Chapter 92
Chen Li held the oar and carefully controlled the small boat at the riverside.

This Qingshui River must have reached the dry season. The wide river does not have the kind of rushing river that I encountered when escorting the escort. As the boat paddled by, many ships could be seen stranded on the shore.

Occasionally, candles were lit on the boat, and someone glanced at Chen Li's boat by the moonlight, and then there was no movement again.

Keep going up the river, and gradually, some villages appear in your eyes.

The moonlight casts a clear glow, and occasionally birds fly over. This is a rare moonlight beauty.

But Chen Li obviously didn't have this idea.

After talking to himself for a while, he became silent and rowed forward quickly with his oar.

His cultivation at the peak of the Bone Forging Realm gave him endless strength. During this journey, Chen Li didn't even take a break.

It didn't take long for the water village on the river bank to gradually appear in Chen Li's eyes.

At this time, Chen Li slowed down, and then moved the boat closer to the shore again.

We have already reached the territory of Qingshui Water Village. If we go further, we will reach the center of Dazhai.

But here, the boat has been difficult to move forward.

Although the Qingshui River is in the dry season, the water village seems to have considered the key points of city defense. The center is still where the current is the most turbulent. If Chen Li's boat goes further, it will be easily washed away by the rapid river water.

However, enough here.

At this time, Chen Li changed into a night suit and dressed in pure black. In the dark night, if one does not observe carefully, it is easy to be ignored.

After he changed his clothes, he went ashore, gave a soft shout to Xiang Ye, and then dived along the highest point of the water village.

Compared with Chen Li's cautious look, Xiang Ye was not so nervous.

In this environment, his five senses are extremely sensitive, and even a little wind and grass can't escape his ears. At the same time, his night vision ability is also very strong, and he can see extremely far places in the dark.

At the same time, it is assisted to develop the sense of smell and sniffing. In theory, unless he actively exposes his figure, it is difficult for anyone to find his trace.

However, it's hard to say when you enter the water village.

After all, it is human territory, and there may be some secret fortresses, hidden outposts, and the like.

Xiang Ye quickened his pace and passed by a wooden house. He moved his ears and could hear the long breathing of someone sleeping in the wooden house.

The main village of the water village is on the hillside, and it takes a long distance to walk, but Xiang Ye is not in a hurry. While walking, he carefully looks at the classical buildings built beside the Qingshui River.

The last time I came here, I just walked around the main village and left the impression that Qingshui Water Village was probably not a city. I had no other impressions.

Walking up from the foot of the mountain this time, Xiang Ye was even more impressed.

This is really a walled city, right?

Halfway through, there was a fence blocking the way.

There were not only fences, but also several rather large Juma. Behind the Juma stood a wall that was at least a foot high and made entirely of wooden poles as thick as a human arm.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Ye was startled.

Why is this Caobang's water village the same as an ancient military base?Does it need to be fenced like this?
Chen Li was also a little surprised when he saw the wall. The last time he saw such a well-defended place was at the first escort place in Changfeng Escort Agency.

But that place was obviously a military camp or something like that, and the people they saw were soldiers in armor. This canal gang was just a water transport canal city, so how could it be so tight.

Chen Li observed these fences for a while, touched them closely, and found that the wood used for this fence was still very fresh, as if it had been repaired not long ago.

Looking forward along the gap in the fence, there is actually a tower built on the mountainside.

Fortunately, the tower was dark without a trace of light, so it was obvious that no one was inside.

If there was someone stationed there, there was no doubt that Chen Li would be discovered along the way.

Naturally, the fence couldn't stop Chen Li. After observing for a while, he grabbed the railing with both hands, twisted his body, and climbed in in two or three strokes.

As for Xiang Ye, that was even simpler. After all, there was no difference between climbing a tree and climbing a fence to him.

I got in again in twos and twos, and walked forward cautiously for a while. This time I saw more village buildings, the area became larger, and at the same time, there were more candle lights. .

The voices of people chatting came to his ears from time to time. Chen Li listened for a while. It was nothing more than the harvest this year was not good, there was too little rain, the catch in the Qingshui River was also reduced, and the Qinghe Prefecture government increased taxes. Wait and complain.

It was definitely the dry season, and there had been some drought recently. After Chen Li listened for a while but did not hear any information about Ren Tianxing and his daughter, he left here and continued to sneak up the mountainside.

The largest village in Qingshui Water Village is Ren Tianxing's residence, and there is still some way to go.

Xiang Ye was on the other side, walking along the river bank.

As the terrain got higher, the farther he could see.

Under the moonlight, the sparkling Qingshui River came into view like a Milky Way, but this time Xiang Ye did not look at the Qingshui River, but stared at the Shuizhai Pier and fell into deep thought.

What you can see is an extremely large cargo ship parked on the dock, which is extremely busy even in the middle of the night.

Under the light of the torches, a large number of boatmen unloaded the goods from the boat, loaded them into carriages, and sent them to the center of the water village.

