The Retirement of the Demon Lord

Chapter 298: suspicious person

They went southeast along the main road. The business road was straight and easy to walk. There were many merchants and civilians, and the road was stable.

On the road, I even met a lot of darts who were also escorted by Zhenwei Escort. They greeted each other or walked for a while, which shows how popular the business of Zhenwei Escort is.

After walking for three days, a group of people came to the border with Jiangdong from Jiangnan. There are tributaries of the Yangtze River here, and if you want to go to the east of the Yangtze River, you have two options.

One is to take a ferry to the other side; the other is to walk around the bridge for a day and a half.

Mei Qianxiao got off the carriage, walked to the riverside, stretched out, and looked into the distance.

The cascading waves of the river rolled eastward, flickering with shimmering waves; the green shadows of the distant mountains and the near walls were lush and lush, decorating the edge of the beautiful scenery. In the middle of the river, white sails are galloping far away, as if to move to the blue sky and enter the sky. With such a beautiful scenery, Mei Qianxiao had to sigh that the Central Plains were so beautiful.

However, behind him are dissonant sounds disturbing the charm of the current beauty.

Later, Qi Desheng was discussing with Tan Qianzhou, whether to cross the river here by boat, or take a detour to the bridge.

"I'm against crossing the river! Look at Qi Yatou, our goods can cross the river, but what about the horses and carriages? After crossing the river, we have to carry the goods to find the carriages, which wastes more time than detours!"

Qi Desheng planned the route early in the morning and planned to take a boat.

Zhenwei Escort has such a rule that the planned route of conduct will not be disclosed to outsiders, including employers. This is also for the safety of the darts. The long-distance transportation route is very important. Let those who are interested know the route, and they can find the only way in advance and set up an ambush. If one more person knows about it, there will be more danger, so Zhenwei Escort will explain to the employer when discussing business here, and the route will follow the arrangement of the escort. If you are unwilling to accept this condition, the price will have to be negotiated separately.

When Tan Qianzhou arrived, he knew that he wanted to cross the river, but he was unwilling to do so.

"It turns out that Boss Tan is worried about this." Qi Desheng and Tan Qianzhou talked for a long time and found that the other party was struggling with such a small problem, and then hehe smiled, "It seems that Boss Tan rarely goes out to bring goods in person. Today is different, Yangtze River The generation of the river basin already has big ferry boats that can carry horses and carts across the river, and we even get on the boat with the goods and carts, and when we cross the other side, we can continue on our way!”

"Ah, so it is! If the carriage and other objects can be boarded, I am willing to take the ferry!"

After this little episode was explained, everyone agreed and decided to take a boat.

The escorts of Zhenwei Escort have traveled all over the place, and all businesses on land and water have deep-rooted cooperative relations. The night before they came here, an **** was dispatched to the pier to cross the river to make an appointment with a large boat. At this time, the big ship was parked on the shore a little farther from the pier. The big ship had a deep draft and could only park in the deep water and could not enter the shoal.

At the side of the big ship, Tan Qianzhou brought three or four entourages on this trip. At this time, he was going to help unload the cargo and load it onto the ship, but was declined by the escorts. Once they have protected the sealed goods, they are really impeccable, not to mention the entourage of the merchants, and even the employers will not let them touch those goods easily.

It's also good, those followers are happy and leisurely, watching the guards slowly lift these heavy objects.

Jiang Hao came to the shore and took the lead on the big boat. I have to say that the information about the robbers that Mei Qianxiao got from Qi Desheng was very useful, at least he had a direction to guard against. After getting on the boat, Jiang Hao identified all the boatmen on the big boat and stared at them closely to see if there was anything unusual. In order not to wait for the ship to open the river and there will be any trouble, then it will be troublesome.

After all the goods and carriages were transported to the deck of the big ship and fixed with ropes, the big ship gradually left the shore.

"I plan to go down the river to the next section before going ashore to save more distance, so this voyage will take about a day and a night. You can rest as you like, and our escorts will take turns to take care of the goods." Qi Desheng finished speaking to Tan Qianzhou and the others. , I went back to tell the escorts about their work, which was really worrying.

Jiang Hao and Mei Qianxiao walked to the other side of the big boat, and seeing no one around, Jiang Hao said in a low voice, "I've patrolled around and the boatman can't see anything unusual."

"He is the number one thief in the world. If he wants to mix in with the boatman and pretend to be a boatman or boatman, he will be a ghost if you can easily see it!" Mei Qianxiao said angrily.

"Then we can only continue to monitor." Jiang Hao sighed.

"But I can give you a person to focus on." Mei Qianxiao patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder and asked him to look at the guards who were talking to the side and back, "The one on the left is a little weird."

"Where's weird?"

"I was watching them from the shore just now as they loaded the cargo onto the boat. When two people were carrying the wooden boxes, it was obviously his turn, but he stepped back a few steps, deliberately trying to move the unsealed box... Look again. , he subconsciously glances at the direction of the wooden box almost every ten seconds."

