"Customer, do you want to open the hall?"

After hearing the word "Opening the House", the shopkeeper was wearing a black cloth shirt with a pair of collars and scrutinizing Chen Ji up and down behind the counter. Xiao Liu's eyes were circling, and even Xiao Wu, who was lying on the beam of the house, poked out half of his head.

After a while, the shopkeeper slowly said: "Customer, no one will open the Longmen Inn one day. Do you know the rules for opening the hall?"

Chen Ji slapped the dust on his body and said with a smile: "My friend said before that, after the opening of the cauldron, there must be great news. Apart from this, I wonder what other rules are there?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Customer, opening the hall is the biggest rule of my Longmen Inn. Once the hall is opened, someone will run around to tell me, and guests from all directions will flock to you. At that time, it would be fine if you can bring out the huge news. If you can't, it will be damaged along with the reputation of my inn."

Chen Ji said curiously: "What will happen if you can't take it out?"

The shopkeeper stared at Chen Ji for a long time: "Skinning and cramping, hanging on the archway in front of Kucha Street to warn you... But when I open the door of the inn, I pay attention to being kind and making money, so I have to ask the guest officials a few questions in advance."

"Ask."

"The confidential figures in the news are Ning and Jing dynasties, and they are above the second rank? It doesn't count from the second rank."

"have."

"Is it related to the safety of a city?"

"yes."

"Did you experience it yourself?"

Chen Ji finally paused for a moment, hesitated for a few breaths before answering: "Yes."

The shopkeeper's eyes showed a strange look: "Since the guest officer is so sure, then my Longmen Inn will be lively tomorrow. By the way, there is another rule to inform the guest officer in advance."

Chen Ji asked, "What rules?"

The shopkeeper subconsciously stroked the beads on the abacus: "For any guests who have opened the altar in my inn, my inn can provide a secret passage to send the guests and their companions out of Guyuan, so as not to be missed by the powerful for thousands of taels of silver."

Chen Ji's eyes narrowed: "Where is the secret passage?"

The shopkeeper raised his hand and pointed down: "It's in my Longmen Inn."

Chen Ji said carelessly: "Where can you go?"

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "My secret passage has two exits, one leads to Taiyuan Prefecture, the hinterland of Ningchao, and the other leads to Fengshengzhou, Jingchao Xijing Road. I wonder where the guest officials want to go?"

Chen Ji said calmly: "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell the shopkeeper after I've thought about it."

The shopkeeper clasped his fists and said, "Okay, I will prepare good wine and dishes for the guests tomorrow. I wish you a lot of money and a prosperous business in advance!"

"Thank you, shopkeeper," Chen Ji turned around.

Xiao Liu listened to the footsteps and went all the way to the third floor, then hurriedly turned to see the shopkeeper: "What news do you think he is going to sell?"

The shopkeeper thought: "I heard that there was a big disturbance between the border army and the Yulin army tonight, and it may not be related to this matter. The only people in Guyuan City who can be above the second rank are General Hu and the Prince."

Xiao Liu shouted: "What is this guest official? It is said that the entire Shache Street was blocked by the border troops tonight. How did he get the news?"

The shopkeeper had bright eyes: "I said he had crossed Jianglong... He should have just come to Guyuan and walked on the official road. Now you go to ask acquaintances in the border army. Someone must have seen his way. Remember, be sure to ask him the details. If you can't ask, you don't have to come back."

Xiao Liu's eyes lit up: "Is there such a good thing?"

"roll!"

"Okay," Xiao Liu threw away the white rag on his shoulder, took out a straw raincoat from the cabinet behind the counter, put on a straw hat, pressed the brim of the hat, and left the inn under the wind and frost.

...

...

On the third floor of the inn, Chen Ji stood in front of the door of the Tianzi Jia Room and rubbed his cheeks. After his nervous expression relaxed, he quietly pushed the door.

The wooden door did not drop the bolt from inside, and only opened a gap with a light push.

He walked in gently to avoid disturbing Zhang Zheng and others' good dreams.

But when he turned around and closed the door, he saw Zhang Zheng and Zhang Xia sat up from the floor at some point and stared at him straight.

Xiaoman, who was originally sitting on the small stool next to the charcoal basin, had already stood up.

Chen Ji said a little apologetically: "Did I wake you up?"

Zhang Xia held the dark clouds in his arms and said, "We are not asleep yet."

"How can we sleep if you don't come back?" Zhang Zheng came out of the quilt and picked up a red-lacquered food box from the charcoal basin: "You haven't eaten yet, right? I've left you a meal and kept it hot next to the charcoal basin. Xiaoman, give it to your son."

Xiaoman stood up and wiped the Eight Immortals Table and Chair in the house with his sleeves, opened the food box, and quickly placed the plate: roasted mutton with onion, tofu with a pot, and a large bowl of white rice.

Chen Ji was slightly stunned at the food on the table: "Did Brother Zhang keep it for me?"

Zhang Zheng proudly said: "Of course, I guess you have been busy all night and you must have no time to have a meal. I specially told the inn to make it for you."

Xiaoman curled his lips and muttered: "I really know how to take credit, it seems like I have done a huge thing. Even if you don't prepare, I will prepare it..."

