On this day, groups of soldiers came from the vicinity of the camphor garden, surrounding the woods, villas, and roads, and no one was allowed to approach. The small village outside the woods was also under martial law, and sentries with guns stood everywhere, all the way to the wharf by the river.

A wooden boat, docked at the riverside wharf, a group of porters, escorted by soldiers, lined up from the wharf to the Zhangyuan villa, like prisoners were searched, an officer stood in front of the speech, asking the porters to be careful, the carrying items must be handled with care, if any Ma Daha dares to break or break a thing, break whose "dog legs".

The porters were a little frightened, under the guard of the soldiers, lined up from the camphor villa, to the boat, wooden boxes, straw bags, wicker boxes, all wrapped tightly, the person in charge kept shouting: "Be careful, walk slowly, no bumping, no direction is allowed to be crooked, if you touch, you will be killed." ”

A young worker, perhaps because of his small strength, the basket on his back was crooked, and he almost fell, and the two men in military uniforms next to him were so frightened that they rushed up, held the basket, and shouted to the other porters next to him, "Quick, carry it with him, dare to drop the goods, and immediately throw them into the river." At the same time, he glared at the little worker, "Don't eat this bowl of rice if you ****** boring." ”

A stout worker next to him said to the little worker: "Come, let's carry it together, don't have an accident, we can't afford to pay." The little worker muttered, "What is so expensive, like a treasure...... and the stout worker quickly pulled him and motioned for him not to say any more.

This stout man is Ah Bing. He has been working as a porter here in the docks for the past few days, and at the same time reconnoitring movements near the camphor garden. Early this morning, when he saw a large number of soldiers coming here, he knew that these precious goods must be going out. Sure enough, martial law soon followed, and their group of workers were led into the camphor garden and began to carry the mysterious items, and the overseer repeatedly warned who dared to make mistakes. Shot on the spot.

During the break, Ah Bing squatted on the edge of the dock and smoked, and another porter came up to see that no one was paying attention around him. Ah Bing whispered: "After the stay will get off work, you go down the hill in front, find Lao Gao, and ask him to report quickly, these goods have been loaded and shipped away." ”

"Going back after work? Can't you delay? ”

"It's fine." Ah Bing said confidently: "They have already arranged the plan of 'waiting for the rabbit', and they are waiting for them on the willow beach pier." ”

The "Willow Beach" wharf mentioned by A Bing is located on the road from the Xiangjiang River to Dongting, and the general freight is only that, before entering the Dongting Lake, it is necessary to add water and food, replenish equipment, and cover the "waiting for the rabbit" plan formulated by the top people, which is precisely to wait for the ships to transport goods here. Hijacking cultural relics secretly transported by Lu Daya.

At this time, Duan Laosan, Shi Suo, Dafeng, Hu Xuan, and a group of members of the armed squad, carrying guns, had quietly hidden in a dragon king temple not far from the Liushutan pier. The Dragon King Temple is very small, generally in the spring when the drought occurs, people come here to ask for rain, only a few days of liveliness, now, the cold winter has not passed, the temple is naturally no one to patronize. It was a barren place, and everyone was huddled together, except for sending sentinels to reconnoitre, they didn't leave their homes. Wait with peace of mind.

After waiting for two days, Shi Suo was a little anxious, and went out several times a day to snoop, Hu Xuan comforted him and said: "It's useless to be anxious, Lao Gao and Ah Bing found that there were no longer cars and people transporting cultural relics in the camphor garden, but were busy transporting a lot of wooden boxes and wicker baskets." The handling team was also informed that it would be loaded shortly. ”

Sure enough, in the evening of that day, Shi Suo went out to reconnoiter again, and when he came back, he said with joy: "Here, finally here, a boat, there are many soldiers on board, and the little ghost is watching there." ”

"Prepare for battle." Duan Laosan said.

Everyone took off their civilian clothes and changed into military uniforms, and a small Anhui army appeared in the Dragon King Temple. Hu Xuan did not change his military uniform, but wore a bronze Zhigong satin coat and a navy blue tweed hat, like a wealthy businessman.

After a short time, a little beggar ran in and said hurriedly, "Hurry up, the soldiers on the ship have all landed." ”

Hu Bolt took the lead, picked up a burden, walked out of the Dragon King Temple, at this time it was the waning West Mountain, a touch of sunset in the west, reflecting the red for a long time, in the river, it was the fishing moratorium, water transportation was also depressed, except for the cargo ship, there was no other boat shadow, he quickened his pace, hurried to the dock.

The wharf here used to be very prosperous, although it was the off-season at this time, but there were still a lot of taverns, inns, shops, and workshops on the shore, and there were cloth signs everywhere, and some guys went out to solicit customers, and the riverside at dusk seemed lively and lively.

The boat was leaning against the shore, setting up a gangplank, and from a distance, there stood two soldiers with guns on the shore, apparently guarding the ship. Hu Xuan avoided the sentry's sight, walked around a pot wine shop, turned a corner, and the little clever came out, ran to Hu Xuan, and pointed to a tavern dozens of meters away, "They all went to the tavern to eat." ”

"Hmm," Hu Bolt agreed, and walked out of the alley and forward.

