pier!
Xu Lingxiu has arrived, and naturally the second generation ancestor has also arrived. It seems that the two of them are doing well.
Of course, Lin Bai didn't care about this, what was important was the shield.
With the second generation ancestor as a shield, he didn't panic.
"Okay! Everyone is here, let's set off!"
Following Lin Bai's order, the ship slowly left the dock. There were still as many people as when it came. The other two ships were still going through the process, which was fast.
But Lin Bai was too lazy to wait, because the Fire Cloud was going to leave soon.
Starting in front of the opponent can avoid arousing suspicion, but following behind does not, so...
"Second Master, that boy is already on his way."
At the same time, Liu Jingming had received the news, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, "So fast? He didn't wait for the other two ships?"
Liu Changqing said: "Yandao Yamen is not making things difficult, so it doesn't matter."
"However, this kid really has no defense at all. If we wait for everyone to come together, Biaozi and the others will be in more trouble. It's better now. It's just a boat like this, and a few water ghosts can take care of it."
Liu Jingming sneered and said: "You are a scholar after all. You can promote your writing, but when you really encounter things, you will just do what is in the book."
"Without further delay, let's send the news to Biaozi immediately. In addition, it's time for us to hit the road and watch the show on the way."
Liu Changqing nodded, "Okay!"
"By the way! Has the Fire Cloud set off?"
"Let's set out immediately. Do we want to keep them out of the way?"
Liu Jingming shook his head, "No need, the time for the beacon checkpoint has been set. It is more secure at this time and I am too lazy to mess around. Moreover, the route of the Fire Cloud is far away from that kid, so it won't be in the way."
Liu Changqing nodded, "The little one is going to prepare."
Above the river.
The ship went upstream, and Lin Bai was still standing on the deck. At this time, Lao Mo came over and said, "Those two informants started sending messages."
Lin Bai nodded and asked, "Just the two of them?"
When Old Mo heard this, a look of indignation appeared on his face, and he immediately said: "There are also two veterans who just arrived not long ago. They must have been bribed early in the morning to sneak in and keep an eye on the young master."
"Fortunately, the old team from Jiangzhou are absolutely reliable. I asked them to keep an eye on these newcomers before I discovered them."
Lin Bai was not surprised either.
Su's Clothing Village has recruited so many veterans, and those who are interested will definitely not let go of such an opportunity.
"Let them be! Don't disturb them yet."
Lin Bai paused and asked again: "Has our news been sent out?"
"Don't worry, young master, it has been sent out."
Lao Mo replied, "But, wouldn't this be too risky?"
Lin Bai's original plan was very simple. He would use the other party's informant to spread false information, so that the other party would miss the opportunity. He could easily find a place to hide in Qinghu Lake eight hundred miles away, and he would naturally be able to avert the danger.
On the other hand, all he had to do was notify Zhang Shangqing's people to search for the Huoyun.
Before coming, he had already reached a cooperation with the other party using salt production technology. Zhang Shangqing was originally the governor of Jiangnan, and it was his duty to combat Tianzhu hemp, so he was naturally very happy.
Prince Ning's words reminded him that the salt affairs involved too much and he couldn't handle it alone. Instead of doing this, the best choice was to take the initiative to give it to Zhang Shangqing.
First of all, the other party is the governor of Jiangnan, which can be helpful to me during the provincial examination, and he values me very much.
The three ladies may still depend on him for their business.
Secondly, the Jiangnan Salt League was in disarray, and it was just like that to the other party. There was also a personal relationship with the water transport.
Of course, this was his previous plan.
But it's different now. Liu Jingming is here, and he must lure the other party to the Fire Cloud to collect the stolen goods personally.
Moreover, four informants have been discovered for the time being. It’s hard to say whether there are other informants secretly. If there are still, his plan to hide is ruined, it may be more dangerous.
So, he decided to take the plunge.
He could guess that Liu Jing must be not far behind him, waiting to see how he died.
"It doesn't matter, you have to give it a try if you take the risk. Besides, we still have a second generation ancestor."
Half a day later!
The ship finally entered Qinghu Lake. Compared with the previous two days, the fog on the lake today was heavier and visibility was lower.
Liu Jingming stood on the deck, looking ahead, with a sneer on his lips, "With such heavy fog, it's really a good time to take action."
"good!"
Liu Changqing replied, "Under such circumstances, don't say that the naval camp will not come. Even if it comes, it will be in vain. How can we find Qinghu Lake, which is eight hundred miles away?"
At this time, someone picked up a piece of bamboo from the lake and handed it to Liu Changqing.
Liu Jingming asked: "How?"
"Everything is normal. The kid is still taking the same route he came from. He is about to enter the area where the gangsters are."
Liu Changqing replied, thought for a moment and then asked: "Second Master, if they suddenly change direction, can Biaozi notice it?"
Liu Jingming smiled and said, "That's why we are looking for the boat gang. No one is more familiar with them in this eight-hundred-mile Qinghu Lake. As long as you are targeted by them, no matter how you escape, it will be in vain."
"Just wait and see! I should be keeping an eye on him by now."
As he expected, the ship was indeed targeted.
Lao Mo noticed it immediately and reported quickly, "Sir, something is wrong. Fishermen are appearing around one after another. We are probably being targeted."
very good!
Lin Bai raised the corner of his mouth and took out a piece of paper, "Go here! At full speed!"
"Second Master, they changed direction and moved very quickly. They must have noticed it and wanted to escape!"
Liu Changqing said while examining the bamboo pieces.
Liu Jingming sneered, "It's too late. Wherever you can run away at this time, you will die wherever you run."
In the mist-shrouded Qinghu Lake, several ships passed quickly. As news of the bamboo slips came one after another, the smile on Liu Jingming's face became more and more ferocious.
It was as if he had seen the embarrassed appearance of a certain great talent.
At this time, Liu Changqing picked up a piece of bamboo again, but his expression was a little strange, "How could it be such a coincidence? The direction they fled seems to be where the Fire Cloud is."
What?
Liu Jingming's expression changed and he immediately asked: "Does Biaozi know that the Huoyun entered Qinghu today?"
Liu Changqing was startled, "I don't think he knows. I didn't tell him."
"Second Master, are you worried that Biaozi will accidentally damage the Huoyun? No, there are marks on it, and Biaozi can recognize it at a glance."
Liu Jingming said anxiously: "It's useless for him to recognize it. Those water ghosts in the boat gang don't recognize it. They might think it is another veteran logistics ship. If they dig through the bottom of the ship, it will be all in vain."
"Besides, the fog is so heavy, Biaozi and his party are outside..."
"Quick! Notify Biaozi immediately."
Liu Changqing looked embarrassed, "Second Master, this is Qinghu Lake, we are still downstream, and the boat gang is chasing us, so we can't notify you."
"Damn it!"
Hearing this, Liu Jingming couldn't help but cursed.
Liu Changqing said: "Second Master, Qinghu Lake is so big, they may not be able to encounter it."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
Liu Jingming said: "Quick! Chase after us at full speed, don't let anything happen to the Fire Cloud."
