Lightning and thunder roared, wind and clouds surged, and the torrential rain rushed desperately towards the ground like a ferocious beast.

The large and small ships on the Yangzhou wharf have been docked in the port, and the wharf is empty, only a white light on the horizon is illuminating.

"My lord, everything is ready. ”

Du Yuchen was wearing silver armor and holding a silver gun, standing alone under the storm, his face wet from the cool rain.

"Action!"

He blinked slightly, and whispered in his mouth.

At the same time, a dozen or so soldiers from Yangzhou and Chang'an Mansion rushed out of the hidden alleys and galloped towards the floating ships on the dock at the fastest pace.

Under such a big wind and waves, there should be no talent on the ship, but when Yangzhou Wei surrounded the ship with the Fuchun teahouse logo, a few figures desperately escaped from it. But they had only run a few steps before they were pushed to the ground by Yangzhou Wei, and the rain washed over their desperate expressions.

"Your Excellency, the ship is full of Hibiscus!" a spy swept out of the cabin and hurried to report.

Du Yuchen nodded, and followed to the cabin of the seized ship. In these big boxes, only the top layer contains a small amount of tea, and the bottom is full of poisonous weeds A Hibiscus that has been passed down from the Western Regions!

"Keep searching! There must be more than one ship in Fuchun Teahouse. Du Yuchen shouted in a low voice.

"Yes!"

With the exception of a few soldiers guarding the cabin, the rest of the people withdrew from the cabin. Du Yuchen walked onto the splint, looked at the turbulent river, and couldn't help but feel a trace of inexplicable worry in his heart.

"Tonight's action is going too well, isn't it?" he thought to himself.

This time, only the most loyal Yangzhou guards and the strictly selected Yangzhou soldiers could know about it, and it was also approved by Mu Qingyan, the Yangzhou Governor, which ensured that tonight's operation could be foolproof.

But even so, he has been fighting openly and secretly with the Jin Yu Party in Dongjun for many years, and he still feels that this is too strange. As if someone had already arranged it, they only needed to follow the path carved out by their predecessors and pass through unharmed.

A spy rushed to the splint and knelt down on one knee, "Tell your lord, all the shrimp caught are small shrimp, they are only responsible for transporting the goods, and the rest are not known." The shopkeeper of Fuchun Tea House has been controlled by us, but the strange thing is ......"

"What is it?" Du Yuchen asked.

"So far, we haven't found a single Cardinal. The spy whispered.

"Under the banner of the Cardinal Sect?" Du Yuchen muttered in a low voice, "No wonder there has been no evidence of them smuggling Hibiscus, it turned out to be a trick to get rid of the golden cicada's shell." ”

"My lord, the river ...... A boat has appeared on the river!"

Just then, a soldier pointed to the river and shouted.

When Du Yuchen heard this, he hurriedly looked back, although he was standing on the deck and was blocked by some perspectives, he could still see that an ordinary small boat was slowly moving on the choppy river.

However, the bow and stern of the boat did not see the figure of the boatman, could it be that the boat was drifting down the river by itself until Yangzhou?

But with such a heavy rain and such a big wind and waves, aren't you afraid that the ship will be destroyed and people will die?

"No, it's the ship that doesn't move!" Du Yuchen exclaimed.

There were no oars, no anchor, how could an ordinary boat stand still in the midst of the rushing river? Not to mention the fact that it was still raining in the sky and the wind did not stop for a moment.

How is this possible!

Not only Du Yuchen, but even Yangzhou Wei on the side was inexplicably surprised.

"You show me this ship, and once the wind and waves subside, immediately send someone on board to see what is going on!" Du Yuchen hurriedly ordered.

Du Yuchen couldn't help but think in his heart, "Could it be that the person on the boat is the one who laid out all this tonight?"

"That ship doesn't matter, what matters now is that you need to help find someone. ”

At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind Du Yuchen.

He listened to the voice and subconsciously lost his mind. The voice was so familiar that he could know who it was at the slightest thought.

He turned around quickly, and standing behind him was a figure in a black cloak, and it was not difficult to see that under the cloak, a very delicate face was revealed.

