Chapter 1362: Murderous Intent in the Fog

After the fleet passed Tianjin Wei, it went much smoother.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Jinling."

"What are you going to do?"

"The big market in Jinling is in a hurry!"

"Oh, got it, let's go."

Every ship that follows will be questioned, and those who are suspected will be boarded for inspection.

This kind of scene happened almost every day. As there were more and more boats on the canal, Fang Xing simply ordered to only pay attention to the suspicious boats, and leave the rest alone.

So I watched the battle of hundreds of boats, but unfortunately I couldn't see the fish flying in the shallow bottom.

The life on the boat was very boring. After Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji played a game of Go, both of them felt that it was boring.

"It is estimated that the news will be faster than ours. When we go ashore, the whole south will be in turmoil. How to break the situation is a difficult problem..."

"At present, we can only look at the abilities of Dongchang and Jinyiwei over there. Your Majesty said that they have a list on hand. We should think about how to use this list to pry open the iron curtain of the southern officialdom, and fight together."

Fang Xing said that he was righteous and worried about the country and the people, but he was thinking in his heart whether he could get rid of a few corrupt officials who were most resolute against science, which could be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys.

But Zhu Zhanji was a little absent-minded.

"Corruption in the south is nothing new, just follow the vine, just look at the meaning of the emperor's grandfather, probably because he doesn't want to take me to the north..."

"You're really not fit to go."

Fang Xing analyzed: "If you go to Beizheng again, you might end up as King Qin in the future, why bother?"

After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, if a foreign enemy invades, who will be in command?

Zhu Zhanji has been to the battle in person many times, so of course he is the best candidate.

But those who are familiar with history books still remember that Li Er, who was too powerful in the military, directly changed the situation in the early Tang Dynasty, and finally even his father Li Yuan became a prisoner.

Zhu Zhanji went to the deck with some gloom, and Fang Xing lay alone, falling asleep with the rocking of the boat.

There is an endless stream of boats outside, and when they see this fleet, they will carefully lean over to the side.

"Is that for food delivery?"

Two large ships approached from afar, and dozens of sacks were piled up on the deck. It seemed that the warehouse could not hold them all.

Xin Laoqi put down the binoculars and said, "Well, it's a grain ship."

The two boats gradually approached, but did not pull aside.

Standing at the bow of the boat was a person who was holding hands from a distance, smiling all over his face.

"My lords, the boat is too heavy, if it veers suddenly it will capsize, I'm offended."

Fang Xing's fleet is all official ships, easy to identify.

Xin Laoqi and his servants stared at the two ships, waiting for them to pass by before relaxing. In the cabin, the scouts were all ready and ready to rush out at any time.

...

At night, due to reduced visibility, the fleet began to slow down.

Fang Xing slept for two hours during the day, at this time he was mentally looking for something to do.

There was a family member at the bow, and Liu Guan was also there, and seemed to be talking to Xin Laoqi.

"...I used to be in charge of picking trees back then. Those trees were so big that several people couldn't hug them..."

Seeing Fang woke up, Liu Guan smiled and said: "Yebo is fine, I'm talking about teenagers, but Xing and Bo laughed."

However, officials above the ministerial level rarely brag with others outside, let alone talk about their previous experiences.

There are a few lanterns hanging on the boat, and it feels lonely on the canal.

Fang Xing didn't mind either, so he told Liu Guan about interesting things about his conquests, and the two became acquainted in no time.

After chatting for half an hour, Liu Guan yawned and got up to sleep.

"Master, it's foggy."

Xin Lao Qi has already put on his whole body, and the servants are also ready.

Fang Xing only had one knife, and when he saw Sun Yue coming out protecting Zhu Zhanji, he said, "Are you sure there is something wrong with the grain ship during the day?"

"yes."

Fang Wu said: "My lord, the waterline is not right. This is what the boatman said. And the man's smile was a bit far-fetched. He didn't expect our people to watch his every move with binoculars in the cabin."

"Be careful with the boats behind. The opponent is likely to move them first, and then take advantage of our chaos before attacking this ship."

It is still unknown who the opponent is, but there are many forces who want Fang Xing's life at this time, and even Zhu Zhanji may be on the blacklist.

"It's too tiring to walk by land, and it's risky to walk by water, so let's fight and see who is doing it."

Zhu Zhanji was calm, even a little eager to try.

"Let's sail, and we will stop in a quarter of an hour."

Fang Xing ordered that sailing at night is also risky, and the speed cannot be increased.

There were two gangs of boatmen on board, they came in rotation, following Fang Xing's order, the fleet began to move slowly.

This is a temptation. If there are enemies, they must immediately follow.

"It's getting foggy!"

Sun Yue looked at the mist rising slightly from the water, and couldn't help being a little upset.

The mist looks beautiful, but it is the enemy's accomplice.

The fog gradually increased, and visibility dropped sharply.

"Go back!"

So the deck was empty.

The last ship was loaded with supplies and was guarded by twenty scouts.

When the fog became thicker, the little flag officer called the boatman to let him feel it carefully.

"Let me know if there is any movement."

The boatman nodded, then closed his eyes to feel the slight shaking of the boat.

Once someone climbs, the shaking of the hull will intensify.

Twenty scouts waited quietly...

After an unknown amount of time, the boatman suddenly opened his eyes, and the scouts also synchronized.

The ship was shaking, the boatman pointed to the port side, the little flag officer nodded and waved back.

In the fog, he could only see the distance of five or six steps with the help of the lantern, but this was enough.

More than a dozen people had short knives in their mouths, and their bodies were actually naked, so they boarded the ship like this.

A slight gasp was heard in the cabin, but the scouts still didn't move.

Compared with those enemy scouts on the grassland, the methods of this group of enemies are really old-fashioned.

The panting sound gradually subsided, the leader man was already red from the cold, he listened carefully to the movement in the cabin.

For a long time, the man walked barefoot and cautiously into the cabin. The people behind him moved together, and suddenly the boat began to shake slightly.

This kind of shaking can naturally be felt by experienced boatmen.

So the man suddenly shouted violently: "Do it!"

"crossbow……"

...

The shouting from the back of the fleet alarmed the others, and several ships were lit up immediately, and then the scouts ran to the stern to search for the enemy's traces.

Only the leading ship remained silent.

"crossbow……"

"ah!"

There were screams from behind from time to time, but the ship remained the same.

"Wow!"

Amid the unscrupulous sound of water, a small boat quickly approached.

There were five men standing on the boat, their bodies were shaking, and there were two people behind each of them stabilizing their bodies.

When the boatman approached, he stretched out his penny to support the side of the big boat, making a strange noise.

At the same time, some of the five men gave a drink, then drew their bows and arrows, and shot arrows towards the porthole in the dim light.
