Zhu Yicomu heard Lao Xiangwang ask like this, and said:

"Okay, you'll know with me!"

At this time, the pair who was hiding outside did not forget to whisper to the white lotus next to him:

"Ling'er, it seems that this Zhu Yicomb is going to ask your uncle King Xiang for a ship to transport those Franc machine guns!"

White Lotus Joy:

"In that case, then my uncle must not know about these Furlong cannons?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"It should be, let's go over and have a look!"

Zhu Yicomb took King Xiang to a cave near the thatched hut, and King Xiang's body was still back to normal.

When Zhu Yicomb ordered someone to uncover a haystack in the cave, he directly stunned King Xiang.

I only heard the old king pointing to these Franco cannons under the haystack and asking:

"This ...... This...... What is this?"

Zhu Yicomb smiled:

"Brother Wang, this is the famous Franc cannon in Nanyang over the years!"

Lao Xiangwang looked at these things in front of him incredulously:

"This ...... This...... Is this really a Furlong cannon?"

Zhu Yicomb nodded.

Lao Xiang Wang immediately asked again:

"And how did you get here, and what are you doing with it?"

Zhu Yicomb said:

"As for how to transport it here, Brother Wang, you don't have to worry about it, let me tell you the truth, this Francophone cannon was bought by my father from Furang at a great cost, as for the use, it was to deal with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court at that time. ”

Lao Xiangwang was shocked when he heard this, and his face instantly turned pale:

"What? This Franc cannon is here to deal with the imperial court?"

Zhu Yi combed back:

"Yes, now Brother Wang, you should understand the purpose of my request for that other ship, right?"

King Xiang said in fear:

"This ...... This...... This kind of thing can be done by this king...... But I can't do it, I'll comb you...... You...... You'd better ask someone else for help!"

Zhu Yicomb suddenly pushed King Xiang, then pointed to its nose and said:

"Old fellow, don't forget, you are now in my hands, and you have been poisoned by me, I took you to see this batch of Franc cannons to give you face, if you don't prepare the ship well, count the gold, silver and jewelry, and cooperate with me to transport these to Zhongnan Mountain, then you will wait to die!"

At this time, King Xiang had to agree to Zhu Yicomb in horror, and then walked out of the cave with it.

At this time, the white lotus, who was hiding on the side, whispered and asked Du Yi beside him:

"Brother Du, when will you be able to save my uncle?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Your uncle doesn't need to save it, the Zhu Yicomb will let it go later, you just wait and see. ”

After a while, Zhu Yicomb and King Xiang walked out of the hut again, but this time there was one more person beside King Xiang, and it was the housekeeper Cui.

I only heard Zhu Yicomu ask King Xiang:

"Brother Wang, I asked Steward Cui to accompany you back to the house, you should have no opinion, right?"

King Xiang nodded a few times:

"Of course I don't have an opinion!"

Zhu Yicomb smiled:

"That's good, I want you to remember that I keep these account books and charges of yours for you, and you don't need me to remind you of the poison, right?"

King Xiang's attitude became very respectful:

"Okay, I'll definitely cooperate with you when I go back!"

Zhu Yicomb looked at Steward Cui, and then at King Xiang:

"Then go back quickly!"

At this time, four people came over with a sedan chair, but the four people who carried the sedan chair were no longer the same people who accompanied King Xiang at the beginning.

King Xiang glanced at the four of them separately, and had to sigh helplessly, and slowly walked into the sedan chair.

Du Buyi and White Lotus found Yang Chengdao and Wuyi, so they found an open space in a secret place outside the city, built a fire, caught some hares and roasted them, and rested on the spot.

When Du Bu didn't forget to open his eyes, it was already dawn, and everyone was asleep at this time.

Du did not forget to wake up the white lotus beside him, and the two of them discussed, and after leaving a message for Wuyi and Tiancheng Daoist, they decided to visit Xiangwang's Mansion in the morning.

On this day, Xiangyang Mansion was very busy, and basically all the servants up and down were not idle, naturally because the old King Xiang gave an order to transport two ships of goods from the manor in the west of the city along the Han River to Hanzhong for sale. So these people are looking around for wooden boxes, ropes and other means of transport, ready to go to the manor in the west of the city.

Although Du Buyi and White Lotus were invited into the palace, the servants only poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them, and then went to work on their own, while White Lotus's uncle King Xiang never appeared.

Du Buyi and White Lotus drank two sips of tea in the guest room, and after waiting for a while, they couldn't sit still, so they came out and pulled a maid casually and asked:

"Why don't you see the old prince, where did it go?"

丫鬟 says:

"Back to Du Gongzi and Miss Bai, the old man Wang Ye and Steward Cui have just gone out, and I heard that they went to the dock to see the cargo ship. ”

White Lotus immediately asked again:

"Don't my uncle and his old man know that my niece is here?"

The maid shook her head:

"I don't know about this, I only saw that the prince and Steward Cui were in a hurry to go out!"

Du did not forget to pull the white lotus and whispered:

"Don't ask, let's go to the docks and have a look!"

