Wujiang County in Hezhou, across the river from Majiadu Town of Jiankang Mansion, was the Wujiang Pavilion under the rule of Jiujiang County in the Qin period. At the end of the year, the heroes and the Chu and Han dynasties competed for power, a generation of overlord Xiang Yu was besieged, and finally with the martial arts against the sky, he fought out of the siege and walked here, looking at Jiangdong and sighing, "Eight thousand people crossed the river with Jiangdong disciples, and no one returned today", only let the prince cross the river with his mount Wushi, and he committed suicide by the river, leaving only the descendants to sigh endlessly.

Now nearly 1,500 years have passed, and the ancient roads of the Qin and Han dynasties have long been unexaminable, and most of them have been buried by the newly built official roads after the Song dynasty crossed to the south. This official road runs along the river, connecting the back ridges of the two Huai and becoming the main transportation artery supporting the war zone. At this time, a small team of more than 20 people was hurriedly walking on this road, although they were all dressed as ordinary people, but as long as they looked at the strong limbs, neat movements and the little murderous aura inadvertently revealed between their eyebrows, they knew that they were not simple.

Li Shiyi walked in front of the dusty team, wrapped his head in a coarse cloth scarf, and his bronzed skin was exposed at the collar of the short side, because it was inconvenient to cross the river, they did not match the horses, but agreed with Li Tingzhi's department, go to his camp and get the horses again, Li Shiyi looked up at the sky, and then looked at the Wujiang county in the distance, they had already walked most of Wujiang County, and in front of them was Liyang County, and Hezhou Prefecture was in the county seat, and Li Tingzhi's temporary marshal Xingyuan was also stationed here.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, and the caravans that occasionally meet also dodge away from a distance because of the situation of seeing them, Li Shiyi is a little annoyed, this is not in line with the identity of the spy, it feels like a strongman who went down the mountain to plunder, and when he first picked people, he patronized his skills and skipped it, forgetting that the shape and appearance are also a very important part.

It seems that this time he can only observe from a distance with a telescope on the periphery, and he originally thought that he would disguise himself as a caravan to blend in, but fortunately, the brothers in this team are the elite of the rest of their lives, and they have walked all the way for so long, and no one has fallen behind or shouted tired, which makes him somewhat comforted.

In fact, he understood what Taishou meant, this was not an urgent military matter, but those spies in the past had lost too much, and Taishou needed to train another batch, so he regarded this as an opportunity to get close to actual combat, Li Shiyi volunteered to take over the responsibility of leading the team, and he thought that no one was more qualified than him.

"Li Tou, it's time." The hoarse voice of the black bull sounded beside him, in the team, he did not call Brother Eleven, but changed to an official title, Li Shiyi was promoted three times in a row because of his merit as soon as he returned to the city, and now he is a "deputy lieutenant of Jinyi", and then there is a fourth order to enter the product, and the position has also been promoted from the team to the deputy capital, becoming an official centurion.

Li Shiyi raised his hand and motioned for the team to stop, and he took out a watch from his arms, which was given to him by Taishou, because he was afraid that it would be too conspicuous, so he did not wear it on his hand. looked at the watch hand, the black head was right, it was indeed time to rest, this was planned from the beginning, how many miles a day, when to rest and when to get up, according to the meaning of Taishou is to be accurate to the point and form a system, although Li Shiyi does not know why, he still understands it if he strictly follows it.

"Take a break and don't go far." Li Shiyi raised his voice and said, everyone dispersed in a loud voice, just now when the march was not allowed to make a sound This is military discipline, and now it can be regarded as a little relaxed, they are all voluntary names, naturally they have to obey the order, seeing that this guy who was an ordinary soldier a few months ago has now stepped into the ranks of officers, they are all a little envious, but what they don't know is that how many of these lives disappeared silently.

Li Shiyi never thought that he could be addicted to being a spy, earlier it was just to fulfill the last wishes of those sacrificial comrades in the same team, and gradually he had fallen into it and couldn't extricate himself. Enchanted is enchanted, Li Shiyi said to himself indifferently, this job fulfills all his wishes, novelty, excitement, and control.

