Qingyan raised her eyebrows. She thought she was being targeted. After all, a single woman was walking and riding a horse. She knew she was not short of money.
Unexpectedly, it was the person next door. She listened first and found that the person next door was breathing very lightly. He seemed to be awake and quite alert.
Only then did I probe with my spiritual consciousness. Because there was no light on, even if there was moonlight shining through the window paper, the light in the room was very dark.
She could only see a tall and thin shadow standing by the door, holding a long object in his hand, which should be a stick or something.
Qingyan looked at the corridor outside the door again, and found that one of the two men was standing aside to watch, and the other was using a short knife to pull the door latch inside.
He moved as gently as possible and made almost no sound, unaware that the people inside had been alarmed.
Both of them had knives in their hands. They were obviously not here to steal anything, but rather to target the people inside.
I don't know what the identity of the person inside is, and he can still attract people to hunt him down. If he is not seeking revenge, then his identity is unusual.
Because he was too careful, it took him about ten minutes to open the door latch. The people inside were probably tired of waiting. Qingyan saw him changing positions several times.
When the man outside gently pushed open the door and poked his head in, the man inside directly knocked down with the weapon in his hand!
Unfortunately, that person was also alert. When he heard the wind, he immediately retracted and hid.
If the attack missed, the person inside the door did not continue to attack. When the other party exited, he closed the door directly and quickly bolted the door again.
The two people outside obviously didn't want others to discover them. Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the people in the room next to them were awakened by the sound of the door closing, so they stopped staying and left quickly.
Qingyan looked at the two people with her consciousness, and saw that they did not go downstairs, but crossed the stairs and entered a room two rooms away to her left.
I stayed in the inn yesterday, so I should have moved in directly, so I was ready for a sneak attack in the middle of the night.
It seemed that they didn't want to kill that person, otherwise the two of them could just do it directly. Even if they alerted other people, they might not come forward to help.
This kind of people don't know the grudges between the two sides, and when they are fighting life and death, there are really not many people who can draw their swords to help when they see injustice.
As for whether the two men attacked at night to arrest people or what they wanted to do, she didn't know.
She stared at the two of them with her consciousness, trying to see if she could find anything.
As a result, the two of them entered the house without any communication. They just changed out of their dark clothes and the cloth covering their faces in the dark, and went to bed without even lighting a light...
This made her, who wanted to hear the next step of the conspiracy, feel uncomfortable.
I couldn't hear anything there, so I turned my consciousness to the room on the right and found that it was bright inside.
I don't know when the oil lamp has been lit, but after this, I probably won't be able to sleep. Instead of giving people a chance in darkness, it is better to make the room brighter, so that the other party will not dare to act rashly.
The man was sitting at the table with his clothes on, and Qingyan could see his face clearly.
This is a teenage boy, who should be about the same age as her. If it weren't for the flat chest and throat, and his hair disheveled, he would look a bit feminine.
But the more she looked at Qingyan, the more familiar she felt, and she felt that she had seen this person somewhere.
But she picked up the children she had seen before, and they were not the right age at all.
wrong! She shouldn't look for it from the children, but from the young people she has met before, like Li Hao's age. His children are already teenagers.
It's hard to tell who's son this is.
Is it from Xue Huan'er's brother's family? Not like that.
Unlike Lanhua Daya and Hei Dan, they don't have such delicate features.
This young man's facial features are very delicate. Although his clothes are ordinary, his temperament is outstanding. At first glance, he does not look like he comes from an ordinary family.
As for the wealthy family, she seems to only know the Xue family...
wrong! There was another person, He Linling, whom she had saved.
She recalled the other person's appearance, and she was very similar to this boy. It seemed that he was her descendant.
If this was the case, Qingyan wouldn't find it strange. After all, she was being hunted when she rescued He Linling.
I just don't know if this is her son or her nephew. After all, these relatives may look alike.
Anyway, no matter what, since it was possible that he was the descendant of an acquaintance, Qingyan was prepared to protect him. After all, he had known each other before.
She was idle anyway, and Chou Chou hadn't come back yet, so it would be nice to have some fun on her own.
