Chapter 14 Escape from the Wharf
That night, several people stayed in Yangzhai, each bought some gadgets in Yangzhai, and continued to rush to Wancheng in the early morning of the next day. The point of the double carriage www.biquge.info is not only stable, but also fast, and it is the end of autumn, there are not many pedestrians on the road, a few people look at the autumn colors on both sides, and they will arrive at Wancheng.
Seeing that the time had recently fallen, Gao Zhong looked at the sky and said leisurely, "Brother Wu, let's go to the dart bureau to hand over this car to the dart bureau, and ask them to return it to the boss, if there is no problem, let's set off tonight."
Ruoyun jumped out of the car, then helped Ning An to get out of the car, and also said to Shaoyuan, "Shaoyuan, let's find a place to eat first, senior and Brother Wu will go back to the dart game, it is estimated that they will not be able to leave so soon for a while."
Shaoyuan looked at Gao Pet, Gao Pet also nodded in agreement, and got Gao Pet's affirmation, Shaoyuan also jumped out of the car. Gao Pet said to them, "I have been flying pigeons for a long time, and it is estimated that the time will not be too late, you can eat near the dock, don't go too far, I will go to you after solving the matter in the dart game."
Shaoyuan "No problem, see you later"
Wu Xu waved the reins, and the carriage started again, and as he moved away from them, Wu Xu said with a calm expression, "Childe, when I was on my way today, I always felt that someone was watching us nearby, so I couldn't help but speed up the carriage." Presumably Childe realized something, right?"
Gao Chong frowned and nodded, "That's right, it is estimated that when I was telling the story yesterday, Ruoyun accidentally revealed his identity, and it is estimated that there are people present who know about it." But it's not sure if anyone really wants to harm us, and if so, who?"
Wu Xu: "Childe, if Yun Gongzi and they go to eat on the edge of the dock at this moment, will it be dangerous?"
Gao Zhong shook his head, "It stands to reason that it won't, Ruoyun and Shaoyuan are both martial arts practitioners, and their internal strength cultivation is not bad, it doesn't make sense at all, Ruoyun pulled Shaoyuan and suddenly wanted to eat, I guess I just wanted to test it"
Wu Xu: "I see, then let's do it as soon as possible."
After a while, Ruoyun and Ning An, Shaoyuan had already come to the dock, and came to the vicinity of the dock, where the dock was bustling, Ruoyun's pace slowed down significantly, and then kept observing the restaurants on both sides. Shaoyuan came to Ruoyun's side and whispered, "Have you ever found out?", Ruoyun just wanted to speak, Ning An said, "Brother Ruoyun, the markets here are all for people who work on the docks, they are all noodles, steamed buns and the like, I don't think I need to think about it." Ruoyun just wanted to speak, when he heard a steamed bun and bun shop shouting, fresh steamed buns were baked, and meat buns were also baked. Ruoyun smiled and said, "Sister An, we are tired from the day, no matter what, we should eat something fresh, let's go."
The three of them sat down inside, and the people who ate here were just dock workers and coolies, and the smell of sweat mixed with the air, and there was a sour smell. The boss saw Ruoyun and them coming in, and then greeted them, "The three guest officers are outsiders at first glance, they are gorgeously dressed, and they are willing to come to the small shop unexpectedly."
Ruoyun nodded and said, "Boss, I want freshly baked steamed buns and meat buns, five each, wrap the steamed buns, and the buns will be served directly."
The boss heard "Okay, guest officer, wait a minute"
Shaoyuan looked at Ruoyun in confusion, "Ruoyun, why are you buying so much?
Ruoyun smiled and said, "Let's eat in a hurry," after speaking, he ordered some tea with his hand, and wrote a word in front of Shaoyuan. Shao Yuan was secretly startled, and Shao Yuan replied, "Boss, do you have any vegetable buns here?" and wrote "where" on the floor with water. The boss smiled and said, "Yes, some guest officers, how much do you want?" Ruoyun replied to "Boss, let's have two first" and wrote "unknown" on the table.
At this time, there were a few people dressed in dock clothes outside the door, and they said to the boss, "Boss, come three meat buns", and then sat down and leaned against the front door.
Shao Yuan said with a smile while eating the buns, "Although the skin is a little dark, it is clearly not long after the coloring, the feet are strong, the porter is as calm as he is under the plate, and his body is generally stretched when he sits down, but they lower their heads, clearly afraid that we will find out, will they feel that they are out of place with the surrounding boatmen?"
Ruoyun heard Shaoyuan's analysis and said with a smile, "I'm in charge of the left"
Ning An watched the two of them write from just now, his face was already white at this time, and he was a little flustered, and he wanted to look back at those who were blocking the door, but he was held in Ruoyun's arms, "Sister An, eat, you are also hungry", and then whispered "Don't be afraid, I'm here", Ning An took the steamed bun, looked at Ruoyun blankly, and then nodded, thinking to himself, "Yes, Brother Ruoyun is next to me, his martial arts are so high"
Shaoyuan bit the steamed bun and said, "Don't be, just protect Miss Ning"
Ruoyun looked at Ning An gently, "Sister An, if something happens in a while, you will immediately get under the table, you know?"
Ning An nodded.
Ruoyun "Listen to my order one, two ......" Shaoyuan pressed the scabbard with his hand, waiting for the opportunity
The air was imperceptibly quiet, as if waiting for a blood donation to break the silence
"You guys are here, eh, there are buns to eat" The life outside the door shouted, breaking the silence of the air, the person who came was Wu Xu, Wu Xu entered the bun shop with a big grin, and then sat down in front of a table of them, picked up the bun is bite violently, and then took out a piece of paper from his arms, which said "Wait for the fire to start", the three of them looked surprised, but saw Wu Xu's calm expression.
