Chapter 556 The storm is rising! 〔Five thousand and five〕

(PS: One piece of content can be completed in one chapter, and there is no need to trick clicks separately. Ha, you have a good character^-^)

There is no trace of time in the cave, and there are still dreams left in the water.

Let us temporarily take our eyes away from Tang En and return to Shanxi City again, to this place where the storm is rising...

Noon, streamside tavern, meeting hall.

It was supposed to be dinner time, but due to several emergencies, the middle and high-level personnel of the secret agency were gathering here. After a while, dozens of people, standing or sitting, filled the hall.

It can be seen that except for the high-rise people sitting in the middle seats, most of the people standing next to them have doubts on their faces. But looking at the silence of the senior officials, they couldn't go up and ask anything for the time being. Of course, after all, we are meeting acquaintances, so greetings and contact between each other are naturally indispensable. After talking in a low voice for a moment, he shook his head and seemed confused. Among them, from time to time someone cast their eyes on the beautiful figure sitting quietly and calmly at the head of the hall...

Leaving aside everything else, judging from the lively scene now, we know that the secret agency is indeed no longer the shabby little group that was negotiating with Bran before. In the early stages of a team's development, it is often its top leader who can promote such amazing changes. Secret agencies are no exception...

Natural leadership skills, increasingly handy skills, and unwavering original dream...Josiah, this aristocratic girl from a small southern town, is growing at a staggering speed after going through a series of trials.

Of course, Tang En's previous investment of large sums of money also played a strong catalyst role. It was under the confluence of many factors that Josiah finally showed her dazzling brilliance, and in a short period of time, she completely opened up the original bottleneck situation of the secret agency! [

Soon, no one entered the main entrance. Most of the middle and high-level personnel from Shanxi City headquarters and surrounding cities gathered.

Looking around, Lan Sha frowned slightly, but did not immediately announce the start of the meeting. Instead, he called his cronies behind him and asked in a low voice: Go and ask why Uncle Enoch hasn't arrived yet?

yes.

Enoch, Borg's third uncle, is also the one with the highest status in the secret agency besides Joshua.

Of course, that was before, and things are a little different now. After being reminded by Tang En. After understanding the secret agency's special mission, Josiah took back intelligence rights from Enoch. Then, as the organization continued to expand, it was inevitable that some young senior executives would be promoted to the top. In this way, although Enoch is still nominally the number two figure in the organization, his power is much less than before.

Of course, these actions will make Enoch very dissatisfied, which is also human nature. But no matter what. As the number two person in the organization, he always has to attend high-level meetings.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, the confidant came back and whispered, Captain, Lord Enoch and Chief Borg left the city four days ago. He said he had to go back to Dawn City for important matters.

Huh? Have you been away for four days? Josiah frowned slightly when he heard this. Of course there is no problem in returning to Dawn City. It is no longer the land of savage beasts as described in Bran's newspaper, but it has been four days since he left, and the person in charge of his organization, the top official, has no idea about it. This is a bit unreasonable... Is it a deliberate concealment? But why?

It was just a small doubt, but he was immediately put aside by Joshua. He looked around at the crowd, knocked on the table, and the low discussion dispersed. The room suddenly fell silent. He took a breath and spoke calmly: I called everyone here this time because of some intelligence received in the past few days. Well, there is something abnormal. Maybe I made too much fuss, but... I hope so.

Lan Sha wanted to say something more, but perhaps because he was worried about affecting everyone's subsequent judgment, Lan Sha did not say anything in the end. He just gestured to a young man next to him.

This young man's name was Difu. He had dealt with Tang En when the Twilight Hunters came to kill him, and they had also been secretly a love rival for a while. But then Deef gave up the idea of ​​pursuing Josiah and instead focused on taking care of the organization's affairs. Now he has become Josiah's right-hand man and a high-level member of the secret agency.

Ahem. Standing up, Difu coughed twice, picked up a few pieces of paper and said, This information is relatively trivial. Let's listen to it first. The first piece of information was sent from the Tuoye City branch of the Thunder Legion's defense area. Recently, Thunder Part of the legion's troops are mobilized frequently, looming as a threat to the surrounding area of ​​Tuoye City... Well, our six thousand soldiers who haven't had time to retreat are stationed here.

