Chapter 253 Make Way
At this time, a post boat can carry about [-] people, and there is a cargo compartment at the bottom, which can carry important goods.This kind of boat sails with the wind and uses the oars against the wind. There are eight to twelve long oars on the boat. From a distance, it looks like a centipede, so it is also called a centipede speedboat.

When the fishing boats and merchant boats on the water saw this red centipede speedboat, they all avoided it, because this is the rule of the government. When sailing on the river, any ship must unconditionally avoid the channel for this kind of official speedboat. .

The post boat passed quickly and passed a triangular slow beach. Someone on the boat shouted loudly: "My lord, there are three giant ships ahead. Please give me the order to slow down at the bottom of the bilge and give way!"

At this time, a man in the official uniform of the post office staggered out of the cabin. This man was really Hu De'an, the post office post here.

Hu De'an was drinking by himself in the cabin, when he suddenly heard someone outside shouting to let his post boat make way for others, he came out, laughed and cursed dizzily: "What the hell, are you out of your mind? Let's What kind of boat? Give way? To whom? I won’t give way when the king of heaven comes, just fucking fart!”

Hearing the words, the postman at the bow of the boat blushed and said, "No way, my lord, we must give up this boat!"

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Hu De'an lay down on the side of the boat in a drunken state and looked forward. On the endless canal, he saw three four-masted ships, each with twelve large sails, riding on the waves in a perfect shape, and the waves stirred up by the bottom of the ship. The splash, forming a white line behind the ship, looked imposing.

Hu Dean rubbed his eyes, his mother came, there were many fishing boats and merchant boats passing by on this canal, but none of them had such a big momentum, any one was at least three times as big as a post boat.

Hu Dean inspected intently, and saw that the first huge ship had just turned the bend in front. The ship was decorated gorgeously, carved with dragons and painted buildings, and dozens of small doors with paddle racks were densely opened on the ship walls on both sides. Three flagpoles at the bow Standing tall, the flag fluttering on the flagpole in the middle is a golden Tuanlong flag.

Hu De'an was taken aback, he had no intention of being drunk, Minghuang Tianzi Longqi, did he really hear what he said?Is the king of heaven here?

However, there are two flags hanging on both sides of the dragon flag. On the left is a large triangular flag, which is as red as blood. In the middle of the flag is a flying tiger pattern embroidered with black silk. "Wu".

Although Mr. Hu De'an didn't know who was coming, but to understand that the other party's authority was far above his own little post boat, Hu De'an seemed to have suddenly woken up, kicked the postman's ass, and said cursingly: "Mother! , Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and tell the people below to slow down, come and come, turn the rudder and make way!"

The centipede speedboat suddenly panicked. Amidst the curses of the crowd, the post boat hurried to one side. Seeing the huge ship passing by, the waves caused the centipede speedboat to sway from side to side. Hu Dean stood on the side of the boat, Looking at the three huge ships suspiciously, he muttered: "Is this going to the palace? Wu Ziqi, Feihu Banner? Who is the character at this time?"

On the first huge ship, the cabin was lifted, and a man in a flying fish suit with a gloomy face came out. He looked around, then turned his head, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, depending on the situation, we should We have already arrived in Shandong!"

Before the words were finished, a young man dressed in a blue robe, with a face like a jade crown and delicate features, came out. He was wearing a golden hair crown, and was covered with a yellow rex ​​rabbit leather vest. A wishful jade pendant, the whole person looks like a tree facing the wind, outstanding.

Followed by a woman in a flying fish suit, more than a dozen men in pointed hats and green clothes with simple knives hanging from their waists standing on both sides of the bow immediately knelt on one knee and said, "See Your Highness King Wu!"

The person who came was Li Chengdao, and the first one to follow him was Qinglong, the Commander of the Jinyiwei, and the woman behind him was the Suzaku of the Jinyiwei.

Li Chengdao's original plan was to bring people from the inner factory out, but Gao Shida suddenly handed over the tax supervision authority, which caught him off guard and had to leave Lu Ding and others in the inner factory to stabilize the situation.

So Li Chengdao had no choice but to bring Jin Yiwei's men and horses. When Suzaku heard that she was going to Shandong, that was Kong Yi's hometown, she hesitated for a moment with her heart in mind, and followed Li Chengdao.

Li Chengdao expanded his chest, and a cool and fresh wind blew in front of him, and he couldn't help but look a little bit.

At this time, a fan stepped forward and told Qinglong: "My lord, thirty miles ahead is the Twelve City of Dezhou. Commander Liu of the Dezhou Guard has been notified by the military post. Commander Liu has already greeted you at the pier." With Your Highness."

Qinglong heard the words and looked at Li Chengdao. Li Chengdao nodded, indicating that he understood, then turned his head and glanced at Suzaku, who was dressed lightly and had an indifferent expression.

Can this girl still not let herself go?

Thinking in his heart, Li Chengdao turned his head and shouted: "Big stick, bring me my cloak!"

Immediately there was a sound of footsteps on the boat, and a big black man came out from the cabin, holding a black cloak in his hand.

Li Chengdao took it, turned around and walked towards Suzaku, put it on Suzaku gently, and said, "It's windy and cold outside, why don't you wear more clothes?"

Suzaku's face turned red, and there was a strange look in his eyes, but then he returned to his icy look, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Li Chengdao sighed in his heart and shook his head, but the big stick and hammer were blown by the breeze, and he was quite tired from the boat ride for the past few days, so he said, "Your Highness, how long will it take for us to arrive?"

Li Chengdao said with a smile: "Is there still time to live? Jiangnan Dao is the most wealthy in the world, and the world's taxation ranks sixty-seven in the tenth. I didn't expect that the tax supervisory power has just been handed over, and the three guarding eunuchs were reported at the same time! And I am the one who represents the heaven. During the hunting tour, there is no other way, the emperor ordered me to thoroughly investigate this matter, I hope this trip can be worthwhile!"

This boat is full of people from Jinyiwei, the original crew carefully selected by Qinglong and Suzaku, so Li Chengdao doesn't have too many scruples when speaking here.

Hearing this, Qinglong said faintly: "Your Highness, it seems that the eunuchs in the inner court are responsible for this. How could it be such a coincidence? And according to the humble staff, the Lu Zicong mentioned in the previous secret decree was also among them, and I Some people discovered that just a few days ago, Lu Zicong gave Gao Shida a large amount of gold and silver!"

"Well, having said that, I originally wanted to conduct a secret investigation in the name of hunting on behalf of the sky, but now I didn't expect that it became an open visit. With such a huge momentum, I'm afraid Lu Zicong has already got the news. Now, You have to be careful in everything you do. The inner factory has just obtained the power of tax supervision. If the situation in Jiangnan is uncertain, how can you control the tax?"

Li Chengdao was on a hunting tour along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal this time. He only brought 300 Jinyi guards with him. They were all brave and skilled soldiers. The sticks and hammers are led by their own, and each team is equipped with serial crossbows, handguns and long bows. Their combat power is amazing. Unless there is an army riot, no one can even think of touching a hair of Li Chengdao with these 300 people.
