At two o'clock, five carriages were speeding on the official road, and an hour ago, Heimi rushed to the Jin Fu Ji pawnshop and told Wu Jin an extremely important piece of information, a beggar found that a dozen soldiers were escorting a well-covered carriage out of the south gate to Pinghu County.

If you look at it from the map, if you want to leave Donghai County and enter Beijing, there are only two routes, one is the waterway, take the Yangtze River by boat, or go to sea by boat, the second is the land route, and the land route has three lines, one is to the northwest through Jiyang County to Pingjiang County, the other is to take due west through Huating County to Pingjiang County, the third is to go south to Pinghu County, and then detour back to Pingjiang County, and even continue to the south from Haiyan County in Yuhang County to the sea.

Before that, everyone thought of Jiyang County and Huating County, but Pinghu County was missed, the capital is in the north, and Pinghu County is in the south.

Further south of Pinghu County is Haiyan County of Yuhang County, there is a port there, and now the most worrying thing for Wujin is that the other party gets on the sea ship from Haiyan County, so he really can't catch up.

Wu Jin's heart was like fire, constantly looking forward from the window of the car, urging the carriage to speed up, and Heimi on the side comforted him from time to time, "Childe, don't worry, Phoenix will also have an intelligence point in Haiyan County, Auntie has already sent a pigeon letter, and the people over there will help us keep an eye on it, but there is no news so far, indicating that the other party did not go to Haiyan County, but went back to Pingjiang County." ”

Wu Jin's face was ugly, he had been exhausted from early to now, looking very tired, at this moment his eyes flashed with anger, this was anger because of Zhao Jiehao's dereliction of duty, the regiment he sent to train soldiers in all directions set up checkpoints, but he did not send troops to check the official road to Pinghu County, which gave the other party an opportunity.

He didn't get the news until the first watch, which made him very annoyed, and the news he got before was that all the exits were blocked by the regimental training, and in the end, Pinghu didn't have a card all the way, and his eldest brother was sent away from this road.

It's useless to be anxious now, Wu Jin had to force himself to calm down, he closed his eyes and lay on the back of the chair, sighed slightly and said: "The thing I regret the most now is that I didn't practice riding horses well, otherwise riding a horse would be much faster than a carriage." ”

Whether it is the Wujin of the previous life or the Wujin of the present life, it is horseback riding, horseback riding is mainly crotch force, and it must be controlled when the horse is running, Weiyang County is the southeast coast, there are not many people who ride horses, especially the carriage rental industry is developed, and the carriage can be stopped almost by beckoning, and he also practices the heart of horseback riding, but now he regrets it.

"Childe, you actually have a horse!"

Heimi smiled and said: "I heard from my aunt that the owner of the island once gave you a good horse, and now you are still on Ryukyu Island, and my aunt said that you forgot it yourself." ”

Heimi saw that Wujin didn't say anything, and cautiously tested him, "Childe, in fact, we can all see that Auntie is interesting to you, I heard Qiu Laoba say that your relationship on the island was very good before, in fact, although Auntie looks a little darker, she is very handsome......"

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Jin interrupted him, "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, I'm not in the mood, let's talk about it later!" ”

Heimi didn't dare to say anything, both of them were busy for a day and a night, and they were both tired, so they both closed their eyes and took a nap for a while.

The carriage sped along the straight official road. Surrounded by rice paddies shrouded in night, as far as the eye can see, it is now late May, and the rice has already set ears, and the air is filled with the sweetness of rice flowers.

At the time of the third watch, they entered Pinghu County, the shape of Pinghu County on the map is an irregular hammer shape, wide in the west and narrow in the east, and its long hammer handle in the east, only a dozen miles wide, these ten miles are no different from Weiyang County, they are all endless rice fields, in the carriage, Wujin and Heimi have fallen asleep, unaware, they have entered Pinghu County.

At this time, a horse on the official road galloped towards him, and immediately the knight shouted from afar: "Where is Brother Mi?" ”

The carriage stopped, and Wu Jin woke up suddenly, he pushed Heimi, "Wake up!" It's like someone is calling you. ”

Heimi sat up, and the man on horseback had already arrived in front of the car window, "Brother Mi, I'm Yang Zhi from Haiyan." ”

Heimi knew this horse rider, and he perked up and asked, "Brother Yang, is there any news?" ”

"There is news that a brother in Wutang Town found the suspicious carriage, a total of eighteen soldiers guarded, they rested in Wutang Town for half an hour, and now they are heading in the direction of the harbor."

"How far away are they from here now?" Wu Jin hurriedly asked, this is the question he is most concerned about.

"The harbor is about fifty miles from here, and we are about twenty miles away from them."

"What about the ships? Is it possible to leave the port at any time? Wu Jin asked again, and his heart began to get anxious.

"Generally, there are ships that can leave the port at any time, but tonight the harbor is foggy, and it may not be able to go, as long as you hurry up, you may be able to catch up!"

"Let's go!"

Without Jin's order, the carriage set off, the coachman continued to whip the horses, and the five carriages galloped along the official road in the direction of Nanhai Port.

