Looking at the city lord who was determined and confident, Cao Gang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "You can go down. During this period, just monitor the investigation team. Don't take any action. Don't let them think we are not cooperating."
Cao Gang nodded slightly: "I know what to do."
As soon as he left, Yuan Shu's female assistant came in: "Sir, I received a message from General Feimei."
Yuan Shu's eyes immediately lit up. He nodded and asked his female assistant to transfer Fei Mei's information.
After the female assistant left, he frowned and said, "There's news about Feimei, but Chengzhou hasn't contacted me yet. Is there something wrong?"
He walked to his desk, sat down, and a message came to his personal communicator.
This is a voice message.
"Godfather, how are you these days?"
Feimei's voice sounded on the communicator.
"We are about to return. Blue Dragon and his team have already explored the tomb and submitted a lot of information. I am worried that there will be omissions in the transmission process, so I decided to hand it over to you in person after I return."
"Before, according to your instructions, I asked Colonel Wei to enter the tomb as well, but unfortunately, he did not come back. According to Colonel Lan Long, after entering the tomb, they scattered their things, so they did not act with Colonel Wei."
"Therefore, no one knows what happened to Colonel Wei in the tomb. In addition, the silver knights sent into the tomb by the church were all annihilated, and no one came back. Bishop Gu Yun was very unhappy about this."
"I will give you more information when I come back."
"You should take good care of yourself."
This information ends here.
Yuan Shu was in a trance and didn't even notice the communicator falling on the table. There was only one sentence circling in his mind.
Colonel Wei didn't come back!
"How could that be? With Chengzhou's combat power, it should be no problem for them to protect themselves in the tomb, not to mention that they have teleportation items on them."
"Even the blue dragon has returned, how could he not come back?"
Yuan Shu covered his face, and no one knew what he was thinking about, his expression gradually became ferocious.
... ... ... ..
Even early in the morning, there were still few people on the streets of the downtown area. This is how it is here, with day and night reversed.
At night, the downtown area becomes lively and stays busy all night long.
However, even in the morning, some shops are open for business. After all, there are still workers who need to go to work, and some families need to prepare food for the whole day in the morning.
Having lived in the downtown area for 17 years, Tianyang certainly knows which shops are open and which are closed at this time.
He had taken off his killing armor and changed into normal clothes, a hooded coat and a pair of gray-blue, somewhat frayed pants.
Wearing them, Tianyang seemed to have returned to the time before he became an upper-class citizen. He looked like this very often in the lower city area, and even when walking on the street, he did not attract much attention.
Tianyang used an anonymous account card to buy some daily necessities, portable food, and tools needed for survival in the wild in preparation for his trip.
He divided these things up and bought them from several shops. After purchasing a certain amount of goods, he would find a remote and deserted place and throw them into the collection room of the drifting town.
Soon, clothes, food, and outdoor supplies were almost all purchased.
.
Only the medicine remains.
Although the people who are going on the long journey are not ordinary people, Tianyang still thinks it is better to be prepared.
But medicine is different from others, especially, what he needs is emergency medicine. Looking throughout the entire downtown area, there is only one place where he can buy it safely.
He came to East Street and knocked on the door of the Cripple's Grocery Store.
Soon, an impatient voice sounded from inside: "Who is it? It's only morning now. If you want to buy something, go somewhere else and don't bother me."
Tianyang stood at the window and called softly, "It's me."
It became quiet inside, then the window opened and the cripple stuck his head out.
He glanced at Tianyang, said nothing, and closed the window with a snap.
After a sound of door locks being unlocked, the door of the grocery store opened, and the lame man stood at the door and said unhappily, "Come in quickly."
Tianyang went into the grocery store and watched the cripple slam the door shut. Then he turned on the light and walked to the back, one foot deep and one foot shallow. "I haven't seen you for more than two months. I heard from Han Shu that you went to the Reverse Realm. When did you come back?"
"I'm going on a long trip in the next couple of days, and I need to buy some first aid medicines that I might need in the wild. Can you recommend some to me?"
Tianyang picked up a part he couldn't name, took a look at it, and asked the lame man to take it back.
He glanced at Tianyang unhappily and said, "You're going to go on a long journey right after you came back. Are you planning to escape?"
Tianyang chuckled a few times and did not respond.
The lame man ignored him and limped into the back of the grocery store. Then the sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets was heard from inside.
Tianyang was not in a hurry, so he waited outside, looking here and touching there. After a while, the lame man came out and threw a backpack to him.
