After coming up with the plan, Sun Quan immediately began to implement it. He was getting closer and closer to Xiakou, and there was not much time left for him.
"Take this."
When no one was paying attention, Sun Quan secretly gave a token to Ling Cao.
Ling Cao looked down and was a little confused, but he still hurriedly took it in his arms.
"Lord, what are you doing?"
"Listen to me..." Sun Quan went directly to Ling Cao and whispered for a while.
By the time Sun Quan finished speaking quickly, the merchant ship was already approaching the pass, and the owner of the merchant ship also came to the deck.
Although Ling Cao was confused and confused, and had many questions in his heart, Sun Quan had no time to explain too much. Just saying "Do as I say", Sun Quan sneaked to the stern of the boat alone. After entering the water, he stuck to the bottom of the boat.
Everything is the same as before.
Huang Zujun confirmed the identity of the merchant ship and slowly opened the iron rope to let it pass. By the time the merchant ship passed, Sun Quan had already dived into the water and began to destroy the "poor and fragile" iron rope.
On the other side, the fleet led by Dong Xi, pretending to be returning to Jiangdong, suddenly changed direction in the middle of the river. The front army changed to the rear army, and they rowed upstream at high speed. When passing by Jiangxia again, everyone was dumbfounded by the majestic momentum and overwhelming courage. Everyone understood that today, the situation in Xiakou ahead might change! Naturally, Huang Zu's scouts were indispensable among them. Unfortunately, they could only watch helplessly, feeling anxious and unable to do anything.
On this side, Zhu Ran Lingcao followed Sun Quan's instructions and seized a merchant ship in the river and destroyed another merchant ship. He pretended to be in an accident and had to temporarily stop the rescue.
As a result, at this moment, a military ship appeared from upstream. Seeing that something seemed to be going on here, Huang Zu's warship sailed straight over.
Before the warship even approached, Ling Cao and Zhu Ran were already standing on the bow, ready for battle at any time.
"It's Gan Ning, Gan Xingba?" Ling Cao yelled first.
On the opposite deck, the soldiers made way for a strong man in brocade. Gan Ning walked out, looked at Zhu Ran and Ling Cao, and then frowned.
"Yes, it's me. Are you?"
Gan Ning was famous, but it was only famous in Ba County. Gan Ning had just arrived here not long ago, and he thought that not many people knew him. So at first Gan Ning thought it was someone from the past. However, if you think about it carefully, even an old person shouldn't do it. Gan Ning didn't show up at all just now, and no one saw him. How did he know he was there?
The flag of Huang Zu was hoisted on the ship, and few of the soldiers around him were brothers. How could he be sure that it was Gan Ning who came with him?
Not only Gan Ning was surprised, but Ling Cao and Zhu Ran were also surprised. The two looked at each other. Is it really what the lord said? Even Wu Yi Ce is not that powerful! After all, Huang Zu would send someone, and who would Huang Zu send? !
If Ling Cao and Zhu Ran were not confident at the beginning, they were much calmer now. The development of things was completely within Sun Quan's expectation!
"My master asked us to wait for you here." Ling Cao replied.
Gan Ning on the opposite side was even more confused.
"Who is your master?"
Why did his master know that he would come? You must know that Huang Zu's decision today was completely impromptu. Gan Ning himself did not expect that there would be such a task for him to come over to confirm the situation in Xiakou. Also, just wait, don't you care if the merchant ship next to you is about to sink? Don't you think this situation is weird?
"My master said, you will know after reading this." As he said that, Ling Cao threw out the token Sun Quan gave him.
The token was shining with golden light and spinning in the air. It looked like something unusual at first glance. Gan Ning took it in his hand with some confusion, looked at it carefully, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly put the thing into his sleeve.
I don’t know if the people next to me saw it clearly, but Gan Ning saw it very clearly. There was a big "grand" character on the token!
Who else in the world today dares to make a brand with this surname? !
In an instant, Gan Ning understood. Opposite are people from the Sun family! The enemy has sneaked in here! No wonder they ignored the sinking merchant ship. This merchant ship was basically hijacked by them!
Thinking of this, Gan Ning's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly realized that Jiang Dongjun was really coming!
As a member of Huang Zu, Gan Ning's first reaction was to go back and report immediately. Even if you kill the opponent at this time, it is meaningless. Passing this information back as soon as possible is worth a lot of money! There is a military ship on his side, and a merchant ship on the opposite side. Moreover, this merchant ship has a very deep draft and is obviously full of cargo. As long as the military ship runs, the merchant ship will never be able to catch up.
However, Ling Cao's series of operations just now completely stunned Gan Ning. This was done as if Gan Ning was an undercover agent, but if he was an undercover agent, wouldn't Gan Ning himself know?
etc! Undercover?
Gan Ning was keenly aware that the people around him seemed to have begun to look at him with suspicion. This forces people to make an immediate decision!
So, continue to follow Huang Zu? Or simply join the Sun family?
Jiangdong was the place Gan Ning longed for, but with hundreds of brothers still with Huang Zu, Gan Ning was really hard to make a choice.
However, although it was difficult to make a choice, Gan Ning himself did not realize that a deep shadow had unknowingly enveloped his heart.
This shadow was the question at the beginning - why did Sun Quan know that Gan Ning would be here?
Perhaps, when the first news came, Sun Quan could indeed predict that Huang Zu would send people to investigate Xiakou. But how could Sun Quan know who Huang Zu would send? Don't forget, what Huang Zu sent this time was not his old subordinates, but a new outsider that not many people knew!
What does this mean? This can only show that Sun Quan is well aware of all the changes within Huang Zu! Sun Quan had figured out Huang Zu's behavior and habits, and even an important minister who could influence Huang Zu's decision had secretly joined the Sun family!
Moreover, the Sun family had obviously predicted that Gan Ning would come in advance, so why not just ambush him here and plot against him? Instead, wait here, take the initiative to reveal your identity, and try to recruit him? This shows that Sun Quan may have found out from somewhere that Gan Ning intends to defect to Jiangdong! If it were other people loyal to Huang Zu, waiting here would probably be the butcher's knife.
horrible!
If he hadn't experienced it himself, Gan Ning would simply not be able to imagine the horror of the Sun family! To be honest, during these days under Huang Zu's command, Gan Ning really naively thought that the Sun family could not conquer Xiakou.
While a chill ran down his spine, Gan Ning felt excited for no reason. This is the place he yearns for!
At this moment, Gan Ning had made a decision in his heart and he was no longer confused.
"What else did your master say?" Gan Ning suddenly asked with great interest, and at the same time he touched the weapon without leaving any trace.
"My master asked you to wait for him here with us. As for what he wants to say, I'm afraid we won't know until he comes." Ling Cao replied.
Gan Ning was stunned and subconsciously clenched his fists. Waiting for him here? Did he come in person? What's the meaning? Is Xiakou about to be captured soon? How is this done? !
