Chapter 183: Entering the City

Night falls.

The moat of Tiannanfu Castle flowed as it did in the past.

Several soldiers defending the city were stationed at their posts.

A soldier yawned and grunted as he stared at the boats passing by the river.

"Inverted frieze, those old men above don't know what crazy they smoke, nothing is wrong, but they suddenly asked to strengthen the supervision of the river, and they don't let people be idle in the middle of the night......

Another soldier reminded, "You don't know how to restrain your mouth, I heard that there is also a monitoring team set up above to patrol the river, if they catch it, you will be happy."

"Got it, got it." The soldier plucked out his ears and said helplessly.

The castle of Tennan is very different from the castle of other places in Otsuki.

Because it has undergone the transformation of a group of uninvited guests, the huge moat is intertwined in the city.

In times of war, it is the strongest gate of the city.

In normal times, this dense river network is also the hub of the inner and outer parts of the city.

If you are not careful, you may pass through this river and enter the city.

Therefore, the daily entry and exit of ships in and out of the city must be registered and reviewed.

It's just that it used to mean the meaning, and it didn't matter, and you could be lazy or something.

Today, however, we have suddenly increased our manpower and intensified our scrutiny.

Just when a few soldiers were bored, a small cargo boat approached slowly in the distance.

"Stop, who's who?" Several soldiers immediately cheered up, winked at each other, and looked at the approaching ship.

He was called to guard the city in the middle of the night, and there was no overtime pay.

They have to do themselves some good.

The so-called goose plucked its feathers, and the drought in the south was so bitter this day.

Relying only on the little money of the guards guarding the city, life can't go on.

"What's on board?" A soldier's gaze wandered away from the cargo ship, as if calculating the value of the ship's cargo, and asked the ship's owner with a cold face.

"A few masters, I am from the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce in the city, and the boat is carrying a little tea brick from the south," the owner of the ship nodded, and handed over the identity credentials with a small bag with a sneer. "A little heart, bring some tea to a few masters."

A soldier took the bag, weighed the weight, and nodded to the few people around him, "Since it is from the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce, then there is no need to check, the Bai family master is a well-known honest businessman in the city, leave a tea brick for my brother, just go over."

"It's just a tea brick, it's simple, please wait for a few masters."

The owner of the ship hurriedly ordered someone to take out a tea brick, which finally filled the mouths of several soldiers.

"Alright, you can go in." A soldier said.

It's just that the cargo ship has just gone away, and a soldier suddenly looks at the place where the hull meets the water, and says, "It's strange, is this ship really a tea brick?" I feel like the draft is a bit of a problem."

"Having a problem with the draft?" The soldier who took the bag and was opening it to count the money raised his head, glanced at the distant shadow of the cargo ship, and then said, "Don't worry about this, there is a king in the city, and if you can't turn the sky, divide the money first, and save a lot of nights and dreams!" If the monitoring team comes, it won't be good to be seen, tsk, this money is enough for a few of our brothers to go to Chunxiang Building for a happy night."

…………

The cargo ship slowly sailed into the city.

I drove a long way through the waterway.

Eventually, they docked at a pier.

There were already people waiting on the docks.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in black and looking extraordinarily gloomy.

"Everything delivered? Not going well on the road? Why is it so late?" The man asked.

The owner of the ship stepped down from the ship, and while directing the workers to unload the cargo, he replied in a low voice, "It's all delivered, and there is nothing wrong, but the bottom of the ship seems to be entangled in water and grass, so it's late."

The middle-aged man was led to a wooden box with straw and tea bricks.

The owner of the ship lifted it

The camouflage was opened, revealing things wrapped in oiled paper and sealed in jars below.

A pile of black powder, if you smell it closely, you can smell a surging smell of sulfur.

The middle-aged man picked up a little powder with his tail fingernails, brought it to the tip of his nose, sniffed it carefully, and then nodded, "The goods are fine, put these things away first, this is our confidence to deal with that Wang Dashuai."

The middle-aged man sneered, "After this, there are still a few boats, enough to make up a thousand catties, I don't believe that Wang Dashuai is really the reincarnation of a god, this can't be blown up!"

The shipowner's face also showed a look of fanaticism.

Dongdong –

Thorn -

There was a sound of something hitting and rubbing against each other from the river.

"What's the sound?" The middle-aged man asked with a frown.

The owner searched for the source of the sound and finally looked at the bottom of the cargo ship.

"I just sent a few people to clean up the aquatic weeds at the bottom of the boat, why haven't they come up for so long?" The ship's owner was also puzzled, "It's going to take so long for this little thing?"

At this moment, a burst of red rose from the bottom of the river and slowly faded in the river.

It is a blooming flower.

The faces of the two changed at the same time.

"It's blood!" Middle-aged men make judgments.

"How so? It's just a matter of clearing up the weeds," the owner of the boat took a few steps forward, trying to see what was going on, but he didn't dare to rush forward, and immediately pointed to the two workers.

"You two, come over and see what's going on?"

"Palm, shopkeeper... The two workers were also uneasy when they saw the blood, and hesitated to step forward.

"Find out what's going on, bounty of one hundred copper plates." The owner of the ship said.

"A hundred copper plates?!" The two workers were pleasantly surprised.

In today's world, 300 copper plates can buy a life.

Just by looking at it twice, there will be a hundred copper plates to earn, which is a sure profit.

It's just that the situation in this river is really scary.

But for the sake of a hundred copper plates, the two of them kicked in their hearts, gritted their teeth and stepped forward to check the situation.

But I saw blood gushing out of the river from time to time.

"Old water ghost, is that you?" Little by little, the two men approached, cowering and shouting, and then came to the bank of the river.

But the river water is already turbid, and it is mixed with blood and water, which makes it even more difficult to see.

Grunt......

Suddenly, a bubble rose from the bottom of the river.

It was as if the whole river was boiling.

The two workers felt bad and wanted to evacuate in panic.

Whoop -

The sound of breaking water.

Several hideous claws suddenly stretched out.

Grabbing the two by the neck, they dragged them into the water.

Grunt.

There were two thrashes under the water.

More blood flowed out, staining the river red.

Accompanied by the frightened cries of the workers around them.

A vicious hand grabbed the bank of the river.

Immediately after, strange people with iron-blue skin, covered in tooth marks, and gnawing marks emerged from the bottom of the river.

The dark green eyes are like light bulbs.

Look at everyone with a greedy and hungry look.

Roar –

Screaming and rushing at the crowd.
