Chapter 253: Thunder Strikes in the Sky
The boat sails through the canal, and the speed is not fast.
This is the second time Jia Cong has gone to the south of the Yangtze River, and he knows a lot about the situation on this side of the canal.
As long as you don't encounter the Cao Gang guys looking for trouble, you basically don't have to worry too much about safety.
Pity......
When a group of five official ships entered the Ludi Canal section, Jia Cong was keenly aware of the inappropriateness.
"We're being targeted!"
Early this morning, he routinely enjoyed breakfast with Lin Ruhai and Lian Er, and after eating, he suddenly spoke.
"What?"
Chain Er's face changed, and he said in a panic: "I haven't arrived in Jinling yet!" ”
He thought it was the Jinling Zhen family who heard the wind and started in advance.
"It shouldn't be the Jinling Zhen family!"
Lin Ruhai asserted: "This is Ludi, not far from the capital, it is easy to attract the attention of the capital!" ”
"It should be a guy who runs on the canal all year round!"
Jia Cong nodded in agreement and explained, "If it weren't for the bad looks they looked at, I wouldn't have been able to detect it!" ”
Martial arts cultivation has reached the point of transformation, and it can be said that physical fitness has begun to improve in all aspects.
Of course, more importantly, the method of breathing and transporting qi and blood that he created independently is not only to exercise the muscles, bones, qi and blood, but also to strengthen the soul.
In other words, his divine soul power at this time was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
In a radius of fifteen zhang, any hostile eyes towards him basically can't escape his perception.
That is to say, he doesn't know how to use it, otherwise he will play more smoothly than the Lai Tou monk and the lame Taoist.
"Could it be someone from the Cao Gang?"
Lian Er's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "I haven't bothered them for what happened last time, and now I dare to look for death!" ”
Seeing Lin Ruhai's doubtful face, Jia Cong simply told him about the last time he followed the investigation team to the south of the Yangtze River and was intercepted by the Cao Gang halfway.
"What a daring!"
Lin Ruhai's face also changed slightly, he didn't expect the Cao Gang to be so bold that they even dared to intercept the official ship of the investigation team halfway!
Hehe......
Jia Cong chuckled, Lin Ruhai and Lian Er were both born in the sons and daughters of the family, so they naturally didn't understand the thoughts of people in the rivers and lakes.
If you want to talk about such things as killing officials and intercepting official ships, it can indeed be described as bold and crazy.
But the situation of the Cao Gang is different, it can be said that even the imperial court has to scruple three points, plus the close relationship with the court bosses, the five official ships that intercepted and killed Lin Ruhai and Chain Er halfway, as long as the follow-up hands and tails are dealt with cleanly, it will be an 'accident' at most.
Every year, there are always officials who die on the canal due to the capsizing of the boat and falling into the water, and there are always some officials who are even of high grade.
Their deaths can't be said to be related to the Cao Gang, but most of them were done by the Cao Gang.
Of course, he knew all this in his heart, and there was no need to tell the two in front of him to know, so as not to worry about being afraid of not being able to sleep.
"So how do we deal with that?"
Chain Er said urgently: "Do you want to dock urgently and ask the local government for help?" ”
"How can I ask for help?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "There is no evidence and no excuse, it is not clear how deeply the government and the Cao Gang are involved along the canal, and it is very likely that they will startle the snake if they rush forward!" ”
Sure enough, he is worthy of being re-elected for five consecutive terms as a salt patrol royal history, and in the end, he can get out of the whole body, and his experience is much stronger than that of the little white of Chain Er.
"What then?"
"What else can I do, wait!"
Jia Cong rolled his eyes and said angrily: "With me here, what are you afraid of, Second Brother Lian?" ”
Chain Er slapped his thigh suddenly, and said happily: "Yes, yes, yes, there is a third brother, there is really no need to be afraid of these young people!" ”
"At present, the enemy is dark and I am clear, the key is to keep everyone on the ship vigilant, and not to fall for the plot easily!"
Jia Cong said in a deep voice: "This matter will be handed over to my aunt and father to supervise by himself, and the second brother will learn a little together!" ”
Lin Ruhai nodded in response, this is indeed the best way at the moment.
Chain Er was a little embarrassed and curious: "What about you, third brother?" ”
"Me?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I will sit in the Chinese army, waiting for some people who don't know whether to live or die to come to the door!" ”
The chain is absolutely down, but there is nothing to say, who told him that he doesn't have Jia Cong's strong martial arts, so he can only be an errand runner.
Lin Ruhai didn't talk nonsense, and after using the refreshments, he directly took Chain Er and the guards back and forth on the five official ships a few times.
With a second-class officer like him personally supervising and reminding, no matter how unbelievable the sailors on the five official ships were, they were secretly a little more guarded.
Xue Pan and the two little marquis of the historian all received the order, and they were so excited that they took the boat guards to patrol back and forth in small boats, putting on a posture of a gentleman running rampant through the canal.
The ladies on the official ship, as well as the maids and the like, were all instructed not to leave the cabin easily, and there might be some trouble to deal with outside.
