Chapter 556 The situation is rising! (Five thousand five)
(ps: Just get one content done in one chapter, and I won’t just click it separately. Haha, the character is definitely ^-^)
I don’t know the years in the cave, but I have left my dreams under the water.
Let us temporarily move our eyes away from Tang En, turn back to Shanxi City again, and turn to this place where the storm is gradually rising...
At noon, the creekside tavern and the meeting hall.
It was the time to eat, but due to several emergencies, middle and senior officials from secret institutions were constantly gathering here. After a while, dozens of people were crowded with the hall.
It can be seen that except for sitting on the upper floor in the middle seat, most of the people standing next to him were puzzled. However, looking at the silence of the senior management, they couldn't come up and ask something for a while. Of course, it was acquaintances, and they were naturally indispensable to greet each other. They talked in a low voice for a moment, shook their heads, as if they couldn't figure it out. Among them, from time to time, some people turned their eyes to the first seat of the hall, the beautiful figure who sat quietly and calmly...
Regardless of the rest, just from the lively scene now, we can see that the secret agency is indeed no longer the shabby small group that was negotiated with Bran. In the early stages of a team's development, the one that can prompt such amazing changes is often its supreme leader. The secret agency is naturally no exception...
Born with leadership, more skillful skills, and unswerving original dreams... Joshia, a noble girl from a small southern town, is growing at an astonishing speed after a series of trials.
Of course, the large amount of funds that Tang En had invested before also played a powerful catalyst. It was under the collection of many factors that Joshia finally showed her dazzling brilliance, and in a short time it completely opened up the original bottleneck situation of the secret agency!
...
Soon, no one entered the main entrance again, and most of the middle and high-level personnel from the headquarters of Shanxi City and the surrounding cities gathered.
Looking around, Lansha frowned slightly and did not immediately announce the start of the meeting. Instead, she attracted the confidants behind her and asked in a low voice: "Go and ask, why is Uncle Enoke not here yet?"
"yes."
Enoke, Borg's third uncle, is also the one with the highest status in the secret institution besides Joshia.
Of course, that was before, and the situation is somewhat different now. After being reminded by Tang En. After understanding the special mission of the secret agency, Joshia took back the intelligence rights from Enoke. Then, because the organization continues to expand, some young senior officials inevitably promoted. In this way, although Enoke is nominally the second-person of the agency, the rights in his hands are far inferior to those before.
Of course, these actions will make Enoke very dissatisfied, which is normal. But no matter what, as the second-person in the organization, he always has to attend middle and high-level meetings.
Unexpectedly, a moment later, the confidant came back and leaned over and whispered, "Captain, Lord Enoch took Chief Borg out of the city four days ago, saying that there was something important to go back to Dawn City."
"Yeah? Have you left for four days?" Joshia frowned slightly when she heard this. Of course there was no problem going back to Dawn City. It was no longer a place of beasts in the Bran newspaper, but after four days of walking, the highest person in charge of his organization was unaware of it. This was undoubtedly a bit unreasonable... He was deliberately concealing it? But why?
Just a little doubt was then left behind by Joshia, looking around the crowd, buckled the table, buckled the low discussion dissipated. The room suddenly became quiet. He took a breath and spoke calmly: "This time we called everyone together because of the bit of information we have received in the past few days. Well, it's a bit abnormal. Maybe I'm too fussy, but... I hope so."
He wanted to say something more, but perhaps because he was worried that it would affect everyone's subsequent judgment, Lansha finally didn't say it. He just made a gesture to a young man beside him.
The young man was named Diff. He had dealt with Don En when the hunter group came to kill him and secretly became a rival for a while. However, Diff later gave up on the idea of pursuing Joshia and focused on managing institutional affairs. Now he has become Joshia's right-hand man and a senior executive of a secret agency.
"Cough cough." As soon as he got up, Diff coughed twice, picked up a few pieces of paper and said, "These information is quite trivial, please listen first. The first is the branch of the Thunder Legion defense zone of the Thunder Legion. Recently, some of the Thunder Legion's forces have been frequently mobilized, and they have vaguely restrained the surrounding area of the Thunder City... Well, our army has not yet had time to retreat and is stationed here."
"The day before yesterday, the garrisons around several 100,000 mountains such as Valan, Brie and others increased dramatically, the city gates were martial law, and pedestrians were searched closely..."
"Yesterday..."
...
In the Silent Hall, Diff slightly integrated the information from the past few days, and took about ten minutes to read it out one by one.
Gradually, the atmosphere was a little depressed, and the faces of the middle and senior management of the surrounding institutions changed slightly. When they looked at each other, most of them saw the same expression on the other's faces - they were surprised and suspicious!
