Chapter 91 Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots
Everyone was tired enough, but at this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and the nearby villages had also been alarmed, Han Qian and the others boarded the oars, and they didn't have time to stop and take a breath, they had to evacuate immediately to continue to hide their tracks.
Although Han Qian and the others were not good at paddling, the lake water rose up, and the water level was not deep, so they took a long bamboo penny to prop it into the water, pushing the two oars and canopy boats to glide silently in the morning light, and the fire in the fishing village left behind them spread more and more.
Tian Cheng and Gao Shao are the most popular among the newly recruited scouts, even if they are not team leaders, they don't need them to take turns paddling and supporting the penny, they nested under the canopy, looking at the mother and son who were pierced like zongzi under their feet, and saw Han Qian sitting in the stern of the boat, took off his boots, lifted his robe, stretched out his bare feet into the cool lake water, and looked at the fishing village behind him with a bright fire, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The two boats sailed into a reed swing, Han Qian and the others carried goods and hostages, abandoned the boat and jumped into the shallow water, and then passed through the reeds one foot deep and one foot shallow, and found an abandoned river temple to settle down.
Unable to make a fire to boil hot water, and unable to drink raw river water, Han Qian swallowed wheat cakes and dried meat with difficulty.
At this time, Lin Zongjing brought the woman to Han Qian, Han Qian tore off a small piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, raised his hand, signaled Lin Zongjing to help the woman untie the rags, and asked:
"You can tell me now, who is the surname of your big shopkeeper, and what kind of character does he belong to in the 500 Road Water Kou of Poyang Lake."
Withdrawing to the oars, Han Qian and the others no longer covered their faces with cloth, but they didn't talk much all the way, how could the woman not expect that this group of people would know nothing about her husband Yang Qin and Yang Tan Water Village?
Are they deceiving themselves, or are they really not members of the Privy Council?
"My husband Yang Qin, a fisherman in Yangtan Water Village, is a little famous in the five hundred miles of Poyang Lake, even if the village has been exhausted, but as long as you send my mother and son back to Yangtan Water Village, not to mention anything else, my husband will send you more than 100 cakes of gold, it can still be done." The woman pretended to be calm and sat her lumbar spine upright.
"Your husband, if you want to assassinate the ministers of the court, I will hand you over to the government, and the reward will not be less, and if you are sent back at this time, there may be a charge of colluding with water bandits in the future, this eldest sister, how do you think I should weigh it?" Han Qian sat on the ground and said with a smile, "If you don't tell us how powerful the bandits in Poyang Lake are, maybe we will be scared and don't dare to ask for a penny, and we will send you back, eldest sister!" ”
The time for the preparation of the secret Cao Zuosi is too short, even if the situation in Jinling City and Jingzhao County has not been understood, let alone the details of the in-depth understanding of the water village bandits on the roads of Poyang Lake, the woman in front of her is quite knowledgeable, and she is the leader of the water village bandits all the way, so she must have a much deeper and more detailed understanding of the situation in Poyang Lake than they do.
"Han Daoxun, this dog official, he has a lot of food, he actually dislikes the hungry people near the capital, and wants to drive the displaced hungry people away, presumably you have long been unpleasant, how can you let him go to his post safely and have a chance to fish and meat in the country?" The woman realized that she might be deceived, and suppressed her shock and panic, and said.
"......" Tian Cheng and Gao Shao squatted behind Han Qian, looking at each other a little, they could guess from the appointment of Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son that Han Daoxun's advice to drive away the hungry people was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface, but they didn't expect Han Daoxun's "notoriety" to spread to the Jiang'e area, they really didn't know what the expression on Han Qian's face would be at this time when he was sitting behind them.
"If it weren't for the fact that I saw so many treasures hidden in your house, I would almost have thought that you were righteous men who acted for the heavens," Han Qian broke a grass stalk, chewed it slowly in his mouth, and said with a nonchalant smile, "I originally wanted to put you back eldest sister, but as soon as you say this, it will be difficult for me to do it, if I let you go back, the shopkeeper of your family knows that I am the son of a dog official, and I won't become a fool who throws myself into the net?" ”
Seeing the shocked and stunned look on the woman's face, Han Qian smiled proudly: "Eldest sister has guessed the intention of our hard work to pretend to be the secret room of the staff, and still thinks that we will let you go back?" Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman's right hand, and said with pity, "Such a beautiful little hand, in order to write the words 'Staff' in the corner of the wall, the nails are worn bald, what a pity!" ”
The woman's eyes were so dark that she fainted!
…………
…………
The whole Yangtan Water Village was caught in a raging fire, and in the green morning light at dawn, even if it was forty or fifty miles away, it could be clearly seen.
Yang Qin led eighteen ships, each in a group of three, scattered around the outer part of the dog officer Han Daoxun's boat, so that no matter when the dog officer Han Daoxun boarded the ship and escaped, they could quietly surround the dog officer's boat until they were far away from the view of the Jiangzhou water camp.
