When he discovered that the water transport commander suddenly disappeared, the water transport governor immediately walked quickly to the cabin. However, this time he did not go to the cabin where the commander was located, but turned to Xu Shixin's cabin.

There was a vague premonition in his heart, and he couldn't help but walk a little hastily.

Walking into Xu Shifen's cabin, there was no one around, and it was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy. The Governor of Water Transport paused, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He gently pushed open the cabin door, and it was empty inside, with only sunlight filtering through the windows.

Sprinkled on the ship's deck, there was a faint brilliance.

The Governor of Water Transport felt impatient and restless. He couldn't help but lift the bed curtain in the cabin.

However, the doubts in his heart were confirmed, the bed was empty, and there was no figure of Xu Shixin.

"Damn it!" the Governor of Water Transport roared angrily, and punched the bed board hard. The bed board shook slightly, and the echo echoed in the cabin.

He gritted his teeth, looked around unwillingly, and then returned to his cabin. A figure stood there quietly, seeming to be waiting for his return. The Governor of Water Transport was not surprised, he took a deep breath, and then

Spit it out slowly.

"Let him escape." The Governor of Water Transport said somewhat dejectedly, with helplessness and regret in his voice.

"Has he really lost his memory?" the figure asked calmly, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"It seems that Mr. Xu is not that simple. He must have discovered something that night." The Governor of Water Transport said in a deep voice, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

The figure was silent for a moment, and then said coldly: "If this is the case, then this secret memorial will be useless."

The figure gently lifted the veil, revealing a stern face.

It was the general, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

He took out a secret note stained with ink, which contained a request for Binzhou Guards Station to send troops to escort the fleet.

"It seems that he didn't believe anyone at that time." The general said in a low voice, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes. "But how did he get in touch with the commander-in-chief?"

The Governor of Water Transport frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly an idea struck him: "It should be before he wakes up for the second time!"

The general nodded slightly in agreement.

"Otherwise, why would so many people come to protect him?" Governor Cao Yun said to himself.

shore

When Zhao Chengchu heard that Zhu Yuanzhang's envoy had arrived, he immediately smiled.

"Your Excellency said that it is not convenient to see General Zhao now, and I would like to ask the general to handle the matter on his own." The envoy respectfully conveyed Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

"I understand." Zhao Chengchu nodded and agreed.

"General!" A soldier hurriedly walked to Zhao Chengchu's side.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Chengchu glanced at him.

"A Ming army came from the west, with about three thousand people!" the soldier reported.

"Got it." Zhao Chengchu waved his hand casually, signaling the soldiers to leave.

Wang Zhen'er received the news from Zhou Nian'an and was about to urge Zhu Yuanzhang to go and get together.

However, at this moment, someone came to report that Ming troops had appeared nearby. Upon hearing the news, Wang Zhen'er showed an anxious look on her face and said quickly: "No, we have to notify the two flag owners as soon as possible!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Order to advance at full speed, and we must meet the sect before the Ming army arrives!"

So everyone rushed away.

A team of 100 people escorted the general and Xu Shixin to find the location of the Ming army.

"Is this Mr. Xu Shifan Xu?" the leader of the army asked in a loud voice.

"Exactly!" Xu Shifan still looked so stupid at this moment.

"I really didn't expect that the imperial governor of water transportation would dare to openly resell water transportation grain. It is an unforgivable crime!" the general said with anger on his face.

"Master General, when this matter is over, I will report it to the Holy One to ask for merit for you!" Xu Shixin said.

"Let's settle this matter first!" The commander-in-chief was a little uninterested.

"Very good, very good!"

The commander, Qian Shi, went up to greet him.

"The commander of the guard station has reported this matter to His Majesty. The Holy One has issued an order to deal with it strictly, and specifically asked the Governor to be escorted back to the capital for trial and to be punished!"

"In that case, let's set off, don't miss the important event!"

The three of them spoke together for a moment.

Then he led the men and horses quickly towards the direction where the fleet was parked.

On the vast river, Zhou Nian'an, whose bow was facing the wind, had just repelled a wave of water bandit attacks.

He turned to look at the Governor, a cold smile flashed in his eyes, as if he was disdainful of the performance of this group of rabble.

