Chapter 874 Two or three things

In the evening, the night rains are as dark as the night.

At such times and such climates, it is not suitable to go out. Of course, this only refers to ordinary people.

The wind and rain are mixed, and the night is like a curtain. Although it is inconvenient, it is also a protective color for some special professionals to come out to play, such as gangsters, mercenaries, nightingales, etc. For these people, if they are not in a hurry to do things, they will usually go to a relatively fixed place of entertainment - taverns, big and small in the city, and all kinds of taverns!

In the south city, a tavern hall was brightly lit, and the two movable wooden doors could not completely cover up the crowds of people inside. Hearing, urging, cheering, and the clothes mixed in it exposed the woman's screams from time to time, mixed with the smell of alcohol and smoky smoke.

This is the most lively time for the tavern, and if nothing unexpected happens, such lively will last at least until the early morning.

"Drink, drink... Alas, I said, Lao Ba, what happened to you today? You are so disappointed that you are not so arrogant all night!"

"Is it because there is an old lover here, but the caravan will set out tomorrow, so I'm worried that I can't explain it, right? Haha..."

"Bah, why are you so stupid!"

"I was so angry that I was embarrassed, haha..."

...

The four big men at the wine table in the center of the hall were talking. They were burly and muscular, and they were not simple characters at first glance. Combined with their words, they should be accompanied by a passing caravan or a mercenary hired by the caravan.

The big man who was being teased, as he saw that he could not argue with his companions, suddenly became a little annoyed. "Shut up, you guys. I'm thinking about it... Damn it. It's really a bit weird to think about it!"

"Evil? How to say it?"

After hesitating, the big man raised his head and poured a large bowl of wine, then thumped and put it down again: "Have you heard of Tang En?"

"Tang En...Which Tang En?"

"Nonsense, which Tang En do you mean? You have been a mercenary before, of course, the guy who was wanted by Bran and the Temple throughout the continent."

Tickling his head, "Oh, he. There is such a person. The wanted portrait is still hanging on the top of the guild task cards... Tsk tsk, that bounty is really tempting! It seems that as long as you provide clues, you will have hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Do it! If I happen to meet him, I will be a nonsense guard..."

"That, I seem to have met him."

"What!" There was a loud bang, and the table was hit, and the wine jars and bowls were shaking, and just punched the wine table. The noisy and lively tavern hall suddenly became quiet due to this movement. The eyes gathered from all directions.

"Uh... Sorry, everyone. Sorry, my friend is a little drunk..."

At this time, no one who came to the tavern would be good at it. It would be better to have less trouble than to have more things. A big man quickly got up and sat down with his companions, waved his hands from all sides to show his apology.

It's not a big deal. Since I have already apologized, even if I have a bad temper, I will just mumble and curse. Soon, the tavern hall returned to its original atmosphere.

He breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "What are you so excited about? Don't I say anything anymore? I just seem to have encountered it, and I can't confirm it yet."

"I was excited and excited. You continued to say, tell me in detail, where did you meet it?"

"Actually there is nothing to say... We are going to settle in the city today. The leader said that it might rain heavily tonight and we wanted to spend the night here, so he asked me to go to the city to find a cheaper hotel. I looked for people everywhere, but I accidentally met him in the square in the city. After chatting for a few words, he said he was not a local, so he couldn't help me, so he separated."

He paused and grabbed his forehead, "I thought he was familiar at that time, but I couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, so I didn't think much about it. Later, I found the hotel and went out of the city to find you. When I saw the wanted notices posted at the city gate, I suddenly thought of him... In the afternoon, I took the time to go to the Mercenary Guild. Fuck, the more I looked, the more I looked, the more I felt like it, so I was a little stunned..."

"It's really him?" The man who was excited just now was a little excited again. Then he thought of something, looked around carefully, then lowered his voice and said excitedly, "Provide clues with hundreds of thousands of bounties! Lao Ba, you are going to send it!"

"I've said nothing to say." A wry smiled, and the man shook his head. "If I followed him at that time, I confirmed that it was Tang En. Then I touched his place, that would be a clue. How do you tell me now? I've met Tang En in this city, but now I don't know where I am, and I'm not sure if it's him... It's not nonsense. It would be strange if the security hall and the church took care of me. It would be nice if I didn't treat me as a gangster who cheated on me."

"Oh, that's right, that's a pity..."

"It's a pity. If it's sure it's Tang En, then I would rather not have the commission from this business group than stay in the city and try my luck. But now... I don't have that life, so I'd better earn our hard money honestly."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it...Drinking, after drinking, you will have to get up early tomorrow..."

...

The big men didn't stay here for long. After drinking the wine in the wine jar on the table, they stood up and left the pub while they were slightly drunk.

And as they just opened the door and left, the middle-aged man sitting at the next table drinking a drink, suddenly looked up at the wooden door of the tavern, showing a bit of unconcealed excitement, and murmured to himself: "The wanted criminal... Tang En... Haha, I didn't expect that I would come out to drink a drink casually and have such gains. It's really... God blessed!"

