Chapter 27 Qian Mo's Assassination
Although Qian Mo had been lingering with Gu Xin'er several times last night and felt a little tired, he still arrived at Nanjing's Jiangpu Wharf early in the morning.

According to the previous agreement, Zhou Boda and Xie Sanmu have been waiting here for a long time.

Xie Sanmu said: "Young Master Qian went through three levels in a row last night, and the news that he met Gu Xin'er, the courtesan of the Qinhuai River, spread all over Nanjing City. Governor Zhou and I thought we wouldn't see you today. Who is behind you?"

Qian Mo introduced: "Master Xie, Governor Zhou, this is Mr. Jiang Shanmai. Mr. has traveled all over the world, has extensive knowledge, and is familiar with water patterns and mountains and rivers in various places. He is a great talent who has never been born. Qian Mo wants to recommend it to his teacher , so that I can serve the Qing Dynasty, and this time I will go to Beijing with us."

"Governor Zhou, please introduce Yunyin's plan to Mr. Jiang!"

Zhou Boda: "Young Master Qian is the Chief Escort appointed by Governor-General Hong himself, and those with low ranks should do their best to assist you."

"According to the son's order, Beizhi transferred 3 Fuchuan and 1500 people from Wusong General Yang Wenqi's department to take charge of this shipping. Two days later, the silver was shipped from Jiangpu Wharf. In addition, Beizhi's 2 soldiers and horses were directly on standby in Zhenjiang. After the fleet arrived in Zhenjiang, Yang Wenqi led the shipping fleet and continued to escort a batch of supplies northward to Tianjin as a suspect. We then escorted Yinliang from Zhenjiang to Hangou all the way northward, arrived at Xuzhou via Huai'an, and then went all the way to Beijing along the canal."

This was a plan drawn up by himself and Zhou Boda, and Qian Mo felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

However, Maid Jiang Shan raised doubts: "The water level of the canal is seriously insufficient in winter. It will be November after arriving at the Huaihe River. The Huaihe River may be frozen. After passing through the Xuzhou section of the canal, it is impossible to pass through."

Faced with Jiang Shan's question, Master Xie said: "Don't worry, Governor Hong has contacted the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing to go south, and will pick us up in Xuzhou all the way north to Beijing. Governor Zhou just needs to transport the silver to Xuzhou this time, and it will be considered a business deal."

Qian Mo thought to himself: Damn, it's fortunate that Maid Jiang Shan saw the trick, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark by them.When I arrive in Xuzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to fly even with wings.And in this way, the plan to transfer Zhou Boda and Suzhou Bingce to Jin Shenghuan Jiangxi next year will come to nothing anyway, really underestimated old thief Hong.

Even though he was scolding his mother in his heart, on the surface Qian Mo could only praise Hong Chengchou, saying: "My teacher is really thoughtful, and he really has a plan, so we can rest easy!"

Qian Mo was suffering in his heart, he was so tightly manipulated by Hong Chengchou that he couldn't use any means.Except for a Jiang Shan servant who doesn't know his origin, there is no one available?
At this moment, Yang Wenqi, the newly appointed general of Wusong, had been waiting for Qian Mo at the pier for a long time.

Originally, Yang Wenqi was ordered to go to Nanjing to accept the award. It happened that Qian Mo proposed to increase the number of suspicious soldiers on the sea route. Considering that the Taihu water bandits had been suppressed and there was no pressure to suppress the bandits in the Suzhou area for the time being, Zhou Boda arranged for Yang Wenqi's department to take charge of this shipping task.Yang Wenqi went in without knowing it, thinking that he was very lucky. He was promoted to the general of Wusong first, and then got this "fat job" to escort Xianyin to Beijing.

On the pier, I saw a huge blessing boat docked on the shore, about 30 meters long. "This giant ship is the largest 400-meter warship in our Wusong Navy (displacement is about 200 tons). It is equipped with 12 various "Flang machine guns" on board. Its speed is extremely fast. It can be said that the journey from Nanjing to Wusong Evening arrives!" Yang Wenqi introduced proudly.

Qian Mo knew that the largest three-masted battleship in Zheng's fleet was 20 feet (66 meters) long, the main sail was 4 feet (13 meters) high, and had 5 floors. The door, equipped with 8 sailors, is the most elite warship on the coast of China today.At this time, the main fleets of the Netherlands and the Spaniards in the Far East were even larger and more advanced.In front of these advanced warships, this Fuchuan is just a decent big toy.

In fact, everyone knows that the navy of the Qing army is weak, but no one will expose this matter at this time.

Everyone was chatting and laughing happily, and boarded the ship happily to see the elegant demeanor of this battleship.

Qian Mo asked: "Mr. Yang, this ship departs from Nanjing. How long will it take to arrive in Tianjin?"

Yang Wenqi replied: "If everything goes well, we can arrive in Tianjin in more than 10 days!"

Qian Mo: "It seems that the sea route is convenient. If you are lucky, go north to Xuzhou and then transfer to Beijing by land. It will take more than a month at the earliest."

Yang Wenqi didn't know at this time that his sea transportation was just a suspicious soldier. He only thought that he would escort 500W taels of silver to Beijing, and patted his chest to promise: "Don't worry, my son, Mo will definitely deliver the silver safely!"

Qian Mo and Zhou Boda looked at each other and smiled, and Qian Mo even encouraged Yang Wenqi: "General Yang has repeatedly made great achievements, and his loyalty is commendable. This time, the bank transfer to the north is a great achievement. After entering Beijing, Qian Mo will definitely report to the emperor for his support General please credit!"

Just when Yang Wenqi was overjoyed, suddenly the servant Jiang Shan beside him pushed Qian Mo away and shouted: "Be careful!"

I saw that the cables on the mainsail on the ship were cut off, and the huge mainsail fell down and hit Qian Mo and others.

At this moment, there was chaos on the deck.Qian Mo, who was pushed away by Jiang Shan's servant, dodged the falling mainsail. Just as he was about to get up, he found an assassin jumping off the mast.The assassin was very skilled, and jumped to Qian Mo's place in an instant, the knife in his hand glowed with bursts of white light, and slashed at Qian Mo.

While chopping, the assassin yelled: "Shameless little thief, betrayed the country and surrendered to captives, counted all the classics and forgotten the ancestors, take your life!"

Qian Mo had never seen such a scene before, so he was frightened and stupid on the spot, and stood there blankly.

This kind of scene that can only be seen in TV dramas is now happening directly in front of my eyes.Subconsciously, Qian Mo wanted to run with his legs, but in fact, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move no matter what.

Is this the end of my time-traveling journey?
Thinking that it might be possible to return to the original world after death, Qian Mo also gave up struggling.So he slowly closed his eyes, and quietly faced the unknown, perhaps this was the fate of a traitor.

Seeing that Qian Mo was about to die on the spot, suddenly a knife flew towards the assassin.

Perhaps the assassin was a little distracted seeing that he was about to succeed. Although he turned sideways in time to avoid the flying knife, his left arm was still scratched by the knife.

Random Qian Mo opened his eyes, and just as the assassin was avoiding the knife, he saw a big man rushing up and kicked the assassin away.Afterwards, the two Qing soldiers closest to the assassin also slashed at the assassin with their knives.The assassin turned over with a kite and easily escaped the attack of the two Qing soldiers.After that, he didn't make any more entanglements, and came near the side of the ship with his injured left arm.

Seeing that the assassination failed, the assassin simply didn't bother, and said: "Little thief, we will meet again one day."

He chose to jump into the river without hesitation, and just escaped in full view of everyone!
