If you can create a great cause, cut off your own head.
Zhu Yunwen cursed in his heart.
As his relationship with Liu Zongsheng became closer, he also understood the White Lotus Sect better.
If this group of traitors had been in the situation thirty or forty years ago, they might have been able to cause some trouble.
Now?
Zhu Yunwen sneered twice in his heart.
This group of people is not enough for my old man to kill him a second time.
Even the third child can disintegrate with a wave of his hand.
However, Zhu Yunwen still showed that innocent smile on his face: "I have no birth mother, and my hometown is empty! Sir, your great cause will definitely be achieved!"
Liu Zongsheng's eyes swept across the shore, and he whispered sideways: "Military advisor, please."
As long as you go ashore and leave the ferry station, you just need to follow the local path to Jingshan Station. After passing Jingshan Station, you and others will be completely safe.
To the west of Jingshan Station, Baijing Station in Taiyuan Prefecture has already prepared manpower to respond.
Once entering Shanxi Road, everyone will be like a fish entering the sea.
military adviser?
King Han Ming, who was in the crowd, lowered his head and sneered, looking up at Zhu Yunwen and his wife, who were led ashore by two congregants first and led by Liu Zongsheng himself.
A cold light flashed in King Han Ming's eyes.
Liu Zongsheng now did not even do the minimum to cover up, and directly called this Ming Ting clan strategist.
Whose military advisor?
Is he the military advisor of Prince Xiao Ming, or is he the military advisor of Liu Zongsheng?
Thief Liu's ambition is clearly revealed.
But when he thought about his situation, King Han Ming felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Now he is just living under someone else's roof. What Liu Zongsheng wants is just his own name, the reputation left by his grandfather and father in the late Yuan Dynasty.
Everyone got off the boat one after another and arrived at the pier.
On the ship, the White Lotus sect members disguised as sailors also pretended to move boxes ashore.
Someone went to look for a carriage carrying people and goods, while Liu Zongsheng, Zhu Yunwen and others walked from the dock to the small market near Dukouyi.
Zhu Yunwen's eyes were constantly searching, with a hint of urgency in his heart, but from time to time, when Liu Zongsheng and the gang of rebels were not paying attention, he raised his head and kept his face in the broad daylight.
This is your last chance.
Once he leaves the ferry station with these rebels, he will never have the chance to send the news out.
On the shore, Zhang Hui, who was hiding in the dark with two of his subordinates, narrowed his eyes when looking at the dock, his pupils shrank and became smaller, and his breathing became full, as if he was about to stop.
In his sight, the familiar but unfamiliar face of the crippled man came into view clearly.
That's a useless person!
Zhang Hui's heart skipped a beat, then immediately slowed down.
"It's him!"
Zhang Hui spoke in a low voice and looked sideways at his subordinates: "Send the news back, make preparations everywhere, and leave a quarter of an hour to do things."
Finally finding traces of the crippled man, Zhang Hui did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered preparations for action.
The Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers beside him nodded, then silently retreated and disappeared behind.
The market formed around Fukou Post is not big, with only three streets and four rows of buildings facing the canal. However, because Fukou Post is an official road and the junction of the canal, although the market is not large, it seems crowded.
Countless goods, merchants, and people gathered here, connecting Shandong Road, Hebei Road, and Henan Road.
Wine shops, hotels, pharmacies, and restaurants are all available, vying for business.
And in places like this, there are hooks and rails with half-open doors, providing cheap skin and meat business for those who go to and from Fukou Station.
On the outermost periphery are some small-scale low thatched houses.
This is the temporary residence of the laborers who worked hard to carry goods on the ferry.
Zhu Yunwen's eyes quickly found the ferry station with its door open facing the river.
Now, as long as he can create some chaos and temporarily disappear from the eyes of Liu Zongsheng and the gang of rebels, he can send the news to the ferry station.
There is no need for me to say anything, as long as I explain my identity, I believe these people will be able to send the news back to the capital soon.
But how to create chaos?
Zhu Yunwen looked at Liu Zongsheng who was walking in front. According to the plan, they were going to have a meal at the ferry station and take a short rest before continuing.
Time is very tight.
