Huilang Bay, as the name suggests, is a harbor with many waves. If the weather is windy and surging, the waves here can be very high and far, and very few ships will take this route.
Therefore, the cargo ship speeding over from the other side is particularly eye-catching.
Just as the ship was about to sail from the bay into the boundless ocean, a row of red horse boats surrounded the ship from both sides and stopped it. Another two-story warship also approached. Sun Qi and Gu Yanxi stood side by side at the bow, looking at the two clearly distinguished groups of people on the red horse boats.
Different from the soldiers guarding the pass who were standing steadily, the people of the Seven Stars were all holding on to the hull tightly. They could swim, but they were not good at it and could not make the boat as smooth as the soldiers guarding the pass.
"As expected of a member of the Seven Stars Division, the speed of the Red Horse Boat is beyond the reach of most people."
Gu Yanxi shook her head and decided that she would have to improve on this aspect when she returned.
At this time, the boat not only did not stop, but accelerated and rushed over. Sun Qi sneered, "He is so guilty. Even if he is not from the Chaoli tribe, he is not a good person. Capture him."
The soldiers responded loudly and dispersed in tacit cooperation. Some went out of the boat, some went into the water, and quickly destroyed the sails, oars and oars, making the boat unable to move. If they followed their usual practice, they would have sunk the boat and the people on board would have gotten out. However, they knew that the boat might be loaded with silver or food, so they couldn't help but be cautious.
At this time, another boat came over there. Gu Yanxi was staring at that end and immediately said, "General Sun, please send a boat over to meet him. He should be my man."
Sun Qi signaled to the personal soldiers behind him, and the personal soldiers went downstairs and boarded the red horse boat to meet them. After a while, they brought the boat back and Wang Hai stood at the bow.
"They are indeed my people." Gu Yanxi stepped forward and ordered, "Cooperate with the soldiers guarding the pass to capture the people on the boat."
Wang Hai responded and led his men to surround the enemy. He had already prepared for a desperate battle, but he did not expect that his master was wise and was waiting ahead. Finally, he did not have to worry about not being able to stop the enemy.
But in this battle, the Qixiusi did not have much room to maneuver. Knowing that they had been exposed, they jumped into the water separately without waiting for the enemy to board the ship, trying to escape. They were born on the island and grew up in the water. They believed they were excellent in swimming and the people of Daqing were no match for them.
But these are not ordinary Daqing people.
They were soldiers guarding the pass who trained in the water every day, and they cooperated well. If one person could not handle it, then two would do it. If two still felt it was a stretch, then four would do it. They tied up the beautiful woman tightly in the water.
Gu Yanxi ignored the captured people and went straight to the cabin after boarding the cargo ship. Wang Hai, who got the hint and came in first, opened the box in front of him without saying a word. I don’t know if it was because of the silver light, but when he looked up, his eyes were bright, "Master, our efforts were not in vain!"
Gu Yanxi walked forward and took a look, then nodded his chin towards the neatly stacked boxes, "Open a few more boxes."
Wang Hai opened the box in all directions, but he didn't expect that there was still a surprise behind it. "Master, come and see!"
Gu Yanxi stepped over the box, and it turned out to be full of gold bars!
Wang Hai quickly opened all the boxes here. Six of them were gold bars. Adding the amount of silver on this ship, Wang Hai felt a chill down his spine just thinking about it. He intercepted so many this time, but how many times have the Chaoli tribe transported such a large amount over the years? The more he thought about it, the more horrified he felt. He couldn't help but look up at his master. Sure enough, his master's expression was no longer ugly. It was true that if he could think of it, how could his master not think of it
"Go to the trial."
"yes."
Gu Yanxi's eyes swept over a row of boxes, and he opened the one closest to him, then one box, and another. None of them were empty. They were all piled full. There was so much silver. All the wealth of the entire city of Jinyang fell into the hands of the enemy. They used this as a foundation to attack Daqing. What a good calculation.
But this plan still happened to be carried out by them.
What was the Daqing court doing at this time? They were probably eyeing the fat piece of meat in Jinyang, but if they knew that the fat piece of meat had been squeezed dry and turned into oil residue, would they still fight for it
"Master!" Wang Hai returned, "Those Chaoli people are dead!"
Gu Yanxi turned around. The Chaoli tribe believed that one could be a hero again after 18 years of death, and one should die standing. No one who fell into their hands had ever committed suicide. How could this happen...
"I checked it out and it was poisoned. It must have been in the baby's mouth when he fell into the water, and it broke when he was caught." Wang Hai looked worried. "Over at Songzhu..."
"Peony is there." Gu Yanxi could only hope for this. He turned around and glanced at the boxes. He whispered, "Please ask General Sun to come over."
Sun Qi was just outside, but he came in a moment later. He looked at the open boxes in front of him for a long time before speaking, "What can I do?"
"I want to take back some of the food I received and exchange it for an equal amount of silver." Gu Yanxi walked to the boxes of gold bars, bent down, picked up one and weighed it, "All six boxes of gold bars are stored with General Sun."
Sun Qi's throat tightened, and he stared at the leader of the Seven Susi in front of him, "Store it for now?"
"I need to return to Songzhu immediately. Please ask General Sun to send someone to deliver this ship to Songzhu. Someone will take it over there. The current draft of the ship must be the same as the current draft." Gu Yanxi put the gold bar back and closed the lid. "General Sun, prepare for battle."
Sun Qi exhaled softly and saluted Gu Yanxi solemnly, "Thank you, sir, for your generosity."
"Only by seeing it with my own eyes can you understand how much effort General Sun has put in. I will do my best to supervise the food supply in the future and ensure that the soldiers do not become weak underwater."
Sun Qi moved his lips but couldn't say anything. This was all he had been asking for for years.
"Azhi once said that if you want a horse to run, you must first feed it. In the final analysis, it is my Gu family that owes the general." Gu Yanxi bent down deeply.
"You don't have to do this, sir." Sun Qi lifted the man up. "Publicly, the Qisusi doesn't owe anyone anything. Privately, I have to thank you. My Sun family only has the Sixth Prince as a descendant. It is because you and the girl from the Hua family have protected him wholeheartedly that he is safe. I know clearly what is right and what is wrong. I don't know when I will have the opportunity to meet the girl from the Hua family. Please also tell me a message for me. The Sun family will remember her kindness to the Sun family."
"I dare not say that." Gu Yanxi smiled slightly. "To her, Xiaoliu is her own person who needs to be protected. Moreover, he is now a formal disciple. She just wishes she could pour out everything in her mind to him. It would be unorthodox to say thank you."
Not only is it an outsider, but a simple thank you is too light. Sun Qi sighed in his heart, hoping that his grandson with Gu family bloodline would remember this kindness and never change.
