Chang Yutong nodded, and then ordered the captain of the guard to set up a tent and erect a lookout car in a high place with a wide view. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Qing led Teng Chuliang and Wang Shu and took the lead in boarding a lookout car.

It was the first time for Bei Sanqi to go to the island, and he asked Qiu Yulong curiously in private: "I don't know what the Lord of Qi wants us to see in this arrangement?"

Qiu Yulong didn't answer directly, only said: "Don't be an old-timer, you'll naturally know in a while!"

Don't Sanqi said strangely in his heart: The stinky boy still sells Guanzi, what kind of mystery is he doing?

Wang Xu's eyes were cold, silent, and looked at the beach.

Qin Yujiu and the others and the female Taoist sisters of the Taishan faction boarded another lookout car.

Zhang Changbei, Yuan Bin, Sarcoma Dahan and "Suo Soul" just found a quiet place, some closed their eyes, and some sat cross-legged, seemingly having no interest in what happened next. I don't know when, but the three brothers disappeared.

Hong Qili had the sharpest eye, and he immediately spotted the traces of the three men, who were crawling over the gravel pile leading to the shore of the island, and after a while, the three of them went separately again, and climbed up the gray and red protruding rocks with bows and arrows, and the latte rakes hid among the clumps of black and green seagrass, and the harpoon came to the golden sand.

While everyone was still wondering, they suddenly heard cascading howls in the distance.

It was a dog, and everyone immediately realized that it was the barking of a dog, but it was accompanied by a screaming sound that came and went, which was impossible to ignore. Sure enough, I saw a group of bloodied people rushing into the clearing, followed by a large group of dogs. One by one, they bared their canine teeth, their tongues sticking out, and their saliva splashed everywhere, and they looked extremely excited.

"Ah...... Ahhhh......h Ahhhhhhhh

Such scenes are not uncommon during the hunting season in England, with hounds roaring and rushing into the woodlands to herd their prey into open areas for people to hunt. But now, it is people who are driven and hunted.

Those who ran ahead were sometimes pounced, and the ferocious dogs bit open their stomachs and burst out hot intestines, some had their cheeks torn open to reveal blood-red bones and hollow eye sockets, and some had their necks bitten unevenly and blood gushing out.

Many of them were very weak from their injuries, but they ran desperately to the beach, and the sea was right in front of them, hoping to rush into the sea to avoid the mad dogs.

But they didn't know that there were three hunters eyeing them.

The one who occupied the high ground in the gravel pile attacked first, and the arrows he shot in his hand shot down several people one after another; some of them were wounded and fell in the seagrass and pretended to be dead, but the dogs did not pounce on them, and just when he thought he had escaped, suddenly someone pierced down with a huge iron rake, pierced his chest, and did not even know how he died; several people who rushed into the sand screamed again and again, and it turned out that the golden sand had already buried animal traps, and those who fell were immediately pounced on by the vicious dogs that caught up. A few of the best ones rushed into the sea, but they were dealt with by the man who was in the water, and the man with the harpoon in his hand.

The air was mixed with sea salt and blood, diffusing and diffusing.

The entire beach turned into a large patch of dizzying blood red.

But that's not the scariest thing. On the road, in the haystacks, in the shallows, there were still fragmented bodies crawling and sliding. They were human beings, but they looked blurry with flesh and blood, and only a rough outline could tell that they were human.

Chris gasped in horror, she couldn't put into words what she was seeing today.

Everyone on the tower was stunned.

One more look, Chris's stomach was churning. Even when you close your eyes, you will recall the sharp claws of the hound and the screams that echo in your ears. After a while, Chris perked up a little, and she noticed that Zi Ling was also frightened by this tragic situation, and her face turned pale, "It's terrible!" her voice was hoarse, and tears rolled down her face. Chris hurriedly pulled her behind him, blocking her view.

Although Qin Yujiu had heard about the incident on Shamen Island, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes today. He turned his head to look at Hong Qili, who was cold, and said in his heart: This Li Qing is really guilty of many injustices and will kill himself, maybe this trip is right, he can watch how God executes God's punishment.

