Turbulent Times Chapter 686: Go to Taiyuan again

The reason for this is that Shen Guang and Six Swordsmen can easily expose Wang Junlin's identity, and they have other tasks.

Zheng Shengqiu said to Wang Junlin in a low voice: "Young master, this boat is the boat of the Fenhe Gang that the old man told you about. The old man has paid enough for the boat, and everything has been properly arranged to ensure a smooth journey to Taiyuan City, young master. You can rest assured."

Wang Junlin asked curiously: "Why is the Fenhe Gang so capable?"

Zheng Shengqiu said: "Liu Chengbiao, the head of the Fenhe gang, has been running the Fenhe passenger and cargo transportation business for more than ten years, and has a good reputation. The army is responsible for buying and selling food from outside Bingzhou and delivering it to Bingzhou, so you can eat very well in Bingzhou, so you can rest assured.”

Wang Junlin said: "So that's the case. No wonder there are only twenty or thirty passengers on such a big ship. It seems that the main purpose is to transport goods, and it is only part-time to carry passengers, right?"

Zheng Shengqiu said with a smile: "But it is the passenger transport business that makes the real money. The ship price can be adjusted at any time depending on the situation. Since there are only fifteen cabins, it is not easy to get a bed if you have money. Fortunately, the old man and that Liu Chengbiao returned Only with a certain amount of friendship can I handle this matter for the young master."

Wang Junlin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Senior, you have worked hard!"

Zheng Shengqiu said with a smile: "My lord, you are being polite. It is my honor to serve you."

"Are you sure that the Taiyuan Wang family is behind the Hundred Swords League?" Wang Junlin asked in a low voice with a serious look on his face.

"When Yang Liang was here, although the Wang family acted in a low-key manner, as the number one family leader in Bingzhou, the Wang family was the force that Old General Xiao paid the most attention to, and the old man was the person responsible for investigating all matters related to the Wang family. Although the Wang family has always acted cautiously and has nothing to do with the Hundred Swords League on the surface, but in fact without Wang's support, how could the Hundred Swords League become the number one power in Bingzhou. On the surface, the Wang family is only a family of literati. There are many civil servants in the imperial court, but if a powerful family like the Wang family does not have strong military support, there will be no bones that have been swallowed by others." Zheng Shengqiu explained in a low voice.

Wang Junlin nodded and did not speak. Instead, he led a group of people towards the pier. The passengers just started boarding, and Wang Junlin and his group were not in a hurry, and they lined up at the end of the line.

This is the first time that Wang Junlin has taken this long-distance passenger ship after time travel. I'm afraid there is something wrong with the cargo on board.

At this time, under the shadow of the wind lamp, the river was dark and dense, and the only sound was the sound of the river beating the hull and the embankment. The pier and the town are blocked by a forest, and the lights come faintly through the forest, like another world.

In addition to the passenger and cargo sailboats of the Fenhe River Gang, there are dozens of large and small sailboats moored in the upper reaches of the Fenhe River. The big man kept sending the goods under the tent to the ship.

The four well-dressed men who were in charge of counting the guests on board were quite polite and courteous, and even helped the guests carry their heavy luggage onto the ship. Wang Junlin couldn't help but glanced at this Fenhe Gang Gao. It's rare in this era, let alone coming from a Jianghu gang.

In front of Wang Junlin is a small family of three, the man seems to be a scholar, the woman is beautiful and dignified, the husband and wife are both in their twenties, with a four or five-year-old boy who looks like a tiger.

It can be seen from their eyes that they are wary of every stranger, and the same is true of Wang Junlin and his party.

Most of the other guests were dressed as business travellers, in groups of three or four, and only five or six of them looked like people in the world.

When boarding the boat, the young woman in the family of three in front suddenly turned her head and glanced warily at Wang Junlin and his party. deck.

Wang Junlin immediately understood that the family of three must have gotten into trouble, otherwise they wouldn't be as frightened as they are now.

This ship is strong and spacious, and the cabins are divided into middle and lower floors. Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu occupied a cabin. Xiao Fenger originally wanted to share a cabin with Nie Xiaoyu, but Nie Xiaoyu gave her a blank look. Xiao Feng'er's pretty face turned pale, and she became discouraged, so she had to be alone in the cabin. Old slave Chunqiu and Zheng Shengqiu shared a cabin.

Wang Junlin came to the cabin window and looked out. All the goods in the cargo shed had been moved to the ship. Thinking of the cruise ship on the river in later generations, he couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart.

The ship shook and set sail.

Suddenly the sound of hooves roared.

More than a dozen rode through the woods like a whirlwind, and rushed to the pier, shouting to stop the boat.

The people of the Fenhe gang obviously don't know where they came from. These days, Bingzhou is in chaos. The knights chased after them along the shore, and they left them far away in a blink of an eye.

…

…

The sail sailed eastward with the current, and it only took one night to pass through Wu'an County under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou.

Wang Junlin had eaten the breakfast served by Xiao Feng'er himself, and came to the bow of the boat to stand up against the wind and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the river.

This section of the river is deep and fast, and the tide is raging. The cliffs on both sides face each other, steep and steep.

Wang Junlin was delighted to see it, and felt that the trip was worthwhile. Although Nie Xiaoyu was expressionless next to him, Wang Junlin knew that she was very interested in everything she saw for the first time. On the contrary, As long as it is something she has seen once, she usually loses much interest immediately.

When he was thinking wildly, Zheng Shengqiu came to him and said, "Young Master, at noon, we will pass through Shangdang County, and the waterway from Shangdang County to Taiyuan County is even more dangerous. If the wind is favorable, we can reach Taiyuan tomorrow evening. County.”

Wang Junlin asked: "When will I arrive in Taiyuan City?"

Zheng Shengqiu replied: "After entering Taiyuan County, it will take half a day to arrive at the wharf outside Taiyuan City, and then take a carriage for an hour to enter Taiyuan City. This is the first time for Young Master and Miss Xiaoyu to walk the Fen River waterway. Along the way, the precipitous situation of the mountain peaks and the steepness of the river, the young master and Miss Xiaoyu can appreciate it to their heart's content."

Wang Junlin is as far as the eye can see, and the Fen River is like a jade belt, extending to the end of the peaks. Nodding: "The scenery along the way is really good."

After a pause, he asked, "Do you know who the person who chased this boat to stop last night is?"

Zheng Shengqiu shook his head and said: "The old man has already asked the owner of the ship. Those people have nothing to do with us. We still don't know who they are?"
