Chapter 798: Passing the Level
At night, two big ships slowly moored ten miles north of Jiangdu County, and three carriages had been parked on the shore in advance. ”
A person jumped out of the carriage and lit up a bronze medal, and under the moonlight, the words on the bronze medal were very clear, which was the three words 'Jin Wei Mansion'.
The people on the boat showed a silver medal, which is also the Jin Palace, but their card types are slightly different, the people on the boat are oval-shaped brands, and the people in the carriage are square brands, this is because they belong to different offices, the ship is the Special Armed Forces Department, and the people in the carriage are the Intelligence Department.
The man in the carriage saluted respectfully, "In the next week, I will serve in the Yangzhou Intelligence Bureau." ”
The man on the big boat nodded, "I've worked hard, I'm Yang Shaowu, the captain of the third battalion of the Special Armed Forces Department, and I will take four brothers to escort the goods south." ”
He turned around and whistled, and out of the boat a dozen people came out of the boat, and they carried several large wooden boxes out of the big boat, and transferred them to two carriages, a total of four large wooden boxes in the shape of a long strip, each of which was very heavy.
The four young and strong men each got into two carriages, together with the wooden box, and they and the leader Yang Shaowu followed the carriage to continue south, but at this time there was an extra carriage.
Zhou Jing was a little puzzled, the other party sent a pigeon letter asking for three carriages, but in fact two were enough, at this time, two men in black walked down from a boat behind, wearing hats and veils covering their faces, but it could be seen that there were two women, one was petite, the other was tall and plump, and the two of them got into the third carriage.
"Are they .......," Zhou Jing asked in a low voice.
Yang Shaowu smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know who they are, I haven't spoken all the way, I only know that they are from the worship hall, and they haven't said a word along the way." ”
Zhou Jing's mind turned, and he suddenly remembered who the other party was, it must be Li Ying who burned down the Jiangdu shipyard, she brought two apprentices at that time, and this time only one person.
"I know them, they have come to stay at the Gaosheng Inn, and the shopkeeper said that their martial arts are terrifyingly high, and they have a cold personality, so it's best not to provoke them."
Yang Shaowu nodded, and the leader Guo Yuniang also told him that this woman was directly dispatched by His Royal Highness King Jin, and was once the top master of the Tibetan Sword Tower, and her martial arts even surpassed Li Man, and she was ruthless, so it was best to ignore her along the way, he was very careful along the way, and specially prepared a boat for her, and then everyone ignored each other.
This time their task is very arduous, transporting twenty small iron fire mines to Jiangnan, except for his relatively strong martial arts, the other four are all professional soldiers of the firearms battalion, and the real guards are only these two women.
Yang Shaowu has seen this woman's ruthless methods with his own eyes, when passing by Chenliu County, the tall woman was washing on the deck behind the ship, just when a fleet passed by, two boatmen teased her with foul language, but when they saw her hand raised, the two boatmen fell into the water and never got up, and there was not even a scream in the middle.
Yang Shaowu immediately realized that it was probably not trivial for this woman to use poisonous methods, otherwise the two boatmen would at least scream, the petite little lady was her apprentice, although she had never seen her make a move, it was estimated that she would not be weak.
"Let's go!"
They moved neatly, and when they got into the carriage, the carriage departed.
Zhou Jing took a horse, Yang Shaowu rode with him, twenty iron fire thunder was very heavy, the carriage was pulled by two horses, there was a carport behind, the wooden box was placed at the bottom, and it was covered with some cloth.
They really encountered an investigation, they couldn't cover it up, they used silver to open the way all the way, but it was also very smooth, the road was unimpeded, the reason why they had to change to the land route in Yangzhou was because the ship would be forcibly requisitioned by the army when they arrived in Jiangdu, and the risk was too great.
"Are the three coachmen reliable?" Yang Shaowu glanced at the carriage and asked.
Zhou Jingjing nodded, "It's all our own people, we still have the pass card that Li Run, the chief bookkeeper of Jiangyang County, got it, and it is the identity provided to the military, and we won't check it all the way." ”
"Where to cross the river?" Yang Shaowu asked again.
"It's a small village about 50 miles east of Jiangyang County, called Huangwan Village, and the boats are already waiting there."
"Yes, you've made a good arrangement." Yang Shaowu said approvingly.
Zhou Jing smiled bitterly, this is the task of the red level, that is, the highest level, the entire Jinweitang along the way, as well as in Yangzhou and Runzhou, has been mobilized up and down, can they not be serious?
On the carriage, Ying Caihe closed his eyes and rested, but the apprentice Jingyu was a little curious in her heart, and she couldn't help asking, "Master, what are the four wooden boxes?" ”
"That's a big killer for the world, don't ask, hurry up and sleep for a while."
Jingyu stuck out her tongue, didn't dare to ask more, and closed her eyes.
The three horse-drawn carriages went south along the official road, and when they were about to reach Jiangdu City, they turned to another road, which was a special road for transporting salt, commonly known as the salt road.
