Chapter 296: Heading to Eastern Wei
After getting the relevant information from Zhong Qinghan, Su Ziheng took Shi Meng and his party of more than 50 members of the escort team, as well as the secret agent of the secret investigation department, and set foot on the road to the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Su Ziheng still chose to take the sea route, because the time was the fastest, although it was likely to meet Zhu Chao's naval fleet at sea, but he was not afraid.
At present, there are no powerful long-range attack artillery on the naval fleet, and even if they encounter it on the sea, it will be difficult to catch up. Even if he caught up, Su Ziheng was not afraid, the melee escort team had never lost, and it was just time to train soldiers.
A 100-person ship sails on the vast sea, looking far away, a piece of blue. In winter, the sea is calm, there are no strong winds and waves, the boat moves smoothly, and seagulls can be seen flying over the mast from time to time.
"Ren Ping, where are they trapped now? Is there enough food to eat? Su Ziheng found the spies of the Secret Investigation Division, intending to inquire about the situation of Dong Yuanyu, so as to find a way to rescue her.
Ren Ping arched his hand and said: "Back to Lord Changshi, at present, the team led by Miss Dongyuan is trapped on an abandoned dock in Haizhou, and the entrance to the sea has been blocked by the Zhuchaode naval fleet, and our fleet cannot get close, resulting in the inability to transport all the people away. As for food, the subordinates are not very clear. ”
Su Ziheng frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't the little girl quite closely connected with that side?" Why was he suddenly discovered by the people of Zhuchao after setting off? Was someone informant or did you bump into it by accident? ”
"Back to Lord Changshi's words, he was accidentally bumped into at sea. At that time, we had a total of nearly 20 seagoing vessels, and the team was quite large. In order to avoid the sailor patrol fleet of Zhu Chao, they deliberately made a detour for a day to avoid their routes. ”
"Who knew that the sky was not as good as the people, and when he stopped to replenish fresh water halfway, he was accidentally discovered by Zhu Chao's sailors. No one expected that Zhu Chao would take advantage of the Spring Festival to capture the surrounding towns, causing Miss Dongyuan to make a mistake in judgment. Ren Ping lowered his head and explained.
Su Ziheng showed a look of surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect that this Zhu Chao was still quite capable, and he actually took advantage of the Spring Festival opponent to relax his vigilance and take the surrounding territory.
Sure enough, if you can become a prince, none of them are easy to get along with, and it seems that you can't take any rash action against him, you have to think about it thoroughly, and you can first rescue Dongyuan Yu.
"How far is our fleet from where we are trapped?"
"There is still about a day to go, and at that time, we took advantage of the fact that the Zhuchao Navy was not paying attention, rowed a small boat to escape and report the news, and the speed of the boat rowing on the sea was not particularly fast, and it only took a day and a half." Ren Ping said.
"In this way, they are not too far away from our Donghai County. This is not a good situation, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly? If Zhu Chao has bad intentions towards us one day, wouldn't our Donghai County be in danger. Su Ziheng secretly pondered in his heart, even if there was no Dongyuan Fu being trapped, he would not be able to sit back and watch Zhu Chao grow and develop.
……
……
After a night of sailing, the ships finally approached the abandoned dock where Dong Yuanyu was trapped, and in the distance, Su Ziheng saw dozens of fleets docked near the dock, lined up, which was spectacular.
Obviously, this ship alone will not be able to rescue Dong Yuan and them. He was not driving a warship, so even if Shi Meng and the others were powerful in close combat, it would be useless.
"Pan Baihu, first find a deserted beach to dock the boat, we may have to log in from the shore. At that time, your people will be on the boat, and after three days, you will drive the ship back to Donghai County without waiting for me to send back the news, understand? Su Ziheng shouted Pan Dabeard and commanded.
"My lord, don't you want your subordinates to send someone with you?" Pan Bearded asked.
Su Ziheng shook his head and said, "No need, you don't have a war horse, and your speed can't keep up with us." Remember to hide it here, just don't be discovered by Zhu Chao's sailors. ”
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the subordinates in this vicinity are very familiar with it, and know that there is a hidden harbor here to dock, so that they can not find our traces." Pan's beard slammed his chest and assured loudly.
Su Ziheng showed a look of surprise on his face, and said repeatedly: "It's great that you are even familiar with this place, and I will arrange someone to run with me and lead the way." ”
Pan Dabeard touched his scalp and smiled: "My lord, I don't think I should look for anyone else, just subordinate." ”
Su Ziheng asked, "You are gone, who will guard the ship?" ”
Pan said with a big beard: "With Zheng Baihu here, it should be fine." ”
Su Ziheng thought for a while and said, "That's okay, then let Zheng Baihu stay and guard the ship." However, if it is discovered by Zhu Chao's sailors, don't fight, just run, and wait until you receive our signal to pick us up. Maybe when the time comes, we will rescue them, and we may not be able to go back directly on their ships. ”
After the ship docked, Su Ziheng, Shi Meng and others led the war horses down from the boat, rested for a while, and after breakfast, let Pan Dabeard identify the direction, and went straight towards the place where Dong Yuanyu was trapped.
Although it is close to the sea, the road is not very difficult to walk. All the war horses brought out by Su Ziheng this time have been nailed to the horseshoe, even if they gallop all the way, the damage to the horse's hooves is not very great.
After more than an hour of non-stop running, under the guidance of Pan Dabeard and Ren Ping, the pier was already in sight.
At this time, Su Ziheng suddenly smelled a faint pungent smell in the air, but it was not the rotten smell of seafood, and he asked curiously: "Pan Baihu, you are very familiar with the nearby terrain, so did you ask about this strange smell, and why was this dock abandoned?" ”
When he got off the ship just now, Su Ziheng was quite strange, this is a natural deep-sea port nearby, and large sea ships can be berthed with a little transformation, why is such a good wharf abandoned.
Pan Dabeard took a deep breath, his face changed, and he exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there is still some distance from Black Dragon Pond here, and we can smell this poisonous gas, it seems that we have to hurry up and rescue Miss Dongyuan and them." ”
"Black Dragon Pool? Gas? What's going on here? Su Ziheng asked curiously.
"If you go back to your lordship, this poisonous gas is spreading from the Black Dragon Pool. The Black Dragon Pond is about a dozen miles away from here, and it is rumored that someone killed a black dragon in a waterhole, and the black dragon's body left black blood to pollute the entire waterhole, causing all the fish and shrimp in the waterhole to be poisoned. ”
"Do you believe this nonsense?" Su Ziheng said disdainfully.
Pan Dabeard sneered: "My subordinates also heard what the local residents said, and they also said that this black dragon blood is very magical, it can burn on water, and it can't be destroyed with water, but it burns more and more." My lord, did you say that if it weren't for the black dragon's blood, would something else be so magical? ”
Su Ziheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, he wouldn't have encountered a natural oil well, right?
