Chapter 330: The Ear of the Wall
The night was hazy.
The gentle autumn wind, mixed with the cold autumn mood, makes the insects chirp gradually, and there is no sound.
The autumn breeze is blowing, and the direct teaching is trembling, but it is also refreshing.
The secret room would have made people feel dull and depressing, but at this moment, the people in it, their faces, eyebrows, and words were completely relaxed.
Presumably, this hearty autumn breeze is indispensable.
If it is a secret room, where does the wind come from?
The wind came from the river.
There are nearly 100 large and small houses in Jianglin Town, and more than half of them stand near the river, and Yanhui Inn is one of them.
This secret room is only separated from the river by a wall.
There are ventilation holes in the walls that are half a foot square, less than a foot above the water.
Under the blue sky and white sun, even if someone stands by the river, they only think that the mouth of the dark hole is just a drainage outlet, and there is no way to know that it is boring.
The hole is bent at two right angles, and the depth is three feet.
In this way, whether it is a hot wave or a cold wind, it is difficult to go straight into it.
Heat insulation in summer and cold resistance in winter, only the soothing spring breeze and the sassy autumn breeze can be unimpeded.
Considering both ventilation and deliberately avoiding people's eyes, it is clear that this secret room is used very frequently, and it is often inhabited by people, as for what it is used for, outsiders must know nothing.
For at least the last two years, no one has been able to detect the existence of this secret room.
The chamber is two feet wide, but the length is inscrutable.
As far as the current eight people are concerned, the room is five zhang long, but after five zhang is a wall.
There was a door in the wall, but behind the door it was not known.
There are no elaborate ornaments or ornate decorations in the secret room, and even the walls are bare.
The light comes from the candle flame on the table.
The table is a long table with ten wooden chairs on either side of the long table.
There were eight people sitting on the wooden chairs.
The eight of them were talking about the harvest of these days, unaware that there were ears on the wall.
Behind the wall, Jiang Yichen naturally didn't know what was going on in this secret room, he had no eyes at this time, only ears.
How many people were in the secret room, who were there, what they were talking about, he could only judge by his ears.
He had been listening for an hour.
This means that the eight people below also spoke for an hour.
In this hour, in addition to the sound of speech, he also heard the sound of pacing back and forth, the sound of pounding the table in annoyance, and the sound of pouring wine and water.
This hour was a torment for Jiang Yichen.
He had to concentrate on two things, listening intently to the conversation of the eight while also having to devote another part of his energy to notice if anyone was approaching below or overhead.
If someone from below was going to come up, it would be fine, and he was sure that he would disappear before they reached the top of the stairs without making a sound.
If someone wants to come down from his head, it will be a lot of trouble, he doesn't know if there is another place to escape in the secret room, the only escape route is above his head, and if someone comes from above, he will definitely not be able to get out if he is not ruthless.
And the worst possibility is that it just so happens that someone at the bottom wants to return to the top, and someone at the top wants to come down at the same time.
It can be said that Jiang Yichen sneaked into the secret room of the Yanhui Inn this time, and the risk he took was no less than that of infiltrating the Netherworld Sect alone.
Of course, to deal with these people in Tingyu Pavilion, Jiang Yichen still has a back hand, but if he is not forced to do so, it is naturally better not to use it.
High risk also means high reward.
In this hour, the information that Jiang Yichen heard was enough to make up for the lack of information in the Netherworld Sect for most of the month.
From Xi Xia's mouth, I learned that the Beacon Building is in close contact with the Jinyi Guard, and in a few days, the five Jinyi Guards have not left the Beacon Tower, and they have discussed very carefully with the landlord and several elders, and they seem to have made plans for the future and promised each other.
And those five Jinyi Wei Qianhu are also the five Yin Yang people who appeared in Longyuan Gorge a few months ago, it is obvious that they are here on behalf of Jinyi Wei to win over the forces of the rivers and lakes.
In the following conversation between the eight people, Jiang Yichen also figured out their specific identities and the general purpose of coming to Xijiang County.
The owner and the guy of the Yanhui Inn are really people who listen to the Yu Pavilion, and the purpose of entering this store is to facilitate the information of the various sects around Xijiang County, and it can also become a foothold for the people in the pavilion when necessary.
The boss's name is Feipiao, and she is a woman who speaks loudly, and several people under her call her "Ah Piao".
The middle-aged guy with a deeper voice, named Mu Yan, is also known as "Boss Mu", and I think this person used to be a merchant with a head and a face.
And the young guy who guards the top, called Xiao Yan'er, listen to what they say, his feet are very good, and the smoke is gone as soon as he runs, and the shortcomings are particularly obvious, he is lazy to do, as if now, they don't have to think about it, this little Yan'er must be sleeping in bed, ignoring any movement.
