Chapter 94: Gourd
The weather in July is changing, the afternoon sky is originally clear and the sun is like fire, but in the blink of an eye, the scene is overcast, the mountain rain is coming, and the river is turbid.
Zhao Zhuo said to Liu Yin: "It's changed, big brother should go back to the room to rest first, this kind of ghost weather, it is estimated that there will be no boat sailing." ”
Liu Yin has no intention of turning back, the worse the weather, the more it will give the Wei State a chance to take advantage of, and any bit of carelessness will cause irreparable consequences.
Liu Yin jumped onto a patrol ship and ordered the soldiers on board to sail.
At this time, the wind and waves on the river were very strong, and Zhao Zhuo hurriedly persuaded: "Big brother, the wind and waves on the river are urgent, and it is not suitable to sail!" ”
"Does the Blue Bird think it's not time to sail today?" Liu Yin said indifferently.
Zhao Zhuo was speechless, since Liu Yin insisted on inspecting the river, he and Zhang Le were naturally not to be left behind, and followed him on the boat.
When on the shore, you can clearly feel the shaking of the patrol boat, at this moment the patrol ship sailed into the center of the river, in the stormy seas, the patrol boat up and down, almost in danger of capsizing.
Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo's face turned pale, and he held the mast of the ship tightly, with a solemn expression.
Although the water in the middle of the Han is not as wide as the downstream, but also several miles wide, the water depth is unfathomable, in the wind and waves, once the patrol ship capsizes, there is almost no possibility of escape, Zhang Le Zhao Zhuo is nervous is also reasonable.
Liu Yin was calm, he stood on the side of the boat, clasped the side of the boat with one hand, and watched everything on the river closely.
However, as Zhao Zhuo said, with such a big wind and waves, almost no boatmen dared to take the risk of sailing, at this time, whether it was a fishing boat or a merchant ship, they all entered the port to avoid the wind and waves, and on the surface of the big river, except for the huge waves several feet high, there seemed to be nothing to be seen.
Zhang Le was a little seasick, and such a violent bump made him miserable, so he said: "Big brother, it seems that there are no boats on this river, so we might as well go back to the shore first, and wait for the calm and calm before setting sail." ”
Liu Yin was faintly helpless, in his imagination, the blue bird would definitely seize this rare bad weather and smuggle out of Hanzhong, but now he has been patrolling the river for a long time, and he hasn't even seen the shadow of a boat, does the blue bird have another plan?
Seeing that the storm was coming, Liu Yin sighed and ordered the patrol ship to sail back.
The soldiers driving the boat didn't want to stay on the water for a long time, and as soon as they heard Liu Yin's order, they immediately turned the bow of the boat and sailed towards the shore.
"Wait......" Liu Yin seemed to see something floating on the water, half floating and half sinking in the wind and waves, looming, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to stop the boat to check.
"Probably a gourd." Although Zhang Le's eyes were small, they were very focused, and after a long distance, he saw a gourd floating in the water, "It's nothing unusual, I don't know who threw it into the river." ”
There are often some strange things floating in the water, and Zhang Le and the others are naturally not surprised.
Liu Yin also saw clearly that it was a gourd, a very ordinary gourd, slightly larger than the common one, but there was really nothing unusual.
The water on the river was very fast, and the gourd quickly floated over, brushing the side of the boat and drifting downstream, and everyone's mind was on the return voyage, and they didn't pay too much attention to the unexpected gourd. Liu Yin's mind suddenly moved, and he instructed the soldiers on the boat: "Quick, get that gourd up." ”
Zhang Le was very puzzled and said: "Big brother, it's just a broken gourd, what is there to catch, when you go back to the shore, I'll find you ten or eight." ”
Liu Yin ignored him and insisted on his own opinion, the soldiers on the ship naturally did not dare to disobey the order of the lieutenant right Cheng, but since the gourd had drifted over, if you wanted to salvage it, you had to turn the bow of the ship, and the sailors laboriously turned the boat around, but fortunately the gourd was larger, and the target was obvious in the river, and the sailors rowed hard, and quickly caught up with the gourd and fished it up.
Liu Yin got the gourd, and saw that there were traces of cracking in the seal of the gourd, obviously this gourd was not intact, he immediately opened the gourd, and took out a roll of cloth from it as if by magic.
As soon as they saw something inside, Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo's eyes were attracted to the past, and when they saw Liu Yin open the cloth, it was a map that was indistinguishable from the Hanzhong defense map intercepted by Chen Cangdao, and they were speechless in surprise.
"Big brother, it's really a god, how do you know what's in this gourd?" Zhang Le exclaimed.
Liu Yin's expression was quite solemn, intercepting this arming map was completely accidental, when Liu Yin saw the gourd, he never thought that there would be such an important thing hidden in the gourd.
I thought that the blue bird would definitely take advantage of the bad weather of this storm and make a move, but I never thought that the blue bird would smuggle information out of the country in this way, the river is turbulent, and no one will notice that there will be something hidden in a small gourd, and the blue bird's move is really unexpected.
Zhao Zhuo wiped a cold sweat and said: "Fortunately, the eldest brother has seen Zhuoyuan and intercepted the plot of the Wei State spy to use the water drifting gourd to pass the drawings, which is really a fluke." ”
Liu Yin still has a dignified face, since the blue bird can think of this method to transmit information, it is obviously also well thought out, it will definitely not use only one gourd, there will definitely be multiple backups, this drawing is obviously the same as the drawing intercepted by Chen Cangdao, it is a transcript, and the downstream blue bird will naturally send someone to respond, and it will be guaranteed to put multiple gourds in the water.
"My lord, I have seen the same gourd drift over ......," one soldier said cautiously, as if he was afraid that Liu Yin would blame him.
Liu Yin didn't mean to blame him at all, and immediately ordered the patrol ship to sail downstream, and at the same time ordered everyone on the boat to keep a close eye on any objects on the water.
All the way down the river, the patrol boat shook and bumped in the wind and waves, and there were many dangers, but everyone did not have the slightest fear, and they all stared at the river, for fear of missing a small thing.
"My lord, there's a gourd in front of you!" The sharp-eyed soldier shouted excitedly.
But at this moment, lightning and thunder roared, torrential rain poured down, and before the ship could get closer, the gourd that had just been discovered immediately disappeared into the vast expanse of water and sky.
"Big brother, you can't chase anymore, the front is Weixing County, and if you go further, you will enter the sphere of influence of Wei!" Zhao Zhuo said helplessly, a boat, dozens of people, once they enter the territory of Wei, they basically have no return.
The rainstorm was coming, Liu Yin was already drenched in the rain, and he shivered with cold, but in his heart, it fell to the freezing point, although this result had long been in his expectation, but when he finally failed, Liu Yin's heart was still faintly painful.
In the fight with the blue bird, he failed again.
"Let's go back!" Liu Yin reluctantly gave an order, his expression was extremely lonely, and the heavens did not bless him, so he could not help it.
The thunderstorm came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the clouds and rain stopped, and the sunset hung on the river in the west, and the whole water seemed to be reflected red by it, and the blood color of the river was always red through the sky......
