Seeing Xiao Zongshui's body fall to the ground, Zhou Shu didn't feel much in his heart.
Xiao Zongshui was not the first person he killed, nor would he be the last.
In fact, killing Xiao Zongshui now is not a good choice.
However, Zhou Shu still did not hesitate at all.
His principles have never changed. If someone wants to harm him, he will strike first without any hesitation!
From the moment Xiao Zongshui and Zhen Cai planned to kidnap him, their fate was already doomed.
Moreover, now that Xiao Zongshui sees his strength, it is naturally even more impossible for him to survive.
As for Zhou Shu not getting the information he wanted out of him, that's not the point.
From beginning to end, Zhou Shu didn't care much about Zhu Chuanfeng's purpose.
All he needs to know is that Zhu Chuanfeng has bad intentions!
And even if Xiao Zongshui dies, isn’t there still Zhen Cai here?
Compared to a cunning guy like Xiao Zongshui, although Zhen Cai has a higher level of cultivation, his city is not that deep.
Zhou Shu clearly remembered how he could make Zhen Cai furious with just a few words before. How could it be possible in Xiao Zongshui's place?
Xiao Zongshui is the kind of person who may not react even if you scold him in person, but will only stab you in the back.
Throwing Xiao Zongshui's body aside, Zhou Shu repeated his old trick and used the true shape diagram of the Five Mountains to stimulate Zhen Cai to wake up.
"Did you sneak attack on me?"
Zhen Cai opened his eyes and the first thing he said was to shout.
He didn't even see clearly who the person in front of him was, so he jumped up and grabbed forward with both hands as fast as lightning.
The reaction of a ninth-level warrior is indeed faster than that of a lower-level warrior. This catch is as fast as lightning. Even a warrior of the same level can only temporarily avoid the edge when faced with this move.
However, Zhou Shu is not a ninth-grade warrior. He is quick in selecting talents, and Zhou Shu’s movements are even faster.
"Pa—"
With a crisp sound, Zhen Cai kept his hands stretched forward, his head was twisted to one side by the huge force, and his whole body fell heavily to the ground.
Five clear finger prints appeared on the right side of Zhen Cai's face.
Zhen Cai was completely stunned.
Since he became a top-grade warrior, although he has been defeated in battles, it was an honor to lose, and he has never been slapped in the face?
Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!
Zhen Cai was furious.
"Bang——"
Just as he was about to jump up, a foot fell from the sky and stepped on his chest.
Zhen Cai felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. The strength on his body was directly crushed away. He struggled hard, but his foot could not move at all.
"Zhen Cai, a question. Zhu Chuanfeng, why do you want to accept me as your disciple at any cost?"
Zhou Shu said coldly.
"It's you?!"
At this time, Zhen Cai saw that the person stepping on his chest turned out to be Zhou Shu!
"Are you a top-grade warrior?"
Zhen Cai's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
"I'm asking you, not you!"
Zhou Shu said coldly.
"What's weird? Master wants to be rewarded with a military parade, so accepting you as his disciple is the easiest way."
Zhen Cai said without any hesitation, "Why are you a top-grade warrior? The master didn't say anything!"
For Zhen Cai, it seems that the first sentence is not a secret at all, but the latter sentence is more important to him.
"Want a reward for the military parade? Taking me as your disciple is the easiest way?"
Zhou Shu frowned. What does the preface and the follower mean?
Zhen Cai's brain is really a bit hard to use.
"First tell me clearly what the rewards for the military parade are, and then I will tell you why I am a qualified warrior."
Zhou Shu said.
"What do you mean?" Zhen Cai said, "The Holy One allows you to participate in the military parade, and the master said that you may get a reward. The reward will be useful to the master. If he accepts you as his disciple, you have to dedicate the reward to the master.
”
Zhen Cai said a bunch of things, and Zhou Shu asked a few more questions, but Zhen Cai didn't pay much attention to this matter, so he didn't know the specific details.
In the end, Zhen Cai became impatient.
"Are you done yet! If my master wants to accept you as his disciple, it will be like smoke rising from your ancestral grave! Don't you know how to appreciate it!"
"Also, aren't you a weapon-making apprentice? Why did you suddenly become a top-grade warrior?"
He is persevering in selecting materials, and he really cares about this even more.
"Do you know why?"
Zhou Shu said, "Because I am a genius!"
Zhou Shu stopped talking nonsense and moved the true shape map of the Five Mountains again. The huge spiritual power suddenly impacted Zhen Cai's sea of consciousness.
Zhen Cai's eyes suddenly widened, and then his eyes began to wander.
Zhou Shu frowned. The only useful information he got from these two people was that Zhu Chuanfeng wanted to accept him as his disciple, and it had something to do with the military parade.
Did the emperor allow himself to participate in the military parade?
Zhou Shu had some doubts in his heart, is this true or false?
I never heard that military apprentices can also participate in the military parade.
Even Zhen Cai doesn’t look like someone who can lie.
Even if the emperor really allows himself to participate in the military parade, what is the reward?
The amount of information was too small, and Zhou Shu could not analyze anything at all.
