Chapter 243: Gaoyou Lake Frightened(1/2)
Chapter 243: The Shocking Soul of Gaoyou Lake
The boatman was shocked and looked up and saw a team of ferocious cavalry surrounded them. A general led by the leader jumped off his horse: "Your ship, immediately transport this young master's things to Yangzhou. You must arrive before the Qingming Festival, so there must be no mistakes!" The murderous aura in his language was so fierce.
The boatman didn't even dare to look up at the expressions of these cavalrymen. God, what is the origin of this young master? Why are so many Tartar cavalry helping him?
"Yes, Jun Ye, the younger one must be delivered on time." The boss of the ship didn't dare to say anything, and immediately agreed.
He Zhaoyi didn't look back, just listening to the sound, she knew that it was Kuogut Timur.
"Thank you, General." He Zhaoyi said.
"I wonder if this young master can move a little bit," Kuogu said.
He Zhaoyi had no choice but to follow the expansion and walk aside.
"Miss He, don't be fine. I didn't expect that you will leave so soon." Kuogu said.
I walked forward for a while and felt something was wrong with the expansion. At this time, in addition to Miss He, there were others who transported two coffins dug out of the soil. Is it so coincidental? The young man on the car? No, I have to go back and ask. However, when I looked back again, I found that the three carriages in front had walked onto the canal. From a distance, I saw the figures of the carriage coming off, so familiar.
"Brother Baobao," Since he was called out his name, He Zhaoyi knew that in front of Kuoku, there was no need to hide anything: "Please forgive Zhaoyi for leaving without saying goodbye. These days, Zhaoyi has been thinking about sending his father and elder brother's body back for burial. Today, I can finally go back, and I have to thank Brother Baobao."
"Since you call me a big brother, why are you talking about thanks?" Kuogutemur (also known as Wang Baobao) said: "The journey from Yangzhou here is long. I will send a team of soldiers to protect you. If there is any accident on the way, I can help you."
"No need, I've already inquired about it. The waterway is relatively safe recently." He Zhaoyi said.
"Okay, then you'll have a good journey. I'll come to Dadu in the future. I hope I can see you again." Wang Baobao said.
"As long as you are destined to meet, there will be no meeting in life." He Zhaoyi said.
Where can we meet in life? Wang Baobao smiled: "I believe that Miss He and I are destined to be a destined person. OK, it's getting late, so you can get on the road earlier."
He Zhaoyi's face turned a little red, and she turned her head and walked towards the boat.
The two coffins had already been lifted onto the ship, and the boss of the ship had already turned down and bowed: "Young Master, be careful to get on the ship."
"When you arrive in Yangzhou, you will be given a lot of wages." He Zhaoyi said and walked towards the boat.
He raised his sails and the boat began to sail south inside the canal. He Zhaoyi stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the cavalry gradually disappearing on the shore, sighed and bowed his head to walk into the cabin.
"Young Master, what should we do?" said Mr. Ming, looking at the ship that had already walked away on the levee on the shore.
I had just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get on the boat, but Wang Baobao came to disrupt the situation. Because I was afraid of being discovered, Minmin did not act rashly.
"It goes without saying that we can hire another ship and follow behind, wouldn't it be enough? Anyway, we have silver." Minmin took out a ingot of silver and knocked on Old Ming's head: "Go and hire a ship and follow behind that ship."
"Yes, young master." Old Ming stood up and walked towards the ferry.
"The old friend left the Taishi Mansion in the north. Fireworks were in Yangzhou in March. The lonely sail was in the sky. Only the canal flowed in the sky!" After getting on the boat, Minmin was in a good mood. He stood at the bow of the boat and recited a song "Chede Dadu" with a beautiful voice. Author: Minmin Timur, no, it should be called Zhao Min.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, Miss is coming back soon!" A confidant ran in from He Mansion in Yangzhou and said to He Zhaojie who was teasing birds.
?Here you come back? She dares to come back? I thought she would stay in the Grand Tutor's Mansion forever!
He Zhaojie's face was filled with strange colors. He wanted to be the head of the He family, but there was an older brother on his head. Although the business he managed improved greatly after years of hard work, the He family rules were that the eldest son inherited his father's business, and only the eldest brother could inherit everything from the He family, and he could only help the eldest brother.
