Chapter 176

Zhao Lin said helplessly: "Since you have thought it through so clearly, I will do as you say. But let me sit in the station, what can I do?"

Chen Feng ordered: "You must supervise the search and arrest work of the officers and soldiers of Changde Mansion, and don't let them conflict with the Iron Palm Gang. I think the Wang family and the Iron Palm Gang are not willing to turn their faces now. Faced with the large-scale actions of the officers and soldiers, they will choose to stand still Calculating the time, if the Six Heroes of Meishan arrive at the capital smoothly, the news from the capital will surely arrive in these two days, so you just need to prepare to meet the messenger."

"Okay." Zhao Lin agreed.

Chen Feng took Dugu Huang out, summoned Feng Ze and Shi Fenqiang, and finally came to Qian Baili: "Brother Qian, let's set off now."

Qian Baili glanced at the crowd, his gaze stayed on Dugu Huang for a moment, but he didn't show any surprise, he just asked, "Are you the only ones going?"

Chen Feng laughed and said, "There are also one hundred soldiers from Changdewei."

Qian Baili's expression finally changed, but after all, he was an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court, so it was normal for him to bring some people.

"Chen Shaoxia, I planned to go east along the river at Dongting Lake, all the way to Suzhou. It only takes two days. But my boat is too small, and I may not be able to accommodate so many of you." Qian Baili reminded.

Feng Ze said proudly: "It's not difficult. We have ships in Changdewei, so we just need to transfer one. It's not a problem to accommodate 100 people. Our warships are much faster than your small boats. It doesn't take two trips to go to Suzhou." day!"

Qian Baili looked sad, the court warships had never entered the Mantuo Villa before, if the warships swaggered into the villa like this, the whole rivers and lakes would be boiled.

"What, is there any dissatisfaction with Brother Qian?" Chen Feng asked intentionally.You invited me yourself, so don't blame me for making a fuss!

Qian Baili said: "Shaoxia Chen, our Mantuo Villa is always a power in the Jianghu, and you should be able to understand some things."

Chen Feng nodded: "How about this, I will let the warship go to Suzhou, and then only take some people to Mantuo Villa, what do you think?"

Qian Baili hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Yes."

Feng Ze went to adjust the warship. Qian Baili led Chen Feng, Dugu Huang, Shi Fenqiang and a hundred soldiers to go ahead. They were going to meet at Dongting Lake and the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Chen Feng's trip to Suzhou is not just to investigate the Mantuo Villa, Hangzhou is very close to Suzhou, and it can be reached quickly through the Grand Canal, so investigating the Wang family is also one of the purposes.

The team arrived at the mouth of the river, and after waiting for half an hour, the warships came slowly.

Feng Ze led everyone aboard. The ships of the Ming Dynasty were already relatively advanced. Zheng He made several trips to the west. The shipbuilding industry of this era could be considered to have withstood the test.

Going to Suzhou by boat, Chen Feng and the others only need to rest on the boat, with their own soldiers manning the boat, and they travel along the river to the east day and night. The waterway is probably the most comfortable way to travel.

Shi Fenqiang was not used to being among a group of mighty soldiers, but luckily he ordered people to prepare a lot of fine wine and food before boarding the ship, which were naturally for Chen Feng.With Wen Yiwu by his side, Chen Feng doesn't have to worry about anything.

After traveling for two days and one night, I arrived at Yingtian Mansion on the second night.The reason why I went to Yingtianfu was because I had to go south to the Grand Canal, so that I could reach Suzhou.At Haishi, it finally sailed safely into Taihu Lake and stopped at the port of Suzhou.

Feng Ze and Shi Fenqiang had already greeted the government along the road, usually the government might not be in the right direction, and others might not listen to what they said.But now that Chen Feng is here, and the imperial envoy is on his way, who dares to obstruct it casually?

If it hadn't been for saying along the way that no one would be received, the local officials would probably block the waterway with boats just to curry favor with Chen Feng.

