This small town on the northern trade route has always been a trading center connecting the north and the south. It is also the destination of the Mu family's caravan.
The town is not big. It only has many simple bungalows built on a small piece of mountain land at the junction of two mountains. A simple wooden column is built at the entrance and exit, which serves as the entrance and exit. Daily residents can also
There were less than 300 people, and there wasn't even a guard to protect the town.
Anyone who comes to this town for the first time will think that it is just a border town focused on trade. No one has ever doubted that this seemingly ordinary town is actually owned by the Creation God Cult.
One of the secret strongholds!
When the Mu family's caravan was still hundreds of miles away from Yeji Town, the actual manager of this town, the mayor of Yeji Town, and the mid-level manager of the Creation God Cult, Ye Tian, got the news - Mu
There are several strangers in the caravan who appear to be of noble status and extraordinary strength.
This sudden information made Ye Tian a little confused, wondering if he was dazzled. It was not until he saw the signature on the information that he gave up the idea.
--Sans, the executor of Xingluo Project.
It turned out to be the information from Sanz. This news couldn't help but make Ye Tian's originally relaxed nerves start to get tense.
Speaking of this mysterious executor of the Xingluo Project, he can be regarded as someone who has heard of his name for a long time. It was this Sans who proposed and implemented the notorious Aroton plan of the Divine Religion back then. Because of this
In the eyes of the outside world, the crazy massacre plan almost directly brought the human race on a map to the brink of extinction.
The original more than five million indigenous people in the area have been reduced sharply to less than a few thousand now!
And this Sanz's plan sounds very simple and crude. To put it simply, it is to provoke internal conflicts and then poison the water source.
It was precisely because of this successfully implemented plan that the name of the Creation God Cult was known to the world for the first time, and attracted a collective encirclement and suppression by all major forces. From then on, the Creation God Cult had to turn to mainly underground activities.
Why did he get involved here? Wasn’t it because the last major force’s encirclement and suppression campaign had disappeared for a long time?
Ye Tian was thinking in his heart, but he didn't dare to be negligent and immediately called his men.
"Go and move the secret sentry at the gate five kilometers south. If there is any trace of the Mu family's caravan, report it immediately."
The subordinate followed the order and left, but Ye Tian still frowned.
Speaking of which, on the surface he is the manager, mayor, and powerful figure of Yeji Town, but secretly he is just a middle-level member of the divine religion. Except for daily affairs, which he can decide on his own, he has no control over anything else related to the divine religion.
He does not have any power of disposal and needs to be notified. He is just an executor.
Thinking like this, Ye Tian opened a mechanism on a desk, and he didn't know where he pressed it. A small communicator with exquisite workmanship immediately popped up on the desk. Ye Tian pressed it a few more times, and in front of him.
, a man wearing a mask appeared. The man seemed very surprised and asked directly.
"What's the matter? It's not contact time now."
"I want to know if there are other arrangements for the Xingluo Project?" Ye Tian didn't care about the arrogance of the other party's attitude and directly asked what he wanted to know.
The masked man seemed a little surprised. After a pause, a mechanically synthesized sound without any emotion came over.
"This is not an issue you should be concerned about. What you have to do is to collect relevant information for the cult and report it in time!"
This reaction was obviously expected by Ye Tian. He did not refute, but said something to himself.
"The Mu family is coming to Yeji Town soon, but judging from their appearance, they don't seem to intend to compromise."
"Oh?" The masked man seemed a little surprised, showing a hint of humanity, and then quickly recovered: "Have you found a new entrant? Are you so confident? Go find out who it is?"
Ye Tian didn't speak, just looked at the projection of the masked man in front of him quietly, without any expression, just watching.
The masked man quickly discovered Ye Tian's abnormality. Although he was separated by the mask, he could still see the face behind the mask frowning in displeasure, and reprimanded without explanation: "What? What do you think? I
Didn’t you hear me telling you to go check it out quickly?”