When his continued attack, after all the business of the elder brother was managed by himself, an invisible danger also came quietly. He didn't know what his father was thinking, and he didn't know what his ancestors thought. His father just wanted to hand over all the business to his elder brother after punishing him, and his father was already old.
It was even more uncomfortable to ask him to hand over all his business than killing him. In desperation, he came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Taking advantage of the influence of the thief in Gaoyou Mansion, he asked his father to agree to take refuge in Dadu. Others can't go, but he can't, because his good daughter had contact with the thief. If he stayed in Yangzhou and was found out by the province, his family would be in trouble, but the business at home could not be left behind. He volunteered to take over this hot potato and let his father go to Dadu.
In addition to seeking refuge in Dadu, what impressed my father was to go to Dadu to develop. As the Red Turban Army in the south continued to make such a fuss, the He family's business was getting worse and worse. If you want to continue to develop, it would be a good choice to go to Dadu, because Dadu has a backend, which no other business dares to offend: Taishi Tutuo.
When Dad got into this friendship, it was really a rare thing. At that time, Tuotuo was just an idle person at home and came to Yangzhou for a trip. Dad still made friends with him. Facts proved that Dad's vision was still very accurate.
Finally, my father was finally moved by this reason, and brought most of the money, took his elder brother and younger sister to Dadu, preparing to do a big fight in his lifetime. Maybe the He family is expected to become a rich man like the Shen family.
However, Mr. He did not expect that the second brother had been trained, hoping that after he was gone, the second brother could assist the eldest brother and expand his family career, and vaguely cultivate the second brother's ambitions. Moreover, the second brother had already started other thoughts. Gold and silver could allow a person to do something beastly.
He Zhaojie hired a group of people, dressed up as the Red Turban Army, and followed Mr. He's convoy for several days, trying to get back the money. He earned all of these money and could not afford it. And when he was about to succeed, a team of cavalry came out of somewhere and rescued the little sister, but the money was not taken away.
He was always looking for opportunities, but by chance, his younger sister entered the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and he had no chance ever since.
Now, my younger sister came out of Dadu and returned to Yangzhou. In the Yangzhou area, something was not good-looking. However, if she had not arrived in Yangzhou, she would disappear before she could reach Yangzhou, it had nothing to do with herself, right? Especially Gaoyou Lake, where the lake surface was so wide that she accidentally fell in and drowned, but it had nothing to do with herself, and the money would have to be returned.
It's really time to come back!
"Young Master, tomorrow is Qingming Festival, and we finally caught up." said the boss of the ship.
Along the way, the boss of the boat was always very respectful to He Zhaoyi. His home was near Dadu, but he didn't want to anger the Tartar cavalry because of this incident. Although he was unwilling to pretend to be the two coffins, he no longer complained when he arrived at the destination.
"Yeah, I know." Without the need for the boss of the boat, He Zhaoyi recognized it. At this time, he had entered Gaoyou Lake, and it was only half a day away from Yangzhou.
"Old Xuan." He Zhaoyi greeted.
"Yes, young master, what's the matter?"
"After getting off the boat, hire two more horse-drawn carriages, and we will bury the body first."
"Yes, young master."
Suddenly, the boss of the ship changed his face: "Young Master, there has been a ship along the way, following behind him sneakily."
Someone was following him? He Zhaoyi was also shocked: Who would follow her? She looked back and saw that there were many fishing boats fishing beside her on the vast lake. Where were there anyone following him? Suspicious?
"No?" He Zhaoyi said.
"It's the one behind, there is a large patch on the sail. I have always felt something was wrong these days. I always see this ship behind it. It seems that most of them will follow after it passes." said the boss of the ship.
After most people, they will follow? Could it be Wang Baobao? It shouldn't be. He is a general, and he has enough military affairs. Will he come to Yangzhou with him far away?
"Boss Boss, let's turn our heads. Is it possible to meet that ship?" He Zhaoyi asked.
"This..." The other party came in a bad mood, so we should think of getting rid of it, why do we have to meet? The boss of the ship understood, is it the young master's acquaintance on the ship?
"Okay, let's turn around." said the boss of the ship.
It is also a troublesome thing to turn the bow on the water, because it is the north wind, and now sailing south is a smooth wind. If you sail north, you have to constantly adjust the angle between the bow and the sail.
