From eunuch to emperor

In Jiangnan City, the waiter went up to the second floor with a food plate and knocked on the door.

"Guest, your meal is ready."

"Please come in."

The waiter pushed the door open and entered, Long Chen was sitting cross-legged inside.

The waiter entered the door, closed the door, and put the food on the table.

"My lord, news from Jiangtou Village."

The waiter in the shop submitted the secret report. This waiter was from Xichang, and he passed on all the news.

Long Chen received a secret report, which said that five people with his entourage had arrived at Jiangtou Village, and they probably took a boat down the river.

Long Chen walked this route, as long as he entered the big river, he could go ashore in many places, so he couldn't choose the place to ambush in advance.

"Let the brothers set up an ambush in Feiyu Town and Youlong Town, hurry up!"

The waiter immediately went downstairs to deliver the message.

The boat came out of Jiangtou Village, the river was so long, and his followers could go ashore at any place, it was impossible for Long Chen to deploy defenses along the river.

From Jiangtou Village, the first place to arrive is Feiyu Town, and twenty miles downstream is Youlong Town, where the water flow is gentle.

If the entourage goes ashore in this section, it happens to be surrounded and killed.

If they don't go ashore, Long Chen will intercept the passenger ship, and the calm water is also conducive to intercepting and killing them.

After taking a sip of water, Long Chen immediately went downstairs, put a piece of silver on the counter, and immediately rode his horse upstream.

Soon, Long Chen arrived in Youlong Town.

This town is very lively. The fishermen are fishing in the river, and the people are doing business and farming on the shore.

This area has been controlled by Dazhou, and there is no threat of war, so you don't have to worry about war.

At this time, it is Sishi, when the sun is rising.

Long Chen didn't wear a veiled hat to shade the sun, it was too eye-catching.

Arriving in Youlong Town, Long Chen went into a wine shop.

The bartender came over and greeted warmly: "Guest, what do you want to drink?"

Long Chen said: "Bring a bowl of wine that can make you drunk."

The bartender smiled and said: "Guest, we can get drunk with the wine here."

Long Chen said: "I'll get drunk as soon as I want a bowl."

The bartender's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "That's precious."

Long Chen took out a dozen or so pennies from his sleeve, and said, "I just need one bowl to get drunk."

The bartender immediately took the money and said, "This wine is at the back, the guests come with me."

Long Chen got up, went to the backyard, entered a room, closed the door, and the bartender bowed, "I have seen King Wu."

Long Chen asked: "Any news?"

The bartender said: "Not yet, but it's coming soon. You must be here before noon."

Counting the time, if you don't see him by noon, you've slipped away.

In ancient times, message transmission was inconvenient. Even if Feiying could transmit the message quickly, it would not be too fast.

"Okay, prepare a boat. If there is no news at noon, I will go to the river to intercept."

The bartender went to do it immediately, and Long Chen was waiting in the backyard.

Flying Fish Town.

He Juntao disguised himself as a fish seller and walked along the river with a basket on her shoulders.

A passenger ship with Zhou characters written on the sails.

This was a boat with five people in his entourage. He Juntao immediately walked to a stall, put down his basket, and said, "I'll give you this fish for a cheap price."

The stall owner glanced at the fish and said, "Your fish is not good, I don't want it."

He Juntao glanced at the boat that was about to dock, and said, "It's coming, let the brothers prepare, don't do anything, just follow!"

Long Chen had ordered that no one should fight with his followers, because their cultivation base was very high, and the people from the West Factory would die if they fought.

The stall owner immediately said: "Okay."

He Juntao walked towards the pier with a basket on his shoulders. The stall owner put down his sharp knife and went back to the house to call everyone to get ready.

pier.

Zhou's boat docked slowly, and a group of passengers got off the boat.

He Juntao walked to the pier with a basket on his shoulders, and yelled: "Fresh river fish, buy it back and greet your mother-in-law."

Passengers hurried down, saying as they walked, "It's so damn unlucky that there are dead people."

"Isn't it? He died suddenly, and there are still three."

"Boss Zhou is the most unlucky, he died on his boat."

"There's nothing bad about it. Just throw it into the river. Who cares if it's out of the Dazhou boundary?"

He Juntao felt bad, someone died on board, maybe it was someone from his side.

After waiting for a while, no entourage came off the boat, nor did He Juntao get off the boat. He Juntao immediately grabbed a passenger and asked, "Brother, my younger brother came back by boat, why did he disappear?"

Seeing He Juntao's eyes widened, the passenger asked, "What does your brother look like?"

He Juntao said: "There is a blue birthmark on the left ear."

The passenger's expression changed, and he said, "Oh, your brother died on the boat, and suddenly he vomited blood and died."

He Juntao murmured inwardly that something was wrong, something really happened.

"What about my brother's body?"

The passenger said: "I threw it into the river. At that time, I scared away five people. Those five people were also amazing. They actually jumped from Boss Zhou's boat to Li's boat."

That is to say, the entourage found out that they were being followed, and after killing the spies, the entourage changed boats on the river.

Their cultivation base is very high, and it is not difficult to change ships on the river.

"My poor brother..."

He Juntao pretended to sob, and ran to the stall with the basket.

The passenger shook his head and sighed, "What a pity..."

He Juntao entered the stall's room, and immediately said: "Immediately, Flying Eagle sent a letter to Long Town, and they changed to Li's boat and ran away."

The subordinates immediately sent the eagle to send a letter to Youlong Town.

Youlong Town.

Long Chen had been waiting in the backyard, when the bartender hurried in and said, "They took the Li family's boat, so they might go down the river."

Everything is just a possibility, which can only be inferred from intelligence and cannot be determined.

This interception mission is very troublesome, and there is an element of luck. If you happen to meet it, you can intercept it halfway. If you miss it, it's just bad luck.

Long Chen immediately went to the pier, and the bartender brought two people with good water skills onto the boat.

A fast boat sailed to the center of the river, waiting for the passing passenger ship.

Long Chen waited in Jiangxin until the end of noon, and finally saw the Li family's boat.

This is a cargo ship, not a passenger ship.

Seeing the sail of the Li family, the bartender was overjoyed, Long Chen jumped up and flew onto the cargo ship of the Li family by himself.

Seeing Long Chen flying over, the captain Li Wangcai exclaimed: "Damn it, why are there people who can fly today!"

Long Chen lightly landed on the boat, holding a three-foot wooden sword in his hand.

"This...hero, are you taking a boat?"

The owner of the ship, Li Wangcai, didn't know what Long Chen meant, if he said robbery, he was holding a wooden sword.

If not, why did you fly here?

This confused Li Wangcai, the owner of the ship.

Long Chen didn't notice the dangerous aura, and asked: "Five people boarded your boat on the way, where are they?"

Li Wangcai, the owner of the ship, said: "They...have come ashore."

Landed?

Long Chen secretly said in his heart: You are smart, change the boat halfway, and go ashore halfway.

"Where did you land?"

Long Chen asked, Li Wangcai, the owner of the boat, was taken aback, and said: "In Zhangwu Village ahead, I just got off the boat."

Zhangwu Village is about five miles away from Youlong Town. From Zhangwu Village to the south, it only needs to go south for more than 50 miles to enter the boundary of Beiling City, which is the place guarded by Tong Yuan.

The bartender rowed over, Long Chen ignored it, but flew up from the cargo ship, stepped on the river and returned to the shore.

Li Wangcai, the owner of the ship, was shocked: "God, you can fly on the river!"
