in charge

The water is not still at night, keep trying to move forward.The sound of rushing, gentle and rhythmic.Listen in your ears and be quiet in your heart.

Under the moonless night sky, this is a remote water area with wilderness on both sides.

Four days later it will be New Year's Eve, and no matter how close the boatman is, he will not celebrate the New Year on such a wild river.

However, there are boats on the river.

Lanterns are hung on the bow and stern of the boat.From a distance, it is not much brighter than the tail of a firefly.If you look closely, you can see that the head and tail lights are quite far apart, and it's clearly a large cargo ship.

On such a big ship, there is no sound or shadow of people.The black sails are the same color as the night.How can you say it's not weird?

But the weirder thing is behind, the back of the ship.About a mile or two away from it, there is a small cluster of trees, moving with the current along the side.The faster the cargo ship, the faster the tree floats.If the cargo ship is slow, the tree will be slow.

The cargo ship was already very careful in its whereabouts. It never occurred to me that the tree was just a disguise. In fact, there were several pairs of eyes behind the branches, staring at it.

The real body under the shadow of the tree is called Yongfu.From the mast to the hull, it has been camouflaged. In such a night, there are no telescopes, no night vision heat source search equipment and other equipment. The hiding is almost perfect, and even the shadow does not exist.

The wind blew cold ink on her purple cheeks, she had been standing in the barrel for half an hour.When I saw the lantern of the cargo ship in front of me turn around and was hidden in a large reed, I remembered the position, quickly turned out of the barrel, climbed down nimbly, and landed on both feet without making a sound.Because she didn't wear shoes.

"Brother Mo, is there any movement? ,, the voice of the stinky fish is very low.

"Turned into the reeds, it's probably there. Go half a mile forward, lower the sails, use belly paddles instead, let's follow in." After Mo Zi finished speaking, she put on her shoes, lifted the boat plank by her feet, and jumped off .

Mo to the door, open, a piece of light.Lights were lit in the hold of the ship's bilge, so naturally the leak could not be revealed.

Hua Yi, with several Qianniu guards, was recuperating at the side, when he heard the movement, he immediately shot his eyes, seeing that it was Mo Zi, he turned his head away.

On the other side, Zanjin Dingou, one holding a sword and the other sleeping.

Yuan Cheng warmed his hands to the fire.The flames jumped, coating his gentle facial features with a layer of gorgeousness, and his eyes were golden.The hem of the black robe seemed to be embroidered with flame patterns, crawling under his feet, making him even more noble.But his movements were very peaceful, he poured a cup of hot tea and passed it to Mo Zi.

"Yuan Cheng, Hongtu's boat has entered the reeds, and I have asked Smelly Fish and the others to follow in. But, what should we do next?" Mo Zi cupped his hands and let out a sigh of relief.

Yuan Cheng looked at the map on the table, "Is this near Ge Village?" Ge Village is a hundred miles away from Shangdu, and Hongtu is another forty miles up.

Mo Zi nodded, it should be "forty miles, nearly four hours, slower than a tortoise."

Why did the Yongfu follow Hongtu's ship secretly?

A few months ago, when Mo Zi went to Hongtu to fetch wood, he found some hollow wood inside, so he told Yuan Cheng about it.From then on, Yuan Cheng sent people to watch Hongtu.Recently, Zeng Hai, who had a hard time getting to the shipyard, actually lived there for a few days, and the security was more stringent than before. Yuan Cheng guessed that they had something to do, so he borrowed the Yongfu from Mo Zi.Sure enough, in the afternoon of this day, Zeng Hai personally boarded the new cargo ship and set off for the upper reaches of the Yajiang River.After nightfall, quietly turn into the Ge River.

As for Yuan Cheng's refusal to ask the imperial court to transfer the official ship, it was because he was afraid of scaring others, and this matter was not within his jurisdiction.

Grabbing merit is naturally greedy for rewards.

What reward?

