0146 Waterway
"Open the city gate and release the suspension bridge! Hurry--" Hassan hurriedly instructed these three men to work: "Move it more quickly, and it's going to dawn in a few hours!"
"Yes, sir!" The three of them agreed in a low voice, and worked hard to remove the wooden bars of the gate of the city gate, then pushed open the city gate and lowered the wooden bridge of the sling!
The wheels of the carriage suddenly sounded, "Baopao!" Under a strong man's whip, the car began to speed up and headed straight for the outside of the city!
At this time, in the dark corner near the city gate, Guan Heng was watching Hassan's carriage leave alone. A sound of horse hooves suddenly came not far behind him. Then Shani shouted in a low voice: "Guan Heng, as you told me, I found two horses nearby!"
"Well, it seems that the place where Hassan and his men are going is not close. Let's ride on a horse and chase it. Just keep a distance as much as possible!"
The two nodded to each other, then jumped onto their mounts, and rode their horses in the direction of Hassan's departure!
...
I don’t know how long it took, but it was already dawn. Guan Heng and Shani carefully rode their horses and kept a distance from the carriages of the four masters and servants in front of them. ■
"So, Hassan had already made plans half a year ago to quietly transfer his treasure house to the outside of the Kauru King Capital?!" Guan Heng immediately asked Shani: "Is this the news you eavesdropped outside the window of his room last night?"
"Well, I overheard Hassan seemed to be afraid of someone. He had already moved the things in his treasure room in batches. Now the carriage should be the last one!"
Shani said with an unhappy face: "No wonder I visited the warehouse of the city guard's mansion a few times ago. There was almost nothing valuable there. It turned out that it had been transferred long ago!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter!" Guan Heng said with a smile: "Let's go with Dinghasan, the fat worm, to find the place where he hides his treasures. At that time, hehehe..."
Speaking of this, Guan Heng and Shani smiled badly, and they said in unison: "Take all the savings of this fat pig and make him angry!"
Hassan's carriage started running along the wide official road, and later gradually turned into the path in the forest, followed quietly behind, feeling that the scenery around him became more and more desolate. ●
"Xiani, are you familiar with the geography nearby?" Guan Heng asked the female thief around him quietly: "Do you know where the road ahead leads?"
"Well... I think we are moving on the edge of a river leading to the capital!" Shani replied: "The water surface of this river is very wide and turbulent, and there are very few people nearby!"
"So that's the case, but I observed that there was no secret place nearby that could hide things!" Guan Heng said strangely: "I just don't know where Hassan wants to transport his carriage to!"
"Hmm?" As soon as he said this, Guan Heng suddenly twitched his nose and sniffed a few times: "What a heavy smell of water, it seems that we have really come to the river bank!"
"Guan Heng!" Shani reached out to her mount and pointed: "Hasan and his carriage stopped, and it seemed like a simple dock in front... Huh? There is another boat. Do they want to transport things somewhere through the waterway?"
"Drop off!" Guan Heng whispered: "Let's take a look quietly, maybe you can see some secret information!"
"Swish!" The two of them turned over and got off the horse, then tied the two mounts to the edge of the tree in the bushes, allowing them to eat the grass on their own.●●. ww. ■
The veracity of sound came out quickly, and it was so thin that it was inaudible...
Guan Heng and Shani lowered their bodies and quickly sneaked into the grass near the simple pier. Relying on the towering reeds, they hid their whereabouts. The two had quietly touched the next to the ship.
At this time, under the urging of Hassan, the three strong men moved more than a dozen boxes from the carriage to the Clippers one after another!
"Move faster!" Under the extremely hot sun, Hassan kept wiping his fat face. Because of the nervousness and anxiety, his clothes were already wet. The fat man kept shouting: "Oh, be careful that the box you are moving is full of my favorite gold and silverware!"
"These guys are so clumsy!" The fat man kept complaining: "It's okay to fight and kill, but it's really too hard for them to carry valuables!"
"Bang!" A heavy box was suddenly placed on the deck, and one of the strong men said: "Sir, this is the last box!"
"Well, let's go out!" Fatty Hassan nodded with satisfaction, then walked towards the cabin with his hands behind his back. He was about to get into the cabin door, and another subordinate behind him shouted: "Sir, our boat's waterline seems to be too deep. If this is the case, he will encounter a reef area later and will break the hull!"
"Idiot, I'm still annoying me about such a small thing!" Hassan cursed impatiently: "Will you throw all the things on the boat except the treasure chest into the water? Can you reduce the weight of the hull?"
"For example...it's like it! Snake!" Hassan raised his foot and kicked a small sampan beside him tied to the side of the boat: "This small broken boat is useless. It's thrown to the shore immediately, and I'll move faster. I have to go to the island before noon, do you know?"
"Yes, I'll follow the instructions of the sampan!" The strong man agreed timidly, and immediately reached out to untie the rope that tied the sampan. With a thump, the small sampan was immediately thrown into the water by him!
Under Hassan's repeated urging, this medium-sized clutch full of treasure chests and a total length of about fifty or sixty meters finally left the simple pier.
Since the operating system of this ship is driven by rare magic stones, it can not only keep the safe ship fast, but also fast, it can still move forward smoothly and quickly on this turbulent river surface!
The medium-sized clutch drove away for about three or four minutes, two heads and a small sampan suddenly poked out from the reed marsh by the river.
"Haha, I didn't expect that this fat man Hassan was quite polite!" Guan Heng said to Shani while rowing the oars: "He actually left us a small boat. Isn't it obvious that we are asking us to follow?"
"Haha, what's right!" Shani covered her mouth and smiled. She immediately said to Guan Heng: "I just vaguely heard Hassan say something like 'You must go to the island before noon'. Is he going to take someone to transport the treasure chest to the nearby island?"
"Well, there is a possibility. It seems that there are many inner 6 islands on the fork in the tributary road of this river!" Guan Heng rowed a boat and analyzed: "Maybe a certain inner 6 island is Hassan's secret treasure site!"
