Chapter 4 Look away

[Latest chapter reading.]

Floating clouds weigh down the sky, and the flag corners shake the river wind

Zeng Shiquan pressed the railing with his hand and looked at it beautifully, only to feel that the river was blue and yellow, and kept pouring into his eyes, so sour that people wanted to cry, and it shook so much that people wanted to vomit

"How long has it been," he asked, closing his eyes and pinching his eyebrows

An officer replied: "It's been more than three moments," Zeng Shiquan pursed his lips, and he was speechless

The water skin sparkled and kept turning over and over Xuan released a burst of fishy breath It seems that a dragon is suffering from a thousand knives It was easy to survive more than half an hour Li Yichen looked at the sun in the middle of the sky and said in a low voice: "Master, Ji Yeping, they may not be able to see through the deployment of the Governor Last night, most of the wounded soldiers and lost generals are still resting upstream You haven't slept all night It is better to go down to the cabin to rest first At this moment, I don't know who shouted: "Here it is."

Zeng Shiquan's spirits lifted He stood up and looked forward There was a flag sail looming at the head of the river in the mirror tube, changing shapes in the steaming water vapor He couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart: "Ready" He gestured while holding the mirror to observe The gun carriages of the ships on the river and the shore moved when they heard the news and immediately aimed all their firepower at the fleet that was coming downstream, but Zeng Shiquan's hand was halfway through the row, and suddenly stopped, and after a moment's silence, he suddenly raised his face and shouted: "Don't open fire, it's your own people."

After a while, the fleet that came down upstream was intercepted by Jiang Muxian and others, and several Dongchang officials changed boats to come over to see the leader of the leader, and quickly gave a salute and said: "Back to the master, his subordinates were ordered to lead people out to tune in and chase after him, but when they went to the river to investigate, there was no trace of Himenodaira and his gang."

Zeng Shiquan asked urgently: "I didn't see anyone in this way" The leader said: "No" Li Yichen said in a daze: "Master, Ji Yeping is not stupid, he may have expected that we are here, and he feels that it is hopeless to lead the remnants of the army to break through, will he avoid Sichuan against the current, or go around the dry road to Gutian?"

Zeng Shiquan's eyes were fixed, and he quickly glanced at the map, and suddenly his eyes stopped at one point, and his face changed and he shouted: "Call Fang Zhennuo to come."

After a while, Fang Zhunuo came out of the cabin, glanced at the sky, walked up to the ship, and went to the railing to give a salute: "I don't know what the master commands" Zeng Shiquan said gloomily: "I ask you If you want to go to Lushan from the tune, there is no other waterway" Fang Zhunuo sank for a moment and said: "Master Zhu Nuo has been in Yunnan since he entered the Juhao Pavilion due to strategic adjustment, most of the time has been left in Lushan I am not very familiar with the geography of the Dongting area There are many waterways around the Yangtze River Brother Yun knows this best, but why don't you ask him Zeng Shiquan said: "I just want to ask you." ”

"Yes" Fang Zhennuo hurriedly bowed his head and said: "I don't know if I can borrow it on the map."

Zeng Shiquan's eyes did not leave his face, turned the map over, and sent it forward slightly Fang Zhennuo forgave his sin and looked up and down carefully Look at it Suddenly a trace of surprise flashed and quickly converged This change was immediately captured by Zeng Shiquan: "How" Fang Zhunuo seemed to be afraid of something and said stubbornly: "Master, look" He stretched out his hand and pointed to a point below the entrance of the tuning string and on the north bank of the Yangtze River: "This river on the edge of Shunjianli goes north and then turns east to the shore Take a short land route It seems that you can go east through Honghu This not only bypasses us here I can also copy a large piece of shortcut road through Jiangxia and Hankou So calculate the distance to Lushan It is half of the way Although it seems impossible to go around the distance twice in a row But if they are seeing through our thoughts, it will be difficult to say."

Zeng Shiquan still looked at him, and his tone softened slightly: "It's been a long time since this day, depending on you, if Himeno Heiru follows this path, can we still catch up?"

Fang Zhennuo said: "Judging from the wind speed from early to now, I'm afraid it ......" His face flashed with embarrassment, and immediately turned into a relieved look: "But if you go ashore, you will have to abandon the boat, if there is no one on the Honghu side, they can only grab some fishing boats, and the speed should not be much faster."

