Chapter 2509 Departure (two chapters in one)(1/2)

Under the curtain of rain, a large number of soldiers rushed towards the destination indicated by the orders issued by their superiors.

As the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought, the place where these soldiers were going was where many merchants lived.

As the soldiers arrived, the merchants were in a panic. Many of them were thinking quickly whether they had gotten into any trouble, so these soldiers came here.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

"Open the door." There was a rapid knock on the door, and at the same time there were shouts from soldiers.

After a while, the doors of many merchants' houses were opened, and then a large number of soldiers entered the merchants' houses and began to search them carefully.

After a period of confusion, the soldiers gained nothing, and then all the soldiers left the place where they were searching.

"My goods are so messed up that I will spend a lot of time sorting them out."

"What are those soldiers looking for? They look very anxious."

"Does anyone know?"

"That's not clear."

"I managed to put the warehouse in order, and now it's a mess. What's this?"

Complaints sounded one after another. These businessmen only dared to complain after the soldiers left, but they did not dare to say these things in front of them, otherwise they would be scolded, and in more serious cases, they would be arrested and put in prison for a few days.

In the distance, at the end of the street, a soldier captain stood under the eaves. He folded his hands on his chest and closed his eyes to meditate.

There was the sound of footsteps in my ears, and soon a subordinate came to the soldier captain and reported to him the search situation.

"Captain, we searched carefully and found no rebels."

"Have you searched the homes of each of your merchants?" the soldier captain opened his eyes and looked at his men with burning eyes and asked.

"No one dares to take this matter lightly. The search process was very careful." His subordinate quickly said that he did not dare to slack off in this matter.

The soldier captain looked at his men, and after half a minute, he sighed.

"Now we have found nothing, it's a little hard to explain when we go back."

The subordinate rolled his eyes when he heard this, then he lowered his voice and made a suggestion in a low voice.

"Why don't we just grab some people and go back to work, so we won't disappoint the Lord."

After hearing what his men said, the soldier captain's face suddenly became serious.

"That adult is not easy to fool. If we do this, if he finds out, we won't be able to eat and walk around."

"Uh..." The subordinate was startled, hesitating and not daring to speak any more.

"Don't have such thoughts in the future. Now go and gather everyone, and we will report truthfully when we go back..." the soldier captain ordered.

"Yes." The subordinate nodded, then turned and left, walked into the rain curtain, and ran quickly towards where his companions were.

Not long after, many soldiers gathered and began to return towards the city lord's palace.

Although it is raining heavily now, many residents are full of curiosity when they hear the movement on the street.

Residents quietly opened their windows and looked out onto the street. When they saw many soldiers passing by their homes, they couldn't help but become nervous and secretly prayed that these soldiers would not come to their homes.

Not long after, all the soldiers left and the place where they were searched returned to silence.

…………

Thunder and lightning flashed continuously in the sky, and a large amount of rain fell on the house and along the eaves to the ground, forming small streams.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood in front of the window, watching a large amount of rainwater flowing into the low-lying areas on the road. His thoughts involuntarily spread out, imagining the scene of rainwater gathering in the low-lying areas.

Not long after, dense footsteps appeared at the end of the street.

At this time, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to his senses and looked towards the end of the street. He suddenly saw the soldiers he had seen before.

These soldiers were very fast at this moment. They passed by the door of the inn and disappeared quickly.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found that these soldiers were intact and judged that they had just gone on a mission and did not find the target. Otherwise, it would not be like this.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door of the room, and after a while, the waiter walked into the room.

At this moment, he was holding a plate of fruit in his hand, which was ordered by the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, please use it with caution."

The waiter put the fruit in his hand on the table, then turned and left.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped him at this time and asked, "Didn't you say before that the warehouse was recruiting thieves? Has the same thing happened in the warehouse during this time?"

The waiter shook his head, "That's not true. The warehouse has not been robbed since the last time it was robbed."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, and then the waiter left. He sat at the table and ate fruit. After a while, the sound of wind and thunder outside became smaller.

Time passed, and towards evening, the rain that had been falling all day became very light.

This weather change is surprising, because the recent heavy rainstorms have lasted for a long time, and it is rare for the rain to lighten up so quickly.

Many people think that the lightening of the rain now is only temporary, and it will rain heavily again soon.

However, the development of things was beyond everyone's expectation. The rain finally stopped and it did not rain as hard as everyone thought.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood in front of the window, looking at the sky that was gradually clearing, with a surprised expression on his face.

"The heavy rain stopped so quickly this time. Could it be that the rainy season has changed?"

As the heavy rain stopped, the streets gradually became lively. You could see many people coming out of their homes and starting shopping on the streets.

Stores that were previously closed were opened, and small vendors also came out to set up stalls.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the inn. He walked around the street for a while, looking at the lively streets, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It was raining heavily not long ago, but now that the rain has stopped, the deserted streets have immediately returned to life. Everyone is really hardworking."

"Gululu..." His stomach growled. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had eaten some fruit just now, but he soon became hungry.

He looked around and then randomly found a restaurant to eat.

After dinner, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the restaurant. He did not go back to the inn to rest, but walked to where the soldiers he saw during the day were going.

Although the soldiers were safe and sound, and most likely no battle broke out, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead still wanted to go to the scene to see for himself.

It took him more than ten minutes to reach his destination.

Passers-by eating at the stalls set up by vendors on the roadside were talking animatedly about what happened not long ago.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood on the roadside and listened. Through some information revealed by passers-by, he roughly knew the process of the soldiers' previous search in this area.

As expected, the soldiers searched the place carefully and found nothing.

"A battle broke out earlier to capture the rebels, and the rebels were rescued. It seems that the big shot sent a lot of people to search, but unfortunately, the rescued rebel was not captured in the end..."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was muttering to himself regretfully. At this moment, chaos suddenly broke out at the end of the street.

"Get out of the way."

"Don't block the road."

A rough voice shouted loudly. Passers-by on the road were startled when they heard the sound and quickly retreated to both sides of the road.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance. He suddenly saw a luxurious carriage.

This carriage is very familiar. It is the carriage that the big man rides in. There are many soldiers guarding the surroundings, asking passers-by to quickly get out of the congested road.

"The rain has just stopped, why did this big man come out?" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was a little confused when he saw the luxurious carriage appearing on the street.

However, he soon guessed a possibility. There was a high probability that this big man appeared now to attract the hiding rebels.

At this time, the rebels were hiding very secretly, and the person they hated most was probably this big shot.

If there was a chance to take action against this big shot, those rebels would not easily miss such a good opportunity.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the luxurious carriage, his eyes moving as the carriage moved.

There are many passers-by on both sides of the street, and they don't dare to speak now, for fear of offending these people they can't afford to offend, and getting into trouble.

The luxurious carriage moved slowly, and it took a long time to reach the end of the street, then turned a corner and disappeared.

The quiet streets soon returned to bustling scenes after the big shots left.

Passers-by whispered in lowered volumes, discussing the big shot just now.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead listened to the comments of passers-by around him, then turned and left.

He is leaving the city now and wants to avoid getting into trouble as much as possible.

…………

Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.

There is not a single white cloud in the clear sky, and the sun hangs high in the sky, pouring bright sunlight on the earth.

In the inn, a figure lying on the bed opened his eyes.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead yawned, then got up and got out of bed. After eating breakfast, he came out of the inn and called a carriage on the roadside.

"Da, da, da..."
