Chapter 269: Borrowing an Official Ship
Wang Zhen said: "The reverse scale is here, how can Shi Huannian not know it!" It's just that these three people were eager to kill me, and they ended up putting their lives here, which should have been something that Shi Huannian didn't expect! ”
Yinying asked, "What about this dog?" ”
It turned out that Gu Menglong's Shar Pei dog didn't run away and was still here.
Si Yun walked over and stroked its head, and said with a smile: "It's so cute!" Why don't we raise it! ”
Du Zigong and Si Yan glanced at each other, and Du Zigong said, "Si Yun, raise it if you like it!" ”
Si Yun asked, "But, how can we take it out to sea?" ”
Wang Qiandao: "Don't take it to sea, foster it in the post house, and get it back when you come back!" But I'm going to have to change its name! ”
Si Yun smiled: "Of course! Let's call it 'peace'! I hope everyone is safe and sound! ”
Ye Ziqing squatted down and stroked the Shar Pei dog, and said, "'Ping'an' is a good name!" ”
Si Yun smiled: "I'll take off its chains!" ”
Wang Zhen said: "Yangxia, the people in the post house have seen Gu Menglong and others, in order to avoid right and wrong, come over and throw the bodies of Gu Menglong and Shi Xu into the 'Immortal Ghost Fire' with me. ”
Du Zigong said: "Si Yan, reverse scale, you also go to help!" ”
After the aftermath was done, everyone returned to the post house according to the guidance of Si Yan's "flame divination", and because of the addition of a Shar Pei dog, the courtyard was much more lively, and the passage of time seemed to have accelerated a lot. Wang Zhen told the innkeeper that they needed to go out for a while from tomorrow, and asked him to send someone to take care of the Shar Pei's diet every day, and to leave enough money for the accommodation. Wang Zhen is a good guest who is generous, and there is no reason why the director of the inn will not agree.
After breakfast the next day, Du Zigong first asked everyone to pack up and prepare for departure, and then asked the puppet to open the "death door". Everyone passed through the "Gate of Death" and instantly came to a remote alley.
Reverse Scale has been kept in the dark, and after observing the surroundings, he couldn't help but ask, "Where is this?" ”
Wang Zhen said: "Although Shi Huannian will know about this place soon, I suggest you don't ask." ”
Knowing his own particularity, he immediately kept silent.
Du Zigong said: "Just turn out of this alley." ”
Wang Zhen said: "Ancestor, it is inconvenient for you to walk around with puppets, let's go first to negotiate, and then send a carriage to pick you up?" ”
Du Zigong agreed, and Wang Zhen took the three of them out of the alley, and the yamen was opposite. Wang Zhen asked the yacha guarding the door to pass the word, and said that it was the king of Jianwei Mansion who asked to see him. It didn't take long for Zhu Xu, who was wearing a fourth-grade official uniform, to rush over.
Wang Zhen arched his hand and said, "Brother Zhu! Excuse me! ”
Zhu Xu replied: "What did Brother Wang say, I can't be happy when you come, why bother!" Come! Don't stand in the doorway, go inside and talk! Please! Silver Baby Girl Please! ”
Zhu Xu took everyone to a side hall of the inner office, the maid served tea, and Zhu Xu enthusiastically toasted tea to everyone.
After drinking tea, Wang Zhen went straight to the point and said: "Brother Zhu, I can't hide it, I came here this time to ask for something!" ”
Zhu Xu smiled: "I see that you don't look like you're in a hurry and don't look like you've come to me to catch up, so I brought you here." It won't be disturbed here, Brother Wang has something to do, but it's okay! ”
Wang Zhi said: "Brother Zhu has good eyesight! I want to borrow an official boat on the beach, so I want to ask Brother Zhu to repair a book for me, so that I can take it to the local county magistrate. ”
Zhu Xu asked: "Why does Brother Wang need to use official ships to go to sea?" ”
"Because I know an old man, he is Sun En's old-timer, and he hopes to find Sun En in his lifetime and persuade him to surrender in order to atone for his sins. It is safer to go to sea with an official ship; Second, it's easy to convince Sun En! ”
Zhu Xu's eyes lit up and said, "Sun En? You mean that the court wanted criminal, Sun En, the head of the Haikou Kou? ”
Wang asked: "Exactly! ”
Zhu Xuyi said righteously: "Sun En has brought disaster to the country and the people, as long as this scourge can be eliminated, don't say that if you repair a book, it is my duty to donate my body!" But why did Brother Wang go to the beach? ”
The king asked, "Brother Zhu, how can you go to sea without going to the beach?" ”
Zhu Xu said: "You can choose to go to sea from the Grand Canal, and going down the river is not only faster than taking the land route, but also has a lot less travel on the way." ”
Wang Zhen smiled and said: "Brother Zhu, please forgive me for my shallow knowledge, please trouble Brother Zhu to show me the way!" ”
Zhu Xu said: "Brother Wang can get on the boat in Yuhang County, and you can go to sea along the Grand Canal, and it will take an hour to get to Yuhang County from here, and it will take several days to get to the beach by land!" ”
Wang Zhen arched his hand and asked, "Brother Zhu, can you arrange it for us?" ”
Zhu Xu said: "Of course you can!" I'll go with you! It's just that Brother Wang is going to go to sea in person, which is a bit hasty, right? ”
Wang asked: "That old man has some relationship with me, and I must accompany him on a trip." ”
Zhu Xu asked: "Do these people also go to sea?" ”
Ye Ziqing and the three nodded firmly.
