Lu Zhenzhen took a breath.

It's three hundred people, not thirty.

With so many people, how can we avoid being noticed and bring them all with us?

Isn’t the emperor making things difficult for people?

Is it possible to make these three hundred imperial guards smaller and carry them away in your pocket?

Scratching her head, Lu Zhenzhen looked at Fu Zhiyi: "Do you have any idea?"

Fu Zhiyi was very calm: "I do have an idea, which is to break up the whole into small groups and mix these imperial guards into the entourage and merchant ships——"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhenzhen understood.

Then Lin Dejiang was the person chosen by Fu Zhiyi.

After thinking carefully, he spoke: "Judging from his performance in the past few days, although Lin Dejiang has the shrewdness and sophistication unique to businessmen, he is actually quite clear-headed, has some means in doing things, and is quite loyal. In other words, he is very knowledgeable and knows how to handle things. He doesn't ask questions that he shouldn't ask. He never forgets to send people to inquire about the situation every day. Regardless of whether they get any information or not, at least he shows his attitude -"

Speaking of this, Lu Zhenzhen thought of those merchant ships that used the power of government ships to avoid robbers, but fled for fear of being implicated.

He couldn't help but snort coldly: "At least it's much better than those people who borrowed the power of the official ship to escape, but knew that the official ship was in trouble, but they only cared about running for their lives and didn't even report it to the authorities!"

Fu Zhiyi knew that Lu Zhenzhen was standing up for him, so he rubbed Lu Zhenzhen's ears affectionately, not caring at all: "This is even better, it saves me the trouble of choosing."

"In that case, then this Lin Dejiang could be of some use."

"I've also inquired about it on the Lin family's ship these days. Lin Dejiang is also going back to South Vietnam with this batch of goods. The Lin family is also a famous merchant family in South Vietnam, and can be regarded as a local tyrant." Lu Zhenzhen just complained.

After all, when it comes to understanding human nature, she is not some ignorant lady.

Fu Zhiyi's eyes lit up, "In that case, then find a time to meet him."

Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help but remind him, "The magistrate of Tongcheng County sent a letter. I've postponed it for you for now. Do you want to meet him? Also, how many days will we leave in?"

After knowing the time, she also had some things to arrange.

Fu Zhiyi sneered, "Tongcheng County is only a day's journey from Canggou. River bandits have been rampant for years, yet Tongcheng County hasn't reported anything. Furthermore, if the Imperial Guards hadn't caused such a commotion, they would have been willing to play dumb even if we had sent someone to notify them!"

"They came to see me now, just because they wanted to start from here and find me, their victim, to speak well of them!"

"No! I'm injured now, and I have to arrange for those people. How can I have time to see them? What's more, the fate of these people is already determined. If I really meet them, I might get into trouble!"

Only then did Lu Zhenzhen nodded in satisfaction.

After the two finished talking about business, they saw that Fu Zhiyi started to feel sleepy again after drinking the medicine, so they let Fu Zhiyi go to bed to rest.

I took the charcoal pencil and started making a list.

Lin Dejiang said that Tongcheng is a relatively prosperous city on this river, and merchants traveling here will stay.

There are many shops and many things that are not available anywhere else can be seen in Tongcheng.

Fu Zhiyi needs to recuperate, so he must prepare more medicinal herbs. After all, there is still a long way to go.

And there are about three hundred more people, so a lot of things need to be prepared just in case.

In addition, various spices and seasonings should also be prepared.

We have to nourish Fu Zhiyi on the way, so we must have all kinds of delicious food.

Also, the further south you go, the warmer the weather becomes.

They didn't bring many clothes with them, so they had to buy some cloth and cut a few sets of clothes for everyone.

The more things you can buy, the better. When you see more boxes and luggage, it would make sense to have a few more "bodyguards" for protection, right?

For the next few days, except for being allowed to see Lin Dejiang, Fu Zhiyi was locked up in the room to recuperate.

Lu Zhenzhen stayed with him and did not go out. She just handed the purchase list to Daman and the others.

Ask them to ask Chef Chen and Qi Chaihu for anything else they need, and to purchase everything on the list.

If the official ship cannot accommodate the goods, you can hire another ship.

Daman and Jingzhe received the task, and Fu Zhiyi probably also gave them instructions.

The two of them quickly took people to go shopping.

Within two days, the ship was full, and two more ships were hired.

Lu Zhenzhen had seen them accidentally on the deck. The two ships looked ordinary, but the people on board, although they tried their best to cover up and conceal it, still revealed a difference from ordinary crew members and escorts.

I think the people on that boat are part of the 300 people that Fu Zhiyi wants to take to South Vietnam.

The magistrate of Tongcheng County tried to meet Fu Zhiyi several times but was rejected. It was not known whether he had given up or had other plans.

This is not something Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen should worry about.

They have been delayed for several days. If they delay any further and something goes wrong on the journey, the golden cicada may be gone by the time they reach South Vietnam.

So after seeing that a thin scab had formed on Fu Zhiyi's wound, he decided to set off again.

Lin Dejiang and several other ships that had not escaped also breathed a sigh of relief.

They followed the official ship one after another.

The boat set off again in the evening. Not long after sailing, it found a place to dock for the night.

It's late at night and everything is silent.

Except for a few lights on the official ship, all other ships had turned off their lights and fallen asleep.

In the darkness, a small boat cut through the water and quietly docked beside the official ship.

Several tall figures sneaked onto the deck without anyone noticing.

There were already people waiting in the dark on the deck. When they saw them coming up, they welcomed them inside.

In the cabin, Fu Zhiyi was reading a book under the lamp. He looked up when he heard the noise.

The door was pushed open, and Deputy Commander Wei walked in with Tang Liang and several confidants.

He smiled when he saw Fu Zhiyi, and after taking a closer look at his complexion, Deputy Commander Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Fu, you look much better! I'm relieved!"

Fu Zhiyi exchanged a few pleasantries with him and then got down to business.

The deputy commander gestured for Tang Liang to step forward. "This is Tang Liang, an old man by my side! This time, when you, Brother Fu, go to South Vietnam, he will lead the team! If you need anything, just tell him directly! I've already instructed that when Tang Liang and the three hundred men see you, Brother Fu, it's like seeing me!"

"I'll stay in Canggou, continue to track down the bandits to see if there are any more that have escaped, and guard Canggou while I reorganize the government troops! If there's anything important, just send a letter directly by carrier pigeon or send it 800 miles away urgently, just tell me!"

After the deputy commander of the guards introduced him, Tang Liang, despite his higher rank than Fu Zhiyi, still stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Tang Liang greets Master Fu. From now on, if there is anything I need, I will accept your orders without hesitation."
