From Liangshanbo to the Bohai Sea under the flow of the river, connecting Dongping Mansion, Jinan Mansion, Zizhou, Qingzhou, is also an important golden waterway, although not as good as the Guangji River upstream, but there are many ships on the river, especially after entering Jinan Mansion, it is more prosperous.

Jinan Mansion was originally known as Qizhou, named after the Dongping Mausoleum located in the south of Jishui, the Great Song Dynasty and six years, the imperial court promoted Qizhou to Jinan Mansion, under the jurisdiction of Licheng, Yucheng, Zhangqiu, Changqing, Linyi 5 counties.

Jinan Mansion is economically rich and culturally prosperous, and is the important place of finance and taxation of the Great Song Dynasty, and the annual tax paid is four times that of Dongping Mansion, and its status is far better than that of Dongping Mansion.

Zeng Mi used to pass through Jinan by boat, but Hua Rong was the first time. When he followed Song Jiang from Qingzhou to Liangshanbo, he took the land route.

"As soon as you enter Jinan Mansion, there are more hotels, inns and businesses along the coast, Jinan Mansion is really prosperous, we are in Dongping Mansion, the coast is full of high mountains and cliffs, wilderness and dense forests, and sparsely populated!" Hua Rong stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the two shores, and sighed to Zeng Mi.

"Hehe, Brother Hua hasn't been to Jinan City, has he? When you come back, you should definitely check it out! If it weren't for the mission, I'd like to lead the way! ”

"Oh? What is special about Jinan City? ”

"Nothing else is uncommon, but there are many springs......

Zeng Mi was talking, and suddenly "Huh! He pointed to the rear and said, "Look, someone is approaching us!" ”

Hua Rong looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a small boat diagonally behind.

The small boat should have rowed to the big boat in Zhujiazhuang from the shore behind, and the two people paddled at a fast speed and quickly approached.

Hua Rong and Zeng Mi glanced at each other, not knowing what the situation was, but they were not worried, and waited and watched.

The boat approached, and a man stood at the bow of the boat, and said loudly: "Brother Hua, do you still recognize the little brother?" ”

"Please forgive me for being clumsy, your Excellency's name?" Hua Rong was puzzled in his heart, there was a young scholar on the boat, he had never seen it, and his face was very raw.

"Brother Hua is really a noble person, we have seen it in Dongping Mansion!" The man said lightly.

Hua Rong and Zeng Mi's faces changed, and they hurriedly invited him to board.

"My brother is very raw!" Hua Rong looked at the strange young man, and saw that he was wearing a scholarly shirt, medium stature, handsome and straight, with calm eyes, and he looked very calm.

"In Xia Fan Xiu, working in the dark guard camp, I often run around outside, so General Hua and General Zeng Er don't recognize me."

Just because he can say the words "Dark Guard Camp" and recognize himself and Zeng Mi at the same time, Hua Rong already believes him eight points, but continues to probe: "You were on the shore just now, so far away, how do you know that I am on the boat?" ”

Fan Xiu smiled slightly, and took out a bamboo-like cylinder from the bag on his waist.

"Claircase?" Zeng Mi was shocked, this thing developed by Zhu Long himself is very magical, he can see the scenery more than ten miles away, and of course he can also find the enemy army more than ten miles away, it is a very precious military weapon, it is listed as a high secret of Zhujiazhuang, and at present, only the main general and the generals at the level of the left and right generals have.

In the entire Qianji camp before, his father was always equipped with one, not even Su Ding. Several of their brothers often use it to play, and now the clairmind mirror is also given to Zeng Suo to use.

It's not that Lao Zeng is partial, the boss Zeng Tu is the general of the White Tiger Army, and he has already distributed one; The fourth Zeng Kui was not needed in the dragoons; He does his own logistics, and he doesn't need it; Only the third and fifth children sometimes lead the troops alone, and they can use the clairvoyant mirror.

Hua Rong was also a little surprised, this Fan Xiu's status in the dark guard camp was not low, but he had never seen him!

Fan Xiu looked at their expressions, smiled, and said, "Actually, I recognized the loach boat first, such a big ship is more conspicuous than the two. ”

With a clairvoyant mirror and a knowledge of the loach boat, Hua Rong has completely believed in this strange young scholar.

He clasped his fists and saluted, "I don't know what Brother Fan has to say?" ”

Fan Xiu's face was straight, he looked at Zeng Mi, then looked at Hua Rong, and said: "We have Jeju in the south of Zhujiazhuang, four states in Hebei such as the Daimyo Mansion in the west, Jinan Mansion in the north, and Mount Tai in the east. In the west and south, we have all operated, only in the north of Jinan Mansion, there is no foundation. ”

"Half a month ago, Wu Xuexue, the commander of the Left Army, ordered me to come to Jinan Mansion and install some eyeliner in case of emergency."

"Two days ago, I received a flying pigeon from Wu Junshi, telling me that you were going to pass through Jinan Mansion by boat, and ordered me to escort you secretly."

"So for the past two days, I've been keeping an eye on the boats on the river, and today I'm waiting for you."

After listening to Fan Xiu, Hua Rong and Zeng Mi understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"I wonder if there's anything we need to pay attention to?" Zeng Mi asked.

"It's a bit of a hassle!" Fan Xiu frowned and said: "Because of the rampant water thieves in Jinan Prefecture, the prefect appointed a water thief observer, named He Quan, with 300 sailors and 12 large and small boats, to strictly check the ships coming and going. ”

Hua Rong smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "So conscientious, I'm afraid it's for oil and water, right?" ”

He used to be an officer in the system, and he knew the unspoken rules of the government well.

Fan Xiu smiled and said, "General Hua is right! ”

"But it's not easy to get through, two boats, plus sailors, three or four hundred strong men, there are battering nails in the bow and stern, and there are crossbow platforms on the deck, even if they are given silver, then Rausch doesn't dare to collect them for thieves and observations!" Zeng Mi frowned, he used to be in the smuggling business, and he often dealt with these people, and knew their rules.

These officials do not collect all the money, and they will never dare to risk killing their heads to collude with bandits and thieves.

Hua Rong also understood this, and also bowed his head and remained silent, pondering.

Fan Xiu smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, since the junior brother took the initiative to find you, he naturally has a solution!" ”

"Oh, I wonder what Brother Fan has planned?" Hua Rong was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

"There are two options, one is to get off the boat and take the land route instead. The other is to change ships, these two ships are obviously warships, and they can't pass the level. ”

Hua Rong was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Can you break through?" ”

"Yes!" To their surprise, Fan Xiu gave a very positive answer.

Then the conversation changed and said: "Our ship is big, the wind and the water are smooth, and there are waterwheels to help, there are six crossbows on each boat, and there are only twelve ships on the water, which are much smaller, and they are just ordinary ships, not even warships, and they can't stop us at all!" ”

"However, when I came back, the water was flowing up, and it was troublesome. As long as they find out in advance, and then cross the river in chains, then these two loach boats will not be able to go back! ”

Zeng Mi said: "Brother Hua, why don't you change ships, what do you see?" ”

Hua Rong knew that although his position was higher than Zeng Mi, Zeng Mi was the main one on this trip at that time, and he was actually his bodyguard.

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "You decide!" ”

Zeng Mi nodded and said, "Then there is Brother Lao Fan, let's change the ship!" ”
