Xiao Yang looked at Song Yan'er, who was clearly disgusted with him...

"I was just joking. It's probably because the Beiyang government wants to turn Xiong Batian against them. You know, he's a commander-in-chief guarding the border! Xiong Batian comes from a family of military generals, so it's not easy to turn him against them. That's why they have to resort to underhanded methods!"

Indeed, guarding the borders requires considerable power!

Song Yan'er thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you!"

"Sister, are you really that reluctant to part with me?" Xiao Yang asked with a smile!

Song Yan'er rolled her eyes: "Yeah, I can't bear to part with you. A day apart feels like three autumns. So many days would be like countless springs and autumns. I'm just afraid I'll forget you."

Xiao Yang...

In the end, they decided to go together so they could look after each other!

Fortunately, I was planning to go to the capital soon anyway, so the Fourth Prince has already sent someone to replace Xiao Yang! Xiao Yang can finally relax a bit, instead of constantly worrying about everything in Dongquan City!

After greeting everyone, the two began riding away on horseback!

Song Yan'er's mount is still Black Wind King. Because Black Wind King has been staying in Song Yan'er's space for a long time, Black Wind King is now more imposing than before! Its four hooves are churning and its long mane is flying. Its beautiful posture is like a carrier pigeon that has gone through hardships to cross the sea, or a petrel that is soaring in the storm.

Even the finest Akhal-Teke horses can't compare to Song Yan'er's Black Wind Rider!

Xiao Yang's horse was a warhorse from the military camp. Song Yan'er looked at it and said, "I'll save it for you if we come across a good horse in the future!"

Xiao Yang: "My sister is so good to me!"

Song Yan'er: Is that all?

Because of the tight schedule and heavy workload, the two did not have much conversation and immediately rode away on horseback!

In order to reach Beiyang State as soon as possible, the two traveled almost non-stop and finally arrived at the territory of Beiyang State just as it was getting dark!

Perhaps because it was night, there were few people on the streets and many shops were closed. The two found an inn and decided to stay there for the night and continue their journey tomorrow!

The reason why the two did not go directly to the space was because they were targeted as soon as they arrived in the territory of Beiyang Kingdom!

Song Yan'er and Xiao Yang couldn't believe that they had already found a clue so soon after arriving in Beiyang. However, Song Yan'er thought about her past luck and fell silent.

The two pretended not to see the tail behind them, chatted and laughed until they reached the post station, ate some food and lay down!

"Husband, do you think we'll have any luck tonight? But it's too much of a coincidence. I'm starting to suspect that Xiong Batian has been turned against us!"

The two were being watched as soon as they entered the territory of the Beiyang Kingdom. Song Yan'er didn't believe it was just a coincidence!

Upon hearing Song Yan'er's words, Xiao Yang reached out and hugged her, saying, "I hope not. After all, he has guarded the border for so long. Even if he hasn't made any great contributions, he has certainly put in a lot of hard work. I don't want to believe that he has been turned against us!"

Song Yan'er understood Xiao Yang's feelings and didn't say anything more. The only thing they could say was to find evidence; otherwise, they couldn't speak further.

At midnight, the two opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and were both very excited!

“Boom boom boom!”

Wow, at least he's polite!

Because they were being watched, the two of them slept fully clothed. Upon hearing the knock on the door, Xiao Yang gestured to Song Yan'er, indicating that he would go open the door!

"careful!"

Xiao Yang nodded: "Who is it?"

"Third Young Master, I am Zuo Xiangtian!"

Upon hearing who it was, Xiao Yang quickly opened the door: "Uncle Zuo, how could it be you?"

"I haven't left since the Fourth Prince returned to the capital; I've stayed at the northern border. This was General Xiao's idea, to keep me closer to you! But this time I'm here to rescue Xiong Er; he now calls me Master!"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Zuo Xiangtian had actually accepted that kid in his heart because he followed him around calling him "Master" all day long! He just hadn't had a chance to say it yet!

Zuo Xiangtian had been here for several days, arriving with ten other people. However, he didn't know how those ten people had suddenly disappeared. Even though he was staying at the same inn as them, he hadn't heard a sound from them!

"Not a sound? How could that be?" Song Yan'er was very puzzled. Logically speaking, the ten people who came to rescue people should not be of low martial arts skills. If it were one or two people who disappeared without a sound, that would be acceptable, but there were ten of them at once!

That would be difficult!

"Yes, I'm not a very sound sleeper; I can hear the slightest noise. But that night, there really wasn't a sound at all. It was in an inn not far from here. I felt that this city was a bit strange, so I stayed. I happened to see you at the city gate today, so I came looking for you!"

Zuo Xiangtian is used to fighting, so he can be awakened by the slightest noise. If he says there is no noise, then there probably isn't any noise at all!

Xiao Yang and Song Yan'er were also puzzled. How could they possibly capture ten people without making a sound? They weren't like Song Yan'er, who had a spatial ability!

The two exchanged a glance: "There's definitely something wrong with that inn. Let's go check it out together tomorrow!"

"Okay, you can come directly tomorrow morning. I'm staying at that inn right now, but I'm not a careful person and I haven't noticed anything!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow morning!"

After Zuo Xiangtian left for a while, the two of them lay back down on the bed, but they couldn't fall asleep!

"Husband, what do you think is going on? It all seems so confusing!"

Song Yan'er couldn't understand it!

"I haven't figured it out either, but there might be a secret passage, otherwise I wouldn't be able to understand it! It can't be that there's some other space too!"

Song Yan'er...

No way! Could it be that he/she also traveled through time?!

"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Let's go to the inn tomorrow and see if we can find any clues!"

"Okay, let's go to sleep!"

the next day

The two of them got up very early, ate some breakfast, and then arrived at the inn that Zuo Xiangtian had mentioned!

As soon as he knocked, Zuo Xiangtian opened the door!

"You're here! Come in quickly!"

Once the two entered the room, Zuo Xiangtian closed the door.

"When I came back yesterday, I ran into the innkeeper. He was in a hurry, as if he had to see someone! The innkeeper is also a highly skilled martial artist. I followed him for a while but was shaken off! But judging from the direction he's heading, he probably left the city!"

Song Yan'er: "That's normal. If you want to take someone away from here, how could the shopkeeper possibly leave clean?"

Song Yan'er stood by the window and looked down: Even if they used drugs to knock someone out, they still had to move them away, right? It's impossible that there wasn't a sound at all. What exactly happened?

Could there really be a secret passage?

Even if there is a secret passage, there are ten people in five rooms. Does that mean there is a secret passage in all five rooms?

"No way!" Song Yan'er looked away and glanced around the room. Xiao Yang was already searching everywhere! But after looking around, he hadn't found any secret passage!

The three of them fell silent.
