Chapter Seventy-Eight: By Sea (Part II)
Kenshin and Kenshin found a big boat on the dock that could go to sea, and they didn't even bother to eat dinner at the moment, so they hurriedly asked the owner of the boat in the village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info After that, I negotiated the price with the owner of the ship, and I was about to go to sea immediately. Originally, the owner of the ship was not happy to set sail at night, but he couldn't stand the yellow and clear gold, Zhang Linxin directly took out two ingots and one or two pieces of gold, and put them on the table, the owner's eyes immediately straightened, where would he negotiate the price again? Directly reached out and picked up the gold and took a bite, and after verifying that it was real gold, without saying a word, he immediately summoned people and began to load fresh water and food on the boat.
In less than half an hour, the owner of the ship and his men packed up and stopped all of them, invited Kenshin and two of them to board the ship, brought the horses up, and placed them in the cabin. When everything was ready, he set sail and left the dock and sailed out to sea in the wind.
At this time, it was already very late, and a full moon had already hung in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone on all parts of the ship, and it was very bright. Kenshin stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the blue sea, and suddenly felt that all the fatigue in his body had been eliminated. It was their luck, although it was already winter, but the strong northwest wind was still blowing on the sea that night, and several sails on the ship were full of the wind, and they sailed quickly in the southeast direction, which was not slower than riding a horse.
The wind and waves on the sea gradually increased, and Kenshin's two cloaks were like the wind, and the clothes on their bodies were blown to hunt, and the moonlight reflected their shadows, falling on the sea, and pulling them out for a long time. The boat took advantage of the wind and ran faster. The two of them stood at the bow of the ship for a while, and then walked back into the cabin and went into their respective rooms to sleep.
The ship sailed on the sea for two days, and the owner of the ship observed the several small islands it passed by, constantly correcting the direction, and telling Kenshin that the two were not far from their destination Dengzhou, and that they would be able to dock in less than half a day. The two of Kenshin were naturally overjoyed when they heard this. Although it took a lot of time for them to make this trip, they finally had time to bring the news to Yue Fei before the Jin soldiers, and this time the Jin Wushu would inevitably break the blood flow in front of the Yue family army. Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin both felt that the day when the Song army would break the Jin soldiers and smash the Yellow Dragon was not far away.
On the morning of the third day, the ship docked at a beach near Dengzhou. They didn't know anything about the situation in this area, and Kenshin naturally didn't dare to let the owner of the ship find a dock to dock, and they jumped ashore not far from the shore, and the two horses in the cabin also jumped up. When the master of the boat saw that they had disembarked and did not make much of a stop, he hastened to order the boatmen to turn the bow of the ship and sail back, and to sail directly to the northwest by the east wind of the day.
The two men went ashore, straightened their clothes, mounted their horses, and galloped southwest along the road. The two horses had been on the boat for more than two days, and had gained enough strength, and as soon as they came ashore and received orders from their masters, they spread their hooves and galloped, and from time to time they would neigh. The two of them didn't feel it, they didn't even eat lunch, and just let the horses gallop.
In the evening, the sky was already slightly dark, and the two of them reined in their horses and inquired, only to know that they had entered the boundary of Laizhou. The two of them found a place to stay and rested for the night, and the next morning, they continued on their way. This has entered the late March, the peach blossoms they saw along the road are in full bloom, and the peach blossom forests one after another are dazzling, and then smell the fragrance of the peach blossoms, which is refreshing, and I can't wait to let people revel in it.
But the two of them still had a heavy responsibility, and they didn't dare to delay for a moment, so they had to pass by and enjoy their eyes, and when they passed by, they took a few glances and continued to hurry. Four days later, they came to Xuzhou, although this is the territory of the Jin people, but because Tarlai and others insisted on negotiating peace with the Great Song Dynasty, the originally small number of Jin soldiers in Xuzhou City withdrew in July and August last year. But the Great Song Dynasty was also out of reach here, and never sent troops and horses to take over. Han Shizhong originally intended to send troops to occupy this place, but because of the lack of troops in his hands, he had to give up, so this place was managed by the Liding Gang first. Fortunately, Wu Daquan, the current leader of the Liding Gang, had also been a soldier under Han Shizhong's account for a period of time before, and the Liding Gang has always been resolutely anti-Jin, so Xuzhou can now be regarded as the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Dugu Jian's master Liu Qingzhou has a deep friendship with Wu Daquan, and the fourth junior brother Jiang Xu has a deep relationship with them, plus when Xu Tianchang and Li Yao got married a year ago, the two of them also met and talked for a while. Passing by Xuzhou City at this time, it is not early, if you find a place to stay for one night, you don't go to visit Wu Daquan, but it is indeed a little unreasonable.