He frowned, feeling that he could only use the toilet as an excuse when he entered the restaurant to eat. Using this time and opportunity, he quietly went to the ferry station to find the Yi Cheng and explained his identity, and his purpose was achieved.
Zhu Yunwen quietly held Qiuniang's hand and gave her a comforting look.
"Let's go to this bar in front of us. Let's have a meal and rest for a while. Then we'll continue our journey in the afternoon."
Liu Zongsheng forgot to take a look at a wine shop with space downstairs, and confirmed today's itinerary and plans.
The group of people walked into the wine shop in a low-key manner, and the remaining three tables were filled in an instant.
"Shopkeeper, there are three tables of wine and food, please let the guys be quick, so that I can continue on my way when I'm full."
One of Liu Zongsheng's rebels shouted at the wine shop owner behind the counter.
The old shopkeeper raised his head, narrowed his eyes and looked at the three newly arrived guests, with a smile on his face.
"Hey, hey, OK."
The shopkeeper responded and looked at the waiter: "Hurry up and tell the back to prepare good wine and food for the guests."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter and came to Liu Zongsheng's table.
"Dear guests, have you just come up from the river? If you feel sleepy after eating, there is a place to rest for a while in the back. You don't need to include the whole night's room rate, just add a little."
You can solicit business anytime and anywhere.
A few cents of money is also earned.
The old shopkeeper seemed very attentive as he rushed past the opportunity and never missed it.
Liu Zongsheng forgot to take a look at everyone. They had been staying on the boat recently. Although there was no official investigation, everyone was still nervous.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He nodded: "Then I'll help the shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper smiled even more and nodded repeatedly: "If you want it, you must have it."
After the shopkeeper left, Liu Zongsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
On this trip, if you can avoid contact with people, you have to keep a low profile.
He drank the cheap tea provided by the wine shop and kept looking at the street outside.
There were many people coming and going and it was noisy.
From time to time, a vehicle pulling goods would collide with something, and then there would be a quarrel. But soon, these people who were busy selling the goods ended the quarrel and went back on their way.
Without disclosing anything unusual, this is a normal day at a busy ferry station in Daming.
"The food and drinks are here!"
In the wine shop, a waiter came out with a plate and shouted at Liu Zongsheng.
A large plate of mutton was placed on the table by the waiter, along with a jug of old wine.
Then, another waiter came over carrying a wooden pallet.
In the blink of an eye, several dishes were put on the table.
Liu Zongsheng just glanced casually and looked at King Han Ming, who was always taciturn: "Let's eat."
King Han Ming nodded, took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, and picked up a piece of mutton.
At this time, Liu Zongsheng had already got a glass of wine for Zhu Yun, and regardless of King Han Ming, he said: "The boat trip is really hard. Today I will have a few drinks with Mr. Zhu to relieve fatigue, and wait until we get to a certain place to have a banquet.
"
Zhu Yunwen smiled knowingly, looked at King Han Ming who had lowered his head to eat from the corner of his eye, and raised his glass: "I would like to pay tribute to Mr. Liu."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment.
Outside the wine shop, a loud noise came in.
Soon, there was a burst of noise.
There was a lot of noise, and people in the wine shop could clearly hear the commotion outside. Moreover, it didn't take long for the sound of fighting to be heard.
Liu Zongsheng immediately put down his wine glass and stared outside the wine shop.
It's just that he never saw the fighting crowd, but outside the wine shop, a dozen people had already walked in.
"Shopkeeper, there are three tables of wine and food. After I finish eating, I will continue to deliver the goods to the Cui family in Qinghe."
After finishing speaking, the person who started the call scanned the wine shop with gloomy eyes.
The shopkeeper didn't know that his business could be so booming today, so he hurriedly stepped forward, looked at the wine shop where there was no more empty tables, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir, you have also seen that our house is full of guests today."
The man snorted coldly, looked back and forth, and finally stared at Liu Zongsheng's move, and raised the arm holding the knife.
"Didn't these three tables just serve food? One family didn't even use their chopsticks, so let's give it to that family."
As he spoke, the man took out a bulging money bag from his arms and slapped it in front of Liu Zongsheng.
"Everyone, we are here to deliver the goods for the Cui family. We are in a hurry. I will give you the food and wine today. There is a lot of money here. Please give me a show and find food with other families to satisfy your hunger."
