The sea breeze was fierce, and the torches on the city were flickering and extinguishing, and I don't know whether they were used to it or didn't want to pay attention to it at all, but the sergeants gathered together boredly and talked to each other. 【】

"Ji Tou'er, did you hear anything? Coming from the sea. ”

"Voice? Of course there will be a sound, is there a wind on the sea, haha. ”

Ji Rui held the wine jug and poured a few sips of wine, and then replied vaguely: "Don't be suspicious, this is Ningbo, Jiangnan, and not Biansai, where did so many gods and ghosts come from, don't pay attention to him, let's continue to drink, the old man is not a festival, but we want to live." ”

"Yes."

The man who spoke earlier pondered it and felt that it was the same reason. The soldiers defending the city are stronger than those military households in the guards, and in the mainland, there is still a chance to extort merchants from and out, but there is no such privilege in Ningbo, and most of the merchants who come here are from above, who dares to give birth to a leopard to provoke people?

However, not being able to extort does not mean that you will be poor, and those maritime merchants who enter and leave the port have a lot of money, and occasionally get a tip, which is already considerable.

As for the duties, it is not so much that they are guarding the city gate and defending against foreign enemies, but that they are purely gatekeepers, and they are just catching a few chickens and dogs.

Foreign? How could there be, from the sea? Just kidding, how spectacular was the Grand Fleet a while ago? Even if there is someone who has bad intentions, I am afraid that it will be scared away long ago, not to mention who will have bad intentions?

"But, Ji Tou'er, I have heard that the fleet is headed for Arthur," the soldier seemed to be a natural pessimist, worried one after the other, "and this is the Imperial Harbor, and attacking it is not the same thing as rebellion?" We're not going to be implicated, are we? ”

"Implicated fart, the fleet is going under the banner of the Xu brothers, you know? That's a pirate! What does it have to do with Ningbo? Ji Xiaoqi burped and snorted:

"If it weren't for the sea route to the Wa Kingdom being cut off, it would be more convenient, as long as you recruit a group of ronins in the Wa Kingdom, and then let them play the vanguard, you can push the matter to the Wako afterwards, haha, Lushun that thief wants to open the sea, violates the ancestral system and goes against the ancestral system, and as a result, it provokes the Wako invasion, isn't this retribution? Even if the emperor is unreasonable, what can he say? ”

"Then what are the adults worried about? Even the festival is over, you see this street is deserted, I originally planned to go to the west of the city to open a piece, I heard that Fang Cuiyuan went to the capital to learn the scriptures, from the world-famous Lichun Yuan learned a lot of new tricks back, alas, what a pity! Someone sighed regretfully.

"Cut, even if you can get in?" Ji Xiaoqi spat on the man and said disdainfully: "Let me tell you, tonight Fangcuiyuan has been taken down by the young masters, and you want to go in with a small soldier?" Phew, there are no doors. ”

"Ji Tou'er, aren't you the same yourself? Why else would you be here? All the sergeants have been getting along for a long time and are used to it, but they don't have any scruples about being up and down, the little soldier retorted directly.

"I'm unlucky today, but I've been there before, it's that Mother Wu just came back, and when she was rehearsing, hum, Lao Tzu drank the soup, and the young masters drank the footwater, haha."

"Ji Tou'er, you've really been there, so tell us about it......"

"Yes, there is no eye blessing, let us report the ear blessing."

This kind of topic has always been the most popular, and the sergeants are all interested, hula and cheer around, the place where Ji Xiaoqi is located has become very crowded, but the rest of the city has become empty.

At this time, there were suddenly shadows flashing on the head of the city, it seemed that someone had gone to the city, but the minds of all the soldiers were on Fang Cuiyuan, and only the pink buttocks and jade stocks in the illusion were shaking in front of them, and no one noticed those movements at all.

It wasn't until a cold voice sounded that it broke the heat in their hearts and replaced it with a cold reality, and colder than reality was the blade around the neck.

"Don't move if you don't want to die! Whoever wants to shout and scream, then don't blame me for being rude. ”

"Yes......" found himself surrounded by a group of black-clothed people, the sergeants were very frightened, not to mention that their weapons were thrown aside, even if they were still in their hands, they had no strength to resist, they didn't do this in the first place, and it was too far away to use knives and guns.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is something to discuss, if you are inconvenient at hand, you have your own entanglement, if you want to find a place to stay, the villain is also familiar with Ningbo, and you can also lead the way, and then ......" Ji Xiaoqi is worthy of being an officer, and he also stepped forward at a critical moment, and the performance of being reasonable was very righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Don't talk nonsense, honestly open the city gate, and spare your lives, otherwise, hum ......" The man in black led by him sneered and shook the blade in his hand.

As soon as the "......" became nervous, the sergeants' observation skills also improved, and they finally found that the rustling outside the city was even louder, and it was not the sound of wind and grass, but a large group of people approaching! These people are not ordinary thieves, but premeditated and plan to sack Ningbo City!

