For the first time in his life, Yao Guangqi looked at a strange woman so closely, and it was such a beautiful girl, he couldn't help but look a little stunned, and he forgot to answer the other party's question.

The woman was also a little embarrassed by Yao Guangqi, her face turned a little red, but she didn't continue to ask, but said softly: "I thought it was a bad guy who came over, so I started a little hard, I'll accompany you." You're a big man, don't be mad with me in the future. ”

Yao Guangqi reacted that he was a little out of shape, his face instantly turned red, and he whispered embarrassedly: "Girl, I ......" He paused after only saying three words, and his face turned even redder, and he didn't know what he was going to say at all.

The woman was amused by Yao Guangqi's embarrassment: "What girl, my name is Chen Yueru, in the future, you can call me Yueru or Ru'er, and my father will call me Ru'er." ”

Yao Guangqi's face turned even redder: "Okay, Sister Yueru, I'm ......" Yao Guangqi didn't know what to say again.

"What sister" Yao Guangqi was robbed by Yueru again: "I am seventeen this year, how old are you, so you call other people's sisters, and I seem to be very old." ”

Yao Guangqi was even more embarrassed, and his face became more and more red: "I, I'm fifteen." ”

"Then you can call me sister" Yueru seemed to be in a good mood, turned around and left with a smile on her face, but immediately turned around and said: "Hurry up and sleep, and nourish your spirit to help my father." ”

Early the next morning, Yao Guangqi, Zhang Yu and Yuan Heng got off the boat, leaving only Chen Shu's father and daughter on board.

Looking at Zhang Yu and Yuan Heng who got off the boat, Chen Shu looked worried, but when he turned his head, the daughter next to him was standing at the bow of the boat with a smile on her face, looking very confident.

After Yao Guangqi and the three of them got off the ship, for two days, there was no movement in the fleet, everyone in the fleet was as if nothing had happened, the fleet continued to the north, and the trip was not delayed at all, and the daily voyage was more than 100 miles, if it continued to travel at this speed, it would enter Shandong in two days.

On the night of the third day, just after the dawn, Chen Shu heard an unusual sound outside the cabin, the father and daughter turned over, made a little preparation, nodded to each other, and quietly walked out of the cabin together.

Coming out of the back cabin, by the moonlight and the light reflected on the river, I saw that there seemed to be a figure shaking on the back boat, and next to the boat behind, there were several small boats docked, this should be the water bandit that Chen Shu and they had been waiting for, Chen Shu glanced at his daughter, Chen Yueru nodded, Chen Shu took a deep breath and shouted: "What person?" Someone, there's a bandit, someone, catch the bandits. ”

Chen Shu's voice was very loud, but the effect was very average, even shouted a few voices, and did not see the soldiers escorted by each ship appear, and after Chen Shu's shout, the figure of the back boat moved more violently, as if he was hurrying to transport, Chen Shu had to continue to shout, after half an hour, at this time there were already two small boats leaving from the side of the boat, and soldiers appeared on the bow of each boat one after another, and some torches were lit sporadically.

Chen Shu's hands and feet trembled with anger, but he tried his best to keep his senses and shouted to those officers and soldiers: "Hurry up and catch the thieves, catch those water bandits." ”

These soldiers agreed twice, but none of them really caught up, but they just stood on the bow of the boat and symbolically shouted twice: "Bold water bandits" and "catch water thieves", which can be regarded as a response to Chen Shu's order.

Chen Shu suppressed his anger, took two breaths, and shouted to all the rear boats: "Give me the shore, all the shore." ”

Under Chen Shu's repeated orders, the Caoyan fleet finally anchored and docked on the shore, Chen Shu ordered all the shipwrights and escort officers and soldiers to get off the ship, Chen Shu just landed on the shore, and saw two hundred households in the fleet come to the front side by side, one of them said: "My lord, aren't you going to chase that gang of water thieves?" How can the water thieves go ashore, this landing, we can't catch up with the water thieves. ”

Chen Shu sneered: "What? Think I don't know what's going on? Wang Baihu, I want to catch the water thieves, but I want to catch the inner ghosts first, and if I catch the inner ghosts, I am not afraid that I will not be able to catch those water thieves. If you get the official salt, can you make it without an inner ghost? Want to keep it to yourself? ”

This hundred households surnamed Wang were a little unbearable by Chen Shu's words, and wanted to refute but didn't say anything for a long time, but the hundred households surnamed Zhou next to him stepped forward at this time and said: "Lord Transfer, I know that you are eager to catch thieves, but according to the imperial court decree, we escort Cao Yan to Shandong to the political envoy to make a difference, at the latest can not exceed forty-five days, once the time limit is exceeded, you and we will have to be boarded, and every more than one day must add a board." ”

Chen Shu still smiled coldly: "I'd rather be beaten than let those moths take away the official salt in vain." ”

The hundred households surnamed Zhou were choked by Chen Shu and couldn't get off the stage, so they coldly put down a sentence: "You are a transfer envoy, what to do, you are in charge." ”

Chen Shu sneered: "I'll be the master, don't do anything tonight, we will be stationed on this shore tonight, come, release carrier pigeons." ”

The hundred households surnamed Zhou were stunned: "Carrier pigeon, what carrier pigeon?" What are the other arrangements for the transshipment envoys? How did we not know"

Chen Shu walked up to Zhou Baihu, stared at the other party's eyes and said, "Since I am a transfer envoy, what am I doing, do I have to greet you in advance?" ”

That Zhou Baihu was dumbfounded by Chen Shu's words, so he had to turn around and mumble away, that Wang Baihu felt that it was not right, and hurriedly followed behind Zhou Baihu, and the two left the team one after another with a tacit understanding, and gathered together while people were not paying attention, Wang Baihu said: "It seems that he wants to come to the truth, but what does it mean that he stopped on the shore and released carrier pigeons?" ”

Zhou Baihu frowned, shook his head and said, "It seems that he must have a back hand, is he calling a helper?" Could it be those suspicious people who got on the boat and went down the other day? Also, have you noticed, he just said, do you want to keep it to yourself? Does this sentence mean that he also wants a piece of it? ”

Wang Baihu nodded: "Yes, but he just said this sentence, and he didn't know what his mother said, if he really wanted a copy, just say it to his mother, and what the mother stopped to do, isn't this taking off his pants and farting." ”

Zhou Baihu hesitated: "Anyway, whether he reports to find a helper, or wants to divide a sum, it is all troublesome now, we have to be prepared, you send someone to notify the other side, let them be careful, stop for the time being, don't divide the share to the boat gang, and wait until things are clear." ”

King Zhou didn't know that the two hundred households were secretly discussing countermeasures, another pair of eyes were staring at them, and their every move fell into these eyes.
