The next day, early in the morning, in an ordinary tavern in Xicheng District.

The location here is not remote, but it is definitely not lively, and the tavern is basically doing the business of acquaintances around, which can be regarded as a living business. However, this early in the morning, naturally no one will come to drink, so most pubs will choose to open at noon.

But the tavern was now half-opened, and the chubby shopkeeper walked out with a smile on his face. Of course, he had reason to be happy, because someone had paid a lot of money for half a day's light time here, and all he had to do was to experience what it was like to open a tavern.

These people are crazy, but let's let there be more such crazy people...... The chubby shopkeeper thought so, then shook his head and went back to rest steadily.

He wasn't worried about the tavern at all, it wasn't worth it in the first place, not to mention that the other party had paid a high deposit. Even at some point, he thought about whether to run away with this deposit, but thinking that the young man with an ordinary face yesterday had lightly pinched a gold coin into a gold bean in front of him, he wisely dispelled this idea of looking for death.

As soon as he thought of this, the chubby shopkeeper swept a familiar figure walking quickly from the corner of his eye, his body was excited, and then he reluctantly smiled and waved his hand: "Hi, sir, good morning." ”

Don turned his head, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and responded politely: "Good morning...... Well, take a walk?"

Shaking his head, "No, just go back and rest." Oh. The door to the tavern was open. Your companions are cleaning up there. ”

"Xiexie! I'm so sorry. ”

"Sir is so gracious, well, then I wish you a beautiful morning. ”

"Hah, I hope so. ”

They greeted each other, and although the other party was polite, the chubby shopkeeper still picked up his pace slightly after turning to leave, wiping the sweat from his forehead......

Looks like it really scared the hell out of him yesterday...... Don shook his head and chuckled as the chubby figure quickly disappeared around the corner. Then he turned and walked briskly towards the tavern.

There were a dozen or so people in the tavern tidying up, and everything was piled up in the corner, except for a long table and a dozen wooden stools left in the middle of the tavern.

When Don came in, the old man behind the counter wiping the table and pretending to be the shopkeeper nodded kindly. That's Ba Lao, but now it's Ba Lao in disguise. When it came time to negotiate, all the people who remained in the tavern were disguised.

There is no way, all the people who can be here at that time are high-level personnel of the secret agency, and if the face is remembered and the portrait is drawn, then the work will basically not be able to be done in the future. So Don's free time these days. It's all used as camouflage props.

Fortunately, except for him and Josia, it was only a partial disguise, otherwise everyone would have a whole face. A week may not be enough.

After greeting Ba Lao, Don walked over to Josia and sat down, and said, "Get ready, the other party has already set off, and will be there in about fifteen minutes." ”

The stakes are high, although the other side brought up the negotiation first, and it should not be played at the beginning. But they didn't dare to be careless, after all, if this place was besieged, the secret agency would be wiped out. So Zuihou or Don En personally ran to make sure that the other party did not ambush the soldiers.

Josia nodded, took a deep breath, and looked around.

The work of clearing the stream was nearing completion, and these men would withdraw later and take up arms to guard the perimeter. The long table was a patchwork of two tables, of inferior material, with some old dirt and greasy, but just long enough to seat seven people. In addition to Donne, plus Pa Lao behind the counter, and Div, who pretended to be a waiter, were all the high-ranking members of the secret agency. This is an institution that I created and is now on a mission...... This tavern is very ordinary, but who would have thought that this place carries the long-cherished wish of hundreds of thousands of people who have lived and died in the gray army for more than ten years......

Nervous, excited, excited...... A lot of emotions are mixed in everything, forming a distraction. Call...... Exhaled a breath of turbidity, swept it away, turned his head to Don and smiled, "It's finally this day." ”

Probably able to feel Josia's thoughts, Don nodded and said, "Well, it's finally this day. ”

With a smile on his lips, Josia turned his head and lifted it slightly, his face returning to a calm and watery composure.

Hehe, everyone is growing...... Don looked at Josia who was calm and relaxed, and then remembered the gains and losses during the first blackmail negotiation, and couldn't help but sigh slightly. Just as the gray army is growing with each passing day, this girl from a small aristocratic family in a southern city, leaving behind everything that others dream of, such as superior life and noble status, came to the desolate north alone to seek her dream, and now she has finally changed as amazingly as a butterfly.

Fifteen minutes is not a long time, the clean-up work has been completed, the tea from the back end has not cooled, the right temperature, curling green smoke.

"It's coming!" said Div, who was dressed in a waiter's costume at the door, and said suddenly, probably because of nervousness, his voice was a little high-pitched, and he dragged out an epilogue.

But no one laughed at him now, because everyone here was more or less nervous except for Donn.