Everyone in their lookout car fell silent.

On the other side, Li Qing slowly opened his mouth, "Everyone, are you satisfied?"

Bei Sanqi exclaimed: "Who are these people?"

Chang Yutong explained: "These people are all prisoners, either disabled people in prison or new arrivals, and they all think that if they hide in prison and don't come out, they will be safe. The three heroes of Montenegro will easily catch a lot of wooden brands here every year!"

Dozens of ox carts pulled several huge wooden cages appeared on the grass, a fat dog man jumped off the ox cart, took out a huge snail flute from his arms, and blew a low sound, the dogs on the beach and the grass stopped their movements at the same time, and ran back to the ox cart one by one, the dogs opened the cage early, and the dogs gathered together at the same time to feed, and then the dogs obediently got on the ox cart one by one. These are not mad dogs at all, but vicious dogs that are trained and specialize in biting.

The three brothers also came out of their respective hiding places, looked at the wreckage on the ground, and began to skillfully collect the wooden signs on the deceased's body.

The seagulls circled over their heads, and their cries were so sharp and long, terrifying, that they were clearly singing lamentations for the dead.

The three brothers were not moved at all, and after a while, they came together, still with such a smile on their faces, counting the blood-stained signs in their hands, and looking like they had just worked in the farmland, and could not hide the joy of hard harvest. However, the people on the tower felt that the smiles on their faces were indescribably weird.

Bei Sanqi laughed twice, and pretended to be relaxed: "The old man has just arrived, and he doesn't know the doorway, so he knew that he could collect some wooden signs, so it is better to go down and play." ”

Li Qing laughed when he heard this.

Chang Yutong saw that Wang Xu's face was pale, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, these people are all waste, they can't work on weekdays, and they take up a lot of rations in vain. ”

Unexpectedly, after Wang Shu heard this, he didn't care at all, yawned and said: "What is so good-looking? It depends on the flesh and blood, which time is the battle formation of the master in the northwest not as wonderful as this? Xiao Hei, in the next few days, don't you arrange for the master to watch this?"

He said this in a cold sweat, the drama on the island is not to kill prisoners, kill and kill, what other tricks can be killed?

Li Qing didn't say anything at this time, lowered his eyes, thinking about something.

Wang Shu flicked his sleeves, walked off the lookout car with his hands behind his back, greeted the little guy, and took a towel to wipe his hands.

Teng Chuliang was already in no mood for this massacre, he also walked down, as soon as he entered the tent, he walked to the central table, and after sitting down, a close subordinate immediately brought him tea, he picked up the cup, drank it slowly, and did not speak.

Only Li Qing and Chang Yutong were left in the lookout car.

Chang Yutong pursed his lips, shook his head, and said, "This Lord Wang, it's really hard to serve! This can't work, that can't work." ”

Li Qing didn't have a trace of a smile on his face at this time, he said coldly: "These children of the family have always been like this, and if I beg him now, naturally I can't offend him." ”

"Then what to arrange below, the villain has no idea. ”

Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't Master Sun say that he has a familiar troupe? You go and arrange to take them to the island as soon as possible!"

Chang Yutong nodded and said, "The villain also heard that these noble scholars and doctors like to listen to dramas the most!"

"When the time comes, you should be clever and make him happy. ”

"The villain understands!"

☆☆☆

The evening was held in the Long Hall, where the victors of the Isles of Deer enjoyed barbecued meat, freshly caught fish from Blackwater Bay, and of course, fine wine. Li Qing sat in the center of the high platform and entertained the guests.

Qin Yujiu and the female Taoist priests did not attend the dinner, one party's excuse was to make incense, and the other party's excuse was vegetarianism.

Li Qing didn't care, the VIP on the high platform had Teng Chuliang, it was enough.

At this time, Chang Yutong was leading him to visit the Black Stone Castle. Before entering, Wang Shu left most of his subordinates outside, and only brought a few personal guards, only to see that they were all tall and well-proportioned, handsome, wearing cyan light clothes, fur trim, and gold flame cloaks, and they all walked with great dignity.

