?"
Qin Yining handed the letter to Pang Xiao, "It turned out that Boss Qiu was mistaken by a quack doctor. After seeing Bingtang, she said that Boss Qiu did not have malaria, but with her medical skills, she could not tell what kind of disease Boss Qiu had. Now Qiu The boss has a headache during the day and can't sleep. I don't think this symptom is much better than malaria."
Pang Xiao glanced through the letter quickly, and became worried, "I don't know what the idiot is in a hurry. I just hope that Boss Qiu is safe."
"They are a family of three. For our business, we should stay together and stay away more. Brother Yan is still young, so boys can be better when they follow male elders. I think if it's not a big deal, it's better to let Young Master Mu stay at home more."
Pang Xiao nodded with a smile, "Okay. I'll listen to you."
Qin Yining also laughed.
At this time, there was only peace left around the two of them, and neither of them were willing to mention those troubles, because even if some things were not mentioned, they would still come.
A few days later, news came from Pang Xiao's people, and Pang Xiao invited Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi to the main hall of the inner house, and called Qin Yining to discuss important matters together.
"My lord, but there is news from Uncle Zhongyi?" As soon as he sat down, Xie Yue went straight in.
Pang Xiao nodded, "Uncle Zhongyi is finally about to start moving."
Xu Weizhi put down the tea bowl. He has been a little cold for the past two days, and his voice is always hoarse when he speaks.
"In these days, I heard that Mr. Zhongyi is buying new materials and looking for buyers for those defective products that are not needed to be replaced. If you want to come to Saint, you are not rich, and it is a good thing to be able to discount the defective products. "
Hearing the sarcasm in Xu Weizhi's words, everyone couldn't help but raise the corners of their lips.
Just thinking of the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, everyone can't laugh.
In the autumn harvest season, the heavy rain in the south lasted for two seasons, and it is unknown whether the granaries in various places are full and how long they can last.
Qin Yining thought the same as everyone else.
Perhaps what Cheng Zhixian worried about is coming step by step.
