Yang Lian and his entourage stayed in Suzhou overnight, the next morning, the battleship continued to go north, Suzhou's geographical location is important, with the end of the war, the people also increased, Suzhou located in the transportation hub began to become busy, through Suzhou to Changzhou, Xiuzhou and other places on the canal crowded with ships, especially on the wharf, ships of different sizes are waiting to get on and off the goods. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Tang warships came slowly, the three vanguard warships opened the way, and the ordinary merchant ships saw that the battleships were coming, and many avoided them, and the Tang warships passed all the way, but they were also unimpeded. At this time, the southeast wind prevailed, the speed of the ship was very fast, and the time of walking half a meal, Suzhou City was already invisible, according to this speed, I wanted to come within four days, I could reach Jinling.

Yang Lian stood on the deck, let out a long breath, in two or three hours, he will set foot on the boundary of Changzhou, as soon as he thinks of Changzhou, Yang Lian is full of emotion, Changzhou is the place where he officially started, there are many nostalgia here, he was rescued here, and he also saved people, it was by saving Princess Huairou that he officially stepped into the Tang Dynasty military circle and began to show his ambitions.

What will happen in the future, Yang Lian can't predict, but he knows that everything is changing in a good direction, although the Son of Heaven has not rewarded him with anything at present, whether it is false name or real power, but Yang Lian has accumulated a certain amount of contacts through the conquest of Wu Yue.

Lin Renzhao was appointed as the envoy of Suzhou Festival, there are pros and cons, for Yang Lian, the greater Lin Renzhao's strength, the greater the help given to him, but whether the Son of Heaven has other thoughts is very worth playing.

Yang Lian hoped that Lin Renzhao could be by his side from the bottom of his heart, but some things were diverted from time to time by his thoughts. Just as Yang Lian was thinking, suddenly the battleship gradually stopped.

A soldier hurried over and said, "Yang Jiedu, there are rocks in front of you." ”

"Clean up quickly, the sooner the better." Yang Lian said.

"Whoa!" The soldier ran away.

The flag swayed, the battleship of the front army received the order, and the soldiers on the battleship disembarked, took out their tools, and began to salvage. During this period of time, the soldiers of the Tang Army encountered such a situation many times, and it was not surprising that the canal was still full of debris, including wooden blocks, stones, and so on. This time there were a lot of things in the canal, and it took a lot of effort for the soldiers to salvage half of the debris, and it seemed that it would take at least half a column of incense to salvage it.

Qian Wenfeng walked over slowly, with worry in his eyes, and said, "Yang Jiedu, don't you think this matter is quite strange?" ”

Yang Lian turned his head, looked at Qian Wenfeng, and said, "General Qian, you mean, someone is leading all this?" ”

"I just think it is possible, the war between the two countries has been over for a while, although the war is fierce, the damage to the canal is not great, when I led the south to support Hangzhou, it was along the canal, at that time, the canal was not blocked in a large area, but from the current situation, the canal blockage is very bad. I suspect that all of this was done on purpose. Qian Wenfeng analyzed.

Yang Lian pondered for a moment, it seemed to make sense, but he hadn't walked through this section of the canal, he didn't know the situation, and as for Qian Wenfeng's words, he couldn't be sure that they were all true. Yang Lian said: "Listen to General Qian, is someone trying to assassinate me?" ”

"Just imagine, if Yang Jiedu successfully returns to Jinling, this is the first contribution to the destruction of Wu Yue Kingdom, and it will not be able to escape. The merit is high, does the Tang Dynasty really have no extra thoughts? Qian Wen said.

Historically, the heroes of the imperial court, especially the founding heroes, have mostly been in different places after the world has been decided, and Han Xin will not have only one. Yang Lian knows this, but if the Son of Heaven wants to kill him, it is impossible now, at least he has to wait for the unification of the world.

If it wasn't the Son of Heaven, what kind of person would it be, could it be King Yan? He was very dissatisfied with himself, and it was very likely that he would do this kind of thing, but Yang Lian needed to have enough evidence to do it. It's just slander out of thin air.