Zeng Shiquan stared at him silently for a long time, but did not arrange the pursuit, and asked: "You were so shocked that you twitched before, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing that Fang Zhunuo was a little unnatural and half silent, he said as if everything was clear: "Hmph, you don't say it, I also understand that you are not familiar with the geography here, someone is familiar with it, he is going to see me Haha, I hope that I have a leak, and I can step on my head and climb up You have no foundation yourself and rely on him So when I saw this route, I guessed his thoughts, but I didn't dare to say it for fear of offending him Yes and no" Fang Zhunuo lowered his head and seemed to be full of struggling Zeng Shiquan said coldly: "Are you afraid of offending him, aren't you afraid of offending me?" Fang Zhennuo said: "Back to the master." This time, I only thought about Guo Dugong and the four masters, and as for others, I didn't think about it at all."

Zeng Shiquan snorted coldly in his nose: "Your ability to make the rudder when you see the wind is not bad."

His snort was quite stern Fang Zhennuo looked as usual and did not have the slightest sense of panic and said: "Back to the master Pillow Nuo thought that since he was under the command of the Duke, he had to think about everything for the sake of the Duke, for the sake of the factory Personal honor and disgrace and grievances are all small Missing the big thing in the factory That is the most important thing I think that the four masters have also embraced this heart in order to follow the Duke's side Pillow Nuo is just chasing Ji and attaching the tail If this is the case, it can be regarded as seeing the wind and making the rudder Pillow Nuo thought of the Duke in front of him and asked his old man to evaluate the theory for me."

Zeng Shiquan said: "You want to see the Governor so much, the Governor may not want to see you."

Fang Zhennuo said: "I have heard that the Duke has always been thirsty for talent, and the master is the heart of his old man, so naturally he always wants to share his worries for the Duke of Duke."

Zeng Shiquan said: "Oh, it looks like you're going to force me to serve this plate of dishes."

"Don't dare," Fang Zhennuo said: "If the factory can prosper and gather heroes, then do things to supervise the prince and save effort, save the master's effort, and the emperor is satisfied, everyone has a face, and when it comes to it, who can not read the benefits of the master."

Zeng Shiquan smiled "ho-ho": "It's hard to say whether it's a talent or not, but your mouth is still a little interesting."

Fang Zhennuo said: "It is a talent who may not have eloquence, eloquence must be a talent, and he feels that he is quite similar to the master in some aspects, but he has not been able to have both form and spirit, and he will follow you to study hard in the future."

Zeng Shiquan said "um" in his nostrils: "You are very good at talking, but in terms of life, the heat is a little worse."

Fang Zhennuo made his intention clear: "The choice itself means giving up, the clouds are ethereal, the weight is like a mountain, in this era of paying attention to reality, the pillow is just making a decision that anyone can make."

Zeng Shiquan's lower eyelids went up and seemed to be very satisfied with this answer Li Yichen was playing the drum on the sole of the side foot He had been cramped and uneasy for a long time This saw him approaching and said: "Master, if Himeno Ping really escapes and disrupts the deployment of the Governor, this disaster is not small, we should hurry up and pursue it."

"Chasing, chasing, chasing" Zeng Shiquan suddenly raised his voice: "Chase your mother's cunt, everything is behind people's butts, what did you do earlier, if you hadn't pouted to hit Junshan, you would be so passive now" said with a wave of his hand, and slammed the map in his face, "You take a good look, people copy such a big shortcut, can you catch up, and still want to wait for work, but it's a fucking waiting, this time, none of us can run, wait to hand over your head in front of the governor."

Li Yichen didn't expect him to suddenly collapse His face turned black with fright for a while, and he lowered his head again and again and said yes Fang Zhennuo said: "Master Li's original intention is also for your sake The so-called bird flies far away with Luan Feng If I can support you to take a step higher" Zeng Shiquan said: "He is not lifting up, he is dragging it down" Following the call of raising his hand The commander quickly approached He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something Suddenly froze again Shan Er instructed him to retreat temporarily Turned to Fang Zhennuo and asked: "Xiao Fang, the current situation is in your opinion, what should be done "Although the voice was calm There was a fierce hostility in his eyes

Fang Zhennuo met his gaze without fear and said calmly: "The reason why Juhao Pavilion can cause trouble is mainly because there are too many people under its umbrella If you can wipe out all the minions, then Ji Yeping can't afford to raise any strong winds and waves with just a few people around him."

