Poplar Beach.

Under the gray skylight, the soldiers set up piles of bonfires and sat around them.

Now, it is the middle of autumn, and it is still cold in the middle of the night in the capital, not to mention places like Huyangtan.

The soldiers leaned their backs together in twos and threes, trying to get a little closer to the campfire to warm their whole bodies.

It's been half a month.

Sharks appear at night.

The injured merman is nowhere to be found, and there is only one merman wreaking havoc on the poplar beach at the moment.

However, this mermaid has a vigorous posture and is very agile in his movements, which adds more trouble for the soldiers to catch and strangle it.

Some people have already begun to retreat, and they have secretly said in their hearts: Maybe this merman was sent by God to torture them, and there is no way to capture and strangle them.

At this time, a fast horse galloped from the direction of the capital.

Everyone is now a soldier, and they all look in the direction of the person with a panicked face.

The people came quickly, and in a short time they arrived at the side of the barracks.

It wasn't until everyone could see the faces of the visitors that they settled down.

Some people who were familiar with him had already greeted him, "Doctor Si is back." ”

Everyone knows that although this Si Tingyan is only a small doctor, the ancestor of the Si family is an imperial doctor, and this time, he was also named an imperial doctor by the saint before coming to the front line.

What's more important is that Si Tingyan's wife Lu Yunxi is not only the richest man in the world, but also the power of the Dyeing Xi Pavilion and the Yun family in Jiangning City and other places, she is also the number one celebrity in front of the Queen Mother.

Just take a look at the fact that the Queen Mother personally named her the county lord and gave her the title, you can see one or two from it.

Although Si Tingyan has a prominent status, he does not have half a point in the army, and often laughs with the soldiers, sharing weal and woe with them, these days have made everyone have a lot of changes in his opinion, and they all like him very much.

Many people have already stepped forward to lead the horse for Si Tingyan.

Soon, everyone realized that Si Tingyan was in a bad mood and his face was extremely ugly.

"Doctor, what's wrong?"

A round-faced soldier hurriedly stepped forward, looked at Si Tingyan cautiously, and asked in a low voice.

Si Tingyan smiled indifferently at the soldier and shook his head slowly.

He handed the reins in his hand to the soldier, "Where is Lord Jiang?"

The round-faced soldier pointed to the tent on one side.

Si Tingyan didn't say anything more, turned around and walked in the direction of the military tent.

Seeing this, everyone gathered together and chattered.

"Doctor, what's wrong?"

One of the soldiers glanced at Si Tingyan's distant back and said in a low voice.

The round-faced soldier shook his head slightly.

They had never seen Si Tingyan look so serious, and they were all a little surprised for a while.

Si Tingyan entered the military tent, but saw Master Jiang standing on one side, still looking at the map in the military tent.

The cold wind suddenly jumped into the military tent, causing Lord Jiang to pull his clothes up twice, and when he looked up, he happened to see Si Tingyan walking in from outside the military tent.

"Tingyan is back. Master Jiang nodded in acknowledgment, "How are you doing?"

In the afternoon of this day, a fast horse suddenly came to the capital and asked to see Si Tingyan by name.

Lord Jiang saw that the regulation of the horses was like that of the Five Princes' Mansion, and he didn't dare to stop it.

The man entered the military tent, found Si Tingyan, and said a few words, and Si Tingyan hurriedly resigned and returned to the capital.

I thought something big was happening in the capital, and I thought that Si Tingyan was going to go for a day or two. I didn't expect him to come back so soon.

Si Tingyan casually dealt with two sentences, walked to Lord Jiang's side, followed his gaze twice, and said in a deep voice, "The general is looking at the location of the merman these few times?"

Master Jiang nodded slightly.

He used a stick in his hand to gently slide twice across the map.

"You see, this is the place where the merman was discovered for the first time, and here is the place where the merman was found for the second time......"

Master Jiang clicked all the places where the mermen appeared in turn.

Actually, there is no need for him to point it, those places Si Tingyan has already remembered in his heart.

He discovered early in the morning that there was a pattern for mermaids to go ashore.

As long as he went ashore, he would not go ashore again after three or five days, when the shore was dry.

Si Tingyan speculated that the mermaids might be afraid of the slime on their bodies, so he deliberately waited until the sun had been exposed and the mucus they left on the shore had dried up, so he went ashore from that position in a hurry.

"I speculate that the next time they go ashore will be here. ”

Master Jiang didn't realize that there was anything wrong with Si Tingyan, he just pointed to a point on the map and continued.

Si Tingyan looked in the direction of Lord Jiang's finger, and after seeing the point clearly, he nodded slightly.

That's where the merman first landed!

This place is less than a kilometer from where the current military camp is located.

Seeing that Si Tingyan nodded, Lord Jiang knew that he agreed with his statement, so he continued, "So tonight, I am going to let all the guards stay here, and when the merman comes ashore, I will take it in one fell swoop." ”

It was obviously a very confident sentence, but Lord Jiang's eyes flashed for no reason.

After such a long war with the merman, Lord Jiang has long lost his courage and confidence.

At first, when he received this task, he thought that it would be overkill to put such an elite army of his own to deal with a merman.

However, after fighting with the merman a few times, Lord Jiang didn't dare to think like this anymore.

The mermaids are ruthless and huge, so they are really difficult to deal with.

Lord Jiang now only hopes that His Majesty can deny the fighting ability of his team as soon as possible, so that he can save the lives of more brothers. Even if he was dismissed by His Majesty, he would not hesitate to do so.

After listening to Lord Jiang's words, Si Tingyan knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed to Lord Jiang.

Master Jiang was shocked, looked at Si Tingyan in surprise, forgot to help him up for a while, and just asked in surprise, "What is Doctor Si doing?" ”

Si Tingyan looked up at Lord Jiang, and there was a bit of bitterness in his face, "Lord Jiang, I am ordered by Your Majesty to personally sprinkle the medicinal liquid that can destroy the merman on the merman. I also hope that Lord Jiang can send a team of brothers to go with me to help me complete His Majesty's mission. ”

When Master Jiang heard this, he raised the corners of his eyebrows in surprise, stared at Si Tingyan in surprise, shook the corners of his lips incredulously, and said cautiously, "You?"
