Everyone was shocked when they heard the news. They quickly looked at Hua Zhanchao, who had just returned from inquiring about the news.
Wang Xiaohua asked: "Is it true or not? Are you sure it's the inn where we live?"
Hua Zhanchao said: "This can still be fake."
"When I went out to buy breakfast for you, I heard someone discussing it. I couldn't believe it at the time. After all, the inn was still fine when we left."
"And this is only more than two hours from now."
"So in order to make sure, I secretly returned to the inn myself, and the result..."
"It was really on fire," he said.
"The guest room on the second floor of the inn was almost burned down, but at least it was discovered in time and there were no casualties. The damage to the inn is definitely not low."
Wang Xiaohua and others were very shocked.
"Why did it suddenly catch fire?"
"It was fine when we left!"
"Yeah, it's so late, everyone is sleeping, and no one will light a fire to do anything, right?"
"strangeness!"
Everyone was very puzzled.
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flickered and he asked, "Have you found out the approximate time of the fire?"
Hua Zhanchao nodded: "When I went there, people from the Nanzhao court happened to be there, and then I overheard their words and heard the time."
"They said the time when the fire broke out was probably before Yinshi in the early morning. When the people at the inn discovered it, the fire had already completely burned out. So they are not sure about the specific time, but it was definitely before Yinshi, because when they found out
, just after Yin Shi."
"Before Yinshi?"
Tianji looked at Qin Wenyuan fiercely and said, "Isn't this what we just assumed?"
"Could it be..."
Tianji didn't know what she thought of, and her pupils shrank sharply.
Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath, looked a little more serious, and said: "As expected, they are coming to us."
"What!?"
Everyone was shocked.
Qin Wenyuan said: "Think about it, when we left, although we didn't know the specific time, we were not far from Yinshi."
"Before leaving, I also took a look at the inn. All the windows were dark, indicating that no one had gotten up in the middle of the night."
"Then this fire must have been started in a strange way!"
"Moreover, even if someone wakes up at night and accidentally lights the wax and ignites the fire, he should yell immediately, so that even if the fire breaks out, it will not directly burn the second floor."
"But as a result, Hua Zhanchao also said that the entire second floor was burned down, which shows that this fire definitely started without anyone noticing!"
"Then, the time when the fire started happened to be shortly after we left... With all kinds of coincidences and doubts combined, would you believe it if I say it has nothing to do with us?"
When Wang Xiaohua and others thought about it, it was really like this.
Everything is so coincidental.
It's too unreasonable.
Si She said: "Then who set this fire? What is the purpose?"
"Did they know we had left, or did they think we were there and deliberately set fire to us?"
The two situations show two completely different results.
One way, if they set a fire after they left, it may not be against them.
But if he knew they were there and set fire to them, he was definitely an enemy.
Everyone looked at Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say."
"What we know is that we were exposed, but beyond that, we don't know for sure whether the person who set the fire knew we were still in the inn when the fire started."
"So, there are not enough clues, and it's hard for me to judge."
"But no matter what, this fire is burning towards us. This is by no means a good sign."
He looked like Hua Zhanchao and asked, "Is the city gate open?"
Hua Zhanchao nodded: "It's open."
"Then leave immediately!"
Qin Wenyuan made a decision immediately and said directly: "Let's leave here immediately and go to join the alliance army."
The time is approaching noon.
In a small tea shop in a remote location.
Two middle-aged men with beards were drinking tea.
A man was drinking tea slowly, looking at the dilapidated house opposite from time to time.
The other man, with a face full of confusion, whispered: "Didn't you say you were leaving? Why did you come back secretly? And, when you came back secretly, why didn't you take Sishe with you instead of me?"
The man opposite chuckled.
He put down the tea cup and said calmly: "Why do you want to come back... You have been fighting with me for so long, don't you know me well enough?"
Qin Wenyuan, who left and then returned, said slowly: "You should understand my temperament."
"What I like most is being more serious."
"The thing that attracts me the most is solving puzzles."
"But as a result, we have been in a passive state since we came here, and we encountered so many strange things. But as a result, we don't even know who the other party is, whether it is an enemy or a friend."
"In this case, do you think that with my temperament, I will leave easily?"
"If I just leave like this, then I really won't have the chance to find out. This matter will haunt me forever in the future."
"Therefore, how could I leave without checking anything?"
Qin Wenyuan looked at Tianji, picked up an fennel bean, took a bite, and continued: "As for why I want to take you with me instead of Sishe..."
He smiled and said, "It's very simple."
"This time our opponent is very mysterious and very powerful, so we may be more dangerous than in Longkou City."
"So, in this situation, if I bring a snake, what should I do if I really encounter danger?"
"But what about taking you with me? I don't have to worry."
Tianji's eyes lit up across from him: "You think I'm stronger than Si She and can help you get out of danger, right?"
Qin Wenyuan smiled and shook his head: "Of course not."
"I'm taking you with me just because... once I really encounter danger, I won't feel any psychological burden if I abandon you and run away alone."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tianji: "..."
His eyes widened and he looked at Qin Wenyuan in shock.
It seemed like he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Did Qin Wenyuan take him with him just to abandon him and run away when he is in danger?
Tianji really wants to throw the table!
This is too much.
Qin Wenyuan watched Tianji's expression break down, smiled, and said: "I'm kidding you. Actually, you guessed it right. I really think that in such a dangerous place, you will handle the danger better than Sishe."
."
"After all, you have more experience than Si She."
Tianji looked at Qin Wenyuan expressionlessly.
