The wharf outside Gangneung City, two quarters of the hour.

Thousands of miles of the Yangtze River, on the prosperity, the upstream in Chengdu, Yuzhou, the downstream in Jinling, Guangling, the middle reaches in Jiangling. It's just that at this time, the wharf is no longer full of people and goods in the daytime, but the various ships docked on the river around the wharf are like houses and cities, and you can vaguely see the liveliness here during the day.

In the city of the ship house, there are bright lights, which is a lively gathering place at night. There is a curfew in the city, but there are no ships, and the place where the ships are located, especially the painting boat, is the most lively.

Where the wharf is located, in addition to the ships, the most is the warehouse, in a warehouse, the goods are piled up in the courtyard, and on the rather tall main building, the fifth girl is leaning on the railing, her delicate brows are slightly frowned, staring closely at an elegant three-story ship not far away.

There are not many such building boats here in the dock, but there are also many of them, so they are not eye-catching, but in the heart of the fifth girl, this building boat is very important.

"Fifth Commander, Yang Wu's ship has docked." Someone came to report to the fifth girl.

The fifth girl with a delicate body does not move at all, the night wind blows her red clothes and green silk flying together, over the years, the fifth girl who originally had a cold and hard breath has become more and more soft, quiet as a peaceful lake, fresh and smart.

She nodded, "Keep an eye on it, if someone gets off the boat, let it happen as soon as possible." ”

"Order." The sharp soldier of the military intelligence department took the order and left.

At that time, the wind is cold. There are fast horses coming from the inn.

The person who came was Zhao Xiangyao, he quickly went upstairs and personally came to convey Li Congjing's order to the fifth girl, "Your Highness has an order, the original plan has been changed, and someone will be sent on board immediately!" ”

"What happened?" The fifth girl saw that Zhao Xiangyao's face was not normal, and turned around and asked.

"Zhao Jiliang confessed that Gao Jixing has been in contact with Yang Wu for many days." Zhao Xiangyao made a long story short, "The enemy situation is deeper than expected, and there is a lot of variability, and it is no longer under our control." His Royal Highness has ordered all parties to no longer wait for the rabbit, but to start the layout of all parties in advance and take the initiative to attack. What is hidden under the calm surface of the water must be thrown into the water to find out. You can't wait any longer, you have to do it now. ”

The fifth girl nodded, "Yang Wulou's ship has been in a wait-and-see state, and no one has ever come ashore, so the enemy situation is indeed not clear. In that case, I'll personally bring people on board! ”

The fifth girl gathered the men, gave some orders, and led the people out.

On the boat of Yang Wulou, Lin Anxin, the head of the Tsing Yi Yamen, was closing his eyes in the cabin to recuperate, and suddenly someone knocked on the door and reported the change to her, "The head of the department, twenty or thirty small boats, several large boats, swaggering approached from all sides, the speed is very fast, menacing, and the appearance of forcibly boarding the ship!" ”

Lin Anxin hurriedly walked out of the cabin and came to the deck to take a look.

The building ship under his feet is like a big whale, and the ship that surrounds him is like a group of sharks. Where the ship passed, the water surface slid through the smooth ripples, like a sharp arrow, shooting towards the ship.

The other party's ships were all unlit, but in the moonlight, Lin Anxin still saw a little cold light reflected by the blade. She felt a murderous aura like substance, rushing towards where she was.

"Chief, how can I deal with it?"

Lin An'an's flawless face showed a hint of evil smile, "Order, the boat will sail towards the river and make a move to leave Jiangling!" ”

Why is that? At this moment, in order to cover up Xu Xiang's whereabouts, we should forcibly land on the shore and attract the attention of the enemy! ”

Lin Anxin was stunned, "If Xu Xiang is on the boat, with Xu Xiang's noble status, how can he forcibly go ashore and put himself in danger?" Leave the land of right and wrong for a while, protect yourself, and then think long-term, it is the best policy! ”

"The head of the department is wise, and his subordinates will give orders!"

