Chapter 216: Leak
"Brother Zhou, I heard you say this, your matter this time is very dangerous, what is the matter with you in Chizhou, we can help. ”
Xu Feilong is waiting for this sentence, if these two people can really help, Anqing's affairs Xu Feilong is not unable to help, if these two people are useless, naturally he is Xu Feilong, not Zhou Yong, what Zhou Yong promised has nothing to do with him, seeing that Xu Feilong is not in a hurry all the way, and he is looking for a helper here, he knows that his matter is difficult this time. Of course, push and drag still do.
"Well, you really don't have to!"
"Brother Zhou, do you think we are friends?" Qi Qiying asked solemnly.
"Of course. You ......"
"If you think we're friends, you should let your friends share their worries......"
"I really don't need this one. ”
"Oh, you're looking for an enemy?"
"Not an enemy. Just as I am willing to help you find the murderer who has killed five corpses and six lives, I am here to hoe out a great villain who has killed countless people. This person is not only famous in martial arts, but also heard that his Xuanmen Taoism is also unparalleled in the world, I have been tracking him down for five years, and he has not heard from him for many years, so it is so difficult to find me. It is rumored that he may go to Jiuhua Mountain this time, so I came here. ”
"Oh! I know who you're looking for. Wei Ying said awe-inspiringly.
"You know? ”
"Brother Zhou. Don't underestimate your brother's abilities. Wei retribution said: "What happened five years ago, but the world shook ......"
"Now that I know. Then let me ask you?" Xu Feilong hurriedly said, "Do you know about the Jiuhua Conference?"
"I've heard of it. I heard that there was an evil person who booked this date in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. The boss of the three demons, the demon dragon, is now a spring breeze, and the evil master Shadowless Langjun competed with the two of them, and settled the grudge. You are ......"
"Go and see the wind. There may be someone I'm looking for there. ”
"Hey, it's not easy, I'm worried about you. Cheng Retribution said worriedly: "That man can calmly escape in the encirclement of 100,000 troops." Come and go freely in the sword mountain and sword forest. How can you deal with him?"
"Of course I know I can't deal with him, I'm only responsible for finding out his whereabouts and letting someone else take him down. ”
"Oh, I don't know who this man is. The ghost asked.
"I don't know what to say. Xu Feilong's gaze fell on the window: "It's getting dark." The Taiping Mansion has arrived, have you landed on the shore?"
"Yes, listen to you and go back. ”
"Yes. Break into the net, the wise don't do it. ”
"You're going to spend the night on a ship?"
"Hehe! There are a few hundred taels of gold in the bag, no wonder you are worried!" Xu Feilong patted Wei Ying's shoulder: "So, you can't gather too much money." If you have a lot of money, you will be led by the nose by the property! You go quickly, if you suddenly return to Nanjing, you will definitely be suspicious and suspicious, and it will be much easier to go to Anqing to do things in the future. ”
They were talking, and Yu Shuang and his wife sat quietly and listened. Miss Yu's bright eyes kept turning on Xu Feilong's body, and her pink cheeks would suddenly flush with a faint flush, and she also avoided Xu Feilong's gaze as if she was evading.
Xu Feilong didn't pay attention to the girl's expression, Xu Feilong didn't leave much impression on the woman he had just met, he only instinctively felt that he had a good niece who was beautiful and quiet.
The ship was docking, and there was a rush on board.
Xu Feilong returned to his cabin, leaning on the window to take a look at the busy dock, the sky was not yet completely dark, there were thirty or twenty large ships moored on the wharf, the river could not help but sail at night, and the ships that were moored must be ships that had dealings with the Taiping Mansion.
The ghost saw that he took his niece and heroine to land first, and Wei Retribution escorted Yang Fang, a flying fish with his hands tied on his back, and a person surnamed Li, who landed unsuspectingly.
The two people dressed as masters saw Yang Fang clearly, and they were taken aback, drilled into the crowd, and walked south.
People who have been walking for a long time must have sensitive ears and eyes, a natural hunting dog nose, can smell dangerous breath, and can see suspicious things at a glance.
Xu Feilong, a bystander at the window, knew that it was not good, Xu Feilong immediately packed his bags, and did not greet the boatman, Shi Shiran stepped on the gangplank and disappeared in the busy crowd.
The wharf is a commercial area, but there are still two or three miles away from the city, and there is a moat in the middle, standing at the highest point of the wharf, you can see the West Gate City Gate Tower of Taiping Mansion. The city wall of the city is very high, there are three zhang and six high, plus the height of the city gate tower, the ship can be seen in the middle of the river.
To the north of the pier is the post station of Taiping Province.
Seeing that the ghost was worried, he took the lead, went straight to the gate of the post station, and met a post man, he stepped forward and hugged his fists and asked, "Excuse me, is there still a place to stay?"
"Are you ......?" asked the postman, looking at him.
Ghost saw sorrow took out a volume of documents from his arms, opened it and said: "Please tell the post keeper, I have something important to pass through your place, this is the official document of the accommodation." ”
"But...... There is no official residence at this site, and there are many officials who come to stay today. Well, let's try it at the shipping station in the north. ”
"That ......"
"It's too late to enter the city, so let's settle down in the firewood room at night......"
"Forget it. The ghost saw that he had no choice but to put away the official documents, but he had brought his niece. How can you live in a firewood house? It is indeed too late to enter the city, and the city gate will be closed as soon as it gets dark, and no one will want to leave the city.
"Let's go find the boat. How about being sent down overnight?" said Wei Retribution.
"Okay, give it a try. Find a place to eat first. Dinner hasn't been settled yet. If you can't find a boat, you'll have to find it tonight. ”
Although there are many inns around the wharf, they are all small shops for the accommodation of peddlers and pawns, almost all of them are large shops, and travelers with female dependents must go into the city to find a big inn to stay. Otherwise, they will have to spend the night on the ship.
This delay has caused a big mistake.
They ate at a small restaurant, and then Qi retribution went to the dock to find a boat. Not only could they not find the large and small ships that had been decentralized, but even the passenger and cargo ships they had been on were lost, and according to the people on the docks, the ships docked for only a few moments before hastily unmooring away.
Qi retribution is quite alert. The disappearance of the ship aroused his suspicions, and it was supposed that the ship was supposed to carry a few passengers here, and it was quite hard to sail on the ship, and the ship was slow. The eastern shore of the waterway has numerous reefs, and the western shore is full of shallow sand. What should I do if I am not careful, and I run aground on a reef? It is very dangerous to sail at night here, and it is impossible for the ship to set sail in a hurry.
He had already seen the crisis, and when he paid attention to the expressions of the people on the docks, he was secretly frightened. Yes, there were many people who looked at him strangely, and almost all of them avoided approaching him as if they were avoiding the plague.
Qi retribution should immediately go to the area where the warehouse collapsed to find the people in the official mansion, and the official service of the Taiping Mansion should be found in that area. However, he was disappointed, and in the huge dock area, he couldn't find half of the people who inspected the yamen.
