When Zhou Shu returned to the inn, Cao Yue had already returned.
He was walking around anxiously, and when he saw Zhou Shu coming back, he immediately pounced on him.
"Uncle, you're back. I thought you had an accident."
Cao Yue said with a worried look.
A smile appeared on Zhou Shu's face and he said, "What accident can happen to me? There are not many people in this world who can kill me."
"How's your search for information going?"
Zhou Shu asked with a smile.
"Uncle, I have inquired about it. A lot of things have happened in Dongjiabao this year."
Cao Yue said, "The biggest thing among them is, of course, the assassination of the head of the Dong family, and then the marriage of the Dong family's daughter. Another thing is that the Dong family wants to recruit a group of apprentices."
Cao Yue said with some excitement, "I have inquired about it. The Dong family has a workshop that is specially used to make weapons. The long spears used by the Dong family knights we met before were made in the workshop.
”
"The Dongjia Workshop is recruiting apprentices. Uncle, I can sneak in and find out the news. When the time comes, we should cooperate inside and outside..."
Cao Yue's eyes flashed with light. Ever since the knights of the Dong family went on a killing spree in Jieqiao Village, Cao Yue hated the Dong family deeply.
Whenever he talked about the Dong family, Cao Yue wanted to destroy the Dong family immediately.
Until now, Cao Yue still thought that Zhou Shu brought him here deliberately to deal with the Dong family.
Of course, Cao Yue’s idea cannot be said to be wrong.
Zhou Shu really wants to deal with the Dong family now, but his reason for dealing with the Dong family is different from what Cao Yue thought.
"Sneaking into Dong's workshop?"
Zhou Shu touched his chin and said in deep thought, "This is a good idea."
Hearing Zhou Shu's praise, Cao Yue seemed even more excited.
"Uncle, I have thought about it. If I can become an apprentice in the Dong family's workshop, I can secretly destroy their weapons. In this way, when we take action one day, we can use the flaws of their weapons to deal with them.
”
Cao Yue said with confidence.
Zhou Shu smiled and said nothing. Cao Yue was just starting out, so there was no need to dampen his enthusiasm.
Only if he practices the method he comes up with himself can he know whether it will work.
"Now that you have an idea, let's go for it."
After a while, Zhou Shu said, "If you can accomplish this, then you can leave the army."
"Then I really went?"
Cao Yue said.
Cao Yue went to Dongjia Workshop to apply for a job, but Zhou Shu did not stop him.
Young people always have to go through ups and downs before they can grow.
And Zhou Shu knew that before long, the Dong family would be in trouble.
When the time comes, I can just go to the Dongjia Workshop and bring Cao Yue back.
Now, for Zhou Shu, it is just a matter of waiting and watching.
When Mu Zhixing's incarnation takes action, it's time for him to fish in troubled waters and get back the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
Before that, Zhou Shu still had to make some preparations.
……
Dongjiabao, in a not bad inn.
A figure was sitting in a guest room. On the table in front of him, he drew a map with tea.
If someone from the Dong family were present at this time, they would definitely be able to tell that the map is the map of the Dong family’s base camp.
Mu Zhixing has never been to the Dong family's base camp, but he can draw a map out of thin air. If the Dong family knew this, they would definitely be shocked.
"In recent days, the Dong family's defense has been strengthened several times."
The incarnation of Mu Zhixing talked to himself somewhat depressedly.
It had been a while since he came to the Dong Family Fort. He had already planned it. However, just when he was about to take action, the Dong Family's defense suddenly strengthened several times.
This made all his original plans useless.
"Damn it, first someone suddenly assassinated the head of the Dong family, which ruined my plan once. What bastard caused trouble this time?"
Mu Zhixing frowned, "It seems that nothing major has happened to the Dong family these days."
"Is it possible that the Dong family found traces of the assassin? But judging from their appearance, they didn't seem to have caught the assassin. Instead, they seemed to be frightened by the assassin."
Mu Zhixing thought helplessly, "I don't know who came here to assassinate the head of the Dong family because he was full and had nothing to do. Why did you kill him?"
