Qin Li smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Huang, let the junior brother sell it first, and Brother Huang and Master Li will only do what the junior brother tells him!" ”

Although Huang Tian was suspicious in his heart, after all, he threw himself to the ground for the five bodies that Qin Li had already admired. He saw that Qin Li was serious, so he had no choice but to give up. Huang Tian stopped talking, and Li Bo didn't say anything. Anyway, in his heart, he regarded Qin Li as a little fairy-like figure, and regarded Qin Li's orders as a holy decree.

Qin Li whispered to Huang Tian and Li Bo again, and Huang Tian and Li Bo looked even more confused. But he still led twenty cronies to carry out Qin Li's orders to the letter.

Next, Qin Li led three hundred soldiers to take advantage of the night and quietly rushed to the reeds by the canal.

The five-mile journey is a stick of incense, and the time is here.

Speaking of which, this reed swing by the canal is really a bit peculiar. Qin Li and the others saw an empty flat land, with no grass growing. Walking along this flat land, there is a pond on the side of the canal where the White Lotus Sect hoards private salt.

On both sides of the flat ground are reeds that are more than a foot high, densely packed, whirring under the blowing of the night wind, adding a little coldness to this silent night.

The place where the White Lotus cultists hoarded their salt was not so much a reed, but a pond connected to the canal. This pond was apparently dug by hand by the White Lotus Sect.

The reason why I chose this place is also a lot of thought. Because there are tall reeds on both sides, and although the other side is flat, it has long been blocked by a fence wall made of wooden stakes, leaving only a gap two feet wide in the fence wall, which serves as their usual passage in and out.

On the other side, it is connected to the Yangzhou Canal, and boats can sail directly into the canal. I have to say that this place is quite secluded and still very suitable for illegal activities drops!

It's July, and the reeds are very lush and dark green. But the more you go forward. The color of the reeds is also changing. From dark green to light green. When Qin Li led the people to the edge of the pond, the reeds were already withered and yellow, and they were unusually dry.

Qin Li discovered this strange scene when he first observed the terrain around the reeds. But until now, Qin Li still couldn't figure out what caused this result. However, it is certain that the flat land under our feet is not suitable for the growth of reeds, and the reeds on the edge of the pond where private salt are hoarded used to grow vigorously, but now they are also not suitable for the growth of reeds.

Now is not the time to think about the cause of this strange sight, to purge the White Lotus cultists. Taking 10,000 loads of smuggled salt is the top priority.

Qin Li led the army and soon stood silently outside the fence wall made of wooden stakes. Through the gap between the wooden stakes and the wooden stakes, Qin Li could clearly see the lights of more than a dozen large boats in the pond flickering, and from time to time there were a few irritable shouts, "Hurry up!" It's all quick, and it's about to leave the boat! ”

Yu Youshan has already become a loyal fan of Qin Li, and he is standing by Qin Li's side at this time. Yu Youshan lowered his voice and sneered a few times, and said, "Lord Qin, these people are really a bunch of damn ghosts. Do you still want to run at this time? Hey! Don't they know that my Lord Qin has already laid a net? Fighting with Lord Qin, I think they will have to eat milk for a few more years. ”

Yu Youshan was obviously patting Qin Li's ass. But thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn. This was Qin Li's first time leading the troops, Qin Li was already excited in his heart, and his shot like this made Qin Li extremely comfortable.

"Lord Yu, you lead sixty soldiers to drill into the reeds on the left and right, and when I whistle, I will immediately light the fire." Qin Li ordered in a deep voice.

Qin Li is now a general. Although Yu Youshan is a hundred households, he must completely obey Qin Li's command at this time. In the military. The orders of the chief, whether you approve of them or not, need to be obeyed absolutely.

Although Yu Youshan didn't know the purpose of Qin Li asking him to do this, he still straightened his chest and said in a low voice, "Honorable Order!" ”

Yu Youshan's prestige among the soldiers was very high, and in a moment, he led the soldiers into the depths of the reeds on both sides.

Qin Li's deep gaze looked at the other side. It was clearly seen that Huang Tian and Li Bo had gathered twenty boats according to his instructions and lined them up. The lights flashed three times on the two boats in the middle, which was to report the situation to Qin Li again. Qin Li knew that they had firmly connected the twenty boats with iron cables at this time.

