In the bleak dead wood forest, a group of guards guarded three carriages and slowly moved forward. The sound of turbulent water could be heard vaguely in front of him. Not far away was a turbid river rushing down, and no ships were seen on the rolling river surface, and ordinary ships were not allowed to pass through such a stream.

However, after crossing the yellow river, the bank opposite was lush and lush, with dense woods extending from the river bank to the distant mountains to the back of the ridge. The north bank separated by a river were completely two heavens and earths.

This is the boundary line between the Yellow River and Song and Zhao countries. After three days of day and night, Tianyou and his party finally arrived here. The withered woodland north of the river bank belongs to Zhao countries. Looking around, there are yellow sand and dead trees everywhere. Although the other side of the river is separated by a river, it does not speak of birds singing and flowers, it is also a good place for green trees. Thinking of the sudden changes that are so far away, Tianyou and his party subconsciously touched the bricks in their arms, and then their eyes became more and more firm.

"Tianyou, is there really no boat here to pass?" Bai Bingyu poked his head out of the carriage and asked anxiously.

Tianyou drove the spirit cavalry under his crotch to go up a few steps forward and headed side by side with the carriage, then shook his head and said, "It's not that there is no boat, but that's not here. The Yellow River between Song and Zhao is narrow and turbulent, and ordinary small boats cannot cross it. The border residents of the two countries have large ferries dedicated to ferrying in the river, but this boat must borrow a special dock to dock, and this kind of no-man's land cannot be passed."

"Then we...?"

"Don't worry." Tianyou smiled with a peaceful smile, "It's like there are rat roads connected inside and outside the royal city, and there are hidden ferries at both ends of the river bank. It's just that the places are often changed, which is not easy for ordinary people to discover." As the two were talking, Tianyou suddenly looked ahead and smiled, "Come on, there is a place here."

"Where? Why can't I see it?" Bai Bingyu stretched out his head and found nothing. There were neither boats nor pontoon bridges on the river bank. Except for the strangeness of the lonely wooden pillars standing on the shore not far away, there was no special point at all.

The others in the car also got out of the car at this time, but like Bai Bingyu, they could not find any tools to cross the river. They couldn't help but look at Tianyou again, wanting him to explain it. However, Tianyou smiled and refused to answer, but he just speeded up the horse and ran over, until the thick wooden pillar standing on the bank of the river stopped.

Tianyou turned over and dismounted the horse, put away the spirit cavalry and searched left and right, and soon found what he was looking for not far away. He walked over and opened a piece of soil with dead branches, and there was a flaring jar below. He did not rush to reach out, but found two dead branches to remove the branches and make a chopstick-like structure. Then he used these two dead branches to penetrate the jar and tried it a few times, and quickly picked up a piece of rag. He lifted the rag halfway, Tianyou looked at it and shook it hard a few times. A thud sound came from the jar immediately, and then a rustling sharp object scraped the inner wall of the jar. Tianyou then picked up the whole piece of cloth.

He resealed the hole with the previous piece of soil, Tianyou threw away the dead branches, took the strip of cloth he had just taken out to the edge of the wooden pillar and surrounded it and tied a slip knot.

Everyone else behind had already dismounted. At this time, they all gathered around to see what Tianyou was doing. After watching for a long time, they became more and more confused. Bai Bingqian walked to the edge of the cloth strip and looked at it. She found that it was just a few pieces of rags of different colors sewn together, and there was no way to see the tricks.

Pang Dahai couldn't help but ask Tianyou: "What are you doing?"

"This is a secret code that tells the ferryers that we are going to cross the river."

"Then what's going on with your cloth?" Zhao Lingyun also asked curiously.

While watching the nearby mountaintop, Tianyou replied: "This is the agreed code. Even if someone who doesn't knows, he doesn't know how to call people. He must take out the cloth strips placed by the ferryman from the jar and tie them to the pillars. Moreover, there are poisonous scorpions in the jar. Those who don't know will probably die if they reach out and dig in."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and finally understood what Tianyou had shaken off before.

"I didn't expect that there were so many things to pay attention to when crossing a river." Bai Ningshuang sighed.

Tianyou smiled. "Of course there is no need to be such a trouble when crossing the river normally. The key is that we are smuggling, so of course we have to be more careful. If you are afraid of being discovered, the ferryman will be afraid."

