Chapter 1369 The Hard-Working Assassin

Fan Shuang showed his special approval from King Yao at Longkou Ferry and easily got the priority to board the ship. He Lingchuan and others boarded the ship as VIPs, so they naturally didn't have to carry large items or eat steamed buns. However, the cabin was not spacious enough because Longkou Ferry's capacity was really tight, so everyone had to squeeze in.

In terms of high-level enjoyment, Yao Kingdom is far superior to other places in the Golden Plains. Large river boats like this have become cruise ships, where you can eat, drink, whore and gamble - as long as you have enough money.

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui's dinner was like steamed buns or steamed buns, but it was made of fine white flour, and then lightly roasted on the fire until the outer skin was slightly burnt, and the knife rustled when scraped, and the inside was stuffed with honey, ham, and fish floss. and pickled small olives, which taste sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and spicy.

Even the wine on the ship has a light woody aroma, which is very novel.

After dinner, He Lingchuan went to the bow of the boat to enjoy the breeze.

This is a habit he developed in Yangshan.

The Baitiao River is not as broad as the sea, with gentle clear waves and shallow waves. Swimming in still water is another feeling.

Dong Rui also moved over and whispered: "I went to the cargo hold and checked around, everything is normal."

"Are the boxes okay?"

"Everything is fine and quiet." Dong Rui chuckled, "I'll bring a jar of wine with me tomorrow night."

"Don't get caught."

"Don't worry. The cargo hold is stuffy and wet, and ghosts usually don't go there." Dong Rui sighed, "That place is really not for humans."

He Lingchuan smiled: "They received information from Afeng before boarding the ship. They observed it for a few days and found that the most powerful think tank Tong Huan and a few elites were missing from the team. I guess he left these people behind Go to Shuangxi to prepare for any eventuality."

Xue Zongwu left his clever head in Shuangxi to deal with Qingyang's tricks.

"Those of his men are very good at cultivation and combat prowess. It seems that he is worried about being tough."

If Qingyang uses soft tactics, Tong Huan can handle it; if he tries hard, Xue Zongwu's men can fight head-on.

It's quite thoughtful.

"That's a good thing." Dong Rui gave a thumbs up. He Lingchuan only stole a few account books and set fire to the official office, and then he trapped Xue Zongwu and reduced the number of guards brought back to the capital.

The chance of your own success has increased a little.

Dong Rui nodded with his chin forward, "Hey, we've been on a boat trip for three days, do you have any ideas?"

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and they could see many ships in front of them.

There were many people on the boat, so Dong Rui could only use code words.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "You can take the boat with peace of mind."

"how?"

"There are confined spaces on board, and the personnel are relatively fixed. If there are no strong winds and waves, it is difficult to cause an accident that disrupts the situation." Fishing is easy in muddy waters. If the water is too clear, the fish will see you first. "Look at the weather, it's probably going to be calm in the next few days."

Dong Rui also had some knowledge of the sky. He looked up and sighed.

Indeed, the Baili River is too calm, and the boat is sailing smoothly.

"Our 'friend' chose Longkou Ferry because he took advantage of the safety of the boat." He Lingchuan said softly, "He abandoned Yanmu Cliff and took a detour, which shows that he has heightened his vigilance. Do you think he will not be strict on the boat? Be on guard?"

It's definitely not a good idea to do anything on the ship.

Dong Rui snickered: "Maybe those men in black are here too, and they will come to disrupt the situation."

"Then it's not disturbing the situation, it's causing death." He Lingchuan pointed into the water, "There is something in the river."

Dong Rui was slightly shocked: "What?"

"There is a group of big fish, all of which are more than one foot long. The largest one is more than two feet long and has whiskers on its lips." Under the moonlight, the river was like an ink pool, so dark that no one could see clearly what was under the water, except for the soul-telling mirror. . "It's full of sharp teeth. Well, it might be a catfish."

"A passing monster?"

"No, they have been following us all the way." He Lingchuan looked at the dark river water and knew that there were things swimming back and forth underneath. "To be precise, they have been following this fleet since Longkou Ferry, and they have never left. ”

Dong Rui reacted immediately: "Good guy, our good friend has hired a Shui Ling escort?"

The Yao Kingdom is a serious and powerful country with a shining gold, it has Yuan Power and canonized mountains, rivers and water spirits. Outside the officialdom, Xue Zongwu can still use such a force.

If someone wanted to plot against him on the boat, they would inevitably jump into the water before escaping. At that time, Shui Ling will teach him an unforgettable lesson.

With these catfish roaming around, the waterways are no longer safe.

Dong Rui understood: "No wonder you didn't do anything." It turned out that he had seen the catfish circling around.

He Lingchuan sighed. Before he got on the boat, he was indeed a little moved and wanted to kill Xue Zongwu on the road. But as soon as the soul-capturing mirror discovered the catfish demon underwater, He Lingchuan understood that it was a trap!

The trap set by Xue Zongwu for the assassin.

Then in addition to the catfish demon, Xue Zongwu must have prepared other gifts for the assassin with malicious intentions. He Lingchuan thanked him.

"I wonder if those men in black will take action." He Lingchuan yawned, "If they don't die like this, it means they are lucky, and I might be able to help them later."

