Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2227 Rainy Night
The night was dark, with clouds hanging low.

Bean-sized raindrops mixed with the fishy smell of seawater fell from the sky as if pouring down from the sky. From time to time, tree branch-like lightning flashed out of the dark clouds to illuminate the entire port of Huating Town. With the divine power of heaven and earth.

Thunder and lightning, torrential rain.

The sea breeze rolled the river like a pot of boiling soup. In this weather, all the ships anchored to the shore, and the cables were tightly tied to the stone pillars on the shore. Once they left the shore, they would capsize in an instant.

The boatmen and porters were all huddled in the cabins and houses, and there was only torrential rain in Nuoda's port, and even the never-ending night patrols reduced the number of patrols.

Who would dare to come out and steal in such a horrible weather?

I'm afraid he fell into the river and drowned before he could take the stolen goods away...

On the pier, there are rows of warehouses densely packed, and due to the reasonable planning, straight paths can be left between each other, making the entire pier as clear as a chessboard.

Under the heavy rain, the patrolling soldiers extended the patrol interval from once every half an hour to two hours, but they did not relax at all in the core area of ​​the dock warehouse.

Every half an hour, there will be soldiers wearing helmets, wearing armor, sabers and horizontal knives, and patrolling around several large warehouses in rain gear. , not letting go of the slightest abnormality in the dark rain.

When this group of soldiers walked past the warehouse, turned around the corner on one side and turned into the alley on the other side, a group of men in black sneaked out from a low warehouse on the opposite side...

The leader is tall and tall, and his whole body is hidden in black night clothes. The clothes are soaked by rain, revealing a strong physique.

Wearing a black scarf on his face, the man wiped the rain that was about to flow into his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Be quicker later!"

Several others nodded in agreement.

It's Goguryeo...

The heavy rain was still pouring down, and the dark night was filled with thunder and lightning, illuminating the warehouse area from time to time, and then it was hidden in darkness again.

After a while, a figure quickly came to the warehouse door, looked around, and waved towards the hiding place of the man in black, but the rain was pouring down on the dark night, and the sight was difficult to reach three steps away, so no one could see his movements clearly ?
The man stood there for a while, Xu realized this, and hurriedly ran towards this side, and when he got close, the two groups met...

The two groups met at one place, quickly walked through the alley between the warehouses, and arrived at the door of the tall warehouse. Then the figure took out a bunch of keys, opened the door of the warehouse, and entered the warehouse first.

A group of men in black followed closely behind.

The warehouse was pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers. The man closed the door of the warehouse and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a cold in his throat, and then a pain. His throat had already been cut...

*****
Not far from the warehouse is the duty room of the night watchmen.

Candles were lit in the duty room, and the soldiers who had just returned from patrolling the streets took off their rain gear. Someone complained: "What the hell is this weather? It's thundering and raining again! There are no stray cats or dogs on the street, so why use it?" Watch the night!"

Another human said: "It's fine in other places. These warehouses are the key points of the town office to be strictly guarded. There must be important goods. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid we will have to pay for this little life." !"

Someone echoed: "Who says it's not? The left and right are just going around in the rain, so be careful, just in case."

Everyone stopped talking.

Huating Town is Fang Erlang's fiefdom, and the port is also the location of Shibo Department. There are hundreds of thousands of warehouses hoarding countless valuable goods, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be astronomical.What's more, those warehouses that the township office has repeatedly ordered to be strictly guarded against?
Although he is just a small night watchman, he earns more money than ordinary peddlers in the city, especially since the whole family makes a living in the town, and most of them have moved their household registrations to Huating Town, so how dare they make any mistakes?
A group of soldiers took off their rain gear and put on dry clothes. They couldn't fall asleep for a while, and it was almost time for the next night watch. They sat by the window and listened to the rainstorm outside. A big pot of cheap tea foam, each person drank in a big bowl to dispel dampness and cold.

"Huh? Where did Wu Laosan go?"

Everyone drank hot tea and felt that the dampness and coldness had faded away, and the body was warm and comfortable from the inside to the outside. Suddenly someone asked.

"Huh? I was still in the house just now, maybe I went to the toilet."

