After the immortal disappeared

Taking a boat down the Baili River can save three days of travel.

"The dog named Xue doesn't go to Yanmu Cliff or Taoshui River. Is he wary?" The brothers didn't know that something had happened to Zuo Zaifu, but they instinctively felt that something was wrong.

They endured heavy rain all day and night in Yanmuya, eating dry food and drinking cold wind. As a result, Xue Zongwu did not go to Yanmuya at all, and would rather take a long detour than take risks in the canyon.

This thief is indeed a bitch.

When the Weng brothers traced Xue Zongwu's team again, they thought they would stop at Taoshui. After all, Taoshui is the most prosperous within a radius of fifty miles, with food, entertainment, and hospitality. Why wouldn't it be better than spending the night in a rural town?

The Weng brothers had also been to Taoshui, and they speculated that Xue Zongwu would probably spend the night here, so they hurried slowly and hurriedly until the horse's legs almost broke. Finally, they arrived at Taoshui before Xue Zongwu and started to arrange it!

For three days, they were on the road, and the horses were changed several times, and they never slept at all!

Fortunately, they have cultivated themselves to be in good health, otherwise not many of them would be able to hold on.

Weng Su knew several farmers in Taoshui and often delivered poultry and fruits to Feng's kitchen. He planned to use this relationship to sneak into the Feng family and take the opportunity to attack Xue Zongwu!

How could I have known...how could I have known that Xue Zongwu had already found a good relationship, and yet Xue Zongwu crossed the Tao River without entering!

I didn’t find out until the next day again!

Wengsu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Weng Xing asked: "Brother, do we still want to do it on the boat?"

"Yes. There are so many people rushing to cross, there are not enough boats, and there are not enough boatmen. We will go to his boat to work as boatmen in an open and honest manner." Weng Su sneered, "Thief Xue Gou thinks that a mere natural moat can stop us? How naive! I'm here You can fight through wind and waves and catch fish in the sea, you can do it on land and in water!”

The brothers have been to the sea and run single gangs before, and they know that as long as the water quality is good, rivers, lakes and seas are the best places to escape. They killed people, jumped into the water and disappeared without a trace.

Thinking that they could do it, the Weng brothers adapted themselves, put on 50% new bamboo cloth clothes, and rushed to the Longkou Ferry Shipping Department.

Just as Weng Su expected, the Transportation Department also did not expect that so many powerful people would suddenly gather at Longkou Ferry, and they could not afford to offend them. At this time, there was a shortage of ships and skilled workers. The two new tough men said that they were experienced old shipwrights who could row and carry. The head of the recruitment department of the Shipping Department took them in without thinking too much. , pointing to the nearest ship channel:

"You guys get on this boat!"

The ship was also loading, and Weng Xing saw a large number of boxes with seals and the word "tribute" written on them.

Some of the boxes were so big and heavy that they had to be lifted by four or five men to get on board. There were two supervisors shouting from the side: "Be careful, if the tribute gift falls into the water, you won't be able to afford the compensation with ten lives!"

Weng Xing secretly sighed in his heart, wondering where this people's fat and anointing came from, and he wanted to donate it to Tianshui City.

It's really a drought that kills people, and a flood that causes waterlogging.

The supervisor added: "I have been told by my superiors that those three boxes contain fragile items, so handle them with care and don't put them at the bottom."

Weng Xing was on his way out, and Weng Su immediately pulled away from the head recruiter and handed him a few coins before he turned against him: "Which company has the highest official rank here?"

The foreman pointed towards the ferry: "It looks like General Xue, the one with the indigo sea beast carved on the bow."

The ferry's transportation capacity is tight, and it's time to determine seniority again. Xue Zongwu's power will certainly have priority.

"Also, this boat next to us is said to be the palace's special envoy." This is the one with a particularly large and heavy box.

Weng Su took out some more broken silver and waved it in front of the foreman: "I heard that the reward given by the noble man is large. Could you please arrange for us to go to General Xue's ship?"

How difficult is this? It’s easy. The big stupid guy also had some tricks up his sleeve, and the recruiting foreman was already used to it. He took the money, waved his hand, and asked someone to take them over to carry the big stuff.

The two of them carried a fat pig onto the boat, one behind the other. All they saw along the way were indeed guards in light armor and armed with weapons. Any idlers who come near will be expelled immediately.

I don't know whose slave accidentally dropped two copper coins into the gap of the wooden trestle. He quickly bent down to pick it up, ignoring the guards' scolding.

Xue Wei flew up and kicked him into the water.

However, the Weng brothers crossed the trestle and boarded the boat. They only came to question and check, and then waved them off.

In addition to the 200 elite soldiers that Xue Zongwu took, the ship was also equipped with fifty or sixty handymen - there had to be someone to control the ship, cook the food, carry the cargo, and serve the distinguished guests.

It was this handyman post that the Weng brothers applied for.

The two of them got through easily and put the fat pig into the cargo hold. Weng Xing gave his brother a thumbs up:

"It's indeed his ship. We're on the right ship. Brother, you're really awesome."

Wengsu raised his head and smiled confidently: "Let's go and move other goods quickly."

Don't make the guards suspicious.

The two of them got off the boat and moved four or five times in a row, which was beyond their capabilities.

The last trip was to carry several large wine jars onto the ship. Weng Xing smelled the aroma of wine coming out of the lid and couldn't help but swallowed: "Brother, have you seen that person?"

"That man" refers to Xue Zongwu.

"Not yet, but he's probably already on board. I just saw his bodyguard."

After the supplies were moved, the big ship set sail.

The two brothers climbed onto the deck and looked back. The huge Longkou Ferry became smaller and smaller in their field of vision, and soon disappeared into the mist.

"The ship will take three days, there's no rush." ​​Weng Su patted his brother on the shoulder, "Let's recharge our batteries first and then take action tomorrow night."

In total, they had not slept or eaten well for five days and five nights. Assassinating Xue Zongwu is definitely a difficult technical job. They must cultivate enough strength before they can devote themselves with the fullest enthusiasm and energy.

In order not to arouse suspicion, they followed the instructions of the foreman and completed seven or eight physical tasks one after another, and were praised a lot.

It was also dark, and the river was pitch black.

The two of them were exhausted and hungry, but one delicious dish after another came out of the kitchen. It was for the nobles and guards. There was no share for the boatmen. They could only look at it, smell it, and swallow wildly.

"Shall we steal something to eat at night?" Weng Xing could no longer remember how he had gone from doing justice for heaven to stealing food from his enemy's ship.

But those dishes are so delicious, even if you can only eat a few lard residues!

Wengsu stopped him: "Be firm! Remember our goal and don't create extraneous problems."

After finally getting off work, the two ate some salty steamed buns mixed with hot water, lay down in the bottom cabin with other handymen, and fell asleep.

At this time, He Lingchuan and Dong Rui were on the boat behind them, about two hundred feet away from the Weng brothers.