As he was speaking, a half-old child suddenly appeared on the mountain, and he jumped and fell down from the mountain. However, the child passed by clearly put on a look of fear, and then carefully bypassed the crowd, as if he was just passing by. Tianyou explained to everyone: "This is a test. If you want to cut the incision, if you don't meet it, the child will insist that he is just playing nearby and preparing to go home."

Everyone suddenly realized, but Tianyou had already called the child. "Old man, stay."

As soon as he said this, the child stopped immediately, first looked at Tianyou and others strangely, and then asked back: "Do you have a bad look? He is still a child, why do you call me an old man?"

"Because I'm calling the boatman behind you."

As soon as this was said, the child immediately relaxed, ran over with a smile and bowed, and then asked like a little adult: "How many people are there to be objectively asked, can there be a large item?"

Tianyou pointed around: "31 people, no salutes. I don't want this carriage, so I'll deal with it on my behalf."

The child glanced at the carriage and asked again: "Are you going to kill me?"

Tianyou nodded. "It's burning."

"Old rule, 5 taels each time, no problem, right?"

Tianyou nodded with a smile, "It's much more expensive than before, but it's no problem."

The child also laughed. "The government has added more money, so we can't do anything about it. Okay, please wait, I'll call someone now." After that, he turned around and ran out again.

Bai Bingyu looked at Tianyou curiously: "They have nothing, how can they take us across the river later?"

"You don't have to worry about this. How can people do business if they eat this bite of food?"

Just as Tianyou was talking, the child had already run up to the hillside and pushed down a small tree on the top of the hillside. Tianyou immediately turned around to look at the other side. Sure enough, a small tree over there fell soon.

The children here saw the tree falling, so they turned around and ran down the other side of the hill. Tianyou didn't use Pang Dahai and the others asked, and explained: "This is sending a message to the other side to prepare for the response."

Sure enough, a lot of people came to the bank opposite, standing by the river and looking here. However, most of these people were empty-handed, and only a few were carrying long bamboo poles with iron hooks in front of them. Tianyou bowed to the opposite side through the river, and the other side bowed politely, but did not move further.

"I understand. This coffin is made of wood like a boat, so it will definitely not sink when it goes into the water. Moreover, the cover is so tightly sealed that it is calculated that the coffin can overturn in the water and it will also float upside down, and it will not sink to the bottom of the water no matter what."

The person who spoke was a wolf soldier. Tianyou didn't expect that there was such a lively thought in the wolf soldier. He couldn't help but take a look and found that he was still a very young girl.

Tianyou felt a little embarrassed to see it, the wolf soldier girl quickly explained: "My brother-in-law's family is a carpenter. When I visited my sister, I saw his family make horse boats for people. It feels similar to this coffin, just multiple lids."

Pang Dahai was still a little uncomfortable and said, "But you have to lie in the coffin, isn't it a bit...?"

"What else should you have to be a monk? Are you still worried about being buried in the future?"

As long as the monks do not die unexpectedly until they practice, there are usually only two situations. One is to continue practicing continuously, and the other is that they cannot pass the level of cultivation and eventually turn into ashes. Coffins, etc.... It does not exist. It is basically impossible for monks to use. After all, if they die unexpectedly, they may not have the chance to collect corpses.

Here Tianyou started choosing a coffin, and the others went to the river to watch the villagers work.

At some point, someone had a special iron ring with a special structure on the wooden pillar, and then a winch was installed. The ring-shaped hemp rope that had been pulled out of water had been put on the winch. Some villagers brought a single long hemp rope and tied one end to the ring-shaped hemp rope. Then the villagers on both sides began to work together to turn the winch. As the ring-shaped hemp rope turned, the hemp rope on this side was sent little by little to the other side.

When the rope head reached the other side, the villagers on the opposite side immediately untied the rope head, then pulled it to a large rock on the side of the road to tie it tightly. Several people were watching it loose. The villagers here pulled this end of the rope to the shore, and then waited for Tianyou and the others to choose a coffin.

It was not the first time Tianyou came, so he was familiar with the road and directly ordered the coffin for a single person. "Senior Sister Zhao, you are the first to pass. Go there first to call us a front station. I will be the last one to go there later. Everyone will listen. In case of an accident in the middle, it is necessary to end the river halfway, all those who pass first will follow the command of Senior Sister Zhao, and the people here will be commanded by me. We will find another way to cross the river. Those who pass first do not have to wait for us. After crossing the river, they will send the things back to China first. Let's see you when we go back. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded.

