Yang Qiuchi knew that Yunlu had become the princess of Qingxi, and she had brought an army that she needed the most at the moment, so she was overjoyed, and she didn't have time to tell her parting feelings, so she simply said that her escort team was intercepting ships by the Jialing River to help the smuggling salt fleet, and she might be in danger. Yunlu immediately ordered the troops to rush to the Jialing River for reinforcements.

The Jialing River was already dark at the moment, and the corpses were everywhere, so it was relatively easy for them to find the scene where the two sides were fighting.

At this time, Nangong Xiong and them were also in a crisis, under the siege of hundreds of gangs of the boat gang, the escort team suffered many casualties, and even Nangong Xiong was wounded.

At this critical juncture, Yunlu's heavily armored ironclad cavalry arrived, and this place happened to be a river beach and relatively open. Zhang Xiaojiang, the deputy leader of the army, waved the long knife in his hand and ordered the charge. Five hundred iron horsemen slaughtered into the boat gang, and fought like chopping melons and vegetables.

This time, although there were many more people than the Jinyi guards just now, they were all rabble, and there was no armor protection, and they had no combat experience in group combat, and the bows and arrows in their hands did not pose a threat to the heavy iron armor, and after the melee together, the bows and arrows had no effect.

So, it would be more accurate to say that this time it was not so much a fierce battle as a massacre.

When the boat gang saw the officers and soldiers rushing towards them, most of them already knew that they had been fooled, and it was really the Jinyi Guards and the Yamen who were surrounding and fighting by themselves, but now they knew that it was too late, and the big mistake had been made.

Under the charge of five hundred heavily armed iron horsemen, the dead and wounded were all over the field, and the remaining souls were scattered, and they knelt down and surrendered.

Yang Qiuchi, Yun Lu and the others stood on a small hillside, seeing that the battle was one-sided and their own side had won a complete victory, so they were relieved.

This time the situation was reversed, thanks to Yun Lu's timely arrival with the iron horse, and Yun Lu was also overjoyed that he could help Yang Qiuchi.

Nangong Xiong went ashore with the escort team, reported to Yang Qiuchi that he had intercepted the boat gang's private salt fleet, and captured the leader Lu Wanli's younger brother Lu Jianzhong, and Lin Xiang, who surrendered to Cheng, also escaped in this melee.

After cleaning the battlefield and counting the casualties, Yang Qiuchi's escort team killed nearly 20 people, seriously injured seven or eight people, and the others were also wounded, and even Nangong Xiong, Xu Shiling and other six personal guards with super martial arts were also painted. There were only five or six people left in Zhan Zhengzhan and Zhan Zhutou's leaders, and they were all wounded, and the rest were all killed in battle. The tragedy of this great war can be seen from this.

Yang Qiuchi instructed Zhang Xiaojiang to lead the Iron Cavalry to escort the captured Jinyi Guard traitors, boat gang gangs, and the intercepted smuggled salt fleet back to Baoning Mansion, and he took Yunlu and others and the escort team to rush back to Baoning Mansion to arrest Lu Yuanli.

They came late, because Zhou Baihu's Jinyi Guards had been corroded by the boat gang, so Fan Zongqi and other Jinyi Guards who were sent to control not only did not control Lu Yanli, but instead reported the news.

Lu Yanli immediately sent personnel to follow up and observe, and found that the five hundred Beijing battalion heavy cavalry led by Princess Qingxi, who had just rushed to Baoning Mansion, rescued Yang Qiuchi and them, and wiped out the boat gang on the Jialing River in one fell swoop.

Yang Qiuchi led the escort team and Yunlu's 500 iron cavalry into the Jinyi Wei 100 Households in Boryeong Mansion and ordered the seizure of all the boat gang industries in Boryeong Mansion.

Now that he is protected by Yunlu's personal guards, Yang Qiuchi is already very safe, he is worried about Song Qing and the others in Bazhou City, except for Nangong Xiong and other personal guards who stay by his side, he assigns the rest of the guards and Zhan Zheng to rush back to Bazhou immediately in the starry night.

Subsequently, Yang Qiuchi immediately interrogated Zhou Fahai, the traitor of Jinyiwei, Lu Jianzhong, the person in charge of the smuggling salt fleet, and Luo Mutian, the Tongzhi of Baoning Prefecture, and others, and found out that the Jinyiwei Baihu Office of Baoning Prefecture colluded with the boat gang, and under the protection of Luo Mutian, the prefect who was in charge of salt transportation, they had been engaged in large-scale trafficking of illicit salt in an organized manner for a long time, as well as kidnapping, murder, extortion, and other things.

In addition, the murder of the wife and children of Shen Fengsong, the former governor of Bazhou, was also investigated, and this case was planned by Lu Yanli and Zhou Fahai, and instructed the boat gang to carry out the three.

After continuous interrogation and arrest, the crimes committed by the boat gang and Zhou Fahai's Jinyi Wei Baihu have been largely investigated. Yang Qiuchi drafted a secret report and used 800 miles to expedite the report to the commander of Jinyiwei.

The secret report reported the facts of the crime that had been clarified, and the fact that Zhou Fahai led the rebel Jinyi Guard to attempt to kill the commander and envoy Yang Qiuchi, and that the boat gang gathered the gang to besiege and inspect the Jinyi Wei and the Capture Fleet, resulting in many casualties in the Jinyi Guard and the Capture Speed. Special emphasis was also placed on the important role of Princess Yunlu of Qingxi in commanding the heavy armored cavalry of the Beijing camp in this fierce battle.

