In just half a month, as the old fishermen had predicted, the tsunami arrived as expected. On that morning, the sun was shining brightly. Qingyan specially put all the quilts out to air in the courtyard, saying that she would take the twins out once the tsunami warning was lifted.
"Mother, Mother, weren't we supposed to stay here and go out?" Yiken'e changed into her outdoor clothes, preparing to go out with her parents after Yin returned.
She bent down and pinched Yiken's cheek. Ever since he came to the naval port, he had done his homework but had become very playful.
"Master, the Lord wants you to go to the watchtower quickly. The young masters are not going out today. A tsunami is coming!" Su Lan rushed in from outside, followed by Erlu and Yin's personal guards.
They surrounded the courtyard. If a tsunami came, these guards, all excellent swimmers, would take the three young masters to a safe place.
"Eru, you stay here to take care of the young masters. If they are in danger, you should know what I can do!" Qingyan understood that after the tsunami, the extent of the damage would be assessed, and the children in the courtyard were his biggest concern.
"This servant understands!" Erlu immediately accepted the order.
Qingyan glanced at the children, got into the sedan chair and left. Inside the sedan chair, Qingyan had already considered the worst possible outcome.
"Your Highness, I'll go with you. Let Suzhu stay here and take care of the young masters!" Sulan and Suzhu serve Qingyan together and understand her biggest worry. With the two of them by the young masters' side, Qingyan should feel at ease.
"Suzhu, why don't you go back and take care of Yiken'e and the others?" Qingyan thought for a moment and decided it would be better to leave a few familiar people with the children.
"This servant will stay with the young masters and wait for their return!" Su Zhu bowed to Qing Yan and then turned and went back to her courtyard.
On the observation deck, Yin and Yin stood by the window, looking at the distant coastline. The bamboo near the rocks had been broken by the giant waves, and some were floating in the waves. These things were all in danger.
"Brother, I think we need to move the children to a higher place!" Yin held a telescope, watching the movements on the coast, and decided to move the children ahead of schedule.
"Have someone tell Erlu that Songkelierha and Duoxihun should also be sent over!" Yin glanced at Yingenjueluo and the children, deciding to gather all the children together so that it would be easier for everyone to manage them.
"Father, I want to be with you!" Songkrilha, the eldest of the children, understood that this was a matter of life and death.
"We agreed that after the tsunami passes, Father will take you to see a play!" Yin smiled, preparing to give his daughter a smile.
Qingyan's eyes reddened as she watched the interaction between Yin and his daughter. Yin Genjueluo kissed Duoxi Hui's forehead and handed her over to the palace maid beside her.
"Little darling, have you settled the children in?" Yin took Qingyan's hand and led her to a corner, leaving the area for Yin's family to say goodbye.
"Everything is arranged. Suzhu and Erlu are with us. If..." Qingyan was about to speak when Yin covered her mouth.
“We’ll go back and go out with the children. Here’s a telescope, take a look at the situation over there!” Yin spent half a month setting up several obstacles between the coast and the naval port, and the fishermen felt they were well prepared.
The fishing villages built near the coast were all swallowed up by the huge waves, and Yin had to admit that moving the fishermen to the mountains was the best solution.
Faced with natural disasters, humans are truly insignificant and can only helplessly watch them wreak havoc.
"Fourth Brother, the fishing village over there has been leveled?!" Qingyan's almond-shaped eyes widened as she witnessed the power of a tsunami for the first time. "All the fishermen have moved away?"
Yin nodded. Initially, some elderly people did not intend to leave the village. Even if they encountered a disaster, it would be better if their old houses were flooded. However, Yin came up with a plan to invite these elderly people to the military port, saying that he wanted them to help check whether there were any potential safety hazards in the military port.
Afterwards, they were told that they could no longer return to the village because it had been blocked off. This excuse allowed them to safely relocate the old fishermen to the mountains.
The village chief was very happy to see the old fishermen coming and expressed his sincere gratitude to Yin.
Therefore, they became even more dedicated to helping the naval port build its outer perimeter obstacles, arranging those obstacles four days in advance.
"Of course, it was a good idea back then. Those old folks didn't want their life's hard work to just vanish like that!" Yin sighed.
Those fishermen were all elderly, and they didn't want to watch their homes be destroyed.
"Tulichen, safely deliver the two children to Yin's courtyard, and then safely transfer them to the courtyard behind the military port," Yin instructed Tulichen. "Yinxiang and Yin, you two come along too. You two are considered elders of Yiken'e and the others. If anything happens, you must take care of Yiken'e and the others, understand?"
Yin could not predict whether the tsunami would destroy the naval port, and as the general here, he had to sit on the watchtower.
"Big brother, we're not leaving!" Yinxiang shook his head, his eyes red. "We two want to stay with you, big brother and fourth brother!"
Yinxiang echoed what Yinxiang said, saying that they should follow their two older brothers.
“Thirteen, listen to your elder brother’s arrangements. Yiken’e and the others are too young. If something really happens, can they control the servants?” Yin walked over and took a memorial from his robes. “If your fourth sister-in-law and I are no longer here, take this memorial with you to the capital. You two uncles must take good care of Yiken’e and the others, understand?”
Yinxiang looked at Yin, took the memorial with trembling hands, and nodded vigorously.
"I have the same memorial here. Thirteen and Fourteen, you two must remember, in the worst-case scenario, the children will be in your care. No matter the outcome, you must not allow Songkelierha and Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen to be married off to Mongolia. They must stay in the capital. Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen is in greater danger, so you two must take good care of them!" Yin was worried about the future of each girl.
"Eldest brother, fourth brother, we await your safe return. If it is me and the fourteenth brother, we will definitely protect them and ensure that the two little girls grow up happily and have a good marriage!" Yinxiang replied.
"Yes, I will help Thirteenth Brother too!" Yin suddenly grew up. Without his older brothers' care, the two of them had to help the children protect them from the wind and rain.
"Send them away!" Yin waved his hand, signaling Tulichen to leave with his men quickly.
