Chapter 57 Night Hunting! [Please read on! ]
"Not awake yet?"
Qin Shuang frowned when he heard this. He remembered that he had asked for Doctor Hua to come this morning, so he immediately asked, "Did the doctor see me?"
"I checked her out and said she had internal injuries, but she hasn't woken up yet. We have to wait a day to see if she can wake up."
Sister Zhen continued.
"Oh, then let's wait a day and take care of him first, and then ask a doctor to come and take a look tomorrow."
Qin Shuang thought for a moment and said.
"Ah."
Yun'er nodded.
Qin Shuang was busy until the early morning when he was ready to go to sleep with Yun'er.
At this time, Ruhua, who had just left for a while, hurried to the backyard and said respectfully outside the door, "Master, there is a man named Zhu Heng from the Divine Eagle Hall looking for you!"
"Zhu Heng?"
Qin Shuang's heart moved. Zhu Heng's coming at this time must mean that he has news about the boat gang.
He hurriedly put on his shoes and headed towards the front yard.
"Master! I just got the news that the big ship carrying the three vice-masters of the boat gang, Ye Jianhong, Feng Sanhe, and Zhang Tianfeng, has dropped anchor at the Huilongwan Wharf on the canal fifteen miles away from Yangzhou!"
"We don't know if there is anyone from the boat gang to help us!"
As soon as Zhu Heng saw Qin Shuang, he stepped forward and spoke in a hurried tone.
"Fifteen miles from Yangzhou, Huilong Bay!"
When Qin Shuang heard this, a hint of anticipation suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Huilong Bay, he knew, was a small dock in Yangzhou.
at this time.
It was cloudy at night, and Ye Jianhong and his crew thought it was dangerous to sail on their large ship at night, so they dropped anchor and waited until daytime to set sail!
If we take advantage of the night to travel by water in a small boat, intercept the big ship of the Paichuan Gang, kill the three deputy leaders of the Paichuan Gang, and seize the 200-year-old ginseng, the chances of success are very high!
"Great! Thank you for your hard work!"
Qin Shuang took a step forward, grabbed Zhu Heng's shoulders, and spoke in a deep voice.
In order to get the news about the three deputy leaders of the boat gang, Zhu Heng led his subordinates to inquire until late at night, which was indeed hard work.
"Master, you are too polite. Do you need any instructions for your subordinates?!"
Zhu Heng smiled at Qin Shuang and clasped his fists.
"It's late at night, and you're tired, go back!"
Qin Shuang waved to Zhu Heng.
"Yun'er, Sister Zhen, I have to go discuss something with the military advisor. You guys go to sleep first!"
Qin Shuang turned around and gave some instructions to Yun'er and Zhen Sao, then put on his flying knife suit and headed for the meeting hall.
It's late at night.
"As expected of Hall Master Qin, he is so decisive! This is a good opportunity to weaken the boat gang!"
"I will now inform the three Vajras, the three guardians, Hall Master Pei, Hall Master Wang and the Association Master to track down the evil monk Yan Ni. Hall Master Qin will have to make the trip!"
Military advisor Zhuge Cheng had just finished his work and was about to take a break, but when he heard Qin Shuang's words, he narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
in fact.
The spies under his command have already learned that the boat gang has a ship carrying medicinal materials, which will be returning from Jiangdu in the next two days. In addition, he has been focusing on guarding against the evil monk Fa Nan and the beautiful nun Chang Zhen recently and has no time to spare, so he asked Qin Shuang to investigate.
But no one expected that on the first day Qin Shuang took charge of the Divine Eagle Hall, he would act so swiftly and decisively and find out that the boat used by the boat gang to purchase medicinal materials was anchored at the small pier in Huilong Bay.
Now that we have figured out the goal.
How could we let go of such a good opportunity to strike down the boat gang?
The reason why he sent out the Three Vajras and the Three Guardians was because he was worried that the boat gang would have someone to pick them up, so he sent a few more people to ensure that everything would be safe.
"Military Advisor, it is Qin Shuang's responsibility to destroy the boat gang!" Qin Shuang was about to go to Huilongwan Wharf to seize the ginseng. Even if the military advisor didn't say anything, he would have rushed over secretly.
A quarter of an hour later.
The second Taibao Lin Shirong, Qin Shuang, the great King Kong 'Mountain-splitting Axe' Tu Hongzhen, the second King Kong 'Blood-killing Knife' Ding Zhen, the third King Kong 'Thunder Palm' Yuchi Hai, the great Taibao Zhang Hanguo, the second Taibao Lin Shirong, the third Taibao Deng Baifang, led fifty elite soldiers, divided into eight small boats, and headed straight for the Huilongwan Wharf outside Yangzhou City.
