Hundreds of Wu Huazhen's henchmen soldiers held torches in their hands, illuminating the deck like daylight, dozens of people slowly transported a large silver box up from the bottom bilge, Liu Sijun put his hands behind his back, his face was gloomy, Wu Huazhen rubbed his hands uneasily on the side, he was a little nervous in his heart, although he had seen the contents of the box with his own eyes, they were all white flower strips of silver ingots, but he also had a little drum in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

The large silver box was transported onto the deck, "Open!" Liu Sijun ordered coldly.

A few soldiers came up and used a duckbill iron crowbar to pry open the wooden box, and the silver ingots piled up in the wooden box 'Boom!' There was a crash, and the sound was quite crisp.

Wu Huazhen's heart suddenly hung up, the silver collided is not this sound, and these silver ingots seem to be brighter than the silver he usually sees Liu Sijun stepped forward to pick up a silver ingot, looked at it, turned back to him and said, "General Wu, come and see your silver ingots for yourself!" ”

Wu Huazhen's legs trembled, and he slowly stepped forward to pick up one, the silver ingot was about a foot long, weighing about twenty catties, and it was heavy to start, it was not silver at all, he was stunned for a moment, his lips trembled, "This.... This is? "General Wu, this is lead, not silver!" Liu Sijun glanced at him coldly.

．．．．．．．． But Ming'ah! With a loud scream, his face was pale with pain, and his forehead was sweating profusely, Wu Jin used a dagger to tear the arrow out of Wei Ming's leg, and the arrow was hitting the artery of his left leg, bleeding a lot, Wu Jin disinfected his wound with wine, and wrapped a ball of hemostatic ointment on the wound, "Gauze!" He was like a surgeon who performed surgery, whispering orders to Yu Hailan, who was like a nurse next to him.

Yu Hailan handed him a bundle of gauze, and the two of them worked together, bandaging Weiming's wound layer by layer, the hemostatic medicine of the Phoenix Society was very effective, and in just a moment, the blood gradually coagulated and no longer gushed.

"Big brother, don't move now, the wound will burst as soon as you move!" Wu Jin repeatedly told Wei Ming.

Wei Ming, who was very weak from blood loss, asked in a low voice, "Where are we now?" ”

"We are on the Daqing River, we have already left the barracks, and they have not chased after us."

"And everybody's safe!" Chen Zhu added with a smile next to him.

"Alas! It's just that our mission failed. Wei Ming smiled bitterly, his eyes were very helpless, and his heart was heavy.

"Big brother, in fact, we didn't fail!" Wu Jin smiled, a smug look flashing in his eyes.

Wei Ming was stunned, "You.... What do you mean? ”

"Big brother, wait for me!"

Wu Jin smiled mysteriously, turned around and went out, and after a while, he came in with a heavy shark skin bag, and Chen Ying also followed, "Wu Jin, tell me, what is in here?" How like a stack of paper. ”

Wei Ming struggled to sit up, but Chen Zhu hurriedly followed him, "Don't move!" ”

Wei Ming didn't dare to move, and he asked strangely: "Wu Jin, what is in the bag?" ”

Wu Jin wanted to pick a seam, but the bag was too strong, if he picked it, it would be very easy to damage the bag, so he had no choice but to give up, so he patted the bag and smiled at everyone: "I can tell you that there are a thousand Qi Dafu silver tickets here, each with a denomination of 1,000 taels of silver." ”

"One million taels!"

Chen Ying exclaimed in a low voice, although she was the daughter of the island owner and her family was wealthy, this big leather bag actually contained a million taels of silver, which really scared her.

Wei Ming's eyes widened, he looked at Wu Jin incredulously, then at the leather bag, and after a while, he stammered and asked, "This is.... Tax silver? ”

"Of course, this is the real East Palace tax silver, eldest brother is very sorry, Lord Su has repeatedly told me not to tell anyone." Wu Jin smiled apologetically.

