A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 241: The Sound of the Bronze Mirror
He chose Xiao Yu as his target after much consideration.

Xiao Yu's beauty is the biggest bait for Wei Yutian.

He knew very well that Wei Yutian was actually much more lustful than he was, otherwise he would not have kept three beautiful maids around him and raped and abused them every day.

Xiao Yu is from Yuanshun Escort Agency, so Wei Yutian is naturally afraid of him. But as long as he helps him to resolve the crisis, Wei Yutian, this lustful ghost, will fall into the trap without any urging.

"The captain went to Yuanyang Prefecture yesterday. Even if we took a fast horse, it would take three days to go back and forth!"

"I'll give you the detailed layout of Yuanshun Escort Agency. I'll mark the location of the courtyard where Xiao Yu is."

"It's almost the end of the year, and the escort agency has no business. All the escorts in the escort agency have gone home."

"With your martial arts, you can enter and exit the escort agency as if you were in an empty space. If you kidnap her, who can catch you?"

"Bring her to the mansion and hold the ceremony immediately. The captain has not returned yet and Xiao Yu has already turned into dry bones. Even if she is dug out, no one will be able to recognize her."

Luan Jingfu's words made Wei Yutian's lustful heart very excited. Because, after thinking carefully, he found that it was indeed as Luan Jingfu said, this matter seemed to be feasible.

"When the captain comes back, won't he guess that it was me who did it?" Wei Yutian stroked the lid of the teacup with his hand and actually became a little nervous.

Luan Jingfu said, "As long as you don't admit it, what can the captain do to you?"

Wei Yutian was obviously still hesitating.

Luan Jingfu sighed and said, "So, I'm telling you, it all depends on whether you have the guts to do it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it weren't for the unrest in the hall, the helmsman wouldn't have gone to the capital city at the end of the year. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have to think about this matter again in the future."

Xiao Yu's beautiful face and graceful figure flashed through Wei Yutian's mind again, and Wei Yutian's heart was filled with heat...

The next afternoon, just after lunch, Sun Huang was in the yard, setting up a large iron pot, stewing beef...

The braised beef is put into a jar and sealed. It can be eaten at any time during the first month of the New Year. When guests come, it is a staple dish whether stir-fried or served cold.

The aroma of the braised beef filled the yard. Sun Huang poked the beef with chopsticks and found that it was cooked through. He was about to take the meat out when there was a knock on the door.

Sun Huang put down his chopsticks, went over to open the gate, and was stunned when he saw the person standing at the door.

"What's the matter? Captain Sun, you don't welcome me?" Luan Jingfu said with a smile.

"Where, where?" Sun Huang immediately said, "Mr. Luan, please come in!"

Sun Huang really didn't expect Luan Jingfu to come.

Luan Jingfu smiled and said, "I won't go in. I came here for something. I want to tell you that we received a letter to Lin County this morning. But it's the end of the year, and most of the escorts have left. Besides, the brothers are also very hard-working, so let's take a good rest during the New Year. I mean, I want to go with Sun Escort to deliver this letter, is it okay?"

Sun Huang was puzzled when he heard this, but he still smiled and said, "Mr. Luan came to invite me personally, how dare I refuse?"

Luan Jingfu smiled and said, "That's good. We will leave from the escort agency in half an hour, and Escort Captain Sun can pack up."

After Luan Jingfu finished speaking, he turned and left. Sun Huang stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching Luan Jingfu's departing figure with his eyes flashing.

Sun Huang was standing there thinking. In the yard behind him, his wife was holding a freshly slaughtered fish and preparing to hang it in the yard to dry.

His wife stood in the yard and asked, "Who came just now?"

Sun Huang turned around and said, "Mr. Luan from the escort agency just came. He said he had a letter and asked me to go with him to deliver it."

"You're too easy to talk to. It's New Year's Day, why would they come to you instead of someone else for this kind of thing?"

"It's in Lin County. I can be back in the evening!"

His wife snorted coldly, hung the fish in the yard, and went into the kitchen.

Sun Huang went back to his room, changed into his escort uniform, and prepared to go out. He walked to the gate and shouted to the kitchen, "The beef stew is ready. Scoop it out." Sun Huang shouted and walked out of the gate. His wife came out, spitted on the ground, and said, "You're just looking for trouble for me."

