Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 40 Assassin's Creed: Divorce
The tall and short buildings in the Prince of Jin's Mansion are scattered like chess pieces. At first glance, the terrain is complex yet reveals splendor and exquisiteness.

The two waited until Xue Xiao flew back before paying for the tea. Then they dressed neatly, left the restaurant, and walked around the walls of Prince Jin's Mansion in the cover of night, finding a quiet and deserted corner.

Zhao Wumian was not just chatting and joking with the little nun. Before coming to the restaurant to meet Guan Yunshu, he had already spent an entire afternoon practicing Qinggong. Although he couldn't be considered an expert yet, at least he wouldn't make the same mistake he made in the inn.

It can be said that time is utilized to the extreme, and one wishes there were twenty-four hours in a day.

The Prince of Jin's Palace is very large, with a total of six gates. Each gate is guarded by black-armored soldiers holding heavy crossbows and retainers with high martial arts skills. Every night, there are guards patrolling back and forth on the city walls. Each of them is equipped with a horn, which will be blown immediately if anything is wrong. Then, three bells will be rung in the Prince of Jin's Palace, which is the signal to seal the city.

It was impossible for the two of them to attack Huanglong directly from the main gate, so Zhao Wumian prepared two sets of white clothes when he came... He took off his hat and raincoat, wrapped the slightly tight white clothes over his robe, sprinkled them with the medicine given by Luo Chaoyan, and then hid the hat and raincoat in the snow.

A white dress is just right for a snowy day like this.

The Snow Owl flew high into the sky, looking for a loophole in the guard patrol room... It had traveled all over the country with Yan Jiu in the past, so this kind of thing was naturally easy for it to do.

After Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu changed their clothes, they pressed themselves against the wall, holding their breath and waiting for Xue Xiao's signal.

It's snowing heavily tonight, and the dark clouds are covering the moon, so visibility is low. For lighting, we can only rely on the lanterns in the hands of the guards and the lights in Prince Jin's Mansion... It's a good day for sneaking in.

When Zhao Wumian was concentrating and on guard, he glanced at Guan Yunshu out of the corner of his eye... Guan Yunshu herself had a very good figure, but now she was wearing a tight white dress, which was not very revealing... She must have known that she needed to sneak in tonight, so she bound her chest.

At the same time, she tied her black hair, which was long enough to reach her calves, into two cute little buns, revealing a little of her neck. Occasionally, snowflakes brushed against her, and Zhao Wumian felt that her skin was even whiter than the snowflakes.

At this moment, Guan Yunshu suddenly turned around. She was wearing a mask and did not say anything. She just glared at Zhao Wumian with her clear eyes that seemed to be able to speak. The meaning was probably something like "I will dig out your eyes if you look at me again". However, considering the current relationship between Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu, she should not do such an excessive thing. At most, she would say something like "I will beat you up if you look at me again".

Zhao Wumian silently withdrew his gaze, thinking about these things in his heart. However, after a while, a few faint cries were heard from high above. At a glance, they sounded like ordinary birds, but the two of them fixed their eyes, raised their hands to put on the hoods that came with their white clothes, and then suddenly disappeared from the spot. Only four footprints were left in the snow, and then the footprints were quickly covered up in the heavy snow. No one would know that there were two people here a few seconds ago.

With their level of lightness skills, climbing over the ten-foot-high wall of the mansion was no problem at all. With the Snow Owl on their watch, the two of them just kept jumping higher. When they reached the top of the wall, Guan Yunshu secretly took a breath, and his figure suddenly stopped in the snow. Then he lightly tapped the wall with his white boots, and his slender figure suddenly leaped forward like a ghost, and disappeared in the snow in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Wumian's lightness skills were not as smooth as Guan Yunshu's, so he had to use one hand to hold the edge of the wall to slow down the upward force when he got close to the wall. Then he used the force to somersault on the wall and jumped into the mansion.

Just a breath after the two men rushed into Prince Jin's Mansion, two guards walked by with lanterns in their hands.

Arriving at Prince Jin's Mansion, before Zhao Wumian could see the scenery clearly, a small hand reached out from the side, grabbed his arm, pulled him down from the air, hid in a corner of a house, and lay down on the snow.

Zhao Wumian's face was buried in the snow, and he didn't dare to look up. He only heard a few footsteps coming from afar, accompanied by idle chatter, which sounded like "the snow is so heavy" and "the Rong tribe has been out of food in recent years, and their offensive momentum is getting more and more fierce."

After the footsteps faded away, Zhao Wumian slowly raised his face, only to feel that it was frozen. Guan Yunshu had one arm on his neck, and their shoulders were pressed tightly together, so they could rely on their body temperature to keep each other warm.

