The Haining City Wharf on Guanbei Road is the southernmost point of the entire Youbei Third Road, and it is also the only ice-free port on the land covered by ice and snow for many years. However, over the years, due to the extremely weak national strength of the three roads in Youbei and the troubles of conservative internal and external disputes, until this moment, it has still not been able to spare enough time and money to fully develop this strategic and economic land.

The rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be walked step by step; After listening to the previous trouble, Emperor Xingping and Prime Minister Wan Cheng, who successfully came to power, also refocused their attention on Haining County. According to their original plan, as long as the mutual trade between the two norths in the East Customs tends to stabilize, with the support of a large amount of commercial tax revenue, this small county in Haining will soon become a Shencheng port belonging to Youbei Third Road.

Of course, at present, Guo Xing has invaded Zhongshan Road on a large scale, and the entire Huayu Continent has also been involved in a state of war.

About ten days ago, this small coastal county was mobilized with a team of about 20 people. Due to its remote location, it is rarely visited by living people; Therefore, after these twenty outsiders appeared, they immediately became lice on the bald head, and their every move was extremely eye-catching.

However, to the strangeness of the villagers in Haining County, these twenty military masters were neither stationed in the county nor living in the imperial palace, but squatted near the dock. These people were divided into two shifts day and night, and they kept guard a luxurious carriage covered with silver satin every inch, which was really confusing.

Fresh is fresh, but who doesn't need to run around to make a living? After a few days of onlookers, the curiosity of the local people gradually dissipated, and no one took this strange incident as a talking point anymore, and tried to avoid passing near the dock......

At the beginning of the night, it was still dark; The young pawn in charge of the night yawned, rubbed his sour eyes vigorously, and stamped his feet to warm himself while staring at the endless coastline to the south; Not far behind him, there was an old man with a steel knife in his arms and a big tree with his back, who was trembling by a sudden sea breeze, and yawned with a big mouth, as if he had eaten some delicious food, and smacked his lips vigorously......

The pawn heard the voice behind him, moved his stiff neck slightly, and quipped:

"What's wrong, Uncle Zhao? Sleepy again? ”

"Huh... The wind on the beach is so fucking hard! You've stayed up for half the night, huh? What kind of line of work is this, you have to learn to be lazy, you know? Let me tell you, this kung fu of standing up and sleeping is the basic skill of our soldiers! When I followed the handsome man to the south and the north station, even if I was carrying the guys on the road, I could still listen to the footsteps of the brothers and take a few naps in a hurry! “

"Blow it, you'll be there! With such a hard sea breeze blowing, even if you can sleep, you must be sweating all over your body, and you can't swing it? ”

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Boy, don't think that you are a ruthless calf in our camp; But do you think that being a soldier and fighting a war depends on your skills? Bullshit! ”

"Huh? So what's that? ”

"See what? Come, light a pot of cigarettes for your Uncle Zhao, and let's talk about the Tao ......"

The old and the young hid behind a stout tree, exchanging battlefield experience of marching and fighting, and sharing the same pot of good southern Yunnan tobacco.

Just when the two were talking, and the cigarette pouch and pot were also hot red by the two, the little pawn with fine fluff on his mouth suddenly raised his arm, pointed to the dark sea in the distance, and asked in a low voice:

"Uncle Zhao, look, are my eyes spent? Why does it look like there's a boat hanging light? ”

This Uncle Zhao is in his forties this year, and his eyes have begun to be a little flowery. He followed the direction of the young comrade's finger and looked with his eyes, as if there was indeed a faint yellow light on the sea, slowly moving towards the dock of Haining City......

"It seems like it's true! You go to the fire and put on the lamp, and I will report to the prince! ”

After finishing speaking, this Uncle Zhao hurriedly put his waist knife on his crotch and ran straight to the north. Not long after, Uncle Zhao, who had gone and returned, hurriedly led the way in front; And the commander of the Flying Bear Army, the general Wang Yan Chongwu, was neatly draped, holding a bear-headed general helmet on his left arm, and hurriedly followed behind the other party.

"My subordinates have seen Wang Jia Chitose!"

The young pawn who had just lit the brazier stand on the dock, as soon as he saw Yan Chongwu coming here, he immediately knelt on the sand and kowtowed repeatedly. If Yan Chongwu only wore the standard armor of the camp as he did in the past, he would not have made such a big salute; However, now that Yan Chongwu is wearing the general's armor given by His Majesty, it is obviously an extremely formal occasion.

"Get up, hang the lamp!"

"Yes! Please drive the king's thousand-year-old purpose, how many lamps should be taken? ”

"Hmm...... Eight lamps! ”

"It's... Be! ”

That Uncle Zhao was really an understanding person, and when he saw the pawn knocking on the leader's order, he immediately ran behind the tree and took out a stack of white paper lanterns tied with bamboo rings. After the two of them were busy, eight white paper lanterns had slowly risen on the lampstand on the shore of the pier; If you have better eyesight, you can clearly see that in the middle of each lantern, there is a big word "Lay" written on it.

