Chapter 246 Set off! Li Libo took the tea from Fan Xinglai, gulped it down in a few gulps, and breathed heavily. The entire wharf was under martial law, and all river officials who received the order had to go out to notify everyone. He did not dare to stay for a moment and ran over holding his breath. Liang Qu had received the news in advance, so he did not dare to delay. He hurried back to the bedroom and opened the wooden box under the bed. Robes, cloaks, and waist badges were neatly stacked inside, and the two tungsten arm guards on the top were shining with dark gold light. He put on the fish king demon skin inner armor, the silk robe of the heavenly silkworm, tied a mountain cowhide belt, stepped on the cloud-stepping boots, and finally buckled on the arm guards, leaving only the cloak. As for weapons, the hundred-forged black iron bow, the Fubo long spear, and the blue wolf dagger were all equipped one by one. He put another quiver on his waist to collect his arrows. There were a total of twelve arrows in the quiver that was included when the Whale Gang was captured. All of them were over three feet long, pitch black, with cold and shining arrowheads. They were not ordinary items. Knock on the table. Awei, who was curled up on the table and sleeping, flew to Liang Qu's wrist, connecting head to tail and turning into a perfectly fitting blue jade bracelet.
After getting dressed neatly, Liang Qu followed Li Libo to Shangrao Port, where soldiers were already waiting in a small boat. There were three of them in total, two of whom were holding torches and standing in the darkness. The leading sergeant bowed. "Is Sir Liang ready?" "Everything is ready." "Please come aboard." "it is good!" The small boat suddenly took up three inches of water, and the soldiers were not surprised. Not to mention the weight of the warriors themselves, none of the weapons they use are light. "Then the three military lords, I'm leaving first?" Li Libo said goodbye and was sent here. As a river official, his mission was completed. The three soldiers had no objection. They watched Li Libo leave and rowed the boat away from the pier. The water droplets brought up by the long oars fell into the lake. Due to the curfew, no fisherman went out on the boat, the surrounding teahouses were empty, and the entire Yixing Town was exceptionally quiet, with only the sound of oars hitting the water. Ripples shatter the moonlight. The four people on the boat were all speechless. Halfway through the journey, Liang Qu saw soldiers holding torches patrolling the shore, and familiar faces from the riverside police passing by along the way, some on horseback and some on foot. "No one else is taking the boat?" The leading soldier clasped his fists and replied, "Master Liang, we are short of manpower, so we can only send a small number of ships. As for the others, you can find a way on your own." Liang Qu nodded and said no more.
When they arrived at Pingyang Port, they saw torches sticking on the railings of the ships, and the blazing flames illuminated the surroundings. The small boat did not dock, but carried Liang Qu directly to the bottom of the ship. The long wooden ladder that was originally extended had been retracted, and only several rope ladders were thrown down on one side of the ship. Liang Qu did not jump rashly. Carrying his longbow and spear, he obediently grasped the rope ladder and climbed onto the boat. It was already three quarters past midnight and the sky was pitch black. Standing on the deck and looking down, the soldiers were standing quietly in the shadows of the houses on the street, with torches lit every twenty steps, centered on the pier. They extended in all directions into several long and thin lines of fire, cutting across the entire Pingyang County. The huge flag on top of the ship was shaking in the air, firewood was crackling, and the cavalrymen were beating clappers and galloping on the long street to deliver orders and lead the officials to gather at the pier. A gust of night wind blew quickly, carrying with it water vapor, and Liang Qu's clothes were slightly wet. There are so many people. Liang Qu smoothed his clothes, condensed a few drops of water and spread them evenly on his fingertips, then quickly blew them dry in the wind. The entire river port came with great momentum, with a total of dozens of ships, including two tower ships, and many warships. Further down were merchant ships. I guess those warships were all filled with soldiers. "Master Liang, this way please." The three soldiers pulled up the iron chain and took the small boat on board. The leader took Liang Qu up to the second floor of the ship and used the key to open the door of a small room. The room is small but fully equipped. There was a single bed and a long table with a box on top. Inside the box were pens, inkstones, and a toilet bucket in the corner. The lid and the bucket were locked with a lock. This was obviously Liang Qu's room. "We're going to be gone for a long time?" The soldier shook his head: "I don't know, I just follow orders." Liang Qu pointed at the martial artists who had boarded the ship one after another and asked: "Where are they going to live?" "Their room is below deck, with a big bunk bed." "sorry to bother you." "It is my duty. Sir Liang, do you have any other instructions?" "No." "In that case, before leaving the ship, I hope Sir Liang will not move around casually. I will take my leave." "it is good." The soldier bowed and retreated. After the others left, Liang Qu put down the bow and spear he was carrying, grabbed his collar, and a stream of water flowed out. There was no ice table in the house, so it was quite stuffy. I could only carry some water with me, which was damp and really uncomfortable. He did not wear the Fish King Leather Inner Armor when he went to the auction that day because the weather was too hot. As a result, he fought with the two people from the Ghost Mother Sect and got many small cuts on his body. But now I can’t worry about whether it is comfortable or not.
From the current perspective, this trip will take quite a while, otherwise he could go back and forth within one day and there would be no need to arrange a room specially for him. “What a distinct world.” Some people live in single rooms, while others sleep in dormitory rooms. The world has always been like this. Fortunately, I was the one sleeping in the single room. Liang Qu stood at the railing and overlooked the entire Pingyang County. Martial artists from Hebo arrived one after another, boarded the ship after their identities were verified, and walked below the deck under the guidance of the soldiers. The gray stone brick pier was illuminated red by the flames, and the war horses were neighing as they were led by soldiers. At this point, everyone could guess what was going to happen, and they boarded the warship with trepidation, feeling uneasy about their future. Entering the Hebo Sogo is no different from joining the army. On weekdays, you seem to be relaxed and can come and go freely. You only need to accept tasks to exchange for various training resources. But if something really happens and they need to move out in unison, that's the real army. No one dares to slack off at this time. If they don't come and be treated as deserters, they will surely die. Liang Qu's advantage of getting the news in advance was fully revealed. Many people were still free and undisciplined before today, perhaps just crawling out of a prostitute's bed, with their belts loose. I can understand He Bo's behavior. This time they are going to do something big, and too many people will lead to losses. Any leak of information may allow the Ghost Mother Cult to learn the news in advance and escape. At about the same time, Liang Qu saw that the fire line that crisscrossed the entire Pingyang County gradually converged towards the pier and poured into the other warships at the pier. Starlight. Several soldiers on the bow held torches and exchanged signals, and the entire ship shook suddenly and violently. The river tides hit the hull, splashing up layers of white waves, and the waning moon was infinitely elongated. Following a bumpy ride, Liang Qu keenly realized that the pier was moving away from him. Weighing anchor. The soldiers on the deck remained unmoved and continued to perform their duties. Every soldier was a warrior of at least the first level, and they passed each other in an orderly manner, getting the entire ship moving without any communication. They methodically pulled down the sail and adjusted the angle of the sail. Under the cover of night, the speed of the ship gradually increased, leaving trails of white water behind it. When it was almost midnight at 11:55, Liang Qu lay on the bed, silently admiring the dark and surging lake through the porthole. The sound of footsteps in the corridor came closer and closer. A sergeant knocked on his door. "Master Liang, Master Ran wants to see you." (End of this chapter)