"If you have a grudge against the Dong family, then come to me. Let's work together to deal with the Dong family. Wouldn't that be more effective with half the effort?"
Mu Zhixing muttered to himself for a long time, but still looked helplessly at the map on the table.
No matter how much you complain, you still have to do what needs to be done.
Now that the Dong family's defense has been strengthened, it will not be that easy to achieve the goal.
However, this does not trouble him Mu Zhixing.
I think back then, he broke into Guanghan Palace, which was just a Dong Family Fort.
Mu Zhixing smiled when he thought of the trip to Guanghan Palace.
Zhou Shu, Zhou Shu, forgive me for being cunning and cunning, but you still drink my foot-washing water?
But brother, I’m pretty happy with it. I promised you reinforcements, but I’ll send them all to you!
"Then let the Dong family see what I can do with Mu Zhi Xing!"
Mu Zhixing said to himself, his fingers dropped heavily, and a little water stain spread on the table, instantly annihilating all the maps of Dongjiabao.
……
"Brother Jian, do you think that assassin is really that bold and dares to sneak into our house?"
In Dongjiabao, in front of the gate of the Dong family's base camp, Dong Qinglong and Dong Jian stood there like two door gods, watching the passers-by warily.
"How do I know? We don't even know the assassin's true identity now!"
Dong Jian said angrily, "Besides, he even dared to assassinate the head of the family. Do you think there is anything else that he wouldn't dare to do?"
Dong Jian was also a little depressed. Speaking of which, he had seen that assassin more than once!
Obviously, he had a chance to catch the opponent in those two times. In that case, he would have made a great contribution.
However, he still missed out on the credit that was presented to him.
He couldn't even figure out whether the assassin he saw twice was the true face of the assassin. This kind of frustration made Dong Jian feel like he wanted to go crazy every time he thought about it.
"That's true."
Dong Qinglong touched his chin and said, "His ability to transform into other people is really weird. Now it makes people panic. When I see a person, I will doubt whether it is real or fake. If I don't give him this as soon as possible,
If you arrest them, we won’t even dare to do anything.”
Not only Dong Qinglong has this feeling, but everyone in the Dong family has it!
They have never heard of this magical power, and they don't know how to crack it.
Now we can only rely on mutual understanding to determine whether the other party is one of our own or the assassin.
Just like Dong Qinglong and Dong Jian before.
But this method is not very reliable. After all, not everyone has a very familiar hair.
As a result, many members of the Dong family who were unable to prove their innocence were temporarily isolated in a courtyard.
Now the entire Dong family is in panic, and even normal life has been affected.
Otherwise, no matter how wealthy the Dong family is, they would not be able to let two powerful men from the Cave Heaven Realm come to see the gate.
Now, there are really few people that the Dong family can completely trust.
"Boom——"
The two were chatting, when suddenly a loud noise sounded in the southwest corner of the Dong family's base camp.
I saw a pillar of light rising into the sky, followed by a streak of smoke?
"What's going on? What happened?"
The expressions of both of them changed at the same time, their bodies trembled slightly, and they almost stood up, but at the critical moment, they remembered their responsibilities.
"Qinglong, be careful of your plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Dong Jian's eyes were filled with the light of wisdom.
Dong Qinglong, I deeply agree.
"An innate divine weapon, an innate divine weapon has been born!"
In the distance, a sound of surprise came.
Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong looked at each other, and they both recognized that it was the voice of brothers in the clan.
The two of them were heartbroken, but they thought about their responsibilities and did not dare to leave their posts without permission.
After more than half an hour, the two finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Qinglong, you wait here, I'll go over and see what's going on!"
Dong Jian opened his mouth and said.
"No, Brother Jian, you have seen the assassin with your own eyes. You are more familiar with him. Only by staying here can you prevent him from sneaking into our Dong family."
Dong Qinglong shook his head and said, "I'd better go over and see what happened."
"Qinglong, don't you even listen to me being an elder brother?"
Dong Jian's face darkened.
"Haven't you seen the assassin?"
"I've seen it once, Brother Jian, but you've seen it twice."
Dong Qinglong said without fear.
Just now, the two brothers were on good terms, but now they are glaring at each other and refusing to give in.