Tianyou said to Zhao Lingyun again: "Senior Sister, you will take the thing on you first. After crossing the river, you told the person opposite that we will have the weight of two people on our body. Let them have a few more people, so that the rope will slip away."

"Okay, don't worry."

Tianyou nodded, then turned around and said to the old man, "Okay, let's start."

Zhao Lingyun jumped into the coffin, and the villagers immediately sealed the cover on the coffin, and then several people worked together to carry the coffin to the riverside. Here, the villagers pulled this end of the rope that had been sent over, passed through the pre-installed iron rings at the eight top corners of the coffin, and then confirmed that the binding was strong and then delivered the shrub to another group of people.

These people rolled up their trouser legs and tied them with hemp ropes on their waists. They carefully carried the coffin into the river, and then placed the coffin in the water.

The coffin is not as thick as a real coffin, so it has greater buoyancy and it floats up easily, and then it begins to float downstream with the power of the water flow. However, because the length of the rope is limited, it is quickly straightened. The coffin that has no way to continue floating downstream naturally began to lean towards the other side of the river, and there is no need for anyone to pull the rope.

Bai Bingyu and the others were all surprised when they saw this way of crossing the river for the first time. They saw that the coffin was floating in the river, sometimes sinking into the water, and sometimes most of them emerged, and they would roll a few times from time to time. If an ordinary boat had already been overturned, it would have sunk. However, this thing was sealed and no matter how much it rolled, it would have been sinking. The people inside could not fall out at all.

The water speed was very fast, and the rope quickly swung naturally to pull the coffin to the opposite bank. Several villagers holding Changgou hooked the iron ring on the coffin with the iron hook at the top of the bamboo pole, and then several bamboo poles worked together to finally pull the coffin to the shallows by the river. The villagers who had been waiting on the side immediately went over and lifted the coffin to the shore. When they opened the cover, they saw Zhao Lingyun jumping out of it. As soon as they landed on the ground, they immediately started to retching. However, they vomited for a long time but didn't spit out anything.

Looking at Zhao Lingyun opposite, Tianyou looked dark. He forgot to wake up seasickness.

The river in front of me is the source of the Yellow River. Although the river surface is not wide, it is extremely turbulent, so the boat is easy to overturn. Although this coffin is not afraid of overturning, people follow the washing machine drum inside, and most people really can't stand it. Zhao Lingyun's dry retching is pretty good, and many people are there who are vomiting.

After releasing Zhao Lingyun, the person on the opposite side immediately sent the rope tied to the stone here, and then pushed the empty coffin into the water in the same way, then pulled it here and sent it back to the ashore, and then sent the rope back to start transporting the second batch immediately.

This time Tianyou chose a double coffin, but only Bai Bingqian was allowed to go in alone because she was tied with gold bricks on her body. She looked like she was alone, but in fact she could hold on to two people. The single coffin was more comfortable, but she couldn't bear such a large weight. If she sinks down and hangs something, it would be troublesome.

With Zhao Lingyun's past lessons, everyone behind them also understood the process, and it was not too slow to have one person at a time. After all the 18 gold bricks passed, Tianyou simply chose a two-person coffin, and two people accelerated at a time.

After five consecutive sets of double-person coffins were sent, only the last group of Tianyou and Bai Bingyu remained.

Before, I saw that there was no problem with others going through, but Tianyou found that it was inappropriate when he was sealed into the coffin. There were only two men in the team. Pang Dahai came over with the gold bricks alone, but Tianyou wanted to use a coffin with Bai Bingyu. The first five pairs were all in groups of two women, so it was nothing to hug each other, but Tianyou and Bai Bingyu were obviously inappropriate.

It’s not that you care about the reputation, etiquette, and monks don’t care about the gossip between these ordinary people at all. Not caring about public opinion does not mean that you don’t value chastity. Bai Bingyu doesn’t mind others talking nonsense, but you can’t really do it. The problem is that Tianyou doesn’t want to do anything, but when he gets into the water, he finds that he can’t control it at all.

The coffin began to tilt as soon as it entered the water. Because Tianyou's weight was obviously larger than Bai Bingyu, the coffin naturally tilted towards him. Bai Bingyu was originally lying on the side of the coffin, and the two of them were not crowded, but she couldn't help but rolled over involuntarily.

