Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 142 Hidden Killing

"Fuck, isn't that a merchant ship?" Pan Houzi jumped onto the wall and looked over.

When Tian Shi yelled, five people crowded up and occupied the top of the tower.

"The merchant ships are always walking close to the coast, how could they come from that direction." Boss Wu narrowed his eyes and said, "And the shape of the ships doesn't look like Qiguo's merchant ships, they don't run so fast."

"Boss, that boat seems to be heading towards Jinxia City!"

"It can't be a sea bandit." Someone muttered.

Tian Shi felt inexplicably nervous.

He had been a soldier for a long time, but he had never fought a real enemy, and he joined the army just for the reward.

Boss Wu spat on his palm, "If it's really pirates, then there will be fun. Everyone, this is a good opportunity to earn merit!"

"No, boss, you will die if you get stabbed."

"Damn it, if you turn around and close the city gate, will they still be able to attack the city? At most, there will be a scene outside the city." He said disapprovingly, "As long as we can notify the brothers in the city in time You guys, I can’t get away with this credit!” Boss Wu slapped Tian Shi fiercely, “Well done, Shi Shi, if it wasn’t for your fuss, I’m sure they’d be able to land directly. Reward for meritorious deeds, you might be able to directly become a corporal leader!"

Hearing what the other party said, Tian Shi immediately felt relieved.

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

"Decree!" Pan Houzi patted his buttocks and was about to run down the tower.

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

"Understood."

"So what do we do?" the others asked.

"What's the rush, of course we need to continue to monitor. This ship can't come to land. After they land and confirm that they are pirates, it won't be too late for us to retreat back to the city."

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

"Only the four of us? Can you notify me?" Boss Wu gave the questioner a sideways look, "That's a matter for the government, so let's not worry about it."

"Speaking of which, there are quite a few pirate ships..." Tian Shi couldn't help frowning as he looked at the gray shadow on the sea sky. He roughly counted and found that the number of ships in his field of vision had increased from the initial two or three to more than ten.

A thousand taels of silver is always needed on a ship, right? They are so rich, why are they still robbing Jinxia City? Isn't it good to loot merchant ships along the way?

"Heh, you don't understand. The reason why Kou is Kou is because there is a mix of snakes and rats inside, and there are all kinds of goods." Boss Wu disdainfully said, "Looking at the huge momentum, if the wind is not right, why don't you immediately go to the police station?" Scatter? If you don’t believe me, you’ll have a look later, I promise they won’t dare to approach the city wall.”

"Boss is very knowledgeable!"

"Let's not talk about the city wall, I guess they won't come close to this sentry tower."

Tian Shi suddenly remembered what the strange man said——

"However, since the hexagram board points here, it means that you are on the cusp of the storm. Why don't you listen to me and find a place to avoid it first, so as not to be involved?"

Will this beachhead...will become the cusp of the storm?

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

But let's say he was playing tricks, if he hadn't made such a noise, how could he have discovered the strangeness in the sea so quickly?

Just then, a gust of wind blew up at sea.

The sea breeze with a salty smell passed over the long beach, and the dust rolled up made everyone close their eyes.

The sky suddenly darkened a lot.

"Hey, Boss..." Suddenly someone murmured, "Are you sure that is really a pirate ship..."

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

Then he felt as if all the blood in his body was congealed.

Amidst the gray shadows, a completely different sea ship appeared—it was several times larger than those pointed ships beside it, and the sails above its head were densely covered with clouds, and it looked like a moving ship from a distance. island.

Everyone was stunned.

Some of them often live by the sea, and they have seen many large two-masted ships, but none of the ships in the past can compare with this one.

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

Gradually, Tian Shi saw something different.

The ship's side is extremely high, like a building, and the distribution of layers is particularly obvious. On the side of the ship's side, there were densely packed small holes—although he didn't know why the ship was made like this, but one thing was certain, such a steep ship's side was definitely not suitable for loading and transporting people.

Boss Wu gasped even more.

"Oh my God... Bodhisattva bless..." He muttered something in a low voice, then raised his voice suddenly, "Feng Huo, light the Beacon Fire! Don't just stand there, let me move!"

"Boss, are you serious?"

Beacon together, the meaning of this matter is completely different.

That means that the surrounding beacon towers will also be lit one after another, until the nearest army stationed responds.

"Don't worry about the consequences, let's light the beacon fire first!" Boss Wu roared, "If these people have malicious intentions, the guards of Jinxia City will definitely not be able to handle it!"

...

Twelve miles outside Jinxia City, Lugang Beacon Tower.

Wen Xingyuan put on the metal mask, adjusted his fifth-rank alchemist robe, and walked slowly towards the tower.

"Stop! Who?"

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

"The Privy Council is investigating evil spirits, and I have something to ask you all." Wen Xingyuan replied coldly.

"Ah... so it's Lord Alchemist, please forgive me for being rude." Soon the wooden door was opened, and the garrison chief took the lead to lead him in, "I wonder if you can—"

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

The other party no longer had any doubts, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It turns out that you are an adult, I don't know what you want to ask?"

"Did you...did you notice anything unusual just now?"

"Strange?" The corporal looked at his subordinates suspiciously, "Return to my lord, everything is normal here at the humble position."

"Well, very good." Wen Xingyuan stretched his hands into his sleeves, "Take me to the top of the tower to have a look."

Although this request is a bit strange, there is nothing unreasonable about it - a small sentry tower is a forbidden area for the common people, but for the fifth-rank alchemists of the Privy Council, there is nothing that cannot be seen.

"Then please come with me." The corporal turned around and led the way.

He took out the talisman and medicine guide that he had prepared earlier from the cuff pocket.

"Gun surgery is ugly, top corner." Wen Xingyuan recited silently.

In an instant, four or five ground thorns sprang out from the ground at the bottom of the tower, and the guards staying below had no time to react, and were pierced through by these sharp "stalagmites".

There were screams all of a sudden!

"This is... my lord..." The corporal turned around and was momentarily stunned by the bloody scene.

And what answered him was a short dagger.
