A few days later, late at night, on the Yangtze River in Jingzhou.
In the flood season, the water of the Yangtze River is surging. A mist of water rose from the surface of the river, and the visibility was not high. The east wind blew up and the river slapped against the embankment.
Ten huge sea loach boats come from upstream in a swallow-shaped wave. Such giant ships are usually only visible in the Dengju harbor area of the East China Sea. They are usually only used for ships to travel by sea, passing between the coast of the East China Sea and Silla, Baekje and other countries, or used as a heavyweight for the Datang Sea Route navy. Equipment is very valuable.
Under the whole world, it is estimated that only the family of Chang'an Zheng is the only one who can recruit ten giant sea loach ships to appear on the Yangtze River at the same time!
Ten giant sea loach ships covered most of the wide Yangtze River in Jingzhou, like a towering city wall rolling in, covering the sky and the sun. If it's broad daylight, such a scene can be called shocking, and will surely cause pedestrians on both sides of the strait to stop and exclaim.
But it is late at night, during the flood season of the Yangtze River, no one will cross the river at this time. Experienced fishermen will also drag the fishing boat ashore, eat two bowls of hot rice with his wife and children at home, never here Drift to the river to kill when planting.
On the Yangtze River, there is no other sound except the sound of gurgling water and the howling east wind.
On the deck of a giant sea loach ship stood a strong man of about forty. His eyes were sharp and his expression revealed a few dignity, watching closely the black river surface.
"Big shopkeeper, the fleet has arrived at the agreed location." A young sailor in a short coat and barefoot came forward to report.
"Get off the anchor and stop the ship, raise the fire!"
"Yes!"
In an instant, a group of torches lit up on the ten giant sea loach ships, making the surface of the river red. The torch is on and off, reciprocating three times, and finally goes out.
"Why didn't you respond?" The shopkeeper wrinkled his brows and asked the people around him, "Master’s letter, isn’t it the agreement?"
"Exactly!"
"Wait a little longer!"
Ten giant ships stopped on the river, waiting quietly.
After touching for an hour, almost everyone was impatient to wait. At this moment, several torches lighted up on the far bank of the river, flashing and extinguishing, also three times.
"Here." The shopkeeper picked up the corner of his mouth lightly, and said coldly, "The other party is really alert."
"What should I do now, the treasurer?"
"Send the order to turn all the sea loach ships sideways and line up the hull, with the belly facing the torch, in order to prepare for the other party to carry the cargo on the ship. All the porters are ready to load and unload the cargo!"
"Yes!!!"
Immediately, the order is issued. Suddenly, ten huge ships as huge as a city wall, as if twisted by a heavenly hand, slowly but extremely calmly, lined up on the surface of the Yangtze River, with their sides facing the river bank, forming a line across the center of the Yangtze River. Great Wall.
"Woo——Woo——Woo!"
In the direction of the river bank, there were three sounds of horns. The big shopkeeper waved his hand, and the torch flashed six times on the flagship.
The other party responded with three horns again, so that the code word was over.
The shopkeeper grinned slightly, and sneered: "There are so many ghosts!"
"The treasurer, the ship is coming from the shore!"
"I saw it."
In the dark night, a big ship sailed through the waves. With such a strong east wind and turbulent currents, it traveled on the surface of the river like a flying arrow, which made the sailors on the sea loach stared with surprise.
"It's Wu Yue military ship!" The knowledgeable treasurer exclaimed in surprise, "Only this kind of military ship transformed from a blessed ship is equipped with thirty-eight pairs of treadmills. Although it moves against the waves and the wind, You can still wear it freely!"
The incoming ship drove to the front of the "Great Wall" and shouted to it: "Where is the big shopkeeper?"
"Here!"
When the ship came, I turned the bow and moved a little bit. On the bow deck, a man in black and black robe and mask was standing, saying loudly: "Dare to ask the treasurer, is everything ready?" /
Originally, this military ship was not small, but it was also a huge ship in Jianghan. But standing side by side with the Zheng family's sea loach boat is really a little witch. The man in black looked up, and the other side's ship was several feet high, and he felt a sense of oppression.