Yangzhou Canal.
It was opened up by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty who summoned millions of laborers. It ran through Yangzhou. Although it caused great resentment among the people, it also connected the north-south waterway and gave rise to water transportation.
In the coastal areas of Jianghuai, the Jukun Gang, the Shuilong Gang, the Haisha Gang, the Dajiang Gang, the Zhuhua Gang and others all have businesses of smuggling salt by water.
at this time.
Fifteen miles away from the west city of Yangzhou, more than a hundred rowboats, sampans, and black-sailed boats are neatly arranged. This is the Huilong Bay Wharf. Although it is not as good as the four major wharves in Yangzhou City, it is also a harbor for nearby fishermen to moor their boats.
There are rows of wooden fish stalls by the pier.
Late at night, the dock was silent.
Under the faint moonlight, three tall-masted ships were moored at the edge of the dock. In the cabin of the middle ship, a whisper was heard.
"Master Feng, Master Zhang, we can't sail at night. Although we are only fifteen miles away from Yangzhou, I am still a little uneasy. I am worried that we will be targeted by the people from the Hidden Dragon Society. How about this, you set off tomorrow, and I will take the main medicinal materials and return to Yangzhou at night? "
A thin middle-aged man in his forties looked at the two strong-dressed men beside him and said in a deep voice.
"When we set out, the leader repeatedly reminded us that these herbs must not be lost!"
"Master Ye's method is indeed foolproof! Let's do as Master Ye says!"
Deputy Hall Master Zhang Tianfeng agreed with Ye Jianhong's words.
after all.
The gang leader repeatedly warned that the ginseng must not be lost, and waiting here for a night would only bring trouble!
Ye Jianhong is the gang leader's brother-in-law, and his martial arts skills are the best among the three. It is safer to have him secretly return to Yangzhou with the ginseng. Even if something goes wrong and the gang leader blames him, there is Hall Master Ye to take the blame!
Feng Sanhe was about forty years old and a smart man. He had the same idea as Zhang Tianfeng and agreed immediately.
"Then there is no time to lose. I will take the things and the ten brothers and go back secretly first. You can return to Yangzhou tomorrow!"
With the support of the two deputy hall masters, Ye Jianhong stood up.
The three of them headed toward the center cabin of the ship.
Not long after.
Ye Jianhong was carrying a nearly three-foot-long box wrapped in cloth. He jumped and landed lightly on the shore of the pier. Behind him followed ten skilled fighters wearing the robes of disciples of the boat rowing gang.
"go!"
Ye Jianhong waved to the ten experts behind him and they galloped away along the bank of the canal.
Ye Jianhong thought about it carefully.
It is much closer to enter the city gate via the main road, but it is easy to be targeted by the people from the Qianlong Society. Walking along the remote area along the bank of the canal is much farther, but it is safer. There are few people near the canal at night, which will help him return to the headquarters safely.
As the gang leader's brother-in-law, my brother-in-law promised that once this matter was done, he would promote him to the position of hall leader.
After all, his martial arts skills were not weak, he was only defeated by Hall Master Zhang Xingyuan with one move. In order to avoid being branded as nepotism, his brother-in-law gave him a chance this time and let him make more contributions.
Ye Jianhong walked for about a quarter of an hour.
Forty or fifty dark shadows hurried to Huilong Bay Pier.
The canal surrounds Yangzhou and is well connected, connecting the four major docks of 'east, south, west and north', as well as eight smaller docks such as 'Huilong Bay'.
Qin Shuang brought the three Vajras, the three great guards, and fifty good fighters, a total of fifty-seven people, and boarded eight small boats to head towards Huilongwan Pier.
Sailing at night is quite dangerous, so the fifty men were selected by the military advisor as being good at swimming. They chose a small boat that could turn around and moved forward carefully under the moonlight.
Qin Shuang and King Kong 'Mountain Splitting Axe' Tu Hongzhen were on the first boat together. There were five other skilled swimmers on the boat, and the other seven small boats followed behind. After sailing for more than an hour, they just passed a '﹃'-shaped corner when they saw a dozen gray-clothed figures galloping towards them under the faint moonlight, with swords on their backs, on the bank of the canal more than 20 feet ahead, shaded by weeping willows!
The two sides collided.
The dozen or so men in gray suddenly stopped. They didn't expect that eight small boats would appear at the corner of the canal in the middle of the night. They immediately became alert.
"stop!"
Qin Shuang waved his hand, and the seven small boats behind him slowly stopped at the edge of the river bank.
