Dart Master

Chapter 709 Storm Ferry
So this time chasing Elder Xu is not only a test of my trust in Sima Fang, Wu Yanglong's position is also crucial.

Down the river, at dawn, I had traveled more than a hundred miles. During the day, I hid the boat in the reeds to rest.

All my people on the river were searching the river. This was deliberately arranged by Bai Chaoyang. During the day, they searched closely, so that Boss Xu did not dare to escape blatantly, and at the same time slowed down his speed of rushing to Yangjialing.

It was getting dark, and I was walking slowly with the boatman. At this time, when the Jiangdong navy was changing shifts, the control on the river was slightly relaxed.

I told the boatman to slow down, and when I passed by the ferry, I carefully observed the surrounding ships.

This ferry is called Sanjiang Ferry. It is the intersection of the three rivers and the main road leading to the south of the Yangtze River.

However, because I had granted Wuyanglong a special license before, cargo ships and passenger ships in Yangjialing were allowed to pass through every day when they were off duty.

However, the navy in this section was originally under the command of Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng is a guy who obeys military discipline very much. Tolerance, material transportation, and other private ships, all who want to make a transition must go through strict checks.

Wu Yanglong once went to Wangcheng to complain to Bai Chaoyang many times because of this matter, Bai Chaoyang didn't have anything to do with Luo Cheng, he acted according to the rules, as for Wu Yanglong's private dispensation, it was a verbal statement without any diploma Luo Cheng doesn't believe the evidence at all, unless I personally speak.

It was only later that Luo Cheng was transferred by me to the Cai family to assist in the management of the Navy, and this place was managed by Jiangdong Navy Admiral Xue Muze himself, so the Wuyanglong Guishi Guild was able to take a breather.

But it was only limited to this time of shift change, the garrison turned a blind eye and let the ships go to Yangjialing.

To put it bluntly, we are in troubled times right now, and the naval army is strictly investigating, one is to secretly go to the Cai family in the south of the Yangtze River to cause trouble for those with ulterior motives and spies.Second, it is also afraid that someone will deliberately buy weapons from the ghost market.Third, Jiangdong's underground palace had not been destroyed at that time, and Jiangdong's army was always wary of the ghost market, especially Wuyanglong still had [-] elite guards in his hands.

"King Qin, it's time to let go." The kitten sat on the bow, gnawed on the fish bone, and pointed to the front.

I saw that most of them were small fishing boats in front of me, and I counted them carefully. There were twelve including me.

"Little cat, you wait here. I will inform Xue Muze. It would be great if I can stop Boss Xu here." Sanjiangdu is the main road leading from Jiangdong to Lingnan and Jiangnan. The navy here focuses on defense. There are military camps everywhere along the river, and there must be at least tens of thousands of sailors. If Boss Xu is stopped, even if he is a god, he will not escape.

I went ashore quietly, showed my warrant, and a sergeant quickly found Xue Muze for me.

"Welcome King Qin!" Xue Muze clasped his hands, he was a little surprised to see me coming, because I came to Jiangnan in secret, and I didn't even take my exclusive dragon boat.

"Immediately send a sergeant to stop all the small boats in front, and check for yourself to see if Sima Fang is there," I said.

Xue Muze didn't dare to be careless, and quickly ordered the sergeant to block the river, and detained all the boats, while I observed these people in the dark.

It's a pity that none of these people is Sima Fang, which means that Boss Xu is not in these boats at all.

"How could this be?" I frowned, inferring from the time the fisherman gave me, Boss Xu should cross the river at this time.

"Old Xue, go and check if there are any ships that have passed the customs within this hour?" I said.

Xue Muze thought for a while and said: "Most of the time the river is closed, and the ships that pass through the customs are strictly checked. I sat in this naval camp for a day, and there was no shadow of Sima Fang. Do you think that Sima Fang is the King of Qin?" Your deadly enemy, if I saw him, I would kill him on the spot."

"Did anyone cross the river within an hour?" I asked.

Xue Muze scratched his head, thought carefully, and said, "You asked me that, but I remembered that there is an elder named Huo in the ghost city union, who just sent food to our army."

