However, it is difficult to hide it from the eyes and ears of the world. There are probably a few people in the palace who know that Li Luo secretly went north, but they don't know who will hear this news first outside the palace.
Li Luo discussed with Yin Mohuai, bypassed the imperial government office, infiltrated into the rivers and lakes and quietly headed north.
Emperor Wanlong gave several boxes of gold and silver treasures to prepare for emergencies when discussing matters. One of them is extremely valuable. If word spreads, even if it is a treasure of the imperial court, some people may dare to take risks.
The object was both real and fake, so Emperor Wanlong was interested in it. He openly said that Li Xuanze and Li Chengye would carry the treasure to the north, but in fact he asked Li Luo to secretly take the real thing to Chencang.
Carrying several boxes of treasures to the north was indeed a bit ostentatious, so Li Luo came up with the idea of using Jianghu Escort Agency. It happened that he still had a relationship with Banfenlou earlier, so he secretly asked Banfenlou for help.
Shi Xianqiao had a clear mind and had guessed that Li Luo had a favor with Banfenlou and the Seven Bandits in the Shangzheng Yamen case. Shi Xianqiao was determined to return the favor and sent a message to the Chang'an Escort Bureau to arrest the escort.
The details were not disclosed, but the Chang'an Escort Bureau was asked to ensure that the escort was delivered safely, and Zhou Fang and Feng Zhenming were sent to accompany him north to help.
"I wonder where Brother Zhai is now?" Zhu Zhi said softly.
This time when he went north, except for Qian Yi and Zhu Zhi, the other six people around Li Luo were all strangers. The generals of Qiongqi camp, Hou Xilai, the generals of Gouchen camp, Jin Quyi, the generals of Zhuhuai camp, Ying Feng and Gu Diao.
The camp leader is Shang Li.
These four people can stand out from the army of more than 300,000 Sirius Shepherds and lead a battalion of Sirius Cavalry. They are all outstanding in martial arts and are not inferior to the young heroes in the arena. Now if they were put into the arena, they would not be able to
I'm sure I'll make a name for myself in a few years.
"Brother Zhai should be waiting for us in front. He might be in Qinzhou by now." Hou Xilai said in a low voice.
Zhu Zhi nodded and said: "General, please rest early."
"Yeah." Li Luo responded, and they went back to their rooms to rest.
Li Luo opened the window in the room and looked at the Kunjiang River in the distance.
There is a moon tonight, and the moonlight reflected on the river surface rises and falls like broken jade. The river surface is shrouded in smoke and mist in the distance, giving a quiet and ancient atmosphere.
The cold wind was blowing, and the water surface was rippling. It looked like it was constantly moving, but in my eyes, it seemed as still as if it had stopped.
Li Luo looked away with a condensed expression, not knowing who and what he would encounter on his way north this time.
On the next day, everyone in the escort office was looking for boats to cross the river. The New Year's Eve had just passed and there were not many boats crossing the river. However, the Chang'an escort office had its own plans. It must have been arranged before departure. Wang Xiang and Xin Jiuniang found a boat to cross the river soon after they left.
boats and manning hands.
The boat was not too big and could just fit the carriage and the escort's party.
There was no need for Li Luo and others to take action. These bodyguards and crews carried everything onto the ship. Han Jin was also busy among them, and he did not slack off at all because of his special status.
Half of the ferry was made up of horses and mules. Zhou Fang had doubts at first because he was afraid that Li Luo, who came from a princely family, would be angry and cross the river with the animals in the same boat.
However, Li Luo's expression was clear and clear, and he didn't seem to care much about it. The faces of the generals around him didn't change, so Zhou Fang felt relieved.
The boatman was about to pull up the anchor and raise the sail when suddenly a shout came from the shore: "Shipman, stay."
Everyone looked for a voice and saw a man running out from behind a row of poplar trees on the river bank. He was dressed like a scholar and ran out of breath. He kept shouting as he ran, signaling everyone on the boat to wait a moment.
Zhou Fang frowned and asked suspiciously: "A boat ride?"
"It looks like it." Tie Tu scratched his forehead and said nonchalantly.
"I thought there was no need to wait for him, so I asked him to find another boat to cross the river." Zhou Fang said in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to find a boat to cross the river at this time." Wei Ju said calmly.
At this time, Ying Feng, the commander of Tianlangqi Zhuhuai Camp, came over and said with a smile: "My young master has something to say, you can just act according to the rules of the world, and do whatever you have to do, don't be jealous of us."
Zhou Fang and others all returned the gift, and Wang Xiang and others looked at Mao Kong. If they followed the moral principles of the past, they would be able to help with just a little effort, and they could also forge a good relationship.
But today is different from the past. Before the trip, Han Yue had made sure that there would be no mistakes, and his dignified demeanor was rare in recent years.
Mao Kong naturally guessed the seriousness of it, and this escort probably could not be judged by common sense.
Mao Kong's thoughts changed and he shouted in a deep voice: "Be careful, ignore this person and leave."
Everyone in the escort agency said nothing. Even though some people could not bear it, they could only obey the order and pretended not to hear the loud shouts of the people on the shore.
"Hey, this scholar is very quick." Wei Yi looked back and said in surprise.
Originally, the ship had slowly drifted out, but before it had moved more than three feet, the ship suddenly shook and settled on the river not far from the shore.
The anchor rope was pulled straight in an instant, making a sharp sound like a saw. The other end of the anchor rope was tied to the wooden bridge on the shore by the scholar-looking man who had just shouted, and the boat that everyone in the escort agency was riding on was left alive.
The faces of the people on the boat all darkened. Even if such behavior was not hostile, it would not be liked by others.
Wei Yi's face turned cold, and he let out murderous intent.
Mao Kong took a careful look at the scholar on the bank, a cold chill flashed in his eyes, and said indifferently: "Let him come up."
Zhou Fang and Feng Zhenming secretly nodded. Everyone's whereabouts have been revealed. If they repel this person like this, the intention of this trip may be more suspicious. It is better to keep this person on the ship. If he really has ulterior motives, he will use some means.
.
Wang Xiang waved his hand, and the ship slowly approached. The scholar-looking man kept shouting at the bridge, as if he was slandering and complaining about the people on the ship not waiting for him.
Although the people in the escort agency were dissatisfied, most of them were wealthy people with indifferent expressions on their faces.
When the boat got close, before Mao Kong could ask any questions, he heard this scholar-looking man shouting: "Boat captains, let me get on board!"
Mao Kong looked as normal and asked calmly: "I wonder what this young master's advice is for tying our ships to the bridge?"
"Ah, you are going to cross the river, and I happen to be going there too. Let's go together. I called several times just now, but no one agreed." The scholar said dissatisfiedly.
"Where is your family name, young master? Where are you going when you cross the river?"
"Hey, I just borrowed a boat to cross the river, and I'm not a prisoner. Why do you still doubt me?" The scholar was startled and said angrily.
"Haha, Sir, please calm down. Now that the New Year's Day has just passed, there are not many people on the road. Young Master happened to run into us by chance. It is only human nature for us to be suspicious." Zhou Fang said loudly.