So the two of them discussed, then entered Xuzhou City, came to the helm of the Liding Gang, reported their names, and asked to see Wu Daquan. The disciples of the Liding Gang at the door heard that it was the Dugu head of the Hengshan faction who came to visit, and they immediately did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went in to report. It didn't take long to see Wu Daquan and Gao Guangyuan coming out together, which gave the two of them a surprise!
Before Wu Daquan could speak, Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin shouted at the same time: "Senior Gao!" "Uncle Gao!" Gao Guangyuan smiled, "Two little babies, I haven't seen each other for a long time, the sword looks a lot stronger, and Lin'er has a lot of tricks!" The two hurriedly gave Gao Guangyuan a salute, and said to Wu Daquan: "Gang Master Wu, we are bothered!"
Wu Daquan hurriedly replied: "Dugu Master, where is this, the arrival of the two of them has made our gang shine, we are too late to be happy, where will we feel that it is a nuisance? The men moved into the house and sat down on either side. Zhang Linxin was the first to ask, "Uncle Gao, why did you come here?"
Gao Guangyuan smiled and replied: "After I separated from you a few years ago, I first came to Gang Master Wu and asked him to inquire about the treasure map on my behalf. After that, I went to Mount Tai and Longhu Mountain as originally planned, and informed Chi Xianqiu and Chongxu Daoren of the assassination plan of the Five Colors Sect. Fortunately, we notified it relatively early, except for Liu Zhongyuan, Gu Feng and Ruixin, the rest of them are safe and sound. After that, I walked around Gangnam to find some useful clues. But I think that although the Five Color Sect has the support of the Jin people, after all, the area south of the Yangtze River is the place where the Great Song Dynasty has been operating for a long time, and the power of the Five Color Sect cannot be deepened, so I searched in many ways and found nothing. I still have no clue about the whereabouts of the treasure map. ā
Zhang Linxin glanced at Dugu Jian, and said to Gao Guangyuan with a smile: "Uncle Gao, let me tell you a good news first, about that treasure map, there are already some eyebrows about perfection, just waiting for confirmation." Gao Guangyuan was taken aback: "Oh, this is great!" He looked at Wu Daquan, thinking that he had mobilized so many people and failed to get any news, and it was really surprising that these two juniors could still find clues while hurrying. He continued: "When I'm done, you're talking. Jian Xin nodded, and Gao Yunda said: "After that, I went around the Jinghu area for a long time, but suddenly found a few Dongying people wandering around the Tanzhou area, as if they were looking for something, so I kept following them quietly." Later, I saw the opportunity and quietly captured two of my entourage, and after my torture, I learned that they were actually members of the Five-Color Sect! The Dongying people who were the leader turned out to be the left envoy of the Five-Color Sect! Their purpose of coming here was the same as mine, they were all looking for the 'Mountains and Rivers Society Map'! However, they did not have any clues, and after this group of Dongying people found out that the two companions were missing, they were also much more vigilant, and after a few days of fruitless visits, they immediately withdrew, and I followed them quietly all the way to the east. Later, I found out that they had met a group of killers of the Five-Color Sect in Longxing Mansion, and I secretly heard that the person leading the killers of the Five-Color Sect turned out to be the right envoy of the Five-Color Sect! I think that the left and right envoys of the Five-Color Sect came out together, if this is going to be something, it is a very remarkable thing! I thought that it would be no problem to beat either of the two of them one-on-one, but if the two of them were together, plus a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, this would not be easy to deal with.
