Seeing this scene, Wei Wu suddenly felt something was wrong.

It's curfew time now. Unless it's a matter of life and death, ordinary people would not choose to go out at this time.

But if this person was the one Han Yao arranged to pick up Master Zheng, then the timing would not match.

It's only around nine o'clock now, and the boat leaves at eleven o'clock. Why is he going out now?

You can't wander around the streets during curfew. If you are caught by patrolling officers, how can you help Master Zheng?

Just when Wei Wu was confused, the guy who was peeking out had already opened the back door completely.

After coming out of the teahouse, the man looked around and confirmed again that there was no one around.

Then he decided on a direction and left quickly.

"This is heading towards the dock!"

Seeing the direction the man left, Wei Wu muttered to himself.

At this moment, two figures came to Wei Wu's location in the dark.

"Master, the vice-captain asked me to ask you if we should follow them."

"Uncle Changle, my superiors asked me to ask you if you want to follow this person."

Looking at the figure that was about to disappear, Wei Wu made arrangements without any hesitation.

"Notify Zhang Hai that our people should continue to wait here, so as to avoid being tricked into leaving the mountain."

Then Wei Wu turned and looked at another person.

"Tell Zhang Hao, the Jinyiwei people, to follow me. Let's follow and see if this person is heading to the dock."

After receiving the order, the two men said nothing, nodded and turned to leave, while Wei Wu turned to look at Shen Lin.

"Shen Lin, you lead the way, we'll follow him!"

Wei Wu is just an ordinary person who doesn't know the skills of tracking, but he has Shen Lin by his side.

As a former member of the Jinyiwei, this skill was not difficult for Shen Lin.

So, after receiving Wei Wu's order, Shen Lin immediately took action, and Wei Wu followed closely behind.

At first, Wei Wu was not sure whether this person was arranged by Han Yao as he thought.

However, as time passed, he became more and more certain of his guess.

Because after that guy came out of Zhixiao Teahouse, his purpose was very clear, which was to go to the river transport terminal.

After determining the man's destination, Zhang Hao led his men to meet him without Wei Wu's request.

Just like that, after about seven or eight minutes, they followed this man into the dock.

The man was seen walking quickly through the dock and finally boarding a huge Fu ship.

This Fu ship has three sails, one on the hull, one on the bow and one on the stern.

Starting from the bow, one-third of the ship is a flat deck, and only the stern has a two-story rudder tower, which is the rear cabin.

Seeing this scene, Wei Wu felt relieved that his plan was successful.

Unlike treasure ships, Fujian ships are the most common type of civilian merchant ships. They have long hulls, wide decks and large loading capacity.

The key is that it can navigate on rivers, lakes and seas, so it is very popular among merchants.

Han Yao had to take so much silver with him when he left Yangzhou, so this kind of ship was undoubtedly the most suitable.

Looking at the Fu ship not far away, Wei Wu smiled and said:

"Let's go! It's time to meet with the Red Sun Dharma King."

After saying that, Wei Wu took a step forward and was about to go over, but at this time Zhang Hao asked a question.

"Lord Changle, there are so many people lying in ambush on that ship. Why don't I gather the Jinyiwei first and then we can act together?"

"I received your message earlier and arranged most of my personnel at the dock. They can be easily summoned here."

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, Wei Wu also felt that it was better to be safe, after all, life safety comes first.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Wu nodded and said:

"Okay, gather the men first, and try to do it as quickly as possible."

"Don't worry, Uncle Changle, it won't take long!"

After saying that, Zhang Hao immediately went to arrange manpower, while Wei Wu turned to look at the Fu ship.

"I finally caught you!"

At the same time, on the Fu ship not far away.

Han Yao was sitting on the deck of the third-floor rudder tower, sipping tea by a single lamp.

The contact person who had just boarded the ship was now standing opposite him and reporting the situation to him.

"Master Han, I waited until the seventh quarter of the evening, but failed to see Master Zheng, so I have returned to report."

"Ok!"

Han Yao responded softly, picked up the teacup on the table and put it to his nose, sniffing it gently before asking:

"Did anyone from the city gate send you a message?"

"No, I have been staying at the Zhixiao Teahouse the entire time, and no one has come here."

Hearing this answer, Han Yao frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.

He slowly placed the cup of tea that he had originally intended to savor back on the table.

The reason was that he had specifically instructed the city gate that if they had not seen Master Zheng by the deadline, they must send someone to deliver a message.

But now, it's time to set sail, but no news has been received. There is only one possibility.

Something happened at the city gate.

Thinking of this, Han Yao turned his head and stared towards the dark dock.

"No more waiting. Pass on my order to raise the anchor and sail. Everyone, be alert."

Boom, boom, boom.

As soon as Han Yao finished speaking, before the people around him had time to go down and convey the order, they heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

Then a man in boatman's clothes was seen rushing up the stairs.

"His Majesty, this is bad. A lot of people suddenly appeared at the dock. They look like they are heading towards our ship."

Hearing this, Han Yao immediately stood up and walked to the fence.

Just as the boatman said, there were shadows of people in the cave at the dock, and at a glance there were no less than sixty people.

And now it was almost running to its own boat.

Seeing this scene, Han Yao sighed helplessly, turned around and sat back down at the tea table.

"All of you please leave! I would like to greet this guest alone."

After hearing Han Yao's order, the boatman and the contact person nodded and turned to leave.

Han Yao picked up the copper kettle on the table and placed it on the charcoal stove, then took out a teacup and put in tea leaves.

After a brief process, a cup of fragrant tea was placed opposite him.

Just then, there were several footsteps coming up the stairs on the deck.

Not long after, Wei Wu was seen taking Shen Lin and Zhang Hao to the third-floor deck of the quayside.

"Sit down and chat for a while?"

Looking at Wei Wu, Han Yao spread out his palms and made a gesture of invitation towards the seat opposite him.

Wei Wu also wanted to see what tricks he was up to, so he turned around and looked at Shen Lin and Zhang Hao.

"You guys go down first. I want to meet with the Dharma King Hongyang alone!"
