Chapter 396: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

River.

A building boat rides the wind and waves, and a big flag is erected on the ship, and the flag is red on a black background, and the word is a big "Cao".

However, standing on the deck were Wang Cheng, Wu Feilong, and Zheng Cheng.

"My lord, why are we leaving in a hurry?" Wu Feilong couldn't help but ask.

Previously, they got off the dock, and after a few steps, Wang Cheng let everyone get on the boat, which was really incomprehensible.

Wang Cheng explained: "There is an immortal enemy of mine in Lingzhou, and when he learns that I am back in Lingzhou, he will definitely take action!" ”

Wu Feilong opened his mouth, and for Wang Cheng to say it so solemnly, that enemy must be extremely powerful.

He still said: "Your Excellency has become a general of the imperial court, and you have made immortal meritorious deeds, and the marquis will be just around the corner, who else dares to openly be an enemy of your lordship?" ”

"A mountain is higher than a mountain, and a mere four-grade general, what is it in front of the real magnates?" Wang Cheng shook his head and said.

Wu Feilong wanted to speak and stopped, he really wanted to ask who that person was, but seeing that Wang Cheng obviously didn't want to say anything, he didn't ask any more.

He looked out over the river, and the two clippers speeding from the west immediately caught his attention.

He pointed to the man's two clippers and said, "My lord, it looks like a warship." ”

Wang Cheng also noticed that the two clippers were obviously different from ordinary merchant ships and cargo ships.

In addition to two cloth sails, the power plant of the two ships also has oars, which can be propelled when there is no wind.

On the deck there was a war shed, which accounted for about three-quarters of the total length of the ship, and the female wall of the ship was equipped with battlements for archery, and crossbow windows and four large doors around the war shed to facilitate the archers to fire arrows and conceal them.

Flags and golden drums were erected in front of and behind the tent to direct the battle, and several soldiers were on the high platform at the stern of the ship to observe the situation on the water.

It was the first time Wang Cheng had seen the warship of the Great Zhou, which was very similar to the costume historical dramas he had watched.

The speed of the two warships was high, more than twice the speed of the building ship they were on.

"My lord, it looks like they're coming in the direction they're coming at us!" Wu Feilong said worriedly.

Wang Cheng nodded solemnly, he had already dodged in advance, but he didn't expect it to be seen through.

He looked at Wu Feilong and said, "Feilong, can our ship be faster?" ”

"Fast can be fast, but no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than a warship." Wu Feilong said.

When Wang Cheng heard this, he dispelled this thought, called Zheng Cheng to him, and said, "Old Zheng, how are you preparing over there?" ”

"Don't worry! My lord! Everything is ready. Zheng Cheng said with confidence.

"Good!"

Wang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go and prepare, you must not show your feet." ”

Zheng Cheng nodded, turned his head and left,

Wang Cheng looked at Wu Feilong and said, "Feilong, you are a disciple of the Wu family, the water nature should be good, right?" ”

"My lord, it's not the flying dragon that brags to you, just this river, you can swim back and forth without panting!"

Wu Feilong patted his chest, and then, he thought of something, and said, "My lord, do we have to go into the water?" ”

Wang Cheng didn't say much, just said "Let's go", and a fierce man plunged into the river.

Wu Feilong looked at Wang Cheng in a daze, he didn't take off his clothes, and said that he would jump down, which was really the same as his style of leading troops to fight - as fast as the wind!

He didn't take off his clothes at all, followed the position where Wang Cheng entered the water, and plunged in.

After a while, two warships flanked the ship from the left and right.

One of them was stuck in front of the ship, and a soldier on it held a large iron horn and shouted: "Listen, people on board, stop the ship at once, and be inspected!" Stop the ship and get inspected! ”

Soon, out of the bow of the building came a dark-skinned man, with two arms naked, one of which had a white cloth belt tied at the elbow.

He pointed to the word "Cao" on the flagpole, and then pointed to the white cloth belt at his elbow, and said, "Master Jun!" We're from the Cao Gang! Cao Gang's! ”

"Your Excellency has an order, all passing ships are to be inspected and stopped immediately!" The soldier shouted.

"Stop! Stop! That's it! ”

The black man hurriedly let the two crew members standing at the stern drop anchor and stopped the ship.

Suddenly, a gangplank stretched out from the opposite warship and put it on the deck of the building ship.

A group of armor soldiers walked from the warship to the deck of the building, led by a tall, thin young man.

Because of the long exposure to the wind and sun, he looked like a middle-aged man of forty years old, dressed in red fish scale armor, with a large knife hanging from his waist, and a leather crown on his head, clearly a military attachΓ©.

