134. Jiancheng, Assassin

 "I heard you right, are you threatening me?"

Zhou Shu looked at Shen Yue and said, "Did you not understand the situation?"

"You are the one who didn't understand the situation."

Shen Yue sneered and looked at his arms.

Zhou Shu's eyes moved and he stretched out his hand into Shen Yue's arms.

Then, he touched a conch-shaped stone.

"This is the sound transmission stone." Shen Yue said coldly, "The sound transmission stone is a male and a female. They can transmit sounds even though they are thousands of miles apart. What we just said has been transmitted through this female stone."

"I can tell you that the majestic stone is in the hands of my great master of the Wei Dynasty." A flash of lust flashed in Shen Yue's eyes, so what if he hides it deeply? I haven't caught him yet!

"As long as I die, your secret will spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City tomorrow. By then, everyone will know that you, Lord Zhou Shu, are a strong man above the third level of martial arts!"

"A martial arts master deliberately disguises himself as a weapon-making apprentice and shows off his ninth-level martial arts cultivation. Do you think Emperor Yuan Feng will doubt you? Will the ministers of Daxia doubt you?"

"The Daxia Dragon Bird Sword and the Zhanma Dao were not developed by you, were they? You are deliberately trying to please Daxia, do you think they will appreciate it?"

Shen Yue still had the same fear as before, and he no longer looked forward to death, but looked at Zhou Shu with a proud face.

He acted like that when he first came up, just to buy time to activate the sounding stone.

Now, he believed that Zhou Shu would not dare to kill him!

Zhou Shu's expression was calm, and he didn't get angry like he would after someone revealed his secret.

"What you said makes sense."

Zhou Shu nodded and said.

This is one of the reasons why he has never revealed his cultivation.

Because he can't explain the origin of his cultivation, genius has its limits.

Yin Wuyou is a genius. She started practicing martial arts at the age of three, and with the imperial court's generous supply of resources, it still took her more than ten years to reach the third level of martial arts.

Qingzhou Lu Wenshuang, known as the number one martial arts genius in Great Xia, received top-notch training almost from birth, which allowed him to become a teenage martial arts master.

Their martial arts path can be said to have been built with countless resources, which requires them to have talents that are rare to see in thousands of years.

What does Zhou Shu have?

For three generations, they have been the lowest-level soldier-making apprentices, and their savings in several lifetimes have not even amounted to a hundred taels of silver.

Such a person has a cultivation level above the third level of martial arts before he is twenty?

Where did his cultivation come from?

Anyone else would be suspicious.

It is completely unreasonable for someone with such a high level of cultivation to be willing to be an apprentice in weapon casting.

Coupled with what happened to Zhu Chuanfeng before, I am afraid that Emperor Yuan Feng will immediately doubt whether those Daxia Dragon Bird Swords were developed by Zhou Shu himself, or were they taken from others by force?

Otherwise, why would he hide his cultivation?

Who would believe that Zhou Shu went from an ordinary soldier-making apprentice to a peerless cultivation level in just a few months?

It’s okay if you don’t believe it, but it would be even more troublesome if you really believed it.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by something that can allow an ordinary person to achieve peerless cultivation in just a few months?

This is why Shen Yue is so confident. He is confident, and Zhou Shu doesn't want to expose his cultivation at all.

This is Zhou Shu's excuse, he can't help but obey!

Shen Yue had even thought of using this secret to threaten Zhou Shu into becoming Wei's secret agent when he went to kill Mi Ziwen, and even manipulated him to assassinate Emperor Yuan Feng!

"I really don't want my secret to be exposed."

Zhou Shu continued, "I think we can cooperate. For example, you call Xiao Shunzhi and we rob the princess's mansion together?"

Shen Yue squinted his eyes and stared at Zhou Shu, trying to see if he was serious.

Zhou Shu looked calm.

Shen Yue snorted coldly, "Is the princess's mansion so easy to rob?"

"Zhou, if you don't want your secret to be exposed, you'd better let me go first."

"Shen Yue, you seem to have made a mistake."

Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "My secret has been exposed. The worst I can do is leave Daxia. With my strength, I won't be able to go anywhere in the world. But you are different. If my secret is exposed, you will die."

Shen Yue paused for a moment, but he had forgotten about this incident.

"Humph, of course you can leave, but your plan in Daxia has failed!"

Shen Yue absolutely didn't believe that Zhou Shu did this just for the sake of playing prostitution!

He must have a serious conspiracy to hide in Daxia like this.

"We don't have to test each other anymore."

Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "Since we both have leverage in each other's hands, it's simpler. If we can cooperate, we can cooperate. If we can't, we can break up!"

