Chapter 193: Negotiating Mission
Jacques thought about it, even if he was too sensitive, and it was a big deal to apologize and compensate the carriage driver when he arrived at the destination, but the task of protecting the target did not allow him to be careless.
As their carriage overtook the roadside park, Jacques glanced to see that the curtain of the car had been lifted, and someone else was looking at him.
It didn't take long for Jacques to spot in the rearview mirror that two other cars were following again.
At the same time, Fat Tangerine finally determined their current location from the appearance of the building in the distance, and for Fat Tangerine, who likes to wander the streets in the middle of the night, finding the way is already a master-level skill.
Their current location is a bit southerly, and if you return to Stone Bay, you will either pass through the 18 commercial districts, or take the congested shopping streets and City Hall Square.
Jacques quickly made the decision to go in the direction of the high street!
Although he didn't know who was going to deal with Kane, the other party didn't do anything directly in the relatively remote Bay of Pigs, and he definitely didn't want the situation to expand and wanted to be arrested quietly.
Then he will go the opposite way, and prefer to go to places with many people, so that they have some scruples. There is also a reason that Kane is a friend of Captain Grantwan, and if something happens, let alone the Legion, the City Guard will do its best to protect it.
With this in mind, Jacques suddenly pulled the reins of his horse, and the two half-blindfolded horses turned to the left and entered a path. Then there were seven turns, and the taxi carriage began to make its way through the alley.
The narrow road in the alley, where two carriages could not pass side by side, and there were many pedestrians, so the speed was not fast, and Jacques soon saw two other cars in the rearview mirror.
- Sure enough, they came for us!
"Lily, watch the car behind!" Jacques turned to remind Lily in the back compartment.
Lily and Mr. Kane, who were in the back seat, had been watching the rear and saw each other's carriages getting closer. Hearing Jacques' warning, Lily decisively pushed open the rear window, and a power grid was thrown, the edges of which stuck to the buildings at both ends of the street, blocking the narrow street like a spider's web.
The driver of the carriage behind reacted very quickly, braking suddenly, and the shrill grinding sound resounded through the streets.
The carriage finally stopped in front of the grid with difficulty, and watched Jacques and the others walk away.
The driver looked at the back of the car with an embarrassed expression, and the person in the back compartment said: "It's quite alert, they are going to Stone Bay, take the main road to the Pioneer Square in front of the city hall to block them." ”
"But...... There are a lot of people over there, if you meet the city guards......"
"What is there to be afraid of the city guards, if they really meet them, I will send them, I will accompany you today, isn't it to help you deal with the city guards!
......
Shaking off his pursuers, Jacques drove out of the alley and into the shopping street, where he found that the road ahead had become congested and horse-drawn carriages lined up in the street.
This section happens to be the most prosperous commercial street, and there are no forks on the left and right sides for detours, so it is of course impossible to make a U-turn. As a last resort, Jacques had no choice but to park the carriage at the end of the line.
Jacques poked his head out and asked the driver of the other carriage parked side by side, "Excuse me, why is there a traffic jam ahead?
The driver of the carriage said angrily: "There is no other way, you can see that the car behind is also coming up, and it will not be possible to turn around! Why is there a traffic jam? It must be those politicians doing something in Pioneer Square again! The traffic in York Town should have been reorganized a long time ago! If I were mayor, the first decree would be that no ......road closures would be allowed."
Jacques didn't have time to listen to the driver's nagging, so he quickly discussed it with the two people in the back compartment, and immediately decided to abandon the car and walk to the bar in Stone Cove.
The three got out of the car and blended into the flow of people leading to the square.
Mr. Kane wondered, "How can there be a traffic control closure?"
Jacques, who was walking behind him with a fat orange on his shoulder, said: "It shouldn't be deliberately to block us, I just heard that a negotiation team came to meet Mayor Hoffa, so the traffic is controlled." ”
"Negotiating group, the rebels in the north want to make peace with Hoffa? No, they can't come and surrender now. Kane said.
"Rebels?" Jacques had never heard of rebels near Yorktown.
"Shhhhhhh
Lily, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, then turned around and said, "Jacques, I think we are going to meet acquaintances again, I heard someone say just now that it is the negotiation team of the 'Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom'!"
Jacques was overjoyed and said to Kane, "Mr. Kane, let's go to the town hall and have a look, there may be my friend who has come to negotiate." ”
"What 'Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom'? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"The newly founded country of the Sioux, come on......"
"You have friends in Sioux too?"
Although they were all transcendentals, it took a lot of effort for the three of them to squeeze to the front of the crowd of onlookers in the square, and beyond that was the cordon opened by the soldiers of the city guard.
Jacques looked at the road leading to the square to the west, and saw a heavily armed city guard soldier standing guard every few meters along the way, as if the negotiating team of the Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom had not yet arrived.
After a few minutes, there was a commotion in the crowd to the west, followed by three carriages, each drawn by two white horses, in the distance on the open road.
The three cars entered the square and stopped in front of the town hall, which was directly opposite the square, and the people in the cars got out of the car one after another.
Jacques deliberately squeezed near the parking position, and found that all of them were acquaintances: Grandmaster Brute, Grandmaster of the Blood Moon, the abdicated Great Chief Flore, his son Selford, as well as the chief alternate and Sandora, and at the end of the line was Chandler.
Confirming the identity of the negotiators, Jacques smiled slightly, and Lily escorted Kane into the crowd again, disappearing.
The three of them finally arrived at the sleepless street in Stone Bay and arrived at the "Flower of the Heart" bar.
Delivering Kane to his father, Jacques briefly recounted what had happened on the road, leaving room for their old friends to chat.
Back at the bar from the backyard, there was not a single customer in the entire bar, except for Lily sitting at the bar and a bored Sammy bartending.
Jacques sat down next to Lily and quipped, "Miss Beauty, may I have the honour to have a drink?"
Lily propped her elbows on the bar, looked at Jacques with a lazy gaze, and lightly lifted her lips: "It depends on whether my fiancé minds." ”
Jacques was overjoyed, and when he introduced Lily to Captain Grant and Mr. Kane today, he said that Lily was his fiancée, and Lily was obviously a little surprised at the time, and this was the first time Jacques had said this to outsiders.
Jacques smiled and said, "Your fiancé is looking forward to the Nasrid branch president coming to York City soon......"
"Is it still called Naselli Branch?"
"Yes, yes, my future father-in-law. ”
"Bang!
Sammy put two glasses of wine on the table of the bar and said, "Sooner or later, I will be tired of the smell of love, just out of the clutches of my master and my wife, I didn't expect that you will come again after a period of purity!"
Then he reached over the two glasses, and the red liquor in the glasses burned.
"Taste my specialty, burning dragon's blood!
Jacques excused: "I'm still young, not yet of drinking age!"
"Phew, I'm getting married, I'm embarrassed to say I'm young! Drink it! Look Lily has drunk it!"
"Wow, this wine tastes so good!" Lily sighed, then looked at Jacques.
Jacques had no choice but to take the wine and drink it down, the flame extinguished when he entered his mouth, but the burning sensation of the alcohol ran down his throat and into his stomach.
......
On the other hand, traffic control was relaxed, the flow of people in the square also dispersed, and vehicles resumed traffic.
The tracker quickly found the driver's unconscious cab, but the target was long gone.
One of them ran to the carriage to report the results, and the man in the carriage said, "They can't run away, there are still three days, and I will find him all over Stone Bay!"
I have already drawn a portrait of the person driving just now, you can take some more people to Stone Bay to check this person and our target, focusing on the street that never sleeps!
I'm going to find them tonight!"
