Chapter 410: On an Island in a Lake (1)

Because the weather was gloomy and the lake was foggy and hazy, although Brother Shi saw the figures on the fence and what they were wearing, he couldn't see their expressions. But...... I guess I'm surprised! After all, Qiao Fenglu's hand will indeed make ordinary people feel magical.

If it were usual, Brother Shi would probably come forward and ask like this-Brother Qiao, how did you practice this "finger snapping magic skill"? But for now...... After asking questions many times and hitting a wall, Brother Shi has decided to be a quiet beautiful man! Even Fang Cai's applause was secretly shouted in his heart......

Sitting on the boat, he saw from afar that someone on the fence had bent down and taken the token from the stake...... Then, after a while, I saw a gate open in front of me.

Seeing this, Qiao Feng turned around and nodded at the boatman. The boatman poked his pole into the water again, and the boat pushed away the blue water again, and went forward......

And as the boat slowly drove towards the fence, Brother Shi became more and more confused in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the previous question: This matter of Dong Qingyun's mobilization of 5,000 soldiers and horses should not be a secret to the officials of the court. So why do it so hidden?

Dong Qingyun may be trying to hide people's eyes and ears and win by surprise. But in Brother Shi's opinion, this is obviously impossible! Because of a character like Luo Haotian, even if he didn't investigate the specific location of the five thousand soldiers and horses, he would definitely be careful to take precautions.

So...... The question is, what does Dong Qingyun want to hide? Could it be that there is any secret to this so-called "Dingnan Army"?

Also, after hearing the shouts of the people on the fence, Brother Shi now finally understands why Dong Feng, the son of a governor, always comes together with merchants like Guo Renjie. If this island is really the property of the Guo family, then the relationship between Dong Qingyun and the Guo family must be worth studying...... Speaking of which, after getting along with Guo Renjie for so long, I really haven't asked him much about it.

And just when Brother Shi was thinking about these things in his heart, the boat had gradually rowed behind the fence. Behind the fence, there was another waterway fenced off by a palisade, and after a short time drifting along it, it reached the shore.

As soon as the boatman held the boat steady, Qiao Feng jumped onto the shore first, and Brother Shi followed, as for the boatman, he stayed on the boat. On the shore, there were several men in cloth clothes waiting, and they should be the ones standing on the top of the fence.

"You wait here first, and I'll report it!" As soon as the two of them came ashore, among the group of people, a man dressed in cloth clothes like ordinary fishermen, stepped forward and said a word to the two, and after finishing speaking, he gave a few more glances to the people next to him, and then turned to leave. And the rest of the people stared at Shi Yuan and the others one after another.

Qiao Feng believed that his martial arts were strong, and he didn't care. And Brother Shi is also notoriously bold, with Dong Qingyun, a post given by the minister of Yipin, he is also unaware of this, and since he came ashore, he has looked left and right on this small island.

How to say that...... The island was not very large, and although he could not see the head at a glance, he could not even see the shadow of a soldier! After looking around, Brother Shi couldn't help but become upset in his heart: Dong Qingyun, an old fox, what kind of reputation is he doing?

Qiao Feng on the side saw his expression, so he opened his mouth to persuade him: "Shi Gongzi, don't be anxious, this general of the Dingnan Army should come over soon." ”

Hearing Qiao Feng's words, Brother Shi calmed down a little, and then, he suddenly rolled his eyes, and did not answer Qiao Feng's words, but looked at a man in front of him who was looking at him vigilantly and smiled slightly: "This big brother, you should be the craftsman of the Guo family, right?" Can you tell me what this island is for? I won't hide it from you, your son-in-law and I are good brothers who have burned yellow paper together and been to the Qinglou......"

The man who was suddenly asked by Shi Yuan, listening to Shi Yuan's words, couldn't help but be stunned. Then he shook his head coldly at Shi Yuan, but he didn't answer.

Seeing that the other party only shook his head and didn't speak, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "I said big brother, why don't you play dumb riddles?" These days, I'm most annoyed by people asking me to guess! What the hell do you mean by that? Believe it or not, I asked Guo Renjie to fire you for squid ......"

Brother Shi seemed to have suddenly lost his mind, and he threatened the man with his entangled mouth. But the man looked at him like a fool, and remained silent. As the so-called provocation is not terrible, it is embarrassing to ignore it...... Brother Shi couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw the other party looking at him like a monkey: "You...... You don't believe it, do you? I ......"

Seeing Shi Yuan messing around here, Qiao Feng on the side couldn't stand it. He snorted lightly twice, and interrupted Shi Yuan: "Shi Gongzi don't want to ask again...... These people are all soldiers of this 'Dingnan Army'! ”

Seeing that Qiao Feng took the initiative to speak, Brother Shi didn't say anything more. Of course, he understood that these people could not be the craftsmen of the Guo family, and to build a kiln on this small island, if they either lost their minds, they had too much money! Although there is a river passing through this Mingyang Lake, the water is shallow and cannot be used for shipping at all, so it is extremely inconvenient to transport.

And the purpose of asking the man was to let Qiao Feng take the initiative to speak. Because this has come all the way. Qiao Feng was always secretive about the questions he asked, and he still didn't say anything when he saw that it was all in place...... It's really very difficult to be a quiet beautiful man......

Now that he heard Qiao Feng take the initiative to speak, he hurriedly stopped his "threat", turned his head, and smiled at Qiao Feng: "So that's the ......" Brother Shi nodded his head and muttered to himself, and then he rolled his eyes again: "It's just, isn't Brother Qiao going to tell me anything else?" ”

When Qiao Feng heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "I didn't expect Shi Gongzi to still worry about things on the road...... Fang Cai was on the official road outside the city, and there were many people, so it was really inconvenient to tell each other...... If Shi Gongzi just wanted to ask about the 'Dingnan Army', I could have said it, but about other ......"

When Qiao Feng said this, his tone paused, he bypassed Shi Yuan, and glanced at the boatman who was sitting on the boat in the distance, and then he came back to his senses and said to Shi Yuan: "Please forgive me for not being able to tell you!" ”

Shi Yuan heard this, and also glanced at the boatman not far away, then turned his head again, nodded at Qiao Feng, and asked, "Brother Qiao, tell me what's going on on this island first!" ”