Xiang Ye glanced at the goods transported by these boatmen, which were nothing more than grain, cloth, bundles of wooden poles and the like.

Wait, how come this wooden pole is the same size and length as a spear?

The length of the wooden pole is about one foot, just big enough for a person to hold. At this time, as long as the spear head is attached, it will be a long spear.

Does the Caobang still help people transport arms?

No, this is the water village of Caobang, not the wharf of Qinghe Mansion. This thing is for their own use.

Xiang Ye thought of the fence he saw before, and took a breath. My good guy, this Cao Gang is thinking of rebelling, right?
You, a gang doing water transportation in Qinghe Mansion, a gang that can't even defeat the Qinglong Gang, have such big ambitions to do this?Who gave you the courage?
But soon, Xiang Ye understood who gave them the courage.

At this time, several men wearing chainmail and holding long guns suddenly appeared on the dock. Like overseers, they patrolled the dock and then entered the cabin.

Those people were properly soldiers. Except for soldiers who could wear armor, ordinary people would never dare to wear it like this.

Does Caobang have a backer again?This time it's not Changfeng Escort, but real soldiers?
Should we just let the people from Caobang transport military supplies?
After all, most of the water transportation of Qinghe Mansion relies on the water transportation of the Cao Gang, so it is understandable for the Cao Gang to be responsible for the water transportation.

But the problem is that these military supplies are obviously transported to the water village.

what happened?

After observing for a moment, the soldiers wearing chainmail came out of the cabin again. This time they had several large knives in their hands.

This is not the long knife carried by warriors, but the long-handled Yanyue knife used for charging on the battlefield.

"What do these Cao Gang people want to do? Why are they getting together with the soldiers?"

Chen Li searched for Xiang Ye's location for a long time, and finally found him on the cliff near the river bank. Then he followed Xiang Ye's gaze and looked down. Chen Li was also shocked.

He just wanted to inquire about the situation of Ren Tianxing's father and daughter, but in the scene he saw right now, he seemed to have discovered some terrible secret.

Xiang Ye turned his head and looked at Chen Li, wanting to know Chen Li's plan.

Seeing this scene, regardless of whether the Cao Gang colluded with the soldiers or not, if outsiders discovered these situations and were caught, it would be up to spies to deal with them.

As long as they are not one of our own people, they will be executed immediately if they seize this munitions transportation.

Chen Li seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. He hid behind a boulder, his expression changing.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and stood up again.

"Xiong Da, let's keep going. There was no one guarding the tower before. Obviously, the Cao Gang hasn't been set up yet. We will definitely not have such a good opportunity next time."

"I must know Ren Tianxing's movements."

This time, it was obvious that the defensive facilities of the water village were not complete. When all the fences were repaired and the patrolling personnel were in place, Chen Li would definitely not have the chance to come again.

Therefore, Chen Li never gave up this time.

As he said that, Chen Li didn't look at the boatman on the pier, but stepped into the night again and walked towards the halfway up the mountain.

Only this time, Chen Li became extremely cautious.

He carefully hid his body and avoided those unimportant village buildings.

His goal is very clear, which is the water village building on the mountainside.

Xiang Ye followed, and also became extremely vigilant. This water stronghold was called a water stronghold, but now it seemed that it was a military point that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Xiang Ye felt a thrill of touching the enemy's military restricted area, which slightly made his blood boil.

won't be caught?

Just as he was thinking this, bursts of dog barking suddenly sounded from the village not far away.

Xiang Ye's face darkened, why do everyone like to keep dogs to guard the house?

Are you annoyed that there are dogs everywhere you go?
Chen Li was also a little nervous at this time. He was not afraid of dogs. He was afraid of people who were awakened. He was about to follow the sound and beat the dog to death, but Xiang Ye rushed faster, and a white shadow passed in front of Chen Li's eyes. After passing by, I saw that Xiang Ye had climbed into the wall of the village building and disappeared.

After a while, there was a whimpering sound from the yard, and then it fell silent.

Get it done.

Xiang Ye climbed out of the wall again, with some blood on his claws.

The owner of the house was not awakened, so he could continue to the main village.

When Chen Li saw Xiang Ye leaving and returning, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Xiong Da is still very powerful. This troublesome dog can be solved in one go. If it were him, he might not be able to deal with it in a short while.

After getting rid of this troublesome dog, Chen Li became more careful. He only went to secluded places, and sometimes he didn't walk when there was a road, preferring to climb along the cliffs by the river.

Although there is the rushing Qingshui River below, which is several hundred meters high, at least it can avoid being discovered.

Xiang Ye also followed behind, following step by step. His claws could firmly lock on the hard rock and he could walk faster than Chen Li.

Not long after, Chen Li and Xiang Ye finally arrived at the destination of the trip.

A huge water village appeared in their eyes, and the plaque "Qinghe Water Village" on the village was clearly visible.
