Yun Qing pondered carefully, then raised his head and said: "This situation is not too bad, they gathered their forces to go to the Xiaoyao Inn, and then came here directly from the Xiaoyao Inn, it took about half an hour longer than us coming directly, we are now equivalent to a time difference of about half an hour, I hope we can catch up." ”

"Maybe they just went to the Getaway Inn, but they didn't know we were coming to this dock." Li Sanliang said softly.

Lei Laohu glared at Li Sanliang, Yun Qing looked at this Li Sanliang and shook his head and said: "Since even you can ask from the shopkeeper that we are at this dock, then Jing Zhe and they only need to move out of the Cao Gang's identity, naturally they will all know all at once." ”

"Shepherd Gang Master, Cloud Commander, since you arrived a few sticks of incense a few times earlier than us, why didn't you board the ship yet?" Lei Laohu asked.

"We originally planned to leave tomorrow morning, but I suddenly had a strong sense of foreboding at the Leisure Inn, so I left the courtyard of the inn early and came here. Originally, we had already booked the boat, but we set off tomorrow morning, so the ship has not docked at the dock until now. Yun Qing said helplessly, this thing is not like other things, as long as you do it well, you will definitely be able to achieve it, and it depends more on the cooperation of others.

When will the ship dock, now the initiative is completely out of Yun Qing's control, they have been waiting for two incense sticks, and Yun Qing is also helpless.

Lei Laohu glanced at Yun Qing with a strange expression, and then at Mu Hong, Yun Qing looked at Lei Laohu's eyes and asked, "Boss Lei, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, you don't need to hide it." ”

Lei Laohu hurriedly bowed slightly and said: "Commander Yun can call me Lei Laohu, calling Lei Boss is really tormenting the boy me, I take the liberty of asking, is the silver tael you carry on your body enough?" ”

Although Yun Qing wondered why Lei Laohu asked this, he still replied: "Although it's not much, it's still a little bit more than a thousand taels, what's wrong?" ”

Then it dawned on Lei Laohu's eyes that money can make ghosts, and naturally these ships at the dock can take them away now, Yun Qing slapped his head and made a loud "pop", which made Lei Laohu and Li San feel embarrassed.

"Commander Yun, I've been messing around on the dock since I usually go, or let me come, you give me the right to use five hundred taels of silver, and I'll find a boat to take us away!" Lei Laohu said confidently.

Yun Qing happily agreed, if they don't charter a boat, they will go from Xicheng to Yangzhou, each person only needs to hand over five hundred yuan, if it is a chartered boat, this is two hundred taels of silver, but this is all made in advance, like now temporarily looking for someone to be lucky immediately, it is also common sense to be a little more expensive, not to mention this kind of emergency and crisis now.

Under Yun Qing's signal, two Taibai secret guards came to the middle of the dock with a wooden box, Lei Laohu stood on the wooden box, and became the focus of the field for a while, Lei Laohu put his hands to his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Ship boss, there are more than 70 people on my side, and now I need to charter a merchant ship, and immediately set off from Xicheng to Yangzhou, with a price of five hundred taels of silver, who can leave now, and the ship is in good condition, come to me!" ”

As soon as Lei Laohu's words were finished, the dock was boiling in an instant, according to the distance between Xicheng and Yangzhou, the chartered ship is generally only about two hundred taels of silver to three hundred taels of silver, and now there are more than two hundred taels of silver out of thin air, which is equivalent to making money for two trips in one trip, and the captains of these running boats are naturally very willing.

Except for some boat bosses who have already negotiated with others, or go to farther places with more prices, and can basically run, they all came over in the end, and Lei Laohu really lived up to his surname, and did things really vigorously, and finally selected five boats, and after observing them one by one, he chose one of the boat bosses named Zhou Xiaofu.

His ship looked the largest and newest, the sails were not damaged or anything, and in Lei Laohu's observation, such a ship ran smoothly, and the sails were fast when they were pulled up, and the key thing was that this kind of ship was the most resistant to collisions. Lei Laohu had already expected that if Jing Zhe and his people caught up with him later, they could only use a small boat to speed over, and at this time, the big ship would not be afraid of the kind of striking sword boat with a very sharp bow and a large iron spear head wrapped in the bow.