Suddenly, shouting outside the door, "The east warehouse is on fire, everyone go and put out the fire"
Hearing this, a large number of boatmen who were originally eating steamed buns in the store stood up one after another, threw down the money and went to fight the fire, the east warehouse is the largest warehouse, if it burns, it is estimated that they will not be able to share the wages, it is close to winter, everyone has to save money for the New Year, and they want to fight the fire at the moment, that is, everyone stood up one by one, blocking the sight of the two tables inside and outside the door, so they had to stand up to monitor Ruoyun and their two tables, and suddenly a boatman said, "Where is my money bag?" , but it was Wu Xu who quietly touched his money bag, and without hesitation, he immediately threw the boatman's money bag on the stool of the person at the door, and then shouted, "On his stool, I just saw him steal it." In fact, this sentence is very unreasonable, because the difference between the two is still a little distance, but the boatman himself is nervous about the money bag, first thought it was stolen, and then lost and recovered and didn't think so much, the people around him are brothers who work on a dock, and immediately surrounded the table outside the door, the table person pressed behind him, wanted to pull out the dagger, but was held down by the people on the side, and then played a round and said, "Brothers, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, you see, I am more than five steps away from you, how can I steal your money bag?" Presumably this big brother was accidentally lost here, it must have been a misunderstanding. Then he put the money bag in both hands. The boatman opened the money bag and checked it carefully, and the money was not less, and realized that it should be a misunderstanding, so he was embarrassed to say, "Ah, brother, I'm sorry, brother, I'm in a hurry, and I almost blamed the good guy" The leader of the table said, "Where, where is it, we who are carrying boats, it's hard to make a few bucks, and we can't help but feel a little distressed" Someone among the boatmen suddenly shouted, "Let's hurry up and put out the fire", so a dozen or twenty people walked out. The assassin at the table looked fixedly, Ruoyun and them had a table, except for a silver ingot, there was nothing left of the steamed buns, and of course there was no one. It turned out that Ruoyun had already slipped out of the store just now when the boatmen were defending themselves.
The assassins looked to the side of the dock, and Shao Yuan looked into the store, and Shao Yuan smiled and beckoned, making a gesture of goodbye.
The high pet on the boat was already hungry, and sat at the stern of the boat, biting the meat bun while asking, "Shaoyuan, who are you waving to?"
Shaoyuan was amused, "You just ask Ruoyun to know, it was also exciting just now, by the way, Ah Pet, what are you ordering? The smoke is so big, it won't really burn the warehouse, right?"
Gao Pet shook it, "The East Warehouse is so big, if you want to burn it, you won't be able to get this smoke out in half an hour, and besides, I can't really burn it, right?"
Shaoyuan thought for a moment, "Then, you lit wolf smoke?"
Gao Pet nodded, "Correct solution, the smoke is big, enough to trick them into fighting the fire"
At this time, Ruoyun came out of the cabin, "Senior senior, how did you know that we were ambushed in the steamed bun shop, and then made this plan?" Gao Pet patted the arm on his hand and signaled to let go.
Gao Zhong took a breath and said, "No, if my guess is right, if Brother Wu enters half a step late, you will kill those people, right?"
Shaoyuan nodded, "That's right, we did have killing intent"
Gao Pet "That's right, I also made a temporary decision, and whether they are real boatmen or not, killing people at the dock is killing people in the territory of the Jianglong Gang, it's very troublesome, this is someone else's territory, it's better to be careful." As for the wolf smoke...... I don't know why there is a warehouse, but since there is, I'll borrow it and not burn the warehouse."
At this time, Wu Xu ran over from the shore, "Childe, you are ready, you can start the boat, Shaoyuan, you don't want to stand on the shore anymore, hurry up and get on the boat"
It turned out that when Shaoyuan saw the boat floating in the water, he couldn't help but be afraid. Although he has seen it all the way south, he has only made a small ferry on the side of the Yellow River, and the small ferry boat is more crowded and relatively stable, but this boat is not.
Ruoyun looked at him with a bad smile and said, "It seems that Shaoyuan, who is not even afraid of killing, is afraid of taking a boat"
Shaoyuan rolled his eyes, "Nonsense, you, you wait, I'll come right away"
Wu Xu was not angry, beckoned the workers on the shore to lift the rope, and took advantage of Shaoyuan's lack of attention, hugged Shaoyuan and jumped onto the boat.
"Ah............h
Gao Chong said to everyone, "Time is in a hurry, I can only find this boat, everyone will be on the way, just go to Xinye"
Ruoyun helped Ning An to the bow of the boat, watching the afterglow of the sunset fall on the river, Ning An not only sighed, "It's so beautiful"
Ruoyun said, "Jiangdong is a fairyland on earth, I believe that Sister An, you will like it"
Shaoyuan, on the other hand, was anxious in the cabin, "Is it really not sinking?
Gao Chong patted him on the shoulder, "Shaoyuan, don't think so much, the boat is on board, why do you want to do so much, boatman, let's go!"
The boatman yelled "Okay"
The boat slowly left the river, drove to the center of the river, raised the sails, Gao Pet picked up the guqin, and leisurely played the "Fishing Boat Singing Night", everyone gradually quieted down, listened to Gao Pet's playing, and quietly enjoyed the river scenery on both sides of the river under the sunset.
