As soon as Zhou Shu woke up, the people below came to inform him. He came to the front hall and said to Mi Zhifu who was sitting there.
Since the last time he sent the house deed to Zhou Shu, Mi Zhifu has not been seen for some time.
It's not that he despises Zhou Shu, but as the chief steward of Mi Mansion, he has a good sense of proportion and knows that his frequent appearance in front of Zhou Shu will only arouse Zhou Shu's resentment.
"Second Master is fine, then I'm relieved."
Mi Zhifu said with a smile, "Are those people down there easy for me to use? If anyone is disobedient, I can just deal with them."
"It's all good."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "What did the steward mean by what he said just now? What do you mean I'm fine? How could anything happen to me?"
Zhou Shu vaguely guessed something, but still pretended not to know anything and asked.
Mi Zhifu didn't hide anything, and said, "I'm afraid the second master doesn't know yet, but something big has happened in the capital."
"Zhu Chuanfeng, the great craftsman of the Forging Department, colluded with the enemy and betrayed Daxia's secrets. Last night, the Chief of the Divine Catching Department raided the Zhu Mansion, but Zhu Chuanfeng escaped."
"Now the four gates of Chang'an City are closed, and people from the Divine Catcher Division and the Demon Slayer Army are conducting a large-scale search. Now the whole capital is in panic. I was worried that the second master would be disturbed, so I rushed here early in the morning." p>
"Is there such a thing? I didn't hear any movement here, and I slept until dawn." Zhou Shu said with a surprised look on his face, "Master Zhu colluded with the enemy? Is this true or false?"
"Ma Fengzhang, the commander-in-chief of the Divine Catcher Division, personally led the operation, and Zhu Chuanfeng escaped. This cannot be true." Mi Zhifu said solemnly. He was the chief steward of the Mi Mansion, so he naturally knew a lot of information. "It's really unexpected. Fortunately,
Our Mi family had little relationship with Zhu Chuanfeng before."
A flash of schadenfreude flashed across Mi Zhifu's face. Mi Fu and Zhu Chuanfeng had little friendship, but several of Mi Fu's enemies actually had close friendships with Zhu Chuanfeng. This time, they might be implicated.
"The Divine Catcher took action and the city was sealed. Can Master Zhu escape?"
Zhou Shu asked.
He was not interested in what excuse Ma Fengzhang found to arrest Zhu Chuanfeng. He had already expected this. Neither Ma Fengzhang nor Emperor Yuan Feng would expose the truth easily.
Because the truth is so horrifying, no one knows what consequences it will have once it is announced.
Finding a reason to arrest Zhu Chuanfeng is a normal reaction.
What Zhou Shu is more interested in is whether Zhu Chuanfeng was successfully captured.
"When Commander Ma rushed to the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Chuanfeng was no longer at the manor. As for whether he has escaped from the capital now, no one can say for sure." Mi Zhifu said, "Zhu Chuanfeng is not an ordinary person after all, even if the chief arrester is
I'm afraid it won't be easy to catch him."
"Second Master, this Zhu Chuanfeng may still be hiding somewhere in the city. Chang'an City is now closed and not a single fly can fly out. In order to prevent Zhu Chuanfeng from jumping over the wall in a hurry, it is best for Second Master to stay at home and not go out casually." "I will temporarily arrange some guards to come over. Although it is unlikely that Zhu will target the second master, it is better to be safe."
This is not because Mi Zhifu thinks too much, but all the major mansions in the capital basically do this to strengthen their defenses to avoid disaster.
"I still have to go back to Workshop Zero." Zhou Shu shook his head and stayed in the house to be a coward?
How is that possible!
Will he be afraid that Zhu Chuanfeng will jump over the wall in a hurry?
If Zhu Chuanfeng doesn't come to him, there might be a glimmer of hope.
If he really thought Zhou Shu was a soft persimmon, then Zhou Shu would definitely give him a surprise.
Of course, Zhou Shu thought that the possibility of Zhu Chuanfeng coming to him again was very small, after all, Zhu Chuanzhi was scared away by him at that time.
"The tasks of the workshop cannot be delayed, and I have no grudges with Zhu Chuanfeng. Even if he wants to do something, he probably has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Shu said.
"Second Master, that's not what you said. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand in danger. Second Master, you have a noble status and it is really not appropriate to take risks."
Mi Zhifu advised.
"How do I consider myself to be of noble status?"
Zhou Shu laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "Butler, you don't have to say anything about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. Since I am the head of the workshop of the Forging Department, I have to do the things in the workshop well. This is the most basic thing.
of."
"The arrest of Zhu Chuanfeng by the Divine Catcher Division has nothing to do with me. If I miss my work in the workshop because of this trivial matter, how will I manage the workshop in the future?"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhou Shu, Mi Zhifu could only take a step back and said, "Now that you have made up your mind, Second Master, I will arrange for a few more experts to accompany you. Second Master, please don't refuse. If something happens to you, what will I do?"
Explain to the uncle?"
Although Zhou Shu was a little helpless, he couldn't refuse anymore. If he refused again, it would seem a bit fake.
