Chapter 497: The veteran is out
The sun is gradually setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the town of Haisha in the setting sun, covering this displaced and devastated town with a layer of blood-colored sand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the town's only hotel, the hall was empty, except for a few adventurers gathered around a square table, clustered around a young man with dark hair, craned his neck to read the letter in his hand.
Under the gaze of everyone, He Jinshui gently tore open the first letter, opened it and looked at it, and immediately laughed.
"Boss, what's written on it?" Everyone was puzzled, but they were itched by He Jinshui's appearance, and they all shouted out to know what was going on.
Elena sat next to him and saw it clearly, only to see a line of small words written on it: "Today is the day to make an appointment to meet, I can't imagine that you kid broke his promise and got fat! Hehe, in order to show that you have a little more memory as a punishment, you have to give me another ten silver dollars, otherwise my old man will strike!"
"This old man is really rascal and unkempt!" He Jinshui patted his head and shook his head helplessly, and then opened the second letter. It is also written in small print, which is slightly more than the previous word count.
He Jinshui looked at it fixedly, and read out softly: "Wow, it's the second day, and the old man's anger is full! You have been released pigeons for two consecutive days, and you are so idle that the old man is in a panic! Tell you, the old man has dozens of coins every minute, and after getting on your thief ship, he puts a lot of silver and doesn't make money, and he actually comes to play hide and seek with you, which is a big loss." Hehe, you have to lose my money, just um, 100 coins, plus three bottles of high-quality monkey drunken wine, otherwise the old man will pat his ass and leave. Don't roll your eyes, I know what the idea is, tell you, as long as I hide and don't miss my whereabouts, you will never find it in the future!"
"Poof!" Elena and Eminja laughed in unison, hugging each other and tears pouring out of their eyes.
Seeing that the boss was deflated, the second general laughed even more happily, and Torres also laughed with the two little monkeys, until He Jinshui glared at them fiercely and forced the smile to shut up.
"It's still Lance who is obedient and smiles to maintain the dignity of the boss, I have always trusted you the most!" He Jinshui looked at Lance sitting calmly, with a very calm face, and couldn't help but stretch out his thumbs and give him a big thumbs up.
"Boss, I'll go out for a while. Lance's little face suddenly swollen red, and he stood up without He Jinshui nodding, and hurriedly walked towards the door. As soon as his figure disappeared from the door, He Jinshui suddenly heard a burst of giggling, the voice was bohemian, accompanied by the sound of stomping feet and clapping hands, and He Jinshui's teeth itched with hatred.
"Hahaha, hey, knock!" came a plop, and the voice stopped abruptly, and the owner of the voice seemed to gurgle and roll down the steps, and the companions were stunned for a moment, and laughed even more happily.
"Grandma, a bear, this is big, who is this!" He Jinshui's head was bruised, and then he took a deep breath and touched his nose a little unnaturally.
"This old man, it's really kind!" Hum Ha Er's eyebrows flickered, he couldn't help but stretch out his thumbs and admire in unison, and his mouth couldn't help humming "Turn over the serf and return home".
Today, I finally have a long experience, even if I have always boasted that my skin and flesh are as thick as humming two generals, I feel that compared with this old man, I am ashamed of myself, and I am simply a natural extortion and extortion stick, and I can make the boss eat turtles, which is simply too happy.
"This old thing, oh no, this old hero is really, hehehe......" He Jinshui couldn't help but laugh, and opened the third letter with a strange smile on his face.
He thought that this letter was still a good braggart chat, with a casual smile on his face, but after reading two sentences just now, he immediately became serious, his brows began to wrinkle slightly, and his eyes widened involuntarily, only to see that it read: "Boy, a major discovery! Today, when the old man was chivalrous in Haisha Town (ps: He Jinshui automatically interpreted it as cheating and drinking!), his peerless demeanor actually attracted a few strange people to come over for questioning. They spoke with a foreigner's accent, and their faces were not good at first glance, and when they saw that I was the only one, they came over and said that they were very interested in my spells, and that they could join their gang if they wished, and that there was a lot of good wine and meat!"
