After passing Tianjin Wei, the fleet went much smoother.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Jinling."

"What are you going to do?"

"The Jinling Market needs goods, and it's urgent to have 100,000 yuan!"

"Oh, I got it, go."

Every ship that follows closely will be interrogated, and those who are suspected will be boarded for inspection.

Such a scene occurs almost every day. As more and more ships are on the canal, Fang Xing simply ordered to pay attention to the suspected ships and leave the rest alone.

So I watched the boats competing in the flow, but unfortunately I couldn't see the fish swimming in the shallow bottom.

The days on the boat were boring. After Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji played a game of Go, both of them felt bored.

"I guess the news will be faster than us. When we get ashore, the whole south will be in a panic. How to break the deadlock is a difficult problem..."

"At present, we can only look at the ability of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei there. His Majesty said they have a list on hand. We should think about how to use this list to pry open the iron curtain of the southern officialdom and fight together with the big and small."

Fang Xing was righteous and worried about the country and the people, but he was thinking in his heart whether he could defeat a few corrupt officials who were the most determined to oppose science, which could be regarded as a warning to the monkey.

But Zhu Zhanji was a little absent-minded.

"Corruption in the south is nothing new. Just follow the clues. It just depends on the emperor's intentions. Maybe he doesn't want to take me to the northern expedition..."

"You really aren't suitable to go."

Fang Xing analyzed: "If you go to the northern expedition again, you may be the King of Qin in the future, why bother?"

After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, if there is an invasion of foreign enemies, who will take charge?

Zhu Zhanji has visited the battle many times, so he is certainly the only candidate.

But those who are familiar with history books still remember that Li Er, who was too powerful in military achievements, directly changed the situation in the early Tang Dynasty. In the end, even his father Li Yuan became a prisoner.

Zhu Zhanji went to the deck with some depression, and Fang Xing lay alone, falling asleep as the boat swayed.

There were endless ships outside, and when they saw this fleet, they would carefully lean against the side.

"That's the food transporter?"

Two large ships came from afar, with dozens of sacks piled on the deck, and it seemed that the warehouse could not be piled up.

Xin Laoqi put down the telescope and said, "Well, it's a grain ship."

The two ships gradually approached but did not get along.

There was a man standing at the bow of the boat, bowing from afar, smiling all over his face.

"Dear sirs, the ship is too heavy, and suddenly destined will capsize, and you will offend."

Fang Xing's fleet is full of official ships, which is easy to identify.

Xin Laoqi and his servants stared at the two ships, waiting for the interlaced past before relaxing. In the cabin, the scouts were ready and ready to rush out at any time.

...

At night, the fleet began to slow down due to reduced visibility.

Fang Xing slept for two hours during the day, and at this time he was so energetic that he wanted to find something to do.

There was a servant at the bow of the boat, but Liu Guan was there, and it seemed that he was talking to Xin Laoqi.

"...I used to be in charge of wood collection back then. Those trees were so big that even a few people couldn't hold them..."

Seeing Fang woke up, Liu Guan smiled and said, "I have nothing to do in Ye Bo. I talked about the young man's crazy, which made Xing and Bo laugh."

Any official above the Minister of the State will rarely brag about it outside, let alone talk about his previous experiences. That is a taboo. Who knows if he will let go and tell his private matters out.

A few lanterns were hung on the boat, and above the canal, it felt lonely.

Fang Xing didn't mind, so he also talked to Liu Guan about his interesting stories during the conquest, and the two of them became familiar with each other for a moment.

After chatting for half an hour, Liu Guan yawned and got up to go to bed.

"Master, it's foggy."

Xin Laoqi was already covered in clothes, and the servants were also ready.

Fang Xing had only one knife. When he saw Sun Yue protecting Zhu Zhanji, he said, "Are you sure there is something wrong with the grain ship during the day?"

"yes."

Fang Wu said: "Master, the waterline is wrong, this is what the boatman said. And the man smiled a little far-fetchedly. He didn't expect our people to stare at his every move with a telescope in the cabin."

"Be careful with the ship behind. The other party is likely to move them first, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack the ship."

It is unknown who the opponent is, but at this time there are many forces who want Fang Xing to live, and even Zhu Zhanji may be on the blacklist.

"It's too tiring to walk on land, and there are risks in water. So just fight and see who is taking action."

Zhu Zhanji was very calm and even a little eager to try.

"Drive the boat and stop the boat in a quarter of an hour."

Fang Xing ordered that there are risks in sailing at night and the speed cannot be increased.

There were two gangs of ship workers on the boat, and as Fang Xing ordered, the fleet began to move slowly.

This is a test. If there are enemies, they must keep up immediately.

"It's getting foggy!"

Sun Yue couldn't help feeling a little upset when he looked at the mist rising on the water.

The fog seems beautiful, but it is an accomplice of the enemy.

The fog gradually became bigger and visibility was decreasing sharply.

"Return all!"

So there was no one on the deck.

The last ship was loaded with supplies, guarded by twenty scouts.

As the fog became heavy, the small flag officer called the boatman to let him feel it carefully.

"Tell me if there is any movement."

The boatman nodded, then closed his eyes and felt the slight shaking of the hull.

Once someone climbs, the hull shaking will intensify.

Twenty scouts were waiting quietly...

After a while, the boatman suddenly opened his eyes, and the scouts also synced.

The hull was shaking, the boatman pointed to the port side, the small flag officer nodded, and then waved backwards.

In the fog, you can only use the lantern to see a distance of five or six steps, but that is enough.

More than a dozen people were biting the short blade in their mouths, but they were actually naked, so they boarded the ship.

A slight panting sound came to the cabin, but the scouts still did not move.

Compared with the enemy scouts on the grassland, the techniques of these enemies are really too old-fashioned.

The gasping sound gradually subsided, and the man in the lead was already red from the cold. He listened carefully to the movement in the cabin.

After a long time, the man walked barefoot and carefully into the cabin. The people behind him moved together, and the ship began to shake slightly.

If an experienced boatman can naturally feel this kind of shaking.

So the man suddenly shouted: "Take it!"

"crossbow……"

...

The loud shout behind the fleet alarmed the others, and suddenly several ships lit the lights, and then the scouts ran to the stern to check the enemy's traces.

Only the ship that took the lead had no movement.

"crossbow……"

"ah!"

Screams came from behind from time to time, but the ship was still the same.

"Crash!"

Amid the unscrupulous sound of water, a small boat quickly approached.

Five men stood on the boat, their bodies shaking, and behind each of them were two people stabilizing their bodies.

As the boatman approached, he stretched out his bamboo pole and supported it on the edge of the big boat, making a strange sound.
