Chapter 11 Leaving Beijing

"If you want to practice this skill, draw the sword from the palace..."

Turning to the first page of the Sunflower Book, the first line of words was no different from the Sunflower Book in Zhao Yu's memory.

Immediately, Zhao Yu turned to the last page.

As expected, there is no record of the so-called "if you don't have to go to the palace, you can succeed".

It seems that this book is specially prepared for monsters.

The secret book is divided into two parts. The first half records the methods of practicing Qi, and the second half records some sword techniques and moves.

After careful consideration, Zhao Yu decided to put the upper half into the system backpack and give the lower half to the Governor.

Without the support of Qi training methods, the second half of the moves are just decoration!

The stall owner is dead, and he is the only one who has seen the Sunflower Book. Before he gets all the books, the Governor will not be disadvantageous to him in the short term.

After everything was packed up, just when Zhao Yu was thinking about how to deal with the body of Dandantou, a rope fell from the cliff outside.

The rope was swaying, and it looked like someone was descending from the top along the rope.



Xichang, Du Gong Dui House.

The Governor sat above him, and on the slippery table in front of him lay half of the Sunflower Book.

Zhao Yu, on the other hand, knelt down on one knee and narrated the entire process.

"My subordinates and the stall owner found this demon book in the stone box on the cliff. When they returned, the stall owner accidentally fell off the cliff..."

Zhao Yu told the story he had arranged before in detail.

"The stall fell off the cliff?"

The governor obviously didn't believe Zhao Yu's explanation.

As the immediate boss, the Superintendent knew exactly how many kilograms there were in the stall.

Not to mention the rope pulling, even if there is no rope, with Da Shitou's skill, he won't fall off the cliff, right?

"yes!"

Zhao Yu raised his head, frowned slightly and said, "But..."

"explain!"

Seeing Zhao Yu hesitate to speak, the governor said coldly.

"Reporting to the Governor, before the stall fell down the cliff, my subordinates seemed to have heard the sound of breaking through the air, like the sound of a hidden weapon being fired!" Zhao Yu said nonsensically.

"In other words, the stall did not actually fall off the cliff, but was assassinated secretly?"

The Governor stared at Zhao Yu and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yu said cautiously: "My subordinates are just guessing..."

After staring at Zhao Yu for a long time, the Governor waved his hand and signaled Zhao Yu to retreat.

After Zhao Yu left the lobby, he casually picked up the half of the Sunflower Book on the slip of paper.

He naturally knew that Zhao Yu, who was inspecting hundreds of households, was talking nonsense.

When he sent the stall owner to monitor Zhao Yu, he had already ordered that when the book was obtained, he would be killed and silenced!

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it should be the big stall owner who comes back, not Zhao Yu!

But what makes him uncertain is... could it be that the person who killed the big stall owner was really just a powerless person checking hundreds of households?

Pi Tianxiao was an accident.

But if you add a large stall in Xichang, it’s no coincidence!



After leaving the Xichang Yamen, Zhao Yu walked towards home with his brows furrowed in thought.

Obviously, even I don’t believe the reason I made up, let alone the Governor?

At this moment, the corpse of the stall owner is still in his system backpack.

This thing must be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise it would be quite uncomfortable to carry a corpse around all the time.

But now, even Zhao Yu himself doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring around him, so he must not act rashly at this time.

After returning home, the two little maids approached him enthusiastically. In the past, Zhao Yu would have been ready to make a move at this moment.

But now seeing these two delicate little maids, Zhao Yu broke out in cold sweat.

Even when eating in the evening, Zhao Yu put part of the food into the system backpack without the two maids paying attention.

Only when the backpack confirms that the food is not poisoned can it be swallowed.

I was poor in my previous life, but I wasn’t so worried!

Living, it seems, is not an easy task anywhere.



The next day.

Zhao Yu had breakfast and was about to go out to Xichang Yamen to order a meal when a guard officer came speeding outside the door.

"Secret Order from the Governor!"

After the officer dismounted, he came directly to Zhao Yu and said: "The governor has an order to inspect hundreds of Zhao Yu's households. Go to Xihua Gate immediately, without any mistake!"

Zhao Yu cupped his hands and said, "Follow the order!"

After the guardsmen left, Zhao Yu frowned.

The Governor asked him to go to Xihua Gate?

To be honest, if I hadn't been able to inspect hundreds of households and ransack homes, it would not have been an easy task for me to meet a person at the level of the Governor, given my status.

However, the Sunflower Book has been given to the Du Gong. Logically speaking, a small character like himself should be dismissed from get out of class. Why is he still secretly recruiting himself?

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu rushed to Xihua Gate without stopping.

When Zhao Yu arrived outside Xihua Gate, he discovered that in addition to himself, there were more than thirty people waiting here.

Among them, there are seven or eight in just 100 households, and there is one who is in charge of the army of 1,000 households...

"Have you heard? The East Factory Supervisor knows that Eunuch Wan has been killed!"

Before Zhao Yu could walk in, he heard hundreds of households gathering around and whispering.

"Ah?! Eunuch Wan of Wanyu Tower?"

"Yes, Longjiang Navy Inspector had his head removed by a swordsman from the Jianghu!"

"No way? Although we and Dongchang have always been at odds with each other, Wan Yulou is also a supervisor, surrounded by many masters, and Eunuch Wan's own martial arts is unfathomable. Who has this ability?!"

"I heard it's a man named...what's his name, Zhao Shaofan."



Zhao Shaofan?!

Hearing this name, Zhao Yu's eyes widened suddenly.

When other people hear this name, they may just think that he is a powerful swordsman.

But Zhao Yu knew clearly that the appearance of this guy involved the secret of a wealthy and powerful country!

Following this line of thinking, Zhao Yu immediately understood why the Governor had his cronies gather outside the city at this time.

Moreover... Zhao Yu looked around, except for himself, the guys around who had been secretly summoned by the Governor, all had strong skills.

A moment later, the Governor, dressed in brocade robes, came on horseback, followed by a retinue with cold eyes.

"Go to the canal ferry first, and then we will divide our troops into two groups. The governor will go by water, and you will lead the other group by land..."

The governor whispered to the retinue behind him.

"yes!"



The group of people galloped on horseback and arrived at the canal dock after a while.

From a distance, Zhao Yu saw a terrifying giant ship docked not far away!

In the past, Zhao Yu, who always felt that ancient warships were not very strong in movies and TV dramas, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

How the hell does this look like a ship?!

It is simply a giant beast crawling on the canal!

"Inspection of thousands of households will bring people to board the boat with me, and the rest will take the dry road!"

After the governor dismounted, he walked towards the lucky boat and gave instructions.

"Inspecting thousands of households?"

The attendants were stunned for a moment, and then asked softly: "During this secret trip, the Governor did not call the inspectors to come."

Hearing this, the Governor stopped and immediately turned to look at Zhao Yu, who was hanging behind the crowd.

Zhao Yu quickly stepped forward and came to the Governor.
