Chapter 9 The Familiar Envoy of King Qi

Wu Jin and Chen Ying silently dived into the small river, the river was very deep, enough for them to dive into the water without being discovered, both of them had excellent water surnames, like two water snakes swimming quickly in the river, the river was poured into the river bay from five or six miles away from the warehouse, it was already very remote, close to a mound, overgrown with grass and trees, from time to time there were water snakes frightened away by them, and got into the water and grass near the shore, Wu Jin and Chen Ying emerged from the water, looking around, this is like the westernmost part of the water barracks, there are no soldiers patrolling, Not far away are two abandoned houses.

"Wu Jin, in fact, we can completely escape from the river!"

Chen Ying was pleasantly surprised, but she was immediately discouraged again, "Your eldest brother is a burden, and those two wastes." ”

Wu Jin knew that General Zhao should make other arrangements to let them escape from the river, which was a bit unrealistic, so he shook his head, "It is difficult to escape their pursuit from the land, it is safer to walk on the water, let's see if we can take a boat." ”

"Let's go get the weapon first!"

The two of them dived into the water again, swimming towards the inlet, and they wanted to return to their boat, although their weapons had probably been searched, but they knew that there were still many weapons hidden in a dark compartment in the back compartment, and it was almost impossible for the other party to find them.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them swam into their big ship, and it was very quiet all around, only a group of patrolmen patrolling back and forth on the dock, and the two of them quickly climbed onto the big ship along the iron anchor chain, and there was no one on the deck, and the hatch was closed, and there was a seal, and it was clear that the other party was not worried about them boarding, and even if they boarded, they would not be able to take away fifty large boxes of silver, which required special equipment to be hoisted off the ship.

They tore open the seal, entered the cabin, and ran to their cabin without a cat's waist, but Chen Ying grabbed him, "Where are you going?" ”

"There's one more thing in my cabin."

"I'll go with you!"

The two came to Wujin's cabin, Chen Ying's eyes swept around, and when he saw that the cabin was empty and there was nothing, he complained to him, "What's there?" ”

Wu Jin smiled mysteriously, groped around the bulkhead, opened a dark grid, Chen Ying's eyes widened, this ship was the ship of the Phoenix Society, how could he know that there was a dark grid here?

"This is specially arranged for me by your second uncle!"

Wu Jin smiled and took out a big bag from the dark compartment, it was the shark skin bag that was very tightly sealed, Chen Ying had never seen Wu Jin and this bag, she stepped forward and touched it, and asked him in surprise: "What is in this?" Pretty heavy. ”

"It's a baby! I was afraid that the officer surnamed Zhao would be cheating, so I didn't dare to take it down, and now I can take it back. ”

"But, if you take such a heavy thing, how can you take a weapon?"

Chen Ying calculated that they would have to take at least thirty knives, but if Wu Jin wanted to take this big bag, he wouldn't be able to take so many knives.

"Don't take the knife, the officer surnamed Zhao should have an arrangement."

Wu Jin came to the boat to get his big leather bag, and the knife was just an excuse, Chen Ying had been listening to him, since she didn't have to take a knife, she followed Wu Jin out of the cabin, and then slid into the water along the anchor chain, there was air in the bag, which could float on the water, they were just about to leave, at this time, Wu Jin suddenly saw a small boat coming this way, with a lantern on the boat, Wu Jin hurriedly pulled Chen Ying, and the two hid in a dark corner.

The boat slowly approached, and I saw a man in his thirties standing at the bow of the boat, who looked very distinctive, with a long and rectangular face, just like a mahjong card, Wu Jin Jue was very familiar at this time, but Chen Ying recognized him at a glance, and whispered in Wu Jin's ear: "Isn't he your second senior brother?" ”

Wu Jin suddenly remembered that it was his second senior brother Liu Sijun when he was studying art in Laoshan in the past, he was originally a rich child, and he became a beggar more than ten years ago because of the decline of his family, and almost died of starvation.

This person's martial arts are ordinary, but very cunning, he left Ryukyu Island a year and a half ago to return to Laoshan, it was when he met this second senior brother, and he mixed with him in Qizhou for a year, and now Wu Jin only knows, at that time, they were hired killers to run a single gang, Liu Sijun went to take orders, used his stupidity to make him sell his life, and gave him a dozen taels of silver after every case, he felt good at the time.

Wu Jin's heart suddenly moved, could it be that the second senior brother was the envoy of King Qi? At this time, he heard the sound of a carriage, and saw a carriage coming quickly, two soldiers on horseback followed the carriage, the carriage stopped on the shore not far from them, Du Lieutenant Wu Huazhen got down from the carriage and walked quickly towards the dock, and the two guards also turned over and dismounted and followed him.

Wu Jin saw that there was no one on the side of the carriage except the coachman, and a thought came to his heart, so he turned his head and whispered to Chen Ying: "You help me get the bag back, I'll go with the carriage, I want to hear what they say?" ”

Chen Ying shook her head, "I'll go!" ”

She went ashore lightly, Wu Jin didn't catch her, and watched her run away, he had to admit that Chen Ying's light skills were far superior to him, only to see Chen Ying's figure as fast as a ghost, and in an instant he ran to the side of the carriage, got into the bottom of the carriage, and disappeared.

