"Before this, I have only seen one person who worked for NPCs without any flaws, and that was the Salted Fish King. But - even though you are his brother, I don't believe... you can do it too.

His point."

Next to the luxurious mansion, Duan Qing and the others who had just glanced briefly hid in the alley where they had come to discuss. Faced with that kind of array of guards, they were not prepared from the outside to the inside.

The first thing they discussed was how to sneak in safely.

Of course, the plan of dressing up as a noble waiter or something and then sneaking in was rejected at the beginning, because among the few people present, there was no one who was good at this kind of method.

"Then...how about we pretend to be people from other families? For example, Connelly's men..."

"You guys, I don't know. I've just arrived in Tania. Even the most incompetent guard can still see this kind of thing." Duan Qing said helplessly: "And...

I don’t agree with using someone else’s name.”

"As far as I know, the current confrontation in the principality has become very fierce. God knows what the relationship between this guy named Tasker and Connelly is." Duan Qing, thinking of the fat middle-aged man, took another look at the situation.

He retracted his head and said: "If we do this and are kicked out by others and our intentions are exposed, it will be very bad."

"I only know that Carlos must be at odds with the people here." Old Taoist Hong Shan muttered, "Otherwise, we would not be given such a task."

"Oh, why do you want so much? Why don't we just rush in and it's over!" Xiao Hongchen, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, finally jumped up at the top of his voice: "Let's go up and ask them directly for..."

Snapped--

"Shut up!"

Mengzhu slapped him on the back of the head: "Don't come up with bad ideas again, or I won't give you this month's meal money!"

I asked why this guy is so obedient, it turns out he is just like me... Duan Qing muttered something silently in his heart, and then quickly smoothed things over: "Laughing at Hongchen is also a way, but... the success rate is very low.

.”

"This mission can't be that simple... Old Taoist brother, haven't you investigated this place before?"

"Well... we have only been here once before, but we only looked at it from a distance, so we don't have much information..."

"What is the specific content of the file Carlos asked you to find?"

"Well, let me think about it...it seems to be some information about Zaraha City."

Duan Qing was horrified in his heart, but he said calmly on the surface: "Zalaha City, is it the one in Felong County?"

"Yes." Hongshan Taoist leader replied: "I heard that the top official confessed one by one after he escaped. Speaker Pamir put a lot of pressure on him in order to ask these things from him."

"That's it..." Duan Qing touched his nose and hid his eyes: "Then how did this guy get these things?"

"Well, then I don't know." The player shook his head: "I only know that this Tasker is from the noble faction..."

"Aristocratic faction?"

"They are the most protective group of parliamentarians in the local area." Mengzhu on the other side explained: "The group of people who advocate the protection of the principality's aristocratic status and local interests are the loudest group, and they are also the group of people who oppose the speaker every day.

, some of them didn’t even take the empire seriously at first. But since the war burned to the Fars Fortress, they were so frightened that they wanted to sue for peace with the empire every day.”

At this point, the girl pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction: "A group of people who only care about having fun all day long ended up selling the principality for themselves..."

"Hey, hey, don't be so patriotic, okay?" Duan Qing quickly stopped the other person's thoughts, and then continued the previous question: "So, where is that Carlos?"

"He should be someone from the Speaker." Old Taoist Hong Shan replied: "According to the flow of outsiders in charge of the city, that is, we adventurers..."

"So that's it... I understand." Duan Qing nodded, and then focused his attention on the mansion not far away again: "It seems that this is not an ordinary theft..."

"Uh, um... I think we should just go in and get it."

"I want you to go, I don't think there's much fun." Ignoring Xiao Hongchen's suggestion again, Duan Qing's eyes flicked back and forth on the iron fence around the mansion: "Well... let's go take a look around."

"Around? Are you planning to..."

"Climb over the wall when you are ready?" Duan Qing said: "Now... we are going to do this."

"Just sneak in? Is it that simple?"

"Do you think this is a very technical job? Oh, by the way, Xiao Hongchen, you can't go." Duan Qing raised his hand: "I really can't think of how to avoid attracting attention..."

"No! Such an interesting thing..."

"Or you can do something else to attract the attention of those guards——"

A beautiful melody suddenly sounded from the other end of the street. Duan Qing stopped what he was saying, and together with others, looked at the end of the street where the fence was. A man with a shabby hair in a shabby robe, holding a model

A weird xylophone came over from the other end of the street. A short and fast melody came out from the strings of the accordion, and soon it was connected to its holder, approaching the corner where Duan Qing and the others were.

