August 6th.
Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai entered Yanzhou City.
On the streets of Yanzhou City, people come and go more frequently than in Xiangxi Prefecture.
The closer we get to the front line, the more people there are.
"How far away are they?"
The two were walking on the street, and Chang Sheng asked Yan Sihaidao.
Yan Sihai looked at the guide bug in front of him, making a buzzing sound and frowning.
"They appear to be to the east."
The guide bug flew towards the east, and the two of them followed it.
The two walked along, but found something wrong around them.
The people on the street, in twos and threes, began to walk in the same direction as them.
Occasionally when I meet an acquaintance, I say a few words in a hurry.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Didn't you hear that someone died at Yanyun Inn? Someone started making trouble in the inn."
"Oh, then I have to go and see the excitement."
"Walk!"
Along the way, through sporadic conversations, Chang Sheng and the two roughly understood what happened.
The two looked at each other, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Chang Sheng felt a little panicked and couldn't help but walk faster.
The guide led the two people to keep walking eastward, and what made Chang Sheng more and more uneasy was that those Jianghu people were walking with them all the way.
After turning a corner, the lead bug swooped forward and suddenly got into the crowd.
On the street in front of him, people from all walks of life formed a circle and blocked the street.
Next to the street is the tallest building on this street, Yanyun Inn.
"Chun Nanjun, how can you hide behind a woman? You have the ability to fight me in a one-to-one life-or-death duel!"
Xu Jingfeng's loud voice can be heard clearly even by the crowd several layers apart.
Chang Sheng was startled, that ominous premonition might come true, and something would happen to Langhuan Jianju.
But after Xu Jingfeng spoke, there was no movement for a long time, and the people watching seemed a little unhappy.
"Whether we want to fight or not, everyone is waiting."
"Jingfeng, stop!"
Chang Sheng heard a loud shout.
"Master!"
Intermittent sounds came from the crowd, but Chang Sheng was too far away to hear clearly.
But not long after, the crowd dispersed again.
After the crowd dispersed completely, there were only a few people left on the street, including Xu Jingfeng, Chu Nanjun and the two girls he brought with him.
In front of Xu Jingfeng, a middle-aged man scolded Xu Jingfeng with a stern face.
Behind the middle-aged man were several young disciples, all dressed similarly to Xu Jingfeng. They should all be from Langhuan Sword Residence.
Chang Sheng looked around, but didn't see Shui Yun and Song Yu.
The middle-aged man scolded him a few times, glanced at Chu Nanjun who was not far away, hesitated to speak, and then pulled Xu Jingfeng back to the inn.
On the other hand, Chu Nanjun, although his face was still so pale, his spirit was much better than yesterday.
When I walk, my steps are steadier.
"It's strange. This guy has changed so much in one day."
Yan Sihai clicked his tongue in surprise.
"Let's go take a look."
The two of them approached the inn slowly, but after Chu Nanjun entered the inn, the waiter closed the door of the inn and put up a sign saying "Closed to thank guests".
"What's going on? It's broad daylight. Why is the inn closed?"
Yan Sihai was confused when Chang Sheng pulled him aside.
The inn is next to a fork in the road and next to a small alley.
The two of them hid in the alley, leaning against the side of the inn. Chang Sheng poked two holes in the side window of the inn and peeked inside.
But the atmosphere in the lobby was very strange.
A few people from the world were scattered around the tables in the lobby.
In the middle, two parties were confronting each other. One party should be the Langhuan Jianju people who were dressed the same as Xu Jingfeng. The leader was the middle-aged man who had just reprimanded Xu Jingfeng.
On the other side, there were three people headed by Chu Nanjun.
Through the obstruction of tables and chairs, he could vaguely see a person lying in the open space between the two sides.
Chang Sheng watched intently for a while, only to see that the person was dressed similarly to Xu Jingfeng, but there were too many obstacles in the way, so he couldn't see the person's face, and couldn't tell whether he was a boy or a girl.
But I heard Xu Jingfeng pointing at Chu Nanjun and saying
"Master, this guy must have killed Junior Brother Song Yu and kidnapped Junior Sister!"
Chang Sheng was shocked, Song Yu was actually dead? Shui Yun is missing?
But in one day, so many things happened.
The middle-aged man stopped the excited Xu Jingfeng and glanced around at the few Jianghu people around him.
"Jingfeng, the matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet, don't slander nephew Chu Nanxian at will."
He looked at Chu Nanjun again. For some reason, Chang Sheng felt that the middle-aged man looked at Chu Nanjun with sadness in his eyes.
The waiter and shopkeeper were trembling on the sidelines, not daring to express their anger.
"Shopkeeper, one of my disciples died tragically here today. I told you that I won't let you close the shop for a few days."
Xu Jingfeng remains unyielding
"Junior Brother Song died in the Nine Qingfeng Styles of our sect. Apart from this guy, who else in the Jianghu people present knows this swordsmanship? We can't be the ones who killed Junior Brother Song!"
"Snapped!"
The middle-aged man slapped Xu Jingfeng angrily.
"Shut up!"
Xu Jingfeng left angrily.
"Have you noticed that the master doesn't seem to be sad at all when his apprentice dies and disappears?"
Yan Sihai looked at the show with a joking expression.
"You missed it. Not only Master, but also Chu Nanjun, who knew Sister Shuiyun was missing, was not in a hurry at all. He was very affectionate to her yesterday."
Chang Sheng's eyes were fixed on Chu Nanjun.
"What's going on? What do you think?"
Yan Sihai glanced at Chang Sheng.
Chang Shengdao
"We have to find a way to enter the inn."
"It's easy."
Yan Sihai patted his chest and pulled Chang Sheng to the back door of the inn.
Then he sat down against the wall.
"What are you doing?"
