Chapter 637: Secret War
"Sure enough." Above the restaurant, the man put down his wine glass and looked clear.
The fighting on the street outside the window was obviously expected by him, and he did not come to the window and point at the street like the other guests. Continuing to pour himself a glass of wine, he drank it to himself.
As the person in charge of Hawkeye in Luoyang City, he has no other advantages, the only advantage is to be cautious, cautious enough.
The first battle of Julu, as one of the important layouts of Hawkeye in the territory of the Han Dynasty, lost Hawkeye very badly in that battle. Lose because they don't understand, in the dark, there is another powerful force. All of a sudden, the Julu branch was wiped out overnight.
Now, no. After knowing that such a force exists, they have already done their due investigation, and they are also watching out for the next collision.
They are also hidden in the darkness, and now it is up to us to see who has deeper hidden means and who occupies more darkness.
The stronghold that had now been eliminated was nothing more than a stronghold to be exposed to the eyes of the enemy. There wasn't much left in the stronghold, all that was left was bait to hide people's eyes and ears and make people step into the trap.
Of course, he knew that the Killer House would not step into the trap he left so easily, and it was impossible to even trust any clues he left behind. The vigilance of the killer is never said casually, let alone a large organization as large as the killer building, and it is estimated that there are many people working for espionage.
What if, what if? It was because of what happened that he left that clue and dug a pit ready to bury people. It's just a small gift, a small gift, first to the killer building, and then, a big gift.
"Killer House?" The man took his glass and drank it all. There seems to be some drunkenness in his eyes, and there is a coldness hidden in it.
"Killer House."
This is the name of the organization that gave them the devastation in Julu City. also found out some basic information about the killer building through the corners and corners, and in the process, their subordinate members of Hawkeye also lost a lot of people.
The important thing is that he has already grabbed the tail of the killer building. After this temptation, as long as he investigates all the places Cao Cao has been in recent days, the stronghold of the Killer Building in Luoyang City will also surface.
You look for me, I look for you, like hide and seek. Whoever is found first loses.
Continue to pour a full glass of wine and continue to drink.
The chaos will soon be over. In the current situation in Luoyang City, there are soldiers patrolling the streets almost all the time, and as long as there is a problem somewhere, those soldiers will soon rush over.
"Let's go." The big gun in the hand of the vendor selling rock sugar gourds burst backwards, and the heavy barrel of the gun struck the chest of the enemy behind him, knocking the enemy's chest into a dent and falling with a muffled sound.
"Okay." The man with the long knife replied in a muffled voice, forcing back one of the enemies who had killed him, and immediately ran away.
The spear in the hands of the gun-wielding peddler swung out, creating an arc of gun, and the spear was matched, blocking all the enemies who were ready to chase him. Unlike his fierce marksmanship, after forcing the enemy back, he immediately dragged his gun away, without any mud and water.
The pedestrians on the street had already taken refuge in a safe corner, and even those who were brave enough to stand at a distance and watch from a distance saw the two men running over, and immediately dispersed and separated a road for the two to leave.
In the distance, a group of soldiers was rapidly approaching this direction. Those soldiers were filled with a murderous aura, and their faces were very unsipated, there were enough things happening in Luoyang City. The night before yesterday, when the four eunuchs died, they also rushed over as fast as they could, and in the end they were scolded severely! As a result, all the soldiers now have a breath of anger in their hearts, and they need to be found out by him as soon as possible.
Now, there is an accident in Luoyang City again! It was no less than a slap in the face on them again, and the soldiers were furious, and the speed of the soldiers' movement increased.
"Fishing?" In the restaurant across the street, a guest sneered at the running soldiers.
Fishing. If someone wants to fish, he will bite the hook and try his fishing skills. You know, sometimes when fishing, if you encounter a big fish, you will be dragged into the water with a rod.
Want to fish? Also see if you have the strength and toughness of a fishing rod.
