Chapter 35 Smell the Wind

After Xu Yunxi and the others came back, everyone discussed and decided that Sheng Lingyun and Xu Yunxi would go directly to Zizhen to check the Shocking Wind Gate, and the remaining three would return to Yanyu Villa, where Xiao Ziyan and Qiao Yiling would wait for an opportunity to check whether Jiang Xiaotian had any other secret forces, and Yan Lan would let him go, waiting to be invited back to the Flame Knife Gate.

It has been some time since Jin Lian attacked the village, and the various sects have gradually resumed business, and the Shocking Wind Gate is no exception, but they have not won a single resource after the disintegration of the immortal capital, and they are still following their old path.

It was the peak season for business, and everywhere was vigorously recruiting workers to carry goods, Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun came to Zizhen, so they pretended to be young men in cloth clothes, looking for work in the workshop of the Storm Gate, so that they could find out if there was anything strange about what they were transporting without having to confront Yangshu head-on.

The frightening gate has always been to transport sea salt by water, but it has been sent to Yuyuan, where it is the key point of the border plug, the border of neighboring countries, there are heavy guards, and the king of Ming is leading the troops near that area, so although the frightening business has not been bigger, but it has been very stable, because only they have obtained the court documents to go in and out of the mountain pass.

In the blink of an eye, another ship was loaded, Yang Shu's eldest disciple came to count the goods, and Sheng Lingyun and Xu Yunxi hid in the corner to avoid being recognized by him.

"Come, Uncle Wu, you drive this ship to the Gorge Gate tonight, remember to have a few more people go there to arrange the goods, and you will leave tomorrow, but you can't be sloppy." After he finished his order, he went back without delay, Xu Yunxi wondered in his heart, shouldn't all the cargo ships go out from here, why are there still goods on the other side of the Gorge, are there other doors that have not been reported to Yanyu Villa?

Uncle Wu ordered a few familiar people as usual, and Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun didn't dare to bribe Uncle Wu so easily, after all, he was an old man from the Storm Gate, so he naturally didn't eat hard and soft, and he was loyal.

The two waited until the night when they heard the movement outside, and then they fainted the workers who were resting together in the room, and then groped their way to peek through the door.

Uncle Wu led them out, and then arranged for people to guard the workshop outside the door, obviously not allowing outsiders to follow, and guarded two people in front of the doors of each room.

After the people walked away, Xu Yunxi pretended to have a stomachache and went out to find a toilet, but was stopped by the guard in front of the door.

"Where are you going sneaky?"

"Ouch, big brother, I can't stand the stomach ache." Xu Yunxi pretended to be pretending and grinned with his teeth.

One of the guards looked impatient at his appearance, "Hurry up! ”

"Good, good!" As soon as Xu Yunxi slipped away, the man disappeared.

When he arrived at a place where the crowd was sparse, Xu Yunxi aimed at a lone patrol guard, and hunched his waist forward, "Ouch, big brother, where is the thatched house?"

Seeing his pained face, the guard kindly pointed out: "Just turn around from here......" Before he finished speaking, he was stunned by Xu Yunxi.

Xu Yunxi pulled him to a hidden place, undressed him and changed him, and then paraded around pretending to be him.

The two guards in front of Xu Yunxi's house saw that he hadn't come back for a long time, and they were suspicious, so one of them went to look for him, Xu Yunxi saw him running in a hurry, and followed him not far behind, and when he turned the grass and walked towards the thatched house, Xu Yunxi knocked him out close and lay there.

Then Xu Yunxi began to run back, running all the way and shouting: "Oh no, no!" Someone was knocked unconscious! Everyone heard the movement and went in the direction of the sound, and the guards guarding in front of Xu Yunxi's door also secretly said that it was not good, and followed the crowd to see, Xu Yunxi showed them the way in front, so he took advantage of the chaos to go back, and then directly pulled a guard when he walked back to the door, "Wait a minute, you and I are guarding here." ”

The guard stopped, and when most of the crowd walked over, Xu Yunxi pushed open the door and said that he wanted to go in to check, but the guard felt strange but still followed in, only to enter the door and was knocked unconscious, Sheng Lingyun changed into his clothes.

