Chapter 732: Hiding Eyes
The banquet continued into the night. As is customary, the banquet lasts until the next afternoon.
After Chen Tianci and Lu Mengqi had a banquet late at night, they quietly left the venue and entered the manor.
They walked down the hallway, all the way in one direction.
Not long ago, Chen Tianci learned a piece of news. In the mountains behind the manor, strange things are discovered.
Chen Tianci and the others walked closely for a while, and after avoiding the other people in the manor, they quietly came to the location provided by the shadow guard.
This is a rockery for the manor garden. There are strange rocks piled up all around.
The location is extremely remote.
But it's such a remote place, and now there are many people coming and going.
These people, Chen Tianci, looked at them from a distance and found that many of them were pirates who had arrived in the town at the same time as him.
What are these people doing here?
A thought suddenly flashed in Chen Tianci's mind.
Could it be that they gathered here under the pretext of a banquet to come here?
He lowered his voice and said to Lu Mengqi: "I'll go check and see what they are doing." You go back first, keep an eye on the people inside, and evacuate immediately if something happens. ”
Lu Mengqi knew that she couldn't help with this kind of thing, so she nodded and went back the way she came.
After Chen Tianci informed the shadow guards to pay attention to protecting Lu Mengqi's safety, he activated the stealth ability and quietly walked to the crowded place.
He stepped closer and squeezed through the crowd.
"Ouch." One person exclaimed, "You eight calves, what are you pushing!" ”
The man looked back at the man behind him.
The man behind him was inexplicable, but not to be outdone.
"Lao Tzu is pushing you, what are you going to do!" The man replied.
The two immediately quarreled with each other, and there was a tendency to disagree with the imminent war.
The people who were waiting before and after hurriedly persuaded them.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. It's just this time a year, and if you miss the time, you won't be able to get this year's share. If you two really want to fight, take it slowly. A few of us are still waiting to go in and get our share. Someone persuaded.
"That's right. Every year, the banquet is only held for a small time, and once the time is over, you have to leave. We are all clear about this rule. You two are taking the wrong medicine, and you will delay this time in a panic. Someone accused.
Chen Tianci, who was hidden in the crowd, raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that what these people said had a deep meaning.
The annual banquet is a public event in the Golden City.
All those who have an estate in the Golden City will gather here. It's something that everybody knows.
But these pirates had gathered at this time, and it seemed as if they had come to collect something.
What did they come to receive?
This question had not yet been answered, and another question flashed in his mind at the same time.
Isn't the main purpose of the annual banquet in the Golden City to cover up the situation where the pirates gather?
As soon as this question flashed, Chen Tianci thought that it was very possible.
From the conversation between the few people just now, he vaguely sensed this possibility.
The two people who were arguing behind them were dumbfounded by the persuasion of the people around them, and the two of them each glanced angrily, staggering the order before and after.
Chen Tianci saw that there was no new news to listen to, so he continued to squeeze forward slowly.
There were too many people, so Chen Tianci had to use the method of squeezing and slowly moving forward. However, if teleportation is used, because the internal situation is not clear, if you enter it rashly, I am afraid that it will be exposed immediately.
And teleportation and stealth at the same time will cause a lot of spatial fluctuations, where there are many people and many masters. If someone is not careful, I am afraid that they will startle the snake and scare away the people here.
Therefore, Chen Tianci slowly squeezed forward all the way.
When he squeezed to the front, a gate appeared in front of him.
A few benches, a few tables and chairs in the door, very simple. One of them sat behind the desk with a pen, and from time to time someone stepped forward and said something. Chen Tianci took a closer look and found that the person behind the case turned out to be Wang Qingshan. That one of the Wang family members made Chen Tianci extremely impressed.
Sure enough, it's the Wang family.
What are they doing here
With questions, Chen Tianci slowly leaned forward and listened attentively.
"This year, I attacked and killed 20 merchant ships in Pearl City and seized a number of supplies. Robbed ten patrol ships in Blue Leaf City and seized a number of weapons. An attack on a patrol boat in Heping City was not captured, but the enemy retreated. One person reported to the man after the case.
Wang Qingshan nodded, lowered his head and wrote a book. Then, he threw the man a token and said, "The Lord appreciates your honest and hardworking attitude, you can go to the No. 1 library to choose your favorite exercise cheats, and someone will explain it to you later." ”
There was ecstasy in the eyes of the person who had obtained the token. The people behind him also showed envious eyes.
Chen Tianci heard some signs.
As the next person continued to step forward, Chen Tianci heard another report.
The content is still how many merchant ships were attacked, how many supplies, weapons, and so on were looted.
And after Wang Qingshan recorded, he also gave different rewards. However, the content is still mainly based on the cultivation of exercises.
When Chen Tianci heard this, he had already heard the roll call.
The people of the Wang family are probably using the secret books of the exercises as bait to lure these pirates to work for them. The pirates did so by robbing more merchant ships and raiding more patrol fleets.
And the period of this performance is once a year. At this time of year, these pirates are brought together under the guise of a banquet.
It is no wonder that there are so many ships coming and going this time, and it seems that this is not the reason for the prosperity of trade, but the time for the Wang family to commend the pirates.
That's why so many pirate ships come to the ship docks.
No wonder. Chen Tianci thought to himself. He had guessed that it was the prosperity of trade in Shake Gold City, which brought a lot of merchant ships back and forth here, which seemed to be a wrong guess.
The real reason for this is probably that it is time for the secret meeting between the Wang family and the pirates.
The abominable royal family. Chen Tianci listened to the pirates' reports one by one, and the anger in his heart became stronger and stronger.
It was the secret agreement between the royal family and the pirates that caused the piracy to be rampant and difficult to cure.
Now that he has definite information, Chen Tianci has decided to immediately launch a large army to bulldoze this hateful golden city.
But just as he was about to leave, he heard Wang Qingshan mention the word Lord again.
Lord? The Lord of the royal family?
Chen Tianci's footsteps paused slightly and stopped. Is it difficult for the Wang family or is it a pawn of others?
As soon as this thought appeared, Chen Tianci immediately stopped.
Things may not be as simple as he thinks. Behind the Wang family, who is hidden?
That person should be the crux of the matter.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianci decided to start with this Wang Qingshan in front of him.
