Chapter 489

Qiao Ye squinted his eyes and didn't know what to think, and followed the short man onto the boat.

The ship was a cargo ship, not a small ship.

There are two boatmen in the bow, wearing hoods and hats on their heads.

It is normal for a cargo ship to have two boatmen, and sometimes there are three or even four. Running the boat is a hard job, and the rowing has to be alternated, so one boatman is not enough.

However, this appearance made Qiao Ye feel a little strange.

Without waiting for Qiao Ye to take a second look, the short man smiled and said, "The moon is bright and the stars are rare, so it might rain in the middle of the night."

Qiao Ye said, "Do you still know how to watch the sky at night?"

The short man smiled and said, "The boat racer, is it also a matter of God's rewarding and eating? How do you go boating when the weather is bad? So, I know a little bit, a little bit."

Qiao Ye said: "You're a waste of time for running a boat. I think you should go to the Sitianjian."

Si Tianjian, that is the department that selects auspicious days for the emperor and is in charge of the astronomical calendar.

"You can't talk nonsense, I can't compare with those adults." The short man said with a smile: "Go, get into the cabin!"

Qiao Ye followed the short man into the cabin. The short man had a lot of guests. Counting seven or eight Qiao Ye, Qiao Ye also saw acquaintances.

The middle-aged man who had met at the gate of the city saw Qiao Ye come in, and immediately smiled and said, "Little brother, are you here too?"

Qiao Ye nodded and said, "I'm on my way. Going to the north, what's the point of being trapped in the city like this? It's a waste of time."

When Qiao Ye said this, other people also opened their chat boxes and complained that they didn't know what the **** the city lord of Huacheng was doing. The people sitting in this cabin were basically business people. Delaying a day was a day's worth of money. The closure of the city is not very happy.

The middle-aged man said to Qiao Ye, "What are you doing in the north, little brother? I don't think you look like a businessman."

Qiao Ye said with a smile: "I heard that something happened to the North, but I think it's an opportunity. Maybe I can become famous."

"Yes, I heard that the Northland is not peaceful now." The middle-aged man said with a smile: "It seems that the little brother is very confident in his skills."

Qiao Ye said politely: "General, make do!"

Several people in the cabin were talking, and the ship slowly began to move forward.

From the waterway of the wharf to the north, you can leave the Hwaseong City by exiting the doorway dedicated to the waterway.

Of course it won't be unguarded, but the short man smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone is ready."

The waterway is not like the city gate. As soon as the gate is closed, people are sealed inside the city gate. Instead, there are sentries guarding it. If you really want to pass, you can force it.

However, this matter is thankless and very troublesome. There is also a boat here in the magic hall, so, as the short man said, the soldiers in charge of guarding have already made arrangements, and after receiving the money, they will pretend not to see it.

No matter who the Motang and the City Lord's Mansion are searching for, most of the time has passed, and many people are beginning to relax.

About half an hour later, after passing the post and exiting the waterway in the city, everyone in the cabin breathed a sigh of relief. It is already outside the city, and if you continue to move forward, you will be able to enter the Nanjiang River, and then no one will care.

But at this time...

Suddenly there was a flash of fire on the river, and the short man was nervous, and hurriedly entered the cabin and said, "Everyone, don't make a sound."

The plump middle-aged man beside Qiao Ye said, "What's the matter?"

The short man said: "There is a boat, it may be the navy barracks of the Pioneer Army, don't say anything, I will deal with it."

The short man got on the deck, and the big ship in front was approaching. It was indeed a military ship. As the short man had expected, it was the vanguard's water barracks ship.

"Stop the boat!"

As the ship approached, someone stood on the deck and shouted at the ship. Immediately afterwards, five or six soldiers jumped over, and behind them stood two masters of the magic hall, standing with their hands behind their backs, and their cultivation was not low.

The short man greeted him with a smile and said, "Several military lords, you've been busy at night."

While smiling, the short man touched some money and shoved it into someone's hand secretly, but the soldier at the head was not at all rude, he raised his hand and knocked the money out on the deck.

The soldier said: "The city is closed, no entry, no exit, don't you know?"

The short man smiled and said, "We didn't come out of the city, we wanted to enter the city, but we were not allowed to go in and out, so we had to exit."

The soldier sneered, "Is there anyone in the cabin?"

The short man said: "There are some guests who want to enter the city, but they didn't go in and were stopped."

The soldier snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm stupid? Brother, enter the cabin!"

The group of soldiers immediately stepped forward fiercely, pushed the short man aside, kicked the cabin and filed into it.

The people in the cabin were suddenly shocked, and they shrank their bodies in obedience and did not dare to speak.

The short man caught up and said, "Sir, we really didn't come out of the city, we all wanted to enter the city, but we didn't."

When everyone in the cabin heard it, they immediately understood the reasoning, and hurriedly begged for mercy together.

"Master Bing, he is telling the truth. We didn't enter the city, we didn't come out of the city."

"Yeah, the little one came from Fancheng. If you don't believe in the soldier, please see, this is Lu Yin."

"Master Soldier, take it easy."

"Shut up!" The leading soldier stretched out his hand and pushed one person to the ground, shouting in a low voice, "I don't care whether you leave the city or enter the city, bring them all back to me!"

Qiao Ye leaned against the wall of the cabin, suddenly opened his eyes, and said to the chubby middle-aged man beside him, "Isn't it necessary? These are not the people you are looking for."

The middle-aged man glanced at Qiao Ye and said with a smile, "Are you talking to me?"

Qiao Ye said: "Is it from the magic hall?"

The middle-aged man said, "I'm a businessman."

Qiao Ye said: "You performed at the gate of the city, not just to spread the news of the closure of the city, and let everyone know that the magic hall and the city lord's mansion are playing a real game, if you can't catch people, the city said It is not allowed for three or five days, and it may even continue forever.”

The fat middle-aged man said, "What else do you see?"

Qiao Ye said: "Where can you wait for those who are in a hurry to leave the city? After the first day of the new year, if you can't avoid the fifteenth, you must find a way to leave. The only way seems to be the waterway. You let it out on purpose, just to stop the boat and keep people, just in case, you pretended to be a businessman who was going to leave the city, and got in directly."

"Young and gentle, I didn't expect Men Qinger." The middle-aged man stopped pretending, and stood up with his hands behind his back with a smile: "I looked around, and there is indeed no one I'm looking for, but I can't find the one I'm looking for. People have something to do with each other, so, let’s talk about it, you still have to go back with me and go to the Demon Hall prison before talking about it.”
