The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Who would have thought that Li Jihuan would burst into a rage, "Fool! I've already told you the rebels are on board! They stole the money belonging to Your Majesty and the nobles. What has this to do with us?"

Wang Ye was stunned when he heard this.

The general's implication was to rob the silver from the silver ship and then kill everyone on the ship to silence them.

Finally, the blame was put on the rebel army. It was perfect!

Although Li Jihuan is very smart, this goes against the creed of the Beiliang Wolf Riders...

Loyal to Da Qi! Loyal to Your Majesty!

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Jihuan coughed for a while, blood seeping from the bullet hole, but he was also ruthless. He blocked the bullet hole with one finger, endured the severe pain, looked at Wang Ye and said coldly: "Think about it! The Great Qi is now under the threat of barbarians from outside, and the northern bandits are rebellious within. He who understands the current situation is a hero. What to do next is your choice!"

Wang Ye: “…”

He finally understood why Li Jihuan robbed the silver ship.

Because, as a general at the border...

They know the current situation of Da Qi best.

Many generals have begun to become warlords, and have been secretly disobeying the imperial court and the empress.

Li Jihuan also wants to be one of them!

He regarded the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry as his own private army and the capital for his struggle for hegemony in the upcoming chaos.

But the more elite the troops, the more money they need to feed them...

Obviously! He has great ambitions.

……

In the stillness of the night...

Almost everyone in the royal capital fell asleep.

However, the harsh sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the night.

The people in the royal capital all heard the dense sound of horse hooves galloping towards the city gate, and those who were woken up were all puzzled.

The only ones in the royal capital who could dispatch so many war horses at once were the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry.

In the dead of night, the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry set out. Could it be that the barbarians or the rebel army were attacking?

This fully armed cavalry unit rushed out of the royal capital and arrived at the canal dock.

Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the cargo ship had already left.

"Shut up!"

Amidst the neighing of horses and men, the cavalrymen pulled the reins and looked at the sky which was beginning to brighten. Many dock workers who were trying to make a living were coming and going.

One of the soldiers looked at Wang Ye, the leader, and said, "General Wang! The merchant ship harboring the bandits has already sailed away. Should we continue our pursuit?"

Wang Ye frowned and looked at the canal. He gritted his teeth and said, "They're going downstream. How can we, the horses, catch up with them?"

"This……"

"Bring me the map!"

"Yes!"

Soon, a map was placed in front of him. After Wang Ye looked at it carefully...

He pointed to a certain spot and ordered, "This is the Wild Boar Forest! If we take the overland route, we'll definitely encounter the pirate ship here. All troops, listen! Follow me and capture the rebels!"

"Yes!"

The cavalrymen responded and immediately whipped their horses, shouting "Gee!"

In a cloud of dust, they chased after each other.

Coincidentally, the eldest senior brother Yan Anxun also rushed to deliver a letter to the "rebel army" yesterday.

The content of the letter was also very simple. The silver ship had already set off late last night. Based on the inference, the other party had specifically arrived at ten rooms in the Wild Boar Forest.

As for the crew on board, they are very elite.

Moreover, a strange weapon called "No God Can Escape" appeared in the hands of the captain.

After the rebels in charge of the ambush received the information from the royal capital, they became a little panicked.

I thought it would be very easy to rob a cargo ship full of silver.

But now...

After learning that all the crew members on the ship were martial artists and that the captain had a very powerful and terrifying weapon in his hand, they began to have a dilemma.

After thinking about it, I decided that I couldn't just fight head-on, I could only outsmart them.

The leader had a perfect plan.

The plan is as follows:

When the merchant ships in the intelligence appeared, they pretended to be canal transport personnel and blocked the ships in the canal under the pretext of "dredging the river."

The boat was blocked, and the people on board must have needed food and water, so they sent brothers to pretend to be nearby shopkeepers, delivering some wine and food with some knockout drugs...

I have to say, this plan is great!

It's simply a replica of the "Birthday Gift" in "Liangshan".

Everyone thought the leader's idea was good, and immediately one by one they pretended to be shop owners or canal transport personnel.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the "fat sheep to come".

In this way, they waited and waited, over and over again, but according to the estimated time, the "silver ship" did not arrive.

I'm wondering...

What happened to the silver ship?

According to the intelligence, it should arrive today!

Why is the silver ship late?

That's it...

Instead of waiting for Li Jize's silver ship, they waited for an army, all in black armor! The Beiliang Wolf Riders wearing white cherry helmets!

Wang Ye and his gang rushed over and finally caught up on the last day.

An outpost responsible for exploring the way appeared on horseback and met up with them, and saluted directly.

Wang Ye reined in the reins, glanced in the direction of the canal, and asked, "What's the situation?"

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! I've already made inquiries, and the merchant ship harboring the rebels hasn't arrived yet!"

Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his subordinate's words. He finally caught up after rushing all the way.

but……

As he was talking to his subordinates, Wang Ye keenly felt that something was wrong with the dock workers around him.

When they saw their own troops appear, they were very surprised and panicked, especially when they heard the words "hiding the rebels' ships", some of them even trembled in their legs.

What's going on?

Wang Ye didn't think much about it and directly asked the soldiers to dismount and collect boats.

He wanted to block the canal and wait for the silver ship to arrive before they could take action.

The terrible thing is...

Among these forcibly conscripted personnel, many were volunteers responsible for the "grain transport".

Lean north on me!

They prepared men and ships, intending to rob the silver ship, but who would have thought that they would be forcibly commandeered by another group of more powerful robbers!

What's going on?

Especially since they were rebels, and these were government troops! Seeing them was like seeing a mouse seeing a cat.

Some of the volunteers couldn't help but pull out their swords and fight to the death.

Fortunately, their leader is a veteran who has fought under the Northern King for many years...

"Old Thirteen" among Li Zhenbei's countless adopted sons... Li Cuo!

Li Cuo restrained his impulsive subordinate and winked at the others, signaling them not to panic.

Let's wait and see what happens for now!

All was calm.

Until... the ship loaded with "silver" appeared in front of both sides.

The eyes of both sides lit up. Wang Ye was about to shout, "Stop the ship for inspection!"

But before he could finish his words...

Everyone was dumbfounded!

The people on the boat went crazy! They actually threw boxes into the canal!
