Chapter 2474 Tracking (two chapters in one)(1/2)
"Boom..."
There was a sudden roar in the distance. There had been no thunder for a while, but now there was a sudden thunder, which shocked many people in the city.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was lying on the bed to rest. When he heard the thunder outside, he opened his eyes instantly.
"This thunder is wrong."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had heard many thunders, but this thunder did not seem to occur naturally.
"Boom..."
The thunder roared continuously, as if trying to make up for the previous rest time.
Some residents in the city couldn't bear it and raised their hands to cover their ears, trying to stop the thunder from entering their ears.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the window, opened the window and looked outside. The pouring rain was still falling, but the dark clouds in the sky were much lighter.
At this moment, there was no obvious flash of lightning in the direction where the thunder sounded.
Just as the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead guessed, this thundering sound did not occur naturally.
…………
More than ten kilometers away, in a remote place in the city.
Teams of soldiers were guarding the place. There was a middle-aged man with a majestic face standing by the river. Beside him was a servant, who held an umbrella in his hand.
This umbrella is a magical weapon. The unfolded barrier covers a small area so that the rain falling from the sky cannot wet the majestic middle-aged man.
"Do you know why that adult is staring at the river?" A soldier whispered.
"I don't know, but of course there is a reason for doing this. Maybe that gentleman has discovered any clues about the rebels." Another soldier said.
"You two, be quiet." The soldier captain came to the men who were speaking, scolded, and reminded them at the same time.
"Don't talk about that adult behind his back, or you may lose your life."
"Yes." The two soldiers were so frightened by their superiors that they trembled and did not dare to speak again.
The middle-aged man with a majestic face was the helper invited by the city lord. After yesterday's rest, he came early this morning to look for traces of the rebels.
At this moment, there were soldiers deployed by him in many places in the city. Although everyone didn't know why he did this, no one dared to ask more.
…………
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood in front of the window for a while and found that many soldiers passed by the door.
Seeing this situation, he knew that the big shot coming here was going to take action.
It's still raining now. If it hadn't rained, he really wanted to go out and see how the big shot found the hiding rebels.
"Da, da, da..."
There are several cavalrymen running on the street, they should be delivering messages.
This can be seen from the mailboxes they carried on their backs. I don't know what kind of urgent message made them run at such a fast speed despite the heavy rain.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the leaving soldiers, and his thoughts tumbled a few times.
"Boom..."
The unusual sound of thunder occurred again, but this time the sound was much smaller than before.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, heard the sound and went over, guessing that the big man might be at the place where the thunder occurred.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door of the guest room, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead shouted to the person outside the door.
The waiter walked in with breakfast, put the food on the table, and then told the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, some gossip he had just learned.
"Sir, I just heard from other guests that the big shots who came to our place have now begun to arrest the rebels."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said with a smile, "You are quite well-informed."
"Hehe." The waiter raised his hand and scratched his head, and said modestly, "It's all hearsay, it can't be taken seriously."
After the waiter left, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw another group of soldiers appear on the street.
This group of soldiers is unusual. Their equipment is very sophisticated.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the equipment of these soldiers and knew that they were the city lord's guards. This was a much higher status than the soldiers he usually saw.
Now the city lord's guards have been dispatched, and they should be fully cooperating with the big shot to capture the rebels.
…………
By the river, a serious-looking middle-aged man said to the servant, "It's time to start."
"Yes." The servant nodded, and then took out a metal ball from his arms.
This metal ball is hollow and has a silver-white pattern on its surface.
The servant injected spiritual energy into his spiritual weapon, and the spiritual weapon immediately bloomed with spiritual light, and then floated up.
"call out."
The metal ball flew into the river, and the river, which had become somewhat turbulent due to the heavy rain, suddenly began to become calm.
Although it was raining and the wind was blowing, the river was very calm. All the soldiers who saw this scene widened their eyes.
After more than ten seconds, the metal ball flew out of the river, followed closely by a package wrapped in a tarpaulin.
"There is something hidden in the river." Some soldiers exclaimed when they saw this scene.
The soldier captain quickly glared at his men, making them shut up in fear.
The soldiers present now looked at the serious-looking middle-aged man and his servant, their eyes full of admiration.
It would have been impossible for them to discover that there was something hidden in the river.
The big man went out early in the morning and found this thing not long after.
The servant opened the things he found, and soon some bottles and jars appeared in front of him.
These bottles and jars contain very high-quality healing medicines. Although they are expensive, they are all ignored.
At this moment, what the servant focused on was an envelope that had been opened.
"Sir." The servant took out the letter from the envelope and handed it to the middle-aged man with a serious face.
"How brave you are to dare to collude with the rebels." After reading the contents of the letter, the big man's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Guys like this who colluded with the rebels did not need big shots to catch them in person. He glanced at the servant, who nodded understandingly, and then called the captain of the soldiers in the distance.
"Now take your troops and arrest the person who wrote this letter..." the servant handed the letter in his hand to the soldier captain and ordered.
The city lord has issued an order to fully cooperate with the distinguished guests to capture the rebels.
The soldier captain took the letter, nodded immediately, and quickly glanced at the contents of the letter, and the anger in his heart instantly rose.
"He hid it really deep."
As soon as the words fell, the soldier captain immediately left the scene with some of his men and rushed to the house of the businessman who was colluding with the rebels.
…………
It rained heavily all day today, and towards evening, the rain finally started to lighten up.
The residents in the city were very happy when they saw that the rain had become lighter.
When the rain stopped completely, many people came out of their homes and went to the streets to get some fresh air.
The air after the rain is very fresh. People who come to the street meet acquaintances and chat happily.
Suddenly, a piece of news began to spread among the crowd.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead planned to go out for dinner in the evening, so after the rain stopped, he came out of the inn.
When I came to a restaurant that I often went to before, I ordered some dishes and then sat and waited for them to be brought to the table.
"Have you heard? A businessman's house was ransacked today."
"What's going on? It's been a long time since a businessman's house was confiscated. What crime did he commit?"
"I heard people said that they colluded with the rebels, and now the whole family is in jail."
"It turned out that he was colluding with the rebels, so it is normal for his house to be confiscated. He deserves it."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead listened to the conversation between the two diners at the next table and thought to himself that the big shot was really powerful, catching someone related to the rebels so quickly.
When I came out of the restaurant after dinner, the sun was almost disappearing in the sky.
The weather was very sunny after the rain, and the beautiful sunset dyed the blue sky red.
I haven't seen such a sky for several days, and now I suddenly see it, which makes people feel happy unconsciously.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance and stood there for a moment.
Suddenly there was a noisy sound in the distance. Many passers-by on the street heard the noise and immediately ran away, then fled to the street.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to his senses at this time. Like the passers-by, he glanced at the source of the noise in the distance, and then moved to the corner.
The originally crowded street suddenly became spacious, and then everyone stared at a luxurious carriage.