Thinking of Chou Chou, she was a little worried. She didn't know what was going on over there. She promised to come back in two days, but two days and two nights had passed. She still hadn't come back, and no message was sent to her. She didn't know what happened. Something happened.
The chance of encountering danger should be low. After all, Chou Chou is an ancient beast. Even if he cannot defeat it, he can still enter the space. The most likely thing is that he has discovered something new and Chou Chou followed him.
After thinking about it, Qingyan felt a little sleepy. She took out the spirit stone and looked at her watch. It was just past three o'clock and she could still sleep for a while.
As for the people on the left and right, she would be able to wake up in time if there was any movement, not to mention there was Yuan Bao there.
However, he still told me: "Yuanbao, let's sleep for a while. If you hear any noise outside, wake me up."
Yuan Bao nodded, "Okay, you go to sleep. I slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night. I will pay attention."
After getting Yuan Bao's consent, Qingyan lay down again and fell asleep soon.
But the boy next door was not as comfortable as she was. He sat for half the night, but later returned to the bed and sat there, not even daring to take a nap.
When Qingyan woke up the next morning, the first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to use her consciousness to look around.
The two people on the left have already gotten up, washed and dressed neatly, the door is open, and they are standing at the door with their ears open, listening to what is going on outside.
The boy on the right had two dark circles and big, dull eyes, sitting on the bed not knowing what he was thinking.
Qingyan soon discovered that he was not thinking about anything, but fell asleep with his eyes open because he was extremely sleepy!
This was the first time Qingyan saw someone sleeping with her eyes open. If it weren't for her even breathing, she would have thought she was sleeping with her eyes open.
After she had cleaned up and washed up, everyone in the other rooms had gone out. The boy next door was awakened and quickly washed up and got ready to go out.
Qingyan deliberately waited for him in the room and opened the door almost at the same time as him.
The boy was startled when he saw the door next door open, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He should have seen a girl, not the person who attacked him last night.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the room two rooms away also opened, and two people came out.
The two of them were dressed in satin clothes, with smiles on their faces. They looked like businessmen, looking peaceful and eager to make money.
If Qingyan hadn't known that they used knives to pry open the door last night, she would have thought that these were two ordinary businessmen.
She glanced at the two of them and then withdrew her gaze. She glanced at the young man next to her and relaxed when she found that the other man frowned. It seemed that although he was suspicious, he did not recognize it.
Qingyan and the two of them were closer to the stairs and walked down first.
Qingyan deliberately walked one step behind so that if the two men made any moves, she could intercept them immediately.
It's a pity that the two of them didn't do anything. It seems that they can only act in secret and don't dare to do it openly.
Suddenly, Qingyan glanced at the corridor above with emotion. There was no one there, but she intuitively felt that a line of sight had just glanced at her. Someone should be hiding somewhere.
As she walked down the stairs, she stretched out her consciousness and searched her surroundings, not even missing the roof beams.
Yo ho! She really found it!
There was a short man hiding on the beam on the roof!
The man was lying there, looking down.
Qingyan looked carefully and saw that the other person had an unforgettable face. He was in his twenties and was wearing a dark gray shorts.
The figure was thin and small, lying on the wide beam. If Qingyan hadn't had divine awareness, she wouldn't have been able to notice it.
Doesn't this person have Qing Gong? Otherwise, how did he get up the beam that was more than one foot high? It's impossible to set up a ladder.
From some people, Qingyan also learned that Qing Gong exists in this world. Although it does not mean flying around like on TV, coming and going without a trace, it is still possible to fly up a house and into a tree.
Just like in later generations, there are still people who can easily reach heights with just one jump.
I just don’t know what the man on the beam does. Is he a thief?
She wasn't afraid. Anyway, except for the big bear and the ingot, everything was in the storage bag. It would be difficult to steal her things.
When I went downstairs, I saw that several tables downstairs were already full of people, either having breakfast or waiting for breakfast to be served.
Qingyan naturally walked to the table where the young man was sitting and sat directly opposite him, because there were already people sitting on the other two sides.
There is no need to say hello or ask, since everyone is sitting at the same table anyway.