Luan Jingfu and Sun Huang rode their horses on West Street.

Usually, the letter is sent with the cargo, which is cheaper. But a separate letter like this is very expensive. Unless it is urgent and important, most people will not send a letter alone.

Moreover, the escort agency has a rule that no matter whether it is a big escort or a small escort, one cannot go alone, there must be at least two people, in case something happens, there will be someone to take care of it. To put it more bluntly, if someone dies, at least there will be someone to collect the body.

In the afternoon, West Street was filled with people buying New Year's goods. They walked slowly with the clatter of their horses' hooves.

Luan Jingfu said, "Captain Sun, we have had some disagreements over the years, but they were just misunderstandings. I called you out this time to shake hands and make peace. I hope we can live in harmony in the future."

Sun Huang's heart moved. He had been guessing what Luan Jingfu meant, but he didn't expect that he would pick it out himself as soon as he left the escort agency.

Sun Huang said, "Mr. Luan is so humble, I am very terrified. In the past, I was also stubborn and inflexible in some matters, I hope Mr. Luan will forgive me."

Sun Huang was actually just saying these words for show. He didn't believe that Luan Jingfu was really willing to live in harmony with him.

Luan Jingfu smiled and said, "Since you said that, this trip was not in vain."

In fact, Luan Jingfu dragged Sun Huang to Lin County to deliver the letter dart just to get evidence of his absence. Sun Huang was Xiao Zongting's direct descendant, and his evidence was the most convincing.

With Sun Huang's testimony, Xiao Yu's kidnapping had nothing to do with him.

At midnight, the streets of Xiangu County were quiet. The night watchmen who were ringing the bell walked on the street with their necks hunched. The cold wind blew and the two night watchmen shivered with cold...

In the Yuanshun Escort Agency, the night patrol guards yawned with their hands folded...

A team of patrolling guards had just passed the martial arts arena when a dark shadow flashed in the dark shadows of the trees in the corner and jumped onto a pine tree.

Wei Yutian wore a nightgown and covered his face. He stood on a pine tree and, using the branches as a cover, took out the internal layout map of the escort agency that Luan Jing had given him.

Wei Yutian used the dim light from the gaps between the branches to look at the location marked by a red dot on the map. Wei Yutian put away the layout map, stood on the tree, and headed towards that place, which was the direction leading to Xiao Zongting's courtyard.

Wei Yutian slid and landed lightly and silently on the tree shadow like a nimble raccoon cat. Then he jumped into the alley next to him...

Xiao Zongting's courtyard was pitch black, with only a faint light coming through the window of the east wing, which was Xiao Yu's boudoir.

Xiao Zongting and Zhu Xiaoqi had already gone to bed.

But Xiao Yu had not slept yet. She was still standing in her boudoir.

She had been standing in the Hunyuan Zhuanggong for several hours straight. At this moment, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and there was even steam rising from her head...

March after the Chinese New Year is the day for selecting registered disciples of Taiyi Sect. She hopes to achieve the fourth level of Inner Breath Realm before then, so she has been practicing even harder in recent times.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yu was just about to disperse her energy, but suddenly a dark shadow flashed at the door, and a masked man in black and night clothes stood in front of her as fast as lightning.

Xiao Yu's whole body trembled suddenly as if electric shock had passed through her, and she shouted, "Who is it?" Almost at the same time she spoke, she had already drawn the knife at her waist and slashed at the man.

The man flashed and stood beside Xiao Yu, and hit Xiao Yu on the back of the head with a palm knife.

Xiao Yu felt a chill in his heart. This man was obviously a very skilled martial artist. He should be a warrior at the True Qi realm.

A hint of death flashed through Xiao Yu's mind.

At the same time as the man's palm knife hit the back of her head, Xiao Yu used the last bit of her clarity, infused her internal energy, flicked her wrist, and threw the knife in her hand towards the bronze mirror on the dressing table beside her!
The dressing table was right next to Xiao Yu. As the tip of the Qingling Knife hit the bronze mirror, a crisp, vibrating "dong" sound spread out in the dark night...
