"Dakui! Stay alert!! We can't make any mistakes this time!!"
"It's okay. I've been there so many times and nothing has happened. I just said that our gang leader was too careful. With just a hundred or so people, five hundred of our brothers were dispatched. It was like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer!"
"Dakui! You forgot what the second boss said when you came out!!"
"This~~"
"Okay~ Everything you said is right, but it's not enough to listen to you!!"
"You~~"
Not long after, Jia Qi saw this extremely strange fleet. There were two small boats at the front. There were two people on each boat holding torches, looking around. Jia Qi guessed that these two boats should be opening the way.
After that came five tower ships, but these five tower ships did not have torches and were hidden in the dark night, looking extremely mysterious.
Jia Qi's nose flapped slightly, his expression changed slightly, and he could smell the pungent smell of blood even from hundreds of meters away.
Obviously, there was a bloody battle on these five ships not long ago, and many people died, otherwise the smell of blood would not be so strong.
Then he mobilized the Dahuang Ting in his body, and just wanted to see what was going on with these five buildings, but unexpectedly, his expression changed drastically the next moment.
Behind these five large ships, there are nearly fifty small boats hidden in the night. Those people are all armed with weapons and solemn expressions, following closely behind the five large ships, and the same thing behind them None of the fifty boats had any torches.
If I hadn't used Dahuangting to check the situation here just now, I might have capsized in the gutter. If these people swarmed up, I might not be able to escape unscathed.
And if you were an ordinary person, you might not be able to see the fifty small boats following the building ship. If you were to hit them head-on, you would probably end up with no bones left.
Thinking of what happened before, Jia Qi couldn't help but cursed in his heart, these people are really fucking idiots, there are so many of them, why don't they act aboveboard!
Then he lifted up the Great Huangting and took a closer look at the five ships. Directly in front of every ship, there is a person at the rudder, who is steering the helm with concentration.
Except for this one, there was no one on the decks of these five large ships. Jia Qi found this situation and felt very different in his heart. It was so strict before and after, why was there no one on these five ships?
After a while, under the thick darkness of night, Jia Qi saw the right moment, jumped lightly, and arrived at the second building ship.
The first building boat was too close to the pioneer boat at the front and was easily exposed, so it was not suitable to take it. The last two boats were also a bit close to the fifty small boats behind, and there were many people and distractions, so he didn't choose the one that was suitable. There were only the second and third ships. For the sake of convenience, he chose the second ship that was closer to him.
Jia Qi landed on the deck silently. At this moment, he did not dare to be careless. The big yellow court in his body started to operate without reservation, and then his body was pressed tightly against the cabin. Before he could push the door in, I heard five or six breathing sounds coming from the cabin.
The corners of Jia Qi's eyes twitched. This group of people was really a little confused. With such a careful arrangement, someone who didn't know better would have thought it was an ambush.
Suddenly, a voice came from Jia Qi's ear, which came from the cabin.
"Dakui, what are you doing??"
"I'm so worried!! I really don't understand, what are you afraid of? There are five hundred of us! Where can Lin Ruhai find five hundred people to chase us in the middle of the night!"
Jia Qi frowned, and something strange flashed in his eyes. If he guessed correctly, the Lin Ruhai in this person's mouth was none other than Lin Daiyu's father. Now Emperor Mingkang appointed him as an official of the Salt Patrol and came to Jiangnan to replace him. He makes money.
Following this line, he immediately realized that the thing on the ship was most likely salt.
Before he was in the capital, he had heard those traveling merchants say that bandits were rampant here in the south of the Yangtze River, and official salt was often robbed.
But he didn't expect that he had become so arrogant that he would kill people and intercept goods in the middle of the night.
Jia Qi thought about it for a while, whether he should take action in this matter. If he did, the first thing he would face would be these five hundred strong men. If he wanted to solve them, the problem would not be too big. As long as he did not confront them head-on, he should be able to Did it.
But what should I say when I see Lin Ruhai later? And whether Lin Ruhai, the sixth child, would betray him? After all, he has nothing to do with them.
Whether there are spies sent by Emperor Mingkang around the other party will affect his next actions.
If he takes action himself, what benefits can he get? First of all, he should be able to gain Lin Ruhai's favor, which will be very helpful in capturing Lin Daiyu in the future. Secondly, if Lin Ruhai does not die, it will also be a help for him to enter the court and control the army in the future. , after all, after reaching his current status, he would reach the center of Dakang's power further up. Emperor Mingkang supported civil servants to balance the nobility. With the help of a confidant of Emperor Mingkang like him, he must have grown up before he was fully grown. , the effect is also huge.
Undoubtedly, this move is high risk with high reward. The key depends on Lin Ruhai's reaction. He thought for a moment, with a cold light in his eyes, hoping that Mr. Lin would not let him down.
Then Jia Qi came lightly behind the man who had just come out, and a wisp of sword energy quietly exploded in his chest.
Jia Qi slowly leaned against the shadow of the deck, and then walked in through the four-wide open cabin door. He did not speak when he entered the cabin, and five invisible sword energies silently attacked the five unsuspecting people. The people shot away.
"Dakui, is that thing of yours not working anymore? Damn it, soaking in the urine for so long..."
"Well……"
Just after saying this, five muffled groans came from the cabin, and the chests of the five people exploded, and there was no sound in an instant.
Then Jia Qi gently closed the door. He looked around. Sure enough, the cabin was full of salt, packed in sacks. The top sack had a big hole. It must have been this group of people who confirmed the goods. It was divided at the time.
After that, Jia Qi curled his lips and took out a dagger from his sleeve. The dagger intersected with the scabbard and he sharpened it hard. A spark fell on the sacks. He searched around and saw something in the corner. There were several sets of clothes, so he took those clothes over again. When the fire was completely burning, he opened the window and floated out.
After a while, the fire gradually grew bigger and finally attracted the attention of the group. They also rushed over to put out the fire. For a while, the crowd became completely chaotic.
Five hundred meters away, Jia Qi looked at the noisy crowd, smiled, made a circle, and passed behind these people.
Tonight will definitely be a sleepless night.