"Brother Jian, in terms of strength, I am stronger than you. It is very likely that something happened over there. If I go there, I can still help."
Dong Qinglong said.
Dong Jian was furious, "You can help me in the past, but I can't?"
"Qinglong, I used to think you were a younger brother. I always gave in to you when we were competing. Do you really think you are better than me?"
"How about we compare?"
Dong Qinglong is disdainful.
"Bibi, just Bibi!"
Dong Jian shouted angrily.
"Nonsense!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, startling the two of them.
The two of them heard the sound and looked around, only to see an old man with white hair and beard walking towards them.
"Great Elder!"
The expressions of the two people changed, and they suddenly became silent and said honestly.
"Let you two come and watch. Don't let outsiders sneak into our Dongjia Fort. What are you two arguing about here?"
The eldest elder of the Dong family shouted coldly.
"It's not——"
Dong Jian explained somewhat submissively.
"Great Elder, Brother Jian is right. We are just worried that something will happen over there, so we are discussing who should go over and have a look..."
Dong Qinglong also echoed the sentiment.
"Don't worry about the things you shouldn't worry about."
The eldest elder of the Dong family said displeasedly.
"Great Elder, I heard someone shouting about the innate magic weapon. Did that assassin appear? That assassin has an extremely powerful innate magic weapon in his hand."
Dong Jian asked in a low voice.
"Not an assassin."
The eldest elder of the Dong family shook his head and said. Seeing the curious looks of the two people, and considering that they were also elders of the Dong family, and their identities had been verified, they did not hide it, so he said, "It's a little thief who stole it from somewhere."
I took an innate magic weapon, and then not very much activated the power of the innate magic weapon, destroying a few houses."
"Stealing an innate magic weapon?"
Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong’s eyes lit up.
As the elders of the Dong family, the two of them are dignified cave-tian realm experts, but they don’t even have an innate magic weapon in their hands. Where did a little thief steal the innate magic weapon?
"Great Elder, that innate magic weapon?"
Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong swallowed their saliva and asked at the same time.
"Of course I have brought you back."
The Great Elder said, "When this matter is settled later, I will choose a suitable master among you for this innate divine weapon."
After the eldest elder of the Dong family finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and continued walking into the Dong family's base camp.
Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
Innate divine weapons, those are innate divine weapons!
They are not the only two elders of the Dong family who do not have innate magic weapons. The elder said to choose a suitable person, so how to choose?
Dong Jian was secretly angry. If he had caught the assassin before, there was no doubt that this innate weapon must be his.
But now, since he has not made any achievements, it is not certain whether he can obtain the innate magic weapon.
"Brother Jian, this innate magic weapon must be mine."
Dong Qinglong said in a low voice.
"Dream!"
Dong Jian snorted coldly.
The two of them looked at each other, snorted coldly, and then turned their heads away, unwilling to look at each other.
Both of them forgot that just now, the eldest elder of the Dong family, they both forgot to verify each other's identity.
Not far away on the street corner, at an open-air tea stall, Zhou Shu was holding a bowl of tea, with a look of helplessness on his face.
I really think highly of the Dong family.
The IQ of the Dong family is really...
It’s hard to describe in one word…
You clearly put on a show of heightened vigilance, but in the end, Mu Zhixing got his way?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The old man just now was the eldest elder of the Dong family?
The dignified eldest elder of the Dong family, is this what he is?
Directly brought a problematic innate magic weapon home?
Isn't this equivalent to bringing a bomb into your own home?
Do you think you can’t die soon enough?
Zhou Shu was thoughtful, guessing Mu Zhixing's purpose.
Even though he only looked at it from a distance, as a weapons master, Zhou Shu still saw that there was something wrong with the innate magic weapon obtained by the Dong family elder.
Needless to say, this must be Mu Zhixing's method.
Mu Zhixing is a mysterious guy, and it’s not surprising that he has some strange abilities.
"Mu Zhixing, do you want to use this innate magic weapon to position yourself?"
The light in Zhou Shu's eyes flashed. He put himself in Mu Zhixing's shoes and wondered what he would do if he were Mu Zhixing.
