"And my arrangements in other places are about to work. Beichen has a back-up, so why don't I? Sooner or later they will leave."
"As soon as they leave, we will go back immediately. In this case, I believe...even Beichen would never guess that we would hide in the inn that they have searched many times."
"This is called...the blind spot of vision!"
Just as Shen Lian and Tianji were yawning in the corner outside the inn, a new round of searches had already begun inside the inn.
The guards boarded the inn one by one, then went to each room and knocked hard on the door.
People kept being woken up from their sleep.
Some of these people were full of complaints, and some were still ignorant. But when they opened the door and saw the fierce guards standing outside, they immediately shrank their necks and were too scared to speak anymore.
"come out!"
The guards outside the door drank directly at them.
These people walked out of the room in confusion and confusion.
As soon as they went out, the guards rushed in and searched their room!
Whether it was the cabinets, the underside of the couch, or even the floor, they were all lifted up to see if there was anything hidden.
“And the baggage they brought with them was searched inch by inch.
The carefulness of their search simply refreshed these people's understanding of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.
In this way, each room was searched in this way.
Soon, it was Shen Lian's turn.
Bang bang!
There was a loud knock on the door.
But after a while, no sound came from the room.
The guard who knocked on the door suddenly frowned.
He waved directly, called two people, and then pointed to the closed door in front of him.
"There doesn't seem to be anyone."
he said softly.
When the two people heard this, their expressions changed.
They immediately tightened their grip on their weapons: "Bash the door!"
The man nodded, and I grabbed the hilt of the knife and was about to rush forward.
Crunch——
But at this moment, a creaking sound was heard, and under the nervous gaze of the three guards, the closed door was opened.
A sleepy-eyed man walked out, rubbing his eyes.
"Guan Ye? What happened again?"
These three people, you look at me, I look at you.
Finally, the two people who were called looked at the person who knocked on the door in the first place.
The man coughed, a little embarrassed, then looked at the man opposite angrily, and asked: "I just knocked on the door, why was there no movement?"
The man said: "Hey, I'm relatively asleep."
"As traveling merchants, we travel around every day and often sleep on the streets. But we also need enough rest, otherwise we will have difficulty traveling the next day, so we have developed the habit of falling asleep on our backs and sleeping like dead pigs. I’m used to it, I really didn’t hear it just now.”
He looked at the officer and said with a smile: "Master, we meet again. Didn't we just finish the inspection last night? Why are you here again today?"
The guard looked at this man, and he looked at him carefully.
He really had an impression of this person.
A very talkative and eloquent businessman.
And this person looks okay, so he still has memory.
At this time, the appearance of the person in front of him was exactly the same as the appearance in his memory, there was no difference.
So he didn't care much.
He looked at the man opposite Shen Lian who looked exactly like Shen Lian and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Knowing too much is not good for you."
"Get out of my way, I want to search your room."
The man who looked the same as Shen Lian smiled and said: "It's easy to talk, I understand that the City Lord's Mansion is doing things, and I will never stand in the way."
“In our line of work, I don’t know anything else, but being harmonious and making money is definitely the most important thing.”
As he spoke, he stepped aside.
The guard entered his room directly.
The guard looked around the room and said, "It's quite clean."
"That's right, sir, although I often travel around, but I'm clean, that's always--"
"Shut up!"
The guard couldn't stand it anymore: "If I don't ask you anything, just shut up. How can you be so rude and talkative?"
This Shen Lian chuckled and said a little sheepishly: "I am used to discussing business with people, and I will talk too much if I am not careful. Don't be offended, sir."
The guard snorted: "Stop talking."
As he spoke, the guard conducted a very detailed search.
The cabinets, floors, and walls were all checked.
Then the guard walked to the window, opened it, looked outside, and found that it was right on the roadside.
The guard said: "Jump down from here and you can leave secretly."
This Shen Lian smiled again and said: "You are talking about passing away secretly, right? It is so high. If I jump down, I will probably pass away secretly. My family will definitely not know."
The guards were all amused by him: "Shut up, I'm just talking."
After being interrupted by this "Shen Lian", the thoughts that the guards of the City Lord's Mansion had just dispersed disappeared silently.
He glanced outside again, then withdrew his gaze and continued to search other places.
Seeing this, Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
In just an instant, there was sweat on his forehead.
When the guard wasn't paying attention, he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead to avoid being suspected by the guard.
The guards searched carefully and even knocked on every floor.
Seeing this, Shen Lian said with a smile: "Sir, you don't think I can dig a tunnel, do you? This is the territory of the inn, and I still live on the second floor, and I can only stay for two days. During these two days, Why can’t I dig a tunnel?”
"Of course, if I really dig, I think there is a high probability that I will fall directly to the first floor."
The guard was really helpless.
He said: "Can you shut up and stop being so poor? Why do you talk so much?"
This Shen Lian scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I have an occupational disease. I often sell products to others and I can't stop talking."
The guard didn't think much about it, but he felt that this was the right thing to do.
If Shen Lian didn't say anything, he would doubt the authenticity of this person's identity as a businessman.
The guard knocked on the floor and said, "I don't suspect that you forgot the tunnel, but I wonder if there is a mezzanine below and whether you are hiding something."
Shen Lian looked surprised: "What did I hide? Why didn't I know?"
Guard: "...I didn't say you were really hiding. This wasn't a search."
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not targeting you. This is what the higher-ups require. Every room must be searched like this, dig deep and dig deep!"
This Shen Lian's eyes flashed and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He said: "Then Sir, you can check it as you like. I am upright and not afraid of my shadow being distorted!"