Luck is also part of strength.

…

Early the next morning, Weng Xing was woken up by the loud voice of the foreman: "Get up, you bunch of lazy pigs, come up and work!"

He rubbed his eyes and stood up slowly.

Normally, he would get up before the rooster crows and practice breathing exercises, but he was so tired in the past few days that he actually slept soundly and sweetly in the bilge that was full of sweat and athlete's foot.

He looked around and saw no sign of his brother.

Where did it go?

The laborers around him got up and cursed. Weng Xing stuffed steamed buns into his mouth while putting on his boots.

When he climbed onto the deck, Weng Su also came over to help him move a box, and whispered: "Not good."

Perhaps because he had received too much bad news recently, Weng Xing's heart was no longer beating, and he only asked: "What's wrong?"

"That dog...that man doesn't seem to be on this ship."

"...Brother!" Weng Xing's hand loosened and the box almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his brother lifted it up. "You are my real brother, don't tease me!"

"It's not dawn, I'm going to the stern to drain water." He drank too much water last night, "and just heard two guards on duty on the upper floor chatting, saying that they had a big meal last night."

"Need I say that?" Weng Xing immediately felt that the steamed buns he was chewing were not fragrant anymore. The delicacies served last night made him so greedy.

"They then said that since the general was not on the boat, no one was eating the food, so they gave it to them."

Weng Xing was stunned for a long time: "What about the general?"

"If he is not on this boat, then he is on another boat!" Weng Su gritted his teeth and creaked, "This bastard is as cunning as a ghost!"

The fact that Xue Zongwu did not leave Yanmu Cliff showed that he was on guard. When he arrived at Longkou Ferry, this man used a trick to send more than a hundred guards on this boat, and quietly boarded another boat.

The two brothers stood on the deck and looked at the sails like flags. Who knows which boat Xue Zongwu was hiding on!

They could only sigh and give up the idea for the time being.

Weng Xing's shoulders collapsed: They worked hard to chase the enemy for hundreds of miles, guarding the rocks in the wind and rain, and working hard in the wind and waves, but in the end they were played around by their enemies?

"What should we do now?"

"I ask you, Ah Xing——" Weng Su said seriously, "Do you want to give up?"

Weng Xing was stunned and shook his head vigorously: "No! Brother Tu has been very kind to us, I must avenge him!"

He dared to say this because there was no one around.

A mere setback, no injuries, how could he take it seriously?

"Okay, this is my brother!" Weng Su said with relief, "Let the thief have a few more days, we should eat and sleep, and then we will settle accounts with him when we get ashore!"

Weng Xing gritted his teeth secretly and encouraged himself: "Yes!"

"Hey, what are you two dawdling about?" The boat foreman called out their brothers not far away. Two burly men moved a box for a long time before moving forward ten feet. Is this reasonable? "I'm talking about you two, yes, you two. There is no waste on this boat! Move it faster."

...

The Bailang River was calm and there were no accidents.

The Weng brothers tried to find out which boat Xue Zongwu was hiding on, but how easy was it?

Two days later, the boat trip ended and the passengers went ashore.

It was not until then that the Weng brothers saw Xue Zongwu coming down from a plain-looking boat that could only carry 70 or 80 people.

Then a group of guards squeezed over, protected him in the middle, and took him away like a star holding the moon.

"Bastard!" The two brothers squeezed in the crowd preparing to get off the boat, and dared to curse in a low voice, "He looks radiant!"

"That's not right, he has eaten and slept well these two days, and there are special people to serve him!" Unlike them, who worked hard on the boat for two and a half days!

At this time, the guards on their ship called the foreman aside and whispered.

The foreman gestured here, and the guards' eyes were also malicious.

Weng Su saw it and felt something was wrong, and said to his brother: "The wind is strong."

Weng Xing was startled and looked at the river.

As long as his brother gives a signal, he will jump!

As expected, after the guards heard the words of the foreman, they stretched out their hands to call four or five companions, and walked quickly here.

Sure enough, they came for them! Weng Su acted as if nothing had happened, but secretly used his true strength.

"These two——" The guard leader pointed and shouted, "Take them away!"

He pointed directly at Weng Su...'s side.

Several guards rushed over, like wolves and tigers, and dragged away the two laborers beside Weng Su.

"Ah, it's unfair, we didn't do anything!" The two laborers shouted, but no one paid attention.

"......?" The Weng brothers looked at each other. A false alarm?

The guards took away three or four more people in succession, all of whom were menial workers, and then let everyone get off the boat.

After the guards on the boat had left, Weng Xing approached the foreman and whispered, "Why were these people arrested?"

"The adults around General Xue said that there were assassins on the boat, and asked me to help find suspicious people!"

The two brothers were shocked: "Ah, what kind of suspicious people are they?"

"They are obviously here to work, but they don't work hard, they always look around, and they always gather together and whisper." The foreman pointed to the backs of the servants who were taken away by the guards, "Look, those are all, I reported them to the adults."

Weng Su could only exclaim insincerely: "So, that's it, General Xue is really amazing."

"If they work as hard as you two, they won't be regarded as assassins."
