Chapter 1367

After passing the Tianjin guard, the fleet went a lot smoothly.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Jinling."

"What are you doing?"

"It's urgent to ask for goods in Jinling market!"

"Oh, I see. Go."

Every ship that follows will be questioned, and those suspected will be boarded for inspection.

Such scenes occur almost every day. With more and more ships on the canal, Fang Xing simply ordered to pay attention to the suspected ships and leave the rest alone.

So I looked at all the boats competing for the current, but I couldn't see the fish flying at the bottom.

The days on the boat were boring. After Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji played a game of go, they both felt dull.

"It is estimated that the news will be faster than us. When we go ashore, the whole South will be frightened. How to break the situation is a difficult problem..."

"At present, we can only see the ability of East Hall and royal guards there. Your majesty said that they have a list on hand. We should think about how to use this list to pry open the iron curtain of Southern officialdom and fight together."

Fang Xing was awe inspiring and worried about the country and the people, but he was wondering whether he could kill some of the most determined corrupt officials against science.

But Zhu Zhanji was somewhat absent-minded.

"Corruption in the south is nothing new. Just follow the vine and touch the melon. I just see what grandpa Huang means. I probably don't want to take me to the Northern Expedition..."

"You're really not fit to go."

Fang Xing analyzed and said, "if you go to the Northern Expedition again, you may be a king of Qin. Why bother?"

After Zhu gaochi ascends the throne, if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, who will take command?

Zhu Zhanji has visited the battle field many times. Of course, he is the only candidate.

But those who are familiar with history books still remember the Li Er. His military achievements directly changed the pattern in the early Tang Dynasty. Finally, his father Li Yuan became a prisoner.

Zhu Zhanji went to the deck a little depressed. Fang woke up and lay alone, falling asleep with the shaking of the boat.

There is an endless stream of ships outside. When they see the fleet, they will lean to the side carefully.

"Is that the grain carrier?"

Two big ships came from afar. Dozens of sacks were stacked on the deck. It seemed that there was no room for the cargo warehouse.

Xin Laoqi put down his telescope and said, "well, it's a grain boat."

The two ships drew closer, but they didn't pull over.

There was a man standing in the bow of the boat, standing in the arched hand from a distance, smiling all over his face.

"Gentlemen, the ship is too heavy. It will capsize if it swerves suddenly. I'm offended."

Fang Xing, this fleet is all official ships, which is easy to identify.

Xin Laoqi and his servants stared at the two ships and waited for them to cross before they relaxed. In the cabin, the scouts are ready to rush out at any time.

……

At night, the fleet began to slow down because of reduced visibility.

Fang woke up and slept for two hours during the day. At this time, he was mentally looking for something to do.

There was a servant in the bow, and Liu Guan was there, and seemed to be talking to Xin Laoqi.

"... I once took charge of wood mining. Those trees are so big that several people can't hold them..."

Seeing Fang wake up, Liu Guan said with a smile, "nothing happened at night. I'm talking about juvenile mania, which makes Xinghe Bo laugh."

However, officials above the rank of Chamberlain seldom boast with others outside, let alone talk about their previous experience. That's a big taboo. Who knows if they will leak out and tell their private affairs.

Several lanterns were hung on the boat. It felt lonely on the canal.

Fang Xing didn't mind, so he and Liu Guan also talked about their interesting stories during the expedition, and they became familiar at once.

After chatting for half an hour, Liu Guan yawned and got up to go to bed.

"Sir, it's foggy."

Xin Laoqi has been dressed all over, and the servants are ready.

Fang Xing had only one knife. When he saw Sun Yue coming out with Zhu Zhanji, he said, "are you sure there's a problem with the grain boat during the day?"

"Yes."

Fang Wu said, "Sir, the waterline is wrong. This is what the boatman said. And the man smiled a little far fetched. He didn't expect our people to stare at his every move with binoculars in the cabin."

"Be careful of the ship behind. The other party is likely to move them first, and then take advantage of our chaos to attack the ship."

The opponent is still unknown, but at this time, many forces want to wake up Fang Xiaosheng, and even Zhu Zhanji may be on the blacklist.

"It's too tired to walk by land. It's risky to walk by water. Then play a dozen and see who's doing it."

Zhu Zhanji was calm and even eager to try.

"Set sail and stop in a quarter of an hour."

Fang Xing ordered that there were risks in sailing at night, and the speed could not get up.

There were two groups of boatmans on board, who came in turn. With Fang Xing's order, the fleet began to move slowly.

This is a temptation. If there are enemies, they must follow immediately.

"It's foggy!"

Sun Yue looked at the mist rising on the water and couldn't help feeling a little upset.

The fog looks beautiful, but it is an accomplice of the enemy.

The fog is getting bigger and the visibility is decreasing sharply.

"Go back!"

So there was no one above the deck.

The last ship was loaded with supplies and was guarded by twenty scouts.

As soon as the fog was heavy, the small flag officer called the boatman and let him feel it carefully.

"Let me know if anything happens."

The boatman nodded, then closed his eyes and felt the slight shaking of the boat.

Once someone climbs, the shaking of the hull will increase.

Twenty scouts waited quietly

I don't know how long later, the boatman suddenly opened his eyes, and the scouts also synchronized.

The boat was shaking. The boatman pointed to the port side. The flag officer nodded and waved back.

In the fog, you can only see the distance of five or six steps with the help of lanterns, but that's enough.

More than a dozen people with short blades in their mouths and red fruits on their bodies boarded the ship.

A slight gasp came to the cabin, but the scouts still didn't move.

Compared with those enemy scouts on the grassland, the tactics of these enemies are too old-fashioned.

Wheezing gradually subsided, and the leading man was red with cold. He listened carefully to the movement in the cabin.

For a long time, the man walked barefoot and carefully into the cabin. The people behind him moved together, and suddenly the ship began to shake slightly.

Such shaking can naturally be felt by experienced boatman.

So the man suddenly shouted, "do it!"

"Crossbow..."

……

The roar behind the fleet startled the others, and suddenly several ships lit their lights. Then the scouts ran to the stern and looked around for the trace of the enemy.

Only the leading ship did not move.

"Crossbow..."

"Ah!"

Screams came from behind, but the ship remained the same.

"Wow!"

In the unbridled sound of the water, a small boat quickly leaned over.

There were five men standing on the ship. Their bodies were shaking, and two people were stabilizing their bodies behind everyone.

When the boatman approached, he stretched out a bamboo pole to support the side of the ship and made a strange noise.

At the same time, someone of the five men drank, then opened his bow and arrow, and shot arrows at the porthole in the dim light.
