The water is thousands of miles long, and the river is surging.

This river originates from the Hengduan Mountains, separates Gyeonggi and Yongzhou, runs through the entire Qinzhou in the southeast direction, and finally merges into the Nu Sea.

The willows on both sides of the bank are swaying gently, the buds are newly sprouted, and everything is green.

Hundreds of boats competed on the river, and the boats moved like a weave.

Qishui not only cultivates extremely fertile farmland on both sides of the strait, but also assumes the indispensable task of river transportation. The three places on the southeast coast of Daliang are Qinzhou, Lizhou and Yaozhou from north to south. The goods in these places even flow from

Specialties from overseas are transported along the coast to several major ports in Qinzhou, and then sent upstream to Kyoto using the Qishui River.

Qishui does not freeze, so you can see constant traffic of ships all year round.

In such a busy scene, a Qianhu passenger ship passing by Yuejiang Tower was meandering eastward and was inconspicuous among the crowd.

After nightfall, in the main guest room on the ship, Fang Yunhu put on a light brocade robe after taking a bath, and came to sit in meditation in front of the window.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and then a man's voice sounded outside: "Sir, Miss Nanqin is here."

"Come in." Fang Yunhu said calmly.

Nan Qin walked in slowly, and the subordinate standing outside closed the door from the outside.

Fang Yunhu turned his head and looked at the obvious worry on her face, and said slowly: "As you wish, Gu Fan is still alive."

Nan Qin felt relieved, but did not dare to show it too much on his face. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Sir, since Gu Fan is not dead, we should consider how to avoid being hunted by Liang Ren."

Fang Yunhu smiled meaningfully, pointed to the side and said, "Sit down and talk."

Even though he concealed it very well, Nan Qin still felt a bit angry, so she didn't dare to disobey him.

Fang Yunhu was indeed in a bad mood. This time his plan to hunt Gu Fan failed completely, and the loss was not small. The two groups of people responsible for dealing with Gu Fan on the top floor were nothing. They were desperadoes he recruited with money.

Not even if they all die

It would make him heartbroken. But the dozens of people who intercepted Ye Qi and Liang Guojing's army outside the building were actual children of the Fang family in Pingjiang. Even if it was only the D-shaped battalion, the lowest among the four battalions of the Fang family, the death of dozens of people in one battle was enough to make him feel sad.

There was an extra scar in his heart.

This is not the biggest problem. As Nan Qin said, it is still unclear whether he can return to the south smoothly.

He gave up the hunt for Gu Fan at the last moment, left Yuejiang Tower through the secret passage, and boarded the waiting passenger ship, but this did not mean that he would be able to sit back and relax in the future.

Whether it is for Nan Qin or to capture him as the leader of the Southern Zhou secret agents, Pei Yue and Gu Fan will not give up. Moreover, this matter will definitely get the support of the Liang Emperor, and Taishitai Pavilion will definitely go all out.

In this critical situation, Fang Yunhu's eyes showed no emotions such as panic and panic, except for a bit of anger.

Nan Qin asked cautiously: "Master, are you planning to return to the south by water?"

Although she is not extremely smart, she has worked in a foreign country for more than ten years and has seen a lot about the deviousness of people's hearts. Naturally, she is not as innocent as she appears. Fang Yunhu has not told her a complete plan, but in the past few days,

As she watched, she had a rough guess in her mind. The biggest reason why Gu Fan's killing spree was arranged in Yuejiang Tower was that Fang Yunhu was able to use the Qishui River to escape unnoticed.

This is to take advantage of the blind spot in people's thinking. After all, the north of Luoxia Mountain is a cliff, close to the Qishui River. It is difficult for ordinary people to think of this retreat at the first time. Even though Taishitai Pavilion and the soldiers of the Beijing Army surrounded Luoxia Mountain on the south bank,

Surrounded, they were unable to control the area in a short period of time. By the time they reacted, there were hundreds of boats on Qishui. How could they tell which one was Fang Yunhu's boat?

Taking the water route back to the south seems to be a good choice, because as long as we can reach Qinzhou smoothly, with Fang Yunhu's many years of business there, we can take a sea ship and return to Southern Zhou smoothly along the coastline.

Fang Yunhu was noncommittal and said calmly: "Pei Yue said that he will deploy heavy troops in the southern border of Yongzhou. What do you think of this news?"

Nan Qin muttered: "It is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and I dare not make any hasty judgments."

Fang Yunhu chuckled and said slowly: "Is it because I don't know, or because I don't dare to say?"

After a moment of silence, Nan Qin replied: "Sir, no matter what Pei Yue's intentions are, he will never give up guarding the southern pass."

Fang Yunhu nodded and said: "It seems that returning to the south by water is the only option."

Nan Qin vaguely sensed an ominous atmosphere and did not answer the question.

Fang Yunhu continued: "Pei Yue should also be able to think of this. Nan Qin, I have something to ask you to do now."

Nan Qin lowered his head slightly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and said softly: "Sir, what's the matter?"

Fang Yunhu chuckled and said, "Please die."

The room suddenly fell into a dead silence, and the air seemed to become stagnant at this moment.

Fang Yunhu said with a gentle expression: "This ship is not safe. Pei Yue has not shown up yet. Maybe he is waiting for me somewhere downstream of Qishui River. If things are really as I expected, then you must die so that you can

Let Gu Fan go completely crazy and not be able to distinguish carefully between certain

Don't worry, after you die, I will take good care of your family. Your parents will receive a generous compensation, and your eldest brother and third brother will also be transferred from the border army to the forbidden army. From now on

From now on, your family can enjoy themselves safely without any danger."

Nanqin's lips turned white and she clenched her hands tightly.

Fang Yunhu saw this and smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I will make the person who does it more efficient. It only takes a moment, but it can bring long-term prosperity and peace to the family. This deal is very cost-effective."

Nan Qin asked in a trembling voice: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Fang Yunhu clapped his hands, and a young man pushed the door in from outside.

Nan Qin raised his eyes and looked at this person, the look on his face was suddenly horrified and unspeakable.

Fang Yunhu explained calmly: "If Pei Yue does not discover this ship, then you can return to Dazhou safely, and the promise I made to you will be fulfilled. But if he is really so smart and leads people to stop this ship, then

When the time comes, just follow this person’s arrangements. I believe you are a smart person, so don’t do anything extraordinary and just die, okay?”

Nan Qin looked at Fang Yunhu's smiling face, as if he was seeing a demon from the Nine Nether Purgatory.

Fang Yunhu said warmly: "You and I have just met, but actually I don't want to see you die without dignity, and you don't want to leave Gu Fan with the last impression of a dozen men lying on top of you, right?"

Nan Qin laughed miserably and said slowly: "Young Master, I remember."

Fang Yunhu smiled with satisfaction and said: "Very good, don't be too sad. What if Pei Yue didn't think of this waterway? Go back and rest first, I will let people watch you every step of the way."

After the two capable followers took Nan Qin away like a prisoner, Fang Yunhu sighed softly, looked up at the respectful young man, and sighed: "We have finally come to this point."

The young man bowed and said, "I only obey the master's instructions."

Fang Yunhu nodded, then lowered his voice and spoke.

After listening to this, the young man showed some admiration and gratitude on his face. He lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely fulfill your instructions."

Fang Yunhu stood up, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said slowly: "I will never break my promise to you."

A flash of excitement flashed in the young man's eyes, and he said seriously: "Thank you, sir!"

Fang Yunhu smiled softly, then turned to look out the window at the night.

Insects are constantly chirping, all things are competing, and the world is full of vitality.
