The next morning, just as the sky was dawn, the inn shopkeeper was awakened by a burst of rapid knocks on the door.
When he arrived at the door and opened the inn gate, he was so scared that he was shut up by the scene in front of him before he could vent his anger.
"Dear soldiers, what's wrong?" The shopkeeper immediately changed into a flattering expression.
The hundreds of people in front of them were wearing armor and holding weapons, and were aggressive.
It's not what he, a little shopkeeper, dares to offend.
The leader of the Right Wu Guard looked at the shopkeeper in front of him with a cold expression.
The other Right Martial Guards behind him had already surrounded the entire inn.
"How many people lived in your place yesterday, and a coffin entered the inn?" said the leader, looking at the shopkeeper.
The inn shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Jun Ye, they have two men and one woman living in, and there is also a coffin." The inn shopkeeper dared not lie.
These people in front of you are obviously not easy to mess with.
Even if the customer gave him more money yesterday, he would not dare to hide this news.
Besides, when they come here, they must have grasped clues.
"Have they ever gone out?" The stern leader looked at the inn and saw no movement.
"No, this gate was opened for all the soldiers just now."
"They should still rest upstairs."
"Oh, the coffin is placed in the backyard, and the young man will take the Jun Ye to see it." The inn shopkeeper and the side general smiled.
The general waved to the soldiers behind him, and everyone pulled out their weapons one after another.
"Go upstairs." said the side general, and first pulled out his weapons and ran towards the inn.
"Hey, Jun Ye, please slow down..."
"Oh, my desk..."
Behind him, the call of the inn shopkeeper came.
The general ignored it and led nearly a hundred people into the inn, and half of them went up to the second floor.
Near the door of a room, listen carefully to the movement inside.
But I didn't hear any sound inside.
There was such a big noise downstairs, if there were really people in the room, I would never have thought that there was no such noise at all now.
I will feel something is wrong.
He kicked the room open, and the soldiers of the Right Martial Guard rushed into the room, but found that there was nothing inside.
When I touched the quilt, there was no temperature at all.
"General, no one!" A soldier ran in and reported.
"General, there is no coffin in the backyard." Another person came to report.
"Mad!" Hearing this, the sword in his hand slashed on the table next to him.
The table split instantly.
All the soldiers accompanying him were shocked by him and no one dared to speak.
"What about the shopkeeper, bring him to me." The side general said angrily.
Zhao Chen ran away and disappeared even with the coffin.
With such a big noise, the inn shopkeeper actually said that they are still there?
Isn't this obviously treating them as fools?
The inn shopkeeper heard the sound of the table being dispersed from the upper floor, and thought that a battle had begun on the upper floor.
I prayed in my heart that I wouldn't beat you too hard.
Otherwise, my inn would be done.
But I knew that before a moment, I was wrapped in a soldier's siege and went upstairs.
What came to my eyes was the angry face of the general.
"Didn't you say they're still in the inn?"
"Where is the person?" He grabbed the inn shopkeeper's neck with one hand and lifted him up.
The inn shopkeeper struggled desperately and said, "June, they didn't leave the inn. Yesterday, the door of the inn was closed by a villain himself. They must be still in the inn."
"The coffin, that coffin must still be in the yard..."
"Ba"
Before the inn shopkeeper finished speaking, he slapped him hard in the face.
"The coffin that was so beaten in the yard has disappeared now, and you are still quibbling with me."
"Come on, the inn has been smashed." The leader who threw the shopkeeper to the ground and said to the soldiers behind him.
"No, Junma..."
"June, I really don't know they are leaving!"
"June, don't smash it again!"
The inn shopkeeper shouted desperately, but he could not stop the soldiers from being like wolves or tigers.
...
"General, we failed. Zhao Chen and the others learned the news from somewhere. When we went, all the people and the coffin were gone."
The general returned to the governor's office in Xingzhou and accused the general of the Right Martial Guard.
The general of the Right Martial Guard just glanced at him and didn't say anything to blame him.
Yesterday, I entered the city with great fanfare just to let Zhao Chen know that they had arrived.
Escape overnight is naturally what it should be.
Otherwise, the one hundred people he arranged to disguise themselves as ordinary people entering the city would be useless?
"It's okay, the person in charge of surveillance has found where they are staying."
"Have people been sent to guard the city gate?" The general of the Right Martial Guard waved his hand, looked calm, and asked again.
"Preserve it, and all coffins that leave the city must be opened to check."
"The inspection of young men and women is even more rigorous, and there must be an official road to leave the city." The side answered.
Now he couldn't understand why the inn shopkeeper said that he had no news at all.
The coffin in the yard suddenly disappeared.
"This is the latest residence of Zhao Chen and his friends, so I'll send someone to stare at them."
"Don't make a fuss like today. With such a big disturbance, you should know who the Xingzhou is where the ban is."
"The next time, don't blame me for attacking you." The general of the Right Martial Guard took out a small note and threw it to the side general, and then explained it expressionlessly.
"Yes!" The side nodded, and a hint of panic flashed across his face.
He was also angry just now.
I just took the shopkeeper's surgery, but I didn't want to be warned by my general.
After taking the small note, I walked back to outside before opening it, and I saw only three words on it: Tingrenxuan.
...
Inside Ting Renxuan, Zhao Chen looked at the old man in front of him and bowed and smiled: "Thank you for your help last night, Zhao Chen is very grateful."
In front of Zhao Chen was an old man.
The skin on the face is full of ravines, and when you grin, you can only see two front teeth.
"What did the Crown Prince say? You are the elder brother of my master. How could I see something happening to the Crown Prince?" The old man and Zhao Chen said with a smile.
