Chapter 100: Dog Jumps Over the Wall (Part 1)
"Why are you here, Chief Steward?"
As soon as Zhou Shu woke up, the people below came to report. He came to the front hall and said to Mi Zhifu who was sitting there.
Mi Zhifu has not shown his face for a while since he sent the house deed to Zhou Shu last time.
It wasn't that he underestimated Zhou Shu, but that as the chief steward of the Mi Mansion, he had a good sense of proportion, knowing that his frequent appearance in front of Zhou Shu would only arouse Zhou Shu's disgust.
"Second Master is fine, then I can rest assured."
Mi Zhifu said with a smile, "Is the Second Master able to use those people below? If anyone is disobedient, the Second Master can just deal with them."
"It's all good."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "What does the butler mean by that sentence just now? What do you mean I'm fine? How can I be in trouble?"
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, something serious happened in the capital."
"Zhu Chuanfeng, the master craftsman of the Casting Division, colluded with the enemy country and betrayed the secrets of the Great Xia. Last night, the commander of the Shenhun Division directly searched Zhu's residence, but Zhu Chuanfeng escaped."
"The four gates of Chang'an City are closed now, and the people from the God Detective Division and the Demon Elimination Army are searching and arresting. Now the whole capital is in panic. I was worried that the second master would be disturbed, so I rushed over early in the morning."
"Is there such a thing? I didn't hear any movement here, and I slept until dawn." Zhou Shu said with a surprised face, "Master Zhu colluded with the enemy country? Is this true or not?"
"Ma Fengzhang, the commander of the God Detective Division, personally led the team, and Zhu Chuanfeng escaped, so this matter cannot be faked." Mi Zhifu said in a deep voice. He is the chief steward of the Mi Mansion, so he knows a lot of news, "It's really unexpected, fortunately Our Mi Mansion had no friendship with Zhu Chuanfeng before."
A look of gloating flashed across Mi Zhifu's face. Mi Fu and Zhu Chuanfeng had no friendship, but some of Mi Fu's opponents actually had close friendship with Zhu Chuanfeng. This time, he might be implicated.
"The God Detective Division took action and the city was sealed off. Can Master Zhu escape?"
Zhou Shu asked.
He was not interested in Ma Fengzhang's excuse to arrest Zhu Chuanfeng. He had already expected this. Neither Ma Fengzhang nor Yuan Fengdi would expose the truth easily.
Because the truth is so terrifying, once it is announced, no one knows what the consequences will be.
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 or not.
"When Commander Ma Da rushed to Zhu's mansion, Zhu Chuanfeng was no longer in the mansion. 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. It might not be an easy task to catch him."
"Second master, this Zhu Chuanfeng may still be hiding somewhere in the city. Now that Chang'an City is closed, 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 the second master to stay at the mansion and not go out casually."
"I will temporarily arrange some guards to come over. Although it is unlikely that the surname Zhu will target the second master, it is better to be on the safe side."
It's not that Mi Zhifu thinks too much, but that the major mansions in the capital basically do this to strengthen their defenses so as not to be affected by Chiyu.
"I still have to go back to Workshop Zero." Zhou Shu shook his head, staying in the mansion like a turtle?
How can it be!
Will he be afraid that Zhu Chuanfeng will jump over the wall in a hurry?
If Zhu Chuanfeng didn't come to look for him, there might still be a glimmer of life.
If he really thinks that Zhou Shu is a persimmon, then Zhou Shu will 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 task of the workshop cannot be delayed, and Zhu Chuanfeng and I have no grievances. Even if he wants to do something, it probably has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Shu said.
"Second Master, that's not what you said. As the saying goes, a gentleman can't stand under a dangerous wall. Second Master, you have a noble status, so you really shouldn't take risks."
Mi Zhifu persuaded.
"Which kind of noble status am I?"
Zhou Shu laughed dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "You don't need to talk about it, butler, since I am the master of the workshop of the Casting Division, I have to do the work of the workshop well. This is the most basic thing. of."
"I have nothing to do with the arrest of Zhu Chuanfeng by the God Detective Division. If I miss the work of the workshop because of such a trivial matter, how will I manage the workshop in the future?"
Seeing that Zhou Shu couldn't be persuaded by Mi Zhifu, he could only take a step back and said, "Since you have made up your mind, Second Master, I will arrange a few more experts to accompany you. Don't refuse Second Master. If something really happens to you, how can I help you?" Confess to the uncle?"
Although Zhou Shu was a little helpless, it was not easy to refuse, and if he refused again, it would seem a little fake.
