Han’s Son is Not a Slave

On the ninth day of the tenth lunar month, at Hai Shi, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and I can't see my five fingers when I stretch out my hand.

In the West City of Xinhui, a long table was filled with seventeen bowls of spirits. Seventeen warriors who were about to leave the city to attack the Guangdong Navy at night picked up the big bowls from the table, and then drank them all in one gulp. .

"Brothers, come with me!"

With a "bang", Chen Mo threw the big bowl in his hand to the ground, clasped his fists at Zhou Shixiang, Song Xianggong and others, turned around and grabbed the long rope and climbed down the city.

"Please Qianhu Jinghou Jiayin!"

Qi Hao didn't say anything else, he clasped his fist and climbed down from the city after him. After a while, the seventeen people descended the city one after another, disappearing into the night in an instant.

Looking at Qi Hao and his party who had disappeared without a trace, Zhou Shixiang murmured in a low voice: "Feng Xiaoxiao Xi Yi Shuihan, the strong man will never return!"

"The people in front are on guard, the people behind keep up!"

In the darkness of the reeds, Qi Hao and Chen Mo carefully groped forward. The night attack was about whether the Qing army in Guangdong could be restrained from advancing westward, and it was also a matter of life and death. Put it aside, but the inner tension and anxiety have not been reduced by half.

Four people in the team were carrying waterproof bags made of cowhide. The four bags contained a total of 130 catties of medicine, of which 60 catties were the only pellets of gunpowder left in the trap camp. If the night attack was unsuccessful, it would mean that the Taiping army would have no more gunpowder except for the remaining powder for the artillery.

In addition to the four people carrying gunpowder, the other six people each held a bundle of dry bamboo. The Taiping Army had no navy, and the navy who wanted to attack the Qing army had to have a boat, and these dried bamboos were used to build bamboo rafts. Because the weight of the bamboo carried is not light, and the bamboo is long, if there is a bump, there will be a slight collision between the bamboos, which will cause a noise. Therefore, these bamboos are tightly bound by cloth strips, and all the gaps are filled with cloth strips, so that there will be no sound on the way.

It's the same as when Qi Hao went out of town to buy salt. The Qing army still paid no attention to the tidal flats on the west side of the city, except for the occasional patrols that passed by. Basically no Qing army appeared.

The riverside is muddy. In order to move forward, everyone walks out of the city with bare feet, which makes it easier to travel on the riverside mudflat, but it also makes these men miserable, because not only is the muddy ground under their feet, but also There are many pieces of firewood that are missing, and they can bleed if they are not careful. But until I touch the riverside. None of these men cried out in pain, they just groped forward silently, silently enduring the pain under their feet.

After taking a piece of mud to block the bleeding wound under his feet, Chen Mo asked Qi Hao in a low voice, "It's almost time, people should be here, right?"

"It should be coming soon."

Qi Hao leaned over and glanced at the river, but there was nothing to see in the blackness of the river. It was estimated that Wang De was coming soon, so he didn't want to sit on the ground and wait.

All the way through the muddy ground groping forward, and carrying so many things, everyone was a little tired. Sit down and rest on the ground to regain strength.

After a while, someone in front of him whispered, "Come on!"

heard. Everyone was busy getting up from the ground, Qi Hao walked forward with three of his men, and Chen Mo led the rest to hide in the reeds.

A faint light on the Tan River in front was slowly approaching, and only after the light was close did everyone see that it was a small boat. A lantern hangs from the bow.

"Fourth Qi, do you have enough money?"

Wang De's familiar voice came from the boat, and Qi Hao watched the boat docked calmly, and then said in a deep voice: "Old rules, enough money is enough."

"Don't worry, brother, I'm the most trustworthy when it comes to buying and selling. The goods are not short of yours."

Wang De jumped off the boat with a smile, and went to get the silver bag placed in front of Qi Hao as usual. But this time, there was nothing in front of Qi Hao, and Wang Demeng's expression changed when he noticed something was wrong. Subconsciously, he took three or four steps backwards, and said sharply: "Qi Laosi, where is the silver?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard movement from the boat behind him. He turned to look at the whole person, but he didn't know when a few people had already boarded the boat. The three accomplices on the boat were controlled before they even had time to pull out their knives. Will be being held to the ship and unable to move.

Knowing that something was wrong, Wang De's back was cold, and he instinctively wanted to run, but before he could move, his neck was cold, and when he looked down, a long knife was already on his neck.

The blade of the knife has already penetrated into the flesh, and Wang De, who felt the pain in his neck, was in a daze, and said in a trembling voice, "Fourth Brother Qi, Fourth Brother, there is something to say, something to say, if there is something you can't do, brother, please ask the fourth brother. Brother Haihan, the brother will make up for the fourth brother when he turns around, and also ask the fourth brother to move the knife a little bit. It's a knife-edge meal. Just let someone bring the salt up, and move it here."

Qi Hao interrupted him coldly and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, I don't want your life, and I don't want your salt, I just borrow your boat. You'd better be smart and dare to scream, then Don't blame me for not recognizing people with this knife!"

"Yes, yes, brothers don't call, don't call for borrowing a boat?"

Realizing that Qi Hao didn't mean to kill himself, Wang De calmed down a little, but when he heard that the other party was borrowing a boat, his thoughts suddenly changed, his eyes rolled, and he laughed dryly, saying: "Why, the Taiping army in Xinhui City supports you. No longer, fourth brother just want to borrow a way to survive from brother me?"

"You don't have to worry about what I'm going to do, you can go on with this," Qi Hao said and threw the bag over. Wang De grabbed the bag and looked at it suspiciously.

"Fifty taels of gold will lend you a boat, you won't lose money in this transaction."

"Fifty taels of gold?"

Wang De's heart was abrupt, this package is full of weight, there must be fifty taels of it, gold is much more valuable than silver these days, taking fifty taels of gold IOU~www.NovelMTL.com~ This business is a huge profit. . But what is the other party doing by borrowing a boat? Is it possible that the fourth Qi is really going to run from the river?

"Stop talking nonsense, get on the boat!"

When Wang De was suspicious, Qi Hao's hand with the knife moved slightly, and the blade suddenly entered the flesh a little bit, so frightened that Wang De hurriedly followed the words and walked to the boat.

Here, Chen Mo saw that Qi Hao had controlled Wang De, and hurriedly greeted the others to come out. Everyone put the bamboo together and tied it into a bamboo raft after a while. The bamboo raft was fastened to the back of the boat with ropes, and then the salt in the boathouse was carried ashore, and then the medicine was carefully carried up.

After everything was ready, Qi Hao nodded to Chen Mo, who drew his sword and slashed at the battalion of the sailor beside him without saying a word.

The unlucky fellows of the three sailors groaned, and they were cut off the ship without even screaming, and they sank into the river in an instant. Blood was splattered all over the boat.

"What are you doing?!"

The killing of his companion made Wang De lose his spirits again, but Qi Hao's voice came from his ears, "Take us to the navy camp, or you will end like them!" (To be continued)
