Guo Ye and his party walked forward for about three miles after leaving the checkpoint, and found a remote place, so they stopped.

Liu Zhenxuan took people to look around, and after making sure that there was no tail to follow him, he informed Chen Jitao, who was carrying the leprosy corpse on the stretcher, that he could be "resurrected".

Call~~

When Chen Jitao heard this, he immediately got up from the stretcher, and while wiping his sallow face that was painted sallow by Mao Laojiu with his hands, he complained: "Ouch, the stinky salted fish in this quilt can smoke me to death, so much so that I almost vomited out the overnight meal." ”

Immediately caused Guo Ye and them to laugh.

Guo Yele said: "No way, if you don't put some stinky salted fish, where is it like a stinky corpse?" And not to mention that you died of leprosy, you really can't bear the fact that these people will uncover the sheets and check the portrait. When the time comes, won't all the previous efforts be wasted? By the way, Chen Juncheng, how far is it from the east gate of Yangzhou City now? ”

Chen Jitao said: "This place is about five miles away from the east gate, and when you enter the east gate, you will be in Yangzhou City." ”

The eldest grandson next to him reminded him silently: "Guo Ye, Chen Juncheng can't enter the city with us for the time being, at this time, Tong Huan and Zhang Chengzong in Yangzhou City are searching for him all over the world." ”

Guo Ye was stunned for a moment, and really forgot about this stubble.

But Chen Jitao didn't have to worry at all, and said in a low voice: "Guo Tingshi, don't worry about the lower officials." I know that there is a mountain col to the north from here, and there is a Taoist temple on the mountain pass, called Taiqing Temple, which is rarely visited by people on weekdays, and the Lord of Taiqing Guan Guan received the favor of my father-in-law in his early years, and I have no problem hiding there for a while. Tong Huan and Zhang Chengzong knew that I had escaped from Yangzhou City, and they should have thought that I had absconded on the canal, and they would not have thought that I would turn back again. After you and Tong Huan have completed the transfer of the position of assassin, I will be able to return safely. At that time, Tong Huan was transferred to another place, even if Zhang Chengzong wanted to harm me, he would not dare to come blatantly. ”

Guo Ye nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, Tong Huan's purpose is to hide the golden seal of the assassin Shi when I handed over to him, so that I can be nameless." As long as I take out the Assassin Szimmer Seal in front of him, I will forgive him and have nothing to say. When the time comes, you will come back generously, and no one will dare to touch you with me. In this way, I will send you four personal soldiers to follow you, and I will be able to protect you in an emergency. ”

As he spoke, he transferred four soldiers from among the three hundred soldiers to escort Chen Jitao to the Taiqing Temple in the mountain pass.

As soon as Chen Jitao left, Guo Ye said to the eldest grandson Yumo and Liu Zhenxuan: "The top priority is to get the troops of Yangzhou Zhichong Governor's Mansion into our hands as soon as possible. In this way, since Yu Mo has been exposed, it is better to go into the city generously to take over the position of the government officer, and learn more about the movements of Tong Huan and Zhang Chengzong and others at this time, you have the name of the eldest grandson and the third son, and they don't dare to do anything to you. At least on the bright side, you and Zhang Chengzong, Tong Huan and others are all people in the same boat. ”

Eldest Sun Yu nodded silently, agreeing with Guo Ye's statement.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Ye said to Liu Zhenxuan: "Zhenxuan, you enter the east gate with Yu Mo, take the official certificate of Captain Guoyi and take three hundred soldiers, and go to the Zhichong Governor's Mansion to report on your work." Yangzhou's predecessor Zhichong Governor has long been transferred, and at this time, there is no leader in the group in Zhichong's mansion, and Tong Huan has always been in moderation. Take advantage of this opportunity to do your best to take the Commander's Mansion into your hands and temporarily take the position of Governor of Ochong. With Yumo in the mansion taking care of you, it shouldn't be too dangerous. ”

Liu Zhenxuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master Hou, I will do my best." ”

Hearing that Guo Ye didn't seem to have any intention of entering the city, Eldest Sun Yumo couldn't help but ask, "What about you?" Could it be that you don't want to show up to hand over to Tong Huan for the time being? I said, "Why do you bother? Now that you know where Chen Jitao hid the official seal in the Assassin's Mansion, why don't you just go directly into the city and hand over to Tong Huan, and let that guy get out of the way as soon as possible? ”

Guo Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "Since I haven't been exposed, why did I show up so early?" Sometimes you can do more by hiding in the shadows. Besides, don't forget that the candidate for the commander of Zhichong has not yet been decided, and I must now personally visit Chen Lang, the leader of the Salt Gang, and persuade him to take up the post of commander of Zhichong, so that I can use his strength to rectify the law and order in Yangzhou City. Moreover, borrowing the strength of his salt gang is the key to fighting against the Zhang family in Yangzhou. Otherwise, even if the 1,500 soldiers of the Imperial Governor's Mansion listen to my moderation, it is useless, and dealing with a behemoth like the Zhang family is just a drop in the bucket. ”

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Yumo stopped persuading each other, because Guo Ye was telling the truth, but he was negligent and inconsiderate.

