Chapter 205 Tail
the weather is getting hotter.
The imperial envoy team that came from Yuncheng to provide disaster relief traveled by water back to the capital.
Yuncheng is getting better and better, and there is no sign of damage at all.
Although there was still no rain, both people and crops had water to drink.
Not to mention some of the things that appeared in Yuncheng, any discerning person would know that the imperial envoy who saved Yuncheng had made a great contribution to future generations.
After returning to Beijing, he will definitely be honored and rewarded, and will be a favorite of the emperor in the future, with unlimited prospects.
However, because of this, some people don't want them to return to the capital.
"Your Highness, they are traveling by water in Luo City, but the transport ships do not accept other people, so our people cannot take the opportunity to sneak in. We have no choice but to charter a transport ship to follow them, but there are several transport ships escorting their ship in front and behind. They are guarding them tightly!" On the top floor of Youmeng Tower in the capital of Qing Kingdom, the man in black knelt in front of the table to report.
The man in the crimson python robe leaned against a table behind him, frowning slightly, his face gloomy and hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. "So, what are you reporting? An ambush in the canyon. You said the enemy was treacherous and used poison, and there was no defense, which led to the annihilation of the entire army. Now it's their defense that's too strong, so you can't get in?"
"Your Highness, please calm down. Your Highness, please forgive me!" The man in black immediately knelt on both knees, then prostrated himself on the ground.
Qi Yunting supported his chin with one hand and glanced at the trembling person on the ground, "Do you need me to teach you what to do next?"
"I dare not, but, Your Highness..." The man in black raised his body slightly and said cautiously, "I found something strange. As long as we make any move on the boat, they will find out in advance. Whether we go into the water or want to poison, we will be shot in advance. It seems that every move is under the enemy's sight. I suspect there is a traitor, but after investigation, there is no such person."
Now their people on the boat were already scared out of their wits. They were so far away that they could only identify the enemy's position by the direction of the arrows.
But how did the enemy hit them so clearly?
They now even think that the other party is playing tricks on them by keeping them alive, just like a mouse caught by a cat, which is played with first and then killed.
Qi Yunting narrowed his gloomy eyes, and was about to throw the cup in his hand. However, he didn't know what he thought of. He closed his eyes, then raised his eyes lightly and said, "Get up. No matter what the reason is, if you can't do it, withdraw first and don't make unnecessary sacrifices. If you can't do it on the water... you can do it on the shore, right? Go to the docks along the way to set up defenses and find a chance to do it..."
My uncle is right. Wherever that woman appears, there will always be something unusual.
He has already lost a lot of manpower, so he must not be impatient anymore.
If it really doesn't work, he can only wait for people to return to the capital and keep a watchful eye on her. If this person can be used by him, that would be the best. If not, even if he can't kill her, he will at least clip her wings.
"Pass the order down, keep a close eye on them, and act accordingly."
The man in black was stunned, then immediately kowtowed, "Yes, I obey your command."
Qi Yunyu waved his hand tiredly, and the figure of the man in black immediately disappeared from the room.
Man in black: ...I saved a life today o(╥﹏╥)o...
The man in black retreated, and then a voice came from the room again, "Jingfeng, what's the news over there?"
"Your Highness, the woman originally followed a traveling merchant. The traveling merchant traveled all over the country without a fixed place to stay, so it will take some time."
"Yes. I'm going to take a nap, and no one is allowed to disturb me."
"Yes."
……
Next evening.
The surface of the canal was reflected red by the fiery clouds in the sky.
The luxurious transport ship broke through the water on the river and moved forward at a constant speed.
On the deck, the old men who used to sit in a row in the morning to admire the sunrise now gather together to enjoy the sunset while playing mahjong.
Minister Lin, Censor Li, and two elders of the boat gang sat together. Watching the fight were the two adults' servants and two other elders of the boat gang.
Xie Xiao placed a low table at the bow of the boat and drank by himself.
Li Jiaojiao and Lu Liang came to the control room of the ship.
The control room is an important place and only insiders are there.
Here, Li Jiaojiao met the sixth elder of the boat gang, a woman who had never appeared.
The woman has a calm and gentle temperament, natural and generous. Time has left traces on her, but these traces have not diminished her beauty at all, but have made her even more charming.
A kind of charm that a woman of this age should have, confident, wise, steady, and elegant...
Just standing there, it seems like the years are peaceful.
The first elder and the sixth elder respectfully greeted the young master and his wife, "Your subordinate greets the young master and his wife, and thank you for the telescope. This thing is of great help to us."
Li Jiaojiao hurriedly extended her hand to support him. "Two elders, please stand up quickly. The telescope is not worth mentioning. It is good enough to provide a little help to the boat gang. I want to thank you for the things you sent me. I like them very much."
After Li Jiaojiao finished speaking, she turned to look at Lu Liang. Why did he suddenly call her to the cabin? What happened?
"There are people following us, and the next stop is Yongzhou City. We have to deal with them before getting off the boat. I brought you here to inform you in advance. You must pay attention to your own safety at that time." Lu Liang came to the position of the joystick, picked up the telescope beside him and handed it to Li Jiaojiao, then raised his hand and pointed to a location.
"It was also your telescope that allowed our people to discover the enemy's intentions in time. Before that, we had intercepted several of their small moves."
"The reason why we are waiting until now is, on the one hand, because we are about to reach Yongzhou City, and on the other hand, we want them to pass the message out. Our people should already know where the message has been delivered."
"Also, your telescope is very useful. It is also very useful for intimidating the enemy. Now the enemy is probably scared out of their wits, but because the order to retreat has not come down yet, they can only hold on, but they dare not make any more small moves."
"Not only that, they don't even dare to go on the deck recently. What cowards!" The Sixth Elder took over Lu Liang's words and continued.
Then he looked at Li Jiaojiao kindly, with a smile on his face: "It's really thanks to Madam's telescope that we can easily pass messages between the ships, and we can also see all the bad intentions of Fangyuan. They are just jumping clowns now!"
"It's just that I have an unwelcome request."
"Madam, can you please not sell this telescope to the public? I am selfish. The young master is under attack from all sides. If such a thing falls into the hands of the enemy... the consequences will be disastrous. Please rest assured, Madam, the telescope of the boat gang will only be used for sailing at sea to avoid disasters. We will never do anything that harms the world and embarrasses you."
