Horse on the World

Chapter 956: Andy the warrior guards the Quartet ([-])
Dozens of expert divers from the Overwatch Council, together with some navy officers and soldiers left behind, hundreds of people dived within a radius of hundreds of meters above and below the sunken battleship, and a breathing head would pop up on the surface of the water from time to time. .

Qingfeng sat on a blanket, looking at an officer who had just rushed over beside him.

"Are you from the Marine Corps?" Qingfeng asked.

"Go back to President, the end will be the first battalion of the Marine Corps."

"After the battleship sank, how did General Zheng Zhiqiang deal with it?"

"General Zheng Zhiqiang immediately ordered a search within [-] miles to see if there were any traces of the enemy, but after searching for a whole day, we found nothing, because the military order ordered us to rush to Pingzhou on time to launch an attack on Yunchi Port, so General Zheng will After the next search task was handed over to the local garrison, they led the team to set off!"

Qingfeng nodded, without further words, sitting calmly on the felt, watching the soldiers on the river lurking and appearing from time to time, Yuan Fang specially appeared in Bozhou, it is impossible to attack a warship and expend so much energy , Paying the price of dozens of lives, there is only one thing worth doing, and that is the Shenwei cannon on the battleship.

What Qingfeng couldn't figure out was that the Shenwei cannon weighed several thousand catties, how could Yuan Fang take him away from the battleship?

"Found the sunken ship!" A soldier on the river waved his hands excitedly, "I found the stern!" Immediately, a dozen or so experts from the Overwatch Council dived down from that place.

After a while, at a distance of tens of meters from the stern, he touched the bow of the ship again.

"Look around, is the Shenwei Cannon still there?" Qingfeng whispered, "The Shenwei Cannon weighs several thousand catties. Since the bow and stern of the ship are found, the Shenwei Cannon will not leave this area."

"Yes!" Xia Xue responded, walked to the river, and conveyed Qingfeng's order.

An hour later, the Shenwei cannon at the stern was found, it was still fixed on the gun mount at the stern of the battleship, and sank into the bottom of the river together with the stern, but the Shenwei cannon at the bow was gone, leaving only one gun mount.

Hundreds of soldiers worked in the river for another half an hour, but still found nothing.

"Don't look for it, let them all get up! Another Shenwei cannon has been taken away!" Qingfeng said.

The face of the officer of the Marine Corps changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "This is impossible. After the incident happened that night, the enemy was discovered after only fleeing for a few miles. In such a short time, it is impossible for them to destroy the Shenwei cannon. It was taken from the boat, this is not something you can run with! It must still be sinking at the bottom of the river."

Qingfeng stared at him, "I'm not here anymore."

The navy officer opened his mouth to refute, but when he saw Qingfeng's face sinking like water, the words reached his throat, and he swallowed them vigorously, his face flushed from holding back, and his face was full of dissatisfaction.

"You searched for a day and then withdrew, and the sunken boat was not salvaged, and there was no manned guard here. It took us two days to get here!" Qingfeng said coldly: "Two days, Enough for the enemy to do a lot."

"However, the Shenwei cannon weighs several thousand catties. Even if it takes two days, how can the opponent fish him out of the river?" The officer still couldn't help but retorted.

Qingfeng sneered and said: "As long as you want to do it, there must be a way. Since Yuan Fang planned this, he must have come up with a perfect way. Come on!"

Han Yong came over, "Miss, what are your orders?"

"With this place as the center, within 1000 meters, let me search inch by inch. If Yuan Fang wants to get the Shenwei cannon out of the river, it is impossible not to leave traces on the bank. Including the other bank, let me search carefully."

"Yes!"

The special agents of the Overwatch Council of the brigade immediately got busy, Qingfeng sat back on the felt again, and Qiuping walked over, "Miss, it may take a long time, why don't you go back to the carriage and take a rest first?"

Qingfeng shook his head, "No, I'm just watching here, and I'm also very curious, how did Yuan Fang get something weighing several thousand catties out of the river and drag it away."

Qiuping backed away without a word, and after a while, she came over with a pot of hot tea and poured a cup for Qingfeng.

Slowly sipping tea, Qingfeng said: "Xia Xue, inform the local garrison to send additional manpower, starting from Savage Beach, extending a hundred miles towards Pingzhou, search carefully for me, and don't let any suspicious person go, Especially cars, boats and other things need to be inspected carefully, let the branch of the Overwatch Council in Bazhou assist in this matter, even on the Lai River, our own boats also need to be inspected."

"Yes!"

There was a cheer in the distance, and Qingfeng suddenly raised his head. "I found it, I found it!" Someone shouted, and then someone waved a shovel and dug it vigorously. After a cup of tea, the soldiers dragged something tens of meters to Qingfeng, and threw it on the ground. Something like a sheepskin pocket.