"Boss, check out." He took out a handful of copper coins, one by one, and placed them on the table.
"It's fun, it's fun, it's getting fun." Chuckling, he smiled very happily, very cheerfully.
A carriage delivering vegetables stopped at the back door of Cao Cao's residence in Luoyang, and a man was carrying a basket of fresh vegetables down.
A middle-aged man with a greasy body around him immediately approached and looked at the vegetables in the basket. He didn't check it, just looking at the watery vegetables, he nodded with satisfaction.
The vegetable farmer who delivered the vegetables had sent vegetables here many times, and he didn't believe that he would be fooled at all. Otherwise, if he finds out when he is cooking, then next time, he will not want the food at all.
"Come, help the handle, help me move the food in." The cook greeted the vegetable farmer, and the two of them worked together to carry the basket of vegetables into the door.
As everyone knows, their every move is all in the eyes of the hidden person on the street corner.
Shaking his head, the man who was following the vegetable farmer had no idea what he had gained by continuing to follow him like this. Since a few days ago, several of them have been staring at the people who have entered and exited Cao's Mansion together, trying to find some clues from them. Unfortunately, no, nothing was found.
It's a lot of work, and every person who goes in and out of Cao Mansion, who has some contact, after writing them down. There will be other people to watch, one person staring at the other, tracing and tracking.
Like him, the task he is responsible for is to keep an eye on this vegetable farmer. It's been a few days, and he watches the vegetable farmers work at sunrise every day, go outside the city to harvest vegetables, pick vegetables from his fields, and in the following time, drive a horse-drawn cart to deliver vegetables to all parts of the city.
Every day is spent like this, and he has some inexplicable irritability. He didn't think that there would be any results if he continued to stare at it like this, anyway, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with this vegetable farmer, just a small person in the market who usually ran around for life.
The only thing he found strange at first, and he was extremely concerned about, was the time when the vegetable farmer delivered the vegetables. When he investigated further, he dispelled the doubts in his heart, and although it seemed strange, there was actually no problem.
The time for the vegetable farmer to deliver the vegetables is not fixed, or in other words, because his vegetables are freshly picked, and because the load of the carriage is limited, the vegetables are delivered to those large households in need in batches. One day, inside and outside the city, I had to go back and forth several times, and when it was Cao Cao's turn here, it was already this hour.
After waiting for a long time, the vegetable farmer soon came out, holding an empty bamboo basket in his hand. After throwing the basket on the horse-drawn cart, he picked up the horse and walked in the direction of the last few houses.
There were all kinds of questions in his heart, and there was an irritable man, who suppressed the depression in his heart, stepped on his feet, and secretly followed the vegetable farmer. He still has to complete the tasks assigned above, no matter how meaningless it seems, he must do it.
Because, that's the task.
"Sure enough." Xiahou Yuan, who was lying on the wall and secretly observing outside, looked at the person who left with the vegetable farmer, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He still didn't do it, because there was no point. As his eldest brother said, if you kill someone, you can only make them more vigilant and hide deeper, so you might as well keep these people in place, at least you can still see them.
Xiahou Yuan thought so, otherwise, according to his usual habits, he would shoot an arrow earlier and solve these sneaky people.
The reason why he is able to control his emotions and behaviors now is that he has completely listened to Cao Cao's words in his heart.
Along the wall ladder, Xiahou Yuan climbed down and landed in the courtyard.
"How?" Cao Cao asked.
"I didn't leave, I still kept an eye on it." Xiahou Yuan replied. He also felt a little chill in his bones because of the patience of these people. People who have the patience to do something honestly like this, and don't know how many times they have done it, are the most reliable kind of people.
At least Xiahou Yuan felt that he couldn't do the same thing as these people, otherwise he wouldn't be Xiahou Yuan either.
These people are not strong, in Xiahou Yuan's opinion. However, what Xiahou Yuan cares about is not the strength of their strength, but the forbearance they show.
