There was a brief silence in the room.

After a while, the young man thought about it and raised his eyes to the sky and said, "But it's a little strange that in the past few days, no one in our town has seen that person appear!" ”

Tianfang raised his head and looked at him in slight surprise and asked, "Hasn't it ever appeared?" Are you sure the man is gone? ”

"Yes," the young man said earnestly after meeting his gaze, "I heard that it seems to be out, but it's not in town anyway!" ”

"Before he left Nanhua Town, the shopkeepers of several shops on the east side of the town had seen him."

&nbs;The young man said affirmatively, "As I mentioned to you just now, everyone here in Zhennan is very familiar with him. ”

"Because he wanders around town every day," the young man grinned, "and he can't see the figure, but everyone knows it!" ”

Tianfang's eyes suddenly froze, looked at the young man and asked, "When did he disappear?" ”

"I'll do the math," the young man hung his head and thought for a moment, then continued, "By the way, didn't I just mention to you the guest who made the snack?" ”

"In my memory, it was about the same time as when he left!"

There is no other reference to the young man's heart.

It just so happened that the time of the person's disappearance was indeed about the same as the time when the guest who stayed at the hotel left.

Hearing the inquiry of the guest in front of him, he said it casually!

Because when Tianfang asked, his tone was very soothing, and it sounded easy for people to say what they knew.

The young man didn't think much about the reason for this, but if there was a kung fu master here. You'll be aware of some of the details.

In the next second, he was stunned and saw that the face of the guest in front of him changed slightly.

Tianfang lowered his eyes and thought about it, and quickly adjusted his feelings. looked at it with a breezy expression on his face.

"Well, it's interesting, I heard you tell you about the town."

He spoke softly to the young man.

The latter was stunned,

"You also said, it just so happens that the innkeeper is not there, so it's not strange to be lazy."

Tianfang raised the corners of his mouth at the young man

Listening to the young man turn his head and walk away, the footsteps were far away again.

Tianfang returned to the house, closed the door, and sat down at the table.

He took out the map from his baggage. Spread flat on the table.

Looking at the picture on the table, a thought flashed through Tianfang's mind.

Why did that person leave around the same time as Xiaoling?

Since they left at about the same time, is there a connection between the two?

Now. The town of Nanhua, where they are located, is a necessary stop on the way to the Northland.

Business travelers from the south to the north, individual tourists passing by, almost all of those people will stay in Nanhua Town, at least one night. A few days.

Some of these people were attracted by the market in the north of the town. Buying or setting up stalls to sell, some stay in the town to rest because of the fatigue of the long journey.

In short, everyone's reasons for staying are different, so that Nanhua Town, as a stopover, although not as big as Suzhou, is always a place that cannot be ignored.

The day was put in the town for a short time.

Not only did he hear the message of his little sister, but he also saw the movements of people of different races. I even saw people from Wang Shi passing by on the street.

It's really hilarious!

The long street adjacent to the inn gradually quieted down at this point.

There was no sleepiness in the silence in his heart. At this moment, it was like a marquee, and many frames flashed one after another, and then several thoughts came to me.

The guards sent out to spy have not yet returned.

Tianfang didn't know what the alien people were planning in that small alley near the north of the town!

Until the truth is revealed, there is no way to speculate.

Indeed, this trip is just doing things according to feelings.

Because he saw the sneaky appearance of those people at the mouth of the alley in the market, his intuition was not simple.

Let him decide to send his guards for a trip.

At this moment, the heavens let him wait for news from both sides.

In addition to the guards looking for the little sister in the mountains, there are also the two guards who are on a spy mission.

In Tianfang's plan, just as he told the innkeeper, he originally thought that as soon as it was dawn tomorrow morning, they planned to leave Nanhua Town.

I plan to go to the mountains, follow the trails, and act according to the plan of the heavenly release.

However, if you want to walk around Nanhua Town, you can only listen to the news tonight.

They were pressed for time and could not be delayed for long.

For them, Nanhua Town is a strange place.

Everything they heard in the town had to be done on their own.

In addition to understanding the situation with the young man in the inn, Tianfang's effective guards under him can't be wasted, which can just come in handy

Tianfang thought of this, the corners of his lips moved slightly, in his opinion, fortunately, luck is not bad, at least now he already has traces of his little junior sister.

She had stopped at the town inn and happened to be in the same house.

This is a coincidence, and it seems that there is a hand in the dark that controls it, setting things right.

As long as Tianfang thought that he would be able to meet his little junior sister soon, his mood would be much better.

The usual approach of the guards will require more effort to probe and inquire

Tianfang pays attention to the Northland and all those involved in it.

From the location of Wang Shi's action to the situation in the Northland at the moment, the most important of them is still the news of the little junior sister.

A great battle is about to begin in the Northlands, and the two sides are the empress and the princess.

There is a prediction of victory and defeat in the day, and there is also a certain inhumane assessment of the strength of the two sides.

It's just that the battle situation is changing, and I heard that there are also capable people joining there, which adds a bit of uncertainty to the war.

As he pondered on the boat, a wave rose in his heart. He had ever thought that someone who reached out to the south of Xilan, did the other party plan to change the tide of the battle after intervening?

Tianfang knew that the man was deep in thought.

I always feel that he inexplicably appeared in the empress's marching camp and served as a national teacher, with that person's temperament. It's a bit of an indescribable taste.

What's going on in your heart? That person is not something that can be understood lightly.

What was he going to do? Meddle in the war? Or do you want to give advice to the empress?

Old questions are not thoroughly clarified, and new questions keep popping up.

Tianfang turned his eyes to the window, thinking about this, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

This is not the first time I have experienced this depressed feeling!

