"As long as we get through here, we will be able to reach Jianzhou within ten days, and we will be greeted by the prince's army at that time, and we will be done. If we go by land and wait for half a month, it will be a long night with many dreams."

The two sides insisted on their own words and could not stop arguing.

Dali Sicheng and the others hesitated. Both sides had reasons, but both had disadvantages. It didn't feel safe to choose any one.

Then I will give you another fire Xu Qi'an sneered and said:

"Going by land is a long night and dreamy, but there is still room for maneuver. If we encounter an ambush here tomorrow, the entire army will be wiped out and there will be no chance."

The expressions of the two censors and Dali Sicheng immediately changed.

"I agree with Mr. Xu's decision to change the route." Chen Butou of the Ministry of Criminal Justice said first.

"I also agree with Master Xu's decision, prepare quickly and change the route tomorrow." Dali Si Cheng immediately echoed.

The two censors also chose to support Xu Qi'an, because his words hit the vital point of the officials.Compared with the land route that may be more troublesome and tiring, the waterway that is wiped out in waves is more daunting.

No one dared to gamble with their lives.

Chu Xianglong's cheek muscles twitched, furious in his heart, he stared at Xu Qi'an fiercely, and said: "Xu Qi'an, I want to gamble with you, what if I don't encounter an ambush in this river basin tomorrow?"

Xu Qi'an pressed his hands on the table, not letting him look at each other: "From now on, you will have the final say on everything about the mission. But what if you encounter an ambush?"

Chu Xianglong said: "You say one, I will never say two."

Xu Qi'an curled his lips, and said disdainfully: "Now I say one, do you dare to say two? Don't come here, and give me some benefits."

"what do you want."

"3000 taels of silver, and the camp records of the northern guards."

"it is good."

Chu Xianglong agreed without hesitation, but he thought in his heart that he would regret it at that time. When it came to the northern border, he still had the final say.There are soldiers and generals under his command, and King Zhenbei supports him.

Xu Qi'an sneered and said, "Leave written evidence."

Chu Xianglong bit the bullet: "Okay, but if you lose, you have to give me 3000 taels of silver."

The two sides have established written documents, but did not draw a pledge, and have to wait for the results tomorrow.

Xu Qi'an turned to look at Yang Yan, and said in a negotiating tone: "Boss, you take the boatman to test tomorrow, how many people can you take away at most?"

Yang Yan thought for a while and said, "Six."

The six people obviously couldn't steer the boat, but Yang Yan could only take six people away. If there was an ambush tomorrow, the rest of the boatmen would be dead. When Xu Qi'an was in danger, he heard Yang Yan say:

"Tomorrow I can use the air engine to push the sails and steer the boat, so I don't need a boatman to paddle. I just need a few people to steer the boat."

With the level of the boss, it shouldn't be a problem to control the ship for a short time. He let out a breath of foul air from the bottom of his heart: "Okay, let's do it like this."

After the plan to change the route was finalized, the officials of the third department and the unwilling Chu Xianglong immediately went to prepare for the disembarkation and informed the guards, female relatives and other accompanying personnel on board.

Xu Qi'an did not leave, but sat at the table, took a sip of tea, and analyzed: "If there is no ambush tomorrow, it means that the so-called enemy does not exist, or it is too late to set up an ambush.

"In this way we can breathe a sigh of relief, and if the enemy does not exist, even if Chu Xianglong has the final say in the mission, the problem will not be a big problem. At most, we can bear him for a few days."

The bet is not a matter of will, even if there is no such bet, Xu Qi'an would privately ask Yang Yan to take a test boat tomorrow.

Yang Yan nodded: "But if there is an ambush"

"Then we will be in trouble. Before we reach the northern border, we will blame that princess first." Xu Qi'an sighed and lowered his voice:

"If the situation is so bad, I have a plan, boss, I will discuss with you"

The next morning.

A procession of 200 men left Butter County, four carriages, eighteen flatbed wagons loaded with supplies, and forty horses.

As for the soldiers brought by the imperial army and Chu Xianglong, they ran forward.

The team headed north along the official road amidst the dust.

"If there is no ambush on Yang Yan's side, then after two days of land travel, we have to change the water route again. The land route is really tiring, and the boat and car are tiring." Xu Qi'an sat on the horseback, muttering to himself.

The horse under the crotch is an ordinary brown horse, far from being comparable to a filly.

At this time, he saw the curtain of a carriage behind him lifted, revealing an ordinary face, waving at him.

Xu Qi'an turned his horse's head, walked slowly to the side of the carriage, and said with a smile, "Auntie, what's the matter."

"Why do you want to go by land instead?" Sitting in the slightly bumpy carriage, her chest trembled slightly, telling her unknown and powerful capital.

"For the safety of your concubine." Xu Qi'an said.

She thought about it, but she didn't argue subconsciously. Instead, she nodded cautiously, expressing her agreement with the reason.

at dusk.

Liushi Beach is so named because of the rapid current that even stones can be washed away.

The green hills on both sides are arched, and the width of the river is as wide as a woman's slender waist, with the sound of the water and the splash of white foam.

A huge three-masted sailboat slowly approached, went upstream, and reached the middle of the flowstone beach. The turbulent water surface suddenly raised waves, and a thick object covered with black scales arched and sank into the water again.

After a few seconds of silence, there was only a bang, and the huge three-masted sailboat was set off high.

Amidst the gushing water, a black-scaled dragon broke through the waves, its horns embedded in the bottom of the boat, and lifted it into the air.

"crack clap"

Cracks spread all over the hull in an instant, and the large official ship, which could carry more than 200 people, fell apart, and the debris crashed down.

The moment the boat was set off, Yang Yan used his qi machine to engulf the six boatmen and rise up into the air. The powerful qi machine exploded under his feet, pushing him up and up, and swept away.

Jiaolong plunged headlong into the bottom of the water, splashing white foam, and after a while, a man in a black robe emerged from the water, standing on the water.

He has feminine features, a hooked nose, narrow and long eyes, vertical pupils, the flowing pupils are cold and ruthless, and fine scales grow on both sides of his cheeks.

The man in black robe glanced at the pieces of broken wood that were washed away by the water, snorted, and said in a cold voice, "I've been tricked."

"They can't escape."

From the dense forest on the shore, a young man came out, dressed in white, standing with his hands behind his back.

The man in white was not angry or disappointed because of the failure of the ambush. He said calmly: "We have dispatched enough people this time. With only a fourth-rank Yang Yan, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists. The princess is in our bag." things."

The black-robed man frowned and said, "Are you sure there are no other four ranks in the mission?"
