Chapter 409: Chasing and Escape (Part 1)

"Aren't these guys afraid of death?" Hu Shinan's adopted son Hu Kun asked in surprise.

As the leader of Liuzhou Grain Company, Hu Shinan naturally cannot leave the local area for too long. He left Shenzhou yesterday night, leaving only his adopted son as a liaison to cooperate with various actions of the Privy Council and to bring this place Any changes in the form will be reported to the company at any time.

The pelican was silent.

Yesterday, he received a report that a giant monster landed at the door of the branch and sent the seriously injured personnel out of White River City.

His subordinates were all cultivated by himself and had nothing to do with the Privy Council. Therefore, they did not know some inside information that only spies could know, such as the methods that Jinxia City might use and the most threatening opponents.

Olina Okan, the Dragon of the West Pole, is one of them.

But what surprised him more than this was Jinxia City's reaction speed.

Pelican originally thought that the woman was dead, but she didn't expect that less than an hour after being stabbed, Olina would appear in White River City!

If he hadn't sent someone to keep an eye on the door of the branch office, he wouldn't have believed that news could travel back and forth between the two cities in one night.

That’s hundreds of miles away!

This information is so important that the Privy Council knows nothing about it.

Every time Pelican thought about this, he couldn't help but want to secretly scold the headquarters - in the past, it was those arrogant alchemists who were responsible for the intelligence gathering work, but in the end they couldn't even figure out such basic things.

"Sir?" the subordinate asked again.

"Are you ready for the person you were asked to find yesterday?" Pelican shook his head secretly and shook off these distracting thoughts. No matter what problems there were, he should prioritize completing his mission.

"Yes, it's ready. They are all refugees without identity. They have never seen a few taels of silver in their lives." The subordinate grinned, "Don't let them chop people, they can skin those guys alive!"

"Then do what we did yesterday and try to direct hatred towards Jinxia City." Pelican ordered. Originally, he planned to bribe a group of people to directly attack the branch office, so it would not make much difference to use them in advance.

"I understand, little one."

After his men left, Pelican thought for a moment, took out a charcoal pen and wrote something on a white paper, and then said to Hu Kun, "Let's go."

"Leave? Aren't you here waiting for their good news?"

"Rather than waiting, I prefer to overlook the overall situation from a high place." Pelican said calmly.

"Oh well."

The two of them left the bungalow, looked around for a moment, and after confirming that no one was watching, they walked towards the main street.

The arrival of the dragon yesterday was completely beyond his expectation, and it also made him feel a little bit more bad thoughts. Since the West Extreme Dragon Demon can send people away, it can also send people here. The Affairs Bureau did not care about yesterday's riot and continued to promote the theory that Jinxia must save this morning. Could it be because they have a few more people behind them? A helper?

The Privy Council has reminded that Jin Xia's most likely countermeasure is to send alchemists to eliminate the spies. Once they are exposed, they will definitely die. Pelican had no doubt how difficult those alchemists who knew magic and magic were. Although the monitor did not observe whether any alchemists arrived when the dragon landed, he decided to be on the safe side and leave the hut as a temporary residence first.

The words written on the paper were to tell his men that he would be away for a while and would come back in the evening.

After bypassing two streets, the Pelican boarded a teahouse. From the third-floor Accord, one could just see the grain store in the distance and the bungalow at the foot.

He took out the lookout glass from his arms and pointed it in the direction of the crowded grain store——

On the other side, facing the branch team who announced the situation with amplified notes, the people showed deep suspicion.

"What did you say? Jinxia's rescue team is already on the way?"

"Is it true? Didn't someone say yesterday that Jinxia City was out of food?"

"Of course it's true! Folks, please think carefully. Although the Baihe City Affairs Bureau has only been established for a month, has it ever deceived you?" Kong Liang said earnestly, "You can exchange for salt by registering the household registration list. Retrial the prisoners with grievances in prison, investigate the illegal acts of the government officials, and clear the victims... Which one have we not done? Governor Jiang is still in prison!"

"How do you explain the hundreds of thousands of extra refugees overseas?"

"They are all elves, elves know it! A kind of demon! They are good at planting, and they usually eat fruits from the trees. The idea that overseas people are robbing Shenzhou people of their food is simply a rumor!"

"Uh-" Upon hearing this answer, the questioner was speechless.

If it is a demon, it does make sense that its habits are different from those of humans.

"In the final analysis, you only need to wait for one day, and you will know whether what I said is true or false!" Kong Liang opened his hands, "I am not trying to dissuade you from grabbing food, I am just telling you a fact - Jinxia City's support will be there soon arrival!"

Suddenly, a tabby cat ran up to the table and barked at them.

Seeing this instruction, everyone in the affairs branch immediately threw down the billboard and evacuated to the other side of the street, without any intention of discouraging the masses.

Everyone present could not help but be stunned. What kind of trick is this? He just shouted a few words and then left immediately. Is it possible that he was afraid that his lies would be exposed?

No one left, but their moods changed slightly - what if what these people said was true? Jinxia City will provide relief and food supply to Baihe City. If the increase in food prices is only temporary, wouldn't the more I buy now, the more I will lose?

Anyway...just wait a day.

Not only the crowd at the scene was in a daze, but also the people in the Privy Council.

The leader did not expect that as soon as he gathered all the troops, the target retreated completely, leaving only a row of tables across the middle of the road and plaques scattered on the ground.

The attacking words that had been brewing in his heart for a long time could only be held back at this moment, which was really uncomfortable.

"Sir, what should we do in this situation?" The refugee asked blankly.

"You continue to follow the crowd, and I will notify you when necessary." The leader turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, walking towards the station quietly.

What he didn't notice was that there were many wild cats on the eaves on both sides of the street.

...

What's going on? Why didn't the expected chaos happen?

The pelican stared at the direction of the grain store and frowned slightly-he hadn't seen where his men were, and the people in the affairs branch seemed to have retreated in a hurry, and they didn't even bother to pack up the things they brought.

This performance was a bit too embarrassing.

However, those tables across the street are just like "roadblocks". If you want to rush through them in one go, you will have to work hard.

Roadblocks?

Pelican was suddenly shocked. Did they bring these things to appease the people?

He suddenly pulled his vision back and turned his head to look at the surroundings of the bungalow.

Those streets and alleys were still quiet, with no signs of enemy ambush.

Maybe I was thinking too much...

Those men were not good at other things, but they were very good at anti-tracking. They should not be so easily targeted.

Pelican put down the telescope and rubbed his eyes. At this time, he saw a few wild cats playing in the distance. They seemed to be playing some kind of game, one after another, lining up along the top of the eaves and walking forward, just like soldiers in training.

With the temperament of cats, this scene was really a bit strange.

He snorted and was about to continue to observe the situation at the grain shop when two wild cats suddenly crossed the roof and walked towards the teahouse.

The pelican focused slightly, then took a breath!

Parallel to the cat, he saw two pedestrians in the street!