Seeing Shen Lian not panicking at all, the guards were convinced.
He knocked briefly to make sure there was no mezzanine or anything like that, and then began to search Shen Lian's baggage.
And the result was naturally no surprise.
Shen Lian had long thought that someone would search his room, so he had hidden those important books and paintings elsewhere.
This guard is destined to find nothing.
After checking how long it took to burn a stick of incense, the guard wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, there's no problem."
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "But even so, you haven't completely ruled out suspicion, so if you don't want anything to happen, just stay in the room and don't go anywhere."
"Otherwise, if you are caught, no one can save you."
Shen Lian nodded quickly: "Yes, sir, don't worry, I promise to be obedient."
"Then Sir..."
Shen Lian rubbed his hands and said, "I wonder how long our situation will last?"
"As a businessman, I can't leave. I'm just sitting on my hands, and I have to deliver the goods. If I'm late for one day, I'll have to pay a lot of money."
The guard said: "Don't ask me, I don't know if you ask me."
"I haven't rested for several days, and I also want to know when it will end."
"Anyway...don't even think about it these days. It might have been two or three days, but now it seems that if we don't catch those thieves, it won't be five or six days."
Hearing this, Shen Lian's eyes flashed and he said angrily: "Who are those thieves? Why are they so hateful!"
The guard shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, stop complaining, just hope those thieves are caught soon. Remember, don't go out. Whoever goes out now will be a suspect!"
After saying that, the guard left.
Shen Lian sent the guard away with a smile on his face, and then closed the door.
And the moment he closed the door, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.
He frowned and quickly walked to the window.
He opened the window a crack and looked outside.
Then I saw someone watching under the window.
Moreover, there are people looking at the windows from time to time.
The man quickly closed the window.
His expression was a little solemn: "Master, where are you now?"
"Has the new fluclight been eliminated?"
"Are you safe?"
There was a look of worry on his face.
But now, he can only sit here and help confuse the guards.
Other than that, we can only hope that the young master will continue to strategize and create miracles.
The search continues.
However, despite the searches by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, no problem was found.
Not one of the residents in the inn is missing.
At the same time, they also searched all the rooms, and found nothing unusual.
The guards walked downstairs one after another and reported the situation to the leader below: "No problem."
"No issues were found."
"everything is normal!"
Hearing this, the leader frowned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with this inn. In this case, we will be on standby for the time being and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
These people are all guards of the city lord's palace.
Although they didn't know who the person they were chasing was, they knew very well that if the higher-ups mobilized so many troops, the person they were chasing would definitely not be simple.
Maybe Kung Fu is very powerful, or very cruel.
If they faced each other, there might be casualties.
Therefore, what the leader hopes most is the place he is responsible for, not the hiding place of those thieves.
This will ensure his safety.
And now, it appears that's exactly what happened.
So he was completely relieved.
As for whether not catching the thief would make the people above angry, that was none of his business.
The thief was not in the area he was responsible for, so it had nothing to do with him.
He walked out of the inn, yawned, raised his head and glanced at the sky.
The night was still dark at this time, and it was still a while before dawn.
I don’t know if I will have a chance to close my eyes tonight.
"Hopefully the thief can be found somewhere else and caught so I can have a good night's sleep."
He saw a shooting star and couldn't help but make a wish.
He didn't want to meet those tough thieves, but he hoped others would.
It must be said that people's joys and sorrows are not the same, but their instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages is exactly the same...
But he didn't know that in the corner not far away from him, the thief he hoped that others would meet was looking at him expressionlessly.
Tianji rubbed his eyes and said, "Why did this guy still make a wish to the sky?"
Shen Lian smiled and said: "You still don't allow others a chance to be romantic?"
Tianji rolled his eyes.
"In more than an hour, it will be daybreak. Once it gets daybreak, it will be very obvious that we are wearing black."
She looked at Shen Lian and asked, "What should we do next?"
"Don't worry."
Shen Lian looked confident that he was in control of everything, and said calmly: "We need to make sure that they have searched the inn first, so that they can rest assured and rule out the inn completely."
"So, wait."
"Don't be afraid of waiting for good things."
Tianji pursed her lips: "Aren't you afraid of revealing your secrets?"
She has now determined that Shen Lian asked Si She to leave suddenly before, just to let Si She return.
It seemed that Shen Lian had already anticipated that once Di and the others took action against Xin Yaoguang, the inn might be quickly listed as a key search area by Beichen.
So Shen Lian asked Si She to return with a few secret guards, so that if something like this happened, Bi Si She's disguise ability could bring a few secret guards to disguise Shen Lian and Tianji, thereby deceiving those who searched. people.
I have to say that Tianji really admires Shen Lian's foresight.
At least at that time, Tianji had no idea what was happening at this moment.
But Shen Lian had already anticipated everything and made preparations in advance. Tianji had to accept this.
But she was still a little worried. After all, Shen Lian's personality was not so easy to disguise.
Shen Lian smiled and said: "You have been in contact with Sishe for a long time, right? You still don't know the title of his disguise expert? He just deceived a few people who only had a one-time relationship. As long as you can grasp it, If my mouth is the most broken, there will be absolutely no problem."
Tianji thought about it, and that was true.
They don't get along day and night.
She thought back when she was at the Beidou Club, Tian Quan, whom she had known so many times, was replaced by Mi She, and she didn't even notice.
These stupid guards will never find out.
"about there!"
At this moment, Shen Lian suddenly spoke.
"What?"
Tianji was startled and still didn't understand what Shen Lian meant.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, suddenly far and near. (End of chapter)
