Chapter 431

The next day, early in the morning, in an ordinary pub in the West City District.The location here is not remote, but it definitely can't be called lively. The tavern basically does the business of acquaintances around it, and it can be regarded as a livelihood. However, in this early morning, naturally no one will come to drink, so the general pub will choose to open at noon.
But the tavern is now half-open, and the chubby innkeeper walked out the door with a smile. Of course he had reason to be happy, because someone had paid a lot of money for half a day of light time here, and all he had to do was just to experience the feeling of opening a tavern.
These people are crazy, but let's make more of these crazy people... The fat shop owner thought about it, and then he hooked the head and went back to rest peacefully.
He was not worried at all about the tavern, which was worthless in the first place, even more how the other party paid a high deposit. At some point, he even thought about running away with the deposit, but thinking about the ordinary-looking young man yesterday, after he forcibly forcibly pinched a gold coin into a golden bean, he It was wise to dismiss the idea of seeking death.
Just thinking of this, the fat shopkeeper's eyes suddenly swept to a familiar silhouette walking quickly, his body was shivered, and then he forced a smile and waved: "Hi, sir, good morning. Ah."
Tang En turned his head, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and responded politely: "Good morning... um, take a walk?"
shook the head, "No, just go back Rest. Oh, the door of the tavern is open, and your companions are cleaning up there."
"Thank you! I'm sorry to trouble you."
"It's very kind sir, Well, then I wish you a good morning."
"Ha, I hope so."
They greeted each other, although the other party was very polite, the fat shopkeeper After turning to leave, he still picked up his pace a little, wiped his forehead with sweat...
It seems that yesterday really frightened him...Tang En watched the fat figure quickly disappear around the street corner. , shook his head and chuckled, then turned and walked quickly to the pub.
A dozen people were cleaning up in the tavern. Except for a long table and a dozen wooden stools in the middle of the tavern, everything else was piled up in the corners.
After Tang En came in, the old man who pretended to be the owner was kindly nodded behind the counter wiping the table. That was Balao, but now it's the Balao that Camouflage had. At the time of the negotiations, all those who remained in the tavern belonged to Camouflage.
There is no way, when the time comes, all the people who can be here are high-level personnel of the secret agency. If their faces are remembered and their portraits drawn, then the work in the future will basically be impossible. So Tang En the past few days' spare time was all used to make Camouflage props.
Fortunately, except for him and Joah, they are only partial Camouflage, otherwise if everyone wants the whole face, a week may not be enough.
After greeting Bala, Tang En walked up to Joah and sat down and said, "Get ready, the other party has already left and will arrive in about fifteen minutes."
It's a big deal, even though this negotiation was brought up by the other side first, It shouldn't be playing tricks at the very beginning. But they didn't dare to be careless. After all, if this place was surrounded, then the secret agency would be caught in one pot. So in the end, Tang En made a trip himself to make sure that the other party didn't have an ambush.
Joah nods, breathes deeply, and looks around.
The clearing work is coming to an end, and these people will withdraw after a while to pick up arms and guard the periphery. This long table is made up of two tables, the material is poor, some old dirt is greasy, but the length is just enough to seat seven people. Except for Tang En, plus Baro behind the counter, and Diff as a waiter, that's all the top executives of the secret agency. This is an institution created by me, and now it is taking on a major mission... This tavern is very ordinary, but who would have thought that this place carries the long-cherished wish of hundreds of thousands of Grey Cloth Armed Forces who have lived and died for more than ten years...
Nervousness, excitement, excitement... Many emotions are mixed in everything, forming the distracting thoughts of bits and pieces. Phew... spat out one mouthful of impure air, cleared it all, turned to Tang En and said with a smile, "It's finally the day."
Probably feeling Joah's thoughts, Tang En nodded. , followed by saying, "Well, this day has finally come."
A smile appeared on his lips, Joah turned his head, raised his head slightly, and his face returned to a calm like water.
hehe, everyone is growing up...Tang En looked at Joah who was calm and composed, and remembered how he was worried about gains and losses during the first blackmail negotiation, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Just like the rapid growth of the Grey Cloth Armed Force, this young girl from a small noble family in a southern city has abandoned everything that other people dreamed of, such as a superior life, noble status, etc., and came to the desolate north alone to seek her own dream, and now she finally has An amazing change like turning a cocoon into a butterfly.
Fifteen minutes is not too long, the cleaning work has been completed, and the tea water coming up from the back end has not cooled down, and the temperature is suitable, and there is a curl of green smoke.
"It's here!" Dive, who was wearing a waiter costume at the door, turned his head and said abruptly, probably because he was nervous, his voice was a little sharp, and there was an ending.
