Yang Guo led his detectives and continued their pursuit eastward along the river.
Half an hour later, the naval patrol along the river also arrived.
"At the end of the naval inspection, Commander Pei Wang met with General Yang!"
Navy inspection, seventh grade.
This person is not very old, that is, around twenty-three or four years old. He can be regarded as an outstanding talent to be able to achieve this position.
If it were Blue Star, twenty-four would be at the same level... It would be unthinkable.
Of course, except for those like Yang Guo who were promoted with military merit, even his master Yang Qingyuan studied in the Hanlin Academy for five years.
In general, ability and qualifications are equally important.
Because ability cannot be quantified, but qualifications are there.
If there were no qualifications, I don’t know how many outstanding young second-generation officials would emerge.
But seniority is often linked to time. No matter how powerful you are or how rich you are, it will be difficult to interfere with the movement of time.
The matter of qualifications may seem rigid, but from another perspective, he is also ensuring fairness.
Because of the existence of seniority, many people who are born rich are unwilling to work hard at the grassroots level.
"Inspector Pei, we meet again!" When Yang Guo inspected Jiangfang before, he had a conversation with the young and promising Inspector Pei.
This person is indeed a rare talent, with unique insights into water warfare and river defense. Yang Guo originally wanted to transfer him to his subordinates, but this person had just been promoted to navy inspection, so it would be inappropriate for him to be promoted again.
"General Yang, the conversation that day was quite inspiring to the general. I am honored to be able to serve under General Yang again today, which is also my wish!"
Young people and young soldiers always get along better with each other!
Guo Jing, who was on the side, was very pleased to see that although Yang Guo was young, he was already acting appropriately.
He couldn't help but feel even more fortunate that Yang Guo had met Yang Qingyuan. He knew that if he and his wife had found Yang Guo first, Yang Guo might not be as outstanding as he is today.
Now that Yang Guo is so promising, he can be considered accountable to Uncle Tiexin and Sister Nianci.
"Inspection Pei, have you ever seized any prohibited items during the Navy's inspections and various passes during the recent period, or have you discovered any traces of Japanese pirates?"
Pei Shiwang recalled for a moment and then said, "Back to General Yang, in this month from February 14th to today, the Inspection Department has seized a total of forty-seven cargo ships carrying contraband."
Pei Shiwang's business ability can be clearly seen from the fact that he can tell you the results of his work in one month.
"However, most of them were smuggled overseas and evaded taxes, and the amount was small. They always paid back the taxes and then fined them. Among them, nine ships smuggled goods with a relatively large value and were seized... But Indeed, no trace of Japanese pirates was found.”
Because it was related to Japanese pirates, coupled with the people he had rescued along the river and the unmanned boats he found, Yang Guo concluded that this group of people was likely to flee at sea.
But now the Dajiang Inspection Department has not found anything, which is puzzling.
"General Yang, what are you pursuing? Is it convenient to inform the general?"
Yang Guo glanced at Pei Shiwang. He had checked this person's file and it was very clean. He should be able to trust it.
"Inspection Pei, a group of bandits from Da Zhou colluded with Japanese pirates and kidnapped several warriors from the Emei Sect of Da Zhou. The purpose is temporarily unknown. But there must be a conspiracy. I am tracking them now. Inspection Pei has been at the seaport all year round. and patrolling the river, they must be more familiar with this place than me, what do you think?!"
Pei Shiwang knew that Yang Guo had officially included him in his team and participated in the operation. He didn't show any pretense and immediately got into work.
"General, are you sure this group of people will flee to sea?!"
Yang Guo nodded, "I'm 80% sure!"
After contacting the Japanese pirates among the mysterious group of people and the unmanned ship found on the river before the outlet that day, it is almost certain that they are going to escape to the sea.
Because Yang Guo's appearance was accidental, those people must not have expected it. Therefore, their original plan was to take a boat to the east.
We are already in Jiangyin now, and if we go further east, we will reach the East China Sea!
"If so, is it possible that these people abandoned the ship and headed east overland to the seaside because they discovered something unusual that day."
"That should be it?! But for them, the plan has changed," Yang Guo nodded listening to Pei Shiwang's guess, which was similar to his guess. Rather than hiding in a nearby city, Yang Guo preferred that the group continue to flee at sea.
Yangzhou was the Yangzhou of the imperial court, an important tax town and a sacred land.
The power of the Six Gates of Yangzhou is also among the top three in the world. If such a large group of people stayed in Yangzhou, they would be discovered sooner or later.
As long as the person in charge is not stupid, he will not choose to take the risk and stay in Yangzhou.
