Chapter 167: The River Wind Is Like a Knife

In winter, the river is cold, and the river wind is like a knife.

A lonely sailboat on the Qingshui River sailed in the direction of Baoding Mansion in the wind and waves.

Far away in this season, it's actually more suitable to go by road. However, Kong Fang carried 1,000 catties of cement and 100 catties of fine salt, and if he was transported by horse-drawn cart by land, he would need several horse-drawn carts, and the speed was still slow.

The waterway is a little colder, but it is convenient, fast and safe.

Last night, Fang Shiqing had already led the county soldiers to set off, and he had already arrived at the red pine forest before dawn, and he would be able to reach the tiger's mouth after another night of marching tonight.

A big war was about to begin, and he was anxious.

Fang Shiqing is the first time to lead a team to suppress bandits, she is full of confidence and determined to win.

Kong Fang was worried.

Perhaps the mountain bandits in Laohukou are not as fierce as the mountain bandits in Zhu Chongjiu, but they occupy the advantage of the terrain. Fang Shiqing is a long-range combat out of the country, and the disadvantage is that so far, they have not received detailed information about the Laohukou Mountain bandits.

She still hasn't mastered the most critical topographic map of the cottage and the deployment map of the mountain bandits.

Before leaving, he instructed him not to act rashly until he got these two maps.

I hope this tiger girl can listen to her instructions.

His biggest concern was that she wouldn't listen.

With her character, there is a real possibility that she will not listen to persuasion.

Sad.

If the bandit fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Then he thought of Yan Song again.

Although before sending the official letter to Shanyang County, he had calculated that Yan Song would be vain, but when he actually received his reply, he was still angry.

even moved to kill.

You can't take care of the officials and bandits, but your hand shouldn't be stretched in the wrong direction, right?

Immediately, he ordered Fang Shiqing to lead the county soldiers to set off overnight.

It's a pity that no matter how unbearable Yan Song is, he is an official of the court after all, and it is impossible to use a knife directly against him.

Early the next morning, he brought 1,000 catties of cement, 100 catties of fine salt, and of course, glittering gold bricks that everyone loved, and a few scrolls of calligraphy and paintings.

Fang Shiyi said that calligraphy and painting are genuine and valuable.

But he won't feel distressed, because he can't understand it, and besides, their original owner is Zhu Shichang, and he just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.

He went down the river and went straight to Baoding Mansion.

The target is Tang Bolong, the prefect of Baoding. Of course, it is not for his birthday, but for the sake of the upcoming war.

He will not explicitly tell Tang Bolong that he wants to cross the county to suppress bandits.

People in officialdom pay attention to tacit understanding.

He didn't need him to understand what he meant, he just hoped that if he made a mistake in suppressing the bandits, even if Tang Bolong couldn't take a step to protect one or two, he would be able to turn a blind eye.

Kong Fang not only brought the latest fashionable gifts from the Daxing Dynasty, but also carried Mr. Luo's handwritten letter in his arms.

Mr. Luo is not only a Confucian in the court, but also the father of his Tang Bolong's classmate and friend, so he should have face.

At this moment, he was standing on the deck, accompanied by Zhou Yu, the leader of the county military team.

The river breeze is like a knife.

Zhou Yu felt so cold, and his face hurt as if he had been scraped by a knife. But he seems to be unconscious.

The adults stood still, and Zhou Yu didn't dare to leave half a step. He led a squad of county soldiers, responsible for protecting the personal safety of adults, although the waterway was safer than the land route, but he did not dare to take it lightly.

"Hey, aren't you cold?"

Fang Shibo, who had sworn not to enter Qinghe City for the rest of his life, was brought back to Qinghe City from Fangjiazhuang by Fang Shiqing yesterday, responsible for protecting Kong Fang.

Ximen Feixue was transferred to deal with Mao Laoba, and Fang Shiyi had to manage the affairs of the Fang family and preside over the daily work of the county soldiers, and he couldn't get out.

Fang Shibo is naturally the best choice for Kong Fang's personal bodyguard.

Although he is still a little kid, his combat effectiveness is not inferior to Zhou Yu and one more county soldier. He was originally Kong Fang's little follower and bodyguard, who expected that this time he would want to pick a pick, but after being whipped by Fang Shiqing, he changed his original intention.

Qinghe County is not a sea of swords and fires, just go!

While wiping his tears, he handed over the fine salt workshop to Agui.

After Fang Shiqing set off, he didn't like Kong Fang horizontally and vertically.

This little white face not only snatched away his beloved woman, but also separated the relationship between his eldest sister, causing him to be whipped, this revenge is not a gentleman!

When he first got on the boat, he wanted to throw the little white face into the river halfway to feed the king.

But he remembered the eldest sister's instructions before going out, if something happened to the little white face on the road, he would be punished doubly.

Think again, forget it.

Anyway, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

What he is most aggrieved about is that when his eldest sister treats him badly, he hopes that his eldest sister treats him better every day, and he is still unhappy for him; Now that the eldest sister is good to him and treats him as a baby, he robs women with him again.

He's going to give him a bodyguard for free!?

I thought to myself, why should he be so good to him with a little white face with a foreign surname?

There are so many women outside him, let him find those women to protect him.

He also tried to tell his eldest sister several times that he had a woman outside. But when he thought about it, it seemed that he had no proof that he had a woman outside. It seems that it was all wishful thinking on the part of those women, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary at all.

So, he hoped that Kong Fang would make mistakes in the style of men and women.

So he finally made up his mind to follow him.

There is no cat in the world who does not steal food, as long as he dares to steal food, he will definitely find evidence!

"Sebo, you kid is getting more and more rude! Lao Tzu has a name and surname, but he is not called Hey, and his public identity is your brother-in-law!" Kong Fang turned his head and reprimanded.

Of course, he understood that Fang Shibo had a thorn in his heart.

He felt so tired.

Yes, my brother-in-law and brother-in-law are jealous!

Do you dare to write like this in an online article?

But the so-called jealousy is a fictitious thing, the problem is that Fang Shibo, this kid, actually put on a face for him, do you say he is wronged?

Since easing relations with Fang Shiqing, he was no longer afraid of Fang Shibo's unicorn arm.

A man with a backer, the waist pole is quite hard drops!

So he unceremoniously reprimanded.

Children should be civilized and polite, didn't the kindergarten teacher teach you?

"You ......"

Fang Shibo was already quite annoyed by Kong Fang's reprimand, he even thought he was a little kid!

Why don't you treat Lao Tzu as a little kid, do you want Lao Tzu to be your bodyguard?

Is it illegal to employ child labor?

He wanted to run away and kick Kong Fang down the Qingshui River, but Fang Shiqing's warnings kept ringing in his ears, and he finally had no choice but to give up.

Hmph, what kind of man is hiding behind a woman?

He turned around and walked away, and went back to the cabin to lay down his body.

Kong Fang turned around again, there was no Fang Shibo behind him, he shrugged, quite helpless, no one can understand the world of bear children.

At noon, the sailboat had sailed out of the Qinghe boundary.

Xiangshui County.

It is embedded between Qinghe County and Baoding, thirty miles of waterway, and you will go to Baoding Mansion after walking.

But the 30-mile waterway is a high-risk stretch. Because there are many bays here, the river is wide and the water is slow, and there are several tributaries and forked rivers, the superior geographical environment has become a breeding ground for evil.

Ten miles further, with the sound of a gong, a wooden boat about a hundred meters ahead sailed out of the bay road, blocking the way.