Qian Wenfeng looked at Yang Lian thinking, his face was cloudy, and he said very seriously: "Yang Jiedu don't worry, Wu Yueguo no longer exists, although I am very sad, but many things are irreparable." What's more, I also understand that it is impossible for the Qian family to win the world, and it is not a good thing for the Qian family to be able to save their lives and protect their families in troubled times. ”

Yang Lian looked at him carefully, and saw that his face was sincere, not like a fake, so he said: "General Qian can figure out this section, which is the blessing of the Qian family, but King Wu Yue is different." ”

The day before his departure, Qian Hongyu cried all night in the Qian Clan's temple because he was a Qian sinner. Regardless of the process, the final result is that Wu Yue Kingdom has perished, how can Qian Hongyu be worthy of the ancestors of the Qian family? During this time on the ship, Qian Hongyu spent most of his time in the cabin, sometimes without eating or drinking, like a lady who did not leave the door.

Qian Wenfeng shook his head and said, "Yang Jiedu rest assured, Yuehou just felt sorry for his ancestors and ancestors for a while, and after a long time, he will be able to figure it out." ”

"It's for the best." Yang Lian said,

Immediately afterwards, the two fell into silence, and after waiting for a while, the canal was finally dredged, and the battleship headed north again, but after only two or three miles, the canal was blocked again, forcing the Tang army to stop and continue to dredge the river.

This is done twice in a row, the sky is already dusk, the sun is hanging on the top of the mountain, it is inconvenient to sail at night, not to mention that there are many places in front of me that are blocked, Yang Lian ordered the three armies to be stationed on the spot, in order to prevent accidents, Yang Lian summoned the commanders of the various armies, the heads, and told them that they must be vigilant tonight, and the constantly blocked canals prove that someone wants to attack this Tang army.

The commanders of all armies saw that Yang Lian was serious, and they all gave orders, and all armies sent soldiers to guard the surrounding areas of the battleship in case something really happened.

However, the night passed, and there was no incident, and the next morning, the three armies got up to bury the pot and cook rice, which was very lively.

Yang Lian also woke up early and practiced martial arts on the deck.

Qian Wenfeng walked over slowly, and when he saw Yang Lian practicing martial arts, he watched from the side, knowing that Yang Lian had finished practicing, he handed the long knife to the soldiers beside him, took the handkerchief, and wiped the sweat on his face.

"Yang Jiedu will be like this every day, and his perseverance is really amazing." Qian Wenfeng said.

Yang Lian handed the sweat-stained handkerchief to the soldiers, stretched his arms, and said, "As a soldier, you naturally have to have a healthy body, and you naturally have to exercise regularly. ”

Qian Wenfeng laughed, suddenly restrained his smile again, and said, "Yang Jiedu, have you considered taking the land route?" ”

"Why do you say that?" Yang Lian asked.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with taking the waterway, and if there are really people with bad intentions, taking the land route may be able to surprise you." Qian Wenfeng said.

"It's inconvenient to travel by land, and if you transport so many things, I'm afraid the time to travel by land will be doubled." Yang Lian shook his head and refused.

Qian Wenfeng didn't say anything anymore, and sighed slightly in his heart. Soon, the soldiers brought breakfast, a bowl of rice porridge, two steamed buns, and after breakfast, the three armies set off. The battleship continued northward, and this time five miles away, it came to a small town with a huge wharf, which was crowded with ships.

The ship blocked the way of the battleship's advance, Yang Lian sent someone to ask, it turned out to be more than 500 steps north of the wharf, yesterday it was fine, today I don't know what happened, suddenly the river was blocked by rocks. The ships couldn't get through for a while, and they were all trapped here.

Qian Wenfeng pointed ahead and said, "Yang Jiedu, it seems that my guess is right." ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Now it seems that this person is in the camp step by step, hindering all the way, just to delay the pace of Ben Jiang's return to Jinling." ”

"Otherwise, I'm afraid there is a deeper conspiracy." Qian Wenfeng said.

"The general's army is here, does he dare to kill it?" Yang Lian said.

Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly ran over and said, "Yang Jiedu, the cabin is flooded." ”

"How can it get into the water?" Yang Lian couldn't help but be stunned.

Yang Lian's battleship has a compartment at the bottom, the advantage of this is that it is not easy to sink, and Yang Lian's main ship is very well-built, how can it leak?

"Yang Jiedu, I don't know the current situation, I think someone is scuttling a boat underwater." The soldier replied.

