Therefore, before leaving, Sheng Changquan had already asked Xu Changqing to go out to inquire about some information, find some experts who made a living on water, and ask them for advice on boating. Therefore, at this time, he also had a lot of thoughts in his heart. Confident.
"However, if this is the case, then don't we just need to be careful of those small groups of water bandits that are wandering around?"
Sheng Changquan suddenly raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.
"Based on the current situation, those powerful and well-informed water bandits don't have to worry."
"After all, they don't dare to act randomly, lest they really anger the court."
"At that time, if we really make the imperial court angry and attract a large army to attack, then they won't be able to leave!"
"At that time, I'm afraid no one's black gloves will work well, and they will be destroyed directly!"
In fact, most of those who can collect tolls on the Han River are related to the noble and wealthy families in the court. Otherwise, they would not have been able to live happily for so long without being eliminated by the court.
After all, although this dynasty suffered a major defeat at the hands of the Liang Kingdom during the reign of Huizong, after so many years, the dynasty has already developed back, and even surpassed it, far better than Huizong's succession. time!
Otherwise, there would not have been so many ministers shouting and noisily going out to conquer the lost territory.
After all, war requires food, grass, soldiers and horses. If the country is not strong, how can we start a war?
Then again, Sheng Changquan suddenly realized that along the way, their most dangerous enemies were not the large-scale bandits with sufficient manpower, but those who didn't understand anything and didn't even understand the rules tacitly agreed with the court. The soldiers who don’t understand are scattered.
They are the biggest enemies of this trip!
In this regard, Sheng Changquan was also a little bit dumbfounded.
However, those small groups of water bandits are extremely brave people.
If he really faced them, Sheng Changquan dared to conclude that even if the dragon boat of the current official family was here, these guys would probably dare to use the knife to get on it!
After all, these people were forced to take this desperate path.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and this is exactly the case for these people.
"well!"
"It seems that the most dangerous people right now are these bandits who don't know the heights of the sky!"
Sheng Changquan frowned, with a headache on his face.
"Well, I'm afraid Uncle Wang will tell you about this in the future, right?"
Sheng Changquan suddenly raised his head and looked at Uncle Wang opposite, ready to listen to what he had to say.
Sure enough, before Sheng Changquan could think about it carefully, Uncle Wang spoke again.
And what he said confirmed Sheng Changquan's conjecture and confirmed his imaginary enemy.
"Also, I have to remind the nobles!"
"Even if we have paid the toll, we cannot be careless!"
Seeing Minglan and He Hongwen's obviously relaxed expressions, Uncle Wang couldn't help but take courage and said respectfully: "Because, in addition to the bandits who gathered together, there are also some lone rangers on the Han River!"
"And these people are the most terrifying!"
"The Lone Ranger?"
Everyone in the field, except Sheng Changquan, was all shocked!
Not only Minglan didn't understand, but even He Hongwen didn't understand.
"Uncle Wang, are these lone rangers stronger than the Scythe Gang?"
He Hongwen thinks, shouldn't it be easier to deal with fewer people?
Why do you feel that Uncle Wang is more afraid of those loners?
He Hongwen stared at Uncle Wang closely, with a puzzled look on his face.
"this……"
Uncle Wang swallowed, as if recalling some terrible scene. He wiped the cold sweat on his face and said in a deep voice: "He Xiaolangjun doesn't know something!"
"These loners, they are not people who follow the rules!"
Uncle Wang calmly explained to He Hongwen: "If we are targeted by them, let alone us, even if it is the emperor's dragon boat, they will dare to rush on it!"
"These people are the ones who truly have no inhibitions!"
Uncle Wang looked helpless.
"But, we..."
He Hongwen opened his mouth, but wanted to say something.
"Wait!"
Sheng Changquan on the side suddenly stretched out his hand, directly interrupted He Hongwen's meaningless remarks, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Wang, what are your plans here?"
"Can your manpower guarantee that our family will arrive in Beijing smoothly on this trip?"
