Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, communication with overseas has become more and more frequent.

In order to consolidate coastal defense, Li Shimin has been working to strengthen the construction of the navy, and has formed a strong combat power to this day.

Of course, with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, few enemies could threaten from the sea.

However, even so, the Tang Dynasty never stopped building the navy. Perhaps in terms of importance, the navy is not as important as the army. However, the Tang Dynasty still built warships with a displacement of 100 tons, which dominated the seaside.

The full name of the sea ship that rushed out of the reed marsh is the iron-walled piercing flat sea falcon warship, which is often called the sea falcon ship in later generations.

This kind of ship has a low bow and a high tail, a large front and a small back, and looks like a seabird, so it is named a sea falcon.

It is ten feet long, one eight feet wide, about eight feet and five inches deep, can accommodate one hundred soldiers, and is equipped with various attack weapons.

Shen Hui could not help but be shocked when she saw the appearance of the sea falcon.

Did Di Guangyuan actually transfer the sea falcon ship over?

He knew that in Haiyan County not far from Changzhou, there was indeed a naval army stationed, which was equipped with such a sea falcon warship. But when was the warship transferred? Could it be that Di Guangyuan transferred all the sea salt army to come over?

"Go away!"

Shenhui shouted loudly, but the fisherman seemed to be frightened and did not dare to move.

At the same time, more than twenty boats rushed out of the reed marsh and rushed towards the fishing boat...

"Sanlang, hurry up and row."

Jueming was also panicked and shouted loudly.

But he ignored the fear of the government in this era.

Sanlang helped them at first, but he didn't expect that the government would be involved. But now... looking at this situation, he knew that things were not small. At this time, he was already scared. Not to mention rowing, even the oars were a little unsteady.

Seeing this, Jueming stepped forward and pushed Saburo away and snatched the sculls.

The fishing boats were moving rapidly along the lake surface, but the boats behind them were chasing them relentlessly, and they were getting closer and closer to the fishing boats.

"Elder, what's going on?"

Sanlang was sank on the boat and was already shocked by this amazing scene.

Jueming said sternly: "Shut up, don't quarrel here."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Shenhui. Seeing that Shenhui had no longer had the calmness he had before, he showed a look of panic.

His heart suddenly sank!

"Elder, what should we do?"

Shenhui sat on the boat with a blue face.

From the beginning, Yang Shouwen and Di Guangyuan did not intend to really block Taihu Lake. Think about it, Taihu Lake is so large that it needs to be blocked completely. God knows how many people should be used? The easiest way is to let the air out and lure him out of Baoshan. But how do they know that they are hiding in Baoshan? So how do they know that they are going to Penglai?

Shenhui's thoughts were completely confused. He didn't even hear Jueming's shouts clearly.

At this time, the falcon boat also sailed with all its might and approached the fishing boat.

As the distance between the two sides approached, a series of calls came from the falcon boat. Then a ball of flame flew from the boat, and the bloated one fell directly in front of the fishing boat. The lake suddenly became rippling, and the waves were surging, almost overturning the fishing boat. Fortunately, I felt that the boat was not bad and tried to stabilize the boat. However, in this way, the two boats rushed by the sides of the fishing boat, blocking the fishing boat's way. The remaining few boats also approached quickly, surrounding the fishing boat.

"If you don't surrender, you won't be killed."

The navy on the boat set up a crossbow and aimed it at the fishing boat.

Jueming dared to resist again, so he couldn't let go of the slurry. He raised his hands high above his head and knelt on the deck.

"Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows, I surrender."

But Shenhui calmed down at this moment. Looking at the fishing boats around him, he reached out to take something out from his waist and threw it into his mouth.

Slowly stood up from the boat, Shen Hui looked at Di Guangyuan on the Haifalcon boat and smiled: "Dixian Zun, it really makes the old monk a little flattered when he put on such a big scene."

Di Guangyuan smiled!

Today's action was planned by him and Yang Shouwen.

As for these warships, it was a coincidence that the Haiyan naval army was just passing by, so they borrowed it. Di Guangyuan was Di Renjie's son after all! Although Di Renjie rarely inquire about the government due to his health this year, he was still the person he trusted the most by Wu Zetian. This face must be given! So when Di Guangyuan said that, the navy agreed.

As for Yang Shouwen, he didn't come here today.

Di Guangyuan is now just coming and needs to show his strength.

At this time, Yang Shouwen did not intend to steal Di Guangyuan's limelight, so he might as well stay in this county government.

