Chapter 9: The Conspirators

readx;? It's not dark yet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Viper taverns are endless.

Marginal merchants, adventurers, and non-believers, all of whom gather here to eat, drink, and have fun, and let the smell of tobacco and alcohol fill this well-ventilated and not very good place, with dancers writhing their sexy bodies on one side, and fighting shouts in the ring on the other side, where people's shouts, cheers, and strange screams are intertwined, although the scene is noisy and decadent, but the decadence is full of order.

The gray-robed old man walked into the tavern, tall and very lean, with a goatee, plain but very neat and clean, like an old scholar, wearing a big hat and covering most of his face.

"Sir, your booking is ready. ”

A young waiter walked by, he looked very young, his long hair was tied up in a simple ponytail at the back of his head, and his eyes were very agile, giving people a lively and clever feeling.

The old man with the goatee bowed slightly, his eyes kept wandering and observing the surroundings, and finally his eyes lingered slightly on the viper who was bartending in the bar, and the viper just raised his head to look at him, and the two of them avoided it as soon as they touched it, leaving no trace.

The waiter led the old man with the goatee to the private room by the window, where he brought a delicate silver jug of wine and a few plates of appetizers. These foods are all fine in the sandbank camp, but the old man with the goatee seems to be in a lack of interest.

"The small ones don't disturb the adults' dinner time. ”

The old man with the goatee put his hat on the table, his gray hair hanging down, he didn't look too old, but his wrinkled face gave people a feeling of bitterness. There was a prickly feeling in his gaze, a mixture of anger, pain, anticipation, and a hint of morbid madness.

This kind of person feels very bad, his surface calm and peaceful is like a lake, but in fact, he is covering up the volcano at the bottom of the lake, and no one knows when this volcano will erupt.

About an hour or so, a tall, hook-nosed, bald man walked in.

He walked around like an eagle with an extremely sharp gaze, and finally handed a note with the number of the private room written on it to the tavern, and the young waiter immediately led the middle-aged man towards the private room without saying a word.

When the hook-nosed bald man walks, it seems to be very slow, but it is actually very fast, if you look a little more closely, you will find that his walking steps are meticulous and delicate, especially when passing through the crowd, he does not touch any stool legs, nor does he touch any corner of his clothes, like a ghost floating silently and quickly, leaving no trace.

A true master!

The boy with the bundled hair pushed the door open.

The hook-nosed bald man appeared in front of the old man with a goatee, and when the old man with a goatee saw this man, his eyes suddenly showed excitement, and he quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Lord Vulture!"

The man, nicknamed the Condor, looked at the old man with the goatee and said, "Old Luo, I haven't seen you for a few years, you look too old too fast." ”

"People will grow old after all, aging is not terrible, the most afraid of old and inaction. The old man with the goatee sighed bitterly, and he waved his hand to the young man beside him, "You go down." ”

The waiter looked at the hook-nosed bald middle-aged man and then at the old man with a goatee, bent down respectfully, and closed the door with both hands when he withdrew.

The vulture said to the old man with a goatee: "Don't insist anymore, your health is not good, go back with me this time, you have contributed enough to the organization in the past 20 years, there is no need to put the rest of your energy and time here, you should also have your own life." ”

"Life? My life has long been ruined. The old man with the goatee shook his head and said: "The biggest wish in this life is to look forward to the day when I can watch the destruction and collapse of Tianyun City, if I can really see this scene, I am willing to pay whatever price I pay, what is it to be dormant for decades?"

The vultures make a silencing motion.

He slammed his feet up and pushed the door open, looking left and right, but finding no suspicious target. He saw that the waiter with a ponytail was walking away, and he was also slightly relieved.

"Rest assured, Lord Vulture, there won't be anyone eavesdropping. The old man with the goatee stood up, no matter what, it was better to be cautious: "This tavern owner is a man with a lot of background, and without his help, I wouldn't have gotten this important information." ”

"You say this tavern owner, can he be trusted!"

"It's hard to say, one thing is certain, his position is definitely not from Tianyun City's side, otherwise, with what he has done and those collections, I'm afraid it will be enough for him to die ten times or eight times, let alone help me get such important information. ”

"I trust your judgment. The vulture nodded to the old man: "Is the information on you now?"

The old man slowly took out a black cover book from his arms and handed it to the vulture: "It's all here, this is the main defense map of Tianyun City and the position of the squad leader and above of the city defense legion, a total of more than 1,500 middle and low-level officers and their backgrounds. ”

"It's rare, it's so rare!" Vulture picked up the black booklet like a treasure, and he hurriedly flipped through the contents: "With this information, we can make a plan to infiltrate and even invade Tianyun City, Lao Luo, you have really made a great contribution!"

The old man with the goatee said gloomily: "We have spent years and lost more than thirty companions for this information, and they are the real heroes of this inheritance. I only hope that one day, this information will be useful and this damn place of Tianyun City will be completely razed to the ground!"

Vulture simply flipped through it a few times, although it was only a cursory reading, but judging from the contents, he was sure that the authenticity and accuracy of this information were extremely high. It must have taken a lot of effort and experience for this old man to complete such intelligence gathering, and a lot of sacrifices were inevitable in the whole process, which was really not easy.

