C1329

These words were said to the heart of the Old Town Chief. Old Town Chief was himself a victim of this war of Feng Mo. Not only was his own daughter almost robbed by the jade army, even his young master had fallen in the war.

He heaved a long sigh of sympathy and said, "Yes! If we had ended this war earlier, then we wouldn't have to live our lives in fear. "

Tang Yin said: "It is up to Shao Fang to decide when the war will end and when he will fall." After pausing for a moment, he continued, "If our forces could seize Zhenjiang one day earlier, the war would end one day earlier, and vice versa. "Sir, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Benefactor's words are extremely true! " Old Town Chief nodded his head.

Tang Yin said in a regretful tone: "But, the opposing Zhenjiang Navy is very strong, and its defenses are very tight as well. If my army were to force their way through, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to win, but if the war were to drag on for a long time, our army of a million people will be stationed at the North Bank, and we will need to eat and drink every day.

The meaning in his words was that if the people of North Bank wanted to free themselves, they had to help them to defeat them as soon as possible so that they could take over their Zhenjiang City.

Old Town Chief was not a normal commoner, how could he not understand the meaning behind Tang Yin's words? He bowed his head in silence.

Seeing that, Tang Yin laughed indifferently: "Old mister is the local mayor, you should be very familiar with the environment around the Zhenjiang, you should be clear about the situation over at the south coast."

Old Town Chief's body trembled as he carefully replied, "Benefactor, you may not know this, but Zhenjiang has sealed the river for a long time already. So I don't know much about the situation on the south coast. "

"Is that so?" Tang Yin smiled indifferently and did not press any further. He picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and placed it in his mouth, after chewing it twice, he could not help but praise: "Not bad, what kind of fish is this?

Old Town Chief looked down and quickly replied, "These are red bass fish specially made from Zhenjiang."

"Oh!" Tang Yin nodded his head, then asked while smiling: "Old sir, did you say that the Zhenjiang has sealed the river for a long time?"

"Yes ?" "Yes." Not understanding why Tang Yin would ask such a question, the Old Town Chief woodenly nodded his head.

"Since it's sealed the river for so long, then where did this special red perch made from Zhenjiang come from?" Tang Yin picked up a piece of fish and looked at it again, then said: "In two days, the fish will start to stink, this fish is obviously new, Old Mister, what do you think?"

He did not expect that the other party's thoughts would be so meticulous, and this flaw that was not easily discovered by others, that even the Old Town Chief himself would not be aware of, would actually be seen through by him. Old Town Chief's face suddenly changed, he was stuttering, not knowing how to reply.

At this moment, a young woman at the side said, "Benefactor, these fish were bought by the servants from the fishermen. For the sake of living, even after the river was sealed, some fishermen still venture out of their boats to fish in the river."

This explanation sounded reasonable, if Old Town Chief had been able to answer this question as freely as his daughter, Tang Yin would not have suspected anything, but to not be able to answer such a simple question, it would be extremely strange.

Tang Yin put down his chopsticks, stood up, and looked straight at Old Town Chief: "Old sir, I'm full, I'll be taking my leave." With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Old Town Chief stood up quickly. He looked at Tang Yin's table, he had not even had a sip of the wine and he had only had two mouthfuls of the food, how could he be full? He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Benefactor, are the dishes and wine not to your liking?"

Tang Yin slowly shook his head and said: "Wine is a good wine and dishes are also good dishes. It's a pity that the old mister is hiding enmity towards us and concealing everything, causing us to feel as if we were sitting on pins and needles.

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "The old mister is a rich person in this town, and there are countless people who covet him. If there are more people coming to cause trouble in the future, the matter today will repeat, and I'm afraid no one will stand up to help the old mister then."

Finished speaking, he did not linger and walked out with large strides. Cheng Jin, Ah San followed along. Tang Yin's last sentence was a naked threat, causing both Old Town Chief and the young woman's expression to change greatly.

Old Town Chief was unwilling to let Tang Yin and the others go just like that, he felt that they should be important members of the upper echelons of the Feng Army. It didn't matter if he was hurt, but his family would be implicated as well.

He chased from the main hall all the way to the courtyard in the front yard. Seeing that Tang Yin and the others were about to exit the main gate, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly: "Benefactor, please halt. We are heading towards a place fifty kilometers to the east.

These words were more useful than anything else. Tang Yin and the others suddenly stopped in their tracks and turned around at the same time, looking at the Old Town Chief. The latter's face turned red as beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his face. His legs were trembling uncontrollably.