But no one is laughing at him now, because except for Tang En, everyone here is more or less nervous.
If you care too much, your emotions will inevitably be affected. And Tang En has seen too many Life and Death Battles, and his mental quality has long been exercised. Of course, what's more important is that he doesn't care much about negotiation as much as Joah and the others.
Joah stood up as usual, lips slightly raised: "Let's go, although I don't want to see those fake faces for a few seconds, but people come from thousands of miles, we always have to welcome them symbolically. Just a moment."
"haha..."
It's not a brilliant sarcastic joke, but it works well here. With the laughter, everyone's mood was relieved a lot, and the tense atmosphere was swept away.
Diff, who was at the door, stroked his forehead when he saw this, and laughed at himself shamelessly: "I said I was so embarrassed just now, because I saw it for a few more seconds than you. Sigh..."
p>
"haha..."
...
On the street in front of the tavern, dozens of luxurious carriages and hundreds of fully armed cavalry approached at a constant speed.
"It's here?" Simpson lifted the curtains of the car window, looked at the houses on the street, frowned, and pouted, "The pariahs are pariahs, and they chose such a broken place for such an important negotiation. Could it be that they Are you not paying attention?"
"The important thing is the negotiation, not the environment! Sir Simpson." Of course Ronald wouldn't take the other party's provocation with such a low Rank, and said with a calm face, "Also, I I have to remind you. We are the main force in this negotiation. So, no matter what you think in your heart, please do not use the title of pariah in the negotiation. Otherwise, you have the right to supervise us, and we also have the right to interfere with the negotiation and expel Your rights."
"Shut up." Simpson sneered disapprovingly, turned his head and said, "Aren't they untouchables in your hearts?"
"Even if it's normal, But negotiation is not."
shook the head, Simpson squinted: "You new aristocrats are really uncompromising for development! However, hehe, inferior pearls are always impossible to set on the crown. Just as they can't help you in the future, now they're so nervous that they don't even forget their surnames..."
Before he finished speaking, faint laughter suddenly came from the front. Simpson's car curtain did not fall, and it could be clearly judged that it was coming from the target tavern.
Spreading his hands, Ronald's mouth curled slightly: "Obviously, this is not nervous."
"hmph!" He was slapped in the face at the scene. The old face was also hot for a while, coldly snorted, and lowered the curtains.
Since the laughter can be heard, the distance between the two sides is not far away.
A moment later, a dozen luxury carriages stopped a dozen meters in front of the tavern. Before the people in the car got off, the more than one hundred cavalrymen rushed out in two wings. The trend was clearly to surround the tavern. Immediately, the speed of a dozen cavalrymen did not decrease but increased, and Joah and the others rammed aggressively towards the door.
"Damn..." Diff complexion changed, reaching for the knife. But Joah grabbed his wrist in an instant, "Don't be impulsive."
Tang En curled one's lip aside, reached into his arms, and muttered in a low voice, "It's an old-fashioned disgust..." When he left, a crossbow appeared, and swayed at the dozen or so cavalry soldiers who were nearly five meters away.
si si neigh...
A neigh, these Knights are subconsciously tightening the reins.
Obviously, this action was supposed to be played in front of Tang En and them. In this way, as long as you are a normal person, you will naturally lose one's head out of fear if you are caught off guard. In this way, the purpose of dismounting has been achieved.
But in a flash, unexpectedly, here is very indifferent and took out the crossbow. Now, it was their turn to be caught off guard. Fortunately, these people's riding skills are all very good, and there is no such handsome action that rolls off the horse's back, which seriously damages morale.
At this time, from the direction around the tavern, there was also the sound of horses neighing one after another. Obviously, Knight's flanking tactics also encountered difficulties.
In the beginning, Joah and the others chose the address this time, and they planned to take advantage of the home court. How could they be surrounded by the other side.
deng deng deng, the cavalry a few meters away neatly dismounted, strode forward, and reached the door.
"Get out of the way, in order to ensure the safety of all adults, we have to go and search first!"
How could the people on this side be obedient to get out of the way, all with their hands on their shoulders to block the door , as if unheard of.
The frowned cavalry at the front took another step forward, stretched out his hand and pulled, "Let me..."
Before he finished speaking, chi chi chi... A rather strange sound , The cavalry's outstretched hand, from the fingers to the gauntlet, and finally to the shoulder armor, was covered with a layer of ice at a very fast speed.
"Magician!"
The exclamation was followed by the continuous sound of the sword being half-sheathed.
Joah turned a blind eye to Knight's violent actions, stepped forward and said coldly: "Tell your adults. In the back room, if you want to enter, you can enter, but you must be the negotiator. As for you, sorry, but also Not qualified!”