Not ready yet.Don't know yet.Take a step and look again.

In short, calling Yongfu for help is definitely more reassuring and confident than calling an official ship.Even the general's main ship can have holes, and those arrogant warships really look like paper tigers.

"The hollow wood is filled with things, so of course it moves slowly." Yuan Cheng waited for Mo Zi to warm up, and pointed to the map to show her, "Ge Village is ten miles around and populated, they chose to dock here, and they must meet people.

Tell your people to be careful, don't get caught. "

"Not only loaded things, but also loaded heavy things." I have already guessed what it is, and I have to see it with my own eyes. "Don't worry, Yongfu has been refitted. Where Hongtu cargo ships can enter, Yongfu can definitely go The sound. Under the nose, the other party may not be able to find it." The last sentence is an exaggeration.

There was a knock on the door.

The stinky fish poked its head in. "Brother Mo, it's in the hole. The boat seems to have docked."

Mo Zi excitedly said, and was about to go up to see it.

Seeing that she didn't look scared at all, Yuan Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Mo is really cool on the water, he is not afraid of anything."

Mo Zi turned around and pulled him together, "Water can flow, so I won't encounter a dead end, how can I not be unrestrained? Zeng Hai always dislikes me, which makes me dislike him too. Maybe he is caught at the moment , I almost applauded."

One by one, they climbed onto the deck of the ship and crouched in the dark.

Yuan Cheng listened quietly, the Yongfu was moving by the sound of the wind and water, on the boat, he couldn't hear the oars paddling out the water, but the creaking and creaking of the docked boat not far away was very noisy.

"Paars, can the boat move?" He just heard her say it was against the current.

"There are underwater oars, and Fat Shrimp is leading people to shake them. Lao Guan and Water Snake are at the helm." Mo Zi explained briefly, then turned to call Zan Jin and Smelly Fish softly.She doesn't command a dingo unless he wants to.

"Can you two hear what they're saying?"

The two listened for a while, shaking their heads at the same time, "It's too far away."

Yuan Cheng looked at Huayi.

Yi shook his head.

"Smelly fish, tell Lao Guan and the others to drive closer." Just as Mo Zi finished saying this, a torch was lit on Hongtu's side, and he couldn't get any closer now.

"What should I do?" Shadow is invisible, she is very confident, but not arrogant.

Yuan Cheng's judgment was quick, "Mo Zi, let the Yongfu ship land without them noticing, okay?" Mo Zi immediately understood that he was going ashore.No matter how close the boat is, the shore is overgrown with weeds, making it easy to hide people.Although she and Yuan Cheng had known each other for a long time, it was the first time they acted together like this.I thought his cleverness was a trick, but I didn't expect that the practical application is not weak.

Yongfu docked quietly.

"You stay on the boat." The two voices spoke exactly the same words.

"Without me as an official, even if you catch a thief, the thief will not recognize you. As long as you do dangerous things, you may be injured. It's better to stay on the boat." Yuan Cheng said.

"Without me as a shipbuilder, if you caught a thief, the thief would cry for injustice.

I see that you always avoid fights if you can. There is a [-]% chance that the umbrella will start late, so you should stay. "Mo Zi said.

Seeing the two dismantling each other, Hua Yi, who had the highest status, said, "Let's go ashore together." In the end, only Lao Guan and a few boatmen were left behind.Everyone walked without grass, lying down at the nearest place to the Hongtu cargo ship.

The cargo ship got off the sampan, and a few people came down earlier, the leaders were Zeng Hai and Wang Dazhang.For Mo Zi and Yuan Cheng, this distance can't hear anything clearly.But Hua Yi Zanjin and their kung fu are good, it seems that it sounds okay.

"Zeng Hai was in a hurry. They probably agreed, but the man didn't show up, and he was cursing." Zan Jin was on Mo Zi's left.