The day before yesterday, the security of the cities around Valan, Buri and other hundreds of thousands of mountains increased sharply. The city gates were strictly guarded and pedestrians were searched closely...

Yesterday...[

In the silent hall, Difu slightly integrated the information received in the past few days and spent about ten minutes reading it out one by one.

Gradually, the atmosphere became a little depressing, and the faces of the middle and senior management of the surrounding organizations changed slightly. When they looked at each other, most of them saw the same look on each other's faces - surprise and uncertainty!

If you look at this information alone, there is certainly no problem. In other words, even if there is a problem, it is unlikely that people will think of it quickly. But after putting it all together, it sounds like these changes occurred suddenly within a few days, which makes people wonder about a terrifying possibility...

The first is the front line. With the retreat of the Northern Wilderness barbarians, the battle on the front line ended dozens of days ago. As for the collaborators, the gray army will naturally withdraw after receiving the award from Bran's military department. But this is not the case. Bran is very unscrupulous about the retreat procedures and has not allowed a large number of Gray Army soldiers to retreat.

Of course, given that Bran's official work has always been procrastinating, the Gray Army didn't think much about it. They just organized the wounded soldiers and the small teams that had been broken up to retreat first, while the others continued to argue with each other.

But now, when everyone listened to the intelligence about the vaguely surrounding Bran army, combined with the previous procrastination situation, they suddenly felt a sense of danger in their hearts...

Furthermore, due to the reconciliation between the two parties and Losa's status as a member of parliament, Bran's position on Dawn City will naturally not be as tough as before.

It can be said that the roads leading to Shuguang City from the surrounding cities of Shiwanda Mountain are all smooth and blocked. Although there is still a limit on the number of people, there are also a lot of dirty tricks, intimidation and other small tricks behind the scenes, lest the civilians of the city move there en masse, but at least normal travel will not be affected, and some caravans have also begun to test Sexually transporting some goods to Dawn City, hoping to open up a new trade route...

It is full of vitality and everything is developing in a good direction. But now, surrounding cities suddenly blocked roads. Entering a state of martial law half-hidden. Then the meaning behind this is worth pondering...

No, it can't be Bran who wants to attack us... In the depressing atmosphere, a middle-level staff member subconsciously murmured. The sound was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears in this silent hall.

Almost everyone was shocked when they heard this. This guess was not what they had in mind...

That's not true... Although the greedy maggots in King Bran's Court are quite shameful, how many days has it been since the news of this cooperation was announced to the world? Are you going to slap yourself in the face so soon? This was a moment of disbelief, and subconsciously People who argue.

It's really hard to say. But if the other party has any reasons or excuses... This is someone who prepares for the worst and makes rational guesses.

What a fucking excuse! I think these grandsons just want to burn down the rivers and bridges! This is an impulsive...

In that case... Amidst the gradually rising discussion, a middle-aged man standing outside frowned, The garrison of my city suddenly left the city a few days ago, and the direction was around Shiwanda Mountain. Could it be that, Well……

Thinking of the sudden and sharp increase in the defensive strength of the cities around Shiwanda Mountain, the middle-aged man was startled and lost his voice. At the same time, several similar voices came out, It's the same in my city, but I didn't pay attention at the time... It's the same here... Fuck. I went out with the garrison this morning. city……

Those who spoke were all middle-level managers of secret agencies, who were also the backbone. They all played the role of responsible persons in their respective city branches.

As soon as these people opened their mouths, the scene suddenly became a bit chaotic. There is no doubt that Bran is indeed preparing for a big move now, and it is probably aimed at them.

Quiet! Dave patted the table, looked at Josiah who was still frowning in thought, and said. The headquarters' guess is similar to everyone's idea. The key question now is, why is Bran like this? Or, how dare they do this? Well, I wonder if you have received any news about this?

Just like the rational guesser just said, it has only been half a year since Bran and the Gray Army announced their cooperation, and the two parties are in the honeymoon period. There are no irreconcilable contradictions on the table. In this case, Bran's eagerness to take action doesn't make sense.

Of course, the possibility of burning bridges across rivers cannot be ruled out, but this possibility is also the lowest. Because today's Gray Army is not just an individual. Instead, they are closely tied to the new aristocratic forces of the empire. To use an inappropriate analogy, the person standing behind them now is the Second Highness of the Empire.

