Chapter 51 Nightfall

When we walked late at night, the river was extremely calm. In addition to the big ship Zhao Xiaohuan and the others were riding, some small boats were floating on the river.

It is normal for a small boat to be found on the river. After all, not everyone has large ships hired by silver.

Moreover, although the boat is small, as long as it does not encounter strong winds and waves, you can still move forward steadily on the river surface.

"Young master, that kid is very honest and stayed in the house all the time in the afternoon."

"In the evening, he came out and looked at the river for a while, and then went back. It was ours who sent it in during the meal."

"And I see that although that kid holds a sword, his hands are very tender and there are no calluses at all. He is definitely not a martial arts practitioner. He should be pretending to be scary with his sword."

A guard reported to Zhou Hui about Zhao Xiaohuan's every move on the boat today. They were walking outside all year round, so they would naturally not let go of any potential dangers.

There is a saying in the world that the weak people who dare to walk around the world must not provoke them.

The so-called weak are the elderly, women, children, etc. in the eyes of ordinary people.

Even if a sick person is walking around the world, don’t provoke him easily.

There are only two possibilities for such people, either they are really forced to do so, or they just hide them.

"I look very immature. Although I learn to speak with older people, I don't learn much like me."

"It's time to have a quarrel with your family, have a quarrel, or something, and sneak out."

The guards said his own judgment that these guards were not only good enough to protect the goods, but also had good observation skills to avoid being approached by those with intentions.

"Don't be too careful. It's reported that our Zhou family is so alert to a naughty boy, and some of them are all soldiers."

Zhou Hui nodded and signaled to guard him. Although he still had to stare at him, there was no need to stare too clearly.

Be careful when he is away. Although he didn't think that Zhao Xiaohuan had any problems, his years of experience in business transactions made him unable to relax at all, and he had to follow the rules for everything.

The so-called rules are the bottom-line behavior of self-protection when going out.

Just like now, even if he feels that there is no problem in his heart, it still doesn't work. He must observe carefully. This is the rule.

Not to mention Zhao Xiaohuan, or an old woman who is sick and disabled, it is still the same.

"We should take the waterway. If we take the boat faster, we can go back in about two days."

"It's a good thing to have two or three days in the morning than expected."

"If there is really a thief who wants to take action, it will definitely be in the past or two days."

"However, we don't have a good time to see things at night. If there are really thieves who want to come, they can't see anything more than us."

"We have a big ship, and it's really awesome, but I've ordered people to defend strictly, especially at night, I will never encounter someone who touches the ship and doesn't find it."

Zhou Xiong spoke in a deep voice. What he said was not a joke, but a truth that happened on Tongtian River.

A few years ago, a cargo ship was marching on the Tongtian River, but the guards on duty at night actually fell asleep.

As a result, the bandits were touched by the ship and the guards were dealt with one cabin after another. It was only halfway through that, and the guards on the ship counterattacked.

But at that time, the situation was hopeless, and in the end, all the goods on the ship were robbed. Although the family involved tried to keep it as much as possible, it still spread.

This is normal, after all, it is a bit awkward at night.

If there are not enough people on duty, or if you are used to being lazy in normal times, you will easily make all kinds of mistakes.

"I'm afraid we won't see it."

Zhou Hui sighed. Although he was usually very confident in front of others, there were not so many hidden things in front of Zhou Xiong.

The waterway is fast, why didn’t you choose a waterway at the beginning? It is because the risk of waterways is greater, and you may encounter unexpected situations such as storms and rainstorms.

Moreover, sometimes small boats float slowly on the river surface, and no one knows who is on the boat.

If the boat approaches, the people on the boat will be alert, but what if the boat is also a martial arts master?

These people, with the help of small boats, can dive onto large boats at a long distance, and it is very easy.

At this time, the guards on the ship were easily eradicated.

But if you take a dry road, there will naturally be no problem. The other party can only come from a distance and cannot penetrate the land.

"Three steps, one post, five steps, one whistle."

"Even if someone dives, he can find it."

Zhou Xiong looked confident. He was an old man, and there was a way to arrange people on duty. It was not to let one or two people stand together. This method was too easy for people to sneak attack from behind.

He arranged for someone to look at the water by the boat. If someone really came out of the bottom of the water, he would see it at first sight.

Moreover, there are four people in groups, four people back to back. In this way, some people may have nothing to do, but they are absolutely safe. You can change directions after a while.

There are four people on duty at such a distance, which is absolutely safe even though some manpower wasted.

The caravan brought absolutely enough manpower this time. Even if this arrangement was made, it would only take less than one-third of the people at one time.

"I must be relieved of your arrangements, Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Hui nodded. In front of others, the master and servant naturally called each other politely, and there would be no cross at all. But if it were private, there would be no rules, and he even called Zhou Xiong Uncle Zhou.

After all, although Zhou Xiong is the leader of the guard, he is very skilled and has a considerable status in the martial arts world. He has been adopted by the current head of the Zhou family since he was a child. Although he is considered a servant, no one really treats him as a servant.

"Interesting, I'm really following you."

"The Zhou family transported some treasures, and was taken from the dry road to the water road."

Zhao Xiaohuan sat cross-legged in the house. This was his first time riding a big boat. The water on the river was floating, which was very different from the land. This was also a different experience.

There were boats floating on the river in the distance, and others might not be able to see anything, but he had excellent eyesight and the night was not much different from the daytime.

There are two small boats that follow from noon until now, and are not far or near. This is nothing. After all, they are walking on the river surface, and it is very likely to be one direction.

The key is that the boatman and the boatman on the boat seemed to have to observe the big boat for a while from time to time, and then whisper to himself. Unfortunately, although Zhao Xiaohuan has Taoism, he has not become a true immortal after all. The distance is a little far away and can see the subtleties of the other party, but he cannot hear the voices of the words.