Originally, it was just a little crooked, so Tianyou just kept it. But as soon as Bai Bingyu rolled over, the center of gravity of the coffin became even more crooked. So the entire coffin turned over as soon as it got into the water. Bai Bingyu also let out a muffled groan and threw herself into Tianyou's arms.

The sealed coffin was unable to see each other, and it was not too embarrassing to see each other. But the problem was that the coffin did not stop after tilting, but continued to roll forward with the push of the water. The two of them flipped over again, Bai Bingyu was directly thrown on the cover of the coffin, and Tianyou also began to slide towards her.

In desperation, Tianyou instinctively reached out to support his falling body, but he pressed it on a ball of soft flesh. An exclaim immediately came from below. Tianyou quickly moved his palm away, but his body lost support and became worse. This time he turned into a pounce on him.

"Yes...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."

Tianyou wanted to explain, but the coffin turned over again, and the two immediately changed directions again. Originally, Tianyou wanted to reach out to support each other, but unexpectedly, the coffin suddenly encountered a wave, and suddenly stopped rolling forward and began to roll backward. This time, it was caught off guard, Tianyou didn't have time to hold Bai Bingyu and started falling down again.

With the previous accident, Tianyou didn't dare to support him this time. The dark and lantern part of Bai Bingyu could not be seen at all. If he touched him randomly, the result might be worse. However, Tianyou was anxious and spread his hands and feet, and suddenly supported the coffin boards on both sides, trying to fix his body.

Originally, with Tianyou's power, this action was not impossible, but the problem was that he could hold on, but the coffin could not hold on. This thing was made of a pile of wooden boards, and it was reinforced with iron rings on the outside, but it was not a whole piece of wood. Tianyou's strength was so strong that even the thousand-year-old iron-wood support column in the Taimiao could be broken. I wonder which broken coffin board made of wood could hold on him so much strength?

With a click, there was obviously something wrong with the wooden board, and a trace of light even appeared on the coffin board, and water flowed in. Fortunately, Tianyou reacted quickly and relaxed his strength, otherwise it would be possible to directly crack the coffin.

However, he suddenly relaxed and his whole body fell down immediately. This time, because his limbs were opened, there was no obstacle at all. The next second Tianyou felt his lips hit a wet, sweet and soft, but this feeling lasted for a moment, because further down, the mouth full of bloody smell spread after the gums broke.

"ah……"

This time it was not only Tianyou, but Bai Bingyu also felt pain. It was true that they were monks, but they had not yet practiced to the point of being invulnerable to swords and guns. This was a real collision. Tianyou struggled to change his position, but he didn't want to be hugged by a pair of slender and powerful arms in the next second. He felt Bai Bingyu's smooth face pressing against his cheeks, and even the heat she exhaled from her earlobes could feel.

"Stop moving, the coffin can't hold on anymore. Just hug me like this, it's okay."

Tianyou still wanted to struggle, but Bai Bingyu tightened his arms, and he had to hug her and stopped moving. Although the two of them would still roll in the coffin, it would have nothing to do if they didn't collide with each other. Anyway, the coffin was covered with soft skin pads, so they wouldn't feel any pain when they hit it with their physical strength.

In this way, it seemed like a moment, another century passed, until the coffin stopped rolling, Tianyou was alert to separate from Bai Bingyu.

The coffin board was pulled open, and the villagers outside exclaimed when they saw the two inside, because their clothes were soaked at this time, and there was still a layer of turbid river water under the coffin.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. This boat must have been used for a long time. I really didn't expect something to happen." The villagers thought that there was something wrong with their coffin, and hurriedly apologized.

Although Tianyou didn't want to cheat people, he was embarrassed to tell the reason, so he could only follow their words. "Cough... Cough... Well, there is something wrong with your things, but we are not petty people. Just come here. You move very quickly this time, and I am very satisfied. This is an extra reward for you, so you don't have to be polite." Tianyou said, throwing down a fifty taels of silver ingot, and then greeted the others: "Let's go quickly, so that something will happen again."

"Don't you need to change your clothes?" Pang Dahai asked stupidly behind, but was pulled by Zhao Lingyun.

Bai Bingqian's eyes patrolled Tianyou and her sister's face several times, but she found no clues. However, Bai Ningshuang's expression was strange, obviously she noticed the slight swelling on the two of them, but she didn't say anything.

Of course, Bai Bingyu himself would not reveal his own shortcomings, and hurriedly urged everyone to get on the horse. Everyone, whether confused or indifferent, replaced the spirit rider.

