Now the entire first floor is full of people discussing this matter, and there are also many people like Qin Wenyuan who like to show off.
Therefore, Qin Wenyuan's behavior and words are no different from others, so naturally no one cares about them.
Sishe and Tianji knew in their hearts that they were the thieves last night!
But why is the young master telling them this at this time?
Sishe was puzzled, but his face did not show the slightest abnormality. He asked curiously: "The Temple of Heaven and Earth has been robbed by a thief, is it true?"
"No wonder those officials knocked on the door in the middle of the night and questioned us. So that's what happened!"
Qin Wenyuan continued: "I also heard that the official was very angry and ordered that the thieves must be caught, so in order to prevent the thieves from escaping, the city gates were blocked!"
Hearing these words, both Si Snake and Tian Ji's pupils trembled slightly.
They all knew that Qin Wenyuan told them upstairs that he would leave soon.
But now, Qin Wenyuan told them that the city gate was blocked...
So, is it to tell them that they cannot leave and not to mention leaving to anyone?
To avoid being suspected at this juncture?
The two of them suddenly understood.
Although he was a little surprised by this news, Qin Wenyuan was here, even Tianji felt very at ease.
After all, when he is not an opponent but a teammate, Qin Wenyuan is really reassuring.
Si She continued and asked: "These thieves are so abominable that they actually blocked the city gate. How long will the city gate be blocked? We can't keep it open forever, right?"
Qin Wenyuan said: "I have inside information. It should be opened in three or four days at most. After all, if the city gate is not opened, it will delay a lot of things. Three or four days is the limit."
"And if those thieves can be caught in advance, it may not take three or four days to open."
Three or four days...
So are they going to stay here for three or four days?
Sishe and Tianji looked at each other and understood the message Qin Wenyuan had given them.
Si She said: "These thieves are really abominable. I still have a lot of things to do, but now it seems that I can only hope that the government will catch these thieves as soon as possible!"
Qin Wenyuan nodded and sighed: "Who says otherwise? Why are those thieves so bold? They even dare to steal the Beidou Temple. They are clearly seeking death. Let me see, they will definitely be killed in a few days.
catch!"
Sishe and Tianji didn't know what they felt when they heard Lu Qing complaining about themselves.
Anyway...it's pretty magical.
Sishe saw that people around him were discussing this matter, and many of them, like Qin Wenyuan, showed off to the newcomers, so they were not conspicuous.
He looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Then... from now on, it seems we can only stay here."
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Not only do we need to stay well, we also need to find ways to cooperate with the government to arrest people. If we can catch them in advance, we will be safe, right?"
Sishe frowned slightly.
What do you mean, Master?
Cooperate with the government to arrest people...
Do you want to listen in turn?
It means...let them be careful about the government catching them?
But they didn't show any clues last night, how could they be discovered again later?
Is the young master too cautious?
Or is there something that he didn't expect?
Si She fell into deep thought.
Tianji, on the other hand, didn't know what he thought of. Suddenly he looked at Qin Wenyuan with wide eyes and couldn't help but said: "Will they come?"
When Sishe heard Tianji's words, she suddenly didn't understand what he meant immediately.
However, Qin Wenyuan instantly understood what Tianji meant.
He glanced around him out of the corner of his eye and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He nodded slightly: "No accident, that should be the case."
Tianji's eyes suddenly became stern.
Qin Wenyuan stretched himself and said helplessly: "Well, it seems we can't go anywhere in a short time. In this case, let's go back and take a good nap."
"Maybe when we wake up and those thieves are caught, we can leave."
"We who do business will lose a lot of money if we delay for one day. I just hope that the government can catch those guys as soon as possible."
After saying that, Qin Wenyuan stopped talking to Sishe and the others.
He stood up directly and asked the waiter to write down the account and settle it with the rent when he left.
Then he returned to the second floor.
Sishe and Tianji looked at Qin Wenyuan's back, and Sishe couldn't help but whisper: "Tianji, what riddle are you and the young master playing?"
"Who's coming?"
Tianji's eyes flickered, he was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Beidou Club."
