The next day, until night fell, Yang Qin did not appear, so Han Qian and his father boarded a boat from the fishing town and left Jiangzhou.

Zhao Wuji, Lin Jingzong, Guo Nuer and other five groups of people, even if their whereabouts have been exposed, they will directly disperse and lurk in Jiangzhou, which will be quite dangerous. Han Qian directly bought two paddle boats in the fishing town, tied them to the sailboats, and carried twenty-five extra men and horses to the west together.

didn't wait for Yang Qin, and Han Qian couldn't hand over Yang Qin's wife and children to the Jiangzhou Mansion, let alone let him go directly, so he was naturally escorted to the boat and taken away.

"Untie the ropes!" Han Qian couldn't delay any longer, so that Ji Kun had more time to prepare in Ezhou and Yuezhou, watching the first quarter moon on the treetops of the distant mountains sprinkle a clear glow, and ordered the small fleet of three ships to set sail.

Not knowing that Ji Kun was hiding in that corner and staring at this side, Han Qian asked Ji Fu to adjust the angle of the sail and control the speed of the sailboat.

As the night deepened, the fleet had left Jiangzhou City for more than forty miles to the west, and at this time, a galleys slowly caught up from behind.

The galleys have both rows of oars and masts, and this kind of long-range ships that can be sailed with borrowed sails and can be quickly advanced and retreated with rows of oars at short range are far more convenient and fast than pure sailboats or oars and rocking boats, but because they are occupied by a lot of space for rowing, they need more boatmen to operate on board, and they are usually only used as warships.

Two galleys were attached to the flanks of the sailboat, and the scouts of the Left Division raised their shields.

Han Qian let Ji Fu drop the sail, directly parked the boat behind Jiang Xin and the other oars to catch up, stood at the stern of the boat with his father, and said with a smile: "Yang Qin is really suspicious, but he is so careful and vigilant, but he still asked Ji Kun to take the old nest ......"

Han Daoxun still thought that Yang Qin and the others were guilty, but they would never be slaughtered all over the village, and looked at the oarboat that was slowly forcing over in silence, without saying a word.

"Dare to ask Lord Han to return Yang Qin's wife!"

The galleys came over, and in addition to the oarsmen, more than a dozen sturdy men with swords and shields crowded into the bow of the boat, as if they did not agree with each other, and planned to rush up.

The leader was armed with a knife and a shield, and there was a scar on his face that ran across the bridge of his nose and behind the left ear of his face, but this scar did not make the man look particularly hideous and ugly, but added a little more heroic.

"Yang Qin, you gathered a crowd to assassinate the ministers of the court, and you didn't want to beg us to forgive your sins, so you ran up and shouted, do you really think that this big river was opened by your family?" Han Qian asked Qingyun and Zhao Ting'er to bring Yang Qin's children to the stern of the boat, stepped on the edge of the boat, leaned forward, propped their elbows on their knees, and asked with a smile, "What are you trying to do with this posture, do you want to rush over?" Come on, you have to dare to kill it, grandpa, I have your surname today; If you don't dare to kill it, it's my grandson! ”

Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo held shields in front of Han Daoxun and Han Qian, they saw Yang Qin's faces full of grief and anger, worried that the war would be aroused at any time, but they were speechless when they heard Han Qian shouting at Yang Qin like a little hooligan scolding the street.

"We want to avenge the lives and blood feuds of the seven hundred and twelve people in Yangtan Water Village, and we will not be affected by the two children!" Yang Qin roared angrily, struck the iron shield in his hand with the back of his knife, and with a loud bang, he pressed over Jiang Tao and slapped the shore.

