Before entering Biluo Town, Doctor Hua's expression had been a little strange! Now, after just spending the night in Biluo Town, Bai Yanqing was the only one left in their group!
This matter, no matter how you look at it, is weird! But fortunately, Yunqi and the others arrived in time, so Bai Yanqing was not left alone!
"Where is the Third Highness? Why didn't he come with you?"
After Bai Yanqing calmed down, she realized that Yun Ji was not with Yun Qi. She was curious and asked.
"He's behind! Ziyue's horse and I can run faster! If nothing else happens, he will be able to reach Biluo Town by noon today!"
Yun Qi explained. However, what he didn't say clearly was that he was worried about Bai Yanqing, so he rushed up with all his strength! Two horses were exhausted along the way!
After hearing this, Bai Yanqing's tense nerves relaxed a little. With more people, she felt more at ease.
"The top priority now is to find Cai Xing and the others!"
Bai Yanqing looked at the happy horses munching grass in the stable, and her worry was beyond words!
"According to what you said, Doctor Hua must know something. However, right now, he has disappeared with Cai Xing and the others. This matter... is a bit difficult to handle!"
Yunqi didn't know much about the situation in Biluo Town, and he didn't dare to take action rashly, lest he alert the enemy and cause even greater trouble!
"Miss Bai, are you saying that last night you, Yuan Li and Cai Xing walked out of the room together? Why did you lie alone in the guest room? Did you go back by yourself? Or... someone sent you back
Do you have any impression of these?"
Yuan Ziyue was also worried about his sister. After he heard Bai Yanqing's account, his first reaction was how Bai Yanqing returned to the guest room!
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing shook her head. Indeed, she had no memory at all! Even what happened in the corridor last night, she wondered if it was her dream! But the nail marks on her palms were...
It truly reminded her that what happened last night was not necessarily a dream!
"Bai... girl!"
A weak female voice came, and Bai Yanqing and the others were stunned for an instant! They held their breath and tried hard to find the source of the sound!
"Yuan Ji?! It seems to be Yuan Ji's voice!"
Bai Yanqing was so excited that she wanted to jump up!
"The sound... seems to be coming from behind the stable!"
When Yuan Ziyue heard his sister's voice, his expression was extremely excited! He was keenly aware of the source of the voice!
Bai Yanqing and Yuan Ziyue hurried to the back of the stable, rummaged through a pile of hay for a while, and finally found Yuan Li lying in a mess in the haystack!
"Yuan Li! Why are you here?"
Bai Yanqing excitedly rushed to Yuan Li's side, lifted her upper body up and leaned against him. Then she went up and down again, carefully checking Yuan Li's body. When she saw that there were no wounds on her body, Bai Yanqing was heartbroken.
, then let it go!
"I...why am I here?"
It was obvious to Yuan Li that he still hadn't figured out why he was not in the guest room, but in this pile of fodder!
"Where's Cai Xing? Aren't you with Cai Xing?"
Seeing that Yuan Li was fine, Bai Yanqing hurriedly asked Yuan Li about the whereabouts of Cai Xing!
"Caixing? Caixing...where did she go?"
Something was wrong with Yuan Li's expression. She tried hard to recall what happened before! However, no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't remember what happened before!
"Don't ask, she was overdosed with drugs, and it was hard to regain her consciousness for a while! Let her have a good sleep! Only when she wakes up can she recover!"
Yun Qi walked forward slowly, took a look at Yuan Li's condition, and then spoke without hesitation.
Overdose of drugs?!
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing was stunned! They and their group had just arrived in Biluo Town and had never had any grudges with anyone before. Who could be the person to attack them?
If they were killers from the Star-Moon Kingdom, then why didn't they kill Yuan Li directly? Instead, they drugged her and stuffed her into the pile of licorice?
If it was the Emperor Chen's people, then there was no need for them to do this. They would kill Bai Yanqing directly instead of drugging Yuan Li! Nor would they let Bai Yanqing lie on the bed in the guest room unharmed!
So, who is it that can make Doctor Hua, Ling Yu and Cai Xing disappear at the same time without anyone noticing? And he can drug Yuan Ji! And he doesn’t hurt Bai Yanqing either! No matter how you look at this, it’s weird!
"Then...have I ever been drugged?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Yun Qi helplessly, looking very pitiful.
It's impossible that something happened to everyone and only she, Bai Yanqing, is fine, right?
Yun Qi stepped forward and stared at Bai Yanqing, looking left and right. Bai Yanqing's face turned red as he stared straight at her, and he straightened up slowly.
"Ziyue, you hitch up the carriage and take Yuan Li to sleep for a while."
Yun Qi did not answer Bai Yanqing's words, but instead asked Yuan Ziyue to take Yuan Li to rest.
Now that Yuan Li has been found, Cai Xing and the others should be able to find it soon, right?
Bai Yanqing looked at Yuan Li being dragged away by Yuan Ziyue and thought to herself.
"Let's go!"
