The boatmen were silent. The officials were about to have a seizure, when a swarthy and lean man on the big boat rowed over threw his hand at the bow of the boat and laughed, "Why should Xiangye bother with these untouchables? Please get on board, it's a good day!"

The official immediately dissipated the clouds, changed his face and smiled, "A boatman, how do you know that this official is the prime minister?"

The swarthy man smiled very deferentially: "Huai Xiang is the pillar of the country, and the world knows it. We are like thunder in the mountains and wilderness."

Huaiqing fell out of favor because of the orchid madder incident, and when he heard the words, he felt very useful, and sighed: "I Huaiqing has such a reputation, and God has eyes. Come on, reward the boatman's red gold side!"

A warrior behind Huaiqing shouted, "The boatman is watching."

A golden cake was thrown in the air with a whoosh. The swarthy man was flattered, and was busy stumbling on the bow of the boat to pick it up, not slipping and falling in one step, and falling into the water with Fang Jin with a thud, causing the surrounding boatmen to laugh.

When the swarthy man climbed onto the boat, Huaiqing laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I'll reward you with another one when I get to Yibu."

The swarthy man who was like a chicken in soup hurriedly bowed his hand and said in fear: "Xiao Min has studied kung fu for a few days, and he wants to show his hand in front of adults, but he doesn't want to plant it, and he laughs and laughs."

Huai Qing laughed and said, "Okay, you don't need to inspect it, it's your boats, if you really have kung fu, this official won't dare to use you." After laughing, he turned around and ordered, "Come on, the goods are on board."

In a matter of moments, the cargo filled four large ships. Huaiqing pointed to the two empty ships and ordered reservedly: "One boat for the escort boat, one boat for the officer, get on."

More than 20 armor soldiers flocked to the last boat, but Huaiqing and his two guards and a steed got into the swarthy man's delicate black canopy boat. The swarthy man smiled in horror: "My lord, the boat is small and not heavy, can the adult BMW ......?"

Huai Qing waved his hand and said, "You two go down and get on that big boat."

The two guards hesitated slightly, and Huaiqing's face sank: "Go down!" Together, you don't have as much as this horse, but it's a treasure from the king, understand?" The escort Nuo Nuo continued to speak, and hurriedly got off the small boat and squeezed into the big boat.

"It's sailing—" The swarthy man shouted, and the large ship laden with armor leisurely left the dock, followed by four cargo ships, and finally the swarthy man's canopy boat.

Strangely, all the boatmen on the wharf did not say that eagerly to the wind, but just coldly watched the fleet go out of the watergate and into the waterway, and no one spoke.

When the fleet went out of the water gate, the swarthy man shouted: "Government cargo ship, pull the sails and oars-" The boatmen and oarsmen of the large cargo ship replied with a "ho", and the sails of each ship suddenly pulled up, and the oarsmen also threw off their arms and paddled in unison, and the fleet was full of sails and fast oars, and in a moment it went out of the water and into the Han River.

I didn't want to enter the Han River, so I slowed down leisurely when I ate a heavy cargo ship. The swarthy man shouted, "The oarsmen are resting, Huai Xiang is going to roam ahead and relax, I am waiting in front." With that, the oar rowed suddenly, and the small canopy boat swept through the fleet like a cloud.

The sailors of the big ship shouted in unison, "Boss! Okay—"

A moment later, the canopy boat flew back again, but at the bow stood a woman in black with a fluttering skirt. When the soldiers of the big ship were stunned, the woman let out a long whistle, and the big ship full of armor suddenly tilted, the mast snapped, and it turned over violently. The soldiers had all fallen into the water in a panic and shouting, although they said that the people of Hubei were good at water, how could they be detained by the big boat, and they were in iron armor, and most of them died in an instant.

The two guards and several powerful armor leaders barely escaped, and as soon as they surfaced, they were slapped head-on by the big iron oars, and a red cloud of blood immediately oozed out. In a few moments, all the armorers were completely dead.

The woman whistled again. More than a dozen oarsmen flew into the water and lifted more than a dozen corpses onto the boat. In a matter of moments, more than a dozen armor soldiers stood on the front of the big ship. With a wave of the woman's hand, the small canopy boat flew out, and several large boats followed leisurely.

The fleet traveled along the north bank of the Han River for half an hour, straight into the river, and a day later a small castle on the mountainside to the north was in sight. This castle belongs to the largest Yiren tribe, Huaiyi, and it is also Huaiqing's base in Yibu.

Getting closer,

A harbor bent out of the col, and a bluestone pier lay in front of me. As soon as the canopy boat docked, the woman in black on the bow of the boat suddenly disappeared, but Huaiqing, who was dressed in luxurious silk, landed ashore. I saw him wave his hand reservedly, and more than a dozen armor soldiers on the big ships that docked one after another escorted a team of porters, carrying all kinds of goods up the mountain.

Huaiqing swaggered ahead, looking at the approaching castle, the guardian armor outside the city gate bowed solemnly. Huaiqing also ignored it, and only shouted to the back, "A bunch of untouchables, be careful with me. These are all treasures that the king has given to various Yi tribes, but there is a mistake, feed him to the dogs!"

The armor soldier who escorted the goods was also aggressive, constantly beating the porter with a spear, and followed Huaiqing into the castle. It was another half an hour, and Huaiqing took the armor soldiers out of the castle with the porters.

