Chapter 1172: The Wanderings of the Three Treasures
When the sand boat came to the dock, it did not dock, but lowered a sampan. Then he sent someone to pick up people from the shore with a small sampan.
It should be too troublesome for large ships to dock and shore frequently......
The old twelve, who was watching from a distance, was finally convinced, and sighed: "This is really impossible to ambush them." ”
"No plan can be made by wishful thinking. The other party is not obligated to cooperate with us in the performance, so in addition to taking into account all unexpected situations as much as possible, make a detailed plan. Another very important point is to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of people and let the front-line soldiers adapt to the situation. Zhu Zhen has also entered the role this time, teaching his little brother anytime and anywhere.
The eldest grandson of the emperor and the old twelve nodded vigorously, and the old eleventh brushed and wrote it down in the notebook.
~~
While speaking, the small sampan landed on the shore, and a eunuch in civilian clothes jumped onto the dock with two tall men.
"Brother Zhou, Wanfu." Eunuch Feng hurriedly nodded and stepped forward to greet him.
"Xiao Feng." That week, my father-in-law didn't blink his eyelids, obviously not taking him into account. "How's the harvest going for the past three days?"
"It's really unlucky, so I dug up a medicine lead." Eunuch Feng was careful, and he also presented a blue sea ticket with a face value of two taels in his hand.
"Why so little?" For the sake of the silver, Father-in-law Zhou didn't reward him with a big-eared shave, of course, he couldn't run away with a stinking scolding. "We're all as slack as you, when will we be able to make a difference?"
"Brother Zhou will take care of it." Eunuch Feng said with a bitter face: "This work is getting harder and harder to do, at this time, who will leave the child at home and wait for us to come to the door?" ”
"If it's hard, you have to do it!" Father-in-law Zhou took the ticket angrily. "Most people have no relatives outside of Yanzhou, they can only hide their children in the local area, and if they think about it, they will definitely find someone!"
"Hey, I'm trying to figure it out." Eunuch Feng nodded like pecking rice, he beckoned and asked Deng Duo to take Ma Sanbao down from the donkey cart. "Brother Zhou will bring this one first, and I will definitely get a few more next time."
"Hmph, you said we wouldn't come. It took so much effort to be such a broken child. Eunuch Feng said and ripped off the sack covering the child's head, glanced at Ma Sanbao with a frightened face, and couldn't help but say in disgust: "This is a bit old, isn't it?" ”
"It's not big, this kid is only ten years old, but he's in a hurry." Eunuch Feng hurriedly laughed and said, "Besides, it's all here, how can there be so many children over two years old and under ten years old?" Will it be, as long as it's still a child boy? ”
"Ugh." Eunuch Zhou nodded and said, "Don't take it as an example, don't make a fool of such an old age next time." ”
In fact, the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy did not take it wrong, but if he didn't say that, how could he knock on the bamboo pole below?
In the end, he told Eunuch Feng again: "The sixth brother of the prince is coming, let's stop work for a few days, but don't close the team, keep an eye on the people for the prince, don't let them talk nonsense." ”
"Oops." Eunuch Feng responded, but there were turbulent waves in his heart, and he secretly shouted, could it be that person is really the prince and his brother?
Then, isn't the child called 'Eagle' the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Xiongying?
At this time, the sergeant under Gonggong Zhou had already carried Ma Sanbao on the sampan.
Eunuch Feng helped Zhou Gonggong to get on the boat, and the moment he approached the sampan, he wanted to step on it and flee with him...... Thinking that he was going to castrate the future emperor, he was directly frightened and wet his crotch. How dare you go back?
Unexpectedly, his arm was grabbed from behind, and Deng Duo said with a smile on his face: "your father, you have to be careful of your feet." ”
Gonggong Zhou didn't hear anything unusual at all, and said with a smile: "This subordinate is quite eye-catching. ”
"Huh." Eunuch Feng endured the sharp pain on his arm as if he was caught by pliers, and said with a sneer: "Brother Zhou has gone all the way. ”
"What's that?" Gonggong Zhou snapped, slapped his hand, and threw Eunuch Feng's face to the side.
"Talk a little bit brainy." Zhou Gonggong coldly dropped a sentence, and then took Ma Sanbao to leave the trestle on a small sampan.
Eunuch Feng covered his cheeks and cried into tears, not because of this slap, but because of the terrible things he had done for himself......
~~
Zhu Zhen didn't care about his little action, and when he saw that Ma Sanbao was picked up, he said to the three of them in a deep voice: "Let's go too." ”
"Uncle Six, where are we going?" Zhu Xiongying hurriedly asked.
"Yanzhou City. Lao Shi didn't wait for anyone yesterday, and he must have been in a hurry. Zhu Zhen said lightly.
"Go to him now? Don't wait to save someone? The old twelve asked puzzled, but the old eleven pulled him and didn't let him ask any more.
There are some topics that are inconvenient to discuss, even between brothers.
~~
Here, Zhu Zhen and his entourage returned to their official boat moored in the lake, left Nansi Lake, and slowly went up the river along Surabaya to Yanzhou City.
Over there, Ma Sanbao was also locked in the dark bilge of the ship, surrounded by the sobbing of children, and no one dared to cry loudly, because that would attract the bad guys to beat him.
He felt that there were about twenty or thirty children in the cabin, and that every once in a while three or two more were thrown in. Apparently the boat was picking up the children in the towns along the shore of the lake, and did not return directly to the lair.
With such a unique trajectory, it would definitely be exposed if he stalked about it, so he estimated that Deng had already lost eighty percent of them under his command......
To be honest, he was a little scared, but it had come to this point, and he could only go on hard.
After wandering around the lake for a long time, someone finally opened the hatch and shouted: "It's time to get them all out!" ”
Then some of the soldiers jumped into the bilge, and drove the children out of the cabin like ducks, and those who were too young to move were picked up by them like chickens and thrown out of the hatch.
Ma Sanbao naturally didn't need to be lost, and climbed out of the cabin by himself.
Before he could adjust to the strong sunlight outside, he was kicked off the deck.
The shore is a beach with a high mud content, and the children can't fall down, but many of them are so scared that they cry.
"Don't cry!" Eunuch Zhou scolded with a sharp voice: "Whoever cries will cut off his small ones!" ”
Except for Ma Sanbao, the children were all scared and covered their crotches and didn't dare to cry. In order not to look too dazzling, he also symbolically covered it.
"That's right." Eunuch Zhou nodded with satisfaction, and said in a slow tone: "Don't be afraid." There is food and drink here, and you don't have to work, you can play as you please. The Mid-Autumn Festival will send you back to reunite with your parents. Do you understand? ”
"Understood...... "The children replied timidly.
"But there is one thing, you must be obedient, you have to do whatever you want! It's not okay to grind! The disobedient ones were all chopped up and thrown into the lake to feed the king! Eunuch Zhou said in an accentuated tone: "Remember?!" ”
"Remember......" the children replied unevenly.
"Bring them in." Eunuch Zhou waved his hand, and several sergeants drove the twenty or thirty children into the camp like ducks.