"Stop being stubborn, come back with me!"

"Everyone has their own battlefield, as long as this war does not end for a day, I will not retreat from the front line, I am still needed here, I don't want to be a deserter, you should understand me. The old man with the goatee was not moved, "But since I am here this time, I would like to recommend a few young people to you, these people are all new talents that I have discovered in my dormant years over the years, as long as they are sent to the headquarters to be cultivated well, they will inevitably become our weapons in the future." ”

The vulture sighed.

He also knew the old man's temper.

Although the old man was reluctant to go back, he recommended a few talents, and the vulture absolutely believed in the other party's personality, since it was the person he recommended, it must be very reliable.

"It's almost time. The old man took out a pocket watch and looked at it: "Follow me." ”

At this time, the waiter, whose long hair was tied into a ponytail, wandered around the tavern boredly, only to see the old man with a goatee and the hook-nosed man quickly leave the tavern. He was slightly startled, put his things down, and chased after him quickly with light feet.

The old man with the goatee had already calculated the time.

Now is the time when the number of people in Shazhou Camp is the highest, and after the two people left the tavern, they walked into the crowd and disappeared without a trace in the crowd almost instantly. When the boy chased after him, there were several intersections of different sizes in front of him, and he didn't know which direction the other party was coming from.

............

A few minutes later.

A small abandoned warehouse.

The air was full of dust, and the smell of musty was even more permeaty.

The remnant candle struggled in the wind to resist the darkness with a faint light, just like the old man in front of him, he wanted to send a little more light and heat to the world before he ran out of oil and lamp.

"These are the young people I recommend. ”

The old man with the goatee stood in front of him six people, the youngest of whom looked to be in his twenties, and the oldest who was in his early forties.

"They are all elite talents that I have been lurking in this marginal place for decades to engage in secret intelligence activities. Everyone has the experience of life and death with me, and each of them has unique skills, whether it is training to become an intelligence officer or a front-line soldier in the future, they are all partners who can be entrusted with important tasks! I can guarantee this with my life!"

The vulture nodded: "Since it was personally recommended by you, I will definitely introduce it to the leader of the wolf sword." ”

"Wait!We're leaving, what are you going to do?" a middle-aged strong man with a black-backed knife walked out, "I'm following you, and I won't leave if you go!"

"I'm not leaving!"

"Me too!"

The vulture was slightly moved when he saw this, these are all peripheral members of the Dark Core Society, and every peripheral member dreams of entering the real headquarters, especially these people who secretly perform intelligence missions in the marginal places, if they can be honest and worry-free, who wants to live like a mouse.

Now these people are willing to follow this old man and are willing to give up the opportunity.

"People will die one day, but faith will not be annihilated. The old man with the goatee smiled with satisfaction, he raised the candle that was almost burned out, and lit a few new candles to brighten the dark abandoned place, "As long as the flame of faith continues to pass, it will eventually form a prairie fire, why do we regret that we will die?

The six looked at each other.

The vulture was surprised and asked, "Do you have any other plans?"

The goatee old man nodded: "The defense map of Tianyun City shows that there is an inconspicuous loophole in the defensive enchantment, give me a little time, if it is confirmed that the loophole exists, as long as the loophole is used to release poison gas weapons, it can wipe out tens of thousands of people in Tianyun City in one fell swoop, thus giving Tianyun City an unprecedented heavy blow." ”

When I say this.

The old man's expression became a little eerie.

Vulture never thought that hatred could force people to such a point, and the only belief that this old man had to live was to destroy the entire Tianyun City. But the plan was very interesting, just as the vulture was about to ask in detail.

Dangdang!

A small bell shook gently.

The voice, though very crisp, pierced everyone's eardrums like a poisonous needle.

"Not good!" a man at the door stood up with a changed face, "There's a sneaky figure approaching, and I suspect we've been exposed." ”

Without saying a word, a silent black man lifted a huge firearm from behind and folded it, took out two bullets twice as thick as his thumb from his chest and stuffed them into the gun.

Rumble!

It was like an impact unleashed.

The wooden door of the small warehouse was directly smashed.

A figure outside was hit on the spot, screaming and being beaten upside down, falling heavily to the ground, such a powerful shot, even through the thick wooden door, nine times out of ten it would be dead.

"Oops!" The old man with the goatee's face changed greatly: "Vulture, you go first!"

"Then you ......"

"Now is not the time to think about this!" the old man with the goatee shook his head and said, "You should know the value of this information, you must send it to the leader of the wolf sword no matter what, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain!

As soon as the words fell.

The men didn't have time to react, only to hear the screams of the wind and rain, and from the windows and wooden walls in all directions, there were constant blows, and sharp arrows spilled in, covering these people in an instant.

"Hide first!"

The vulture kicked over a table in front of him, and the wooden table was nailed into seven or eight thin arrows in the blink of an eye, and the others sought cover, and a young man could not dodge being shot in the eye, and immediately fell to the ground with a wail.
