As the saying goes, make bold assumptions and verify carefully.
Zhou Shu gave full play to his imagination, and novels, TV series, and various plots he had read in his previous life flashed through his mind.
Various secret room designs were all reviewed in Zhou Shu's mind.
He is now very suspicious that there is a secret room in the Zhu Mansion, and the entrance to the secret room is most likely to be in Zhu Chuanfeng's brother's room!
This is a very reasonable inference.
Although Zhu Chuanfeng is the master of the Zhu Mansion, his martial arts cultivation is not high. If the entrance to the secret room is in his room, he may not be able to detect anything if something happens.
And his younger brother is the person he trusts the most, and his martial arts skills are extremely high. Placing the secret room in his room will not only attract no attention, but will also be safer.
So, now comes the problem.
How can we find the entrance to the secret room and enter?
If he really let go of his hands and feet, Zhou Shu estimated that he could still defeat Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother.
But in that case, the noise would be too great. By then, not to mention Zhu Mansion, all the masters in the capital would be alarmed.
As for quietly killing Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother, Zhou Shu really doesn't have that ability now.
"We have to find a way to lure him away."
Zhou Shu secretly said that when he watched martial arts movies in his previous life, the protagonists could distract the guards by just throwing stones.
But here, if Zhou Shu did that, he would be mentally retarded.
The other party is not a fool. Can a pebble drive a tiger away from the mountain?
"If there is a secret room, it is also a very important place. Even if something happens, the other party's first reaction will definitely be to protect the secret room."
Zhou Shu said secretly in his heart.
He knew nothing about Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother, and naturally had no way of knowing his weaknesses.
He even suspected that even if he pretended to assassinate Zhu Chuanfeng, the man would not leave the room.
"What should I do?"
Zhou Shu had a headache, which was also an inconvenience for him as a polished commander.
If there is a helper, this problem will be easily solved.
"This man is the old thief's younger brother. I'm afraid that apart from the old thief's safety, nothing else can attract his attention."
Zhou Shu pondered, "The key is, I don't know how much they value this secret room!"
"Whether it works or not, you have to give it a try!"
After a while, Zhou Shu made a decision.
Zhou Shu was not entirely sure whether he could lure away Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother.
But it’s impossible for him to give up just like that.
After working for most of the night and returning empty-handed, it would piss him off to death.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Shu calmed down and left the courtyard.
Running to a place between the small courtyard and Zhu Chuanfeng's bedroom, Zhou Shu avoided the patrolling guards, and then set a fire...
That's right, the method he finally used was so simple and crude!
Set a fire and cause a commotion in Zhu's mansion. Zhu Chuanfeng's brother may leave his room!
Zhou Shu did not set the fire randomly. The place where he set the fire was very close to Zhu Chuanfeng's bedroom, and it was also upwind.
Most of the buildings in this world are wooden structures, and the weather is dry. Once a fire breaks out, the fire will quickly become bigger.
As soon as the fire broke out, it already attracted the attention of the patrolling guards.
"It's gone! Everyone put out the fire!",
Shouting sounded, and chaotic footsteps sounded from all directions.
Zhou Shu took advantage of the chaos and groped towards the warehouse again.
There was a fire, and the entire Zhu Mansion was in chaos. Even Zhu Chuanfeng ran out of the bedroom in a panic.
A group of escort servants are already busy putting out the fire.
It's just that the fire has already gotten bigger, and it can't be put out so easily in a hurry.
"What's going on?"
Zhu Chuanfeng ran out of the room, grabbed a guard who was busy putting out the fire, and shouted, "Is someone sneaking in?"
"I told you, I didn't see anyone."
The guard hurriedly said, "Maybe it was the dry weather and the candlelight accidentally caused it."
Zhu Chuanfeng waved his hand, and the guard ran to put out the fire with a bucket.
Zhu Chuanfeng looked at the fire that had been gradually brought under control and felt relieved.
Then he raised his head and glanced in the direction of his younger brother. When he saw that there was nothing unusual, he was completely relieved.
Zhou Shu sneaked back to the small courtyard where the warehouse was located. Zhu Chuanfeng's brother was still sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes were slightly closed, and his body was still glowing slightly.
He is still doing his exercises!
Setting fire turned out to be completely useless!
Zhou Shu was a little disappointed. The sky had begun to turn white. In another hour, the sky would be brighter.
It’s too late!
Zhou Shu secretly sighed in his heart. It seemed that he could only deal with the monthly exams in the workshop first, and then look for opportunities to deal with Zhu Chuanfeng later!
Just when Zhou Shu turned around to leave Zhu Mansion, suddenly there was a popping sound from behind.
Zhou Shu looked back and saw Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother opening his mouth and spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then he fell limply on the bed.
Zhou Shu: "..."
