Chapter 16: The Black Mouth

The river surface of the Bachang River Wharf is wide and the water surface tends to be gentle, like a large mirror, reflecting the flowing clouds in the sky and the high mountains on the opposite side. The wharf is relatively deserted, compared to other seasons, there are few ships moored there at the moment, there is a kind of artistic conception of wild ferry unmanned boats.

In the distance, there is an agitated, high-pitched, long-lasting, lingering mountain song floating, singing on the top of the mountain, floating on the head of the water, with unique meaning. The song was sung by the salt workers, who were now walking on the steep cliff plank on the opposite bank, carrying salt baskets or carrying flat burdens.

There are salt wells deep in the mountains, and the quality of the salt is very good. Boil on the spot, and the boiled salt must be carried out of the mountain by the salt worker in a basket before it can be sold everywhere. The ancient plank road on the cliff is paved for this purpose, one side is the cliff, the other side is the abyss, the ancient road has long been polished by the feet of the salt men very smooth.

"How hard it is to go out early and return late, to earn money to support the family, how rugged the road is to carry salt, and I don't pay attention to my life." Listening to the salt song, the air of desolation came to my face.

Ye Xiaotian and Hong Baichuan's men stopped at the dock, and someone stepped forward to find the people on the dock and asked him to help find the boat. After collecting some scattered silver, the idle dock brother of the five ridges and six beasts immediately got busy.

Soon, he returned to Ye Xiaotian and Hong Baichuan, nodded and said: "Lord, eldest prince, there are three big ships parked at the dock, but one of them is going to sell salt to the west of the water, not going east, and the other two are going east, one is only temporarily docked, and the other one is going to stay here for three or five days, the little one told them okay, take your group to Tongren Mansion, one hundred and fifty taels of silver, you see ......."

Ye Xiaotian thought for a moment, exchanged glances with Hong Baichuan, and said, "There are so many of us, and there are many horses, and one boat is too crowded. I've got all three. ”

The big brother of the dock was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Childe, I'm afraid you didn't understand it just now, the other two ships ......."

Ye Xiaotian interrupted him and said, "I understand, one is going west, and the other will leave in two days!" Three boats, I have them all! Ye is a reasonable person, and he will not treat them badly, this time I will give five hundred taels of silver for each boat. ”

The big brother of the dock said with a bitter face: "Childe." The boat that people go west is going to the west to sell salt, I'm afraid they don't want to toss east for a few days, as for the other boat that will leave in a few days, it's a rich merchant's private boat, I'm afraid people don't care about making such a little money, small ......"

"Ye is a reasonable person, but if reasoning doesn't work, I will be unreasonable!"

As soon as Ye Xiaotian waved his hand, the guards immediately rushed forward violently. As he walked, the knife at his waist was already slowly unsheathed. The boatmen and laborers on the dock looked at them in amazement, and saw a sword and gun rushing in front of them, and then they woke up like a dream. Hurriedly dodge.

Ye Xiaotian's guards rushed to the boat, and in a moment, bags of salt that had been loaded into the ship were thrown out, and there was nothing on the other rich private boat. But there was a steward guarding the ship, and he was also taken off the boat by the wolf-like Woniuling warriors.

The butler turned pale with fright, and fled far away. Only then did he stand on his heels, turned around and howled: "You are so bold! You bandits, do you know Yellow Crane Tower? Our boat is the boat of Master Huang of the Yellow Crane Tower! Does Cui Sanliang know? Cui Sanliang is the big head of the Thirteen Wa! Do you know what is the relationship between our Master Huang and Master Cui? They're bridges! ”

"Whew!"

A spear slashed through the air and landed accurately at his feet, the sharp tip of the spear penetrated into the hard ground more than a foot deep, the spear shaft shook into a fan in front of his eyes, and the rapid sound of "buzzing" resonated with his heart.

In the distance, a sturdy man roared: "If you dare to make noise, Lao Tzu's next spear will pierce you directly, do you know?" ”

The housekeeper of the Huangfu stayed for a moment, "Mom" let out a strange scream, and ran away. Ye Xiaotian didn't pay any attention to this scene, and when the boat was almost cleaned up, Ye Xiaotian shook his hand to Hong Baichuan: "Uncle, please!" ”

Ye Xiaotian also found out about Hong Baichuan's brocade secret spy identity last night, which really surprised him, but the two did not have a conflict of interest, but were close partners, coupled with the relationship between the tycoon, he quickly got calm.

The big brother on the dock next to him knew that this person was not easy to mess with since Ye Xiaotian directly ordered someone to clear the boat, and he had already closed his mouth and didn't dare to let go of a fart, and then listening to Ye Xiaotian's words, he knew that this was not a father and son.

Ye Xiaotian and Hong Baichuan walked forward, and the big brother at the dock had the heart to catch up, but he was forced by two bright steel knives, and he stood timidly and gave the two fierce gods a smile that was more ugly than crying. Hong Baichuan said: "The virtuous nephew is worried that the ship going east has a trap? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "They took my eldest brother away from the Seven Stars Temple, obviously they are going to do it." It must be the opportunity of me to return to Woniuling to 'run for mourning', so they may start at any time, and they can't be unguarded. ”

Hong Baichuan nodded, and his eyes fell on the obviously luxurious boat, which was obviously the private ship of Master Huang of the Yellow Crane Tower, who was preparing to go east in a few days. Hong Baichuan smiled and said, "These three ships, two cargo ships, are too simple, there is only this ......, you won't choose to take this one." ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "It's okay to sit, unless they know that the news has leaked, they won't stay behind." If there is a trap, nine times out of ten it is the ship that is heading east. However, ......, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years......"