The two soldiers on the dock walked slowly with big guns on their backs, Hu Shuan walked straight to them, one of the soldiers saw it, glanced at Hu Shuan, and saw that he was dressed like a rich man, and nodded politely, "Sir, who are you looking for?" ”

"Looking for you two," Hu Xuan also nodded with a smile, "I am the second proprietor of the tavern, and I heard from the brothers that there are still two of you standing guard here, specially bringing something to eat, this cold day, it is really hard." As he spoke, he opened the baggage he was carrying, took out a roast chicken and a bottle of soju, and handed it over with a smile on his face, "Eat, eat, thank you for taking care of our shop." ”

At this time, it was dinner time, and the two sentries were already hungry, and the roast chicken exuded an attractive aroma, and one of the sentries reached out and took it, "Hee-hee, okay, thank you." ”

Hu Xuan looked at the boat, "There are still brothers there, I'll send some more." He didn't wait for the two soldiers to agree or disagree, and walked straight towards the boat.

Originally, according to the commander's order, "no one is allowed to get on the boat", but the sentries ate the roast chicken, and saw that Hu Xuan was just a weak businessman, so they hesitated, and Hu Xuan had already boarded the springboard. A clever sentry, who understood that he had come, shouted from behind, "Come back, don't go up." ”

Hu Xuanxiang didn't hear it, and continued to walk forward, and the two sentries shouted: "Come back, you come back." At this time, a group of soldiers boarded the dock.

This group of soldiers, led by Duan Laosan, he saw that Hu Bolt had already boarded the gangplank, and the sentries were stopping Hu Bolt, so he shouted, "Whoever let the idler board the boat, catch him quickly." "With the armed squad, quickly run to the boat.

The two sentries saw the troops coming from behind, heard Duan Laosan's shout, and at first thought that their own team had come back from dinner, but they were afraid that they would be reprimanded by the officials for their dereliction of duty, so they hurriedly continued to stop Hu Shuan, and one of the sentries also ran to the gangplank and shouted to Hu Shuan: "Come back quickly, if you don't come back, I'll shoot." ”

When Duan Laosan ran closer and closer with the team, the post-whistles found that none of these people knew each other, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and they didn't care about the bolt, and quickly picked up the gun from their shoulders, but it was too late, Duan Laosan and Shi Suo rushed up in a few big strides, one stuck one, and next to him, Dafeng, dressed in men's clothes, crossed over with a "pout", and ran onto the springboard with the team members with guns.

Hu Bolt has already walked into the cabin at this time, this wooden boat is very large, it is very stable in the water, in the cabin, there are several boatmen, are eating, the stove in the cabin is smoking, see Hu Bolt come in, a little surprised, Hu Bolt glanced around, saw that there were no soldiers inside, a little relieved, asked: "Are all people here?" ”

"Who are you?" A boatman asked.

Hu Bolt did not answer, at this time outside the boat, there was already a chaotic footstep, mixed with the short exclamation of the two sentries, the people on the boat were a little alert, someone picked up the stick next to him, Hu Bolt said coldly: "Don't move, whoever moves will blow up the ship." He pulled a bomb out of his baggage and held it in his hand.

A bearded boatman said, "We are all hired. ”

"I know that you are hired, as long as you are willing to cooperate, we are friends."

At this time, Dafeng suddenly jumped in from the hatch, "Brother Hu, are you okay?" ”

The boatmen were a little surprised, this kind of hijacking of ships was not uncommon in the current years of warlord scuffle, but the voice of this brave "robber" was obviously a girl, but it was a little surprising.

Then, a group of vigorous soldiers, all with guns, rushed into the cabin, and Hu Shuan put down the bomb in his hand and said to the bearded man: "Lift the anchor and sail the boat." ”

Robbers generally have a rule that they do no harm to hired human workers such as boatmen, coachmen, porters, etc. So the boatmen quickly settled down, and the bearded man commanded several men to dismantle the gangplank, lift the anchor, and after a while, the ship started offshore.

The team members tied up the hands and feet of the two sentries who were holding the ship hostage, blindfolded, and stuffed them in the corner, Hu Bolt was busy going to the cargo hold to look for cultural relics, he asked the shipwright to open the seal of the cargo hold, only to see boxes and baskets of goods, stacked together in a neat and orderly manner, and breathed a long sigh of relief. Dafeng ran in, "Brother Hu, do you want to inspect the goods?" ”

"Yes."

Dafeng took out a dagger, pried open a wooden box, the box was covered with a layer of straw curtains, uncovered the straw curtain, revealing a white porcelain vase, Hu Bolt brushed off the dust on the bottle with his hand, the blue blue and white pattern was presented in front of him, it was a lady picture, a lady with a high bun, a thin waist of willow, holding a fan, the image was vivid, about to come out, Hu Bolt's eyes flashed light, "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful, the Yuan Dynasty, it will definitely not be ......wrong" (to be continued.) )
