Volume 3 The Walker in the Darkness One hundred and seven, the people who move in the dark

As soon as he walked into the door, Minter found that there were more than a dozen strange carriages next to him, which were very gorgeously decorated, but they exuded a vulgar atmosphere.

Further inside, he saw countless staff huddled outside the circus tent, peeking in, and occasionally letting out an exhalation of what they were looking at

The squad leader grabbed one of the patrol guards and threw the question to him, and the guard swallowed his saliva and said, "It's the Desert Flower Dance Troupe from West!" They were going to Encore to perform, and when they passed by, the carriage broke down, so they had to spend the night to express their gratitude, and they specially performed a song and dance, those girls were so beautiful, and the body was so good, the legs, the waist..."

He laughed very obscenely, the team leader was so moved by what he said, he wanted to take Mint to see it together, Minte frowned and refused the team leader to persuade again, the guard urged: "Captain, if you want to see it, hurry up, it will be their pillar Namu jumped soon, she is the most beautiful one!" The team leader hurriedly left Minter and squeezed into the crowd

Minter shook his head angrily, turned and walked to his lodgings, and suddenly it occurred to him that he had been absent for a day, and Esparo did not know what he had done, and after thinking about it, he turned to his tent, and when he saw that there was no one nearby, he leaned down on the small window and peeked secretly

Esparo was sitting by the fire, with a stack of papers in his hand, looking at it intently, turning the paper from time to time and jotting down a few strokes in the small notebook next to him

Minter wondered what was written on the stack of papers, and he had a feeling that it would be very important information, but how could he see it?

After thinking about it, he picked up a stone and threw it in the other direction of the tent, at this time most of the guards ran to the circus tent to watch the singing and dancing, only a dozen or twenty people patrolled around, and just turned to other places, so the surroundings were very quiet, although the sound of the stone falling on the ground was not loud, enough to arouse Esparo's suspicion, and when he heard it, he immediately put down the paper in his hand and went out the door to see what was going on

Minter had been staying at the small window at the back of the tent, and when he saw him go out and hurriedly perform a water mirror, reflecting the handwriting on the stack of paper, and at the same time pulling out a small brass telescope—the secret research of the Security Service—and seeing into the mirror, he hurriedly withdrew the water mirror and hurried back into the shadows

Minter hid in a nearby corner and thought carefully about the contents of the paper he had just seen, which was supposed to be a list, with several names on it, several of whom he knew, and who happened to be debtors who had visited today, and who had appeared in front of the temple at the same time

Strange riots, people who owe gambling debts to the Entertainment Oasis Casino, sudden money, and Esparo who has been living in the Entertainment Oasis and doesn't know what he's doing...

Minter felt as if he had grasped something

There was a commotion in front of the main tent, and Minte looked up to see that there was a large group of guards opening the way, and Mrs. Ziya and a few unknown landers were walking towards the main tent, he recognized that those strangers were wearing Nojia clothes, and knew that they must be the so-called local VIPs, and with a roll of his eyes, he walked out of the darkness and took advantage of the unpreparedness to blend in with the guards, standing on the side of the road like the others, and bowing his head respectfully

Coming to the Dinuojia people, the first is a young man of about twenty or thirty years old, with a dignified appearance, but his eyes are slightly frivolous, and he admires the performance he has just performed as he walks: "Especially the last dance, it is really amazing! That dancing girl... It's called Namu, isn't it? I can't believe that Wisa is so charming... Cough out, the artist has seen such a dance, and if he looks at other people's land before, he will feel bored, so what can I do? He glanced at Madame Ziya

Lady Ziya smiled and laughed again: "It's an honor to be a dancer to be appreciated by you, I believe Namu is a smart person who knows where to go best to use her talents."

The young man laughed: "Mrs. Ziya, I heard that you are a wonderful person, and you really live up to your reputation when I met you today," and twisted Ziya's cheek, and the latter was stunned for a while, and then his face turned a little blue, and he smiled reluctantly and invited the other party into the main account

Minter quietly raised his eyes and watched the young man walk by, and suddenly noticed that the man dressed as the secretary behind him was very familiar, and it was the man in gray who had mysteriously disappeared a few days ago, and his eyes suddenly widened

The man in gray frowned and looked at the young man, with a look of disapproval, and suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, and he hurriedly glanced around, but he didn't notice it, and as soon as he turned his head, Esparo was standing on the side of the road, holding a stack of papers in his hand, and nodded to himself He also nodded, and then Esparo came over and entered the main tent with him

Minter breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the other guards were standing upright, and did the same, but his eyes drifted in the direction of the main tent from time to time

The Grey Man actually came with the Nogars, and Esparo also entered the main tent, what did the group of them talk about inside?

