One shopkeeper.

Six guests.

Plus a dude.

That is to say, at this moment, there should be eight people in this room.

Now the eight of them have "disappeared" out of thin air.

Where are they hiding?

In the innkeeper's bedroom, the west and north sides are walled, the south side is open, and the west side faces the utility room, separated by a thick wooden partition wall.

After basically confirming that there were no secret passages hidden in the two solid walls, there was only one possibility left for the eight people to disappear in this room.

Ground floor!

There were three things in the room that covered the floor.

Dresser, wardrobe, bed.

The first two were quickly denied by Jiang Yichen.

Although the dresser and wardrobe have a small contact area with the floor, it is enough to open a hole for one person to get into.

Of course, the dresser and wardrobe were close to the floor, and it was not difficult for eight people to get into them one after another, but the question was, who would reset them to cover the secret passage again?

In addition, the dresser accumulates too much dust, which shows that the female shopkeeper rarely tosses makeup, and second, from the integrity of the dust, it can be clearly seen that this dresser is just a bedroom makeup, and no one cares about it.

Although there are not many clothes in the wardrobe, its weight is not light, and it makes sense to set up a secret passage behind it, but unfortunately there is a wooden partition wall behind the wardrobe.

It is not necessary to set it underneath, but if you want to let those who enter it, stand underneath and lift the wardrobe to reset, it cannot be completed unless the arm strength is amazing.

In the end, Jiang Yichen still targeted the bed.

In this bed, the bed is about two feet above the ground, and the bed is almost close to the ground, even if you lie on the ground, it is difficult to see what scenery is under the bed.

The bed is neatly furnished.

It can be seen that this shopkeeper should be a person who likes to be neat, or rather, she has not gone to bed since closing.

The bedding and pillows are stacked on top of each other on the inside of the bed.

This is the same as what many people are used to, but it is not excluded that it is precisely because there is a secret passage under the bed board that the bedding and pillow are deliberately pushed to the side.

Jiang Yichen is not worried that there will be any hidden weapons under the bed board, but he is afraid that this bed board is the secret door, once it causes a sound, it will startle the snake.

Therefore, he had to be cautious and take every step of the way.

He folded the mat and mattress to one side, crouched on the floor, pressed his head against the edge of the bed, and slowly lifted a piece of edge board one by one.

Eight people gather together in the middle of the night, and they will never be blind in the dark, no matter where they are hidden, there will be light.

After repeatedly confirming that it was difficult to see a trace of light under the bed board, Jiang Yichen took the bed board away with confidence.

Then the true face of Lushan under the bed was slowly revealed.

This is a three-foot square entrance to a secret passage.

A descending staircase in a secret passage.

Jiang Yichen did not step into it directly, but restored the bed board, straw mat, and mattress one by one, and then awkwardly lifted the bed board again and dodged in.

Although it is awkward, as long as the hand movement is light, it will not make a sound.

While this may seem like a superfluous move, it's undoubtedly the best way to clean up its legacy.

This is the rigor that a killer should have, and when his whereabouts should not be exposed, others will not even be able to find clues.

As soon as he entered the secret passage, Jiang Yichen found that the secret passage was not completely devoid of light.

Just look from the strong light to the low light, and judge that there is a mistake.

Fortunately, this matter was harmless, and Jiang Yichen's attention was quickly taken away by the sound coming from below.

Secretly, you can roughly see that after about twenty steps down the stairs, you will reach the end of the stairs, a bright ground.

It was supposed to be an underground vault.

The sound was also the sound of a conversation coming from a secret room.

I hope I didn't miss too much. Jiang Yichen said secretly in his heart, quickened his pace, and went down against the wall.

Suddenly, there was a cool atmosphere, with a bleak autumn mood, coming towards him, which made Jiang Yichen stunned.

By this time he had taken ten steps, and then he stopped and went no further.

After all, the conversation below is clearly audible.

"That's what we've learned in the past two days. Who's going to talk about it next?"

