Chapter 243 Gaoyou Lake Horror

The boatman was shocked. When he looked up, he saw a team of fierce cavalry that had surrounded them. One of the leading generals jumped off the horse: "Your boat will immediately transport this gentleman's things to Yangzhou. It must be wrong to arrive before Tomb-sweeping Day!" The language is murderous.

The boatman didn't even dare to look up at the looks of these cavalry. God, what's the end of this prince? Why are so many tartar cavalry helping him?

"Yes, s Army Master, the small ones must be delivered on time." Half of the old man of the boat didn't dare to say anything and immediately agreed.

He Zhaoyi did not look back. She only listened to the voice, and she knew that it was the expansion of Timur.

"Thank you, General." He Zhaoyi said.

"I don't know if this gentleman can move." Expand the outline and say.

He Zhaoyi had no choice but to follow the expansion and walk to one side.

"Miss He, it's all right. I didn't expect you to leave so soon." Expand the outline and say.

I walked forward for a while, and there was something wrong with the expansion. At this time, in addition to Miss He, there were others who transported two coffins dug out of the earth? Will it be such a coincidence? Is there a man in the car? No, I have to go back and ask. However, when I looked back again, I found that the three carriages in front of me walked on the canal and saw from afar that the figure on and off the car was so familiar.

"Brother Baobao," since his name was called out, He Zhaoyi knew that there was no need to hide everything in front of the expansion: "Please forgive Zhaoyi for leaving without saying goodbye. These days, Zhaoyi has been thinking about sending the remains of his father and eldest brother back for burial. Today, he can finally go back. Thank you to Brother Baobao. "."

"Since you call me big brother, why don't you say thank you?" Expansion Timur (also known as Wang Baobao) said, "It's a long way from here to Yangzhou. I'll send a team of soldiers to protect you. If there are any accidents along the way, it's a good idea to take care of it."

"No, I've already inquired about it. The waterway is relatively safe recently." He Zhaoyi said.

"Okay, have a good trip. I'll come to Dadu in the future. I hope to see you again." Wang Baobao said.

"As long as there is fate, life will not meet." He Zhaoyi said.

Where do you not meet in life? Wang Baobao smiled and said, "I believe that Miss He and I are predestined. Well, it's getting late. You should go on your way earlier."

He Zhaoyi's face turned a little red. She turned her head and walked to the boat.

Two coffins have already been carried onto the boat, and the boss of the boat has become bowed: "Son, please get on the boat carefully."

"If you arrive in Yangzhou, you will be given a lot of money." He Zhaoyi said something and walked towards the boat.

Raise the sail, and the ship began to sail south in the canal. He Zhaoyi stood in the bow of the ship, looked at the cavalry that were gradually disappearing on the shore, sighed, and bowed his head into the cabin.

"Young master, what should we do?" On the embankment on the shore, looking at the ship that had gone far away, Ming Lao said.

Just now, I wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get on the ship, but Wang Baobao came to stir up trouble. Because he was afraid of being found, Minmin did not act rashly.

"It's needless to say, let's just hire another ship and follow behind, right? Anyway, we have a lot of silver. Minmin took out a ingot of silver and knocked on the head of the old man: "Go and hire a boat and follow the ship."

"Yes, young master." Ming Lao stood up and walked to the ferry.

"The old man resigned from the Taishi Mansion in the north, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. The lonely sails were far away, and the sky was full of clouds, and only the canals flowed!" When she got on the boat, Minmin was in a good mood. She stood in the bow of the boat and recited a song "Zhe Dadu" in a beautiful voice. Author: Minmin Timur, no, it should be called Zhao Min.

"Second son, second son, young lady, coming back soon!" In Hefu, Yangzhou, a confidant ran in and said to He Zhaojie, who was teasing birds.? Are you back? Does she dare to come back? I thought she would stay in the Taishi Mansion all the time!

