"sound?"

I was stunned and immediately listened carefully, but the surroundings were too quiet. Only the breathing of the two of us could be heard in the entire inn. Even though I knew that Pei Yuanhao and Cha Lin were talking about things in the room there, there was no sound when the door was closed.

All that remains is the sound of drizzling rain outside.

What other sounds?

I shook my head and said, "No," and asked him again, "What did you hear?"

“…”

He didn't say anything, but just frowned and seemed to listen intently for a while, then shook his head and said, "Maybe, I heard it wrong."

I suddenly remembered something a few years ago and immediately asked, "What the hell is it?"

He frowned and thought for a while before saying, "I can't explain it clearly, but there seems to be something strange nearby."

"Are you sure?"

"No, not sure, very faint, almost fleeting."

He said, and listened intently for a while, as if he had found nothing, murmured: "Can I hear it wrong?"

I glanced at him and was about to say something. At this time, Susu walked up with a basin of hot water. When she saw me standing in the corridor, she immediately said, "Miss, why have you come out again? She is still dressed so little and will catch a cold."

As soon as she arrived, Chabixing stopped talking, and waved his hand, turned his head and walked towards the other side.

I was urging Su Su to return to the room, but she kept muttering that there was nothing I could do in my heart. I could only take off my shoes and socks and soak my feet. But the water was soaked all over my body and I went to bed very comfortably before she left my room.

I lay on the pillow, thinking about what Chabixing just said - what did he hear?

I just thought of it. When I was passing by Sanjiangkou, Xiao Yusheng seemed to have heard something that night. Although he just said afterwards that he might be too nervous to let us not care, the two of them, both of them heard some sounds here, which should not be an illusion.

But it seemed that the two of them were not sure.

I have never practiced the secret breathing technique of Xishan Academy. Both of them should have practiced well. If there are really any abnormal movements, they should be able to hear them. Why did they hear some clues, but they couldn't even be sure of them.

What exactly is it?

I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out, but I also felt in my heart that there were indeed some problems with the Sanjiang Dam, otherwise there wouldn't be so many clues pointing to this place.

Tomorrow, I must go and have a look.

Thinking of this, listening to the drizzle outside, I slowly closed my eyes.

The next morning, I was woken up by a sound of slapping the door downstairs and talking.

Su Su woke up very early, brought me hot water to serve me to wash, and said with great dissatisfaction: "Who is there to come to the door early in the morning and don't let you sleep well."

I smiled helplessly: "I'm opening the door to do business."

It just so happened that the person was awake and stopped staying in bed. I got up and washed up. I opened the window and saw that the rain finally stopped. There was only some water on the eaves falling down, knocking on the bluestone slabs below, forming a unique and interesting music. However, the weather still did not turn clear, and dark clouds were still covered with dark clouds above my head, indicating that there should be a heavy rain in the next two days.

However, the mountains in the distance were shrouded in the clouds, and the steep outlines were looming in the fog. It was a ready-made landscape painting, very exquisite, and I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

I don’t know where Qinghan has gone now.

Bishan is not far from here, I don’t know if he can see such a scenery there.

After a while, the store came to invite the shop and the breakfast was ready.

Su Su accompanied me downstairs. Breakfast was already set on the table in the lobby. In fact, it was just some fried dough stick buns and porridge soy milk. They were all the most simple delicacies. Of course, there was also the boss's most proud eagle tea.

Pei Yuanhao picked it up and took a sip, and said softly: "I heard from Concubine Ning mention this tea, which is indeed different from ordinary tea."

As he was talking, the boss walked up with a few dishes of side dishes, and put them on the table and smiled and said, "Dear guests are sleeping well?"

Su Su muttered in a low voice: "I woke up my lady early in the morning."

I couldn't stop her and just glared at her. The boss hurriedly said, "It's a sin. Somehow, I haven't visited the door for a long time these days. But a large group of people came this morning and almost slapped the door of my house and said I wanted to stay in the hotel. The shop only has a few rooms, and they are all for the distinguished guests. They can't stand them. After all, they sent them away."

"oh."

We all nodded.