"Indeed! We'll arrest him now and check if he's disguised!"

Mei Qianxiao grabbed Jiang Hao, who was about to leave, and pulled him back with a gentle pull, and almost threw him off the boat with too much force.

Everyone in the Gongwei Division knows that Mei Qianxiao has a pair of unicorn arms that have been practiced for many years, and a single dog understands... So Mei Qianxiao has a strong arm strength Jiang Hao will not be surprised.

"What are you pulling me for?"

"I said how are you going to check if he's disguised?"

"Wash it with water! Pull his skin and rub his flesh!"

"You are doing laundry... Well, I'll take it as you have successfully discovered his disguise, so can you prove that he is a thief? He said that he is not a thief, but he usually has a quirk that likes to disguise. Can you What to do? On what charges do you imprison him?"

"How can such a quirk be trusted!"

Then you believe that brother has Longyang addiction? ! Dare not to double standard! !

"In addition, can you guarantee that he is not the real look of the robbery handsome? No one has seen his true face of Mount Lu, maybe he is showing his original face now! There will be no traces of disguise by then, how can it be? Isn't it scaring the snake, but also having a conflict with the people in the shocking escort? With the stealing style of the robber, just waiting for us to have trouble inside so that he can start!"

Jiang Hao was shocked when she heard this!

Yup! He always preconceived that the robbers would easily sneak in, but he never thought that even if the other party was not easy to sneak in, it would be difficult to identify! Thinking about various possibilities without inferring one another, it is easy to enter a dead end, and the stolen handsome takes advantage of the loophole!

"So the best way for us at the moment is to keep an eye on that person all the time! When he shows up, we can bring him to justice!"

"No, we can't hang on a tree. If we make a mistake in judgment, won't it be all over? The best way is to stay the same, and we have to keep an eye on the big wooden box, whether he steals it or not. Shuai, the ultimate goal of robbery is always the other side. We should pay close attention to the source, and don’t be distracted. As for the strange escort, we can pay more attention to it.”

"Yes! It's so wonderful! We must not be distracted!" Jiang Hao patted Mei Qianxiao on the shoulder happily, the huge palm was no big or small, and almost didn't slap Mei Qianxiao down the boat. " Qianxiao, if you are so focused on your mission all the time, it is a blessing for the Guardian!"

No no no... As long as your IQ can double and grow to about double digits, that's the good fortune of Gongweisi! I have never heard of the amount of water in a wooden barrel. It does not depend on the longest piece of wood on the wall of the barrel, but on the shortest piece! Do you understand the short board effect, Comrade Jiang Hao!

After that, the two set a time. During the day, no special arrangement is required for everyone. At night, they take turns to guard, and one person guards the middle of the night.

Yes, he can stay alone in the middle of the night!

Brother, I didn't sleep every night for the past few days, stalking myself, so let Jiang Hao share some of it like this! Being criticized by Jiang Hao every day for only sleeping and being lazy, I was wronged to death!

Ye can't sleep, Bai can't sleep, because she knew it would be so troublesome and hard, when Mei Qianxiao heard that she was going to deal with the robber, she didn't want to take this mission.

If it weren't for the 10,000 taels of silver, my brother would go back early and have the cheek to ask Li Damei to refund the money! It doesn't matter if you throw your face to the other side of the sea!

Jiang Hao was most worried that the boat would cause trouble in the heart of Jiang. Fortunately, nothing strange happened. They sailed safely to the shore after a day and a night, letting Jiang Hao feel relieved.

When it was his turn to carry the cargo and disembark, this time Jiang Hao also discovered the strange behavior of the strange escort. He deliberately took his turn to carry the unsealed large wooden box... This made Jiang Hao have to be a little more wary of him.

Unload the goods on the shore~www.wuxiaspot.com~Re-set up the carriage and horses, they are ready to go.

From here, it is already the land of Jiangdong. However, because the big ship could not dock at the shoal pier, they disembarked in a very remote location, deviating from the road in the mountain stream.

"Qi Dartou, this place is a little remote, so there won't be any problems, right?"

Seeing that there was not even a woodcutter in sight of this barren mountain, and the solitary chirping of geese flying in the south could be heard from time to time, even Tan Qianzhou, a businessman, felt that the atmosphere here was not very good.

"With me here, what's the problem! Take ten thousand hearts!" Qi Desheng let out a long laugh, got on the horse quite confidently, and wanted to take the lead.

But at this time, there were hundreds of people who were meeting with a machete behind the barren hills and slopes on both sides. Roughly, there were hundreds!

"Hahaha... I didn't expect such a big mass of fat to come to our mountain! As long as we don't have money in Niu Shanzhai, we will leave all your belongings, and we will let you go!" A bandit leader waved his hand He shouted triumphantly, "Otherwise, don't blame us for killing and throw you into the river to feed the fish!"
