Chapter 309: Entering Xiaohan Valley at Night

The terrain of Xiaohan Valley is very wonderful.

There are towering cliffs on both sides and a low valley, where rainwater accumulates to form a lake.

Xiaohan Valley was built around the lake, but the lake water did not accumulate here forever, but flowed out to form a waterfall.

The cliffs are tall and straight, and the rock walls are slippery and difficult to climb.

At the waterfall, it is impossible to go upstream against the rapids...you can only enter and exit through the only entrance.

Today, this entrance is strictly guarded by the people of Xiaohan Valley, and it is absolutely impossible to invade from here.

Su Ningzhen was really racking her brains over how to invade Xiaohan Valley. Until Chu Qing decided to take action, she hadn't thought of a good solution.

After everyone separated, she asked Chu Qing this question.

Finally said:
"How about we find a way to get two sets of clothes from Xiaohan Valley disciples and sneak in?"

Chu Qing shook his head:
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, but you have to be patient for a while."

"What are you enduring?"

Suning really asked.

"Hold it. Don't breathe for now."

Chu Qing said, pulling Wenrou's wrist with one hand and pressing the other hand on Su Ningzhen's shoulder.

Just when Suning looked confused, Wenrou had already taken a deep breath and held her breath.

Her trust in Chu Qing was as natural as eating and drinking. Since Chu Qing said not to breathe for the time being, she would just hold her breath.

In comparison, Su Ningzhen was confused and wanted to ask again, but before she could open her mouth again, she felt a gust of wind suddenly rushing into her mouth and nose.

Everything around became even more bizarre.

It was an extremely fast speed, causing the surrounding scenery to quickly recede, and in a trance it seemed to turn into blurred dotted lines of different colors.

She stared, but dared not be speechless.

I suddenly closed my mouth, and when I came to my senses, I felt that the surrounding scenery had returned to its original state.

Only the gust of wind brought by Chu Qing still rushed forward aimlessly.

Suningzhen looked around and opened his mouth to speak, but he had swallowed a lot of wind at the beginning, so he couldn't say anything, but he felt like vomiting.

She forced herself to be patient, looked back at the direction of the entrance to Xiaohan Valley, and then looked at Chu Qing and Wenrou who were looking around curiously.

The shock in my heart has reached its peak.

This man's martial arts skills are truly formidable and have reached an incredible level.

Otherwise, how could he have such means?
Chu Qing looked at the buildings lined up around the lake not far away and chuckled:
"The scenery in this Xiaohan Valley is quite nice, but do you know where Han Qiuyuan is?"

Su Ningzhen shook her head. She only knew that Han Qiuyuan was in Xiaohan Valley, but she had no idea where he was.

"Why don't you ask someone?"

A gentle suggestion.

Chu Qing thought it was not a bad idea.

After all, considering the number of buildings in Xiaohan Valley, if they want to look for Han Qiuyuan room by room, even if they just take a look at each room, they won't be able to finish until dawn.

Finding someone to ask will naturally speed up the search.

He did it as he thought, and covered the mouth and nose of a servant who was still outside for some unknown reason and took him to a dark place.

The boy struggled but couldn't get free, and was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

Chu Qing's voice came into my ears:

"I ask you questions and you answer them. If you don't tell the truth, I will beat you to death."

The servant nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

Chu Qing then slowly released the hand that was covering his mouth. The boy clenched his teeth tightly and did not open his mouth to call for help.

Seeing this, Chu Qing nodded with satisfaction and asked:

"Let me ask you, where does Han Qiuyuan live?"

"Who?"

The boy was startled:
"I don't know..."

Chu Qing's eyes turned cold:

"Hmm? I'll give you one more chance... If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, you should know the consequences."

The boy knelt down with a plop:
"If you have anything to ask me, I will tell you everything I know...

“No one would go against his own life.

"But I really don't know the person you are talking about."

Chu Qing saw that his expression was not fake, so he turned his head and glanced at Su Ningzhen.

Suning's face turned black:
"Nonsense! I saw Han Qiuyuan enter Xiaohan Valley with my own eyes. Han Yiren treated him as a guest of honor and even led the crowd to welcome him. How could you not have seen it?"

