"Damn it, they're just soldiers from the Inspection Department, rush over!"
Xu He estimated that Hall Master Wenxiang's face was distorted with anger.
The Inspection Department is a bit like the police station of later generations.
It turns out that Xu He's uncle Xie Bin is the head of the Inspection Department. These people are usually responsible for maintaining local security. Speaking of combat effectiveness, they have it, but not much.
But once these people stick to him, most of the soldiers in the Inspection Department are native-born in their hometowns, and they quickly stick to him like dog-skin plaster.
Moreover, the inspection department would set up checkpoints at key water and land crossings. For example, when Xu He came here, he saw a water village on the Caohe River. If the demons of the White Lotus Sect continued to rush north, they would be trapped in the water village as soon as the gate of the water village fell.
Xu He was predicting the development of the situation in the bilge, while the big ship was in chaos.
The inspection department's standard equipment for patrolling the river is a bow and arrow. At this moment, those people, led by a bearded man, were shooting arrows at the big ship.
Although there are only five people on the inspection ship, and although these bows are soft and not very lethal, if they are shot, given the current level of treatment, it will still kill someone.
The leader of Wenxiang Hall, who was so coaxing last night, didn't even dare to raise his head at the moment. He just kept urging his men to pull the sail, shake the oar and rush over.
The Inspection Department's boat was very small. Seeing the big boat ramming into it, the bearded man was not in a hurry and ordered someone to point the boat away while he continued to lead his men to shoot at the big boat with bows and arrows.
The big ship had just pushed away the inspection department's ship, but before it had gone very far, the people on the ship saw flames soaring into the sky in the distance. After a while, it seemed to be artificially suppressed and turned into a smoldering state, and thick smoke billowed straight into the sky.
"Ma De, the water village of the City North Inspection Department is just ahead, we can't go any further!" As soon as the leader of Wenxiang Hall spat on the river, a crisp sound of "duh" came from the side of the boat next to him.
Hall Master Wenxiang was startled, and Dwarf quickly looked to the side, only to see that the arrow was still trembling as it was nailed to the side of the ship.
He was so frightened that he never dared to stand up again, and said to He Liangchang beside him: "Quickly, get off the boat, we can't leave anymore!"
He Liangchang burst into tears and felt regretful.
These demons of the White Lotus Sect are all desperadoes. It's okay for them to escape, but they are the hereditary grain chief from the time of the Grand Ancestor, and they are one of the most wealthy families on the south bank of Qin Lake.
If these inspectors caught him and found out that he was evil, then his big tile-roofed house and all the materials saved by generations of his family would be reduced to ashes.
Just when he was thinking wildly, the big boat suddenly hit the river bank. Hall Master Wenxiang and others were still observing the pursuers behind them. Unexpectedly, they turned around and saw that a man dressed in white had jumped off the boat and landed ashore and escaped far away.
"Damn, this little girl's legs and feet are so good!" Hall Master Wenxiang found that the saint had escaped on his own, and he could no longer block his words. He actually cursed the saint in the sect in front of everyone under his command.
But everyone had no time to care about this at this time, so they all jumped off the boat and prepared to escape.
At this time, they no longer cared about Xu He and others in the bottom cabin. When these people came ashore, they hated their parents for missing two legs and ran away crazily towards the east.
On the small boat of the Inspection Department in the water, a soldier from the Inspection Department asked the bearded man: "Inspection, shouldn't we pursue him?"
The inspector said: "Chase, why don't you chase them? You lead people to chase them from a distance, don't get too close, just stick to them!"
The commander was dumbfounded: "What about you?"
The big man with the beard slapped him on the head with his hand like a cattail leaf fan and said, "I'll go take a look at their ship!"
In fact, Xu He's guess just now was only half correct.
It was indeed Xu Song who contacted the local inspection team and asked them to find Xu He.
But when they arrived at the waiter's house, they found that they had already left because they were avoiding the spy.
The patrol immediately drove the boat towards Hailing and chased him.
Unexpectedly, he actually discovered that the people on a ship were very suspicious.
When he boarded the ship for inspection, he deliberately accepted the bribe from Chief He Liang, knowing that these people were guilty and must be trying to hide something.
What's wrong with collecting some money on weekdays? Just turn a blind eye and let people go.
But that's not possible today. He has to take money and arrest people.
When the bearded man got on the boat with a knife in his hand, he found that everyone on the boat had fled.
Just when he thought he had encountered some gangster, he suddenly heard someone kicking the floor of the cabin.
His eyes lit up and he quickly opened the hatch of the bottom cabin.
After Xu He suddenly regained his sight, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was a bearded man, who looked at him with joy and said: "Master He, damn, I should show my face in front of the great master! "
Just when Xu He looked confused, the big man lifted him into the cabin and untied the rope.
After the four people were rescued one after another, Xu He clasped his fists and said to the big man: "I don't know who you are..."
The big man with the beard smiled and stroked his beard proudly and said, "Master He, I even went to the ancestral hall when you crowned me."
"..." Xu He was speechless. People were coming and going that day. How could he remember so many people like a puppet on strings?
Fortunately, the bearded man didn't show off, and said directly: "I am the son of Xu Yong, the gatekeeper of the eldest master's family, and my name is Xu Chao!"
It turned out to be Yong Bo's son. Xu He finally found the organization and felt really mixed emotions.
"Brother Chao!"
"I don't dare to let Young Master He call me that. Just call me Yue Ren!" Xu Chao, a big man with a beard, said unhurriedly while laughing.
Xu He suddenly remembered something and said anxiously to Xu Chao: "Brother Yue Ren, those people are demons from the White Lotus Sect, we can't let them go!"
Unexpectedly, Xu Chao said calmly: "Don't worry, they can't escape. Our Xu family is like the sky in Hailing. Who can cross the sky?"
Xu Hexin said, the Wenxiang Hall Master just said the same thing, okay, let's see who is the leader of Hailing now!
Just as they were talking, everyone outside the cabin seemed to feel something. The waiter said in surprise: "Look!"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw ripples spreading outward from the water surface near the bottom of the boat.
Just when everyone was confused, the sound of the cavalry came to their ears.
Jiangnan is not a frontier fortress. The presence of such a large cavalry really surprised everyone on the ship.
Suddenly, Xu He and others saw it. On the road about a mile across the Caohe River, about a thousand horses galloped past, heading straight to the east.
Seeing that scene, the big man with beard was relieved and said with a smile: "Those must be chasing monsters!"
Xu He asked curiously: "How do they know which direction to pursue?"
Xu Chao pointed to the inspection boat on the shore, and saw a dozen pigeon cages placed on it and said: "I asked the people below to bring the carrier pigeons to those people. You can contact the lord at any time. Don't worry, those No one can escape.”
After saying that, he smiled and said with a look of expectation on his face: "Just watch, I will let you know today that whoever offends the Xu family in Hailing will have no room to cry for regrets!"