Wei Ming was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and Chen Zhu scratched his head in disbelief, "What are those fifty boxes of silver?" I saw a little bit when I changed ships, and it was white silver! ”

"It's not silver, it's lead, it's the stock of our emperor's storehouse."

The lead is also the zinc ingot of later generations, Wu Jin saw that everyone still didn't understand, so he further smiled and explained: "You look at the silver of white flowers, it looks very similar from the outside, but it is not, you will know it when you get it, you can think about it, obviously there is a silver ticket to pass, why do you have to carry such a heavy silver box?" ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and looked at the black shark leather bag again, and after a long time, they desperately protected it all the way, and it turned out to be this leather bag. Wei Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, although Su Hanzhen's concealment of him made him feel a little uncomfortable, but as long as the tax money was still there, then his task did not fail, and his future was still bright, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Wu Jin, well done!

Wei Ming sighed, smiled and asked him, "Then what should we do next?" They will surely find out and chase after them. ”

Wu Jin nodded, "I was just about to discuss with you, Second Brother Chen, please call Chen Biao and Chen Hu here." ”

After hesitating, he smiled again: "Invite the Qi brothers to come with you!" ”

"What are they doing! That nerdy idiot! ”

Chen Ying scolded in a low voice, she was still haunted by Qi Sheng's scream just now, Wei Ming next to her heard her scolding, his face immediately became gloomy, he really hated this dark-skinned woman, although she had protected her wife and daughter, but still couldn't change his dislike for Chen Ying in his bones.

"Ah Ying!" Yu Hailan touched her lightly and whispered: "He is just a scholar, he has never experienced this kind of thing, don't be harsh on him." ”

Chen Ying snorted coldly and turned her head, she was absolutely true to the person she hated, but Ming listened very comfortably in her heart, and her good impression of Yu Hailan increased a few points, this is a gentle woman who is empathetic, marrying a wife should be like this, he nodded to Yu Hailan with a smile, and his eyes were full of approval.

But Yu Hailan didn't seem to understand his intentions, and his overtures to him were like not seeing it, and he lowered his head and laughed with Chen Ying, which moved Wei Ming's heart with an inexplicable loss.

After a while, Chen Biao, Chen Hu and the Qi brothers came one after another, Qi Sheng was still very ashamed to expose everyone's whereabouts because he was afraid of snakes, and he was sitting far away in the corner, Qi Pei was sitting with Wei Ming, he also disliked this group of pirates very much, and disdained to be with them.

"Now that everyone is here, I'll get started."

Wu Jin took out a map from another leather bag, shook it open and hung it on the bulkhead, and everyone recognized it at a glance that it was the map of Qizhou.

"This is the Daqing River, and we're in this location now."

Wu Jin drew a small black dot on the map with his black charcoal pencil, "This is about ninety miles from the nearest Boxing county, there is a town of Bochang in the north, and there are some villages in the south, what we mean is that we should go our separate ways and use this warship as cover." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Jin glanced at Wei Ming tentatively, he wanted to see the reaction of the eldest brother to his proposal, seeing Wei Ming's thoughtful eyes, he knew that he was also a little tempted, so he smiled at him: "Big brother, I mean you go ashore immediately, first go to Yidu Mansion to hide for a few days, wait for the boat to go away, and then take the land route from the south to Beijing, while I will stay on the boat and continue to go west to lure them to chase by water." ”

"I'm very much in favor of Wu Jin's plan!"