The two quickly withdrew, and then ran to the gate and shouted, "Oh no, someone has run away!"

The guard at the door had already heard the movement inside just now, and he didn't want to have an accident now, so the leading guard ordered a few people to stay and guard, and then led people to look around. Sheng Lingyun and Xu Yunxi also followed separately to find it, and retreated without taking two steps, "Leader, let's hurry up and inform Uncle Wu!" ”

The rest of the guards didn't suspect him, and thought that the matter was urgent, so they immediately let the two of them out.

After the two came out, they went straight to the gorge gate, and when they arrived at the gorge gate, the two of them first hid in the distance to observe, and a brightly lit new ship was guarded by the disciples, and Yang Shu was also there, directing them to move the goods, and from time to time unloading a box from the ship, opening a little amount, it turned out to be a box of silver.

The two people hiding in the shadows were shocked, it seemed that they were indeed trading with the silver-faced people, so why did they have to reload and unload the goods loaded today?

The two of them watched as today's goods were carried down one by one and walked into the new ship, and they had to find a way to blend in to know what was going on inside.

But at this time, there is obviously no way, just wait until the loading and unloading is completed!

The two of them guarded for a long time, only to see the leader of the door guarding the door just now running hurriedly with a few little disciples, and reported that two people had run away. Poplar was furious, raised his hand and covered it from the top of his head, and scolded the waste. Then he ordered everyone to suspend the work at hand, withdraw the manpower, and sail the boat back to its original place in two days before making plans.

Poplar This is a disguise, this batch of goods must go tomorrow, but the two who escaped must be coming to the gorge, and may want to mix in the boat, although I don't know what their purpose is, but in order to prevent accidents, the two of them must be lured out first.

Sheng Lingyun and Xu Yunxi stood still, there must be something important on the new ship, and Yang Shu's sudden withdrawal was obviously to ambush them, waiting for them to get on the ship. But it's not a way to go on like this, so how can we uncover the mystery?

"Report to the officer!" Xu Yunxi suddenly whispered to Sheng Lingyun: "Let's go, let's go report to the official!"

Sheng Lingyun was taken aback, "That's not good!" ”

"I can't care so much, otherwise when the boat leaves tomorrow morning, I don't know which year I will have a chance." Xu Yunxi pulled Sheng Lingyun and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, "No, it's not good for him to hide the boat for a while, so you stay here, and I'll report to the official." ”

"Wait, don't forget, the goods on their ship tomorrow morning will also be inspected by the government." Sheng Lingyun grabbed Xu Yunxi and reminded him.

Xu Yunxi retreated back to the same place, frowning, "It's too bad now, it's not good to break in, what should I do?" ”

"Don't worry, we'll go to the government tomorrow to inspect the goods, it's really not good, we can start with silver." With such a pile of silver, it is impossible for an ordinary bank to allocate so much, there must be something strange.

Xu Yunxi agreed to Sheng Lingyun's proposal, and the two of them spent time with Yang Shu like this. The boat started slowly, Uncle Wu took a few people today on the new boat, and Yang Shu instructed his disciples to carry the boxes back to the Storm Gate Mansion.

"There will definitely be loading tonight, their trip is tomorrow, we can't delay, let's follow the poplar first." Sheng Lingyun gently motioned for Xu Yunxi to step back, and Yang Shu looked around seriously before letting everyone continue to walk forward.

Sure enough, there was still no movement halfway through, and suddenly there was a fireworks signal in the sky, it was Uncle Wu who sent a message to Yang Shu, and then Yang Shu instructed the eldest disciple to escort Yinzi back, and he took a shortcut in one direction.

"This time the goods must be extraordinary." Xu Yunxi said and walked with Sheng Lingyun to follow the path of the poplar tree.