"Mu Zhixing sent the innate magic weapon to the Dong family. He can sense the location of the innate magic weapon from a long distance. Is this necessary?"
Zhou Shu pondered.
His Heavenly Emperor Sword also fell into the Dong family.
He can now sense the location of the Emperor's Sword, and he has already done what Mu Zhixing wanted to do.
So what can he do with this?
Zhou Shu tried his best to guess Mu Zhixing’s purpose.
"Then the eldest elder of the Dong family brought the innate magic weapons back to the Dong family, either to keep them on his own body, or to put the innate magic weapons into the Dong family's treasure house."
Zhou Shu murmured to himself, "Is it possible that Mu Zhixing wants to take advantage of the Dong family's treasure house?"
"The Dong family has been searching so hard, even the elders of the Cave Heaven Realm don't have an innate magic weapon. What good things can they have in their treasure house?"
"Unless the Dong family has something that may not be valuable, but is useful to Mu Zhixing!"
Zhou Shu felt that he was already close to the truth.
Zhou Shu also knows a little about Mu Zhixing. Despite his usual indifferent appearance, ordinary things cannot catch his eye.
Even if he wanted to loot a family's treasure house, he would not target a family like the Dong family.
Speaking of which, based on Zhou Shu's understanding of the Dong family, Zhou Shu didn't have much interest in the Dong family's treasure house.
The Dong family is too poor...
It is impossible for Mu Zhixing to spend so much effort just to gain a treasure trove for a family that is so poor.
But having said that, the Dong family is poor, but after all, they are one of the nine surnames of Zhu Rong, with a long heritage.
It’s not surprising that there is some heritage in the family.
"This is a coincidence."
Zhou Shu said to himself, "Mu Zhixing came here for something belonging to the Dong family, and I also came here to get back my Heavenly Emperor Sword."
"Then let's see what means Mu Zhixing has to take out the things after determining the location of the Dong family's treasure house."
Zhou Shu's eyes moved around, trying to find the incarnation of Mu Zhixing, but he looked around and didn't find him.
In the following days, Zhou Shu would come to this tea stall to drink tea every day and observe the activities in the Dong family's base camp.
To his surprise, there was no movement at the Dong family's base camp in the past few days.
"Is my guess wrong?"
Zhou Shu had some doubts in his heart, "Or is it that Mu Zhixing has achieved his goal without anyone noticing?"
"This shouldn't be the case."
Zhou Shu said to himself, "Is the Dong family really that stupid? No one notices that something is lost in the treasure house?"
Zhou Shu didn't think that if the Dong family lost something, it would be so peaceful. They would definitely search vigorously. This is their base camp, and they would not have the slightest scruple at all.
That only shows that Mu Zhixing is more patient than he thought. He is still waiting for the opportunity.
Suddenly, Zhou Shu saw a group of dozens of people coming from the street to the door of the Dong family's base camp.
"Apprentice from Dong's workshop?"
Zhou Shu saw Cao Yue among the crowd at a glance, and at the same time he also sensed the aura belonging to his Transformation of Freedom.
That’s it!
It turns out that Mu Zhixing planned to join the Dong family among the apprentices recruited by the Dong family workshop.
However, when the Dongjia Workshop recruits apprentices, they carefully investigate the identity of the apprentices. Cao Yue's current identity was carefully forged by Zhou Shu.
Is it possible that Mu Zhixing also knows magical powers similar to the ever-changing ones?
Otherwise, why would he think he could deceive the Dong family?
"Is it possible that the Dong Family Workshop recruits apprentices for another purpose?"
Zhou Shu frowned. Cao Yue came back from inquiring about the Dong family workshop, but Zhou Shu didn't think much about it.
Thinking about it now, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
This area of thousands of miles is controlled by the Dong family, and there are countless people with the original surname of the Dong family. If the Dong family workshop needs apprentices, is it necessary to recruit them from outside?
A weapons-casting workshop, a new apprentice who has just been recruited, brought to the Dong family’s base camp, and for what purpose?
This is simply superfluous and unnecessary!
Unless the Dong family recruits these apprentices for another purpose, and they are needed in the Dong family’s base camp!
