Li Wancai saw the surprised looks on the faces of Li Tingyu and the others, thinking that his hard work had finally been rewarded, and Prince Yu's confidant Zuo Ling saw that the braid on the back of his head really looked at him differently, and he couldn't help but be even more proud, and immediately flattered like a tide, and his mouth was like a river of flattery.

Li Tingyu was disgusted when he heard this, the green tendons on his forehead loomed, and he was almost about to jump up, but he felt that the corner of his clothes was gently pulled, and when he looked sideways, it was Wang Huan.

Wang Huan approached Li Tingyu's ear and whispered: "This person can be of great use, first stabilize it and get on the boat." ”

Li Wancai was standing beside him, and it was not easy to talk too much, Wang Huan just nodded slightly, and then moved away and stood aside. Li Tingyu is also a smart person, he can understand it at one point, and immediately understood the meaning of Wang Huan's words: such a traitorous and evil person, his head is given to whoever he wants, it is a first-class gift, even if no one wants it, it is also excellent to seize it as a hostage, this is a big gift, don't let him run away!

So Li Tingyu resisted the idea of wanting to beat up the bombastic old man in front of him, clenched his clenched fists tightly, barely opened his tight mouth, and interrupted Li Wancai's words: "That, Master Li, let's talk about gossip when we get free, it's important to get down to business first." ”

Li Wancai was foaming at the mouth, and was cut off by Li Tingyu, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, Master Tu is right, do the right thing first." ”

He a priori read Tuhai's confession document, confirmed his identity, and wrote Tuhai's general appearance on the confession, but with a few words, he could only write like a person, and he couldn't let others figure out his appearance through confession, so Li Wancai only carefully looked at the authenticity of the confession, of course the confession was true, and Li Wancai confirmed it without doubt. After confirming his identity, Li Wancai hurriedly said: "The twenty boats brought by the lower officials are all ships transporting grain on the canal, and the hull is wide, and they will definitely be able to carry the goods escorted by Lord Tu. ”

As he spoke, the boats were already leaning on the pier one after another, close together, and the boats were connected by cables, which was very stable.

Li Tingyu made a move, and the soldiers behind him pushed the silver carts out of the reeds one after another, and in groups of several people, they lifted the heavy wooden boxes off the carts and carefully transported them onto the ship.

Nearly 200 silver cars, a total of more than 300 large and small wooden boxes, like ants moving, were slowly carried onto the ship, placed in the cargo hold of the boat, this kind of boat is a cargo ship with a very deep draft, the load capacity is very strong, Rao is so, after all the wooden boxes are on the ship, plus more than 500 people, each ship is fully loaded, the hull is pressed very low, and the lake water is almost pouring up to the deck.

This time to carry down, it took a lot of time, look at the sun, it was past noon, in the process of getting on the boat, Li Tingyu and Li Wancai sat in the shade of the tree and watched the soldiers carry, Li Wancai was still in the close, hoping to deepen the impression of Tuhai, and even cheekily asked what Duoduo liked, even if Li Tingyu was talking nonsense, after talking for a long time, he didn't know what to say. Fortunately, seeing that the move was finished, he quickly stood up and jumped on the boat.

Li Wancai hurriedly followed and got on the boat, Wang Huan explained a few words to the leading generals on each ship, sent everyone on the boat, and followed.

Li Tingyu looked at the way he came, and saw that there was no sign of the chasing soldiers coming up, so he was relieved, smiled and patted Li Wancai's shoulder, and said, "Master Li, let's sail." ”

Li Wancai was slapped by him like this, his body was light, and he was overjoyed. Suddenly felt that his trip was not in vain, it was Prince Yu's cronies who patted himself, this became a buddy who patted the shoulder, doesn't it indicate that he is on this line? In the future, flying yellow is just around the corner!

Thinking about the position of the governor of Caoyun, he is not a banner person, and he may not have that blessing, but it is not a big problem to be a deputy envoy of Caoyun, hehe, that position is difficult to buy, I don't know how many dignitaries and dignitaries are staring at, Li Wancai of the Ming Dynasty has no big backer, he can only look at drooling, in the Qing Dynasty, as long as Prince Yu Duoduo gently pushes it, can he still not be a monk?

Thinking of this, Li Wancai's spirits were lifted, and he bowed to Li Tingyu in response, and then straightened his waist angrily, stood at the bow of the ship, and shouted loudly to the sailors on the twenty ships: "Open the boat!" ”

The boatmen immediately let out a long sigh, and countless long artemisia stood up and plunged into the water, and with the sound of a trumpet, the boats slowly slid into the lake one after another.

Li Tingyu and Wang Huan stood side by side on the bow of the boat, looking at the lake shore farther and farther away, their mood was relaxed for a while, and they entered Hongze Lake.

The blue water ripples, the wooden boat chops the waves, and sails straight to the lake, the breeze on the lake is gusting, the boatmen raise the sails, the white sails catch the wind, and the heavy-duty boats are pushed faster and faster, gradually, from the shore, it becomes one small black dot after another.

An hour after the fleet was offshore, on the way of Wang Huan and others, a large puff of smoke and dust was raised, and on the dirt road that was not spacious, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and the cry rumbled, gradually like a burst of thunder, like a gust of wind, and in an instant they came to the small dock where the boat docked.

The scout knights in front of them walked around the docks, and easily found the empty ox carts discarded in the reeds, the cattle were ownerless, walking or lying in the grass very leisurely, grazing and drinking, staring at a pair of big watery eyes, looking at the frenzied cavalry rushing from a distance.

