Chapter 53 The Final Fight

The situation was so urgent that the gate of the Chu Prince's Mansion was already in chaos. Cheng Yannian shouted loudly and led more than 100 people to rush towards the dock like lightning. Zhao Wuji no longer had any concealment. He ignored the obstruction of the Chu Prince's Mansion family and led Zhao Dafei out of the dock and also got on the horse to chase Cheng Yannian. Soon, Yu Ping, who received the news, also led more than a dozen subordinates to run towards the dock.

Li Wei was rushing and rushed to Wuchang Cargo Wharf. There were two main wharfs in Wuchang, one was the cargo wharf and the other was the passenger wharf. The private wharf of the King of Chu was located between the two wharfs.

He and Yang Ning made an appointment to meet at the cargo wharf. When they were still a hundred steps away from the wharf, Yang Ning ran out of the darkness and said anxiously: "Fifth Brother, the situation has changed."

“What has changed?”

"I went to the King of Chu Wharf. Manager Li said that Cao Tian had just left and came to the wharf, but I still couldn't see him when I chased him here."

Li Wei was looking up in the distance. The sky was covered with clouds and it was pitch black in the distance. On the dark river, the starlight of the float could be seen by chance. There was a quiet place around him, and there was no figure.

"Fifth Brother, what should I do?" Yang Ning asked nervously.

"Don't be anxious!" Li Weizheng pondered for a moment, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked anxiously: "Does Manager Li clearly say it's a cargo dock?"

"No, he just said it was a dock."

"Get on the horse quickly, let's go to the passenger terminal together." Li Wei was whipping the horse, and the two rushed towards the passenger terminal on the other side.

Cao Tian obviously heard the news of the investigation of the royal palace. He had only one choice now. Leaving Wuchang, he either took land or water. The risk of taking land was too high, and the only way to take water was fast and convenient. Li Weizheng could almost judge that Cao Tian must have gone to the passenger terminal.

The passenger terminal was five miles away. When Li Wei was running past the King of Chu Wharf, Cheng Yannian and the others arrived. There was a lot of noise on the King of Chu Wharf. He did not stop, but whipped it again and left the King of Chu Wharf far behind.

The passenger terminal was very lively. A boat just arrived on the shore. In the dark, more than a dozen carriages for passengers were parked by the road, and groups of passengers carrying large and small bags were walking towards this side.

"Brother, do you still have a ferry now?" Li Wei asked when he stopped a coachman.

"You go quickly! There is another ferry to Hankou Town, and it is about to drive."

"Thank you!" Li Weizheng rode his horse and ran towards the ferry.

Sure enough, a large ship was parked on the dock, and there was no passenger on the dock, and several dock servants were helping to carry the pedals on the boat.

"Wait a minute!" Li Wei and Yang Ning almost ran and jumped off the horse. He stumbled forward and ran a few steps. He rushed to the pedal. When the dock saw him wearing military uniform, he didn't dare to move again. He stood up and dodged to the side. The two rushed onto the big ship almost without hesitation and became the last two passengers. As soon as they got on the boat, the ferry slowly started.

The dock was very deserted, but the boat was very lively. Perhaps because of the big banquet for guests from the Chu Palace today, the boat was filled with passengers coming to Wuchang to join in the fun and prepare to go home. There were at least two or three hundred people, but the light was dark and I couldn't see the passengers clearly.

At this time, a crew member came forward with a lantern and smiled, "Mr. Jun, do you want to take the cabin?"

Li Wei suddenly felt his voice sound familiar, and carefully identified it. It turned out that this person was the crew member who helped him fight last time, and the ship was the same boat he had been on last time.

"Do you still know me?" Li Weizheng smiled.

The crew member was stunned. He raised the lantern and took a closer look, and recognized Li Weizheng. No wonder, the two hundred guan coins of money were a fortune for a small servant like him, and he kept thinking about it.

"So it's you," the crew member said happily: "It's you, Jun Ye. No wonder the people from the Chu Prince's Mansion dared not do anything to you last time!"

"Didn't your boat run to Hanyang? Why did you leave Hankou again?" Li Weizheng asked again.

"Hanyang, isn't Hankou the same thing? We ran the next day, and it's Hankou's turn today." The crew member was uneasy last time and was always feeling uneasy, and then hurriedly said: "Mr. Jun, if you need any help, just speak."

"Haha! What a coincidence. I really need your help today." Li Weizheng took out a stack of treasure money and whispered: "Help me find someone on the boat. If you find it, the three hundred guan will belong to you."

The crew member was overjoyed and found someone on the boat. It was easy for him to be rich again. He nodded repeatedly, "June Jung-san, even if he ordered, I will find it."

"Okay, call a few more crew members and go find them with me, brother. Remember! If you find them, you can't alarm the snake. You must prevent him from jumping into the river and running away." Speaking of this, Li Wei turned around and gave Yang Ning a wink. Yang Ning nodded and then walked quickly with the crew.

At this time, the ship had already been hundreds of steps away from the dock. Li Wei was walking to the side of the boat and staring at the movements on the King of Chu pier. The shore was still silent. "Strange, did they not think that Cao Tian would escape from the waterway? Did they have any other discoveries?"

Just as he was thinking, there was a faint sound of horse hooves coming from the west, and a large group of people were running towards this side. Sure enough, Li Wei was turning back and leaving, when suddenly, he saw a small boat on the river, heading towards this side, as if someone was shouting.