Everyone was relieved.

After a while, someone suddenly stood up and said, "Something is wrong! Why is it taking so long to go to the toilet?"

"Don't be so nervous, who can tell if you have diarrhea?"

"...the key is missing!"

"What key?"

"The key to the warehouse!"

"not good!"

All the soldiers were shocked. Could it be that Mr. Wu took the key and sneaked into some warehouse, trying to steal something?

The leading soldier yelled angrily: "You bastard! Guard day and night, house thieves are hard to guard against! Let me go, you must find out this bastard. He dared to steal things because he wanted my brothers to accompany him to be killed." Will Pei Changshi deal with it?"

Everyone is also annoyed, as a night watchman guarding himself and stealing, everyone will have to follow the bad luck together!

"Turtle son! I'm going to skin him tonight!"

Everyone put on their rain gear, and as soon as they opened the door, they heard an earth-shattering sound from outside in the dark rainy night, which made everyone's eardrums buzzing, and a huge fire burst into the sky in the darkness, spreading across the sky. A huge firework seemed to be in full bloom in the rainstorm.

The ground under his feet trembled, and the furnishings in the house jingled.

The soldiers turned pale with fright, and when they saw the direction of the fire, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar...

"That's the navy's warehouse!"

"Mother! Could it be that the Thunderbolt stored in the warehouse exploded?"

The eyeballs of the leading soldiers were all red, if something happened to Zhen Tianlei of the navy, it would be the crime of beheading!

"What the hell are you doing standing there? Dare I go!"

He took a step and ran into the wind and rain, and the people behind him also shut up and followed closely, ignoring the torrential rain and rushing towards the warehouse.

When I arrived at the place, the last fluke in my heart disappeared.

The originally tallest warehouses had already been razed to the ground, and the timber goods were everywhere with flames, which were soon doused by the heavy rain. The nearby warehouses across the alley were all affected, and the walls collapsed and the houses collapsed into a mess.

The lead soldier was pale, his legs were trembling subconsciously, it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he roared: "Hurry up and tell all the night patrol soldiers, block all the exits of the pier, and dig out the thief for me! In addition, hurry up and tell Pei Changshi, ask him to come here, and make a quick decision..."

"Here!"

A group of soldiers have long been in a mess, and after obeying orders, they went their own way.

What is Thunderbolt?
It is a magical weapon equipped by the navy, and the control is extremely strict!

There are even dozens of sailors guarding the warehouse, none of them are seen at the moment, obviously they have been blasted to the sky by the explosion just now...

This is a big case!
Maybe everyone is responsible for this...

*****
A corner of the pier.

The heavy rain slanted on the river, and the whole Wusong River was like a pot of boiling soup. All the ships were leaning on the docks, and the hulls of the boats swayed with the surging river water.

Inside a black-covered cargo ship, several people were lying on the side of the ship, staring at a dozen black figures on the shore, taking in their every move.

Watching those people move a few huge wooden boxes onto a cargo ship, some of the people watching over here murmured: "Mother! These guys probably blow up the warehouse where the navy stores Zhentianlei Right? Look at that posture just now, it’s scarier than thunder!"

"My lord is really clever! I knew that the nobles of Guanlong couldn't swallow this breath, and they would definitely find trouble with Fang Jun, and Huating Town is Fang Jun's foundation, and it is also a huge loophole. The Guanlong family came to this move, It's really ruthless, the warehouse was bombed, Zhen Tianlei was lost, Fang Jun is in big trouble this time."

"Even if His Majesty favors him again, I'm afraid he will have to shed his skin?"

"Shut up! Let me keep an eye on you!"

Several people quickly shut up.

The torrential rain was still there, and the lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, making the pier pale, and the surroundings were like ghosts, except for the shadows of people on and off the cargo ship.The men in black on the shore moved all the wooden boxes to the cargo ship, and some people responded on board, transported the wooden boxes back to the cabin, and some people untied the cables, and they actually wanted to set sail on a rainy night!

This side has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Seeing the other party's cargo ship slowly leaving the dock in the waves, he whispered: "Untie the cable, lift the anchor, let's catch up and do it!"