Yun Qi took Bai Yanqing's hand and pulled her out.
"Where to go?"
Bai Yanqing was confused, but she still followed Yun Qi.
"Go... for a walk."
Yunqi said vaguely.
Although Bai Yanqing was a little confused, she still followed Yun Qi obediently.
As the saying goes, although a sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. This Biluo Town, although it looks small, has all the basic necessities of life!
Yunqi took Bai Yanqing and walked around from the end of the town to the end of the town, and finally came back again!
Standing in front of the familiar inn, Bai Yanqing was a little confused! Under the sun, the characters "Yingyue Inn" looked particularly eye-catching!
Bai Yanqing and his party checked into this inn yesterday evening! At that time, the sky was already a little dark. A few people were busy going in and did not pay attention to the name of this inn. At this time, the sun was shining and the sky was bright.
, Bai Yanqing just saw clearly the name of this inn.
"Master, I went to inquire. The owner of Yingyue Inn has disappeared a few days ago!"
Yuan Ziyue suddenly appeared, cupped his fists and reported back to Yun Qi.
"What?! He disappeared a few days ago? Then, who was the person we saw yesterday?"
Bai Yanqing's eyes widened in disbelief!
"It's pretty much what I guessed!"
Yun Qi nodded, as if everything was within his expectation!
"If you think about it carefully, last night when you entered the inn, was there anything that made you feel that something was not right? Or... was it something that made you feel uncomfortable when you saw it?"
Yun Qi turned his head, looked at Bai Yanqing, and asked her gently.
Yesterday, what happened that was not quite right?
Bai Yanqing raised her head, stared at the big words "Yingyue Inn" on the plaque, and fell into deep thought... She thought about everything that happened yesterday, from the time she entered Biluo Town, back and forth, for fear that she would miss something.
!
"By the way, I remembered it! Yesterday, there was no such plaque on the top of the door frame! I thought I didn't notice it before, but now I think about it carefully. When I entered the inn, I inadvertently noticed it.
I raised my head and glanced at the door of the inn. It was empty at the time! Plus Doctor Hua kept urging us to go in, so I didn’t take it to heart!"
Bai Yanqing slapped her head suddenly, and suddenly remembered such a thing! At that time, the sky was already a little dark, Bai Yanqing thought that she had missed it, and didn't pay much attention to it. Looking back now, she was sure,
Yesterday, the door was indeed empty! There were no four characters "Yingyue Inn"!
"Well, you're right! I just asked someone about it, and found out that the plaque of Yingyue Inn suddenly cracked half a month ago! The innkeeper thought it was a bad omen, so he had it removed.
! They said they would wait until the new plaque is ready before hanging it up!"
Yun Qi raised his eyes, squinted slightly, stared at the plaque above his head, and spoke slowly.
"There is only one shop that makes plaques in this whole town. I just asked the carpenter of that shop and he said that the plaque for Yingyue Inn was just finished the day before yesterday! However, because the innkeeper disappeared, so that
The plaque has not been taken away yet!”
Yunqi continued.
Bai Yanqing looked at Yun Qi's understanding look, and couldn't help but admire him in her heart! She thought that Yun Qi was dragging her around blindly, but she never thought that he could find out so much
Something is coming!
"Ziyue, go and take down this plaque!"
Yunqi told Yuan Ziyue.
Yuan Ziyue responded quickly, then jumped up and took down the plaque with the four characters "Yingyue Inn" engraved on it!
Yun Qi led Bai Yanqing and walked to Yuan Ziyue. Then he raised his hand and touched the plaque. Then, he raised his hand to show Bai Yanqing: "Look, the paint is not dry yet! Obviously, it was hung in a hurry.
Go up!"
"You haven't touched it before, how can you know so much?"
Bai Yanqing became more and more curious! Yunqi had just arrived in Biluo Town, and his butt was still hot! How could he know so many things?
"This new paint smells very strong!"
Yunqi stretched out the paint-stained finger and put it under Bai Yanqing's nose, letting her smell it. The pungent smell of paint almost made Bai Yanqing faint! She frowned and took a few steps back!
"Also, when we came in this morning, I found that the plaque was hung crookedly!"
Yunqi took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands clean before speaking again.
People who do business have always been particular. Since the shopkeeper is taboo against cracking of plaques, how could he allow the plaque on the door of his inn to hang crookedly?
The plaque of an inn is the image of the inn. If it gives a bad first impression to guests, then who will come to stay in this inn?
Everyone understands such a simple truth!
"Um, wait! I remembered that after we entered the inn, the waiter suddenly took out a handkerchief and started wiping the counter! I thought it was strange at the time! Why did he suddenly wipe the counter in front of us?
It looks special...deliberate! And the rag doesn't look dirty, and even...has a vague, strange fragrance!"
When Bai Yanqing said this, as if she suddenly remembered something, she pulled Yun Qi and ran towards the inn!
Now that I think about it, from the moment they knew they were going to pass through Biluo Town, there were a lot of things that were really weird!
