Chapter 354 River Fishing

For his guess, although Shen Hao was anxious, it was better than the worst outcome he thought at first.

If the red-eyed wolves took the initiative to tear off their camouflage for the purpose of "taking advantage of the situation", it means that the barbarians are still some distance away from being fully ready. Jing Jiuchao is not too far behind.

In fact, if the war started, the Jingjiu Dynasty would undoubtedly be faster, and it would even be completely different from the barbarians. The barbarians rose from the ruins secretly, but the old Jing Dynasty has never let go in the past 40 years. Up to now, the Tanshi area is still under the strict control of the army, and there are always southern frontier troops standing by.

The "backward" mentioned by Shen Hao does not refer to the level of war potential, but the level of war consciousness.

The earlier you prepare, the more you can respond. Especially when there are still great hidden dangers in the Ministry of War, it makes Shen Hao feel that things are urgent.

Early in the morning, Shen Hao got up and left the Qianhu Office after finishing the daily affairs handed over by Wang Yiming in the office.

The clothes on his body were quickly changed in the alley from the back door, he put on the standard black gauze hat and went to the teleportation circle.

"Where are you going?"

"Yucheng."

"Pay over there and take the sign and wait. Then the number on the sign will be called."

There are still many people in the teleportation circle, and there are long queues at every entrance and exit. Shen Hao usually walks through special passages, rarely queuing among ordinary people like now.

The cost of teleporting the magic circle is not low, but it is still very cost-effective relative to the distance. Even ordinary people can afford it if they grit their teeth. Of course, if the distance is not too far, there are more horse-drawn carriages.

Every time Shen Hao entered the teleportation circle, he would carefully look at it curiously. Besides being surprised by the magic of the teleportation circle, he always lamented the power of the formation master. It is actually possible to produce such a super-large and long-distance teleportation thing. This is almost the core link for the Jingjiu Dynasty to rule such a vast area.

However, Shen Hao once asked many formation masters in the guard about the teleportation formation in the city, such as what is the operating principle, how is the energy consumption balanced, etc., but the strange thing is that he never got a definite answer. , are often very empty answers, or just say directly: the structure and principle of the teleportation circle are classified, and we are not yet at a level that we can grasp.

Shen Hao understands that the teleportation array is a secret, but the array mages in the Thousand Households Institute are all capable, so they can't even explain the basic principles, right?

Either those formation masters were perfunctory to Shen Hao, or they really didn't know anything about teleportation formations.

After waiting for about half an hour, it was Shen Hao's turn to get the number plate, and then he entered the transmission channel with more than a dozen people who were also going to Yucheng.

I found a car and horse shop, rented a horse, led it out of the city, and then rode along a sidewalk to the southwest. After half an hour, I saw the Baijiang River, and there was water vapor and river wind blowing in my face. .

Shen Hao rode his horse to leave the sidewalk, and continued to walk towards the river in the wilderness like this. After getting close, he jogged along the river, and after a while, he saw a small black boat leaning against the river. A small apricot-yellow flag was also planted on board.

After seeing the boat, Shen Hao turned over and got off his horse, then tied the reins to a tree by the river, kicked off his feet, jumped into the river, tapped the water surface and jumped onto the boat.

"Hehe, Mr. Shen came quickly."

As soon as he boarded the boat, a person came out from the boat tent. He has a Chinese character face and looks like he is in his forties. There is a scar on his face that looks like a burn, and his eyes are small but piercing.

"Wu Pianjiang, haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

"Hahaha, thank you Master Shen for remembering, everything is fine, but the more diligent Master Shen is, the better he is."

The person who came out of the boat tent was none other than Wu Kai, the general of the South Frontier Army stationed in Haixia.

While exchanging greetings with Shen Hao, Wu Kai walked to the side of the boat, picked up the Changhao pestle and threw it into the river forcefully, and immediately pushed the boat towards the center of the river. Take out two small stools and two sets of fishing tackle.

"Fishing?"

"Can."

Shen Hao actually doesn't like fishing very much, the main reason is that he can't calm down, he will either close his eyes and start meditating subconsciously, or fall asleep directly.

But this fishing is also to pass the time, and meeting Wu Kai is the main purpose.

Previously, Shen Hao's plan was to let Zhang Qian and Gan Lin be his own lobbyists, and after introducing them, he would then pull Wu Kai into his plan. But later, Jiang Cheng took the initiative to take over the matter, saying that he would probe Wu Kai's tone in advance. This saved Shen Hao a lot of trouble.

Now that Wu Kai and him have made an appointment to meet in Yucheng, they have made their intentions clear, and they can open the skylight and speak frankly.

However, Shen Hao still kept Jiang Cheng's evaluation of Wu Kai in his heart, and while secretly guarding against him, he was also thinking about how to hold him.

Put on the bait and cast the rod into the water. The two of them just sat in the stern of the boat.

In winter, the river is windy and cold, but luckily the two of them are not low-level, so they won't cry and runny nose.

"Master Jiang's inquiry some time ago made me a little scared. He is my old Shangfeng. To be honest, I was very afraid of him when he was still in the army. Hahaha, really, Lord Jiang is in the army. I was notoriously harsh when I was a child, and if something went wrong, I would be punished. I suffered it once and lay down on the bed for three days before I could get off the ground. Zhang Qian and Gan Lin were beaten the most times. I heard that you know each other well?"

"Yes, Brother Zhang Qian and Brother Gan Lin have always taken care of me, we have a good relationship."

"Hehe, Master Shen can talk. But Zhang Qian and Gan Lin should have helped you a lot. Last time they asked me about the whereabouts of three strangers, they should have asked me for you, right? I didn't go to You were thinking about it here, but I didn't realize it until Mr. Jiang came to ask about it.

By the way, your hands, Xuan Qingwei, are really extended. "

Shen Hao's smile remained unchanged, and his eyes continued to stare at the swaying floats on the river. But in my heart, I felt a strong posture from Wu Kai's words, a posture of wanting to control the right to speak.

"Xuan Qingwei is His Majesty's personal soldier. He is in charge of monitoring the world. Xuan Qingwei has the right to intervene from the evil cultivator to the murder of corruption. Isn't there Xuan Qingwei in the army as the supervisor?"

"The inspector in the army? That's just a fake, not involved in the affairs of the army. It's far behind those inspectors. Otherwise, Mr. Shen wouldn't have found me here, would he?"

Shen Hao smiled and nodded: "Wu Pianjiang is right. Recently, a case in his hand involved the inside of the army. It is difficult to start from the outside, so we can only consider investigating from the inside. Previously, the two big brothers Zhang Qian and Gan Lin asked Your help is also related to this case. I don’t know if General Wu is interested in helping.”

"I can help, but what good can I do?"