In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it and mentioned the bodies of Xiao Zongshui and Zhen Cai. Zhou Shu left the woodshed, avoided the sight of the people inside the brothel, and quickly disappeared into the night.
……
When the first ray of sunlight rose, a maid was walking in the corridor carrying a basin. Suddenly there was a creak in front of her, the door opened, and a man walked out cautiously.
When the maid saw the man's face, her face suddenly turned red.
In this brothel, although you can see many men every day, there are really not many who are so handsome.
I saw the handsome man put his index finger to his lips and let out a hiss.
Before the maid could react, the handsome man had already walked out.
"The girl with red sleeves must have been extremely happy last night..."
The maid glanced at the room where the handsome man came out. There was no movement in the room, and the maid muttered secretly.
When Zhou Shu walked out of the brothel gate, Cheng Yong and others were nowhere to be seen. It was not known whether they stayed here last night or went back to their respective homes.
After dumping the body last night, Zhou Shu came back to the brothel again in order to avoid suspicion, mainly because if he didn't come here, he had nowhere else to go.
But after returning to the brothel, he naturally had another battle between heaven and man.
Not every man can do it while remaining pregnant.
Besides, last night was no longer a matter of peace and quiet. A beautiful woman with stunning beauty was lying there for you to pick. Who could bear it?
Anyway, Zhou Shu almost couldn't bear it. He spent the whole night practicing the visualization of the true forms of the Five Mountains. Otherwise, he would really turn into a wolf——
Although it doesn't matter what he does, this kind of place is not meant to be...
But when faced with the unconscious woman, he really couldn't do anything.
After leaving the brothel, Zhou Shu walked all the way out of the city gate and was about to return to Workshop Zero. Suddenly something happened in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he turned around and strode in one direction.
……
"Generals, listen to the order and break camp!"
Meng Bai was riding on the horse with a calm face and said in a not too loud voice.
"Get the order!"
A sound like thunder sounded, and all the generals rode back to their respective camps, and the army broke out of camp to go to war!
The endless army of troops moved forward slowly, and Sun Pingping was mixed in among them. He had an embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist and was wearing golden armor. He was also very conspicuous among the troops.
Not far away, Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty and hundreds of civil and military officials stood side by side. They came to see off the army.
"Zheng——"
Suddenly, the sound of vibrating strings sounded on the hillside beside the road.
"Wow——"
Almost at the moment when the sound of the piano sounded, countless long bows in the army had been drawn at the same time, pointing towards the hillside.
There were even several figures that flew directly into the sky and rushed towards the hillside.
"Stop!"
Mi Ziwen's voice sounded in time, shouting loudly to silence everyone.
Zhou Shu on the hillside was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
So sloppy!
If he was killed as an assassin, it would be such an unjust death!
He visualized the true shape of the Five Mountains, tried to calm himself down, put his hands on the guqin, and waved the strings.
"Zhengzhengzheng——"
Zhou Shu only learned some guqin playing in a university club in his previous life, but he was only half-experienced.
But in this scene now, at the foot of the mountain is an endless army slowly advancing, and in the distance, there are emperors and important ministers looking over.
Zhou Shu sat on the top of the mountain with fluttering clothes and played the piano with both hands. To put it in a popular way, he was extremely cool!
The exciting sound of the piano spread, and Mi Ziwen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and secretly glanced at his teacher.
Meng Bai was riding on the horse with a somewhat surprised expression, but Mi Ziwen still noticed that there was a special charm flashing in his eyes.
If Yon Ziwen had to explain it, it would be "This kid has a heart."
Mi Ziwen nodded slightly and muttered, "Second brother is interested!"
He held his head high and his chest filled with pride. Don't worry, second brother, we will definitely return in triumph!
In the distance, Emperor Yuan Feng was a little surprised when he heard the sound of the piano.
"You arranged this?"
The important officials in the imperial court shook their heads and denied that it was arranged by them.
"Is that a spontaneous act by the people?" Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty nodded and said, "The relationship between the military and the people in Daxia is still very harmonious."
"Father, I seem to know that person. He is not a commoner, but an official of the imperial court of Daxia..."
Yin Wuyou whispered in Emperor Yuan Feng's ear.
Emperor Yuan Feng was slightly startled, "He's an official? Why haven't I seen him?"
"His official position is too small and he is not qualified to meet the saint." Yin Wuyou said, the head of the workshop is a ninth-grade official, so he can be considered an official. Well, an official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans is also an official, that's right!
"He is the head of a workshop in our Weaponry Division, and his name is Zhou Shu."
"Zhou Shu? That Zhou Shu?"
Emperor Yuan Feng said with some surprise, and then nodded, "He is really interested. General Meng spared no effort to recommend him. He specially came to send the army to the expedition. He can be regarded as a man who knows how to repay his kindness -"
Before Emperor Yuan Feng finished speaking, a song suddenly sounded from the top of the mountain in the distance. The singing was a bit weird, but when paired with the passionate piano music, it unexpectedly made people's blood surge.
"Face the waves with pride"
"Hot blood is like the red sun"
"Courage is like iron and bone is like fine steel
A broad mind and a far-sighted vision"
For a moment, even Emperor Yuan Feng forgot to continue speaking. He listened carefully to the singing and clenched his fists.
