Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 61: Going East
Of the two men who walked into the hall, the first one was thin, and the uniform of an officer of the Northwest Army did not fit him well. With a trace of light, the latter person has dark skin, sparse hair on the top of his head, a pair of goldfish eyes, hanging eyebrows, wide mouth and buck teeth, and a strong body that stretches his close-fitting clothes tightly.
Release "He Zicai and Lu Da have seen the two adults." I saw a young man in casual clothes sitting above the front seat, and a middle-aged man sitting next to him was probably a staff member. The two knew that this young man was probably the current master and the hope of their own people. As the elites selected from the Changfeng Society to train the Northwest Navy, they were not only selected from a hundred miles to excel in water skills, but also had personalities. All of them are **** men who can sacrifice their lives for the clansmen.
Release Before coming to the Northwest, the leader also specifically explained to them, ordered and prohibited them, and completely obeyed the arrangements of the Northwest side. Fortunately, after coming to the Northwest, they didn't have any other special work, except for training those soldiers who were not able to pass water. They didn't receive an order until a few days ago to rush to Hanzhong to prepare to board the ship to accept the mission.
Release Wufeng carefully looked at the two people in front of him. To be honest, he couldn't see any other skills except that they were physically stronger. It is also impenetrable to the water. It takes more than ten days to travel all the way from Hanzhong to the imperial capital. There are not many excellent water kung fu masters, and no one can ride safely on this boat.
Release "Please sit down, both of you." Although they had already joined the Northwest Army, considering their special identities, Wu Feng was very polite and raised his right hand to signal them to take their seats.
Release "Don't dare to be in a humble position." The two of them obeyed the order carefully and did not dare to act presumptuously.
Published "Sit down, since the adults let you sit down, you sit down." Wang Liao also saw the restraint of the two, and said broadly, "Both, we are going to board the ship tomorrow, I don't know if you are inspecting the ship How's the situation?"
Announced "My lord, everything on the ship has been inspected, and there is no mistake, but tonight the ship's security is still in charge of the Hanzhong garrison, and the two low-ranking officers are a little worried. If someone deliberately sabotages it, many things can be done overnight. "The lean man called He Zicai bowed.
Release "Well, you mean you are worried that someone will sabotage tonight?" Wu Feng asked in surprise.
Published "No, my lord, you misunderstood, just be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, especially from Hanzhong to Huanggang via Jincheng. The ship will be destroyed and the people will die, and the adult is rich and precious, and the lowly position has to be careful." The thin man quickly explained, "Many items on the ship are very special. If they are intentionally damaged and concealed very cleverly, it will be difficult to find them. When encountering rapids and dangerous shoals, it will lead to an irreversible disaster.”
Release "Well, since that's the case, you can get on the ship first tonight, and you need to be familiar with the ship's situation. Although the sailors who will be in charge of driving tomorrow are sent by Hanzhong, you will be in charge of the important positions." The head agrees with the other party's point of view, "How many of you are here?"
Published "Master, we have 200 people here, 80 of them are old brothers from our original Changfeng Society, and the remaining 120 are also selected from the Northwest Navy. It is good enough to pilot these ships." Seeing that Wufeng agreed with his opinion, He Zicai lifted his spirits and immediately said.
Published "That's not necessary. After all, this ship belongs to the Hanzhong Navy. It's too obvious for us to occupy the nest. It's not good, but we can strengthen the monitoring. As long as the other party makes any changes, we can give them without mercy. Deal with it." Although he didn't specify what method to use to deal with it, the tone of Wufeng's words has clearly expressed the meaning.
Release "Understood, please rest assured, my lord." A murderous look flashed across the thin man's face, "There will be no accidents."
Announcing that this is a fleet of two medium-sized passenger ships and three medium-sized warships. Since the waterways from Hanzhong to Jiangnan are all within the control of the imperial inland water army, it is not surprising that there will be any major water battles. Even if there were, there would only be a small group of water bandits. A fleet like this escorted by warships would be undeniably extraordinary at first glance. These water bandits with a sharp sense of smell and a vicious eye would not dare to provoke them casually.
Announcement Wufeng and his party are naturally on a passenger ship in the middle, which is a three-masted sailing ship. Since the river runs smoothly from the east to the south of Han Dynasty, and it is the season of rising water in autumn, the sail on the mast becomes Embellished with ornaments. The hull of the passenger ship is quite spacious. The middle part of the hull of more than fifteen meters is enough to accommodate thirty or fifty people to rest, but now it is divided into three cabins. The living room for rest, and the one in front became the duty room for the personal guards.