"You idiot, did you chase after you to get your wife back, or did you seek revenge, didn't you think clearly when you caught up?" Han Qian said with a smile, "Also, when we attacked the village, we only killed forty-seven people, only those who should be killed, and did not kill one more innocent." Don't say that there are 712 lives, but you have wronged us by reckoning the debts of these forty-seven people on our heads. We are officials, you are thieves, thieves, officials catch thieves and thieves, it is a matter of course, is it possible that when you take knives and guns to rob homes and houses, you don't have a little consciousness that will be planted one day? Could it be that you expect us to tie up our hands and feet and let you come over to be slashed and killed, or did you not even think about the crime of assassinating the imperial court assassin when you colluded with Ji Kun's dog thief? ”

"What do you have to do to let my wife and children go!" Yang Qin asked angrily.

"Speaking of which, Brother Yang, you have to see how polite we are to Mrs. Sister-in-law, there is no place for contempt, and we also take good care of the little young master and little miss, and we have raised them for nothing, and we have never let them suffer the slightest grievance, if Han Qian has the slightest neglect, please also ask Brother Yang to bring it up, and Han Qian will improve it a little,"

Han Qian motioned to Zhao Ting'er to bring Yang Qin's wife out, and said in a chattering voice, as if he was talking to Yang Qin.

"We are going to Xuzhou, there are 14,500 miles of waterways, Brother Yang, you see that I am also a person who is not deeply involved in the world, and I don't know how sinister the rivers and lakes are, so I am afraid that before I go to Xuzhou, I will encounter some water Kou River bandits who run out to kill people and cross goods. We are all cheap, and we are the sons of a dog official and a dog official, so it is not a pity to die, but if we are involved and hurt the little master and young lady, it is really not good. If Brother Yang can help us arrive in Xuzhou safely, then we will return Mrs. Sister-in-law, Little Master, and Little Miss, okay? ”

Han Qian initially wanted to lure Yang Qin into a plot to make him and Ji Kun kill each other and completely destroy the deployment of the Anning Palace against his father and son, but Ji Kun's ruthlessness was beyond his expectations, so he could only change his plan and force Yang Qin to cooperate with them by threatening Yang Qin's wife and concubine.

Han Qian's biggest drawback is that they released the scouts half a month in advance, and it is completely impossible to figure out the intricate Jiang bandit forces between Jiang and Hubei, let alone monitor the movements of these Jiang bandit forces, but with Yang Qin's help, it is completely different.

Ezhou, as the northern region of Yunmengze for thousands of years, the lakes and grasslands on both sides of the river are even more complicated than Jiangzhou, Yuezhou, and Tanzhou, and without the help of people who are familiar with the water situation, Han Qian would rather go back to Poyang Lake, and land from Hongzhou to cross the Luoxiao Mountains to Xuzhou.

"Who do you say is the dog officer?" Han Daoxun couldn't help but protest when he heard Han Qian talking nonsense there.

"That's what they said, if they can't say it's just, why take it too seriously?" Han Qian spread his hands and said.

Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo stayed beside Han Daoxun and Han Qian, listening to their father and son whispering there, they were speechless, but when they saw Han Qian messing around there, the fierce flame in the eyes of the gang of water cowards opposite weakened.

"How can I trust you?" Yang Qinhu asked with a staring eye.

"It's a big deal to send Mrs. Sister-in-law over to Brother Yang first," Han Qian said generously, "I can also save a few meals here, Mrs. Sister-in-law is quite able to eat!" ”

"No, I will stay to take care of Niu'er and Rui'er, if the Han family's father and son don't believe their words, the husband should stop thinking about us, just remember to avenge our blood hatred." Zhou Rong was reluctant to leave her children, and said to Yang Qin.

"If we learn that someone wants to be unfavorable to Lord Han, what should we do? Han Gongzi wouldn't expect the remnants of Yangtan Water Village to have these few brothers, and he would have to fight hard, right? Yang Qin asked.

"I'll give you a chance to be loyal to the third prince, you are still talking nonsense, do you really think that you can easily run a few times and pass on the message, you can resist your great crime of destroying the nine clans?" Han Qian suddenly straightened his face and scolded, "I am in Jinling, and I heard that Yang Qin, the scar Jiao, is a first-class good man in Poyang Lake, but if you can't understand the situation until now, and you still have to bargain with us, you can go, your wife and child, I will hand it over to the government to deal with it according to the laws of the Great Chu Constitution." ”

Han Qian said that if he turned his face, he would turn his face, and Yang Qin couldn't adapt to his rhythm.