Zhang Zheng laughed happily and said, "Don't be unwilling to accept it. This time, man wants to be in front of you, a little girl movie!"

"Brother Zhang is thick and thin, thank you, thank you," Chen Ji sat at the Eight Immortals table and picked up a piece of tofu and stuffed it into his mouth, silently pointing to the next door with chopsticks.

Zhang Xia responded: "The guest next door didn't come back last night and I don't know where he went."

Chen Ji felt relieved.

Zhang Zheng pulled a chair and sat next to him, and asked enthusiastically: "Where are you going tonight? When the other buyers in the inn were anxious to leave when they saw you left 100,000 yuan, they all went to find the news to buy, and they were so happy for the news to give it to him. At first, he sold the news for hundreds of dollars, but later he asked to sell five taels of silver. The buyers were anxious and could only pinch their noses and accept it. But after everyone bought the news from him, they were still confused and didn't know what the news was for."

Chen Ji swallowed the tofu in his mouth and explained: "The person who collected the gold juice should be the spy detectives of Jing Chao. They wanted to use the gold juice to dirt the well water in the city and plan for the siege."

Zhang Zheng looked shocked: "So vicious? Then this Guyuan City..."

Chen Ji nodded: "Don't worry, the border army has killed all those spies."

Zhang Xia was quick-minded, and she stood behind Zhang Zheng and wondered: "I killed them all... Isn't there any survivors? Is there something wrong with the border army?"

Chen Ji looked at her: "I caught a border army that informed Jing Chao's spy. It seems that some people in the border army are bewitching people's hearts and inciting mutiny under the banner of avenging King Jing."

Zhang Xia frowned and said, "Is it Zhou You? He has had the precedent of inciting mutiny before."

Chen Ji shook his head: "I'm not sure..."

Just now, Wuyun stood on the window frame and meowed.

Someone came to the backyard.

Chen Ji's eyes moved, but he didn't rush to get up: As soon as Wuyun called him, he would react. Over time, people would probably see the clues.

He thought for a moment and said to Zhang Zheng: "Brother Zhang, do you have any acquaintances in the Eight Great Hutongs?"

Zhang Zheng was inspired: "Yes, of course there is! Li Xingshou from the Osmanthus Floor, Zhou Jiao from Chunzhilou..."

Xiaoman said contemptuously: "Although I'm not full of colorful things?"

Zhang Zheng retorted: "I said I knew them, but I didn't say that I had been their guest of the curtain or the minister under my skirt. I just invited me to drink and happened to make an appointment there. I got familiar with it after a while..."

Zhang Xia said helplessly: "You two have been arguing all night. Can you stop arguing?"

During the quarrel, Chen Ji saw that no one was paying attention to him anymore, so he silently brought the rice bowl to the window, while picking the rice and looking towards the backyard through the gap.

Under the clear moonlight, Xiao Wu was standing on the slope and limped and led the two people to the stable quietly. Xiao Wu came to the stable and looked around. After confirming that there was no one, he got into the stable.

Chen Ji lowered his head and winked at the dark cloud. The dark clouds penetrated out of the crack in the window and sneaked into the stable along the eaves of the house. The secret passage was the biggest secret of Longmen Inn, and he had to find out.

Guyuan City is now shaking. If Jing Chao enters the city, he must use this secret passage to take Zhang Zheng, Zhang Xia and Xiaoman to leave.

As for the prince, the Chen family, and the Yulin Army, they were not within his plan.

Chen Ji did have a close plan for the prince. This plan has nothing to do with Bailong or the future, but it is crucial... But this does not mean that he is planning to die with the prince in Guyuan.

When this prince dies, Emperor Ning will establish a new prince, and the same goes for him to approach the next one.

But before this, he had to confirm whether this secret passage really existed.

Two hours later, Zhang Xia and others fell asleep, but Chen Ji was still guarding the crack in the window. Xiao Wu never came back. Perhaps he was taking the "smuggler" to the secret passage, or perhaps...

The next moment, the sound of trampling on the thatched grass came from the stable. Xiaowu changed into a black cotton jacket, rubbed his frozen hands, and limped back to the inn with his neck.

The dark clouds quietly squeezed back into the room through the cracks in the window and meowed softly: "It's so cold. The innkeeper led two people into the secret passage under the stable. The secret passage was hidden under the thatch and covered with a wooden board. After the innkeeper entered, a wailing sound came from the secret passage. The wailing sound lasted for a long time. It just broke and there was a smell of blood."

Chen Ji was shocked. There was no secret passage under the stable, it was clearly the slaughterhouse of this black store!

The shopkeeper said that one of the rules for opening the hall is that the inn should provide guests with secret passages to leave Guyuan so that the guests will not be worried about the guests.

Extremely caring.

The customer who was unaware of the inside story followed the clerk into the secret passage, but he didn't know that Longmen Inn was the biggest tyrant and the darkest black shop in Guyuan City.

Over the years, people have said that Longmen Inn can secretly send people to Jingchao. Those smugglers who come here may have been killed and become the white bones under this inn.

Wait, the news that "you can send someone to Jingchao" will not be reported by the inn itself to fish, right? If the smuggler wants to leave, he must have a full house on his body...

This Longmen Inn has made fun of black food and black food!

Wuyun looked up at Chen Ji: "Are you worried?"
