"I knew that he was an eggless/eggless product, why did Mr. Qin bother with him like this?" Seeing Fu Qinghe's solemn face, the short man thought that he wanted to retreat again, so he complained dissatisfiedly.

Lin Jian saw that Fu Qinghe's face was solemn and he was about to open his mouth to speak, he preemptively said: "Entrust the matter of the future, Master Fu don't mention it again......" He said to Qin Chengzu, "From Qingpujin to Dongning, the waterway twists and turns for more than a thousand miles, there are many opportunities, why rush to die tonight?" ”

Lin Lian's tone was not polite, the short and strong man changed his face when he heard this, and wanted to scold back, Qin Chengzu asked him to calm down for a while, and said to Lin Lian: "What is the best plan for Tan Ye?" Glancing at Fu Qinghe, he thought to himself that since the young man named Tan Zong in front of him could have the grace of life for Fu Qinghe, he thought he was a powerful character. He didn't have the ambition to drive Fu Qinghe away just now, because he also considered that their manpower was too limited, and if he could have one more helper, he would have more hope.

"We need four boats, three light boats, and one would be a little bigger. It's best not to alarm the place when you get these ships, can Mr. Qin do it? Lin Jian asked, he learned from the short and strong man to call Qin Chengzu Mr. Qin, even if Qin Chengzu held a waist knife, he was a little rude, not at all like the famous horse thief leader.

"It's not hard. Friends on the road may not pull the flag and openly help us kill officers and soldiers, it is easy to buy a few ships. Qin Chengzu said.

"Liumakou also sells smuggled salt." Fu Qinghe was afraid that Lin would be puzzled, so he explained a little bit or two.

The counties of Hailingfu on the south bank of Qingjiangpu are one of the largest sea salt producing areas in China, there are official salt, and naturally there are also private salt, and the two sides of Qingjiangpu are also the largest sources of illegal salt in Jianghuai.

"There's so much nonsense, what the hell do you have to do to say it?" The short man asked impatiently, "Master can't stand your pastime." He hated Fu Qinghe deeply, and naturally he didn't have a good impression of Lin Tie who came with Fu Qinghe.

"Zhou Pu, be patient," Qin Chengzu said in a deep voice to the short man Zhou Pu to calm down, and then asked Lin Lian, "Do you want it immediately?" ”

"We still have people on Haikouzi, thirty miles away, we have to pick them up first, and we have to go upstream before dawn, the sooner we can get the boat, the better," Lin Jian said, "If it is convenient, there are still many things for Mr. Qin to prepare...... We'll rent a boat to go into the water first," he said, looking up at the sky, "and we'll wait in the middle of the day, ten miles down from the ferry." ”

"How many of you are there?" Qin Chengzu's eyes lit up, he was worried about the lack of manpower, even after leaving the ferry, there were more than 20 officers and soldiers escorted, and they were the elite of Chen Hansan's department, they were only eighteen people, and they had to fight on the battlefield, and they were not afraid of twice as many enemies, they were afraid that the officers and soldiers would kill the prisoners first when they were attacked.

"There are quite a few people, but I'm afraid that there won't be many people who can help, but they can wave their flags and shout to distract the attention of the officers and soldiers, so that it is convenient for Mr. Qin to start." Lin Jian told the truth.

Qin Chengzu only thought he was modest, and Lin Jian said: "I will leave with Master Fu first, Mr. Qin is still at ease?" ”

"He, a gutless rat, has the courage to inform, how can he be a turtle with a shrunken head at this time?" The short man Zhou Pu said.

Fu Qinghe clasped his fists at Zhou Pu and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for still trusting me." ”

Zhou Pu turned his head to the side and ignored him.

Immediately went their separate ways, Lin Tie and Fu Qinghe returned to the ferry, bought a few sets of women's clothes from the shop, and bought a piano to see the rough workmanship, Lin Tie smiled and said to Fu Qinghe: "I don't know if Miss Su Mei can play a good tune on this piano." ”

"Start in the river, if something goes wrong, the government will track it down, I'm afraid that it will find out your identity Master Lin." Fu Qinghe said.

Lin Jian said lightly: "It's a big deal to fall into the grass; As for the Lin family, they will say that I have been killed in Baisha County, and that someone else is just impersonating me in Tinghu with my tooth card - how much trouble can it be? He asked Fu Qinghe again, "It doesn't matter if Master Fu confirms that Enze and Qiao Zhong see it?" ”

"They would rather die than surrender to the government," Fu Qinghe said with a hint of sadness between his eyebrows, "But we also have to prevent them from inadvertently leaking their mouths, and we will also do what we discussed before, so we don't need to talk to them in detail." ”

"Hmm." Lin Jian nodded.

Let the food shop prepare a table of dishes and a few jars of Tinghu roasted rice wine to the ferry, and Lin Jian and Fu Qinghe rented a Wupeng boat at the ferry.

