Chapter 666 Scapegoat

It was dark inside the inn, only a few Changfeng Escorts guarding the door were still lit with two small oil lamps, which could not illuminate such a big inn at all... This is a good thing for Zuo Yang. His "shadow escape technique" played the greatest role.

And those bodyguards had already dozed off by the door, snoring incessantly.

But it is quite difficult to leave the inn without disturbing them, because the bolt on the door of the inn is a little rough, as long as someone moves it, it will definitely make a sound. In addition, even if the bolt is removed and the door is opened From time to time, I will definitely meet these escort masters who are leaning on the side and taking a nap.

Of course, this is so far, Zuo Yang has no idea of ​​escaping here yet.

Otherwise, he would not let Mr. Conch go offline, but would take this opportunity to kill the bodyguards guarding the gate, and then disappear into the vast desert with Mr. Conch,
Now that I have already come here, and I have encountered an adventure mission, there must be a result after all, so I can't come here in vain, right?

Groping slowly in the dark like this, Zuo Yang did not use the "breath-holding secret", because according to his past experience, if an NPC has not reached the level of a "generational master", it is generally impossible to clearly feel the breath, but The highest NPC in Longmen Inn is "Invincible", which is one level lower than the "Grandmaster", so as long as he doesn't make too much noise or is too close, the possibility of being exposed should still be very low.

Zuo Yang didn't follow the stairs to check on the first floor, but quietly approached the rooms where the NPCs lived along the circular corridor on the second floor. He just wanted to eavesdrop through the wall to see if these guys would say something after turning off the lights. Valuable private words, so as to judge your current situation and the purpose of these guys.

Of course, if someone's room had an open door, he wouldn't mind sneaking in to see if he could snag something useful.

The first person came to the door of Zhou Guang, a white-faced scholar. Zuo Yang held his breath and put his ear on the crack of the door to listen. It was very quiet inside, and he could not even hear the sound of breathing. Sleeping is not snoring, even breathing is very light, and now Zuo Yang is separated from him by a door, it is normal that he cannot hear any sound.

After listening for a few minutes, Zuo Yang closed his ears after confirming that no one would speak, and then tiptoed to the door of the room where the escort of the Changfeng Escort was located.

He had noticed before that the bodyguards of the Changfeng Bodyguard Bureau occupied 3 rooms in total.

Xia Biaotou shared a room with the two older bodyguards, and the rest of the people shared the remaining two rooms. However, because there are bodyguards outside to watch the night tonight, the remaining two rooms are actually the same. A few people did not live in.

The situation here is very different from Zhou Guang, a white-faced scholar.

"Hoo-ch! Hoo-ch!"

Zuo Yang had just come to the door, and he didn't need to listen at all, he could already hear the snoring sound like an electric drill coming from inside very clearly, and one after another, each mountain was higher than the other.

The people here are definitely dead asleep, and it is impossible to talk privately, unless they cover these voices by roaring, no one will be able to hear what the other party is saying.

However, this situation only happened in the room shared by the two bodyguards. After walking through these two rooms, we came to the door of the room where Bodyguard Xia was. Although there were still some snoring noises inside, the snoring sound was obviously smaller. Many... Zuo Yang suspects that the people in the Changfeng Escort Bureau are likely to be classified according to the sound of their snoring, and then assign the room, so that the people with the loudest snoring will not affect the rest of the people with the softest snoring. The leader of the dart team will naturally live with the two dart masters who snore less.

So Zuo Yang stayed for a while longer at the door of the room where Chief Xia was, still listening attentively.

And the result is still nothing.

Now only the Tatars and the room of Jin Huaiyu, the shopkeeper of the Longmen Inn, were left. If they could not overhear any useful information from them, Zuo Yang had no choice but to go offline and rest, and waited for tomorrow to adjust accordingly.

And at this time.

"Squeak--!"

An extremely weak voice came from downstairs, and Zuo Yang could probably tell from the direction of the voice that it should be the side room where the inn guys lived on the first floor.

Hearing this voice, Zuo Yang naturally didn't dare to act rashly, but squatted quietly in the darkness to see what would happen next.

Soon.

A thin figure came out of the side room where the inn guys lived, and then tiptoed along the stairs towards the entrance. Even though the person's face could not be seen clearly in the dark, Zuo Yang could still see it just by looking at his figure. I could tell that this person was the skinny guy I had seen before.

After going upstairs, the skinny guy came directly to the door of Zuo Yang and Uncle Conch's room, and put his ear on the door to eavesdrop like Zuo Yang.

He also closed the door when Zuo Yang came out, otherwise the skinny guy must have noticed that he sneaked out now.

After listening like this for a while, he didn't find any movement, so the thin man straightened up, then groped his arms twice with his right hand, found a thin bamboo tube from it, and bent down to follow the path under the door. The gap stretched the bamboo tube in.

"This is……"

Zuo Yang already realized what he was going to do.

really.

After putting the bamboo tube in, the skinny guy put his mouth on the other end of the bamboo tube, and slowly blowing air into it... This is a routine used in costume dramas. The bamboo tube is usually filled with misty smoke. After blowing in, people in the room will soon lose consciousness.

After blowing, the skinny guy put away the bamboo pipe again, and then continued to lie on the door and listen.

After waiting like this for about 5 minutes, this should be the time limit for the smoke to spread and play a role. The thin man made sure that there was still no movement inside, so he straightened up, walked straight to the room where Jin Huaiyu lived, and tapped lightly. The door rang.

"Boom—boom!"

Two light and one heavy, this should be some kind of expected and negotiated signal.

"Squeak--!"

The door opened, and Jin Huaiyu came out from inside.

"Boss, it's done."

The skinny guy squeezed his throat and said.

"Well, go call those people out and discuss the next plan."

Jin Huaiyu nodded and said.

"Got it."

The skinny guy responded, and then turned around and came to the room where Uzhina was. He also knocked on the door twice, and Uzhina quickly walked out of the room.

Then came Zhou Guang, a white-faced scholar, and Xia, the head of the Changfeng Escort Bureau.

The Longmen Inn, which seemed to have fallen asleep, quickly gathered together and sat down at a table downstairs.

And under the commotion, the bodyguards guarding the gate had already woken up.

But they just stood up and didn't show any surprise. Obviously, they also knew the situation of Longmen Inn.

"These guys really belong together!"

Seeing this scene, Zuo Yang's previous baseless guess was instantly proved irrefutable.

After the four of them sat down firmly, Jin Huaiyu straight to the point and said to Zhou Guang, a white-faced scholar: "Zhi'an, we already have a scapegoat at the moment, when will the people from Dongchang come, you have to give us a letter."

"Yes."

Leader Uzhina also looked at the white-faced scholar Zhou Guang and nodded.

"According to my guess, if there are no accidents, they will definitely arrive within two days."

The white-faced scholar knocked on the table with one hand, and said with certainty.

scapegoat?
Zuo Yang thought, obviously the so-called "scapegoat" should refer to him and Mr. Conch.

And the people from Dongchang... Zuo Yang naturally knows what Dongchang is. It is the eunuch organization next to the emperor. It has the same function as "Jinyiwei", and even has more power than "Jinyiwei", but The difference is that the people in Dongchang are all eunuchs.

Combined with the group of old eunuchs I met before... Could it be that these people are targeting them?
However, what happened to "Zhi'an", it should be the real name of the white-faced scholar, and the so-called "Zhou Guang" is just a pseudonym for himself and Mr. Conch?
