Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2135 Mistuned to tune the tiger away from the mountain

  Because Feicheng is so big, Liu Xing and others soon came to Feihu Lake and saw a boat with many big bags parked on the shore. It seemed that it was a cargo ship.

   And just like what the famous family member said, there were many signs of damage on the ship, and the bags were also scratched, and it could be seen that the contents seemed to be tea.

Liu Xing and others approached the ship, and Yu Lei quickly said with certainty: "Someone did it on purpose! Although these traces seem to be simulating some wild beasts attacking the ship, we can see that these traces are very obvious. It is artificial, because it is difficult for our human weapons to simulate the effect of animal claws, such as the claw marks in this position, the distance between the claws is not right."

   Liu Xing looked at the position of Yu Lei's finger, and found that the claw marks on this position were indeed somewhat scattered, as if a person was trying to separate each finger as much as possible.

  This is not very reasonable.

Of course, what is even more unreasonable is that these traces seem to be caused by a tiger, but the problem is that although there are tigers in the vicinity, there is an idiom called Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest, so these tigers generally live in the mountains. To drink water is to drink mountain spring water directly, and generally do not go to the river on purpose.

What's more, the rivers near the city of Fei are far away from the mountains and forests, and the nearest distance is hundreds of meters, so unless the tiger is too hot and wants to take a cold bath in the river, it probably won't Occurs near rivers.

What's more, the tigers in the martial arts module this time are actually much more honest than the tigers in history. It's like Maxim made the nomads good at singing and dancing. Become a cute tiger, because if they dare to go down the mountain casually, all the nearby sects are very happy to shoot. After all, this can not only improve their reputation, let more talented young people join them, but also from Wutai has gained a lot of benefits.

Although the IQ of wild animals is not high, they also know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and survive the fittest, so those tigers who like to go down the mountain have become history, and the remaining tigers basically only move in the mountains and forests. Because the imprint of "leaving the mountains and forests will die" has been engraved in their DNA.

So it is almost impossible for a tiger to suddenly run to the river and attack a cargo ship, because regardless of whether the tiger will take the initiative or not, the guards on the cargo ship are not Decoration.

Because there are also cargo ships passing by near Heshan County, Liu Xing also knows that these cargo ships usually operate in groups, and the number of guards equipped is linked to the number and value of the cargo ships, but the guarantee is still a ship With an escort, if there are more than ten ships, two **** ships will be arranged in tandem, and the **** captain must be at least a third-rate master.

Therefore, if this cargo ship is acting alone, then according to the value of this ship of tea, there should be at least two low-level guards, and judging from the structure of this ship, there is indeed a "security room" for the guards. ", that is, the two small rooms at the bow and stern.

   "The quality of this tea seems to be a bit poor."

  At this time, Xia Fei, who boarded the boat to check, held some tea leaves, shook his head and said, "These tea leaves seem to be leftovers, and they are of average quality, so such a bag may not be worth a tael of silver."

Hearing what Xia Fei said, Han Yu hurriedly boarded the boat to inspect the tea leaves, then nodded and said, "That's right, the quality of these tea leaves is really not good, it's not as good as the tea leaves we prepared for the tea shed. It only cost half a tael of silver, so this shipment of tea leaves may be worth more than ten taels of silver? So where is this shipment of tea leaves going? If it is farther away, the sum of this shipment of tea leaves is not enough for the shipping fee. "

   "Han Yu, open all the bags and see if there is anything else in it."

Yu Lei touched the bloodstain on the boat, frowned and said, "There seems to be something wrong with the bloodstain, as if it had been diluted with water, so these bloodstains seem to be quite a lot, but if you really want to count them, you can actually use them." Not much blood, not to mention I suspect that some bloodstains are pig blood and chicken blood; so now it is basically certain that the ship was not attacked by any wild beasts, and someone deliberately dressed the ship like this, But why are they doing this? Is it to scare people?"

At this time, with the help of his servants, Han Yu had already opened all the bags on the boat, "It's all tea, but it's all worthless leftovers, and there are even some tea stalks mixed in, and even some small stones, so I have to estimate the value of these tea leaves a little less, less than ten taels of silver, and it may even be the kind of free disposal, because some tea leaves have already smelled bad."

   "So what is this doing?"

Prefect Han said with a puzzled face: "Before this, there has never been a similar incident in Feicheng, and according to what you said, the emissary, the ship's fraudulent methods are too rough, as long as you check carefully If you find a flaw in it, then it won't scare anyone, right?"

"Yeah, this ship looks okay at first glance, but when you look closely, it is full of flaws, not to mention meeting a knowledgeable person, even ordinary people will find something wrong when they encounter it, so I took it for a while. I can’t even think of what this thing can be used for.”

  Looking at Yu Lei who was confused, Liu Xing also touched the back of his head with a puzzled expression, and then subconsciously looked in the direction of the connection port.

  Wait, don't you?

Liu Xing thought of a possibility, so he quickly said: "Brother Yu, do you think there is such a possibility that this ship is actually a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain! Because as you just said, this ship Even if the ship can't stand the inspection, it looks like that at first glance, so this ship can attract our attention no matter what, just like now, whether it's Wutai or Han Taishou I was attracted by this ship!"

  Hearing what Liu Xing said, the expressions of Yu Lei and others became serious.

   "Prefect Han, do we have any valuable targets in Fei City?" Yu Lei asked.

   "If there are any, then there are several granaries in the city, right? These granaries are basically full and can feed everyone in Feicheng for several years."

