After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 433 Again and again, again and again
"The Beacon Tower must be strictly guarded!" After much deliberation, he asked a magician to install a barrier.

Longhougang itself is protected by a talisman array, which is usually not opened.There are several magicians stationed in the army, isn't it easy to do this job?

But he spent money to add a barrier to the Beacon Tower, and he was too late to report it—it was not approved so quickly, and he had to wait at least ten and a half months—so he had to pay for it out of his own pocket.

The next night was peaceful.

Every minute that this enchantment is opened consumes energy.No matter how refined the defensive barrier created by the magician is, at least half of the mysterious crystals will be used up for ten hours every day.

Two days is a whole block!

He was sent to guard the gate at Longhougang in the mountains. He had no money and no connections. Who didn't know that the task of guarding the gate was heavy and the salary was low?After doing this for two days, he couldn't do it anymore.

He also asked Shangfeng for help, but his immediate superior scolded him.Xuan Jing is such a precious strategic material, do you want to use it to deal with invisible threats?

The most important thing is that there is no end to this defense. Do you want to guard against it for a day or two, ten days and a half month, or a year or two?

Tens of thousands of dollars are spent without a sound of water. If the boss dares to approve it, the boss's boss may think that he is pocketing his own money.

So the enchantment will soon be unable to hold on.

On the third night, the beacon tower 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 at Longji Pass was also rising quickly. The guard's eyes went dark, and he couldn't help but shouted to the sky:

Brother on the high platform over there, can't you wait?
But this time the soldiers guarding the Beacon Tower finally caught the real culprit:

Wild monkeys on the mountain.

These monkeys will steal torches from the camp, or use branches to light the camp, and then throw them into the beacon tower.

The guard was very annoyed: "It's unreasonable, how can the monkey light the beacon for no reason?"

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

Only in the middle of the night did his confidant quietly tell the guard that there were many wild monkeys in the mountains, who had come to steal the soldiers' dry food a few days ago, and the latter burned several of them to death, and the meat was shared among them.Maybe it was because the monkeys held a grudge, so they did this.

Is this okay?The guard immediately sent people up the mountain to catch the monkey.

But the mountain is the home of the monkeys, how can the soldiers be flexible here?After a lot of effort, I only caught three or four.As a result, the monkey group became even more angry, and threw stones directly at the checkpoint and the camp, and the guards were accidentally smashed with blood all over their faces.

The worst thing was that there was another night of false alarm in the capital, and the prince was so angry that he changed the guard without saying a word.

……

On the same night, Panlong City.

Just as the thin man was about to leave home, suddenly there was a burst of gongs outside, and someone shouted, "Jie-kou-xuan-speak!"

Panlong City's large-scale pre-war mobilization lectures finally started.

Crowds gathered one after another, listening to the man on the street explaining the content of the announcement with a broken voice.

First of all, the heroic and upright King Xiluo has issued a relocation order, and the people of the Panlong Wasteland will immediately return to their homeland.

Secondly, the Jinxi Corridor is controlled by the Baling people, and the terrain is difficult and difficult, which is not conducive to the passage of the people.Panlong City decided to set up another Nantongguan-Hebi-Changhe route to return to Xiluo.

Once again, Panlong City declared war on the Xiyu Kingdom:

It is unbearable for Xilong to harass our border defense, kill our people, and intercept our commercial goods.

Those who block my way back to the country today, die!
When the preacher recited the proclamation for the first time, there was an uproar.

Through the door, the skinny man could hear the sound of running, exclamation, and doors opening from the neighbors.

"We're going to fight Xi'an! We're going to fight Xi'an!" Countless people cheered.

The sound waves are noisy, one wave is higher than the other.

In his impression, no preaching on the street has caused such a big response.

When the preacher recited it for the sixth time, there were already crowds outside the door, and more and more residents followed him to recite, and finally turned into a bold statement that rushed into the sky:

"Whoever blocks my way back to the country, die!"

So, the crowd is passionate.

The skinny man stood at the door looking at the crowd, and his little nephew clenched his fists beside him, and shouted in the same childish voice: "Those who block my way back to the country, die!"

The thin man was funny, and he smacked his forehead: "Life and death, do you know a P?"

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

The thin man took a deep breath:

"Yeah! We're going to beat the scorpion and step on it to make a way home!"

Like all cheerers, he was full of desire and heroism.

Just as the Broken Knife team expected, there is no need to mobilize for war, nor to boost morale. As long as there is an announcement, the agitation and belligerence of the soldiers and civilians in the city will naturally reach its peak.

If someone looks at Panlong City from a distance at this moment, they will find a huge dragon-shaped phantom looming above the city, which looks like light and shadow or flowing clouds, but it is actually a concrete representation of both luck and vitality.

The name of "Panlong" is true.

