Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"No one can slack off. Those who are not injured should immediately gather on the platform below. The injured do not need to gather there for the time being."

Looking at the Dragon Scale Army soldiers lying lazily around him, Ning Fan knew that discipline must be re-established at this time, otherwise these soldiers would probably become mutinous when they arrived on the island.

After counting the number of people, there were about 800 injured people, and about 1,700 people who were intact and uninjured.

The pirates had ready-made food, and the cooking soldiers quickly prepared hot rice soup. Every soldier was full and began to collect the bodies of his own people on the beach.

The corpses of the pirates were still disposed of in the same way as last time, by directly lighting a bonfire and burning them.

"Your Majesty, after a rough calculation, there are a total of more than twenty granaries, and each granary stores at least tens of thousands of kilograms of grain."

Qin Ying went out for a walk and came back happily, and he secretly told Ning Fan that there were two gold cellars on the island.

"Your Majesty, I took a cursory look at these two gold vaults. There are at least 100,000 kilograms of gold stored in them. This is a huge amount of wealth. I really don't know how many years it took these pirates to get this wealth. Save it up.”

Qin Ying said quietly in Ning Fan's ear.

Only Qin Ying and Ning Fan know this news, and a few close friends know it. The news must not spread. Once these soldiers know that there is such a large amount of gold stored on the island, many people will have dissatisfaction. .

Ning Fan understood this truth, and Qin Ying naturally understood this truth, so he strictly sealed the matter of the two golden cellars and did not allow anyone to talk about it.

As for the hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food on the island, it was an unexpected blessing for Ning Fan. Where did this food come from? Ning Fan was actually very confused. Logically speaking, if he relied on pirates to plunder, he would definitely not be able to accumulate so much food.

"Take someone to see if there is any way to repair the big ship? Remember that repairing the big ship is the most important thing."

Ning Fan is most concerned about the problem of the big ship. If the big ship cannot be repaired, then everyone will not be able to return to the coast.

Fortunately, there were dozens of boatmen on board, which was a bit of a precaution. These craftsmen who built the boats were very familiar with the structure of the boats. Under the leadership of Qin Ying, they reboarded the boat that had been stranded on the coast. Big ship.

From the moment these technicians boarded the ship, Ning Fan's heart started pounding. He was worried about whether the ship could be repaired.

But the result told Ning Fan that he was afraid of what he was afraid of. After dozens of technicians got off the ship, the expressions on their faces were very ugly.

They did not say in front of everyone that the ship was beyond repair, but quietly walked into Ning Fan's tent.

On this island far away from the coast, any news must be blocked, not externally, but internally.

Because any tiny piece of news, once disclosed, is likely to trigger a rebellion among a large number of soldiers.

"You are saying that this ship cannot be repaired in a short time."

Ning Fan stared at the dozens of technicians with an unhappy expression.

"Your Majesty, it's not that it can't be repaired in a short time, but that this ship has lost its repair value. The pirates who cut the ship are very tricky in where they start. They specifically pick the weakest parts of the keel to start, and they cut through the places. The structure of the entire ship has been changed. Even if the leaks are plugged, once it is hit by wind and waves at sea, the hull will completely disintegrate!"

Several technicians said to Ning Fan with sad faces.

Ning Fan looked cold, and his expression remained unchanged as he listened to several technicians telling the truth that the ship could not be repaired.

The big ship cannot be repaired, and there have been big fish in the sea in recent days. It is impossible to return to the shore in a short time. However, Ning Fan is not discouraged. He has other ways.

Although the court lost a warship, which was a huge loss, for Ning Fan, the wealth gained from the pirates could also make up for the loss.

The only problem facing Ning Fan now is how to get back to the shore. Staying on this island always means that he, the emperor, has lost contact with the country's political power.

Others can be trapped on the island, but Ning Fan cannot. He must return to the shore as quickly as possible.

"How about you go see those pirate ships?"

Ning Fan ordered Qin Ying.

"Your Majesty, the pirate shipmates have seen it. It is very crude. It will be very risky to sail on the sea, and there have been wind and waves in recent days."

Qin Ying looked bitter. Of course he knew the situation Ning Fan was facing now, but if Ning Fan was allowed to take a pirate ship and sail towards the coastline, he might encounter more risks along the way.

"I can't worry about it too much. I'm leaving this afternoon."

Ning Fan gritted his teeth and said.

"I'll leave first. You take these people to station on the island and guard the things on the island. In a few days, the second and third ships from the shipyard will be launched. At that time, I will send a ship as soon as possible. Coming to pick you up."

After Ning Fan thought for a while, he gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk and return to land as quickly as possible!

In the land of Dakang, Ning Fan was the emperor, but once he left Dakang and came to the vast sea, Ning Fan's power would be weakened indefinitely. This feeling was very bad for Ning Fan. It made him feel that the situation he faced was very difficult, and even when he went to bed at night, he felt that he was surrounded by danger.

In the afternoon, the wind and waves finally calmed down a bit. Ning Fan went to the simple dock made by Pirate Gate. Surrounded by more than a hundred Jin Yiwei, Ning Fan and the Jin Yiwei divided into five pirate ships and began to sail towards the land.

It was raining in the sky and the coastline in the distance could not be seen clearly. Ning Fan could only rely on a general sense of direction to drive towards the coast. He asked everyone to take turns shaking the oars so that the boat would drive towards the land at the fastest speed. But even so, the ship was still far away from land after traveling for most of the night.

In the second half of the night, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and heavy rain poured down. There was no drainage facility on the ship, so we had to rely on manpower to pour the water out of the ship with buckets.

The Jin Yiwei on the big ship didn't sleep a wink all night. The sky cleared up early the next morning, and when the sun came out, everyone looked haggard with panda eyes.

The ship traveled in the wind and waves all morning. In the afternoon, everyone finally saw the coast in the distance. Ning Fan couldn't help it and felt relieved.
