Zhao Yan took Bai Bao out of the guest room and walked around the street, first preparing to figure out the specific owner of the courtyard.

After inquiring without a trace, I learned that the courtyard next door to the restaurant is actually separated by more than a dozen shops on the street, and it is a large yard that has been made by buying several courtyards, and it just so happens that the owner of the courtyard is Mingyue Firm.

Zhao Yan walked along the street, looking at the gilded plaque on the door of Mingyue Firm, and hesitated slightly.

The last time he was in Cangzhou, Yuan Qisheng once said that the man in the night clothes might be a dead soldier trained by a certain family, and he lived in the Mingyue business.

He overlapped the two events, and had a general guess that the man in the night-walking clothes was most likely someone from the Mingyue Firm.

But it was also because of this incident that it was easy for him to spy on intelligence, after all, the name of the Mingyue Merchant was not only powerful in the Northland, but also had a certain amount of power in the entire Great Xia and the surrounding four hou states, if there was no ironclad evidence in hand, the four words of the Mingyue Merchant alone could crush him to death.

However, Zhao Yan still didn't give up his plan in the end, because the other party was a real threat to him, and if he didn't figure out what was going on, it would definitely be a big trouble in the future.

And he is also certain now, and with the help of the dog's tail flower that covers his breath, it is almost impossible for the other party to catch him.

So he made up his mind to explore the troubled waters of the Bright Moon Firm, and after making a decision, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to the back street, and then disappeared to the ground with Bai Bao.

"Don't make a mistake about what my brother said, otherwise our two lives will be ruined", Zhao Yan kept reminding Bai Bao to pay attention in his heart.

Bai Bao waved his tentacles and replied with mental communication: "Don't worry, Bai Bao's tentacles can know what's nearby if they want to know what's nearby, and they won't go wrong." ”

"That's fine, our safety will be guaranteed", Zhao Yan replied softly.

Bai Bao nodded and ran under the soil, and when he reappeared, he appeared inside the Bright Moon Firm.

In the dark, Zhao Yan peeked out of the ground and glanced around, the light in the house was extremely dark, and with the help of the moonlight, he could vaguely see the rows of counters in the store and the distribution of stairs and door openings around it.

At this moment, the Bright Moon Merchant was closed, and there was almost silence except for the occasional appearance of a few small servants patrolling the darkness with lanterns.

Zhao Yan didn't dare to release his perceptual exploration inside the Mingyue Firm, so he could only command Bai Bao to look for the past one by one, but unfortunately, neither the Mingyue Merchant nor the courtyard behind him found a man in night-walking clothes, as if there was a mistake in the previous perception.

After going around and returning to the original point, he couldn't figure out what the problem was, and planned to let Bai Bao walk around the inside and outside of the Mingyue business again to carefully distinguish the situation.

At this time, a team of patrol servants came to the first floor of the store with lanterns from the back door, and Zhao Yan beckoned Bai Bao to sink into the ground to hide and wait for the other party to leave.

Click, click. Footsteps reached above their heads.

"Brother, what did you say was on the second floor? We were asked to patrol all night, and the brothers were tired. ”

"I don't know, I'm just a little steward, how could the chief steward and the chief steward tell me such an important matter? I said don't ink too, the treatment of our firm is good, don't let the people above find out that you are muttering behind your back. ”

Yes...... Call. The questioner yawned: "I just want to sleep, but brother, you're right, don't say less." ”

Click, click. The footsteps faded away and soon disappeared into the shop.

Zhao Yan heard the conversation on the ground clearly, and then he understood why with the strength of the Mingyue Firm, a group of small servants had to keep vigil, it turned out that there was a new treasure in the firm.

Because the second floor was suspended in the air, Bai Bao couldn't use his earth escape skills, so he didn't plan to go to the second floor to check what such an important treasure was in Mingyue Firm, but after Bai Bao turned around in Mingyue Merchant and still didn't find it, he changed his mind and prepared to go up to take a look before leaving.

After dodging a round of patrols under the soil, Zhao Yan immediately appeared from the ground in three steps and stepped on the steps in two steps, he did not use the Qi of Heaven and Earth to assist, but his steps were still extremely brisk, and the movement he emitted was very weak.

Ascending to the second floor of the Bright Moon Firm, a faint candlelight is shining in the night, although it is still dim, but the structure of the second floor is the same as the first floor is an exhibition room, there is no shelter, this flickering yellow candlelight is enough for the patrol team to see everything that is happening on the second floor.

Seeing the current situation, Zhao Yan didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and hurriedly walked around the room on the second floor to observe and find out the important treasures that the patrol guys said.

After walking for a while, there was a sound of footsteps downstairs, Zhao Yan became a little nervous, found a larger booth to hide, waited for the other party to come up and inspect, and had already informed Bai Bao in his heart that Bai Bao would hide at the stairs, so that he could escape in time when he was discovered.

What he was afraid of was not a few patrol boys, but his vigilance after being discovered by the Bright Moon Firm.

The footsteps were nearer, probably seven or eight people walking, and a lantern flickering made the dark shadows shift.

Zhao Yan squatted behind the exhibition stand, and could already see the intersection of the two candles, knowing that the other party had arrived, and it was estimated that the other party would be able to see him if he walked around for a while, so his right hand quietly put it on the hilt of this Zhi sword, ready to attack at any time.

While waiting, the patrol guy walked to Zhao Yan's exhibition stand, the candlelight lantern moved around, dispelling the darkness and revealing a shadow corner, the patrol guy didn't notice that Zhao Yan was not far in front of him, turned around and walked towards the staircase.

Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the other party to come down the stairs.

After a while, Zhao Yan walked out from behind the exhibition stand and continued to observe the treasures stored on the second floor, but he never found the important treasures that Xiao Wu said, but saw something in the upper left corner that caught his attention.

The booth was unremarkable, no different from normal, with a red cushion on the top of the table, and a blue-green orb in the middle, about the size of a little finger, with a touch of mist flowing inside.

When Zhao Yan saw this bead, he remembered the Aoki Motozhu that everyone mentioned during the day.

He also knew that Aoki Yuanzhu was in the east mountain of Yanzhou City at the moment, and all forces were gearing up to get it, how could it appear in the Mingyue business.

So when he thought that this bead was Aoki Motozhu, he immediately smiled self-deprecatingly.

But Zhao Yan was curious, and was still about to take the bead in his hand to take a look, but he didn't expect that as soon as his hand was stretched out, the formation perception immediately came to his mind.