He left the official road and walked in the direction of the river, and the scattered crowds avoided the shade in twos and threes, either eating or drinking, and some of them ran to the river with their trousers in their hands. Li Shiyi untied the gourd on his waist, pulled out the plug and poured saliva, at this time, there was a sound of "doo" in his arms, he was slightly stunned, and quickly took it out, as soon as he opened the receiving button, Taishou's voice sounded.

"Well, there are three people in total, on a small boat, a certain is clear, don't worry, finish speaking." Li Shiyi put away the walkie-talkie, sipped his finger and blew a loud whistle, everyone in the team stopped their movements and gathered around him, and the few people who ran the farthest were so busy that they didn't even finish their trouser belts, Li Shiyi looked at them one by one, the numbers matched, and then he cleared his throat and prepared to speak.

"There is work to be done, Hei Niu, you take someone with a certain letter card, go to the county town to find the chief officer, let them find some fishing boats, don't want military boats, rent or borrow, no less than ten." Li Shiyi first turned to the black bull, and with an order, the black bull rubbed his hands excitedly and ran to the county seat in the distance with a person, this is a matter of urgency, he knows that the black bull runs fast with long legs and feet.

"I know that you are all a little watery, and now I listen to a certain word, there are those who think they can swim in the water like water ghosts, raise your hand and signal, don't force it, if you can't do it, this will cost your life, no wonder you didn't make it clear in advance." Li Shiyi said slowly, and after listening, there was a brief silence in the crowd, and then, several hands slowly raised, and he nodded with satisfaction.

The river has made a big turn above Jiankang Mansion, and the river in this area is wider than elsewhere, because of the war, the river has not yet recovered to the busy scene of the sails like clouds in the past. At this time, most of the ships traveling back and forth were cargo fleets of the government and large merchants, and dozens or hundreds of ships in a team were assembled and traveled, and very few were alone

Xie Chenggui bent over and looked at the bow of the boat, he was wearing a Song Army-style Fan Yang hat, and the huge brim of his hat just blocked the sunlight. Rao is like this, his eyes are still stabbed and can only be slightly opened, and when he went down to this river, Xie Chenggui found that on such a large river, his lonely boat looked so special.

The reason why he chose the ship was that in addition to the fact that he was born in a naval family and had a good water nature that was not inferior to the southerners, it was also a reason why he was not good at riding a horse and taking hostages. And more importantly, Xie Chenggui knew that the state troops on the other side of the river had already surrendered before the war, and if he was lucky, he would be able to enter his own territory as long as he crossed the river.

And now, of course, he knew that he was not lucky, and went upstream, the riverside on this side was just opposite the Jiankang Mansion, and he could easily see the banner of the riverside garrison, but unfortunately it was not the Yuanren army he expected. He couldn't help but hesitate a little, if he wanted to go back, he could only continue to go up, and he didn't know where he would enter his own territory.

It wasn't until he took the Song official to get on the ship prepared by the defenders, and the surrounding sergeants didn't dare to act rashly although they were eyeing each other, Xie Chenggui breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that he was really released, and he didn't have to go back to the camp to be with everyone in the stinking tent, he really felt that he was willing to die.

It's a pity that he still couldn't save his father, the letter was placed in his arms, Xie Chenggui clearly remembered every word on it, and the Song people categorically rejected his request, even if he threatened the official's life, Xie Chenggui had no choice but to do what his father said in the letter, and go back first.

In the letter, Xie Ruji repeatedly asked him not to harm this person's life, otherwise the Song people would take his father's life, looking at the official huddled in the middle of the boat, Xie Chenggui did not think about killing him, this is the life-saving thing of their line, although the Song people promised not to send military ships to chase, but who knows if it will turn into an ordinary civilian ship.

Now it is one of his father's personal soldiers who is rowing, which was released by the Song people at his request, and there is no one to help, so it is impossible for him to row for long alone. The better Song people talked, the more Xie Chenggui's heart beat the drum, and he kept looking left and right along the way, trying to find a flaw.

If the Song people really want to do something on this river, he has nothing to fear, the river is no better than the plain, with his water nature, he is confident that no one can find him in the river. At most, dive farther, find a no-man's land and run ashore, as long as you can escape with your life, a little hardship is nothing.