Eight white paper lanterns, eight inscriptions, and eight distinct pen styles.

The dim point of light above the sea was also emitted by a small lantern; It was hanging from a small sand boat full of crossbow arrows. This nocturnal sea boat seems to have crossed from Hanshan County, which gave birth to the ancient classic of straw boats borrowing arrows; Everywhere the eye can see, there are dense crossbow arrows and gaps, which make people feel chills down their spines when they look at it, and they dare not think about it.

It's more appropriate to say that this is not so much a ferry boat as a ghost ship.

On the deck of this ghost ship, there stood a gray-bearded Taoist, pulling the direction of the sails with one hand and steering the balance rudder with the other, apparently wrestling with the rising wind and waves.

As the so-called looking at the mountains and running dead horses, looking at the water and thirsty dead cows, don't look at a short distance of sea within sight, but until this small sand boat covered in bruises successfully anchored and docked; About two moments have passed since the palm light on the shore.

Zhang Qingniu really lived up to the position of the head of the Xuanyue Dao Palace, not only easily killed dozens of Minjiang water thieves, but also unharmed; Even though he was a little rusty with his way of controlling the boat at this time, he was obviously not ignorant; Although it is not easy to talk about the mastery, it has also introduced this broken ship full of holes into the safety zone safely.

After Zhang Qingniu jumped off the deck, he shook the dust in his hand and plunged into the woods; Yan Chongwu thought that this old way had encountered three emergencies in his life, so he was embarrassed to call him again.

"Shen Gui? Shen Gui? ”

Yan Chongwu strode onto the deck, stood outside the cabin door and called out carefully.

"Is it a black blind man? Come in and talk......"

Yan Chongwu pushed open the two already meaningless hatches, enduring the stiffness brought by the armor. Slowly walked into the cabin.

At this time, Shen Gui was holding an old man with a naked upper body and a disheveled hair in a daze. The old man's eyes were closed, and he probably had a dozen crossbow arrows on his back, and the wounds ranged from innocuous flesh wounds to several vital death points; Yan Chongwu looked down at the scarlet in the cabin, it was obvious that the blood in the old man's body had already dried up, and he should have been dead for a long time.

Yan Chongwu cautiously looked at Shen Gui's face, but his judgment in this regard had always been a little dull, and he couldn't see any clues; Turning his head to look at another young man, he found a sadness on his face that could not be dissolved.

Obviously, this old man, who has been dead for a long time, should be his own person.

"Shen Gui, ......who is this senior?"

"The north is sheng and the south is thunder, and the north is sheng."

"It turned out to be Sheng Beichuan...... I've heard his name before...... How? Is this that he got married to someone and was attacked by someone? ”

"No, I am the one who has a grudge against others, and I am also the one who deserves to be in trouble today...... Tell me, is there any fairness in this world? Why is it that every time I cause an incident, someone else has suffered it for me? ”

Yan Chongwu was speechless for a while, he didn't know the situation, and he didn't know how to comfort this old friend who hadn't seen him for many days.

Go back in time to when Zhang Qingniu borrowed a sword to meet the enemy; When the leader of the Minjiang pirates shouted a correct way to attack, he was immediately broken by Zhang Qingniu's sword, and his body was planted in the cold and biting seawater. However, no matter how fast Zhang Qingniu's movements and cultivation is, he can't block the heavenly machine crossbow arrows from the left and right sides at one time, and it is really difficult to take care of the head and tail.

These dozens of Minjiang water thieves, with the rapid rate of fire of the Heavenly Machine Crossbow and the simple and easy control method; In a short instant, the entire cabin was plowed back and forth with crossbow arrows.

Qi Yan's light achievements are naturally undoubted, even if he is said to be the first in the world, he is suspected of bragging; When he heard the sound of a rain of arrows, he immediately jumped into his body, cast an exquisite gecko swimming wall, and clinged himself to the blind spot of the crossbow arrows on the roof of the cabin, and found a safe haven; However, although Sheng Beichuan and Shen Gui were also on guard, they were still injured at this time, and they couldn't lift half of their strength at all!

The rain of arrows was fleeting, and in this short moment, Sheng Beichuan seemed to suddenly realize and said, "I understand!" He immediately turned over and pounced, using his body as a shield, and pressed Shen Gui, who was powerless to hide.

On the deck, Zhang Qingniu changed his style from being so indifferent and relaxed, but instead displayed a completely different style of finger-winding soft sword, which looked very much like the set of fast swords that were practiced crooked by Lu Xiangyin! In just three breaths, he killed all the Minjiang thieves with a speed that his eyes could barely catch, and even their high-priced rented fishing boats were cut into pieces of sawdust......

It's a pity that he was still a little slower after all, and the crossbow arrows that were overwhelmingly shot into the cabin had already killed Sheng Beichuan, who was a shield, with random arrows. Pity this green forest hero who is a day and a place, and when he died, he didn't even leave half a last word!
