When Shilang Meng heard Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan mention the Ye You League, he looked quite surprised. He blurted out: "Have you also heard of the Ye You League? Do you know what kind of organization it is?"
Su Qiqi scratched her head and turned her eyes to Qin Chuan. In fact, she didn't know much about the Ye You League. She had only seen a brief introduction in her father's letter to Uncle Lin Quan, so it was difficult to provide useful information to Shilang Meng. Judging from Qin Chuan's experience, he should know more about the situation of the Ye You Alliance.
Sure enough, Qin Chuan understood her intention and told Meng Shilang everything he knew about the Ye You Alliance.
"I heard from my elders before that the Yeyou League is a dark organization composed of a group of desperadoes with extremely high martial arts skills. They often operated in the Qilian Mountain area in the early years. Unlike the ordinary demon sects or green forest gangsters in the world, they only have martial arts interests. A decent master or a specific target will never leave anyone alive! Thanks to Grandma Cui's rescue during my escort trip..."
After hearing this, Minister Meng fell into deep thought. Mrs. Meng on the side frowned even more tightly. She seemed to have felt the seriousness of the situation, and she looked at her husband helplessly. Meng Shilang also felt a little more uneasy. He was not attached to his official position, but he also did not want to implicate his innocent family members. Thinking about the dangers he might face in the future, his face gradually became serious, as if stained with frost.
"Right now, we need to find Gu Zhongkai and Lin Quan as soon as possible..." Meng Shilang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed heavily.
"Uncle Meng, what are your plans? If you need to use the younger ones, please give orders at any time..." Su Qiqi saw that Meng Shilang had an idea and decided to help him.
Qin Chuan and Zheng Miao also stepped forward and saluted: "Master Meng, please give me your orders. We will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Su Qiqi peeked at Zheng Miao's impressive skills and couldn't help but make a face at her.
Zheng Miao made a face and retreated to Su Qiqi with a smile. The two of them whispered a few words quietly. Stopped by Qin Chuan's eyes, the three of them seriously discussed the plan to go to Qilian Mountain with Meng Shilang again.
According to Meng Shilang's deployment, Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, and Zheng Miao led a team of government soldiers to Qilian Mountain to search for Gu Zhongkai's whereabouts. Meng Shilang and his sons Meng Liang and Meng You went to Luohua Villa in the western suburbs to look for Lin Quan.
After discussing the specific matters, Meng Shilang arranged for Su Qiqi and others to stay in the guest room in the backyard. Mrs. Meng asked the female servants and women to prepare hot water and snacks for the guests to bathe and satisfy their hunger.
A night of silence. At noon the next day, Su Qiqi and the others said goodbye to Shilang Meng and his wife, and set off with hundreds of soldiers.
Hundreds of miles from the capital to Qilian Mountain, the group traveled at high speed, day and night, and finally arrived at a small town at the foot of Qilian Mountain a few days earlier than expected. This town is called Juxing Town and is located in a barren frontier. Except for the occasional business travelers passing by, most of the permanent residents in the town are refugees and refugees. Scenes of poverty and dilapidation can be seen everywhere. The only thing that can support the appearance of a town is the Juxing Inn located at the east end of the town. It has a quaint and majestic appearance and is located among the dotted low thatched houses, giving it a sense of superiority that stands out from the crowd.
Therefore, as soon as Su Qiqi and others arrived here, they discovered this unique place. According to the information provided by the spies sent out by Master Meng, this Juxing Inn is most likely the secret contact point within the Ye You Alliance. The purpose of their trip was to find out the inside story of this inn and find the missing Gu Zhongkai.
"This inn is quite impressive!" Zheng Miao looked at the inn in front of her and was deeply shocked by its spirit and momentum. Su Qiqi also secretly marveled in her heart. Such an elegant building is not easy to see even in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone this desolate place filled with yellow sand. It seems that some things should not be too subjective. If this is really the secret contact point of the Yeyou Alliance, then the leader of the Yeyou Alliance is probably not an easy one to deal with!
Thinking of this, Su Qiqi took a deep breath, then looked at Qin Chuan who was walking slowly behind, and asked in a low voice: "Did you discover anything?"
Qin Chuan smiled faintly and said: "Not yet, I just feel like something is wrong with this building..." When Su Qiqi heard this, she turned around and looked at the Juxing Inn in front of her in confusion. She looked at it several times, blankly. I didn't see anything strange.
Zheng Miao also tried hard to find out what her brother said was wrong, but she stared for a long time and found nothing. He could only follow Su Qiqi angrily, trying to avoid the danger of being left alone.
As they walked, Zheng Miao asked curiously: "Why can't I see anyone in this inn?" Su Qiqi had already walked to the door, and when she looked inside, there really wasn't a single guest! The store was empty except for the waiter who was napping at the counter, his head swaying like a chicken pecking at rice!
Qin Chuan stepped forward and knocked on the counter with his hand, and said loudly: "Waiter, do you have a room?"
The waiter who was taking a nap opened his eyes, stood up quickly, put the white towel on his shoulder, yawned, and asked lazily: "Sir, how many rooms do you want?"
Qin Chuan stretched out his hand to make a two sign and said, "Two upper rooms."
The waiter nodded hurriedly and bowed and said: "Yes, yes, yes, sir, please come this way." As he said this, the waiter led the three of them to several rooms on the east side of the second floor.
The three of them looked at the room and settled on two rooms next to each other at the end of the corridor. After the waiter left, the three of them entered one of the upper rooms, closed the door, and carefully examined the layout of the room and some important furniture. Then he walked towards the only large window in the room and checked the situation outside the window.
At present, it seems that the layout of this inn is not complicated. The entire inn has only a two-story building, which is distributed in a U shape. The first floor is the lobby and the backyard. The lobby is for guests to stay and only provides some simple tea and food. In the backyard, except for the shopkeeper and others There is also a warehouse for temporary storage of goods by passing business travelers. There are more than a dozen guest rooms on the second floor, connected by the practice room in the middle of the corridor, extending to the east and west.
"Su'er, what do you think the layout of this inn looks like?"
Su Qiqi was looking at the woods in the backyard of the inn in a daze when she was suddenly startled by Qin Chuan climbing up from the window. She almost subconsciously threw the silver needle hidden in her sleeve.
Zheng Miao also patted her chest and said angrily: "Brother, why don't you come up from the stairs? You almost scared me to death!"
Qin Chuan chuckled: "I was in a hurry to chase someone, and when I got down from here...do you know what I found?"
"What?" Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao asked in unison.
Looking in the direction of Qin Chuan's finger, both Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao's eyes widened.
