Chapter 14: The Man Who Passed By

One news after another, although a few demon warriors were killed, the number of kills is not much, but I can't stand the news coming too much, just one day, there are hundreds of such messages, if you add up the number of people on it, then the number of demon warriors killed is a very considerable and frightening number.

When it was night, all the generals in Crescent Moon City knew the final number, more than three hundred demon warriors were all killed in one day, and they had already attracted the attention of the demon army, more than three hundred demon warriors could already form three patrol squads, if you want to eliminate such three squads, in the ambush state, you need more than three times the number of soldiers to be able to do it, and it can only be regarded as a miserable victory, and casualties are almost inevitable.

But judging from the news at hand, it seems that the reconnaissance battalion of Crescent City has not even suffered a single casualty, and the strength of the Crescent Moon Army can be imagined.

"It's not bad, there are still three days to go, the demon army will besiege the city, how is the defensive position outside the city wall doing?" Lin Nian put down the battle report submitted by the reconnaissance battalion and began to inquire about the defense, Leka stood up and came to the map around Crescent City and drew a line with his baton and said: "According to the requirements of His Highness, four lines of defense have been built here, each of which has a different number of troops responsible for defense, and now the position of the defensive line is still being excavated, and it is expected to be completed in two days." ”

"There are many people and there is great strength, only by doing a good job in this defensive position, can I give full play to my ability, okay, this is the end of today's meeting, His Highness wants to go out for a walk, you all go down." Lin Nian ordered, after everyone got up and retreated, Lin Nian waved away everyone and slowly came to the street, the curfew has been implemented in Crescent City, the vendors on both sides of the street are closing their stalls, and the rest of the soldiers are people who are in a hurry to go home, but Lin Nian clearly saw that everyone's face has a trace of vague uneasiness, their steps are hurried, their expressions are pale, and their eyes are slightly sloppy, which is particularly dazzling in the footsteps of the staggered patrol soldiers.

Lin Nian paced step by step, the people around him saluted when they saw the mask on his face, and then left at a faster speed, and soon there was no one on the main street, at the beginning of the lanterns, Lin Nian looked left and right and felt bored, so he made up his mind to go to the city wall to see first, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was not right.

The young man is not very old, about fourteen or fifteen years old, although his face is full of sweat, but he is also a young man with clear eyebrows, if he smiles a little, it gives people a feeling of spring breeze, but this young man is now looking at the empty road with a sad face, if you still have to walk in this weather, it is really a fool.

But if there is no such fool, he will not have a salary today, and for the sake of wages, the young man still expects someone to come in and have a cup of tea. There was no way to see the road, and the young man had to look at the boss who was sleeping on the counter with some helplessness.

The boss is slightly fat, and he doesn't know what's going on, and he has been sleeping on the counter since he opened in the morning, so there is no business in the morning or noon.

If you sleep again, will there be no business in the afternoon?

When the boy thought so, he found that the boss had already gotten up from the table, opened his fluffy eyes, and stretched a long lazy waist, but his five short figures, stretching his lazy waist is really not very beautiful, but it is funny, the bamboo chair is shaky, I am afraid that it will be crushed to pieces by the boss at any time.

The boss is funny, and the teenager doesn't dare to laugh, if the boss is angry, today's salary will definitely be deducted.

"Boss, are you awake?" the young man walked quickly to the boss and respectfully handed over a bowl of water, there was still a shredded tea leaf floating in the water, and it was naturally good to have some tea when he just woke up.

However, the fat boss didn't appreciate it, a pair of small triangular eyes slanted slightly, and a breath of heat erupted from the rosacea, bringing out a humming word that made the boy tremble.

"You actually put tea leaves in the water?" Seeing the young man's confused expression, the anger on the fat boss's face was even stronger, and he stretched out his fat white hand to take the bowl of water with only one tea shred, and the fat boss snorted coldly, and then opened his mouth to drink the water in the bowl, but kept the tea shreds.

"Boy, you have to have a smart head to work by my side, this tea is very expensive, and it has to be reserved for the guests to enjoy, wouldn't it be a waste to drink it yourself? Go, get me a kettle!"

The boy looked at the boss, but he couldn't match the fat boss's stern eyes, so he turned around and took a large light white teapot from the wooden square table, the pot was empty, and there was not even a drop of water, so it was very light, and the boy did not have a lot of trouble holding it.

"Remember one thing, the best must be reserved for the guests!" After speaking, Boss Wu carefully picked up the tea leaves in the bowl with chopsticks that were only a little thicker than a hair, and then slowly put them into the teapot, as if what he was holding in his hand was not tea, but a treasure worth a thousand gold.

Seeing the tea leaves lying intact at the bottom of the teapot, Boss Wu sighed with relief, as if he had just fought with someone for hundreds of rounds, a pair of small triangular eyes narrowed slightly, and his red face was full of pride.

"Boss, isn't it good to always do this?" The boy knew that this was the first process, and then the boss would use hot water to brew tea, and then drip the strong tea juice brewed with tea residue in the pot, so that the tasteless water became a little tea-like, but only one drop in a pot, not one more drop!

This kind of tea is drunk, in fact, the tongue can taste some tea slightly, and the nose can never smell it.

It's really not broad at all, it's extremely stingy, and half of it has to be counted well.

"Boy, I understand, this is business, get the maximum profit with the least cost, and this is the case in the world. After speaking, Banzi looked at the sky and said, "Oh, yes, it's a good time to drink herbal tea when it's so hot, why don't you even have a team of darts?"

Darts, is specialized in escorting items for people, to undertake these business is the dart board, because the escort things have a time limit, plus, no matter where there are some bandits who cut the path, so the profit of the dart is large, but it is also more dangerous.

The robbery of the dart is the most feared thing in the dart game, so the dart head of the dart must be strong in martial arts, cautious and quick to react, after all, a careless, not only tired of the reputation of the dart board, but also lose their lives.

On this official road, there are a lot of teams that usually walk darts, even if it is wind, frost, snow and rain, they can't stop the footsteps of the dart walkers, but today there is really something wrong, if there are darts far away to see the guise of the roadside teahouse, it should come over soon.

Since the opening in the morning, there has not been a single person, not even a single pedestrian, and this situation is not abnormal, but a little weird.

"Xiao Muzi!" Ban Zisuan's face suddenly became a little serious, and then he turned to look at the young man who was pouring water into the kettle, the young man called Xiao Muzi was stunned when he heard it, and at this time, Ban Zisuan's face had begun to become ugly, "Mu Mu, don't fill the water, close the stall!"

"But boss, it's just past noon, it's not good to close the stall, isn't the business done?" Mu Mu looked at the half-way man whose face had begun to become hideous with a puzzled face, and he didn't know why he didn't do a good business, but closed the stall at this time.

"If you close, it's closed, what nonsense!" After saying that, he had already started to pack up his things, and Mu Mu looked at the boss in surprise, with a look of disbelief. You must know that usually these jobs are done by yourself, and today's sun comes out of the east, yes, why did the boss start working by himself?

Could it be that something is going on? But what can make Banzi directly plan to close, and he will not close the stall until the sun sets.

Having said that, since the boss has closed the stall by himself, he naturally can't be lazy, although he has doubts in his heart, but the work in his hands has not stopped.

In less than a quarter of an hour, everything was packed.