Forbearance people are terrible, you have no idea when they will wait and how long, and when they will choose to do it. There is no way for people to be always vigilant throughout the day, and it is impossible to never be injured and not fall into a desperate situation.
These people will wait until this kind of time, at the right time, where they should be, and when they should start.
"In this way, sure enough, it's the same as the information sent by the Killer Building, it's a very tricky enemy." Cao Cao had a faint smile on his face, not showing any concern.
The enemy that is already known, there is nothing to fear, as long as you don't give them a chance and don't show your weaknesses. In Cao Cao's view, the most dangerous thing is always the enemy who is still hidden in the darkness and does not even show his fangs.
"It seems that they should be the group that assassinated Feng Xu and reminded the Ten Standing Attendants?" Candle Shadow stood nearby, nibbling on an apple in his mouth.
"It should be. Judging from the current situation, they should be the people of the Ten Constant Servants. After a deep groan, Cao Cao said.
"Click." Candleshade bites down on a piece of apple and chews it in her mouth until it breaks and swallows it. Only then did he open his mouth and say, "No, it shouldn't be the people from the side of the Ten Permanent Servants, they just chose to help the Ten Permanent Servants for some reason." ”
"Why?" Cao Cao asked. Looking at the half-eaten apple in Candle Shadow's hand, he grunted and swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his mouth.
"Do you want to eat?" Candle Shadow didn't answer, but another hand with his back reached out, holding an apple in his hand.
"Eat, why don't you eat?" As he spoke, Cao Cao had already stretched out his hand, took the apple from Candle Shadow's hand, didn't wipe it, and ate it directly.
This apple should be washed, even if it isn't, Cao Cao won't care. Anyway, there are more people who eat apples and don't wipe them, and I haven't seen anything wrong with eating. As for the habit of washing before eating apples, it is the habit of candle shadows, and after seeing too much, even before he eats any fruit now, he will wash it with water first.
"Click."
"Click."
There were two crisp sounds, and Candle Shadow and Cao Cao each bit an apple in their mouths and chewed it.
Xiahou Yuan's throat also moved, he didn't know why this was happening, inexplicably, when he saw people eating, there would be a faint sour taste in his mouth.
"Miaocai, you want to have one too?" Candle Shadow looked at Xiahou Yuan, and with his left hand, he took out an apple from the sleeve of his right hand.
This time, he didn't hand it directly to Xiahou Yuan again, he first wiped it on his sleeve before handing it out.
"Give. Eat it. ”
Xiahou Yuan did not move, and after looking at Cao Cao, under the latter's signaling gaze, he took a step and took the apple.
"Thank you, sir." After saying thank you, Xiahou Yuan raised the apple to his mouth, opened his mouth, and took a bite of it.
"Click."
"Click."
Two mouthfuls, just two bites, most of the apples disappeared into Xiahou Yuan's mouth.
"If they were the ones who served one of the ten, they wouldn't have been reminded like that." Candle Shadow scratched the side of her nose and said.
"Besides, the assassination was too easy. Since they have been reminded, they will also take corresponding precautions. It's impossible for people to die so easily. Therefore, they will not be the people of the Ten Permanent Servants, and they may not even have contact with each other, so they will choose such a cumbersome way. ”
Cao Cao on the side nodded, and before he knew it, he had eaten the apple in his hand until only the core was left. He looked down at the pits that had left many tooth marks, and in some places the small seeds within.
An apple is left, and only the last pit that is the most unpalatable and unedible is left. He didn't plan to eat the pits of the apples, but the remaining ten permanent servants had to die before he could be completely relieved.
"But don't worry." Cao Cao muttered to himself.
"It seems that they also threatened the relationship with the Killer Building, and the news from the Killer Building also said that it would be handed over to them to solve."
"yes." Candle Shadow smiled and asked again, "Meng De, can you put your mind at ease?" ”
"I can't." Cao Cao replied calmly.
He can't put his mind at ease, so he must be prepared to deal with it.