If these information is viewed in a single way, of course there is no problem. Or even if there is a problem, it will not make people think of something quickly. But after a little integration, listening to these changes that suddenly occur within a few days, it will make people guess a terrifying possibility in their hearts...
First of all, with the retreat of the Northern Wilderness Barbarians, the front-line war ended dozens of days ago. As a collaborator, the Gray-Clothed Army naturally had to withdraw after receiving the commendation from Bran's military headquarters. But this was not the case. Bran was very resentful of the retreat procedures and was reluctant to allow large-scale Gray-Clothed Army soldiers to retreat.
Of course, given that Bran has always been delayed in official business, the Gray-Clothed Army did not think much about this. It just organized the wounded soldiers and the small teams that were broken up to retreat, and the others continued to argue with the other party.
But now, everyone listened to the Bran army faintly surrounding it on the intelligence, combined with the previous drag situation, and suddenly felt a sense of danger in their hearts...
Furthermore, because of the reconciliation between the two sides and the membership of Luosha, Bran's positioning of Dawn City will naturally not be as tough as before.
It can be said that the roads leading to Shuguang City from cities around the 100,000 mountains are unobstructed. Although there are still restrictions on the number of people, there are also many small means of splashing dirty water in secret, and intimidation cannot be waited for the table. For fear that the civilians in the city will move together, at least normal travel will not be affected. Some caravans have also begun to tentatively transport some goods to Shuguang City, hoping to open up a new trade route...
With vitality, everything is constantly developing in a good direction. But now, surrounding cities are suddenly blocking the roads and entering a state of martial law with half-coverage. Then the meaning behind this is worthy of fun...
"Captain...Captain."
"Huh? Oh..." Looking up at Diff's worried look, Joshia nodded slightly, took a deep breath, quickly cleared the thoughts in her mind, calmed down: "Send the order and send someone to send these messages to Dawn City. Also, continue to investigate..."
Before he finished speaking, the door of the conference hall was pushed open. The middle-aged man disguised as the owner of the tavern hurriedly walked in, met Joshia's sight, and saluted and said, "Captain, there are two people outside the tavern who are anxious to see you, saying that there is something important to report..."
Joshia frowned slightly when she heard this. It was obviously not the time to meet. The middle-aged man continued, "They said their names were Jack and Carol."
"Well……"
...
The meeting was temporarily suspended, and Diff continued to think about the possible fuse. Joshia had already arrived in front of the tavern, but just stepped into the tavern hall through the back door. Looking at the two figures, one tall and one short in front of the counter, she couldn't help but be stunned.
A slightly taller person was a gray-haired old man with a slightly bent waist and a coarse navy cloth short dress that was washed with white hair. He stood in a posture that could be seen as a country man who had first entered the city.
The shorter one was a boy with a gray and white cloth towel, with a little sludge on his face. It seemed that he was very thin because of malnutrition.
The first impression of these two people standing together was that they came to join their country grandfather and grandson who came to join their relatives in the city. The next scene undoubtedly confirmed this...
As the pavilion guests watched in groups of three or three, the white-haired old man turned his head and saw Joshia's eyes lit up. The wrinkles on his face trembled slightly, and he staggered, with an excited expression: "Hu Niu, it's just looking for you..."
"Puff..." A certain drinker looked at Joshia, who was dressed in a white robe. Although she was disguised, her face was still considered pretty. After all, she could not accept this domineering title and opened her mouth and sprayed a big mouthful of wine.
Seeing the white-haired old man quickly with a concealed look in a very disagreeable attitude that was seriously inconsistent with his age, Joshia twitched, and she still greeted him with surprise: "Grandfather? Brother? Why are you here!"
"Oh, don't mention it, the ground is deserted, and the food is not enough for your Ergou brother..."
Ergou… “Ahem, grandfather, let’s go out and talk, go out and talk…”
Tugging and pulling. Joshia pulled the white-haired old man out of the tavern hall, and the boy named Ergou followed with expressionless expression.
Not long after leaving the hall, the white-haired old man's eyes rolled and looked around, and then he bent slightly and miraculously straightened his body. He grabbed Joshia's arm tightly, and burst into tears: "Damn it. It's a matter of finding a organization. Don't say it, find a doctor for me first, and then find a bed for me... Oh, and now, get me some food now. I haven't eaten for two days."
"Uh?" Joshia was stunned when she heard this, then touched the cloth scarf on the boy's head and said laughingly: "What's this... Jack, little Carol, why do you dress up like this? Also, little Carol, where have you been away during this period? How can you get together with Jack?"
...
