In the end, after the old man Qingmi swept all the settlements of the Juli clan, he only found some kitchen supplies that could be used, plus food consumables, and not even a single NPC of the Juli clan.

"These bastards don't know where they went! How could such a big guy leave the settlement and no one saw it?" The old man threw the looted things in front of Ji Xiaoyan and them, and said to Ji Xiaoyan and them like a whiner: "You say, how could so many people from the Juli clan suddenly disappear? Looking at the situation in this house now, it doesn't look like they left! Guess where they disappeared?" Little Yan girl, do you think it's possible, they ran into the secret passage?"

"Secret Passage?" Ji Xiaoyan was using blue foamed coffee at the moment They were helping to cook things on a simple stove made of stones, and when they heard the words of the old man Qingmi, they were suddenly stunned, and then suddenly thought of the words that the soldier from the family who had never known her when she entered the game. The seemingly unknown game character is still locked up in the secret passage

"That's right! In addition to being able to live here, the people of their Juli clan in Qingcheng can't hide their bodies anywhere? If they hadn't gone to the secret passage, how could they not be here! The city lord's mansion was cleared by ghosts, and they couldn't be there!" The old man Qingmi touched his chin and said with an analytical expression, and then looked at Ji Xiaoyan's busy work with some dissatisfaction, and said to her: "You girl is also stupid, there is a kitchen in the house over there, why don't you use it? ”

"The kitchen tools are too big, I can't use them!" Ji Xiaoyan didn't even look at the old man Qingmi, and said directly to him, and then continued the topic just now and said, "Uncle Shi." According to you, why did the Juli go to the secret passage? Shall we go down and have a look?"

"If you don't have Yumo, can you come back?" the old man pouted and said, "Let's wait until you take Qingcheng in your hands and have a secret passage map! Hey, now we can only take one step at a time, and there is no Juli clan to help you defend the city, you can only see if you can find adventurers to help you defend the city! Girl, don't you have a lot of adventurer friends? I remember that there is one called what is called Falling Leaves? I remember that they brought a lot of people to help you attack the city this time, why don't you just ask, how about letting them help you defend the city in the future?"

"Well, I'll go back and ask!" Ji Xiaoyan nodded. Now the leaves are flying, and they haven't received the news that she is online, and they can't be contacted yet. This matter can only be discussed later!

"Well, I think that kid is still good!" said the old man with a satisfied nod, "It's just that you have to explain it to them first." At that time, there will be a lot of casualties in defending the city, so let them be a little prepared! However, there are still a lot of good things in the treasure house of Qingcheng, and when the time comes, you can get some out as a reward to motivate them!"

"Uncle Shi. It's too early to say this, right?" Ji Xiaoyan heard this, glanced at the old man Qingmi, and said a little helplessly: "We don't know the things in the treasure house yet, how many of them can be used!" To put it bluntly, the things in it are basically collected by the Qingwan City Lord, and I think most of them should be used by NPCs

"Just think about being there first!" the old man seemed to react, and then pouted. Scratching his head, he said a word to Ji Xiaoyan, and then asked, "How long will it take for you to get this food ready?" Seeing that it will be dark in a few days, can dinner be served on time?"

"Hmm! soon!" Ji Xiaoyan nodded.

"Who, go. If we can't even find a lamp when it's dark, we'll have to eat in the dark," the old man said directly to the blue bubble coffee. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, he directly dragged him from the ground, dragged him to the surrounding stone room, and entered one at random.

When Ji Xiaoyan had almost prepared the food, the old man Qingmi and the blue bubble coffee also brought back a lamp that was taller than her.

"Uncle Shi, why did you come back with such a big lamp, just find a small one!" Ji Xiaoyan looked at the old man Qingmi in surprise and held his breath, and after carrying the stone lamp and putting it on the ground, he asked, "Can this lamp be lit?"

"Why can't it? There's lamp oil in it!" The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then exhaled and said, "This is already the smallest stone lamp that Lao Tzu can find! Do you think Lao Tzu wants to carry such a heavy thing over? Huhu has dinner done? Lao Tzu is starving to death!"