"Get ready!" The governor's order echoed on the river, breaking the tranquility of the night. Zhou Nian'an immediately shouted: "Mobile!"

His words were full of urgency and alertness. However, as a row of green smoke floated up, the members of the White Lotus Sect fell one after another like ears of wheat cut by invisible blades, falling on the once calm river.

superior.

Zhou Nian'an walked quickly towards Xia Zhongjin, who was lying on the ground, and asked eagerly: "Brother Zhongjin, how are you?" His voice was full of concern and worry.

Xia Zhongjin bared his teeth, and his clenched fists were as hard as iron. He raised his head, with a firm light in his eyes, and said, "It's okay, I'm not dead yet!" There was a sense of unyielding and tenacity in his tone, as if

This battle was just a minor setback in his life.

"Damn, these guys are fighting among themselves just for a little profit. It's really despising." Xia Zhongjin glared at the group of theatergoers with anger burning in his eyes.

"That's all, this time we benefited, and those people gained nothing, so it's natural to be angry." Zhou Nian'an took a deep breath, trying to calm down his excitement.

"How are the preparations going?" Zhou Nian'an asked another question. His eyes wandered over Xia Zhongjin, seeming to be looking for the answer.

Xia Zhongjin tied the wound tightly. He gritted his teeth and veins popped out on his forehead.

"It's ready and can be shipped away at any time!" Although his voice was low, it was full of strength and determination.

"That's good. The Holy Aunt sent news that they have arrived tonight, so they will take action!" Zhou Nian'an's eyes flashed with determination and courage. He seemed to have made a decision and was ready to face the upcoming challenge.

As night fell, Zhu Yuanzhang and his men followed the ropeway and landed on the boat from the cliff.

His eyes swept over the neatly piled grain, which was about three thousand stones in size.

His eyes wandered over Zhou Nian'an and Xia Zhongjin, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

"Can you take this opportunity to get rid of these two people?" Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, with a trace of fierceness flashing in his eyes.

He knew very well that the strength of Zhou Nian'an and Xia Zhongjin should not be underestimated. If they could not be used for their own purposes, they might even become the biggest obstacle to his control of the White Lotus Sect.

Zhu Yuanzhang has regarded the White Lotus Sect as his own, so he must not let others threaten his position.

"Zhao Banner Leader" Zhou Xia greeted Zhu Yuanzhang cordially.

The two of them still didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang was planning how to get rid of the two people in front of him and then quickly.

"The two flag masters have made great achievements. Congratulations to both of you!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of smiles.

"But we'd better leave first, after all, Ming army reinforcements are coming soon!"

When the two heard this, they nodded quickly and said, "That's fine."

Wang Zhen'er curled her lips when she saw the eager expressions of the three people, and directed everyone to put the food on the small sampan at night and send it to the shore, where it was picked up by Zhu Yuanzhang's men.

Just as the food was about to be emptied, a flaming arrow flew out from the cliff.

"not good!"

Everyone hurriedly ran away, and the movement alerted people on the water transport boat.

"No, they want to escape!"

Seeing the situation on the ship by the light of the fire, the Governor of Water Transport looked at the food that had been moved away and said with heartache: "My food!"

"Quick, you go first, we'll stop behind!"

"no!"

"Stop the ink, there's no time, hurry up!" Zhu Yuanzhang urged.

"this!"

"Don't die!" Wang Zhen'er said.

"We can't bear to die, let's go quickly!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the three people leaving with his men, he grabbed a burning arrow and threw it into the water.

The offensive on the cliff suddenly turned to the Ming army on the water transport ship, which greatly reduced Zhu Yuanzhang's pressure.

Then follow the ropeway to the cliff.

When Zhao Chengchu saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he knelt down and said, "It's me who didn't protect my sister-in-law!"

"Don't worry, she has been rescued!" Zhu Yuanzhang helped Yan Ning up, looked at Zhao Chengchu and said, "Not bad, she is much stronger!"

"Has everything been arranged over there?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhao Chengchu nodded and said: "Don't worry, brother, we have already arranged it!"

"Remember that woman cannot die, kill all the others!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with murderous intent.
