Chapter 348

After hesitating for a while, Zhao turned to look at Baihu and Zhuque, who were looking expectant. He frowned and pondered, his eyes wandering between the two, unable to make a decision.

Baihu looked up at Zhao and raised his eyebrows, "What do you want us to do? Hurry up."

"The task is arduous, it's hard to say." Zhao pretended to be mysterious.

"Hurry up." Zhuque also said.

Zhao took one hand each and pulled the two to the side, whispering face to face: "Wait, you two change your clothes and go to the ferry to wait for me. No matter what, get two boats, one big and one small, and wait on the river."

"I will come with the ox cart, there will be a coffin on the cart, I will carry the coffin on the boat. You two find a chance, the big boat is on the left, the small boat is on the right, stick to my boat, and move the coffin on the boat over!"

The two were confused and looked at Zhao in confusion, not understanding what he wanted to do.

Seeing this, Zhao Jue sighed and explained, "Old Liu is in the coffin."

Zhuque nodded, "Then what?"

"Within two days, find three horses and put them outside the city. You take Old Liu out of the city at night and ride north. Remember to take the small road, don't take the official road!"

The two were still confused, "What about you?"

Zhao Jue said in a deep voice, "Of course I ran away! Remember, wait for me at the foot of the mountain after crossing the mountain. I will rush over as soon as possible."

"Okay." The two did not say much.

After looking at Liu Zhiyuan at the same time, they pushed open the door and walked out one after another. Zhao Jue also waved to Liu Zhiyuan, indicating that he should follow him.

The two walked to the back door and saw four ox carts pulling coffins. Liu Zhiyuan looked at Zhao Jue with a little doubt. But he ignored it and turned around to glance around.

Pointing at the two drivers, he smiled and said, "You two don't have to go. Wait for me here. Let's go."

The two drivers nodded. With the other two watching, they were not afraid that they would not come back. It would be great to relax.

The other two ox carts walked in front, and Liu Zhiyuan drove one to follow closely. When they walked a little distance, Zhao jumped on the ox cart and followed their footsteps.

After passing a small alley where no one could be seen, Zhao pulled the ox cart and drove into the alley. He walked out quickly, but the coffin on the cart had disappeared.

Seeing Zhao quickly catch up with the team, the two people in front didn't say anything. People have three urgent things, and they can understand that. As for the coffin on the cart...

It's not theirs, why worry about it?

The four of them walked for more than an hour before they barely reached the ferry. Let the two drivers wait, Zhao first scanned the surroundings and found that there were two boats, one large and one small, docked on the shore. The back of Suzaku could still be vaguely seen.

Zhao smiled secretly, turned around and found a boat, worked with two drivers to move a coffin onto the boat, then gave them a few taels of silver and told them to pull the other two back to the coffin shop.

After the two walked away, he pulled Liu Zhiyuan onto the boat, untied the hemp rope and went downstream.

In the cabin, Liu Zhiyuan had been holding it in all the way, and finally got the chance, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhao, what are you doing?"

"No need to ask too much." Zhao answered softly.

He looked around and saw that two boats, one large and one small, had already started, so he nodded and bent his body to get into the cabin.

Pointing his finger down, he said seriously: "Wait a minute, the two boats will come over, and you will jump into the river while the big boat moves sideways. Do you hear me?"

"Ah? What is this for?"

"You don't need to ask! Just do what I say!"

After thinking about it, Zhao asked: "You can swim, right?"

"A little." Liu Zhiyuan said cautiously.

"It's OK if you can do it."

He took out a short piece of bamboo from somewhere, handed it to Liu Zhiyuan with a smile, and reminded him: "It's empty inside. If you really can't hold on, use this thing to change your breath. Remember not to expose the water, understand?"

Liu Zhiyuan said seriously: "I understand."

When the two were chatting happily, there was a sound of splashing water outside the boat.

When they got out of the boat, they saw that the small boat was close and the big boat was following behind. Baihu nodded slightly on the small boat, and then suddenly accelerated to get close to Zhao Jiu's boat.

Zhao Jiu nodded slightly, turned and walked into the cabin, struggled to lift the coffin out, and handed it over with gritted teeth. Baihu stood firmly, took the coffin and imitated Zhao Jiu, pretending to struggle to move it into the cabin.

Just as the two finished the handover, the big ship didn't know what happened, and it moved sideways and hit them.

There was a loud "bang", splashing a large area of ​​water. Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zhao Ju decisively stuffed the bamboo tube into Liu Zhiyuan's hand, and then threw Liu Zhiyuan, who was still in a daze, into the river.

After doing everything, Zhao Ju and Baihu exchanged glances again, then nodded, and went their separate ways. Zhao Ju went downstream, Baihu went upstream, and only the big ship was still floating on the river.

Zhao Ju believed that Baihu and Zhuque could handle the finishing chores later, so he was not so worried. He took out the coffin in the space and put it in the cabin, lowered the sail to slow down, and slept with his arm as a pillow.

After almost a day of hard work, he had to replenish his energy.

The river breeze blew gently, and the boat was moving steadily, so Zhao Ju also slept well. When he woke up, it was already dark.

He sat up and stretched his body. After waking up, he took out a few buns from the space to fill his stomach.

He walked out of the cabin and looked around. He didn't see any other boats, so he hung up the lantern and raised the sail.

He was bored, so he just sat on the bow and looked at the stars.

"Bai Hu should have rescued Lao Liu, right?" He muttered to himself.

I was thinking about something and couldn't sit still. I looked back several times. In the end, I was annoyed with myself and simply stopped thinking about these trivial things. It was Lao Liu's fate if he couldn't be saved.

It's not me who died, so why worry about it!

"I'm so idle!"

Just humming a little song to comfort myself, I turned back and saw a small boat floating towards me.

"Huh?" Zhao Jue frowned.

I don't know why, but the small boat not far away always gave him a sense of danger. The sudden idea made him a little uneasy.

He simply turned around and stared at the small boat to see if there was anything unusual. But after looking around, except for the lack of lanterns, there didn't seem to be anything suspicious.

But as the boat got closer and closer, the feeling of danger in his heart suddenly rose. This was so obvious that Zhao Jue was a little strange.

"What's going on? Is this right? This is not right!" He couldn't help asking and answering himself.

But before he could calm down his heart, a figure suddenly emerged from the cabin of the small boat behind him and looked straight at Zhao Jue.

The two looked at each other, as if they had determined the target. The figure stepped heavily and jumped up, landing lightly on Zhao Jue's boat.

Seeing this, Zhao Jue patted the cabin and pretended to be helpless: "Alas. Hide well, the one who wants to kill you is coming."

But the man didn't even look at the cabin, his eyes were still staring at Zhao Jue. This behavior made Zhao Jue confused, and he couldn't help but look around.

Then the man spoke, "No need to do this."

"The person I want to kill is you!"