"This...may I ask, lady, when did that happen?"

"Three days ago."

“Three days ago, a distinguished guest did come to the valley... but he was too high-ranking, so I had no chance to meet him, nor did I hear about how he was arranged.

"However, if they are distinguished guests, they should all stay in the guest rooms of Guanyun Pavilion."

As the boy spoke, he pointed to the middle of the cliff.

There are also buildings halfway up the mountain. The building materials are dug into the mountain wall to build a whole circle of magnificent buildings, which are named Guanyun Pavilion.

Living there, you can see the lake nearby and the clouds in the distance.

Then I heard the servant say honestly:

"I cannot go up there with my status as a lowly person, so I really don't know which room the person you are talking about lives in."

Chu Qing thought for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Then let me ask you, where is the residence of Han Yiren, the owner of Xiaohan Valley? You must know this, right?"

"what?"

The young man was stunned and almost in tears:

"I...I know..."

"tell me the story."

The boy pointed to a building facing the lake and said:
"The Valley Master lives in the largest courtyard. There is a three-story building in the deepest courtyard. The room on the top floor of the building is the Valley Master's room."

This time the explanation was very detailed.

Chu Qing nodded when he heard that, and gently pressed his fingers on the back of his neck, and the boy immediately fainted.

Suning's expression changed slightly:

"You're not going to really ask Han Yiren, are you?"

Chu Qing shook his head. Xiaohan Valley was colluding with the Tianxie Cult. Chu Qing actually wanted to kill Han Yiren immediately.

But now this "grand event" in Xiaohan Valley has not yet begun, and it is far from the time when the truth will be revealed. Chu Qing is worried that the people behind the scenes will be alerted if there is any slight disturbance.

If he showed up in a rage, it would be exactly what he wanted.

But if we don't know this person's temper, what if he is so frightened that he runs away at the sight of everything? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

In order to avoid accidents, Han Yiren was unable to move at this moment.

However, just because Han Yiren cannot move does not mean that others cannot move.

“I’ve never heard that Han Yiren is a loner. Since he lives there, I guess his family lives there too.

"Let's go and see if there are any suitable candidates. We can ask around."

Su Ning really felt that Chu Qing's behavior was indeed rampant... Now they were in danger, but he was completely unaware of it, as if he could control the entire Xiaohan Valley at will. Now that he didn't move Han Yiren, it was not because he was afraid of him.

Looking at his expression, it seems as if he is saying that it is not the time to touch him yet.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. It's good to have good martial arts skills. You can do whatever you want, unlike me who has to be cautious in everything I do.

And if you are not careful, you may offend important people and even lose your life.

Chu Qing didn't know what Su Ning was really thinking, so he took her and Wen Rou directly to the building. Just as they entered the yard, Wen Rou suddenly moved her arm slightly. Chu Qing immediately stopped and looked at her. Wen Rou whispered in his ear:

"I smell the scent of the eldest brother of the Chu family."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Qing's heart was shocked.

Although I had expected that I might find clues about Chu Tian here, I didn't expect it to come so soon.

"where?"

Wenrou pointed, and Chu Qing flew towards that place without saying a word.

The journey was naturally not smooth. As the most important place in Xiaohan Valley, it was heavily guarded. However, despite the large number of guards, they could not catch sight of Chu Qing and the other two.

After a moment, Wenrou led them to a small courtyard.

I turned over and jumped in, and saw that the light was still on in the room.

But the maid was standing outside the door, yawning and nodding her head, and she might fall asleep while standing at any time.

Gentle and soft voice said:

"In the main house, but he may have left..."

She didn't make her words very clear, after all, there was Su Ningzhen next to her.

The reason why we can conclude that it may have gone is because the smell has become lighter.

If people stay here all the time, the taste will remain.

Chu Qing understood it in his heart, but he didn't care about it too much. At least it meant that Chu Tian had been here before.

But this yard is obviously not abandoned and has been inhabited all year round. The person living here may be a woman... Why is Chu Tian hiding here?
Did this old guy forget about his love affair with his sister-in-law after he went out and come over to kiss and cuddle with other girls?
Chu Qing grinned, but was not in a hurry to make a conclusion about his brother.