On Tang Yin's originally expressionless face, both his eyes suddenly curved, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a gentle smile. He walked back to Old Town Chief, lightly patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Old sir, is what you said true? Is there really such a place as Backwater Bay? "

The Old Town Chief nodded helplessly and replied: "There is indeed this place. The river there happens to be a big bend, and the current is extremely fast and dangerous, so the ships should not stop at the shore, thus it is relatively difficult to set up defenses, and with the distance between them and the capital city, Zhenjiang Navy would probably give up on defending there. "

"There's actually such a thing." Tang Yin rolled his eyes and thought: This is a good opportunity! Thinking of this, he asked, "Would old mister be willing to take me to see?"

"Oh ?" Old Town Chief hesitated and asked softly: "Is it now?" Fifty miles was not considered close, and since the road by the shore was not easy, it would take at least two to six hours to go back and forth.

[How can we delay such an important military situation?] Tang Yin said with a serious expression: "Right now, what, is it inconvenient for old sir?"

"No, no. It's just that we're a long way off ?"1

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin answered: "If elder does not have a carriage at home, I can get someone to arrange for one."

Listening to Tang Yin's words, even if he wanted to go, he had to go. The Old Town Chief was helpless, he laughed bitterly: "There is still a carriage, since it is ?" "Since benefactor insists on going, this old man will do as you say."

Tang Yin laughed happily, but Cheng Jin and Ah San frowned. They had never heard of a place with Backwater Bay before. What if there was an accident?

Cheng Jin reminded him in a low voice, "Young Master..."

Tang Yin understood what he meant, without waiting for him to finish, he waved his hand slightly, turned his head, and said softly: "It's fine, with my Spirit Force, even if something really happens, what can I do?"

Although he said that, Cheng Jin was still worried. He said in a low voice: "When we go out later, I will release a secret signal hinting to the Dark Arrow's brothers to follow and protect them."

"Sure." Tang Yin nodded and did not say anymore.

Old Town Chief only brought one servant to drive the carriage, and led Tang Yin and the other two to Backwater Bay. Ah San and Ah Si rode beside the carriage, but Tang Yin and Cheng Jin did not ride on horses. Instead, they sat in the carriage and chatted with the Old Town Chief.

Along the way, Tang Yin said puzzledly: "Our soldiers have carefully investigated the upstream and downstream of Zhenjiang, but we have never found this place called Backwater Bay."

Old Town Chief calmly said: "The Backwater Bay is just an unremarkable little place, and its position is relatively blocked. It's really not easy for outsiders to find it."

Tang Yin could understand why but it was extremely difficult for outsiders to quickly familiarize themselves with the local environment. No matter how capable the Sky Eye and Earth Web scouts were, they would not be able to find out every single place up and down of the Zhenjiang, not to mention it was several tens of kilometers away from their own camp.

He smiled towards the Old Town Chief and said: "If Backwater Bay is truly the best place to cross the river, I will definitely bestow them with great rewards. Even if Old Mister were to become the City Lord, it is not impossible!"

The one who spoke didn't have any intention, but the one who heard had his own heart. Old Town Chief's heart was moved, he was even more suspicious of Tang Yin's identity.

To make a long story short, after more than two hours of walking along the bumpy path along the river, the carriage could no longer move forward. At this point, there was no other way to get to the shore. As far as the eye could see, all they could see were weird rocks and walls. They could only pass through the forest on the shore.

As they entered the forest, Cheng Jin and Ah San took extra care to carefully observe their surroundings carefully, afraid that there would be an ambush nearby. However, their worries were unnecessary. The forest was normal, and there was no ambush.

There were small paths in the forest, and it seemed like there were people that passed by this place often. After walking for a while, when they arrived at the fork in the road, Old Town Chief changed his direction and headed towards the fork in the road. Cheng Jin chased after him and asked: "Old sir, how long until we can reach?"

"It will be soon. Just follow this path out of the forest." Old Town Chief was obviously familiar with the place and was very familiar with the environment here. After following Old Town Chief for a while longer, they exited the mountain forest. There really was a curved waterway in front of them.

This place was a mountainous terrain, and the Zhenjiang had coincidentally passed through the two mountains. Looking at it coldly, it was like a huge blade, cutting a large mountain in half from the center.

In addition, there were no sand on the two sides of the river, making it filled with strange rocks. Furthermore, it was filled with moss, smooth and slippery, and it was difficult to find a place to stand on, whether it was the North Bank or the south shore. It was difficult to find a place to stand on, because there was no way to stand on guard in such a place.

Amidst the rocks at Tang Yin's feet, there were several small rafts that were hidden. Clearly, they belonged to the fishermen, who had borrowed this place to fish on the river.

Although Tang Yin did not know about water battles, he could still tell that this was indeed a land where one could traverse the rivers.