"Already prepared." The shopkeeper replied on it, "Where are your goods?"
"It's not in a hurry. Wait for me to get on the ship and check it!" the man in black replied.
"Hateful, waste of time! Take a moment longer, the young master will suffer a moment more!" The shopkeeper cursed secretly and shouted: "Put down the boat and let him come up!"
The sound of "rumbling" sounded, and an organ gate opened on the side of the giant sea loach, and a large deck was lifted out of it, directly on the bow of the warship. The man in black boarded the ship with a few entourages, exchanged a few words with the treasurer, and looked around inside the ship. At the same time, there were also several other ships of the same warship that approached other sea loach ships, and they were also inspected.
"You are really very careful!" The big shopkeeper sneered with a smile, "It's no wonder that such a big business is not careful. But when will you put it back to my master?"
"Don't worry, your young master will be free when this batch of grain is successfully transported out of Jingzhou." The man in black replied.
"What? We agreed in advance, didn't we put it back to my young master at the same time we traded the grain?" The shopkeeper exclaimed in fright.
"I apologized to the big shopkeeper, something has changed, and I have to do something to deal with it. Don’t worry, we don’t dare to abuse the dignified Young Master Zheng, he won’t be aggrieved at all-well, the inspection is over, everything Normal!" The black man said.
At the same time, other ships have also been inspected.
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and swallowed.
"Can you start trading now?"
"Of course!"
Several horns were blown, and dozens of large and small ships slowly approached from the river bank. These ships have extremely deep drafts, and grain packages are piled high on the ship deck, and they move slowly.
The shopkeeper frowned: "So slowly, when will it be possible to load hundreds of thousands of stone grains?"
"I didn't say that I will give you all the food this time. There are only 150,000 shi." The man in black said, "After you transport this batch of food and dispose of it properly, we will do the same. The remaining transactions."
"What?" The big treasurer was obviously a little angry. "The ten-ship sea loach is just to transport you 150,000 shi of food? I said, you guys are too joking! Do you know that we mobilize one? How much food, money, time, manpower and material resources will it cost to return to the fleet?"
"No way, as the saying goes, be careful to make the Wannian Ship. This is also for the sake of safety." The man in black sneered triumphantly, "If you dump all the goods once and surrender them, in case something changes , Aren’t we fighting?"
The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "You are too timid! Ten sea loach boats are enough to carry nearly 300,000 stone goods! Now you only give half... hey!" "For the Zheng family Please take care of the young master's safety. We are also out of helplessness, haha!" The man in black laughed.
At this time, dozens of grain ships of various sizes have already been transported to the "Great Wall". All the sea loach boats opened their side hatches, built a huge and sturdy ship deck, and began loading cargo on the ship. The huge sea loach ship has a huge load. On weekdays, there are hundreds of sailors and footmen on board. Today, there are nearly a thousand people on board, so the food packaging is unloaded extremely quickly.
The surface of the Yangtze River suddenly became noisy and lively. There are many torches, illuminating a river surface like daylight. If someone sees it from a distance in the middle of the night and doesn't know what this place is doing, it must be frightened.
Time flies extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the dawn of the sky. At this time, the big shopkeeper saw that on the far bank of the river, horses and horses were like dragons and grain piled up like a mountain, and there were a large number of army-like people on guard in the distance. On the shore of the river, the boats pierce through the edges like ants, which is very spectacular.
"You are so powerful!" The shopkeeper couldn't help sighing, "So, more than ten thousand people should be used."
"Yes! Even the porter hired more than 8,000 people." The man in black said proudly, "This is an earth-shattering business! We don't think we can get rich when we sell half a million stones of grain. The enemy country will not work anymore."
"Up to now, you haven't mentioned asking me for money." The shopkeeper said suspiciously, "Don't you worry, my Zheng family is in debt?"
"Is it possible?" The man in black laughed triumphantly, "Young Master Zheng, but a priceless treasure. With him in hand, why don't you worry about not giving money? We are not in a hurry to ask for the money. In the future, we have our own The safe way to ask you for money, you just need to be ready at all times."