After a while, Tian walked over slowly, pushed open the window and glanced out.

Unfortunately, he looked around. I saw two figures walking hurriedly on the long street.

Tianfang has excellent eyesight, so he naturally knows the identities of the two, and his eyebrows moved. I know that most of the guards have heard the news and returned

In the lobby of the inn, it is warm.

At this time, there are also a few guests who are tasting the delicious snacks made by Master Ding brought by the inn boy.

As soon as the steaming stewed hemp food was served, several people scrambled to take it first.

Each person gets a bowl and tastes it.

I've been waiting for a long time. In their opinion, it is well worth it. As long as Master Ding comes back, they can eat as soon as they want, and they can ignore the boredom of waiting before.

Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and several people in the inn lobby were too busy eating to look up.

The only one who noticed the movement outside the door was the young man at the inn.

He thought about it for a moment, but then walked to the door to greet the two men who had entered.

The two people who approached the inn were cold and looked like they were walking in a hurry.

The guests upstairs seem to have said that the companion has gone to the north of the town, and this time it should be back from the night market in the north of the town!

The young man listened to what Tianfang said and had a preconceived idea. I have an impression in my head.

But he looked at the two in front of him, and his gaze stayed on their faces. From one person to another.

The young man looked at them and said in his heart: Why don't these two look like they are coming back from drinking and going shopping?

It seems that I went to do something important, and hurried back to the inn!

The young man chuckled in his heart, for fear that something would happen, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a friendly manner: "You two came back so late?" ”

After he finished speaking, the two guards were quite surprised, and stopped to look at each other.

One of them softened his tone at the young man and asked, "Do you know where the one who came with us is now?" ”

"Oh, you ask the guest," said the young man fluently, "he is upstairs. ”

The young man said enthusiastically: "The big guys were eating just now, and Master Ding from our inn made it." ”

"I even brought a bowl to the guests upstairs."

The satellite guards glanced at the table where the guests were sitting in the lobby.

They had hurried back to report the news of their master, and had not paid any attention to the people who were eating in the lobby of the inn.

With what Zhenbei Tan heard in his mind, where would he be distracted to think about this, all they were thinking about was how to make it clear to the Lord.

At this moment, as soon as the young man mentioned it, the guard paid special attention to the direction for a while, and only then did he realize the aroma in the room.

and the appearance of those guests eating heartily.

From the looks of the guests, it looks delicious!

The young man followed their line of sight and asked, "If you want to eat, Master Ding hasn't left yet, I'll go to the kitchen and ask him to make a few more bowls!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the guards did not answer, and the guests eating in the lobby suddenly burst into joy when they heard this.

They said to the young man in a loud voice: "So there are still them!" ”

"Hey, I'm tired of telling the cook, we still want to eat again."

"yes, it's not fun, can you have another bowl!"

"Can you make a big pot?"

The young man smiled and shook his head, in his opinion, Master Ding's cooking was indeed not as good as the guest a few days ago, but those who tasted it for the first time would think that the taste was very special.

Just like the guests said when they waited, eat fresh!

The guard turned his head to meet the young man's gaze, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but for some reason, what he said was: "Then it's bothering you." ”

They exchanged glances rather awkwardly.

Then one of the guards said, "We'll have to go up first, and then come down later." ”

"Okay, anyway, Master Ding will have to take some time to do it well."

The young man said disapprerovingly.

The two guards went around the lobby one after the other to the wooden staircase and went directly upstairs.

The young man followed them, in the direction of the large kitchen in the backyard

Tianfang's gaze fell on the two people in front of him.

"Lord, there's something strange about that alley." One of the guards took the lead.

"How did you hear that?" Tianfang sat in a chair and looked at them and asked.

"It's a coincidence," the guard paused, his eyes turned to heaven, and continued, "We followed them into a house in the alley. ”

The guard pursed his lips and said, "Out of caution, we don't dare to rush forward, and we plan to wait for the opportunity to move." ”

Tianfang nodded, a clear look in his eyes.

The guard paused, and then said, "Lord, we waited in the market for about half an hour, and when it was dark, they came out of the house. ”

"How many people do you know?" Tianfang asked.

"There are quite a few people, it seems that they have all gathered in the house."

The guard thought for a moment and replied seriously: "It's not so eye-catching to follow on the street, there are a lot of people coming and going. “

"We followed their people all the way to the outside of the restaurant."

The guard whispered, "The restaurant they went to is a big one next to the market. ”

"That family saw that there were a lot of locals in Nanhua Town, and then we followed them in and saw them go to the elegant seat upstairs."

"The place we chose is in the next room."

The guard glanced at Tianfang and said, "Those people ordered wine and food, and I heard that they made a few transactions and made a lot of money, so they went to celebrate, Lord." ”

Hearing this, Tianfang's expression sank slightly, and then asked, "Have you ever found a way to sneak into that house and figure out what kind of business it is?" ”

The guard immediately nodded and said, "Of course, let's see that those people won't leave the restaurant for a while, but all the people in the house have already been counted, so after some discussion, we decided to go our separate ways." ”

One stayed in the private room and continued to watch them, while the other went to spy in the house.

"Lord, look at this." One of the guards took something out of his bosom and handed it to Tianfang.

"I used some tricks in the courtyard to lure away the guards and sneak in," the guard paused and changed his tone, "but I saw that there were a lot of porcelain vases in their house, and it should be the business they said!" ”

"In case we take it, the other party realizes that the quantity is wrong, so I just opened the bottle and took some slightly and brought it back."

It's easy to take away a bottle, the problem is that a change in quantity can be a problem.

If you startle the snake, they will find out that there will be extraneous branches.

Tianfang took the things handed over by the guard