I took a bowl of porridge that Susu had served and wanted to drink. Pei Yuanhao next to me also picked up the chopsticks, but at this moment, Du Yan, who was standing behind me, suddenly asked, "Who are they?"

His voice was cold, and as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone here was stunned for a moment.

When I heard him ask, my heart skipped a beat. I immediately raised my head and Pei Yuanhao also looked up at him.

Du Yan's face was as cold as usual, and he had no expression. He asked again: "Who are the people who came to the morning?"

The boss replied, "I haven't seen it before, I know it's not a local person at first glance."

“New?”

"It must be a newcomer. There are no merchants here who have passed by here recently."

"Are they merchants?"

The boss thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, they are tall and big, and they are so strong, but they don't look like merchants? The merchant's thugs are almost the same."

Pei Yuanhao and I immediately understood why Du Yan asked.

There will be evil when something goes wrong. Recently, everyone has known that Jiangling has gathered heavy troops to come to Xichuan, so there are fewer people coming and going. Of course, we run here because of special circumstances. So who else will come here?

So Pei Yuanhao also asked: "Did they come out of Shu or come from outside?"

The boss was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect him to ask this question. He didn't know how to answer it for a while. But his wife, the owner of the inn, walked over and said, "It must be from outside."

"Oh? How do you see it?"

"The heavy water vapor on your body must have just gotten off the boat."

The boss nodded immediately: "Yes, just like those who went fishing early, they must have come from outside."

I asked, "Where are they going?"

The shop owner thought for a while and said, "They asked me if there were any other inns in the town. I told them that the other inns in the town could not stand the closing, and only ours was still there. They couldn't find a place to live, and they heard some of them saying something-"

He recalled for a moment and murmured, "It seems that he is too lazy to stop talking. Go directly, go wherever he wants, and meet someone."

Pei Yuanhao said: "Where is it? Who is the person?"

"I didn't hear this."

“…”

The boss was asked for a long time by us inexplicably, and at this time he looked at us carefully: "A few distinguished guests, do you have anything else to give?"

Then I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, you go down and do your business."

"Oh." He took his wife back.

Several of us didn't speak for a while. After a while, I said to Du Yan: "Do you think something is wrong?"

Du Yan nodded: "I looked around last night and this morning. There are indeed no people in this town. That group of people - from the store owner, there are a lot of people, which is unusual."

After hearing what he said, my brows frowned.

Although it is not certain that there is really a problem, now it seems that things are indeed unusual.

Since Pei Yuanxiu had sent troops from Jiangling to come to Shu, he should have sent some people to sneak into Shu to inquire about the news here, just like in Dongzhou City back then.

If these people were really sent by him-

I was still thinking that Pei Yuanhao had turned around and gave a few instructions to Wenhu and Wenbao. Wenhu immediately walked out, called a few servants to give orders, and soon left the inn.

I asked him, "You asked them to find those people?"

Pei Yuanhao said: "Although it may not be found, it's okay to check it out."

"If it is-"

"That would be better."

“…”

"I also want to know what he is going to do in Xichuan."

After hearing what he said, I felt even heavier.

In fact, after entering Congyun Temple before, my mood has been a little heavy. I don’t know why. Although many things seem to have been solved, it seems that a little haze has been shrouded in my heart. Now, I heard that such a group of people entered Xichuan, and that haze is even deeper.

I thought about it and said to Du Yan: "You can also have someone look around here, and find one or two people to go back to Bishan, tell Qinghan about this and let him be careful."

Du Yan immediately took the order.

Pei Yuanhao glanced at me: "Bishan? Is Liu Qinghan's territory?"

I nodded.

"I heard that it's still a distance from here. Would you be too careful?"

"Be careful to make the Wannian Ship," my face was a little gloomy: "When Young Han had suffered his losses, I can't fall into two misfortunes in one place."

Especially, the poison on Qinghan's body has not yet been resolved, and this time, he cannot be hurt any more.

When Pei Yuanhao heard me say this, he didn't say anything again.

The breakfast was a bit boring, and everyone was worried about that incident. After a while, Wenhu came back and said that there were no traces of strangers in this town, and those people were probably leaving.

Pei Yuanhao asked: "Have you found out where they went?"