"[-] dans of military rations, without even eating dinner, the fleet has already left Sanjiangdu."

Some time ago, there was a war with the Cai family. In order to transport supplies nearby, all the food and grass for the navy in this area were provided by the Guishi trade union. It was reasonable for them to come to transport the food and grass.

But it just so happens that the time is wrong, this Elder Huo probably received a secret letter from Boss Xu, and took Boss Xu away secretly in the name of transporting military rations.

"Old Xue, the navy is ready to seal the river at any time, so I'll take a step first." I told Xue Muze, I didn't have time to explain to him, so I quickly asked him to change a good boat for me, and chased towards Yangjialing.

The materials transported are all large cargo ships, and the speed is indeed not as good as the light warship I was on. Two hours later, it was already dark, and the lights on the cargo ship in the distance could be seen faintly. Far.

"King Qin, this place is already the territory of Wuyanglong. If we force it to stop, we will definitely not be able to." Kitty reminded me.

My eyes fell on a ferry on the shore. This is a temporary ferry. There is still a distance from Yangjialing here. Most merchants will choose to rest here, and then go on their way after drinking and eating.

At the beginning, I entrusted Yangjialing to Wuyanglong as another foothold of the ghost city. I also wanted to use the ghost city to develop the remote waters and barren mountains in this area. Obviously, the arrival of Wuyang Longghou City has indeed developed the waters in this area. come out.

If it weren't for the Jiangdong Army's martial law on the water, at this time, the ferry would already be buzzing with people, and there would be an endless stream of merchants everywhere in the restaurants and flower houses.

After the closure of the river, although it seemed a little deserted, judging from the rows of lights that were on, this place was still somewhat popular.

Sure enough, the boat stopped at the ferry. Boss Xu might not have to eat, but the boat was manned by soldiers. They were ordinary wrestlers who had to eat meat and drink to continue sailing.

"What's the name of this place?" I asked.

The kitten took out the map of the water area that Xue Muze gave and glanced at it, saying, "Storm crossing!"

"Fengbodu, the name is quite good, this is the place where Boss Xu was buried." I looked at the rolling river bank with a gloomy expression, and said coldly.

I leaned the boat against the reeds and grass, and quietly sneaked into the Fengbo Ferry from a remote place. Although the scale of the ferry is not very large, it is very rare to be able to find restaurants and flower houses in this remote water area.

The guards at the ferry are all guards from the ghost city trade union. After Wu Yanglong moved to Yangjialing, because of my secret support, he became the emperor of the land here, and he lived a happy life.

But I don't know whose idea it is to welcome Boss Xu to Yangjialing this time. If this Elder Huo acted privately, it's okay, but if Wu Yanglong instructed him, he would just go against me.

If he chooses to fight against me, he is undoubtedly a real idiot. Boss Xu's doomsday is approaching. He has wronged the emperor, and he has to welcome an old man back to confess. Isn't he asking for trouble.

On the contrary, if he relies on me, no one dares to provoke him, and he can still be the emperor of the land with peace of mind, happy and happy.

I believe that Wuyang Dragon will not be so stupid!

I entered Fengbodu, and there were still some merchants inside. The largest restaurant was Qingfeng Restaurant, and there were sergeants guarding the door. It must have been taken over by Elder Huo and others.

I decided to go in to find out the truth, at least I had to remember the face of Elder Xu, so as not to kill the wrong person when the time came.

However, the chances of making a move are not very good. Elder Huo is obviously a very cautious person, surrounded by elite soldiers. If I want to force my way in, it will definitely not work.

Just when I was in trouble, Sima Fang came out of the restaurant. He was very cautious, looked around a few times, and walked into the flower building.

I just followed Hualou, and he dragged me in from the hiding place. After confirming that it was me, he breathed a sigh of relief: "You still come, otherwise my plan will be in vain."

It turned out that Boss Xu originally had two ways to escape, one was the overland route to the north, to his trade union in the north of Youcheng, and tried to make a comeback with Tuoba Chong's influence.

The other is to go back to Yangjialing, take advantage of Wuyanglong's branch, and then look for opportunities to lie dormant and rise from the east.
