There is a well-known folk proverb in Qidu:

East Palace and West Sword, South Thunder and North Words.

It is used to refer to the landmark buildings located in the four directions of Qidu.

The Imperial Palace is located in the east, the Leimen Guards Mansion is located in the south, and the Jianghu Yanjia Mansion is located in the north.

As for the only "sword" that dares to be on the same level as the imperial palace, it refers to Yujian Villa, which has an important position in both the rivers and lakes and the court.

Yujian Villa has a history of nearly a hundred years - Daqi, who has only been 26 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, can only be regarded as a young man compared with it.As early as the Ji family ruled in the previous Zhou Dynasty, it had already become the most important weapons factory in the whole country.The founder explored a unique method of mining and casting swords a hundred years ago, and has been improving for a hundred years, making the weapons produced by the village beautiful, light, sharp, and durable, and has become the first choice for the royal family to purchase military weapons. No other choice.While gaining the reliance of the imperial court, he recruited martial arts masters to develop a group of disciples with superb martial arts skills. Because of his wealth and extraordinary martial arts skills, he quickly occupied a place in the arena.

On November 26th, the [-]th year of Daqi.

Qidu West, Yujian Villa.

The lights in several courtyards near the gate of the house had already been turned off. When you walk in and listen carefully, you can still hear the slight snoring of young disciples falling asleep in the air.The gatekeeper yawned, looked at the moon in the sky, blew out the lantern in his hand, went back to the small room by the door, and fell asleep.There is only one weak lamp left in the house, and the two lanterns hanging on the top of the door, unreally reflecting the mahogany relief door and the dark gilt plaque.

In the quiet night, a black figure flashed swiftly like the wind, flew up to the eaves of the gate of the villa in a moment, and landed quietly again.

That person was Shen Qiaohuan who left without saying goodbye.

A few days ago, she thought about the letter sent by Chen Xian, which mentioned the business relationship between Leimen and Yujian Villa, but it was only mentioned briefly, which made her feel that there was something hidden in it.Contacting Lei Ming and the man in Tsing Yi that day, she deduced that there must be another level of cooperation between Lei Men and Yujian Villa.Since Chen Xian was hiding it from her, it would be futile for her to ask, so she simply came to explore the villa at night and search the owner's study, maybe she would gain something.

Her original plan was that even though she knew nothing about the internal structure of Yujian Villa, let alone where the rooms where the important materials were stored, but under the cover of the night, she searched from room to room and found the correct one. The room was only a matter of time; even if she couldn't find it, at worst she would come back tomorrow night.

What she didn't expect was that the courtyard of Yujian Villa was so huge.There are many houses with the same appearance, and their arrangement is chaotic like a maze-with no sense of direction, she has walked back to the same place four times in a row.

She was armed so professionally, how could she be willing to return without success?

Afterwards, the battle plan was changed from the conservative to the unrestrained - as long as you see the unlit room through the window, you can directly open the door and enter.

Push away the first room—the snoring is loud.He entered a certain disciple's dormitory by mistake, so he closed the door and left.

Push away the second room - it stinks.He strayed into a laundry room full of disciples in Bairi Zhuang who changed their clothes after practicing, and then covered his nose and came out.

Push open the third room.

The room was strangely empty.It's just that there is a wooden screen in a certain corner, and there is an extremely subtle light shining through the gap.Shen Qiao was overjoyed, she took her breath away and approached the screen quietly, then poked her body outside the screen and poked her head in——

she saw-

A woman's snow-white back.

Soak in a big wooden tub.

In the small space, there seems to be a faint fragrance of flower petals in the air.

The woman turned slightly, so Shen Qiaohuan could easily see an important part of her chest.

After realizing where she is now and what she has done, the first thought of a man in black who looks like a young girl with no lower limit in her heart——

There is no word on the chest, and a bad review.

second thought-

Why does she keep peeping at other women taking a shower?

THIRD THOUGHT--

See no evil, run away quickly!

The idea of ​​escaping came too late, and her breath was disturbed when she was in a trance, which was immediately noticed by the woman, and with a deep roar of "He Fang Xiaoxiao?", the water droplets wrapped in internal energy and flew towards her.

Anger is anger, but not full of killing intent.Shen Qiaohuan dodged lightly, and the water droplets fell to the ground, making countless small holes in the wooden floor.

At this moment, there must not be too much noise, otherwise there are hundreds of people in the villa, all of whom are skilled in martial arts. If they wake them up, it will be difficult for me to fly even with wings.Although this woman was a bit fierce, she seemed to be quite kind-hearted, and she didn't yell to attract others.Moreover, this woman's eyebrows and eyes are very heroic, and her face is short of saying "I am a decent person and don't kill innocent people indiscriminately". It should be easier to control.

Shen Qiaohuan didn't panic, she quickly tore off the clothes on the screen and threw it at the woman, saying: "Don't worry, girl, I'm a woman."

While Shen Qiaohuan was looking at Xue Han, Xue Han was also looking at her.

In front of me is indeed a clever little girl with delicate features, the slightly sunken eye sockets make her whole facial features look more three-dimensional.He wasn't in a hurry when he was discovered, he didn't look like someone with a conspiracy in mind.

However, she, Xue Han, is the oldest senior sister of Yujian Villa's generation after all, so she must not take it lightly when facing trespassers.

Xue Han was already dressed neatly, and his heroic sword eyebrows were slightly frowned and looked at the other party, with suspicion in his eyes undiminished:

"Who are you? What's your plan for breaking into the villa at night?"

Of course, you can't tell the truth that you are here to steal information.