Sheng Changquan looked into Uncle Wang's eyes and asked him carefully.
"Sheng Xiaolangjun, you can rest assured about this!"
"Of course our boat company can guarantee the safety of your house!"
Uncle Wang nodded and agreed without thinking.
However, in addition to this sentence, Uncle Wang added later: "It's just that the people in your mansion must obey our instructions and cannot act randomly when the enemy comes, so as not to cause other damage!"
"It may even destroy our protective measures and let the enemy in!"
There was a hint of warning in Uncle Wang's tone, which was rare and serious.
Listening to Uncle Wang's tone, everyone present could guess that he had encountered many such situations in the past, otherwise, he would not have reacted like this.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry!"
"We will certainly remember this!"
Hearing Uncle Wang's assurance, Sheng Changquan was slightly relieved, and his words could not help but be filled with a little relief.
However, when he heard Uncle Wang's next warning, Sheng Changquan directly expressed his position: "In a while, I will explain to the people in the house and ask them to obey the command!"
"At that time, without your orders, Uncle Wang, these people will never come out!"
Sheng Changquan knew that if there was really an attack by bandits, the third floor would be the safest place. As long as the enemy did not completely capture the ship, the people on the third floor would be safe.
"So, very good!"
Uncle Wang glanced at Sheng Changquan with some suspicion, feeling that if that time really came, the other party might not be able to do this.
However, since that time has not yet come, Uncle Wang can't say much. He can only hope that Sheng Changquan, a person who makes him unpredictable, can keep his word and strictly restrain that group of people.
…
After Uncle Wang said this to Sheng Changquan and others, Sheng Changquan and the others no longer wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the river. After seeing Uncle Wang off, they immediately went back to discuss with their grandmothers.
However, because the purpose of Mrs. He going to Youyang was to use the power of Mrs. Sheng to reach the capital safely, she directly handed over the manpower of the He family to He Hongwen and asked him to find him. Mrs. Sheng discussed the matter together.
At the same time, when Old Mrs. Sheng heard what Sheng Changquan said and his own plans, she also smiled and took the opportunity to hand over all the management rights of the servants and nurses on the road to Sheng Changquan, so that He makes his own decisions.
In other words, all the matters related to returning from Youyang to Bianliang this time were all concentrated in Sheng Changquan's hands.
Even the manpower of the He family is controlled by Sheng Changquan.
After all, He Hongwen was not familiar with these things.
That night.
"Chang Qing, go and ask brother Hongwen to come over!"
Sheng Changquan sat in front of a table and gave orders to Xu Changqing, who was like a piece of black coal next to him.
"Yes, Master!"
Xu Changqing didn't know what was going on. In the past few years, he had been traveling with Sheng Changquan, and he was getting darker and darker!
If it weren't for the orderly inheritance of the Xu family and Mr. Xu's family genealogy as proof, Sheng Changquan would have almost doubted whether this guy had African ancestry.
Of course, black people at this time were not called Africans, but were called Xihai slaves, which meant slaves captured from the western sea.
Sheng Changquan didn't know whether these Xihai slaves were the same as the African blacks in their previous lives, and they all turned black due to geography, but there was only one thing he could be sure of.
That is, these guys are really black!
It was so dark that I could hardly see clearly!
"Dang! Dang! Dang..."
A series of footsteps sounded, and Xu Changqing quickly invited He Hongwen over.
Because of the water bandits, the Sheng and He families also moved to the same painted boat. Therefore, of the two large boats this time, one was filled with household items and goods, and the other was occupied by people.
In this way, it is quite convenient for the two families to get together often.
"Dang! Dang! Dang..."
"Tap! Tread! Tread..."
Soon, with the sound of heavy and light footsteps coming one after another, Sheng Changquan knew that it was He Hongwen coming.
"Seventh brother, do you have a problem with me?"
When he saw Sheng Changquan, He Hongwen directly asked: "Is it possible that someone in the He family disobeyed your discipline and caused some trouble?"