"What's the matter, third brother, what's the trouble?"
Lin Daiyu naturally stayed in the cabin obediently, but Wang Xifeng was not so honest.
She handed over her eldest sister, who was a little seasick, to Ping'er's care, and then came to the deck in a hurry, and when she saw Jia Cong, she asked directly, looking eager to perform.
"You may have met a bandit!"
Jia Cong deliberately lowered his voice and said with a smile: "If the second sister-in-law is not afraid of knives and guns, she can help!" ”
"What?"
Wang Xifeng was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "How is it possible, in broad daylight, and still on this busy canal, how can there be water bandits?" ”
"It's hard to say whether it's a real water bandit, you always have to be careful to guard against one or two!"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Do you have any good suggestions for the second sister-in-law?" ”
"Why don't you find a canal dock and ask the local government for help?"
Sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, Wang Xifeng's idea is the same as Chain Er, but Jia Cong chuckled and shook his head and refused.
"Okay, just take care of it!"
Wang Xifeng was a little frightened, said a few words, turned around and immediately returned to the cabin, and no longer dared to go to the deck with a big grin.
It's all quiet during the day!
The guy who was secretly spying on him, apparently unaware that he had been exposed, followed the five official ships to a small dock nearby to dock and repair.
As for the escort boats of the five official ships patrolling around, they did not attract the attention of the monitors, and this was just a normal operation.
In the middle of the night, the sky that had been clear and starry suddenly became cloudy.
I don't know when a strong wind suddenly blew, and a strange whine caused uneasiness in the hearts of the officers and the top and bottom of the ship.
In just a moment, thunder and dazzling lightning appeared one after another, and suddenly a torrential rain whistled down.
A mile away from the wharf dwellings, dozens of men in black clothes and strong suits quietly set off, holding sharp knives and heading straight to the place where the five official ships docked.
At this time, Jia Cong did not rest.
The main cabin of the official ship he was on was brightly lit, and a table of wine was set up in front of him, and he ate and drank slowly without being affected by the bad weather outside.
Lin Ruhai's body bones had just been healed for a long time, so naturally he couldn't stay up late and went back to the cabin early to rest, and only the restless chain two were next to him.
"It's coming!"
When the group of black-clothed men approached the fifteen-zhang area of the official ship, Jia Cong suddenly got up, took the hat and went out of the cabin directly.
Chain Er was stunned for a moment, and then followed behind with a pale face, his legs and feet were a little weak, and it seemed that he might fall down at any time.
The thunder in the sky exploded continuously, shaking the ears and hearts for a while, and I don't know how Cong San knew the movement outside with such a loud sound?
didn't have time to think about this, followed behind Jia Cong, braved the wind and rain to the edge of the boat, and immediately found dozens of black-clothed men with sharp blades in their hands.
Although there was no torch lighting outside, the electric snakes that flickered in the sky from time to time were enough for Chain Er to see the scene ten feet away.
Not only did there be men in black on land, but also on the water of the canal, there were also several fishing boats approaching quickly in the pouring rain.
"Third brother, what should I do?"
Chain Er was full of panic and asked loudly at the top of his voice.
Jia Cong's tall body stood on the side of the boat, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll make a move when I get closer......"
As soon as the words fell, an electric snake roared down from the sky, and hit a man in black with a knife, and the guy fell to the ground without snorting.
Without waiting for the rest of the men in black to react, the silver electric snakes in the sky seemed to have found their target, and they slashed frantically one after another, but in the blink of an eye, dozens of electric snakes roared down, and the men in black who were still menacing just now all fell to the ground, and there was a clear smell of burnt on their bodies, and they had long since disappeared.
Not only were all the men in black with knives on land struck by lightning, but even the few fishing boats that were approaching quickly did not fall.
A few bolts of lightning with branches fell, and the man in black, who was originally paddling hard, fell into the turbid canal and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Chain Two glanced over, there was no one on the three fishing boats.
"This, this, this ......"
Dumbfounded, Chain Er was completely stunned by the scene that happened in front of him at this time, and he couldn't react for a long time.
Roared madly in his heart: Is this the legend that he was struck by thunder when he did bad things?
At this moment, he had a deep awe of God......
Jia Cong didn't have such a complicated inner drama, although he didn't expect God to come to such a hand, but he was not the slightest surprised by such a result.
Nima, I can't get along with the son of luck, that's how it ended!
His eyes at this time were looking in the direction where the man in black was coming, although the night was deep and the rain was pouring clearly, but the huge silver snake lightning that continued to thunder, as well as the occasional screaming and wailing, obviously explained everything.
"The danger has been lifted!"
After a long time, he noticed that the body of Chain Er next to him seemed to be a little unbearable, so he turned around and chuckled: "Anyway, the enemies have been cleaned up by God, but you can't catch yourself a cold just because you see the excitement!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the cabin, and a leisurely voice clearly came into the ears of Lian Er: "Go back to the cabin early to rest, and you have to continue to travel early tomorrow morning!" ”
This kid!
Chain Er came back to his senses, and the darkness around him suddenly shivered, and he hurriedly trotted to keep up......
