Chapter 321 The Beginning of Evil Thoughts

In the morning, at the north gate of Shanxi City, there were crowds of people and busy traffic.

"Stop, open the door...two people, twenty copper coins."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. This is the entry fee."

"go in."

"Thanks."

The current negotiation will not be announced publicly until the outcome is reached. The Gray Army's army is still confronting Bran's regular regiment in the mountains, so the atmosphere in the north is still tense. However, Shanxi City is still some distance away, so there are no traces of chaos. After a simple process, Tang En's ordinary carriage finally drove into this familiar city after more than ten days of travel.

"Finally we're here again... Well, I don't know if the statue in the city has been repaired. I'll go over and have a look later, haha." While pulling the reins to lead the carriage into the main road, Tang En smiled without looking back. road.

"It's impossible to repair it after you destroyed it like that. Well, we built a new one this time. I heard that it was a master sculptor specially invited from the capital." As the spy chief of the Gray Army, Josiah said: Of course he knew the news.

Tang En raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then you really have to appreciate it."

"Uh... Tang, don't mess around. The Temple of Light is taking over the defense of the statue this time."

"What do you mean..." Tang En touched his nose and smiled helplessly, "I'm not the reincarnation of the God of Destruction. How can I destroy every statue I see? And there are two acquaintances here. Well, it's best not to do it. Good deal.”

"That's good." Joshua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's no wonder she was so sensitive. In fact, several statues in the city have been destroyed by Tang En. "By the way, the two acquaintances you just mentioned... …It’s Powers and Bernie, right?”

"Yes." Tang En nodded with emotion on his face: "I really don't know how to put it... It's fate, it's really fate. You can meet these two mourning stars wherever you go."

"Haha, you are like this in their hearts, right?" Joshua covered his mouth and laughed, then tilted his head as if he remembered something, pursed his lips and said, "Tang, in fact, Powers and the others... Well, I received a message some time ago According to the news, the Arms Department asked General Powers to be responsible for hunting down the personnel of secret agencies in various cities, but he avoided it by pretending to be injured. Not only that, while the police departments in each city were taking action, only Shanxi City But there was no movement at all. Tang, maybe between you..."

"There is no possibility of reconciliation." Waving his hand to interrupt Joshua, Tang En pinched his chin: "You don't know Bovis well enough. The reason why he didn't take action against the Gray Army is because he has no interest in it at all. . But he is very interested in assassins and bounty hunters, so he won’t let me go... Haha, but there’s nothing to worry about, because he can’t do anything to me now.”

The so-called person who knows a person best is often not his friend, but his opponent. There is no doubt about Powes' ability, Tang En admitted this, otherwise he would not have used Liva City as his last resort when he was running away. Similarly, being able to cooperate decisively after hearing the words of Tang En, the assassin, shows that Powis' understanding of Tang En is not low.

It can be said that if Bovis really takes action against the secret agency, life will definitely not be easy for Josiah and the others now. But precisely because of his understanding, Tang En had long concluded that Powers would not be interested in this aspect. As for himself... To be honest, Twain really wasn't worried about what Powis would do to him. He was neither Samp nor Oliver. He had enough understanding and vigilance about Powis, so how could he fall into the other party's trap. And as long as he doesn't fall into trouble, with Tang En's strength, there is nothing Powers can do to him.

Josiah just made a suggestion casually. After listening to Tang En's analysis, he naturally would not continue to persuade. After chatting for a while, the carriage finally approached the city square.

Sure enough, a taller white jade statue than before was erected in the center of the square. The image has not changed, she still looks like a goddess holding a vase. This is certain, after all, this statue is not only the saint of the Temple of Light, but also the goddess of Shanxi City for hundreds of years.

It was indeed a master's work... Tang En narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly praised it. Although the image of the statue has not changed, with Tang En's keen observation ability, he can naturally see a unique and exquisite refinement in the details.

Huh? Tang En's eyes suddenly opened. He had just seen a very fine white light flashing across the statue quickly.

"This statue has magical fluctuations..." Joshua on the side murmured at the right time, hesitantly guessing, "It should have the function of protection and warning, so that after the statue is attacked, people from the church can rush over quickly."

Tang En nodded in understanding. This was like the God of Light pendant when he killed Sethman last time, but the one in front of him was bigger. Shrugging, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "You're so damn willing to spend a lot of money!"

After hearing the sour words with unknown meaning, Josiah couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, yes, to prevent people with ulterior motives like you."

"Tsk." Tang En laughed, then turned around and drove the carriage across the square, whispering to himself, "Who cares about this broken statue? Wouldn't it be better to kill someone..."

After passing the central square, the traffic gradually dwindled, and the carriage gradually accelerated towards the secret institution of Shanxi City - the Creekside Tavern.

…

With Tang En's investment, the secret agency's life is now much better. The branches in each city have moved out of the original slums and have established small or large businesses. Although it has not yet turned a profit, everything seems to be on the right track.

As one of the original headquarters of the secret agency, Shanxi City already had a tavern to make a living, but nothing has changed now.

Because I suddenly received news beforehand, I was on the long table near the door of the tavern. Enoch and several other senior secret agency officials who had welcomed Tang En were waiting here.