In addition, the secret report also attached portraits of Lu Yanli, Fan Zongqi, Wang Xiongjian, and others who were rebelling in the fugitive boat gang and Jinyiwei, and demanded that a nationwide sea capture be carried out.

What made Yang Qiuchi uneasy was that after interrogation and investigation, it was found that the Baoning Mansion Boat Gang that Lu Wanli was responsible for was only one branch of the huge boat gang in Sichuan, and Lu Wanli was only the big shopkeeper of this branch.

Moreover, the current evidence can only prove that Lu Yuanli's boat gang is engaged in illegal salt trading, and even if other boat gang branches know about it, if there is no evidence to prove that they have engaged in illegal salt trading, they cannot be investigated and punished.

He has only unlocked the tip of the iceberg of the Boat Gang, and the important leaders such as Lu Yuanli, the big treasurer of this corner, have not yet been arrested, and it seems that his struggle with the Boat Gang is only the beginning.

The day was busy until late at night, and then I had time to rest.

Song Yun'er, Hong Aya, and Yun Lu accompanied Yang Qiuchi until the preliminary work was finished late at night, and then they had to sit together and talk.

Everyone's most curious thing is, of course, how Yunlu became a princess, Yunlu smiled and said, everyone felt that everything was really changeable, but they didn't expect Yunlu to save the current emperor by chance and was named a princess, Yunlu rushed to see Yang Qiuchi, and happened to save them.

Yang Qiuchi officially thanked Yunlu at this time. Yunlu was both relieved and a little afraid that she was able to rescue her sweetheart in time at the most critical moment.

It was late at night, and we had just experienced a thrilling day, and everyone was very tired, so we went back to our rooms to sleep.

After Hong Aya served Yang Qiuchi to lie down, she cleaned up herself, and then she untied her clothes and went to bed, snuggling in Yang Qiuchi's arms like a docile kitten.

Yang Qiuchi hugged her, thinking of escaping death during the day, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid, and thought that Hong Aya rushed out to kill without burden, and in order to avoid falling into the hands of Zhou Baihu, a group of beasts, he would rather commit suicide than live alone, he couldn't help but feel excited, and said softly: "Hong Aya, you are so good!" ”

Hong Aya smiled slightly, and asked a little strangely, "Master, why did you suddenly boast that Hong Aya is here?" ”

Yang Qiuchi's face was blank, and he deliberately said angrily: "What old man young leaves!" I don't like it, the two of us were born and died, it can be said that life and death are the same fate, why are we still living like this? ”

Hong Aya's heart warmed, and she approached Yang Qiuchi more closely, and said softly: "Thank you for treating Hong Aya like this, with the words of the master, even if Hong Aya dies immediately, she will be happy." ”

"What a dead or alive! You said that life and death are my people, and I can't make my own decisions about life and death in the future, you know? You're going to scare me to death today. Don't do that again! ”

"Hmm~! Red Aya listens to the master for everything. ”

"It's called Master again!" Yang Qiuchi rubbed her nose and snorted, "Why don't you listen to me?" I said, don't call me lord! ”

"That'...... So what do I call you? Red Aya's voice was sweet and glutinous to the bottom of people's hearts.

"Call me by name, call me Brother Akichi. Didn't you just call it during the day? ”

During the day, Yang Qiuchi and they were surrounded by Zhou Baihu's brocade guards, and when life and death hung by a thread, before Hong Aya was ready to commit suicide with a wolf's tooth arrow, he once called him "Brother Qiuchi".

Hong Aya's body shook slightly, remembering the danger of the day, and couldn't help but be a little afraid, at that time she had decided to commit suicide, the name that she had repeatedly called in her heart, at the last moment of her life, she couldn't help but call it out, after the crisis at this moment, listening to Yang Qiuchi mention it, she couldn't help but be a little shy, and hid in Yang Qiuchi's arm without saying a word.

Yang Qiuchi shook her shoulder: "Talk, are you asleep?" ”

"No," said Hong Aya's glutinous voice, "If the master doesn't sleep, how dare Red Aya sleep?" ”

"Look at you! I've told you it n times! Yang Qiuchi was in a hurry, and even modern terms came out, "Don't call the master, call Brother Qiuchi!" ”

Hong Aya didn't know how many times Yang Qiuchi had said n times, so she didn't ask carefully, and said: "Hong Aya doesn't dare, the three grandmothers have set the rules, and they can't scream indiscriminately, otherwise, they will have to be served by the family law." Besides, this rule is set by Mrs. Tai and Mrs., how dare we, as maidservants, break the rules. ”

"This mud doll will make trouble all day long, what's the use of setting these messy rules!" Yang Qiuchi exhaled.

Hong Aya gently stroked Yang Qiuchi's cheek: "The rules have to be set, otherwise, we are such a big family, there is no rule, so it won't be messed up." ”

Yang Qiuchi also knew this, and he snorted: "I don't care what other rules she sets, but you also have to abide by the rules I set!" ”

"What rules? Master. ”

"This rule is that you don't call me lord in the future!"

"That'...... So how do you do that...... said that it was me, even the third grandmother herself, in front of outsiders, she had to call you master. ”

Yang Qiuchi was stunned, this is true, if Hong Aya is allowed to call her name, then what about Song Qing and her concubines, as well as those maids, they all call their names, and outsiders are really messed up when they hear it.

Yang Qiuchi thought for a while and said, "Okay, you call me by my name in private, and you still call me master in front of outsiders." Okay? ”

Hong Aya raised her head shyly and deliberately teased him: "In private...... Where's the private one? ”

"Little naughty!" Yang Qiuchi turned over and pressed the red silk under him, and said in a daze: "I'll tell you where I am in private right away!" ”