When it comes to the fight for the throne, even for the sake of the votes of those three members, the new aristocratic forces will not let the gray army be forced to cross the river and burn the bridge. But now, it is a fact that Bran's military is taking frequent actions, but there is no news from the new nobles. This suspicion has cast a layer of smoke over the incident, making Josiah and the others scratch their heads even more about judging the situation.

After a while, it was a pity that even though all the middle and high-level personnel who could rush over in the shortest time were gathered here, no one could come up with information that was weighty enough to make the Bransin nobles be willing to abandon the Gray Army.

Where is the fuse... Rubbing his eyebrows, Josiah filtered all the information he had seen recently in his mind, but still couldn't figure out any clues.

While thinking, somehow, Joshua suddenly remembered Enoch's sudden departure. There is certainly no connection between the two, at least not for Josiah. But I don’t know whether it was because Enoch deliberately concealed the time of his departure or because he did too much intelligence work. Josiah always felt that Enoch left at the wrong time...

Captain...captain.

Huh? Oh... He raised his head and looked at Difu's worried expression. He nodded gently, took a deep breath, quickly cleared his mind, and calmly said: Give the order and send someone to take care of him. Send this information to Dawn City. Also, continue to pursue...

Squeak, before he finished speaking, the door of the meeting hall was opened, and the middle-aged man disguised as the owner of the tavern hurriedly walked in, met Josiah's gaze, saluted and said: Captain, there are two people outside the tavern who are eager to see you. You said you had something important to report...

When Josiah heard this, he frowned slightly. Now was obviously not the time to receive guests. The middle-aged man continued, They said their names are Jack and Carol.

Well……

The meeting was temporarily suspended, and Dave and everyone continued to think about the possible damn fuse. Josiah had already arrived at the front of the tavern, but had just entered the tavern lobby through the back door. Looking at the two figures, one tall and one short, in front of the counter, I couldn't help but be stunned.

The slightly taller man is an old man with gray hair, his back is slightly bowed, and he is wearing a dark blue coarse cloth jacket that has been washed white. He stands in a posture that can be seen as restrained, like a countryman entering the city for the first time. .

The shorter one is a young man wearing a gray-white cloth turban, with some dirt on his face. It was gray, and his body seemed to be very thin due to malnutrition.

Standing together, the first impression given by these two people is that they are country grandparents who have come to join relatives in the city. And the next scene also confirmed this...

Under the gaze of the tavern guests in twos and threes, the white-haired old man turned his head and his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Josiah. The wrinkles on his face trembled slightly as he staggered over, looking excited: Hu Niu, I have finally found you...

Pfft... A certain drinker looked at Josiah, who was dressed in white robes and had a disguised but still pretty face. After all, he couldn't accept this domineering address and opened his mouth to spit out a big mouthful of wine.

He looked at the white-haired old man quickly making hidden glances in an obscene manner that was seriously inconsistent with his age. The corner of Josiah's mouth twitched, but he still came forward with a look of surprise: Grandfather? Brother? Why are you here!

Oh, don't mention it. The fields are deserted and there is not enough food to feed your two-dog brother...

Ergou... Ahem, Grandpa, let's go out and talk, go out and talk...

Pulling and pulling. Josiah dragged the white-haired old man out of the tavern hall, and the young man named Ergou followed him with an expression on his face.

Not far after leaving the hall, the white-haired old man rolled his eyes and took in the surrounding environment. Then he bowed slightly and miraculously straightened his body. He held Josiah's arm tightly and burst into tears: Nah! . Can be regarded as finding an organization. Don’t talk about it first, find me a doctor first, and then find me a bed... Oh, and now hurry up and get me some food. I haven’t eaten for two days. ”

Huh? Josiah was stunned when he heard this, then touched the cloth on the boy's head, and said with a smile: What is this...Jack, little Carol, why are you dressed like this? What do you look like? Also, little Carol, where have you been during this time, and why are you getting together with Jack?

Needless to say, this pair of grandfather and grandson are Jack and little Carol.

As for why he dressed up like this and went to the miserable state of not having anything to eat for two days, that is really a story that brings tears of bitterness...

