Outside the city of Huai'an Prefecture, a fast horse galloped towards the military camp.

Almost at the same time, Liao Wenru also received a report from the sergeant that someone was coming towards the military camp.

During this period, Liao Wenru was extremely busy and anxious. There were a lot of things that needed to be moved, especially the two Hongyi cannons, the Franchise and other artillery pieces. These things were too heavy. It was not so easy to move to Qingzhou smoothly.

It's a simple matter, but as more than ten days have passed, the carriage is not ready yet.

There wasn't much movement at the Water Transport Governor's Mansion, which made Liao Wenru feel relieved.

The sergeant's report made Liao Wenru feel strange. Except for the urgent military situation, no one was galloping outside the military camp.

Liao Wenru's expression was a little serious. Could it be that Yang Yipeng, the Governor of Water Transport, sent someone here.

When Liu Ning, who had a dirty look on his face, entered the military camp, Liao Wenru was already waiting at the entrance of the military camp.

"Liu Ning, why are you here in Huai'an? Do you have any orders from elder brother?"

"Let's go in and talk."

Liu Ning looked at the sergeants standing at the entrance of the military camp and the busy sergeants scattered around the playground. There was no smile on his face.

Liao Wenru nodded, turned around and walked towards the barracks. As he walked, he ordered the soldiers around him not to disturb anyone.

Liao Wenru and Liu Ning entered the Chinese military tent, and several soldiers guarded the outside, not allowing anyone to approach.

"Liu Ning, brother, what are your orders?"

"Brother asked me to make a special trip to Huai'an and order you to immediately lead all the sergeants to Qingzhou."

"No, I'm not ready yet. There aren't enough carriages to pull away all the artillery. But it's quick. It will take about ten days at most to raise enough carriages to transport everything in the general camp.

take away."

"Brother Liao, my lord has said that we cannot waste any time. I am here to urge you to lead all the sergeants and set off immediately for Qingzhou."

Hearing what Liu Ning said, Liao Wenru didn't look very good.

"Liu Ning, my elder brother has made arrangements a long time ago. As long as I lead the sergeants and arrive in Qingzhou within a month, it will be fine. Besides, there are so many artillery. There are only two Hongyi cannons, and each requires two carriages.

The speed of transporting cannot be very fast. My elder brother asked me to worry about the Water Transport Governor's Mansion. I have also noticed that so far, the Water Transport Governor's Mansion has not made the slightest move."

Liu Ning noticed Liao Wenru's expression.

"Brother Liao, you have misunderstood. Your Excellency has received accurate information. The Governor's Office of Water Transport is ready to take action. The reason for taking action is that the Xinyi Gang guards have artillery. This is against the rules of the court. Your Excellency has specially ordered to transport a Hongyi cannon.

With all the Franchise machines and the rest of the artillery, we can carry as many as we can, and it doesn’t matter if we give them all up..."

Before Liu Ning finished speaking, Liao Wenru's expression changed again.

"Liu Ning, I have been paying attention to the Water Transport Governor's Mansion. I sent scouts to investigate, but no movement was found. If there is any movement in the Water Transport Governor's Mansion, I will definitely know about it."

"Have Brother Liao sent scouts to investigate the barracks where soldiers are transported?"

"Not at all. Liu Ning, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the Governor's Office of Water Transport is planning to mobilize water transport soldiers to deal with us? This is unlikely."

Liu Ning's expression became solemn, and he turned his head unconsciously and looked at the door of the Zhongjun Tent.

The soldiers still stood upright at the door of the central military tent.

"Your Excellency has said that the Water Transport Governor's Office is very likely to mobilize water transport soldiers to attack us. There are two reasons. First, we have artillery, which is prohibited by the imperial court. Based on this, the Water Transport Governor's Office can identify us.

Rebellion, an open attack. Secondly, the water transport soldiers launched an attack on us. If a fight really breaks out and the trouble reaches the emperor and the court, the person who bears the responsibility is your Excellency. The Water Transport Governor's Office can impeach you for rebelling..."

Liao Wenru's face turned pale. He really hadn't thought of these problems.

"No way, the Water Transport Governor's Mansion is aware of the situation in the military camp. The eldest brother has left Huai'an Mansion and gone to Qingzhou, and all the guards from the Xinyi Gang have also followed him to Qingzhou. Besides, if the Water Transport Governor's Mansion had any ideas and actions, he would have already

It’s time to take action.”

Liao Wenru stood up as he spoke.

"Liu Ning, if you say that, wouldn't the Xinyi Gang be in danger too?"

Seeing Liao Wenru stand up, Liu Ning also stood up, walked to Liao Wenru, and spoke in a low voice.

"Your Majesty has specifically ordered us to tighten up inside and loosen up outside, and set out at night. Try not to disturb anyone. The Governor's Office of Water Transport has noticed us and will definitely make corresponding preparations. If something happens, we should deal with it calmly and don't lose the big for the small."

Liao Wenru looked at Liu Ning, pondered slightly, and waved towards the door of the Chinese army tent.

A soldier walked in.

"Go and ask Luo Dian to come to the Chinese army tent."

Luo Dianzhao, who came in a hurry, was quite surprised when he saw Liu Ning.

Liao Wenru waved his hand.

"Luo Dianzhao, you personally take the scouts to the Caoyun General Military Mansion, the Caoyun Fifth Military Camp, and the Shenji Camp to conduct investigations, and report directly to me the investigation situation within two hours."

It's getting dark soon.

