At dawn, a trusting eagle took off and flew to Huaizhou. It took about a day to get from Chang'an to Huaizhou, but the eagle tower was in Hanoi County, and then rushed from Hanoi County to Huaizhou, more than a hundred miles away.
The Wen County Interception Station will take at least one night at the earliest. In other words, the Wen County Interception Station will not receive its order until tomorrow morning.
Guo Song was worried whether it would be too late...
The Neiwei set up seven interception points on the Yellow River and Weihe River, including two on the Weihe River and five on the Yellow River. Among the five interception points on the Yellow River, one was at Hukou, one each at Yanhekou and Yulin in the north, and then
There are two places along Huaizhou, one in Heqing County and one in Wen County.
It's just that the internal guards were still a step late. When the interception point was deployed at Hukou, the ship had already passed, but the two interception points in Huaizhou caught up. Before the ship arrived, the interception teams from Heqing County and Wenxian County were already in place.
.
Heqing County is located in the westernmost part of Huaizhou, close to the Yellow River. It is right where the Yellow River gradually widens from a narrow channel. There are not many dark eddies on the river surface and it is relatively stable. Walking a few dozen miles eastward, the water flow slows down and becomes dark.
A vortex appears, and at that time, one can only walk slowly along the shore.
In the morning, two cargo ships came from the west, one after the other. Military Advisor Luo Sinan stood on the bow of the ship, squinting at the Yellow River in the distance.
Behind him, the warrior commander Zhang Qian asked worriedly: "Commander, will there be an interception by the Jin army ahead?"
Luo Siman sneered and said: "How could they not intercept such an important thing if it was stolen? If I guessed correctly, they have already made a lot of arrangements, but they were too late and we didn't feel it."
"Then ahead..."
"There must be interception points ahead, one in Heqing County, one in Wen County, and maybe Zhu Si will also intercept in Mengjin."
Zhang Qian was surprised, "Will Zhu Si know?"
Luo Siman said calmly: "Zhu Tao already knows, do you think Zhu Si will know?"
"Then what should we do?"
Luo Sinan looked at the looming mist on the river and said slowly: "Actually, Heqing County is easy to handle. We will walk along the south bank. The south bank is a mountain ridge and there will be no interceptions. This way we can avoid the interrogation and interception on the north bank. As for Wen County,
, I can only take a gamble and see my luck."
Zhang Qian was really worried. He felt that Military Advisor Luo was not very sure.
.........
The interception point in Heqing County did not work as expected. More than a dozen sentry boats intercepted on the river. Although they strictly checked every passing ship, the other party walked along the south bank. The distance was too far and there was fog on the river.
, the Jin army's sentinel ship could not be seen, and was passed by two ships silently.
As night falls, ten sentinel boats on the Wenxian River are intercepting every passing cargo ship or passenger ship. Soldiers board the ship for strict inspection and will only let it go if they are sure it is correct.
At this time, a large cargo ship came from the west. It had no lanterns and only a faint outline. It immediately attracted the attention of the sentry ship. A sentry ship came up to meet it. The leader of the brigade stood on the bow and shouted: "Immediately
Stop the ship and get inspected!"
Unexpectedly, the big ship didn't stop at all, and rushed over, knocking over the sentinel ship with a bang, and several soldiers fell into the water.
Another sentry ship immediately sounded the alarm bell, "Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The cargo ship sped eastward crazily, with nine sentinels chasing after it, gradually surrounding it. More than a dozen soldiers climbed aboard, and several samurai rushed out to fight fiercely with the soldiers who climbed aboard.
However, more and more soldiers came to support. The three warriors could not resist and were killed one after another. Several boatmen also knelt down and begged for mercy. "They forced us and put their knives on our necks. There was nothing we could do!"
The first captain shouted and asked: "What is carried in the ship?"
"It seems...it seems like twenty large wooden boxes."
The captain was overjoyed. He opened the cargo hold and went down to check. Sure enough, he saw numerous large wooden boxes, the sizes of which were exactly the same as those provided above.
At this time, a soldier jumped down with a torch, and the captain was shocked, "Are you crazy? Come up quickly, there is no fire here!"
The soldiers were so frightened that they climbed up quickly. A soldier handed over a lantern, which was okay. The captain used the lantern to read the words on the wooden box clearly, 'Iron Fire Thunder [Waste] No. 120.'
That’s them, from number 120 to number 139.
The captain was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "We caught it, take the ship back!"
The soldiers cheered, and nine sentry boats escorted the big ship back to the dock.
The patrol interception was immediately removed. At this time, a Qianshi cargo ship sailed silently through the outer water of Wenxian Wharf and headed east without lighting a lantern.
