Real Cthulhu Running Game

Because the city of Fei was only that big, Liu Xing and others quickly arrived at Fei Lake and saw a boat with many large bags parked on the shore. It looked like it was a cargo ship.

And just like what the servant said, there were a lot of signs of damage on the ship, and the bags were also scratched, and it could be seen that they seemed to contain tea.

Liu Xing and others approached the ship, and Yu Lei quickly said with certainty: "This was done deliberately! Although these marks seem to simulate some wild beasts attacking the ship, we can see that these marks are very obvious It is man-made, because it is difficult for our human weapons to simulate the effect of animal claws. For example, the claw marks at 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 at this position were indeed somewhat scattered, as if a person was trying to spread each finger as far as possible.

This is not very reasonable.

Of course, what is even more unreasonable is that these marks seem to be caused by a tiger, but the problem is that although there are tigers around here, there is an idiom called Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest, so these tigers generally live in the mountain forest, even if If you want to drink water, you can drink it directly from the mountain spring water. Generally, you don’t go to the river specially.

What's more, the rivers near Fei City are far away from the mountains and forests, and they have to be hundreds of meters away. Therefore, unless the tiger can't stand the heat and wants to run into the river to take a cold bath, it probably won't. Appears near river channels.

What's more, the tigers in this martial arts module are actually much more honest than the tigers in history. Just like Maxim made the nomads good at singing and dancing, the existence of martial arts platforms and various martial arts also made the tigers They have become cute tigers, because if they dare to go down the mountain casually, the nearby sects will be happy to take action. After all, this can not only enhance their reputation and allow more talented young people to join them, but also can Wutai received 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 and eliminate the fittest. Therefore, those stubborn 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 "you will die if you leave the mountains and forests" has been engraved in their DNA.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for a tiger to suddenly run to the river and actively attack a cargo ship, because regardless of whether the tiger will take the initiative, neither will the guards on the cargo ship. Decorations.

Because there are cargo ships passing by near Heshan County, Liu Xing also knows that these cargo ships usually move in groups, and the number of guards equipped is linked to the number and value of the cargo ships, but the guarantee is also one ship If there is a guard, if there are more than ten ships, two guard ships will be arranged one behind the other, and the guard captain must be at least a third-rate expert.

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

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

At this time, Xia Fei, who boarded the ship to check, took some tea leaves, shook his head and said, "These tea leaves seem to be scraps, and they are of average quality, so a bag like this may not be worth more than a tael of silver."

Hearing what Xia Fei said, Han Yu also quickly boarded the boat to check the tea leaves, then nodded and said: "Yes, the quality of these tea leaves is really bad, not as good as the tea leaves we prepared for the tea shed. You know, we can't buy such a bag of tea leaves." It only cost half a tael of silver, so this ship of tea may be worth more than ten taels of silver? So where is this ship of tea going to be transported? If it is farther away, the total cost of this ship of tea is not enough. "

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

Yu Lei touched the blood stains on the boat, frowned and said: "There seems to be something wrong with the blood stains, as if it has been diluted with water, so these blood stains seem to be quite a lot, but if you really want to count them, it is actually There isn't much blood, and I suspect that some of the blood is pig blood or chicken blood; so now I can basically confirm that this ship was not attacked by any wild beasts, and that someone deliberately decorated 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. "They are all tea leaves, but they are also all worthless scraps. There are even some tea stems and even some small stones mixed in, so The estimate I give for these tea leaves must be lower, less than ten taels of silver, and it may even be the kind of goods that are free of charge, because some of the tea leaves already have a peculiar smell."

"So what is this going on?"

Governor Han said with a puzzled look on his face: "Similar things have never happened in Fei City before, and according to what you said, the ship's deception methods are too crude. Just check it carefully and it will be clear." If you find a flaw in it, then this won’t scare anyone, right?”

"Yes, this ship looks fine at first glance, but if you look closely, there are flaws everywhere. Let alone a knowledgeable person, even an ordinary person will find something wrong when they encounter it, so I temporarily I can’t even think of what this thing can be used for.”

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

Wait, isn’t it?

Liu Xing thought of a possibility, so he quickly said: "Brother Yu, do you think there is such a possibility, that is, 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 cannot withstand inspection, it still looks like the same thing at first glance, so this ship can attract our attention no matter what. Just like now, whether it is 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 goals in Fei City?" Yu Lei asked.

