Chapter 1177: Black Eats Black (II)
Lu Jinyi understood the problem, but pretended to be stupid and pretended not to know, and complained with sleepy eyes, "Don't make a lot of noise with your people, it's a little seasick at night......"
The shipowner smiled on his face, "Okay, white shopkeeper, I'll let them shut up." ”
After sending Lu Jinyi back to the cabin, the shipowner's face immediately changed, and he explained to his men, "Everyone be quiet, but faster!" ”
……
On the bow of the Fu ship, General Su Wei's face was serious, he pointed to a large sail that flickered in the distance and shouted, "What's the matter with the ship ahead?" Why is it getting farther and farther away, and it's almost out of sight?! ”
A man dressed as a sailor general was submissive, "General, this ...... They may have figured out we're chasing them! ”
"What?"
General Su Wei raised his foot and kicked the general of the sailor division to the ground, "Then why don't you hurry up and order someone to chase after you?!" ”
General Su Wei's face was furious, but his heart was flustered.
When he returned to the crossroads a few days ago, he also met the lieutenant general who had also returned from the north, and as soon as the two of them met, they knew that neither of them had found any trace of Yang Huairen's departure in their respective directions.
The deputy general complained that a heavy rain washed away the horseshoe prints, but the general was worried that he had received the emperor's order to chase Yang Huairen this time, and if he didn't even find any trace of Yang Huairen, he wouldn't be able to explain to His Majesty when he went back.
He didn't understand, obviously someone saw Yang Huairen and the princess out of Zhongjing City from the east gate, but where did they go? Could it be that Yang Huairen has the ability to fly away?
The general who had previously raised the possibility of Yang Huairen going east stood up again, "General, we chased them all the way out of the east gate, and we didn't meet them on the way, and then the soldiers divided into two roads, and chased them in the north and south directions for a long time, and there was no trace of them, does that mean ......?"
As he spoke, the general pointed to the east proudly, as if he had already had foresight, but no one was willing to trust his judgment at that time, so he missed the best opportunity to catch up with Yang Huairen.
General Su Wei hated his subordinates to give him an afterthought, but after thinking about it, he felt that what this kid said also made some sense, since there was no trace of Yang Huairen in the north and south directions, then the only choice left was for Yang Huairen and the princess to go east.
The road to the east leads directly to Liaodong, subjectively, they can't go back to the Song Dynasty if they go like this, but General Su Wei suddenly had a lightning bolt in his head, and he immediately understood Yang Huairen's thoughts, he was going to take the waterway back to the Song Dynasty!
Then he immediately led his men and horses, marched eastward, starting from the first port he encountered on the road, no matter how big or small, he sent people to investigate, all the way to Yongle Port, only to find out that there was a group of merchants from the Song Dynasty near Yongle Port during the day today, but they disappeared at night.
General Su Wei immediately judged that they were a step late, and Yang Huairen had already found a ship to go to sea.
He immediately led people to the camp of the Jinzhou Navy Division, and when the generals in charge of the camp saw that these people were the emperor's personal guards, they immediately obeyed the command and drove out the Dafu boat that had not been used in the camp for many years.
As soon as the general heard the situation, he guessed that the horse must have found a boat from the sea dragon to go to sea, and it was now the fishing season, and it was difficult for them to rent other boats.
And he was very familiar with the channel from Yongle Port to the Song Dynasty, so he drove the fortune boat all the way to catch up, and finally saw an ice ship in front of him just now.
The general of the navy division didn't need to think about it to know that if the horse escaped back to the Great Song Dynasty, it must be on this ship, and it was unreasonable for an ice carrier to appear on the sea.
I thought that I could ask for credit from General Suwei, but I didn't expect the people on the ice carrier to be so bold, and after discovering the lucky boat chasing behind, they dared to prop up the sail and speed up to escape.
The general of the water division was still thinking about how to invite merit, but in a blink of an eye, he began to think about how not to be condemned, he didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, and immediately jumped up and ordered people to chase after him with a full sail.
It's a pity that the Fu ship is used for naval warfare, the hull is very strong, but it's a pity that it's a little bulky, and he is not afraid of hitting the ship, but to compete with the speed of a cargo ship like an ice carrier, the Fu ship is really not an opponent.
No matter how much he scolded his men for speeding up the pursuit, he was not as fast as the ice-carrier, and the head of the ice-carrier seemed to be very clever, deliberately playing hide-and-seek with them on the dark sea, turning his head to the east and the west again.
The sailor's fortune ship was bulky, and it had not been sailed to the sea for a long time, and the sailor's soldiers were usually slow on training, and the operation was also very rusty, and after a while, they gradually disappeared from the ice-carrying ship in front.
In the vast sea, no matter how cloudy or sunny the sky is, there is some mist rising on the sea, and in the dark night, the visual distance is limited, as long as they lose the ice ship in front of them, it is almost impossible to find and catch up.
General Su Wei quickly understood this truth, and his teeth rattled, and he drew a sharp blade directly from his waist and hacked the general of the Waste Marine Division to death on the deck with one sword......
The head of the ice-carrier climbed the mast again, and when it came down again, it smiled.
"The owner, the Fu ship behind has been thrown off, as long as we maintain the speed now, they will no longer be able to catch up with us."
"Good, good."
The shipowner smiled appreciatively, "That's fine, and the brothers can follow Lao Tzu to do this business with peace of mind in the future." When Lao Tzu has made this big deal, build a few more clippers, and recruit some more men......"
He pointed to the handlebar, "In the future, I will be the top spot, and the first one will be you." ”
The bow of the boat was overjoyed, and he smiled with a wrinkled face, "Thank you for the big boss." ”
The shipowner glanced back at the cabin and said to himself, "Lao Tzu has long felt that there is something wrong with these people surnamed Bai, and even the Jinzhou sailors who have never been at sea have been brought out, it seems that the things they carry must not be simple." ”
The captain of the ship also thought so, and nodded like a sycophant, "Big boss, then what should we do?" Do you want to do it right away? ”
The shipowner thoughtfully raised his hand to stop the handle, "Don't worry, since these people are not simple, we should be more cautious, did you find those people around the surnamed Bai?"
Looking at their appearance, it is definitely not as simple as ordinary businessmen, but it seems to be a trick to walk the rivers and lakes. So let's do it, and we're not in a hurry at this time. ”
He squinted and pondered for a moment before he spoke, "You better quietly take a few people to carefully inspect the big boxes containing medicinal herbs first, and come as we agreed in advance."
Tomorrow morning, hum, first shake the boat, shake these landlubbers indistinctly, and then invite them to breakfast, understand? ”
