"The beacon tower must be strictly guarded!" He thought about it and asked the sorcerer to add an enchantment.

The Dragon's Throat Gang itself is guarded by a rune array, and it is not usually opened. There are a few magicians stationed in the army, isn't it easy to do this job?

But paying for the beacon to add an enchantment, Shou Yuan didn't have time to report it———— and he didn't approve it so quickly, at least ten days and a half months———— so he could only pay out of his own pocket to bear it first.

The next night, it was peaceful.

Every minute this barrier is open consumes energy. No matter how refined the defensive enchantment created by Shushun Coin is, at least half of the Xuanjing must be used up every day for ten consecutive hours.

Two days is a whole block!

He can be sent to the dragon throat post in the mountains to guard the pass, but he has no money and no connections, who doesn't know that the task of guarding the pass is heavy and the salary is small? After two days of doing this, he couldn't do it.

He also asked for help from Shangfeng, but his boss scolded him. Xuanjing: How valuable is that strategic material, and you want to use it to deal with an invisible threat?

The most important thing is that there is no end to this prevention, do you want to prevent it for a day or two, ten days and a half a month, or a year or two?

Thousands of dollars of silver were spent without a sound of water, and if the boss dared to approve it, the boss's boss might think that he had filled his pockets.

So the barrier soon became untenable.

On the third night, the beacon was lit again, this time three beacon stoves were lit.

But there was no war on the Western Front, and the mountains and forests were very quiet.

Looking up, the beacon fire of Longji Pass quickly rose, and the guard's eyes were dark, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl:

Brother on the high platform over there, you can't wait?

But this time, the soldiers guarding the beacon tower finally caught the real culprit:

Wild monkeys in the mountains.

These monkeys would steal torches from the camp, or use tree branches to start a fire in the camp and throw it into the beacon.

The general was annoyed: "How can a monkey light a beacon fire for no reason?"

Of course, the soldiers were speechless, and no one dared to squeak.

In the second half of the night, only henchmen whispered to the guards, there are many wild monkeys in the mountains, and a few days ago they came to steal the dry food of the soldiers to eat, and they were burned to death by the latter, and the meat was also shared. Maybe the monkeys have a grudge, so they did this.

Is this worth it? The guard immediately sent people up the mountain to catch the monkeys.

But the mountains are the home of the monkeys, and where can the soldiers be flexible here? I only caught three or four heads with all the effort to eat. As a result, the monkeys became even angrier, and threw stones directly into the checkpoints and camps, and the guards were accidentally smashed with blood on their faces.

The worst thing is that there was another false alarm in the capital, and the prince was furious, and he changed the guard without saying a word.

......

On the same night, Panlong City.

The thin man was just about to leave the house when a gong suddenly sounded outside, and someone shouted, "Street-mouth——— Xuan-speak!"

Panlong City's large-scale pre-war mobilization and propaganda has finally begun.

The crowd gathered, all listening to the man on the street interpreting the announcement in a broken voice.

First of all, the heroic and righteous monarch of Xiluo has issued an order to move to peace, and the people of the Kite Kingdom in the Panlong Wasteland will immediately return to their homeland.

Secondly, the Jinxi Corridor is controlled by the Baling people, and the terrain is difficult, which is not conducive to the passage of the people. Panlongcheng decided to open another Nantongguan-Hebi-Changhe route to return to Da Kite.

Again, Panlong City declared all-out war on the Western Kingdom:

It is unbearable for Xirui to disturb our border defense, kill my people, and intercept my commercial goods.

Whoever stands in my way back to the country today, die!

The first time the preacher recited the proclamation, there was a commotion.

Through the door, the thin man could hear the sound of running, exclamations, and the sound of the neighbors opening the door.

"It's time to fight Xiren! We're going to fight Xiqi! "Countless people were cheering.

The sound is noisy, and the wave is higher than the other.

In his memory, there was no time when a street preaching had caused such a big response.

By the time the preacher had read it for the sixth time, there was already a crowd outside the door, and more and more residents were chanting along with him.

In the end, it turned into a bold sentence that rushed into the sky:

"Whoever stands in my way back to my country, die!"

In this way, the crowd is passionate.

The thin man stood at the door looking at the crowd, and the little nephew clenched his fists beside him, and shouted in the same milky voice, "Whoever stands in my way back to the country, die!"

The thin man was amused, and he snapped his head: "Life and death, you know a P?"

The little nephew looked at him sideways, his eyes shining: "Why don't you understand, we are going to fight, and then we can go home!"

The thin man took a deep breath:

"Yes! We're going to beat it up and make a way home from it!"

Like all cheerers, his heart was full of longing and heroism.

Just as the Broken Knife Squad expected, there is no need to mobilize for war, and there is no need to boost morale, as long as an announcement continues, the agitation and belligerence of the soldiers and civilians in the city at this moment will naturally climb to the peak.

If someone is looking at Panlong City from a distance at this moment, they will find that a huge dragon-shaped phantom is faintly floating above the city, like light and shadow and like flowing clouds, but in fact, it is a concrete image of luck and Yuan Li.

The name of "Panlong" is true.

......

The fate of the predecessor was uncertain, and the newly appointed Dragon's Throat Guard was trembling, first went to see the beacon tower, and then looked at the monkey hiding on the mountain peak and grimacing at himself, and decided to poison him.