If you care too much, your emotions will inevitably be affected. And Tang En has seen too many battlefields of life and death, and his mental quality has long been tempered. Of course, more importantly, he doesn't pay as much attention to negotiations as Josia and others, so naturally he doesn't care much.

Josia stood up as usual, her lips curled slightly: "Let's go, although I don't want to see those hypocritical faces for a few more seconds, but people come all the way, and we always have to greet them symbolically." ”

“haha......”

It's not a clever joke, but it works well here. With the laughter, everyone's mood was soothed a lot, and the tense atmosphere was also swept away.

Seeing this, Diff at the door stroked his forehead, and laughed at himself without a face: "I said that I was so embarrassed just now, it turned out that I had seen you for so many seconds more than you." Alas......"

“haha......”

......

On the street in front of the tavern, more than a dozen luxurious carriages and hundreds of heavily armed cavalry approached at a constant speed.

"Is this here?" Simpson picked up the curtain of the car window, looked at the houses on the street, frowned, and pouted, "Untouchables are untouchables, and they didn't pay attention to such an important negotiation in such a broken place?"

"It's the negotiation that matters, not the environment!" Sir Simpson. Of course, Ronald would not eat such a low-level provocation by the other party, and said calmly, "Moreover, I have to remind you." We are the main force in this negotiation. So, whatever you think in your heart, please don't use the term "untouchable" in the negotiations. Otherwise, you have the right to monitor us, and we also have the right to interfere with the negotiation of your expulsion. ”

"Snort. Simpson scoffed disapprovingly, and turned his head, "Are they not pariahs in your hearts?"

"Even if it is usual, but negotiation is not. ”

Shaking his head, Simpson squinted: "You new nobles are really willing to do anything for the sake of development! But, hehe, inferior pearls can never be set on the crown." Just as they couldn't help you later, now they're so nervous that they can't even forget their last name......"

Before the words fell, a faint daxiao voice came from the front. The curtain on Simpson's car did not fall, and it was clear that it was coming from the target tavern.

Spreading his hands, the corners of Ronald's mouth curled slightly: "Obviously, it's not nervousness." ”

"Hmph!" was slapped in the face at the scene, Rao is Simpsons City Mansion is quite deep, and the old face couldn't help but get hot for a while, snorted coldly, and lowered the curtains.

Now that laughter can be heard, the distance between the two sides is not far away.

In a moment, more than a dozen luxury carriages stopped more than ten meters in front of the tavern. Before the people on the car got off, the more than 100 cavalrymen rushed out in two wings, and the trend was clearly to surround the tavern. Immediately, the speed of more than a dozen cavalry in front of him did not decrease but increased, and they collided with Josia at the door with a fierce momentum.

"Damn it......" Div's face changed, and he reached out to touch the knife. But the wrist was grabbed by Josia in an instant, "Don't be impulsive. ”

Tang En pursed his lips on the side, reached into his arms, and muttered in a low voice, "What an old-fashioned dismount ......" When he stretched out, a crossbow appeared, aiming at a dozen cavalrymen who were close to five meters away.

Hiss......

A horse neighed, these knights were subconsciously tightening the reins, and the front hooves of the war horses were raised high, as if standing up, and then fell heavily.

Obviously, this action was supposed to be played in front of Don and them. In this way, as long as it is a normal person, if you are caught off guard, you will naturally panic. In this way, the purpose of dismounting the horse has been achieved.

But between the lightning and flint, unexpectedly, he took out a crossbow very unobtrusively. Now, it was their turn to be caught off guard. Fortunately, these people are very good at riding, and there are no handsome movements that seriously damage morale such as rolling off the horse.

At this time, from the direction around the tavern, there was also the neighing of horses. It is clear that the knight's flank encirclement tactics also encountered difficulties.

Originally, the address this time was chosen by Josia and the others, so they planned to take advantage of the home field, how could they let the other party counter-surround them.

Kicking and kicking, the cavalry a few meters away dismounted neatly, strode forward, and reached the door.

"Get out of the way, in order to ensure your safety, we have to go and search first!"

How could the people here be obedient and get out of the way, they all blocked the door with their hands and shoulders, as if they hadn't heard of it.

The cavalryman at the head frowned, stepped forward again, stretched out his hand and pulled, "Give me ......"

The voice did not fall, and he sneered...... There was a rather strange sound, and the horseman's outstretched hand, from the fingers to the gauntlets, to the shoulder armor, covered with a layer of ice at an extremely fast speed.

"Magician!"

The exclamation was followed by the continuous sound of the sword half-unsheathed.

Josia turned a blind eye to the knight's fierce movements, and stepped forward and said coldly, "Tell your lordship." In the back room, you can enter if you want, but you have to be a negotiator. As for you, sorry, not qualified enough!"
