Chapter 144: Go with the flow

In Cao Yu's words, Lu Cheng took the people of Beizhenfu to Hezhou to secretly investigate the tea and horses, and the grandson of Altan Khan absconded into the Hezhou area, but he definitely couldn't hide it from others, he didn't believe that Lu Cheng didn't hear the news.

Tian Jinbao wants to use this incident to divert the attention of the tea horse, doesn't Lu Cheng want to use this matter to show his loyalty and find a way out for himself?

This is the conflict between the interests of the two parties.

Emperor Qingwen's distrust of Lu Cheng is increasing day by day, and it is not only Emperor Qingwen's distrust that is on Lu Cheng's head, but also the two factories in the east and west, and they want to completely control Jinyiwei in their hands.

The east and west factories have always been with Jinyi Wei well water does not violate the river water, and the two parties are safe and sound on weekdays, calling each other the factory and the health family, but when it comes to the real interests, it is difficult to say whether it is a family.

Cao Yu and Tian Jinbao's plan is very clear, they just want to take advantage of his illness to kill him, since Lu Cheng has been suspected by Emperor Qingwen, why don't they push Lu Cheng down the boat, and then take the opportunity to support someone who can listen to them.

In this way, the soldiers can be bloodless.

"What our family means is that more people must be sent to this matter." Cao Yu narrowed his eyes and said: "Now the only thing left to fight with Lu Cheng is luck, we will find someone before him!" ”

"This must be reported to the godfather." Cao Alcohol said cautiously: "From the top of the godfather, we can send people out below." ”

Tian Jinbao pondered: "It's not enough to just inform my godfather, I remember that Yang Yiqing, who went to the northwest to tour the tea, was accompanied by two people from Nanzhen Fusi, and if these two people are used properly, they can save us a lot of trouble." ”

Use Emperor Qingwen's people to pull Lu Cheng down and put the contradictions on the surface, so that they can sit behind the curtain and watch the tiger fight.

This method is easy to say, but difficult to do, firstly, the two brothers may not necessarily do what they envisioned, and secondly, they are afraid of unknown variables.

Cao Yu finally clapped his head and said: "It's still the prophet who will be a godfather, and then send more people to search in the Hezhou area." ”

In this regard, Tian Jinbao felt that Cao Yu was a little cautious and excessive, but he couldn't say anything to refute it, after all, they were now in the same boat.

Too much infighting will allow the enemy to take advantage of it.

It rained heavily overnight, and when it was dawn, the sky was already clear, and the porters got up one after another, and the sound of squirming and dressing was intertwined with the sound of talking and scolding the mother, and the noise made people's brains hurt.

"Boss, get up." He Qiao leaned and pushed Jiang Banxia, who was leaning on Yang Yiqing's body, he didn't know how to sleep last night, and everyone was crowded together when he slept.

Yang Yiqing pressed him, and the boss pillowed Yang Yiqing again, he couldn't get up if he wanted to.

Jiang Banxia slowly opened her eyes in the pushing, she rubbed her eyes, and was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses, and it took a long time to tell where she was.

The ruddy face that had just woken up with a dull expression was completely softened in the morning light.

As soon as Yang Yiqing opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Banxia in a daze, and he was in a trance for a moment.

"Get up." Jiang Banxia dusted off his clothes, and then jumped down with a light movement, returning to his former calm appearance.

Walking outside, it is inevitable to encounter poor conditions, and the only well in the ruined temple is surrounded by porters, who are scrambling to drink the water brought up from the bowls and buckets.

He Qiaoyi also went up to scoop up the water, and finally scooped up a bowl, and when he saw it, the water was as muddy as yellow soup.

"Can you drink this?" He put the bowl in front of his nose and smelled it, there was a smell of earth, and he put the bowl to his mouth and tasted it.