This kind of boat is still more common in the Cao Gang, and it is generally used to sink the opponent's big boat when chasing others, and when chasing and killing Mu Feichen before, it was the big boat that was hit by this kind of small boat, and finally forced the boat to enter the water, and the speed slowed down, so that they were given the opportunity to board the ship to fight.

In less than a stick of incense, Liu Baiqing, Yun Qing and sixty-two people together, as well as Mu Hong, as well as Li Sanliang, Lei Laohu and other nine people got on the boat together and quickly left the dock. At this moment, Yun Qing and Liu Baiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and finally left Xicheng, the base camp of the Cao Gang.

Next, even if Jing Zhe and the Liao people catch up, it will be a few hundred people at most, and fighting on a boat in the river is different from the land, the river cannot be charged by a large force, at most the ship will collide with the ship, but in the turbulent Yangtze River, the ships on both sides will lose when they collide, and no matter how good the water is, they may drown in the water in the end.

Therefore, until the last moment of despair, there is generally no such decision, and it is more of the kind of ship that sticks to the ship, and forcibly "tied" the two ships together with iron cables and hooks for the final boarding and knife battle.

And now the nominal supreme power of the Cao Gang, the gang leader Jing Zhe, after receiving the news of Liu Junmao and Wang Haiqi, immediately asked his henchmen to order three hundred elite people, bring all their weapons, and go to the Xiaoyao Inn, and when they arrived at the inn, they naturally flew into the air.

However, these three hundred people stopped at the door of the Xiaoyao Inn, and scared the shopkeeper a lot, and they didn't need Jing Zhe to ask too much, so they told all the things about Yunqing in 1510, and even the two people Li Sanliang and Lei Laohu came to find Yunqing later!

"Li Sanliang!? It's him again! When did we have such a number one person under the Cao Gang? Jing Zhe said hatefully.

I heard about Li Sanliang from Liu Junmao and Wang Haiqi before, saying that he was the first to discover Mu Hong's existence, and now he heard the news of Li Sanliang, and he even knew Yun Qing, that is, Liu Junmao and Wang Haiqi were extremely jealous of each other.

When the shopkeeper informed Yun Qing that they were going to the commercial wharf in the north of the city, Jing Zhe led three hundred men and horses to rush to the wharf, and at this time, Yun Qing and the others had just boarded Zhou Xiaofu's ship and sailed away from Xicheng to Yangzhou. The difference between the two is about half an hour.

Liu Junmao and Wang Haiqi had already made a decision in front of them, and they withdrew from the matter, leaving one person to check the results and news of the matter, so what happened in the Xiaoyao Inn here was also transmitted back to Liu Junmao and Wang Haiqi as it was.

The two of them combined the actual situation and planned, and judged that Yun Qing's strength and number in Xicheng were not very strong, otherwise they would not choose to flee from Xicheng, so the situation they had been worried about before would not happen, Yun Qing's organization did not arrange many people in Xicheng, so they immediately took nearly two hundred Liao people to the north of the city dock together.

Such a small number of people, in their eyes, are all glittering gold and merits, and there is no great danger, so they naturally dare to do it. There are 200 people under his command, as long as they don't die more than 100 people, they all think it's worth it.

However, when Jing Zhe arrived at the wharf in the north of the city, Yun Qing and the others had already left for a while, and Jing Zhe naturally pounced, but as the leader of the Cao Gang, he had the absolute right to speak in Xicheng, especially the people on the wharf who relied on Cao Yun to make a living, so they would naturally obey the words of the Cao Gang, and the matter of Lei Laohu's bid of five hundred taels of silver to charter the boat just now was too high-profile, and basically everyone at the wharf knew about it.

So under Jing Zhe's questioning, the news of Yun Qing and others was asked clearly, and these people were still envious of Zhou Xiaofu for pulling a good business, but now...... Everyone is gloating in their hearts, it seems that the five hundred taels of silver are not so easy to earn, if they are unlucky, and even be remembered by the Cao Gang, then Zhou Xiaofu's shipping road is estimated to be over.
