Zhu Chuanfeng and the middle-aged man who seemed to be his brother whispered for another quarter of an hour, and then the middle-aged man stood up and left.
Zhu Chuanfeng lay on the desk and wrote and drew for a long time before going to bed.
After quite a while, some movement was heard from a corner of the courtyard.
Zhou Shu was a little ready to make a move.
Zhu Chuanfeng was just a few feet away from him. At this distance, Zhou Shu was completely sure to kill Zhu Chuanfeng before rescue came.
The question is, how can I escape after killing him?
The master craftsmen of the army are the treasures of the imperial court. If anyone dares to kill them, the Great Xia imperial court will never give up.
Chasing them to death will definitely not be just empty words.
Besides, there are indeed several masters in this Zhu Mansion.
If he really kills Zhu Chuanfeng, Zhou Shu may not be able to escape intact.
For an old thief, Zhou Shu would never do such a loss-making business.
"What do those words that Zhu Chuanfeng said to his brother mean?"
Zhou Shu frowned slightly.
He didn't know the name of Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother, and he hadn't even heard that Zhu Chuanfeng had another younger brother.
Of course, he didn't pay much attention to this aspect.
He eavesdropped for half the night, and seemed to hear a lot of things, but also seemed to hear nothing.
The conversation between Zhu Chuanfeng and his brother was very confusing, and it was difficult to get a clear clue from it.
The only thing Zhou Shu can be sure of is that Zhu Chuanfeng does have a secret!
And once this secret is exposed, his and his brother's lives will even be in danger!
It sounds like his brother wants to stop, but Zhu Chuanfeng is against it.
Stop?
Are they doing something bad?
If we can find out what bad things they do again, can we use the help of the imperial court to kill them?
Zhou Shu's eyes gradually brightened.
Although he had said before that he wanted to overthrow Zhu Chuanfeng, he was just talking angrily. In fact, he had no idea how to do it.
Even though he is already the master of the workshop, the gap between the master of the workshop and the master craftsman of weapons is as big as the gap between an ordinary university lecturer and an academician of the Academy of Sciences in his previous life.
Now, he seems to have seen a little light!
I'm afraid that Zhu Chuanfeng has no flaws. In that case, he, a workshop leader, really can't stand up to other great craftsmen.
But since he has problems of his own, he is committing suicide and will not survive!
"Just now, the old thief's brother mentioned that he brought weapons back. Zhu Chuanfeng, a master weapon maker, does he need to bring weapons back from outside? The old thief also specifically asked, is there something weird about this weapon?"
Zhou Shu thought quickly in his mind, "The weapons have been received in the warehouse. Where is the warehouse?"
Zhou Shu assumed the identity of Zhu Chuanfeng in his mind. If it were him, according to the custom of the armorer, where would he design the warehouse?
Zhou Shu minored in architecture in his previous life and had some experience in building design.
In addition, he has been forging weapons all his life, so to a certain extent, he can understand Zhu Chuanfeng's thoughts.
A three-dimensional picture gradually emerged in his mind, and Zhou Shu felt that he really had some talent as a thief.
Soon, he imagined several places that might be warehouses.
"The warehouse of the master craftsman of weapons should be the most important place in Zhu's mansion besides the old thief's bedroom."
Zhou Shu said to himself, "It must be heavily guarded there!"
"The person the old thief trusts the most is probably his younger brother. In addition, his younger brother is not weak. It is very likely that this warehouse is guarded by his younger brother himself."
Zhou Shu gradually came up with an idea, "In this way, wherever you can find the smell of the middle-aged man before, these places may be Zhu Chuanfeng's warehouse!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Shu stopped delaying and started moving quietly.
After eavesdropping for most of the night, it was not long before dawn, so he had to act quickly.
After exploring the Zhu Mansion at night for several days, Zhou Shu now has a thorough understanding of the layout of the entire Zhu Mansion.
The most important thing is that his cultivation level is high enough, and there is no strong person above the master level in the Zhu family.
Being careful and cautious, he can be said to be in a deserted place in Zhu Mansion.
After a while, Zhou Shu was aware of the middle-aged man's aura again.
Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother is suspected to be between the fourth and fifth levels of martial arts, and his senses are very keen. He almost discovered Zhou Shu's existence in Zhu Chuanfeng's bedroom before.
After Zhou Shu sensed his aura, he did not approach rashly. Instead, he visualized the true shape of the Five Mountains until his whole body seemed to have turned into a stone, and then he cautiously approached.
Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother lives alone in a small courtyard without even a servant around him.
When Zhou Shu sneaked into the small courtyard, Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother was sitting cross-legged on the bed doing his exercises.
As soon as Zhou Shu hid his figure, he opened his eyes suspiciously, looked around, and then closed his eyes again.
However, it took a long time for the confused look on his face to disappear.