The military camp has become extremely busy, and everything has begun to be loaded onto the carriage.

At this time, the Hongyi cannon, Fran machine and other artillery appeared extremely abrupt.

One Hongyi cannon requires two carriages to transport it. The Franchise is not heavy, but its size is not small. One carriage can transport up to two cannons. As for the other cannons, they have not been shipped yet. They will have to wait until all items are shipped.

, will consider these artillery pieces.

Luo Dian summoned him to the Chinese army's tent.

"Report to Liao Qianhu, Deputy Liu Qianhu, and his subordinates led the scouts to the Water Transport General Military Mansion, the Fifth Military Camp and the Shenji Camp Military Camp to investigate. The Water Transport General Military Mansion was very lively, with people constantly coming in and out. The outside of the General Water Transport Military Mansion was heavily guarded.

, Ordinary people are not allowed to approach, the Fifth Military Camp and the Shenji Camp are also very lively. The sergeants seem to be dispatching, and the subordinates have left a few scouts to continue the investigation. Detailed information should be obtained in a short time..."

Liao Wenru looked at Liu Ning and his expression turned ugly.

There was indeed no movement in the Water Transport Governor's Mansion, but there were already too many movements in the Water Transport General Military Mansion, the Fifth Military Camp and the Shenji Camp. I didn't even think about it, nor did I care. If Wu Zongrui hadn't learned the news in advance and sent Liu Ning to come here on a special trip.

Warning, I'm afraid something big is going to happen.

"Understood, let the scouts withdraw from the investigation. Luo Dianzhao, we will leave the military camp tonight and go to Qingzhou. The group will set off at the same time. If the prediction is good, the Water Transport Governor's Mansion has sent sergeants to investigate along the way. You lead a hundred scouts and set off immediately.

Investigate the situation along the way, and if any abnormalities are found, clear them immediately, and we must not let anyone hinder our evacuation."

Luo Diianzhao's face turned pale and he couldn't help asking.

"Liao Qianhu, Deputy Liu Qianhu, are the movements in the Fifth Military Camp and the Shenji Camp all aimed at us?"

Liao Wenru looked at Luo Dianzhao and nodded.

"I understand. I will lead the scouts and set off immediately. I will definitely complete the mission."

Luo Dianzhao left the Chinese military tent, but Liao Wenru and Hu still looked serious.

"Liu Ning, I'm worried that the army will set off to alert the Governor's Mansion of Water Transport. If the sergeants from the Fifth Army Battalion and Shenji Battalion are sent out, it will be troublesome. I'm not worried that I won't be able to defeat them, but I am worried that if we fight, I will cause irreparable damage to my elder brother.

Influence."

"Brother Liao, don't worry too much. We will set off tonight. The Governor's Mansion of Water Transport should not have expected it. Even if they are prepared and still have the combat effectiveness of the water transport soldiers, we will be sure to evacuate safely."

Liao Wenru nodded.

"When things have reached this point, there is no point in overthinking. It was my mistake this time. After arriving in Qingzhou, I went to apologize to my elder brother. Fortunately, these days, some of the sergeant's family members have left Huai'an and gone to Qingzhou. There are also

Some of the family members will return to their place of origin, which will make our burden much lighter. However, the evacuation cannot be fast, and the main task is to transport artillery."

"Liu Ning, I am going to arrange this. You will lead the large group of troops to evacuate and take full command. I will lead two hundred sergeants behind and eliminate all interference from behind..."

Liu Ning waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, Brother Liao, you are the commander-in-chief and must command the evacuation of the brigade. I will take care of the rear affairs, and all preparations for the evacuation are arranged by you. You are familiar with the situation and can deal with emergencies. This matter,

Just don’t argue with me.”

Liao Wenru thought for a moment, but did not persist and patted Liu Ning's shoulder hard.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this. I'll ask Qin Dalong to follow you to assist. As for the Xinyi Gang, I have already sent someone to inform Qin Zhirui and ask him to be more careful."

At three o'clock in the morning, it was not far from the time for the large group of people to set off.

The military camp has become quiet.

Liao Wenru, who was holding a torch, looked at the Hongyi cannon and the many artillery pieces neatly placed in the middle of the playground, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

A scout ran over.

"Report, Changting has discovered the ambushed sergeants, and they have all been cleared..."

Liao Wenru's face turned livid and he waved his hand.

"I know, go tell Luo Baihu, continue the investigation, and report anything at any time."

...

At midnight, the large group of troops quietly left the military camp and set off.

...

Its daybreak.

Yang Yipeng, the governor of water transportation, looked gloomy and looked at the neatly arranged artillery pieces on the playground without saying a word.

Qianhu from the Fifth Army Camp next to him clasped his fists and spoke.

"Sir, my subordinates will lead the sergeants of the fifth military camp to pursue us. We will definitely be able to catch up..."

Yang Yipeng turned his head and looked at the Qianhu of the Fifth Army Camp next to him.

He knew the combat effectiveness of the water transport soldiers. It was impossible to rely on the sergeants of the Fifth Army Camp and the Shenji Battalion to defeat the sergeants led by Liao Wenru. If the camp guarded by the Xinyi Gang was suddenly surrounded in Huai'an, it was expected that Liao Wenru and others

They dare not take action. Under such circumstances, the Water Transport General Military Mansion can easily absorb these sergeants.

Liao Wenru was very smart. He left a large number of artillery behind and evacuated late at night. This way the Governor's Office of Water Transport had almost no reason to take action.