He drew a praying gesture on his chest without sincerity. The middle-aged man grabbed the wine jar on the table and couldn't wait to get up and leave. Almost at the same time, the guests at several tables next to him were also pushing the table and getting up.

After a pause, they looked at each other for a few times, and they all understood something from each other's vigilant expressions. The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle. The middle-aged man who stood up first showed a few bitterness on the corners of his mouth, spread his hands, moved his lips slightly, and said silently: "Good luck."

"Good luck." He also nodded silently, and the atmosphere was eased, and then several people hurriedly left the tavern.

It was self-evident that since this news was destined to be unsavory, then I will find Tang En one step ahead. However, what they did not expect was that a conversation scene like this was now happening in various taverns in the city, or near guilds, where news circulation was constantly being staged...

The drizzle was intensifying, and it fell from the sky above the city. At this time, in all corners of the city, undercurrents were also constantly surging...

...

Dongcheng District, aristocratic house.

Betsy stood behind the wide floor-to-ceiling window, held his hands, quietly staring at the dark night outside the window and the water traces sliding down along the smooth crystal glass wall, and was stunned.

This state is not common in her. In the past, she was the most favored noble lady. She didn't know what sorrow was. Later, she was a strong family business woman. Although the responsibility on her body became heavier, she also learned how to restrain her emotions, and her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were not revealed.

But now, her mood was very chaotic, and her mind was like raindrops outside the window, floating and falling to where she fell... She didn't think about taking it back because she wanted to use this to recall some things, some things that happened during the day...

Is it him? He used a dagger and his voice was very similar. He was about the same height, but his appearance was completely different... By the way, he used to be very good at disguising... The most important thing was his personality and speech habits. He seemed to be nagging, but even sounded a little funny. In fact, he was casually crazy and wantonly cruel... It was him...

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong, the wooden door behind him was gently knocked, and instantly pulled back Becky's reverie. He took a breath, turned around, his expression calm, and he was completely stunned.

"Come in."

"Miss." It was the middle-aged guard, with rain dripping from the legs of his shoulders. He obviously had just rushed back from outside. "According to your request, everything has been arranged. Now the news about the wanted criminal has almost spread throughout the city."

"Okay." Becky nodded gently and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. Everyone will receive hardware coins. I will consider the money I have to ask everyone for wine. But I can't drink this wine now, so I have to trouble you, Uncle Luo, to arrange for them to return to the family overnight. Well, let them remember that no one can spread this matter."

"Okay, I'll do it now." He simply turned around, but hesitated when he went out. The middle-aged guard named Uncle Luo couldn't help asking, "Miss... why do we do this?"

Meeting Becky's calm eyes, he continued, "We will leave tomorrow, there is no need to cause trouble. And even if the wanted criminal is really in this city, it has nothing to do with us, right? In doing so, we will not only not get any benefits, but may also be held a grudge by the wanted criminal, this..."

While hesitating, Betsy said, "It's not worth the loss, right?" Shaking his head, "Uncle Luo, I have my reasons, I'm sorry I can't tell you. Also, postponing the trip, we won't go back tomorrow. I made an appointment with Annika to go shopping in the afternoon."

"Don't go back? The master asked..."

"Tomorrow, send the cooperation agreement document back and let the other side take over. If my father asks, he will say that I will need a few more days to contact the person in charge of the Yatang Merchant Group to establish a good relationship for future cooperation."

Listening to Becky's orderly arrangement, the middle-aged guard knew her persistence. He was silent for a moment, bowed back and said, "Yes, Miss."

The door closed again, and Betsy also took off the majesty of the superior at this moment, turned around, looked out the window again, and plotted silently.

If he continues to disguise, with his ability, even if I mobilize thieves in the whole city, it will be difficult to dig him out... It seems that I need to change my thinking...

Those who are known here are Allen, Philip, and the half-dead Winsling... The first two should be friends with him, and the latter is in a jealous way with him... Well, then Winsling is the best breakthrough. Unfortunately, he has left the city with Philip and disappeared. Now only Allen is left... If it is really him, then his current identity is a wanted criminal. Even if Allen knows, he will not tell anyone... a threat of indirect attack? No, I have no evidence. Doing this may very likely alert the enemy and have a counterproductive effect...

Be careful Betsy, he is very cunning. This time you must be careful and patient, and you must not leave any clues...

After thinking quietly for a while, he stretched out his palm and pressed it on the cold window wall, blocking Becky's blurred face. A faint sigh slowly echoed in the room, "Sorry, Annika, sister can only use you this time..."

...

West City, small hotel.

Xia Wei'an woke up very late. When she opened her eyes, she was so dark that she didn't know how long she had been sleeping. This was the most stable and deadly sleep she had in half a month. It caused her to stare at her eyes widened for a while before she remembered that she was no longer a prisoner. She was rescued.

Thinking of this, I also remembered Tang En. I turned around and found that the other party was not by the pillow, and I remembered the place I am now, and the absurdity of the afternoon...

With a moan, she felt the strange and slightly painful feeling in her lower body, and her head buried in the bedding again, "...You are going to die, Xia Wei'an... I'm saying anything, I don't know how to be ashamed..."