Shen Yue's brows furrowed and he clapped his eyes together?

Then he could just walk away, but wouldn't he be dead?

"How do you want to collaborate?"

Shen Yue asked. Unknowingly, the initiative returned to Zhou Shu's hands.

"Do you think you are qualified to discuss cooperation with me?"

Zhou Shu sneered and said, "Take me to see Xiao Shunzhi, I want to talk to him."

A vague cold light flashed deep in Zhou Shu's eyes, is he a first-class martial artist?

He wanted to try it, the world's supreme giant sword, could kill the supreme first-level martial arts master!

Shen Yue didn't know what Zhou Shu was thinking. He frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "My envoy from Wei Dynasty has left Daxia and is on its way back. The Imperial Master is already nearly a thousand miles away from Chang'an at this moment."

"The Wei envoy has left, and you stay here to cause trouble?"

Zhou Shu looked at Shen Yue and said.

Shen Yue sneered. At this time, he had no need to hide anything.

"Mizi Wen killed my eldest brother. If I didn't kill him, how could I leave? Originally, I thought about killing you first to recover some interest——"

Unexpectedly, the boat capsized in the gutter!

Shen Yue thought.

"Miziwen killed your eldest brother?"

Zhou Shu's heart moved slightly, "Is your father the Minister of War in the Wei Dynasty?"

Shen Yue said nothing, but looking at his arrogant look, it was obvious that he acquiesced.

"You come from a famous family." Zhou Shu said casually, "If Mi Ziwen killed your eldest brother, wouldn't that help you? He will not be able to compete with you for inheritance rights in the future."

Shen Yue's face darkened, "I am the eldest son!"

Although his eldest brother is the elder, he is a concubine. Otherwise, he would not have been sent as an undercover agent.

The son of a concubine does not have much status.

But even if he was a concubine, he was still Shen Yue’s eldest brother, and he couldn’t just die like this!

Zhou Shu didn't care much about these things. He looked at Shen Yue and said, "It's only a thousand miles away. We can catch up."

"Call your people, let's go after Xiao Shunzhi now."

Zhou Shu said, "Don't tell me that you can't catch up. If that happens, we'll just break up."

Shen Yue's face became a little ugly. Why didn't things develop according to his plan?

Why does this person named Zhou feel so confident?

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yue sadly discovered that facing a master suspected of being a martial arts master, he seemed to have no choice at all.

Even if you try your best, you have no chance!

He never imagined that after spending so much effort and cost to hide from Daxia's city defense, he would stumble in front of a person!

After Shen Yue gathered all his people, Zhou Shu found that there were not many of them. Except for the two he killed, there were only five people left.

This is normal. After all, they cannot have too many manpower in Chang'an City.

Moreover, in their plan, apart from Zhou Shu, a ninth-grade warrior, there are no other first-grade warriors in the Baron Mansion.

And the seven people they came with, whose cultivation levels ranged from fourth-grade martial arts to eighth-grade martial arts, could completely control the Baron Mansion quietly.

After all, this newly promoted baronial mansion is the one with the weakest defensive power in Chang'an City.

Now that his identity had been exposed in front of Zhou Shu, Shen Yue did not continue to hide it.

They directly used their retreat, left Chang'an City, followed the planned route, and rushed to catch up with Xiao Shunzhi.

Zhou Shu gained a lot of knowledge along the way.

In Chang'an City, which has been raided by the Shenhua Division and the Huben Army, there are still many spies from the Wei Dynasty hiding.

How to say this?

It can only be said that the wildfire will not burn out, but the spring breeze will blow it again.

Zhou Shu also asked Shen Yue what happened to the servants in his house.

Shen Yue did not kill all of those people. Most of them were locked up in the woodshed. Only a few who resisted fiercely were killed.

Zhou Shu didn't react at all on the surface, but in his heart he was already thinking of killing people like Shen Yue.

Do these people behave so recklessly in Daxia’s capital because they think Daxia is easy to bully?

I don’t know if Daxia can easily bully him, but he, Zhou Shu, is not easy to bully!

Shen Yue stayed in Chang'an to take revenge and was fully prepared.

They specially arranged for some good BMW horses to be outside the city.

These are the best war horses in the Wei Dynasty. They can travel thousands of miles a day without any problems.

Zhou Shu was not too surprised by the speed of the fast horses. There were even warriors here, and it was not surprising that the horses were stronger than in the previous life.

I heard that there are monsters in this world, and the Demon-Slaying Army is specifically designed to deal with monsters, but Zhou Shu has not seen them yet.