"It's really weird!" He Jinshui read this, and couldn't help but nod and secretly wondered: "There have been so many things in Haisha Town recently, and people are already panicking, the official has sent a large number of additional security personnel and border guards to guard the town, how can there be gangs from other places who are not long-sighted, the old man's suspicion is reasonable!" Thinking of this, He Jinshui continued to read.
"These guys are so instigating that they want to drag me into their ranks. Hehe, the old man has seen a lot of wind and waves, how could he be blindfolded by these guys, Lao Tzu neither refused nor agreed, under the pretext of thinking about it again and waiting for the opportunity to secretly probe, to see if these guys have anything to do with that matter!"
"There is a door!" He Jinshui patted his thigh hard, and immediately opened the fourth envelope, only to see that only a few big words were written on it: "Find out the truth, I have joined the gang, the inn will be later, waiting for the opportunity to meet!"
"This old man is really powerful, he really deserves to be the temple of the town house artifact, haha!" Seeing that things were progressing, He Jinshui was overjoyed and thought to himself: "Since he has successfully penetrated the enemy's interior, then we just need to wait patiently here and wait until the matter has the latest progress before deciding!"
Thinking of this, He Jinshui carefully folded the letter and quietly put it into his bag. He looked up at the sky, and saw that the night was falling, so he got up and walked to the counter, patted the snoring shopkeeper, and said, "Boss, prepare a first-class guest room, we will rest here tonight." ”
At the same time, in a cave somewhere in the wilderness near Haisha Town, there were twists and turns, cool and gloomy, and there was a platform not far from the entrance of the cave, with water droplets dripping on the rock walls around it, and a small square table was placed in the middle, with a few lit candles on it, and a few chairs with backrests around the square table.
Several mysterious people wearing leather wallets and black cloth on their faces sat around with gloomy faces, and discussed things in low voices.
Sitting on the main seat was a tall masked man, who looked very fierce, and a sharp scar was cut from the corner of his left eye to his right lip, and the scar looked particularly hideous when he spoke.
"Brothers!" the scarred man coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, waved his fist and said in a deep voice: "The big deal is about to open, how are you ready?"
"Boss, everything is as you wish, there is no problem on our side!" Sitting next to him was a bald man, with a fat brain and a big waist, standing up with a giant ball with a height of seven feet and a waist circumference of seven feet, he opened his big mouth and touched the shiny head, nodded and said with a smile: "My side has already connected with those mysterious envoys, they are very satisfied with the arrangements of this trip, and they are also fully prepared, saying that they can start the operation tonight, and they will definitely be rewarded after the completion of the matter." ”
"Good!" Scar Leader nodded, turning to look at the one-eyed dragon next to him. This is for the old man, whose hair and eyebrows are a little gray, and after seeing the leader's signal, he quickly got up and arched his hand: "We are also ready, according to the boss's instructions, a large number of brothers are arranged to lurk around the barracks, so that we can have a full view of all the activities of the army." If they hear the wind and dare to do it, we will find a way to surprise them. ”
"You have to use your brains more to find a way, don't be hard!" The scar man looked nervous when he heard it, and said with some unease: "They are bandits, and we will definitely suffer a big loss in a head-to-head confrontation." ”
"Don't worry, you don't know our scheming boss!" The one-eyed dragon smiled, his eyes flashed, and he patted his chest and said: "Of course we won't fight hard, just prepare rolling logs and rocks in the canyon that the barracks must pass through here, as long as they block the entrance after dispatching, as long as they can delay their actions for half a day, it will be done!"
"Very good, I'm very satisfied!" Scar Leader relieved himself, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, shifted his gaze to the last of his subordinates, and asked in a deep voice, "Fourth, how well have you gathered information, and which area should we attack tonight?"
It was a small, withered man, wrapped in a black cloth with only two eyes exposed, looking very mysterious, and dressed as the standard equipment of an Assassin. When he heard the boss shouting, he immediately got up and spread out a map on the table and presented it to everyone.