This was the advantage of having the title of imperial envoy. Chen Feng had notified him in advance, so the journey was finally smooth.

It is midnight now, but there are still many people at the port to greet them.At this moment, Chen Feng couldn't avoid it anymore, he got off the boat and met those people one by one, but he couldn't even see their appearance clearly in the middle of the night, anyway, Chen Feng didn't remember anyone.

The reason why these people are so affectionate is not only because of Chen Feng's status as an imperial envoy, but also because Chen Feng, an imperial envoy, is too mysterious, and those officials don't know his purpose of going to the south of the Yangtze River.Jin Yiwei, Mingtang, and the commander of the Ouchi guards accompanied him, so it must be a big case.Regardless of whether it will involve him or not, let's flatter Chen Feng first, so that he can understand the situation.

The officials of Suzhou Mansion had already hosted a banquet, Chen Feng wanted to go to the banquet, but Qian Baili suddenly stopped him.

When the two reached the corner, Qian Baili said worriedly: "Young man Chen, you are so high-profile, how can you go to our Mantuo Villa?"

Chen Feng asked: "Speaking of which, where is your Mantuo Villa?"

Qian Baili smiled and said, "It's in the complex waterway of Taihu Lake."

Chen Feng said: "Okay, I'll find a chance to escape right away, let's go by boat!"

When he returned to the officials, Chen Feng said that he was tired from the journey and wanted to rest on the warship.

Regardless of those people's enthusiastic attempts to stay, Chen Feng returned to the ship.

The people on the shore gradually dispersed, but the officials all sent their men to guard there, as long as Chen Feng disembarked, they would be able to get the news immediately.

Chen Feng ignored them, called Feng Ze, Shi Fenqiang and Dugu Huang together, and prepared to set off for Mantuo Villa.

Qian Baili didn't know when he called the boat, and it stopped on the other side of the warship, and the people on the shore just couldn't see it.

Under the leadership of Qian Baili, the people disembarked quietly from the other side and wandered around the vast Taihu Lake in small boats.

"Brother Qian, now our wealth and lives are in your hands, don't lead us astray." Chen Feng joked.

Qian Baili smiled and said: "Young Master Chen, what are you talking about? Since it is my Mantuo Villa who invites you, I will ensure your safety!"

Chen Feng had an idea, and deliberately said: "If the enemy comes to the door, will Brother Qian help me deal with it?"

Qian Baili looked embarrassed. He didn't expect Chen Feng to say that, but the words had already been spoken, and there was nothing to evade: "As long as you are in this Taihu Lake, Mantuo Villa will definitely keep you safe."

Feng Zeqiang sneered: "Your family dug Taihu Lake? You say you can keep us safe?"

Why did this sound so awkward, Qian Baili just glanced at Feng Ze contemptuously, which made Changde's first fierce general very angry.

He pulled out his saber and shouted angrily: "What kind of look do you have, you actually look down on this general!"

Qian Baili casually slapped Feng Ze's knife with his palm, and immediately sent the knife flying, sinking into the lake and disappearing.

Feng Ze's hands were trembling, and he felt extremely painful from the strong impact, but he still shouted stubbornly: "Just wait for me, all the soldiers of our Changde Guard will remember you!"

Qian Baili sneered and said, "It's obvious that you are useless, but you still dragged the whole Changdewei into your hands."

Feng Ze was so angry that he still wanted to refute, but he was a rough man, he didn't know how to speak very much, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Chen Feng shook his head secretly, pulled him back and sat on the boat, and said: "Stop talking from now on!"

After a while, the boat sailed into a place full of islands and reefs.There are many islands and reefs, and ships can only move forward cautiously, and the islands and reefs divide the waterway into many forks. Once you choose the wrong road, you may be blocked among the islands and reefs.Finally had to go back.The deeper you go into this island group, the more difficult it is to see the exact path.In the end, you can make progress even if you advance, and you can't retreat when you retreat, and you will always be lost in Taihu Lake...
