Chapter 281 Mainly because I can’t understand his behavior
"Master Zhou, why are you in such a mess?" As soon as he entered the door, Chu Tang asked teasingly the man in front of him who didn't look very good-looking.
It was Zhou Ziyu whom he had not seen for a day.
He sat on a chair in the hall, facing the door. He initially saw Chu Tang's joyful expression, but after hearing Chu Tang's words, his face turned blue and white, and he looked very ashamed.
Chu Tang was not his subordinate, so he didn't need to act based on his face, but he also knew that a little sarcasm was okay, but pursuing the problem fiercely would probably completely anger Zhou Ziyu, which was not the behavior of a wise man.
Therefore, he glanced past Zhou Ziyu, who looked worried, and landed on Miss Lin'er, who was standing behind him without daring to say a word. He said with a smile: "Miss Lin'er, are you okay?"
Miss Lin'er rolled her eyes at him, snorted slightly, and didn't say anything.
Chu Tang didn't take it seriously. He took two steps forward and walked directly to the opposite table to Zhou Ziyu. He sat down across the table and picked up the teapot and teacup on the table. When he got a cup of tea, he picked it up and drank it in a big gulp. Then he took a deep breath and said, "I've been going all this way, and Chu is dying of thirst!"
Zhou Ziyu glanced at Chu Tang coldly.
Miss Lin'er said angrily: "Mr. Chu, this is not your home, don't be too presumptuous!"
Chu Tang was very surprised and said: "Even if it is your family, the visitor is a guest, wouldn't you be willing to give Chu a cup of tea? Not to mention that Chu has acted as a gentleman for you! If you include being raped, If you abandon me and let Chu face the pursuit of the Changhong Sword Sect alone, then Chu will be more rewarded for your hard work!"
Miss Lin'er was furious and speechless.
Only then did Zhou Ziyu regain his composure and realize the importance of Chu Tang again. He suppressed his excitement and asked, "Mr. Chu, did you get the thing?"
Chu Tang frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "Master Zhou, why don't you first care about whether Chu is okay?"
Zhou Ziyu also frowned.
Miss Lin'er got ahead of him and said, "Young Master Chu, aren't you okay? You are all beard and tail, and you are jumping around. You are very good!"
Chu Tang sighed: "Miss Lin'er only sees the surface and doesn't know what Chu has gone through."
"Okay! Mr. Chu, Zhou is not interested in listening to you talking about irrelevant things now. This is a special period!" Zhou Ziyu became impatient.
Chu Tang shrugged, not caring about himself, took something out of his arms and threw it on the table.
With a bang, the sound of metal falling was heard.
It was he who stole the bronze mirror frame he had brought all the way from the Changhong Sword Sect's Scripture Cave.
It's just that the shelf is now wrapped in a piece of brown cotton cloth, and its true identity is not revealed.
Even so, Zhou Ziyu's eyes lit up as he stared at the things on the table, and his voice trembled: "This is..."
"Anyway, I found it from the Changhong Sword Sect's Scripture Cave according to the clues you gave me, and it is exactly the same as what was painted in the picture you gave me. As for whether it is the bronze mirror frame you need, Chu can't be sure. "Chu Tang said lightly.
Zhou Ziyu hummed twice, excitedly picked up the shelf with both hands, and quickly opened the cotton cloth on it, revealing the true form of the shelf.
Holding the shelf and looking at it over and over for a while, Zhou Ziyu was happy and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes! This is it!" After saying that, he turned around and wanted to hand the shelf in his hand to Lin'er. .
"Wait!" Chu Tang stopped his movement.
"Huh?" Zhou Ziyu didn't know why, and his movements paused in mid-air.
Chu Tang stared closely into Zhou Ziyu's eyes, with a serious look on his face: "Did Mr. Zhou forget something?"
"Forgot something?"
Chu Tang's face turned cold and he said, "This is the second thing Chu has done for you, and it has already been completed."
Zhou Ziyu suddenly realized that after the matter was completed, the other party wanted a reward!
According to the agreement between the two parties, if Chu Tang gets the treasure map and the bronze mirror frame, he will get a seventh-level skill and a seventh-level magic weapon.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Zhou Ziyu's face.
Chu Tang's voice was filled with anger: "Why, you want to go back on your word and entertain Chu?"
Zhou Ziyu slowly put the bronze mirror frame on the table and sighed: "Mr. Chu has also seen our situation. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are in a hurry. Besides, whether it is the upper three realm skills or the seventh-level magic weapon, , are all rare things, no one can carry them with them without any trouble."
Chu Tang sneered: "You clearly asked Chu to get the bronze mirror frame last night, but you didn't prepare the things Chu wanted properly. People have to doubt your intentions!"
Zhou Ziyu said helplessly: "Actually, Zhou has made arrangements. After you get the things, you follow us to Chengjun County, and we will hand over the prepared skills and magic weapons to you. But something happened suddenly, and now we But when I came to Changjun, I really couldn’t get anything out.”
