Zhou Shu ran quickly, like a black smoke in the darkness.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning came first and came quickly in his direction.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly, and disappeared behind a tree in a flash, his breath instantly condensing to nothing.
As soon as he completed these actions, a figure fell from the sky.
Surprisingly, it was the man named Yin Changhao who had fought against Xiao Shunzhi before.
Yin Changhao looked around with some confusion and disappeared. No wonder he dared to sneak into the Wei envoy. A highly skilled man is so bold.
He muttered something in a low voice, then raised the corner of his mouth, smiled and said, "Brother, I know you haven't gone far yet, please come out and see me."
"If I hadn't entangled Xiao Shunzhi just now, I'm afraid you wouldn't have succeeded so easily, right? We have cooperated, brother, are you planning to monopolize the benefits?"
Yin Changhao continued, minding his own business, "You are a bit ungrateful."
Zhou Shu frowned slightly after hearing this.
Yin Changhao discovered himself when he was at the inn?
He challenged Xiao Shunzhi to protect himself?
When did he follow me? Did he discover his true identity?
Several doubts flashed through Zhou Shu's mind.
He has his face covered now. If Yin Changhao found him outside the inn, he probably didn't know his identity.
But if he followed from the Baron's Palace...
Zhou Shu's eyes turned cold.
But this possibility is not high. If he knew his true identity, he should call him by his name now.
But even so, Zhou Shu felt a little cold in his heart. He already valued these first-class martial arts, but he didn't expect to underestimate them in the end.
This time Yin Changhao discovered himself, but he didn't discover him!
Fortunately, Yin Changhao didn't seem to have any malicious intent, otherwise if he had made a sneak attack before, he might have been injured.
In the future, when facing these first-level martial arts, you must be more careful.
If it hadn't been for Yin Changhao today, I might have suffered some hidden losses at the hands of Xiao Shunzhi!
He now feels that he may have underestimated Xiao Shunzhi before.
If Yin Changhao can find himself, Xiao Shunzhi, maybe there is some special way to make him suffer?
"Your Excellency is determined to keep it all to yourself?"
Yin Changhao continued, he said loudly, "If you do this, then don't blame me for not practicing martial ethics."
"Do you believe it or not, if I shout now, one hundred and eighty masters will immediately surround the area?"
Zhou Shu's face darkened, Thaksin!
This Yin Changhao, as you can tell by his name, must be a member of the Daxia royal family!
A first-level master of martial arts from the Great Xia royal family, outside Chang'an City, if he wanted to, not to mention summoning a hundred and eighty people, even if he summoned all the demon-slaying and demon-slaying armies, it wouldn't be unusual at all!
The words have reached this point, and it will be impossible if Zhou Shu does not come out.
If Yin Changhao really calls someone here, it will be hard to say whether something will happen to him, and his identity will definitely be exposed.
"How are you sure what benefits I got from the Wei mission?"
Zhou Shu sighed, turned out from behind the tree, looked at Yin Changhao, and said.
"Huh? It's here?"
Yin Changhao had a look of surprise on his face. When he was staring at Xiao Shunzhi outside the inn, he accidentally spotted a figure. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time. He just helped Zhou Shu out of fun.
Only now did he realize that Zhou Shu's aura had been so completely restrained. Standing in front of him, he could not feel the spiritual energy aura on him at all.
No wonder he can hide in the capital without being discovered.
Yin Changhao has actually guessed Zhou Shu's identity. This man in black with only one pair of eyes exposed is 90% the mysterious master who left the knife cave in the capital, sent the secret assassination book of the Wei Dynasty, and killed Zhu Chuanfeng.<
/p>
"Your Excellency has such a handsome Qi-condensing skill!"
Yin Changhao praised.
"Thank you, you haven't answered my question yet."
Zhou Shu used his true energy to change his vocal cords and spoke in an old and hoarse voice.
"You went to the Wei embassy and didn't kill anyone. Could it be that you just wandered around?"
Yin Changhao smiled and said, "It's so late at night, who would wander around without any benefit?"
"Aren't you outside too."
Zhou Shu said calmly.
"I am being treated as a coolie!"
Yin Changhao said angrily, "If you don't talk about this, what did you do with Lao Xiao? Take it out and have a look!"
Yin Changhao looked excited and smiled like a fish.
Xiao Shunzhi is the official envoy of the Wei mission. Due to his status, he can occasionally cause trouble for Xiao Shunzhi, but if he really wants to attack Xiao Shun, he still can't do it.