……

The life and death of the predecessor is uncertain, and the newly appointed Dragon Throat Gatekeeper is trembling. He first went to see the beacon tower, then the monkey hiding on the mountain peak and making faces at himself, and decided to poison him.

They hid the poison in the food and threw it to the monkeys, and sure enough the poison killed more than a dozen monkeys.

However, the rest of the monkeys were even angrier. Even the monkeys from other hilltops came over, condescendingly threw stones at them, made noises in the dead of night to disturb the sleep of officers and soldiers, and even repeated their old tricks, repeatedly trying to enter the beacon tower. Throw burning twigs.

Fortunately, the sentries took strict precautions, which prevented the monkey from succeeding again.

But in this way, everyone's spirits are tense, they can't sleep well at night, and they don't have energy during the day.If casualties are not counted in this battle between humans and monkeys, the monkeys still have the upper hand. After all, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason for a thousand days to defend against a thief.

And Chu Jun also said that if the beacon fire is ignited by mistake again, the officers and soldiers of the whole checkpoint will lose their heads.

Leaders just give orders and talk about this and that, and the people below have to do it even if they can’t do it, and the top only wants results.

How to do it?

The guard was also driven into a hurry, and made a decision that would cause trouble for his descendants——

Cover the Beacon Tower!

The specific method is to find large pieces of tarpaulins from customs clearance merchants and sew them together, cover them on the beacon stove of the beacon tower, then apply a layer of plaster, and then sprinkle a thick layer of sand.

Of course, they did experiments on flat ground, and the guard personally threw a few torches on it.

Very good, non-combustible.

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

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

According to the rules, this is of course not acceptable, but with the threat of beheading, who can still control the usual rules?
This is called a threat at the top and a countermeasure at the bottom.

Anyway, we have to go through the above level first.

So the big canvas cover was put on the beacon tower like this.

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

The guard asked him to stay and watch for half the night.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the monkeys came to set fire in groups.

The burning twigs were thrown on the sand cover, extinguished, and would not light.

The monkeys were so angry that they screamed and screamed, and the officers and soldiers below laughed, and finally vented their anger and revenge.

"If the enemy comes from outside the pass, we will have time to close the cover again." The guard begged the palace envoy, "Otherwise, if we remove the cover now, the war will start again, and our lives will be lost."

The palace envoy nodded again and again: "You are very reasonable. Remove the cover."

"Father-in-law!"

"Your Majesty ordered our family to supervise the Beacon Tower, and we must make sure everything is normal here!" The palace envoy snorted, "Your cover is on the Beacon Stove, dare you say it is normal? We will let you pass now, We will not be able to get rid of the responsibility if the king reprimands you later. Alright, stop talking nonsense and withdraw quickly."

The guard had no choice but to order people to remove the Sha Gai, and scolded the dead eunuch a hundred times in his heart.

No one noticed that someone was hiding in the night on the mountain peak, had a panoramic view of these things, and then handed a large handful of dates to the monkeys who were rushing towards them.

The jujubes are big and sweet, and the monkeys eat them happily.

This person is Lao Yu, a temporary new member of He Lingchuan's team. He gestured and said "uuuuuu" in his mouth, and he was able to communicate with the group of monkeys.

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

Two more days.

Longhougang was safe and sound, but the monkey suffered a setback and seemed to stop coming.So the palace envoy's supervision ended, and he hurried back to the palace to answer his orders.

As soon as he left, the general of Longmao Gate heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly said to his opponent: "Cover the beacon stove!"

"My lord?" Didn't the palace envoy refuse to let me go?

"He can go back to the palace after his mission is over, we still have to guard here. Another accident has nothing to do with him, but we will lose our heads." The guard sneered, "If it were you, how would you choose?"

So everyone worked together to cover the beacon stove. Everyone knew that the day after tomorrow would be the enthronement ceremony of the new king, and this critical moment must not cause any accidents.

……

The south gate of Panlong City.

A large number of people are gathering, and countless torches will reflect the place like day.

Zhong Shengguang stood up, drew his sword to the sky with a clang, and began a passionate speech.

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

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

The audience was frantic.Everyone listening below felt their blood boil, wishing to rush out and kill eight hundred enemies.

"Spiritual rain is coming!"

The sky began to rain lightly.

Sun Fuping also exposed this move when he mobilized the soldiers of Heishui City to go to the desert, but the range of rain was not so wide.

The more than [-] members of the Panlong City Army who went out this time have received spiritual rain empowerment, and they only feel lighter, stronger, breathe more freely, and have higher fighting spirit.

This is the Red General's use of the Panlong City's Yuanli to ensure that the soldiers are evenly exposed to the rain and dew.

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

Fengquan wine is a specialty of Xilong, and the price in Panlong City is not low, not everyone can afford it.

All the soldiers shouted, turned collectively, and headed out of the city gate.

The civilians cheered and threw flowers to the soldiers.