In a flash, he bypassed the maid and entered through the window at the side of the room.

The room was not small, but there was only one person inside, painting facing the firelight.

Hearing the noise, he turned back suddenly, with a look of joy on his face:

"Go back..."

But after saying two words, I realized something was wrong.

When I wanted to speak again, it was too late.

Chu Qing seemed to shrink the distance into an inch, and appeared directly in front of her, pinching her throat and suppressing the rest of her words.

Her eyes widened, and she turned her palms and slapped Chu Qing's chest directly.

Chu Qing did not resist and did not loosen his hands from her neck, but his two palms seemed to hit the mountain.

Not only did it not hurt Chu Qing, but the recoil force made her hands numb.

But she couldn't groan, and her breathing became increasingly difficult. Her mind went blank and she was about to pass out when Chu Qing suddenly released his hand from her neck.

Pick up the painting on the table.

The woman staggered, came to her senses, and after seeing Chu Qing's actions, she quickly reached out to grab it:

"give me back!"

She spoke softly, as if she was worried about alarming the people outside.

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows. The person in the painting was Chu Tian.

However, Chu Tian looked a little embarrassed, with blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were cold, keeping people at a distance.

After dodging the woman's hand that was trying to grab the painting, Chu Qing spoke coldly:
"What is your relationship with the person in this painting?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

When the woman said this, she suddenly looked at Chu Qing:

"You know him?"

If you don't know him, why would you ask this?
"More than just knowing..."

Chu Qing exhaled lightly:

"Tell me, what is your relationship?"

"… Tell me about your relationship first, and then I'll consider whether to tell you or not."

The woman did not let Chu Qing manipulate her, but instead put forward conditions.

"You think you can negotiate with me?"

Trina's eyes narrowed.

"Kill me if you can!"

This girl is not afraid of death.

Chu Qing's mind moved slightly, and his eyes looked outside the door:
"You are not afraid of death, so you don't care about the life and death of the maid outside the door?"

The girl's face suddenly changed, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"mean!!"

"Since you know, then tell me what I want to know honestly, otherwise..."

Chu Qing's eyes turned fierce, and although he didn't say the follow-up words, his unfinished words were still evident.

The girl took a deep breath and snorted:
"Okay, that's what I said.

"That man was an assassin... He broke into my room by chance and forced me to treat his injuries.

"When his injuries were healed, he left."

Wenrou suddenly lifted a carpet and found a pull ring hidden underneath. She reached out and pulled it open, revealing a tunnel.

Chu Qing looked back and his eyes fell on the girl again:

"what is this?"

"…a secret passage leading to the outside of Xiaohan Valley."

The girl looked at Wenrou with some surprise. She didn't expect that this place was so secretive that she would find it.

Su Ningzhen was even more dumbfounded. Wenrou looked so familiar with the situation that it almost made people doubt that she was the owner of the room.

Wenrou glanced at Chu Qing and nodded slightly.

What this means is that there is indeed no Chu Tian here.

Chu Qing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this... He didn't completely believe what the girl in front of him said.

An assassin who came to Xiaohan Valley to kill people broke into her room. With her personality, could she be so obedient and heal him?

During this process, something must have happened between the two people.

Chu Qing touched his chin and rubbed his palms together, and the painting suddenly burst into flames.

The girl was startled and quickly reached out to grab it, her eyes red:

"You, give it back to me!!"

"Since you knew he was an assassin, you left his true face on paper. Are you afraid that he won't die miserably enough in the future?"

Chu Qing squinted at her.

The girl was stunned, then she sighed:

"I, I just want to... Never mind, you're right..."

Having said this, she suddenly realized:
"Are you and him friends, not enemies?"

After saying this, the look in her eyes when she looked at Chu Qing was not as hostile as before.

Chu Qingyu clicked his tongue in his heart, feeling that Chu Tian had done a lot of harm to others. Even as an assassin, he could attract many people...

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone outside shouting:
"Master!"

The girl's face changed drastically:
"My brother is here, you guys hurry up and hide..."

When I turned around, I found that the three people who were originally standing here had all disappeared.

The girl looked confused: "Huh?"