Lin Jian excused himself to go to the river to admire the moon and did not like outsiders to interfere; The boatman could get a large silver coin as a deposit, and the charter money given by Lin Lian was quite considerable, and even considered whether to take the deposit and fly away, so they naturally let them carry a table of wine and food downstream on their Wupeng boat, without asking Lin Jian for any note.

It's best not to leave a note, so that even if Lin Jian doesn't return the boat, he doesn't have to worry about the flaws that the note will leave for the government to trace.

The shallow water propped up the boat, and went down the river, the speed was very convenient, and in three quarters it traveled twenty or thirty miles, and met Su Mei and others who were trapped in the shallow water. Fu Qinghe didn't delay, only said a few words to Su Mei alone, and then took four sturdy teenagers to Hequwan to meet Qin Chengzu and others, Lin Jian stayed on the boat to prepare, he thought to himself that Fu Qinghe parted ways with Qin Chengzu and others ten years ago, and Su Mei was only eight or nine years old at that time, and he didn't know if she and Qin Chengzu and others were old people.

"I want to implicate Lin Gongzi in danger again......" Su Mei was still wearing coarse cloth clothes, her sleeves rolled up, revealing her crystal clear and jade-like slender wrists, and handed a sweat towel to Lin Jian to wipe her sweat.

Lin Jian hugged a large bundle of iron cluster arrows on the deck, these will be moved to the small boat later, and other materials will also be transferred, he took the sweat towel, wiped his face, looked at Su Mei's charming face under the moonlight, he didn't expect her to really be involved with Qin Chengzu and them, smiled, and said: "Helping the poor for many days, do you want me to abandon you at this time?" How could I forsake you? "His words are not casually perfunctory, since the resurrection of the water, even with the memory of Lin Tie before, this era still gives him a sense of alienation like a veil, suddenly encountered such a big change, these days to survive, Lin Tie's closeness to Su Mei, Xiaoman, Fu Qinghe and the teenagers is far stronger than the Lin family who is far away in Dongyang and seems to have only symbolic meaning. It was Su Mei, Xiaoman, Fu Qinghe and the teenagers who made him feel that he was really living in this era, and this feeling, this feeling, this feeling, gradually sprouted in his heart unconsciously.

Su Meiqiao's face tilted slightly, staring at Lin Lian's eyes that were as deep as ink under the moonlight, thinking carefully about what he had just said, and wanting to stay by his side, it was really reassuring. A gust of cold wind blew, and Su Mei suddenly realized that he had been staring at others for too long, and he was busy turning his face sideways unintentionally, and saw that Lin Lian's attention seemed to be moving the materials in the cabin to the young men on the deck, so he was a little relieved.

Qin Chengzu and the others got the boat earlier than the agreed time, and in the middle of the day, four Wupeng light boats quietly sailed.

Lin Jian stood at the bow of the boat, watching Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu and the others follow Fu Qinghe to climb up to the deck from the rope ladder, and noticed that Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu and the others were shocked when they saw Su Mei just giving her coarse cloth clothes that could not be concealed, and there was no other abnormality, making sure that they didn't know Su Mei. However, it is difficult to say that Fu Qinghe and Qin Chengzu and others were separated ten years ago, and Su Mei was only eight or nine years old ten years ago.

Qin Chengzu and the others didn't all come over, Fu Qinghe was worried that the big boat that Lin Tie wanted would be shallow in the shallow water, so he stopped in the meanders of the river more than ten miles away, leaving people to watch, Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu and other ten people followed Fu Qinghe to pick up Lin Tie, Su Mei, Xiaoman and the boys.

Zhou Pu saw that there was such a big boat hidden here, climbed on the boat and walked around the boat, and came back and asked Fu Qinghe suspiciously: "Where did you get this big ship?" You have this big ship, what else do you want us to build? The 'big boats' that Xiao Blind gave us were far less than half the size. ”

"The boat is too big, the draft is deep, we don't know the waterway of Qingjiangpu, and we were accidentally trapped here," Lin Jian said, "Now is not the time to talk about it, there are some things to move to the Wupeng boat......

When the boat came over, Chen Enze and the young men began to move the necessary things on the big boat to the Wupeng boat, and Fu Qinghe took a mulberry bow and gave it to Qin Chengzu: "You try this." ”

"Good stuff!" Zhou Pu took the mulberry bow in his hand first, pulled the string, took out an arrow, and shot it towards the night sky, only to hear the sound of "poof" breaking the air, and the arrow didn't know where to shoot, Zhou Pu rubbed his hands and praised, "Good bow, I'm afraid of the power of a stone, where did you get this good thing?" ”

Lin Jian has long suspected that Fu Qinghe was born in the military in his early years to have a good archery, folk hunters mostly use soft bows, few people have the opportunity to come into contact with hard bows, real archery masters are almost all born in the military camp, seeing Fu Qinghe's "old man" Zhou Pu's posture of opening the bow and shooting arrows, he also knows that he is a good archeryman, and he is more and more sure of the guess in his heart. Lin Jian thought to himself that since Fu Qinghe, Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu and others were all born in the military camp, why did Fu Qinghe live in seclusion in Jiangning in the past ten years, and why did Qin Chengzu and Zhou Pu become horse thieves in Huaishang?