When the black man saw this person, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Meet the general!" ”

"I'm not a general, I'm Sima Qin Fen of the navy."

When the black man heard this, he hurriedly bowed again: "I've seen Qin Sima." ”

Qin Fen waved his hand, let him get up, and said, "Who are you?" Why pass through here? ”

"Han Fei, the master of the Liuyang Helm Hall in Xiacao, bought some spices from Yinshan County and transported them back to Liuyang to sell. As you know, rouge spices from Yinshan County have always been in short supply in our mainland. The black man laughed.

Qin Fen was still expressionless, and said, "Take me in and have a look." ”

"Great!"

At that moment, the black man led Qin Fen through the bow tower and came to the cabin below.

The cabins are also like the forecastle, divided into rooms, which are either filled with miscellaneous items or huge chests.

The black man came to a room and opened the boxes one by one, revealing red brick-like things.

Qin Fen touched it with his hand, looked at his fingers that seemed to be stained red with blood, and said, "This is rouge?" How is it different from what you usually see? ”

"What the adults saw was a finished product, these are only semi-finished products, and some spices must be added before they can be sold." The black man explained.

Qin Fen was no longer entangled, looked around, and said, "It's all rouge here?" ”

"There are still some things we eat, use, and drink, do you want to continue to look at them?" The black man said.

"Let's go!"

Qin Fen went out of the room first, and under the leadership of the black man, he came to another room.

Before I went in, a peculiar smell was already coming to my nose, like the smell of stinky feet.

"Phew! What is it? So stinky? ”

Qin Fen hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, far away from that room, like avoiding snakes and scorpions.

"It's nothing, these are some special bacon transported from Yinshan County, do you want to take them back and try them?"

The black man said and walked into the room, took out a piece of black and came out.

"Stop!"

Qin Fen immediately stopped the black man and said, "You better take this thing back and eat it yourself!" ”

The black man smiled and put the bacon back.

Qin Fen then pointed to the armor who came over and said, "A few of you go over there and have a look!" Remember, don't be around any corner! ”

"Yes!"

The ten armorers immediately divided into two teams, one to the bow and the other to the stern.

After a while, ten armorers returned, and one of them reported: "My lord, no suspicious person has been found!" ”

"Withdraw!"

Qin Fen waved his hand, and then returned to the deck with ten armor soldiers.

The black man bowed forward and said cautiously: "My lord, can my boat go?" ”

"Can't go yet!" Qin Fen said.

The black man was stunned for a moment, then squeezed out a smile and said, "I understand the rules!" I know! ”

As he spoke, he secretly handed Qin Fen a money bag, which was full and looked quite weighty.

Qin Fen directly stuffed the money bag into his sleeve and said, "I accepted the things, but you still can't go!" ”

"Why?" The black man looked confused.

"Your Excellency, all the waterways leading to other places have been blocked, and you can't get out today."

Qin Fen approached the black man and whispered, "For the sake of seeing that you are still sensible, I will show you the way." ”

When the black man heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

"I'm just a sailor here, there is a sailor ten miles ahead, a third sailor twenty miles away, and a total of six sailors. It's not easy for you to get through every way, you understand? "Qin Fen is here.

"Understood! Got it! ”

The black man nodded again and again, he had to pay a piece of silver after passing the water army, how much did the six water army have to pay?

The important thing is that even if they paid six pieces of silver, they would not be able to leave this body of water today.

"Gone!"

Qin Fen patted the black man on the shoulder, and then led his men out of the deck.

"Slow down, adults!"

The black man raised his hand to say goodbye, smiling, and when Qin Fen got on the warship and left, the smile on his face quickly faded, replaced by a dignified and solemn face.

This black man is not an outsider, it is Zheng Cheng, the ship boss in disguise.

Although he has experienced a lot of big scenes, he is still scared for a while.

If it weren't for the fact that Lord Wang had prepared him to deal with it in advance, they would have all jumped into the river just now to take refuge, and if they were slow to react, they would have been surrounded near the dock.

The entire six-way navy, it is estimated that all the sailors in Gaomi County have poured out, and as long as they are still on the boat, it will be difficult to escape their pursuit.

"It is worthy of being a famous general who beat the Xia people!"

Zheng Cheng secretly admired, and then remembered the explanation Wang Cheng gave him before leaving, and he hurriedly asked the crew to lift the anchor.

After traveling a few miles, the boat came to a halt on the shore, and everyone disembarked.