"Inspection Pei, is there a secret port nearby that can accommodate large ships?"
"General Yang, wait a moment!" Pei Shiwang took out a map from his subordinates.
"General Yang, please look at this area. Except for the seaport, there are many rocks. There are only two ports within a hundred miles that can accommodate large ships. The rest can only be docked by small ships."
Yang Guo looked at the map and saw that it was indeed true. Of course, there were ports hundreds of miles away that could accommodate large ships.
But the nearest place is more than 120 miles away from their current location, which is too far.
This port was not their original plan, but an alternative plan after the original plan was destroyed by Yang Guo, so this port must not be too far away.
Otherwise, a large group of people would have to travel a long distance with the people of the Emei Sect, and it would be difficult to ensure their own safety.
"They should have gone to one of these two ports."
Inspector Pei didn't say much nonsense after hearing this, and immediately introduced, "General Yang, Anlang Port is close to here and is also one of the most prosperous ports in Yangzhou. Dingbo Port is a port in Yangzhou in the old days, but The mountain roads nearby are relatively difficult to navigate. After the construction of Anlang Port was completed, Dingbo Port gradually declined. Now it has become a port shared by fishermen, mainly fishing boats.
Which port did General Yang think the group would go to? ! "
Yang Guo frowned slightly and did not answer immediately. He analyzed and concluded that this was not his strong point in the first place.
Yang Guo's talent was to make decisions based on the situation.
"Pei inspection, is there a garrison at Dingbo Port now?"
"Yes, to prevent large-scale smuggling of goods, the imperial court has troops stationed at every port. Even though Dingbo Port has declined, there are still troops stationed there. The more declining the port, the more You have to be careful, someone will take advantage of you if you are not careful.”
Yang Guo nodded when he heard this, "According to this, Anlang Port is more likely!"
There are quite a few people in that group of mysterious people. The appearance of such a large group of people in the declining Dingbo Port will definitely arouse the vigilance of the local garrison. On the contrary, Anlang Port was originally extremely prosperous, with caravans coming and going, but it was inconspicuous when blended in.
"General Yang, what do you mean, we go to Anlang Port?"
"No..., we are divided into two groups!" Yang Guo was not absolutely confident in his deduction, so he chose to take them all.
A large group of people followed him to Anlang Port to find out what was going on, and a small group of people went to Dingbo Port to find out the news.

--------------------------
Yuzhou County, night.
In the silent night, Yang Qingyuan stood bored and stood on a tree outside Tangjiabao.
The land of Yizhou was originally full of poisonous insects, snakes and ants, but not a single mosquito came close to Yang Qingyuan within a ten-foot radius.
In the realm of law, heaven and earth, just a slight emission of one's own Qi is enough to make those poisonous insects, snakes and ants stay away and not dare to get close.
A large self-propelled mosquito repellent device, nothing more than that.
Yang Qingyuan gnawed on the chicken legs and drank the fruit juice while paying attention to the movements in Tangjiabao.
Although Li Changyuan's martial arts is good, he is only in the realm of Yuanhua. If he is really discovered by people from the Tang Sect, he may not be able to protect himself.
After all, it was Yang Qingyuan who tricked him, so he naturally couldn't abandon him. Besides, rescuing Li Changyuan would save the court and himself a large sum of work-related injury compensation.
Just when Yang Qingyuan finished eating two chicken legs and one chicken wing, something suddenly happened in the Tang Sect.
The alarm bell sounded in Tangjiapu at night.
Yang Qingyuan glanced at Tangjiabao. In just two quarters of an hour, Li Changyuan was discovered, faster than he imagined!
Tangjiabao, which originally only had patrol lights, lit up in a short time.
"There is an infiltrator, chase him quickly!"
…
"Don't let him get away!"
…
"This is our hidden weapon trap. This little thief can't escape!"
…
Looking at more and more people around him, Li Changyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Marquis Yang still looked up to him. Of course, Li Changyuan also felt that he was a little conceited.
Although the Tang Sect cannot compare with its heyday, its mechanisms are still sharp.
Li Changyuan had just deceived three teams of patrolling troops, and even several Tongmai realm warriors, but in the end he activated a mechanism without checking, causing him to be discovered.
Just when he was regretting his carelessness, a subtle sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded in his ears. Li Changyuan subconsciously turned to one side and dodged the three silver needles coming from behind.
Li Changyuan saw the faint green light shining on the tips of these three silver needles by the firelight. They were obviously poisoned. If he accidentally got one of these needles, it would be great fun!

