Chapter 261: Finding the Thief's Lair (2nd Update)

"Where?" asked in unison. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chang Wei smiled lightly and said, "Old Hu, are there any peaks and islands as steep as knife beams on Zhaoyang Lake?"

"Weishan Lake and Zhaoyang Lake are connected to the islands, the two most famous are called Weishan Island and Zhaoyang Island, the two islands are not very big, the outside is dense black locust, thorns, the inside is full of steep strange stones, the appearance is very scary. ”

The smile on Chang Wei's face became stronger and stronger, "Things like black locust and thorns are not burned and difficult to cut down, plus there are many strange rocks inside, presumably no one wants to go up." ”

"Zhong!" Lao Hu slapped his thigh violently, gave a thumbs up, and said: "The big officials are really clever, and no one really wants to go." ”

Tang Jinyi asked, "Then why is it the most famous?"

Cheng Shiyu immediately interjected: "Because there are many shallow reefs there, and there are still haunting ghosts." No matter how good the boat you are, no matter how good the water is person, it can't be better to get in, and no one comes out in a boat. ”

Chang Wei's eyes flashed, "So, the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes, no one dares to go anymore, and there is nothing valuable on the island anyway." ”

Lao Hu nodded again and again, "Zhong, that's the reason, the big officials are really smart." ”

Chang Wei suddenly shouted: "Hu Yang, go and give an order: the ships are divided into two teams, and I will fence off Weishan Island and Zhaoyang Island! Remember, not a single fish is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Yes!"

Old Hu's eyes widened, and he said in a lost voice: "The big officials think that the White Lotus Thief's lair is on those two islands?"

Chang Wei didn't answer, but everyone believed his judgment.

Lu Wenmao praised convincingly: "No wonder people say that soldiers should know the right time, place and people, and adults really have the posture of famous generals!"

Chang Wei laughed and said, "It's too early to say this, and it's not too late to find the thief's lair praising me." ”

Lu Wenmao said firmly: "The students have also been selected for Xiucai, but they have never known that the root cause of the flooding of the Yellow River lies in the siltation of sediment and the diversion of the route, let alone the cause of the Luxi Plain. Adults can be the choice of famous generals to govern the army and train soldiers, and if you go to the Ministry of Industry, you can also do it. ”

"Wen Mao, you don't care about the military band, you can take care of logistics and supplies in the future. "Since listening to Lu Wenmao's treatment of the captives in Luoma Lake, Chang Wei has wanted to promote him, and now he has found an opportunity.

Lu Wenmao said with a sad face: "It's good, but the student is always a disciple of Beigumen, and the master of the sect treats me well. ”

The disciples of Beigumen are all borrowed temporarily, and when Chang Wei uses them, they belong to the Volunteer Battalion, and they have to return them to Beigumen after they are used up, which is the condition agreed with Jinglun at the beginning.

Lu Wenmao's statement made Chang Wei even happier, which shows that Jinglun does have a unique personality charm, and it is difficult for people who want to dig up Beigumen, such an ally with excellent character is also extremely beneficial to himself. On the other hand, it also shows that Lu Wenmao has a loyal heart, and it is too rare to have the ability and loyalty.

Chang Wei said solemnly: "You can rest assured of this, with my relationship with the master of the scripture gate, I can still ask him for a few people, you don't have to worry." What about your own wishes, would you like to do something with me?"

Lu Wenmao lifted his robe, bowed down at Chang Wei's feet, and said, "Subordinate Lu Wenmao to meet your lord!"

"Okay, please!"

At that moment, Chang Wei asked Lao Hu and Cheng Shiyu about the topography and hydrology of Weishan Island and Zhaoyang Island, drew an accurate map, and then Chang Ping formulated a detailed battle plan, revised it himself, and handed it over to the herald ship to distribute to each big ship.

When he returned to the cabin after finishing everything, he found that Huikong had been following him, and Chang Weiqi said, "You have something to do with me?"

"The water is gone, how do you know?" Huikong did speak like a child, very unsmooth, but Chang Wei understood what he meant.

After knowing what happened to Huikong, Chang Wei sympathized with him and patiently explained: "You asked me how I knew about the disappearance of Shuibo? ”

"Teach me!"

"If you want to read, okay, I'll teach you when I have time!" Chang Wei asked gently like a child: "In Shaolin Temple, have they taught you to read and write?"

"I don't like to chant scriptures, practice martial arts!"

Chang Wei rolled two cigarettes, lit them together and took a puff, and handed the other one to Huikong to teach him to smoke, "Shaolin monks don't know how to teach, normal people like to practice martial arts, and don't like to chant scriptures." ”

"Ahem, ahem, grandpa will teach to death. ”

Dead grandfather, the monk who picked him up from the wolf's den. Chang Wei patted him on the back and told him to smoke slowly, but Huikong immediately threw away the cigarette.

"Don't like it?" Chang Wei turned out two large pieces of sauce beef and handed them to him, and Huikong swallowed them in a few bites.

Chang Wei immediately handed him water, "Don't choke, you can eat as much meat as you want in the future." ”

Huikong's sluggish expression seemed to change, and he said, "Like grandpa." ”

"No way, I'm not old. ”

"Give meat to eat, like grandpa. ”

"No way, there are too many people who give you meat to eat. ”

"Give water to drink, like grandpa. ”

"No way, more people give you water to drink. ”

"Tell stories, like grandpa. ”

"Impossible......"

Lao Hu pointed the route at the bow of the ship: "The big ship starts from Hezhuang to Weishan Island and Zhaoyang Island, first of all, it must bypass Chongshan Island, there are two commonly used waterways in this waterway, we can't go to the east, so we take the west one." We must first sail thirty miles northwest and then turn northeast to find a suitable waterway. ”

Most of the water depth at the southern end of Weishan Lake is about one zhang, and only a few river ditches in the middle are more than five zhang deep to sail big ships.

Now is the time of day, and the autumn sky is exceptionally blue. Chang Wei stood on the top floor of the building ship, looking at it with a thousand miles of tubes, and it was faintly visible twenty or thirty miles away, but he still couldn't see the destination. There was no trace of the thieves on the east and west sides of the river, which were clearly discernible, and it is presumable that under the pressure of Yuan Keli, they concentrated most of their forces in Zou County and Teng County, which were closer to Jining in the north, and did not have time to control the south for the time being.

After sailing fifty miles, part of the area on the east bank of Weishan Lake belonging to Yi County, the capital of Yanzhou, was already under the control of the White Lotus Sect, and in order to hide their tracks to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, all the ships were camouflaged, and they looked like they were just ordinary merchant ships.

There are farmlands, villages, towns and other scenery to see on both sides of the river and lake navigation, and it is not as dry as sailing on the sea.

"In the past, this was the busiest waterway in the lake, and the passing boats stretched for ten miles, but now there are few boats in the White Lotus Sect. Lao Hu, who was standing behind him, had a very solemn face.

Chang Wei comforted: "Don't be afraid, as long as we rush to the second island, we can eradicate the White Lotus thief." ”

Lao Hu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Big official, I'm not afraid, I'm worried." You see, our ships are the most eye-catching in this waterway, and it won't be good if they are targeted by the White Lotus Thief. (To be continued.) )
