The coastline of Qinghe Prefecture stretches for hundreds of miles, but there are only two places that are truly suitable as ports.
Although there are two places, there is actually only one that can be used.
One of them is located in a small fishing village. Now the villagers of the small fishing village have long been dispersed and requisitioned by the navy.
As for the other place, it is because the road ahead is very dangerous and it takes a lot of effort to get there.
And now the navy that came to arrest Qin He docked at the harbor outside the small fishing village.
Nowadays, the port area is heavily guarded, and it is almost impossible to get close to it on weekdays.
Of course, that's only relative.
Although it is heavily guarded, it is only what it seems.
These naval forces dispatched from the other two provinces can be said to be extremely lazy.
If it weren't for the navy skin they wore, others might have thought these were pirates.
Early that morning, Zhao Qiong got up early.
It wasn't because he had something important to do, but today he was invited by the imperial envoy Li Tianhe and Mr. Li to go to the Qingqinglou for a banquet.
As for why the banquet was held so early, it is actually very simple...
That is, today is the fourth day of the new month, and they need to beat the new governor of Qinghe Prefecture.
Although this matter was mentioned last time, seven days have passed since then.
But the new prefect made no movement at all.
Qingqinglou.
Li Tianhe has almost never left Qinghe City since he called here.
Seeing that Yuan He had not made any move after seven days, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
I just happened to call Zhao Qiong today, so I was ready to give Yuan another beating.
When Zhao Qiong arrived at the Qingqing Building, he went directly to his room.
Just as the two were discussing how to beat Yuan He, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Before Li Tianhe could get angry, he heard anxious voices coming from outside.
"Zhao...Master Zhao...not good! Not good!"
Seeing the person outside the door calling him, Zhao Qiong couldn't help but frown slightly.
The voice of the man outside the door was certainly familiar to Zhao Qiong. Who could it be if it wasn't one of his men?
"What's all the fuss about? Didn't you see that I was discussing with Mr. Li about annihilating the Qin invaders?"
Zhao Qiong came to the door with a cold face. After pushing them away, he looked at the people outside and cursed coldly.
If it had been any other time, his subordinates would not have dared to talk back at all, and they would have had no choice but to admit their mistakes.
But this time, the subordinates who were supposed to be obedient showed no intention of admitting their mistakes.
On the contrary, he continued as soon as he finished speaking.
"Sir... then Qin Kou took the initiative to attack!"
Upon hearing these words, Zhao Qiong was stunned for a few breaths before he came to his senses.
But even after he had reacted, the expression on his face was still one of disbelief.
"What? You said Qin Kou took the initiative to come to the door?"
Zhao Qiong's eyes widened and he stared at the subordinate in front of him, as if he wanted to see signs of lying from the changes in his expression.
Qin Kou took the initiative to attack?
Are you kidding me?
The fact that they didn't attack the Qin invaders was the blessing that the boy named Qin had accumulated over his lifetime!
Now, are you taking the initiative to attack them?
It's not that Zhao Qiong doesn't want to believe it, it's that he has been in charge for so long and has never heard of any bandits daring to take the initiative to attack officials in the Yamen!
What's more, they were in a camp where naval forces gathered.
However, no matter how Zhao Qiong looked at it, he could not see the slightest sign of lying from his subordinate.
On the contrary, he could see the panic in his subordinates' eyes.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhao Qiong asked his men to explain the matter in detail.
While Zhao Qiong's men were narrating, even Li Tianhe came up and listened.
Just this morning, about an hour after Zhao Qiong left.
A large ship with three bows appeared in the distance on the harbor where they were.
Originally, these navy officers and soldiers thought it was just an ordinary shopping mall, so they didn't pay attention.
But as the three-prow ship continued to approach, someone finally discovered the clue.
What kind of merchant ship is this?
It is clearly a three-bow warship!
Especially the black hole muzzles exposed on both sides of the ship's hull made the navy officers and soldiers even more frightened.
Logically speaking, it is not too late to fight back at this time.
But now, how can these officers and soldiers, who have already been softened by wealth and sex, have the slightest idea of resistance?
As the ship approached, bursts of roaring followed.
As for the person who came to report the news, he ran over as soon as he found out.
When I walked further, I found that the entire naval camp was flooded by artillery fire.
As for those officers and soldiers who were arrogant in the eyes of the common people, they were already running around like bereaved dogs.
When the whole story was told, Zhao Qiong and Li Tianhe's expressions were extremely ugly.
Especially when I heard that the entire navy camp was annihilated by artillery fire, there was no color on my face!
Such a thing would be a shame and a disgrace no matter where it is seen!
not to mention……
The opponent only came with a three-prow warship!
yes!
The three-prow warship beat the entire naval camp to a pulp!
Is this still a naval engineer?
This is worse than a lost dog!
After a long time, Zhao Qiong and Li Tianhe finally came back to their senses.
The pale face no longer showed the slightest trace of the previous joy.
Zhao Qiong glanced at his men and shouted with an ugly expression.
"Go back! Reorganize your manpower!"
After receiving the order, his subordinates had no choice but to leave angrily.
Obviously, Zhao Qiong's people are not willing to go back at this moment.
There is no other reason. Who knows if those guys are still there?
If you want to go at this time, is it a sheep in a tiger's mouth?
But he had to obey the Lord's orders.
But even so, it's not impossible.
Just try to slow down as much as possible on the way back, and those guys may be gone by the time you wait.
Thinking about it, even the pace of walking out of the brothel slowed down a lot.
After his men left, Zhao Qiong closed the box door.
Looking at Li Tianhe who also looked ugly, he asked respectfully.
"Master Li, look at this..."
Li Tianhe also came to his senses when he heard Zhao Qiong's words.
"I will report this matter to you!"
When Zhao Qiong heard this, his already pale face lost all color.
If this matter were reported, let alone his official position, he might not even be able to save his life!
When he thought of this, Zhao Qiong was so frightened that his legs weakened and he fell to his knees directly.
"Master Li! Please give me some advice from Master Li! This matter...this matter..."
Zhao Qiong, who originally wanted to defend himself, tried several times but could not find a suitable excuse.
After all, Li Tianhe was listening from the sidelines, so it was impossible to quibble!
The three-bow warship directly destroyed their entire naval camp!
If this situation is not a capital crime, what is it?
Seeing that he had no way to argue, Zhao Qiong could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Master Li! I hope Master Li will spare the official's life!"