He Zhaojie's face is full of strange colors. He wants to be the head of the He family. However, on his head, there is also an elder brother. Although after years of efforts, the business he manages has greatly improved, the family rule of the He family is that the eldest son inherits his father's business, and only the eldest brother can inherit everything of the He family, and he only I can help my eldest brother.

When he continued to hit, and all the big brother's shares of the business were under his own management, an invisible danger came quietly. He didn't know what his father thought, and what his ancestors thought. His father just wanted to hand over all the business to his eldest brother after punishing his eldest brother. His father was already old.

Let him hand over all the business, which was more uncomfortable than killing him. In desperation, he came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone and take advantage of the influence of the rebels in Gaoyou Mansion to let his father agree to take refuge in most of them. Others can not go, but he can't, because his good daughter has dealings with the anti-thief. If she stays in Yangzhou and is known by the province, the family will be miserable, but the business in the family can't be left behind. He volunteered to take this hot potato and let his father go to the capital.

In addition to taking refuge in Dadu, what can more impress his father is to go to Dadu to develop. The Red Turban Army in the south is so noisy, and the He family's business is becoming more and more sluggish. If you want to continue to develop, it is a good choice to go to most of them, because most of them have a backstage, and no other merchants dare to offend: Taishi escape.

At the beginning, Dad climbed to this friendship, which was really strange. At that time, he was just an idle person at home and came to Yangzhou to play. Dad still folded his knees to make friends. Facts proved that Dad's vision was still very accurate.

In the end, my father was finally moved by this reason. He took most of the money, took his eldest brother and younger sister, and went to Dadu to prepare for a big job in his lifetime. Maybe the He family is expected to become the same rich as the Shen family.

However, Mr. He didn't expect that Jin Yu had a big failure. He had been training the second brother. He just hoped that after he was gone, the second brother could assist the eldest brother to make the family career bigger. In a hidden way, he cultivated the second brother's ambition. Moreover, the second brother had actually had other thoughts. Gold and silver can make a person do beast things.

He Zhaojie hired a group of people, dressed up as a red scarf army, and followed Mr. He's fleet for a few days, trying to take back the silver. He earned all the money and couldn't make it cheaper than the eldest brother. And just as they were about to succeed, a team of cavalry came out of nowhere and rescued the little sister, but they didn't get any money.

He has been looking for an opportunity, but by mistake, the little sister entered the Taishi Mansion, and he has never had a chance since.

Now, the little sister came out of most of the capital and returned to Yangzhou. In the boundary of Yangzhou, something bad happened to the little sister, but if she hadn't arrived in Yangzhou, she would have disappeared. It has nothing to do with herself, right? Especially Gaoyou Lake, where the surface of the lake is so open that she accidentally fell in and drowned, but it has nothing to do with herself, and those silver must come back.

It's the right time to come back!

"Sir, tomorrow is Tomb-sweeping Day. We finally caught up." The boss of the boat said.

Along the way, the boss of the boat has always been very respectful to He Zhaoyi. His home is near most of the capitals, but he doesn't want to anger the Tutar cavalry because of this. Although he doesn't want to install the two coffins, now that he has arrived at his destination, he will no longer be in prison.

"Well, I see." Without the boss of the boat, He Zhaoyi also recognized it. At this time, he had entered Gaoyou Lake, and there was only half a day's waterway away from Yangzhou.

"Xuan Lao." He Zhaoyi said hello.

"Yes, prince, what's the matter?"

"After getting off the ship, hire two more carriages. We will bury the body first."

"Yes, my son."

Suddenly, the boss of the boat's face changed: "Sir, there has always been a boat along the way, sneaking behind."

Is anyone tracking? He Zhaoyi was also shocked: Who will follow him? She looked back. On the vast lake, there were many fishing boats fishing beside her. Where was someone following her? Suspicious?

"No, right?" He Zhaoyi said.

"It's the one in the back. There is a big patch on the sail. I've been feeling something wrong these days. I always see this ship in the back. It seems that most of them are behind." The boss of the boat said.

