"Cousin? Uncle Tian..." Ouyang Yunyao's pupils suddenly shrank when she looked at those people. She was about to scream, but she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

Chu Chenjing followed her gaze downstairs and paused when his eyes landed on those people: "Yaoyao, is that your cousin and the others?"

"Well, it seems that they didn't receive the message from my cousin telling them not to act rashly, but alas! They still ran over here..." Ouyang Yunyao frowned slightly and sighed softly.

"Didn't your cousin say on the phone that they were already chasing after that gang? They were so eager to save your uncle, I'm afraid they haven't received the message your cousin passed on to them yet."

Chu Chenjing stroked the wood grain of the railing and said slowly, "But they also have brains. They didn't ask questions as soon as they entered the door, but settled down as guests."

Ouyang Yunyao tapped the railing lightly with her small hand, glancing at the shopkeeper who was counting the bills behind the counter downstairs. "Look at the way the shopkeeper is looking at them. Judging from their Western Chu accents, I'm afraid they've been targeted for a long time."

Chu Chenjing thought for a moment and said, "Yaoyao, I don't think so."

"Well! What do you mean?" Ouyang Yunyao looked at him puzzledly.

Chu Chenjing pointed at the people who were having dinner in the lobby of the inn and said:

"Look at the accents of those people. They're from Western Chu. This place is right next to our Western Chu State, and there are quite a few people from Western Chu among the people coming and going. Just listening to their accents wouldn't necessarily arouse suspicion."

He paused, then changed the subject, "But if the shopkeeper really becomes suspicious of them, it would be our opportunity. We could follow the shopkeeper and perhaps find where those people are hiding."

Ouyang Yunyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and her previously frowned brows relaxed a lot. She raised her hand and patted Chu Chenjing on the shoulder, saying mischievously: "Hey, my husband is so smart!"

"Ajing, you're right. Maybe this is a good thing. This way we can keep a close eye on the shopkeeper. Maybe we can find them easily."

Chu Chenjing looked at his lively little princess with eyes full of doting, his lips slightly raised, and he shook his head helplessly.

Ouyang Yunyao said again: "Then I will take out a few surveillance cameras to monitor the invisible ones." As Ouyang Yunyao spoke, she took out some surveillance cameras from the space, some in the shape of mosquitoes and some in the shape of bees.

Finally, he took out a few fixed monitors and asked Chu Chenjing to stick them on top of several pillars on the third floor.

While Chu Chenjing was placing the surveillance camera, Ouyang Yunyao quickly and secretly operated it, and placed a mosquito-shaped surveillance camera silently on the head of the shopkeeper downstairs.

The shopkeeper was also an extraordinary person. At the moment when the small mosquito-shaped monitor fell on his hair, he seemed to realize that something had fallen on his head. He dusted his head and then spoke to those people again.

Seeing this scene, Chu Chenjing frowned and said to Ouyang Yunyao: "Yaoyao, the shopkeeper must be careful, this person's kung fu is not low."

"Well, he looks like a very clever person."

At this moment, the people downstairs seemed to have negotiated with the shopkeeper. Yan Changfeng pulled a silver ingot from his sleeve and placed it on the counter. The shopkeeper weighed the silver and then shouted to the back hall, "Xiao Shuanzi! Quickly take these guests to the upper room on the third floor!"

A young clerk ran out from the back hall and said to the shopkeeper, "Okay! I'll take them upstairs right away."

A waiter turned to the four of them and said, "Dear guests, please follow me."

When Ouyang Yunyao heard the shopkeeper say the third floor, she couldn't help but curl her lips. Oh, the room they booked was actually on the third floor. She looked at Chu Chenjing excitedly and said:

"A Jing, what a coincidence! The room my cousin and his friends booked is on the third floor. So, wait until they enter the room and then we'll go find them."

"Yeah." Chu Chenjing responded, but his eyes swept across the stairs and looked downstairs.

At this time, the shopkeeper was still fiddling with the abacus behind the counter, and the sound of beads colliding reached his ears. Chu Chenjing looked at this scene and made some calculations in his mind.

He already knew that the Longhu Inn had been in Baden City for some time, so it was impossible for Liu Qingxiu to own it. Furthermore, she didn't have the ability to open it in Danyan Country.

Who was behind this? It didn't seem likely that it was the Crown Prince of Danyan, as they were operating in a very secretive manner. He didn't believe the master behind this was the Second Prince, Chu Chenyu. He probably didn't have the energy to set up such an intelligence station.

He frowned deeply and looked at Ouyang Yunyao beside him and said:

"Yaoyao, who is the person behind this inn? I don't think it's Chu Chenyu, and it's even less likely to be Liu Qingxiu."

Ouyang Yunyao tapped the railing lightly with one finger, and then something flashed through her mind, and she immediately said:

"A Jing, could this Longhu Inn be something left behind by Xue Congying? It might actually be in Chu Chenyu's hands now."

Chu Chenjing was reminded by Ouyang Yunyao, and suddenly remembered,

"Yaoyao, you're absolutely right. This place might very well be Xue Congying's territory. He used to hide here. When we caught him, one of his sons ran away. The person behind this might really be Chu Chenyu."

The two of them analyzed it while waiting for them to go upstairs.

At this moment, there was a clear sound of footsteps "dong dong dong" on the stairs. The two of them stopped whispering and looked in the direction of the sound.

Then the figure of the young man appeared at the opposite staircase, and the figures of Yan Changfeng and the other three came up one after another.

The waiter led Yan Changfeng and the other three around the corner and walked deeper into the corridor.

The waiter led the four people to the four rooms on the right. He first stopped at the door of a room and pointed at it and said:

"Sir, this is a room." He pointed to the door, quickly pushed it open, walked in first, lit the oil lamp in the room, and the room instantly lit up.

One person stayed in this room, and then the waiter led the remaining people and arranged them room by room. Yan Changfeng walked into the last room. Before leaving, the waiter said to Yan Changfeng:

"Sir, you guys take a rest first. I'll go downstairs and prepare tea and food." They were in a Di-style room, and the inn provided meals.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the sooner the better!" Yan Changfeng urged. Then he waved his hand and said, "We are starving."

"Sir, please wait a moment, we will be there soon." The waiter explained and turned around and hurriedly left the third floor.

At this moment, Chu Chenjing had been staring at the shopkeeper in the lobby downstairs. He saw that the shopkeeper was still fiddling with the abacus with his head down, and did not make any movements.

Seeing that the young man had left, Chu Chenjing said to Ouyang Yunyao, "Yaoyao, I'll stay here, you go contact them!"