They reduced the poison in their food and threw it at the monkeys, and sure enough, about a dozen of them died.

However, the remaining monkeys were even more angry, and even the monkeys from other hills came over, condescendingly urinating and throwing stones at them, and choosing to make noise in the dead of night to disturb the dreams of the officers and soldiers.

Fortunately, the sentinels took strict precautions, so that the monkey did not succeed again.

But in this way, everyone is nervous, they can't sleep well at night, and they don't have energy during the day. If this human-monkey war does not count the casualties, it is still the monkey that has the upper hand, after all, there is only a thief on a dry day, and there is no reason to prevent thieves on a dry day.

Moreover, the prince also said that if the beacon fire ignites by mistake again, the officers and soldiers of the whole checkpoint will lose their heads.

When the leader just gives orders, he moves his mouth to say that this can't work, that must be, and the people below can't do it, as long as the result is up.

So how do you do it?

The guard general was also forced to be anxious and made a decision that would delay his descendants————

Cover the beacon!

The specific method is to find a customs clearance merchant to get a large piece of tarpaulin sewn together, cover it on the beacon stove of the beacon tower, and then brush a layer of plaster, and then sprinkle a thick layer of sand.

Of course, they had done the test on the flat ground, and the guard himself threw a few torches at them.

Very good, non-combustible.

There is plenty of time for them to put out the torches calmly.

The most important thing is to save money, a hundred times more than opening an enchantment.

Of course, this is not possible according to the rules, but at the moment of the threat of killing heads, who can control the usual rules?

This is called a threat at the top, and a countermeasure at the bottom.

Anyway, you have to get through the above level first.

So the canvas lid was covered on the beacon tower.

The palace envoy sent by the palace to oversee them suddenly came and was furious when he saw them doing this: "How can this be done, withdraw!"

The guards stayed with him for half the night.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the monkeys came in pairs and set fires.

The burning twigs were thrown onto the sand cover, extinguished, and could not be lit.

The monkeys squeaked in anger, and the officers and soldiers below laughed, and finally took revenge.

"If it's an enemy from outside the border, it's too late for us to close the lid again." The guard begged the palace envoy, "Otherwise, if we remove this lid now, the beacon fire will start again, and our lives will not be guaranteed."

The palace envoy nodded again and again, "You have a point. I removed the cover. 「

"Father-in-law!"

"The king has ordered our family to supervise the beacon, and we must make sure that everything is in order here!" The palace envoy snorted, "Is it normal for you to have this lid blocked on the beacon stove?" Let's let you now

After passing the test, we will turn back to the king's blame, and we will not be able to get rid of it. Okay, don't talk nonsense, quickly withdraw. 「

The guard general said that he couldn't, so he could only order someone to remove the sand cover, and scolded the dead eunuch a hundred times in his heart.

No one noticed that someone on the mountain peak was hiding in the night, taking in all of this, and then handed a large handful of dates to the rushing monkeys.

The dates are big and sweet, and the monkeys eat them with a smile.

This person is Lao Yu, a temporary new member of He Lingchuan's team, he compared, and said "hmm" in his mouth, and he could actually follow the monkey.

Even if the guards heard it, they only thought it was a monkey calling.

Two more days.

The Dragon's Throat Gang was peaceful, and the monkey was frustrated and didn't seem to come. So the palace envoy oversaw the end and hurriedly replied.

As soon as he left, the Dragon's Throat Guard breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said to his hand, "Cover the beacon stove!"

"Your Excellency?" Didn't the palace envoy let it?

"He can return to the palace after his mission, and we have to guard it again. If something happens again, it has nothing to do with him, but we have to lose our heads. The guard sneered, "If it were you, what would you choose?"

So everyone worked together to cover the beacon stove, everyone knew that the day after tomorrow was the enthronement ceremony of the new king, and no more accidents could occur at this critical moment.

......

The south gate of Panlong City.

A large crowd of people is gathering, and countless torches reflect the place as if it were daylight.

Zhong Shengguang stood up, drew his sword to the sky, and began an enthusiastic speech.

There is no doubt that Zhong Shengguang is far more appealing and infectious than General Nan Ke.

His mobilization was interrupted several times by cheers from the audience.

The audience was frenzied. Everyone listened below, and they all felt their blood boiling, and they were eager to rush out and kill 800 enemies.

"The rain is coming!"

The sky was pouring with a light rain.

This hand, Sun Huping also showed when he mobilized the soldiers of Blackwater City to go to the desert, but the rain was not so wide.

Each of the more than 30,000 Panlong City troops who went out this time was enlightened by spiritual rain, and they felt lighter, stronger, breathing more freely, and their fighting spirit was also higher.

This is the Red General's use of the Yuan Force of Panlong City, so that the rain and dew of the soldiers are evenly wet.

"Half a month later, you will eat a whole sheep feast and drink Fengquan wine in the capital of Xiqi Kingdom to celebrate our great victory!" Zhong Shengguang's voice resounded throughout the audience, "Now, let's go!"

Fengquan wine is a specialty of Xiqi, and the price of selling it to Panlong City is not low, and not everyone can afford to consume it.

With a shout, all the soldiers turned around collectively and went out of the city gate.

Onlookers cheered and threw flowers to the soldiers.