After most of them, will you keep up? Is it Wang Baobao? I don't think so. He is a general. He usually has enough military affairs, and he will come to Yangzhou with him far away?

"Head of the ship, let's turn around. Is it possible to have a face-to-face with that ship?" He Zhaoyi asked.

"This..." The other party is not good at it. We should try to get rid of it. Why do we have to have a face-to-face? The boss of the ship understood. Is it the acquaintance of the prince on the ship?

"Okay, let's turn around." The boss of the boat said.

It is also troublesome to turn the bow on the water, because it is the north wind. Now sailing south is downwind. If you sail north, you have to constantly adjust the angle between the bow and the sail.

"Half a sail, full rudder on the left." The boat boss began to command several boatmen under his command.

The ship began to turn left, drew a large arc on the surface of the water, and began to swing left and right again, sailing north along the zigzag route.

Wow, the duck you got, do you want to fly? In the small fishing boats around, the thieves poked out their heads one by one. Seeing that the boat in front of them was about to enter their ambush circle, the other party turned back to the north as if they knew?

No, chase! The boss gave the order.

Several fishing boats, unconsciously, quietly turned to the north, and the oars rowed quickly in the water to arrange a new encirclement.

It's getting closer and closer to the ship behind. He Zhaoyi has seen a rich young master standing on the head of the ship, smiling at him.

He Zhaoyi suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted. Princess! ! Why did she follow? Is this so funny? If she makes a mistake, she will be finished. Princess, don't play tricks on people like this, okay?

He Zhaoyi looked back at Xuan Lao beside him. Needless to say, he must know the inside story. No wonder this Xuan Lao sometimes put a strange spark in the sky, and he must have communicated with the back.

The hull flashed by, and He Zhaoyi only saw the princess in the bow. The bright smile was frightening.

"Turn back and be side by side with her boat. I'm going to get on that ship!" He Zhaoyi said to the boss of the ship.

"Son, how is this possible? The two ships are so close that they will collide. The boss of the boat said, "Only when we get ashore can we dock together."

"Then quickly turn the bow and catch up with the ship just now!"

"Yes." The boss of this ship can do it.

The princess's boat has been sailing south, and just now, He Zhaoyi let his boat go north. The two ships looked at each other and went their separate ways. Now that he wants to catch up, he has to turn the bow of the ship and chase him to the south.

"Head," the ship is back. There was a sound of joy in the fishing boat.

"Sp loose immediately, surround the ship, and jump up later!" The boss said.

After chasing all the way, I finally showed my feet in Gaoyou Lake. I have enjoyed the scenery along the way enough. In Dadu, it is still a vast cold wind, and here, there is already a green grass, and spring is everywhere. Minmin asked the boatman to put the sail in half, slowed down, and waited for He Zhaoyi to catch up.

The small fishing boats around

are getting closer and closer, but neither of the two ships paid attention.

"Head, why do these two ships seem to be in the group?" A pirate found something unusual.

A group of people? The pirate leader looked at the two ships. Well, send two ships to target the ship in front of him, mainly to besiege the one in the back!

Gradually, the two ships were getting closer and closer. He Zhaoyi looked at Minmin, who was still on the deck, and shouted, "Young master, how are you doing at home?" When she asked, she naturally asked Minmin how she came out.

"The family is very good. The old man is busy these days." Minmin replied loudly.

"Son, these ships are not good!" One wave after another, the boss of the boat looked at the fishing boat, which was only a dozen feet away. After a lot of weather, he immediately knew that the situation was not good.

Why are you not good at it again? He Zhaoyi turned his head and found that at some point, the left and right strings of the boat surrounded five small fishing boats.

Without the explanation of the boss of the boat, He Zhaoyi also knows that something is wrong. What are these fishing boats doing around their side? There is only one possibility: they are the big fish they want to catch!

"Accelerate!" He Zhaoyi said.

It's too late!