When they arrived in Song State, there was no need to use carriages to disguise. After all the staff changed into spirit cavalry, they quickly accelerated. They quickly entered the path between the mountains and forests and disappeared, leaving only the villagers on both sides busy packing their things and evacuating the shore. Soon even the villagers walked away. Half an hour later, a team of patrolling soldiers in Zhao State passed by, and there was nothing left on the river bank.

Tianyou and the others successfully entered the scope of the State of Song, while the King of Zhao was furious.

"Idiot, trash. Call them back." Under King Zhao's throne, precious vases and porcelain were shattered all over the ground, and a group of ministers bowed their heads and said in a cold voice.

"King, although it is wrong to lose the target this time, it is important to find the bricks at this time. Don't delay major events because of anger!" The Zhao official who previously recommended Qi Chang as the chief coach of the recovery team was kneeling on the ground and persuading him. It's not that he wanted to do too much, but that's because this matter involved his nephew and the person he recommended, so he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

Although King Zhao was angry, he was not really confused. He was so angry that he wanted to throw things again. After searching for a while, he found that there was nothing to fall. He had nowhere to go and simply walked down the steps and kicked Dr. Qi. "Get out, get out of here. Tell Qi Chang and Qin Mo that they don't have to come back if they can't find the bricks. Why are you still kneeling? Why don't you get out of here?"

The ministers then rolled out and crawled. Of course, some people looked as if they were ashamed, while others had gloating expressions, but the King Zhao behind them could not see them.

In fact, the news was sent back yesterday. After chasing Qi Chang and Qin Mo for two days, they finally met a search team from the border of the neutral zone. But as soon as the two teams communicated, they found that no one saw the thief or the traces of gold bricks were found, so they immediately realized that they were chasing the wrong direction.

However, at this point, not everyone has the courage to turn around and chase after him immediately. With the last trace of fantasy, Qi Chang ordered the team to scatter on the spot and radiate to the surrounding area, carefully searching for every inch of land, and swearing to find out the thieves.

Of course, the search results can only be nothing. Tianyou and the others have never been here, so how could they find it?

Originally, Qi Chang and a group of playboys thought they were here to gilt this time, but unexpectedly such a big thing happened. Qi Chang quickly ordered someone to use a teleportation array to send the message back to his uncle, asking him to find a solution quickly. Knowing that it was Doctor Qi and not King Zhao, he had to worry about it all night but could only report it according to the facts. So the scene just now came about.

There is no way. King Zhao was angry, and Doctor Qi could only urge Qi Chang to find the whereabouts of the thief immediately, otherwise this matter would be impossible. Of course, Doctor Qi also hinted at Qi Chang that if he found out that something was impossible, he would put all the blame on Qin Mo. This is the purpose of arranging Qin Mo to assist Qi Chang. On the one hand, he could use Qin Mo's ability to help Qi Chang complete the task better, and on the other hand, if there is a mistake like now, he could push it out to thunder.

Qi Chang actually started searching with Qin Mo before he could reply. Soon, at the place where Qin Mo stayed in front of the tea stall, they found some clues. They transferred the hunting dogs to track them, climbed the mountains, and finally found the cave. Then, they were naturally hit. The man who entered the first crossed the mechanism, but the second man stepped on the branch. The lead was pulled, and the pottery jar landed on the ground. Then a violent explosion gushed out of the cave with a few feet of flames, which made Qi Chang who was waiting at the entrance of the cave. Thanks to Qin Mo's reaction, he almost threw him off the horse, otherwise it would be a big deal to keep his hair.

The cave was burned and the clues were quickly broken. Fortunately, the smell on the ground was still there, so I followed them all the way, and it took another two days. When they chased to the bank of the Yellow River and looked at the other side of the river in a daze, it was only the second day after King Zhao got angry. However, facing the current result, the two of them hesitated and dared not report it.

King Zhao issued a death order, and they didn't have to come back if they couldn't find the bricks. But now the thieves have left the scope of the Song State, and even if they chased them, they might not be able to bring the bricks safely. You should know that the bricks are not the only ones who are in Zhao State want. Although these bricks were stolen from the Taimiao of Zhao State, since they have left the Taimiao and have arrived on the territory of the Song State, once the Song people know, Qi Chang and Qin Mo do not think there is still a possibility of returning.
Chapter completed!
