The ship went down the water, and after about two hours, as the captain said, they reached the boundary of the capital of the same state. Many of the passengers in the cabin were exhausted and collapsed, and some had already vomited a few times.

The sun had already set, and it was pitch black outside, but fortunately, it was still the first half of the night.

The captain propped up the pole in front of a wharf, patted the cabin heavily, and said: "It's here! It's here! Tongzhou has arrived! There are several wharves in the boundary of Tongzhou, and this is the outermost one, ten miles away from Tongzhou City." There are people who have disembarked here, wake up quickly! There is an inn on the shore for everyone to rest, and they can sleep and enter the city again tomorrow. ”

As soon as they heard that they could get off the boat, Feng Mu and his party didn't discuss with each other at all, and walked onto the river bank together, they really didn't want to stay in the crowded cabin for any more minute.

The lights on the dock were on, and there were probably more than a dozen passengers who disembarked at the same time as Feng Mu and his party, but there were also people walking in the opposite direction, and it seemed that even at this time, there were still merchants who were busy.

On the shore, the inn's little two were picking up guests, and asked about the room rate, and the little two said that it was so late that the inn also provided supper to each person. However, housing prices are still ridiculously high. Of course, I can't care about the price at this time, so I have to find a place to sleep well.

So under the guidance of Xiao Er, the four of them arrived at the inn in a daze. The inn is not small, very close to the pier, and there are many travelers in the hall checking in. Feng Mu just wanted to sleep, he hurriedly took out Jibei, and urged the shopkeeper to hurry up and check in and get the key quickly. The shopkeeper wore a black hat and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, guest officer, the guest room is tight now, can you wronged the four of you and live in the same house?"

Jing Xiangyao's face sank, and said, "How can this be done? ”

The shopkeeper still smiled: "I'm really embarrassed, the little ones can't do anything, there are too many guests tonight, I can only wronged a few of you." You see, there are so many people in the queue behind me. ”

"Okay, so be it. Feng Mu waved his hand impatiently, and then said softly to Jing Xiangyao: "Wait for you to sleep on the bed, just a few of us can lie on the table casually." ”

got the key, and the four of them went up to the second floor of the inn under the guidance of the previous little two. One room after another lined up on the second floor, and suddenly, one of the doors opened, and a tall man walked out. He had a square face, and a long scar lay across his face.

Xiao Er nodded to him: "Brother Zhong Ming, hello, hello." ”

Zhong Ming agreed vaguely in his mouth, and swaggered over, without even looking at Xiao Er.

Huangfu Changjun lightly stepped on Feng Mu's toes, Feng Mu looked at him suspiciously, maybe he was really a little sleepy, Feng Mu didn't think deeply.

After walking a few more steps, I soon arrived at the four-person chamber, the key opened the door, fortunately, the chamber was not small, and some food was already on the table. The four of them stacked their luggage in the corner to the east and ate it like a whirlwind.

The only bed was given to Jing Xiangyao, and Feng Mu, Jing Lang, and Huangfu Changjun each occupied one side of the table. Jing Lang didn't say much, and went directly to the meeting with Zhou. It was late at night, and after sitting on the boat for so long, everyone was really tired.

Feng Mu was about to extinguish the light in the room, but Huangfu Changjun stopped him.

"What's the matter?" Feng Mu asked vigilantly.

Huangfu Changjun shook his head slightly: "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say where." ”

Feng Muyi said: "Oh, that's it, then let's be cautious." ”

After speaking, Feng Mu lay down on the table and quickly fell asleep. Before he was fully asleep, Feng Mu was woken up by Huangfu Changjun. Although they didn't get along for a long time, Feng Mu knew the style of the Emperor Fu Changjun, and he asked nervously, "What happened?" ”

Huangfu Changjun made a silent gesture: "There is a problem here, follow me." ”

Hearing this, Feng Mu's sleepiness suddenly disappeared for the most part. He didn't ask much, followed the emperor and went out of the room. The two walked one after the other, close to the side room. At this time, the lights in the hall were turned off a little, and there were many fewer guests than before.

After walking for a while, the Emperor Changjun stopped. Feng Mu remembered that this was the room where Zhong Ming came out before.

"You see, what they're doing. Huangfu Changjun pointed to the small hole in the window paper and said in a very low voice.

"There's no light in there, it's pitch black, what do you want me to see?" Feng Mu was very puzzled.

"It's black inside?" Emperor Fu Changjun exclaimed, he looked more confused than Feng Mu.

"That's right. Feng Mu was a little at a loss.

Huangfu Changjun didn't believe it, and raised his body slightly. As soon as his forehead passed the bottom layer of the window paper, he quickly retracted his head, then turned around, pushed Feng Mu twice, and said in a low voice: "Go back to the room, quickly, go back to the room, someone has come out." ”

Feng Mu immediately turned around when he heard this, and the two of them quickly returned to the room one after the other.

Still not extinguishing the lights, Huangfu Changjun returned to his original seat, crossed his hands, and pretended to sleep with his head on his hands. Seeing this, Feng Mu also pretended to fall asleep. Huangfu Changjun may not be at ease, he raised his head and said, "No matter what happens, you must not move until I call you." ”

"Okay. Although he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of Huangfu Changjun, Feng Mu still agreed.

After about twenty minutes, Feng Mu felt that Huangfu Changjun pushed him. Opening his eyes, Feng Mu said, "What's the matter? I don't seem to notice anything." ”

The twenty minutes I pretended to be asleep just now, I wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, and I had to stay awake at all times, which was really uncomfortable.

Huangfu Changjun's eyes widened: "Two people came in just now, Zhong Ming, and another big man with them! They rummaged through our luggage and went out again just now!"

"How could it be?" Feng Mu was confused, "Isn't the luggage there?"

Huangfu Changjun turned his head to see that the luggage was indeed all in the list, and he turned to ask, "Can you remember the order in which our luggage was stacked?"

Feng Mu shook his head, he was sleepy and hungry when he entered the room, how could he pay attention to this.

Looking at Huangfu Changjun's expression, Feng Mu knew that things were not so simple, he walked to the east corner and found that all the luggage, including Jing Lang's box, was similar in shape to the original. When I opened it, I saw that the package containing the clothes and Jibei was intact, except for Jinglang's box, which was not as heavy as before, and when I opened the box, it was empty.

The two hurriedly woke up Jing Lang and Jing Xiangyao who were asleep, and after briefly explaining the strange things that had happened, Jing Lang rushed to his box and jumped like thunder, fortunately Huangfu Changjun covered his mouth, otherwise the whole inn could hear his roar.
