"Sir, this is a guest's privacy, I..." The innkeeper was about to refuse He Liufeng when a silver ingot landed heavily on the counter in front of him.
The shopkeeper immediately beamed with joy and accepted the money. "Sir, you might as well describe them in more detail. For example, do they have any obvious characteristics? The people who come to our shop are a mixed bag. If you don't describe them in detail, it might really be difficult to find them."
“Three or four people, or more, including a man and a woman who were extremely good-looking. The man was about eighteen or nineteen years old and had amber eyes.”
“Four people did come today. One of the men is similar to your description. He was holding a woman in his arms, but the woman was wearing a veil, so his face was not visible. They asked for two superior rooms and haven’t left yet.”
Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in He Liufeng's eyes. "Which room?"
"This." Before the shopkeeper could hesitate, He Liufeng threw out another silver ingot.
"Room No. 1 and Room No. 3, the first and third rooms on the right on the second floor." The innkeeper had never seen such a generous guest before. He accepted two ingots of silver and could hardly contain his smile.
He Liufeng nodded and quickly headed up to the second floor. The clues left by Qu Qingxi ended here. This was an inn, and they would most likely rest here.
The shopkeeper just mentioned a man with amber eyes, which must be Cang Yuan. As for the veiled woman in his arms, she must be Qu Qingxi.
As soon as He Liufeng went up to the second floor, he saw a man in blue clothes come out of room number one and walk towards room number three.
In just a moment, He Liufeng was certain that the person from before was Cang Yuan.
He Liufeng had disguised himself, so Cangyuan didn't notice him immediately, assuming he was just a guest going to another room and didn't pay much attention.
For some reason, he felt uneasy today, so he wanted to go and see if Qu Qingxi was resting.
Reaching the door, Cang Yuan gently pushed it open and subconsciously looked towards the bed. He saw the person on the bed lying on their side, facing inward, seemingly fast asleep.
A relieved smile appeared on Cang Yuan's face. Fortunately, Qu Qingxi didn't cause any trouble, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do with her.
Having confirmed that Qu Qingxi was still there, Cang Yuan looked towards the soft couch, but saw no one there.
Cang Yuan's expression changed. Where did Xiao He go? Didn't he tell her that she had to stay here and guard Qu Qingxi?
Xiaohe was always afraid of him and would never leave on her own. So, thinking of this, Cangyuan ran towards the bed and was about to lift the blanket when a cold wind suddenly came from behind him.
Cang Yuan quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the attacker's attack.
"Who are you?" Cang Yuan frowned as he looked at the person in front of him.
He Liufeng didn't speak, but attacked Cangyuan directly with fierce moves. Cangyuan retreated slightly and had no choice but to take the hit.
After just two moves, He Liufeng suddenly realized that Cang Yuan's moves were very similar to those of the mysterious person from that night. At that time, they were not in a good mood because of Gu Liangsheng's matter, and they had just left Gu Liangsheng's courtyard when they noticed that someone was following them.
He fought with that mysterious man, and although the man escaped, He Liufeng remembered the man's moves.
"Cang Yuan, how dare you!" He Liufeng narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.
"He Liufeng? So it's you." As soon as He Liufeng spoke, Cangyuan immediately recognized his voice.
He was surprised. How did He Liufeng find this place? He only decided which direction to go when he reached the intersection. He couldn't possibly know so accurately unless someone left him some clues.
Taking advantage of Cang Yuan's moment of surprise, He Liufeng struck Cang Yuan in the chest with a palm. Cang Yuan was unable to dodge in time and took the blow head-on. He staggered back two steps, clutching his chest.
He Liufeng turned around and looked at the person on the bed. As soon as he lifted the quilt, he found that the person on the bed was not Qu Qingxi at all. Although the clothes and hairpins on this person's head were very similar to Qu Qingxi's, the figure was completely different.
Seeing that the person in front of him was neither Qu Qingxi nor He Liufeng, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He had arrived too late.
At the same time, Cang Yuan also discovered that the person on the bed was not Qu Qingxi at all, but Xiao He.
She actually escaped, but she still had muscle relaxant in her body. How did she manage to escape from Xiao He's grasp? That's simply impossible.
Seeing Cang Yuan's pale face, He Liufeng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Qu Qingxi left, he would have a chance to find her.
Qu Qingxi left, and Cang Yuan flew into a rage. He lowered the hand that was covering his chest, then his sleeve twitched slightly, a flash of silver light appeared, and four silver needles immediately shot towards He Liufeng.
He Liufeng tossed his cloak aside, and all the silver needles fell to the ground. Now, He Liufeng was even more certain that Cang Yuan was the person from that night.
Knowing that Qu Qingxi was alright, He Liufeng felt much relieved. He immediately drew the sword from his waist, its tip pointing directly at Cangyuan.
Cang Yuan glanced at He Liufeng indifferently. He Liufeng was full of murderous aura, and Cang Yuan also felt the urge to compete with He Liufeng.
Since Qu Qingxi has already left and I can't find her, and He Liufeng won't be able to find her anytime soon either, then I'll let him see whether He Liufeng is more capable or I am.
Two strangers instantly reached a tacit understanding.
He Liufeng was highly skilled in martial arts, and Cang Yuan was also quite skilled. The two of them used almost all their strength in their fight, and the room was instantly thrown into chaos.
Tables and chairs flew through the air, and teapots and teacups were already shattered on the ground. Soon, the tables and chairs were all broken into pieces and scattered all over the floor, leaving the room in a complete mess.
With such a commotion, Xiaohe finally opened her eyes groggily. When she saw that she was lying in bed, she knew something bad had happened.
Before she could recall what had just happened, she noticed the commotion behind her.
Xiaohe suddenly turned around and saw Cangyuan fighting with a man, and the room was in complete chaos.
Xiaohe was about to go up and help when she suddenly realized that the color of her clothes seemed wrong. When did she end up wearing Miss Qu's clothes?
Xiaohe finally remembered that it was Miss Qu who said her legs were suddenly a little uncomfortable, which was why she came over. But she didn't expect Miss Qu to suddenly attack her and drug her.
But didn't the young master give Miss Qu a muscle-relaxing powder before? She didn't see the young master give Miss Qu an antidote, so why can Miss Qu suddenly move again, and why is she so agile?
The battle raged fiercely on one side, and Cangzhu and Lingmu Qingdai charged forward almost simultaneously.
