"I can't ask for it." Qin Yining smiled and cupped his hands.
Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue also respectfully bowed to Lu Yun.
The two sides humbly entered the grass hut.
The light in the grass shed was unexpectedly bright, because the roof leaked air everywhere, and the sunlight poured into every corner along the gap. There was only a straw mat, a quilt on the ground, a few large flat stones in the corner, a porcelain cup and a porcelain pot on it, a small mud stove on the ground, an iron pot sitting on top of it, and water was boiling in it.
Such a great scholar would rather live in such a humble place for the sake of the warship that is about to be demolished by the imperial court. Qin Yining couldn't help being awe-inspiring, and when he entered the grass hut, he gave Lu Yun the salute when a woman saw her elders.
"Mr. Lu is so dedicated to the country, I really admire the concubine's body, and please accept the concubine's body to worship."
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi also sincerely salute again.
When Lu Yun heard the words, she couldn't help feeling moved, and she quickly reached out to help her: "Princess, please forgive me. This is what the old man should do. The old man would like to thank the prince for his willingness to help, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be no one left in this ship."
During the conversation, several people sat around the big stone.
Lu Yun took a porcelain pot, took a handful of tea leaves from a small clay pot, and brewed a pot of tea with thick leaves.
"This place is very simple, and the princess is just a wild food." Lu Yun poured tea for Qin Yining.
Qin Yining hurriedly held the teacup with both hands and smiled, "Thank you sir."
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi did not dare to bother Lu Yun, so they took the teapot and poured the tea themselves.
A few people sat down again, and Qin Yining said straight to the point: "When the concubine came, the lord had already instructed the situation at the seaside. I wonder if the master has chosen the boat to keep?"
Lu Yun sighed lightly, the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with sadness and reluctance, "Seriously, these warships, the old man is really reluctant to give up one, but unfortunately the court has ordered people to start the work, and the old man is powerless. To prevent it, we can only use the relationship to quietly leave some newer and better warships parked on the seaside side outside the dock. Ships, half of the hundreds of warships have been dismantled."
When Lu Yun said this, she shook her head and sighed, pointing to the direction of the city: "We are starting construction, how many veterans of the old navy are crying. These old guys who protected this sea area and mountains and rivers, People are not dead yet, but the boat is going to be torn down in good condition."
Qin Yining sighed: "This is also a helpless move. The villain is slandering, and the sage has issued an decree. It is impossible not to tear it down. Fortunately, we have other countermeasures, so we can try our best to protect some."
"Yes. This is the seed of fire, and it is also the hope of the Great Zhou Navy in the future." When Lu Yun said this, the conversation changed, "When does the lord plan to do it?"
Lu Yun asked in a general way, but Qin Yining had already understood his meaning 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 story to others, and said with a smile: "If there is no accident, I will choose to start tomorrow evening. Do you need to prepare in advance?"
"Prepare?" Lu Yun smiled, "Since the princess has everything planned, the old man will not interfere with the princess' 'preparation'. The old man doesn't know anything, just came here to blow 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 would not be able to save the warship for nothing, and they would use the warship to do something, but he didn't ask in detail.
Therefore, people who are not curious can be safe in this dynasty.
"It's good that Mr. Lu is so elegant. The seaside is windy and humid, so Mr. Lu has to take good care of his body."
"Yeah. The old man plans to leave here later."
After a few chats for a while, Qin Yining respectfully said goodbye.
When Qin Yining took the people away, Lu Yun got out of the grass hut and looked at the warships docked on the pier not far away and the workers who were in full swing dismantling the ships, her eyes gradually became complicated.
Prince Zhongshun did not know whether he could keep the warship or not. I heard that the sage found the whereabouts of the treasure and has already left the capital. I just hope that the sage will focus on the treasure instead of asking about it.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so approachable." Xie Yue sighed while walking by the sea.
Xu Weizhi smiled and said, "Mr. Lu is a smart person. Since he has already asked the prince and agreed to the prince's conditions, naturally he will not do any more unnecessary things." He turned to look at Qin Yining, "We will start tomorrow night, Shouldn't it be time for them to be ready?"
"Yeah." Qin Yining's expression became stern, and he said solemnly, "When we go back, let Mr. Liao bring the people he's looking for. Let's leave the inn early in the morning."
"Yes." Both of them nodded.
After a night of silence, Qin Yining and his party left the inn early the next morning. Everyone was in charge of their own affairs, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.
When night fell, the workers on the dock were still busy dismantling ships. A few lanterns hang high, and they don't really play a big role on the huge pier, but the swaying waves on the sea are very beautiful.
In the corner where no one was found, several small boats slowly approached the warships docked on the periphery through the dark. One after another silhouettes boarded more than 30 warships one after another. Immediately, someone lowered the rope and hoisted the heavy cages onto the two largest warships.
A quarter of an hour later, when the boat left the dock, a strange wind suddenly blew across the dock and knocked down a lantern on the table beside the shed.
The candle in the lantern quickly lit the grass hut next to it, and the fire took advantage of the wind, and the grass hut was lit up with a hula.
"Get out of the water! Get out of the water!" The workers who are dismantling the ship live in the shed on weekdays and at night. Today, they are not off work, so they are not in danger, but they all have some luggage and bedding in the shed.
There was a fire in the residence, and everyone didn't care about scrapping the ship, so panicked and ran to the shed to put out the fire.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the dock, the wood that was dismantled and piled up like a hill on the side was stained with sparks, and was swept up by the sea breeze.
"My God! It's a natural disaster!"
The workers and the steward couldn't care about anything at this time, and everyone hurriedly ran away from the dock.
I saw the wood and the wharf burn, and then the warships that were docked at the wharf and linked together by ropes were ignited one by one.
"This can, how can this be good!"
The local magistrate who came to hear the news saw that the warships were all set on fire, the entire pier fell into a sea of fire, and the damp wood burned out thick smoke, terrifying as if he had fallen into hell. on the ground.
It's over, it's over! The wood that the Holy One wanted was ruined like this!