While the other party was getting dressed, Shen Qiaohuan had already come up with a set of arguments in her mind that were both reasonable and capable of deceiving sympathy.She gritted her teeth, pinched her thigh in secret, and immediately burst into tears from the pain:

"It's a shame to say... My name is Shen Huan Qiao Huan. I'm just twenty-eight years old. I was originally the daughter of a horse official in the mansion of the son-in-law of the brother-in-law's aunt who was the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Harmony. I don’t want that Shangshu’s family to be ransacked suddenly, even punishing the nine clans. My family will be implicated. My father lost his position, and no one is willing to help us. Evil thoughts about money. I don't want to be discovered by the girl... Qiao Huan has already made a mistake, so I hope the girl will keep quiet—I heard from others that the prison is dark, smelly and scary..."

It is true that Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was punished by the Nine Clans, but she made up her life experience in order to prevent the other party from checking...

I can only bet that this woman will be moved by her sincere tears.

I don't want Xue Han to be [-]% convinced.She looked at Shen Qiaohuan's delicate skin and tender flesh, who had some kung fu, unlike the appearance of a difficult family since she was a child. If she was originally a little rich as she said, but only recently suffered a catastrophe and her family fell into poverty, it would be reasonable.In addition, Xue Han was originally a girl from a poor family in a small fishing village, so she naturally sympathized with girls who had similar experiences to her.

Seeing that the woman didn't show anything, Shen Qiao Huan was ready to use her trump card: "If the girl doesn't want to, Qiao Huan can only kneel..."

Unexpectedly, the other party quickly approached and held her hands, with sharp eyebrows and eyes with a little tenderness: "Miss Shen, please rise. I, Xue Han, have been in poverty since I was a child, and I can empathize with what happened to the girl. If you don't dislike it, you can call me Han Sister. I still have a little savings, which can be given to my sister to tide over the difficulties. Don’t take the risk again and do such unrighteous things. You can come with me.”

Xue Han took two steps towards the door, but the people behind him did not move.She felt strange and looked back: "Why... eh?"

The drug has been taken.

"Wait...wait...I will take care...to pack..."

For those who are fascinated by the special drug, no matter how fierce the tone is, they can only swallow it in their throats.

The pitiful and kind Xue Han, the master sister with the strongest martial arts in the entire villa, passed out just so unbelievably.

I'm sorry, this kind "Sister Han".Shen Qiaohuan felt a little guilty, moved the person to the back of the screen against the wall, and carefully walked out of the room.

The house on the left is strangely tight.There are no windows in all directions, and there are people guarding the four corners.

It seems to be a very important ceremony.Intuition told her that this time, she should have found the right one.

Shen Qiaohuan hid herself in the bushes, and took advantage of a guard's yawning gap to strike a knife, and the guard passed out before he could even hum.

Shen Qiaohuan hurriedly supported him, keeping him standing and leaning against the wall.

Where he was guarding just now, there was a small hole more than a foot in the corner of the wall!

Drilling in, there is a gauze screen in front of you.The room is brightly lit, and through the screen you can easily see that the front of the room is full of people standing or sitting.

In the entire Yujian Villa, only one room was brightly lit.

That was originally the owner's study room, which was temporarily used as an emergency meeting room.

Even though it was midnight, the high-rises in this room did not show any sleepiness on their faces.Some have solemn faces, some are anxious, and others are restless and full of indignation.

And Xiao Rong, the nominal owner of Yujian Villa, was pacing up and down in this temporary conference room at this time, sweating from his smooth forehead, and he couldn't finish wiping it off.

For a long time, he, the nominal owner, has been in a situation where both sides are thankless.In fact, due to the fact that the imperial court and the Jianghu have always been in a state of confrontation with each other, Yujian Villa seems to be both in the position of being light-hearted, but in fact it is only difficult to maintain a delicate and fragile balance.

But now, due to the accidental death of a certain disciple in the village, this fierce conflict has finally come to the fore.The high-level officials in the village occupied both sides and refused to let anyone else. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him, trying to force him to make a decision.

He had already quietly ordered someone to go to the palace to call that master over—it wasn't that he was partial to the court, but that going against the court would only lead to death.Since ancient times, the king has only one thought: If a good thing cannot be fully used by me, I would rather destroy it completely.In order not to let Yujian Villa's century-old foundation be destroyed in his hands, the only thing he can do now is try to delay the time until that master arrives.

Someone could no longer stand the dead silence of the room:

"Master, the Leimen monster used such cruel methods to murder my disciple Xiao Qing. If I don't take revenge on my majestic Yujian Villa, won't I be ridiculed by people all over the world? I think my villa has always been open and upright for a hundred years. , other people can only be provoked by the ceremony of overthrowing the whole family by me, why are you like a turtle today? The court wants us to ignore the hatred and continue to cooperate with Leimen, let me ask, Leimen has no intention of working together at all, why does my villa want Listen to what that Zhuzi said, and ignore this sworn hatred? Owner, even if you see that I, Xiao Hua, have been working in the village for 30 years, I implore you, allow me to bring two The hundred disciples went south to Leimen and wiped out all the demons in his sect!"

"Yes! Owner! Xiao Qing's death was terrible!"

"I agree with Master Hua!"

"I agree!"

"The owner..."

The cold sweat on Xiao Rong's forehead had already spread to his face. He looked at the people who were arguing into a pot of porridge, and repeated the three words that he had repeated many times with some trembling:

"Wait, wait, wait..."

Immediately interrupted by angry people:

"What are you waiting for!"

"Yes, what is there to wait for!"

Suddenly, a young man walked outside the door, all in black, with dark eyes.With just a glance between the eyebrows and eyes, one can easily see the full of violence.His sharp eyes like a falcon swept across the excited crowd one by one, with a characteristic sneer of disdain on the corner of his mouth, and the words he spit out sounded as cold and terrifying as coming from hell:

"He is waiting for Gu, are you dissatisfied? Huh?"
