Wu Chang clutched his severed neck and fell down in disbelief.

Hot blood splashed Wen Xingyuan's neckline.

"Poof!"

The cover at the top of the tower was closed.

Wen Xingyuan took three steps and made two steps, quickly climbed to the top floor, and swung out his fist hard, directly smashing the cover to pieces.

After climbing to the top of the tower, it was empty.

His heart sank suddenly, and there must not be a living mouth left at such a time.

Following the tower and looking down for a week, Wen Xingyuan found the last person at the bottom of the tower - in a panic, this person chose to jump off the beacon tower, but broke his calf when he landed. He tried as close to the tower as he could, eager to blend in with the stone, but all these attempts were in vain.

Wen Xingyuan directly performed the spell on the top of the tower, and as a result, he died.

The screams in the tower gradually subsided.

Although some people were not hit, they had several holes in their bodies, and the mere bleeding could kill them.

Wen Xingyuan is far away.

own magic ...... Apparently not as good as it used to be.

When he was in his twenties, he used his kun art with great skill, killing enemy soldiers and slashing traitors. In a scene like this, dealing with four or five unprepared junior guards, he could have killed them with one blow before, so that the other party didn't even have a chance to scream.

But now, he could no longer precisely control the position of each ground thorn, and after casting it twice in a row, his body actually felt a little tired.

Fangshu is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.

After becoming a faculty member, he hadn't done it himself for a long time.

Fortunately, everything went well, after pulling out this beacon tower, the next beacon tower was too far away from Jinxia, and it was blocked by mountains, so it was impossible to notice the warning issued by the sea in a short time.

Of course, beware of the messengers released by Jin Xia City.

He has handed over the interception to Zhang Wendao to be responsible.

As long as the first messengers are dealt with, a day of delay will not be a problem. When he thought that Jin Xia City was about to be plundered, and that he would soon be able to completely expel Xia Fan from the Privy Council, Wen Xingyuan's heart felt extremely happy.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a slight change in the eastern sky.

In the black smoke that did not disperse in the sky of Yancheng, a slender wisp of green smoke slowly rose, it was so faint, as if it would be swallowed up by black smoke if you were not careful.

It's finally begun.

Wen Xingyuan took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood stains on his neckline, and walked towards the bottom of the tower without looking back.

......

"Ahem...... Why haven't the gates been closed yet?"

finally rose the beacon smoke, but Tian Shi found that the gate of the east wall was still wide open, and there was no warning at all.

By this time two small sea-boats had approached the beach pier, and the men who had jumped from them were all bandaged and armed with scimitars and spears, apparently not in good faith.

"Boss, boss, things are a little bad!" Pan Monkey ran back out of breath, "No one in the government pays attention to my news!"

"What do you mean?" Boss Wu glared, "Have you seen the master book or Gong Cao?"

"Not a single one! I brought the news to the back, but the reply I got was that none of the chief officials were in the mansion!"

"All...... Not there?" Boss Wu slammed his fist on the wall, "Ladies and gentlemen, are you going to the Qinglou collectively until you lose contact? When is this not good, but now!"

"Uh...... Shall I tell the gate guards the news?"

"Damn, you haven't said anything about feelings!"

"Didn't you tell me not to give credit away...... Pan Monkey said aggrievedly.

"Okay, I'll settle accounts with you about this later!" Boss Wu scolded and scolded, "Everyone, now that the smoke has risen, let's retreat to the city first." The credit is gone, and everyone will help them close this city gate!"

After getting off the tower, the five of them ran all the way west, and at the same time shouted loudly that there were Haikou to come to the shore, so that the nearby residents and fishermen hurriedly retreated to the city to avoid the risk for the time being.

Hearing their warnings, many people put down their work and followed them suspiciously.

By the time they reached the gates, they had a long line of hundreds of men behind them.

Tian Shi found that the east city gate was unattended.

At this time, even Boss Wu felt that something was wrong, and he led everyone straight to the city wall, only to see that the roller used to close the city gate had been completely smashed.

Around the roller, there was still a trail of undried blood.

It was obviously broad daylight, but Tian Shi felt a chill down his spine.

This was not a sudden plunder, but a planned attack - the enemy was not only at sea, but had even infiltrated the city!

"You go. Boss Wu said coldly.

"Where are you going?" said Pan Monkey with a blank expression.

"Of course, it's to join up with the main army, do you think that just a few people can repel the pirates? ”

Boss Wu knew very well in his heart that the permanent garrison force of Jinxia City was the two or three hundred people in the official government, and it was okay to maintain law and order and pursue the murderers in normal times, but it would definitely be defeated when it came to a tough battle. The Shenzhou army camp is only one day's journey away from Jinxia City, and if you hurry up, you can bring the conversation in the afternoon, and only by letting the army rush to Jinxia City can you destroy this group of invading enemies.

Of course, if the beacon fire is passed normally, at most half an hour later, there should be a reaction from there.

It's just that these seven or eight beacons haven't been in operation for many years, and he doesn't know whether he can bring warnings or not.

So to be on the safe side, it's best for them to make the trip themselves.

What's more, this is also a great credit.

Boss Wu only hopes that Lord Taishou can do something serious, and transfer all those who can still be used to the west, south, and north walls, and it is okay to defend one if he can't do it. In this way, when the Shenzhou army arrives, they can immediately enter the city to suppress the cowards, otherwise things will be troublesome.

"What about you?"

"My home is in Jinxia, what do you say?" Boss Wu waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'll go over to you when I settle my family." ”

The crowd went back to the corridor, intending to leave the city wall the way they came.

However, Pan Monkey, who was walking in the front, suddenly weakened and fell to the ground.

Then came the other two.

Tian Shi froze in place.

"Beware of the top of your head!" Boss Wu pushed him away violently, rolled on the spot, and pulled out a knife.

He only heard two dings, and sparks appeared at his feet - after getting up from the ground, Tian Shi noticed two strange darts stuck in the stone slab of Yongdao.

A dark shadow slipped down from the ceiling.

The man was not tall, wore straw sandals, and had a scimitar almost as long as the other man's waist pinned to his waist.

"Get in your grandfather's way, look for death!"

Boss Wu roared evilly and strode towards the other party.

At the same time, the other party drew his sword out of the sheath, slashed at the boss of the upper grid, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and slashed it straight down-

With the sound of flesh being sliced apart, a bloody mass of things slid down, and Boss Wu convulsed twice, and collapsed weakly in this mass of flesh and blood.

Tian Shi trembled and picked up his weapon, and great fear welled up in his heart.

He didn't want to die.

At least not to die here!

He still has a wife and unborn children waiting for him!

"Ah——————————!h

Tian Shi screamed and rushed towards the other party, stabbing straight into the enemy's face!

The short man rested his knife on his side, shook his head, and pushed away the stab lightly. Then he pressed the tip of the knife down and swept through Tian Shi's abdomen, which had lost his balance.

Strength flowed out of his body at once.

Tian Shi staggered two steps forward, no longer able to support his body. The exit of the tunnel was not far away, and he could even see the sunlight outside.

But the distance of more than ten steps is out of reach.

"Wife...... I...... Don't want to die ......"

This...... Is it fulfillment? If only I had listened to the strange alchemist earlier......

Tian Shi finally thought.