"Wh, th, thuff." Several flying claws were thrown over by the boatman on the surrounding fishing boat and fell on the deck.

The boss of the boat immediately wanted to pick it up and throw it back. Before he moved, his claws had been tightened.

"Cut the rope quickly!" The boss of the boat ordered.

Without the order of the boss of the ship, several boatmen on the ship also know that they met pirates this time. These arrogant guys dare to run rampant in Gaoyou Lake in broad daylight?

It's just that it's too close. Before they could cut it off, they felt that the hull was shaking back and forth, and the other side's boat had hit the big ship.

Their faces suddenly turned like dead ashes. They were approached by the other party and then got on the boat. It was very likely that they would kill people and cross the goods. I'm afraid they all have to feed the bastards in the river today.

Pirates with big knives in their mouths gushed out of the cabin and began to climb up to the big ship. The big boat is not much higher, and the rope has been tightened. You can climb the big boat without much effort at all.

"Bang!" A boatman picked up the bamboo stick and poked a pirate who climbed up into the water. But then, another pirate climbed up, cut off the bamboo stick with a knife, and cut him into the water.

He Zhaoyi was dumbfounded. She couldn't swim. These boatmans couldn't compete with these fierce guys. What should they do? She even regretted that she should not refuse Wang Baobao's kindness. There was a team of soldiers to protect them. Just a few bows and arrows could shoot these guys back.

More than a dozen pirates have jumped on the boat. He Zhaoyi took a step back, but suddenly stepped on the boat and could not retreat any more.

What should I do? She looked at the two coffins in the cabin. Before she took the remains of her father and eldest brother back to be buried, she was going to be buried in Gaoyou Lake.

"Son, we have to dive. If it's too late, I'm afraid we'll all be buried here." Xuan Lao said.

"Can you swim?"

"No."

What else do you want to jump? Jump down and die faster!

Xuan Lao is loyal to the Lord. He has been in front of He Zhaoyi. A pirate has run to the front of Xuan Lao, raised the big knife in his hand, and was about to cut it down.

"Fire!" Xuan Lao quickly took out something from his pocket and only spilled it, and the clothes on the pirate in front of him were there.

"Ah!" He screamed and jumped into the water. It was common sense that water could put out the fire, but strangely, when he got into the water, the fire became more vigorous.

"Who dares to touch my son, this is the end!" Xuan Lao shouted loudly.

The boatman was shocked, and the pirates were also shocked. Unexpectedly, these lamb-like people still have such a hand!

Only He Zhaoyi knows that Xuan Lao is called Xuan Lao because he likes to play with fire, or a juggling. The things he just took out can only be used once. If the pirates see through it and come forward again, I'm afraid they will have to help the boat.

It's just that the pirate's screams that fell into the water were still coming, and they didn't dare to come forward.

The scene suddenly froze.

Minmin also found that He Zhaoyi was in danger and wanted to order the boatman to turn back to the rescue, but the boatman didn't agree. Can a few people with bare hands, plus her, a rich young master, be the opponents of those pirates with knives? They could only die for nothing when they went up. In hesitation, they saw two arrow-like boats rushing towards them.

"Full sail, let's go!" The boatman panicked and said that he saw a ghost today. When did so many water ghosts come out in Gaoyou Lake?

Minmin looked at the ship behind from afar and saw that the pirates had boarded He Zhaoyi's ship. When she saw the killed boatman, she immediately felt a rush of sour water in her throat. She quickly closed her eyes.

"Wow, wow!" At this moment, there was a sound similar to a conch on the lake in the distance, but much louder than the sound, which alarmed the wild birds on the lake and the pirates who were in stalemate.

What is that? On the lake in the distance, a monster appeared: thick black smoke, and there were two huge water wheels on both sides. On both sides of the monster, there were several "big noses" that stretched out. They did not hang sails, but drove over at a very fast speed.

At this moment, the curiosity about the unknown is higher than their fear of death.
