Chapter 186 Salvage

Gu Yezhou smiled, sighed again, and said, "It's a pity that when I came out of the water, I saw that several constables had all been killed by bandits and could not save them. Including the three constables I brought, they all died for their lives. It's really a pity."

"Yes, but I will give them a lot of pensions." Prefect Qi smiled, "By the way, how is the situation of that strange rock? How to salvage it?"

"I also came to find an adult for this. I have asked the fishermen to check it out and said that the strange rock was too heavy and ordinary ships were afraid that they would be difficult to compete with, so they had to use the big ship. I wonder what the relationship between the prefect and the commander of the Tang Dynasty Navy in Yuezhou?"

"It's not bad! I am guarding Yuezhou, and the garrison of Yuezhou must obey my orders."

"That's great!" Gu Ye Zhou said happily, took out the golden leaf box from his arms and placed it in front of the prefect Qi.

Prefect Qi was stunned for a moment, his eyes radiated with surprise, and he said, "Sir, even if you have something to do, I will do my best. I don't need this. Haha."

Gu Yezhou smiled and said, "I want to ask the magistrate to mobilize two ships of the Tang Dynasty Navy in Yuezhou to help me salvage the strange rock. I wonder if it is possible?"

When the prefect Qi heard this, he laughed: "Although using military warships without permission is a death sentence for beheading, you both hit it off at first sight and admire your caution very much. Therefore, I decided to help you, don't worry! This matter is on me!"

"Thank you!"

—————————————————

A few days later.

Two very tall and majestic warships appeared in Shunjiang in Yuezhou.

According to the arrangement of Guyezhou, the two warships were filled with sandbags. In this way, the warships sank a lot. Then a horizontal column winch was installed between the two ships. Several thick iron chains were tied in the middle, tied the police car from below and stretched it tightly.

Everything was ready, and the warships on both sides began to transfer the sandbags on the ship to other small boats. In this way, the two warships slowly raised up under the influence of buoyancy, and finally pulled the police car out between the two reefs!

When the police car was pulled out, it was covered with mud, moss, and shells. The shell was also rusty, and it could no longer be seen as its true appearance. It was almost like a strange rock.

Gu Yezhou has not been idle these days. He spent money to hire skilled craftsmen in the city to build a wharf on the Shunjiang River. It stretched long to the center of the Shunjiang River, in a slope.

After the two warships successfully pulled the police car out of the water, Gu Yezhou immediately directed the warship to slowly move to the built dock and placed the police car on the slope.

The slope was covered with rolling wood. After loosening the rope, the police car slowly slid down the slope and finally stopped on the beach by the river.

Gu Yezhou checked again and found that the window glass was covered with thick mud, moss, etc., and it was impossible to see at all. Even the hole in the door he had opened had been blocked by debris and could not be seen. Then he felt relieved. He transported the fabric sewn in advance and covered the entire strange stone. He had to wait until the water from the engine in the car was dry before turning on and start.

He had already agreed that the prefect of Qi would send several constables and Minzhuang to guard the strange rock and not let anyone touch it. These constables and Minzhuang got the benefits of the Guyezhou, so they were naturally very dedicated.

Seeing that the police car was already under guard, he felt relieved and returned to the inn.

The next morning, he heard the crowds of people outside and didn't know what happened. He hurriedly pushed the window and looked at it. He saw that the streets were like a tide, carrying large and small bags, carrying carts and horses, holding the elderly and young, walking towards the city gate.

Ning Sanmei also got dressed, stood behind him, and looked at the pedestrians on the street in horror: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Gu Yezhou shook his head and said, "You are waiting in the house, I'll go out and ask."

As soon as he opened the door and came out, he saw Mo Huaixiang, Zeng Feixia, Zeng Lingmei both coming, with a very nervous expression and asked repeatedly what had happened.

Gu Yezhou didn't bother to talk to them. He was very worried that something might happen now, so he hurried downstairs and walked towards the door. He happened to see the inn shopkeeper who was dragging his son and daughter out. He quickly stopped him and asked what was wrong.

The shopkeeper said anxiously: "Not good! Huang Chaojun is about to fight! It will be defeated here in a few days!"

Gu Yezhou was shocked and said, "Aren't Huang Chao's army in Chang'an?"

"Yes! They are coming to us, and many bandits from other places have responded and rebelled, and they are all yelling to attack Yuezhou! Brother, run away quickly! It will be too late!" After that, he pulled his family out.

Gu Yezhou quickly went upstairs and told about this matter. The girls were shocked and didn't know what to do.

Gu Yezhou comforted them a few words and said that he would go to the yamen to inquire and verify it clearly, so that he would not scare himself.

All the girls thought this idea was good and asked him to go quickly.

Gu Yezhou came straight to the yamen.

