Peerless Pirates

During the chat between Lu Hong and Guo Yongyan, except for a few guards accompanying the inspection, the rest of the people on the Ji family cargo ship were chatting or sitting in the corner and dozing off (Infatuated Jianghu Tears txt download). Every time

Everyone was happy with the inspection every time, so everyone got used to it. They didn't notice that a tough-looking sergeant had returned to the warship from the cargo ship.

This sergeant was Hu Zi. After he left Lu Hong and came out of the cabin, he returned to the big warship opposite. Then, he got down to a small boat behind the big ship. The eight sergeants who were already on standby immediately jumped away.

Open your arms and paddle hard towards the south bank of the river.

After burning the incense, the boat docked. There was a white horse tied there. Huzi took off his military uniform and threw it on the boat. Then, he mounted the white horse and ran quickly to the west.

Huzi had been staying with Lu Hong for a month for this moment. Two days ago, he returned to Jiangning. After Song Zheng asked him in detail about his experience during this period, he explained the errands Huzi had to do.

Although Zi did not know the detailed plan, he never

With Song Zheng's solemn expression, he felt that this time must be a big event (read the full text of the restricted summons). Because of Song Zheng's expression, Huzi had seen it on Song Zheng's face when he accompanied him in the expedition to Dajin.

.This makes Huzi extremely excited!

Two days later today, the excited Huzi finally arrived at the Su family's cargo ship. When he boarded the ship for inspection, he could clearly see the nearly one hundred bags of salt with the word "military" painted on it. In fact, he was heading towards the land.

When Hong whispered the report, he was not talking about the private goods carried by Guo Yongyan, but confirmed that the shipment was military salt, and also listed the accurate amount. Now, he could not wait to fly to the warehouse of the trading house immediately to inform the Su family about the cargo ship.

.

When Lu Hong slowly got off the Su family's cargo ship, Huzi had already run nearly a hundred miles. The fine white horse was already foaming at the mouth, sweating profusely, and teetering on the verge of collapse.

Although Huzi was anxious, he had no choice. Seeing a pond next to the official road in front of him, Huzi ran down from his horse and strolled forward slowly. When the white horse saw the water, it seemed to be energized again and ran towards it desperately.

He rushed forward, but was strangled tightly by Lu Hong. He knew that the water was already very cold in this season. If the sweating white horse drank heavily now, something would definitely go wrong, and he might not even be able to escape Jiangcheng.

When they arrived at the pond, the white horse lowered his head and took a gulp of water. The tiger kept reining in the reins to prevent the white horse from drinking all at once.

After a cup of tea, the white horse was almost done drinking. The tiger let it nibble on the grass for a while, and then returned to the official road after it pooped.

At the end of the afternoon, Huzi arrived at the Chengxi Trading House warehouse. Xiaobei and Lu Chun were not in a hurry, but after asking Huzi in detail about the situation of the Su family's cargo ship, they immediately made calculations.

The most critical issues are the water speed and wind direction. During this period, Xiaobei and Lu Chun were not idle. Instead, they made a thorough study of the water speed of the Yangtze River, and combined with the current wind speed, calculated the arrival time of the Su family's cargo ship.

The exact time of the dock. This kind of problem is Xiaobei's strength.

After repeating the deduction twice, Xiaobei said, "The Ji family's cargo ship is going upstream. Although the water speed is not fast, the northwest wind direction is quite unfavorable to them. Calculating from this, they should arrive at Dayu Pier between one quarter and two quarters.

between.

Our ship sails downwards, with smooth winds and smooth water. It takes about half an hour from here to Dayuan Wharf. Our ship sets off after three quarters, and can arrive at the same time as the Su family's cargo ship (read the full text of Hell City).

"

Lu Chun frowned and said, "There should be no problem here. It's just that there are three docks on the Big Turtle side. I don't know where the Su family's cargo ship will dock."

"It should be Pier 1." Xiaobei drew around it with a pen, outlining the outline of the Big Turtle Pier, and pointed to the right side, "I have been to that place. There are three piers from east to west.

