559 Escape
The two sea ships were sailing with the barge. They were sailing towards the mouth of the Yangtze River. Naturally, inspections were indispensable, because both ships were catamarans, which were unique to the Li family. Naturally, the inspecting sergeants did not blame them. After seeing that the two ships were empty, they were released, without too many questions.
These two ships are going to the sea, at least tomorrow afternoon. If you want to go to Shanglian Village in Yuyao in the morning the day after tomorrow, there are still some rushes. Whether they can actually arrive, you have to look at the direction of the wind.
After Lin Bai and the others went ashore, they went to Hangzhou without any delay. After all, he didn't know if there would be any delays on the way.
In the morning, when they arrived at Maoshan, they really met a group of Tang troops. The opponents were pawns and they were cavalry, so naturally it was easy to get out. Lin Bai and the others did not fight each other at all. They just turned their horses around and bypassed the army of less than a hundred people. During the day, they did not meet the army or cavalry. As long as it was night, the situation would be much better.
Lin Bai knew one thing very well. In terms of their route, they traveled all the way south, and only after reaching Suian County would they turn southeast to Hangzhou. It was difficult for Tang Jun to know where they were going.
At this time, the high-speed sailing boat that Xu Ying was riding had lowered its sails, and the canal was being inspected. All the ships passing by, regardless of their size, needed to be inspected. Xu Shao took Xu Ying to leave Chang'an and never stopped. They had been sailing day and night, and they arrived in Yangzhou just today.
When Xu Ying saw Xu Shao coming in the cabin, she asked, "Big Brother Xu, why stopped the ship?"
"Yingying, there are sergeants in front of them checking the passing ships."
Suddenly hearing Xu Shao’s words, she really frightened Xu Ying. Seeing Xu Ying pale in shock, Xu Shao went on to say: "Yingying, you don’t have to be afraid. This must be something big. It’s definitely not because of investigating you, wait a minute, if there is a sergeant on board, you can just say that it is the maid of the Li family."
"Really?" Although Xu Ying is reacting now, and knows that such a large-scale inspection will definitely not be to find a picking girl like her, but she and Xu Shao and others do not have identity certificates. When the sergeant asked, he only said that he was a subordinate of the Li family, and he probably couldn't pass the test.
"This is what Big Brother Sun said, don't worry, he is more familiar with these things than you and me."
As soon as it was said by Sun Xunzheng who was sailing, Xu Ying was relieved. They often travel between Yangzhou and Chang'an, and they must be familiar with these. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest computer terminal: https://
High-speed sailing boats are only available in the Li family, which is the same as catamarans. Today, the Li family’s popularity in Yangzhou is very good. After all, Li You is a member of the Korean Central Committee. This is known to everyone, and the Li family is also rich. People who are powerful, powerful and rich like this, ordinary people absolutely dare not offend.
Not long after, a clipper arrived next to the high-speed sailing boat. A sergeant was about to go up for inspection, but was stopped by the team led by him. He said, "This is the Clipper of the Li family. There is no need to check this ship. Just know that no one is out of stock."
After the Clippers left, Xu Shao stood on the deck and asked Sun Xun, who was sailing the boat, "Big Brother Sun, why didn't they check it and left before talking?"
Sun Xie was shaking his head and said, "I don't know about this. Wouldn't it be better not to check it?"
This is true. Now they are waiting for the boat to be released. As long as they get out of the canal, they don't have to worry about anything. Less than a stick of incense, the boat set sail again.
Before noon arrived, the ship had already sailed over the Yangtze River, and Xu Ying had also left the cabin and sat on the cabin stairs on the deck. She once again remembered the scene when Li You took her to Lingnan on the boat. This ship is also so fast, it feels like it happened yesterday, and it's sweet to think about it.
But the difference this time was that Li You was not by her side, and she couldn't go home to see her brother and father when she arrived in Yangzhou. Thinking of this, Xu Ying began to look a little lonely again.
When the navy on the Yangtze River saw the ship, he just let go without shouting, because there was no way to stop it. The speed of the ship was too fast. It was going down the current and it was driving again. With full sail, in a blink of an eye, the ship has already gone far.
Soon after nightfall, the ship finally reached the sea. By this time, the big guy was truly relieved. Even Xu Ying knew that she had truly escaped only when she got here. Now that you have reached the sea, you don't need to hurry so much. After that, everyone started to eat. They also ate something in the morning, and they were already hungry.
The meal is very simple, just boiled fish in clean water, but with the addition of green onion, ginger and pepper, although there is still some fishy smell, it tastes good. You can eat meat or drink soup, which can kill two birds with one stone. Sun Xunzheng also took out a jar of wine that he had kept for a long time, and the big guy was also relieved.
On the other side, Lin Bai and others galloped all the way, marching on the official road. The moonlight is blooming tonight, which is suitable for them to drive on. They are now walking on the official road from Hangzhou to Yuezhou. When they passed Hangzhou just now, there was a When the sergeant found them, he estimated that it would not take long for chasers to come, but he also knew that in two hours, they would be able to reach Shanglian Village in Yuyao County, and as long as the ship arrived, they would be able to escape. out.
After walking for a while, they finally stopped, and the horse must have a rest. Under a tree by the road, Ye Hui asked Lin Bai, who was resting by the tree, “Brother Lin, if the boat hasn’t arrived, how should we go?”
Lin Bai closed his eyes and said calmly: "If the boat really doesn't arrive, we will transfer to Taizhou and go back by land. I don't believe it. The entire Datang will set up obstacles to chase after us people. Great army, we have a big deal to fight a dead fish and break the net."
Of course, this is no choice, but now, they have to rush to Shanglian Village to have a look. If the boat arrives there, they won't have to run for their lives.
In the early morning, when the sky was still dark, the two boats had already arrived at the pier in Shanglian Village. The place was still not restored. Only a few more tenants were added to live here, and the whole village still looked dilapidated. Counting the number of households, there are only a dozen households.
Lin Bai and the others have already arrived here, but no villagers dared to go out. Those early risers, seeing so many people riding horses with weapons, are really a little scared, for fear that these people are like robbers. Fortunately, these people did not disturb them, but went to the pier behind the village.
Lin Bai deployed dozens of people around the village, all of them armed with bows and arrows, so as not to let people see what boats picked them up. After most of them got on the boat, only four boats were left on the pier. Give the boat to the people behind, and they can board the boat when they get to the sea.
This time, the horses really cannot and need not be brought on, and all of them stay at the pier to see if anyone with the courage dares to lead the horses back. Anyway, these horses are no longer useful to Lin Bai and the others, and they will be able to return to Siam soon. (End of this chapter)