Needless to say, this grandfather and grandson are naturally Jack and Little Carol.
As for why you dress up like this, you have been miserable as if you haven't eaten for two days. That's really a tear of bitterness...
They had come to Shanxi City to find Joshia once before, but Joshia had already gone to the front line. This was naturally a killing two birds with one stone for Little Carol. After all, she originally wanted to go to the front line to find Brother Tang En. As Tang En's bad friend, Jack naturally could not see Little Carol, a half-grown girl, go to the front line to find someone alone, and had to give up the plan to return to the southern city and stay with Little Carol.
But what happened immediately was that he saved the teacher from the Civilian Academy, and then inexplicably offended the Temple of Light, but completely disrupted the two of them.
In the Temple of Light, you can tell what the image this organization is showing, but now Jack and Little Carol have broken through this dirty scene, so they will naturally kill people to silence them.
At this point, the plan for the two to go to the front line was undoubtedly ruined. The most urgent task was to hide from Tibet and not be caught by the people of the Temple of Light. But the Temple of Light is actually easy to provoke? Even if it is impossible to arrest Jack and Little Carol openly for the reasons, once this huge machine is activated, its power will be instantly covered, and the two will be circled in a certain area and investigated carefully.
In other words, Little Carol was deeply educated on Tang En's unique skills, quickly made various camouflage props, changed their appearance, and avoided one group of search teams that were open and secret. Of course, Little Carol may have enough technical skills after all, but her experience is still too shallow. If she was alone, she was stopped and asked a few questions, she would have to be seen.
Fortunately, she was also surrounded by Jack, who had many disguised props provided by Little Carol, and was constantly changing various identities. She could always deal with all kinds of troubles with her actions and words that match her identity. She was even forced to be anxious. She could also sneak into the noble manor with Little Carol and appear as a servant in a familiar way.
Of course, the power of the Temple of Light is too large after all. Even if they are not found out on the spot, they will be blocked in a suspicious place. Fortunately, the headquarters of the Temple of Light is not here, and most of the masters here are transferred to the front line to participate in the war. So when it is absolutely necessary, Jack and Little Carol's strength can guarantee that they will temporarily break out of the siege.
It was during this escape that Jack and Little Carol discussed it and decided to return to Shanxi City first. This was because the helpers they knew were in this city recently. Secondly, because Shanxi City was the existence of the northern holy city, the pursuers would never have thought of where they dared to break into. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, and the reason is that.
The tragic process of this needs no detailed description. It may be seen from Jack's opening words now that he needs a doctor, bed, and food...
"Sister Shia, the process is too long. I'll tell you when I have time." Little Carol politely saluted Joshia, then frowned and looked at the sluggish Jack, "Brother Jack, you forgot that there is another important thing you haven't said."
"Oh, by the way, look at my brain, I'm so stupid..." Jack slapped his forehead, and he said anxiously, "Joshia, please inform your people, and those from Dawn City, you can run away quickly... Oh, no, hurry up and be on guard, the people from the Temple of Light are coming."
"Uh...what?" Joshia's face changed drastically when she heard this, and she exclaimed in dismay, "What's going on?"
"It's too troublesome to explain. We were being chased by people from the Temple of Light for a while... Don't ask why, wait until I finish it." Waving his hand, stop Joshia, who was a little confused by these shocking news, Jack continued, "Then just a few days ago, we suddenly found that all the pursuit teams behind us disappeared, and even some important road levels were not searched. This situation was obviously abnormal. We were worried that the other party was trying on something, so we boldly turned around and followed a pursuit team, wanting to eavesdrop on what happened."
After pausing, Jack's face was dark, "I immediately found that these people were holding the portrait of Tang En's guy in their hands. Hum, very similar. They accurately said Tang En's name, identity, etc., and quickly gathered to a place, discussing to mobilize their forces to completely wipe out the gray-clothed army!"
"Portrait of Tang En? Can you accurately name and identity? How is it possible... The wanted portrait of the Temple of Light is clearly a disguise of Tang En, isn't it? Or is it someone... Eunuch? Enoch took Borg out of the city four days ago... The fuse that made the new noble forces dare not inform the news, Temple of Light..."
Bang! A heavy hammer of palm, combined with the previous information, the fog in front of Lansha's eyes suddenly became clear, but this did not bring a comfortable mood, but an instantly blue face and a roaring angrily, "Come on, call all the guards in the escort hall a few days ago..."
Everything happened suddenly in these few days, and it was just a few days ago that Joshia got news from Don Eun in the chamber. So, if it weren't for her confidant's problems and leaked the news, it would be that someone eavesdropped on her conversation that day...
Chapter completed!
