"Huh..."
"Shashasha..."
Under the bright sunshine, the breeze blows.
The large, leafy trees in the courtyard swayed gently in the wind, making subtle noises.
The single-family house with a yard is very quiet at this time. Only occasionally when someone passes by the door, the voices of passers-by will be heard in the yard.
Suddenly, someone unlocked the door, opened the door and walked into the yard.
After a busy morning, the bearded man returned home. He walked through the yard and entered the two-story small house.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw two figures sitting in front of the table.
When the president of the Venomous Fang Organization saw his men coming back, he immediately put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "You must be very tired after a busy morning! Come and have a cup of tea."
With that said, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the bearded man.
"Thank you, president." The man with a beard came to the table and sat down, thanking the president of the Poison Fang Organization.
The black crocodile beast sat aside and said nothing, quietly waiting for the man with a beard to report on the investigation he went out to investigate this morning.
"Gudong."
After drinking the tea in one gulp, the bearded man began to report the news he had received today to the two people.
"I observed at the city gate after I went out this morning, and found that the soldiers at the city gate are now very lax, and the inspection of people leaving the city is not as strict as before."
The president of the Poison Fang Organization nodded after hearing this, and then he asked about some of the details.
"When you were observing at the city gate, did you notice any suspicious people around?"
The man with a beard shook his head, "I didn't find anyone suspicious."
The black crocodile beast on the side heard this and said with a smile, "It seems that our previous worries were unnecessary. People from the empire did not set a trap at the city gate."
The man with a beard nodded in agreement, "Yes! According to my observations over the past few days, there is a high probability that the empire did not set a trap at the city gate.
If we want to leave the city next time, it should be very easy."
After listening to the report of his subordinates, the president of the Poison Fang Organization pondered for a while, and then he said, "It seems like we can leave Tap Rock City soon."
Then the three people discussed with each other and decided to leave the city tomorrow.
"President, after you leave the city, when do you plan to come back?" the man with a beard asked.
"After we leave the city, we will wait until our injuries are completely healed before we come back. When we enter the city, we need you to take care of us," the president of the Poison Fang organization said.
Although the security of Tapashi City is becoming more and more relaxed now, people from the empire are still in the city.
Especially that mysterious strong man, like a sharp sword hanging above his head, made the president of the Venomous Fang Organization and the Black Crocodile Beast dare not stay too much in Tap Rock City.
Now that the time has come, they decided to leave Tapashi City temporarily and find a place to recuperate. After they fully recovered, they would wait for an opportunity to enter Tapashik City and take away the batch of cultivation resources hidden in Tapashik City.
After deciding to leave Tap Rock City tomorrow, the three of them had nothing else to talk about. At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Dong dong dong..."
Suddenly, they remembered the knock on the door, which made the three people in the living room alert, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.
"I'll go out and take a look." The man with a beard said and left the living room.
When he came to the door and opened it, he found a young child standing outside the door.
"whats the matter?"
"Uncle, Uncle Wang asked me to tell you that he has something he wants to discuss with you and asks you to come over right now."
"Okay, I'll go over after finishing some things at home." The man with a beard nodded and said to the child who came to deliver the message.
After the other party left, the man with a beard returned to the living room, explained the situation, and then came out again.
After locking the door, the man with a beard walked towards Uncle Wang's house.
This uncle Wang is his landlord. He usually only meets him when he pays the rent, but now that it is not time to pay the rent, he suddenly asks a child to come to deliver a message and wants to meet to discuss some things. It is really confusing.
It's noon now, the sun in the sky is very hot, and the sunlight it emits makes pedestrians walking on the road a little unbearable.
Many people choose to walk under the shade of trees, or simply stay in teahouses to drink tea, waiting for the hottest period of the weather to pass before coming out.
The man with a beard was walking slowly under the shade of the trees on the roadside. Since Uncle Wang's home was not very far from his, he quickly arrived at the door of the other party's house.
Sanjin's house was quite large in this residential area. The man with a beard came to the door and immediately saw the servant of Uncle Wang's family, dozing off with his back against the door frame.
"Hello."
The man with a beard greeted him, and the servant who was dozing off was immediately awakened. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and after seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, he said.
"You're here! My master is waiting for you in the study!"
After saying that, the servant standing at the door immediately led the man with the beard into the house.
A few minutes later, the man with a beard was led by a servant to a study room.
The servant reached out and knocked on the study door, and a voice came from the room.
"Come in."
After hearing the master's words, the servant immediately pushed open the study door, raised his hand and made a gesture, inviting the bearded man to come in.
In the antique study room, an old man with gray hair sat on the Taishi chair and read a book.
When the bearded man came to the study, the gray-haired old man immediately put the book in his hand on the table, stood up and invited him to sit down at the table.
"Uncle Wang, what did you come to me to discuss?" The bearded man sat down, looked at Uncle Wang who was pouring himself tea, and asked.
"It's like this. Don't you often go out of the city to collect herbs? I received a message here that Qingming grass appeared in Qingtang Gorge in the north. I would like to ask you to go over and help me collect some."
After hearing what Uncle Wang said, the man with a beard felt a little regretful. He should not have told outsiders that he specialized in collecting herbs.
Uncle Wang was the landlord and it was difficult to refuse. The man with the beard sighed inwardly, then nodded.
"Okay, it's a small matter, but I still have some things to do these days. I have to wait until those things are finished before I can go to Qingtang Gorge to collect herbs."
"It won't matter for a few days. You can finish the things at hand before you go." When Uncle Wang saw the bearded man agreeing to collect the medicine, his wrinkled face showed a satisfied smile.
After talking about the business, the two of them drank tea and chatted.
Although the man with the beard wanted to leave very much, it seemed a bit inappropriate for his host to invite him to their home and then leave immediately after saying that, so he could only stay a little longer.