"Okay!" The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, and secretly said: These people are too weird, who knows what calculations they have made?
Another hour passed, every sea loach boat was loaded with half of the grain, and it was piled up like a mountain. The mountain of grain on the bank of the river has disappeared, and all the porters and sailors are going to lie down and pant with exhaustion.
"Very smoothly, as expected." The man in black nodded in satisfaction.
"You are too precise in your calculations." The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, "At this time it is sunrise, we can just set sail and leave!"
"Let's go, then, what are you waiting for? Five days later, I'll do the rest of the transaction."
"Send the order, pull out the anchor and set up the ship—" The shopkeeper ordered.
A loud horn sounded from the giant ship, and a flag was played. The ten giant sea loaches slowly and awkwardly turned their bows, raised their sails, and re-arranged in a goose-shaped formation, ready to set off for their return.
The man in black boarded the warship when he came, and sighed: "Fortunately, everything goes well!"
At this moment, a strange scene appeared in the giant sea loach fleet turning around. A few ships directly turned their bows to the opposite direction, downwind very fast, and rushed towards the shore.
"What's going on? What are you doing?!" The man in black yelled in panic, "You are crazy, do you want to knock us down?!"
"Something's not right, run quickly--retire!" The warship uttered an exclamation, and the sailors panicked and set up the anchor to turn the bow and escape.
At this time, the ten giant sea loaches suddenly transformed into an upside-down "U" shape, like the mouth of a behemoth, swallowing towards the river.
"It's not good!!! I've been counted!!!" The man in black yelled in panic, "Run away and set sail!"
"It's late!" On the giant sea loach ship overhead, there was a thunderous shout, "Green forest thief, do you recognize King Qi of Tang Dynasty!"
"King Qi?!" The man in black looked at the ‘big shopkeeper’ in panic, and said in horror, "You, are you King Qi?!"
"Haha! Piff, you got the trick!" Li You patted the ship's side and laughed, "Qin Mubai, really expected things like a god, set up such a magnificent skynet-today, don't even want to run. !"
"Qin... Mu Bai!" The man in black was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed sternly, "You will regret it!"
After that, I jumped and went underwater.
"Go into the water, take people!"
On the tall ship, more than ten people jumped off, and soon they caught the man in black out of the water.
"You, you are Baiqi?!" Someone on the warship exclaimed. They are so familiar with this scene! They had witnessed this scene with their own eyes during the Xihecao military exercise before!
"Yes! It is the personal guard sent by Qin Mubai to this king, haha!" Li You laughed, "You are the so-called'White Waves Marines', right? Leave a good military academy not to do it, and follow others to do it. Thief! Come on, take them all!"
Suddenly, countless bows and crossbows were erected on the side of the ship, and the talented porters and sailors, all with bows and arrows, stared at every move of everyone on the ship.
"Don't stare, half of the people on these huge ships are soldiers under the command of the king, and the navy soldiers seconded by the king from Dongting Lake, haha!" Li You laughed, "Pass the order, launch an attack , All enemies on the water, anyone who dares to move will be shot!"
The huge ship is like a city wall, rolling and pushing toward the shore. Many warships and cargo ships fled hastily. However, these huge ships formed a huge encirclement. Although the boat was flexible, once it approached the edge of the encirclement, it was shot by countless arrows. Occasionally, some guys who dived and were about to escape were shot by the deep-water crossbow spear and injured their hands.
On the surface of the big river, the drum beats and screams again and again, and they are alarmed for dozens of miles!
The man in black who dived was taken captive on the deck.
Li You stepped forward, tore off the tightly tied mask on his face, and sneered: "Although the king doesn't recognize you, you should be the head of the government office in Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion, Zhou Laojiu. ?"
The man in black was pale, his eyes widened in fear: "How do you know?"
"Of course I told him." Zhou Laojiu looked around in panic when he heard a familiar voice around him. At this time, he saw that the cabin was pulled apart, and two people walked out of it.