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Don't panic, first dock the battleship on the shore, let the soldiers who are familiar with the water go into the water, and take a look at the situation." ”

"Whoa!" The soldier said, and walked away quickly.

Qian Wenfeng frowned and said, "It seems that they are going to make a move." ”

Yang Lian snorted coldly and said, "I want to see how powerful they are." ”

As he spoke, the battleship moved and leaned towards the shore, and by this time the battleship had begun to tilt, but fortunately the canal was not wide, and soon it reached the shore, and the soldiers lowered their sampans, and a large number of soldiers began to go ashore. Qian Hongyu was called out and followed everyone ashore.

Yang Lian is not in a hurry, he is very good at water, and it is okay to wait. The battleship is getting more and more tilted, Qian Wenfeng is very painful, there are a lot of gold and silver money in the battleship, if you can't catch it, it will be a big loss.

The soldiers on the ship were almost ashore, Yang Lian went ashore slowly, and the main ship continued to sink, and suddenly let out a wail, leaning even more.

Yang Lian went ashore and immediately gave an order, the three armies scattered in all directions, ready to control the entire town, these troublemakers must still be in the town, Yang Lian was well A battleship was scuttled by someone, how could he not feel pain in his heart?

Several of them left with their subordinates, and suddenly, a wave suddenly gushed out of the canal, and more than a dozen black-clothed men emerged from the water, they bit long knives in their mouths, and climbed the river with their hands to climb the riverside.

"Kill!" The leader shouted, and with a dance of the long knife in his hand, he swooped straight at Yang Lian.

Yang Lian was not wearing armor, and he was not carrying a long knife on his body, seeing that the person who came was violent, he hurriedly took a step back, pulled out the blade from the waist of the soldier on the side, and rushed towards the comer.

"Bell!" With a loud bang, Yang Lian's palms were slightly numb, and the man was no better, the tiger's mouth was shattered, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back, colliding with his companions.

"Today is either you dead or I die!" The man shouted loudly, and pounced on the ground regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one.

This person spoke a little specially, Yang Lian couldn't hear that his accent was from there, although he was surprised in his heart, but the situation didn't allow him to think much at this time, so he raised his knife to meet him. At this time, the Tang army reacted one after another, drew their blades and stepped forward to fight.

There were constantly men in black who emerged from the river and fought with the Tang army, but their number was small, and they were quickly eliminated one by one under the strong encirclement and suppression of the Tang army.

"Keep your mouth alive." Yang Lian commanded.

Several soldiers escorted four or five people over, and these people looked at Yang Lian angrily.

Yang Lian asked, "Who are you, and who are your subordinates who dare to attack this general?" ”

"Hehe, Yang Jiedu has done things, people and gods are angry, I can't kill you now, I'm ashamed of the world, you want to kill and kill, needless to say." A man in black at the head snorted coldly and refused very arrogantly.

A soldier removed the man's veil, Yang Lian looked at him for a while, this person had no impression at all, and so did the others.

"Are you really not afraid of death?" Yang Lian asked.

"Hey, hey!" The man in black glanced around, and suddenly his mouth moved, and his teeth cracked the poison hidden in his mouth. By the time Yang Lian felt that something was wrong, the poison had already penetrated deep into his lungs, and the man spat out a few mouthfuls of white foam and fell to the ground, convulsions all over.

"What kind of poison is this, it's like this." Qian Wenfeng was shocked.

Yang Lian suddenly realized that it was not good, and he was about to speak, when the remaining black-clothed people also swallowed the poison hidden in their teeth, but in a moment, they fell to the ground one after another.

"These people are all dead soldiers." Qian Wenfeng said.

Yang Lian nodded, squatted down, groped around the man in black at the head, trying to entertain clues, but there was nothing on this person, like a blank piece of paper, Yang Lian thought about it and tore open this person's clothes. The first time he saw this person's corpse, Yang Lian was stunned.

On this person, there are actually long-lost tiger claws engraved, and there are actually a lot of tiger claws on this person's body, with four claws, obviously this person's status is not low. Yang Lian tore the clothes of the black-clothed people who swallowed poison and died in a row, and these people also had tiger claws engraved on their bodies, but not as many as the tiger claws on the first person.
