It was late at night.

A crescent moon hangs in the night sky southwest of the boat.

The high mountains on both sides of the river are shrouded in a faint night, misty and blurry.

Luo Shiyin stood alone on the bow of the boat, looking at the river, and his heart was heavy. His heart at this time is like a blurred mountain shadow on both sides of the strait, the more you want to see its outline, but the more illusory it is.

For this treasure hunt, at the beginning stage, it was thinking about everything with a public heart that shared worries for the king.

But now, when this huge treasure has arrived, he is a little hesitant and even afraid.

As the saying goes, there are no impermeable walls. The Joseon court may not know about this soon.

Once things get to this point, how will the Korean court react?

Although North Korea currently has a request from the Ming Dynasty, they may not be compromised in the face of their own suzerain's efforts to seize their own treasures.

Once the two countries tear their faces over this matter, it may be difficult for the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain, to give a reasonable explanation. I am afraid that the rhetoric of seizing the treasure and resisting the Japanese will hardly convince the North Korean side.

If it really came to that point, Luo Shiyin concluded that it would be difficult for him to get out of it.

In addition, there is another question that makes Luo Shiyin difficult to decide, that is, how to safely transport this huge treasure to Daming?

Judging from the current situation, it should not be a problem to safely hide this treasure on a deserted island at the mouth of the Imjin River according to Fangshan's plan. The problem is that what follows will be more troublesome. If you want to cross the vast sea and transport the treasure back to the country, it is necessary to use the ships of the imperial court, which will inevitably alarm the upper and lower levels of the imperial court, and if any of these links fail, the matter will be leaked out, which will bring trouble.

Of course, there is a safer way to deal with this matter, and that is to report it directly to the Holy One.

But after receiving the secret report, will the Holy Lord approve of his actions? Once the saint is not satisfied with what he has done, then it will be a big trouble!

Since getting this financial report, Luo Shiyin has always been preoccupied, and what he didn't expect is that this huge treasure that he was striving for at the beginning now feels like a hot potato.

Hey—leave him alone. Now that it's done, don't think too much about it. But ask for a clear conscience in all things.

Luo Shiyin, who was standing at the bow of the boat, breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and walked towards the cabin. The days of hard work had made him a little sleepy.

Three days later, the boat carried the group to Gimpo Gorge, a long and narrow stretch of the river that is the most turbulent in the lower reaches of the Imjin River.

After breakfast, everyone stood on the boat in twos and threes to talk and chat.

Suddenly, the ship plunged into a thick fog, and it was dark in front of him. The speed of the river also became violent in an instant. Surrounded by the rushing current, the boat sped forward.

"My lord, the wooden boat has entered the canyon rapids and is completely out of control!"

The two brocade guards who were supporting the boat desperately rowed their oars in opposite directions, trying to slow down the boat, but to no avail, so they had to report to Luo Shiyin.

"Watch the river and try to be as stable as possible!" Luo Shiyin ordered the two brocade guards who were paddling.

"The fog is too big to see the channel clearly!" One of the brocade guards replied loudly as he struggled to paddle.

"Can you find a way to get the ship to dock?" Luo Shiyin asked the brocade guard who was holding the boat.

"The current is too fast, and the wooden boats are not controlled at all." A brocade guard who was holding the boat said loudly to Luo Shiyin.

"Can't you throw out a cable and stop the ship with the help of a fixture on the shore?" Shi Lang, who was standing beside Luo Shiyin, asked the two Jinyi guards who were holding the boat.

"The fog around is so thick that you can't see the river bank clearly, let alone throw the cable." One of the brocade guards who was holding the boat said to Shi Lang.

"Sit tight, everyone!" Luo Shiyin saw that the boat was completely out of control, and hurriedly reminded everyone.

"Your Excellency, you might as well take shelter in the cabin. It's too dangerous. Ye Ruliu was worried about Luo Shiyin's safety, so he said loudly to Luo Shiyin.

"No, you don't." Luo Shiyin said to Ye Ruliu.

"Your Excellency, you'd better go into the cabin!" Shi Lang also said loudly to Luo Shiyin.

"You don't have to worry about me, let's think about how to get out of the current danger." Luo Shiyin said loudly to everyone.

"My lord, at the end of this canyon rapid, there are often dark rocky shoals. We have to find a way to slow down the ship. Fang Shank said to Luo Shiyin.

"There's nothing you can do to slow it down!" Before Luo Shiyin could speak, Shi Tianji said anxiously.

"If you want to slow down or stop the boat, at present, you can only take the method that Master Fang Cai Shi said, find the fixation on the shore, and tie the cable to it, so that you can pull the boat to the shore and wait for the fog to dissipate before sailing." Bau suggested.

"But the current is so fast, we can't swim to the shore and tie the cable!" Ye Ruliu said.

"Miss Ye is right, although there are many water masters under my command, it is difficult for them to swim to the shore in such a turbulent river. Besides, in this rare dense fog, we can only see objects within three meters, and we can't see how far the ship is from the shore. Fang said with a handle.

"Let's think about it." Luo Shiyin said. 100 Literature

At this moment, Jump, who had been squatting at the stern of the boat and closing his eyes to recuperate, suddenly stood up and walked to the board.