Seeing that he was sincere, Chu Tang was dubious.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziyu pushed the shelf from the table to Chu Tang and said, "Otherwise, this thing will be kept by Mr. Chu for now, and we can exchange it after we get out of Changjun and get the skills and magic weapons."
Chu Tang was stunned and said: "Master Zhou, aren't you afraid that Mr. Chu will take something and deny it?"
Zhou Ziyu smiled and said: "This thing doesn't have a bronze mirror, so it has no meaning no matter who hands it. This is why the Changhong Sword Sect has shelved it for decades. Even if they get the bronze mirror and put it together, there are no other clues. The treasure can’t be found. Besides, if Mr. Chu doesn’t admit his guilt, he can leave after getting the victory from the Changhong Sword Sect, so why bother looking for Zhou here?”
Chu Tang's eyes narrowed and he said, "Mr. Zhou has decided to kill Chu?"
Zhou Ziyu smiled and shook his head: "I just think Mr. Chu is a smart man and will definitely make the best choice."
Chu Tang looked at him and was not polite. He directly picked up the shelf and stuffed it into his arms again. He raised his head and said, "Then it's settled!"
Zhou Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief and asked Chu Tang about his experience in the Changhong Sword Sect last night.
Chu Tang recounted what happened in the first half of the night from beginning to end, concealing the details of his meeting with Feng Jianqi, and finally said with emotion: "When Chu left, both the Changhong Sword Sect and Fengqi Town were in chaos. Seeing Mr. Zhou again I left in a hurry, so I didn’t dare to trust the arrangements of those left behind by Mr. Zhou, so I left Fengqi Town alone and rushed to Changjun.”
Zhou Ziyu nodded and said: "Yes, you should be careful in extraordinary times. I didn't expect the Changhong Sword Sect to be so cunning. The so-called Scripture Cave was actually a trick they used to hide the truth. Fortunately, the information was correct, and the bronze mirror frame was indeed in the Scripture Cave. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.”
Chu Tang also sighed: "Changhong Sword Sect can become one of the best sects in Liangzhou Wulin, and it is not for nothing. But now they probably don't even know who broke into their sword sect's forbidden area!"
Zhou Ziyu took a deep look at Chu Tang and said, "Young Master Chu's Qinggong is superb and unparalleled in the world. He deserves what happened to the Changhong Sword Sect!"
When he said this, he was full of joy, which showed that his heart was full of hatred for the Changhong Sword Sect.
Chu Tang even suspected that the other party had previously arranged so-called support outside the Sword Sect, and might have taken the opportunity to kill some people from the Changhong Sword Sect.
"Fortunately, they were distracted by what happened here, otherwise I would have become their tool to kill people..." Thinking of this, Chu Tang felt happy for a while.
Suddenly, he became even more curious about what happened to Zhou Ziyu, which made him look a little embarrassed now. Chu Tang couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhou, what happened here in Changjun? That Tongfu Inn has been sealed. Fortunately Chu didn’t have time to move in.”
Zhou Ziyu's face turned extremely ugly when he heard this, and he said in a loud voice: "It's not just this Tongfu Inn that has been sealed. Zhou suspects that the entire Tongfu Inn in Liangzhou will suffer."
Chu Tang was shocked. Hearing what the other party meant, Tongfu Inn had been completely exposed.
So, Zhou Ziyu's identity is also at risk of being exposed?
Chu Tang's face suddenly became solemn and he asked: "It has come to this?"
Zhou Ziyu said bitterly: "That Huang Longfei who deserves to be killed dares to betray Zhou! One day he must be killed!"
"Huang Longfei?" Chu Tang felt that the name was somewhat familiar.
Zhou Ziyu glanced at Chu Tang and said coldly: "He is the man in the iron mask that Mr. Chu mentioned before. Zhou sent him to Gui County to do something."
Chu Tang suddenly realized that it was the six-level strongman whose brothers and sisters he had killed.
Their encounter must start with that bronze mirror!
"How could he betray Mr. Zhou?" Chu Tang couldn't figure this out.
Seeing the Iron Masked Man and his team working hard, it made people feel that they were deeply bound to Zhou Ziyu.
And Zhou Ziyu's identity is destined to always be a thorn in the court's side, and those who are close to him will definitely become the targets of the court's efforts unless there is a special reason.
Everyone got on Zhou Ziyu's boat, and walking all the way to the dark side was the right choice. Why did Huang Longfei, who was in the Sixth Realm, suddenly rebel?
"Unless..." Chu Tang's heart moved, wondering if the other party was an undercover agent sent to Zhou Ziyu by some force like him, right?
Facing Chu Tang's question, Zhou Ziyu looked at Chu Tang but hesitated to speak.
On the contrary, Chu Tang was confused by his operation and confused.
The girl next to her, Lin'er, said coldly: "Speaking of this, you have to blame Mr. Chu!"
"..." Chu Tang pointed at himself, in disbelief.