At this moment, the yamen was already in chaos, and they were carrying boxes and carrying cabinets. Gu Yezhou quickly asked a clerk, and the answer he received was the same as the inn shopkeeper. He asked where the prefect Qi was. The clerk snorted and said disdainfully: "He? He had already escaped with his family last night! Otherwise, why would everyone have to leave!"

Gu Yezhou felt a little cold and hurried back to the inn and told him about this.

Zeng Feixia said anxiously: "Then let's go too! Huang Chao's army is no more than those bandits. They are too many people and are cruel. I heard that they are killing people and eating meat!"

These words changed everyone's face. Mo Huaixiang hugged her daughter tightly and looked at Gu Yezhou in horror: "What should I do?"

Gu Yezhou was also very anxious. He parked the police car he needed to travel back on the beach. If that thing is lost, there will be no place to regret it! He said, "Pack up your things and let's go!"

The girls thought he was talking about fleeing famine, so they quickly agreed and went back to the house to pack up their things. They quickly packed up, came out with their bags on their backs, and looked at Gu Yezhou.

Gu Yezhou carried his two bags on his back. He had put the shotgun into his bag. Because it was relatively long, the gun handle was exposed, but it didn't matter. No one in the world knew what it was.

He carried a bag, pulled Ning Sanmei, and took all the girls downstairs and walked out of the city with the flow of people.

When he arrived outside the city, he stopped and said to several women: "I'm sorry, I still have very important things to do. I can't leave now, so let's break up here."

Mo Huaixiang was shocked and said, "Sir, what else do you have to compare to your life? Huang Chaojun is about to come! They are killing people!"

Gu Yezhou smiled bitterly: "There is no way. My affairs are really more important than my life. As for what matter, I can't tell you. So, I can't leave. Sorry! Third sister, are you staying with me?" After that, he looked at Ning Sanmei inquiringly.

Ning Sanmei held Gu Yezhou's hand tightly and said tremblingly: "Husband, I'm with you in my life and death!"

Gu Yezhou held her hand tightly and nodded vigorously.

Zeng Lingmei's face was a little pale, she bit her red lips lightly, and looked at Gu Yezhou with resentment.

Gu Yezhou also looked at her and was about to speak, Ning Sanmei had already said it first, looking at Zeng Lingmei and Mo Huaixiang, and said, "Sister Zeng, and Sister Huaixiang, if you are willing, we will be with our husband in the future, okay?"

She was smart and had already seen the unusual relationship between the two and her husband. Seeing that at this critical moment of life and death, her husband was reluctant to leave them. One of the ancient women and women's ideology was that they should not be jealous. So although she felt sad, she still thought about her husband and took the initiative to make this suggestion first.

As soon as this said, both girls blushed. She naturally heard the meaning of the three girls serving the same husband in Ning Sanmei's words. She couldn't help but lowered her head and looked at Gu Yezhou with her eyes. Only Lancao was still young, and she didn't know what they were saying, look at her mother and her husband.

Gu Yezhou walked over, squatted down, held Lancao's little hand, and smiled and said, "Lancao, would you like to call me dad?"

Lancao knew a little bit of people and things, and knew the meaning of this sentence. He quickly looked at his mother again, and saw that her mother was already blushing and did not dare to look at them.

Lancao smiled, turned her face, looked at Gu Yezhou, and shouted crisply: "Dad!"

"Good daughter!" Gu Yezhou touched her little head affectionately.

Ning Sanmei hurried over, took Mo Huaixiang's hand, and looked at her with a smile. Mo Huaixiang blushed and looked at her, looked at her, lowered her head, and said, "San Mei, you are so nice."

"When he has a sister in the future, he will not dare to bully us. Hehe!" Ning Sanmei knew that Gu Yezhou had always been afraid of Mo Huaixiang. Mo Huaixiang smiled and nodded.

Gu Yezhou stood up, looked at Zeng Lingmei, reached out, took her hand, and said, "Before Lingzun died, he had already entrusted you to me. You three are my wives, okay?"

The reason why Zeng Lingmei did not agree to Gu Yezhou earlier was because she was worried that her father would not want her to be a child for others, and she herself was not willing. Now that Gu Yezhou said that marrying her is like Ning Sanmei, she naturally had no worries anymore. What's more, her father's quest to die. Zeng Lingmei was shy and nodded.

Zeng Feixia looked at them: "Hey, you all married him, what about me?" After saying this, she felt something was wrong again, and her face turned red, saying: "I won't marry you! You are just my elder brother..."

Everyone smiled. Gu Yezhou looked at her and said, "We are brothers and sisters. Now we need to stay here for brothers and do something very important. If you want, follow me and take care of each other."

Zeng Feixia sighed and said, "Okay, you all stayed. I'm scared to leave alone. Just follow you. Huang Chaojun is really here. We can hide. As long as we don't meet their large number of soldiers, we can't help but be afraid of them."