In a moment, the fleet drifted away like a cloud, and the castle still stood quietly.

In the early morning of the next day, a shocking news broke out in Echeng: the high-ranking and powerful Exiang Huaiqing was assassinated by the Nanlin Society, and his head was hung on the flagpole of the Egong Carriage and Horse Farm!

The Echeng market immediately made an uproar, and people celebrated with their crowns, and the liquor shops, which had been cold for a long time, plummeted to 10% of the price for the Chinese people to gather for wine to celebrate. Who knew that at the moment when the people were jubilant, there was even more shocking news - the leader of the Huaiyi tribe, that is, the eldest son of Huaiqing, was killed by medicine in the secret room of Yibao, and was found by the maid the next day!

When this news came, Echeng suddenly fell silent. No matter how bad Huaiqing is, it is also the appearance of a country, and this time I went to Yibao to contact the various Yibu troops to resist the Wang Shi in front of me. In this case, is there any hope for the country?

Hearing the bad news, Mrs. Yi thundered like five thunders. The only son, E Chong, went to Danyang, the capital of Chu, to be a son-in-law and hostage, and his brother Huaiqing made a fuss because of the collapse of Lanxiang madder, and almost lost his phase. I wanted to take the opportunity of contacting Yibu to make a great contribution and save the decline in one fell swoop, but I didn't want my brother to die before he could get out of the school, what should I do now?

According to the principle that "the biggest beneficiary is the mastermind behind the scenes", she instinctively believes that E Kun must be the mastermind behind this matter, and the worst is also the insider who knows about it. Originally! E Kun has always been obsessed with the loss of the throne of the world (at least she thinks so), now that the E Kun is not in the country, Huaiqing has lost power, and the Hou of E is in a slump, to regain the throne of the world, is there a more suitable opportunity than in front of him?

No, she must fight back, first, to expose Ekun's despicable schemes before Ehou Yu's side, and second, to do everything possible to bring her son back from Danyang. There is no other way. After thinking clearly, Mrs. Yi put on makeup for a while, and then walked towards the bedroom of the Hou Yufang.

In the past few days, he has been inspecting various passes in the north, and he has just returned to Echeng, and he was urgently admitted to the palace by the special envoy of the flying car sent by the Egong Palace. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw his father E Yufang looking at him with a gloomy face, and his stepmother on the side was crying. This must have been a bad comer, so he raised the spirit of 12 points to deal with it.

As soon as she saw Ekun, Mrs. Yi immediately erected her feathers like a fighting, pounced and pulled and pulled, and whimpered: "I am also your stepmother, and you are disrespectful and unfilial to me on weekdays, so that's it; I don't hesitate to treat your tarpon brother, and I will endure it. Now that your brother has been squeezed out of Danyang as a hostage, you should be satisfied. I don't want you to be so wolf-like and kill us......

E Kun was confused when he heard this, and instinctively responded: "What does Mrs. Mother mean, Kun has just returned from patrolling the border, and Mrs. Mother's words really teach people to know what to say!"

Mrs. Yi rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief, snorted and pointed angrily at her stepson and said, "You pushed it all away. Let me ask you, Nanlin Society assassinated Uncle Guo, don't say you don't know anything about it!"

"What?" E Kun was taken aback: "Huai Xiang? When?"

"You're pretending. The news has spread in Echeng, and I pity my brother, who originally brought a lot of generous gifts in order to contact the various Yi tribes to jointly resist the Weihe army. But I didn't want to get on the thief ship of the Nanlin Society by mistake, and the dozens of people in the group all became ghosts. It wasn't enough for them to kill their brother, they also hung their heads in the carriage and horse farm outside the palace, so that he couldn't be completely dead when he died, you are so ruthless!"

"How did Mrs. Mother conclude that Kun was involved with the Nanlin Society? What evidence is there?" Knowing that it was not in vain that he received this sewage, E Kun was also angry: "Is it because I am not on good terms with my mother and wife, I conclude that it is Kunsuo."

Why?"

"You're still quibbling?" Mrs. Yi's slender fingers almost poked the tip of E Kun's nose: "Your wife and uncle have lived in Langu for several months, and that is the nest of the Nanlin Society in Fandi, what else do you have to say?"

"So what? I have been separated from my uncle and my wife for several years, and I really don't know her whereabouts. Besides, I am also the son of the Eguo Kingdom, how can I do such a rebellious thing regardless of public and private affairs and without regard for the face of the country?"

"That's enough!" E Yufang, who had been watching from the wall, couldn't stand it anymore, and angrily took the case to stop the two of them from arguing. Speaking from his heart, when Mrs. Yi was crying, there was indeed a moment when he wavered and doubted Ekun. After all, as soon as Huaiqing dies, I am afraid that there will be no more restraint on the power of E Kun in the court, and he is indeed the biggest beneficiary. But after watching this controversy, he suddenly sobered up, and with his understanding of Ekun, he would never do such a thing that his relatives were painful and his enemies were happy. This matter should be done by the Zhou royal family's eagle dog Nanlin Society, and it has nothing to do with his son.

However, Mrs. Yi can't be uneasy! E Yufang turned to his wife and said, "You really don't have any evidence to prove that this matter has anything to do with Kun'er, and besides, he has just returned from patrolling."