"Huh! Why did Mr. Liu arrive early? ”

Not far away, Wu Huazhen's laughter came, and he had specially come to greet Liu Sijun, the special envoy of the King of Qi.

The boat docked, and a scholar illuminated Liu Sijun with a lantern to go ashore, he arched his hand and smiled: "No way, I received a pigeon letter from King Qi on the way, so I had to come day and night, General Wu, has the boat intercepted?" ”

"Don't worry! Can I stop it? Unless they don't go to Qizhou. ”

The two laughed and walked towards the carriage, and soon they got into the carriage and galloped in the direction of the barracks.

Wu Jin looked at the bottom of the car with some concern, and it was not until the carriage was out of sight that he pushed the big leather bag back from the same way....... The carriage raced on the narrow dirt road, jolting up and down so badly that Chen Ying was firmly sucked under the car like a gecko, and the conversation in the car reached her ears clearly.

"Mr. Liu, did Your Highness say what to do if you intercept the silver?"

"Have you checked all the silver?"

"I've seen it, it's all silver ingots with white flowers, there are fifty large boxes, and there are signs on the boxes, a big box of 20,000 taels, a million taels of silver! It's a panic in the eyes. ”

"Don't dream, it's the tax silver of the East Palace, and His Royal Highness doesn't dare to be greedy, so he wants to use this batch of silver to bargain with the prince!"

"And what about these people?"

Chen Ying became nervous all of a sudden, her ears were tightly pressed to the bottom of the car, and it took a while to hear Liu Sijun say: "I received an urgent order from His Highness on the road, His Highness means that the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, except for the head of the household, the rest of the people will be killed!" ”

Chen Ying was shocked in her heart, and almost fell off the carriage, she stabilized her mind, and heard Wu Huazhen ask: "I will finish this matter tonight, I don't know what happened to Uncle Shen's side?" ”

"Uncle Shen Guo dispatched the embroidered internal guards, and it was the famous general Shao Jingwen who was responsible for intercepting them, but they went the wrong way and went to the Yellow River, it is estimated that they will get the news soon, you must have their people in this barracks, but it's too late, General Wu, you can make a great contribution this time, just wait for the reward!"

"Where? Where? I would also like to ask Mr. Liu to speak for me in front of His Royal Highness. ”

"Well said! Say! ”

The carriage crossed an earthen bridge and began to go up a low post, Chen Ying saw the warehouse under the hill from the gap under the car, and saw the sparkling river in the moonlight, this was her chance to leave, she didn't listen anymore, her body broke away from the carriage, and her habitual surname rolled forward with her, but her body was extremely flexible, and her hand gently supported the ground, and her body gently and skillfully turned into the grass on the side of the road with her habitual surname, and then rolled again, and then disappeared into the river silently.

........ Wu Jin's speed in the water was slightly slow, and the sharkskin bag that looked like a small table top sank and floated in the water, and he was very careful, although the needle and thread had sewn the edges densely and the inner membrane was lined inside, he was still careful not to let the water soak into the bag.

He swam silently in the water, when he came most of the time he was diving, did not pay attention to the surrounding situation, then he began to carefully observe the surrounding situation, this area is actually a gentle hill, about twenty or thirty zhang high, layer by layer upward, under the moonlight, there is a faint post on the top of the mountain, the military camp is hundreds of steps away from the mountainside, where a piece of land of dozens of acres is leveled, a small river is meandering from the foot of the mountain, the grass on both sides is luxuriant, the artemisia grass grows more than one person high, people dive in the small river, It's hard to spot.

The warehouse was built close to the river, a lonely row, he came from the arc, you can see the situation in front of the warehouse, dozens of soldiers guarded near the gate of the warehouse, three or three in twos and two gathered together to talk, there is a small ditch about two hundred steps away from the west of the warehouse, which extends to the dock a few miles away, there is no light in the small ditch, it should be a dry ditch.

Wu Jin looked at the position of the moon, the night was already very deep, and he couldn't help but speed up and sneak towards the warehouse.

Suddenly, his arm touched something, very soft, as if it was a water snake, and then someone grabbed his arm in the water, and he was shocked, 'Wow! With a bang, the head rushed out of the water, and the person opposite also surfaced, it turned out to be Chen Ying.

"Why are you here?" Wu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Chen Ying was worried about his safety, so he came to pick him up.

Chen Ying wiped the water from her face, and a mischievous smile appeared in her bright eyes, "Hee-hee! I'm in a carriage, faster than you, I've been waiting for you for a long time, I'll help you push this bag, it's so heavy! What the hell is the treasure inside? ”

"It's a good thing anyway, be careful not to get into the water."

Wu Jin pushed the bag to her, and asked her with a smile, "What news did you hear?" ”

"Your second senior brother is going to kill us."

This was expected by Wu Jin, "What else?" He asked again.

"Let's go back and talk about it! They seemed to have found something in the warehouse and told us to hurry back. ”

"Hmmm! Let's talk about it later. The two men sped up and swam towards the warehouse.......