Just when Li Changyuan avoided these three silver needles and entered a courtyard, he suddenly stepped on another mechanism accidentally.
Dozens of arrows were shot out from between the gaps in the rockery in the courtyard. Li Changyuan had no choice but to draw out the saber on his waist to block them.
He originally used a sword, but in order to hide his identity, he specially brought a sharp knife, which is the most common in the world.
"Quick, block him!"
Just when Li Changyuan blocked the arrow and was about to continue running away, a voice came from the front.
Li Changyuan expressed his embarrassment and was blocked from both sides.
He could also climb over the wall and leave, but at this moment, the high places in the attics of Tang Sect were already filled with people. He doesn't have the mysterious light skills of Yang Qingyuan, who can change directions in the air. If he dares to go to high places, he will be shot into a hedgehog by accident.
"Run! Run! Keep running!" Seeing Li Changyuan stop, a Tang Sect Yuan Hua realm warrior who had been chasing him immediately jumped up.
At the same time, Tang Wei from the Tang Sect also stood in front of Li Changyuan and struck out.
Seeing that he could no longer dodge, Li Changyuan could only take action and strike a blow with Tang Wei.
The palms of both sides shook each other. Li Changyuan's martial arts was naturally superior to Tang Wei's, but because he did not dare to expose his own martial arts, he restrained himself.
"Why did you break into our Tang Sect late at night?" Tang Wei asked instead of rushing to attack.
Li Changyuan remained silent. He felt that the question Tang Wei asked had its own problems.
Wearing a night suit, he sneaked into Tangjiabao quietly at night. What could he do? !
You can't tell people this kind of thing!
If you ask this question, how should others answer it?
You can't say that you are running at night and pass by here!
"Your Excellency, if you don't say anything, are you looking down on my Tang Clan?!" Tang Wei's face turned cold.
Li Changyuan said tentatively, "Actually, I'm just here to test Tangjiabao's agency information. If I say this, can you believe it!?"
Tang Wei's expression turned colder when he heard this, "No pig would believe this ridiculous excuse. Do you treat me like a three-year-old child?!"
Tang Wei felt that he had been insulted.
Li Changyuan expressed his innocence when he saw Tang Wei's reaction. If I don't tell you, you think I'm arrogant, but if I tell you, you don't believe it. It's really hard!
"Brother Wei, what nonsense are you talking to him about? You'll know after he's arrested!"
This person is Tang Feng, the head of the Tang Sect's Chuanfeng Hall, who is in charge of the Tang Sect's message delivery and intelligence collection.
"Brother Feng, be careful, this person's martial arts is not weak!" Tang Wei had just exchanged palms with Li Changyuan. Although he did not use his full strength, the other party obviously held back. He was not a simple person.
Tang Feng disagreed with Tang Wei's reminder.
Although he is not an arrogant and careless person, he is already surrounded by people in the Tang Sect and cannot make any trouble.
"Brother Wei, don't worry, this person has been surrounded by us. If we can still let him run away, I might as well take his surname!"
How to lose when flying dragon rides on the face? ! Tell me how to lose? !
If nothing else happens, there will be an accident next.
Just when Tang Feng was about to take action, a round man in black appeared out of nowhere and struck out with a palm towards Tang Feng who was about to take action.
"drink!"
When Tang Feng saw this, he also punched him. His powerful bull demon fist was so powerful that it could kill a cow with one punch. It was not something that ordinary people could do head-on.
But when the two sides compared it, Tang Feng realized that he had been careless.
Extremely powerful palm power surged continuously from the opponent's palm, sending Tang Feng flying with just one breath.
"Prajna Palm?! Are you from Shaolin Temple?!"
In the end, Tang Feng's eyes were filled with shock. This was clearly Shaolin's Prajna Palm.
Prajna Palm is one of the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin. It can produce extremely powerful palm power from a distance, which is extremely mysterious. If you continue to practice it, it will be endless. The more you practice, the stronger your palm power will be, and the more you practice, the more pure your moves will become.
This is a secret among the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin that has not been passed down to others. It has been specially studied by the masters of the Prajna Hall of the Shaolin School and will never be passed on to others.
This intruder actually has something to do with Shaolin.
But the visitor clearly didn't want to delay any longer. After sending Tang Feng flying with one palm, he grabbed Li Changyuan and jumped out of the encirclement while jumping around.
The Tang Sect disciples at high places fired hidden weapons one after another, but they were able to hit this man.
"You're leaving, there's no need to give it away. By the way, my good friend's surname is Li! Don't forget to change your surname! Hahaha!"