"Zhan Liuli, why are you here?" Du Yuchen looked at this face, and his voice became a little trembling.

Xu Changfeng was arrested, just after he got off the carriage that day. Zhan Liuli said calmly.

"Xu Changfeng?" When Du Yuchen heard these three words, his whole body was angry, why was he everywhere? He didn't have time to think about why Zhan Liuli knew these things, and hurriedly asked, "Who was arrested?"

Zhan Liuli said: "Nine times out of ten, it is the Jinyu Party. ”

"Jin Yu Party?" Du Yuchen was a little stunned when he heard this, and shook his head again and again, "What is the Jin Yu Party doing with him?"

Zhan Liuli fell silent, quietly staring at the silver-armored young man in front of him.

Du Yuchen suddenly realized that he must have asked something that he shouldn't ask, so he stopped the topic. The reason why Zhan Liuli has a relationship with Xu Changfeng must also have an ulterior secret.

"Say, how can I help?" Du Yuchen asked solemnly.

"If you are from the Jin Yu Party, after you kidnap Xu Changfeng, what method will you use to take him away from Yangzhou?" Zhan Liuli did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

Du Yuchen thought for a moment, and immediately replied, "Waterway! In order not to attract attention, it is safest to take the waterway, and tonight is the best time." ”

Du Yuchen paused, and hurriedly asked, "You mean, he's on the boat?"

Zhan Liuli nodded and said: "I can't be sure which ship it is, if I look for them one by one, I will definitely startle the snake." That's why I want your men to keep an eye out for the most suspicious ships. ”

"Okay, no problem. Du Yuchen nodded, at this moment he couldn't figure out this Xu Changfeng.

If it is just a coincidence that he can become Mr. Qin's closed disciple, then it is not just a coincidence that he can get the attention of Zhan Liuli, a talented girl on the first day of the Shengshi Dynasty.

Who is he Xu Changfeng?

Crunch......

The hatch was slowly pushed open by a man dressed in white.

"Adult ......"

"You're here, there's not much time, you hurry up. ”

Xu Changfeng opened his eyes in a daze, at this moment his hands were tied to a pillar, this was a very dark room, outside the room came the sound of waves like the river and the sea, mixed with the sound of showers, chaotic.

"Brother Xu, you're finally awake!"

A candle was lit in the room, barely illuminating the four corners, adding a touch of warmth to the dark room.

"Fish?"

The person who appeared in front of Xu Changfeng at this moment was his childhood playmate, Shi Dongyu.

"Yu'er, what's going on?" Xu Changfeng immediately sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly frowned and asked.

"Brother Xu, don't worry, I'm here to save you. Shi Dongyu said softly.

"Help me?" Xu Changfeng didn't know why, listening to Shi Dongyu's words, his head felt a buzzing sound.

Shi Dongyu gently untied the rope he was bound and whispered, "This matter is a bit complicated, let's make a long story short, you are in a dangerous situation now, and there are many people who want to kill you." ”

"A lot of people?" the boy asked in a low voice, "why did they kill me?"

"Brother Xu, think about it, have you offended anyone during this time?" Shi Dongyu asked as he untied the rope.

"People who have offended......" The young man thought of this, his head couldn't help but feel inexplicable pain, he vaguely remembered that when he got off Du Yuchen's carriage that day, he was surrounded by several mysterious people, and at the same time, the back of his head was hit hard by something, and finally passed out.

"Is it the Gu family? Xu Changfeng said in a daze.

"It's possible. Shi Dongyu nodded, "But, don't you think it's strange? The Gu family wants to kill you, they can do it at any time, why do they secretly lock you up here?"

"I ...... I do not know. Xu Changfeng shook his head, his eyelids suddenly felt very heavy, as if he might fall asleep at any time.

"Have you offended anyone lately?" Shi Dongyu then asked.

Xu Changfeng's head clicked several times like a chicken pecking rice, and then he whispered, "Yes...... It's Du Yuchen...... Du Yuchen wants to kill me......"