"Haha, there is no such thing. Brother Hongwen is worrying too much!"
Sheng Changquan stood up and explained to He Hongwen: "Actually, the reason why I asked Brother Hongwen to come over this time is because we have important matters to discuss!"
"Um?"
"What's the matter?"
After hearing that it was not the He family that was causing trouble, He Hongwen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Hongwen, I want to invite..."
"not good!"
"There are enemies!"
"quick!"
"..."
Before Sheng Changquan could speak clearly, he suddenly heard a nervous warning sound outside.
…
(Change first and then change)
…
"bass!"
Hearing the strange movement outside, Sheng Changquan suddenly stood up straight and looked out warily.
"There's movement!"
Sheng Changquan looked in the direction outside the door with a serious expression.
"What happened?" He Hongwen suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart when he heard the noise outside.
"Could it be that someone is coming?"
He only heard what Uncle Wang said during the day. At this time, He Hongwen naturally thought of that situation for the first time - I am afraid that there are really water bandits boarding the boat to steal the wealth!
"hehe!"
Hearing He Hongwen's muttering, Sheng Changquan immediately turned his head and glanced at him.
"Brother Hongwen, don't worry!"
Sheng Changquan could see the tension and uneasiness in his heart at a glance, so he couldn't help but smile and comfort him: "During the day, didn't Uncle Wang say that their shipyard had already penetrated this place?" At the moment, they are just negotiating with those people!"
In fact, Sheng Changquan was born with a keen spiritual sense, and he had already overheard some of the conversations of the people below at the first time, and learned that those sounds were deliberately made by the ship's guards, and their purpose was to warn everyone on the ship so that everyone could All are alert.
"What's more, Uncle Wang and the others are old martial artists, and are used to this waterway. Naturally, these things have been expected by them, and there won't be any problems."
Sheng Changquan turned around and took a few steps forward, looked outside, then turned back and said, "By the way, brother Hongwen, do you still remember what Uncle Wang said during the day?"
"Wha...what?"
He Hongwen was inevitably a little flustered at this time, so he didn't hear clearly what Sheng Changquan said for a while.
"I said!"
"Brother Hongwen, do you still remember Uncle Wang's instructions during the day, telling everyone not to go out at this time?"
Sheng Changquan waved to He Hongwen and said: "I have already told everyone in the afternoon, but the maids in Mrs. He's room haven't had time to tell them yet. I wonder if Brother Hongwen has explained it to them. Already?"
"Huh? I said... I told you!"
When He Hongwen heard the question asked by Sheng Changquan, he immediately nodded quickly. His frightened little look was as naive as a chicken pecking at rice.
"Haha, that's good!"
Sheng Changquan waved his hand to He Hongwen and began to give instructions: "In that case, brother Hongwen, you should go back to the old lady's house first, and by the way, guard their house for me to prevent them from being frightened. "
Because they moved to the same boat, the two old ladies happened to stay in the same cabin tonight.
After all, they are old sisters who have not seen each other for a long time. Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. He are very close now!
Of course, Sheng Changquan not only wanted He Hongwen to guard the two old ladies, but also wanted He Hongwen to help take care of Minglan, because he expected that Minglan would definitely go to the old lady's house at this time to guard her. With them.
But this is good, everyone is together, and it is much easier to move and so on.
"Then...what about you?"
He Hongwen nodded blankly at first and took a few steps forward. However, in a moment, he came back to his senses and became worried about Sheng Changquan.
"Seventh brother, you...are you going out?"
Looking at Sheng Changquan's serious expression, He Hongwen suddenly knew Sheng Changquan's plan, and he probably wanted to go out and take a look.
"Haha, brother Hongwen, don't worry, I won't mess around!"
Sheng Changquan did not say yes or no, but just promised He Hongwen: "You go to the old lady and the others first, I will go there in a while!"
"No……"
"Okay, brother Hongwen, you go first!"
Sheng Changquan didn't want to hear He Hongwen speak anymore, so he simply grabbed the other person's wrist and pushed him out forcefully.
