Chen Li propped up the oars and carefully controlled the boat at the river's edge.

This Qingshui River should have reached the dry period, the wide river did not have the rushing river encountered in the previous dart, the flat boat rowed by, and many boats could be seen stranded and docked on the shore.

Occasionally, there were candles lit on the boat, and someone took a look at Chen Li's boat by the moonlight, and then it was silent.

All the way up the river, gradually, some villages came into view.

The moonlight casts a clear glow, and occasionally birds pass by, which is a rare beauty under the moon.

But Chen Li obviously didn't have this in mind.

After talking to himself, he was silent, and rowed forward as fast as he could.

The cultivation at the peak of the Bone Forging Realm gave him infinite strength, and along the way, Chen Li never even rested.

It didn't take long for the water village on the riverbank to gradually appear in Chen Li's eyes.

At this time, Chen Li slowed down, and then pulled the boat to the shore again.

This is already the territory of Qingshui Water Village, and further on, it will be the central location of Dazhai.

But by this point, it was difficult for the boat to move forward.

Although the Qingshui River belongs to the dry period, the water village seems to have considered the key points of the city defense, and the center is still in the place where the water flow is the most turbulent, and Chen Li's flat boat is easy to be washed away by the turbulent river water.

That's enough, though.

Chen Li changed into a night suit at this time, dressed in pure black, and in the dark night, if you don't observe carefully, it is easy to be ignored.

After he changed his clothes, he went ashore, shouted softly to the night, and then dived down to the highest position of the water village.

Compared with Chen Li's cautious appearance, Xiang Ye was not so nervous.

In this environment, his five senses are extremely sensitive, and he can't escape his ears at all, and at the same time, his night vision is also extremely strong, and he can see extremely far places in the dark.

At the same time, it assists in developing the sense of smell and sniffing, theoretically speaking, unless he actively exposes his figure, it is difficult for anyone to find his traces.

However, it's hard to say when you enter the water village.

After all, in the territory of human beings, there may be some hidden forts, secret sentinels and the like.

Xiang Ye quickened his pace, passing by a wooden house, and his ears moved, and he could hear the long breathing of someone sleeping in the cabin.

The main village of the water village is halfway up the mountainside, and it takes a long distance to walk, but it is not in a hurry to the night, and while walking, carefully look at the classical buildings built next to the Qingshui River.

The last time I came, I just turned around near the main village, leaving an impression that this Qingshui Water Village is not a walled city, and there is no other impression.

This time I walked up from the foot of the mountain, but it made Xiangye even more impressed.

It's a walled city, isn't it?

Halfway through, there was a fence blocking the way.

There were not only fences, but also several large horses, and behind them, there stood a wall at least a foot high, made entirely of wooden poles the thickness of human arms.

Seeing this scene, I was terrified at night.

How is this Cao Gang's water village the same as an ancient military base? Does it need to be fenced off like this?

Chen Li was also a little surprised to see this wall, the last time he saw such a well-defended place was at the location of the first dart in the Changfeng Dart Bureau.

However, that place is obviously a military camp or something, and the people I see are also soldiers in armor, this Cao gang is just a water-transported Caoyun walled city, how can it be so tight.

Chen Li observed the fence for a while, approached and touched it, and found that the wood used for the fence was still very fresh, as if it had been repaired not long ago.

Looking through the gap in the fence, there is a tower halfway up the mountain.

Fortunately, the tower was pitch black, and there was no light in it, apparently there was no one inside.

If someone is stationed, it is very likely that Chen Li will be discovered all the way.

The fence naturally couldn't stop Chen Li, he observed for a while, grabbed the railing with both hands, and climbed in three or two strokes.

As for Xiang Ye, it was simpler, after all, there was no difference between climbing a tree and climbing a fence for him.

The same three or two drilled in, and walked cautiously forward for a while, this time I saw more walled buildings, the area also became larger, and at the same time, the light of the candle flame also became more.

The sound of someone talking came into his ears from time to time, and Chen Li listened to it for a while, nothing more than complaining about the bad harvest this year, the rain was too little, the catch in the Qingshui River was also reduced, and the Qinghe government had increased taxes.

That's right in the dry season, and there has been some drought recently, Chen Li didn't hear the information about Ren Tianxing's father and daughter for a while, so he left here and continued to sneak halfway up the mountainside.

The largest village in this Qingshui Water Village is Ren Tianxing's residence, and there is still a way to go.

On the other side, he walked along the bank of the river.

As the terrain gets higher, the farther away he can see.

Under the moonlight, the sparkling Qingshui River came into view like a milky way, but this time Xiangye did not see the Qingshui River, but stared closely at the place where the Shuizhai Wharf fell into contemplation.

As far as the eye can see, there are extremely large cargo ships parked on the docks, and they are extremely busy even in the middle of the night.

Under the light of torches, a large number of shipwrights removed the goods from the ship, loaded them into horse-drawn carriages, and sent them to the center of the water village.

