Pawnshop No. 8: Lord of Darkness

The beacon tower was suddenly lit, and everyone looked shocked.

Even Ji Gongyang, who had been playing games with his life, changed his expression at this moment and asked:"Boss Lin! What do you mean?"

Lin Yan glanced at Ji Gongyang and said lightly:"You didn't say it yourself. Can any method be used?"

Hearing this, Ji Gongman's tone was choked and he said in astonishment:"What's the use of your method?"

Lin Yan said:"Whether it works or not, we will know later."

As the two of them were talking. During the process, people were already surrounding Lin Yan.

Lighting a beacon privately is a serious crime that requires quartering one's body!

Faced with the surrounding soldiers, Lin Yan did not move, just looked at the sky in the distance.

Ji Gongyan took a deep look at Lin Yan, then waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.

After receiving the king's order, the soldiers of the Western Zhou Dynasty bowed and retreated.

Only Bao Si's gaze fluctuated for a moment, and he turned to look at Lin Yan, remaining silent.

The flames grew bigger and bigger, and the beacon smoke soared upwards, becoming thicker and thicker.

Even if you are far away, you can see very clearly.

Ten miles away, after seeing the thick smoke in the capital, another beacon tower lit the beacon there again without hesitation.

Then there was twenty miles away.

Thirty miles away...

This is the so-called beacon tower, a high post for watching each other.

As long as one beacon is ignited, it will directly cause a chain reaction, burning all the way until the place where the reinforcements are stationed can be seen.

I have to say that the ancient way of delivering messages was indeed very novel and unique, and very effective.

Time passes little by little.

Looking around, the beacon smoke is billowing, which is very spectacular.

In the city wall palace, several people waited quietly.

Although Ji Gongyan didn't know what Lin Yan meant by this move, seeing how confident he was, he didn't say anything more.

An hour... two hours...

Ji Gongyang had already sat down, looking as if he was about to fall asleep.

Lin Yan's gaze, on the other hand, was always far away.

Three hours later...

In the distance, smoke and dust suddenly billowed, as if a large group of people were heading here.

It's very fast, approaching rapidly.

The leader is a young general.

This person's name is Mu Anhe, and he is the feudal prince closest to the capital.

When Ji Gongyang ordered the attack on Baoguo, Mu Anhe was in charge and made great contributions to the entire Western Zhou Dynasty.

It was at that time that the king of Bao State offered Bao Si in order to surrender and seek peace.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves could be heard on the city wall.

The sleepy Ji Gongyan suddenly stood up and looked at the Western Zhou army that was already very close in front.

His brows wrinkled slightly.

The beacon tower in the capital was lit, and the princes from all walks of life would definitely think that something had happened here and come to rescue.

Mu Anhe was not far from the capital and was the first general to arrive here.

How could he explain this matter?

What the hell is that guy at pawnshop No. 8 doing?

After burning the incense, Mu Anhe led a large group of people to the city wall.

Sitting on the horse, Mu Anhe raised his head, clasped his fists and said:"Your Majesty! Mu Anhe has led 30,000 elite troops to support. Are the enemy troops invading?"

While speaking, Mu Anhe quietly turned his eyes and focused on Praise on Si's face.

The two looked at each other.

Mu Anhe quickly looked away, his expression unchanged, and he looked at Ji Gongyang.

Ji Gongyan coughed lightly and was about to say something when he subconsciously glanced at Bao Si beside him.

The next moment, his eyes narrowed.

His face was originally expressionless and praising Si, but at this moment, he smiled slightly.

One smile can captivate a city, another smile can captivate a country!

Even Lin Yan, who was not far away, was attracted by Bao Si's smile and looked over.

When Bao Si smiles, she becomes even more beautiful, and everything around her is eclipsed by it.

Ji Gong looked at Bao Si in shock. In so many years, he had never seen her smile like this.

Even the corners of his eyes were filled with a hint of smile.

It is obvious that Bao Si is happy from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

"My beloved, you finally smiled...

Ji Gongman said in surprise.

Hearing these words, Bao Si's smile faded slightly, but there was still charm in the corner of her mouth.

Ji Gongyan was a little stunned for a while.

"King!"

Just when Ji Gongyang was admiring Bao Si's smile, Mu Anhe spoke again.

Ji Gongyang frowned, looked at Mu Anhe impatiently, and said:"Stop shouting, someone accidentally lit the beacon tower. , Go back wherever you should!"

Hearing this, Mu Anhe was stunned for a moment, and then his face looked a little unhappy.

A few hours ago, after he saw the thick smoke from the beacon tower, he immediately gathered his troops and rushed over to support without any delay..Now that we have arrived in the capital, you tell me that it is a lie?

You know, other princes are also on their way.

When the princes gather in the capital and find out that this is a joke, what will they think

? The title of Marquis is hundreds of miles away from here.

"King! The beacon tower is not a trivial matter. Please, Your Majesty, send heavy troops to guard it in the future!"Mu Anhe said in a deep voice.

Although he is Ji Gongyang's subordinate, when faced with this kind of thing, he naturally has to vent his dissatisfaction.

Ji Gongyang seems to be a little afraid of Mu Anhe. Although the other party's attitude is disrespectful, it is not Without getting angry, he waved his hand and said:"I understand, you can go back first."

"snort!"

Mu Anhe snorted coldly, turned the horse's head, and galloped away on the original path.

Seeing Mu Anhe's disappearing back, the smile on Bao Si's face disappeared without a trace.

Ji Gongyang was very happy, he Turning to look at Lin Yan, he quietly gave him a thumbs up.

It meant: Your trick really works.

Until now, he has not discovered the intrigue between Bao Si and Mu Anhe. He thought that the reason why Bao Si The reason he smiled was because the feudal lord was teased and led his troops to the capital, which made the other party find it very interesting.

Lin Yan glanced at Bao Si and sighed.

At this moment, there was already a fiery red sunset on the horizon in the distance.

This She is a poor woman.

She looks at the sky at dawn and the clouds at dusk. She misses you even when walking and sitting down.

Unfortunately, this gentleman is not Ji Gongyan.

No one noticed that Lin Yan left.

In the next few months, Ji Gong In order to see Bao Si's smile, Ji Gongyang lit the beacon fire countless times.

As time went by, the princes never came again.

When the dog soldiers came to the city, Ji Gongyang looked at the blazing beacon fire and regretted it.

This incident, history It is called: Beacon fire plays on the princes.