．．．．．．．．． At the fourth watch, the carriage finally arrived at the harbor, the harbor is about ten miles away from the county seat, it is a big town, nearly 500 households, most of them are fishermen, the dazzling halo of Weiyang harbor will cover up here, Haiyan Port is just a fishing port, occasionally some passenger ships go out of the port, and there are smugglers sneaking ashore from here.

The harbor has a history of hundreds of years, in the dark fog shrouded in the night, you can faintly see the outline of a huge building, like a hill, those are abandoned cargo warehouses, witnessing the prosperity of this place, before the rise of Port Viyan, there was also a spectacular scene like a thousand masts like a forest, but now it is dilapidated, dilapidated docks and dilapidated houses, everywhere you can see drying nets and abandoned small fishing boats, the sea breeze blows, the whole town is filled with a fishy smell of fish and shrimp.

The carriage rushed to the dock, the exhausted horses finally stopped, several horses fell to their knees, could no longer run, Wu Jin Suo jumped out of the carriage, he carried a crossbow arrow in his hand, and galloped towards the passenger terminal, Heimi galloped behind him, and more than twenty big men also jumped from the other four carriages and ran away with their figures.

At this time, it was the darkest hour in Dawn County, the deep dark sea water was churning in the black mist, lapping against the embankment, and the sea in the distance contained some unknown and mysterious danger.

The wharf of Haiyan Harbor is two miles long, and there are large and small fishing boats moored, most of which are very quiet and invisible, except that occasionally someone peeks out of the cabin and looks curiously at this group of people running wild on the pier.

The passenger boat dock is at the other end, lit with more than a dozen torches, in the dim firelight, you can faintly see several carriages parked next to the dock, more than a dozen people are getting on the boat, all are soldiers in armor, Wu Jin even saw a man who was tied with a backhand, with a black hood, it was his eldest brother Weiming, Wu Jin accelerated his speed under his feet, and the sound of running alarmed the other party, and a ** soldier jumped off the boat, pulled out a cold and shining war knife and rushed towards them.

Wu Jin held the crossbow with one hand, pulled the hanging knife, and a crossbow arrow 'whoosh!' The ground shot out, and the soldier who was running in front was shot head-on, and the screams pierced the silent night.

The two groups of people collided together, Wu Jin dodged the oncoming knife, punched a soldier out, broke the bridge of his nose, blood spurted out of his mouth, and then kicked the other man in the stomach, his bow and crossbow waved, smashing another soldier, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and in an instant, three soldiers were knocked to the ground by him.

But the situation was urgent, and he had no time to fight with these soldiers, so he pulled his feet and ran towards the passenger ship, which was already twenty feet away from the pier, and ten soldiers stood in the bow of the ship and fired arrows at him together, and the arrows were like a torrential rain, and they roared towards him, and he rolled forward to avoid the rain of arrows, and then kicked his right foot, jumped into the sea, and dived hard towards the passenger ship.

"Over here! Shoot! ”

Ten soldiers threw arrows into the water, 'Whoosh! Sou! The arrows kept shooting past Wu Jin, thrilling, 'Boom! With a bang, a swarthy spherical object was thrown into the sea, this is a kind of earth mine that only exists in the army, although it is far inferior to the mines of later generations, it can also set off huge waves, Wu Jin heard the seafarers talk about this kind of mine on the ship, he was horrified, turned around and desperately swam back..... Just swam out of more than a dozen zhang, only to hear a muffled sound in the sea, the mine exploded, and suddenly shrapnel splashed, Wu Jin only felt a huge force push him to the shore, a piece of shrapnel grazed his scalp and shot through, hot and painful, a wave more than one zhang high rushed out of the sea, almost overturned the big boat.

Wu Jin was washed back to the shore by the waves, and when he surfaced from the sea, he saw that the big ship had disappeared into the fog on the sea and disappeared, and he was so angry in his heart that he slammed his fist on the stone wall of the pier.

Heimi and more than twenty big men also solved the soldiers rushed up, they stood on the dock, regretfully looking at the ship away, they ran all the way, still a step slow, everyone's heart was full of loss.

Heimi stepped forward to help Wujin go ashore, and when he saw that there was blood on Wujin's face, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "Childe, are you injured?" ”

"It's okay, a piece of shrapnel grazed the scalp just now, and it may have scratched the skin."

Wu Jin sat on the dock, his mood was relatively depressed, and he asked again, "Have you gone to find the boat?" ”

"Go, the two brothers went to look for the fishing boat."

As soon as Heimi's words fell, someone suddenly pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted, "Look at it! What is that! ”

Wu Jin looked up at the sea, only to see five or six sea ships appear in the black fog on the sea, one of which was the same ship just now, Wu Jin was taken aback, he jumped up, and looked at a few ships approaching the dock in surprise, what is going on?

"It's our Phoenix Society's ship!"

Heimi suddenly shouted, and he pointed to a phoenix flag and was surprised: "It's the island owner who is here!" ”
