Standing at the mouth of the alley, looking at the black insects surrounded by bonfires, Wang Shouye suddenly realized that he seemed to have made another mistake.

Actually, you don't need to borrow any ballista at all!

Wouldn't it be easy and convenient to directly use gunpowder to arrange a delayed explosive device?

But everything has already been borrowed, and now it can only be wrong to make a mistake - anyway, you can't admit a mistake.

"Your Excellency."

At this time, Lu Jingcheng came up and reported: "The people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are ready, do you see if it's ......?"

"Bring a torch."

Wang Shouye stretched out his hand, and there was immediately a torch from Shanhaiwei next to him.

Wang Shouye raised it high and commanded, "Tell the crossbowmen that when I wave this torch, they will immediately start firing a volley!" ”

When Lu Jingcheng received the order, he estimated it in his heart for a while, and secretly opened his spiritual eyes, and then suddenly waved the torch.

Boom~

Laugh at~

The sound of the bowstring and the sound of the air breaking came to my ears almost at the same time.

Wang Shouye didn't care about it, only stared at the black worm in the distance with round eyes.

However......

Half an hour passed, but there was no abnormal reaction from the black worm.

Could it be that the black worm's counterattack is silent?

Or is the sound and light effect relatively small, and the distance under the eye is difficult to detect?

Tut~

Sure enough, we should wait until after dawn to test it.

He was trying to figure it out, when he heard someone behind him raise his voice and report: "My lord, it seems that he has missed the shot, do you want to do another round?" ”

Wang Shouye: "......"

Speechless for a long time, he silently raised the torch again.

However, none of the salvos in this round were hit.

Third ......

Fourth ......

Even at night, six ballistae for such a large target missed four rounds in a row.

It's outrageous, a bit too much!

The crossbowmen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies obviously also felt gloomy.

Therefore, the time for the fifth preparation is extraordinarily long.

And their efforts soon bore fruit.

After the fifth round of volleys, the black worm suddenly burst into a brilliant light!

Wang Shouye's eyes were pierced by the light, and he could only vaguely distinguish the outlines of the two wings and the dots of stars that diffused from the light.

These sparkling lights quickly enveloped most of the alley, and then disappeared into invisibility in an instant, along with the light cluster.

Winged light clusters......

Could it be that there is still a little angel living in the dark shell of this insect?

"Brother Bocheng?"

Wang Shouye frowned and groaned, until Ma Gui's voice sounded behind him, then he came back to his senses, and hurriedly ordered the guards to recover the twenty-four pigs and sheep tied in the alley.

Belch~

There shouldn't be so many of them right now, and the salvos just now seem to have hurt several of them.

The first treat the animals brought back was a half-bowl of bone meal.

It's a pity that the bone meal that once made a great contribution when the ghost finger disease was raging, but this time it didn't play any role.

Wang Shouye was not surprised by this.

Because those points of light just now, no matter how you look at them, they don't look like evil attributes, and they can't stimulate the evil attribute given by the Buddha's light relics, which is normal.

Next, just like when treating ghost finger disease, all kinds of medicinal herbs and utensils were applied externally and taken internally—in addition, there was also an additional bath with 'medicinal soup'.

A total of 17 pigs and sheep were assigned according to the original plan, and each had to try 23 to 26 rescue plans.

In order to save material, it is tested for pain tolerance after all rescue options have been tried.

However, compared with the original ghost finger patients, these beasts who can't communicate have no intention of cooperating at all.

Wang Shouye, who also lost, had expected it, and specially transferred a group of internal guards from the West Cross Courtyard, these people were used to poisoning the livestock, and they had already summed up a set of forced feeding plans.

But even so, nearly half of the seventeen beasts had already hung up halfway through the test.

So the test that could not be carried out had to be transferred to the remaining pigs and sheep.

This is plus or minus.

Just over an hour has passed.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer pigs and sheep, it is basically impossible to support all the experiments.

Wang Shouye had to order the second batch of pigs and sheep to be tied to the left of the black worm, ready to conduct the second round of experiments.

Who would have thought that at this time, the ten thousand friends went and returned, and when they arrived at the entrance of the alley, they did not get out of the car, but only ordered their relatives to follow the steward to send a message to Wang Shouye, saying that they were going to bring ten pigs and ten sheep back.

"What does that mean?"

Wang Shouye looked at the steward suspiciously, and suddenly said, "You also invited someone else?" ”

"Don't dare to deceive adults."

The steward said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "My lord has found more than a dozen eminent monks and Ming Dao, and now he is opening an altar in the mountain and sea prison - for the sake of safety, I hope that the lord will borrow a few beasts as a verification." ”

No wonder Na Wan Peng's attitude has not been very good, it turns out that he didn't put the treasure on the head of the mountain and sea prison at all.

Saying......

As soon as he thought that there were more than a dozen Taoist monks who were doing things in the mountain and sea prisons, Wang Shouye was unhappy in his heart.

Buying and selling is secondary.

If these monks can really cure Li Xu and others, wouldn't it prove that the Shanhai Prison is not worthy of its name?

But Wan Yupeng came forward in person, and it was not good for him not to even give him a few pigs and sheep.

That's it!

If those monks and Taoists really come up with something, it's a big deal to put them in the West Cross Courtyard for research.

Maybe you can learn some kind of Dharma and Taoism when the time comes.

Thinking like this, Wang Shouye did not hesitate, and after 'summoning' the 'Angel of Light' for the second time, he transported half of the pigs and sheep back to the yamen.

During this period, Wang Shouye naturally tried to distinguish what the light and shadow were.

But in the middle of the night, there was a sudden burst of brilliance, and it was like bringing a mosaic to the bottom of the eye, how could you tell it clearly?

Especially the light cluster can only be seen by Wang Shouye, no matter how others look at it, it is also dark and there is no change.

…………

And so the minutes passed.

Seeing that the sky was exposed, Li Rusong led people to transport the fourth batch of pigs and sheep out of the alley, and hesitated to report: "Father-in-law, if you are below, you must hurt these beasts." ”

"Go ahead."

Wang Shouye waved his hand without looking back, looking at the black worm from a distance thoughtfully.

Squeak ~ Squeak!

A moment later, a frantic pig cry sounded behind him, accompanied by a crackling lightning and thunder.

You don't need to look at it to know that it must be using thunder bricks.

The sudden silence that came from time to time announced the failure of the experiment.

Alas~

I don't know how many times I failed this night.

The only good news is that there is no progress on the Shanhai Prison side either.

Maybe......

We still have to start with the black worm itself.

"Rusong!"

Thinking of this, Wang Shouye turned his head and ordered: "Let someone lead a sheep over and see if the stinger can fight poison with poison!" ”

"The child understands!"

Li Rusong responded, and immediately ordered two foreign guards who were on duty here, and led a ram into the alley.

At this moment, a muffled thunderous sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and before they could reach the mouth of the alley, someone on the horse shouted loudly: "Where is the king's guard?" We have been ordered to ask the king to go back to the yamen immediately! ”

Wang Shouye walked out of the alley and took a closer look, the knight who was the leader was Wan Yupeng's steward.

"What is Wan Tingwei looking for me? Didn't he already find a dozen ......?"

"The king is guarded!"

Without waiting for Wang Shouye to finish his cool words, the steward rolled the saddle and dismounted, and said hurriedly: "Please go and save my son-in-law!" He...... He's dying! ”

Hehe~

Wasn't it full of confidence before?

How can this be just one night's work......

Wait a minute!

Wang Shouye said suspiciously: "It's almost over?" Can there be a delay in this? ”
