Chapter 263 Plan
"Lin Yu, I'm afraid you'll have to make a trip alone for this matter. Captain Qi is not available to show up." Murong Linger frowned slightly and said seriously.
She said this for Chifeng's sake. As an official escorting fugitives, Chifeng had a sensitive identity. Once he showed up at the government office, given the influence of the He family in Longmen City, he would most likely be noticed by them.
It would be best for Chifeng to come quietly and leave quietly on this escort mission, so as to avoid being retaliated by the He family.
After hearing this, Lin Yu nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, Miss Murong, I will take care of this matter."
Chiffon listened from the side and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was just a small official. Facing a giant like the He family, he dared not act rashly. If the He family really took out their anger on him, he would be powerless to resist.
"Okay, then it's settled. We'll set off at nightfall." Murong Ling'er looked around at everyone and said with a firm gaze.
After finally agreeing on the plan, Murong Ling'er began to pack up the things in the carriage.
She looked at the carriages and horses and had an idea in her mind. Since these things could not be taken to Donghai Island anyway, she might as well do them a favor.
So, she decided to give all three carriages and several horses to Chifeng and the other officials.
These officials also had a hard time during the escort process. With these carriages and horses, their future actions would be much more convenient.
A few days before arriving at Longmen City, disagreements quietly arose within the two teams.
Yuan Zhiqiang, a thin middle-aged man with shrewd and cunning eyes, felt his heart surging like a storm after learning Chu Lingfeng's true identity.
"Captain Qi, I've thought about this for a long time. Given our current situation, it's really not appropriate for us to be tied together anymore. I'm going to take my men and take another route."
Yuan Zhiqiang found Qifeng with a sincere look on his face, but the evasive look in his eyes revealed his true thoughts - he didn't want to be implicated by Chu Lingfeng's identity.
After hearing this, Chifeng was stunned at first, but then he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that the women brought by Yuan Zhiqiang would cause trouble during this long and difficult journey. At this critical stage in Longmen City, any disturbance might cause them to fail.
"Alright! Since Lord Yuan has made up his mind, I won't force you to stay. Take care on your journey." Chifeng agreed readily, and the two sides parted ways.
When Chifeng and his group finally arrived at the pier not far from Longmen City, night had already fallen quietly.
Lin Yu was like a messenger in the dark night. He appeared in front of everyone on time, carrying the customs clearance document with the bright red seal of the government office and Chen Shuo's badge that symbolized power.
"Everything is settled." Although Lin Yu's voice was soft, it revealed a reassuring power.
At this quiet hour of the night, everything was silent except for the occasional barking of dogs.
Lin Yu came alone to a slightly shabby courtyard at the entrance of the village, raised his hand and knocked gently on the wooden door.
"Knock, knock, knock." The knocking sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
Inside the house, Chen Guangyan has been on high alert these days and can't even sleep soundly.
Hearing a knock on the door, he sat up suddenly in bed, his heart pounding. "Who is it?" he asked vigilantly.
"The night is long, the stars lead the way, and we search for the pearl of the East China Sea." Lin Yu lowered his voice and said the code agreed upon in advance.
Chen Guangyan was delighted when he heard this and quickly responded: "The waves are surging, the sails are my wings, I will take you forward on the waves."
After confirming that the code was correct, he quickly stood up, took a few steps forward and opened the door.
Lin Yu's figure flashed and he quickly squeezed into the house. Then he carefully took out Chen Shuo's badge from his arms and handed it to Chen Guangyan.
When Chen Guangyan saw the familiar badge, a trace of awe flashed in his eyes. Without asking any more questions, he just said "Wait here" and hurriedly opened the door and went out.
Lin Yu waited patiently in the house. Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed to be stretched infinitely.
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally heard a slight sound of footsteps outside the house.
I saw Chen Guangyan returning stealthily with several burly men.
"Our situation is limited. We can only muster six ships at most. After sending you to the other side, our mission will be completed. Please understand." Chen Guangyan said with an embarrassed look on his face.
They were just following orders, but faced with such a sensitive and dangerous mission, they couldn't help but fear being implicated, so they just wanted to complete their tasks as quickly as possible, and were unwilling to worry about subsequent matters.
After hearing this, Lin Yu nodded solemnly.
Time is running out at this moment, and every minute and every second concerns the safety of everyone. He really doesn't have any extra time to bargain or talk nonsense.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the first light of dawn, and everyone will embark on the journey across the sea full of unknowns.
……
When Chen Guangyan's eyes fell on the packages piled up like a mountain beside Murong Ling'er, his eyes widened instantly, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
The pile of these packages is much taller than Murong Ling'er. Just this pile would probably take up most of the space in a fishing boat.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing that the officers beside him were silent, he thought for a moment and decided that less is more and swallowed the words back.
Afterwards, Chen Guangyan led everyone under the cover of night, along a hidden path, towards the place where the boat was docked at the seaside.
Along the way, everyone walked hurriedly, but did not dare to make too much noise, for fear of disturbing everything around them.
When they arrived at the beach, under Chiffon's orderly command, everyone boarded the fishing boat that had been prepared long ago, quietly and silently like ghosts.
After Murong Ling'er boarded one of the boats, she began to get busy.
She first carefully moved the packages of various sizes into the cabin, then spread out all the contents and covered them tightly with a thick quilt.
Then, she gently helped Huo Jianjie up and let him lie on the quilt, and arranged for Murong Chen and Huo Zihao to curl up in a relatively safe position at the stern.
After everything was settled, Murong Ling'er and Chen Guangyan stood at the bow of the boat together.
At this time, the night was as dark as ink, and only the cold moonlight was gently sprinkled on the sparkling sea like a layer of gauze, emitting a little silver light.
By my ears, the only sound is the oars rhythmically paddling the water, making a gurgling sound, as if the sea is singing softly.
No one dared to speak easily. The boundless sea seemed particularly mysterious and terrifying in the darkness, like a dormant giant man-eating monster, which made people extremely nervous. Everyone was on edge and dared not even breathe.
The ship moved slowly on the sea. After about half an hour, strange ripples suddenly appeared on the calm sea surface.
Murong Ling'er's heart trembled, and she instantly released a powerful spiritual sense, probing below the sea surface.
Sure enough, a group of huge sea beasts were swimming rapidly from the deep sea, with bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes. They were obviously disturbed by these uninvited guests and were preparing to launch an attack.
A powerful pressure instantly emanated from Murong Ling'er's body, and this pressure was like an invisible wave, sweeping towards the sea beasts.
The sea beasts felt this terrifying power and were immediately panicked and fled in all directions in the sea.
However, there were still a few huge and ferocious sea beasts that relied on their own strength and continued to rush towards the fishing boat without fear of death.
