Not only Wang Yongzhu saw it, but Song Chongjin and Song Xiaoyin also saw it, and their faces became solemn.

Song Xiaoyin said in a low voice: "My lord, I'm afraid it's a spies of the water bandits, come to see what we are doing." We have the flag of the government on our ship, and now that it is daytime, as long as the speed is maintained, it will pass like this, and they must not dare to do it. ”

"Even if there is a real case, there are subordinates here, and they can protect the safety of adults and everyone."

"It's just that there are too many boats following behind us, and if we want to pass through this Tiger Run Gorge, I'm afraid it will take a day's work. When it gets dark, if there are still ships behind that do not pass and fall behind, I am afraid it will be dangerous. ”

His meaning is very clear, their boat speeds up, with the force of a few of them, even if the bandits come, not to mention the safety of a boatload of people, but Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu, as well as Zhang Pozi, Jin Hu and Jian Huaifeng, they can protect it.

As for the safety of the others, or the ships behind them, they are more than they can do.

Song Chongjin didn't speak, and looked at Jian Huaifeng: "What do you think, sir?" ”

Jian Huaifeng stretched out his hand and stroked the beard under his chin before he said: "According to the usual practice, these ships are attached to us, and it is their luck that they can escape this catastrophe if they can keep up; If it's really bad luck and falls behind, after all, with us in front, those water bandits don't dare to go too far, at most they just want money, not life! In the end, those boatmen can only blame themselves for their bad luck at most, and they dare not complain again! ”

"If you want to go to Chicheng County quietly and safely, then follow the usual practice." Speaking of this, Jian Huaifeng paused and glanced at Song Chongjin.

Song Chongjin remained silent, he couldn't see any thoughts from his face, he only hummed, knowing that Jian Huaifeng hadn't finished speaking, so he listened to it.

Jian Huaifeng looked around, and they were not outsiders.

Only then did he say in a low voice: "Chicheng is a place where the people are fierce, and the adults are here to shoulder a heavy burden." If you want it to happen, you must use the means of thunder. In that case, it's better to take this water bandit with a knife-"

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became.

Wang Yongzhu listened from the sidelines, and it was clear that Jian Huaifeng meant that it was better to temporarily dock the ship in the middle of the river first, and not rush into the Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Then he sent Song Xiaoyin to secretly drive a small boat back from behind, and dozens of miles away from Tiger Leaping Gorge, there was a forbidden army stationed by the imperial court.

Song Xiaoyin took the handwritten letter stamped with Song Chongjin's official seal, went to see the forbidden army, united with them, and wiped out these bandits.

This naturally took into account that the commander of the forbidden army stationed nearby was once under the command of Song Hong.

This face will definitely be given.

In this way, it can not only suppress the bandits, but also make Song Chongjin's reputation known.

Since it is released outside, so many people are staring, it is better to be more high-profile.

Those forbidden troops can naturally receive a share of the credit, the best of both worlds.

Not to mention Song Chongjin, when Song Xiaoyin's brothers heard Jian Huaifeng's words, they couldn't help but have their eyes lit up and they were eager to try.

Song Chongjin was about to speak, when he saw Wang Yongzhu's figure, he hurriedly said, "Why did you come out?" It's sunny outside, don't get sunburned—"

Wang Yongzhu walked over with a smile and saluted Jian Huaifeng, Jian Huaifeng didn't dare to accept the full courtesy, turned sideways, and arched his hand: "I've seen Madame!" ”

"I just heard Mr. Jian's words on the side, there is one thing I don't understand, I want to ask Mr. Jian, don't be weird!"

Jian Huaifeng has not had much contact with Wang Yongzhu during this period of time, and the news that can be passed on from the capital knows that this county lady is not as blessed and pleasing as she seems on the surface, and it is also a bit tough.

Not to mention, Song Chongjin saw that Song Chongjin had a lot of respect for this lady along the way, and even a little afraid of guilt.

Of course, Wang Yongzhu is Gu Changqing's niece, and with his friendship with Gu Changqing, Wang Yongzhu is also like his own nephew.

Not to mention, Wang Yongzhu has been respectful and respectful to him all the way, and he has always been a son and nephew, and he also loves Wang Yongzhu very much.

Hearing Wang Yongzhu say this, he smiled and said, "Madam, please speak." ”

"I don't understand a thing, if this forbidden army stationed nearby is really so useful, why has this bandit been entrenched here for so many years? As far as I know, this local forbidden army is almost every three years, and this water bandit in the Tiger Gorge has not been so rampant in the past few years——"

They are all smart people, and they don't need to be too thorough.

Jian Huaifeng's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he smiled and said, "Is it the old man's negligence, or is the lady's eyes like a torch, and she can see the strangeness in this——"

There is no different color on his face, and he is not embarrassed at all.

Wang Yongzhu secretly muttered to the old fox in his heart, and his face was still smiling: "Where, we are still young, and we have to give more guidance from Mr. on the side!" ”

Point to point.

After a few polite words to each other, they lifted the stubble and discussed it.

After a while, Song Xiaoyin called the boatman over and whispered a few words.

The boatman looked at Song Xiaoyin in surprise and confirmed it again, although he still had some doubts in his heart, he still followed Song Xiaoyin's instructions and passed the word to the boat behind.

Halfway up the mountainside of Hupao Gorge, a group of big men, all fierce and vicious, shirtless, are looking condescendingly at the river.

From their position, they could clearly see the flag of the government on the ship that took the lead.

The man who hit the head had a narrow scar on his cheek, from the left eye to the right cheek, like a centipede lying on his face with teeth and claws, looking particularly hideous.

With a stick of grass in his mouth, he looked at it for a long time, and saw that those boats went from slowing down to stopping directly in the middle of the river, and the boats behind were slowly approaching.

couldn't help but spit out the grass and scolded: "Damn! Finally, such a string of fat sheep came, and there was actually an official ship! Isn't this a beak of ducks that have flew? Have you heard, which way is the fairy? ”

A thief-eyed man in the back came up: "I inquired, and it was said that it was a county order who went to the northwest to take office." ”

"It's just a county order, afraid that he's a bird? Big brother, we haven't opened for a month or two, if we let it go again, our brothers will only have to drink the northwest wind! This is just a county order, let's just let them go, it's good to survive, don't you dare to come back to us to settle accounts? ”

"That's right! If the official is bigger, we still have to take some, but it's just a small county order, and those who can be sent to the place where birds don't in the northwest either have no background and no backstage, or they offend people and are sent out. As long as we don't want his life, we must not be able to make waves! ”

"But no, what are we afraid of? Even if we do get out of the basket, don't we still have-"

"Shut up!" The boss glared at the man who almost slipped out.

He also felt that these subordinates were right, the most important thing was that the fleet below knew at a glance that most of them were merchant ships, and this kind of sheep was the fattest.

With such a big amount of money in front of him, it is really reluctant to let him give up.

But if he really wanted to break the rules of so many years, he felt that it was a little tricky beyond words, so he kept a calm face, looked at the boat on the river, and didn't know what was wrong, and began to move again.

Seeing the fleet heading towards the Tiger Leaping Gorge, the bandit boss was heartbroken, "Let the brothers prepare, at their speed, at least half of the darkness will not be able to get out of the canyon." Those who have a big life, we don't care, this one didn't go out, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu came, it would be a dish on our plate! ”
