Chapter 143 The River Goes Up

On the Xiaoqing River, the port wharf, the southbound fleet is about to set sail.

The prince, the third, the sixth and the seventh all came to see off Qin Lei. In addition, Li Guangyuan, the two brothers Huangfu, Qin Shouzhuo and others are indeed much more beautiful than when the boss left Beijing, which also makes Qin Lei a little vain.

Yongfu is not in good health, so naturally he can't come to send it, and of course don't expect Miss Li to come. However, the two embroidered a sachet for him and asked him to hide it close to him, saying that he was praying for peace. Of course, Qin Lei did it honestly,

Practicing his own rituals, but it is far inferior to the scenery when Qin Lei entered Beijing that day. After drinking three glasses of Qixing wine, eating nine ruyi dumplings, and holding a handful of hometown soil, Qin Lei waved to everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't pass by." ”

The prince and the others also bowed to him and said, "Have a good trip." ”

Qin Lei hugged the small jar filled with soil, laughed and boarded the boat, looking indescribably free and easy.

When the retinue also got aboard, the planks were drawn, and a few sailors shook the wheels in the bow of the ship and returned the stone pillars that had sunk to the bottom of the water. The captain of the ship stood on the roof of the cabin and shouted, "Sail ......"

A kind of sailor said in unison: "Set sail......"

The fleet moved slowly, away from the dock. Qin Lei stood at the stern of the boat until the people on the shore became smaller and smaller, and finally blurred so that he could no longer see before turning back to the cabin.

Qin Lei's fleet consisted of seven boats, carrying a total of four or five hundred of his subordinates. Coupled with the guards who were secretly sneaking on the shore, Qin Lei, who was afraid of death, actually brought two-thirds of his family with him.

These guards are basically from the melee combat squadron and the bow and crossbow marksman team created during the training of the Qinlei Grassland. Because these two squadrons were not good at trekking, they did not participate in Shen Qing's expeditionary force, but returned to Zhongdu with Qin Qi, but they were secretly stationed in Zhongjia Village on the outskirts of Beijing and did not enter the city. This time, Qin Lei went south and took them out, leaving only 200 people in the Jingli Protection Hall to tao them.

Because Qin Lei's black-clothed guards were constantly sent out on errands, Qin Lei also selected some loyal and capable guards from the two squadrons to supplement the black-clothed guards and be responsible for their own personal safety.

At this time, the three-story boat that Qin Lei was riding was escorted by the black-clothed guards. Qin Lei greeted the guards he met along the way with a smile, and then entered the hall on the first floor.

Shi Meng, Shi Yong, and Zhu Gui were getting together to drink, and Zhu Gui and the others actually trained Qin Qi, and after putting away the unreasonable arrogance, they got along well with Shi Yong. When several people saw Qin Lei coming in, they all got up to greet each other, Qin Lei saw that Xie Wuwu and Cheng Siyuan were still a little nervous, and said with a smile: "When there are no outsiders, you don't have to be formal, you have to learn from Shi Meng." ”

Shi Meng blinked vigorously and said, "Am I that good?" Why don't I know? In the laughter, the restraint of the two also dissipated.

Everyone hugged Qin Lei into the table, beckoned the guards to add some boiled peanuts, fennel beans, sauced beef and the like, and began to salute Qin Lei's wine.

As soon as he left Zhongdu, Qin Lei felt a lot more relaxed and easy-going, and his subordinates did not refuse to toast, and they did seven or eight bowls in a row, and then they burped and waved their hands: "Don't drink, don't drink, let's talk about business." ”

Hearing that something was going to be done, the noisy hall immediately fell silent. Qin Lei pinched a fennel bean, but didn't put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "This time I went south, I must first do a good job of the emperor's mission." However, Jing Cong, the guard next to the Lone King, will swagger tightly wherever he goes, but he scared the thieves into hiding, so this is not good......"

Everyone thought that His Royal Highness was going to do the dirty thing of the white dragon fish suit, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and they all admonished, and it took a long time for Qin Lei to be embarrassed: "If not, how can this emperor do it?" ”

Everyone in the hall hurriedly patted their chests and said, "If the lord has something, his subordinates will obey it, so leave it to us." ”

Qin Lei said with some regret: "Since you are filial, if you are lonely, don't you know how to lift up." Go on your way at night while it's dark. ”

Only then did everyone understand that the prince had no intention of going out by himself. Just kidding, a guy who goes out with a thousand guards, is he willing to take risks on his own?

After joking, Qin Lei said with a straight face: "We have many unpredictable dangers when we go south this time, so I plan to hide you in the dark, so that we can take care of each other." ”

Everyone stood up and arched their hands and said, "But according to the king's orders." ”

Qin Lei nodded and led everyone to the war room on the second floor. Let Shi Dare open the curtain, revealing a map of the south. Qin Lei left Qin Surabaya's home-loving things in the People's Affairs Department, stuffed him with a few drawings, and restricted him to tinker with them before Qin Lei returned, so he didn't care about him anymore. Now Shi Kang has become Qin Lei's chief guard and follower, and the burden is very heavy.