These three Jiang Yichen sound relatively unfamiliar, they should have never met, and most of them have joined the Tingyu Pavilion in the past two or three years.
Listening to Yuge, it is now on the cusp, and it can be said that all forces on the rivers and lakes are eyeing it.
As a person in the Tingyu Pavilion, he is facing all kinds of dangers all the time, this danger comes from all forces, they may be captured, they may be tortured, and even have to worry about their lives, however, in addition to those survivors of the Stone Mansion back then, the people who were recruited into the Pavilion later can still be willing to never abandon it, it is really puzzling what kind of magic and charm does this Tingyu Pavilion have, can produce such a centripetal force?
This answer, based on these conversations tonight, Jiang Yichen has not yet been able to know.
Among the remaining six people, the man with a pleasant voice like a song is undoubtedly Xi Xia.
The pair of master and servant were Guan Dadao and Zifeng.
The brother and sister are also meat moths and reverse butterflies.
The couples who have not yet returned are wanton and floating shadows.
As for the person who came here this morning, it was Li Zixuan, who Jiang Yichen had a relationship with.
Li Zixuan is not a person who listens to the Rain Pavilion, and he is a disciple of the Shaolin lay family with the meat moth, and he works hard for the Listening Rain Pavilion, which seems to be out of this same relationship.
Li Zixuan rushed back from the Kunlun Realm, and his purpose was twofold.
First, bring back Luo Piaoling's next plan of action.
The second is to understand the current progress of the actions of the people in Tingyu Pavilion in Xijiang County.
When Jiang Yichen understood Li Zixuan's intention this time, he was shocked, but it made him closer to the truth about the theft of the Shaolin Golden Seal.
Although it is to pass the news, what is the difference between listening to the news of the Yuge and going to the soup and the fire?
He didn't think that with the same relationship between the Shaolin lay disciples, it was enough for Li Zixuan to be born and die for Tingyu Pavilion.
He seemed to see a line, a line hidden between Shaolin and Tingyu Pavilion.
The theft of the Shaolin Golden Seal can be true.
Luo Piao's zero piracy can be true.
Listening to the rain pavilion wants to rise and become a foot in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid it is not true.
It's all about covering up the line behind it.
This line is not alone, there are several branch lines accompanying it, Wudang Emei is among them, the Moral Alliance is among them, and I don't know if there are gangs in the Kyushu Jieyi and the Four Seas Alliance, but Jiang Yichen is almost certain that the next target of this line is the Kunlun faction.
With the available information, making such an inference is already Jiang Yichen's limit.
Back to the content of the dialogue between the eight people, Reverse Butterfly, Meat Moth and others went to Xijiang County, and each Shi Shi made a secret visit, intending to find out the details of the gangs in Xijiang County or in Xijiang County, which are not only related to the Gangs of the Four Seas of Kyushu such as the Beacon Tower, the Yiqu Liunian Pavilion, the Cold Moon Temple, the Jewel Pavilion, and the Drunken Red Face, but also the evil sects such as the Tushi Gang and the Netherworld Sect.
Jiang Yichen thought about it carefully, what they did was almost the same as his own.
He infiltrated the Netherworld Sect, mainly for the purpose of learning the Yin Feng Gong, but he was also waiting for an opportunity to spy on the various secrets of the Netherworld Sect.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles is a truth that many people understand, but this style of doing that goes deep into the belly of the enemy is not something that everyone dares to think about.
Jiang Yichen is instructed by the old man to guide his actions, so what about listening to Yuge?
They also listen to the old man's command?
Recalling the scene when Juyuan first saw everyone in Shifu three years ago, and recalling Luo Piaoling's deep eyes, Jiang Yichen already had his own answer.
Jiang Yichen took a deep breath, there was too much information tonight, he obviously couldn't digest it, and he didn't hear that they had an end at the moment, so he had to cheer up again and listen carefully.
Xu is night is too dark and the weather is too cold, this breath made Jiang Yichen's nose itch, and he almost sneezed.
In the end, although the sneeze was pressed back, the elbow hit the wall unconsciously.
Jiang Yichen didn't know how loud the noise he had caused, he only knew that there was a sudden silence below, and he couldn't hear any talking.
Jiang Yichen listened with bated breath, and was ready to go back to the shopkeeper's bedroom in the next moment.
I only heard a broken drink and suddenly exploded, "Who!?" "I can't find the latest chapter of the book I want to read?coughcoughcough, it's not a problem, I recommend a public account, there is a young lady here to help you find the latest chapters, and chat with you!
