The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 340

There is only one shopkeeper.

There are six tenants.

Plus a buddy.

In other words, at this moment, there should be eight people appearing in this room.

But these eight people "disappeared" out of thin air.

Where did they hide?

In the bedroom of the innkeeper, there are walls on the west and north sides, a door on the south side, and a utility room on the west side, separated by a thick wooden wall.

After basically confirming that there are no secret passages between the two solid walls, there is only one possibility left for people to disappear from the room.

underground!

There are three things in the room that cover the ground, and nine out of ten of the entrance to the basement are covered by them.

Dressing table, wardrobe, bed.

The first two were quickly denied by Jiang Yichen.

Although the contact area between the dressing table and wardrobe and the floor is small, it is enough to open a hole for one person to get in.

Of course, both the dressing table and the wardrobe are close to the ground, so it is not difficult for eight people to get into it one after another, but the problem is, who will reset them to cover the secret passage again?

Furthermore, judging from the fact that the dressing table was covered with dust and there was no dust damage, it was obvious that the female shopkeeper seldom tossed about makeup, and the function of this dressing table was just a bedroom decoration, basically no one cared about it.

Although there are not many clothes in the closet, they are not light in quality. It is reasonable to put the secret passage behind, but Jiang Yichen has checked and found that there is no problem with the closet wall.

There is nothing wrong with setting the secret passage under the closet, but for those who enter it to stand below and lift the closet back, it is impossible for those with amazing arms.

In the end, Jiang Yichen still locked his target on that bed.

The bed is a flat bed against the wall.

The distance between the bed surface and the ground is more than two feet, and the side boards of the bed are tightly attached to the ground. Even if you lay down on the ground, it is difficult to see through the gap what is wrong under the bed.

The bedding on the bed is neat.

It can be seen that the shopkeeper should be a person who likes to be tidy, or in other words, she didn't sleep at all from closing time to just now.

The bedding and pillows are stacked against the wall.

This is the same as many people's habits, but it can't be ruled out. Because there is a secret passage under the bed, the bedding and pillows are deliberately pushed to one side.

Jiang Yichen wasn't worried that there would be any hidden weapons under the bed board, but that the bed board was the secret door, and if any noise was made, it would scare the snake away.

Therefore, he had to be cautious and step by step.

He folded the straw mat and mattress, pressed them to one side with the quilt, squatted on the ground, put his head against the edge of the bed, and lifted up a piece of the edge of the bed piece by piece.

Eight people gathered together in the middle of the night, and they would never be blinded in the dark. No matter where they hide, there must be light.

After confirming again and again that it was difficult to see a ray of light under the bed board, Jiang Yichen took the bed board away with confidence.

Then the true face of Lushan under the bed was revealed.

Under the bed is a three-foot-square entrance to a secret passage.

In the secret passage are descending steps.

Despite the tight time, Jiang Yichen restored the bed board, straw mat, and mattress one by one, and then awkwardly lifted the bed board again and slipped in.

He was sure that those people had entered in this way, and he was also sure that as long as his hands moved lightly, there would be no noise.

This move seems to be superfluous, but it is difficult for others to find any traces of his stay here.

This is the rigor that a killer should have. When the whereabouts should not be revealed, it is difficult for others to find even the slightest trace.

As soon as he entered the secret passage, Jiang Yichen discovered that the place was not completely dark.

The light came from the bottom of the secret passage, as if there was a gold-plated gate in front of it, and there was a difference of nearly one foot in height from where he stood, and there were about twenty steps.

In addition, the sound of conversation from below can be vaguely heard.

If you want to come to the bright place below, it is the underground secret room.

Hope not to miss too much.Jiang Yichen thought to himself.

On the way down, I suddenly felt a cool air, with a sense of bleak autumn, coming towards me.

wind?Is this secret room still connected to the outside?

At this time, he had already walked ten steps, so he stopped there and did not go any further.

After all, the voice below is clearly audible.

"This is what we have gained in the past two days. Next, who will talk about it first?"

This voice is restrained and strong, full of energy. Obviously, the person who made the voice has a deep and solid cultivation base.

