Chapter 686 Return to Taiyuan

The reason for this is that Shen Guang and Six Swordsmen can easily expose Wang Junlin's identity, and they also have other tasks.

Zheng Shengqiu whispered to Wang Junlin: "Sir, this boat is the Fenhe Gang's boat that I told you about. I have paid the full fare and everything has been arranged to ensure a smooth journey to Taiyuan City. You can rest assured. ."

Wang Junlin asked curiously: "Why is the Fenhe Gang so capable?"

Zheng Shengqiu said: "Liu Chengbiao, the leader of the Fenhe Gang, has been running Fenhe's passenger and cargo transportation business for more than ten years. He has a good reputation because he has always had a good relationship with the Bai Dao Alliance, the largest force in Bingzhou's martial arts world, and he is also responsible for the Bingzhou army. Grains are bought and sold outside Bingzhou and delivered to Bingzhou, so there is plenty of food in Bingzhou, so you can rest assured."

Wang Junlin said: "I see, it's no wonder that such a big ship has only twenty or thirty passengers. It seems that it mainly transports cargo, and it only carries passengers as a side business, right?"

Zheng Shengqiu said with a smile: "But the real money is the passenger transport business. Shipping rates can be adjusted at any time depending on the situation. Since there are only fifteen cabins, it is not easy to get a bed if you have money. Fortunately, I still have a few points with Liu Chengbiao." Only through friendship can we accomplish this matter for the master."

Wang Junlin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, senior!"

Zheng Shengqiu smiled and said: "Young Master, you are so polite. It is my honor to serve you."

"Are you sure that the Taiyuan Wang family is behind the Hundred Swordsmen?" Wang Junlin looked solemn and asked in a low voice.

"While Yang Liang was here, although the Wang family kept a low profile, as the number one family member in Bingzhou, the Wang family was the force that General Xiao paid most attention to, and I was the person responsible for investigating all matters related to the Wang family. The Wang family Although he has always acted cautiously and has nothing to do with the Hundred Swords Alliance on the surface, in fact, without the support of the Wang family, how could the Hundred Swords Alliance become the largest political force in Bingzhou. On the surface, the Wang family is just a literary family, and there are many people in the court. There are many civil servants, but if a powerful official like the Wang family did not have the support of strong force, they would have been swallowed up without any bones." Zheng Shengqiu explained in a low voice.

Wang Junlin nodded, did not speak, but led a group of people towards the pier. Passengers had just started to board the ship, and Wang Junlin and his group were not in a hurry, so they lined up at the end of the queue.

This was Wang Junlin's first time traveling on such a long-distance passenger ship after traveling to this era. It felt fresh and interesting, and he didn't understand why he set sail at night. He felt a bit like he was on the run. Wang Junlin guessed the cargo on the ship. I'm afraid there is a problem.

At this time, under the cover of the wind lantern, the river was completely dark, and only the sound of the river water lapping against the hull and the embankment could be heard. The wharf and the town were blocked by a forest, and the light came faintly through the forest, like another world.

In addition to the passenger and cargo sailboats of the Fenhe Gang, there are dozens of large and small sailboats moored in the upper reaches of the Fenhe River. At this time, everything is dark, and the huge dock is only the place where they board the boat. There are dozens of big men. The goods stored under the tent were sent to the ship.

The four well-dressed men who were responsible for counting the guests on the boat were quite polite and courteous. They also helped the guests carry their heavy luggage onto the boat. Wang Junlin couldn't help but look at this Fenhe gangster. This kind of service was not expected in this era. It's rare to see someone like this, let alone come from a Jianghu gang.

In front of Wang Junlin was a small family of three. The man seemed to be a scholar, and the woman was beautiful and dignified. The couple were both in their twenties, and they had a four- or five-year-old boy with a tough head.

It can be seen from their eyes that they are wary of every stranger, and the same is true for Wang Junlin and his party.

Most of the other guests were dressed as business travelers, and they were in small groups, with only five or six of them looking like people in the world.

When boarding the boat, the young woman in the family of three in front suddenly turned her head and glanced at Wang Junlin and his group with a wary expression. Wang Junlin nodded and smiled, which scared her so much that she hurriedly lowered her head, her pretty face turned red, and hurried onto the deck.

Wang Junlin immediately understood that this family of three must have been in trouble, otherwise they would not be as frightened as they are now.

The ship was strong and spacious, with three levels of cabins: middle and lower. Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu occupied a cabin. Xiao Feng'er originally wanted to share a cabin with Nie Xiaoyu, but Nie Xiaoyu looked at her expressionlessly, and Xiao Feng'er had a pretty face.

As soon as it became clear, he became discouraged and had to stay in a cabin alone. Chunqiu Laonu and Zheng Shengqiu shared a cabin.

Wang Junlin came to the cabin window and looked out. All the goods in the cargo shed had been moved to the ship. He remembered that he had taken a cruise ship on the river in later generations, and he couldn't help but feel a feeling in his heart.

The ship shook and set sail.

Suddenly there was a roar of hooves.

More than a dozen people rode like a whirlwind through the woods and rushed to the dock, shouting to stop the boat.

The people of the Fenhe Gang obviously didn't know where they came from. There was a lot of chaos in Bingzhou these days. How could they stop at this time? They pulled out all the poles, accelerated away from the shore, and went straight downstream along the river. At first, they still saw the group of knights rushing along the shore.

He chased them, and in a blink of an eye he had left them far away.





The sail sailed eastward along the current, and it only took one night to sail through Wu'an County under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou. This was also a waterway. If we took a land route, we would never reach such a speed.

Wang Junlin had eaten the breakfast served by Xiao Feng'er himself, then came to the bow of the boat to stand in the wind and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the river.

The water in this section of the river is deep and fast, the tide is raging, and the cliffs on both sides are confronting each other. It is steep and steep. The sailboat follows the torrential water and has the potential to flow for thousands of miles.

Wang Junlin was fascinated by what he saw and felt that his trip was well worth it. Although Nie Xiaoyu's face was expressionless, Wang Junlin knew that she was full of great interest in everything she saw for the first time. On the contrary, as long as it was her

If you see something once, you will usually lose much interest immediately.

While he was thinking wildly, Zheng Shengqiu came to him and said: "Sir, at noon, we will pass by Shangdang County. The waterway from Shangdang County to Taiyuan County is even more dangerous. If there is a favorable wind, we can reach Taiyuan County at dusk tomorrow."

Wang Junlin asked: "When can we arrive at Taiyuan City?"

Zheng Shengqiu replied: "After entering Taiyuan County, it takes half a day to reach the dock outside Taiyuan City, and then you can take a carriage and walk for an hour to enter Taiyuan City. This is the first time for Young Master and Miss Xiao Yu to walk on the Fenhe River waterway. Along the way, there are mountain peaks

Young Master and Miss Xiaoyu can enjoy the precipitous scenery of Jiajiang Tower."

Wang Junlin looked far into the distance. Fenhe River was like a jade belt, extending to the end of the peaks. He nodded and said: "The scenery along the way is indeed good."

After a pause, he asked: "Do you know who the person who chased this ship last night was?"

Zheng Shengqiu shook his head and said: "I have already inquired with the ship owner. Those people have nothing to do with us. We still don't know who they are?"
