A group of idle warriors, exuding a strong smell of alcohol, were jostling and pushing each other as they walked down a side street.
Such warriors are very common in the city. Judging from the downbeat appearance of their clothes, they are usually temporarily employed by a certain force. After one job is completed, they have to find another employer. Such warriors often have a period of time.
Your pocket may be full for a while, but your life may be tight for a while.
Such warriors have almost no pursuits, and they don't even know when they will die just to earn rewards. They often squander the money when they have money, and when they have no money, they will take on any dangerous jobs.
They usually come from humble backgrounds, do not have very good talents themselves, let alone be valued by some families and forces, and always struggle to survive at the bottom.
The few people in front of me were so drunk that they didn't know where they had just drank. They staggered a little when they walked, but they still kept moving forward.
"Brothers are quite satisfied with the banquet we just prepared!" A middle-aged warrior, the oldest among the group, said with a proud smile.
"satisfy"
“So satisfied.”
People around him replied one after another.
"Brother Luo, this meal cost five gold coins. I haven't had such a banquet for almost a year. How can I be dissatisfied?" A young man said with a smile, but the young man was speaking.
His eyes flickered, showing no hint of drunkenness.
Although several people were talking and laughing, including the middle-aged people, they seemed to be a little afraid of the young man, which seemed a bit abnormal for the brothers who were brothers.
Such people are not uncommon, so no one cares about them, and no one is willing to pay attention to every move of a few drunkards.
A few people seemed to have accidentally walked into a side street. The lights here were obviously dimmer than the previous street. Compared to the previous street, this place looked a little more depressed.
The shops around the street were a bit depressed, and some had even closed down just after nightfall. However, there were some small pubs on the street, which were still open for business, but there were almost no people in the pubs.
"Brother Luo, we made a promise today that we won't get home until we get drunk. Let's find another place to continue." The young man said casually as if to remind us.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man looked around and said: "We also drank a little too much, and I can't even see where we are going. We promised everyone to have a good time, but...
It doesn’t look like there are brothels or brothels here!”
"I think it's still early. It seems a little too early to go looking for flowers and willows at this time. If you spend a lot of money just to listen to music, it's really not worth it." The young man said with a smile on his face and shook his head.
"I think we'd better continue drinking."
"That's right, just find a place with alcohol and let's keep drinking and drinking."
Several other people around him responded with words. When the middle-aged man heard this, a look of uneasiness appeared on his face, but when his eyes came into contact with the young man, he immediately smiled and said: "Listen to everyone,
Since everyone is talking about drinking, let’s just find a restaurant.”
The young man nodded and raised his hand to draw randomly, as if he couldn't make up his mind for a moment. Suddenly his fingers stopped and pointed towards an inconspicuous tavern on the street.
It seemed like he pointed a finger very casually, but the other people did not hesitate at all and immediately walked in the direction pointed by the young man and went straight into the tavern.
On the surface, it is just a few drunks who want to continue drinking. It is a normal scene on the street. But if someone carefully observes the demeanor and communication of these people, they will see some problems, but who will care about this?
A few drunkards.
A total of six people staggered into the tavern, and the boss immediately came over to greet them warmly. A few of them were not polite and found a table facing the street to sit down.
While the others were ordering, the young man looked out the window absentmindedly. The sky had completely darkened at this moment, and the street was relatively remote, so there were no people on the street at all.
The young man looked at it with great interest for a long time, and then slowly withdrew his gaze. When he looked at the people in front of him again, the young man said with a smile: "It's rare for Brother Luo to be the host today, so please don't be polite."
, no matter how you eat, everyone must drink to their heart’s content.”
Some people smiled and nodded, while others looked slightly unnatural at this time. The middle-aged man known as "Brother Luo" lowered his head hesitantly and said: "I come out to drink just to be happy.
As long as the brothers enjoy themselves, why not find a big restaurant instead of helping me save money!"
The middle-aged man's words seemed to be well-intentioned, but after hearing this, everyone at the table froze on the spot, and the atmosphere suddenly became very strange.
The young man did not expect that the middle-aged man would say this. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly said: "Brother Luo also said that when we go out to drink, we just want to get together as brothers. It's not the same everywhere."
As he spoke, the young man glared at the middle-aged man fiercely. The man known as Brother Luo nodded subconsciously and echoed: "That's right, what brother said is true, or brother thinks older than brother."