Finally, the poplar stopped at Sanshuikou, except for the one that was loaded in the workshop today, the rest of the ships were all new ships just now, and each ship was unloading, and the goods unloaded on the old ship were also loading each new ship.

"What a trick!" Xu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh, Uncle Wu had disappeared, so he naturally stayed in the boat, and the poplar tree also walked in the east and looked in the west, not staying in a boat.

"You see, there are not only their people here, they are just borrowing more people to cover up, although we can mix in here, but as soon as we enter their ship, it will be exposed." Sheng Lingyun pointed to the people who came and went back and forth, and said, "I'm afraid we are going to return in vain today." ”

Xu Yunxi pursed the corners of his lips and thought, and after a long while, he said, "There are not enough people in the frightening wind, and Yang Shu will definitely not follow to deliver the goods, and Uncle Wu doesn't know us, otherwise, let's be a boatman!" ”

The two hit it off, there is no way to get close now, but Uncle Wu will definitely drive the boat back to the mouth of the gorge, the two waited until midnight, and finally re-equipped the goods, and then Uncle Wu came out to greet the poplar, and the two escorted the boat back.

On the second day, Yang Shu went to order the boatmen first, and after the order, the government came to check the pass, Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun took advantage of this time to buy off the two boatmen and put on their extra clothes.

They couldn't get on the ship yet, so they waited quietly in a group of boatmen, and the government got on their ship and opened all the boxes. After last night's operation, half of the extra boxes came out, and there were bags of salt on them, and the poplar stood aside with a smiling face, looking calm.

"Mr. Yang's business is getting better and better, and he is taking a lot more goods than before." Li Zhutou walked to the poplar tree.

"There's no way, everyone has to support their families, so let's walk more while we can still walk." Poplar also followed suit and pretended to be polite.

At this time, a small official stepped forward and asked Li Zhutou, "Big brother, do you need to check the bottom?"

Yang Shu's face changed at this time, but he still maintained a kind smile, "Li Zhutou, you see, we are still waiting for the goods, if we check one box at a time, I am afraid that the day will pass again, the brothers are tired, they have been busy all night last night, how can they still have the strength." Besides, I didn't take one or two trips, can't you trust the old man?"

Li Zhutou naturally felt that it was not necessary, but Yang Shu's goods suddenly doubled these two times, and according to the news, the Storm Gate did not get the bowl of Xiandu, so how could the business get better? And it was already up to him last time, but he suddenly talked more today, and he was a little suspicious, so Li Zhutou also said: "Master Yang, you can just pick a box and check it, and everyone can have an explanation."

Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun exchanged a look, it was really God's help, but when he was happy, Yang Shu stretched out something from his sleeve, "Can Li Zhutou be tolerant, this batch of goods is indeed a little urgent." ”

Li Zhutou's lips moved slightly, and he turned his head to call the officials, "Let's call it a day, don't delay the time of Head Yang." Then they all disembarked, and Poplar went down with him.

Uncle Wu waved on the boat for the boatmen to get on the boat, and Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun bowed their heads and walked past the poplar tree and went to the bottom of the boat with the boatmen.

"It's strange, who has such a big face, and he doesn't even have to inspect the goods." Xu Yunxi walked up to Sheng Lingyun and muttered.

"It seems that the Dark Pavilion can also go away on the official road, so we have to be careful." Sheng Lingyun responded in a low voice, and then the two of them dispersed to the two ends to operate with the boatmen.

The boat left the shore and slowly moved on the water, Uncle Wu led the people of the Storm Gate to guard the cargo on the boat, while Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun looked for an opportunity to investigate under the boat.

The people in charge of the ship changed one after another, but Uncle Wu and the others also took turns to rest, always ensuring that someone watched the goods.

"Where ordinary goods need such a big stance, there must be ghosts." Xu Yunxi had a time to rest, and came to Sheng Lingyun's side and said angrily, this is the third time he has gone to the corridor to sneak a look, who knew that they were so impermeable.