Huang Yong, who was tied up, closed his eyes and said nothing, a strong sense of shame in his heart, just a few hours ago, he was still a dignified angel, the highest-ranking male official in Jiankang City. Who would have thought that now he has become a prisoner of the ranks, and he has always been strong and upright, but he only feels ashamed and angry to death.

Originally, it was just a feeling, but now he was really thinking about this problem, these people must be going back to the Tartars, if they were tied up like this, it would really be better to die, but the hateful body was tied too tightly, and it was really not easy to turn over the side of the ship.

They have been gone for a while, Xie Chenggui estimated that he was about to leave the Jiankang Mansion realm, and the state was a Wuwei army in the past, and he only hoped that it would still be under the rule of the Yuan people. Otherwise, once it was night, it would be a little difficult, and he had not yet made up his mind whether to simply abandon the hostages and disembark from the ship, and then escape at night.

The further he goes, the more scarce the boats on the river become, and occasionally encountering the people who are fishing, Xie Chenggui has to stare at it for a long time, for fear that it is the Song people who are pretending, and every time he passes, he will laugh at himself in his heart, he is a bow and snake shadow, and the Song people will only chase after him from behind, how can he appear in front.

There was a "whoosh" sound, and the black bull dressed as a male propped up the long boat penny into the bottom of the water, and the small fishing boat flexibly accelerated with his movements, so that the real boatman behind him appreciated, and the boat lady of this family, a little lady who was only ten years old, looked at the strong body of the black bull and was fascinated, which made him more coquettish.

"Twenty paces ahead of you to the right, it seems to be the boat, pay attention, is the one in the middle who is tied? After speaking. The sound of the walkie-talkie in his arms sounded, the black bull listened quietly, his eyes glanced over there, he stood taller, and could see more clearly than Li Shiyi on the shore, there were not three people on the boat, the one in the middle was upside down and was tied up.

Hearing the whispered return of the black bull, Li Shiyi hurriedly issued an order to the boats in the river, and the fishing boats that were originally scattered everywhere moved with it, secretly encircling the way of the small boat, and at the same time, he also informed Liu Yu, who was rushing here, that he had found the target.

Xie Chenggui's attention was turning back from behind, and he couldn't catch up with a boat about the same size as he was riding, Xie Chenggui's heart tightened, and he looked at the tall man at the bow of the boat, and the two people in the back, an old man and a woman, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem to be Song Bing, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, where is this going, the little ones have some freshly caught fresh fish here, but you want to taste it, it's not a small boast, our fisherman is famous for her good skills." Hei Niu's Jiangnan dialect is not inappropriate in Xie Chenggui's ears, how can he distinguish those subtle differences, but Huang Yong, who fell in the boat, suddenly opened his eyes, this is already Huaidi, but this boatman has a Lin'an accent.

Insight Chenggui didn't pay attention, the black bull didn't care, he smiled and said "hehe" twice, this is the code word of the hands, more than ten fishing boats formed a big circle, the sergeants on the boat sang Jiangnan slang songs loudly, and cast the fishing nets on the boat, secretly, a few good water skills have quietly slid down with short blades.

When Xie Chenggui finally found that something was wrong, he quickly straightened up and wanted to pounce on Huang Yong in the middle, but as soon as he stood up, the hull under his feet shook violently, and before he could balance his body, the boat overturned, and the three people on the boat all fell into the water.

Xie Chenggui, who fell into the water, opened his eyes and felt a burst of despair, the group of Song people besieging them actually blocked the surrounding groups with fishing nets, and no matter where he swam, he would directly hit the net. Before he could come up with a countermeasure, the fishing nets began to close under the manipulation of several water ghosts, easily netting all three of them.

"Ahem" A stream of river water spurted out of Huang Yong's mouth, he coughed violently, until there was no more water left in his lungs, then he raised his eyes to look around, just now when he fell into the water, he thought that he was definitely going to be drowned like this, although he was not ignorant of water, but his hands and feet were tied, and it was difficult for Da Luo Jinxian to perform.

"Xuanwei thinks it's good, and I still recognize so-and-so." Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar voice sounded, and then the face that he had hated once appeared in front of Huang Yong's eyes, with a special expression of concern. R1058