"Boss, the location of the act has been determined, and the envoy is also very satisfied!" The fourth elder pointed to the map and said: "After more than half a year of our activities, the population of Haisha Town has disappeared from ten, the young and middle-aged people have disappeared, and a large number of troops are stationed here, and it is not only easy to be found if you want to start here, but also it is not cost-effective, so it is not recommended to set up the place of plundering here." ”
"Oh, where is the right place to go?"
"Here!" the fourth elder pointed to a flat area next to Haisha Town, and said gloomily: "After our days of inspection, this is the most suitable place to start, it is located in a large village between Haisha Town and Haiyan Town, called Taiping Village.
"Taiping Village?" Scarface frowned and thought for a moment, then asked in a deep voice: "What is the situation in the village, how many people are there, let's hear it!"
"This village has developed into a large village due to its developed business and superior living conditions, so the population is rich. Although there are a lot of panicked people in Haisha Town, there is basically no impact here, and it is still a peaceful paradise!"
"We have already found out clearly, there are no less than seven or eight hundred young people in this village, and there are even more old people, women and children, it is definitely worth starting!" Old Siyin measured a few laughs, and then said: "This village has not encountered any danger, so there is nothing to be wary of at all, if you are ready to start, you will definitely be able to catch it!"
"Very good!" Scarface nodded, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any powerful strange people in the village, or some large mercenary group?"
"Boss, you can put a hundred hearts!" The fourth laughed out loud, patted his chest and said: "We have checked repeatedly, except for the rough hunting outside the village, the rest are some mud-legged croppers, there are absolutely no powerful characters, and there are no mercenary groups stationed here." ”
He touched the short sword on his waist, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed between his eyebrows: "When we move, we will ambush in the dark to observe the progress of things, and as long as we find something abnormal, we will take decisive action to eradicate all possible dangers in the cradle." Saying this, he sneered twice and gestured with his hand to make a downward cutting motion.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, the scarred man's heart was a lot more steady, and the whole person leaned back to change into a comfortable position, gently tapping on the edge of the table to think about each step, and the other hand unconsciously touched the scar on his cheek.
This is a memorial left by his young robbery, and he was almost killed by an officer and soldier with a slash. Since then, his personality has changed, he has become far-sighted and forbearing, and he has failed to win but first defeated, and the city government is extremely deep.
Seeing the boss like this, all his subordinates knew that he had committed the old problem of being suspicious again, and they didn't bother him, just sat there quietly, holding a teacup and drinking non-stop.
The bald man had a thief smile on his face, and seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull at the moment, he squeezed his eyebrows and prepared to tell a yellow joke to pass the time for everyone, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a sparse sound outside.
"Who's out there, get in!" the Scar Leader shouted, and stood up with a fierce look in his eyes, his eyes winking at the third one-eyed dragon.
The latter comprehended, waved his hands and recited the incantation, and a fiery dragon roared all the way out along the rock wall, burning past in one go.
A wave of heat rose, enveloping the dark hole in flames, illuminating the vicious eyes of several people.
The rock walls began to sizzle in the heat, then emitted a scorching smell, and finally turned red, conspicuous in the darkness.
"Stop!" the Scar Leader snorted, patting the third child on the shoulder vigorously in appreciation. After the heat at the entrance of the cave gradually dissipated, everyone came out of the cave and found a black wolf whose bones had been burned to slag and could barely be seen, with a burning stench all over his body, apparently dead that he could no longer die.
"It's a wolf, boss, you're too worried!" the subordinates were relieved, and immediately giggled and joked to the scar leader.
Scar's face sank like water, and there was no expression on his face, and he returned to his seat in silence, knocking his knuckles against the edge of the table with a clattering sound.
After a while, he stood up, as if he had made a great determination, and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone is fully prepared, let's rest for the night and start the action tomorrow night! Lao Tzu only has one sentence, this thing is only allowed to succeed, not to fail, who dares to slack the wrong thing to do a good thing, Lao Tzu picked his skin!"