Prefect Han shook his head and said, "However, pools are prepared near these granaries, and the Wutai is stationed nearby. At the same time, I also arranged for the surrounding residents to help put out the fire when they saw the fire, so even if someone can light the fire, the fire will be destroyed." It is also unlikely to be burned; in addition, there may be only one place worth doing in Feicheng, and that is the Feicheng Ancestral Hall next to Wutai! It is the first building built in Feicheng, although it is nothing Practical, but memorable."

   "Seems to be all right?"

Miao Fei looked at the position of Wutai, shook his head and said: "The terrain near Wutai is also quite open, so if a stranger wants to get close to the granary or ancestral hall, they will definitely be found, and Wutai will be there at that time." Ring the bell to remind."

   "Ah, did I guess wrong?" Liu Xing said with a little embarrassment.

   "No, A Peng, what you said is very reasonable. This is indeed a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but this trick may not be aimed at Feicheng!"

Yu Lei looked at Xia Fei and said, "Old Xia, you should go to Yishui Port downstream now! If I remember correctly, if this boat did not enter Fei Lake by mistake, it should go downstream And next, arrive at Yishui Port two hours later! That is, when it is getting dark, this ship will appear in Yishui Port. It caused crowds to watch! And this should be more than one boat, so there are other boats heading towards Yishui Port!"

   "Okay, I'll go to Yishui Port right now!"

  Xia Fei was also unambiguous, so he got up and left.

  When Han Yu and Han Taishou heard the words "Yishui Port", their expressions also became tense.

  As for Liu Xing, because "Liu Peng" didn't know the existence of Yishui Port, he could only look at Yu Lei blankly.

Seeing Liu Xing's appearance, Yu Lei explained: "This Yishui port is the most important port nearby, and it can even be said to be the water transport node in this area, so a large amount of goods are stored in the port, and many merchant ships are in the area. When passing by, they will choose to rest here, so many people are staring at this three-acre land, hoping to earn some benefits from it."

"I went to Yishui Port two days ago. Before I left, I heard that a ship sank near the port for some reason, but the ship didn't seem too big, so it didn't block it. river."

Han Yu stood up and said: "However, when I left, no one came to claim the ship, and no one came to salvage the cargo of the ship, so according to the rules of Yishui Port, if there is no one on the ship for another two days If you don't care, then anyone can salvage the sunken ship and get all the goods on the ship, but the ship must be cleared out of the river."

"If this trick of turning the tiger away from the mountain is used in Yishui Port, then it is possible that the owner of the ship wants to secretly take something on board, which means that this thing is shady, so He didn't dare to do this in a fair manner; of course, it's also possible that we were thinking too much. This is a group of small thieves who want to use this ship to divert the tiger away from the mountain, attract the guards on Yishui Port, and then stealthily take it. Walk something."

Yu Lei rubbed his chin and said: "As for the owner of the sunken ship, maybe he simply felt that the cargo on this ship was hopeless, or it was not worth spending a lot of money to salvage it, so he simply gave up on this ship." After all, the ship can sink in this calm river, which means that there is a big problem with the ship itself, and it can be seen that the owner of the ship cannot use it to transport any important cargo."

   "Does Yishui Port itself have any important goals?"

Liu Xing asked seriously: "Perhaps the target of these people is not some things in Yishui Port, but the Yishui Port itself! Just like what you said, brother Yu, this is a very important water transportation node , so if there is a problem here, the merchant ships in this area will be thrown into chaos, and some things will not be delivered on time."

   "There is such a possibility, because the volume of goods in Yishui Port is still quite large, and they are directly piled up near the port for convenience, so this fire can easily ignite the entire Yishui Port!"

Prefect Han shook his head and said, "But there is a branch of Wutai in Yishui Port, so not everyone can attack Yishui Port with fire, not to mention that there is water near the port, so pure fire attack is difficult to be effective. of."

   "So this may be a subordinate of a certain prince!"

Yu Lei said affirmatively: "If these people are the subordinates of a certain prince, then many things make sense! First of all, they must have a reason to do so, because as long as there is a problem with this water canal, then we will soon It is difficult to transport a large amount of materials to other places in a short period of time. After all, if you go by land in this weather, both people and cattle are prone to heatstroke, which is far less convenient than water transportation! Secondly, there is a mine near Yishui Port, which can produce All kinds of iron ore and copper ore are all very useful ores at this time."

   "Yes, how could I forget about this mine!"

Taishou Han patted his thigh and said: "The ore from this mine was originally sent to Iron Furnace City, because there are not many other things in Iron Furnace City, but there are enough iron furnaces, so these ores have long been given by the blacksmith shop in Iron Furnace City It is scheduled, and it is a very long downhill road, and it is very convenient to transport; but the problem is that this Iron Furnace City belongs to the Sixth Prince, so it is impossible to send these ores to Iron Furnace City, so they can only pass through Yishui Port transported to other places."

"The most important thing is that these ores are very useful, so if Yishui Port can be burned, these ores will not be able to play any role in a short period of time, which is also a big blow to us, although this blow will It takes a while to see the effect.”

Yu Lei said with some headaches: "However, this mine is still too close to Iron Furnace City, so the sixth prince may give priority to sending troops to occupy this mine, so that he can continuously turn these ores into weapons And it is very troublesome for us to defend this mine, because this mine can only guard a mine, but guarding the mine is tantamount to being trapped in a cocoon. As long as the sixth prince is more ruthless, then this mine will also It can only last for a few days."

   "So in the eyes of many people, this mine already belongs to the sixth prince, so I will ignore it." Prefect Han said shaking his head.
