Chapter 81: A Promising Rising Star

Located on both sides of Parliament Street next to St. James's Park, there are many important departments, including the War Office, the Admiralty Office, the Treasury Department, Scotland Yard, and the Government Office.

Zhou Yu gave up riding a bicycle to get there, and instead chose to take the tram and get off at the nearby Northumberland Boulevard.

Although it was late at night, Capitol Street was brightly lit and there were sentries standing guard in front of every building.

Zhou Yu stood in the shadows and looked left and right, then turned to the back of a building, jumped like an agile spirit monkey, grabbed the window sill on the second floor, kicked with his strength, and jumped to the third floor in an instant, and came to the top of the building in a few blinks of an eye.

Zhou Yu, who successfully climbed to the top of the building, looked at his hands and said to himself: "How do you feel like a cat woman?" Oh no, it's a cat man, but I don't like tight leather clothes, they're too greasy. ”

The building is across the street from the War Department, but in the middle of it is planted several evergreen trees that flourish even in winter.

Zhou Yu took off his belt and hooked the branch bud of a nearby tree, dragged it towards him, and sent his whole person out with the rebound strength of the branch.

With a whoosh, he leaped from one tree to the other into the canopy.

"Huh? Lynn, did you hear anything? ”

A sentry standing guard looked up at the sky inexplicably, but there was nothing but the dark clouds of haze, and only the crescent moon that occasionally showed clouds.

"What's the sound? How I didn't hear it. Another sentry replied.

"This ...... I've heard my grandmother say that on moonless nights, the undead will stick their arms out of another world, they will try to capture the living into the underworld as their own stand-ins, and they will live in this world instead of you. ”

"You...... Don't be scary, those are all old people who say it and lie to the children! I...... I don't believe it! ”

"Oh, you don't believe me? Then look what's in the tree behind you! ”

The sentry was startled by his companion's words, and turned sharply to look at the treetops.

The canopy of the trees swayed gently in the night wind, making a "rustling" sound like stepping on snow, but there was nothing unusual.

"You're ......! Lynn, you dare to lie to me! ”

"Hahahaha~~~ Look at your face Lux, you are really timid ~~"

"Damn!"

“......”

Zhou Yu hid in the canopy of the tree that had just been watched by the sentry and didn't dare to move, but in his heart he greeted all the relatives of the guy who deliberately scared his companions.

After the two guys below finally stopped, Zhou Yu spread away like an ape under the cover of night and hazy fog.

Unnoticed by anyone, he used the trees as a springboard to an unclosed window at the back of the War Office

Zhou Yu swung over the branch with a gentle movement, reaching out to grasp the outer edge of the half-closed window.

Zhou Yu, whose senseless sensitivity had already gone up a step further, observed for a while, and saw that there was no one in the house, so he dodged and sneaked in.

In non-war times, the War Department only kept the staff on duty, and the corridors and rooms were quite quiet, Zhou Yu was like a staff member who had been employed here, and searched from room to room openly, and finally found the Army Archives.

"This is it."

Zhou Yu took out a knife specially sharpened to the point that it was as thin as a cicada's wing, pried the door lock open, and flashed in lightly and quickly.

He closed the heavy curtain by the window, turned on the lamp in the archives, and began to rummage through the files belonging to Williams.

He flipped through the information so quickly that he couldn't describe it at a glance, and in a few moments he saw Williams' information in an archive.

"Huh~ This kid is on a rocket, and he already has the rank of colonel? Coupled with that earldom, a member of the House of Lords, the future is promising. ”

Glancing at the contents of Williams's file, Zhou Yu stretched out his finger and flicked it on it, focusing on remembering several addresses of this political star, and then put it away as it was.

To say Williams Herbert, after returning to London, there was not a day to spare, and every night there were all kinds of drinking parties and socials.

After all, the upper echelons of London are not blind, they can see Williams's rocket-like experience and bright future, and they all want to get in touch with him, and even a few nobles want to sell their daughters.

"Whew~"

Williams, who was half-leaning on the balcony outside the Carlton Club, unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt and fanned it in a not very gentlemanly manner, and then he took a pipe from the inside pocket of the outer formal suit and struck a match to light it.

"Why, even you can't stand a seamless social gathering?"

An abrupt voice came from behind Williams, at first he didn't feel anything, just felt that the voice was slightly familiar, but after a few seconds his face suddenly changed, and he turned sharply.

Because the balcony he was on was four stories high, how could there be someone behind him?

However, when Williams turned around, he saw a familiar face with a smile on his face and his whole body hanging on the outside of the balcony.

Bruce ...... Bruce Week? You...... How did you end up here? ”

Williams was surprised and delighted, he subconsciously glanced at the party behind him, locked the door with his backhand, and dragged Zhou Yu's clothes to try to help the latter roll in from the outside of the balcony.

However, Zhou Yu just touched his toes, and the whole person fell to the ground like a feather.

"Hehe, you look good, you've gained some weight, you're more energetic, and you're more like a nobleman."

Zhou Yu looked Williams up and down, who was wearing a crisp military uniform with three rows of medals on his chest like a nine-square grid.

Williams smiled bitterly: "Don't make fun of me, I'm going to be bored, in fact, it's been a few days since I returned to London, and I wanted to find you as soon as possible, but I really couldn't leave, there were endless balls, drinking parties, and salons every day."

I feel like the whole London aristocracy is crazy, they are crazy about trying to sell their daughters to me, bother them to look in the mirror before selling, and some of the ladies are even the same age as my mother, hell, do they think I'm such an unpicky person? ”

"You may really need an older lady to help you manage the family."

Zhou Yu gave his opinion in a similar way.

"Huh?"

Williams was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was joking.

"Hehe~ Bruce, are you still used to living here? How much do you get paid each week? ”

The smile on Zhou Yu's face when he heard this question gradually disappeared and became solemn.

"Williams, I need your help now, relatively, I can also make your career go higher and further, we need a place that is relatively quiet and undisturbed."

Seeing that Zhou Yu said solemnly, Williams did not hesitate at the moment, looked around and said: "Go to the gardenia suite on the first floor, which is my exclusive rest room, let's go there to talk." ”