The big ship docked, and Zhonglang, who got the news, rushed Sun Qin to the dock. He saw the soldiers carrying heavy wooden boxes ashore. There were words written in ink on the wooden boxes: Iron Fire Thunder [waste], from
From the 120th to the 139th.
Sun Qin was overjoyed and ordered: "Transport the iron fire thunder back to Hanoi County and send a letter to Chang'an early tomorrow morning!"
"These iron fire thunders are wrong!"
Suddenly a woman's voice came from the distance. The soldiers were startled and quickly lined up to intercept, "Who are you, please don't come near!"
Two women on horseback came flying over, they were Ying Caihe and his disciple Jingyue who came from Hukou.
Ying Caihe saw the ship on the pier and immediately realized something was wrong. It should be a cargo ship with a thousand stones, but why did it turn into a cargo ship with five hundred stones? There was something wrong with it.
"General, pry open the box immediately!"
Sun Qin stepped forward, looked at Ying Caihe, and said angrily: "Who are you, and why do you order me?"
Normally, Sun Qin would have started yelling at a crazy woman, a stupid woman, but this woman actually knew about Iron Fire Thunder just now, so he didn't dare to make too much of a mistake.
Ying Caihe took out the King of Jin gold medal, put it in front of his eyes and said, "Open your eyes wider and see what this is?"
There were four words on the gold medal, 'It's like seeing the King of Jin'. Sun Qin was shocked and quickly knelt down on one knee to salute, "I don't know my humble position, please forgive me, girl!"
Ying Caihe performed very well in Jiangnan and won high praise from Han Huang, so he was awarded this gold medal by Guo Song.
She put away the gold medal and said: "I am a minister of the Jin Wei Mansion. I have been ordered by the King of Jin to track down these iron fire mines. The opponent should be the Qianshi cargo ship. I am afraid that these iron fire mines are fraudulent. Quickly pry open the wooden box."
Sun Qin also became nervous and immediately ordered: "Pry open the wooden box!"
The soldiers quickly pried open the lid with an iron crowbar. One soldier shouted: "General, there is a big rock inside!"
"General, there are also big rocks here."
Sun Qin's face turned pale and he shouted: "Pry them all open!"
The same thing happened when they were all pried open. They were all big rocks. Sun Qin suddenly thought of something and immediately ordered: "Seal the water again!"
The soldiers rushed towards the sentinel ship one after another. Ying Caihe shook his head, it was already too late, it must have passed just now.
She immediately ordered Jingyue: "Let's go!"
The two men whipped their horses and galloped away to the east. Sun Qin shouted: "Where are you going, girl?"
Ying Caihe's response came from afar: "Go to Hebei to intercept!"
........
At dawn, the eagle letter that failed to be intercepted by Huaizhou was sent to Chang'an.
Chang'an soon received the news from Huaizhou. Wang Yue was extremely frustrated and had to plead guilty to Guo Song.
In the official room, Guo Song sighed. This result was what he expected, and it was also what he was most worried about. The opponent was not a group of reckless men, but was directly commanded by military advisor Luo Sinan on the ship. He escaped from the interception with one move of the golden cicada.
However, Ying Xin said that the person holding his own gold medal appeared at the scene, and it should be Ying Caihe. She had gone to Hebei to intercept, which gave Guo Song his last glimmer of hope.
Guo Song paced back and forth. He thought for a long time and asked, "Have you cracked Tian Yue's intelligence point before?"
"Exactly, they are a porcelain shop in Dongshi City. They are actually an intelligence point set up by Tian Yue in Chang'an, specializing in collecting business intelligence in Chang'an. I suspect that they still have an intelligence point and are investigating."
Guo Song made a decisive decision: "Leak the news about Tie Huolei to them and ask them to send a letter to Tian Yue immediately."
Wang Yue was startled and quickly advised: "Although Tian Yue will definitely intercept it, if the two families reach a compromise and one family is half, wouldn't it be more harmful?"
Guo Song sneered, "If you knew how to be humble, there would be no such thing as two peaches killing three people. Don't worry! Either one family will monopolize it, or both parties will suffer losses. Regardless of success or failure, it is certain that Tian Yue and Li Wujun will completely fall out over this matter.
"
"When His Highness said both sides suffer, do you mean we still have hope?"
Wang Yue didn't know that King Jin also sent Ying Caihe, or even that there was Ying Caihe. He only realized that King Jin appeared at the Wenxian dock when he saw the man holding the gold medal of King Jin on the Eagle Letter.
In addition, surprise troops were also arranged, which ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Guo Song said calmly: "It is said that troubled waters are easy to fish in. Let's muddy the water first, and opportunities will appear."
"I understand, I understand. Now go inform the manager of the porcelain shop!"
