Volume 1 A Dream in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 2 Picking Stars in the Rain

Xianzhou, closed city, flying crane tower in the north of the city.

The building is nine floors high, and you can see the mighty smoke and waves, and the majestic Beidan River. Since ancient times, it has attracted countless romantic talents to chant poems and paint here to express their feelings.

For Zhao Yu here, she can see the largest Jianghu sect in the north of the city, Yungui Villa.

The power of Yungui Villa is spread all over the closed city for hundreds of miles, and in the seven villages of Xianzhou, Yungui is dominant.

Zhao Yu's mission this time is to assassinate Nanyuntang, the owner of Yungui Mountain Villa, and steal the secret of Yungui's swordsmanship.

At this time, it was Shen Shi, and the sky had already darkened, dark and dreary, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming.

Zhao Yu changed his face, dressed in a simple scholar's clothes, sitting alone in a corner with an excellent line of sight, turning over the book in his hand with a wooden expression, compared with the groups of literati next to him, talking loudly, it seemed a little out of place.

Perhaps her clothes were too shabby, and her expression was too stupid, but no one stepped forward to disturb her, but occasionally a few disdainful and arrogant glances swept over.

She looked at the sky, and it seemed to be darker.

Some have already begun to leave.

With Qiu Chang's help, she had already deployed the guards of Yungui Mountain Villa, the living habits of Nanyun Hall and the hiding place of Yungui Sword Technique in the past two days.

To Zhao Yu's great joy, Nanyuntang is a humble gentleman on the surface, but secretly he is a disciple who is greedy for beauty.

The Star Picking Tower is the private martial arts training place of Nanyun Hall, the owner of Yungui Mountain Villa, and no one is allowed to enter. But the news that Zhao Yu found out was that the Star Picking Building was actually a place where Nanyun Hall kept concubines in captivity.

Every night, he would use the excuse of going to the Star Tower to practice with his concubine.

At three o'clock, a mute girl who served him would bring some food and drink. At that time, it was Zhao Yu's chance to do it.

After a while, the rain poured down. The people in the building have all gone, and Zhao Yu looked at the rain curtain and was slightly distracted.

At this time, a young man in black appeared at the staircase, the oil-paper umbrella in his hand was folded, dripping with water.

He walked slowly towards Zhao Yu, and his voice was extremely respectful: "Miss Min, I'll pick you up and take you back to the inn." ”

Zhao Yu's gaze fell on him, raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down, only then smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, Qiu Chang, you can sit with me for a while." ”

Her smile made a flash of brilliance instantly rise on that stupid face, as brilliant as a meteor.

"Yes." Qiu Chang put the umbrella aside and sat down as he said.

"Are you ready?" Zhao Yu asked casually.

"Ready."

"Hmm." Zhao Yu responded lightly and looked at the calm Yungui Villa.

Qiu Chang lowered his head and looked at the book on the table.

"By the way, Qiu Chang, after this mission, you can go back to the Hou Mansion, you don't have to follow me."

When Qiu Chang heard this, he looked up at her in surprise.

When Zhao Yu saw his expression, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Master Hou promised me a month of freedom, didn't he tell you?" ”

Qiu Chang shook his head and said, "No." ”

Zhao Yu clenched his fists, and his face became gloomy. It was disgusting that the man had promised her, but he still had his people by her side to spy on her.

Qiu Chang's eyes flashed slightly. Hou Ye didn't tell him, but still asked him to continue to protect her in secret.

"Miss Min, let's go back to the inn." Qiu Chang didn't tell her.

Zhao Yu sighed secretly and nodded helplessly. Let's talk about this when the task is completed.

At the beginning of the day, Zhao Yuyi turned into the appearance of the mute girl, masked, dressed in a leather waterproof night suit, and quietly sneaked into Yungui Villa.

In the dining room, the mute girl had just prepared food and drink. Zhao Yu silently sneaked behind her, knocked her unconscious, and clicked her sleeping hole. Then quickly change clothes, put the prepared "Liuling San" into the wine and food, and urge the internal force to make the medicine completely integrated with the wine and food, and then walked towards the Star Picking Tower with the wine and food.

The Jianghu sect is not as heavily guarded as the official mansion, and the Jianghu people believe that they are strong in martial arts, and they disdain the guards of five steps, one post, ten steps, and one sentry, and only send one or two disciples to guard in important places.

There are no guards in the Star Picking Tower, and Nanyun Hall is probably afraid that his true face will be revealed.

There was the sound of rain outside the Star Picking Building, and the building was quiet, Zhao Yu knocked lightly three times on a copper plate on the door. In a moment, the door opened, and an elegant-looking middle-aged man in his fifties took the food box in her hand and closed the door.

Zhao Yu turned around and walked towards the dining room, took the opportunity to flash to a hidden place halfway, quickly took off the clothes outside, revealed his night clothes again, covered his face, and fled to the study.

The study is in the Yun Pavilion. The study has always been the most important place, so it is natural that it is guarded.

There were four guards in the study, two at the door, and one under the window on each side.

Zhao Yu hid in the rockery next to him, took out a porcelain bottle, and released four ink-colored flying insects.

As soon as the four flying insects escaped from the porcelain vase, they flew straight towards the four people.

"Where did the mosquitoes come from?" One of the men muttered, then patted it.

"yes." The other also said suspiciously.

Then there was the sound of the four of them falling to the ground.

Zhao Yu took this opportunity to quickly sneak in and go straight to the dark compartment behind the bookshelf.

When I opened the dark grid, the secret of Yungui's swordsmanship was wrapped in oilcloth, and Zhao Yu cautiously checked it twice before putting it in his sleeve, and then fled to the outside of the village.

As soon as he got out of the villa, Zhao Yu went back to the inn directly.

Qiu Chang hid outside the village to protect her Dharma, and when he saw her come out, he knew that she had succeeded.

Zhao Yu, who returned to the inn, changed his clothes, looked at the oilcloth wrapped in Yungui swordsmanship, and suddenly remembered a sentence that circulated in the rivers and lakes.

Xianzhou Qizhuang, the cloud is big.

Now it seems that this is just the case, then, this Yungui sword technique will not be so clever in the future.

It's just that why would Baili peerless want her to steal this secret of swordsmanship?

Zhao Yu was puzzled. I had to quickly pack my bags and leave this place.

Qiu Chang was waiting for her at the door, and the two of them took advantage of the cover of night and heavy rain to get out of the city as soon as possible.

This is already a place of right and wrong, and in order to avoid trouble, you should not stay for long.

At that time, the two had arrived at Liuke Village, which was 100 miles away from the closed city.