Qin Mubai, and Li Ke!
"Why, you, why are you hiding in here? I just checked it out!" Zhou Laojiu panicked.
"Can't we temporarily pretend to be sailors and scaffolders?" Qin Mubai and Li Ke laughed. Li Ke stepped forward, picked up Zhou Laojiu's lapels, and opened his bow from left to right with a few big mouths.
"You scum, beast, deceived the king so hard! Lost the king and regarded you as a capable person, deeply dependent on!"
"His Royal Highness, this guy is just a little character who runs errands. Killing like a dog is meaningless." Qin Mubai stretched out his hand and pointed to the shore, smiling, "Good show, over there!"
At this time, there was roaring on the river bank, and there was a mess of porridge. As the ants' boats rushed in panic, countless people screamed and fell into the water. On the river bank, the porters and sailors, half of whom were water ghosts, rushed in panic. Many people took out their swords and fled to the distance.
Suddenly there was a thunderous drum horn, and there was a rolling horse's hoof in the distance, and a cloud of smoke rose.
"Army! It's an army!!" The water ghosts cried out in shock.
A large group of cavalry, rolling in like magical soldiers. The banner of Zhang Da, in addition to the leader Wu Wangshuaiqi, and "Xue" and "Yuwen" two generals.
"Dog|Mother-born monkeys, do you recognize Lao Tzu's killing clam!" Yuwen Hongtai waved his phoenix-winged golden clam, like a giant beast with teeth and claws, riding a horse galloping forward, hands up and down, running away One of the water ghosts who was too short of it wanted to stand with a knife. In an instant, the man's knives were all shattered and flying.
"Hahaha! Happily-brothers, kill! Kill all these birds!"
"Kill—"
The soldiers of Prince Wu's Mansion, under the leadership of Yuwen Hongtai, a fierce general, rushed into the panicked water ghosts, like a tiger entering a flock, and began a tragic massacre!
On the other side, Xue Rengui pressed Fang Tian's painted halberd on the saddle, and brought a large number of horse archers to guard outside the circle, shouting: "Brothers have bright eyes, but anyone who leaks will be shot!"
"Yes——!!!" All the sergeants agreed. Hearing a bowstring creaked ‘bone and bone’, a circle of riding archers had already formed a huge blockade.
On the river embankment of this empty mine, everyone has nowhere to hide!
"Third brother, I am jealous of you!" Li You tut said, "You actually have such a fierce player under your hand. I really envy my little brother!"
"Not thanks to Mu Bai?" Li Ke smiled and nodded gratefully at Qin Mubai.
Zhou Laojiu's face was as pale as paper, and he suddenly screamed hysterically: "You, you better let me go quickly and stop killing. No, otherwise!..."
"Otherwise, you will kill Princess Wu's mother and daughter, right?" Qin Mubai sneered, "You can save yourself! At this moment, Princess Wu must have been sitting in the Prince Wu's mansion to rest, so you won't bother. "
"No, impossible!" Zhou Laojiu exclaimed with wide eyes in surprise, "How could you find them?"
"We can't find it, but someone can definitely find it!" Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Who, who?" Zhou Laojiu started to stutter.
"Of course you are your leader, Lord Song Cao!" Qin Mubai said with a pleasant smile.
"Mubai, who is the Lord Song Cao, even the king hasn't figured it out yet?" Li Ke also asked suspiciously.
"Don't rush, let me sell it!" Qin Mubai smiled, "When we are almost done here, we will pull the anchor and head to Xiangzhou. At that time, everything will come to light!"
……
In the evening, the hustle and bustle of the riverside for a day and night, finally gradually returned to peace.
There are countless shipwrecks floating on the surface of the river, and occasionally you can see blood blisters in the water, and I don't know how many fallen water ghosts are buried in fish belly. Thousands of people were detained in one place on the river bank, bound to each other under the strict supervision of a circle of soldiers. Yuwen Hongtai and Xue Rengui stood side by side, laughing heartily, making the flag envoys behind him wave the flag to Jiang Xin, making all the sergeants cheer.
