0146 Waterway

Open the city gate and lower the drawbridge quickly. Hassan hurriedly ordered the three men to work: move more quickly, it will be dawn in a few hours.

Yes, the three adults agreed in a low voice, and together they worked hard to remove the wooden bars blocking the city gate, then pushed open the city gate and lowered the wooden suspension bridge.

The wheels of the carriage suddenly made a grunting sound. Under the vigorous whipping of a strong man, the carriage began to speed up and headed straight out of the city.

At this time, in a dark corner near the city gate, Guan Heng was watching Hassan's carriage leave alone. The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from not far behind him, and then Shani shouted in a low voice: Guan Heng, according to the

At your command, I found two horses nearby

Well, it seems that where Hassan and his men are going is not very close. Let’s get on our horses and chase them, just keep as far away as possible.

The two nodded to each other, jumped on their mounts, and chased Hassan in the direction he left.

I don't know how much time passed, but it was already bright. Guan Heng and Shani rode carefully, keeping a distance from the carriage of Hassan's master and servant in front of them.

In this way, Hassan had already planned half a year ago to quietly move his treasure house outside the capital of Kawulu. Guan Heng asked Shani immediately: Is this what you stole outside the window of his room last night?

Did you hear the news?

Well, I overheard that Hassan seemed to be afraid of someone. He had already emptied the contents of his treasure room in batches. The ones on the carriage now should be the last batch.

Shani said with a face full of displeasure: No wonder I visited the warehouse of the city guard's house a few times and found that there was almost nothing valuable there. It turned out that it had been moved long ago.

Haha, it doesn’t matter. Guan Heng said with a smile: Let’s follow Hassan, this fat beetle, and find the place where he hides the treasure. When the time comes, hehehe

Having said this, Guan Heng and Shani both laughed evilly, and they said in unison: "Take away all the savings of this fat pig and make him angry to death."

Hassan's carriage first ran along the wide official road, but then gradually turned into a path in the forest, following quietly behind it, feeling that the surrounding scenery was getting more and more desolate.

Shani, are you familiar with the geography of this area? Guan Heng quietly asked the female thief next to him: Do you know where the road ahead leads to?

Well, I think we seem to be moving on the edge of a river leading to the royal capital. Shani replied: The water surface of this river is very wide and the flow is fast. There are few people nearby.

It turns out that is the case, but I observed that there is no secret place to hide things nearby. Guan Heng said a little strangely: I just don’t know where Hassan wants to transport his carriage and things.

Well, just as he said this, Guan Heng suddenly twitched his nose and sniffed a few times: "The smell of water is so strong. It seems that we have really arrived at the river bank."

Guan Hengshani stretched out her hand on her mount and pointed: Hassan and his carriage stopped. There seems to be a simple dock in front of it. There is also a boat. Do they want to transport things somewhere by water?

Guan Heng dismounted and whispered: Let's sneak over and take a look. Maybe we can get some secret information.

The two of them got off their horses and tied their two mounts to a tree in the bushes, letting them eat the grass on their own.

The sound of the sound came out quickly, so thin that it could not be heard.

Guan Heng and Shani lowered their bodies and quickly sneaked into the grass near the simple dock. Relying on the tall and dense reeds to hide their whereabouts, the two of them had quietly touched the side of the ship.

.

At this time, three strong men, urged by Hassan, moved a dozen boxes from the carriage onto the clipper one after another.

If he moved faster and was exposed to the unusually hot sun, Hassan kept wiping his fat face. The sweat that kept overflowing due to nervousness and anxiety had already soaked his clothes. The fat man kept shouting: Hey

Hey, be careful of that box you are moving. It contains my favorite gold and silverware.

These guys are really clumsy fat guys who can't stop complaining: They can do the killing and other things, but the delicate work of carrying valuables is really too much for them.

Suddenly a heavy box was placed on the deck, and one of the strong men said: Lord City Guard, this is the last box.

Well, let's get ready to go. Fatty Hassan nodded with satisfaction, and then walked towards the cabin with his hands behind his back. Just as he was about to duck into the cabin door, another subordinate behind him shouted: Sir, the waterline of our ship seems to be too deep.

If this is the case, the hull of the ship will be broken when encountering a reef area later.

Idiot, this kind of trivial matter bothers me. Hassan cursed impatiently: Throw everything on the boat except the treasure box into the water, wouldn't it reduce the weight of the boat?

For example, it was like it. Hassan raised his foot and kicked a small sampan tied to the side of the boat: This little broken boat is of no use. Throw it to the shore immediately. Please move faster. You must get to the island before noon.

do you know

Yes, yes, he obeyed the master's instructions and the strong man only agreed. He immediately reached out and untied the rope that bound the sampan. He heard a splash and the small sampan was immediately thrown into the water by him.

Under Hassan's repeated urging, the medium-sized speedboat, which was fully loaded with treasure boxes and about 50 to 60 meters long, finally sailed away from the simple dock.

Since the operating system of this ship uses the rare magic stone as the driving force, it can maintain a safe and fast speed, so it can still move forward smoothly and quickly on this rough river.

About three or four minutes after the medium-sized speedboat left, two heads and a small sampan suddenly popped out of the reeds by the river.

Haha, I didn’t expect that fat guy Hassan was so polite. Guan Heng rowed the oar and said to Shani: He actually left us a small boat. Isn’t it clear that he asked us to follow him?

Haha, that makes sense. Shani covered her mouth and smiled. She then said to Guan Heng: I just vaguely heard Hassan saying that he must go to the island before noon. Could it be that he was going to take someone to transport the treasure box?

Go to a nearby island?

Well, it's possible. It seems that there are many inland islands on the tributary branches of this river. Guan Heng rowed and analyzed: Maybe one of the inland islands is Hassan's secret treasure location.