"If there is one, it would be the several granaries in the city, right? These granaries are basically full and can feed everyone in Fei City for several years."

Governor Han shook his head and said: "But there are pools near these granaries, and the martial arts station is nearby. At the same time, I have also arranged for the surrounding residents to help put out the fire when they see a fire, so even if someone can light the fire, the fire will It is unlikely to burn down; apart from that, there may be only one place worth doing in Feicheng, and that is the Feicheng Ancestral Hall, which is also next to Wutai! It is also the first building built in Feicheng, although it is nothing. Practical, but very memorable.”

"Seems okay?"

Miao Fei looked at the location 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, he will definitely be discovered, and then Wutai will Ring the bell as a reminder.”

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

"No, A Peng, what you said makes sense. This is indeed a trick to lure 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 stray into Fei Lake, it should have flowed downstream. Next, we will arrive at Yishui Port in two hours! That is to say, when it is getting dark, this ship will appear at Yishui Port. It will definitely shock the people who find it. It caused everyone to watch! And this should be more than just one ship, so there are other ships heading towards Yishui Port!"

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

Xia Fei didn't hesitate, got up and left.

When Han Yu and Prefect Han heard the words "Yishui Port", their expressions became nervous.

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

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

"I just visited Yishui Port two days ago. Before I left, I heard that a ship sank near the port for some unknown reason. However, the ship didn't seem to be too big, so it was not blocked. River channel.”

Han Yu stood up and said: "But when I left, no one came to claim the ship, and no one came to salvage the ship's cargo. So according to the rules of Yishui Port, if the ship is unmanned for another two days, If you take care of it, then anyone can salvage the sunken ship and obtain all the cargo on the ship, but the ship must also be cleared out of the river."

"If this trick to lure a tiger away from the mountain is used in Yishui Port, then it is possible that the owner of the ship wants to secretly take away something on the ship, which means that this thing is shameful, so He didn't dare to do it openly; of course, it's also possible that we were overthinking it. This was a group of thieves who wanted to use this ship to lure the tiger away from the mountain, attract the guards at Yishui Port, and then steal it secretly. Walk something.”

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

"Does Yishui Port itself have any important goals?"

Liu Xing asked seriously: "Perhaps the goal of these people is not something in Yishui Port, but the Yishui Port itself! As Brother Yu said, this is a very important water transportation node. , so if something goes wrong here, the merchant ships in this area will be in chaos, and some things will not be delivered on time."

"It is possible, because the volume of goods in Yishui Port is quite large, and they are all piled up near the port for convenience, so this fire can easily ignite the entire Yishui Port!"

Governor Han shook his head and said: "But there is a branch of Wutai in Yishui Port, so not everyone can use fire attack on Yishui Port. Besides, there is a lot of water near the port, so a simple fire attack is difficult to be effective. of."

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

Yu Lei said with certainty: "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 this, because as long as there is a problem with this canal, then we will be very vulnerable. It is difficult to transport a large amount of materials to other places in a short period of time. After all, if you travel by land in this weather, both people and cattle will be prone to heat stroke, which is far less convenient than water transportation! Secondly, there is a mine near Yishui Port that can produce All kinds of iron ore and copper ore are all ores that are very useful at this time."

"Yeah, why did I forget this mine!"

Prefect Han slapped his thigh and said: "Originally, the ore from this mine will be sent to Iron Furnace City. Because there are not many other things in Iron Furnace City, there are enough iron furnaces, so these ores have long been given to the blacksmith shop in Iron Furnace City. It has been booked, and it is still a long downhill road, and it is very convenient to transport; but the problem is that Iron Furnace City belongs to the Sixth Prince, so it is impossible for these ores to be sent to Iron Furnace City, so they can only go through Ship it to other places at Yishui Port."

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

Yu Lei said with a headache: "However, this mine and Iron Furnace City are still too close, 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 quite troublesome for us to defend this mine, because this mine can only guard a mine, but guarding the mine is equivalent to trapping ourselves. As long as the Sixth Prince is more ruthless, then this mine will be It can only last a few days."

"So in the eyes of many people, this mine already belongs to the Sixth Prince, so I will ignore it." Han Taishou shook his head and said.