"Hop, Danger!"

Seeing that Jumpy was about to jump into the river, Bau immediately flew forward and tried to hold Jump.

But Jump Jump ignored Bau's warning, and before Bau could pounce on it, he had already jumped forward.

"Hop, my good brother!" Seeing Jump Jump into the rushing river, Bau knelt on the plank of the boat and cried out to the river.

Everyone looked at the river, and for a while they couldn't figure out why they jumped into the river. Isn't that tantamount to suicide? Could it be that some terrible catastrophe is coming?

Everyone was puzzled by Jump's unusual behavior.

But before everyone could come to their senses, they saw a black shadow flashing, and in the thick fog, Jump Jump had jumped onto the wooden boat and stood on the plank.

"Hop, my good brother. You're back! Bau rushed over and hugged Hop in his arms.

"Is Hopping telling us something with its actions?" Ye Ruliu said.

"That's right, if you think about it, depending on the bouncing force of the jump, you can jump out of about four meters on the spot at most. Everyone looks at the jumping body again, there is not a trace of water, what does this mean? It shows that the jump did not fall into the water, but fell on an object above the water. It can be inferred that four meters away from the ship should be a rock or tree on the shore or in the water. Xie Yuan was inspired by Ye Ruliu's words and analyzed for everyone.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss......" jumped and broke free from Bau's embrace, came to Xie Yuan, and while nodding at Xie Yuan incessantly, he raised his right front paw and pointed at the vertical direction of the wooden boat's direction, while hissing constantly from his mouth.

"Everyone, hurry up and find the rope!" Luo Shiyin immediately understood the meaning of jumping and ordered loudly.

There is a cable above the plank. The square handle brought the rope to Jumper.

"Brother, it's up to you this time." Bau handed one end of the rope to Jumpy and tied the other end securely to the hull.

"Shang Ji, Wu Huan, wait a while, after Jump Jump jumps up, you two immediately swim over along the rope to help Jump Jump." Seeing that Jump had firmly grasped the rope, Fang Handle hurriedly called his two subordinates and ordered.

"Yes!" Shang Ji and Wu Huan didn't dare to slack off and get ready.

Jumping grabbed the rope, leaped and disappeared into the fog.

As the wooden boat moved quickly, the cable coiled on the board was stretched in an instant, and then, the hull of the ship slammed and stopped on the water.

Shang Ji and Wu Huan jumped into the river, grabbed the cable, and with the help of the cable, quickly swam to the other end of the rope.

In less than a minute, Shang Ji and Wu Huan had already swam to the other end of the cable. What appeared in front of them was a round boulder standing upright on the shore.

Hopping has wrapped the cable around the boulder.

Behind the boulder, I saw that Jump Jump was struggling to pull the cable, and it seemed that he couldn't hold it anymore.

Shang Ji and Wu Huan were almost moved to tears by the jumping action. Shang Ji shouted: "Jump, it's really yours!" Then, take the lead in rushing behind the boulder and help Hop Hop pull the rope tight. Wu Huan didn't dare to slack off, and then rushed over and replaced Jump.

"My lord, we are on shore. Everyone sat down, and we pulled the boat to the shore. Shangji pulled the cable in his hand and shouted loudly to the boat.

"Okay, pull it!" Seeing that everyone was seated, Fang Shante shouted to the shore.

Under the joint pull of Shang Ji and Wu Huan, the wooden boat slowly approached the shore.

Behind the boulder is a narrow strip of land close to the cliff face, which is a little slippery, but because it is nearly a meter above the river, the whole area can be used as a refuge for the people on the boat.

Everyone helped each other and landed ashore one after another.

The two rowing guards fastened the cable to the boulder, and the wooden boat anchored securely on the shore.

"This time thanks to Hop Hop. If it hadn't saved us, I'm afraid we would have faced unexpected dangers. Shi Lang said while helping Ye Ruliu to land on the shore.

"That's it, if it weren't for my brother this time, I'm afraid that my more than 100 catties would have fallen into the river to feed Wang Ba." Shi Tianji also followed Shi Lang's words.

"Just your lump of meat, you can't kill all the kings in the river." Xie Yuan began to take Shi Tianji to open the shabu.

"You water snake waist, why are you talking so badly! What's wrong with my lump of meat, it's better than your dry bones. If you fall into the river, I'm afraid that the fish and shrimp in it will not even smell it, do you know why? Shi Tianji said half of his words and deliberately sold a pass.

"Why? Lao Shi. Shi Lang wanted to take the opportunity to liven up the atmosphere, so he followed Shi Tianji's words and asked.

"The sour smell of someone has smoked them all away. Hahaha! After Shi Tianji finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, it seemed that he was very satisfied with his performance in fighting back against Xie Yuan.

"Hahaha......" Everyone was infected by Shi Tianji's emotions and laughed with him.

"Let's sit down and rest, and when the fog clears, let's set off again." Seeing that everyone had laughed enough, Luo Shiyin said loudly.

Everyone found a relatively dry place to sit down and rest.

Shang Ji and Wu Huan went into the cabin, wrung out their clothes, and hung them on a wooden rack in the cabin, and then wrapped the two tattered quilts on the simple cot in the cabin to keep them warm.