"What?" Sishe almost exclaimed.
Tianji said: "What? Can't you believe it?"
"Qin Wenyuan is indeed scary, but Beichen is no less generous."
"After what happened last night and the fact that the city gate was closed, it can be judged that... this Beidou Temple may have a higher status than other Beidou Temples."
"So what we did last night was exposed, and the news has probably reached Beichen's ears."
"Beichen is so terrifying that even Qin Wenyuan dare not underestimate him. So... what do you think Beichen would think when he heard that this important Beidou Temple had been infiltrated by thieves?"
"Beidou Temple has been standing in Nanzhao for many years, and nothing like this has ever happened."
"But as soon as the alliance army attacked Nanzhao, this happened."
"Do you think Beichen will think too much about it?"
When Sishe heard Tianji's words, her expression became serious.
He frowned slightly and said, "Will Beichen come here in person?"
Tianji shook his head: "I don't know."
"No one in this world can see through Beichen's thoughts, and no one knows who Beichen really is. Maybe Beichen is in this restaurant."
"After all, there are thousands of Beichen puppets, who knows which one is his puppet."
When Sishe heard this, she suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
He couldn't help but look at the others.
Looking at the people who were gossiping and marveling, he couldn't help but feel terrified when he thought that one of them might be Beichen's puppet, watching them coldly.
Tianji put down his chopsticks and stood up.
"Let's go back to the room."
The snake looked at him.
Tianji said: "Qin Wenyuan is right. Now it is the most appropriate way to stay quietly in the room and sleep without caring about anything or asking anything."
"There are 200,000 people in Taihe City. This is not a small number. It will be difficult to find anything in three or four days."
"So, if we persist for these three or four days, when the city gate opens, we will be able to leap like a fish."
"But now, just be a good boy and hope that Beidou will not come in person, otherwise... there may really be big trouble."
After saying that, Tianji also returned to the second floor.
Sishe pursed her lips, and then sighed.
At this time, he did not dare to easily use the hidden spies of the Intelligence Department.
Forget it, since the young master is already prepared, just listen to it yourself.
Anyway, I believe you are right, Master.
Sishe asked the waiter to write down the account and then returned to the room.
Noon.
The sun shines directly down from overhead.
At this time, the soldiers who were guarding the gate suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside.
The soldiers on the city wall quickly followed the call and left.
Then they saw dozens of riders approaching quickly, and in the blink of an eye they were outside the city gate.
"Open the door!"
The leader shouted loudly.
The soldiers on the city wall hurriedly asked: "Who is coming?"
The man heard the sound and raised his head.
At this time, the soldiers suddenly discovered that this man was one-eyed.
One eye was wearing an eyepatch, while the other eye looked as cold as a poisonous snake, which shocked them all.
The one-eyed man curled his lips, took out a token from his arms, and said calmly: "The Great Priest of Beidou Temple is here to investigate the invasion of Beidou Temple thieves. Open the door quickly!"
The soldiers on the city wall quickly looked at the token.
And when they saw clearly what was on the token, their expressions changed slightly.
Sure enough, he is the high priest of Beidou Temple!
Beidou Temple has great influence throughout Nanzhao.
There are hundreds of thousands of believers.
Moreover, a large number of officials in the entire Nanzhao court believed in Beidou Empress.
Even the lord of Taihe City where they were located believed in Beidou Empress, so these soldiers did not dare to offend the people at Beidou Temple.
Otherwise, the lord of Taihe City will cause trouble for them.
The high priest of Beidou Temple is also different from other people in Beidou Temple.
There is a high priest in Beidou Temple. The high priest is regarded as the walker of Beidou Empress in the world. He has a respected status and is regarded as the master of Beidou Temple.
The high priest is the person with the highest power and status under the high priest.
There are only three high priests in Beidou Temple.
His status is comparable to that of Nanzhao's important ministers.
They respect him even more than the lord of Taihe City.
Moreover, it was an honorary official position issued by the Nanzhao court, and he enjoyed all the rights and benefits of officials.
Therefore, after these soldiers recognized this man's identity as the high priest, they did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly said: "Open the city gate!"