Is this an obsession?
He took two tentative steps in the direction of the man.
There was no movement on the bed.
He felt relieved and took a few steps forward again.
The person on the bed remained silent.
"Hey, God is really helping me."
Zhou Shu was ready to give up, but he never expected that the old thief's brother would actually trick him!
Zhou Shu walked to the bed and put his hand under the man's nose.
My breathing was very weak, as if I might die at any time.
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment, but finally did not kill him.
It is not a disaster for his family. Although this man is Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother, he has no grudge against him. If he kills him now, he will not be able to overcome this hurdle in his heart.
For Zhou Shu, killing is easy, but he does not want to become a person who only knows killing.
Human life is precious.
Once he lost his respect for life, Zhou Shu felt that he might go on a wrong path and become someone he didn't want to be.
I ignored Zhu Chuanfeng's younger brother. Although he would not add insult to injury, he would not save a good person either.
Whether he is dead or alive depends on his own destiny.
Without any scruples, Zhou Shu quickly searched the room.
After a while, Zhou Shu actually found the entrance mechanism behind the bookshelf!
Amid the sound of "zaza", a dark entrance appeared in the center of the room.
Zhou Shu tentatively punched a stream of energy into the cave entrance.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement from the secret room, and then he cautiously walked into the secret room.
The secret room located underground is not large, only about one foot long and wide.
A row of shelves stands against the bluestone wall. On the shelves are several rosewood boxes.
At first glance, it looks the same as the warehouse above, but the rosewood box has revealed everything.
This box alone is already extremely precious, not to mention the contents inside!
Sure enough, the real good things are hidden in this secret room!
If Zhou Shu only came to steal things, then he would have found a place by now.
Any one of these weapons is probably priceless.
But Zhou Shu didn't come here just to be a thief. No matter how good the weapons are, he doesn't care about them.
So what if it was a heavenly weapon, sooner or later he would be able to forge it himself.
He came here this time to find a handle on Zhu Chuanfeng!
Without much hesitation, Zhou Shu walked to the wooden box. After confirming that there was no mechanism, he opened the box.
Sure enough, what was inside the wooden box was a heavenly weapon!
Each of the heavenly weapons is a magical weapon. If you put it outside, it will definitely make many warriors fight over it.
Even a master forging weapons can be proud of himself if he can forge seven heavenly weapons in his lifetime.
Zhu Chuanfeng is not ranked high among the masters of weapon forging. How could he forge so many heavenly weapons?
This is inconsistent with his ranking.
Zhou Shu keenly discovered the problem.
As long as a member of the Weaponsmith lineage successfully forges an earth-grade weapon, they can be called a master craftsman.
In other words, not every great craftsman has the ability to forge heavenly weapons.
Great craftsmen who can forge heavenly weapons are all world-famous.
Zhu Chuanfeng is indeed a master craftsman who can forge heavenly weapons, which is why he has a transcendent status in Daxia.
However, although Zhu Chuanfeng is famous among the master craftsmen of weapons, his ranking is not too high. There are many master craftsmen of weapons who are more famous than him in the world.
Even those great craftsmen may not be able to forge so many heavenly weapons.
Where can a heavenly weapon be forged so easily?
How many great craftsmen have only forged one heaven-grade weapon in their lifetime, and one heaven-grade weapon can last a lifetime!
Zhu Chuanfeng's strength does not match his fame.
Regardless of whether the top-grade weapons in this secret room or the top-grade weapons in the warehouse above, if these were all forged by Zhu Chuanfeng, then his fame is definitely not just what it is now.
If these results were announced, Zhu Chuanfeng would be ranked among the top ten among the world's great masters!
"The old thief is hiding his strength?"
Zhou Shu frowned. He shouldn't. Hiding the strength of forging soldiers is completely meaningless to him.
On the contrary, if he shows it, his fame will increase and he will get more benefits.
He is already a master craftsman of weapons, and Daxia regards him as a treasure. He does not have to worry about the risks of becoming too famous.
Zhou Shu is hiding his strength now because he is too weak. If he really became a master weapon maker, there would be no need for this.
At that time, the stronger I acted, the safer I felt.
"No, there must be something wrong!"
Zhou Shu paced back and forth, frowning and thinking hard.
"If the old thief can forge so many heaven-grade weapons, even if he doesn't care about fame, he can make friends with second-grade martial arts masters and even first-grade martial arts experts with these heaven-grade weapons! Even if they are not used to make friends with masters or exchange money,
, that is definitely an unimaginable amount of wealth! There is no way he would let go of this opportunity and let the heavenly weapons collect dust in the warehouse!"
"Unless——"
An idea suddenly appeared in Zhou Shu's mind.
"Unless these heavenly weapons were not forged by his own hands!"