Although five or six of these people were wearing sailor suits, walking staggeringly, and looking seasick, it was Liu Qingsheng and the others who had been disguised.

Liu Qingsheng came to the shore and spoke for a while: "Boss Zheng, why did you get off the boat again?" ”

"When the adults left, they specially explained that they were in the next place, and after the inspection, let me wait to abandon the ship immediately, and the navy is likely to come to check again, although our building ship has changed its flag, but many people have seen it, and it will still attract people's attention." Zheng Chengdao.

"Since it's an adult's explanation, let's go quickly!" Liu Qingsheng said.

"Wait! The adult's horse is still in the cabin, and I'll go and bring it out. ”

Liu Zixiang supported himself, returned to the ship, and then entered the cabin.

After a while, he led Qinglei out of the cabin.

Everyone else looked at him, and they didn't expect that at this time, he could still think about Wang Cheng's mount.

"Don't be stunned! Let's go! ”

The crowd came back to their senses, and then snuck away from the rice field stalks on the shore.

Sure enough, not long after they left, Qin Fen arrived here on a warship.

Qin Fen looked at the boat docked in the reeds, and his face sank instantly.

He leapt onto the deck of the ship, slowly drew the broadsword from his waist, and cautiously walked into the cabin.

walked into one room after another, opened the big box, and the rouge inside was still there.

He frowned, raised his broadsword and slashed at the blood-red rouge.

The broadsword easily split the rouge in half with a "click" sound.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he pulled out a large knife with a force in his palm.

"Bang!!"

The huge wooden box suddenly fell apart, and a pile of livestock and miscellaneous grain was scattered all over the ground.

Where is there any rouge?

It's just a few painted boards!

Qin Fen suddenly felt embarrassed and embarrassed, and immediately ordered a team of armor soldiers to follow up.

"Search! Search for me one by one! ”

Seeing that he was angry, all the armor soldiers quickly dispersed and searched one by one.

Soon the crowd came back to report to him.

"My lord, no trace of anyone was found!"

"My lord, those rouges are fake, with paint on the outside and some miscellaneous items underneath."

……

The more Qin Fen listened, the more angry he became, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Have you checked the room where the bacon was placed?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

The last time they were here, they had already seen it, and it stinked to death.

"Useless stuff! Get lost! ”

Qin Fen picked everyone away, held a knife in his hand, and walked to the room in person.

When he reached the door, a foul smell came to his nose, and he forced himself to endure the discomfort and entered.

I saw that there was a bunch of miscellaneous items in the huge room, and there was not much bacon.

In this pile of debris, he actually found horse manure, which was still fresh!

"How can there be horse manure?"

Qin Fen secretly thought, there is fresh horse manure here, then there must be a horse here just now.

"Horses! Horse! ”

He immediately remembered that the target had come on board with a horse.

"Sure enough, it's him!"

Qin Fen's eyes lit up, and then he immediately came to the deck and fired a signal flare into the air.

Suddenly, three figures appeared here.

One person looks to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a scarlet official robe, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, not angry and arrogant, it is Xu Boyi.

The other man was short, more than a meter tall, with a round head tied in a pigtail, a face as white as if it had been powdered, a collar around his neck, a belly pocket, and a wide black robe.

With such a strange costume, who else could there be besides that old man with a yin boy?

Beside him stood a middle-aged man, dressed in a bright red robe, with a pair of triangular eyes, and a gloomy complexion, as if he was about to drip water.

If Wang Cheng is here, he will definitely be able to recognize this old enemy - He Yiming!

He Yiming looked at Qin Fen and asked directly, "What about people?" ”

Qin Fen hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "Ran away!" ”

Seeing that the crane seemed to be about to have a seizure, he hurriedly added: "They abandoned the ship and fled, it should be nearby." ”

"Nearby?"

The old man of Yin Tong said with a negative measure: "Junior, what you think is too simple. The wreck is so clever, what do you think he left the boat here for? This is nothing more than a trick left by him. He has a strange treasure on him, and once he is in the water, no one can find him! ”

He will not forget that Wang Cheng entered the water in the first place to get rid of the pursuit of the soul chasing beast and him.

"So, he's not here anymore?" Tsuru Yiming said.

"This vast river, it's too difficult to find him, anyway, this seat doesn't have this ability!"

Dropping these words, the old man disappeared from the spot, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that he was gone, Crane Yiming didn't stay long, and also disappeared into a streamer.

Only Xu Boyi and Qin Fen and their subordinates were left on the deck.

Xu Boyi's face was ugly, and Wang Cheng's progress completely exceeded his expectations.

In this life, can he still kill this person?