"Okay, it's time to end here." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said to his side, "His Royal Highness, I will hand it over to you temporarily, and I will accompany King Wu to Xiangzhou first. Presumably, He is already desperate at the moment and wants to see Princess Wu's mother and daughter."
"Okay, let's go!" Li You smiled, "After I have cleared things up here, I will come to Xiangzhou to meet you again. I will have a swig at that time!"
"Okay, don't get drunk or return!"
Qin Mubai and Li Ke got off the sea loach and boarded the warship.
Li Ke shook his head and smiled: "Mu Bai, this is the sacred fish spacecraft that Xiangzhou Military Mansion is proud of?"
"Yes." Qin Mubai picked up the corners of his mouth and sneered. "Now you know how arrogant the officials and bandits in Xiangzhou are? Presumably before, they used warships as cover and walked grandiosely. On the Jianghan River, there is a trade of thieves and stolen goods. These so-called white wave navy forces are actually mostly water ghosts. As for Du Chengyuan, there is no need to say!"
"How do they deal with it, have you arranged it?" Li Ke asked.
"Of course." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "I had already expected that they would not send any important people out to respond to this transaction. Sure enough, they just sent an insignificant Zhou Laojiu as a ghost. But you can rest assured that at this moment, the culprits such as Du Chengyuan and Wei Xiaochen have been seized secretly by Baiqi secretly arranged by me in advance, so be careful not to run away after hearing the wind."
"What about the Lord Song Cao? Who is the Lord Song Cao?" Li Ke asked.
"You will know right away." Qin Mubai smiled.
"You will die if you say it!" Li Ke exclaimed angrily, "Quickly say it, don't sell it!"
"Hahaha!" Qin Mubai laughed up to the sky and walked toward the cabin.
……
At noon, Qin Mubai and others arrived at Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion.
At the gate of the backyard, someone leaned on the door and walked around anxiously. As soon as Li Ke appeared, someone rushed out and shouted: "It's His Royal Highness and General Qin! The humble position is raised, pay homage to His Royal Highness and General!"
"Yin Yang, you're really back!!" Li Ke was overjoyed and quickly rushed forward and helped Yin Yang up, "Quickly, how did you escape, where are the princess and the princess?" /
Yin Yang stood up and said excitedly: "It was Chen Nv Xia who saved us!"
"Chen Yan?" Li Ke's eyes widened in surprise, and looked around, "Where is she and her?"
"She said, she was not used to staying in this kind of place, and left first." Yin Yang said, "She left a message for me to take to General Qin, but said that after the matter, she will go home early. "
"Return to'home'?!" Li Ke smiled weirdly, "Qin Mubai, do you still say you have nothing to do with her?"
"Is it the time to talk about this?" Qin Mubai smiled, "You should go visit the princess and the mother and daughter!"
"Yes, yes!" Li Ke rubbed his hands in excitement and was about to lift his feet. He was suddenly startled and stared at Qin Mubai reflexively. "You asked Chen Yan to follow the'Master Song Cao' to save people. It’s coming out, right? So, I think Lord Song Cao should have fallen into your hands now?"
"Then you need to say?" Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously, "Chen Nv Xia is absolutely reassuring. Do you mean, brother Yin Yang?"
"That is!" Yin Yang laughed happily, "His Royal Highness, the head of the Xihe Cao Shui ghost, Lord Song Cao, has been arrested! It is Chen Xia who caught him!"
"What about the other person?" Li Ke asked.
"The Baiqi soldiers who had been arranged by General Qin to come to take him away, together with Zhang Tong, Wei Xiaochen, Du Chengyuan, Ouyang Jun, Duan Rongji and other criminals, were detained and guarded!" Yin Yang replied.
After listening to Li Ke, he took a full breath and was stunned for a long time. He pointed at Qin Mubai several times with his fingers, but he was surprised and surprised that he could not speak.
"I won't tell you now-I'll go see the princess and my baby girl first!" Li Ke said, lifting his leg anxiously and ran away.
Qin Mubai and Yin Yang laughed freely to the sky, and the voice came from Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan.