Release In the living room, a book bank is next to the porthole. The wooden window supported by wooden poles welcomes the warm sunlight in. Wu Fengyuan sits by the window and watches the scenery of the river bank. The fleet going down the water moved very fast, especially after entering the narrow mountainous area, the speed increased even more. The helmsmen all concentrated their attention on the semaphore of the lookout post ahead, ready to change direction at any time. Although the size of the first two military ships clearing the way is not large, they are already quite good in the inland river. Each has 150 sergeants, 50 sailors, and dozens of commanding and monitoring ships. Northwest water army and guards, each warship has more than 200 combat power, and there is also a medium-sized catapult as a long-range attack weapon in front of the bow and on the left and right sides of the ship. This level of combat power is far beyond the capabilities of ordinary bandits provocative.
Release He Zicai stood in the shadow of the cabin on the bow with a sullen face, staring at the front without moving. It made him feel a little excited, but more nervous and worried. Although it is a trivial matter for him to know only five ships in this area, most of the people on board are not able to swim, especially his master and his family guards, who are probably not able to swim or not at all Jia, once something goes wrong, it's not as easy as my brothers, just getting into the water, once something goes wrong, it's not something I can afford.
Release In fact, on the surface, it seems that there is nothing suspicious about this journey. The sailors on the ship also behaved quite well, and the soldiers also behaved very honestly. There is always a strange premonition that this journey does not seem to be that simple. In the words of an adult, the person who assassinated him would definitely choose to do it on the water. After all, his own strength on the water is weaker. When he gets on the land, no one will be able to control him, so if he wants to do it, he can only choose on this waterway.
Release He Zicai is from the Great East Ocean, but as a core figure of the water bandit gang, he is also very clear about the water bandits who are active in the Han River, Jin River, and Yajiang section. It should be said that the water bandits are famous on this waterway There are not many, only the Qutang Society in Qutang Gorge at the junction of Hanzhong and Jincheng, and the Flying Fish Gang on Xiling Gorge between Jincheng and Huanggang are slightly famous, but if you want to compete with the Imperial Navy, they are still too far behind He Zicai did not believe that they possessed such strength.
Announcement: Along the road, the water flowed eastward, the water flow was very fast, and the boats hardly stopped. Under He Zicai's suggestion, the fleet didn't even stop at the peak time, and let the boats go straight down. They passed Qutang Gorge and still did not meet Even Lu Da, who was in charge on the warship ahead, felt that his sworn brother was a little too sensitive, but the bad feeling in He Zicai's heart became more and more serious. But at this time, he ordered the sailors and soldiers on board to strengthen their defenses, and he was the only one who supervised a group of old brothers under his command to be more vigilant~ IndoMTL.com~ Posted that from Hanzhong, he had crossed the Qutang Gorge and arrived in Jincheng In the territory, except for the mouth of Qutang Gorge, the narrow and rapid waterway suddenly widened here, and the water flow also calmed down, but it was already dark at this time. This is the first wharf on the waterway in Jincheng - Huaikou. Eighty miles ahead is the city of Jincheng Prefecture. The fleet had to stop here for the night and stay overnight. Originally, He Zi proposed to go east at night, seeing that Jincheng Prefecture had already stationed an alliance in Huaikou. The soldiers greeted Wufeng, so they had no choice but to stay.
Announced to greet and send off, after finally dismissing a group of boring businessmen and gentry, Wufeng and Situ Yutang breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and returned to their respective boats, it was already time to hold the lights, some soldiers had already landed and stationed, Together with the troops sent by Jincheng Mansion, they were in charge of guarding the shore, and the five ships were docked by the pier, and everything seemed very quiet.
Released However, He Zicai didn't think that way. There is often a murderous intention hidden behind the calmness. This is a lesson learned from experience. The other party did not invite Wufeng and his party to go ashore to rest because the Huaikou was too small and there was no suitable place to rest, which made He Zicai feel even more uneasy. The task of defending the ship at night was even more difficult. He even suggested that Situ Yutang and Wufeng share the same boat at night to prevent it, but Situ Yutang firmly refused. The frontless guards were also divided into two squads to guard Wufeng in the boat.
Announcing that the one-day boat trip did not make Wufeng feel much tired, on the contrary, it was the one-day experience on the water that made Wufeng feel refreshed. The bright fish candles reflected the figure of the guard on the side of the boat on the river through the window lattice , the night is like water.