Miss Lin'er said firmly: "It's your fault!"
Chu Tang looked at Miss Lin'er, then at Zhou Ziyu, and found that the latter was silent.
I'm the clown myself?
Chu Tang was confused and couldn't accept it: "Why do you blame Chu? I...wait!"
He seemed to have some understanding, and unexpectedly said: "Because Chu helped you, the man named Huang knew about it, held a grudge, and finally sold you out without stopping?"
All he could think of was that Huang Longfei was full of hatred for him, but Zhou Ziyu cooperated with him, and the other party couldn't take revenge. Even Zhou Ziyu was hating him, and finally took a desperate risk, hoping to ruin Zhou Ziyu's big event in order to vent his anger. The hatred in my heart.
The so-called love generates hatred, this is what it looks like.
But this reason is too ridiculous!
It's so bloody that it makes one's scalp numb.
However, apart from this explanation, I really can't think of any other reason.
Zhou Ziyu sighed and said: "Huang Longfei has been working for Zhou for many years. At that time, he was only cultivating in the fourth realm. It was Zhou who cultivated him into a strong man in the sixth realm. I didn't expect that he would be so unwise. Small grievances are ignored at the expense of righteousness!"
Chu Tang was speechless.
Zhou Ziyu added: "He once asked Zhou to kill you, but Zhou refused him. He also explained to him that a real man should not dwell on small grudges, and those who achieve great things will not stick to trivial matters. He said it well in person, but Unexpectedly, he secretly hated us and found an opportunity to give us a heavy blow!"
Chu Tang had a strange expression and said, "In this case, is it Chu who ruined Mr. Zhou's important matter?"
Zhou Ziyu didn't answer this, but Miss Lin'er said angrily: "Our young master provoked Huang Longfei because of you, and he betrayed you now. If you don't blame me, who should you blame?"
Chu Tang glanced at her and did not refute, but said to Zhou Ziyu: "Chu once heard a story about a dog biting a man. Mr. Zhou, do you want to hear it?"
Zhou Ziyu still didn't understand that dog biting people was not news. Seeing Chu Tang's mysterious words, his curiosity suddenly aroused and said: "I would like to hear the details."
Chu Tang said: "There was a man who raised a dog. One day, his dog wanted to bite someone, but he stopped him. Then, the dog got angry and bit the owner instead. The owner was so angry that he killed the dog. But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that the person he rescued was also responsible. If he hadn't saved the other person, how could the dog bite the owner? So he came to find the person and asked him to compensate. Mr. Zhou, you say, Is it reasonable for him to do this?”
Zhou Ziyu didn't know that Chu Tang was insinuating him, and his face turned red and white.
Miss Lin'er said angrily: "Then why didn't you say that the man hit the dog first and made the dog angry, so the dog wanted to bite him?"
Chu Tang did not meet the little girl, but turned to Zhou Ziyu and said: "Master Zhou, when a dog bites a person, the dog is always killed to avoid future troubles. I have never heard of a person biting a dog or a person biting a person. of."
"Quia!" Miss Lin'er pouted, extremely angry.
Zhou Ziyu waved his hand and said: "Lin'er, please stop making trouble! Mr. Chu, Zhou understands what you mean. Indeed, if a dog bites someone, then we will be killed by the dog, and it will be over!"
Chu Tang smiled and said, "Young Master Zhou is wise."
Zhou Ziyu said quickly: "Speaking of killing dogs, it is not convenient for Zhou and his men to show up now, so they have to rely on Mr. Chu for help."
"Huh?" Chu Tang narrowed his eyes, thinking, what does he mean, he wants to prostitute someone for free?
"Chu was very embarrassed after being a thief for Young Master Zhou. He could no longer do the job of a killer." Chu Tang flatly refused.
Zhou Ziyu gritted his teeth and said: "As long as Mr. Chu can handle this matter, the seventh-grade magic weapon promised before can be replaced by an eighth-grade magic weapon."
An eighth-grade magic weapon?
Chu Tang was surprised and looked in disbelief.
The eighth-grade divine weapon is second only to the ninth-grade supreme divine weapon. It is said that it has strange performances after being activated.
For people in the martial arts world, an eighth-grade magic weapon cost ten thousand gold, and if placed in the arena, it would be enough to cause a bloody storm.
Why did Zhou Ziyu say that the eighth-level magic weapon was like scrap metal and could be picked up casually?
Chu Tang didn't quite believe it and asked, "Master Zhou, didn't you trick Mr. Chu?"
Zhou Ziyu's face turned red: "Zhou Yiyi promises a thousand pieces of gold, and he will do what he says!"
Chu Tang rubbed his hands and smiled like a flower: "Come on, come on, tell me carefully, where is the bastard named Huang? He dares to betray Mr. Zhou. He is so treasonous that he will die without mercy! What kind of magic soldier Chu has never cared about. , mainly because I can’t stand his behavior and want to help Mr. Zhou!”
