After the immortal disappeared

"Yes."

"With so many ships, it's hard for us to search for the main ship." Unlike riding horses and carriages on the shore, as long as Bai Ziqi doesn't go on the deck and doesn't show up, who knows which ship he's on?

He Lingchuan gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Peng is very careful. This worry is justified."

Then he said: "The river is not wide, and the river boats are narrow and shallow in draft. In this season, each boat can only carry a maximum of 10,000 kilograms. If we include the baggage, such as utensils, sundries, food, etc., each boat can carry two, Thirty people are more suitable.”

"Then the fleet is more than ten ships?"

"The main ship Bai Ziqi rides should be larger and more comfortable than ordinary river boats, easy to identify, and will most likely be protected by the fleet." He came up with a "but", "If he also rides an ordinary river boat, from the appearance If it is difficult to identify, besides looking for it in the middle of the fleet, you can also pay attention to which ship is particularly bumpy. "

"Bumps, why?"

"They took a passenger ship instead of a cargo ship. The one Bai Ziqi took had the smallest number of people. Even if there were ballast stones, the hull would be bumpy." He Lingchuan continued, "Bai Ziqi likes to take boats, and he doesn't stick to trivial matters. Most of them don't It would be a waste of magic to stabilize the ship."

He used to travel with Bai Ziqi and had some understanding of his style. Considering his status as Du Yunshi, Bai Ziqi can be considered very casual and simple.

It's not that he doesn't like to enjoy it, it's that he doesn't care at all.

Peng Mao and the other two people did not ask why there were the smallest number of people. The higher the status, the greater the private space one occupies.

But Maogong asked one more question: "Is it possible that he would choose the land route instead of taking the water route?"

"Yes, but it's very small. The waterway is safe, comfortable and convenient, and it's the first choice for business trips." He Lingchuan still had one sentence left unsaid. Bai Ziqi was probably heading towards him on her way back, so how could she choose a long way?

He said sternly: "Bai Ziqi is cautious and suspicious. He may even show weakness in the early stage and set up false appearances to lure you into action..."

Maogong interrupted him: "Do you think he was just pretending when we chased him around and killed two of his men?"

His expression was a little unhappy.

Does the person named He think they are weak?

Peng Yukui waved his hand: "He Island Master just said that this possibility cannot be ruled out."

He Lingchuan continued to be sincere: "Brother Mao, please calm down. I just think that Bai Ziqi is difficult to deal with. Please think twice before taking action!"

"Thank you very much, Island Master." Peng Yukui also knew that he could not leave Tianshui City, so he stood up and clasped his fists as a gift, "Without further delay, we will set off now."

"Wait a minute." He Lingchuan stood up and gave two instructions to Wan Qifeng, who immediately ran out and brought back a skinny man after a while.

"I'll find you a guide. Before he joined the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, he has been running a single gang on this route and is very familiar with the road conditions. But he can only take you to the Zhu County Pier. He will also help with the rest. Not too busy.”

The host had such a thoughtful idea, so Peng Yukui naturally thanked him repeatedly.

He Lingchuan sent them out of the villa and waved goodbye until the dust on their horses could no longer be seen. Then he turned around with his hands behind his back and walked slowly back to the study.

The soul-capturing mirror chuckled and said: "You have repeatedly told them to be careful and be careful. What do you think is the chance that they will not be careful?"

"Not big." He Lingchuan was very rational. "Others will do whatever I say. If I ask for a beating, they will stand at attention. The emperor's golden words are not as good as mine. Hehe, if I can achieve this effect with just one mouth, I still need to use my mouth. Flash gold laborious layout? "

How do ordinary people usually respond to the advice of others?

Let it go like a P.

What's more, the pride of Lingshan people comes from their bones, just like Tiangong. He Lingchuan has been dealing with it for several years and is deeply touched by it.

"Lingshan should have placed other internal agents in Yao Kingdom, but they were not in a position to obtain Bai Ziqi's information, so Peng Yukui came to me directly." He Lingchuan shook his head, "It seems that they are very confident in their own methods."

The mirror asked him: "What do you think is the chance of Peng Yukui succeeding?"

"It's hard to predict. Do you still remember that Bai Ziqi came to me specifically before leaving, saying that he was going to Xiaotaoshan Villa to investigate the case? On that trip, he not only verbally tested and threatened me, but also revealed his whereabouts. Maybe he wanted to trick me into taking action. . There are only one or two suitable ambush points on the way from Tianshui City to Mangzhou, do you think Bai Ziqi knows about it?"

"Uh." The mirror froze, but in an instant he burst out laughing, "Bai Ziqi didn't catch you, but caught the people in Lingshan. He didn't even think of it."

"So Bai Ziqi has probably made some preparations, but he is targeting me, and his arrangements are also aimed at me. Now Lingshan is coming. If he can catch him by surprise, he may not have a chance of winning -" He Lingchuan narrowed his eyes. Narrowing his eyes, "Bai Ziqi thought he had the initiative, ha!"

Let Lingshan play with him.

"Let's talk about the people in Lingshan. They don't trust me at all. Not only do they have reservations, but they probably only tell half a dozen percent of the truth."

