Chongping ten years, the sixth day of September.

The waters are hundreds of miles in the Yunmeng Daze, and there is a small boat that keeps passing through the reeds, and the hull of the boat makes ripples on the narrow waterway, spreading out in all directions.

September is the season when the reed flowers bloom, and as far as the eye can see, the white expanse is a beautiful scenery in the world.

From time to time, a breeze blows, and the white reed flowers fly up in the sky, fluttering with the wind, flying chaotically.

When the wind ran out, the reed flowers slowly fell again, spreading all over the wilderness, as if it was the next goose feather snow, turning the whole world as far as the eye could see was a piece of silver.

Lin Fan bit a reed pole in his mouth, lying on the boat bored, squinting his eyes at the flying reeds, not knowing what he was thinking.

When he was bored, he reached out and took a wisp of reed flowers and put it in front of his eyes to observe. When he lost interest, he flipped his palm over and watched it drift down until it fell into the water.

When the reed flower is stained with water, it no longer has the graceful agility in the air just now, and becomes heavy and sluggish, and can only drift with the current.

Under the action of the water, these reed flowers are condensed together in piles, and they are also contaminated with all kinds of dirt, and the white ones are no longer pure, and the beauty is completely gone.

Retracting his eyes, Lin Fan stretched his waist, sat up, and looked around.

He Fang Zhang Ping was rowing, and Chen Fangshu stood on the bow of the boat to observe the surrounding movements; Wang Hu was a little nervous, and there were words in his mouth, and cold sweat was about to break out. Lin Fan felt amused, drove him to the bow of the boat, let him meditate there, and let Chen Fangshu enlighten him by the way.

At this time, all five of them were dressed as bandits, looking fierce and vicious. For the sake of prestige, Zhang Ping even made an eye patch and blindfolded one eye.

And the reason why they came here is also related to Gao Wensheng's return from the state city this time.

After Gao Wensheng came back, he immediately convened the county's officials to discuss the matter of clearing up Yunmengze's water bandits, and Lin Fan was naturally no exception, and he was also called.

According to what Gao Wensheng said, several adults in the state capital were also shocked when they saw this letter, and they attached great importance to this matter.

This was not unexpected by Lin Fan, there was such a big hidden danger under his nose, but he didn't know it at all, and it was difficult to sleep on anyone.

After all, once these thieves make trouble, the first to bear the brunt of the time is Anzhou, and they don't want to talk about the current glory and wealth at that time, I'm afraid that even if their lives can be saved, they can't afford not to pay attention to it.

In the past, Yunmengze water bandits came and went without a trace, and the government had no way to deal with them, and because they didn't go ashore to attack and disturb, those old men in the government turned a blind eye.

But now that we have this letter, things are different. Wang Yunye, a thief, posted a heroic post and invited bandit forces from all over the world to participate in this Fengtian conference, which was obviously a bad intention.

Things have come to this point, and the government still dares to let it go, so they can only find a way to exterminate it.

Although Wang Yunye's plan is not small, and the plan is quite thorough, they don't know that this news has now been intercepted by the government, so the government has the opportunity to catch all these thieves.

This matter is not only related to the stability of Anzhou, but also related to the future and net worth of several adults, so several adults who have procrastinated in the past have worked very hard this time.

They made a plan to start on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, and gave full authority to Gao Wensheng to be in charge of the local officials, because they were worried that the strength of Yongyang alone might be insufficient, and two battalions were transferred from Anzhou Wei to Gao Wensheng's command.

After everyone's unanimous deliberation at the county government meeting, everyone thought that the hundreds of miles of Yunmengze were too big, the rivers were dense, the tidal flats were full of reeds, the officers and soldiers were not familiar with the terrain, and the officers and soldiers were not familiar with water warfare, so if they attacked strongly, the casualties would be too great.

Even if they can barely win, these water bandits occupy the advantage of the terrain, they can advance and retreat, and if they see that the momentum is not good, they drill into the lake, where will the officers and soldiers go to find it.

Instead of needless attack, it is better to send someone to take this letter, pretend to be an envoy from Shuanglongling to blend in, muddy the water inside, and cooperate with the officials and troops outside. When there was chaos inside, the officials and soldiers took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them, and solve these bandits once and for all.

Everyone, including Lin Fan, had no opinion on this plan, and when it came time to decide who should be in the house, almost everyone looked at Lin Fan.

Seeing that everyone else had put down the turtle with a shrunken head, Lin Fan was a little helpless. He knew that it would be such a result, after all, if it was to deal with these thieves, no one present was more familiar with it than him, and it was definitely not safe to send others without him.

Besides, this is a lot of bad luck, although the credit is not small, but with Gao Wensheng in the credit, how can it be everyone's turn, it can be said that this time it is dangerous and not beneficial, and a fool will be willing to do it.

Therefore, with Lin Fan as a person who is not greedy for merit and is not afraid of death, Gao Wensheng has no reason not to use it, even if Lin Fan is unwilling to come, he has to come!

However, he is only a supporting role this time, because Lin Fan is too young.

