Under the moonlight, in the sparse forest.

The two men in black hurried over, and as soon as they reached the edge of the forest, they heard a cuckoo cry from inside.

The man in black, who was slightly taller, replied with a cat meow. The voice was very complaining, and I learned the charm of the wild cat's spring!

A middle-aged man with an ordinary face came out of the forest and said to the two men in black: "You guys are late." ”

"I'm sorry, my lord has a few more words, so I delayed a little. The man in black said, but his eyes swept to the young man who followed behind the middle-aged man: "Who is he?" ”

"He is a 'quail', and he deliberately followed me to recognize the way, and maybe he will take over my shift in the future. The middle-aged man said.

"Cuckoo, are you going to do it?" asked the short man in black.

"Cuckoo" is just a code name for a middle-aged man, just like he said "quail", which means that the young man's future code name will be "quail", and the real name is irrelevant.

Cuckoo smiled, "Maybe I have to do it for another two years." This quail brother, just prepare in advance. Quail, this is a wild cat, this is a donkey, get to know it. ”

"Hello both. The quail nodded at the wild cat and the donkey.

Of course, these two names are just code names, not really called wild cats and donkeys.

The wild cat took advantage of the faint moonlight to take a closer look at the quail, and found that although he was the same as the cuckoo, he was unobtrusive, but his eyes were clear and deep, and he looked very calm.

"Brother quail, isn't that what he is, why do you want to change his face?" asked Donkey suddenly.

The cuckoo smiled and said, "Because the quail is the new son of my master, and he will take over in the future, it is not suitable for too many people to recognize him." ”

"Yoshiko, don't we know when you say that?" said Donkey, puzzled.

"How do you know if what I'm saying is true or not? The cuckoo said indifferently.

"That's right. We brought things, this time it was still iron wall bricks, there were five pieces. Wildcat pulled out five swarthy bricks from his storage bag.

The cuckoo took it over and inspected it carefully, and also used the divine thoughts and spirit stones to check whether it was in good condition and usable. It wasn't until the five iron bricks were inspected that he nodded and said to the quail, "Give them salt, a total of 1,000 catties." ”

The quail took out the storage bag and was just about to take the salt, when he asked the donkey to wave his hand and stopped: "Wait, this time a thousand catties of salt will not work." ”

"What do you mean? You want to sit on the ground and raise the price?" said the cuckoo with a sinking face.

"Don't get me wrong, we don't mean to sit on the ground and raise prices. It's just that now we need more salt, so a thousand catties is not enough. Calling the donkey explained.

The cuckoo sneered, "You need salt, so it's not called a price increase?"

"Everybody knows why you're buying bricks. Tell you the truth, this is the lord of your city?"

"Does this have anything to do with the price increase? You don't think it's good, you can not sell it, but how can you say that the price is good?"

"Don't get so excited, listen to me. You buy bricks just to defend against our attacks, and I know that, and my lord knows that. But we're willing to sell it to you, because we have no intention of attacking Overwatch Valley. I say that, do you understand?"

"Your lord said this, but it doesn't count. "The cuckoo doesn't save face at all for calling a donkey.

"Hehe, so we need to work more deeply. Before we come, the Lord asked me to invite you to meet him and discuss this matter, but I wonder what you two think?"

The cuckoo did not say yes, nor did he refuse, and he looked inquiringly at the quail, who had been quiet.

The quail nodded, and said to the donkey, "Then go and hear what your master has to say." If it's not too much salt, we can call the shots. ”

"Well, because in the past, the price was negotiated directly by the cuckoo, so we and the Lord both know this, otherwise we wouldn't have invited you to meet. "Wildcat Road.

So the four of them all cast the magic and rushed all the way to the plain city five miles away.

From a distance, Plains City seemed to be a huge shadow in the night, exuding an oppressive atmosphere.

Unlike the Overwatch City, it was surrounded by high walls, and at night the gates were closed tightly.

Led by the wild cat and the barking donkey, the four of them were still some distance from Plains City, and began to circle to the south.

When they arrived at the south gate, they saw that although the heavy city gate was also closed, there was a small gate above the city gate. The wild cat knocked on the little door, and learned a charming cat meow, and the little door opened silently.

After the four of them did not enter the city gate one by one, the small gate closed quietly.

The night was dark, and Plains City had already fallen asleep. The streets were darkened, and if it weren't for the moonlight, it would still be dark.

The crowd walked through the darkness and shadows, and finally entered an alley. The alley was flanked by high walls, and it was not until the end that a side door was seen on one side.

The wild cat continued to open the door with a cries of spring, and led the people through several courtyards, until he stopped in front of a lighted attic, and said to the servant who was guarding the door, "Go and inform your master that the man he is waiting for is coming." ”

The servant nodded, and before he could go in, he heard hurried footsteps from inside, followed by a young voice: "Come, please come in!"

Immediately afterwards, a young man in a gorgeous brocade robe appeared at the gate.

With a smile on his face, he couldn't hide the deep worry between his eyebrows, and said to Cuckoo, "This is Mr. Cuckoo, right? ”

Telling the donkey to bow his head, the attitude of his own master is really not good. Before the negotiation began, the other party could see that he attached great importance to this matter, which would be very passive. But he was always the master, and it was impossible for the donkey to speak out at this time.

"Let's all come in together. The brocade-robed young man looked at the other three again, and said without any.

"Yes. The wild cat and the donkey saluted first, and then followed the brocade-robed young man into the attic with the cuckoo and quail.

As soon as you enter the door, you will find a small hall on the first floor, and you will see that there is a table inside, on which there is a pot of wine, a wine glass, and a few dishes of chicken and pickled fish. It seems that before everyone arrived, the brocade-robed young man had been drinking and waiting for them.

"Just sit down. The young man in the brocade robe said to everyone: "Come on, remove the residual wine and replace it with new wine and food." ”
