Chang'an, the capital city of Daxia, has always been said to be a city that never sleeps.
There is no curfew here. Even if the moon is at the zenith, the main streets are still bustling with people and pedestrians.
Team after team of city defense troops were constantly patrolling. Near the palace city, the patrols turned into tiger troops.
Someone once made statistics and found that there are as many as 30,000 soldiers patrolling Chang'an City every day.
With so many people patrolling the city, there are almost no blind spots in Chang'an City that they cannot reach.
Of course, no matter how tight the guard is, it cannot be perfect.
As human beings, there are always things to make mistakes.
Zhou Shu stood at the street corner, observing for most of the night, and then he caught the gap between the two groups of patrolling soldiers. His body was like lightning, and in an instant, he climbed over the high wall of Zhu's Mansion.
Like a civet cat, Zhou Shu landed quietly on the ground, imagining the true shape of the Five Mountains in his mind. His aura suddenly became invisible, and his whole person seemed to have turned into a mountain rock.
At this time, even if someone passed by Zhou Shu, they would ignore his existence unless they saw it with their own eyes.
The visualization chart of the true form of the Five Mountains has endless magical uses. Although Zhou Shu is only at the entry level, it is enough for him to travel all over the world and deal with some second-rate masters.
Zhu Chuanfeng's mansion is very large, and there are countless servants and servants inside.
Moreover, there are actually teams of guards patrolling his house!
"The old thief is really extravagant!"
Zhou Shu thought to himself.
But thinking about it, he can understand how it is possible for the master craftsman's house to be without guards?
It’s hard to say what else is in the house of the master weapon craftsman, but there will definitely be a lot of high-quality weapons.
High-grade weapons are extremely valuable. Without guards, the mansion of the master craftsman will be emptied by strong men.
"Sure enough, even a master craftsman cannot have too many top-grade warriors as bodyguards."
High-grade warriors can already obtain official positions. Under normal circumstances, they will not be loyal to anyone easily.
Of course, there will also be some high-level warriors who, in order to improve their strength, will become guests of the master craftsman. This situation is not uncommon.
There is probably such a presence in Zhu Chuanfeng's house.
Zhou Shu circulated the visualization chart of the true forms of the Five Mountains, and his spiritual sense was extremely sharp. He felt that in several places in the Zhu Mansion, there were several auras that made him feel a little dangerous.
Those auras are dormant there like tigers. Once something unexpected happens in the Zhu Mansion, they will definitely explode with unimaginable power.
In addition, among the patrolling guards, Zhou Shu did not find a few high-grade warriors.
"Fortunately, I didn't act rashly. If I really came to assassinate Zhu Chuanfeng, I don't know whether I could succeed. Even if I succeeded, those dangerous auras might be able to hold me back. Once the experts from the imperial court arrive, I think
If you run away, you will be in trouble."
Zhou Shu said secretly in his heart.
However, he did not come here to assassinate Zhu Chuanfeng. As long as he was careful not to disturb those auras, there would not be much danger.
Zhou Shu had never been to Zhu's Mansion before. He didn't know where Zhu Chuanfeng lived, so he could only follow the layout of the mansion and go to a few places where Zhu Chuanfeng's residence was most likely to be.
He silently observed the patrol pattern of the guards. After more than an hour, Zhou Shu started to move like a ghost.
After the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique broke through to the ninth level, his physical strength has reached an incredible level.
What follows is an improvement in overall physical fitness.
Even if he doesn't know how to lighten his body, the speed of his movements is enough to make people jaw-dropping.
One place, two places...
According to his understanding of the layout of the mansion, Zhou Shu found several places one by one that might be Zhu Chuanfeng's residence.
I searched several places but found no trace of Zhu Chuanfeng.
"Old thief Zhu will not be at home tonight, right?"
Zhou Shu looked at the sky and saw that it was already late at night, and in two hours it would be dawn.
If Zhu Chuanfeng could not be found again, he would have to go back first.
"Look for the last place. If you still can't find it, come back tomorrow!"
Zhou Shu had been prepared for a protracted war before he came. It would definitely not be that simple to find Zhu Chuanfeng's handle.
He never thought that he could catch Zhu Chuanfeng by just one night visit.
Seeing the opportunity, Zhou Shu walked quickly against the corner and passed through two or three corridors before arriving at the next place he expected.
The room was dark.
Zhou Shu came to the window and listened for a moment.
There was no sound of breathing in the room, and as far as Zhou Shu could tell, there was no one in the room.
"Sure enough, things are not that easy."
Zhou Shu was not discouraged. He was careful not to leave any traces, and then left the Zhu Mansion.
In the next two days, after nightfall, Zhou Shu would quietly leave his house and sneak into Zhu's Mansion.
On the third day, he finally saw Zhu Chuanfeng in Zhu Mansion!
Zhou Shu used all his strength to visualize the true forms of the Five Mountains, and his whole person seemed to be integrated with nature and disappeared into the darkness.
If no one walks up to him and touches him, it is absolutely impossible to discover his existence.
Not far away, through a crack in the window, Zhou Shu saw Zhu Chuanfeng.
Opposite Zhu Chuanfeng, there was a middle-aged man with an aura as deep as the sea.