"The situation has changed so fast, it's really unbelievable... Our gray army actually asked Bran to lower his head to negotiate. If those old brothers were still there, alas..." With rather emotional words, the table The old man with a white beard shook his head slightly and drank the ale in the cup.

"Don't be too sad, Mr. Ba. This is always good news. Your old brothers must also want to see this scene." Difu on the side comforted him.

"Well, yeah, always good news!"

This old man is one of the top leaders of the secret organization. Most people call him Balao, and he is also an old man of the Gray Army. He used to be an excellent scout in the army and competed with Bran soldiers for many years, but now he has joined Josiah's agency. Perhaps only such people can appreciate the many flavors of this news.

Seeing that the scene was a bit dull, another young man smiled and said: "Actually, I think the army should capture a few cities. By then, the negotiations will be even harder. Haha..."

Several people smiled in response, and Difu also smiled and said: "It's not that easy. Once you break into the city, there is no room for change. And you don't know that I was with the group leader a few days ago. , just as our army was approaching outside, Bran mobilized 100,000 soldiers within a few days to encircle it. If it weren't for the fact that the battle on the front line was in full swing... tsk tsk, in short, it cannot be underestimated. "

"Yes, that's exactly the truth."

"Let the leaders worry about these things. We still have to do a good job in the current negotiations."

"..."

In the morning, the tavern was at its bleakest. Now that there are no outsiders here, there is no need to cover up when a few people speak.

However, in these lively discussions, Enoch, who was sitting opposite Balao, did not participate. His expression was calm and there was no trace of happiness or anger. His attention should not be focused on these topics.

"By the way, Difu. This time the captain is back, well, then Captain Tang should be here too, right?"

Enoch's ears twitched, and his eyes became extremely sharp in an instant. However, he reacted quickly and returned to his calm state without anyone noticing. He tilted his head slightly to look at Dev.

Nodding, Dave showed a hint of imperceptible bitterness on his lips: "Of course I will come."

"Oh..." Several young people at the table showed a hint of resentment at the same time, and then quickly covered it up in embarrassment after meeting each other's eyes.

Difu took in the expressions of several people and sighed inwardly. Of course he knows everyone's thoughts, and he didn't before. But he rushed to Liva City with Josiah, and he knew clearly what kind of emotional state Josiah was in after Tang En was injured, which clearly exceeded the limit of friends. So after leaving there, Dave wisely put his thoughts aside so as not to add to his sorrow in the future.

Ba Lao did not feel the complicated emotions of the juniors. After hearing this, he stroked his white beard and praised: "Captain Tang is really amazing, two earth-level warriors and a great magician. To be honest, I Everyone thought that this was a fatal outcome. But he first killed Eunice in the city and solved the siege of the organization. Then he ran for nearly a thousand miles, visited several cities, and finally made a comeback in one fell swoop. Huh... so happy, he is a hero! Come on, for Let’s drink to this!”

There was a momentary pause, and then several wine glasses were raised and clashed.

"Ba Lao is right, this battle is indeed shocking."

"It's ridiculous that the believers of the Temple of Light are still complacent about this, but they don't expect that the hero is from our Gray Army. Ha..."

"Come on, do it!"

No matter how many people have subtle thoughts about Tang En, they still have to sincerely praise the last sentence for this incredible record.

Of course, this does not include Enoch. He drank the wine in one gulp and suppressed the anger in his heart again.

Of course he has reason to be angry. You must know that before this, most of the intelligence work of the secret agency was under his control, and even first-hand information had to pass through his eyes first. Enoch didn't think highly of Josiah, she was just a yellow-haired girl. No matter how talented she was, how high could she be? Facts have proved this. After the establishment of the secret agency, Josiah focused on propaganda, and he also successfully captured the intelligence piece. Of course, it is not easy to achieve this, and Enoch has put a lot of effort into this.

But since Tang En arrived, everything has changed. Josiah began to consciously take back the information rights. Even if she was in other places before, the information would always be sent to her first. At this time, Enoch suddenly realized that he had previously focused most of his attention on how to seize intelligence from Joshua, thus neglecting to establish good relationships with middle- and low-level intelligence personnel. Now when Josiah resumed his presence in the intelligence field, those intelligence officers instantly changed their allegiance, leaving him behind and sending the intelligence over without hesitation...

After all the hard work, now he was making wedding clothes for her. How could this not make Enoch furious? He didn't believe that Joshua's transformation was the result of a sudden enlightenment. The problem clearly lay with Tang En...

Humph, first you prevented me from becoming the leader of a secret agency, and then you destroyed the foundation I had worked so hard to build. Son Tang En, how can I tolerate you!

Just when Enoch was thinking about all kinds of things, suddenly, click click click...

There were a few clatters of horse hooves, and finally they stopped at the door of the tavern.

"Captain Tang...the captain is back!" A young man sitting outside suddenly cheered and stood up instantly to face the door.

With a crash, the tables and chairs were pushed forward, and the remaining people came forward to greet them.

Huh... Enoch, who was lagging behind, let out a long sigh of relief and rubbed his face with his hands. After showing a rather enthusiastic smile, he stood up and walked towards the door.

"welcome……"