He felt that Qin Wenyuan was definitely not joking.
The following words are simply deceiving myself out of carelessness.
If he and Qin Wenyuan were not on the same rope now, he would definitely fight Qin Wenyuan for hundreds of rounds.
Tianji took a sip of tea and suppressed his fluctuating emotions.
He looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Since you haven't decided to leave, why do you want to leave and come back?"
Qin Wenyuan gently turned the tea cup with his fingers and said calmly: "This is even simpler."
"Obviously, there is a force that is secretly pushing us and wants us to leave!"
"And we currently don't know who this force is."
…………
"Therefore, if this is the case, then we can only pretend to leave and make them feel relieved."
"In this case, when we come back, we won't be monitored like before."
"From light to dark, we can do some things we want to do."
Tianji thought for a while, although she didn't want to agree with this bad guy.
But he still nodded.
Because he also felt that this was the best way.
To investigate clearly, they must not be monitored again.
"Then what do you want to do next?"
Qin Wenyuan said leisurely: "Here, wait for you to enter the urn."
"What?"
Qin Wenyuan said: "This unknown force must know where we are hiding. They burned the inn after we left it."
"Now, what will they do after we leave here?"
"I think they must have arrangements, so we can just wait here."
Tianji heard Qin Wenyuan's words, thought about it, and nodded.
He still fully recognized Qin Wenyuan's ability.
Although Qin Wenyuan is very annoying, Qin Wenyuan's intelligence is really powerful.
The speculations he made can basically be realized.
In this case, I have no choice but to wait here.
Tianji drank tea and ate fennel beans.
At this time, a group of guards suddenly rushed here.
They directly surrounded the dilapidated house in front of them.
And that house was where Qin Wenyuan and others hid last night.
"coming!"
Tianji narrowed his eyes.
Qin Wenyuan picked up a fennel bean and looked at the guard calmly while eating it.
After the guards surrounded the house, a beggar pointed at the house and seemed to be saying something.
After hearing this, the captain of the guard ordered people to attack.
They are very careful and their movements are very sharp.
However, after they broke into the house, they retreated not long after.
The leader of the guard kicked the beggar to the ground.
He seemed to be cursing something at the beggar.
After cursing for a while, these guards left cursing.
Tianji said: "It's just as you expected. If we leave later, we might be in trouble."
"But how was this place exposed?"
"Even Nanzhao officials know about it."
Qin Wenyuan smiled: "It's normal for someone to tip off the news."
He stood up directly, put down his money, and said, "Let's go see that beggar."
With that said, Qin Wenyuan and Tianji came to the beggar who had just been beaten.
The beggar was a little frightened after being beaten, and was currently huddled in the corner.
Hearing the sound of footsteps at this time, he thought the guards were back again, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly cowered up.
"Want money?"
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a voice.
The beggar raised his head and realized that the people in front of him were two strange middle-aged men, not the guards.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
But he still looked at Qin Wenyuan and the two of them warily and said, "What do you mean?"
Qin Wenyuan said leisurely: "I am a very nosy person, and I also like to inquire about other people's secrets."
"I was drinking tea across the street just now and saw you being beaten by these guards."
"So I'm curious."
"If you can satisfy my curiosity, I will give you the money."
With that said, Qin Wenyuan took out a money bag.
After shaking it slightly, the money inside collided directly, making a crisp sound.
The beggar's eyes lit up when he saw it.
He hurriedly said: "What do you want to know? Just ask."
Qin Wenyuan gently tossed the money bag and said: "Those guards, why do they want to beat you, a beggar?"
The beggar rolled his eyes.
Qin Wenyuan said slowly: "I am writing a book and need a lot of people and a lot of things, so I have met a lot of people. The more people I come into contact with, the more I have developed some skills in recognizing people."
"I can tell at a glance whether a person is lying."
"If you don't want the money, then you can just make it up and see if I can see through it."
When Qin Wenyuan said this, he stared at the beggar calmly.
The beggar just took one look and felt as if the deepest secret in his heart had been seen through.
He was shocked and quickly looked away.
He thought for a while and said: "It's nothing. I just found some weird people in this house before, so I informed the government, and the government sent someone."
"But in the end, the government found nothing."
"They thought I was bluffing them, so they got angry and beat me."
Qin Wenyuan said: "The government is so idle? You said that someone is weird, and the government will follow you? I can't agree with this reason."
The beggar's heart tightened as he recalled the look in his eyes that saw everything just now.
He hesitated for a moment and then said: "That's it, wasn't there a flood in the inn yesterday? I was nearby there at the time. I found that before the flood in the inn, some people secretly left the inn and went to this place.
It happened that the government officials were investigating the house, so I was thinking of asking for some reward money, so I said I knew who the person who set the house on fire was."
"But who knows, those people have left at some point, and the house here is already empty."
Upon hearing the beggar's words, Qin Wenyuan and Tianji looked at each other directly.
The two have been fighting for a long time and have developed a tacit understanding that does not require words.
Just by looking at each other, we can understand each other's thoughts.
It was obvious that the two of them had the same thoughts at this moment.
That's... don't believe it!
This beggar is lying.
They had just observed carefully that this beggar was definitely not capable of martial arts.
He is just a very ordinary beggar.
How could an ordinary beggar avoid being tracked by professionals like Qin Wenyuan?
You know, the distance from the inn to here is not that close.
More importantly, last night they were worried about being followed, so they were sneaking very carefully.
If this beggar really followed them, there was no way they wouldn't have discovered it.
Therefore, at this point, it can be seen that this beggar is lying!
