In early winter, the sun sets very quickly, and the sun sets just now, and in the blink of an eye, night has already fallen.

"Look, it's dark, and the third day is coming, so where are there any traces of Japanese pirates?"

The man who had complained before looked at the dark night in the distance on the city wall. There was no trace of human beings under the night, and he once again complained.

"No, as the saying goes, it's good, and it's time to time. The third day is about to pass, and the Japanese pirates have not come. It seems that the Japanese pirates will not come again. Our county priest is a tiger napping this time..." The man who complained with him before also said.

"Haha..." The locals glanced at them meaningfully and replied with ahha.

The two replied, "Hey...", and complained in their hearts that the county lord is not a god, so what if we make mistakes once, our gratitude to the county lord will not be reduced much.

The night became deeper and deeper. Before long, the night had reached the point where you could not see your five fingers even if you reached out. The outside of the city was still silent, with only one or two creeping screams from the night owls.

"I've been frightened for a whole day! I've left and went home to sleep. I'll never be frightened again. The Japanese pirates are not dogs raised by the county master, and the county master will not predict the future..."

"that is......"

The two of them stayed on the city wall for a while, pulled the corners of their mouths, muttered a few words, and then walked down.

However, as the two of them took the next step, they heard a commotion coming from behind.

"Look, someone is coming straight to the city gate."

"Oh, it's really fast..."

"The Japanese pirates are here..."

The screams of exclamations from the city wall came into the ears of the two of them, and they couldn't help but pause. The timid one of them had his legs weak on the spot. If he hadn't supported the wall in time, he would have to roll down in fright.

The two looked at each other, as if they were shivered by thunder, their heads were filled with smoke, and they said in a trembling voice, "Is the Japanese pirates really here?"

"Brother, brother, please help me. Let's go down quickly and find a cellar, a stinky ditch or something to hide. I hope we are lucky and the Japanese pirates can't find us..."

The timid man clasped against the wall, his trembling and said to the man trembling.

"Ah? Ah! Yes, yes..." The man couldn't help panic when he heard the Japanese pirates.

Seeing this, the locals on the city wall looked at them with a sneer, took out a pig-killing knife from their sleeves, spat hard on the pig-killing knife, and said to themselves, "Old brother, we can fight side by side again today. I didn't let you drink enough blood to defend the city last time. Today I will take you to have enough drinks."

After saying that, the locals squeezed to the front line of the city wall with a pig-killing knife, with a firm look on their faces.

"You're crazy. Don't look at the Japanese pirates who are not tall, they wear beggars, but they are all very skilled in martial arts. They don't have a three-foot long sword on their waists, cut gold and cut iron, kill people without blinking, and eat people without adding salt... He took a pig-killing knife on it. Isn't this the old birthday star who thinks of longevity?!"

Seeing this, the two couldn't help but say.

"The Japanese pirates are here, and my wife's money has finally been settled..."

"I borrowed it. Last time I didn't go up to the city wall. I regretted it for half a year. This time I didn't say anything."

In the blink of an eye, many people with weapons such as feces, shovels, and red tassels rushed over to them, rushing to occupy the battlements, and staring at the outside of the city with their eyes shining brightly.

"What's the situation? Can madness be contagious?! These people are all crazy, right?"

When the two saw so many people rushing forward, they were completely stunned and murmured to themselves.

"No, it's not the Japanese pirates, that's our people, that's the yamen runner Zhang Ergou, I know." A sharp-eyed man discovered the clue and couldn't help but loudly remind the people around him.

"Well, it's really not Zhang Ergou. Behind him is the Tiedan of Dog, and he is also a yamen runner."

Soon someone recognized several people who were quickly approaching the city gate outside the city and shouted.

"Ah?! It's not the Japanese pirates." When the two of them heard this, their nervousness and concern were wiped out, and their bodies quickly relaxed again. They said excitedly, "I'll just say it, how could the Japanese pirates come at the moment?"

Soon, under the gaze of everyone, a few torches outside the city came to the city gate and began to call the gate.

It was Zhang Erniu, Tiedan and the others.

"Erniu, Tiedan, the county master ordered you to monitor the coast closely. Why did you run back?! The city gate cannot be opened. The county master has an order, but without the county master's order, it must not be made into a city gate."

There were servants on the city wall asking.

"There is a situation on the sea. Hundreds of Hachiman ships appeared on the sea and came straight towards our Jingnan. The Hachiman ship is a common warship for Japanese pirates. After the leader noticed this situation, he quickly asked us to report to the prefecture master. Lao Zhang, since the city gate cannot be opened, we will send the bag down. We will take the bag up and report the situation to the prefecture master in time."

Zhang Erniu and others explained loudly under the city gate, urging the officers on the city wall to put down the basket.

After verifying their identity again, they soon hung two cradles on the city wall with a rope, and pulled Zhang Erniu, Tie Lock and the others up one by one. After Zhang Erniu and the others came up, they quickly went down the city wall and reported to Zhu Ping'an the news that the Japanese pirates approached the Jingnan Sea.

"The Japanese pirates are really here!!"

"The Japanese pirates are really here!!"

When the two people by the city wall heard this, they looked at each other, dumbfounded and shocked. How could they have imagined that the county magistrate said that the Japanese pirates were coming and that the Japanese pirates were coming!

Soon, the news of the arrival of the Japanese pirates spread throughout Jingnan County. Although Zhu Ping'an had reminded everyone, everyone was still shocked and afraid when they heard the news.

"The Japanese pirates are really here. These Japanese pirates who killed thousands of swords were too sinister and treacherous, and they attacked late at night. If there was no county lord reminder, how could we find the Japanese pirates' tricks? Who would have thought that the Japanese pirates would attack at night. At this night, everyone must have fallen asleep at home. If there was no county lord reminder, I don't know how many families were killed by Japanese pirates. If there was no county lord reminder, I'm afraid that the county town might have been attacked by Japanese pirates..."

"These Japanese pirates who killed thousands of swords attacked late at night. They were going to start a massacre."

"The county master is really amazing. He said that the Japanese pirates are coming, so we can move and hide in advance. The Japanese pirates are really here. Our village is on the beach. When the Japanese pirates who killed thousands of swords attacks, we will definitely be the first to suffer. Thank you, County Master. If it weren't for the county master, we would probably have suffered a disaster at this moment..."

People were very afraid and very grateful, and were afraid that the Japanese pirates would attack late at night. They were glad that the county magistrate informed in advance that they had taken precautions and avoided in advance, otherwise they would be doomed tonight.