Zeng Shiquan's face was cold and unchanged Fang Zhennuo continued: "The waterway is far away, although we can't catch up with him, but there are many industrial branches of Juhao Pavilion along the river, and there are also a lot of miscellaneous fish in its small gangs and factions" Hearing this, Li Yichen, who bowed his head next to him, accompanied him and peeked at Zeng Shiquan carefully, knowing that although he still did not react to these words on the surface, he must have understood in his heart What the imperial court is worried about is not the heroic sword with high martial arts, but the "potential" driven by these people Controlling people may not be able to control the situation, and controlling the situation will definitely be able to control people All the plans of Juhao Pavilion are still in the dark Once the banner of rebellion is waved, it is very likely to cause people in other places to revolt at the same time to respond That kind of turmoil is what the current imperial court does not want to see and cannot bear In this case, it is far more meaningful to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle than to catch the arsonist As long as these miscellaneous fish are collected, not only can it be offset by the fault of getting rid of Himeno Hirai, but I am afraid that it will also make the governor more satisfied than expected

At this time, Fang Zhennuo looked at Zeng Shiquan, leaned over slightly, and had a slight smile on his face: "Now that the account book is in your hand, the master only needs to follow the map, and it is not difficult to catch them all."

Zeng Shiquan said: "What kind of account book?"

Fang Zhennuo was stunned and said: "It's the account book that I stole out after Himenodaira left the island, which records the branch strongholds and commercial layouts of Juhao Pavilion along the Yangtze River."

Li Yichen said eagerly: "This thing is in your hand, don't take it out quickly."

Fang Zhennuo said: "I have already handed it over" Suddenly choked on the words as if he understood something, as if he choked on the wind

Zeng and Li were in a slight trance, and their faces immediately showed anger: It seems that he had already given this account book to Yun Bian Qing But Yun Bian Qing hid it and didn't say it That is naturally because he wanted to take it to the Duke to ask for credit Li Yichen grabbed the handle of the knife and leaned over and said: "Master, this kid is too not a thing Simply "

Zeng Shiquan suddenly pressed him to the side, and there was a sense of movement under a white face, and there was a sense of lead water flowing He didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly nodded his hand, and asked Jiang Muxian to be recalled, and then called two personal officials and instructed: "You go ashore and send a message quickly, and tell the governor the truth about the situation here, and don't hide it, and remind the governor that Ji Yeping is very likely to lead people and horses to copy the back road of the official army Please be careful You hurry back to Yueyang and prepare sixty fast horses for me to feed me with enough grass and fodder In addition, Yunzhonghou, Huoli Guwen, and Sonam Gyatso and others are all put forward and tied up immediately." Prepare horses for Xiaoshan Zongshu and Lu Huangqiao Prepare to march to Lushan No, no, no, let them go first Soon after the two officers left, Jiang Muxian's boat also came over Zeng Shiquan called him to the ship's building Pointing to the map, he commanded: "Ji Yeping didn't show up It doesn't mean that he must have taken a shortcut to Lushan It is also possible to sneak upstream and wait for me to withdraw your troops You take the Qin family's men to continue to blockade the river to prevent him from coming to 'take the empty door' At the same time, send some people up the river Carefully search for their traces If you find the abandoned ship in this river in the north of the river Then immediately return to the army and go down the river at a fast pace."

After sending Jiang Muxian away, he asked Yun Bianqing to be called out of the cabin and said in a good time: "Ji Yeping has not appeared for a long time Presumably, he must have absconded elsewhere with some remnants At present, it is important to arrest the Juhao Yu Party I have sent Lord Li to be fully responsible for the search and arrest along the river You have been in Juhao Pavilion for many years, and you must be quite familiar with the personnel and arrangements at the bottom of them Just be a support guide for Lord Li Without waiting for Yun Bian to clear his mouth, he smiled again and made an expression of "I'm really sorry" and continued: "I know that Lord Yun is a cadre of the Ghost Mist Department Everything should have been arranged by the Governor himself, but this time the matter is special Since Xiaoquan has been appointed to be in charge of the affairs of Junshan in front of the Governor, it is inevitable that he will temporarily overstep his responsibilities Everyone is working for the Governor, working for the factory, and serving the country.

Yun Bian Qing knew that with Ji Yeping's temper, there was no reason to abscond and avoid it, but Zeng Shiquan was so wrong that he deserved to be criticized by the governor in the future He was happy to see a joke It's just that he arranged for himself to follow Li Yichen Most of the credit is bound to go to the head of the surname Li It is actually not on the head of his surname Zeng It's just that now people are under the low eaves and have to bow their heads People speak beautifully Another thing is that there is really no one at hand I want to present the account book to the governor and then come back to arrest people I am afraid that I will miss the opportunity On the contrary, I can't even get some small work At this moment, I knew that I was suffering a loss, so I had to endure it and said with a smile: "How can we be one, we are one, and it will be far away if the master says it."