It's just that since he was willing to escort Han Daoxun to Xuzhou in exchange for the safety of his wife and children, he has lost the initiative, and at this time he can only stand at the bow of the boat, with a gloomy face and a silent voice, and it is impossible to really pat his ass and leave.

"I won't make it difficult for others, and as long as you really help my father and son go to Xuzhou smoothly, I won't let you die in vain, but if you want to do something, it is impossible to sacrifice and shed blood," Han Qian straightened his face and continued, "When you really need to use your sword to break through the obstacles before you can continue to go to Xuzhou, I will go ashore and act with you." In addition, I will immediately send someone back to Jinling to help you ask the three princes for an amnesty, and when we arrive in Xuzhou, this amnesty should also be in your hands, and you don't have to worry that Ji Kun can also use the power of the state and county to hunt you down. ”

Hearing Han Qian say this, Yang Qin's face softened slightly, and he looked at Han Daoxun: "Lord Han, what Han Gongzi said, but what he said is true, and he didn't deceive Yang Qin at all?" ”

Han Daoxun's eyes were also very sharp, and he also noticed at this moment that Yang Qin's subordinates were most concerned about Han Qian's last words.

Yangtan Water Village has been slaughtered by Zhong Yanhu, these people have become duckweed without roots, and at the same time committed the crime of assassinating the ministers of the imperial court, and other river bandits and lake bandits will not be willing to take them in to attract the special attention of the government.

This also means that if they do not get amnesty, unless they flee to Liang and Jin, it will be difficult to find their safe place in Dachu.

"Jiangzhou sent a letter of sea arrest, saying that you intended to assassinate me, but as long as you do escort me to Xuzhou to take up my post, can your case still be established?" Han Do-hoon asked rhetorically.

"Yangtan Water Village was slaughtered, and Lord Han was asked to uphold justice." Yang Qin said.

"You don't want to take an inch, do you still ask us to arrest Zhong Yanhu and let you vent your hatred?" Han Qian intercepted Yang Qin's words and said dissatisfied.

…………

Yang Qin promised to take his wife and children as hostages, accompany them all the way, and assist in spying on the bandits, so he left the galleys that were easy to expose the target to Han Qian and them, and he took people ashore and dispersed.

There was one more pulp sailing boat, so Han Qian abandoned the two oarboats that were slowing down, and moved Lin Jingzong, Guo Nuer, Ji Xiyao and others to the pulp sailing boat, and the two sailing boats escorted his father to continue to Xuzhou by water.

Han Qian then took Zhao Wuji, Tian Cheng, and Gao Shao off the ship and landed, and took the land route to watch Yang Qin and the others' every move.

Even if Yang Qin was afraid that his wife and child were in their control, Han Qian was not sure that those under his command were still loyal to Yang Qin after losing everything, and they had no other thoughts, or no resentment towards their side.

The news in the rivers and lakes is connected, perhaps because Zhong Yanhu's suppression of Yangtan Water Village was too brutal, which greatly deterred the Jiang bandits and water robbers in Jiangsu and Hubei and did not dare to act rashly, or Ji Kun's means of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain made Zhu Kou's heart cold, from Jiangzhou to Yuezhou 600 miles of waterway, except for the two water bandits in other places, the powerful water robbers in Jiang and Hubei did not act rashly.

Although I don't know what means Ji Kun used to recruit them, the two non-local water cowards have no foothold in Jiangsu and Hubei, and no one in the local area is willing to cooperate with them.

Even if these water thieves are hidden in the boat, no matter how camouflaged the thief ships used in water warfare are, they are still very different from ordinary fishing boats and merchant ships.

With Yang Qin's help, Han Qian naturally easily locked the whereabouts of these two Jiang bandits.
