Fan Shuang showed the special approval from King Yao at Longkou Ferry and easily got the priority to board the ship. He Lingchuan and others boarded the ship as VIPs, so naturally they didn't have to carry large items or eat steamed buns, but the cabin was not spacious enough.
, because the transportation capacity of Longkou Ferry is really tight, everyone can only squeeze in and squeeze out.
In terms of high-level enjoyment, Yao Kingdom is far superior to other places in the Golden Plains. Large river boats like this have become cruise ships, where you can eat, drink, whore and gamble - as long as you have enough money.
He Lingchuan and Dong Rui's dinner was like steamed buns or steamed buns, but it was made of fine white flour, and then lightly roasted on the fire until the outer skin was slightly burnt, and the knife rustled when scraped, and the inside was stuffed with honey, ham, and fish floss.
And pickled small olives, it tastes sweet, salty, sour, bitter and spicy.
Even the wine on the ship has a light woody aroma, which is very novel.
After dinner, He Lingchuan went to the bow of the boat to enjoy the breeze.
This is a habit he developed while admiring goodness.
The Baitiao River is not as broad as the sea, with gentle clear waves and shallow waves. Swimming in still water is another feeling.
Dong Rui also moved over and whispered: "I went to the cargo hold and checked around, everything is normal."
"Are the boxes okay?"
"Everything is fine and quiet." Dong Rui chuckled, "I'll bring a jar of wine with me tomorrow night."
"Don't get caught."
"Don't worry. The cargo hold is stuffy and wet, and ghosts usually don't go there." Dong Rui sighed, "That place is really not for humans."
He Lingchuan smiled: "They received information from Afeng before boarding the ship. They observed it for a few days and found that the most powerful think tank Tong Huan and a few elites were missing from the team. I guess he left these people behind
Go to Shuangxi River to prepare for any eventuality."
Xue Zongwu left his clever head in Shuangxi to deal with Qingyang's tricks.
"His subordinates are very good at cultivation and fighting ability. It seems that he is worried that others will do him hard."
If Qingyang uses soft tactics, Tong Huan can handle it; if Qingyang tries hard, Xue Zongwu's men can fight head-on.
It's quite thoughtful.
"It's a good thing." Dong Rui gave a thumbs up. He Lingchuan only stole a few account books and set fire to the official office, and then trapped Xue Zongwu and reduced the number of escorts brought back to the capital.
The chance of your own success increases a little bit.
Dong Rui nodded with his chin forward, "Hey, we've been on a boat trip for three days, do you have any ideas?"
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and they could see many ships in front of them.
There were many people on the boat, so Dong Rui could only use code words.
He Lingchuan shook his head: "You can take the boat with peace of mind."
"how?"
"There are confined spaces on the ship, and the personnel are relatively fixed. If there are no strong winds and waves, it is difficult to cause an accident that disrupts the situation." Fishing is easier in muddy water. If the water is too clear, the fish will see you first. "Look at the weather.
, the next few days will probably be calm."
Dong Rui also had some knowledge of the sky. He looked up and sighed.
Indeed, the Baili River is too calm, and the boat can sail smoothly.
"Our 'friend' chose Longkou Ferry because he took advantage of the safety of the boat." He Lingchuan said softly, "He abandoned Yanmu Cliff and took a detour, which shows that he has heightened his vigilance. Do you think he will not be strict on the boat?
Be on guard?"
It's definitely not a good idea to do anything on the ship.
Dong Rui snickered: "Maybe those men in black are here too, and they will come to disrupt the situation."
"Then it's not disturbing the situation, it's causing death." He Lingchuan pointed into the water, "There is something in the river."
Dong Rui was slightly shocked: "What?"
"There is a group of big fish, all of which are more than one foot long. The largest one is more than two feet long, and has whiskers on its lips." Under the moonlight, the river was like an ink pool, so dark that no one could see what was under the water, except for the soul-collecting mirror.
."It's full of sharp teeth, um, maybe it's a catfish."
"Passing monster?"
"No, they have been following us all the way." He Lingchuan looked at the dark river water and knew that there were things swimming back and forth underneath. "To be precise, they have been following this fleet since Longkou Ferry, and they have never left.