But there is no problem for this mysterious master to take action. He is not from the Daxia court. It is hard to say whether he is from Daxia or not.
Your Xiao Shunzhi was stolen, which only shows that you have a bad character. The most I can do is help you investigate. As for whether the stolen items can be recovered, there is no guarantee.
"Nothing."
Zhou Shu spread his hands. He felt that a master like Yin Changhao wouldn't be interested in those yellow and white things, so he didn't say anything.
What Yin Changhao himself asked was, what did he follow Xiao Shunzhi?
There is indeed nothing valuable in Xiao Shunzhi's room.
Yin Changhao frowned, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Think about it, in an enemy country, Xiao Shunzhi is not allowed to carry valuables with him?"
"That's true."
Yin Changhao touched his chin and murmured.
"No, you have known this for a long time, why did you go to the Wei mission? You must have discovered some secret, right?"
Yin Changhao suddenly said.
He thought of the mysterious master's previous attacks, and he had helped Daxia a lot every time.
He now suspects that this mysterious master has discovered another secret!
"Tell me and I'll help you!"
Yin Changhao was a little excited.
Zhou Shu has a black hair. This Yin Changhao has a high level of cultivation, but why does he feel a little unreliable?
"No secrets! None!"
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "If it is true, there is a map of Youhu and the two states in Xiao Shunzhi's room. Does this count?"
"A map of two states merged together? What kind of secret is this?"
Yin Changhao blurted out. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and immediately frowned.
Although he is a bit casual, he is not a fool.
Zhou Shu's words made him immediately think of the bet between Da Xia and Da Wei.
"There is a problem with the merger of two states!"
Yin Changhao couldn't help but said in a deep voice.
"You ask me, how do I know?"
Zhou Shu shook his head and said.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, and I'm leaving now."
Zhou Shu said, turning around and taking steps as he spoke.
"Don't follow me anymore, otherwise, I will treat you as an enemy."
While Yin Changhao was still thinking, Zhou Shu had already walked several feet away.
Suddenly, Yin Changhao said loudly, "No, what are you hiding from me! When I left, Xiao Shunzhi yelled. He looked like he didn't lose anything!"
Zhou Shu paused, this guy has a pretty good mind!
"Okay, I took something from Xiao Shunzhi's room, but it's just a broken rock."
Zhou Shu casually said that he also took away Xiao Shunzhi's money bag. Can he tell Yin Changhao about this?
"Broken stone?"
Yin Changhao didn't believe it, "Brother, the rules of the world are that we should divide the good things 50-50, so don't hide them!"
"Stop it, if you split it half, split it half!"
Zhou Shu said angrily, "It's this broken stone. If you want it, I'll give you half of it."
Zhou Shu turned his wrist and took out a silver-white stone.
The stone is about the size of an adult's fist, and its whole body is silver-white like silver, yet it gives people a crystal clear feeling.
If you look carefully, you can even feel that the stone contains a starry sky.
This feeling was very strange, so although Zhou Shu didn't know what the stone was, he still took it away.
Apart from anything else, the appearance of this stone is pretty good if you put it in your study as a paperweight or something.
"Heavenly Refined Stone?"
Yin Changhao's eyes suddenly widened and he said in surprise, "You actually took such a big piece of heavenly stone from Xiao Shunzhi!"
"Is this stone called the Tianlian Stone?"
Zhou Shu said, he really didn’t know.
But it looks like the stone refining is very precious today.
"You don't know?"
"I don't know. I think it looks pretty, so I'm going to take it home as a paperweight."
Zhou Shu said casually.
Yin Changhao looked shocked, and finally gave a thumbs up, "You are brave to use the Heavenly Lian Stone as a paperweight!"
"Is this thing very expensive?"
Zhou Shu asked seemingly casually.
He really didn't know what the stone refining thing was today, and there happened to be someone in front of him who knew it, so of course he had to take the opportunity to ask about it.
Yin Changhao didn't care at all, although he was a little surprised why the other party didn't know about the Heavenly Refining Stone with his cultivation level, but this was not unacceptable.
After all, it is possible that some people are obsessed with martial arts and pay no attention to other things.
"More than just valuable! Heavenly Alchemy Stone is an indispensable material for forging high-quality weapons. It exists in abundance. Let me tell you, such a large piece of Heavenly Alchemy Stone does not have a hundred thousand taels of gold. Don't even think about it.
!"
"One hundred thousand taels of gold?"
Under the mask, Zhou Shu opened his mouth wide.
So, you made a lot of money?
