Last year, Yang Yu met Zhao Xuan'er, a pipa singer who was only 17 years old, in a music studio in Qizhou. Zhao Xuan'er is from Mizhou. After her parents died when she was ten years old, she was sold to the music studio and became a pipa girl.
Most pipa girls sell their bodies as well as their art. Zhao Xuan'er's first customer was Yang Yu. This is not a coincidence, but a business rule. The first time a pipa girl sells her body is very expensive. If the customer likes her, he can spend a lot of money to buy her away.
Zhang Lei's concubine was also in the same situation. She gave it to Zhang Lei for the first time, which made Zhang Lei happy, so Zhang Lei paid two thousand taels of silver to redeem her.
Yang Yu was also a compassionate person. When he saw that Zhao Xuan'er had a beautiful appearance and a gentle personality, which was completely opposite to the ruthless Wang Jianying, Yang Yu was moved and spent a sum of money to redeem Zhao Xuan'er's body.
Yang Yu had no intention of marrying Zhao Xuan'er at first. He only planned to let her serve him for a few years and then let her marry a good man.
The turning point happened two months ago when Zhao Xuan'er became pregnant. The fetus in her belly gave Yang Yu the idea of quitting the Hidden Sword Pavilion. In order to prevent Wang Jianying from discovering this, he asked Sun Xiaozhen to secretly buy a building in Chunxing Lane.
House, let Zhao Xuan'er move there.
But this house was still found by Wang Jianying, but the head of the household was Sun Xiaozhen, and Wang Jianying thought it was the house bought by Sun Xiaozhen.
It was this difference in thought that allowed Sun Xiaozhen and Zhao Xuan'er to escape disaster.
When Wang Jianying's men chased to Chunxing Lane, Sun Xiaozhen had already brought Zhao Xuan'er to the dock. Sun Xiaozhen was still dressed as a bartender and only had a few taels of silver on her body, but Zhao Xuan'er was carrying a bamboo box. This was according to Yang Yu's instructions.
After packing up, there are several pieces of clothes and dozens of taels of gold inside, ready to leave at any time.
Sun Xiaozhen ran over and said with a worried look on her face: "The boat has been found, but I only have a few taels of silver, not enough to rent a boat. I have to go back. Little Master, wait for me here."
Zhao Xuan'er whispered: "I have fifty taels of gold in my box, is it enough?"
Sun Xiaozhen was overjoyed, "Ten taels of gold is enough, let's get on the ship quickly."
He took Zhao Xuan'er on a thousand-stone passenger ship. As soon as he sat down, he saw a dozen knights in black riding horses in the distance. Sun Xiaozhen was startled and quickly lowered the curtain and said loudly: "Ship Master, hurry up and leave."
Come on! We are in a hurry."
"Okay! Let's go."
The boatman pushed his pole towards the shore, and the boat swayed away from the pier. After leaving the pier for a few dozen feet, they saw men in black getting on the pier and getting on the boat separately to search. Sun Xiaozhen breathed a sigh of relief. They were just a little bit close.
What a fluke!
Zhao Xuan'er took out a dagger from the box and handed it to Sun Xiaozhen, "I have a sword here, Xiaozhen, take it with you!"
Sun Xiaozhen was overjoyed. With this sword, he suddenly became more courageous and could protect his wife to go to Ganzhou.

Assassinating Li Zhengji was an important mission for Yang Yu in Ziqing. He had been preparing for many years. Although Li Zhengji was heavily guarded, it was not difficult for Yang Yu to assassinate him.
The key is how to escape completely and escape from the control of Hidden Sword Pavilion.
The next afternoon, a guard came to Yang's silk and satin shop, found Yang Yu, and handed him a letter.
"Are you going now?" Yang Yu asked.
The guard nodded, "Young Master is waiting for you!"
"Okay! I'll go now."
He gave the two waiters a few words, left the shop, and rode towards the north of the city. Not long after, he arrived at Ji Yuntian Restaurant, which was the largest restaurant in Qizhou. The investor behind it was Li Zhengji's eldest son, Li Jing.
Li Zhengji had two sons, Li Jing and Li Na. Li Jing was relatively mediocre, but Li Na was brave and good at fighting, and was deeply loved by Li Zhengji. He always regarded his second son Li Na as his heir.
As for his eldest son Li Jing, Li Zhengji never took him seriously.
Yang Yu met Li Jing on the third floor of Jiyuntian Restaurant. He came forward, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists, saying, "Young man, please see me!"
Li Jingnian is about forty years old. He has a fat round face and a pair of slender small eyes with a cunning light. He is called the Sanmei Gongzi by the people of Qizhou. For so many years, he has been wasting his time among food, wine and beautiful women.
Life.
Because he was addicted to wine and sex, his father Li Zhengji was disgusted with him and handed over the inheritance to his second son Li Na.
Having said that, Li Jing still had many supporters. Many people hated Li Na's cruelty and cruelty, so they turned to support the relatively lenient Li Jing. Especially state and county officials generally supported Li Jing.
Li Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome, Mr. Yang, please sit down!"
Li Jing did not know Yang Yu's true identity. He had known Yang Yu for almost five years and had always regarded him as a lone assassin. Even the silk shop where Yang Yu concealed his identity was opened by Li Jing for him. In the past five years, Yang Yu
Yu assassinated many thorns in his side and won Li Jing's trust.