Ships like the Su family cargo ship should choose Pier 1, which is the most convenient. And it is most convenient for them to come up from the downstream and dock at Pier 1."

"Well, in this case, our ship will still dock inside Pier 1 as usual. Get ahead of the Su family's cargo ship and get there first."

Xiaobei nodded, "That's it. At that time, let the Su family's cargo ship dock outside the dock, and the two ships will unload the cargo at the same time, and we will have a chance."

Lu Chun checked the time again and felt that it was almost time, so he summoned Guan Chen and Cai Yong. After some instructions, they went out separately.

The ten bags of poisonous salt had been secretly moved out of the manor two days ago and placed alone in a warehouse of the trading house. Outside those salt bags, there was another layer of horse bags, which was no different from ordinary grain bags. However,

, but Cai Yong made a clear distinction. The tying ropes of these bags are relatively long, and the tying method is also very particular. Just go through the first loop backwards and pull the long rope, and the entire bag will open.

After the steward ordered the cargo ship to be loaded, Cai Yong led the people to carry the ten bags of poisonous salt to the ship. Then, he moved grain from another warehouse and packed the ten bags of poisonous salt to the end.

Everything was ready, and the time was just right. Guan Chen waved to the ship's boss, who shouted, "Sail!" Immediately, several boatmen pulled up the sail and adjusted the direction. Soon, the cargo ship sailed away.

After arriving at the Commercial House Pier, we headed straight downstream.

Lu Chun asked Guan Chen to come forward to buy this ship. It is slightly smaller than the Ji family cargo ship. However, the shape of the sails, the shape of the cabin, and the color of the tung oil painted on the outside are very similar to the Ji family cargo ship. As for the boatmen and bosses of the ship,

They were all veterans on the Yangtze River. This kind of talent could not be cultivated by a trading house in a short period of time. So Pinchun also spent a lot of money to pry it from other boatmen (read the full text of Double Voice Hate).

Guo Yongyan was lying in the cabin, covered with two thick quilts. Despite this, he kept shivering and sneezed and had a runny nose from time to time.

It's no wonder that he had to go out of the cabin to enjoy the cool breeze just after he leaked, and there was still remnants of vomit in his crotch, which made Guo Yongyan extremely uncomfortable. What made him most depressed was that General Lu Pi was very talkative and actually chatted with him.

After hours of idle chatter, he had to force himself to accompany him and pretend to be very speculative with Lu Hong.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Hong was finally leaving. Guo Yongyan had to send Lu Hong out again. As soon as he got out of the cabin, another gust of river wind blew in. Guo Yongyan felt cold all over and almost withered to the ground.

After the two sides finally said goodbye, Guo Yongyan collapsed when he returned to the cabin, and was finally helped to the bed. Guo Yongyan had to ask the maid to untie his clothes and clean up all the things in his crotch.

Rested.

All this hard work turned Mr. Guo, who was in excellent health, into a sick person, and a serious one at that.

After sleeping for more than three hours, Guo Yongyan, who had a splitting headache, was woken up again. For no other reason than the Dayu Wharf was about to arrive.

"Steward Cai, where does our boat stop?" The boss of the boat on the trading house asked Cai Yong carefully. At this time, the nearest Pier 3 was only a few miles away.

He was not allowed to be careless. The strong man in front of him was a ruthless character. He had long been told that Cai Yong was a confidant of his boss Guan Ye (Guan Chen). Not only that, but all the men he led were Kong Chen.

Strong force. Half a month ago, two blind boatmen wanted to bully these coolies, but they were beaten all over the ground with one hand. Since then, the boss of the boat has learned his lesson and voluntarily retired.

The second son of the boat.

Cai Yong looked at the river in front of him and hesitated. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, dyeing the river red. The clear weather made the visibility on the river quite high. Cai Yong looked far into the distance and only found a few black spots in the distance.