With this understanding, Ji Xiaoqi was very hesitant, all families have private soldiers, and they are relatively strong, but the thieves are prepared to attack unprepared, and there are many of them, if they open the city...... "kill." ”

He hesitated, but the other party didn't hesitate at all, before the words fell, Ji Xiaoqi had already been stabbed in his throat before he could react to what was going on.

"Uh......" There was a low cry at the head of the city, and the soldiers were so frightened that they turned white, but the eyes of those men in black were like eagles, and no one dared to shout loudly, these people killed people without blinking.

"Does anyone know how to open the gates now?"

"Yes! I know. ”

"I know it too!"

This time the response was much more enthusiastic, and the sergeants scrambled to point to the tower, where the winch that opened the gate was located.

"Squeak...... Ah......h

However, as more and more people entered the city, their eyes widened more and more, and the horror even overpowered the fear, and the enemy ranks were mixed with a lot of strangely dressed people, with their feet on clogs, and small swords on their backs, there was only one kind of person who could dress like this, and that was the object they were still talking about just now, the Wokou!

"Chief, what about these people?" A man in black pulled a knife flower, and the knife light flickered, like the impermanence of life.

"Let them not get in the way." The man in black at the head gave an order, and all the men in black flipped their wrists and slammed the back of their knives on the necks of the guards guarding the door, and the latter fell down in response.

Before he completely lost consciousness, the sergeant who reminded him at the beginning realized that these people were not widows, so they would not be so merciful and not kill innocents in vain.

But these people are a threat to the Jiangnan people, no, it should be said that it is the Jiangnan family, but it is much greater than the Japanese Kou, the Japanese are just shooting and killing indiscriminately by instinct, and now these people are here to slaughter the family and exterminate the clan!

"These old soldiers are really waste wood, Brother Jiang, are we too cautious?" The monkey smiled, the preparation for this operation was very sufficient, he and his scouts were also prepared for a fierce battle, who knew that it would be easy to become like this.

"Don't be careless, don't forget, the regular army of North Korea is also like beggars, but the private soldiers of those wealthy families are many strong, when you escorted Mr. Wang to Jinzhou, the ones you met on the road were the killers of the Liang family in Lingnan, how about those people, you should know very well, right?"

"That's too." The monkey said stupidly, those killers who are not afraid of death, even he, a veteran of the battlefield, dare not ignore it, if the Jiangnan family has such a group of people, then things are really difficult to do.

"Don't worry, the eyes of the families here in Jiangnan are all staring at the sea, it shouldn't be as exaggerated as the Liang family, even if it's tricky, hehe, don't we still have cannon fodder?" Jiang Bin turned his head to look at those ronins, these animals were full of excitement, if they hadn't been given a strict order in advance and were subdued, I am afraid that they would have started to mess around uncontrollably.

Ningbo is far from being as big as Suzhou, Hangzhou and Nanjing, but compared to the Wa Kingdom, it is already a heavenly existence, so it is no wonder that these people show such expressions.

"Let's start, move quickly, after solving here, I have to go to Yuyao, and then go to Suzhou, shout with Lao Tzu, Ya Yan Butterfly!" Jiang Bin waved his hand.

"Ya Butterfly!" The crowd began to rush forward, and the ronins who had been ordered in advance also shouted loudly, and the sound shook the long street, and the silence of Ningbo was broken at once.

Each family has private guards, especially those who are listed as targets, they are all big families, but these private soldiers are just some Jianghu people after all, where can they resist the wolf-like border army? What's more, there are still Japanese cannon fodder on the side of the border army, and what happened is not so much a battle as a massacre.

Countless people woke up from their slumber and looked at each other in shock, and the strange tone of the wah-wah wah-wah told them that the most terrible thing had happened, and it was the Japanese who came.

Quickly jumped out of bed, moving everything that could be moved to block the door, no one had seen the ferocity of the would-be robbers, but everyone had heard of them, and even those rumors were spread by them, and after hearing too much, it was naturally as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

However, they soon found that their efforts were in vain, and the screams, killings, and wails for mercy were all heard outside, but if they listened carefully, they found that in fact, those voices came from several places, and they were quite concentrated.

People looked at each other in shock, looked at the direction, and the loudest place to shout and kill was where the major families in Ningbo were located. Or is it ...... The answer was on the lips, but it was too unbelievable that the people who wanted to go out of the city to ask for help had dispelled their thoughts, even if the shouts of killing had disappeared far away, even in the north. Although many people are aware of it, the second target of the Wako is.

Next to Ningbo to the north, isn't it Yuyao?

...... "Xianggong, the two of them have already slept, but this is ...... All right? Ling'er's cold jade face revealed a trace of unbearability.

"Well, don't let them know about it." Xie Hong nodded, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Yuyao, his eyes flashed with brilliance, "It's better to cry all the way than a family, it's better to cry all the way than to cry all the way in the world, since these stubborn old bureaucrats don't want to go to the garbage heap, then let them go to the grave to cry." ”
