Fortunately, after entering the Yangtze River through the canal and entering Sichuan by water, these two officials of Shuntianfu who had been following them suddenly handed over their errands to the officials of Sichuan, which finally made the Huang family breathe a sigh of relief, although they couldn't understand what the problem was.

After the official mission of Shuntianfu left, the Sichuan official who took over did not embarrass them, and the Huang family continued to trace the river. Because Huang Shulan gritted her teeth and hated foreign things, she resolutely refused to take a small steamer and only took a sailboat, although there were officials from Shuntianfu who repeatedly urged her, but the speed of travel was still extremely slow, and after entering the territory of Sichuan Province, there were only a few days left before the specified date.

And now what worries Huang Shulan the most is his father.

Huang's father was addicted to smoking in his later years, and like many Qingliu celebrities, they boycotted foreigners' things everywhere, but they had a soft spot for this foreign cigarette. Huang's father was very addicted to smoking, but when he was addicted, he was not yawning or tearing like ordinary people, but was extremely manic, reprimanding his family servants lightly, beating and scolding them at worst, and always teaching people with the big hat of "safeguarding the Holy Religion", which made Huang Shulan distressed.

On the road this time, he prepared a lot of cigarette bubbles in advance for his father, but because he was not allowed to stop halfway, he could not buy them, because although he saved many ways, after entering the Sichuan realm, he was almost exhausted.

His father's "teachings" to him just now were actually telling him that his addiction to smoking was not enough!

The current Huang Shulan, after being robbed of white by the boatman for a while, does regret not taking the small steamer.

And Huang Shulan didn't know that his life and his family's life were about to come to an end.

"Eldest sister, you're about to go to Chaotianmen Wharf."

On a small boat not far from the wooden boat where the Huang family was riding, Heizi put down the binoculars in his hand and turned his head to Zhu Xueyan and said.

Zhu Xueyan nodded and looked at the river around him vigilantly.

"Don't worry, eldest sister, that hard-clawed ship was already ahead of us three days ago." Bai Jinqi saw Zhu Xueyan's solemn expression, and said with a smile, "I guess he has already discovered us, and he didn't dare to do it, so he gave up because he saw that he was about to reach the ground." ”

"Three days ago? Why didn't I see it? Zhu Xueyan was stunned.

"That kid took a small steamer, and he went fast, and it passed in a flash." Bai Jinqi smiled and said, "At that time, the eldest sister was just tired, and she took a nap for a while, so she didn't see it." ”

"Are you sure it's the hard claw that's chasing them?" Zhu Xueyan's brows habitually furrowed.

"Yes, big sister." Bai Jinqi nodded, "If you don't believe the eldest sister, you can ask Kuroko, he also saw it." ”

"That's right, big sister, it's that kid." Kuroko also said on the side, "His daughter-in-law and little follower are also on the boat." ”

"His daughter-in-law is very handsome, I don't know what 'skills' are." Bai Jinqi smiled in a pun, but he quickly noticed the anger in Zhu Xueyan's eyes, realized that she was also a woman, and couldn't help but immediately cover his mouth.

"He's on a little steamer?" Zhu Xueyan ignored Bai Jinqi's slightly obscene words (most of the brothers in the meeting are men, and there are many lustful people, and sometimes it is inevitable that one or two foul words will be broken, and they are also used to these heroines and don't care), but thought of another thing.

"Yes! And the owner of the small steamer is still a foreigner. Bai Jinqi said, "That little steamer doesn't look like a ship carrying passengers, but a bit like an official ship." ”

"Then this person, I'm afraid it's not a lone thief, but a little like a ......" Zhu Xueyan looked at everyone.

Although she didn't finish speaking, everyone immediately understood what she meant, and their faces changed color.

"Didn't the eldest sister say that this person ...... Could it have been sent by the government? Kuroko asked hesitantly.

"It may be that the killers sent by those fake foreign devils are going to be Lord Huang's family!" Xiao Liu expressed the worry in Zhu Xueyan's heart.

"In that case, he'll be waiting for us right now." Lao Cao, who had not spoken, said with some worry, "I don't know what foreign things he will get to deal with us......"

"Yes! I heard that the 'six-barreled magic cannon' (referring to the Gatling gun) was made by the dog officer surnamed Lin, who had fought pirates on the sea, and it was extremely powerful. If the little steamer they were on was loaded with this thing and waited in front, not to mention that our boat and Lord Huang's boat were the boats of the brothers on the water (probably referring to the water thieves on the Yangtze River), I am afraid that they would not be able to stop it. There was a rare flash of fear in Bai Jinqi's eyes.

"I don't know if they have it! Don't fall into your own spirit first! Zhu Xueyan saw the look of fear on everyone's faces, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Whether that person is a killer sent by the government or not, I haven't figured out yet!" ”

After listening to Zhu Xueyan's words, everyone quieted down.

"If he really has that cannon on his boat and walks ahead of us, he should take advantage of the fact that there are no passing ships on the river in the past two days, and that is the best time to do it, but now that three days have passed, and he has not made any moves, which is unreasonable." Zhu Xueyan analyzed for everyone, "It may also be like Lao Bai said, when he saw us, he didn't want to do this list of business anymore." ”

"What the eldest sister said makes sense." Bai Jinqi scratched his head a little embarrassed as he spoke. He was a man who had seen many "big scenes", and he should not have behaved in such a panic, and the reason for this was because the power of the Gatling gun was too terrifying - many pirates with whom he had crossed paths were now dead by the muzzle of this machine gun.

"Having said that, it doesn't mean that he is not from the government." Zhu Xueyan said, "Although the cannon is powerful, it is a firearm after all, it is very quiet when it fights, and the sound can be heard far away, it is impossible not to be noticed, and that thing is very large and not easy to conceal, so he may not be able to use it." I guess he probably wants to do it on the shore anyway. So when we get to the shore, we'll have to be extra careful. ”

"That's what the eldest sister said." Lao Cao nodded and said, "Fortunately, it won't go far, it's Chaotianmen Wharf, and he has come ashore, even if he is really a killer sent by the government, and if he wants to do something to Lord Huang, we don't need to be afraid of him." ”

"Yes! The five of us plus the eldest sister, if we can't deal with the three of them, then our Heaven and Earth Society will not have to mix in the rivers and lakes. Bai Jinqi said with a smile to cheer himself up.