"Okay, just send a few random people, don't affect the defense of Mi Mansion."
Zhou Shu said.
……
In a secret place in the capital, Zhu Chuanzhi's face was pale and he kept coughing.
Opposite him, Zhu Chuanfeng's face was gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Last night, after Zhu Chuanzhi ran back from outside the city, they immediately moved from the Zhu Mansion to this secret lair.
As the saying goes, with Zhu Chuanfeng's previous identity, it is not easy to buy a house in Chang'an City.
Originally, they planned to escape from the city directly from here, but they did not expect that the Chief's movements would be so fast. Before they could escape, the city gates were all closed.
"Second brother, tell me again, what did Zhou Shu say last night?"
Zhu Chuanfeng said coldly.
"Brother, that person can't be Zhou Shu! That person's cultivation is far superior to mine——"
"No matter who he is, first tell me what he said!"
Zhu Chuanfeng interrupted him.
"He said, Brother Zhu, something happened to you!"
Zhu Chuanzhi recalled.
Zhu Chuanfeng frowned. With just this sentence, he couldn't be sure whether the other party was defrauding Zhu Chuanzhi.
But it's useless to think about it now. Even if the words were deceived by Zhu Chuanzhi at the time, they are true now.
The secret book in the suburban villa, if I had known I should have destroyed it long ago!
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.
"No, I, Zhu Chuanfeng, can't die here like this!"
Zhu Chuanfeng clenched his fists. He still had seven heaven-grade weapons, and he still had huge wealth. As long as he escaped from Chang'an City, there were still a lot of good days waiting for him. How could he be captured without any help?
"Brother, what should we do now? The city gate is sealed, and the Detective Division and the Demon Slayer Army are searching house to house. It won't take long before they find us."
Zhu Chuanzhi said solemnly, he was searched together, not to mention that he was only at the fourth level of martial arts, even if he was at the third level, it would be impossible for him to escape.
"There is always a way, there will be a way!"
Zhu Chuanfeng gritted his teeth and said, "I, Zhu Chuanfeng, have encountered countless desperate situations in my life, but I have overcome them all, and this time is no exception!"
"Let me think about it." Zhu Chuanfeng paced back and forth, "If Chang'an City wants to maintain normal operations, it is impossible to completely close the city. Some people must enter and exit the city gate!"
"There is a war going on in the south, and the supply of weapons will not be interrupted. Some workshop owners in the Weaponry Division live in the city, and they must return to their workshops."
"Second brother, you should go to these places immediately to see which principal lived in the city last night. By borrowing their identities, we may be able to sneak out of the city."
There are many people coming in and out of the city gate, but the people Zhu Chuanfeng is most familiar with are the people from the Casting Division.
Weapons are transported back and forth from the Weaponry Division's workshop, and there may be opportunities among them.
Zhu Chuanzhi didn't hesitate at all. He kept in mind a few things his elder brother said, and then left the courtyard cautiously.
There are dangers everywhere in the city now. Even if he has a fourth-level martial arts cultivation, he has to be careful. If he makes a mistake, he may not be caught.
Although the Divine Catchers from the Divine Catcher Division and a small team from the Demon Slayer Army were hunting throughout the city, their numbers were limited after all. This was also an opportunity for Zhu Chuanzhi to still act.
He walked several places in a row, but could not find even a single workshop owner. Obviously, these people did not live at home in the capital last night.
"And the last one."
Zhu Chuanzhi thought to himself, if this one is not there, then he can only think of other ways.
But now there is really not much time left for them.
Zhu Chuanzhi was a little anxious. He spread out his body skills and headed towards the last place.
At this time, he naturally did not dare to take the main road, so he could only climb over the courtyards.
Every time before climbing over the wall, he would carefully observe for a long time before taking action, fearing that he would encounter an expert.
Just as he climbed over a high wall like before, his face suddenly changed as soon as his feet landed on the ground.
Because not far in front of him, a person was looking at him with wide eyes.
"Is it you?"
Zhu Chuanzhi's pupils suddenly shrank. A few feet away, the astonished person was not Zhou Shu, but who was he?
At this time, Zhu Chuanzhi didn't care to think about why he didn't sense the warrior's aura behind the wall before climbing over the wall. Now, his mind was filled with the way Zhou Shu's aura exploded last night.
The other party is a master, a master even stronger than myself!
Zhu Chuanzhi only has one thought now, that is, he has fallen into trouble and may not be able to escape this time!
Even if you can't escape, you can't just surrender!
If you try hard, the worst thing you can do is make some noise and alert your elder brother!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Chuanzhi did not hesitate at all, and his momentum suddenly exploded.
"Boom——"
The violent energy was vented around Zhu Chuanzhi, and the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard were in a mess, and even the walls were knocked out with dark holes.
Zhu Chuanzhi stamped his feet violently, causing the ground under his feet to crack. He rushed toward Zhou Shu at an incredible speed.
Zhou Shu seemed to be frightened and did not react at all, allowing Zhu Chuanzhi to keep approaching.