However, when Yang Shouwen inferred that if Shen Hui escaped from Baoshan, he would probably go to Wucheng and let Di Guangyuan wait here. Di Guangyuan was not sure how Yang Shouwen knew the other party's path, but seeing that Yang Shouwen said it was certain and he knew how to advance and retreat very well in doing things, he felt good about him, and he believed in Yang Shouwen's arrangement.

"Shenhui, you are raising a monk in Puhui Temple and attempting to assassinate the imperial officials. This is also related to the death of the former abbot of Puhui Temple. I am ordered by the Seijing Temple to capture you. If you are smart, don't resist."

Shen Hui smiled and said, "What did the county lord say? I am just a person outside the country, how dare I fight against the power of the court?"

As he said that, he acted as if he was restrained.

Di Guangyuan curled his lips slightly. He was about to order his subordinates to board the ship to capture Shenhui, but he saw Shenhui suddenly fell on the ship.

He was startled and quickly signaled his subordinates to board the ship.

The quick hand jumped from the boat to the fishing boat, came to Shenhui, turned his body over, and saw the old monk bleeding in his seven orifices, and he was already dead.

"County Master, Shenhui has taken poison."

"What?"

Di Guangyuan suddenly panicked and hurriedly signaled his subordinates to send Shenhui to the ship.

There was a medical worker on the boat who had been waiting for a long time. After seeing Shenhui on board, he hurriedly walked forward, investigated for a while, and shook his head at Di Guangyuan.

The meaning was clearly to tell Di Guangyuan: There is no help!

Dead?

Di Guangyuan didn't expect that Shen Hui would be so decisive and committed suicide by taking poison.

I originally wanted to take this opportunity to capture the person behind Shenhui. But now he is dead. Wouldn't he say that all his previous efforts will be wasted?

Di Guangyuan's face also became a little ugly.

The eyes swept over Jueming and Saburo on the fishing boat in a drowning manner, and the two of them were also confused at this moment.

"Catch these two people and go back with the county."

"County Master, the little monk is wronged, the little monk is wronged!"

"The county respects the master, and the people are wronged."

Jueming kept shouting, and Sanlang also woke up and hurriedly shouted for justice.

But at this time, it was too late to say anything. I saw a boat approaching, and the officers on the boat shouted loudly. The two hurriedly climbed the boat honestly, and then tied up by the ropes that rushed up.

Back to the shore of Taihu Lake, the sky was already dawning and it was almost time for Mao.

Yang Shouwen took Lu Chengzhi and Yang Moli to wait on the shore. When the sea falcon boat docked, he hurriedly came forward.

"County Master, can you catch that divine wisdom?"

Di Guangyuan's face turned pale. He nodded and said, "Catched... However, this demon monk committed suicide by taking poison. Although this county wanted to stop him, it was too late. Qingzhi, this time it was the negligence of the county, and he didn't expect this demon monk to be decisive."

"Dead?"

After hearing this, Yang Shouwen was stunned and then smiled bitterly.

"The county magistrate doesn't have to feel so guilty, this is my negligence.

I forgot that these people were not dead, and I failed to remind the county magistrate in advance... However, I finally caught the person, and it was not in vain to leave."

"But……"

Di Guangyuan originally wanted to take this opportunity to find the real murderer who poisoned Wang Yuankai from Shenhui.

Now that Shenhui is dead, the clue is interrupted!

He felt regretful in his heart, and Yang Shouwen's eyes moved from Shenhui's corpse to the fisherman and Jueming who were escorted.

"County Master, who are these two people?"

"Oh, it's the one who gave Shenhui... By the way, the county hasn't asked you yet, how do you know they will go to Wucheng?"

Yang Shouwen smiled and said, "It's just speculation, but I didn't expect it to guess."

“Speculation?”

Di Guangyuan is dull and indecisive in doing things.

But this does not mean that he is stupid! There is obvious concealment in Yang Shouwen's words, and he can still hear it. However, after contacting Yang Shouwen over the past few days, Di Guangyuan has gained some understanding of Yang Shouwen's temperament. He knew that if Yang Shouwen didn't say it, there must be his reason. Because he could feel that Yang Shouwen is not the kind of person with a particularly strong desire for fame.

I guess Qingzhi has his own meticulousness!

This is Di Guangyuan, who is a little soft-hearted.

If it were another person, he might have a grudge in his heart because of this matter. However, it was because of knowing Di Guangyuan that Yang Shouwen did this. Similarly, if it was another person, he might not be willing to cooperate with him.

"Alang, he is not dead yet!"

Just as Yang Shouwen and Di Guangyuan were talking, Lu Chengzhi stopped Shenhui's corpse and signaled to put Shenhui's corpse down.

He waved to the doctor to come over. The two of them squatted beside Shenhui. After careful examination, they suddenly shouted out by Lu Chengzhi.