There was not just one ship that arrived in Gangneung on this trip, but several ships.

When he was young, with the building boat at Lin An'an's feet as the center, several building boats sailed into the river and fled downstream.

As time passed, Lin Anxin, who was originally very calm, looked a little serious, and the river wind hit her face, blowing her gorgeous clothes, causing her body to be curved, and she didn't care at all.

The Tsing Yi Yamen Ruishi, who was in the role of observation on the top of the ship, came downstairs and said to Lin Anxin urgently: "Chief, the enemy ships have doubled, there are intercepting enemies in front and pursuing soldiers in the back, and we have nowhere to retreat!" ”

Looking at the dense ships on the river surface and the group discussions generally attached from all directions, Lin Anxin's eyes showed a chill, and she said coldly: "The Military Intelligence Department is serious, not just a temptation. Send out a signal, assemble in advance near the Tsing Yi Yamen, no longer have to hide your identity, all of them are dispatched, and together with the head of the department, fight to the death against the military intelligence! ”

Some people on the left and right were shocked: "What is crazy about the military intelligence department, why did it suddenly do it?" ”

Lin Anxin didn't speak, she raised her head under the night sky and looked at the bright crescent moon.

That crescent moon, in her eyes, no longer seemed to be blue, but blood-red!

The calm river protrudes into the river, and more than 100 ships of all sizes sail into the river. These ships converge in twos and threes, like wolves fighting for food, tearing each other apart.

As soon as the two ships touched, the long knives were unsheathed, human figures rushed out, the sharp blades glowed with cold light under the clear light, the crisp sound of metal striking was pleasant, and blood burst out without warning.

The river changes color, and the dock is night terror

A square in Gangneung City, Hai Shi.

A night watchman was yawning and slowly patrolling the streets, and suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be movement behind him, and he wanted to look back. But before he could turn around, he felt a darkness in front of him, as if he was entangled in something, and then, the coldness from his throat, like a flash of cold light in the night, Fang Ding, who couldn't move, only felt that all his strength was passing rapidly, and his mind was spinning for a while, he wanted to shout, but his mouth was covered tightly by something, and before he could struggle more, his consciousness had become nothing.

When he regained his gaze, his eyes felt heavy, and the last image in his mind made him realize that he had fallen on the street. The street was cold, the face was slimy, and in front of me were a few pairs of distant legs and feet.

——In the originally quiet and empty streets, suddenly out of nowhere came many people in Tsing Yi with knives and bows, they were like ghosts, silent, but agile and swift, converging on the house in front of them from all directions.

That mansion is the residence of the royal palace to record the army. This was the last consciousness of Fang Ding.

Dozens of agile men in black, organized in an orderly manner, they worked in groups of three, went to the palace to record the military outside the palace, paused for a moment, and after the left and right groups were in place, they climbed over the wall and entered.

The rank of the royal palace clerk in the army is not high, but the position is special, and the counselor is confidential on weekdays, and non-confidants cannot be responsible. The secretary of the mansion is surnamed Cao, named Qingyu, who has just passed the age of confusion, and has a big-bellied figure. When Fang Ding died outside his house, he was in the concubine room of Xinna, in the room where the dark incense was surging.

When the doors and windows of the room were violently slammed open, and several black shadows suddenly flashed into the house, Cao Qingyu was so frightened that he was startled by the little concubine. However, before he could make the next move, a black shadow came from in front of him, and then he felt a pain in his neck, and he lost consciousness.

When Cao Qingyu woke up again, he realized that someone had splashed water on his face, and Cao Qingyu, who was delirious, saw several people in Tsing Yi standing in the room, all holding sharp blades, looking at him with fierce eyes, which made him think that his home had been robbed, and immediately shouted: "Who are you waiting for, you actually stole a certain house, I don't know if you are dead or alive"

He couldn't say anything more, because a long, cold knife was already in front of his neck.