They dare not offend the high priest.
Otherwise, they will definitely suffer!
When the one-eyed man saw the city gate open, he put away the token and said: "Let's go!"
After that, he immediately drove his horses and led these people into Taihe City quickly.
Their speed was very fast, their horses' hooves stamped on the ground, with a hint of murderous intent, and they didn't care whether there were people in front of them or not.
When the people saw these horses charging towards them, they were so frightened that they turned forward and backward and hurriedly hid on both sides.
"who?"
"Dare to go on such a rampage, it will be fatal!"
The people rebuked one after another.
But these people ignored the people's scoldings and walked away quickly without even looking at the people.
It didn't take long for him to disappear from the eyes of the people.
"Bah! What the hell!"
"It's really unlucky that this bastard came out of nowhere!"
The people cursed and cursed non-stop.
But those people have disappeared, and they can only live with their mouths.
And this scene was all seen by Qin Wenyuan who was standing in front of the window.
Qin Wenyuan looked at the direction where the dozens of horses disappeared, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Is someone coming from Beidou Club?"
The place where he lives is the main road of Taihe City.
This main road leads directly to the city gate and the city lord's palace, so it is not too far to build the Beidou Temple.
So judging from the direction in which these people came, they most likely came from the city gate.
But the city gate has been closed, so those who can pass through the city gate at this time...Qin Wenyuan feels that they should be people from the Beidou Society.
"It just happened last night and it arrived at noon today."
"This speed is not too slow!"
"And the time is so short, no matter how fast the message is transmitted, the distance is definitely not far in such a short time..."
"Otherwise, they would never have arrived at Taihe City at this time."
"So……"
Qin Wenyuan raised it gently with his fingers, a look of thought flashed in his eyes.
"It's a member of the Beidou Club. He happens to be nearby. He just came over after receiving the news."
"Or... his hiding place is not far from here?"
"Now that the Alliance army is attacking Nanzhao, Beidou will definitely focus most of its attention on the Alliance army. In order to deal with problems that may arise at any time with the Alliance army, they will definitely get together to discuss countermeasures and accept orders at the appropriate time.
Fight the Alliance army."
"This is the most normal and possible thing."
"So, if this is the case, if this person is really a member of the Beidou Society, and sincerity is important, then does it mean that he can arrive here in such a short period of time... the Beidou Society's secret base in Nanzhao,
Is it only one day at most from Taihe City?"
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed.
If that's the case, that would be really interesting.
His most important purpose this time was to collect intelligence.
The second is to see if we can find any clues about the Beidou Society's secret base.
But now, this clue seems to have been placed in front of him.
So, next I just need to determine the identity of the one-eyed man and where he came from, maybe...
Qin Wenyuan let out a breath: "Maybe the Beidou Club will no longer be a secret."
"It seems that it is still unclear whether it is good or bad!"
Qin Wenyuan looked at the road where the one-eyed man and others could no longer be found, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He thought... Beidou Society would never have imagined that he could deduce the distance between these Beidou Society members based on the time they arrived at Taihe City.
Qin Wenyuan's actions around midnight last night.
But now, it's only noon.
There is only a difference of six hours, which is just twelve hours.
In twelve hours, the people from the Beidou Society can go from delivering the message to arriving here.
Then the distance of the entire journey can basically be inferred.
Of course, he felt that it could be more relaxed.
For example, the transmission of Beidou Conference messages is not done manually.
Rather, it is delivered like a homing pigeon.
The Beidou Society has been passed down for more than a thousand years, so it is not difficult to train some homing pigeons.
If it is a homing pigeon, it can ignore the twists and turns of the road, ignore the mountains and rivers, and can directly deliver messages in a straight line.
This is definitely much faster than the speed of the messenger.
Therefore, it is assumed that Qin Wenyuan ignores the time of carrier pigeon delivery.
After assuming that Beidou would receive the news here, he immediately sent people to Taihe City without any hesitation.
So, all things considered, the time these people spent walking on the road was only six hours.
Six hours, including more than two hours of night driving.