"Everything you want is in here. It's enough for four or five people to use for more than half a year. Everything I have in my store is here, so it's a bit expensive. I'll just give you 10,000 contribution points."
"Also, the backpack is a gift."
Tianyang directly slapped the anonymous account card on the table next to him: "The money in here is enough to pay you back. If there is any left, you can use it as you see fit."
He picked up the backpack, opened the door and was about to leave.
The lame man called him: "Does Han Shu know about this?"
Tian Yang didn't look back, and said softly: "He will know."
Then he left.
The lame man looked at the anonymous account card and put it away without any courtesy: "You little brat, are you planning not to come back?"
"Hey, one less interesting guy..."
Back in the shed, Su Lie saw that Tianyang didn't even have a bag in his hand, and asked in confusion: "You didn't say you were going out to buy things, where are the things?"
"I left it at the transfer station." Tian Yang pulled over a chair and sat down, saying, "Dad, we'll leave tonight. I've made plans. We'll go directly to the black mine tonight. There's a car there and we can use it to get around."
"Then, I want to go to Gaoshanbao first. There's a guy who takes good care of me there. I want to go see him first."
Su Lie nodded without objection: "You can do whatever you want. However, the idea you said to deal with Yuan Shu was to film Xue Yan. Will it work?"
Tian Yang said confidently: "Don't worry, I have sent the video to the investigation team of the Golden Court.
They’ll know what to do.”
"It is an indisputable fact that Yuan Shu wants to get his hands on EsGod. With Xue Yan's statement video, the investigation team will definitely take action."
Su Lie nodded and said, "It's a good idea to let the Golden Council deal with Yuan Shu. This way we don't have to show up, but it makes me a little unhappy."
Tian Yang said calmly: "Yuan Shu has been planning for so many years, he will definitely not give in so easily. But if the Golden Court announces this matter, how many people in the Sky Fortress do you think will be willing to stand on the same side with him?"
Su Lie immediately said: "Cao Gang is definitely one of them, and there are also a few of his old subordinates, but there won't be many people."
"That's right."
Tian Yang followed his lead and said, "At that time, in order to avoid being implicated by him, Skyfort will definitely cut ties with him."
"By then, Yuan Shu will not only be deserted by his friends and relatives, but will also become a street rat. If you take action at that time, firstly, the fortress will not be destroyed, secondly, you will have a legitimate reason, and thirdly, you may even win the hearts of the people."
"Maybe, I can get the title of city lord, and I'll benefit from it."
Su Lie was stunned for a moment, then he looked Tian Yang up and down: "Good fellow, so that's what you think. Hey, if Yuan Shu is an old fox, then I think you are a young fox."
Tian Yang said awkwardly: "I think so, but it's hard to say what the specific situation will be. But I believe that it will be difficult for Yuan Shu to turn the tables."
"If I were the investigation team, I would keep a low profile and collect evidence while contacting the court to request support. When the evidence is solid and the strong are in place, I would take down Han Shu in one fell swoop and not give him a chance to resist."
"It's just that things in the world change constantly. I hope there won't be too many variables by then."
It soon got dark.
Tianyang snapped his fingers and opened the crack door in the shed, and several people came to the collection room of the drifting town.
Tianyang took out a backpack and stuffed it with a few pieces of clothing, a few days' worth of food, and a set of first aid medicines.
Anyway, if necessary, you can come back to the rafting town to replenish, so there is no need to carry all the things with you.
Throwing the backpack to Xing Luo, Tian Yang opened the door again and this time came directly to the black mine.
After the Fortress War, this black mine almost stopped operating, but there was still some work in the mine, so there were still a few magnetic vehicles parked in the open space.
Tianyang took a fancy to a high-powered off-road truck with a spacious interior, but when he walked over, he saw two guards smoking on the other side of the truck and they happened to look over here.
Tianyang showed a friendly smile on his face, and in a flash he was already in the middle of the guards. He grabbed them one in each hand and slammed them against the truck. The two guards foamed at the mouth and fainted.
Throwing the guard to the ground, Tian Yang opened the door, lowered the ladder, and said to Su Lie and the others, "Get in the car."
After a while, the truck headed towards the gate. The guard on the gate noticed something was wrong and shouted from the sentry tower: "Stop! If you don't stop, I'll open fire!"
Xue Yan, who was sitting in the truck, leaned out of the window and waved toward the gate sentry tower. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up from above and blew the guard down.
Tianyang shouted in the cab: "Hold on tight."
Suddenly the truck accelerated, and the huge metal barrier slammed into the gate, knocking the tightly closed gate open. The truck rushed out of the black mine, making a loud roar, and gradually went away.