"True? You mean the discussion yesterday?"

"Yes. The clues he gave to Master Qianhuan yesterday should be true, and they were also further instructions given by Lingshan through his mouth." He Lingchuan knew something in his heart, "Besides, hey, Lingshan doesn't want me to know too much." So, I can’t make an assessment until their true strength is revealed.”

However, Lingshan sent a team to find Bai Ziqi's bad luck for him, and he was naturally happy to see the result.

"The day of Emperor Liujiang's arrival is getting closer and closer." He Lingchuan glanced in the direction of Tianshui City, "Not only Qingyang, I also don't want my plan to go wrong."

At this time, Wanqi Feng came and greeted him: "My lord."

When He Lingchuan saw him, he remembered that he had originally wanted to find Wanqi Feng, but he almost forgot about it after talking with Peng Yukui.

Wanqi Feng had been waiting outside.

"Come, let's talk in the study."

The two entered the study, and He Lingchuan picked up a letter from the table:

"A letter from the Julu Port Branch. This time, four ships came from Yangshan. On one of the ships, the Bailong people and the Shanjin people had a dispute. During the five and a half days of sailing, there were four conflicts, and almost people died. It was more fierce than the competition between Wanqi Liang and Wang Fubao. Ha, these guys are not very good at fighting, but they are brave and aggressive."

Haha, he didn't really blame them. Good soldiers have tempers, and good armies have wolfish nature. If they are usually as gentle as sheep, how can we expect them to change their temperaments on the battlefield and suddenly dare to charge, break through, and kill?

There are not many two-faced people like He Lingchuan in the world. And the army he wants to build must be like the Dafeng Army and the Black Armor Army, hiding their anger.

Like a volcano ready to erupt at any time.

Wanqi Feng straightened his back: "My lord, how many Shanjin people and Bailong people are there on this ship?"

"There are only more than 700 Shanjin people on this ship, and they were basically sent to Yangshan for training two months ago. There are about 200 Bailong soldiers. There are also 300 logistics personnel."

For such a long time, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce has been recruiting people in the Shanjin Plain. Talents from all walks of life are needed. Among them, those who have the potential to become good soldiers or have some command ability will be asked to sign an agreement by the Chamber of Commerce, and then sent back to the Yangshan Islands for systematic training and concentrated exercises.

In the early days, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce also secretly trained troops in the Shining Gold Plain, but the effect was mediocre and it was easy for interested people to spy on it, so it could only be carried out in the name of training guards. Anyway, it has made a lot of money, so it simply pulled all the selected good seedlings to the Yangshan Islands, worked hard to train them, and then transported them back to the Shining Gold Plain a few months later.

It can only be trained for a few months, and only the most basic military literacy can be cultivated. The rest will be discussed later.

He Lingchuan has experience in leading the Seymour Corps in the Panlong World, and Yangshan’s own army has long been formed. It has its own relatively mature assembly line method, which uses the old to lead the new and the old to train the old, and achieves twice the result with half the effort.

He Lingchuan also added: "Some of the Shining Gold people who made trouble on the ship were also the teeth of the mountain boss in the Shining Gold Plain."

The bandit leaders in the mountains always have one or two, two or three particularly capable and fierce thugs under their command to deter the remaining party for them. This is called a tooth general in the western part of Shining Gold, which is like the canine teeth of the wolf king.

It must be said that the population base of the Shanjin Plain is really huge. Yangshan is so picky that he can't send all the people to the archipelago.

But this way, there will be friction between the Shanjin people and Yangshan's original army. There are many murderers and robbers among the Shanjin people sent to the Yangshan Archipelago. They changed their ways to work because their previous jobs had no future. After arriving at the archipelago, some people inevitably regained their bad habits, such as bravery, fighting, stealing, and robbing. Fortunately, the island is a natural barrier. Qiu Hu confined them on the island and trained them hard, calling it "unpolished jade cannot be made into a tool."

Wanqi Feng understood: "It seems that they have recognized the new king. This ship was not arranged well, and their small gang was not broken up."

Although these thugs are warlike, they must obey the leadership and organization to exert their combat effectiveness.

"I will ask about it." He Lingchuan smiled, "Do you know who led the Bailong people who had a dispute with the other party on the ship?"

When Wanqi Feng heard this, he had an ominous premonition: "My lord, please speak."

"It was your uncle."

"..." Wanqi Feng was stunned, and then embarrassed, "So the uncle took this ship?"

It takes two hands to clap, no wonder.

Back then, Wanqi Song led hundreds of Bailong people to wander to Blade Port, trying to seize the Yangshan Islands as a foothold, but was hit head-on by He Lingchuan. His nephew Wanqi Feng led the tribe to surrender, and he was thrown to a distant island to mine, and was monitored by Yin Hu, and he mined for several years.

The mine has been reported several times. Wanqi Song works very hard and never causes trouble. He usually comes and goes alone. Only when the children of the Bailong tribe visit him will he smile.

Wanqi Song doesn't eat or sleep with others, and he always ranks first in mining output. The second, third, fourth, and fifth place combined are not as good as him.

Although He Lingchuan is busy with many things, he has always remembered this person for three years.