……

At this time, Qiu Jing, the incense master of the Jiangdu White Lotus Sect, was standing on the big boat and was drinking with Zheng Yunlin, the magistrate of Jiangdu.

It is said that Zheng Yunlin is not a member of the White Lotus Sect, but in the past few years, he has colluded with Qiu Jing. Zheng Yunlin sold all the grain and rice collected in Jiangdu County to Qiu Jing, except for those who paid enough for the imperial court. Zheng Yunlin made a fortune from it.

That's what silver is. How many are too little for the greedy. Qiu Jing understood Zheng Yunlin's greed, so he and Zheng Yunlin simply started the business of reselling illicit salt. Of course, Zheng Yunlin is only responsible for the security of Jiangdu, so his stake is quite small. But even so, Zheng Yunlin has gained a lot.

You must know that it is quite profitable to resell illicit salt in Daming.

"Lord Zheng, if that little cub Qin Li is not removed for a day, our business will not be peaceful for a day. After following the above instructions, we will not do it for the time being, and when Lord Zheng drives Qin Li out of Jiangdu, you and I will make a fortune together! Qiu Jing said with a sad face.

"Grandma, Qin Li, this cub is really full and has nothing to do, you said that your White Lotus Sect is in the way of his eggs, and he has to be an enemy of your White Lotus Sect. Brother Qiu rest assured, this official will definitely get rid of Qin Li as soon as possible. Zheng Yunlin took a sip of wine and said through gritted teeth.

The two of them were chattering and sighing with emotion, Chen Xingwang suddenly ran into the cabin in a panic, and said breathlessly, "Lord Xiang, Lord Zhixian, something is wrong." The exit from the canal was blocked. ”

Qiu Jing and Zheng Yunlin were both stunned, and their faces immediately turned pale. The two hurried out of the cabin and stood at the bow of the boat to look out at the pond exit. But I saw twenty boats lined up in a neat line, blocking the passage of the pond and the canal.

"Grandma, it's a ball, saying Cao Cao Cao arrived, I think this must be Qin Li's cub playing tricks again. It's been eight lifetimes of blood mold, why did I meet such a dead star, hob meat? Lord Zheng, how is this good! Qiu Jing's anger was like thunder, and he panicked for a moment and scolded loudly.

Zheng Yunlin was also sad when he saw the scene in front of him, and he was at a loss. His eyes were fixed on the twenty boats, and he was anxious to think of what to do. Zheng Yunlin looked at it, and his eyes lit up.

He laughed and said, "Brother Qiu doesn't need to panic, I don't know if Brother Qiu has noticed, there are not many people on the opposite boat." In this official's opinion, Qin Li can easily get a lot of ships, but he can't get enough manpower. Isn't it Li Bo's errands?

Hehe! Li Bo can mobilize no more than twenty errand soldiers. With the more than 300 disciples of the White Lotus Sect in Jiangdu, can't you still deal with those twenty people? ”

"This ...... This ......" Qiu Jing said, a pair of small eyes the size of mung beans were rolling slightly.

Last night, the scene of Qin Li dealing with more than 100 sect members with the strength of one person clearly appeared in his mind again. He was really afraid of Qin Li, he couldn't understand why Qin Li, a small young man, was so bold, and why Qin Li's martial arts were so powerful.

"Could it be that Brother Qiu is afraid? Brother Qiu doesn't have to be afraid of that Qin Li, according to the official, that Qin Li is just a three-year-old child, and he has no courage. Brother Qiu, please see, he connected all the boats together with iron cables, and laid wooden planks between the boats, isn't this just the right thing to attack with fire? Zheng Yunlin said with a smug smile.

"Oh, that's really the case, this kid hasn't read the Three Kingdoms, right? What an ignorant child. Someone came, released a rocket, and burned Qin Li and others to death on the ship. When their ship is wrecked and people die, we will set sail immediately! Qiu Jing looked at it carefully, and immediately looked excited, and hurriedly ordered.

The disciples did not dare to hesitate when they received his order, and stood at the bow of the ship with their bows and arrows. Rockets were fired at Huang Tian and Li Bo's boats. Just a cup of tea, all twenty boats caught fire, and the flames soared to the sky!

At the same time, Zheng Yunlin and Qiu Jing heard the sound of crying father and mother, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of their mouth almost at the same time. (To be continued.) )