Hello brother."
At this moment, a young girl came over with a big wine jug in her arms. The woman looked at least seventy or eighty similar to the boss just now. The girl was almost 20 years old. Although her figure was petite, she was holding the huge wine jug.
Effortlessly, it can be seen that the girl also has some cultivation skills.
These warriors often visited the fireworks area on weekdays, and under the influence of alcohol, their eyes were slightly straightened when they looked at the girl holding the urn.
The girl frowned slightly, with a hint of disgust on her face, but she didn't say anything more, put down the wine jar and left.
The young man saw all this in his eyes, with a subtle and evil smile on his face. He reached out and grabbed the huge wooden spoon on the table, and filled the wine bowls of the people in front of him with wine before the food was served.
, everyone first drank a large bowl each.
…
Outside this remote street, in an inconspicuous shop, dozens of warriors gathered unknowingly. These people did not belong to the four ghost painting families of Su Wang, and they did not even have any background. They were the kind of people who had no background.
An idle warrior with no foundation or background.
They gather here, obviously with a special purpose, but because this shop is owned by a small chamber of commerce, it will naturally not attract anyone's attention.
The only son of Guo Tong, the lord of Kuocheng City, slowly walked out from behind the shop at this moment. His face was not very good and he seemed a little reluctant. However, when he came in front of these warriors, he still held his fists in a graceful manner.
salute.
"Master!"
Among the dozens of warriors in front of them, all of them recognized the young man in front of them. They all opened their mouths and saluted with fists in their hands. The young man smiled and waved his hands. He first ordered people to close the shop door, and then he spoke.
"Everyone is able to come here today. On behalf of my father and the city lord's palace, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Then he raised his hand and shook it towards the counter next to him, and a huge cloth bag fell on the counter with a "bang".
The sound of metal clashing came from the bag, and the heavy sound made people guess that there were a lot of coins inside.
"There are two thousand gold coins here. Please put them away first, and there is also half of the reward. When the matter is completed, my city lord's palace will never lose a copper coin for you. Please rest assured."
Pointing to the cloth bag on the counter next to him, the young man introduced it with a smile. The warrior in front of him immediately showed a smile, and his eyes looking at the cloth bag became hot. I don't know who took the first step, followed by everyone
They all rushed over and divided up the gold coins in the bag in the blink of an eye.
Seeing these people snatching gold coins, a hint of contempt and disgust flashed across the faces of the young people standing aside.
Seeing the people in front of him dividing up all the gold coins, the young man continued: "Tonight I just want to get rid of everyone who makes things bigger. There is no need to be reasonable. I just want to make things as chaotic as possible. You don't need to do anything that follows."
Worry, someone will naturally come back to finish it off."
With the hundred and ten gold coins they had just divided up in their arms, and hearing the assurance from the young man in front of them, the smiles on these people's faces became a little brighter.
After a short pause, the young man's face became very serious again, and he said again: "But I also need to remind everyone again that tonight's matter, no matter how big it is, has nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion and my father Guo Tong. I hope
You all better know this."
Seeing that the warriors in front of him nodded to express their understanding, the young man waved his hands and said, "Everyone, please rest here first. If there is a signal from over there, you can take action."
Without any further pause, after finishing speaking, the young man turned around to the back and walked out of the shop through the back door.
At this moment, a table full of dishes had been served in the tavern. Although it was not a rich meal, the atmosphere was very lively as people exchanged glasses.
While the people in front of him were drunk with wine, the young man who had always behaved relatively soberly picked up the wooden spoon again to help everyone add wine. But this time when he put the wooden spoon into the wine vat,
The young man's hand shook seemingly unintentionally. Following the movement of his palm, fine transparent powder slowly slipped out from his cuff. The fine powder fell directly into the wine vat. The young man glanced out of the corner of his eye.
He couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.
The middle-aged man sitting next to the young man, whose eyes seemed to be blurred due to the high level of alcohol, suddenly opened their eyes at this moment. When the middle-aged man turned his head, what he saw was the young man's faint cold smile.
He sighed silently and slowly lowered his head.
The young man stirred the wooden spoon in the wine jar, and then helped several people fill it up with a smile. Except for the middle-aged man, the four people did not notice anything strange.