Then he said to the maid:

"Miss Bai and I also have important things to do, please ask the old man for Miss Bai to say hello, I'm sorry. ”

After speaking, he pulled the white lotus and hurried out of the palace and headed towards the dock.

But when the two of them arrived at the dock, they didn't see Xiang Wangye and Steward Cui at all, and asked the boatmen near the dock, and they all said that they had never seen Xiang Wangye come here.

Du didn't forget that he couldn't help but be curious at this time, so he said to himself:

"Where will this Xiang Wang Ye and Steward Cui go, where will they go......?"

The White Lotus then said:

"Brother Du, is it possible for my uncle to go back to Zhu Yicomb last night?"

Du Chu shook his head:

"Probably not, since your uncle Xiangwang promised Zhu Yicomb to help him transport his property and the Franc machine gun by ship, and he was followed by the betrayed Steward Cui, there is no need for him to go back to see Zhu Yicomb!"

As the two of them walked, White Lotus suddenly pointed to the boats heading west in the river:

"Brother Du, look, it's really strange, in such a cold weather, there are still people using ships to transport so many reeds!"

Du Bu Bu didn't forget to look in the direction pointed by the white lotus, and sure enough, he found that there was a large ship about four zhang long in the center of the river with straw piled up nearly three zhang high, which looked like a small hill from a distance. He replied:

"With so many reeds on this ship, I guess I'm going to build a house!"

But when the ship gradually moved away, Du Buyi immediately pulled the white lotus and said:

"Ling'er, do you think that ship is a little strange just now?"

The White Lotus glanced at Du and did not forget:

"I think it's normal, what's so strange?"

Du did not forget to say again at this time:

"As far as I know, there are flocks of reeds on the west bank of this Han River, why does this ship need to pull reeds from Xiangyang to the west? Wouldn't they just be cut down on the spot? And have you just noticed? In addition to the boatmen, there are several black-clothed people guarding the boats, if it is a simple reed, why do you need someone to guard it?"

White Lotus was taken aback:

"Brother Du, according to you, there may be something wrong with the ship that pulls the reeds?"

Du Chu did not forget to nod:

"Yes!"

So after the two looked at each other, they quickly found a small boat nearby, hired two strong boatmen, and chased them west along the Han River.

After traveling about two miles in the boat, the small boat of Du Buyi and the White Lotus finally caught up with the big boat pulling a cart of reeds.

Du Buyi and White Lotus took the opportunity to jump into the reed boat, and at this time, seven or eight men immediately surrounded the two of them, only to hear one of the men asked:

"Who are you, and why did you come to our ship?"

Du did not forget to smile lightly:

"We're just curious why you pull a boatload of worthless reeds, and ask you good hands to guard them?"

The man at the head replied:

"You're too nosy, aren't you, what does it have to do with you men and women when we pull our reeds?"

The White Lotus pointed to the pile of reeds:

"Can you let us check this reed for something unspeakable?"

The man at the head immediately said:

"If you are interested, go back to your boat, or don't blame us for being polite!"

After saying that, the leader and his subordinates began to prepare to pull out the knife at their waists.

Du Buyi also tried to pull out the Tai'a sword behind him:

"Are you trying to bully too much?"

The man at the head was very angry and pointed at Du Yi and shouted:

"If you don't roll, our brother's knife will be merciless!"

Du did not forget to pull out the Tai'a sword, aimed at the man who was the leader, and said:

"Okay, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time, so I'm just looking for you to practice swords today!"

The leader of the man shouted:

"What a boy who is not ashamed to speak, today I will let you see the power of the eight of us. ”

After speaking, the eight-person sword technique was very consistent, and Chao Du did not forget to attack the White Lotus.

Du did not forget to signal the White Lotus to step aside first, and immediately took the sword to deal with it.

After blocking the three knives attacked by the eight people, Du Buyi gradually discovered that the knife technique of these eight people seemed ordinary, but it was very strange and unexpected, especially the one that came one after another, almost one knife was stronger than the previous one, and it was more ferocious.

At this time, Du did not dare to underestimate these eight people, so he tried out the set of ghost destroying swordsmanship, and only then did he barely hold on to the eight people.

At this time, the eight people also realized that the man in front of them was powerful, and they only heard the man in charge of the man waving a knife at Du Yifu while asking:

"Your Excellency, who are you? According to Your Excellency's martial arts, it is by no means an ordinary person!"

Du Buyi smiled lightly:

"Then who are you? I am afraid that there is no one else in the rivers and lakes except you who can use the eight-person sword technique so superbly, right?"

The leader replied:

"We are the eight dart masters of the Xiangzhou Dart Bureau, who are you?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"In the lower Du Tanhua. ”

The former Xiangzhou Dart Bureau, although the reputation is not loud, but there are eight strong knife masters, these eight people created a set of eight immortal knife techniques, once also made the people in the rivers and lakes frightened, but because the Xiangzhou Dart Bureau has been closed for almost 20 years, so there has been no news of these eight people on the rivers and lakes for many years.