"It's still proactive..."

"I can't stand it yet. I made that shameful voice..."

“Ahhhh…”

...

After a moment of confusion, OK, our Xia Wei'an children's shoes are still strong after all. We quickly adjusted our mentality and even thought about the ridiculous scene. "Is this what you said about doing that? It's not very beautiful and joyful, it hurts... Well, it's a little bit comfortable... But this is not the point, the point is that I, Xia Wei'an, didn't look for an old man, although I have almost done someone else's love like you. People..."

I talked to myself for a moment to face the empty bed, as if I was talking to someone, distinguishing something. If I were to see this, I would probably think I saw a madman. But if I let someone who knew Xia Wei'an see it... I should think I was crazy.

OK. Regardless of whether others were crazy or not, at least Xia Wei'an was in a good mood at the moment. Her vision gradually adapted to recover. Only then did she realize that the room was not dark, and there was a layer of light yellow outside the thick curtains.

Turning his head, the light became more obvious. It should be because there was a light on the table in the room outside the curtain. Thinking of this, Xia Wei'an slowly raised her arm and leaned towards the curtain, wanting to open it.

Lifting a little height, her arm suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then hesitated and swayed up and down, and the speed seemed to have accelerated a little. Xia Wei'an looked happy, knowing that the effect of the restriction was slightly reduced. This also means that her strength level is improving, as if she is about to break through...

Of course, martial arts are subtle, and the so-called breakthrough is actually inaccurate. Maybe it will take a month, or maybe it will come naturally in the next second.

After a while of joy, Xia Weian reached out to the curtain again... the length was not enough, so she slowly turned around, as if she was doing decomposition slow motion. It was enough again, touched the edge of the curtain and slowly split it to the side.

The light poured in, and a small oil lamp was indeed lit on the wooden table in the center of the room. The wick should have been adjusted, and the flame was very small, so it would not be too bright, which would affect sleep or something.

Seeing this, Xia Wei'an smiled a little on the corner of her mouth. Although it was an inconspicuous little detail, it was enough to make people feel warm.

I didn't expect that he was quite careful...

Just as he was thinking, a creaking sound was gently pushed open from outside. Tang En appeared outside the door with a tray of food that was emitting a smell of hot food. He looked at each other, stunned, and said with a smile: "Awaken? Haha, it seems that you are lucky and you can eat hot food."

When Xia Wei'an saw Tang En again, her cheeks couldn't help but flushed slightly. Fortunately, the room was not very bright and she couldn't see clearly. She nodded subconsciously and waved: "Well...ah!"

With her right hand opening the curtain, Xia Wei'an could only greet her with her left hand. Just now, her left hand was supporting her body. When she took it away, she couldn't help but lean forward, widened her eyes, exclaimed in a low voice, and watched as the edge of the wooden bed was getting closer and closer to her forehead...

This is so embarrassing!

"Be careful." Close your eyes, the expected pain did not come as expected, and your forehead hits a soft spot. How fast Tang En was. Although it was just a moment of breathing, it was enough to get him to the bed. He also put the tray firmly on the wooden table, and then reached out to hold Xia Wei'an's forehead.

"If you have something to do, just let me come... Uh?" Before he finished speaking, Tang En looked at the curtain that was pulled off by Xia Wei'an as his head. He was stunned for a moment, looked down at the bed, and subconsciously leaned over to pick Xia Wei'an up in his arms.

Boom-bang-

The broken wood chips mixed with dust rose in an instant, and the wooden floor trembled. A few screams came from outside the door, as if they were shouting for an earthquake. Then the door opened and the sound of stomping on the stairs quickly rang out.

"Cough cough..." Huahuahuahua, lifted the curtain, Tang En, who was a little dirty, stood up with a grimace, and looked down at the collapsed bed beneath him, and for a moment he was speechless.

After touching his nose, Tang En thought: "We...uh, is it so intense in the afternoon?"

"Dangdang... Of course not, next afternoon... the bed is old..." In this case, a woman's face is always thin. Xia Wei'an blushed and made a few words, then buried her head in Tang En's arms and pretended to be an ostrich.

Tang En nodded seriously: "No wonder there are so many dusts, they are indeed old. Hiss-" He took a deep breath and his mouth was straight. Although he didn't look up, Xia Wei'an's fingers were still lingering accurately on Tang En's waist, and said in a muffled voice, "Shut up!"

Of course this is a joke. Perhaps the bed is a bit old, but it is definitely not enough to collapse if it is created. The main reason is that Xia Wei'an's body is restricted, but it involves weight, even if it is just virtual and temporary, I think no woman is willing to admit that she has collapsed the bed.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong, the door was knocked, "Boss, are you inside?" Mixiu's people lived downstairs, and of course they would not think it was an earthquake. They judged that something was wrong with the upper floor, and they immediately found it. Of course, Tang En was here, so they would not be too nervous, otherwise they would have broken into the door long ago.

"It's okay, bed... hiss... Well, there's some small problem. Go down and find the store to get the keys and open a room. In addition, give more money, it's considered compensation."

“Uh…yes…”