Zhou Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he couldn't underestimate the people of the world. Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother was really sensitive. He had been so careful, but he could still feel it.
Fortunately, I am more skilled, so even though he was a little suspicious, he still couldn't find any trace of me!
Zhou Shu secretly thought to himself that with a quick glance, he was sure that this was the place he was looking for!
Just next to the room where the middle-aged man is sitting cross-legged and studying, there are rows of wooden shelves, and on the wooden shelves, there are various wooden boxes of different lengths.
"Fortunately it's not a secret room, otherwise it would be troublesome!"
Zhou Shu thought to himself. He waited for a moment and saw that Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother's expression calmed down before he slowly moved to the next room.
The room is very large, with more than a dozen rows of wooden shelves, and countless wooden boxes placed on them.
"Which one did they mention before?"
Zhou Shu has a big head.
There are estimated to be hundreds of these wooden boxes. If you open them one by one and check them, will you be able to check them for the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?

"The old thief is really prolific."
Zhou Shu secretly complained that Zhu Chuanfeng had only been a master craftsman for ten or twenty years, and he had accumulated hundreds of high-quality weapons. Telling this might scare a group of people.
The casting of premium weapons is not as simple as standard weapons.
Generally speaking, the casting of a high-quality weapon takes at least a few months, and at most a few years.
Many weapons masters only forge dozens of high-quality weapons in their lifetime, which is still a high output.
Even a master weaponsmith may not be able to cast many high-quality weapons in his lifetime.
Becoming a master weapon craftsman does not rely on the quantity of high-quality weapons forged, but on the quality!
A master forger is a weapon forger who can cast earth-grade or even heaven-grade weapons.
"These hundreds of top-grade weapons, even if they are all of the lowest quality, are of immeasurable value."
Zhou Shu muttered in his heart that it was a pity that he didn't have the ability to take all these weapons away.
Otherwise, he will just eat and wait to die for the rest of his life.
"Why did the old thief collect so many weapons?"
A flash of doubt flashed in Zhou Shu's heart.
Generally speaking, the weapons forged by weapon forgers are sold, or the weapons they forge are directly customized by others.
The casting cost of high-end weapons is very high. Who would cast so many high-end weapons for collection and fun?
With doubts in mind, Zhou Shu carefully walked to a row of wooden shelves and opened one of the wooden boxes a crack.
The cold air penetrates the body, and a chilling air hits the face.
Inside the wooden box is a long knife!
Zhu Chuanfeng is famous for his sword-making, which is somewhat similar to Zhou Shu. At his current position, Zhou Shu is also good at casting standard long swords in the eyes of outsiders.
"Is this a top-grade weapon?"
Zhou Shu looked at the long knife in the wooden box, and he could even hear the long knife making a happy cry.
Premium weapons are indeed very different from standard weapons.
Each of these high-grade weapons seems to have spirituality, they are all unique existences!
No wonder it is said that it takes months at least for a weapon maker to cast a high-quality weapon.
"There's nothing unusual about this."
Zhou Shu observed it for a long time. This high-quality long sword was cast very delicately, and there was no abnormality at all.
He closed the wooden box and randomly selected a wooden box to open.
Many times in a row.
Zhou Shu saw several high-quality long knives, each with different appearance.
After seeing many high-quality long knives, Zhou Shu's doubts became more intense.
There is no abnormality at all in these high-quality long knives.
They are just "ordinary" top-grade long knives. If I must say it, then they should be considered to be in good condition among top-grade long knives.
It is indeed the work of a master craftsman.
Putting aside Zhu Chuanfeng's character, as a master craftsman, his ability to eat is quite good.
This is also normal. After all, the skill of casting weapons has nothing to do with character.
Can’t the bad guy be a master craftsman?
"It doesn't make sense."
Zhou Shu muttered in his heart, "If there is no problem with the weapon, Zhu Chuanfeng cannot deliberately emphasize it to his brother."
"Did I overlook something?"
Zhou Shu frowned and thought hard. It was going to be dawn soon. After dawn, the monthly examination of the workshop of the Forging Department would begin.
If you can't catch Zhu Chuanfeng, even if you pass this monthly workshop exam, you will be in trouble in the future!
Thinking of this, Zhou Shu couldn't help but feel anxious.
"No, this warehouse is too obvious. If it were something truly important, it would not be placed in this place. If I were Zhu Chuanfeng, if it was something related to personal life and death, I would definitely hide it in the safest place."<
/p>
"Either I carry this thing with me, or I give it to someone I absolutely trust for safekeeping!"
"The old thief is a master craftsman of weapons. He often shows up. The person he trusts most should be his younger brother, who is right next door!"
"In addition to the warehouse on the surface, there may be a real warehouse. The old thief and his brother said before that the weapons were stored in the warehouse, so he must be able to enter and exit freely! Is this secret warehouse in his room?