"Slow down half of the sail, and the left rudder is full." The ship boss began to command several boatmen under his command.
The ship began to turn left, drew a large arc on the water surface, and then began to sway left and right, sailing north along the zigzag route.
Wow, the duck you got is trying to fly? Among the small fishing boats around, one by one, one by one, was poking his head out. Seeing the boat in front of him about to enter his ambush circle, the other party turned north as if he knew it?
No, chase! The leader issued an order.
Several fishing boats, unknowingly, turned to the north, and the oars were rowing rapidly in the water, rushing to lay out a new encirclement.
He Zhaoyi had already seen a rich young man standing on the bow of the ship, smiling at him.
He Zhaoyi suddenly felt dizzy and fainted. Princess! Why did she follow her? Is this so fun? If she makes any mistakes, she will be over. Princess, don’t tease people like this, okay?
He Zhaoyi looked back at Old Xuan beside him. Needless to say, he must have known the inside story. No wonder Old Xuan sometimes sets a strange spark in the sky, and must have communicated with him later.
The hull flashed past, and He Zhaoyi only saw the princess at the bow of the ship. Her bright smile made people frightened.
"Go back and beside her boat, I want to get on that boat!" He Zhaoyi said to the boss of the boat.
"Young Master, how is this possible? Two ships will hit you if they get too close." The boss of the ship said: "Only by leaning against the shore, can you dock together."
"Then turn the bow of the ship quickly and catch up with the ship just now!"
"Yes." This ship boss could do it.
The princess's ship was driving south, and just now He Zhaoyi asked her boat to drive north. After meeting the two ships, they parted ways. Now that they want to catch up, they have to turn the bow of the ship and chase south.
"Boss," the boat came back. A happy voice sounded from the fishing boat.
"Distract immediately, surround the ship, and jump to help you!" said the boss.
After chasing all the way, I finally showed my feet in Gaoyou Lake. I had already admired the scenery along the way. In Dadu, it was still the vast cold wind, and here it was already green grass green, full of spring everywhere. Minmin asked the boatman to put down the sails halfway, slow down, and wait for He Zhaoyi to catch up.
The small fishing boats around were getting closer and closer, but neither of them noticed the two ships.
"Boss, why do these two ships seem to be in the same group?" A pirate discovered the abnormality.
A group of pirate leaders looked at the two ships, okay, send two ships to stare at the ship in front, mainly to siege the one behind!
Gradually, the two ships were getting closer and closer. He Zhaoyi looked at Minmin who was still on the deck and shouted loudly: "Young Master, are you doing well at home?" She asked this, naturally, asking Minmin how she got out.
"The family is very good. The old man has been busy these days." Minmin replied loudly.
"Young Master, these ships are not in good intentions!" After a wave of recession, the boss of the ship looked at the fishing boat that was only a dozen feet away. He was weathered and immediately knew that the situation was not good.
Why did he have a bad intention again? He Zhaoyi turned his head and found that at some point, five small fishing boats surrounded the left and right strings of the boat.
Without the explanation from the boss of the boat, He Zhaoyi knew something was wrong. What were these fishing boats surrounding him? There was only one possibility: he was the big fish they wanted to catch!
"Speed up!" He Zhaoyi said.
It's too late!
"Swoosh, swosh." Several flying claws were thrown by the boatman on the surrounding fishing boat and dropped onto the deck.
The boss of the ship immediately wanted to pick it up and throw it back. Before he could move, the flying claws had already been hooked.
"Cut the rope quickly!" the ship boss ordered.
Without the instructions from the boss of the boat, the boatmen on the boat also knew that this time they had encountered pirates. These arrogant guys dared to be domineering in Gaoyou Lake in broad daylight?
However, they were too close. Before they could cut off, they felt the hull shaking back and forth, and the other party's small boat had already hit the big boat.
Their faces suddenly turned as if they were dead. They were approached by the other party and got on the boat. It was very likely that they would be killing people and robbing people. Today, they might have to feed the turtle in the river.
The pirates with a big knife in their mouths rushed out of the cabin and began to climb up to the big ship. The big ship was not much taller, the ropes were tightened, so they didn't have to use any effort to climb onto the big ship without any effort.
To be continued...