"Okay, okay!" Ji Xiaoyan nodded hurriedly, and then while putting things on the ground with purple bubble coffee, he said to the old man Qingmi suspiciously: "Uncle Shi, I remember that the last time I came here, I saw that their Juli clan has that kind of relatively small lamp, didn't you find it?"

"No!" Old man Qingmi frowned when he heard this, "You're not mistaken?"

"Absolutely not!" Ji Xiaoyan said with certainty, "When Sabrina took me around here, she was holding a small lamp, how could I be mistaken!" Ji Xiaoyan said as she gestured to the old man Qingmi, "It's such a big lamp, it's in Sabrina's hand, it's very small."

"But Uncle Shi and I have really searched for every corner, and we haven't seen such a small lamp!" Blue Bubble Coffee also frowned and said to Ji Xiaoyan, "Could it be that the people of the Juli clan have taken away that kind of lamp?"

When everyone heard this, they were silent for two seconds, thinking about this possibility.

"It must be like this!" the old man slapped his face sharply, and then said: "Speaking of which, those Juli people must have gone to the secret passage, there is nothing wrong! The light in the secret passage is not good, so they need a light source, so they took away all those small lights, yes, there is absolutely nothing wrong"

"But, Uncle Shi, even if it's not wrong, don't you say it, if you don't have Yumo, we can't go to the secret way!" Ji Xiaoyan sighed and said to the old man Qingmi: "Do we still have to wait here for them to come back?"

When the old man heard this, he was stunned, and then he stopped speaking a little frustrated.

So, everyone tacitly stopped the topic and silently took the food and ate.

The sky in the game gradually darkened with time, and after the old man had eaten everything, he found a fire source, held up the blue bubble coffee, and asked him to light the stone lamp, so that the small courtyard where they were staying now would be lit up.

It's just that Ji Xiaoyan and them, who thought they would spend the night quietly here, heard some faint movements in the stone house of the patriarch of the Juli clan not long after the sky was completely dark! "Let's go, go over and have a look!" The old man Qingmi was very bold, as soon as he heard a movement, he immediately beckoned Ji Xiaoyan and them to move towards the room, and when they got closer, they heard a louder movement in that room, knocking knock, it seemed as if there were stones falling to the ground one by one!

"There must be someone inside!" Blue Bubble Coffee glanced at Ji Xiaoyan and them excitedly, and rushed directly to the wall of the stone room, put his ear on it and began to listen.

"Wait, Lao Tzu moved the lamp some!" Old man Qingmi also came to his senses, and took a breath to move the stone lamp they carried here towards the patriarch's stone house, and then followed Ji Xiaoyan and them, put his ear to the stone wall, and listened carefully.

"Uncle Shi, who did you say was staying inside? Could it be the patriarch of the Juli clan?" Ji Xiaoyan listened for a while, except for the sound of stones falling to the ground, they didn't hear any sound, so they looked at the old man Qingmi with some curiosity and asked in a low voice.

"It's possible! This house is locked from the inside! If there is no one inside, how can it not be opened?" The old man nodded, and then rubbed his hands excitedly: "If it is really the patriarch of the Juli clan inside, it will save us a lot of time! Girl, you can talk to him directly about defending the city in a while."

"Hmm!" Ji Xiaoyan responded, and before he could say anything else, he heard the sound of falling rocks in the stone house disappear instantly, and a few seconds later, there were obvious footsteps!

Old man Qingmi and Ji Xiaoyan glanced at each other suspiciously, and then pulled the two brothers and sisters with blue bubble coffee to retreat from the wall of the stone house, found another place around to hide on the ground, and then carefully stared at the door of the patriarch's stone house.

A moment later, the door that could not move no matter how much it was tossed by the old man opened suddenly, and out of it came a man with a vigilant expression from the Juli clan. When the man from the Juli clan saw the stone lamp outside the door that had been moved by the old man, he suddenly froze, and then immediately glanced around a few times, and he didn't know what he thought, so he quickly retreated into the house, not knowing what he was doing inside.

A minute later, just when Ji Xiaoyan thought that there was only one man from the Juli clan in that room, four or five men from the Juli clan suddenly jumped out of the stone room, and then he saw those men of the Juli clan holding a few big wooden sticks in their hands and began to look around