"Okay, just send out a few meanings, don't affect the defense of the Mi Mansion."
Zhou Shu said.
...
In a secret place in the capital, Zhu Chuanzhi's face was pale, and he continued to cough.
Opposite him, Zhu Chuanfeng's face was gloomy, and the cold light in his eyes kept flickering.
Last night, after Zhu Chuanzhi came back from outside the city, they immediately moved from the Zhu Mansion to this secret lair.
As the so-called Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, with Zhu Chuanfeng's previous status, buying a house in Chang'an City was not easy at all.
Originally they planned to escape from the city directly from here, but they did not expect that the action of the God Detective Division would be so fast, and before they escaped, all the gates of the city were closed.
"Second, 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 above mine—"
"No matter who he is, tell me what he said first!"
Zhu Chuanfeng interrupted him.
"He said, Brother Zhu, something happened to you!"
Zhu Chuanzhi recalled.
Zhu Chuanfeng frowned. Just based on this sentence, he couldn't be sure whether the other party was cheating Zhu Chuanzhi.
But it's useless to think about it now, even if that sentence was deceitful to Zhu Chuanzhi at that time, now, it has already happened.
The secret book in the suburban villa, 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 just die here!"
Zhu Chuanfeng clenched his fists. He still has seven heavenly weapons and a huge amount of wealth. As long as he escapes from Chang'an City, there will be a lot of good days waiting for him. How can he be caught without a fight?
"Brother, what should we do now? The gates of the city are blocked, and the God Detective Division and the Demon Elimination Army are searching from house to house. It won't be long before they find us."
Zhu Chuanzhi said in a deep voice, he was found together, not to mention that he is only at the fourth rank of martial arts, even at the third rank, it is impossible to escape.
"There is no unparalleled road, 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. This time is no exception!"
"Let me think about it." Zhu Chuanfeng paced back and forth, "If Chang'an City is to maintain normal operation, it is impossible to completely seal the city. Some people have to go in and out of the city gate!"
"There is a big war in the southern border, and the supply of weapons will not be interrupted. Some workshop masters of the Forging Division live in the city, and they must return to the workshop."
"Second brother, go to these places now and take a look 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 were many people entering and leaving the city gate, but the people Zhu Chuanfeng was most familiar with were those from the Casting Division.
The Casting Division Workshop transports weapons back and forth, among them, there may be opportunities.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Chuanzhi kept in mind the few things his elder brother said, and then carefully left the courtyard.
Now there are dangers everywhere in the city, even if he has the cultivation base of the fourth rank of martial arts, he has to be more careful, if he is not good, he may not be caught.
Although the God Detectives of the God Detective Division and a small team of the Demon Elimination Army searched and arrested the whole city, their number was limited after all. This was also a chance for Zhu Chuanzhi to act.
He walked several places in a row, but he didn't even find a workshop owner. Obviously, these people did not live at home in the capital city last night.
"There's one last one."
Zhu Chuanzhi thought, if this one is not there, then he can only think of other ways.
But now the time left for them is really running out.
Zhu Chuanzhi was a little impatient, he unfolded his movements and headed towards the last place.
At this time, he naturally did not dare to walk on the main road, so he could only turn over the courtyards and move forward.
Every time before climbing over the wall, he would carefully observe for a long time before taking action, for fear of encountering a master.
Just as he climbed over a high wall like before, his face suddenly changed when his feet landed on the ground.
Because not far in front of him, a person was staring at him with wide-eyed eyes.
"It's you?"
Zhu Chuanzhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and a few meters away, the man with a face full of astonishment was not Zhou Shu, but who was it?
At this time, Zhu Chuanzhi didn't care to think about why he didn't sense the aura of a warrior behind the wall before he climbed over the wall. Now, his mind is full of Zhou Shu's explosive momentum last night.
The opponent is a master, a master stronger than himself!
Zhu Chuanzhi has only one thought now, that is, he has fallen, and this time he may not be able to escape!
Even if you can't escape, you can't just catch him!
Fight hard, the worst thing is, make some noise, let the big brother be alert!
At this thought, Zhu Chuanzhi did not hesitate at all, and the aura on his body exploded suddenly.
"Boom—"
The violent energy vented around Zhu Chuanzhi, and the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard were smashed into a mess, and even the walls were knocked out with dark holes.
Zhu Chuanzhi stepped on his feet suddenly, the ground under his feet was cracked, and his whole body rushed towards Zhou Shu at an incredible speed.
Zhou Shu seemed to be stupefied with fright, completely unresponsive, and allowed Zhu Chuanzhi to keep approaching.
