Chapter 49: Muddy the waters
After the Fortune Ship sailed for half a day and left the confines of Kyoto, Zhao Yu ordered Lu Jianxing to find the two of them in the inner hall of the ship building.
These two people were the spies placed by Dongchang and Hulong Villa at the beginning.
In fact, in Daqian, the factory guards, Hulongshanzhuang and even the ceremonial supervisors would place spies around each other's prominent officials.
Originally, these people were placed next to Zhao Yu as usual.
However, as Zhao Yu's popularity among the factory guards rose, they gradually became more important in the eyes of the big bosses.
The two of them were kneeling at Zhao Yu's feet, trembling with fear!
Zhao Yu waved his hand to Lu Jianxing to retreat, then turned around and took two secret letters from the slips of paper and threw them in front of the two of them.
"Send these two pieces of news to the master behind you..."
The two of them carefully picked up the secret letter on the ground, took out a thumb-sized bamboo tube from their arms, and stuffed the secret letter into it.
After leaving the ship building, the two of them tied the secret letters to the carrier pigeons they carried with them and threw the two pigeons out.
One flew to Dongchang, the other flew to Hulong Villa...
"Survival despite being put to death... I hope the news about the Liuren Divine Dice can make them muddy the water in this pond!"
Through the window of the building, Zhao Yu looked at the carrier pigeon disappearing on the canal and whispered to himself.
Those two secret letters respectively stated the real purpose of his trip to South Zhili this time as the envoy of Jin Yiwei Bei Division!
An Jianqing didn't want anyone to know, so he let all the big guys in Kyoto who could compete with An Jianqing know about the Liuren Divine Dice!
In this way, even if Zhao Yu brings back the Liuren Divine Dice, those big guys will immediately start scheming with An Jianqing.
Even if An Jianqing wanted to kill him and silence him, some bosses would jump out and stop him.
After all, if Zhao Yu dies, there will be no evidence to prove his death.
If you want to get the Liuren Divine Dice from An Jianqing, Zhao Yu, a key figure, must not get into trouble!
Therefore, the more muddy this pool of water is, the more beneficial it will be to Zhao Yu!
"Sir, this is a secret file sent by Nanzhen Fusi!"
Just when Zhao Yu was staring out the window and thinking about what to do next, Shen Lian walked in with a volume of secret files.
Jinyiwei has two towns in the north and south. The North Town Fusi is in charge of arrests, prisons, house searches, and interrogations...
Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of secret files, espionage, etc.
Zhao Yu took the secret file, unfolded it and placed it on the main hall desk.
If you look closely, you will see that what is recorded on the secret file is the clues to the massacre.
The secret file said that the family name of the family that was wiped out was Tu, and his ancestor was a general from Bianzhen and had military exploits.
"The surname is Tu...it seems to be correct!"
Zhao Yu put away the secret file, squinted his eyes slightly and said to himself.
He had already guessed it from the moment An Jianqing told him that the target this time was the Liuren Divine Dice.
Now it seems that the Liuren Divine Dice may have been in Jiang He's hands.
In the past, Zhao Yu might not have really had much interest in learning martial arts. What would he do if he had food and drink to do?
Besides, the way of martial arts lies in the bones, talents and meridians.
Zhao Yu has already passed the age of learning martial arts. Even if he starts practicing now, his meridians have been finalized, and his bones and talents have disappeared.
But when he heard the Liuren Divine Dice, he immediately lost his composure.
This grafting... seems to not have the problems that Zhao Yu is worried about.
You know, before Jiang Yuyan started training, she was just a newbie in martial arts who only knew a few dirty moves.
In the end, after practicing the trick, didn't you still fight all the way to the end, and even put on a dragon robe?
Although Zhao Yu has a nirvana gifted by the system.
But the shortcomings of the teasing legs are also obvious. As long as the opponent cannot reach the range of Zhao Yu's legs, everything is nonsense!
And when he faced Gui Hai Yi Dao, he understood that if a truly advanced master wanted to kill him, it was just a matter of raising his hand!
Therefore, this time Zhao Yu not only wants to find the Liuren Divine Dice, but also obtains the magical skill in it - grafting flowers and grafting trees!!
…
The lucky boat headed south, and after a day of driving, it was about to enter the area of South Zhili, but at this time, the sky suddenly darkened.
The sky that was clear a moment ago, in just the blink of an eye, lightning started to thunder, and then it started pouring rain!
The canal, which was originally calm, suddenly broke out into turbulent waves.
Huge waves hit, and even the first-class fortune ship that Zhao Yu was on began to shake violently.
"Lower the sails! Drop the anchor!!"
Lu Jianxing stood on the bow of the ship in the rain, commanding his men and soldiers to lower the anchor and lower the sails, trying to stabilize the ship as much as possible.
At this moment, Zhao Yu walked out of the ship building in the rain.
This is not because he has the consciousness to share the joys and sorrows with his men...
Instead, he was so jolted that he vomited when he was in the cabin just now!
"Where is this?"
Zhao Yu walked out of the boat building and came to Lu Jianxing. He stared at the towering mountains on both sides of the canal and asked.
"Your Excellency, this is the Datong River..."
Datong River Channel?
Zhao Yuyi frowned, why did this damn familiar feeling that he couldn't remember come back again?!
"Sir, there is someone on the river!"
Just when Zhao Yu frowned, a strong man on the side of the ship shouted loudly.
Looking in the direction of the strongman's finger, on the stormy canal, there was a figure in white clothes falling into the water, rising and falling with the huge waves.
"Shen Lian, Jin Xiaochuan, protect the governor!"
Lu Jianxing drew his sword instantly and shouted to the two people outside the boat who were directing the anchor to drop.
The two of them ducked to the bow of the ship, keeping Zhao Yu in the middle.
Lu Jianxing stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "Archers, prepare. This person's whereabouts are unknown. If he approaches the lucky ship rashly, we will kill him!!"
Thirty strong men from the supervisory headquarters immediately drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the figure approaching the lucky boat on the river.
"She looks like a woman..."
Shen Lian had good eyesight. From a distance, he could clearly see that floating on the river was a woman in white.
"Water ghost..."
Jin Xiaochuan on the side stared at the river and murmured in a low voice.
Zhao Yu rolled his eyes, this guy's imagination is sometimes as good as Erha's.
But having said that, it was a stormy day and a woman in white suddenly floated on the river, which made anyone look strange.
Reaching out to take the telescope handed over by Shen Lian, Zhao Yu looked over and found a woman with her hands tied, drowning in the canal.
"Archers prepare..."
Seeing the figure floating on the river getting closer, Lu Jianxing raised his hand without hesitation.
And the warriors beside him also instantly bowed like the full moon.
"slow!!!"
Just when Lu Jianxing was about to order the woman to be shot, Zhao Yu quickly spoke up to stop her!
If Zhao Yu remembered correctly, the Dongchang ship escorting the family members of the prison officials was sailing not far ahead of them, right?!
Chase the river? The woman who fell into the water?
Chapter completed!