The snowy owl, relying on its natural body color, almost blended into the environment in the snowy night. It landed on the eaves of the house where the two were hiding, and then stretched out its wings and pointed to the west. Obviously, the horse farm was there.

The two men stood up silently and looked at each other. They could see that the areas around their eyes that were not covered by the masks were also covered with snow, and their eyebrows were white, which looked a little funny.

Guan Yunshu gave Zhao Wumian a look that said "I'll beat you up if you laugh" before he followed Xue Xiao's instructions and headed silently towards the stable.

Zhao Wumian followed closely behind without saying a word.

Being in the Prince of Jin's Mansion, which had the most stringent defense in Taiyuan, even though the two men were highly skilled in martial arts, they did not dare to let their guard down at this moment. They kept their eyes and ears open at all times. Whenever there were guards patrolling nearby or someone passing by, the two men would immediately hide in the snow and not move.

With their martial arts, they were not afraid of these guards, but if they killed them, when the Jin Palace counted the number of people tomorrow and found that some people were missing, they would probably send troops to seal off the city. Back and forth, over and over again, lying in the snow whenever he had time, half an hour had passed before Zhao Wumian realized that he had only walked about a hundred meters to the west.

There must be many experts watching in the dark places on the city walls and high up in the houses, so the two of them had to go around in circles at the corners of the houses and didn't dare to run on the eaves.

Guan Yunshu had previously told Zhao Wumian that the Prince of Jin's Mansion was roughly divided into inner and outer courtyards. The outer courtyard surrounded the inner courtyard and was mostly where guests, guards, servants, etc. lived.

The inner courtyard is also quite large. It is the private residence of Prince Jin. It should have been the residence of Prince Jin's family, but because Prince Jin only married a wife who died young and has never remarried, there is nothing to be shy about. Prince Jin's confidants also live in the inner courtyard to protect him at all times.

Just like Jiang Bai and You Junwu, they all live in the inner courtyard... Therefore, the inner courtyard's defense force is also the strongest.

As the thousand-mile horses were raised in the Prince of Jin's mansion, space had to be cleared for the horses. It was impossible to build a horse farm in the relatively small inner courtyard, so the two of them did not need to take the risk of going to the inner courtyard.

After walking and stopping for half an hour, the two finally got through a group of tall and short buildings without any danger. A horse farm covering an area of ​​unknown hectares appeared in front of them. It was surrounded by fences, and the snow inside the farm had been cleared out and piled around the farm. It was just getting dark, and there were still many people in the farm sweeping the snow with small lanterns hanging around their waists.

Next to the horse farm is the stable, where more than a dozen horses are seen eating grass, and a professional horse breeder is taking care of their fur.

The two men hid in the dark and observed silently. Even someone like Zhao Wumian who knew nothing about horses could pick out the three horses with the best spirits among the dozen or so horses at a glance.

Zhao Wumian looked at Guan Yunshu, who nodded slightly. It was obvious that those three horses were the talented horses that Zhao Wumian had been looking for for a long time.

After determining the target, both of them felt a little helpless.

It is actually kept in the Prince of Jin’s Mansion... Now that a good horse has been found, how can we steal it?
At night, all the doors of Prince Jin's mansion were closed, and the city would be sealed off if any unusual situation occurred.

During the day... Prince Jin specially built a horse farm in the mansion, obviously to prevent people from stealing horses. The thousand-mile horses did not need to go outside the Prince Jin's mansion at all, they could walk around by themselves in the mansion.

If nothing unexpected happens, the day these three thousand-mile horses leave the Prince Jin's Palace, they can only be given to someone...

So it is definitely not possible to rob by force, the only way is to use wits.

Zhao Wumian pondered for a while, then moved closer to Guan Yunshu. Guan Yunshu thought Zhao Wumian had some trick up his sleeve, so he leaned closer to him, only to hear him whisper;

"Everything is false, everything is allowed, and we can be white-robed assassins for once."

Guan Yunshu blinked her eyes and suddenly became furious. She thought to herself, I took a huge risk to sneak into the palace just to steal a horse for you. Now it's not easy to steal a horse, and you don't worry at all and just say weird things. And you still want me to worry for you?

She stretched out her hand and pinched Zhao Wumian's waist, but she was afraid that if she used too much force, Zhao Wumian would scream and expose his position, so she moved very gently, more like a couple flirting.

Zhao Wumian whispered, "You are such a short-sighted woman. I didn't say anything nonsense... For the sake of a good horse, I can only do the most daring things."

After saying that, Zhao Wumian waved to the Snow Owl. When the Snow Owl flew over, he said:

"Where does the Prince of Jin live? Take me there."