The two people behind came down, took a look here, and saw that there was no room for the table next to them, so they had to walk to the other side.
Qingyan and the waiter ordered spicy soup and steamed buns. It is said that this is a specialty of this place and has been around since the Tang Dynasty. However, it was not so popular at that time and it has been improved many times before it has the current taste.
It is said that the Hu spicy soup in Beijing is more authentic, and the soup dumplings are also famous far and near.
The steamed buns she ate today were not soup dumplings, but ordinary steamed buns stuffed with mutton and radish. They were so big that she could eat just one.
She asked for two, and the other was for Yuan Bao in her arms.
She was afraid of affecting others and did not put the Yuanbao down. After all, it was a shared table. Although she knew that the Yuanbao would not move around, others did not know, so it was better to hold it.
He took out a cloth towel from his pocket and wrapped it around Yuanbao's neck, then broke open the bun and ate half of it with each other.
I didn’t feed Hu spicy soup, mainly because I couldn’t feed it directly with a spoon and bowl, and I couldn’t just take the bowl out of my pocket. That would be too weird.
Yuanbao sat in her arms, holding the bun with his two paws and gnawing on it, with Qingyan's hand holding it underneath.
The other three people on the table all looked over with strange expressions on their faces, and even forgot to eat.
Qingyan ignored them, and she and Yuanbao finished eating the steamed buns with a natural expression, drank the hot spicy soup at the right temperature, and went to the shopkeeper to pay the bill.
She also saw that the young man had carried all his burdens and probably would not stay in the inn anymore and was preparing to leave.
So she checked out directly and settled the bill. She first went to find a place outside the town to hitch the carriage, otherwise she wouldn't be able to give him a ride, and they couldn't ride together.
As for whether the other party would have a mount, she looked at the backyard of the inn. Apart from her big bear, there were no other horses. There were two ox carts with goods on them. They probably couldn't be his.
However, there is a problem. The other party may not be traveling with her. After all, those passing through this town are not necessarily going to the capital. They may also be coming from the capital.
This is considered a 1/2 chance. It depends on the luck of her and the other party. If it's a different path, there's nothing we can do.
She can take care of the two people she has discovered. If there is any danger later, she will not be able to control it.
As for why these two people wanted to sneak attack on him, she didn't care. Anyway, these two people looked at each other with smiles on their faces, but they had horizontal lines between their eyebrows. They must be ruthless people behind their backs.
The calluses on their hands clearly showed that they often wielded swords, and the way they walked and sat didn't look like they were from the regular army.
If you are not a thug raised by others, you are the kind of wanderer who travels around the world.
Although she is not very good at reading faces, there is a monster called Yuanbao, which is also very sensitive to people's aura.
It said that those two men had a lot of blood evil in them and were not good people.
Since you are not a good person, you won't feel any guilt when you clean it up. You can only think that the other party is unlucky.
After Qingyan finished paying the bill, she happened to pass by the two people and glanced at them casually.
The two men didn't notice anything. After all, it was normal for people to scan as they passed by. She didn't just look at them. Everyone on the passing table looked at them, which was normal.
Seeing that they were not staring at the young man, I don't know whether it was because of the superb acting skills of the other party, or because they were not ready to take action today after their failure yesterday.
Of course, since the other party was attacking in the middle of the night, they probably wouldn't do it in public. This gave her time to go out and prepare.
He followed the man directly to the backyard, took out his horse, got on the horse and went to the outside of the town.
It wasn't that she didn't want to hitch the car in the town, but she had used her spiritual sense to explore it and found that there really weren't any blind spots in the town where she could hitch the car.
There is a doorway to a house in every alley, and there are people at home, and there are many pedestrians on the road. This is the time when everyone gets up to work.
Guandu Town is already a famous place, and it is on the only way to the capital. Even those who do not live in the town, there are many people who come in to take a look, so the flow of people is not much less than that of Zhongmu County, but The area is smaller and there are no city walls or gates.
Guandu Town has three streets with shops alone. It is divided into three streets: East, West and South. The only thing missing is a city wall. There are inns on the three streets, and they are all full of people. There are almost no vacancies.
