Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1894 Qingcheng

In the cave, the sound of dripping water was like a death warrant. Unlike the urgent situation on Yang Afu's side, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang's side made very smooth progress, and the group arrived in Qingcheng safely.

The streets of Qingcheng were bustling with people coming and going, and the sound of vendors hawking their wares could be heard everywhere, selling all kinds of things. It was a very lively place, but Wan Shufang felt worried despite the hustle and bustle.

“If something really happened in such a lively and happy place, what would the people do…” The scene of Xingyun Town turned into ruins was still imprinted in her mind and did not fade away for a long time.

Qingcheng was pointed out by Yang Afu and must be extraordinary. Wan Shufang is very worried that Qingcheng will become like this.

As if he could see what she was thinking, Chen Changli reached out and interlocked his fingers with Wan Shufang's: "Shufang, don't think too much. We have already arrived at Qingcheng, and we will protect it no matter what."

"But..." Before Wan Shufang could answer, Amir suddenly stepped in between the two of them, separated their hands, and looked unhappy.

"You two, can you please stop being so affectionate here and find a place to rest first? You must be exhausted from the journey."

"Good good."

Wan Shufang agreed. She felt that she owed Amir this time, so she was always humble to Amir along the way. The group found the largest restaurant in Qingcheng.

In addition to staying in the hotel, the large number of people also makes it easier to get information.

"Shopkeeper, I want two rooms."

Chen Changli took out the silver and placed it on the shopkeeper's table. He noticed that they were not dressed like people from Qingcheng. The shopkeeper smiled and said loudly, "Sir, you are from outside, right?"

"We Qingcheng people are the most hospitable. You are outsiders, so I will give you two rooms at a lower price. By the way, if you want to go out to play, go to the north of the city. There is a very lively market there, and you may be able to buy some treasures."

The shopkeeper gave us a warm welcome and introduced interesting places in Qingcheng with a smile on his face.

"There is also the most famous temple in Qingcheng. It is said that whatever you pray for will come true. You can go and have a look. There are many interesting things in Qingcheng. If you don't know the way, I can let my son take you there."

Talking about the advantages of Qingcheng, Wan Shufang clearly felt the excitement radiating from the shopkeeper. He was really proud of his hometown.

Wan Shufang didn't want to see anything happen to such hospitable, kind-hearted and patriotic people.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. We'll go take a look when we get a chance. However, I have one more thing I want to ask."

"Please feel free to ask me any questions. I will tell you everything I know."

Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, Wan Shufang breathed a sigh of relief and winked at Chen Changli. The man immediately understood and thanked the shopkeeper.

"That's right, shopkeeper. I see that Qingcheng is very lively and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Has Qingcheng always been like this? Has anything strange ever happened?"

They had just arrived in Qingcheng, and if they didn't get the clear information, they would probably be unable to move forward.

Facing Chen Changli's inquiry, the shopkeeper did not put on guard, but just shook his head: "There is nothing strange. Qingcheng has been peaceful and stable for so many years."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper rubbed his eyes and returned the change to Chen Changli: "Come on, sir. I'll take you to your room."

"What's the matter? Just ask me."

"Okay, thank you."

The group followed the shopkeeper upstairs. After the door was closed, Amir stood at the window, observing the streets of Qingcheng, a little anxious: "Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, Qingcheng is here too, what should we do now?"

"Amir, don't worry. We just arrived, so we naturally have to find out the news first."

"I have just sent people out to search secretly, hoping to find some useful clues." Chen Changli echoed, but for some reason, he always felt something was strange.

Qingcheng is too peaceful, so peaceful that it seems as if something will happen in the next second, plunging people into an irretrievable situation.

Throughout the whole day, Chen Changli's men searched secretly but did not find anything suspicious, which made them fall into self-doubt.

"Did I guess wrong? Yang Ahfu's finger wasn't pointing at Qingcheng at all?"

After struggling for so long but with no result, Amir's patience was completely exhausted. She looked at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang with annoyance in her eyes and questioned them.

"We haven't found anything yet, so what should we do next?"

"We can only wait." Chen Changli glanced at her and said calmly, "I always feel that Qingcheng is not that simple. We can't leave now."

"How boring." Amir snorted coldly. He didn't want to stay with Chen Changli anymore. He got up and left the room, planning to check it out on his own.

The door of the room was slammed shut. Wan Shufang's heart trembled. She felt uneasy for no reason. She pursed her lips, but ultimately said nothing.

into the night.

After dinner, they returned to their rooms. Perhaps because they were too tired from traveling for days, they fell asleep not long after lying down.

A good night's sleep.

They slept so soundly that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang didn't even wake up once. Until they heard a loud noise outside, Wan Shufang slowly opened her eyes.

The sunlight came in through the window, and she subconsciously reached out to block it, but the sound outside the door continued.

"Sir, there is still one room here that has not been searched!"

"Kick the door."

As soon as the order to kick the door was given, Wan Shufang woke up Chen Changli, and the group had already broken into the room. Chen Changli protected Wan Shufang behind him.

Fortunately, the two of them did not take off their clothes last night because they were unfamiliar with Qingcheng. When they were exposed in front of everyone, their clothes were still intact, but Chen Changli was still very unhappy and his face turned cold.

"Everyone, I'm afraid it's not a good idea to break into someone else's room so early in the morning."

The other party was wearing official uniforms and was obviously a government soldier, so Chen Changli did not ask who they were.

"Stop talking nonsense and come with us."

Instead of answering, several officers and soldiers came forward and restrained Chen Changli and Wan Shufang. Chen Changli wanted to resist, but when he saw Wan Shufang's disapproving look, he gave up.

They let the soldiers take them away. As soon as they left the room, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang's eyes widened.

The entire restaurant was covered in blood. It was obvious that a tragedy had occurred. The red color everywhere was so stinging that it hurt the eyes. Wan Shufang felt her heart aching as she walked.

"How could this happen?" Wan Shufang murmured, turning to ask the officers and soldiers beside her: "What is going on, why is this happening..."

"Yesterday the restaurant was attacked by thieves. They slaughtered the restaurant with blood and no one was left alive."

At this time, the prefect also walked in from outside. When he saw Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, he was obviously stunned.

"Old Duke, why are you here? Last night the restaurant was raided by thieves and everyone was killed. No one was left alive. How come you appeared at the crime scene and are still safe and sound?"