Chen Zhu took over the conversation and said to everyone: "It is definitely a strange soldier to go south from here, Ying Mei also heard their conversation, Uncle Shen's people are coming from the Yellow River to this side, they must go to the military camp first, and then chase along the river, they would never have thought that we would hide in Yidu Mansion, the old nest of the King of Qi, and when they can't find anyone, we have already gone around Luojing from the south." ”

He smiled at Wu Jin again: "We still have a set of identities, which is the Shunfeng Dart Bureau of Yongjia County, and we will enter Beijing with this identity, so we can ensure safety." ”

Wu Jin's eyes looked at Wei Ming again, asking for his opinion, Wei Ming pondered for a long time, and he finally agreed to part ways, he nodded, "Okay! We went our separate ways, and I escorted the silver ticket. ”

Wu Jin shook his head, "I'm sorry big brother, Lord Su has a strict order, the silver ticket can only be escorted by me, I didn't want to tell you, but seeing that the eldest brother is very frustrated, I can't bear it, but I can't give you the silver ticket, after arriving in Luo Jing, I can hand it over to you." ”

Wei Ming still wanted to fight again, but Qi Pei, who was close to him, quietly touched him with the back of his hand behind him, Wei Ming understood what Qi Pei meant, they were just weak scholars, where could they protect the silver ticket, in fact, they were escorted by the Chen brothers, these people are pirates! Isn't it like letting them escort the silver ticket into the mouth of a tiger? It's better to leave it to Wujin at ease.

Thinking about this, Wei Ming stopped insisting, "Okay! Since it is Master Su's strict order, I will not force you, so how can we people part ways? ”

Wu Jin already had a belly case, so he smiled and said: "Chen Ying and I stayed on the boat and continued westward, Second Brother Chen and Chen Biao, Chen Hu, Senior Sister Yu and Big Brother, as for the subordinates, we will leave ten people." ”

Chen Ying glanced at Wei Ming vigilantly and shook her head, "Senior sister come with us!" ”

She turned back to Yu Hailan and asked, "Senior sister, is it okay?" ”

Yu Hailan was also reluctant to go with Wei Ming, she preferred to go with Wu Jin, so she nodded and agreed with Chen Ying's plan.

Wei Ming glanced at Chen Ying, a trace of imperceptible annoyance flashed in his eyes, this annoyance was only fleeting, and he smiled: "This is the best, give Wu Jin one more helper." ”

Everyone immediately made the decision to go their separate ways, at this time it was two watches, the ship docked, Wei Ming lay on a stretcher, Qi Pei and Qi Sheng followed, the three Chen brothers and twenty men went ashore, and under the cover of night, they went in the direction of Yidu Fu, and the military ship continued to move west.

....... "Wu Jin, why is your eldest brother like that?" ”

As soon as Wujin returned to the cabin, Chen Ying lowered his face gloomily to express his dissatisfaction, "Can't he still see it?" Senior Sister didn't want to pay attention to him at all. ”

"Sister Ying, don't say it!" Yu Hailan next to her was flushed, she bit her lip, and hugged her hands with her fingers crossed, powerlessly stopping Chen Ying's emotional impulses. I'm biased to say! ”

Chen Ying's black bright eyes flashed with anger, her lips were pursed tightly, all the naughty humor was gone, and her voice was cold and angry, "He hated me just now and thought I didn't see it, didn't he spoil his wishful thinking, hmph!" also pretended to agree, a hypocrite. ”

Wu Jin's gaze crossed Chen Ying's shoulder, glanced at Yu Hailan, and saw that her eyes were very uneasy and helpless, she obviously didn't want Chen Ying to say any more, Wu Jin could understand Senior Sister Yu's inner embarrassment, so he pressed Chen Ying's shoulder and smiled: "Okay!" All right! He's also your big cousin, give him some face! ”

"I didn't.... Cousin! Chen Ying quickly glanced at Wu Jin's hand, her attention was diverted, and there was a panic in her heart.

"Then give me a face, okay?"

Chen Ying's face flushed, and she stopped saying no more strangely, Yu Hailan lowered her head and pretended to study the map, as if she hadn't seen anything, and after a while, she looked up and asked Wu Jin with a smile, "Are we going on like this?" ”

"If we go on like this, our hair will be gray."

Wu Jin also realized that his inadvertent actions just now had created a little embarrassing atmosphere, and he tried his best to alleviate this embarrassment, so he smiled in a humorous tone: "Let's go to the Yellow River again in two days!" ”