"Jiangdu City is still in a wartime state, the sentry posts on the official road have been replaced by soldiers, it is more dangerous, it is much better to take the salt road, the sentry post on the salt road is called the money card, as long as the money is given, even if it is to openly transport the soldiers, they will pretend not to see it.
Yang Shaowu smiled, the things they were transporting were much more serious than the armor.
As Zhou Jing described, there are three checkpoints on the salt road in just 30 miles, without exception, as long as the money does not look at the goods, a carriage costs five taels of silver, and three carriages successfully reach the riverside, and it is necessary to walk another 30 miles to the east to reach Huangwan Village.
The carriage was still moving along the salt road, the road was uneven, the carriage was bumpy, and the speed of walking slowed down.
After walking for about ten miles, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front, and Zhou Jing's face changed, "Oops, I met the inspection team!" ”
"What inspection team?" Yang Shaowu asked.
"The one who inspects the smuggling of salt is the army, which is very fierce and kills people without salt tickets."
Zhou Jing was very nervous, he was really afraid of something, they were afraid of encountering the private salt inspection team, which was usually not very encountered, but today they encountered it.
Yang Shaowu turned around and whistled, hinting that there was danger, and the firearms battalion soldiers accompanying the car all clenched the hilt of their swords, but the carriage in which Ying Caihe was riding did not move.
The cavalry rushed to the front, raised their hands, signaled to stop the carriage, a total of twenty cavalrymen, wearing swords at their waists and holding short spears in their hands, all fierce and vicious.
"What's being shipped?" The commander of the first brigade shouted and asked.
"It's cloth, the cloth of the military."
Zhou Jing handed over the pass card to the other party, which was issued by each county, which was specially used to transport logistics materials to the army, and with it, the checkpoints on the road would not be checked.
But the army that inspects the illicit salt obviously ignores this set, they are different systems, and the army has nothing to do with them in the war, just as the sale of illicit salt has nothing to do with the army.
The commander of the first brigade didn't look at the brand, and shouted: "Go and see what they are transporting?" ”
The cavalrymen urged their horses to check on the carriage, and the soldiers pointed their spears at the men inside, shouting, "Get out of here!" ”
Yang Shaowu said calmly: "Everyone come out first!" ”
The four soldiers jumped out of the carriage, and the commander of the brigade glanced at the four soldiers, and was secretly taken aback, these four people are all athletic, although they are not tall, but there is a feeling of long-term training between their gestures, he immediately realized that there was something wrong with the carriage, and shouted: "Hand over all the weapons, otherwise I will kill you!" ”
The four of them looked at Yang Shaowu, Yang Shaowu quickly glanced at Ying Caihe's carriage, it was still very calm over there, as if nothing had happened, he was secretly anxious in his heart, but he also knew that the four soldiers were soldiers of the firearms battalion, not the opponent of the twenty cavalry, and there could be no unnecessary casualties at this time.
"Put your sword on the ground and step aside."
The four soldiers unsheathed their swords from their waists and placed them on the ground, and they stepped aside.
"The same goes for you!"
The brigade commander pointed a short spear at Yang Shaowu, "Put down your weapon!" ”
Yang Shaowu also untied the sword and threw it to the ground, his real weapon was a soft sword, wrapped around his waist and covered with clothes.
"Search me thoroughly!"
The soldiers jumped off their horses to search the wagon, and immediately one of the soldiers shouted: "There are two big wooden boxes underneath!" ”
The other side also shouted: "There are also two wooden boxes here!" ”
At this time, several soldiers laughed and said: "There are two beautiful women in this carriage, they are really good-looking, big white sheep!" ”
The soldiers were attracted and ran to see the beautiful women.
The brigade commander pointed a spear at the wooden box and asked, "What's in here?" ”
Yang Shaowu said calmly: "It's all tableware for eating." ”
"Fuck your shit, open it for me!"
The brigade commander shouted left and right: "Pry them open for me!" ”
At this time, the brigade commander suddenly felt something, and when he turned around, he saw that six or seven soldiers in front of the third carriage had fallen limply, and there was an extremely beautiful woman standing in front of the carriage.
He was taken aback, "Who are you?" ”
The glamorous woman sneered, flew in the air, and with a flash of cold light in her hand, the head of the brigade commander flew up.
Started to move, Yang Shaowu roared, pulled out the soft sword from his waist, shook his hand, and stabbed a sword into the chest of a soldier, snatching his short spear.
"You guys go and grab weapons and horses!" Yang Shaowu turned around and shouted.
Four firearms battalion soldiers galloped towards Ying Caihe's carriage, snatched the short spears of several fallen soldiers, and turned on their horses.
But at this time, they found that they didn't need to make their own moves, and the two women in black flew in the air like two black butterflies, and where they passed, the opposing cavalry fell off their horses one after another.
Especially the woman in black at the head, a few golden rays of light flew out with a flick of her hand, and several soldiers who were turning around and running away only felt an itch in their necks, and reached out to touch it, but they felt a needle stuck in their necks, and before they could pull out the needle, their eyes were dark, and they fell off their horses.
Yang Shaowu suddenly understood how the boatmen on the road died.
