", that's not a merchant ship, is it?" Pan Monkey jumped up the wall and looked out.

was shouted by Tian Shi, and all five people squeezed up, occupying the top of the tower.

"Merchant ships are all walking close to the coast, how can they come from that direction. Boss Wu squinted and said, "And the ship type doesn't look like Qiguo's merchant ships, they don't run so fast." ”

"Chief, that ship seems to be heading for Jinxia City!"

"It can't be a pirate. Someone muttered.

Tian Shi felt inexplicably nervous.

He had been in the army for a short time, but he had never fought a real enemy, and he joined the army only for the reward.

Boss Wu spat into his palm, "If it's really Haikou, then it's fun." Guys, this is a great opportunity to earn merit!"

"No, boss, if you get stabbed, you'll die. ”

"If you take a knife and turn around and close the city gate, they will still be able to attack the city? At most, they will make a fuss outside the city. He said disapprerovingly, "As long as we can inform the brothers in the city of the news in time, we won't be able to run away from this credit!" Boss Wu slapped Tian Shi violently, "Well done, Shishi, if it weren't for your trouble, maybe they would have landed directly on the shore." When the time comes, you may be able to directly seal the rank of captain!"

Hearing what the other party said, Tian Shi suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

"Monkey, you go and take a run, bring the news to the government office, and let them close the city gate first!"

"Order!" Pan Monkey patted his ass and was about to run down the tower.

"Don't tell the gatekeeper, report directly to the government, understand!" Boss Wu admonished again, "If you let those people tell you, this credit will rob you of at least half of the credit!"

"I know. ”

"So what are we going to do?" the rest asked.

"What's the hurry, of course, is to continue to monitor. The ship could not sail to land, and it would not be too late for us to retreat back into the city when they had landed and confirmed that it was a pirate. ”

"Do you want to notify the residents outside the city?"

"It's just the four of us?" can you inform me?" Boss Wu glanced sideways at the questioner, "That's a matter of the government, let's not bother." ”

"Having said that, there are really a lot of ships in this sea bandit......" Tian Shi couldn't help frowning as he looked at the gray shadow of the sea antenna. He counted roughly, and found that the number of ships in his field of vision had increased from two or three at the beginning to more than ten.

A thousand taels of silver on a ship, right? When they are so rich, why do they still come to rob Jinxia City? Isn't it good to loot merchant ships along the road?

"Heh, you don't understand that. The reason why Kou is Kou is because the internal snakes and rats are mixed, and there are all kinds of goods. Boss Wu said disdainfully, "Looking at the momentum, once the wind is not right, don't they immediately disperse?" I don't believe you will see later, I guarantee that they will not dare to approach the city wall for half a step." ”

"The boss is very knowledgeable!"

"Not to mention the city wall, I guess they won't come to this watchtower. ”

Tian Shi suddenly remembered what the strange man said-

"But since the hexagram points here, it means that you are on the cusp. Why don't you listen to me and find a place to avoid it, so as not to get caught up in it?"

This beachhead...... Will it be on the cusp?

No, how is that possible. He shook his head, what Boss Wu said was not unreasonable, even if the other party came with hundreds or thousands of people, he would not be able to cross the east wall of Jinxia City.

But if he hadn't made such a move, how could he have discovered the strangeness of the sea so quickly?

At this moment, a gust of wind blew over the sea.

The salty smell of the sea breeze swept across the long beachhead, and the dust rolled up made everyone close their eyes.

The sky suddenly became a lot darker.

"Hey, Boss......" suddenly someone muttered, "Are you sure it's really a pirate ship......

Tian Shi half-covered his eyes and looked at the sea again.

Then he felt as if the blood in his body had clotted.

In the midst of the gray shadows, a very different ship appeared—several times larger than the pointed boats on the side, and the sails overhead were so dense that it looked like a moving island from a distance.

Everyone was stunned.

Many of them lived by the sea, and they had seen many brigs, but no ship could compare to this one before.

Even if it's a pirate, it's impossible to be so rich, right?

Gradually, Tian Shi also saw something different.

The ship's side is extremely high, like a building, and the layers are particularly obvious. On the side of the ship, there were dense holes - he didn't know why he made the boat like this, but one thing was for sure, such a steep side was definitely not suitable for loading cargo and transporting people.

Boss Wu gasped even more.

"Oh my God...... Bodhisattva bless......" He muttered in a low voice, and then raised his voice suddenly, "Beacon fire, quickly light the beacon fire! Don't be stunned there, move for Lao Tzu!"

"Boss, are you serious?"

Together, the meaning of this matter is completely different.

That meant that the surrounding beacons would also be lit up until the recently stationed troops responded.

"You don't care about the consequences, let's light the beacon fire first!" Boss Wu roared, "If these people have bad intentions, then the guards of Jinxia City will definitely not be able to deal with it!"

......

Twelve miles outside Jinxia City, Lugang Beacon Tower.

Wen Xingyuan put on a metal mask, straightened out his five-grade square robe, and walked slowly towards the tower.

"Stop!

As he approached the entrance, the guards at the top of the tower noticed his movements.

"The Privy Council investigates evil spirits, and I have something to ask of you. Wen Xingyuan replied coldly.

"Ah...... It turned out to be Lord Fangshi, please forgive the small faux pas. Soon the wooden door was opened, and the garrison captain took the lead in leading him in, "I wonder if you can—"

Wen Xingyuan took out the jade plate and displayed it in front of everyone.

The other party no longer had any doubts, and hurriedly arched his hand, "It turns out that you are engaged in adulthood, I don't know what you want to ask?"

"You ...... Did you notice anything out of the ordinary?"

"Strange?" Wu Chang glanced at his subordinates suspiciously, "Go back to your lordship, everything is normal here." ”

"Well, that's good. Wen Xingyuan put his hand into his sleeve, "Take me to the top of the tower to have a look." ”

Although this request is a little strange, there is nothing unreasonable about it - a small watchtower is forbidden to the people, but for the five rank squares of the Privy Council, there is nothing that cannot be seen.

"Then please come with me. Captain Wu turned to lead the way.

He pulled out the talisman and medicine guide that had been prepared long ago from the hidden pocket of his cuff.

"Kunshu is ugly, top corner. Wen Xingyuan read silently.

In an instant, four or five ground thorns suddenly burst out of the ground at the bottom of the tower, and the guards staying below didn't have time to react at all, and they were pierced by these sharp "stalagmites".

Screams suddenly rang out!

"It's ...... My lord......" Wu Chang turned around, stunned by this bloody scene for a moment.

And the answer to him was a short dagger.