Zhu Xu said: "In that case, I'll arrange some people to walk with you!" ”
Wang Zhen hurriedly said: "Brother Zhu must not!" This journey is dangerous, and we can't let more people risk it for us. In addition, I will make an explanation to Brother Zhu in advance: first, the sea is vast, and we may not be able to find Sun En; Second, even if we successfully find Sun En, we may not be able to persuade him to surrender; Third, the sea is stormy and rough, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to return the official ship in good condition. ”
Zhu Xu said: "Brother Wang, everyone wants to win, but who in the world can do it?" Coastal pirates are rampant, and the imperial court has sent troops several times, but it hasn't returned in vain? Therefore, Brother Wang, do your best, and I ask you to return safely! ”
Wang Zhen arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhu!" Brother Zhu is tired of making quick arrangements for us! ”
Zhu Xu asked, "Are you in such a hurry?" I'm going to stay with you for a few days! ”
Wang Zhen arched his hand and said: "Brother Zhu, leave it for us to return safely and then get together with you to drink!" This matter is a bit urgent, and we can't afford to delay! I implore Brother Zhu to prepare two carriages for us and accompany us to Yuhang County immediately? Brother Zhu's kindness will be repaid in the future! ”
Zhu Xu said: "Brother Wang is serious! Please take a moment here, I will put down some official duties, make some arrangements, and accompany you to Yuhang County immediately. ”
The four of them arched their hands in unison: "Thank you!" ”
After Zhu Xu left the side hall, Yang Xia smiled and said, "This Brother Zhu is righteous enough!" ”
Wang Zhen nodded and said, "Brother Zhu is indeed righteous!" In this way, I feel much more at ease! ”
Silver Infant smiled, "As long as we get on the boat, the Netherworld Dao can't expect to catch up with us!" ”
Ye Ziqing said: "I'm worried that Shi Huannian still has a backhand!" ”
Wang Zhi said: "Miss Ye, I also have this concern, just because Shi Huannian has too few tricks!" ”
Yinying said: "It's still less?" Yesterday there were only three people who came to find fault! ”
Wang asked: "That's nothing at all!" Shi Huannian put too little pressure on us, and I felt like he was just putting on a show. So get on board as soon as possible, no matter what! ”
More than a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Xu came back and said, "Everyone, let's go!" There are already two carriages parked at the entrance of the yamen! ”
Yang Xia smiled: "It's so fast! ”
Zhu Xu said: "I have always been resolute! ”
Wang Zhen arched his hand and said: "Brother Zhu, I won't say much if I thank you, let's go!" ”
Sure enough, two carriages were parked at the entrance of the yamen, Wang Zhen asked Ye Ziqing and Yinying to get into the carriage first, and he and Yang Xia walked quickly to the alley to inform the people of the Wudou Rice Sect. Du Zigong asked the two puppets to carry an inactive puppet each, and led everyone out of the alley.
Zhu Xu stepped forward and asked, "The predecessor is Sun En's elder, right?" ”
Du Zigong replied: "My lord, Xiaomin is exactly!" Sun En has done a lot of evil, and I, as his elder, feel embarrassed, so I want to go to sea to find Sun En and persuade him to turn back! ”
Zhu Xu arched his hand and said: "I first thank the predecessors for the fishermen along the coast, this journey is difficult, I hope the predecessors will cherish it!" ”
Du Zigong arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your concern!" In addition, the adults are willing to help, and the small people are grateful! ”
Wang Zhen rushed over and said: "Brother Zhu, ancestor, polite words can be waived, everything is ready, hurry up and set off!" ”
After nodding his head, Du Zigong returned to the carriage; Zhu Xu turned over and took the lead in leading the way. After walking for an hour and coming to Yuhang County, Zhu Xu suggested that the soldiers should be divided into two routes, the carriage rushed to the wharf, and he rode a fast horse to the county government to sign the documents and seconded the official ship.
Zhu Xu took the initiative to save time for everyone, and of course everyone was willing. After parting, the carriage drove straight to the dock. The river is choppy, the Grand Canal is not very busy, and occasionally ships dock at the pier. Everyone got out of the car one after another, contemplating the turbulent river. After waiting for about half an hour, Zhu Xu came back from his horse, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the results.
Zhu Xu said: "There is no obstacle, the official ship can be transferred over in the afternoon, I have already instructed them to prepare the materials needed for the voyage, you can just board the ship in the afternoon!" ”
After everyone expressed their gratitude, Wang Zhen took out a thousand taels of silver ticket and said: "Brother Zhu, you can take this silver ticket, it is the cost of renting a boat and materials!" ”
Zhu Xu excused himself: "Alas! You go to sea for the country and the people, how can I ask for your money! ”
Wang Qiandao: "Brother Zhu is benevolent and righteous, I can't bear to lie to Brother Zhu anymore, the ancestor is indeed Sun En's senior, but we went to sea not to look for Sun En, but to find immortals!" ”
Zhu Xu frowned and asked, "Looking for immortals?" Brother Wang, do you believe such a thing? ”
"There are indeed islands inhabited by immortals, I can swear!" ”
Wang asked: "Brother Zhu still remembers Shi Shen?" ”
Zhu Xu said: "Remember! Shi Shen of the Netherworld, the last time he instructed Qian Hong to block the official road with a boulder! ”
Wang asked: "That's right! Those of us are playing a brutal survival game with the Netherworld, ending on an island inhabited by immortals. It's unpredictable that we will live and die here, so please accept this silver ticket from Brother Zhu! I am grateful to Brother Zhu for his great help and make up for my guilt! ”