"Very strong!"
The moment Zhou Shu saw the middle-aged man, Zhou Shu had already made a judgment.
This middle-aged man is definitely not weaker than the assassin he killed with the Xiuchun Sword!
In other words, he is very likely to be a fifth-grade or even fourth-grade expert!
Zhou Shu approached just now and was almost discovered by him. Fortunately, Zhou Shu activated the visualization chart of the true forms of the Five Mountains in time!
Even so, the middle-aged man still checked the surroundings carefully before returning to the house.
Zhou Shu is now hiding in a dark corner, using the visualization map of the Five Mountains to the extreme. He does not dare to move. If the middle-aged man discovers it, it will be a big battle.
Zhou Shu is not afraid of fighting. After all, he has a higher chance of winning than his opponent.
But tomorrow is the workshop monthly exam. If you still can’t find Zhu Chuanfeng’s secret, you can only passively accept the challenge.
Although Zhou Shu was not afraid of that, he didn't like the feeling of being led by others.
He prefers to take matters into his own hands!
Now that we have finally found Zhu Chuanfeng’s traces, of course we can’t give up easily!
"Have you found out? Was Zhen Cai's death an accident, or was someone deliberately targeting me?"
Zhu Chuanfeng looked at the middle-aged man opposite and said in a deep voice.
Perhaps it's because Zhu Chuanfeng doesn't have the voice to lower his voice in his own house.
"There were no external injuries on Zhen Cai's body." The middle-aged man said with a serious expression, "His death looked very much like his soul was knocked away and died."
"Scatter the soul?"
Zhu Chuanfeng frowned.
"Those who can disperse the spirit without hurting the body must at least be at the level of a master." The middle-aged man said solemnly, "If a master wants to target you, he is unlikely to attack Zhen Cai, just attack him directly."<
/p>
A master of the third level of martial arts, no matter in every aspect, his status is no less than that of a master craftsman of weapons.
If a martial arts master wants to target Zhu Chuanfeng, there is no need to kill a Zhencai. It will not hurt Zhu Chuanfeng at all, but it will look a bit petty.
"In my opinion, Zhen Cai's death is a coincidence. He may have encountered something he shouldn't have encountered."
The middle-aged man said.
In a sense, this world is still very dangerous. If you accidentally run into some strong people who don't want to be seen, there will be no explanation for your death.
"It's really unlucky for people. Even if they drink cold water, their teeth will get clogged!"
Zhu Chuanfeng said with a gloomy look on his face that Zhen Cai was one of his more capable subordinates. After his death, he often felt that there was no one around him and he was no longer good at doing things.
"You have had great luck for twenty years, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied about."
The middle-aged man said coldly.
"What do you mean? Are you expecting me to have bad luck?"
Zhu Chuanfeng said angrily, "You are my brother. If I am unlucky, you will not be in a good place either! You can achieve what you have today because of my money!"
The middle-aged man lowered his eyelids and said calmly, "I didn't mean that. What are you going to do now?"
"Humph!"
Zhu Chuanfeng still hummed angrily and said, "Tomorrow is the monthly exam for the Weapons Division Workshop. I have already made arrangements. By then, Workshop Zero will definitely be banned. If the boy named Zhou doesn't want to become a
A soldier-forging apprentice with nothing, he can only bow to me!"
"Is it useful?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion, "The boy named Zhou is just a soldier-making apprentice. If you accept him as your apprentice, can you really pass this level?"
"You don't understand the matter of forging weapons." Zhu Chuanfeng looked confident, "It is precisely because the boy named Zhou is an apprentice of forging weapons that he is useful! If he is already a master forging weapons, it will be difficult to handle.
”
The middle-aged man frowned, seeming even more confused.
Zhou Shu outside was also confused and didn't know what Zhu Chuanfeng's words meant.
What does he want to gain from himself?
To be honest, he still doesn't know what Zhu Chuanfeng is planning, the Tiger Bend Sword, the Bailian Huanshou Sword, the Horse-Zhanning Sword and the Xiuchun Sword?
Although these four types of long knives can bring some benefits, it is impossible for a master craftsman to take them seriously.
Apart from this, Zhou Shu couldn't think of anything else in him that was worthy of Zhu Chuanfeng's calculations.
Map of divine weapons?
It is impossible for Zhu Chuanfeng to know the existence of the Divine Weapon Atlas.
Zhou Shu continues to listen.
"How's that thing I asked you to do?"
Zhu Chuanfeng continued.
"The weapons have been brought back and stored in the warehouse."
The middle-aged man whispered.
"No trouble?"
Zhu Chuanfeng's face was cold and he said in a deep voice.
"It's all been solved, there won't be any problems." The middle-aged man said, "Brother, it's been twenty years, let's stop."
"Stop? Tell me how to stop?"
Zhu Chuanfeng said coldly, "Believe it or not, if I stop now, your and my bodies will be hanging on the top of Chang'an City tomorrow!"
"Not that much."
The middle-aged man is weak and authentic.
"No? Huh, naive! You don't have to worry about these things, just do what I tell you!" Zhu Chuanfeng said coldly, "Also, find a few people to keep an eye on the boy named Zhou for me. Don't