Liu Zhenxuan suddenly asked: "Master Hou, Chen Lang, the leader of the Salt Gang, is a reckless man in the rivers and lakes after all, or I will leave the three hundred personal soldiers by your side, and you will be able to deal with whatever happens at that time." ”

Guo Ye shook his head, pointed to the direction of the ferry pier just now, and said with a smile: "Do you think that hundreds of people just now entered the checkpoint, and now they are boiling out of the checkpoint, isn't it in vain to arouse the suspicion of others?" It's not as small as me, and I won't arouse the suspicion of others if I get out of the level again. ”

Liu Zhenxuan was surprised: "Could it be that the station of the Salt Gang is located in the waters of Yangzhou? ”

Guo Ye smiled: "Haha, you are a little mentally retarded in what you asked, could it be that the Salt Gang will still set up the hall in the city, waiting for the Zhang family to serve them in a pot?" In order to prevent being encircled and suppressed by the government, they basically wandered around the waters of Yangzhou, but Su Dingfang had mentioned to me before how to find the Yan Gang, as well as their joint code. He said that as long as he found a fishing boat on the shore, there were three bamboo poles stuck in the bow and stern of the fishing boat, which were the eyeliner and spies arranged by the Salt Gang at the ferry pier. As long as I get on this ship and say the secret number of the Yangang Tangkou, they will take me to see Chen Lang. ”

Liu Zhenxuan sighed, listening to this complicated and secret joint method, he couldn't help but show a worried look on his face.

And the eldest grandson Yumo, who has never dealt with people in the rivers and lakes, even more croaking: "Guo Ye, in case that Chen Lang is a vicious and hateful villain who hates the government, and knows that you are the new Yangzhou assassin and wants to be unfavorable to you, what can you do?" It really doesn't work, let's think of another way? ”

Guo Ye shook his head disappreciatively, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I believe that Chen Lang is a little bit of a wave, but he is not so disregarded as the overall situation, after all, I have a common enemy with him - the Yangzhou Zhang family." Besides, I still have Su Dingfang's handwritten letter on me, no matter how bad it is, this is also a talisman, Chen Lang, a person in the rivers and lakes, is a righteous word. You don't have to worry about that. Okay, you should hurry up, remember my words, and while protecting yourself, you must try your best to take the initiative. The day I expose it, that's when we act together. ”

"Okay, brother, I'm waiting for you in Yangzhou Mansion!"

"Master Hou, you must take care!"

After the eldest grandson Yumo and Liu Zhenxuan finished speaking, they hurriedly led the people and rushed towards the east gate five miles away.

After Guo Ye saw everyone away, he also turned back and headed in the direction of the ferry terminal again.

Soon, he successfully passed the checkpoint, because of the endless stream of people coming and going, no one at the government guards at the checkpoint had an impression of him at all, and seeing that his movements were not suspicious, he hastily let him out of the checkpoint.

He came to the shore near the ferry, and really found a fishing boat, with three bamboo poles stuck in the bow and stern of the fishing boat, exactly like Su Dingfang said.

He boarded the fishing boat and found the boatman, a sturdy man in his thirties.

Guo Ye whispered in his ear the joint code of Su Dingfang's sect, and sure enough, the sturdy man also replied to him, this person was the spy of the Salt Gang.

And he was not the only spy in the vicinity, he blew a whistle, and suddenly three more secret whistles came out of the vicinity, and they all got on the boat.

Guo Ye did not expose his home, but explained his intentions, and several spies of the Salt Gang did not suspect him, and immediately untied the rope tied to the pillar on the shore, raised the sails, and the four of them drove the boat, and took Guo Ye to meet the gang leader Chen Lang.

However, it should be the rules of the Salt Gang, and when the fishing boat reached the center of the river, they asked to blindfold Guo Ye, saying that Guo Ye was not a member of the Salt Gang and could not let him see and remember the route to Tangkou.

Since it is the rule of the Salt Gang, Guo Ye also felt that there was no need to destroy it, so he let it go and let them cover his eyes with a black cloth.

Seeing that Guo Ye was so cooperative, several Salt Gang spies did not embarrass him, and specially arranged for someone to chat with Guo Ye.

Sitting on the fishing boat, although Guo Ye couldn't see with his eyes, he listened to the river breeze hunting in his ears and the waves on the river, he knew that the fishing boat was still advancing, and it was unknown where it had advanced.

After about a long time, suddenly a spy took off his blindfold and said, "This friend, you have arrived at the place, this is our hall, and my helper is here." ”

As soon as the blindfold was removed, he thought that his eyes would be very uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that it was getting dark at this time, and although the moon was not yet high in the sky, the stars had begun to light up vaguely.

He rubbed his eyes, feeling that the boat was still shaking and moving slowly, coupled with the darkness in front of him and the scene he couldn't see clearly, he couldn't help but ask the spies around him in wonder: "Didn't you talk about your hall?" How do I feel like we're still floating on the water? ”

The spy smiled, and suddenly opened his throat and shouted, "Brothers of the Salt Gang, there is a guest, and the lamp is ......."

Instantly

One lamp,

Two lamps,

Three lamps,

Four lamps,

Dozens of lanterns were hung high around the fishing boat, as well as in front of them, and it was visually seen that these lanterns were supported by bamboo poles and hung in the air, illuminating Guo Ye's sight.

His eyes lit up, and he finally knew why he felt that the boat was rocking and moving slowly, but the other party said that it had already arrived at the place.

Dare to be affectionate, the entrance of the Salt Gang is so hidden, grandma's is actually located in the dense reeds.