Hong Baichuan said: "So, you want to take the salt boat that should be west?" ”

"Exactly!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"If the plan is foolproof, it has to be seamless! Therefore, we must not have the slightest illusion, any kind of accident must be taken into account, the whole dock, the big and the small, but everything that can float on the river, must be in our hands. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Tian Gongzi, although there are fewer boats on the river in winter, it is not absolutely impossible, we have to control ......"

"It's your business, if you don't want the boat that shouldn't appear to appear at the Bachang River wharf, then control the upstream and downstream, and find a reason to hijack all the boats heading for the Machang River. Until Ye Xiaotian boards the ship, no ship that is not under our control is allowed to appear, I don't care what price you use! ”

"Yes......"

In the lower reaches of the Machang River, there is a narrow rapids area, which the locals call the Black Gukou. On both sides of the estuary, there are two mountain springs that converge from the mountains, and you can usually see them. The spring water is murmuring and the stream is very shallow, but if there is a heavy rain, the mountain torrent accumulates higher and higher on the narrow mountain stream riverbed, and the flow speed is getting faster and faster.

At the same time, the flash floods on both sides of the river hit the river, stirring up huge waves. The mist is dense for miles, and it is very spectacular. It is not the rainy season at the moment, but because the flash flood in the rainy season crosses the rivers and mountains, the silt at the bottom of the river washes out a pit, so the water flows down so far, forming a small waterfall, and the river channel here is narrow and the water flow is turbulent, forming some whirlpools of all sizes and sizes.

From there, we traveled westward. It takes a slender man to pull the boat up, and from there, the big boat is better, and the smaller boat is more likely to capsize. It is an accident-prone area.

Not far from the shore is a stilted area of buildings, jagged in the jungle. Tian Binfei is in one of the stilted buildings at the moment, and from the window, he can just take in the view of the river in the distance.

Hearing the news that Ye Xiaotian had levied three big ships and boarded the ship to the east after a thorough inspection. The corners of Tian Binfei's lips showed a slight smug smile.

Liu Junhua, who was sent by Tian Henfeng to assist Tian Binfei in his actions, remembered Tian Binfei's instructions before, and his original disapproval suddenly turned into incomparable admiration. This Ye Xiaotian is really cautious, no wonder this person will become the third lady's trusted thinker. Do things really without leaks.

Tian Binfei said lightly: "Okay, Ye Xiaotian is already here, you go to Zhang Net!" Success or failure, in one fell swoop! ”

Liu Junhua was awe-inspiring, and immediately agreed, and when he walked down the stairs quickly, his heart couldn't help but pound when he thought of the big thing that was about to be executed.

"Bang Bang!"

Tian Binfei high-fived three times, and two black-clothed men quietly appeared behind him.

Tian Binfei said: "After the matter is completed, kill Liu Junhua." ”

The two men in black didn't make a sound, just waved at him, and then quietly disappeared.

Not everyone is qualified to know all the details, the success or failure of this matter is really important to Yang Yinglong, except for a few big leaders who are involved in the matter at the level of the head of his subordinates, the ordinary people involved in it are all responsible for a period and each of them, and they don't know what the whole incident is going to do.

But Liu Junhua, who was specifically responsible for the implementation of the "Day Change" plan, knew it, so he had already gotten Tian Henfeng's permission to kill people afterwards.

The two people sent by Tian Binfei were not sent by Yang Yinglong, and they used their own people to carry out the extermination, and if they didn't say anything, they would secretly feel cold. These two killers are Tian Binfei's people, not people who are mastered by Tian Zhengfei's identity, but people who are mastered by Tian Binfei, the real eldest son of the Tian family.

As the head of the Tian family, he secretly cultivated and mastered a capable private army, which was completely subordinate to him and commanded by him on a single line. Most of the people of the Tian clan don't know the existence of such a force, even if it is Tian Miaowen, they only know that there is such a force, but they don't know everything about it, and they don't know how to contact and control it.

Tian Miaowen always thought that the details of such a force were placed in the secret box that only the head of the family could know, and this was also the case, but she didn't expect that the eldest brother was not dead, and sent someone to sneak into the Tian Mansion and extract some information from this secret box.

As soon as Ye Xiaotian's boat left the Machangjiang wharf, the people who were secretly monitoring his movements immediately sent a signal to the upstream and downstream checkpoints and wharves, and the ships that were delayed on the upstream and downstream wharves for various reasons left the wharf one after another.

Ye Xiaotian and Hong Baichuan took a salt boat, and the other two horses boarded three big ships respectively, and the other two big ships were one after the other, protecting Ye Xiaotian's big ship in the middle, and going east with the wind, its speed was indeed much faster than on the muddy and bumpy land.

The big boat came down all the way, and there were boats going up the current one after another, Ye Xiaotian didn't care, he was discussing with Hong Baichuan in the cabin how to solve this dilemma.

Now that you already know the other party's plan, as long as you take precautions, it is very difficult for the other party to do it, and after you go back, you can tell your henchmen about this matter to prevent it from happening. But how to rescue Ye Xiaoan? It's tricky.

"Virtuous nephew, if you preach to the outside world that you already know that Brother Ling is still alive, you already know their plans......"

Ye Xiaotian shook his head: "Do they think that their brother will be released if he has no use value?" Know that they will not be angry and kill people. As long as my brother dies, all my words will become a deliberate incident to provoke Yang Yinglong, and others will not even see the corpse, will they believe my words? Besides, I can't risk my brother's life. ”

Hong Baichuan nodded silently, this matter is indeed embarrassing, Rao is full of wisdom, and he has no idea at this time. At this time, I heard the voice of the ship boss outside the cabin: "Drop the sail!" Be careful with the anchors, the distinguished guests are seated tightly, the horses are taking care of them, don't be frightened, the black mouth has arrived~~~"