, couldn't see clearly whether it was the shadow of Ji's cargo ship. He was secretly worried. If it docked at the first pier at this time and did not unload the cargo, wouldn't it be suspicious?

"Steward Cai, look (read the full text of Cangqiongxiao)! Pier 1 and Pier 3 are both vacant. Should we move to Pier 3?" The boss of the ship pointed forward again.

Cai Yong took a look, and sure enough, a boat on the inside of Pier 3 had unloaded its cargo and moved out. On the other side of Pier 1, a steward was standing on the pier, waving a small white flag. Cai Yong knew that,

This is the steward of the pier informing the ships that are about to dock not to dock at Pier 1. Apparently, they have been notified that the Ji family's ship transporting military salt will arrive this afternoon.

"First lower half of the sail, leave two sections hanging, and slowly sail to the inside of Pier 1." Cai Yong gave the order decisively.

"Ah?" The boat boss was surprised, "Isn't it forbidden to stop over there? There's someone waving the flag up there!"

"We have to stop even if we are not allowed to do so. We have been unloading the goods at Pier 1, and the people who are picking up the goods are also waiting there. It is getting dark. If we stop at Pier 3 and then go to Pier 1 to find someone, it will be a delay in going back and forth.

, I missed someone else's business." Cai Yong explained.

"Oh, that's true. Well, in a moment..."

"I'll deal with it later, you just need to sail the boat over." Cai Yong said coldly.

The captain of the ship shrank his neck and quickly turned around to give orders. The boatmen began to lower the sails and sail the ship.

Cai Yong stood on the bow of the ship, observing the movements on the pier and looking east. Finally, when the ship was about forty or fifty feet away from Pier 1, a black spot in the distance became clear. The mast of the ship

Above, a white flag danced crazily in the wind, and between the curls, the huge red character "Ji" appeared and disappeared.

"It's nearly two quarters of an hour off." Cai Yong muttered silently in his mind. He also knew the reason. As the evening wore on, the wind in the river became stronger, which affected the speed of the Ji family's cargo ship.

"It's okay, I happened to be dealing with the manager during this period." Cai Yong smiled and reached out to touch his arms. They were several small banknotes worth twenty taels.

At this moment, a steward on the shore shouted, "Steward's ship, listen, it can't stop here, turn around quickly and go to Pier 3."

Cai Yong ordered the ship to move forward while shouting at the pier, "Is it the steward? What happened today? Pier 1 can't be used?"

In the past month, Cai Yong has interacted with the stewards at the pier and paid a lot of tributes. He is very familiar with the stewards at Pier 1. For more than half a month, the steward surnamed Quan has also received seven or eight awards.

The advantage of two pieces of silver.

Don't underestimate these stewards, they still have a lot of power. Da Yuan Wharf is busy with cargo transportation, and sometimes several ships are crowded together. At this time, who goes first and who comes last must follow the steward's arrangements.

"It turns out to be Butler Cai." Steward Quan's tone softened a little, and he immediately shouted, "Butler Cai, let your boat sail back quickly. Pier 1 cannot stop at the moment."

"We have been stopping at Pier 1, and the person who picks up the goods is also there. Yes, right behind you."

Steward Quan looked back and saw not far away, a man who looked like a housekeeper, leading a group of strong laborers standing there. He looked familiar, he was the person who received the goods. Naturally, he didn't know that this person was none other than Song.

Zheng’s subordinate Dou Hai.

"That won't work! The military salt is being unloaded here today, and no one can afford to delay it!" Seeing the ship getting closer, Steward Quan couldn't help but become anxious, and his tone became stern.

"I need this product very urgently!"

"No, no, go back quickly!" Steward Quan waved the white flag desperately.

"Let's borrow some money. Isn't the ship carrying military salt still not here? I don't have much cargo on the ship, so it won't waste much time." Cai Yong said while holding out two fingers to Steward Quan.

head, and then crossed the index fingers of both hands.

The boat was very close, and all the stewards could see it clearly. My heart suddenly suddenly thought, my dear, twenty taels of silver!~