"Stop the boat! Stop the boat for me!" This is Cheng Yannian's roar, which can be clearly heard.

Li Wei was turning around and running towards the cabin, but time was extremely tight.

The big ship stopped moving forward and began to turn around slowly. At this time, Cheng Yannian climbed onto the big ship with a dozen people. His deputy general Han Danding followed closely behind him, and Zhao Shisanlang stayed on the boat to wait because of seasickness.

"You bastard! Can't you hear me calling the boat?"

Cheng Yannian roared at the boss of the ship very fiercely: "I will drive all the passengers to the deck, and no one is allowed to be missed!"

"Yes! Yes!" The boss of the ship was so scared that his calves cramped and rolled and crawled to greet the crew, "Go and concentrate the passengers on the deck, the plague god is here."

Amid the shouts of the crew, groups of passengers went to the deck helplessly, and the low complaints and the cry of the children were connected. Cheng Yannian and his followers stood at the hatch, staring at everyone's faces.

At this time, Li Weizheng, Yang Ning and the two crew members had already found the last cabin. The lights were too dark and they could not see the face clearly. Sweat had begun to ooze on him. Suddenly, Yang Ning touched Li Weizheng and pointed under a bench.

In the darkness, I saw the bench full of luggage, but there was a faint shadow behind the luggage, and there seemed to be someone hiding there.

"What are you doing here? Go outside quickly." A crew member kicked the black shadow.

"I'm sick and can't move. I'll give you this little money! Help."

"It's him!" Yang Ning heard the voice of this person. It was Cao Tian they were looking for. He was about to step forward, but Li Weizheng grabbed him, "Wait a minute!"

So what if the letter is found? There are only two of them, and they are not Han Yannian's opponents at all. He had already thought of a countermeasure just now, "Come here!" Li Wei whispered a few times in his ear, then took out a letter and handed it to him, "Remember, moves must be fast, I believe you can do it."

After giving the order, Li Wei was walking quickly towards the inner cabin and soon disappeared into the darkness. At this time, the crew members' anger and beating sounded suddenly in the cabin, followed by a sorrowful begging for mercy, "I will tell you, spare my life!"

























Cheng Yannian, who was guarding the hatch of another ship, heard the shouting. He rushed into the cabin with his followers like a strong wind. He saw two crew members beating one. The man knelt on the ground, trembling all over in pain.

"Stop it!" Cheng Yannian rushed up and kicked the two crew members away. He grabbed the man on the ground and looked at his face carefully. It turned out that he was the tuberculosis that day.

"I'm really cheated by you." Cheng Yannian said with a grim smile on his face: "Where is your faith! Where is it?"

"Here!" Cao Tian trembled and took out a letter from his almost torn clothes. Cheng Yannian snatched it and looked at the letter skin in the light. He saw that it said: General Liang Duke Lan Yuqi, signed by Zhu Biao.

"I finally got it!" Cheng Yannian laughed. He kicked Cao Tian away and said to his left and right: "Take him off the boat!"

At this time, the ship was not far from the shore. Cheng Yannian walked to the bow of the ship and waited for the large ship to dock. Han Danding next to him stepped forward and whispered: "Qianhu, I'm very worried that someone will compete for this letter on the shore."

One sentence reminded Cheng Yannian, yes! He finally got the letter. If someone plotted against it, it would be better to lose. He immediately said: "Okay, I will walk through the water. Take your brothers ashore and lead me away the ambush."

"Abide by the order!"

The boat stopped again, Cheng Yannian climbed down a lanyard ladder, Han calmly watched his head slowly disappear from the side of the boat, and a smug smile appeared in his eyes.

A small boat under the big ship was waiting for Cheng Yannian. Zhao Shisanlang reached out to help him with a smile, and his smile seemed like a big bad wolf was welcoming Little Red Riding Hood into the house.

"Qianhu, be careful." Zhao Shisanlang held his arm

"You bastard, you just called seasick and refused to go up. Why didn't you feel faint now?" Cheng Yannian was in a very refreshing mood. He laughed and ordered: "Drive the boat and go back to our pier."

The boat gradually sailed into the river under the rocking of two boatmen. At this time, the boat had already docked. More than a dozen Cheng Yannian men on the boat carried Cao Tian to the shore. Han calmly walked at the end. He stared at the river, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, a few long screams came from the river, and then they became silent again.

























The big ship stayed on the shore for about a quarter of an hour, and then boarded many passengers who were preparing to wait for the last ship. The big ship finally left the dock and headed towards Hankou. Li Wei was standing on the side of the ship, feeling very relaxed. He had half a letter in his hand. This was the true letter the prince replied to Lan Yu. He had been replaced by Yang Ning just now when he beat Cao Tian.

Li Weizheng tore the letter into two and gave half to Yang Ning, and ordered him to go ashore and hand it over to Yu Ping. Only by dividing the credit can Yu Ping's dissatisfaction be calmed. At the same time, Yang Ning wanted to go back to the house to pack up his things, and they made an appointment to meet in Hankou.

The big ship sailed into the vast river, the river fog was filled with a hint of chill in the wind, and there was silence around him. Li Wei was stretching a long time and walking towards his single cabin. As soon as he walked into the cabin, he almost collided with a person head-on. Li Wei was stunned. How could there be someone in his cabin? After seeing the other person's face clearly, he shouted: "How could it be you?"