Seeing Chang Yutong squinting at the people he brought, Wang Shu smiled and said, "Xiao Hei, what do you have to say?"

"How dare you! My lord is the dragon and phoenix among people, and even the guards around him are so good. Chang Yutong stretched out his thumb and admired, and said, "I look at their armor, it's very extraordinary." These must be the elites of the forbidden army, and they can be called 'human'. ”

"Human appearance" is the ban on military regulations set by Song Taizu, and every year when recruiting recruits, they must be selected according to such appearance and figure.

Wang Shu nodded a little proudly: "You have a powerful mouth, but I didn't expect your eyesight to be poisonous enough." A few of them are the forbidden army guards given to this official by His Majesty Renzong, and the ones they are wearing are the 'blue-faced beast armor'. ”

Chang Yutong suddenly saw that there was a green-bearded old man beside Wang Xu, with a thin appearance and the wind of fairy wind and bones, not like a person in the officialdom. He stared intently at the old man and asked, "Who is this?"

Wang Xuan smiled and said: "This is the official's staff, although he has not been following the official for a long time, he can always help me with advice and let me take precautions." The old man arched his hand at Chang Yutong and did not speak.

They came to the junction of the three towers, where there was a descending staircase to the lower floor. Not as majestic as the upper floor of the stone tower, the stairs here are steep and narrow, and Chang Yutong walks in front with a lantern for fear of lack of light, Wang Shu follows behind him, then the guards, and the old man with the green beard walks last.

The lower levels were silent, with the only sound being their feet on the stone steps.

Suddenly, the sound of neat footsteps staggered a few beats.

The green-bearded old man paused, turned around to check, but found no movement. At this time, Wang Xu and the others had already walked down the ladder. Listening to Chang Yutong again, he turned around and followed.

Chang Yutong said with a smile: "My lord, in fact, this year's island capture conference is very different from usual. ”

"What's the difference?"

"The biggest difference is that the people who came this year are not ordinary. Chang Yutong continued, "This year, it is the first time for the Mobei duo to go to the island, and the choice is still Turtle Island. ”

"Turtle Island, but the small island that produces the tribute inkstone?"

"Exactly, the 'Venus Snow Wave Inkstone' that the Lord gave to the adults last time came from a cave on Turtle Island. ”

"The Yanji inkstone, with Venus on its body, is like a snow wave, it is a tribute, and it is hard to find a thousand gold, if it is not for your lord, how can this official use it?"

"In fact, Mi Ying, the 'iron brand' of Turtle Island, has not been locked up in prison for nine years, and the owner of the Turtle Island has authorized him to stay on Turtle Island and be responsible for mining stone inkstones. Hehe, in previous years, there were also many martial arts people who had the idea of fighting the Turtle Island Gongyan, but they were often beaten and fled. However, this year, Turtle Island was killed by the Mobei Shuangxiong, and a total of 190 people with iron and wooden brands were killed cleanly, leaving no one behind. The Shangguan brother is not the master of Xiwen ink, so he didn't take away a finished inkstone at all. Tsk, I think that Miying must have underestimated the enemy, and I heard the person who cleaned up the corpse say, I don't want to look at death! But now no one dares to underestimate the Shangguan brother. ”

Wang Xue said: "What else?"

Changyu Tongxin said: In fact, the biggest difference is that you have gone to the island. Although he thought so, he didn't say so, and said: "If you want to think that these things about seizing the island are boring, the lord has invited you to play a troupe, and you can go to the island tomorrow!"

"Troupe, where did you come from?"

"I heard that it was recommended by Tianfu's drama troupe and the deputy inspector. ”

"Oh?" The doubts on Wang Xu's face flashed, and he snorted and said with a smile: "Okay, you Master Li Yan is thoughtful in arranging and knows how to relieve the boredom of this official!"

Walking down the torch-lit slope, there are three giant arches in front of you, presumably echoing the triplets on the upper floor. The upper hall is covered with colorful brick walls, lit by candlelight and torches, and lit up all night, but it is dark and deserted. On the way, we passed through cisterns, armories, and punishment chambers, which were filled with tools for whipping, skinning, and branding prisoners, as if the long trumpets of fear and pain still sounded from time to time in the empty corridors. Eventually, they stopped in front of a double-open gate, with two guards on either side.

