Chapter 1298 The strangeness of the night
All of them have been arranged." Yan Qing sighed, "But I always feel uneasy."
Logically speaking, Qiandu City was already under control by him, but Qingyun Sect really came to attack. The number of people on both sides was not very different. He also occupied a good area and had a harmonious relationship. Not to mention guarding for seven or eight days, it would be fine for a month or two.
What's more, he received the Duo people's telegram this morning, and reinforcements were already on the way.
When the two sides meet, the Qingyun Sect will either go back in a bad mood or fight against the two armies, which will definitely be more difficult than the military and civilians of Qiandu City.
But Yan Qing couldn't say why, he always felt that he was ominous.
Where is there any mistake?
...
It was late at night and Hu Qiu was sleeping soundly.
He has been staying at the home of a young man Qiu Maoshi recently. This is a fishing village with just over 200 residents. The only advantage is that it is very close to the Fly River. It can be reached by the river after walking thirty feet from the village. The biggest disadvantage is that it is too close to the river, and the villagers like to dry the river on the shore. As long as the wind blows from the river, the smell that comes over is simply fishy.
Qiu Maoshi was a small and dilapidated house, which was like wind everywhere, and it was cool in summer. Hu Qiu was born in the army and didn't care about the thin quilt as iron, so he still slept soundly.
People by the river have no entertainment, so they turn off the lights and go to bed shortly after night. Every family is like this.
However, Hu Qiu was awakened by Qiu Maoshi tonight: "Brother Hu is up, there is something wrong with him!"
When Hu Qiu heard the word "status", he immediately woke up and sat up and put on his clothes: "What's the matter?"
The other two brothers also woke up and were rubbing their eyes.
Qiu Maoshi said hurriedly: "The third brother Chen who lives in our village has just been called away. He should be about to go outside the village now."
"Go and go and have a look."
It was dark outside, and only the dog barked violently. Perhaps the dog owner came out and beat the dog, and the barking quickly disappeared. Qiu Maoshi led Hu Qiu and the other two to shuttle through the shadow of the house to avoid being noticed.
They stopped short and on the edge of the fence of the chicken coop. Qiu Maoshi pointed to the entrance of the village: "Look!"
Hu Qiu looked closely and found that there were five or six people walking out at the entrance of the village. Three of them were dressed by villagers, probably the third brother of Chen, who was mentioned by Qiu Maoshi. They were actually carrying beddings on their backs.
The other three people don't look like civilians in their clothes.
Hu Qiu whispered to the young man: "What's so special about these three people?"
"Boss Chen drives a large ship that can carry 300 people." Qiu Maoshi carefully looked around, "This kind of big ship cannot drive alone, so three brothers can get on together."
Hu Qiu's eyes lit up when he heard this? Touched his head: "In this village? Only Mr. Chen and his family drove a big boat?"
"Yes, everyone else's family has small boats." Qiu Maoshi said? "Old Chen has the best money among everyone. The big boat that was bought last year. When people here have money, they will buy big boats. Is it a transfer to carry thirty or fifty people? It's also a load of two or three hundred people. The more passengers you carry, the more money you make."
So why were the three brothers of the Chen family taken away in the middle of the night? Look at them, they were also yawning, and they were obviously just pulled out of the bed.
It doesn't look like it's voluntary.
Qiu Maoshi said again: "Have the Chen family's fishing boat moored to Yuelong Bay? I haven't given up these ten days. I'm giving some money every day at the ferry? But where can I earn more from my own boat? I heard Boss Chen complain for a few days."
When Hu Qiu heard this, he made a quick decision: "Follow up!"
Yan Sanlang kept them in Hejiadu to monitor the movements here. Local life was boring, and the three of them felt boring for a long time. They finally caught a strange encounter. They all cheered up.
At that moment, the four of them took advantage of the night to sneak out of the village and followed Boss Chen and his party under the cover of the swaying shadows of trees.
It is difficult to walk on the road at night, and the moonlight is dim tonight. Fortunately, Hu Qiu has frequently entered and exited the village recently, and the road is familiar, so there is no sound of kicking.
After walking in front and behind for half an hour? Qiu Maoshi said: "This is going to Yuelong Bay."
All the big ships were parked in Yuelong Bay.
Hu Qiu frowned: What trouble does the Heboat Department want to make?
Sure enough, walking forward more than 200 feet, the terrain is getting lower and lower? A river bay appears ahead.
Hu Qiu has come here to reconnaise many times and knows the terrain of Yuelong Bay? He also knows that there are more than 80 large ships moored here. When he sees it now, he can't help but say "Ouch":
"So many people?"
They hid in the bushes on the slope and looked down? The lights on the river surface.
Many fishermen have the habit of taking boats as their homes? They usually live on boats and rarely land on land. It is not uncommon to light the lights at night. Hu Qiu once saw them at night, and the lights were just sparse. After all, once the fishing boats are idle for ten days and half a month, most people will go ashore to rest, such as the Chen brothers.
However, there are hundreds of lights in Yuelong Bay in front of the four people!
Almost every boat was on, and some were still on two or three.
What's going on?
At this time, people came one after another and went down the slope.
Qiu Maoshi pointed and whispered: "I recognize that fat man, he is from the Habo Department."
"Then the one who brought the boat boss tonight was indeed the Heboat Division." Hu Qiu thought for a while and said to Qiu Maoshi, "You hide here, don't let people find it. Let's go ahead and take a look."
The three of them had excellent skills in light body. At this time, they were covered by night and quietly approached the rocky beach in the river.
There are several large ships moored here.
Hu Qiuyin looked out from the bushes and saw that the fishermen on the boat were busy, they were actually preparing for the boat. A boat had untied its cable and started to sail offshore and headed towards the entrance of the bay.
Just now, the three brothers of the Chen family also came over with the bedding, and it seemed that they were about to leave?
Hu Qiu's heart skipped and patted a brother on the shoulder: "Go back to Xiaozi Qiu's house and wait for us to hear from him." After that, he and the other person were snuckling and sneaked into the water, each choosing one to lie on the side of the boat.
The sound of water gurgled, covering up the sound they made and no one noticed it.
On the shore, the people from the Hakka Division came to urge him.
Within half an hour, the ships they attached started one after another, leaving Yuelong Bay on this unknown night, quietly paddling towards the heart of the river.
The big ship sailed hundreds of feet before Hu Qiu climbed onto the boat and retreated into the cabin to wait quietly.
The inside of these ships was very large, and the boatman had never noticed that there was someone in the cabin and had not come in to check it out, so he took off his clothes and wrung them out calmly.
It was about an hour later that Hu Qiu felt a slight shock in the hull and encountered the entity.
Docked.
Had arriving at the place? Hu Qiu cheered up, sneaked out of the cabin, and looked out.
Where is this?
While the boatmen were busy, he turned over and got off the boat.
...
Before dawn the next day, Qiu Maoshi got up and baked a few noodles and cooked a pot of porridge.
Some customers live at home and are generous. The Qiu family's life is much better. He even added a few eggs when he spread the noodles.
My mother went out after dinner, but Qiu Maoshi sat at the table in a daze. Why haven’t the two of them come back yet? Could there be no accident?