"I just want to know the deployment of the Xingluo plan, and I don't ask for anything else." Ye Tian replied lightly, and then looked at the masked man expressionlessly, until the other man looked at a loss, and finally had to
compromise.
There is no way, although he is indeed one level higher than the other party in terms of the internal level of the cult, but he is only a small leader responsible for transmitting information, while the person opposite, although only a middle-level manager, is actually a powerful figure in Yeji Town.
.
"You...what do you want to know? With my authority, I don't know much."
"I just want to know, apart from what I know, what else do you know and I don't know about the Xingluo Project!" Ye Tian's expression still did not change at all, but there was a hint of refusal in his tone, running Yeji Town
For many years, he has been the overlord here, a ruthless character whose words cannot be refuted, and naturally carries the power of a superior.
...
A few minutes later, Ye Tian walked out of his office, looked at the rare blue sky, and let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Hey, Lord Mayor, why do you have time to go out for a walk today?" An old man with ordinary clothes but a bright face, carrying a heavy sack on his shoulders, greeted Ye Tian.
"It's Uncle Li. I don't have much official work today, so I just wanted to come out and get some fresh air." Ye Tian replied with a smile on his face.
"Well, how about you go to my mother's pub later in the evening and have a drink?" The old man was not frightened at all because the person in front of him was a powerful figure in Yeji Town. Instead, he was very enthusiastic.
"Okay! Is it still the same old time?" Regarding the invitation from ordinary townspeople, Ye Tian did not feel that he had any intention of lowering his status.
"Of course! I have to wait until you get off work, right? Our Yeji Town depends entirely on you. Although I, Old Li, are just a farmer, I also know these things. Don't worry, I won't delay your work." Old Li Tou smiled brightly.
After saying this, he picked up the sack on his shoulders again and walked over.
Seeing this, Ye Tian continued walking along the street. Along the way, he was greeted by warm greetings and greetings from the residents. One family even had a child and asked the mayor to help him name it.
A scene of harmony.
Looking at this scene, Ye Tian couldn't help but think of the scene when he first arrived in Yeji Town.
The situation of Yeji Town more than ten years ago was not what it is now. Except for a few old people who were forced to stay here, there were almost no young adults. The whole town was in decline. One sentence is more appropriate to describe Yeji Town at that time.
Gradually die.
However, such an unobtrusive small town seemed to be the perfect fit for the higher-ups of the cult at the time.
There are not many people, so it is suitable to place your own people.
The economy is underdeveloped, and there are no vested interests that will attract the attention of all parties. For the divine sect, which has just been severely damaged by the encirclement and suppression, it can not only recuperate and recuperate, but also properly carry out its own plans.
Ye Tian, who had just turned 30 at the time, was one of the specific executors of the plan.
But at the time, he would never have imagined that after so many years, the man with a rock-hard heart would be so kind to chat with these "mortals" about family matters and family issues.
What's wrong with me? Have I been assimilated without knowing it?
Ye Tian was a little confused.
At this moment, the watch on his hand rang. He glanced at the information on it, ended his "patrol", and walked quickly towards the office.
At the same time, the Mu family's caravan also arrived at the entrance of Yeji Town. Looking at the town, Li Yi turned his eyes to Mu Chengtian, who looked solemn.
Is this the "trouble" that Mu Chengtian said? It doesn't seem like there is anything worth noting!
Just as he was thinking about it, a tall middle-aged man came from the direction of the town and walked straight up to Mu Chengtian and stretched out his hand: "Are you Boss Mu? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, come on. Thank you for your hard work along the way. First of all.
Come to my office and have a cup of tea."
"Mayor Ye." Mu Chengtian's throat seemed to be dry due to the long journey, and his voice was somewhat unclear.
"Don't be in such a hurry, right? Can we take a short break before going to your office to discuss it in detail?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tian immediately lowered his face and said word by word: "Boss Mu, I am not inviting you, but informing you. Can't the recent events give you a longer memory?"
After finishing, he casually glanced at Li Yi and his group who looked idle.