.”
Dong Rui reacted immediately: "Good guy, our good friend has hired Shuiling to escort you?"
The Yao Kingdom is a serious and powerful country with powerful elements, including Yuan Power and canonized mountains, rivers and water spirits. Outside the officialdom, Xue Zongwu can also use such a power.
If someone wants to plot against him on the boat, he will inevitably dive into the water if he escapes afterwards. At that time, Shui Ling will teach him an unforgettable lesson.
With this group of catfish roaming around, the waterways are no longer safe.
Dong Rui understood: "No wonder you didn't move." It turned out that he had seen the catfish demon roaming around.
He Lingchuan sighed. He was indeed a little tempted before boarding the boat and wanted to kill Xue Zongwu on the road. But as soon as the soul-collecting mirror discovered the catfish demon underwater, He Lingchuan understood that this was a trap!
The trap set by Xue Zongwu for the assassin.
Then in addition to the catfish demon, Xue Zongwu must have prepared other gifts for the assassin with malicious intentions. He Lingchuan expressed his gratitude.
"I wonder if those men in black will take action." He Lingchuan yawned, "If they don't die like this, it means they are lucky, and I might be able to help them later."
Luck is also part of strength.
…
Early the next morning, Weng Xing was woken up by the loud voice of the foreman: "Get up, you bunch of lazy pigs, come up and work!"
He rubbed his eyes and stood up slowly.
Normally, he would get up before the rooster crows, adjust his breath and practice, but he was so tired in the past few days that he actually slept soundly and sweetly in the bilge that was full of sweat and athlete's foot.
He looked around and saw no sign of his brother.
Where did it go?
The laborers around him were cursing and getting up, while Weng Xing stuffed steamed buns into his mouth and put on his boots.
When he climbed onto the deck, Weng Su also came close to help him move a box, and whispered: "It's not good."
Maybe it was because he had received too much bad news recently, so Weng Xing stopped feeling nervous and just asked: "What's wrong?"
"That dog...that person doesn't seem to be on this boat."
"...Brother!" Weng Xing loosened his grip and the box almost fell to the ground, but thanks to his brother lifting it up, "You are my brother, don't tease me!"
"It's dark, I'll go to the stern of the boat to put water." He drank too much water last night. "I happened to hear two guards on duty chatting on the upper floor, saying they had a big meal last night."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Does this need to be said?" Weng Xing immediately felt that the steamed bun slices he was secretly chewing in his mouth no longer tasted good. The delicacies served out last night made him hungry to death.
"They then said that since the general was not on the ship and there was no one to use the food, they gave it to them."
Weng Xing was stunned for a long time: "What about the general?"
"If it's not on this ship, then it's on another ship!" Weng Su gritted his teeth, "This thief is as cunning as a ghost!"
The fact that Xue Zongwu did not go to Yanmu Cliff showed that he was on guard. When he arrived at Longkou Ferry, he used a deceitful trick and sent more than a hundred guards on this boat and quietly boarded another boat.
The two brothers stood on the deck and looked at each other. The sails were like flags. Who knows which ship Xue Zongmusashi was on!
They can only look at the sails and sigh, temporarily giving up on this idea.
Weng Xing's shoulders slumped: They worked hard to chase the enemy for hundreds of miles, guard the mountains and rocks in wind and rain, and work hard in the wind and waves, but in the end they were tricked by the enemy?
"Then what do we do now?"
"Let me ask you, Ah Xing -" Weng Su said seriously, "Do you want to give up?"
Weng Xing was startled and shook his head vigorously: "No! Brother Tu has treated us with great kindness, I must avenge him!"
It happened that there was no one around him, so he dared to say this.
A mere setback, which does not hurt muscles or move bones, how could he take it seriously?
"Okay, this is my brother!" Weng Su said happily, "Let that thief live freely for a few more days. We should eat and sleep, and then we can settle the accounts with him after we get ashore!"
Weng Xing secretly gritted his teeth and encouraged himself: "Yes!"
"Hey, what are you two bothering about?" The ship's foreman called their brothers not far away. It took two burly men a long time to move a box. Isn't this ridiculous? "I'm talking about you two, yes.
To be continued...