Yang Yu knew very well that Li Jing was not the three-beautiful young master in the outside world. He was equally ambitious and used wine and sex to cover up his ambition. He actually secretly won over many generals.
It was from Yang Yu's information that Emperor Li Shi knew that Li Jing was a chess piece that could be used.
Just yesterday, the secret envoy from the imperial court met with Li Jing and handed him the emperor's edict, telling him to seize this opportunity to support his troops and stand on his own feet. The imperial court would recognize him as the envoy of Ziqing and grant him the title of Beihai Commandery.
king.
Li Jing thought about it all night, and faced the huge temptation of power and position, he finally made up his mind to attack his father.
"You all get down!"
Li Jing sent all his men away, leaving only him and Yang Yu in the room.
"Brother Yang, I told you back then that one day I would ask you to do something big. Do you still remember?"
"I remember, little man!"
Li Jing lowered his voice and said: "Tomorrow at noon, the old prince is going to inspect Beida Camp. I will create an opportunity for you. You can kill him for me on the way!"
Yang Yu shuddered in his heart. That was his own father. He said it like slaughtering a sheep. In order to fight for power, did he really want to kill his father and his brother?
But Yang Yu is not surprised. Five years of contact has made him know Li Jing very well. On the surface, he looks like a good old man, but in fact he is cruel and vicious. His brother Li Na is cruel, but he is actually even more vicious.
"The villain will never let the eldest son down."
Li Jing smiled and said: "When the deed is accomplished, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold, and then you can fly away and spend the rest of your life comfortably."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir!"
"Go! Come here at dawn tomorrow, and I will make arrangements for you. After the matter is completed, you should come here to receive the reward."
"The villain understands!"
Yang Yu said goodbye and left. The smile on Li Jing's face disappeared. Two men in black came out of the side room and bowed in salute.
Li Jing narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Kill him tomorrow when he comes here to receive the reward. I want to see his head!"
"Follow the order!"
...........
When Yang Yu returned to the silk and satin shop, a clerk said: "Madam is here!"
This lady is naturally Wang Jianying. Yang Yu was still trying to find her. Yesterday, her men were a step late and Sun Xiaozhen escaped with A Xuan. Yang Yu wanted to know if she had found the person after struggling all night.
Yang Yu walked into the back house and saw Wang Jianying standing in the yard with his hands behind his hands, his face full of anger. Yang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she did not find Xiao Zhen and A Xuan.
"When do you plan to carry out the mission?" Wang Jianying asked coldly.
Yang Yu stepped forward and sneered: "I find it very interesting. On the one hand, they are hunting down my family, but on the other hand, they want me to perform tasks. What does Hidden Sword Pavilion think of me?"
"Don't forget your identity. You are the leader of Ziqing Hall. It is your duty to perform tasks. You have sworn an oath."
"I swear it's because when my aunt was here, she treated me as her own child and tried every means to protect my safety. Now that Li Man is in power, he treats everyone like pigs and cows, and threatens me with the safety of my family."
Yang Yu took a deep breath and said: "And you, ten years ago you were still a very kind little lady. Now you are no different from Li Man. You are cold and ruthless. We are husband and wife in name, but in fact you have never
You regard yourself as a wife, and you have never regarded me as your husband. Don’t talk about sex with me. It has nothing to do with sex. At least, do you care about your husband’s food, clothing, food, clothing, headaches and fever? I can’t see you all year round.
You just showed up for the mission, are you a couple?"
Wang Jianying was unmoved and still said coldly: "Since you have become a killer, don't think about living an ordinary life. This is your own choice. Don't put the responsibility on me."
Yang Yu nodded, "You're right! This is my choice, okay! I won't talk nonsense to you, I'll finish what I need to do, and we won't owe each other anything in the future."
Yang Yu suddenly figured out that it was pointless to complain to her. After fulfilling his duties, Zangjian Pavilion would have nothing to do with him in the future. As for this woman, leave her alone.
"Li Jing came to me today and asked me to assassinate Li Zhengji for him. Is this a coincidence?"
Wang Jianying shook his head, "This is not a coincidence. It should be someone sent by the imperial court to contact him. How does he want you to assassinate Li Zhengji?"
"Tomorrow at noon, Li Zhengji is going to Peking University Camp. He will arrange for me to assassinate him on the way."
Wang Jianying pondered for a moment and said: "The trouble is with Li Zhengji's three stand-ins. We can't tell the real ones from the fake ones. If you kill the wrong person, the whole thing will be exposed."
Yang Yu said calmly: "We can't tell the difference, but Li Jing knows very well that he has been planning this plan for many years. Li Zhengji has already placed his confidants beside him. He doesn't even need me to assassinate Li Zhengji, but
He doesn’t want to bear the reputation of patricide, and I suspect that he actually knows my identity, but he keeps pretending to be stupid, and finally puts the blame on Tian Yue or Li Xilie.”
"This is not important. As long as he can kill Li Zhengji, we can cooperate with him to shirk responsibility."
Wang Jianying forced a smile on his face, "Then I wish you success tomorrow!"
Yang Yu also hoped that she would remind him to be careful about being silenced by Li Jing, but she didn't mention it at all. This shows the ruthlessness in her heart, and Yang Yu's dream of being an assassin was completely awakened.
