They originally thought that after Wang'er alerted the enemy, the fleet sending the daughter off would set off overnight.
However, the ship departed in the morning.
Right in front of Wang'er and the others.
When Wang'er proposed to take a boat down the river, Jinyiwei Qianhu readily agreed, quickly found a reliable boat for them, and personally escorted them to the dock.
Just as Wang'er and the others were leaving the city and heading to the pier, they saw the city guards escorting a group of crying civilian girls onto another large boat.
As a transfer ship, the building boat is also a cruise ship. A building boat can theoretically carry thousands of people, so the rows of civilian women did not feel crowded when they were escorted aboard.
"Master Qianhu, are the women on this boat kidnapped by you to send to the capital?" Wang'er asked.
Although the plan had changed, Wang'er regained his composure in an instant.
Qianhu of Jinyiwei were also shocked when they saw this building boat.
It wasn't until Wang'er asked again that he came back to his senses, "Ah, yes, yes, this is, it's shipped to the capital."
"That's a coincidence."
Wang'er smiled and said: "We are also going to the capital, and we can go with this building boat so that we can have someone to take care of us along the way."
"No, no!"
Jinyiwei Qianhu blurted out, but after the words came out, he realized that something was wrong.
He smiled reluctantly, "Well, the girls on this boat are to be sent to the palace. No, no one can get close to her, and she can't carry private individuals. This is a special ship, yes, a special ship."
Jinyiwei Qianhu stumbled while speaking, so much so that a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. He took the last reason he found as a life-saving straw and desperately grasped it, "Miss Mo, you also know that since the palace incident of the Supreme Emperor,
The palace is very strict about selecting folk girls. These people are all carefully selected women with innocent backgrounds. But now that they are selected, some people can't help but have their own thoughts. In order to prevent these people, no one is allowed to approach these folk girls along the way.
.”
"Oh, that's it, okay then." Wang'er nodded.
Even so, she had made up her mind that once the ship left the dock, she would let their ship follow the ship upstairs.
She knew that these people must have some conspiracy or plan when they openly put the women on the boat in front of her, but as the saying goes, wealth is gained through danger, and she felt that it was worth taking a risk to find out the truth.
Besides, she also has a demon-slaying sword and has the unique skill of transforming a fish into a dragon. If something unexpected happens, they will go into the water. When the time comes, neither humans nor demons will be their opponents.
After making up their mind, Wang'er didn't say anything, but led by Jin Yiwei Qianhu to board the boat prepared for them.
As if on purpose, before Wang'er and the others could pull anchor, the ship in front of them had already set off.
Wang'er's boat slowly followed them.
After Wang'er bid farewell to Jin Yiwei Qianhu at the bow of the boat, he turned back and asked Huniu and the others, "Where is Junior Brother Pei?"
Hu Niu shook her head.
Wang'er couldn't help but look at the shore, but she saw no one following along the way. She looked behind her again, and there was no boat following her. "I guess Junior Brother Pei will catch up by boat when no one is paying attention."
She withdrew her gaze and took Huniu and the others to a quiet place to discuss, "The boatmen on the boat are not trustworthy. You should keep an eye on it. In addition, let's keep an eye on the boat in front. We must not lose it."
Wang'er felt that the Jinyiwei Qianhu didn't know that Lou Chuan was traveling with them, but in Hancheng, where the Shi family was in charge, it was always right to have an extra eye.
After they made an agreement, they just walked into the cabin when a person flashed across the cabin and signaled Wang'er to be silent, "Sister, it's me."
The person hiding in the cabin was Pei Qing.
Wang'er hurriedly left someone to guard outside, and then entered the cabin with Huniu and others, "Junior brother Pei, why are they moving now?"
Pei Qing shook his head.
He was also wondering, "We were all ready last night. Our ship had already left the dock and was waiting not far away. But we didn't expect that they didn't leave for a long time. They waited for you to come out before they left.
"
Wang'er thought thoughtfully, "Are they deliberately trying to seduce us?"
Pei Qing thinks so too.
"When you entered the city, you had a conflict with them over the matter of robbing a peasant girl, so they are almost certain that if they send this boat girl away in front of you, you will definitely follow."
"Their intentions are now clear."
Pei Qing's tone was calm and methodical, "That Jinyiwei Qianhu is timid and cowardly and doesn't want to cause trouble, so it's the Shi family who dominates Han City. They have a grudge against the master, but they don't dare to retaliate, so they might have made a mistake.
On your head. Now that you have left Hancheng, if you have an accident, it has nothing to do with them, so they want to use the bait on the boat to fish for your life."
Pei Qing wanted Wang'er to stop following the ship and go directly to the next city to continue walking overland.
Wang'er disagrees.
She analyzed for Pei Qing: "Whether it is the missing women from the Beggar Gang or the women who left Hancheng, they disappeared without a trace after leaving Hancheng. This proves that Hancheng either used some method to hide their whereabouts.
To prevent the people downstream from being discovered, or to take them to a secret place - this secret place is not yet in the human city."
She walked back and forth in the cabin, "I prefer the second possibility."
Because it is almost impossible to hide the whereabouts of so many people.
As for the second possibility——
"If so many civilian girls are not sent to the human city, then where will they be sent? The Northern Dynasties - ah!"
Hu Niu was startled.
She looked at Pei Qing on her left and Wang'er on her right, "You won't let it go to the monster's mouth, right?"
Wang'er doesn't think so.
If they dare to feed these women to monsters, they are seeking death. Once this news gets out, the entire Shi family will not end well.
"If you want to know where they were sent, the best way is to follow them and take a look."
Wang'er made up his mind and went with him.
She said to Pei Qing, who still wanted to persuade her: "The water of the Ningjiang River under our feet is the best protection."
If anything happens, they will jump into the water.
They can transform into fish and dragon, and are protected by a demon-slaying sword that is in the semi-immortal realm. As long as they don't drown, they are invincible.
Pei Qing saw that Wang'er had already made up his mind and stopped trying to persuade him.
He then told a new piece of news, "The Hancheng City Guards were busy at the dock last night, gathering the civilian girls to prepare to board the ship. Our people saw us volunteering to infiltrate into the enemy's interior and were captured."
The symbol of kidnapping women to help others.”
Pei Qing came to a conclusion, "She is in the building boat in front!"
Wang'er was surprised, "She is also in the building boat?"
Pei Qing nodded, "I have to say that this trick is very clever. They turned the beggar woman they snatched into a civilian girl and sandwiched them among the civilian girls. Now even if we want to check their traces, it will be difficult to trace them."
Wanger clenched his fist, "So we have to seize this opportunity."
Pei Qing responded.
He stood up and said, "Then I will go back to the shore now, get on the boat we rowed out in advance, and follow behind, so that we can take care of each other."