The politeness revealed a threat.
Liu Zongsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the knife that kept flashing in front of his eyes.
He opened his mouth and said: "My fellow bodyguards, we always have to be on a first-come, first-served basis outside, right? We are not those who are greedy for small profits, so why don't you, my bodyguards, look for a restaurant?"
"So, you won't give me this face? Please note, this is Qinghe County."
The noble families from hundreds of years ago have long since passed away, but the surnames left behind are, after all, beyond the reach of ordinary people.
You can't be the ruler of the court, but you can still be a wealthy gentry family.
Is this person deliberately stirring up trouble?
Liu Zongsheng's eyes shrank, thinking of his great cause, suppressing the roar in his heart, and stood up with a smile on his face: "We are all friends when we go out. Since the bodyguards said so, I will naturally give you this face. This
There is no need for any money, just consider it as a favor to invite all the bodyguards."
As he spoke, Liu Zongsheng already motioned to one of his subordinates to drop a money bag on the table.
Then he took the lead and walked outside the wine shop.
Zhu Yunwen, who had just stood up after falling behind, showed disappointment in his eyes. Liu Zongsheng was so low-key, and the conflict he had just imagined did not happen.
If there is a conflict between this gang of rebels and these escorts now, it will be an excellent opportunity for me.
With a quiet sigh, Zhu Yunwen could only walk out of the wine shop with Qiuniang surrounded by a group of White Lotus Sect rebels.
Everyone had just left the wine shop.
Only then did I realize that it was completely chaotic outside.
On the street, it was obvious that the two groups were fighting fiercely. Countless goods were scattered on the ground, and all the stalls on both sides of the street were smashed.
Liu Zongsheng instinctively wanted to retreat into the wine shop and wait for the chaos outside to end.
However.
It was just a moment of hesitation on his part.
A black shadow flew straight towards him.
With a bang, Liu Zongsheng was already pinned down by someone.
In front, several people had already rushed over with sticks in hand, beating them without distinction.
The stick fell on Liu Zongsheng, causing him to scream in pain.
The members of the White Lotus Sect who came out of the wine shop behind him immediately stepped forward, wanting to tell the difference, but they didn't expect that more people had already gathered in front of him.
In just a moment, everyone was involved in the fight.
Chance!
Zhu Yunwen grabbed Qiuniang's hand and looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, his eyes shining brightly.
At this time, the members of the White Lotus Sect who came ashore together were all involved in a fight.
At the door of the wine shop, only Zhu Yunwen and Qiuniang stood at the back.
He glanced at King Han Ming, who was also lagging behind and had not been involved in the chaos, with a ruthless look on his face.
When King Han Ming was not paying attention, Zhu Yunwen raised his foot and placed it heavily on his back.
King Han Ming was caught off guard and pretended to be in the fighting circle.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen did not forget to shout: "Brother Han, be careful!"
But before King Han Ming could react, a stick hit him on the top of his head.
Qiuniang hugged Zhu Yunwen's arm tightly with both hands: "Erlang...Erlang, what should I do?"
Zhu Yunwen continued to comfort Qiuniang, observed the situation in front of him, and carefully led Qiuniang back to the wine shop step by step.
"Qiu Niang, wait here and don't go out."
Qiuniang quickly raised her head to look at Zhu Yunwen, and said nervously: "Erlang, don't go out, I'm afraid."
Zhu Yunwen patted Qiuniang's forehead: "I'm not going out, I'll go to the back. Qiuniang, don't ask anything, just wait for me."
At this time, the shopkeepers, waiters and diners in the wine shop had gathered at the door and windows to observe the chaos outside.
Zhu Yunwen stuffed Qiuniang behind the counter, and while no one was noticing, he retreated step by step to the small door leading to the backyard of the wine shop.
Just go out from here and go to the ferry station to find Yi Cheng.
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath, turned around and walked into the backyard of the wine shop.
When he walked out of the wine shop, his eyes lit up.
However, in just a moment, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were blocked by several black shadows.
He couldn't help but tense up and immediately froze on the spot.
Looking at the knives these people were holding, the hairs on Zhu Yunwen's back stood up.
Zhang Hui looked at the crippled man in front of him with a slight smile on his face.