I saw Zeng Shiquan smile slightly, and then turned his face away: "Master Li, although you have no affiliation with Lord Yun, you must be polite to him, treat him as the same as me, and even respect him more than me, understand?"

"Yes, Master" Li Yichen lowered his head and glanced at this side: "Lord Yun, next, I want you to take care of me" Yun Bianqing heard that the voice was not right, and his heart was the same as a mirror: he was only called to be called This time, he didn't have any door to manipulate him because there was no "subordination" between the two at all, and he smiled and said: "Before the Governor confesses the guilt, Yun no longer dares to accept the word adult, Lord Li, don't call it that."

Li Yichen was in a trance a little when he heard this, and suddenly understood: Yunbian Qingyuan did not take refuge in it, but was sent out by Dongchang Originally, it was not a white body He took a small share of the sin of Ji Yeping This time, he took a small share of Ji Yeping's sin He and Zeng Zhangye took a large share It is still difficult to say anything about the promotion of honor and disgrace He took this to a little bit It is to save some face for each other Some things, some words should not be too much The ghost fog person has a one-line contact with the governor Although the official position is not clear, the status is extraordinary Maybe it is higher than the status of the four major stalls It seems that he should really pay attention to it Don't look away While thinking in his heart, he peeked to the side Zeng Shiquan had a slight smile on his face, and his expression was very steady

Zeng Shiquan had no intention of bothering about idle things at this time At that time, he ordered all the officers and soldiers to follow Li Yichen to use it, and brought Fang Zhennuo and more than a dozen personal officers to bring Ah Yao to take a small boat and turn around and go back to Yueyang He didn't go far into Chengling Jikou A clipper came over Zeng Shiquan took a look and immediately recognized that it was his own men who stood at the bow of the boat and said loudly when he was busy with the staggered carriages: "Didn't you let a few of you stay in Junshan, why did you get out?"

The leader of the officials over there didn't expect that he would be able to stop in this small boat while waving and turning the rudder while shouting: "Back to the master, when we were searching the mountain, we didn't find anything like the roster But Lord Yu suddenly remembered something It was said that there is a river near Jianli in Jiangbei that can lead to the flood lake If Ji Yeping and they go here, then your ambush outside the Chengling Rock will be set up in vain He asked us to come over and have a look If it has already started, it will be fine If there is still no movement, you can quickly bring someone back It is said that after half a day, the waterway will not be able to catch up if it is far away But Himenodaira is going to go to Lushan after all We have unimpeded passage on land, if we go ashore from Yueyang and go straight east, day and night, maybe there will be a chance."

Zeng Shiquan's eyes fixed for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that Yu Dayou would be able to help himself even if he was squeezed out, and then he raised his breath and said loudly: "You guys go back and thank the old general for reminding me a lot, just say that I am already on the way, and inform him to leave some people to clean up the aftermath of Junshan It is very likely that Ji Yeping will personally or send someone to Gutian to transfer troops, and ask the old general to return to the defense deployment in time."

The officer answered and ordered his men to bow their heads

The clipper went diagonally against the current and sailed into a floating, shining light Gently shook the shadow Like a piece of cinder that fell into molten steel and melted away Zeng Shiquan watched It felt that the light was expanding towards the heavens and the earth In an instant, the two eyes were blind and melted through themselves

When his consciousness returned to his body, he felt an imperceptible smile beside him, it was Fang Zhennuo's smile, and this smile couldn't tell when it was activated, when it disappeared, and it seemed to be there all along, and it didn't come from the corners of his mouth, nor from the bottom of his eyes, but more like it came from the whole body, from a whole, and it reminded people of the Dugong and gave people a feeling that all their scheming had been seen through, a feeling that they were gods and not people, and in front of this smile, it seemed that all living beings were aliens, and they were one and the same

For a moment, a strange and intense antipathy surged from the bottom of his heart, and it seemed to freeze his expression like a frozen edge

At that time, he turned sideways and asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?"

Fang Zhennuo said: "Oh, it's nothing, the master is thoughtful, the distribution is appropriate, and it is eye-opening, and he feels that he is really with the right person this time."

Zeng Shiquan stared at him: "You are glad that you are with the right person, Zeng Mou is worried that he will lose his eyes."