They had come to Shanxi City to look for Josiah once before, but Josiah had already gone to the front line by then. For little Carol, this was of course a double benefit. After all, she originally wanted to go to the front line to find Brother Tang En. As Twain's damaged friend, Jack naturally couldn't watch little Carol, a half-grown girl, go to the front line alone to look for someone, so he had to give up his plan to return to the southern city and stay with little Carol.

But something happened immediately, that is, he saved the teacher from the civilian college and then inexplicably offended the Temple of Light, which completely disrupted the two people's plans.

Temple of Light, just by hearing the name, you can tell what kind of image this organization presents to others, but now that Jack and Carol have broken into this dirty scene, they will naturally want to kill people and silence them.

At this point, the two people's plan to go to the front line was doubtful. The top priority was to hide in Tibet and not be caught up by the people from the Temple of Light. But is the Temple of Light actually easy to provoke? Even if Jack and Carol couldn't be arrested explicitly for some reason, once this huge machine was activated, its power would instantly cover them, and they would be circled in a certain area for detailed investigation.

That is to say, little Carol has mastered Tang En's secret running skills, quickly made various disguise props, changed her appearance, and evaded waves of overt and covert search teams. Of course, little Carol is young after all, so her technical level may be adequate, but her experience is still too shallow. If she was the only one who was stopped and asked a few words, her flaws would have to be discovered.

Fortunately, there is Jack, an old man beside her, who has many disguise props provided by little Carol, constantly changing various identities, and can always deal with various troubles with actions and words consistent with the identity. Even when he was forced to panic, he was able to sneak into the noble manor with little Carol in a familiar way, and openly appeared as a servant.

Of course, the power of the Temple of Light is too huge after all. Even if they are not detected 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 experts here have been transferred to the front lines to participate in the war. So when the last resort comes, Jack and Carol's strength can still ensure that they can temporarily break out of the encirclement.

It was during this escape that Jack and Carol discussed and decided to return to Mountain Brook City first. This is because the nearest helper they know is in this city. Secondly, because of the existence of Shanxi City as a holy city in the north, the pursuers would not have thought of where they would dare to go. The so-called most dangerous place is also the safest place, and this is the truth.

The tragic process needs to be described in detail, which may be evident from the fact that Jack now opens his mouth to ask for a doctor, a bed, and food...

Sister Shia, this process is too long. I will tell you when I have time. Little Carol politely saluted Josiah, then frowned and looked at the depressed Jack, Brother Jack, You forgot that there is one important thing you haven’t said.”

Oh, by the way, look at my brain, I'm running stupid... After slapping his forehead, Jack's face straightened, and he said urgently, Josiah, please inform your people quickly, what else is there in Dawn City? The people who are there are running away quickly... Oh, no, be on guard, the people from the Temple of Light are coming to kill you.

Uh...what? Joshua's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he exclaimed, What's going on?

It's too troublesome to explain. It's just that we have been chased by people from the Temple of Light for a while... Don't ask why, just wait until I finish. He waved his hand to stop being confused by these shocking news. Josiah, Jack continued, Then just a few days ago, we suddenly found that all the chasing teams behind us disappeared, and even some important road sections were not searched. This situation is obviously abnormal, and we are worried that the other party will be there again. If you have some idea, you have the courage to turn back and follow a chasing team, hoping to eavesdrop on what is going on.

After a pause, Jack's face darkened, Immediately I found that these people were holding a portrait of Tang En in their hands. Well, it looked very similar. They accurately mentioned Tang En's name, identity, etc., and quickly gathered at a location. We are talking about mobilizing our forces to completely annihilate the Gray Army!

Twain's portrait? Can you tell his name and identity accurately? How is it possible... The wanted portrait in the Temple of Light is clearly Tang En's disguise, isn't it? Or is there someone... Well? Enoch took Borg with him four days ago Leaving the city...the trigger that made the new noble forces dare not leak the information, the Temple of Light...

boom! A heavy slap on the palm, combined with many previous information, the fog in front of Lansha's eyes suddenly became clear. However, what this brought was not a happy mood, but an instant livid face, and an angry roar, Here comes someone. , call me all the guards who guarded the meeting hall a few days ago...

Everything happened suddenly in the past few days, and it was just a few days ago that Josiah received the news from Tang En in the meeting hall. Therefore, if her cronies hadn't had a problem and leaked the news. That is, someone eavesdropped on her conversation that day...