The meaning of what he said was obvious, they were about to share the results of their actions in the past few days, so as to plan the next step.

From the perspective of time, this person is likely to be the first to speak, and if you continue to listen, you will definitely gain a lot.

Jiang Yichen was overjoyed and listened intently.

"I'll come first."

The person who made the sound was a man, his voice seemed to be full of melody, to put it simply, it was as melodious as singing.

Could this person be Xi Xia?Jiang Yichen muttered to himself.Although he had dealt with a group of people in Juyuan and Shifu three years ago, he didn't have a deep understanding of them. It was not easy to remember their names and appearances, and he couldn't distinguish their voices. At this time, he was just relying on his impressions. to guess.

The man continued: "A few days ago, I followed a friend from the Liunian Pavilion to the Beacon Tower as a guest. We stayed for a few days. Guess who I saw?"

A woman asked cooperatively, "Who?"

With just one sound, Jiang Yichen had recognized the identity of the woman, but he couldn't help frowning.

This was Nidie's voice, but Jiang Yichen had never heard Liandie speak. For twin sisters, would their voices be the same?

The previous question lingered in his mind again, but Jiang Yichen could only temporarily put it aside. For the current situation, it doesn't matter whether it is Liandie or Nidie.

The man said: "Five Jinyi guards and thousands of households."

"Five royal guards with thousands of households?"

"This……"

"hiss!"

"Could it be..."

There were successive sounds of surprise in the secret room.

"This is strange. Didn't the Beacon Tower get close to the Dousiate Gang earlier? The Dousiate Gang and the Jinyiwei were not very easy to deal with. Now the Beacon Tower is because the Dousiate Gang has been too peaceful recently, and they want to be in two boats." , please stabilize?"

This is the voice of another woman, the timbre is a little rougher than Ni Die's, and it sounds like a woman who acts cheerfully and carelessly.

Regarding this woman's identity, Jiang Yichen was more inclined to judge that she was the innkeeper.

She said again: "But I'm even more curious about how you followed Yiqu Liunian Pavilion into the Beacon Tower?"

The man replied: "Hey, have you forgotten what the Yiqu Liunian Pavilion is for?"

The woman said: "What are you doing? Isn't it just singing?"

The man spat: "Bah! Vulgar, it's called literati."

"There are only a dozen or so people in the Yiqu Liunian Pavilion. Everyone is good at rhythm, proficient in one or two musical instruments, and most of them are mediocre in martial arts. Only the owner of the pavilion, Xue Qinghuan, can rank among the masters of the world. These people Literati and poets are indifferent to the affairs of the Jianghu, and choose to attach themselves to the Beacon Tower. For them, they will neither be too ostentatious nor tired of dealing with it. They have a lot of attainments, and it is easy to make friends with them, as long as the safety of the pavilion will not be threatened in the end, and with their easy-going temperament, if they want to use their identities to mix in, they should not refuse."

The speaker talked eloquently, and in a few words, he analyzed the pros and cons clearly.

And Jiang Yichen also recognized the identity of this person, a meat moth.

As for Fang Chang's man, it is undoubtedly Xi Xia.

Xi Xia said: "Right."

Meat Moth said: "Okay, I am more concerned about those five Jinyiwei Qianhu."

Xi Xia said: "Yes, yes, this is the point!"

Jiang Yichen immediately pricked up his ears when he heard the words. He was basically sure that this nest was all people from Tingyu Pavilion. They gathered in Xijiang County, as if they were investigating something.

He was also very interested in the five Jinyiwei Qianhu mentioned at this time, after all, there were not too many people, just five, what a coincidence.

Three years ago, five Jinyiwei Qianhu went to Wudang Mountain to beg for Taiji swordsmanship.

Two months ago, the same five thousand households appeared in Longyuan Gorge and fought side by side with Yinshamen.

Could the five brocade guards in Xi Xia's words be the same five people?

And what's the relationship between them and the beacon building?

　Xue Qinghuan's name comes from the pen name of the author of "Lan Ting Zi Zai Lu".

　　This is a book written by Xianxia. The author has rich experience and the book is very tasteful. If you are interested, you may wish to read it.
