The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"Please rest assured, Peak Master. Ever since Qingfeng Village began expanding, the White Tiger Hall has been closely adhering to the Peak Master's instructions and carrying out a comprehensive purge and screening."

"I guarantee that there will be absolutely no leakage of information concerning our village's weapons and equipment!"

"it is good!"

Qingfeng Li nodded in satisfaction.

"In this way, if the plan is done properly, we will definitely be able to give the imperial army a big surprise!"

"Also, send a message to Xiaolong, and keep a close eye on every move of the imperial court in the Divine Capital. Don't let your guard down!"

"Yes! Peak Master!"

Qingfeng Li took a deep breath and exhaled, his eyes showing a look of death.

"Next, we just have to wait for Wang Ziteng and the others to come to Nanjing to suppress the bandits. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Type 38 rifles and the conscienceless soldiers from Qingfeng Village perform on the battlefield!"

……

After Wang Ziteng and his men received the imperial edict,

Immediately sail south day and night.

Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are almost all done on the boat, and the occasional stop is only to replenish supplies at ports along the way.

In less than five days, they arrived at Haizhou, the northernmost part of Yangzhou.

After entering Haizhou late at night,

Wang Ziteng woke up a group of noble sons and ordered the officers and soldiers on each ship to be on alert.

Accompanied by a group of noble sons, he stood on the bow deck with a solemn expression.

The officers and soldiers on several official ships guarding behind him were all armed with torches, swords and guns, ready to fight at any time.

When heading south into Shandong,

The ship carrying Wang Ziteng and others encountered a fleet that was escorting Lin Daiyu northward and transporting the salt tax from Yangzhou.

After a conversation with Jia Lian, Wang Ziteng had a better understanding of Qingfeng Village, especially the terrifying ability of Qingfeng Village to raid and board ships.

Therefore, just in case, he ordered all the troops to be on alert.

Wang Ziteng stared at the dark river surface under the night sky with a serious expression, and the other heroes also had serious and vigilant expressions.

However, beneath their vigilance, there was a hint of excitement.

When these noble sons thought about the upcoming battle with the bandits, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

He had already made a contribution before reaching Nanjing. How impressive!

Although they all live in a life of sensual pleasures, they have lost the fighting spirit of their original ancestors and have become accustomed to a comfortable life.

However, he also longed for military merit, to be immediately granted a title of nobility, and thus restore the glory of his ancestors.

Among the crowd, Jia Zhen, who was at the back, looked a little worried.

On the one hand, he was worried. What if the people in Qingfeng Village were really powerful and killed him?

After all, Qingfeng Village’s power can reach as far as the capital, which is not comparable to ordinary bandits.

On the other hand, Jia Zhen was also worried.

What if Qingfeng Village was defeated by the imperial army and captured?

What if he is betrayed?

But right now, his token of allegiance is still in the hands of Dao Ge, the man who humiliated him in Shenjing.

For the sake of his own life and the lives of the entire Jia family,

He could only grit his teeth and go all the way.

After entering the Haizhou section,

Wang Ziteng and the others all held their breath, staring solemnly at the river surface, not daring to breathe.

However, even after entering the Haizhou River Basin for several hours, there was still no trace of any pirates.

Niu Ben, the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, already looked somewhat displeased.

"Master Wang, we've been sailing for so long, and the bandits from Qingfeng Village haven't appeared yet. Why don't we all go back first?"

"It's not a big deal to always be in the wind at the bow of the ship!"

Wang Ziteng frowned slightly when he heard this.

At this time, someone else said,

"In my opinion, it's most likely the bandits from Qingfeng Village. Seeing how big our force is, they're probably so scared that they're afraid to come out!"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone laughed heartily.

Wang Ziteng raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said to Niu Ben,

"That may not be the case! Nephew Niu, you must know that the bandits in Qingfeng Village were able to gather tens of thousands of strong men in just a few days. They are definitely not ordinary bandits."