Xiang Ye glanced at the goods carried by these shipwrights, which were nothing more than grain, cloth, bundles of wooden poles, and the like.

Wait, how is this pole as long as a spear?

The length of the wooden pole is about a zhang long, and the size is just enough for people to hold.

Do the Cao Gang still help people transport arms?

No, this is the water village of the Cao Gang, not the dock of Qinghe Mansion, this thing is for their own use.

Xiang Ye thought of the fence he had seen before, and gasped, good guy, this Cao Gang can't think of the rebellion, right?

You are a gang that does Caoyun in Qinghe Mansion, a gang that can't even beat the Qinglong Gang, and you have such great ambitions to do this? Who gave you courage?

But soon, Xiang Ye understood who gave them courage.

At this time, several people wearing chain mail and holding spears suddenly appeared on the dock, and they looked around the dock like overseers, and then entered the cabin.

Those people are proper soldiers, except for soldiers who can wear armor, ordinary people would never dare to wear them like this.

Does the Cao Gang have a backer again? This time it's not the Long Wind Dart Game, but a real soldier?

It should just be for the Cao Gang to transport military supplies, right?

After all, most of the water transportation in Qinghe Mansion relies on the water transportation of the Cao Gang, and it is understandable that the Cao Gang is responsible for water transportation.

But the problem is that these military supplies are obviously transported to the water village.

What the hell is going on?

After observing for a moment, the soldiers in chain mail came out of the cabin again, this time with a few more broadswords in their hands.

This is not a long-handled glaive that warriors carry with them, but a long-handled glaive knife used to charge on the battlefield.

"What are the people of this Cao Gang trying to do? How to mix with the soldiers. ”

Chen Li searched for the location of Xiang Ye for a long time, and finally found him on the cliff near the river bank, and then looked down with Xiang Ye's gaze, Chen Li was also shocked.

He just wanted to find out about the situation of Ren Tianxing's father and daughter, but what he saw now, he seemed to have discovered some incredible secret.

Xiang Ye turned his head to look at Chen Li, wanting to see Chen Li's plans.

Seeing this scene, regardless of whether the Cao Gang colluded with the soldiers or not, if they outsiders found out about these situations and wanted to be caught, they would have to be dealt with by spies.

This military transportation, as long as it is not one's own people, if it is caught, it will be decided.

Chen Li also seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and he hid behind a boulder, his expression changed.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and got back on his feet.

"Xiong Da, let's keep walking, there was no one guarding the tower before, obviously the Cao Gang hasn't been set up yet, and we will definitely not have such a good opportunity next time."

"I must know Ren Tianxing's movements."

This time to investigate, it is obvious that the defense facilities of the water village are not complete, and when the fence is all repaired and the patrol people are in place, Chen Li will definitely not have a chance to come again.

Therefore, this time Chen Li will never give up.

As he spoke, Chen Li didn't look at the boatman on the dock again, but stepped into the night again and walked halfway up the mountain.

Only this time, Chen Li became extremely cautious.

He carefully hid his body, avoiding the unimportant walled buildings.

His goal is extremely clear, which is the water village building on the mountainside.

Xiang Ye followed, and also became extremely vigilant, this water village is said to be a water village, and now it seems that it is a military point that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Xiang Ye felt that he had a sense of excitement of touching into the enemy's military forbidden area, slightly, which made his qi and blood boil.

You won't get caught, will you?

As soon as he thought this, a dog barking suddenly sounded in the stockade not far away.

Xiang Ye's face is dark, why do everyone like to raise a dog to watch the house?

Is there really a dog where to go, is it annoying?

Chen Li was also a little nervous at this time, he was not afraid of the dog, he was afraid of the person who was awakened, he was about to beat the dog to death according to the sound, but Xiang Ye rushed faster, a white shadow flickered in front of Chen Li's eyes, and then he saw that Xiang Ye had climbed into the wall of the walled building and disappeared.

After a while, there was a "woo" sound in the courtyard, and then it fell silent.

Get.

Xiang Ye crawled out of the wall again, a little blood still on his paws.

did not wake up the owner of the house, and he could continue to move towards the main village.

Chen Li couldn't help but give him a thumbs up when he saw Xiang Ye going and returning.

It's still a big bear, this troublesome dog will be solved at once, if he is replaced, he may not be able to deal with it for a while.

After solving this troublesome dog, Chen Li became more careful, he went to secluded places, sometimes he did not take the road, preferring to climb along the cliffs by the river.

Although the rushing Qingshui River is several hundred meters high, it can at least avoid being discovered.

Xiang Ye also followed behind him, following step by step, his claws could firmly lock on the hard rock, and he could walk faster than Chen Li.

It didn't take long for Chen Li and Xiang Ye to finally arrive at the destination of this trip.

A huge water village appeared in their eyes, and the "Qinghe Water Village" plaque on the village was clearly visible.
