He didn't bother to study anymore and quickly stood up and backed away.
Because those scorpion-like things were almost crawling to his feet.
Chu Tianshu stepped back, and those scorpion-like things chased him forward.
Chu Tianshu hugged the Phoenix and kept backing up.
When he retreated to a certain place, those scorpion-like things suddenly stopped all at once, as if there was an invisible wall blocking them.
What's happening here?
Chu Tianshu observed carefully for a long time and couldn't see anything unusual around him.
At this time, the faint fresh smell rushed into his nose again.
Chu Tianshu's heart moved. Could it be that this smell stopped those scorpion-like things?
Of course, this was just his guess, and he had no way to prove it for the time being.
But he felt that the possibility was not small. There must be something restraining those scorpion-like things so that they could not leak out at will.
Otherwise, what if we let them crawl out? I'm afraid the people in the City Lord's Mansion would have suffered a long time ago.
Moreover, this secret passage was obviously dug manually. Chu Tianshu vaguely felt that these scorpion-like things most likely did not gather in the secret passage by themselves.
Chu Tianshu felt more and more that this secret passage was not simple. It seemed to hide some kind of secret?
The phoenix flapped its wings vigorously.
Chu Tianshu came to his senses and knew that he had been in the secret passage for a long time this time.
Thinking of the open entrance, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He hugged the phoenix and returned along the original path.
After Chu Tianshu left, those scorpion-like things returned to the pit like a tide.
Returning to the warehouse, he first went to the door and listened carefully to make sure there was no one around outside, and then he restored the entrance to the secret passage to its original state.
The phoenix flew to a shelf, combed its feathers, and stopped calling randomly.
Chu Tianshu lay down on the bed, put his hands under his head, closed his eyes, and thought about the secret passage he explored today, so as not to get confused next time he went there. At least he had to be aware of the places he had explored today.
At this time, there were many people awake in the city lord's mansion.
In addition to the guards who were on patrol, the handymen in the canteen who were preparing meals for the next day, there were also many stewards and generals.
Because the city lord was still awake at this time and was having a secret conversation with Jian Xizhou in the study.
The two of them had fine wine in front of them and talked while drinking.
After hearing what Jian Xizhou said, Jian Xilai frowned: "Is this why you came back from this adventure?"
Jian Xizhou smiled: "She can even betray her own tribe, so she is obviously not a trustworthy person, but after working together for such a long time, I know her well, and she will be a good partner on the basis of mutual benefit.
.”
Jian Xilai asked again: "If we cooperate according to her plan, does she really have the ability to control the Jedi garrison base in the north?"
Jian Xizhou pondered for a moment and replied: "I can't guarantee 100% success, but I think there is still hope."
Jian Xizhou explained: "Although her husband's light has been obscured by the four guardians, according to my long-term secret observation, I found that he is a very capable person, otherwise he would not be able to achieve his current position.
It's just that his background is not as powerful as the four guardian envoys, so he has always hidden his talents.
And that woman and her son have developed a lot of power over the years, especially that woman, who is very ambitious and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. I have repeatedly calculated her plan, and the possibility of success is not small.
"
Jian Xizhou looked at Jian Xilai with burning eyes: "Brother, I think it's worth trying. If she can really control the northern base, although we won't be able to enter and leave the barbarian world at will, at least it will be much easier than now.
, not to mention that according to her plan, our losses will not be huge."
Jian Xilai closed his eyes.
Jian Xizhou shut up at the right time and let Jian Xi think.
After a while, Jian Xilai opened his eyes.
Jian Xizhou immediately put down his wine glass and looked at Jian Xilai with a hint of hope.
Jianxi came and said: "I agree with your plan, but whether it can be implemented depends on the wishes of the palace master."
"I see."
Jian Xizhou raised his wine glass towards Jian Xilai.
"I will ask the palace master for instructions as soon as possible."
Jian Xilai picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Jian Xizhou, and the two brothers drank it down in one gulp.
…
When eating in the morning, Chu Tianshu deliberately found a table that could only seat two or three people.
As expected, Que'er quickly came over happily holding the bowl.
Chu Tianshu smiled and said hello to Que'er and asked, "How are you, are you used to it?"
"Yeah." Que'er nodded and said, "It's less work than working in the tribe, and every meal is so good. Of course I'm used to it."
She leaned close to Chu Tianshu's ear and continued: "The most important thing is that I don't have to spend half a day every day to contribute. I really hate the feeling of being stuck and unable to move."
At this time, Wuhe came over with a cold face and said expressionlessly: "What are you talking about?"
Que'er glared and said, "I want you to take care of it?"
Chu Tianshu said: "Qier, have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?"
Que'er patted her forehead: "I almost forgot."
She pointed to the seat next to her and said to Wuhe: "You can sit down if you want, but don't make that bad face with me. I don't owe you money."
Chu Tianshu smiled and said to Wuhe: "Sit down."
Wuhe sat down opposite the two of them and buried himself in his meal.
Chu Tianshu said casually, "Quier, let me ask you about someone."
Que'er asked: "Who is it?"
Chu Tianshu roughly described the appearance of the young man in black named Zhan Pingyuan, and asked: "Do you know who he is?"
Que'er thought for a while and said, "I've seen that Manager Hui and others are very polite to Mr. Zhan."
Chu Tianshu asked: "What is his identity?"
Que'er said: "I seem to have heard that his master was sent by the palace master."
"Renyin Palace?" Chu Tianshu's eyes flashed, "What's going on with Renyin Palace? Is the Great Sword City under the control of Renyin Palace?"
Que'er said with some embarrassment: "This...I don't know either..."
While Chu Tianshu was picking up the rice in the bowl, he said: "You have more contact with big people in the inner house. If you have the opportunity to help me inquire, I am a little curious."
At this time, Wuhe raised his head and said, "Why do you ask this?"
"I'm curious." Chu Tianshu curled his lips and said: "I just want to see the world everywhere. If the Great Sword City is really under the control of the Renyin Palace, then the Renyin Palace will definitely be bigger and more prosperous than the Great Sword City.
, maybe I will leave here and go to Renyin Hall."
Upon hearing this, Wuhe's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "I'll also help you find out."