Qin Lei took the bamboo whip handed over by Shi Dang, tapped it three times on Xiangyang Mansion, Nanyang Mansion and Jingzhou Mansion, and said loudly: "According to the report of the Southern Military Intelligence Division, the most serious infiltration of Eastern Qi spies is in these three places. I commanded ......"

Everyone stood up solemnly, waiting for Qin Lei's order.

"Shi Yong took Xie Wuwu to get off the boat in the Lushan area, be sure to explore the temples and villages around Nanyang Mansion, report the suspicious situation, and then lurk down and wait for the next order." Shi Yong took the order and left.

"Zhu Gui took Cheng Siyuan to get off the boat in the Fancheng area, and also found out the situation from the surrounding area to Xiangyang Mansion, and after reporting the clues, he was also lurking." Zhu Gui took the order and left.

Leaving Shi Mengmanan still standing straight, Qin Lei said angrily: "Do you still need to order?" Jingzhou Mansion is yours. If the king is still black-eyed after he arrives, be careful of your ass, get out. The two of them saluted and left.

When the two of them left, except for Shi Kang in the hall, only Shen Bing, who had been silent, was left, this Qin Lei's intelligence leader blamed himself so much for his failure last time, and there was no one who was drinking downstairs.

Qin Lei patted him on the shoulder, looked at the map of Great Qin's southern frontier, and said softly: "The real situation is worse than what they know, and our going south to investigate the spies is just an introduction, and it may not lead to any bezoars." Saying that, he raised his voice and said: "So Shen Bing, you have to cheer up, otherwise this king may not be able to go back to Zhongdu." The light in Shen Bing's eyes flashed, and he nodded slowly, still without words.

Qin Lei knew that as long as this kind of person nodded, he really cheered up, and happily patted him on the shoulder again. Walked to the map and stood still, propped his hands on his sides, as if to say to Shen Bing, and as if talking to himself, he said sharply: "Those old things want Lao Tzu to be a chess piece, step by step according to their plan, Lao Tzu wants to mess up this game of chess, so that none of you want to sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai!" Give me wet shoes! ”

The fleet made its way down the canal, making little stops along the way, except for a few shore reins. Although the scenery on both sides of the strait is beautiful, it is not interesting to watch it for a long time. A few days later, Qin Lei simply hid in the cabin and did some things he liked to do with Ruolan who came alive and dead, which was quite absurd.

On this day, the two fought again, Qin Lei was hugging Ruolan and saying some sweet words, and Shi Dang outside knocked on the door and said, "Your Highness, the sailor on the ship rescued a drowning girl." Would you like to check it out? ”

Qin Lei was bored, and when he heard that he had fun, he hurriedly said, "Let's go." Ruolan Jiao smiled and dressed him, carefully wiped the rouge on his face, and hugged Qin Lei's neck for a while, and then let him out. Having said that, after leaving Kyoto, Ruolan is also a lot more cheerful.

Qin Lei staggered and followed Shi Dang to the guest room, where several old mothers on the ship were taking care of a woman with a pale face and a full body. Qin Lei was just about to get closer to see the excitement, but he was stopped by an old mother and said in a rough voice: "What do you see, I haven't seen the girl's house change clothes." "Qin Lei's daily life is taken care of by Ruolan, because these old mothers don't know him.

Qin Lei touched his nose and smiled at Shi Dang: "I really haven't seen it." Then he asked him to call the sailor who rescued him and interrogate him carefully, and when he found nothing unusual, he sent him away.

When it was time to hold the lamp, the girl woke up leisurely, and a guard informed Qin Lei, and Qin Lei had the opportunity to take a look at the legendary goddess of overboard.

Holding the oil lamp, Qin Lei looked at the girl from head to foot, and finally focused his eyes on the girl's face, and said in a slur voice: "Sure enough, it is a Jiangnan girl, but it is much more delicate than our northern girls." "The girl who had just woken up almost fainted again.

After looking at it, Qin Lei sat in front of the girl with a big grin, and said in a rough voice: "Little lady, quickly report your surname and hometown, and I will throw you into the river again when it is too late." "Qin Lei is also excessive, people have just woken up, how can they have half the energy to answer.

Sure enough, the girl looked at Qin Lei with blank eyes, her mouth trembled a few times, and she couldn't speak.

Qin Lei didn't care about this, waited for a while, and then shouted: "Come on, throw her back into the river for me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, two big men stepped forward, lifted the board of the girl's bed, and were about to go outside. The girl on the bed was so anxious and frightened that she fainted again.

When Qin Lei saw it, he waved his hand depressedly and said, "Don't play, it's not fun." Throw her here. ”

Dahan put down the bed again and followed Qin Lei out of the room.

Silence returned to the room, and the corners of the unconscious girl's mouth turned up slightly, as if she was very proud.
