Chapter 665: Scapegoat

It was dark inside the inn, and only the few Changfeng Dart Bureau dart masters guarding the door still had two small oil lamps lit, which could not illuminate such a large inn at all...... This is a good thing for Zuo Yang, and it can make his "Shadow Escape Technique" play the greatest role.

And those dart masters were already leaning against the door and dozing, and their mouths kept snoring evenly.

But it was quite difficult to leave the inn without alarming them, because the deadbolt on the inn door was a little rough, and it would make a sound whenever someone moved, and besides, even if the deadbolt was removed, when the door was opened, it would definitely meet these dart masters who were napping next to them.

Of course, this is also so far, Zuo Yang has no idea of escaping here for the time being.

Otherwise, he would not have let Uncle Conch go offline, but would have taken advantage of this opportunity to kill the few dart masters guarding the door, and then disappeared into the vast desert with Uncle Conch.

Now that you've come here and you've encountered an adventure mission, you have to have a result, so you can't come in vain, right?

Slowly groping in the darkness like this, Zuo Yang did not use the "Secret of Holding Breath", because according to his previous experience, if the NPC does not reach the level of the "Generation Grandmaster", it is generally impossible to feel the breath clearly, and the highest NPC in the Dragon Gate Inn is only one level lower than the "Generation Grandmaster" "Invincible", so as long as he does not make a relatively large movement or is too close, the possibility of exposure should still be very low.

Zuo Yang didn't go down the stairs to the first floor to check, but quietly approached the room where those NPCs lived along the circular corridor on the second floor, he just wanted to eavesdrop on the wall if these guys would say something valuable after the lights went out, so as to judge his current situation and the purpose of these guys.

Of course, if someone's room wasn't closed, he wouldn't mind sneaking in to see if he could get something useful.

The first thing I came to was outside the door of the white-faced scholar Zhou Guang, Zuo Yang held his breath and put his ear on the crack of the door to listen, it was very quiet inside, and he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing, but it was undeniable that many people didn't snore when they slept, and even their breathing was very light, and Zuo Yang was now separated from it by a door, and it was normal not to hear any sound.

After listening to this for about a few minutes, and confirming that no one would speak, Zuo Yang put his ears back, and then tiptoed to the door of the room where the dart master of the Changfeng Dart Bureau was located.

He had noticed before that the dart masters of the Changfeng Dart Bureau occupied a total of 3 rooms.

Xia Dart Tou shared a room with the two older dart masters, and the rest of the people shared the remaining two rooms, but because the dart master was keeping vigil outside tonight, the remaining two rooms actually didn't live in a few people.

The situation here is very different from that of the white-faced scholar Zhou Guang.

"Whew! Whew! ”

Zuo Yang had just come to the door, and he didn't need to listen at all, he had already heard the snoring sound like an electric drill coming from inside very clearly, and one after another, one mountain was higher than the other.

The people in this are definitely asleep, and it is impossible to talk privately or anything, unless they use a roar to drown out these voices, no one can hear what the other party is saying.

However, this situation only appeared in the room shared by the two dart masters, and after walking through these two rooms, I came to the door of the room where Xia Darthead was, although there were still some snoring sounds inside, but the snoring was obviously much quieter...... Zuo Yang suspected that the people in the room of the Changfeng Dart Bureau were likely to be classified according to the snoring sound, and then the room would be assigned, so as not to affect the rest of the people with a loud snort, and Xia Darthead, as the leader of this dart team, naturally had to live with the two dart masters with a small snort.

So Zuo Yang stayed at the door of the room where Xia Darthead was located for a while, still listening intently.

And as a result, there is still nothing.

Now only the Tatars and the room of Jin Huaiyu, the shopkeeper of the Dragon Gate Inn, are left, and if they can't overhear any useful information from them, Zuo Yang will have to go offline to rest, and everything will be improvised.

And at this very time.

"Squeak——!"

An extremely faint voice came from downstairs, and from the direction from which the sound came from, Zuo Yang could probably tell that it should be the side room where the guys in the inn on the first floor lived.

Hearing this voice, Zuo Yang naturally didn't dare to act rashly, just squatted quietly in the dark to see what would happen next.

Not much.

An emaciated figure walked out of the side room where the inn guys lived, and then tiptoed up the stairs to the mouth, even if the face of this person could not be seen clearly in the dark, but just by his figure, Zuo Yang could tell that this person was the emaciated guy he had seen before.

After going upstairs, the emaciated guy came directly to the door of Zuo Yang and Uncle Conch's room, and put his ear to the door like Zuo Yang and eavesdropped.

He also closed the door when Zuo Yang came out before, otherwise the emaciated guy must have noticed that he had sneaked out.

After listening like this for a while, and finding no movement, the emaciated man straightened up, and then groped twice with his right hand in his arms, and found a thin bamboo pipe from it, and leaned down to stretch it into the gap under the door.

"It's ......"

Zuo Yang had already realized what he was going to do.

Really.

After sticking the bamboo tube in, the emaciated guy took the other end of the bamboo tube in his mouth and slowly blew into it...... This is a common routine in costume dramas, the bamboo pipe is generally filled with smoke, and the people in the room will soon lose consciousness after blowing it in.

After blowing, the emaciated man put away the bamboo pipe again, and then continued to lie on the door and listen.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, this should be the time limit for the smoke to spread and play a role, the emaciated guy made sure that there was still no movement inside, so he straightened up and walked straight to the room where Jin Huaiyu lived, and then knocked on the door gently.

"Knock-knock!"

Two light and one heavy, this should be some kind of preconceived and negotiated code.

"Squeak ——!"

The door opened, and Jin Huaiyu walked out of it.

"Shopkeeper, it's done."

The emaciated guy said with a pinched voice.

"Well, go get those guys out and discuss what's next."

Jin Huaiyu nodded and said.

"Gotcha."

The emaciated man answered, and then turned to the room where Uzhna was, and knocked on the door in the same way, and Uzhna quickly walked out of the room.

Then there is the white-faced scholar Zhou Guang, and the head of the summer dart of the Changfeng Dart Bureau.

At the Longmen Inn, which seemed to have already fallen asleep, the four bigwigs soon gathered together, and one sat at a table downstairs.

And under this movement, the dart masters guarding the door have already woken up.

But they only stood up, and did not show any surprise, obviously they also knew the situation of the Dragon Gate Inn.

"These guys are really in the same group!"

Seeing this scene, Zuo Yang's previous baseless speculation was instantly ironclad.

After all four of them sat down, Jin Huaiyu said to the white-faced scholar Zhou Guang straight to the point: "Zhi'an, now that the scapegoat is gone, when will the people from Dongchang come, you have to give us a letter." ”

"Yes."

The leader of Wuzhina also looked at the white-faced scholar Zhou Guang and nodded.

"I suspect that if nothing else, they will be there in two days."

The white-faced scholar knocked on the table with one hand and said with great certainty.

Scapegoat?

Zuo Yang felt in his heart, it was obvious that this so-called "scapegoat" should refer to him and Uncle Conch.

And the people of the East Factory ...... What is the East Factory, Zuo Yang naturally knows, it is the eunuch institution around the emperor, and it has the same functions as the "Jin Yi Wei", and even has more power than the "Jin Yi Wei", but the difference is that the people in the East Factory are all eunuchs.

Combined with the old eunuch group I met before...... Are these people the target of them?

However, what's going on with "Zhi'an", it should be the real name of the white-faced scholar, and the so-called "Zhou Guang" is just a pseudonym for himself and Uncle Conch?