It's just that they lurked in the water swing at the mouth of the lake for half the night, and without waiting for the dog officer Han Daoxun to board the boat, Yangtan Water Village was suddenly covered by fire.
Yang Qin's burly figure stood at the stern of the pulp sailboat, no matter how he usually boasted of having the demeanor of a general, he was also anxious at this moment, not knowing what was going on in Shuizhai, how could there be such a big fire?
Did you accidentally go to the water and catch fire at night, or was the water village attacked by someone?
Yang Qin looked in the direction of Laolongzui in confusion and alertness, at this time, the mountain of Laolongzui was covered with a layer of mist and did not disperse, and he couldn't see the figures of Ji Kun and the others clearly.
Knowing that there were not many people in Yangtan Water Village last night, Yang Qin couldn't wait to order the boats to go to Laolongzui to surround it, and grab Ji Kun first, but reason told him that it was important to go back to Water Village first at this time.
If all this was really a trap set by Ji Kun for them, maybe there would be an ambush behind Lao Longzui, and they would just throw themselves into the net.
Seeing the fire burning in the direction of Yangtan Water Village, and the boat of Yangtan Water Village retreating south from the mouth of the lake, Ji Kun regretted it so much that he wanted to smoke his big mouth.
Even if no suspicious characters appeared on the left and right, he didn't dare to stay in Lao Longzui anymore, so he took three subordinates and ran down the mountain quickly to meet the servants guarding the horses at the bottom of the mountain.
Ji Kun did not want to return to Hukou County, but picked a direction at random, galloped towards the barren mountains and mountains in the southeast of Hukou County, and made sure that no one chased after him, so he pulled the horses into a ravine and hid.
"There was a fire in Yangtan Water Village, why did we leave in panic?"
Walking in a hurry all the way, and Ji Kun was also as if he was being targeted by evil ghosts, and he didn't have time to explain anything to his subordinates all the way.
"Han Daoxun parked the boat on the opposite bank, it was really a bait to lure us into appearing, hateful, I was completely unaware, so that we met Yang Qin and completely fell into the eyes of the Dragon Bird Army's spies. The fire in Yangtan Water Village was actually the secret agent of the Dragon Bird Army who took advantage of the situation. I'm in charge of so many things by myself, and it's inevitable that you're not even aware of anything suspicious, damn it. Ji Kun saw that the four subordinates were still puzzled, and he didn't even understand what was going on at this time, so he said angrily.
Ji Kun was so remorseful at this time that he stomped his feet, secretly hating himself for being too careless, and not saying anything about his whereabouts, so that the whereabouts of Yang Qin's group in Yangtan Water Village were also clearly grasped by the spies of the Dragon Bird Army, and he didn't know how many spies of the Dragon Bird Army were hiding near Laolongzui, and he didn't dare to stay in Laolongzui, nor did he dare to go back to Hukou County directly, for fear that he would be assassinated by the hidden agents of the Dragon Bird Army.
Ji Kun ordered a subordinate to climb a big tree on the top of the mountain, staring at the passage on the left and right, in case the spies of the Dragon Bird Army followed the trail and ambushed him, he stood on the tree and took a few deep breaths, calmed his thoughts, sorted out his thoughts, and after a while, took out his waist card and handed it to another subordinate, saying: "You take my waist card, and quickly ferry to the other side to see Zhong Yanhu, the military envoy of Jiangzhou's camp, and say that our company has verified that Yang Qin's water cowards harbor evil intentions, and intends to assassinate Han Daoxun, the assassin who went to Xuzhou, and ask Zhong Yanhu to immediately transfer the water battalion warship to attack Yangtan Water Village!" ”
"It seems that it is better to mobilize our people to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, kill people and eliminate mouths," the subordinate said hesitantly, "Besides, even if you don't kill people and kill people, no one will believe what Shui Kou says." ”
"Idiot," Ji Kun scolded in a depressed voice, "What role can the spies of the Dragon Bird Army do in just sneaking up on Yangtan Water Village, where only the old and weak women and children are left?" Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if the spies of the Dragon Bird Army pretended to be our people to attack Yangtan Water Village and blame us for everything? ”
That subordinate suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, they couldn't destroy Yang Qin, the water coward, and then not only had to be entangled with the secret room of the Dragon Bird Army, but also faced the crazy revenge of Yang Qin, the great coward of Poyang Lake, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to even save his life at that time, let alone keep an eye on Han Daoxun, and completely entrust the important task entrusted by Lord Mingting.
"You take a ferry to Jiangzhou City, mobilize all the manpower of the Bingxiong Group, and fully cooperate with Zhong Yanhu to suppress the bandits, so as not to make Yang Qin a hidden danger in our operation!" Ji Kun gave another order, only to let this subordinate hurry up, he also sat under the tree, frowned and secretly regretted thinking seriously, knowing that he was really negligent, maybe he would lose his life this time!
