Chapter 727 Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves
At this time, Yong Ming's voice came from the boat behind Quansheng.
"Quan Sheng, please follow me to take a look at the situation, and tell Quan Shi about my arrangements.
Later, you can go back to the main road and follow the convoy back to Anqiu. The rest of the operation will proceed as planned."
Hearing Yong Ming's voice from behind, Quan Sheng immediately stood up straight, turned around and respectfully lowered his head to listen to Yong Ming's instructions.
After carefully listening to Yong Ming's arrangements, Quan Sheng immediately responded: "I will obey the clan leader's order. I will go over and make the announcement."
After saying this, Quan Sheng turned around and ran towards the wormwood bushes in front of him.
By the time Xie Liuyun and Sheng Qingfeng came to the shore and stood in front of the gangplank, Yong Quanshi had already led Quan Sheng and Quan Chen towards the main road.
Xie Liuyun and Sheng Qingfeng looked at the ship docked on the shore and were very happy.
The condition of this ship was completely beyond their expectations.
It was not a small wooden boat as Xie Liuyun and Sheng Qingfeng had imagined before, but a speedboat with an iron shell and propeller drive.
There is a high cockpit in the middle of the speedboat, which allows you to easily observe the situation on the water and the shore.
There are spacious decks in front and behind the cockpit. Even if five or six people stand on it, it will not feel cramped and crowded.
There are passages on both sides of the cockpit connecting the front and rear decks, allowing the crew of the speedboat to stand or walk.
The whole body of the speedboat is painted with light gray anti-rust paint, which is also an effective camouflage protective color.
Perhaps in order to conceal his identity and whereabouts, the speedboat did not have any markings on its body.
Xie Liuyun and Sheng Qingfeng stood on the shore, looking at the speedboat, which was about seven or eight meters long from front to back. They were attracted by the appearance of the speedboat and had no intention of getting on board.
"Liuquan, Qingniu, what are you doing standing on the shore? Get on the boat quickly!"
Shang Baifeng's head emerged from the cockpit and shouted to Xie Liuyun and Sheng Qingfeng.
After Shang Baifeng shouted this, Xie Liuyun and Sheng Qingfeng realized that they had just stood watching the speedboat and had forgotten about getting on the boat.
The two people hurriedly followed the springboard set up on the shore and boarded the speedboat one after another.
When they got on the boat, Shang Baifeng walked out of the cockpit, retracted the gangplank to the speedboat, fixed it with ropes along the side of the cockpit.
While helping Shang Baifeng fix the springboard, Xie Liuyun said to Shang Baifeng with some envy: "Bai He, no wonder you got here so quickly. It turns out you came here in a speedboat!"
While Shang Baifeng fixed the springboard with a rope, he replied with a proud smile: "Yes! It is much faster to travel along the water by boat than to drive on land.
However, I didn't expect to come by speedboat.
Today, Han Yan and I finished handling things with Ming Gong, and when we set off, it was almost two o'clock.
I originally thought that there was no way Ming Gong and we would arrive here at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Depending on the situation, we must arrive at the rendezvous point later than the time agreed upon with you.
But what we didn't expect was that we arrived here half an hour early without any delays. It was really a big thanks to this speedboat.
When people sit on a speedboat, it feels like they are flying close to the water.
It is convenient, fast, safe and direct, and most importantly, comfortable to ride.
There was no bumpy feeling at all along the way.”
When Shang Baifeng finished speaking, he fixed the springboard, clapped his hands and stood up.
"Let's go to the stern of the ship to wash our hands, and then go into the cockpit to see Mr. Ming."
As Shang Baifeng spoke, he guided Xie Liuyun towards the stern of the ship.
At this time, Sheng Qingfeng, who saw that he could not help the two of them, had already walked into the cockpit.
By the time Shang Baifeng and Xie Liuyun finished washing their hands, waving their hands, and walked into the cockpit, Yong Ming had already started the winch on the bow of the boat and lifted the anchor of the speedboat.
After greeting Xie Liuyun, Yong Ming prepared to start the speedboat's engine and drive the speedboat away from the shore.
When Yong Ming turned around to prepare for the operation, Xie Liuyun walked up to Yong Ming and asked softly: "Ming Gong, why isn't that little boy here?"
"He is a key witness and will be useful in the future.
For his personal safety, I have arranged for him to be taken care of and treated in a proper place."
Yong Ming turned to look at Xie Liuyun and explained to him.
Xie Liuyun was naturally relieved about Yong Ming's arrangement.
Moreover, he also felt that Sheng Qingfeng's previous analysis was correct. This little boy's psychological problems needed special treatment to truly restore his physical and mental health.
Asking himself, Xie Liuyun felt that although this little boy was unfortunate, he was also extremely lucky.
He was able to be rescued from the hands of the "Common Sacrifice Society" during the fierce battle that day, and at the same time, he was properly placed and treated. It was a blessing among misfortunes.
"Ming Gong, Qing Niu and I have done detailed analysis and research on the little boy's situation. Is it convenient for you to make a report now?"
Looking at Yong Ming who had turned around and was checking the speedboat operation panel, Xie Liuyun asked tentatively.
"Liuquan, what's wrong with this?
If you and Qing Niu have any analytical opinions, just talk to them directly. It will not prevent me from driving the speedboat."
While talking, Yong Ming started the engine of the speedboat.
With the roar of the engine, the entire hull of the speedboat shook.
"Everyone, hold on to the handles around you or sit down and don't move around. I'm going to start the boat."
After reminding everyone to pay attention to maintaining body balance and safety, Yong Ming turned the steering wheel on the driving panel, quickly drove the speedboat away from the shore, and sped forward along the river.
In seven or eight minutes at most, Yong Ming drove the speedboat to a dock on the Wen River outside Anqiu City.
This is a commercial wharf belonging to "Yongran Hall". The staff working on the wharf are composed of Yong clan members and veteran employees who have worked in "Yongran Hall" for more than five years. They are completely trustworthy.
.
The people who were busy at the dock saw their speedboat approaching, and immediately opened the gate of a water tank built above the water to facilitate the loading and unloading of cargo, so that the speedboat could enter and park.
After the speedboat arrived at the dock, Yong Ming slowed down and slowly drove the speedboat into the water tank.
The people in the water tank, when the speedboat turned off its driving force and slowly leaned towards the wooden bridge, pulled and dragged the speedboat with ropes to fix it.
During the seven or eight minutes of driving the speedboat towards Anqiu, Yong Ming had already listened carefully to Xie Liuyun and Sheng Qingfeng's analysis of the situation of the man who appeared in Xie Liuyun's home in Tonglu, disguised as a little boy.
During this process, Yong Ming did not express any opinions, but listened carefully.
After seeing that the speedboat had been secured by the personnel in the water tank, Yong Ming turned around and said to the four people including Xie Liuyun, Sheng Qingfeng, Shang Baifeng and Huang Hanhan in the cockpit: "Now the matter in Tonglu has been generally settled.
Eye-catching.
There is not much time left to quell the civil strife in the 'Liuquan Guard'.
I just listened to Liuquan and Qingniu's analysis of the suspicious persons, and combined with what I learned last night and during the day today, we will hold a meeting overnight to study and discuss specific key issues.
Time is tight and does not allow us to have too much time to rest. Let us seize the time to go ashore and return to the training classroom."
As he spoke, Yong Ming took out the key to the speedboat from the control panel, walked out of the cockpit, and climbed onto the bridge next to him in a few short steps.