"During this period, the city was closed to search for escaped prisoners, which caused some trouble to the residents in the city." Uncle Wang said.
The man with a beard nodded after hearing this, then put down the tea cup in his hand and agreed.
"Yes! The city was first closed to search for escaped prisoners, which indeed caused some inconvenience to everyone's lives, but this is also for the sake of everyone's safety."
Uncle Wang smiled and said, "My son works in the City Lord's Mansion. I heard from him that tomorrow morning, the City Lord's Mansion will issue an order to unblock all the city gates.
At that time, everyone will not need paperwork when leaving the city, and can just leave the city directly."
"Huh?" The man with a beard was stunned for a moment after hearing what Uncle Wang said.
They just decided to leave the city tomorrow, in the afternoon. They didn't expect that tomorrow morning, the city lord's palace would issue an order to unblock the city gate. What a coincidence!
Uncle Wang saw that the man with the beard had a dumbfounded expression on his face after hearing what he said about the city gate being unsealed tomorrow, and he continued to say with a smile.
"This matter has actually been issued in advance. Many people in various departments are aware of it. We are just waiting for the order to officially take effect tomorrow."
The man with a beard picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said.
"I thought the two escaped prisoners had not been caught, and the City Lord's Mansion would have to seal the city for a while longer! I didn't expect the seal to be lifted so soon."
Uncle Wang said, "I had the same idea as you at first, but later I heard from my son that since the two escaped prisoners have not been caught, the city continues to be closed, which greatly affects the business of the merchants in the city.
Many presidents of chambers of commerce went to meet the city lord and explained the situation, hoping to unblock the city gate as soon as possible.
The Lord of the City also thought about it and felt that the two escaped prisoners had not been found and had probably left Tapashi City, so he decided that the order to unblock the city gate would take effect tomorrow morning."
"I see." The man with a beard nodded, and then he asked curiously.
"Uncle Wang, your son has been working in the City Lord's Mansion for three years. Counting the time, he should be promoted!"
"You should be able to get promoted next year." Uncle Wang said with a smile.
"Congratulations." The man with a beard raised his hands in congratulations. Uncle Wang said with a smile, "I heard from my son that after he is promoted, he may need to work in a bank for half a year."
"Serving in a bank, there is a lot of money!" The man with a beard said subconsciously when he heard this. At this time, Uncle Wang shook his head and said seriously.
"Be careful, don't say this kind of thing. If it reaches the ears of the city lord, it will make the city lord unhappy..."
The man with the beard quickly admitted his mistake, and then he chatted with Uncle Wang for a while. When another guest came to the other party's house, he stood up and left.
When we came out of Uncle Wang's house, the sun in the sky had already set a long way to the west.
In the afternoon, I went to Uncle Wang's house to chat with him. Time flew by so fast, nearly three hours passed before I knew it.
At this point in time, the hottest part of the day has passed.
There were a lot more people on the street, and a man with a beard was walking slowly back toward home.
"Um?"
Suddenly, a pair of heavily armed soldiers came towards them from a distance. When the man with a beard saw this group of soldiers, he suddenly became alert.
Because this group of soldiers was not the patrol group from Tap Seac City that he usually encountered on the street.
It can be seen from the opponent's clothes and the psychic energy fluctuations emanating from their bodies that this group of fully armed soldiers is the elite of the empire's army.
The two sides passed each other, and the man with a beard stood on the roadside, watching the imperial elites retreating in the distance.
After seeing this team of imperial elites, the man with a beard could confirm that the strong men sent by the empire were still in Tap Rock City and had not left.
"Although it has been confirmed that tomorrow morning the city lord's palace will issue an order to unblock various city gates, and everyone will resume their freedom of travel.
But the strong men of the empire are still in Tapashi City, so you have to be careful when leaving the city tomorrow."
The man with a beard was thinking about something while returning home.
Since it would be dinner time in a while, he passed by the vegetable market on his way home and went in to buy some ingredients.
…………
blue star.
The sun in the sky was about to disappear below the horizon, and the bright red sunset dyed most of the sky red.
As time goes by, the weather gets warmer day by day, and the clothes worn by the citizens in the city gradually become thinner.
Just before the sun was about to disappear, the street lights on both sides of the street lit up one after another.
In the office area of the Vitality Gym, Zhou Yue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. She raised her hand to push the hanging hair behind her ears. She looked at the sunset that was about to disappear in the distance, and her thoughts were diverging.
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a sudden knock on the door. Zhou Yue, who was distracted by her thoughts, came back to her senses. She turned her head towards the door and shouted.
The people outside the door heard Zhou Yue's voice and immediately pushed the door open. A girl wearing black overalls walked into the room and said to Zhou Yue.
"Coach Zhou, the general manager has finished the work at hand, we can set off."
The person who came to Zhou Yue was the secretary of the general manager. After explaining the situation, Zhou Yue nodded, picked up her bag, and followed the other person out of the office.
On the way to meet the general manager, the female secretary said with a smile.
"Tonight's banquet is attended by many entrepreneurs."
"Yeah." Zhou Yue nodded. Originally, she was thinking of having a meal with Lin Fei after get off work today.
As a result, when it was time to get off work, the general manager of the Vitality Gym called and asked if Zhou Yue was free and would accompany her to a banquet in the evening.
Wang Lan usually took good care of Zhou Yue, so when faced with her inquiry, Zhou Yue was naturally embarrassed to refuse.
Arriving at the parking lot, Wang Lan, who has a capable temperament, sat in the car.
The female secretary helped Zhou Yue open the rear door. After Zhou Yue got in the car, she came to the passenger seat.
After the driver waited for all the passengers in the car to sit firmly, he immediately started the car and drove to the venue of the banquet in an orderly manner.