Alas, everyone has their own privacy, and Lin Jian is not a mouthy person.

Su Mei and Xiaoman stood quietly with those young teenagers, and they didn't come over to meet Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu and others.

"The bow is mine." Zhou Pu directly announced that the mulberry bow belonged to him.

The government has the strictest control over bows and arrows; Moreover, the production of a good bow is very complicated, and it often takes several years to make a good bow, so it is very rare for a good bow with more than eight buckets to be lost to the people. Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu and others are on the flow of Kou Huai, other weapons are easy to do, and they can also make their own bows and arrows, but it is difficult to find good materials, and there is not enough time to make bows, and it is good that homemade bows and arrows can be used as hunting bows, and they will not be much better than the inferior longbows used by the sword archers of the inspection department and the county government. With such an inferior bow, how could Zhou Pu think it was enough? Fu Qinghe threw the mulberry bow over, he grabbed it and couldn't put it down, play carefully, the bow body is made of hundred-year-old Sanga old sandalwood, the string is hemp rope twisted wire, he took advantage of the moonlight, saw the bow tip carved with "Ninghai Town Supervision" five fine words, asked Fu Qinghe: "You robbed the warship of Ninghai Town?" ”

No wonder Zhou Pu thought so, he had already seen the two three-bow bed crossbows on the deck.

Fu Qinghe smiled without explaining, and said, "There are still a few bows here, if you are happy, take them." ”

This three-masted sailing ship is the original pirate warship, and Xiao Taoyuan, the second general and deputy cavalry lieutenant of Ninghai Town, let his subordinates drive this ship to sea, because he wanted to cultivate a pirate force loyal to himself, so he naturally would not be too stingy. After Lin Tie and they took the ship, there were two three-bow bed crossbows on the ship, which were rare even in Ninghai Town, which they had not expected to get in advance, which were sharp weapons that could shoot short spears as arrows five or six hundred paces away.

Fifteen elites of Ninghai Town died in the hands of Lin Tie before and after, in addition to the twenty-one long and short blades, they also obtained a total of six strong bows, four arm crossbows, and twelve pieces of leather armor and Xuanjia.

Archery can not be achieved overnight, six strong bows, except for Fu Qinghe's own one, the other five bows are given to Qin Chengzu; The four-arm crossbow was easy to operate, so it was not let out. In addition to the five strong bows, Lin Jian and Fu Qinghe had already discussed giving Qin Chengzu some middle-length weapons such as conical spear guns and Mo knives, but these weapons were heavy to start with, and the young people couldn't use them for the time being. Qin Chengzu They are horse thieves, and they use short and medium weapons such as ring-headed knives and waist knives with straight backs and straight blades on horseback, and it is convenient to come and go like the wind, and it is convenient to slash and kill, but the abandonment of horses and foot battles, water battles, or medium and long weapons such as cone spear guns, Mo knives, and knives are more powerful. In addition, the leather armor is light, and young people can wear it, so naturally they are not allowed to do it; Xuanjia is actually iron armor, a complete set of nearly fifty or sixty catties, not to mention the youth, Lin Jian can't last long when he wears iron armor, and the twelve sets of Xuanjia are naturally given to Qin Chengzu.

The plan is to rob the boat and rob the prisoners in the water tomorrow, but it is still necessary to use Qin Chengzu and others as the main combat force, and Lin Jian and Fu Qinghe naturally have to spare no effort to equip them first.

Zhou Pu couldn't wait to occupy a bow and a Mo knife, he also thought that the iron armor was bulky, and he only wore half armor, with an excited face, he patted Fu Qinghe's shoulder and said: "I used to think that you were a bad seed and wronged you; I didn't expect you to have the courage to rob the warship in Ninghai Town! ”

Fu Qinghe still smiled bitterly, he knew that Zhou Pu was a rectum, and there was nothing to worry about.

Qin Chengzu didn't say anything, he took another bow from Fu Qinghe's hand, in addition to seeing the two three-bow bed crossbows on the deck, he also saw that these hands that Lin Lian said could indeed only wave the flag and shout at that time, he wondered in his heart what Fu Qinghe and Lin Lian were doing in Qingjiangpu with this young man.

He saw that Fu Qinghe and Lin Tie didn't mean to explain, he didn't know much about asking anything, although these teenagers seemed to be helping something, but Fu Qinghe and Lin Tie were willing to give them this batch of excellent weapons, which made him happy.

Seeing the young men helping to carry the bed crossbow onto the Wupeng boat, Zhou Pu shouted excitedly on the side: "Thief mother, intercept the official boat tomorrow and fuck him directly on the water!" ”

If the number of officers and soldiers escorted by the official ship does not increase tomorrow, if the officers and soldiers are attacked and they will kill the prisoners first, with this batch of good things, Qin Chengzu is also confident that he will directly rob and kill the official ship on the river - what he is most worried about now is that the officers and soldiers will kill the prisoners first when they are attacked, which is also the reason why they dare not make a move.
