"It's almost time to do it. ”
After that, the Western youth took out a drawing from the table, spread it out, and calmly pointed to a few places, "Remember all the target portraits, let me repeat, our secret mercenary group has limited manpower, and it is impossible to eat all the prey." Therefore, we only guarded these few places that must pass through the eastern and northern cities, and plundered those rich and noble sealers. The time limit of the mission is two quarters of an hour, and when the two quarters of an hour arrives, it must be withdrawn no matter what happens. ”
"As for the scattered cultivation to the southwest city, leave it to our peers. I like an oriental saying that if you want a horse to run, you have to let it eat grass. We need them to distract the Seal Ministers from the city, so we'll have to give them something sweet. ”
"Haha, what the deputy head of the regiment said is reasonable. The tower man laughed, his tone was slightly playful, "No matter how you say it, we are all peers, since we eat fish and meat, we have to leave some soup for others to drink." ”
The thin man also nodded on the side and agreed: "Yes, as long as we get this vote done, then we will be completely rich, compared to them, they are at most mosquito legs, not worth mentioning." ”
When the young man heard this, he frowned and shook his head: "I have emphasized many times that the proceeds of this operation are secondary, and the most important thing is to make our secret mercenary group famous. If it weren't for the presence of Geng Qinghou, who is known as the little god hunter, I wouldn't have suggested that the target of our mercenary group be in Nightfall City. This is a challenge and an opportunity, as long as we can make this order in the hands of that Geng Qinghou and get out of it, the reputation of our hidden mercenary group will be greatly enhanced, and even grow stronger, and it is not impossible to become one of the few regular mercenary groups in the Eastern Continent in one fell swoop. ”
"Yes, yes, the lesson of the deputy head is that I am short-sighted. The thin man sneered, but the corners of his mouth were imperceptible, obviously his psychological thoughts were not consistent with his sincere attitude of admitting his mistakes.
Fortunately, his acting skills were good, and the other two didn't notice it. With a snapping sound, he closed his palms, and the tower man said excitedly: "Okay, whether our mercenary group is a Jackie Chan or an adult depends on the outcome of this battle." Dapeng! Beckoning brothers to gather and go!"
"Yes!"
After the Dapeng exited the door, the big man turned his head and said to the Western youth: "Just leave the matter of fighting and killing to us, and the deputy head of the regiment, you can stay here and sit in the dispatch." By the way, is there anything else you need to say to the brothers?"
is different from the thin man, as the head of the regiment, the tower man is obviously very respectful and dependent on this Western youth. The latter didn't object when he heard this, even if he was able to join this group not only by his brain, but also by his cultivation that was not weak, but he defined his team role as a military advisor, so where could there be a military advisor who personally swung a knife and slashed people? The painting style is obviously against the harmony......
waved his hand, "Everything that needs to be said has been said, and then it's up to the actual action." Well, the head of the regiment, you pay attention to remind them that they must retreat in time, then Geng Qinghou has the name of a little god catcher, and it won't be too simple to think about...... Oh, by the way, there's something, we agreed to before. The proceeds of this plunder were to be divided into 20% of the proceeds of this robbery, which was to my friend who worked at the Academy, and he had provided a lot of important information for this operation, and he deserved 20% of the reward. ”
"Don't worry, we are a regular mercenary group, and we won't break our promises. Dahan patted his chest and assured.
"Well, I'm here waiting for your good news. ”
"Haha, it has to be!"
......
There are not many things in this world that can be called complicated, but because some people want to be complicated, things are complicated.
Let's ignore the hidden mercenary group in this small building that intends to make a big news, and don't mention the old Fan and his party who are silently observing from the outside, let us turn our attention back to the protagonist Ye Xi.
First of all, it is necessary to introduce the Nightfall City again, just like the towering walls that stretch to the end of the perimeter, the area of the Nightfall City is very large, very large, and it is not like a normal city. That's why Lu Qianqiu's comment when I first met - compared to the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not much better!
It is precisely because of this that when the restless Eight-Tone Heavenly Machine Instrument was about to play a bell symphony on its own, the carriage that Ye Xi was sitting in still did not leave Xicheng District.
It's fast, though, just a few more blocks, or just a long alley...... It is not difficult to understand this, as mentioned earlier, the classical style city has the most miscellaneous lanes, which destroys the beauty of the overall layout of the city. But from another point of view, it is also convenient for people to shorten the distance and reach the destination quickly.
Hong San, who is driving, is now faced with these two choices, one is to walk along the main road, the road is in good condition, but it will take many detours. The second is to pass through the side roadway, and the road conditions inside can of course only be considered average, but it is a shortcut.
Well, it's not an option. As long as he is familiar with the terrain and does not get lost, normal old drivers will choose to take shortcuts and laneways, and the same is true for Hong San, so he almost didn't think about it, so he naturally drove the horse to the middle of the lane.
Just like life choices, sometimes we don't even realize we're making a choice, but we're actually on a fork in the road.
There is also light in the lane, which comes from a kind of closed lard lamp hanging on the pillar or wall tree, which does not enter the wind and rain, and the effect is similar to the street lamp in the modern world, which is part of the urban construction. Of course, in the dirty alleyway, these oil lamps will not be well protected, and there are many natural predators, such as death-seeking birds and birds, and naughty bear children. Basically, every few of them, you will see a ruined and broken lampshade.
Fortunately, not all, so the carriage is not barrier-free.
About the time he walked to the middle of the roadway, Hong San, who was driving, squinted his eyes slightly, and subconsciously pulled the reins to slow down the car, because under the broken lamppost in front of him, there was a faint shadow of an object, like a person, and it was like a standing sack, and he couldn't see it clearly.
Click......
It was a person, and as the crisp sound of horses' hooves approached, Hong San was sure that the vague outline was a person, dressed in gray clothes, with his hands folded around his chest, leaning against the wall, motionless, like a poor homeless man sleeping here.
There are many homeless homeless people in the city at night, Ye Xi has been a homeless person for a few days just now, and he also rests in the corners of such lanes at night. And even if it was sparse and ordinary, Hong San should have retracted his gaze and passed by safely in a carriage. In fact, Hong San did the same, but after just a few breaths, as the distance between the two sides became closer, he couldn't help but cast his eyes over, and he felt a little more inexplicably in his heart......
Sympathy, pity, of course can't. Don't look at Hong San's current identity as an ordinary coachman, he is also polite to Ye Xi. But on another occasion, he is a powerful thug who carries a red cloth machete and makes his fellow enemy gangs tremble!
Hong San couldn't say what it was like, but he vaguely sensed that the other party didn't look like an ordinary bum. So after he glanced at it, he couldn't help but take another look, and it was under such constant gaze that the dark alleyway, the dim lights in the distance, and the clattering of horses' hooves, the distance between the two sides narrowed by one zhang.
At that moment, the homeless man moved, folded his hands and spread them out, as if in the most ordinary act of yawning. But Hong San's pupils suddenly contracted sharply at this time, and he clearly saw that the other party spread out his palm, and there was a repeating crossbow bow, and the sharp arrows were pointing steadily...... Subconsciously jerk the reins,
Hiss -
"It's finally here. ”
Whoosh -
