Chu Tianshu sat on the couch by the window and meditated cross-legged.
Outside the room, the madam's ears were pressed against the crack of the door.
Listening to the faint moans coming from the room, she turned around and left with satisfaction. While twisting her waist, she sneered: "Pretending to be like me? You are still young, there is no man who doesn't cheat..."
The next day, Chu Tianshu ordered breakfast and ate it slowly. He kept thinking that it was almost time for the city lord's mansion to start recruiting, so he paid and left.
The madam came to the lobby and saw Chu Tianshu leaving.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that Chu Tianshu had an indescribable smell that made her feel very different.
Watching Chu Tianshu go away, the old bustard asked: "Where is Axiang?"
The man dressed as a boy next to him patted his forehead: "Axiang hasn't come out yet."
The madam frowned: "You haven't come out yet? It's already this hour, and the guests are leaving too, so why don't you give me a gift?"
The boy's face changed slightly: "Is something going to happen?"
"Only now do you think that something might happen? What have you been doing?"
The madam raised her hand and slapped the young man hard on the head, turned around and walked towards the room where Chu Tianshu stayed last night, cursing.
The boy also hurriedly followed.
The two of them entered the room and saw Axiang still lying quietly on the bed covered with quilt, and their hearts "thumped" at the same time.
The boy exclaimed: "Is something really going to happen?"
"roll!"
The old madam kicked the young man, hurriedly walked to the bed and shouted: "Axiang."
I called out, but there was no movement.
The madam was startled and hurriedly leaned over to push Axiang.
"Axiang...Axiang..."
She pushed twice, and Axiang woke up leisurely, with a confused look on her face.
The madam patted her trembling heart: "You scared me to death."
Ah Xiang sat up and asked in shock: "Mom, what's wrong?"
The madam rolled her eyes at Axiang: "I still want to ask you, why can't you pay me back so late? Do you know that all the guests have left?"
"Ah? Already gone?"
Two red clouds appeared on Ah Xiang's cheeks, and she said sweetly: "He is really awesome. He has tormented me all night and made me very tired."
The madam looked at Axiang with a suspicious look on his face: "Trying all night long? Is it true or false?"
Ah Xiang said: "Of course it's true. Do I need to tell lies?"
The madam muttered: "How come I haven't met a man who can spend a whole night..."
…
Chu Tianshu came to the recruitment point of the City Lord's Mansion. He originally expected to see a long queue, but unexpectedly there were only a few people. The person in charge of the recruitment point was also sitting behind the table, looking drowsy. He couldn't help but feel
Very surprised.
He didn't rush forward in a hurry, but went to the side to inquire about the situation.
According to people around, there were quite a lot of people who applied at the beginning, but the requirements of the City Lord's Mansion were a bit too high, so not many people passed.
Moreover, news recently came out that the city lord was not in a good mood because of the war with the barbarians, and many servants who had made mistakes were directly executed, so the city lord's mansion was recruiting people on a large scale.
As soon as the news spread, fewer and fewer people came to apply. After all, no matter how high the salary was, no one was willing to take their own lives for granted.
After finding out the reason, Chu Tianshu no longer worried and went directly to the recruitment office.
There are only three people in the recruitment department at this time.
Two men dressed as warriors were reclining in chairs next to them.
There was also a man dressed as a scholar, who was lying on the desk, and the three of them looked drowsy.
Chu Tianshu directly pressed a button on the desk: "Excuse me, is this the recruitment office of the City Lord's Mansion?"
The scribe behind the desk suddenly woke up and blurted out: "Yes."
After saying that, he looked up at Chu Tianshu.
Seeing Chu Tianshu's tall figure, he nodded with satisfaction, then took out a pen and paper and asked Chu Tianshu for basic information, which was nothing more than his name and origin.
Chu Tianshu thought for a while and reported the address of the Jedi tribe he met before.
Initially, Chu Tianshu thought that he would also ask for some other detailed information. Unexpectedly, after a simple registration, the scribe directly called a warrior next to him and brought Chu Tianshu in.
He looked at the information in the registration book and said to another warrior: "Is it from this tribe again? I remember if two people from this tribe were selected before?"
The warrior lowered his head and glanced at the registration book, nodded and said, "Yes, one man and one woman."
The scribe ordered: "Don't you know the whereabouts of their clan leader? Go and verify it again."
"yes."
The warrior responded and strode away.
…
The interior of the City Lord's Mansion is extraordinary, even more majestic than the City Lord's Mansion that Chu Tianshu had visited before in the Western Jedi.
Upon entering, there is a large square that is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people lining up for training.
In the center of the square, stands a statue of a giant sword.
Chu Tianshu didn't know what material the statue was made of. From a distance, it looked like jade, exuding a warm luster under the sunlight.
The giant sword statue is very big, with a height of thirty to forty meters and a width of two to three meters. It is very shocking.
The main palace of Weihu City that Chu Tianshu saw in Jedi in the Western Territory has an architectural style similar to that of Northern China, with majestic style and square layout.
The architecture of the Lord's Mansion of the Giant Sword City in front of us has a bit of the Jiangnan architecture of China. Across the wide square, there are pavilions and pavilions, clusters of flowers, and winding paths, which are exquisite and beautiful.
The City Lord's Mansion looks grand from the outside, and it occupies a vast area inside. Even Chu Tianshu would be a little dizzy when walking around. If someone with a weak sense of direction went in, he would probably get lost after a few turns.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Chu Tianshu was brought to a courtyard.
Before entering the courtyard, the warrior who led the way told Chu Tianshu that the person he was about to meet was Jian Zhong, the housekeeper of the city lord's palace.
He was a man with gray hair and a slim build, his eyes sparkling as he looked around.
After listening to the samurai leading the way, he briefly introduced Chu Tianshu's situation and asked expressionlessly: "Do you know how to read?"
"ah?"
Chu Tianshu looked puzzled.
The samurai who led the way explained: "Sir, you will arrange the most suitable position for you based on each person's different circumstances."
Chu Tianshu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I can read and write well."
Although he didn't hesitate for a long time, he had actually thought about it deeply.
The plan here is to collect information in the city lord's mansion. If you just do some menial jobs, the possibility of coming into contact with important information is too small.
Now that Jian Zhong has asked this, Chu Tianshu must of course make sure that he is literate. If he can get in touch with the core of the city lord's palace, wouldn't it be easier to find out the information?
Jianzhong asked lightly again: "Where did you learn it?"