At first, there were many young maids in and out of the main tent, holding wine jugs, fruit plates, delicacies, basins, towels and other things, and there were laughter and laughter in the tent from time to time, and soon all the maids were driven out, and the tent was quiet, Minter listened hard, and could not hear the conversation inside, and by the time the people inside clapped their hands again and summoned the maids in, it was already the middle of the moon

Minter was already tired after a day of running, looking at the other guards around, in fact, it was about the same, and there were people who saw that there was nothing important, so they sneaked away Minte thought that the information was important, so he had to barely support it, and suddenly heard the tent door curtain be lifted, Mrs. Ziya walked out angrily, followed by a Nick, and the two walked to the entertainment area Minte's heart moved, and quietly followed

Mrs. Ziya pedaled far away before she scolded: "What?!" Actually sent such a person! Could it be that those people in the north don't pay so much attention to this negotiation?! ”

Nick hurriedly sighed, looked back carefully, and then lowered his voice and said, "Are you crazy?!" That's a real kid of the powerful! What if he hears it? ”

Madam Ziya said angrily, "What if you hear it?!" In order to hide people's eyes, I specially drove most of the guests away, and arranged for the rest to be pestered, so as not to leak the news, but what about him? It's like making such a big row for fear that others won't know that there are Nojia nobles coming, and he wants to let the song and dance troupe from other places perform for him, and now he has the idea of a dancer, what does he think of me? ! Pimped him?! ”

Nick sighed: "He has gone too far, but he is a close friend of Prince Noga, we can't help but give face to the Noga people to play, it's not a strange thing, as long as you don't let people know his true intentions, these powerful children, of course they will look down on people like us, anyway, he just came to be a liaison and stayed only one night, you can bear it"

Although he tried his best to appease, Mrs. Ziya's face was still ugly, and she said, "What do you call us people?" We're not ordinary civilians now, we're powerful, and we're in charge in Monri! Even when it came to West, Hobe and Im didn't dare to give me a face! What's so great about an aristocratic gentleman? It's not a prince or duke—" She spoke more and more urgently, and her voice was high and pitched, very different from the softness she had heard that day

Nick hurriedly stopped her words, looked back a few more times, and whispered: "Okay, don't be angry anymore, endure this time first, and when the matter is done, the whole Weisha people will look at our faces, and who will dare to look down on us then?" He looked left and right at no one around him, so he softened his voice: "Zi'er, you just bear with it, it's all for our future."

Lady Ziya softened when she heard this, and walked towards the circus tent with a look of disgust, and Nick smiled and hurriedly followed

Minter flashed out of the darkness and exhaled, he seemed to have heard something inside

When Mrs. Ziya returned to the main tent again, in addition to Nick, there was also a young woman Mint who was with her, and when she saw her, she thought she was burning all over, and after a closer look, she found that she was actually wearing a fiery red light gauze dress, without a little jewelry and gold embroidery, it was purely a single tulle, tightly attached to the beautiful figure, from the neck to the feet, it could be regarded as tightly covered, but others could faintly see through the tulle The white and delicate skin inside As soon as she walked, there was a fine silver bell on her feet, A calf peeked out from under the skirt, white as snow

She is covered with a red veil, only revealing a small half of her face, you can see that her skin is fine and white, her hair is black and thick, and her big eyes seem to be able to speak

When Mint saw her, he guessed that she was the pillar of the Desert Flower Dance Troupe that Noga's "distinguished guest" and Lady Ziya had talked about

Mrs. Ziya looked at her with complicated eyes, touched her face, and was a little jealous in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended to be elegant and generous and said to Namu: "Your guest is in the tent, he is a real big man, as long as you serve well, it is better than dancing in the song and dance troupe for a lifetime."