It is not uncommon for him to be as young as he is to achieve a high position among the various forces, but it is undoubtedly very rare. And that is really eye-catching, when everyone is in full view, it will not be easy to make some small moves, and it will not be conducive to the implementation of Lin Fan's plan.

The protagonist of this operation is Wang Hu, who will participate in this Fengtian Conference as the envoy of Shuanglongling, and Lin Fan and the four of them are his subordinates, responsible for protecting his safety.

"It's here, everyone be careful!" Chen Fangshu said suddenly.

"Phew!" Lin Fan spit out the reed pole in his mouth, and was engrossed in the surrounding situation, and several other people were also like him, watching the wind and grass around him.

According to the letter Wang Yunye wrote to the You brothers, this is the place where they want to connect with the bandits. It's just that it's quiet, there's nothing out of the ordinary, and there's no one answering.

Suddenly, the sound of an osprey was heard from the reeds. The cry is two long and one short, which is the agreed code on the letter.

Lin Fan and Chen Fangshu both grew up in the land of fish and rice, so they are no strangers to the call of ospreys.

Sure enough, after they responded to the code, some reeds moved around, and two extremely secret waterways appeared, several small boats rowed out of them, and more than a dozen people held swords in their hands, surrounding Lin Fan and them in the middle.

A middle-aged man stood on the bow of the ship, and said to a few people from afar: "I don't know where the hero is coming, and I am not far away!"

These people came out suddenly, and Lin Fan and the others didn't notice the abnormality at all before, which shows that these people are extremely familiar with the waterways here, and they have artificially changed the reeds here.

If they had murderous intent for everyone just now, under the surprise attack, I am afraid that Lin Fan and they would all have to explain here

According to the drill in advance, Wang Hu said with a grin: "In Lei Geng, Shuanglongling, on behalf of me, several masters of Shuanglongling came to participate in the Fengtian Conference held by Chief Wang!"

Then he looked around with unkind eyes, and snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction. "Humph! Could this be your Yunmengze's hospitality? ”

Hearing where Wang Hu and the others were coming, the middle-aged man's face softened a lot, and the boat under his feet began to approach a few people.

This person saluted again and said, "It turned out to be the leader of the thunder, and it was a rude!" In Xiayun Mengze Zhu Tong, I have seen you. I heard the name of the thunder leader for a long time, and I saw it today, which is really a blessing for three lives! ”

Lin Fan lowered his head and stood behind Wang Hu, and when he heard the man's words, he couldn't help but pouted secretly. This Lei Geng was not made up, but there was indeed a person, and it was Lin Fan who impersonated this person's identity for the sake of insurance.

But this person is just a mid-level leader under the command of the You brothers. It is estimated that the Zhu Tong in front of him may not have heard of this name, but as soon as he came up, he said that he had admired the name for a long time, which was absolutely flattering, and it was really hypocritical.

However, it is a person who is sophisticated, and he does not hit a smiling person when he raises his hand, and it is not wrong for him to do this.

Zhu Tong saw that the people who came were a little dissatisfied with their approach, and the smile on his face was even bigger.

Although he didn't look down on a small force like Shuanglongling in his heart, let alone a little-known person like Lei Geng. But now everything has to be done in the prime of the chief's affairs, so he does not want to offend these forces at such a critical juncture.

So he explained to Wang Hu and the others with a smile: "Leader Lei doesn't know, the leader of my family attaches great importance to this Fengtian Conference, and the envoys of all forces have arrived one after another in recent days, in order to prevent some government spies from taking advantage of the chaos to get in, we have to act cautiously."

"So please don't misunderstand Leader Lei, if there is any offense just now, please forgive Leader Lei and all the brothers. When I get to the village, I will set up a banquet and apologize to you! ”

Wang Hu now represents Shuanglongling, is a robber who robs the house, if he is too good at talking, he will arouse suspicion if he does not express the phenomenon just now, it is better to take the initiative to exert pressure, anti-guest-oriented, but can play a role in diverting attention.

So what he said just now was just to make a stand, to let people know that they were not easy to bully and would not let others take care of them, and the goal was achieved, not really to have a stalemate with Yun Mengze, which would be detrimental to their actions after they mixed into the village.

Therefore, after Zhu Tong explained, Wang Hu's face softened and he no longer held on to this question.

He grinned and said, "Then thank you Leader Zhu!"

"Leader Lei is polite, please come with me!" Zhu Tong asked people to turn the bow of the boat and lead the way.

The waterways here are extremely complex, meandering, and the reeds are even more impermeable, which greatly restricts the vision of Lin Fan and others.

These waterways are not only dense, but also very narrow, and many of them barely allow a small boat to pass, which is equivalent to a labyrinth.

In addition, Zhu Tong deliberately led them around and around, making it difficult for Lin Fan and them to even distinguish the direction, let alone remember the path when they came.

No wonder this Zhu Tong always had a smile on his face, and he was not worried about Lin Fan and the others' previous behavior of remembering the road, it turned out that he had already known that this would be the result.

So Lin Fan stopped doing useless work and concentrated on following Zhu Tong in front of him.

About half an hour later, after passing through a narrow waterway, Lin Fan's eyes suddenly opened up, and finally it was no longer an endless reed.

Lin Fan knew that their destination was about to arrive!