With the fast horse arranged by Shen Yue to travel, Zhou Shu could just recharge his batteries.

A war horse can travel thousands of miles a day, and that's just the fastest theoretical speed.

Shen Yue's identity was shady, so it was impossible for him to act openly and openly. It took them five days to cross mountains and ridges before they saw the shadow of the Wei delegation.

At this time, the Wei envoys had already reached the border between Wei and Daxia.

In the past five days, the capital has been in chaos.

Time goes back to the day after Zhou Shu and Shen Yue left Chang'an. In the imperial study room of the Daxia Palace, Emperor Yuan Feng looked very ugly.

"Tell me, how many times has this happened?"

Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty was like a volcano on the verge of erupting. Originally, the recovery of Youzhou and Bingzhou was a great event worthy of national celebration, but unexpectedly, he had just sent away the Youzhou and Bingzhou armies, and was hit in the head when he turned back.

In front of him, Ma Fengzhang, the commander-in-chief of the Divine Catcher Division, and all the generals in the National Protectorate Army lowered their heads and looked ashamed.

"Over and over again, those spies from other countries come and go at will in Chang'an City, as if they are in no one's land. Tell me, what do you do for food!"

"If you can't do it, then tell me and I'll replace it with someone else!"

Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty slapped the table hard, and with a crash, the table was shattered into pieces.

"Wei Chen knows his crime!"

Ma Fengzhang and others were all startled and said.

"Your Majesty, I will count the troops right now and we will definitely rescue the Zhou County man!"

A general of the National Defense Army said.

"Rescue him? What did you do when he was kidnapped!"

Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty said angrily, "Is this how you see the city gate of Chang'an entrusted to you? Will one day, my head is taken away, and they can walk out of the city in a dignified manner?"

The general was so frightened that he fell silent.

"I ask you, a baron was kidnapped from his own house. Who did it? How did it happen? Have you found out?"

Emperor Yuan Feng gasped and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I have neglected my duty."

Ma Fengzhang sighed in his heart. Needless to say, this was his fault again.

In the last Zhu Chuanfeng incident, when Zhou Shu was kidnapped out of the capital, the Divine Catcher Division had already been arrested.

Who knew, this kind of thing would happen again!

Zhou Shu, why do you like the robbers so much?

Ma Fengzhang was thinking in his mind and said, "After receiving the news, I immediately sent someone to investigate. The servants in the Baron's Mansion did not see the face of the attacker, but I found two corpses at the scene, one of which had a face."

It is impossible to identify the other body. The other body died after taking poison, so it must be that of a dead man."

"Nonsense!"

Emperor Feng of Yuan Dynasty said angrily.

Ma Fengzhang knew that Emperor Yuan Feng was angry, so he did not dare to talk nonsense and continued, "I found out the identity of the dead man, he is——"

"What is it?" Emperor Yuan Feng said impatiently.

"He's from the General's Mansion."

Ma Fengzhang whispered.

"People from the General's Palace?"

Emperor Yuan Feng was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "This is impossible!"

Ma Fengzhang pursed his lips. He didn't want to believe it, but it was true.

"It's absolutely true. If I don't have full confidence, I don't dare to speak nonsense."

General Meng Bai is the well-deserved military god of Daxia. He has made great achievements in battle. It can even be said that without him, Daxia would not be what it is today.

The most important thing is that General Meng and Emperor Yuan Feng grew up together since childhood. He is loyal to Emperor Yuan Feng and it is impossible to betray him.

"The general will never betray me!"

Emperor Yuan Feng said coldly, "His house must have been infiltrated by spies!"

Is this possible?

Ma Fengzhang doesn't know.

Who is the general?

Is there a spy lurking in the house of the mighty Great Xia Military God?

It’s incredible to think about it. If he couldn’t even discover this, would he still be the God of War in Great Xia?

But it is impossible to say that the general knows.

The general is still on the battlefield in the south, why did he deal with Zhou Shu?

As a general, if you really deal with Zhou Shu, will you leave such a clue?

"Ma Fengzhang, come and investigate this matter yourself!"

Emperor Yuan Feng said coldly, "I don't care what method you use, you must find out who kidnapped Zhou Shu! And I want you to rescue Zhou Shu at all costs!"

"My lord, take your orders."

Ma Fengzhang said helplessly, "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the young Marquis of Weiyuan Marquis are going out of the capital to track down Zhou Shu's whereabouts. Do you want me to——"

Emperor Yuan Feng's face darkened, "Don't worry about them, just investigate your case and save your people!"

"Yes!"

Ma Fengzhang lowered his head and said, not daring to stay any longer. After resigning, he immediately left the palace and began the investigation.