Originally I just wanted to get some interest back for the 10,000 taels of gold I lost, but accidentally, I lost Xiao Shun's 100,000 taels of gold?
"This is a huge profit."
Yin Changhao laughed loudly, "Such a large piece of heavenly refining stone is more than enough to forge a heavenly weapon!"
Even with his status, such a large piece of Heavenly Alchemy Stone is very precious.
After all, gold is easy to talk about, but heavenly stone is hard to find.
The mineral deposits of Tian Lian Stone are already scarce, and due to the wear and tear over the years, the output of Tian Lian Stone has been decreasing day by day.
Even with Yin Changhao's identity, it is not easy to obtain so many heavenly refining stones.
"You said that today's refined stone is an indispensable material for forging high-quality weapons?"
Zhou Shu asked.
He only now realizes his lack of knowledge.
Although he is a weapon-casting apprentice, his weapon-casting skills all come from the Divine Weapon Atlas. To be honest, his own knowledge of weapon-casting is almost non-existent.
He even lacks common sense understanding of imported weapons.
Mainly because Zhou Shu felt that sooner or later he would be able to become a weapon maker through the Divine Weapon Atlas, so he did not deliberately learn about it.
As a result, a talented weapon-making apprentice didn't even recognize the Heavenly Refining Stone. If people found out about this, wouldn't they laugh out loud?
"Yeah."
Yin Changhao said casually that this time he did not educate Zhou Shu on the knowledge of soldier casting. In his opinion, that had nothing to do with today's events.
"Brother, we stole the stone today as a partnership. According to the rules, half of it must be mine, right?"
Yin Changhao stared at the Heavenly Refining Stone in Zhou Shu's hand and said earnestly.
"Give you half."
Zhou Shu didn't bother, he just gave him half of it. Anyway, what he gained tonight was more than just this piece of heavenly refining stone.
Having said that, without Yin Changhao, I might not be able to succeed.
"Only the Weapon Master can divide the Celestial Stone. Neither of us are Weapon Masters. How about this? Brother, how about you sell me your half of the Celestial Stone?"
Yin Changhao said.
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, only the armorer can divide it?
He exerted a little force on his hands to refine the stone that day, but it didn't move at all.
His current strength is more than a thousand kilograms, and he can easily leave fingerprints on iron blocks. However, there was no change at all when the stone was refined that day. It was indeed extremely strong.
"What price are you going to pay for it?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"I just said that such a large piece of heavenly stone has a market price of one hundred thousand taels of gold."
Yin Changhao said, "How about I give you fifty thousand taels of gold, and then this heavenly refining stone belongs to me?"
Zhou Shu was a little surprised. He had previously obtained a heavenly weapon from Xiao Shunzhi and Shen Yue, which was only worth ten thousand taels of gold.
Such a piece of heavenly refining stone is equivalent to ten heavenly weapons?
It's a bit funny to say that Zhou Shu is obviously an expert in making weapons, but he really doesn't understand the actual situation.
There are also differences between good and bad weapons of heavenly quality.
Ordinary heaven-grade weapons are worth ten thousand taels of gold, but top-notch heaven-grade weapons can even be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of gold.
The gap here is larger than the gap between heaven-grade weapons and yellow-grade weapons.
Such a large piece of heavenly refining stone is enough to forge a top-notch heavenly weapon. It is worth one hundred thousand taels of gold, which is not too much.
Of course, even with such a large piece of heavenly refining stone, whether a top-notch heavenly weapon can be cast depends on the skill of the person who forged the weapon.
But no matter what, spending 100,000 taels of gold to buy such a large piece of heavenly refining stone, although it cannot be said to be a profit, it is certainly not a loss.
Zhou Shu was a little hesitant. Fifty thousand taels of gold was already beyond his psychological expectations. However, today's stone refining was a necessary material for forging high-grade weapons. If he sold it to Yin Changhao, he didn't know that he would not have the chance to get it in the future.
Tianlianshi.
But if I keep it, it doesn’t seem to have much effect now.
I still don’t know when I will be promoted to Weapon Master.
But gold, I need it very much now, and I don’t even have the money to renovate the Baron’s Mansion.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Shu made a decision.
"If you can come up with 50,000 taels of gold now, then as you said, if you can't, give up."
Zhou Shu would not follow Yin Changhao to withdraw money. People should not be judged by their appearance. Who knows if Yin Changhao will plot against him behind his back?
"Really, what a coincidence! I really have fifty thousand taels of gold in my possession!"
Yin Changhao said happily, and while he was talking, he took out a stack of banknotes from somewhere.
