Chapter 160: The Lost Dog

The coastline of Qinghe Prefecture stretches for hundreds of miles, but there are only two places that are really suitable as harbors.

Although there are two places, there is only one place that can be used.

One of them is located in a small fishing village, and now the villagers of the small fishing village have long been dispersed and requisitioned by the sailors.

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 sailors who came to arrest the Qin River are docked at the harbor outside the small fishing village.

Now that the vicinity of the port is heavily guarded, it is almost impossible to get close on weekdays.

Of course, that's only relative.

Although it is heavily guarded, it is actually just what it seems.

These sailors who were transferred from the other two provinces can be said to be extremely lazy.

If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing the skin of a sailor, it is estimated that others would still think that these were some sea cowards.

Early this morning, Zhao Qiong got up early.

It's not because there is anything important to do, but today he was invited by Master Li Tianhe Li to go to Qingqing Mansion for a banquet.

As for why the banquet was held so early, it is actually very simple......

That is the fourth day of the new January, and they need to knock on the new Taishou of Qinghe Prefecture.

Although this matter was mentioned last time, it has been seven days since the calculation was made.

And the new Taishou did not make the slightest movement.

Qingqing Building.

Li Tianhe has hardly left here since he came to Qinghe City.

Seeing that Yuan He hadn't made any moves after seven days, he couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied.

I just called Zhao Qiong today, and I was going to beat the surnamed Yuan again.

When Zhao Qiong arrived at Qingqing Building, he went directly to his room.

Just as the two were discussing how to knock Yuan He, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Before Li Tianhe could get angry, he heard an anxious voice outside.

Zhao ...... Lord Zhao...... Not good! Oh no! ”

Seeing the people outside the door shouting to him, Zhao Qiong's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

The voice of the person outside the door Zhao Qiong is familiar, who can it be if it is not his subordinate?

"What's all the fuss? Didn't you see that I was discussing with Master Li about exterminating Qin Kou? ”

Zhao Qiong came to the door with a cold face, and after pushing them away, he looked at the people outside the door and scolded coldly.

If it was another time, how could his subordinates dare to talk back at all, and they could only obediently admit their mistakes.

But this time, the subordinates who were supposed to be obedient did not admit their mistakes at all.

On the contrary, as soon as he finished speaking, he continued.

"Your Excellency...... That Qin Kou took the initiative to attack! ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Qiong was stunned for a few breaths before he reacted.

But even if he had reacted, the expression on his face was still incredulous.

"What? You said that Qin Kou took the initiative to call the door? ”

Zhao Qiong's eyes widened, staring at the subordinates in front of him, as if he wanted to see the signs of lying from the changes in his expression.

Qin Kou took the initiative to attack?

Are you kidding?

They didn't attack Qin Kou, it was the blessing that the kid surnamed Qin had accumulated for several lifetimes!

Now it's the initiative to attack them?

It's not that Zhao Qiong doesn't want to believe it, but after he has been in charge for so long, he has never heard of any bandits who dare to take the initiative to attack the officials in the yamen!

What's more, they were still in the camp where the sailors gathered.

However, no matter how Zhao Qiong looked at it, he didn't see the slightest sign of lying from the person under him.

On the contrary, he saw the horror in the eyes of his subordinates.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhao Qiong asked his subordinates to explain the matter in detail.

In the process of Zhao Qiong's words, even Li Tianhe came up to listen.

It was also this morning, about an hour after Zhao Qiong left.

In the distance of the harbor where they were, a large ship with three bows appeared.

Originally, the officers and soldiers of these sailors thought it was just an ordinary shopping mall, so they didn't care.

But as the three-bow ship continued to approach, someone finally discovered the clue.

What kind of merchant ship is this!

It's clearly a three-bow warship!

In particular, the black holes and cannon muzzles exposed on both sides of the hull made the officers and men of the sailor division even more frightened.

It stands to reason that it's not too late to strike back.

But at present, these officers and soldiers who have already been softened by their wealth, how can they still have the slightest idea of resisting?

When the ship approached, a roar followed.

As for the person who came to report the news, he also ran over directly as soon as he found out.

When they looked away, they found that the entire camp of the sailors was flooded with artillery fire.

As for those officers and soldiers who are invincible in the eyes of the common people, they have long been like lost dogs at this moment, fleeing in all directions.

When the truth of the matter was revealed, the faces of Zhao Qiong and Li Tianhe were already difficult to see to the extreme.

Especially when he heard that the entire sailor camp was annihilated in the artillery fire, there was no blood on his face!

It's a shame to put such a thing anywhere!

Not to mention......

The other side is only coming with a three-bow warship!

Oh, yes!

The three-bow warship will beat the entire sailor camp to the chickens and dogs!

Is this still a sailor?

This is not even as good as a lost dog!

After a long time, Zhao Qiong and Li Tianhe came back to their senses.

The pale face could no longer see the slightest hint of the previous spring breeze pride.

Zhao Qiong glanced at his subordinates and shouted with an ugly face.

"Go back! Retooling! ”

After his subordinates got the order, they had to leave in a huff.

Obviously, Zhao Qiong's men were not willing to go back at this moment.

For no other reason, who knows if those guys are still there?

If you want to go at this time, isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

But he had to listen to the orders of the adults.

But even so, it's not impossible.

Just slow down as much as you can on the way back, and when you get there, you can't tell if the guys will be gone.

Thinking about it, even the pace of walking out of Qingqinglou was a lot slower.

waited until his subordinates left, and Zhao Qiong closed the box door.

Looking at Li Tianhe, who also looked ugly, Fang asked respectfully.

"Master Li, you see ...... this matter"

When Li Tianhe heard Zhao Qiong's words, he also came back to his senses.

"I'll report it!"

When Zhao Qiong heard this, there was no trace of blood on his already pale face.

If this matter is reported, let alone his official position, it is estimated that he will not even be able to save this little life!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Qiong was so frightened that his legs weakened and he fell directly to the ground.

"Master Li! Please also ask Master Li to be clear! The matter ...... This matter ......"

Zhao Qiong, who originally wanted to defend himself, said it several times in a row but failed to find a suitable excuse.

After all, Li Tianhe was listening from the sidelines, and it was impossible to quibble!

The three-bow warship directly wiped out their entire sailor camp!

In such a case, what is it that is not a capital offense?

Seeing that there was no way to quibble, Zhao Qiong could only kowtow and beg for mercy again and again.

"Master Li! I also hope that Lord Li will spare the official's life! ”
