Half a day ago, Wu Ji borrowed money and finally scraped together 100,000 taels of silver.

This is also in Hushu Pass, changed elsewhere, don't think that in such a short time, you can get together so much silver.

Time was pressing, Zhao Hao left Secretary Ma and the two in Hushu Pass, so he and the Mi steward escorted three silver boats along the Hudong Canal into Xijing Bay of Taihu Lake.

A short distance along, a clipper boat came up to meet me.

The men escorted on the silver ship all nervously grasped their blades.

"It's a helper." Zhao Hao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to relax.

When the clipper came, Jin Ke took a few big black men with a raw face and boarded the silver boat.

At this time, Gao Wu held back a sentence. "It's all old folks......"

Zhao Hao nodded, in front of the rice manager, it was not the time to get close. He asked Jin Ke in a deep voice, "When did you arrive?" ”

"I set off after receiving the order of my son, and I went around in a big circle, and I arrived at Xijing Bay this morning." Jin Ke also replied in a deep voice:

"The little ones are resting in the north of the bay, and the subordinates are here to greet the son."

"How many people came?" Zhao Hao asked softly.

"Thirty old brothers of the Qi family's army, eighty Caijiaxiang guards, four hundred gunners and gunners of the battalion, and one hundred soldiers and men who operate the boat." Jinke reports:

"There are a total of ten boats, all of which are under the flag of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce, and no one dares to check along the way."

"Good, good!" Zhao Gongzi was in great spirits, this is his confidence to shake his majesty. "Let the brethren follow far behind, and don't get too close!"

"Understood." As soon as Jinke waved his hand, several of his men who remained on the clipper adjusted their sails and rowed quickly to give the order.

It was raining, the lake was misty, and the boat had disappeared before it had even gone a hundred feet.

"Let's go, let's follow the rice steward to deliver the silver." Zhao Hao greeted Jin Ke with a smile and went into the cabin.

Inside the cabin, boxes and boxes of silver were piled up. Zhao Hao casually found a box and sat down, and unfolded the water map that came from the Hua family.

He pointed to a small dot marked 'Xiaozhu Island' on the top and introduced to Jinke: "This is the place where the money is paid. The bandits dug a big hole on the island, and told us to bury the silver and leave. ”

Jin Ke nodded and asked, "What are Childe's plans?" ”

"It used to be, but now it's gone." Zhao Hao spread his hands and said, "Brother Jin is here, of course it's all up to you." ”

It is always taboo for a layman to lead an insider, and it is wise to let professional people do professional things.

Otherwise, what are you spending a lot of money on them?

"Yes." Jin Ke also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, who is not afraid of a blind leader?

"But I also ask Childe to give a clear combat goal."

"It's very simple, first of all, to ensure the safety of the hostages, and at the same time, to kill all the bandits."

Jinke nodded, and asked in a deep voice: "Can the subordinates understand it like this - if the bandits get the ransom and release them, we will wait until we confirm the safety of the hostages before killing them." If the bandits dare to play tricks after taking the money, they will be killed directly! ”

Steward Mi couldn't help but remind: "If you attack, what about the safety of my young lady?" ”

"Don't worry." Jin Ke glanced at him and said, "As long as we are fast enough, they won't have time to hurt your young lady." ”

"Uh......" Steward Mi's lips twitched a few times, wanting to ask him where he got such strong confidence?

"Don't worry, Uncle Mi, Brother Jin said okay, then it will definitely be fine!" Zhao Hao smiled and patted Steward Mi's shoulder, telling him to calm down for a while.

~~

Jinke didn't make a plan right away, but studied it silently on the map.

Zhao Hao didn't bother him, lying on the two silver boxes and didn't know what he was thinking.

After about an hour, Jinke suddenly raised his head. "It's almost there."

Sure enough, it was the tea kung fu, and the rice steward came in and reported: "Childe, Xiaozhudao has arrived." ”

Zhao Hao gave Jin Ke a thumbs up, worthy of being the first in the water battle in the Qi family's army.

The two of them followed the steward to the bow of the boat, and saw a small island three or five feet square on the water in front of them.

It was bare, and there was not a single tree.

"I really know how to choose a place...... the corners of Zhao Hao's mouth twitched twice.

His original plan was to send people to ambush them on the island, wait for the bandits to come and collect the money, and then force them to lead the way, and go straight to the bandits' lair to save people......

It's a shame not to say it.

Jinke looked around and saw that the water was vast, and there was no boat or a place to hide.

"Let's do it first."

"Hey." Steward nodded, ordered the boat to be as close to the island as possible, and then used three small boats to transport it up one by one.

The hundred thousand taels of silver were packed in thirty boxes, and they could not be shipped for a while. Zhao Hao and Jin Ke also went to the island, and sure enough, they saw a pit more than two feet deep and four or five feet in diameter.

Such a small pit can't fit half of the silver.

"It's a lot of carelessness to dig." Zhao Gongzi laughed teasingly, "Do you think that this son can't take out so much silver?" ”

Jin Ke glanced at him silently, and said in his heart that ordinary people really can't imagine it......

"It seems that the bandits are very cautious."

"It's a pity that they don't know anything about the power of science." Zhao Gongzi chuckled.

"That's what Childe said." Jin Ke nodded indifferently, everything was under control.

In about half an hour, all 30 silver boxes were buried as required. For this, the guys also took shovels and dug the pit deeper and twice as big.

Then they returned to the great ship and pulled the anchor and went away.

~~

When the ripples of the boat cleared, the lively island returned to calm.

Half an hour later, a small boat with a rudder like a wooden gun sailed into the waters of Xiaozhudao.

But instead of heading to the island at once, the boat made a great circle around the island a mile away.

After making sure that no ships were watching nearby, the gun boat sailed to the island.

The two water bandits with their necks stretched out immediately found that the pit they had dug had been filled.

There were also a lot of messy footprints on the side.

"Oh my God!" The bandits' hearts were beating out of their chests, and they were busy going to the island to check.

When they skimmed off the floating earth and pried open the locked silver chest, everyone was stunned by the silver light of the white flowers.

Another box was pried open, and it was still white!

The bandits suddenly burst out in unison with a wolf's howl, and then rushed to the top of their arms, desperately stuffing silver into their bosoms.

As everyone knows, their every move fell in the eyes of Zhao Hao and Jin Ke, who were two miles away.

The two were lying on a sampan, each holding a pair of binoculars.

It was raining and the mist was confused, and the naked eye could only distinguish objects that were far away, but with a telescope, they could see two miles.

So the water bandits went around and couldn't find them at all.

"They're not going to take the money and run, are they?" Zhao Gongzi was a little unsure.

"Don't worry, Childe, whoever is sent out to do this, the family members are all hostages in the hands of the bandits." Jin Ke shook his head and chuckled, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that with this telescope, everyone has become clairvoyant.

Isn't that pure bullying?

Sure enough, as Jinke said, after each of the bandits took a piece of silver, they re-covered the silver box and buried it in the soil, and got on the boat to go back to report it.

"Keep up." Jinke pointed out the direction to Cao Zhou's men.

The two sturdy men rowed desperately and stayed far behind each other's boats.

In fact, the two men couldn't see the guns of the bandits, but as long as Jinke could see it, it was enough.

Zhao Hao and Jin Ke have a clear division of labor, one is responsible for tracking, and the other is responsible for guarding the surrounding enemy situation. In this way, the god hung far behind without realizing it.

When Jin Ke saw that the gun boat began to circle again, he said to Zhao Hao: "I have found the bandit's nest." ”
