As Chu Qinghe's gaze swept over some of the people in the town, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems the timing is just right."
As soon as the carriage stopped, several clever-looking people surrounded it.
"Miss, would you like to park your carriage? Our carriage shop can provide special services such as parking, feeding the horses, cleaning the carriage, and parking for a day for only ten coins."
"Miss, we're looking for a cheap option; parking will only cost eight coins a day."
"Here, we provide horse parking and feeding, plus a meal, all for just ten coins."
……
As Qu Feiyan and the people from the carriage company drove the carriage to the company, Chu Qinghe's folding fan had been put away at some point, and he casually surveyed his surroundings.
Especially when Chu Qinghe's gaze fell on the entrance of that inn in the distance.
Chu Qinghe chuckled inwardly as he watched the group of people cursing and being turned away by the waiter for being refused entry due to the hotel being full.
Not only Chu Qinghe, but even Shui Mu Yin Ji's gaze swept over the people around the foot of the mountain, a knowing look flashing in her eyes.
After Qu Feiyan had parked the carriage, Chu Qinghe and Shuimu Yinji slowly withdrew their gazes and began to walk up the mountain.
During the climb, since Lin Shiyin had been to Wudang before, she acted as their guide, constantly explaining the surrounding area to them.
As a Taoist holy site in the present-day Ming Dynasty, Wudang, like Shaolin, is divided into Tianjun Peak and Tianzhu Peak.
The Taoist temples on Zhongtianjun Peak are open to pilgrims, and most of the visitors are outer disciples of Wudang. They work during the day to cultivate their character and spend their free time training their bodies. Only when they have accumulated internal energy can they be considered to have formally joined the Wudang sect. It can be said that Wudang has set a threshold for its disciples.
But the true headquarters of Wudang is on Tianzhu Peak.
Over ten thousand disciples gathered on this Tianzhu Peak.
Tianzhu Peak itself is not open to pilgrims.
While climbing the mountain, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "Young Master, now that we've arrived at Wudang, why don't we go directly to Tianzhu Peak instead of wandering around Tianjun Peak?"
In response to Qu Feiyan's words, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Why go up the mountain at this time when we're only making our move tonight, only to arouse suspicion?"
As if sensing Chu Qinghe's unspoken meaning, Qu Feiyan asked with slight doubt, "Young Master, how do you know that Pang Ban and the others will attack the Wudang Sect tonight?"
Not to mention Qu Feiyan, even Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin looked at Chu Qinghe at the same time, as if wondering how Chu Qinghe knew the timing of Pang Ban and others' attack on Wudang.
At this moment, Shui Mu Yin Ji's sweet voice slowly rang out, "Because at the foot of this mountain, many martial artists have gathered, and they are not only disguised as pilgrims, but also as the merchants around here."
Qu Feiyan muttered, "This is at the foot of Wudang Mountain, so it's normal that there are many martial artists here, right?"
In response, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It's normal to have a lot of martial artists, but it's not normal to have so many that even the inns are full."
Qu Feiyan asked, puzzled, "Hmm? Why?"
Seeing Qu Feiyan like this, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "Merchants are profit-driven. They all have certain characteristics. They will do their research beforehand, no matter what they are doing."
"Since you chose to build this inn at the foot of Wudang Mountain, you would naturally build it based on the number of pilgrims staying at Wudang Mountain every day. Over the decades, the number of inns around the foot of the mountain and the number of pilgrims staying there should have maintained a relatively comfortable state. Do you think the rooms in this inn can be fully booked without any reason?"
Having said that, Qu Feiyan suddenly realized, "That's true! It's not a special day, so the number of pilgrims to Wudang should be the same as usual. How could the inns be full?"
At the same time, Chu Qinghe added, "Moreover, many people at the foot of the mountain seemed to be traveling in groups, but they didn't communicate much from beginning to end. Instead, they seemed tense and wary. Unless they had ulterior motives, why would they be so tense at the foot of Wudang Mountain?"
Lin Shiyin suddenly realized, "No wonder you were so sure that Pang Ban and his men would attack Wudang today."
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Let's go! While we still have time, we can take a stroll around Wudang Mountain."
Upon hearing this, the girls also gathered their thoughts and began to admire the scenery on Tianjun Peak.
However, at this time of twilight.
Beside a cliff on Tianjun Peak.
By this time, Chu Qinghe and his group had been staying in this place for nearly half an hour.
At this moment, Chu Qinghe sat on a rock beside the cliff, gazing down and admiring the beautiful scenery under the twilight.
As we enter August, the weather is clear and crisp, and the heat has lessened somewhat.
During the day, although the temperature remained the same, it was also drier.
Sitting beside this cliff, the gentle mountain breeze carries a refreshing feeling, making one feel happy.
Shuimu Yinji stood close to Chu Qinghe, also admiring the beautiful scenery before her.
However, if Dongfang Bubai were here at this moment, he would immediately notice that Chu Qinghe, Xiao Zhao, and Qu Feiyan, after changing their appearances, looked exactly the same as when the six major sects besieged Bright Peak.
As Xiao Zhao gently pressed her small hand on the human skin mask on Lin Shiyin's face, Qu Feiyan yawned and looked at Chu Qinghe, saying, "Young Master, why do we have to change this mask and makeup back to how it looked when we first went to Bright Peak?"
