Chapter 324: Granary (Part 1)

In recent years, the Gao family has gained a lot of convenience with this waterway, and the most practical thing is to save a large amount of tariffs.

The waterway affairs were soon reported to Liu Feng.

When Liu Feng heard that there was such a secret passage, he became interested. Looking at Gao Sheng, who looked nervous, he said, "Let's go and take me to see."

"yes!"

Gao Sheng responded quickly, and at the same time he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This first step was finally successful. The lord of the Black Armored Army did not seem to be very difficult to get along with.

The entrance to the waterway is in a well in a Gaojia store. The well is dug very deeply and needs to be used for hanging baskets or ropes up and down, which is quite inconvenient.

Fortunately, the wellhead is big enough, and the hanging basket can accommodate four people at once.

Four Jinyiwei took the lead in the hanging basket and went in to explore the way. After the hanging basket came up, Liu Feng sat in. Gao Sheng, who was on the side, was about to step in, but his daughter Gao Shuyan grabbed his sleeves, "Dad, the road is wet and slippery. You can stay on it, I'll go."

"Yeah, that's fine."

Since handing over the business to his eldest daughter, Gao Sheng hasn't walked through this waterway for a long time. In addition, due to his obesity, his hands and feet are not as flexible as when he was young, so it is indeed a bit inconvenient to go on.

In addition, he did not follow him and had another layer of thought. The communication between men and women is ultimately not as good as the communication between men and women. Now his eldest daughter is the helmsman of the Gao family, so it is more appropriate to leave her the matter of making friends with the Black Armor Army.

"Dad, I'll go and have a look, too."

Gao Shengnan said that, he was about to step into the hanging basket, but before he could enter, he was caught on the back collar, "What are you going to do? Stay here for me."

Gao Sheng tried hard and pulled his third daughter back. This daughter has been a child and has been causing trouble. In this situation, she cannot be allowed to do anything.

Gao Shuyan lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, revealing a small piece of her fair calves. She stepped into the hanging basket and squatted beside Liu Feng. Then the hanging basket slowly descended, and the light around her gradually dimmed.

The further down, the darker the light became, and finally it was shrouded in darkness, and you couldn't see your five fingers.

People in total darkness are very likely to lose their sense of space and time. Suddenly, Liu Feng felt that his arm was caught and smelled a faint fragrance.

In the darkness, Gao Shuyan's face was slightly pale at this time, with a hint of panic in her eyes, and her hands were involuntarily holding onto the things beside her. Every time she made a hanging basket, she sat alone. No one knew that she was actually very afraid of the darkness, and she had to light an oil lamp to sleep at night before she could sleep peacefully.

It is such a person who is afraid of the darkness. He took his caravan at home and I don’t know how many times he walked back and forth in this waterway.

Feeling the slightly trembling body beside him, Liu Feng didn't know what to say. Gao Shuyan's first impression was that he was a strong strong woman, and he didn't expect that he was still afraid of the dark.

I don’t know how long it took, but a faint light gradually appeared below, and there was also the sound of water flowing.

The slowly descending hanging basket was held by the Jinyiwei below and landed on the ground. With the light of the torch, Liu Feng also saw clearly the approximate appearance around him.

The underground river is about seven meters wide, with a small piece of washed sand on both sides to reach the ground, and there are rock formations around it. There is a torch inserted at every distance. The top is not high, about five meters, and there are also some small boats docked on the shore. Obviously, this is used by the Gao family to transport goods.

"Miss!"

The two men next to him saw Gao Shuyan and hurried over. The two men were the personnel arranged by the Gao family to garrison here.

After the hanging basket landed, Gao Shuyan had already sat back opposite Liu Feng, with a calm face. Only the slightly red ear tips meant that she did not show that she was so calm at this time.

After all the Jinyiwei above came down, the group began to take a boat downstream.

The water in the underground river is relatively fast and the speed of the boat is very fast, which tests the boatman's skills. In this environment, as long as there is a mistake, the boat will hit the rock wall next to it and fall apart.

"You seem to be nervous?"

On the boat, Liu Feng took the lead and asked Gao Shuyan.

"Ah, no, well, there's one thing. After all, you are the leader of the Black Armor Army. I'm so old, you're the highest-ranking person I've ever seen."

Gao Shuyan was stunned for a moment, with a hint of self-deprecation on her face. Among the people she met before, the county magistrate had the highest status. Every time she was in front of the county magistrate, she was cautious and did not even dare to breathe, for fear of offending the other party and causing trouble to her family.

Since ancient times, the status of merchants has been very low. The Gao family is not a famous family, but a merchant. They can only be regarded as a local rich man at Xiamen Pass. Even if they use money to open up the road to meet some noble people, which one of them treats them sincerely? However, for the sake of interests, they just act like a show.

The person in front of him is much more powerful than the county magistrate. The county magistrate is just the lord of a county, and now he lives and controls life and death. Without knowing the other party's temperament, Gao Shuyan naturally dares not be arrogant.

"Relax, I am actually a person who is easy to get along with. I have always been tolerant of my own people. As long as I sincerely do things for me, I will never treat you unfairly."

Liu Feng said that he knew very well that the Gao family did so many things to please him, and the purpose of the purpose of seeking his own power. The world is bustling with people, all for profit, and the world is bustling with people, all for profit. This is a very normal thing and there is nothing to worry about.

"Of course we are sincere, otherwise we would have left Xiamen Pass, and we hope the lord will take care of him in the future."

Although Gao Shuyan was a little confused about whether the Black Armored Army could block the Qi army outside the pass, he naturally had to swear loyalty at this time. Talking about people and talking about ghosts is a necessary skill for doing business.

"Okay, by the way, where is the exit of this underground river outside the pass?"

"The exit is a small lake outside Wutai County. At the end of this river is a pool. There is a passage under the pool. You can go outside by passing through the passage."

When Liu Feng heard the exit that was near Wutai County, his eyes lit up and he grabbed Gao Shuyan's hand, "Very good, this time your Gao family has made great contributions!"

Wutai County is just a small county town at the junction of Qi State and Jiangzhou, but according to spies' information, it happened to be the granary of the Qi army.

Gao Shuyan didn't know that Wutai County was the granary of the Qi army, but when Liu Feng was so happy, he naturally guessed that this place was not simple, so he struck while the iron was hot, "We have some guys in the county who can help the adults get into the county."

"I'm willing, but I don't need it."

Liu Feng waved his hand and wanted to get rid of Qi Jun's granary. With those guys, they would definitely not be able to help, and they would even alert the enemy if they did it properly.

Gao Shuyan's eyes showed a trace of regret, and randomly changed the topic. She has traveled around the world and has a wide range of knowledge over the years. She can easily find the topic and arouse Liu Feng's interest. The two chatted in a little while, and before they knew it, the boat had arrived at the destination.