Ding Gou laughed coldly, and on her right, "Another person said that the Chuan Gangzi is trustworthy in their work, and they should come soon. Who said that the Chuan Gang must be trustworthy?" The last question was his own opinion.

Boat gang?Didn't you come to see Daqiuren?Mo Zi was slightly taken aback, this was different from what she had imagined.

"Listen, are you a gangster who sells goods?" She asked left and right.

Zan Jin waited for a long time before saying, "They won't talk anymore."

Zeng Hai and the others are waiting, and Mo Zi and the others are also waiting.

After about half an hour, Zeng Hai seemed to be getting impatient, he said something to Mr. Wang, then turned around and walked to the sampan.

Mo Zi went to look at Yuan Cheng immediately, and saw that he was whispering to Ding Gou, and then Ding Gou raised his eyebrows and shrugged.

At this time, Zan Jin acted as the mouthpiece, "Zeng Hai said, don't wait, the stinky gang cheated him of the deposit, and he wants to get it back."

As soon as Mo Zi finished listening, Yuan Cheng Huayi and the others bent over from the grass and walked out.

"Boss Zeng." Hua Yi also took the initiative to greet people.

Mo Zi was stunned for a moment, not understanding Yuan Cheng's plan.The other party hasn't come yet, isn't this a warning?And it is not certain that the hollow wood must be iron or weapons.A villain like Zeng Hai, who is greedy for cheap, might just be a scumbag.He hasn't left the country yet, so he can't be charged with a single crime.

She subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Dinggou held her down, and he squinted at him, which meant that whoever moved was an idiot.

Although Ding Gou is arrogant and advocating Taoism, he often ridicules her, but in this situation, she believes that she will not be indiscriminate.So he hinted to her not to move, and she didn't.

Soon, she figured it out herself, both Zeng Hai and Wang Da took her as a thorn in their side, how could she face her face above board?

She didn't move, Zan Jin Smelly Fish and the others didn't move.

Of course, not moving does not mean not knowing.Because, the fire is near, and the people are also near, and Wang Da can be heard asking Hua Yi a code word.

Mo Zi thinks this lurk is suspicious, it can't be the king of heaven Gai Dihu, the pagoda suppressing the river demon?

"Sunrise Huashan, the cat leads all directions." Hua Yi replied without any delay.

Mo Zi knew these eight characters.Chen Er and the chief rudder used this when dealing with code words.

Hua Yi blinded casually?Why take these eight characters?Zeng Hai only mentioned Chuanbangzi, but did not mention Chen Er.What on earth is he thinking?Or, what Yuan Cheng thought.

She believed that the taciturn Hua Yi just opened his mouth, and his brain was Yuan Cheng behind him.

After a while, Wang Dazhang complained, "Why is it so late?" Unexpectedly, the answer was correct!

"I'm sorry, there is some urgent business in the gang, and the second master can't leave, so I arranged for Xiao Ke to come here temporarily, and it will be too late in a hurry." Hua Yi seemed to be holding hands.

Huayi was dressed in a black outfit, and Qianniuwei behind him was even more black and strong. He returned the door and pretended to be a gangster, so that when the other party got impatient, he could get by.

"Why do your men show up?" Zeng Hai's voice approached, accompanied by the firelight.

"Boss Zeng entrusted our second master's affairs, we can't see the light, it's better to be just in case." An ambiguous statement, but Hua Yi has no face, in order to fix the other party's heart.Then as soon as he moved forward, Yuan Cheng, who was following behind him, also moved forward.

The light of the fire began to fade away again, and the sound of footsteps went towards the ship.

At this moment, Ding Gou tugged at Mo Zi and said, "Follow me." Yuan Cheng was under the shadow of Hua Yi, and Mo Zi's people were under the shadow of Yuan Cheng's people. This was called a bold opportunistic trick.

Zeng Hai and Wang Dazhang, who walked in the front, didn't know it, the net to catch them was opened, and the spider sting was hiding behind, waiting for a feast. ! .
