From the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry to Hunting Sins and Becoming Saints

Chapter 102 Airship

"Yuntai Ferry is just ahead."

After the inspection, they encountered no further questioning along the way. Before long, Mo Tong pointed to the vast expanse of water and the ferry crossing with its towering sails.

Yuntai Ferry, one of the largest commercial ports in Yuntai Prefecture.

Large ships were linked together, their lights blazing, and dozens of six-masted ships, each nearly a hundred meters long, were linked together and encircled the perimeter.

As the colossal vessel moved, the various merchant ships that came to churn and churn cargo were swallowed up by the convoy.

Without Mo Tong giving any specific orders, these skilled and experienced sailors completed the port entry procedures on their own.

These men were shrewd. Although their superiors had changed, and their old crew members and guards had also been replaced, the sailors kept quiet and acted as if nothing had happened after receiving a few taels of silver as a reward.

It doesn't matter who you work for, the new owner is even more generous, and according to rumors, they're working for the government.

"Raise the flag."

A sailor on the lookout tower looked at the command flag standing high on the lighthouse in the distance and shouted down.

Without the slightest hesitation, the captain of the sailboat immediately raised the flag high, the black flag fluttering high.

Above the outer fleet of ships forming a huge semi-circle, dozens of bright red crested macaws, their feathers glossy and majestic, flew around the ships entering the harbor before quickly flying back to the tower.

"This is?"

Fu Que was somewhat curious.

"This is a macaw, a demon species kept by the Water Affairs Bureau. Although it doesn't have much combat power, it flies fast and has a good memory. It is usually used to assist in registering ships entering the port."

A sailor answered Fu Que's question.

"interesting."

Fu Que smiled.

The massive cargo ship, guided by the others, sailed into the semi-circular Yuntai ferry array, just like a fish swimming into a school of fish, completely inconspicuous.

Passing through the array of boats at Yuntai Ferry, several wide canals, like rolling dragons, divide the Yangtze River, resembling radiating branches.

A thousand sails race, a hundred boats contend.

Luxurious pleasure boats, exuding a decadent fragrance, and merchant ships laden with goods, along with large ships bearing the black flags of various merchant guilds, powerful families, and even other prefectures, crisscrossed the crisscrossing waterways.

Despite the large number of ships of different types, they remained orderly under the command of the flag signals from the towering watchtowers.

Because the ship carrying Fu Que was flying the official flag of Gaoyang County, it enjoyed special privileges and was not required to enter the main channel. Instead, it was diverted to another waterway with fewer ships. After passing through a magnificent lock, the ship slowly dropped anchor.

"Thank you for giving me a ride, Manager Mo. Let's part ways here."

The dock was bustling with activity, with shouts rising and falling, and goods being transported back and forth in an endless stream, full of prosperity and vitality.

Fu Que bowed to Mo Tong and said.

Given the special status of the Dragon Tiger Cavalry and his new arrival, it was best for Fu Que to keep a low profile until he had obtained any information. He did not want to still be labeled as a member of Gaoyang County at this time.

Fu Que always adhered to the principle of considering things from the perspective of the situation.

The soldiers patrolling the dock exuded a chilling aura, their sharp eyes constantly scanning the crowds coming and going. Most of their qi and blood fluctuations hovered around the Blood Gate level, with the squad leader being a peak Blood Gate martial artist.

"Lord Fu Que, you are too kind. You have important matters to attend to, so I will not keep you any longer. If you have time, you are welcome to visit the Yu family's original courtyard in Yuntai Prefecture."

Because of the strange things that happened at the Waterway Inspection Division, Mo Tong was also a little worried. This was a job she had actively sought out. Although there was always a chance of failure in developing trade routes, she didn't want something to go wrong on her first business trip.

Fu nodded, then turned and left.

Leaving the dock, Yuntai City was far superior to Gaoyang County. While Gaoyang County still had standard ancient multi-story buildings, Yuntai City had already built high-rise buildings that were nearly ten or twenty stories taller than in the previous life.

Unlike the straight and upright high-rise buildings of the previous life, the high-rise buildings of Yuntai Mansion are full of wildness and magnificent beauty. Some floors are simply carved out of a single huge rock or directly carved out of a small mountain.

The buildings stand side by side, each with its own unique style, yet they all exude a powerful and unrestrained beauty that seems to defy the heavens and the earth, with their flying eaves, bracket sets, carved beams, and painted rafters.

The streets were wide and flat. Fu Que estimated that there were at least fifty horse-lengths of bricks and stones paved with whole cast bricks and stones. The patterns on them shimmered with a warm luster, clearly serving a purpose other than decoration.

The swordsman with the cleaver in hand had fully recovered. Fu Que's aura had become incredibly refined. Coupled with his experience of killing people on the battlefield, he appeared decisive and efficient. Even with the crowds coming and going at the dock, Fu Que easily squeezed his way out of the throng.

Arriving at a relatively quiet street, Fu Que slid a delicate iron piece from his sleeve, and with a slight pressure of his fingers, a drop of blood soaked into the iron piece.

Soon, a faint red line appeared out of thin air in Fu Que's field of vision.

The Da Zhao version of Gaode Maps has the only drawback: the destination is fixed and can only be used once.

Fu Que muttered something to himself and started walking in the direction indicated by the red line.

When the red line disappeared, Fu Que had already left Yuntai Prefecture City and arrived at the side of a huge creature lying on the outskirts.

"Fu Que?"

Beneath the colossal object, a man dressed in black military uniform, exuding a military aura that seemed to emanate from his posture, asked a question.

"yes!"

Fu Que instinctively stood at attention, his right hand about to raise in salute, but the nerves honed through countless battles reacted instantly, suppressing the salute and keeping his hand pressed against his thigh as he responded.

The soldier in black sized Fu Que up and down, then suddenly smiled slightly, extended his hand, and said, "Welcome to the tiger's den in Yuntai Prefecture, you little tiger cub."

Fu Que also reached out and shook hands with him. This hand was large, strong, and had an iron-like firmness.

Although the soldier used the term "tiger cub" in his speech, Fu Que did not find it offensive. In his true vision, billowing red smoke traveled along the soldier's spine, clearly indicating that he was a martial artist of considerable strength.

At least for now, Fu Que has no way to compete with the other party.

Moreover, what he heard from the words "tiger cub" was not contempt, but a kind of concern and playful scolding, just like an elder to a younger generation.

The man in black pointed to the enormous object beside him, gesturing for Fu Que to go inside.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. This behemoth is somewhat similar to the airship that Fu Que knew about online, but instead of a giant egg-shaped steam bladder floating on top, it doesn't have one.

Instead, it's a large metal frame supporting a bat-shaped membrane wing panel, which looks somewhat like a modern airplane, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't resemble one.

Fu Que could only temporarily refer to it as an airship.

Inside the airship, besides Fu Que, there were two other people, younger than Fu Que, whose eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain.