When they saw the vice-lord, they immediately gave respectful salutes. Then one of them took an iron key, and with a creak, the door was pushed open, and a bitter sea breeze blew in front of him.

The heavy door closed behind him, and Wang Shu stepped into the cold darkness, only the lantern in Chang Yutong's hand illuminated his feet.

This is the "gallows" that tortures the will of the prisoners the most, and no one can go out of here, so it is not surprising that they all choose to jump into the sea. Wang Shu walked to the edge of the platform, and below him was the abyss of roaring waves.

"I heard that Li Qing killed more than 700 people in his first office, he is bold, one is not afraid of the court to investigate him, and the other is not afraid of this unjust soul to collect debts, this official is very similar to asking him for advice on the method of sleeping. ”

"Big ...... My lord, this ......" Chang Yutong was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Wang Xuzhi replied with a cold and long glare, "The patterns here match each other, I'm curious about what the same position on the back of the mountain will look like?"

"I'm afraid it won't work!"

"How?"

Chang Yutong changed his words and said: "At this time, the night is thick, and I can't see anything clearly, so it's better to ...... later."

Wang Xuan wanted to say something, but the old man with the green beard stood up and said, "Didn't the lord just say that you want to check the prisoner's entry list first?"

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "Xiao Hei, call the garrison in the fort for the lord and move the roster out of the clerical room!"

Chang Yutong said with a smile: "Please move to the hall above, the villain has already asked someone to move!"

When they returned to the upper level, passing the staircase at the junction again, another shadow flashed.

The old man had been following at the end of the group, and when he came down, he noticed that someone had followed them into the Blackstone Tower. This time, his figure flashed, and he immediately chased out, and soon disappeared.

Almost all the members of the fort were summoned to the halls, leaving only those standing guard and night watchman. They usually work in pairs, patrolling the brick walls of Blackstone Fort. Everyone was dealing with this Lord Wang, and his every whim request overwhelmed everyone, and where could they notice that there were a few fewer guards around him.

☆☆☆

The armory, only a lamp was lit at the door, and the light inside was unusually dim. If you don't look closely, you can't find that there are two figures behind the rows of spears.

"Tonight, it's a bit evil!" one person sent a secret message to the other person, "Who is the old thing next to the official, who actually noticed that Xiao Chen was following them?"

Seeing that his companion didn't reply for a long time, he said again: "Xiao Chen restrained his breath, I don't see anything wrong, why was it suddenly discovered, I don't believe that old thing can hear it." ”

The other person sighed in his heart: Alas! If they all say that they are concerned, they will be confused! When the other party wants to pass the word again, he hurriedly says: "Can you concentrate on it! We have come full circle, how can we not find anyone?" ”

He replied angrily, "That iron sign that I caught during the day said that they were going to meet here tonight, so they won't lie to us, right?"

"I don't think so, that kid is telling the truth. The other snorted.

"So, I said tonight is a bit evil!" He was about to continue talking, but found that the person in front of him was gone, he concentrated his eyes, improved his eyesight, and saw things clearly in the vast night, and he quickly found a companion who used the "Sundial Shadow Walk" to get rid of him.

When he chased after him, he found the other party squatting on the ground.

"What?" asked him as he crouched down, the urn.

"As soon as I passed by, I felt there was something wrong. You listen ......," said the other man, tapping on the ground with his slender fingers.

Really...... It wasn't a deep echo from below.

"There's a compartment!"

The other replied, touching the floor, "Well, the entrance should be around here!"

Soon he found a clue, and not far away, a stone protruded slightly, and there were some unusual abrasion marks around it. He stretched out his hand and pressed down, and sure enough, the slate loosened, and he pressed it harder, and the slate on the ground sank silently, revealing a gap, faintly revealing light.

The gap was not very wide, and only about one adult man could pass through.

The two looked at each other, and one jumped down first.

The other man then jumped down, and in an instant, the light reflected the bright hibiscus flowers on his back!

Soon, the slate was restored to its original state.
