Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 31: Taking advantage of the situation and robbing food and grass at night (please collect and read)

In the Red Mansion, there are several beings that cannot be bypassed.

One is the vigilant fairy, and the other two are the lame Taoist and the scabby monk.

They have unpredictable abilities that allow many characters in the Red Mansion to turn danger into disaster.

Of course, some people's deaths were related to them. For example, Jia Rui died because he saw the front of Fengyue Baojian.

And this Fengyue Baojian seems to come from the Empty Spirit Hall in the Illusionary Realm of Taixu. It is made by the Fairy Jinghuan.

And the lame Taoist said this to Jia Rui, "The reason why he was brought into the world was only to be taken care of by those smart and handsome, elegant princes and grandchildren. You must not look at the front, only look at his back. It's important, it's important!"

In the end, Jia Rui failed to resist the temptation and looked at the front of Fengyue Baojian, but what was reflected on the front was a skeleton, and he died.

To this day, Su Ran really doesn't know whether these otherworldly existences are true or false.

However, when Su Ran heard the words "lame Taoist" from He Mei'er's mouth, Su Ran's heart suddenly tightened.

I can have the ability to become stronger by killing people, so why can't the vigilante fairy and those two people exist?
For the first time, Su Ran felt the crisis of survival.

Once you encounter such a being, can you escape unscathed?

Also, it is unclear whether they are enemies or friends.

However, He Meier only said that the lame Taoist Shenlong could not see the end, and did not know the specific place to stay. Since he passed on this charm a few years ago, he never came to him again.

At this moment, Su Ran suddenly felt that it seemed inappropriate to leave He Meier here to monitor the Zhen family.

First of all, if the Zhen family finds out that she has taken refuge with them, He Meier will be in danger.

In addition, she possesses charm skills and is related to the lame Taoist. Although he has temporarily obtained a declaration of allegiance from her, if the lame Taoist is in a hostile camp with her, then where should He Meier go?

However, the top priority is to rush to Jilingdu with the token. This matter can only be discussed in the long term after the food and fodder matter is settled.

After leaving He Meier's residence, Su Ran hurried all the way to the river.

According to the specific location given by He Meier, she found the fishing tent she mentioned on the riverside.

There are about [-] or [-] fishing tents here, all of which are rather dilapidated, and it seems that no one has lived there for a long time.

Not long after Su Ran took out the half piece of sandalwood sign and exchanged words with the other party, the other party immediately whistled sharply towards the river.

The next moment, more than a dozen fishing boats that were originally fishing on the river gathered from a short distance away and docked at the riverside.

Su Ran rode these fishing boats down the river and arrived at the ferry that He Meier mentioned when it was almost dark.

After briefly chatting with these people, Su Ran also found out the details of each other.

These people look like they are all fishermen on the river, but their true identity is that they are members of the Caogang.

However, they did not know where the food and grass they wanted to rob would be transported, and they just said that they would follow the leader's arrangements.

And this leader is Su Ran who is connecting with them.

After understanding this, Su Ran couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the Zhen family's strength.

You know, the Caobang is the overlord of the water in the Jiangnan area, and water transportation is basically controlled by the Caobang.

But even such a being actually wants to do things for the Zhen family.

This shows how amazing the Jinling Zhen family's power is in the Jiangnan area.

This night, there were no stars or moon, and there was only a gentle breeze on the river.Su Ran waited at Ji Lingdu for more than two hours before he saw a long dragon dotted with flames coming down the river.

He knew that this should be the food and grass raised by the Ministry of Revenue in Jiangnan.

Seeing this, Su Ran rushed to Han Jin, who was in charge of the task this time, and said, "The goods are here, let's go up and pick them up."

"Haha, okay." Han Jinchuang smiled and slowly pulled out the long knife from his waist, "Brothers, let's go pick up the goods."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ran noticed that the boat under his feet was moving, heading towards the fire not far away like an arrow from the string.

After getting close to the boats escorting food and grass, Su Ran found that these boats were really big, like giant beasts swimming on the river in the dark.

If the flower boats I saw in the middle of the river were grandsons, these boats in front of me are grandpas.

When they approached the grain ship, Han Jinchuang's men swung the hooks they had prepared on the ship and began to climb up the ship along the hemp rope. The speed was almost the same as that of monkeys who had lived in the forest for a long time.

Seeing this, Su Ran pulled onions from a dry land and jumped directly onto the deck of the lead ship.

"Good kung fu!" Han Jinchuang couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration at this skill.

Su Ran smiled without comment and said to Han Jinchuang: "Ask the brothers to work. If you can't help it, we won't kill it. We are just trying to make a living. It's really not okay to leave the boat to them." Then throw it into the river. If there is an official from the Ministry of Revenue on the boat, he should be brought to see me."

"Okay, just wait here for a while, and someone will bring it to you right away." After saying that, Han Jinchuang left the scene with a long knife.

Bathing in the gentle river breeze, Su Ran suddenly thought of a question.

If he hadn't come out like this and killed all the people in the Caobang, would it be possible for the food and grass to be delivered to Gao Xingyuan smoothly?

Doing this can indeed complete the mission to the south of the Yangtze River. However, the Zhen family will definitely notice that something is wrong immediately. If a second wave of people is sent to rob the grain ship, or there are other back-ups, then the previous Your efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, this is the safest thing to do.

Because this is the only way, by the time the Caobang people go back to resume their duties, the food and grass will have been delivered to the Qing army on the front line.

At that time, even if the Zhen family realizes that they have been deceived, they can only slap their thighs.

However, now there is a problem.

Is this person sent by the Ministry of Revenue to escort grain and grass reliable?Feng Bingyuan controls the household department, will he interfere?

Once that happens, it becomes unknown whether the food and grass can be delivered to Gao Yingyuan.

Just as Su Ran was thinking about this, Han Jinchuang's voice came over.

"Master Tobe, I brought it to you."

Su Ran looked up and saw Han Jinchuang coming towards him holding a torch in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand. Walking in front of him was an official in official uniform.

This official's face was thin, and his temples were slightly stained with frost. However, when faced with the grain ship being robbed, there was not much panic in his eyes.

Seeing this, Su Ran said to Han Jinchuang: "Go down and watch the brothers. I'll have a chat with him."

When Han Jinchuang heard this, he didn't say much. He handed the torch to Su Ran, then nodded and walked towards the stern of the ship.

After he jumped onto the next grain ship, Su Ran looked at the official from the Ministry of Revenue and said, "Do you recognize me?"

When the official heard this, he couldn't help but look suspicious. He looked at Su Ran carefully for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I don't know you."