Namu glanced at her with a smile: "Thank you, Madame, for reminding me, I have heard about you a long time ago, and I have always regarded you as a legendary predecessor. Well deserved"

Mrs. Ziya pulled the corners of her mouth uncomfortably, and took Namu into the tent, and after a while, she Nick Esparo and the person who had gone in walked out, the former had a gloomy face, and dropped a sentence: "Let's go, let's go, don't disturb the distinguished guests" and Nick entered another tent, and actually gave their tent to the guests, and the gray man and Esparo exchanged eyes and left together

Many of the guards yawned and dispersed, leaving the night shift to return to their posts, Mint thought about it, and went back to the tent to rest, and at three o'clock in the middle of the night, he got up, avoided the people in the same tent, changed into black clothes, found a black cloth to cover his face, and quietly touched the main tent

He could see very clearly, Esparo went in with the stack of papers, but when he came out, he was empty-handed, and the others didn't have any paper in their hands, so it was likely that the documents were still in the tent and the guards around him were not there.

He found a place in the left rear of the main tent that was covered by debris, removed the pile of obstacles, carefully cut the tent cloth with a knife, opened a hole more than three feet high, listened carefully to the movement inside, and squeezed in

The main tent was full of tulle, filled with a rich fragrance, Minte sneaked in the dim light, and saw a man and a woman sleeping on the big bed behind him, the man was the young guest, and the woman was Namu, both of whom were disheveled, and the latter also showed a small half of his fragrant shoulders, and on his snow-white skin, the bruises and finger marks were particularly obvious

Minter shook his head, ignored them anymore, and carefully probed the place where things could be placed around, and it didn't take long to find that in the small room separated by the curtain on the left, there was a beautifully styled box, one foot high, two feet wide, I don't know what material was made of the ground, it was actually a little warm to the touch, the lid of the box was painted with a gorgeous pattern, it looked a bit like a kind of Noga's unique flower Minter found that the lock at the door of the box was specially made, and could only be opened with a special key, thinking: It seems that this is a box used to place precious items, I wonder if that document will be in there?

He touched the lock and was about to look for the key, when he suddenly heard a chattering sound from the direction of the big bed, and hurriedly hid behind the veil and hid his body in the dark

A figure walked into the room, and by the dim light of the tent, Minter recognized it as Namu, who wrapped herself around her body with only a large scarf, looked back in the direction of the bed, and walked lightly to the box, took out a key, and opened the lock

She took out the contents of the box and looked at them, and Minter could see clearly in the dark, there were a few pieces of jewelry, two documents and the like, and a large bag of gold coins, and then, it was a document, and he suddenly held his breath to see what Namu was going to do

I saw Namu turning the documents page by page by the light, her face became more and more ugly, and suddenly she heard the voice of "distinguished guest" calling her from the side of the big bed, hurriedly put the documents back in the box and locked them, and then pulled back the key and walked towards the big bed

The young man looked at her suspiciously: "You didn't sleep in the middle of the night, where did you run?" ”

Namu said bitterly, "I'm just a little sad... In such an capacity, I met you in this kind of place, what should I do in the future? The thought that after tonight, I won't be able to see you again, I... I—" followed by her low sobbing voice

The young man was very proud, so he coaxed her, "What's so sad about this? Just come with me."

"But your family must be dissatisfied, right? I'm just a dancer..."

"It's okay, it's okay, they won't say anything" is just a dancing girl, and it's not a wife, and the young man hugged the beauty and touched it gently, and after a while, he became interested: "Beauty, let's do it again..."

Namu snorted softly, followed by gasps and moans, and Mint blushed a little, forced herself to pretend that she hadn't heard, tiptoed back to her room, gently pulled the veil to cover her figure, and then quickly touched the side of the box, touched the lock, and it opened

Minter shook the Xiaoice grain that was originally stuck on the keyhole, and secretly congratulated himself on being fast enough just now

Taking out the papers, he wanted to stuff them into the storage ring, but at the thought that the things would be gone, Minter paused, and with the help of the dim light, he flipped through the stack of papers

Who knows, the more he looks at his god, the more solemn this is not an imaginary agreement document, but a plan, from bribing hooligans, ruffians, controlling food prices, spreading rumors, to triggering conflicts between Van and A, and other countries, just the first few pages of content make people feel shocked, he remembered the riot that almost happened tonight, and sure enough, someone was behind it, but what did Esparo and the Noga people do this for?

Minter hurriedly lowered his head and continued to flip through, wondering if there would be an answer behind the plan, but he didn't notice that a hand stretched out in the dark corner behind him

(After writing the last sentence, I suddenly felt so cold...) )
