Seeing that Lao Dao stopped, Qin Chuan sighed helplessly, knowing that there was another uninvited guest behind him. If he was still doubting Lao Dao's ability before, but now that he has experienced so many things, Qin Chuan already knows that Lao Dao's sense of smell for danger is different from ordinary people, so he also slowed down to look at who was behind him.

The place where the two of them stand, is located in the rich place of Qingzhou City, called Jinhua Lane, Qingzhou City has a lot of wealthy giants have a family business here, the light to see the high wall next to it is more than two people high, the green bricks piled up on it are also carved with a lot of scenery figures, although after a lot of time of wind and rain, it can be vaguely seen that the original process is very cumbersome, and it costs a lot of money.

However, Qin Chuan didn't bother to look at the carved mansion next to him, but looked carefully behind him. It's just that it's dark at the moment, and except for the occasional few people passing by with bags on their backs, I can't see any other suspicious people.

Jinyi Lane is a quiet place in Qingzhou City, except for the occasional shortcut peddler pawn passing by, few others walk here, after all, the ragged person is very easy to be caught as a thief, and it is inevitable to be tortured. Even if you catch the wrong person, you won't get any money compensation.

Lao Dao carried the meal wrapped in oilskin paper, and said to Qin Chuan with a smile: "In an alley like this, it is most likely to kill people and sell goods. Don't look at this is a gathering place for rich businessmen, but there are very few pedestrians here, so the guards of these big families are also useless, as long as they don't enter his mansion, what happens on this kind of street has nothing to do with him, and Qingzhou City's hunting is because this is the home of a rich businessman, so he is not hanging here, since that person chooses here, he must be very familiar with Qingzhou City. ”

After hearing this, Qin Chuan was disapproving, and said in a low voice: "We have rarely left Qingzhou City so far, so the people we provoke are some bandits from the martial arts rivers and lakes, and even those in the ghost city, but after a long time, we didn't have a face-to-face with them, since we can chase them to Qingzhou City, we don't have to think about it to know that it is someone from Qingzhou City." ”

After hearing this, Lao Dao glanced at Qin Chuan, took out the remaining April Qing from noon and said: "Old rule, this time you solve it alone, if you can't get out of the time of half a pillar of incense, Lao Dao, I have to go back to Tongfu Inn first, regardless of your life or death." ”

After the old way finished speaking, as he had done last time, he walked into the depths of the alley and found a place where he sat down on a smooth step. This is the side door of the big family, which is usually only opened when the red and white are celebrated, so Lao Dao didn't care about taking out the wine bag filled with half a pot of April green, and watched with a smile how Qin Chuan cleaned up the person in front of him.

Between the two courtyard walls, there is only a distance of about two feet long, and the old men of the rich side of Qingzhou City are also very stingy, leaving only a sheep intestine alley for pedestrians to pass, if it is not for the temple above the law that the middle of the alley can not be narrower than two feet, I am afraid that the two courtyard walls here will be next to each other.

But it is precisely because of this terrain that it is very suitable for a good ambush killer, such a narrow place is difficult to turn around, for some burly people, they cannot win by brute force, but cheaper for some sturdy people.

Qin Chuan calmed down and held his breath, staring at the direction of the alley with his two eyes, but he couldn't see any figure. However, Qin Chuan did not doubt Lao Dao's intuition. Since it is said that there is someone following behind, it must be that this person has been following for a long time before being discovered by Lao Dao. But seeing that Lao Dao was so complacent, he definitely wouldn't tell himself where that person was.

After waiting for a long time, the sky was getting dark, candles were lit up in the courtyard next to him, and the sound of some subordinates chattering began to appear, but Qin Chuan still couldn't wait for the trace of that person. This person is like a big insect in the deep mountains and dense forests, and he will not do it until he is absolutely sure, otherwise he will only lie dormant quietly and blend in with the surrounding environment.

Qin Chuan closed his eyes and placed himself between this heaven and earth, carefully feeling the changes around him.

The courtyard wall on the left side of the far side should be the mansion of a wealthy merchant, and he listened with bated breath, as if someone was talking to himself, counting how much money he had made today. Suddenly, someone pushed the door in, the heavy wooden door creaked, and the man who counted the silver coins sighed and said: "After this silver money is handed over to Zhou Youliang, there is not much left in our family, and at the end of the year, it is to make wedding dresses for others." ”

The one who pushed the door into the door should be the wife or concubine of this rich merchant, listening to the gentle and pleasant voice, he poured a cup of tea and comforted: "It's the New Year in a blink of an eye, as long as people are safe and sound, and the money is less, it's enough." Otherwise, if I run around every year and don't see you come back, how can my stomach move. ”

It seems that this is a wealthy businessman who has been newly married to Yan'er, and only returned home after a year of hard work, and got some complaints.

Qin Chuan held his breath and listened to the courtyard wall on the right, which seemed to be the mansion of a certain temple person, and the people next to him were chopping wood for cooking, and the food rolled into the oil pot to make a sizzling sound, and after a while, the fragrance diffused. Then the two subordinates said that their master didn't know if he would come back tonight. I heard that the state guard was going to Baiyun Temple to burn incense recently, so everything had to be prepared. It's just that this year's New Year is approaching, and I don't know how much New Year's silver the lord will give, whether it will be like the old year, and reward some strange things.

Qin Chuan frowned, thinking that this stalker was so delicately hidden, he must be waiting somewhere, it could be a firewood house within the courtyard wall, or it could be a pedestrian on the corner of the street, but since he had been waiting here for such a long time, he would definitely leak clues. Although he did not condense the two places of Empty Mountain and Danhai, and his perception of the aura of heaven and earth was not very sensitive, according to his current strength, he should be able to find this person.

Perceiving the movements left and right, there seemed to be no problem, and Qin Chuan closed his eyes to perceive other places. At a distance of twenty steps from him, there was a person's heartbeat that was very strong, but suddenly it was very weak, and Qin Chuan couldn't help but open his eyes and look.

Seeing this, Lao Dao scolded: "Rabbit cub, I can't even tell my breath, what martial arts master do you still learn to find a hole and move the position, it's better to scold him honestly and see if he fights with you." ”

Qin Chuan smiled slightly, it seems that this old Taoist still has a lot of secrets, but the most anxious thing at the moment is to find the person behind him as soon as possible and see if the other party is friend or foe.

There was the sound of a dog barking in the distance, it should be another pedestrian passing by, and after a while the place returned to silence again, in the alleys of Jinyi Lane at night, it was difficult to see some idle people passing by, unless some drunken people, or some poor people who took a shortcut, but it was certainly not in a hurry.

On the other side of the old road, there was a faint sound of wind, flowing through the cracks in the roof tiles, and there was some whimpering sound. A cat glanced slightly, walked on the broken tiles on the roof, and suddenly jumped down to a pile of fallen leaves, and could no longer hear any sound.

At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly sensed that when the wind was passing through the eaves in the corner of the wall, it was not as weak as elsewhere, but as if it had hit some heavy wall, and he turned a corner and blew forward.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly, staring at the eaves on the left, and under the careful view, there was indeed a black shadow, if he didn't look at it carefully, he only felt that there was an extra wood carving here.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be sneaky, come out!" Qin Chuan said to the black shadow.