Chang Sheng was puzzled.
Yan Sihai pulled her to sit down together.
"Just wait."
Half an hour later, it was approaching noon.
"Gulu"
There was the sound of wheels rolling around the corner of the alley.
Chang Sheng was attracted by the sound of wheels and turned his head.
Yan Sihai, who was beside him, rushed out with a whoosh. Just as Chang Sheng was about to catch up, Yan Sihai's figure had already rushed around the corner.
"Gulu"
An old man pushing a cart of vegetables came out of the corner and bumped into Yan Sihai, who was stunned for a moment.
A handful of white powder hit his face, and then he felt dizzy and fell straight to the ground.
Yan Sihai looked back at Chang Sheng, who was still in a daze.
"Come and help."
"oh."
After a while.
"Dong dong dong!"
Lao Yan, dressed as a vegetable farmer, knocked on the back door of the inn.
"Squeak."
A bearded man wearing an apron opened the door and looked at Lao Yan in surprise.
"Where's Lao Zhang? Why is there a new person today?"
"Ahem, Lao Zhang is sick, I'll deliver food for him."
The bearded man nodded without any doubt and gave way.
"come in."
Pushing the vegetable cart into the backyard, Yan Sihai stunned the bearded man again.
Chang Sheng emerged from the pile of vegetables and patted the vegetable leaves on his head and body.
"Why don't you just stun him and let me get into trouble?"
Yan Sihai patted her and comforted her.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, little ancestor. I was afraid that there were other people in the backyard, so I might have alerted the enemy."
Further into the backyard is the kitchen, where three or four cooks are working.
"call."
A burst of green smoke spread along a thin bamboo tube into the back kitchen.
The sound of cooking in the kitchen gradually stopped, and then there was the sound of falling to the ground.
The two of them walked into the kitchen with their faces covered.
Chang Sheng frowned and waved the green smoke in front of his eyes.
"You administered the medicine too harshly."
"If you don't focus on it, if anyone is awake, you'll be in trouble."
"What's next?"
"It depends on where you want to start checking first."
"I want to see Song Yu's body first."
"Is it okay? It's so slow. Are those uncles waiting?"
At this moment, the shopkeeper pushed open the door and came in, urging impatiently.
But I only saw two raw faces, one old and one young. The three of them looked at me and I looked at you.
Just as the shopkeeper was about to scream, Yan Sihai grabbed his throat.
"Hey hey hey."
Yan Sihai's malicious smile looked like an old man who had done all kinds of bad things to the shopkeeper.
"Gulu."
While the shopkeeper was in shock, Yan Sihai stuffed a pill into his mouth at an extremely fast speed.
"Hehe, this is my homemade seven-day rotten belly pill. Within seven days, if you don't have my antidote, your internal organs will rot and you will die."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his legs went weak, his eyes rolled up, and he fainted.
Yan Sihai looked at him blankly
"This works better than my drugs."
"Wow!"
Chang Sheng poured a ladle of cold water on the shopkeeper's face.
The shopkeeper screamed in fear, but Yan Sihai covered his mouth.
"Shut up!"
"Now I slowly let go. Don't scream. If you do, there will be no antidote."
The shopkeeper gradually calmed down and his breathing became steady, but his body was still shaking slightly.
"what is your name."
"My hero, I am the shopkeeper here. Just call me shopkeeper Li."
Yan Sihai grabbed shopkeeper Li's arm, lifted him up, and patted him.
"Shopkeeper Li, if you want the antidote, you have to be obedient."
Yan Sihai's words were slightly threatening, and shopkeeper Li kept nodding.
"You said, the little one knows everything he knows."
Yan Sihai glanced at Chang Sheng and indicated that she could ask questions.
Chang Sheng came up to Shopkeeper Li and looked at it carefully with big eyes.
"Shopkeeper Li, is the body in the lobby still there?"
Shopkeeper Li was sweating on his forehead. This little girl looked so pretty, why did she see a corpse when she opened her mouth?
But his life is in the hands of others, so how can he dare to neglect it.
"It's been there since I woke up in the morning, and it hasn't been moved yet."
"Then do you know when the person died?"
Shopkeeper Li shook his head and his voice gradually became calmer.
"Anyway, when a guest came downstairs in the morning, he saw the man lying on the ground, but I don't know when he died."
"Which guest is it?"
Shopkeeper Li recalled
"The person in room No. 3, Tianzi, is an old man wearing very shabby clothes, but he is very rich."
Chang Sheng thought for a while
"Is there any room available in Tianzihao?"
"Yes! There are still several vacant rooms."
"Okay, do two things for me. We want two rooms, but we have to move in quietly and not be discovered by others."
"Secondly, I want to take a look at the body. It cannot be discovered either."
Shopkeeper Li nodded and said
"Okay, I'll do it."
Immediately, his expression became a little embarrassed.
"But you see, all my cooks are gone. If there is no food to eat, the guests will make a fuss, and someone will inevitably become suspicious."
Chang Shengdao
"Leave this place to us. After a stick of incense, you come and get the food."
Yan Sihai sent shopkeeper Li out of the kitchen. When he came back, he saw Chang Sheng staring at him, and he immediately had an ominous premonition.
"I don't know how to cook."
Chang Sheng stood by the stove, looked at Yan Sihai aggrievedly, and gestured at his height.
"I can't even reach the stove..."
Yan Sihai wailed, picked up the shovel, shoveled angrily a dozen times, and put it on the plate without caring whether it was cooked or not.
"Xiao Shengzi, serve!"
"Okay, Chef Yan!"
Half an hour later, shopkeeper Li came back carrying a pile of empty plates.
Embarrassed, they looked at the two people who were exhausted.
"Boy, please wash these dishes too."
"Lao Yan, I can't do it anymore."