.But perhaps attracted by the laughter and singing in the mansion, the disheveled man turned his head in that direction, and then slowly stepped back.

Under the eager gaze of the two guards, he walked to the front of the gate and stood still.

"Your - teardrops - turn into - amber -"

There was still the beautiful sound of the piano, accompanied by short words, and the man stood right in front of this luxurious mansion and sang to himself. The breeze blew the shabby gray robe into the air,

It also gave this man the feeling of a bard. However, no one in the surrounding audience, including Duan Qing, thought it was a beautiful song, because the beautiful melody produced by the piano was broken by the man.

The generally tone-deaf voice was covered up.

"Seal this - love - forever -"

"Hey, who are you?"

One of the guards finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to drive the man away: "Go away quickly, this is Lord Tusker's mansion, don't beg for food here!"

The man didn't realize it and was still singing to himself. However, among Duan Qing and the others who were covering their ears and peeking behind, a voice belonging to Xiao Hongchen suddenly came out: "That man... I seem to

I’ve seen him.”

"You know him?"

"Yes, that's the one who runs the world of martial arts." Xiao Hongchen rubbed his hands: "But the last time I saw him, he was still the one who ran the world of martial arts. How come he has become a singer now?"

"Whatever it is, you have something to do now." Looking at the man whose clothes were being dragged by the guards but still singing at the top of his voice, Duan Qing pressed the heads of several people back one by one, and then

He stretched out his thumb and gestured in that direction: "Go and deal with that man."

"ah?"

"Yes, by the way..." Duan Qing turned his head and looked at the end of the row of fences.

"Get attention."

******************

After quietly turning a corner and climbing over a fence, Duan Qing looked around to make sure no one was seeing him, then jumped up from the ground and jumped directly in from the outside of the iron fence.

"Hey, uncle, wait for me..."

Mengzhu's cry came from behind, and Duan Qing didn't reply. He just lay down in the grass and looked around, then waved to the back.

"Wow, you are so skilled, have you ever..."

"Stop talking nonsense, play more games, and naturally you will know everything." Duan Qingsheng interrupted the other party, and then crouched towards the direction of the mansion: "Follow me, there used to be a guard here, but it seems that he has been taken over by the front.

The movement attracted me."

"I hope Xiao Hongchen is okay..."

"Is everything okay? It's good that he doesn't cause any trouble."

Duan Qing shook his head, confirmed the direction from which the laughter came, then leaned sideways and pressed himself against the wall of a nearby room: "Is that the direction of the Hongshan veteran?"

"Yes, but I don't think such an important thing should be placed in a place like the lobby, right?"

"We're not going from the hall anyway." Looking at the situation ahead, Duan Qing gestured to the girl: "One in front, two in back, you go to the left, I'll go..."

"Ah? What do you mean, uncle?"

"Well, I'm sorry." Duan Qing seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses, and patted his head: "You and a friend of mine... so we were a little forgetful."

While the girl was snickering, Duan Qing looked over again: "It's still not moving. It seems I can only solve it myself."

"Hey, uncle." Mengzhu suddenly asked: "Should I...should stay outside like that old man?"

"Don't think blindly, you are an agility player." Duan Qing said without looking back: "In other games, this type of player has another name."

"That name is: Thief."

The grass suddenly shook violently in front of Mengzhu - before the last word could be heard, Duan Qing's figure had disappeared in front of her eyes. The panicked girl hurriedly covered her mouth to prevent herself from attracting attention.

She screamed and leaned her body against the wall of the house, but before she could react, a hollow muffled sound came from in front of her position.

Thump—thud.

"Okay, did you succeed?"

Just as Mengzhu was about to continue looking forward, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of his sight - the uncle who had just disappeared took three steps and two steps at a time, dragging a human body and ran back. The grass was mixed with shrubs and flowers.

In the middle, a straight line appeared, but it was smoothed by the breeze the next moment: "Huh——"

"Uncle..."

"Don't say anything." Duan Qing interrupted the other party: "Be prepared first."

"Ah? What preparations are you making?"

"Be prepared to escape." Duan Qing did not look at her, but hid here and continued to stare ahead: "I can probably only do this by myself, but..."
To be continued...