Han Yong said in a low voice: "Miss, as you expected, these bags are all made of sheepskin and inflated, a dozen of these bags can carry several people across the river, and over there, there are still buried There are dozens of big logs. Obviously, after Yuan Fang inflated these sheepskin bags, he dragged them into the water and tied them to the Shenwei cannon. With the addition of those logs to increase the buoyancy, and then tied the ropes, he could move them without much strength. The Shenwei Cannon was dragged up from the river."

Qingfeng looked at these sheepskin pockets, with a fluctuating expression on his face, "Han Yong, fill these pockets with air, and add those crossbars, go and try to see if you can pull up the Shenwei cannon at the stern."

"Yes!" Han Yong dragged dozens of sheepskin pockets aside, and the special agents formed a circle, puffing up their cheeks and blowing in, until the sheepskin pockets were all swollen.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of soldiers tied heavy objects to these bags, and as the soldiers sank to the bottom of the water, they tied these sheepskin bags to the barrel of the Shenwei cannon, and then tied the big logs in a haphazard manner, and the Shenwei cannon It has been slightly separated from the bottom of the river.After tying the rope, only a dozen soldiers were used on the shore. With a shout and pulling the rope, the Shenwei cannon trembled and slowly rose upwards.

After a meal, the Shenwei cannon that had sunk into the bottom of the river was placed in front of Qingfeng. Looking at the Shenwei cannon that was still dripping, sweat dripped down the face of the naval officer.

Qingfeng glanced at him, "What are you still doing here? Go back and tell Zheng Zhiqiang, because his negligence is likely to cause great losses to the Dingzhou Army."

"They brought the cannon ashore, but how did they get it away?" Han Yong was still a little puzzled.

"It was towed away by a car." Han Renjie said from the side. "If you take people to search carefully, the Shenwei cannon is so heavy, and the rut marks will be very deep. Even if they cover up these marks all the way, they can't completely cover up the marks, even if they just fill them with soil, the newly filled The soil is different from the previous soil, and it can be distinguished completely.”

"After finding these traces, we found the direction of their escape. With such a heavy cannon, they couldn't go very far. They probably found a place to hide and tried to get the cannon away after the limelight passed." Qingfeng said, "Search carefully, check for me inch by inch."

Han Yong immediately led the special agents of the Overwatch Council to get busy. A large group of people bowed their waists, and some even lay down on the ground, carefully searching for clues.

Qingfeng's brows twisted into a "Chuan", and Han Renjie said from the side: "You don't have to worry too much, don't say that they are unlikely to get rid of this cannon, even if they get rid of it, so what? They can imitate it in Luoyang, and we in Dingzhou have worked hard for this thing for many years, and the gold and silver invested are countless."

Qingfeng shook his head, "I'm not thinking about the Shenwei cannon. If you lose the cannon, you lose it. It's no big deal. As you said, they can't imitate it in a short time. What I care about is Yuan Fang. This is a A good opportunity, grabbing Yuan Fang is what I want."

Han Renjie was stunned for a while, "Miss, it's not that I poured cold water on him. Yuan Fang is extremely alert and his martial arts are extremely strong. It's not that I underestimated myself. I really have no chance of winning against him. If Zhong Jing is still there, that's fine." ! Only Zhong Jing can firmly overwhelm him, but it's a pity that this girl Zhong Jing can't think about it for a while, and she abolishes her martial arts, what a pity!"

Qingfeng resolutely said: "There is no pity or pity. Jinger has her own ideas, and I have never blamed her! She is living a very good life now, very happy. In fact, I am quite envious of her."

Han Renjie was startled, and shut his mouth immediately. He didn't want to talk about this issue any more, and Qingfeng did the same. Both of them fell silent.

After a while, Han Renjie suddenly said: "Miss, there is a problem with the Li family, and Li Wen has been demoted. Guo Shanfeng has also been deprived of his military power!"

Qingfeng closed his eyes, and said after a while: "Jiyue didn't accomplish enough, but revealed more than she did. She even hid me from colluding with the elder of the Li family. I don't even think about what kind of person the general is. How can such a small trick deceive the general? Don't say any more , I don't want to meddle in her business anymore."

"But Mr. Anmin?"

Qingfeng let out a long sigh: "Anmin has his own place for Anmin. The general must have made up his mind at this time. The matter has come to this point. I'm afraid there is no room for redemption. Jiyue violated the general's taboo. I'm afraid Jiyue will do it again. If something stupid happens, it will be out of control.”

"Miss, do you want to warn Mrs. Jiyue so that Mrs. Jiyue can rest easy? In fact, Miss Jiyue doesn't have to be so impatient, the days are still long!"

Qingfeng was silent for a while, "I'm afraid she won't listen to my words at all now. Her dissatisfaction with me is deepening day by day."

Han Renjie lowered his head. This is a knot that cannot be untied.

"I found the trace!" In the distance, Han Yong jumped up from the ground, "Miss, I found it!" He cheered, and while directing the soldiers to follow the trace he found, the soldiers carefully swept away There is a layer of floating soil, and in front of the breeze, a clear and deep rut extends to the distance.