The only man in Tsing Yi who was sitting spoke, and there was not the slightest emotion in his tone, "Cao joins the army, don't shout, otherwise you will never have a chance to speak again." If your mind is regained, you should know that we are not thieves. A certain Wu Changjian, the commander of the military intelligence department under the command of King Qin, must know what your situation is now as Cao joining the army. ”

"MIA?!" Cao Qingyu, who was naked, changed his complexion greatly, but he was still a little bold, and he was not afraid of danger, "Why did you come when you attacked Cao's mansion at night?" Cao Mou is a record of joining the army under the command of the king of Nanping, if he dies unclear, I am afraid that the king of Nanping will not give up! ”

Wu Changjian showed a smiling smile, he leaned over and approached Cao Qingyu, "Cao joined the army, a certain family didn't plan to talk nonsense with you, a certain family appeared in your mansion tonight, you should know whether you can survive or not, only in the thought of a certain family." As for the King of Nanping at this point, do you think King Qin will still be jealous of King Nanping's attitude? ”

Cao Qingyu was stunned and said, "King Qin and King Nanping have turned their faces? ”

"Okay, Cao joins the army. A certain family comes today, only asks you one question, and you have three chances to answer, think about it and then speak. Wu Changjian resumed his sitting posture, "You can hear clearly, my question is, what did Yang Wu's secret envoy plan with the king of Nanping?" ”

Cao Qingyu knew that it was impossible to escape today, but he said stiffly: "Cao doesn't know what you're talking about!" ”

"Good!" Wu Changjian smiled, "You wasted your first opportunity. Now, you have two chances left. In order to let Cao Senjun think clearly, a certain family has something to show you. ”

At Wu Changjian's signal, several packages were handed over to the left and right, and Wu Changjian opened them one by one, revealing things that made Cao Qingyu tremble.

It was bloody human heads.

The owner of the head, Cao Senjun recognized it, and even knew it very well, because on weekdays, they all worked together for the king of Nanping.

Wu Changjian continued: "They just wasted the opportunity to answer, so they ended up like this. Cao joins the army, whether your head will be taken away by a certain family will be placed in front of the next palace official, it depends on your own choice. ”

The stimulation of sympathy made Cao Qingyu angry from his heart, and he said loudly: "If you slaughter the officials of the palace so unscrupulously, the king of Nanping will definitely not let you go!" ”

"Very good, Cao joined the army, you wasted the second chance, and now, you only have one last chance left." Wu Changjian smiled again, he beckoned, and then a man in Tsing Yi pulled a few people into the house and threw them on the ground.

Those people were all unconscious, and they were Cao Shenjun's wife and children.

"I have to remind you, Cao joins the army, your next words will not only determine your own life, but also decide whether their heads move." Wu Changjian was like a demon, although his tone was ordinary, but the words he said were terrifying, "In order to help Cao join the army to get an idea, a certain family might as well tell Cao to join the army, the army of the imperial court is already on standby and will march into Jingzhou at any time, that is to say, Gao Jixing's death is not far away!" ”

"If Cao joins the army and has the heart to abandon the darkness and make contributions to the court, the king of Qin has always had clear rewards and punishments, and he will not be stingy with rewards, and the future of Cao joining the army in the future will only be better than now. I believe that there will be no doubts about the reputation of the King of Qin, Xu Yonghui of Huazhou, Cao will know about it, the Long Sword Army besieged the King of Qin, and he can live unharmed now, which is proof. ”

Cao Qingyu's face turned pale several times, and he looked at his wife and children, his eyes were entangled and struggling.

"Okay, Cao joins the army." Wu Changjian stood up, "A certain family is still waiting to go to the next one, if you have something to say, now say it, don't say it, a certain family is leaving." ”

Cao Qingyu sighed, "King Nanping and Yang Wu do have dealings"

After a while, Wu Changjian sat down again, he ordered Cao Qingyu to throw a piece of clothing and wrap himself, and said to Cao Qingyu with a smile: "Cao joins the army, it seems that you and I will have more contacts in the future, right now, there are still a few problems in a certain family."