This voice is restrained and strong, full of neutrality, and it is obvious that the cultivation of this person who speaks is deep and solid.

The meaning of the words could not be more obvious, these people are connecting the results of these days' actions, and this person should be the first to speak, Jiang Yichen only missed the speeches of a group of people, and if he continues to listen, he will definitely gain a lot.

Jiang Yichen was overjoyed and listened quietly.

"I'll do it first. ”

This vocal line seems to be full of rhythm, and in just four words, it is as beautiful as singing.

Jiang Yichen muttered in his heart, three years ago, although he had dealt with people in Juyuan and Shifu, but he did not have a deep understanding, it is not easy to remember their names and appearances, and it is difficult to recognize their voices clearly, and at this time, he can only guess based on his impression.

The suspected Xi Xia man said: "A few days ago, I followed a friend from the Flowing Year Pavilion to the Beacon Tower as a guest, who do you guess I saw?"

A female voice asked very cooperatively, "Who?"

Jiang Yichen was not unfamiliar with this voice, but he couldn't help frowning.

The person who spoke out was the reverse butterfly, and Jiang Yichen had never heard the butterfly speak.

Yemu and Seeking Fragrance should not go wrong, so this reverse butterfly ......

The questions of the past lingered in his mind again, but Jiang Yichen could only temporarily throw them away, for the current situation, it does not matter whether he loves butterflies or reverses butterflies.

The suspected Xi Xia man said: "Five brocade clothes and thousands of households." ”

"Five Jinyi Wei Thousand Households?"

"This ......"

"Shhh

"Isn't it ......"

A series of astonishment rang out from the secret room.

"This is strange, didn't the Beacon Tower get close to the Tushi Gang earlier, and the Tushi Gang and the Jinyi Guard don't deal with each other, and now this Beacon Tower is to see that the Tushi Gang has been too peaceful recently, and wants to step on two boats and seek stability?"

This is another woman's voice, the timbre is a little rougher than that of the reverse butterfly, and it sounds like a hearty and informal woman.

Regarding the identity of this woman, Jiang Yichen is more inclined to judge that she is the innkeeper.

I heard her say again: "But I'm more curious about how you followed the Flowing Year Pavilion into the Beacon Tower?"

The man replied, "Hey, have you forgotten what the Flowing Year Pavilion is for?"

The woman said, "What are you doing? Isn't it just singing?"

The man chirped: "Phew! vulgar, this is called literati romance." ”

"There are only a dozen people in the Pavilion of the Passing Songs, everyone is proficient in music and rhythm, and they are proficient in one or two musical instruments, but most of them are mediocre in martial arts, and only the Pavilion Master Xue Qinghuan can be ranked among the masters of the four seas. These literati are not intoxicated with martial arts, and they are also indifferent to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, just for a moment of peace, they only tread the waves. They are attached to the beacon tower, they will not be too ostentatious, and they will not be tired of coping, Xiao Xia has a lot of attainments in music, and they must be friends with Yin, and they should not refuse to mix in with an identity. ”

In a few words, this person analyzed the stakes clearly, and Jiang Yichen also heard his identity, a meat moth.

That man was really Xi Xia, there was no doubt about it.

Xi Xia said: "Right." ”

Meat Moth said: "Okay, I'm more concerned, those five brocade clothes and thousands of households." ”

Xi Xia said: "Yes, yes, that's the point!"

Jiang Yichen immediately pricked up his ears when he heard this, he was basically sure that this was a nest of people who listened to the Rain Pavilion, and they gathered in Xijiang County, it seemed that they had come to investigate some gang clues.

And the five Jinyi Wei Qianhu mentioned at this time, he was also extremely interested, after all, this number of people is too coincidental.

In the past, it was five Jinyi Wei Qianhu who went to Wudang Mountain to ask for Taiji swordsmanship.

The same five thousand households appeared in Longyuan Gorge two months ago to fight side by side with the Silver Evil Gate.

The five brocade guards in Xi Xia's words, will they still be those five?