Hundreds of cavalry iron-clad and murderous, all of them swords out of their sheaths, bows on the strings, as if facing a great enemy, the leading knights held long knives, galloped wildly, until they almost rushed to the water's edge before they reined in their horses and turned back, roaring at a few scouts in front of them: "What about people? What about the silver car? Where have they gone? ”

The scouts knelt on one leg and pointed to the cattle among the grass and said, "Lord Sule, we are a step too late, and the Nanban has already abandoned the car and boarded the boat and headed for the lake. ”

This group of cavalry who came in a hurry was Su Le and others under Tu Hai, Su Le disguised himself as a horse thief last night, and after wantonly looting in the family team of the baggage battalion, according to Tu Hai's arrangement, he took the stolen carriage and ran for dozens of miles overnight, came to a village near Huai'an City for temporary refuge, and changed into Qing military uniforms at dawn to wait on the side of the official road, but unexpectedly waited left and right, and waited until nearly noon, and did not see the arrival of the Tuhai brigade, and felt that something was a little wrong in his heart, so he left more than 100 people to guard the looted property, He took the rest of the men and horses back to Tiger Roaring Valley, but saw a camp full of dead people, as well as Tu Hai's body and corpse.

The situation was quickly figured out, and Li Tingyu, the general of the Ming army who was regarded as a coolie, drugged himself in wine and food, killed the entire battalion of Qing soldiers left behind, stole all the silver carts while it was dark, and quietly left the Tiger Roaring Valley, where he went.

Su Le was in a cold sweat at that time, his head was blank, and he was almost unstable: the guards stole themselves, lost a huge amount of silver cars, left their posts without permission, Shangguan was killed but he was alive and well, any one of them was a capital crime, not to mention that there were so many articles, it was not enough for his head to be cut eight times.

Gritting his teeth and holding his head to think about it, he came up with a clever plan, he simply didn't do it twice, and pushed all the disasters on the head of Li Tingyu and other descendants, it was this group of troops who were in Cao Ying's heart in Han, colluded with horse thieves, and intended to rob the camp, Tuhai noticed something wrong, and sent himself to lead the troops out to check, but unexpectedly the horse thieves and the army took the opportunity to enter, killed the Qing army left behind, Tuhai also died in battle, the army robbed the silver car, the horse thieves robbed the property, and fled together.

Su Le thought about it over and over again, and felt that there was no loophole in this explanation, so he found a few generals and analyzed the situation and disadvantages to them one by one, and several officers were also panicking, and when they didn't know what to do, they all felt like the sunrise in the clouds, and they all understood it like a cloud opening the sunrise, and they all understood it like an empowerment, and they nodded like chickens pecking rice, and they all agreed.

So everyone swore a poisonous oath together, kept secrets together, and lived and died together. The next thing was simple, while sending people to report to the Duoduo army, he selected two obedient ones from the command of the baggage battalion to teach them how to tell lies, and the rest of the commanders all cut off their heads in one go, so as not to reveal the true cause of death of Tuhai and others.

After everything was arranged in the baggage camp, it was already past noon, Su Le freed his hand, gritted his teeth and led the cavalry to chase along the rut marks on the official road.

All the way, Sule was eager to grow wings, fly to the side of those damn surrenderers, cut off their heads, let them know the fate of the betrayal, oh no, it's just that cutting off their heads is too cheap for them, they must be executed by Ling Chi, yes, Ling Chi is executed!

Halfway through the chase, the rut changed direction and turned onto a small road, Su Le felt a little bad in his heart, asked the natives, and learned that this road led to Hongze Lake, Su Le was going crazy! If you can find the silver car back, with that set of rhetoric, maybe you can get rid of it, but once the silver car enters Hongze Lake, thousands of miles of waves are rolling, where to find it?

As a result, they were afraid of something, and as soon as the scouts spoke, Souler's body shook a few times on his horse and fell headlong.

Fortunately, the scouts who were kneeling on the ground moved quickly and caught Sule so that he didn't break his head and bleed. The generals can regard him as the backbone of the heart at this time, and when they saw him unconscious, they all gathered around, patted him on the back, pinched the people in the middle of the people, and were in a hurry, Su Le was also a moment of blood and energy, phlegm was obsessed, he didn't catch it in one breath, fainted, lay down and patted the vest for a while, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and then eased up.

As soon as he woke up, Sule jumped up, pushed the crowd away, ran to the shore in a few steps, and saw that there were still obvious traces of ships docking on the small dock, and it was obvious that a big ship was here to pick up the group of surrendered troops, and his heart was stunned and pondered.

A few generals also stood over, and at a glance they understood what was going on, and one of them frowned and said: "It's strange, those surrendered troops are trapped in the army, how can there be a fleet to pick them up?" ”

When Su Le heard this, he raised his head, his face no longer had the angry and corrupt appearance just now, his brows were relaxed, and he said in a deep voice: "This group of troops is not simple, everyone, you see that their steps are interlocking, from starting to escaping, it is not after careful consideration, even this boat on the water has been well prepared, it is a dangerous move, but it is foolproof to go." ”

The speaker thought for a moment, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Yes, they launched a rebellion last night, taking advantage of our departure, and the timing was very appropriate. ”

Sule glanced at him and said silently: "It's not the right time, even if we are in the camp, they will still move, but it will take a lot of effort." ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately felt a burst of fear, remembering the tragic death of Tuhai and others in the barracks, and touched their necks at the same time.