Yang Yiqing saw that He Qiao didn't say anything for a long time, so he asked, "How is it?" ”

"Tastes good...?" He Qiaoyi immediately pushed the bowl in front of Yang Yiqing: "Lord Yang, can you taste it?" ”

Seeing that He Qiaoyi's expression didn't seem to be fake, it happened that he was also thirsty, so he picked up the bowl and took a big sip, but as soon as he drank it in his mouth, Yang Yiqing squirted out.

"Phew!" Yang Yiqing snorted several times, feeling that his throat and eyes were full of pungent earthy smell.

"Hahaha." He Qiao leaned on his stomach and laughed wildly, he didn't expect Yang Yiqing to be so easy to deceive, the water in the bowl was not normal at first glance, so he drank it after listening to his words.

It's really easy to deceive.

Jiang Banxia, who was packing his luggage with Zhu Tan and Zhu Hu, looked back when he heard the sound, and saw He Qiaoyi who was smiling.

I don't know what's funny.

Yang Yiqing, who has a good temper, is not as knowledgeable as He Qiaoyi, he took the bowl with a dark face and carried his luggage on his body.

They want to cross the Yellow River, the horses can only stay on the bank, the two Shangguan surnamed Zhu on the road have already arranged, the horses are handed over to the children accompanying Yang Yiqing, and they cross the river on a sheepskin raft.

After the rain at night, the water level of the Yellow River swelled, the river surface was wide and turbulent, and the yellow and muddy river surface was shrouded in a layer of water mist under the big sun, and the opposite bank could not be seen at all.

Zhiliu, who had been waiting by the river for a long time, stepped barefoot in the mud of the tidal flats, and when he saw Jiang Banxia and the others from a distance, he waved and shouted, for fear that these people would find the wrong place and take another family's raft.

Behind Zhi Liu was a group of powerful men from the northwest, each with a long pole in his hand, and it seemed that they were all raft workers begging for a living on the Yellow River.

"A few masters." Zhiliu greeted him with a smile: "I can wait for you here." ”

"Can you still cross the river?" Jiang Banxia looked at the turbulent Yellow River, and she was a little worried that the waves would be easy to overturn after the water level soared.

"With a few of our brothers here, it's no problem to cross the river." General Zhi Liu said with a package ticket: "A few masters, you can rest assured." ”

Jiang Banxia turned his gaze to the two Shangguan surnamed Zhu, waiting for them to speak last.

Zhu Hu, who has always talked little, opened his mouth: "Cross the river." ”

They had wasted too much time in Yangqu County, and now they couldn't wait any longer, even if the river was fast.

The sheepskin rafts standing on the river beach were each tied up and full of air, and those northwestern men quickly pushed the sheepskin raft into the shallows.

"A few masters, please get on the raft." Shiroku beckoned them to get on the raft, and there were only a limited number of people who could sit on a raft.

He Qiao leaned on Jiang Banxia and squeezed onto a raft, and the two Shangguan surnamed Zhu got on another raft.

"Lord Yang, come here." He Qiaoyi, who had just passed Yang Yiqing, was a little reluctant in his heart, so he beckoned: "There is one more person sitting on our side." ”

He squeezed forward and set aside a spot for Yang Yiqing: "The boss and I are thin, plus you are just right." ”

Having said so, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but give face, and he and Jiang Banxia were crowded together.

As soon as the raft entered the water, it was bumped up by the rushing current.

The raft workers shouted, "Hold on!" ”

They cling to the wooden frame on the raft, and the sheepskin raft floats along the current. Now they are duckweed on the wide Yellow River.

"There's a wave ahead, be careful!" The raft worker held it up, and the sheepskin raft drifted forward with all its might, and the turbid waves emptied it, almost overturning the raft.

The raft worker who supported the pole wiped a handful of water droplets from his face, and he nervously clenched the pole in his hand to press the waves away.

The Yellow River is full of reefs and whirlpools, and if you are not careful, you will overturn the raft.

The people who support the raft are nervous, and the people who sit on the raft are even more nervous, and it is no joke to climb into the Yellow River, there are not only whirlpool reefs but also silt under the surface of the Yellow River, and once you sink into it, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.
