Chapter 220 Infiltration
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Well, to be honest with you, I have turned the City Lord's Mansion upside down during this period of time, but I couldn't find the two maps. I was thinking about how to explain this to you."
Zhou Chen naturally would not believe his nonsense, "How is that possible, he must have maps in his hands, and one of them was given to him by me."
"Brother, don't worry. Let me look for it. When I find it, I will send it to you immediately."
At this time, a monster walked in, and when he saw Zhou Chen here, he immediately saluted him. Zhou Chen nodded without saying anything. He came to Wu Meng and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Okay, got it," and then said to Zhou Chen, "Brother Zhou, I have things to do now. You go back first. I will send it to you as soon as I find it."
Then he left the yard first without waiting for Zhou Chen to leave. After he left, Zhou Chen couldn't help but curse, "You old fox is cheating on me."
Zhou Chen was practicing in the room late at night when he suddenly heard something unusual. He opened his eyes and rushed out of the room, only to see a monster falling from the roof. After it landed, Zhou Chen realized it was Xiaohu.
This guy disappeared after City Lord Guo died. How come he appears here now? If I remember correctly, this guy is City Lord Guo’s confidant. He disappeared that day because he didn’t want to follow Wu Meng.
"Brother Zhou, save me."
Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward to help him up. Two minutes later, several monsters broke into Zhou Chen's mansion. They didn't care about Zhou Chen's identity as the deputy city lord at all and moved around the mansion at will.
Suddenly Zhou Chen appeared in front of everyone, and after a few slapping sounds, everyone was slapped by Zhou Chen.
Just as they were about to get angry, they were stunned after seeing the person in front of them, "Why are you the deputy city lord?"
"Hmph, I should be the one saying this. Why did you show up in my house in the middle of the night?"
"Sir, we are here on the order of the city lord to capture the fugitive Xiaohu."
"So that's how it is. You can leave now. I don't have any little tigers here."
"Sir, we clearly saw him sneaking into your mansion before." He had just said half of the words when a chill swept over his body.
"I've told you before, I don't have any little tigers here. If you don't believe me, let the city lord come and search it himself. Get out of here."
As soon as the word "roll" came out, the air around them dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant. Everyone shuddered and quickly left.
After the Eye of Insight was activated and Zhou Chen confirmed that the guys had really left, he returned to the room.
At this time, Xiaohu was lying on his bed, dying. There were several wounds on his body, and blood was oozing out. Zhou Chen stepped forward and used his magical power to rejuvenate.
Under the huge vitality, his wounds healed quickly. Ten minutes later, all the wounds on his body were basically healed. The external injuries had been healed, and as for the internal injuries, they only needed a little treatment for a period of time.
Xiaohu got off the bed, half-knelt down and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhou, for saving my life."
"Brother Hu, you're welcome," he said as he helped him up.
"Brother Hu, what happened to you? How did you get such serious injuries?"
"Well, it's a long story," Xiaohu then explained to him what had happened during this period. Since the death of City Lord Guo, all the subordinates who were originally loyal to the city lord had surrendered to Wu Meng.
Wu Meng accepted us on the surface, but he didn't trust us from the bottom of his heart. In just a few days, all our old brothers were eliminated by him for various reasons.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and escaped in advance, so I was not framed by him. Unfortunately, the entire Qiufeng City is his territory. After escaping for a few days, I was finally caught by him. If it weren't for my former brothers who risked their lives to save me, I would have been killed by him now. "Brother Zhou, you should also be careful. Although you are now the deputy city lord, I estimate that Wu Meng will definitely take action against you, but it's not the time yet."
"Well, I also discovered it. Don't worry, I have been prepared. It's not that easy to kill me. By the way, Brother Hu, I want to ask you something."
"What is it you want to ask?"
Zhou Chen did not beat around the bush and asked directly about the hiding place of the two maps. Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "Although I don't know where City Lord Guo would hide that thing, based on my understanding of him, it is either in the storage ring or in the secret room in his room."
After chatting for a while, Zhou Chen let him rest and went to another room. The next morning, Wu Meng came to Zhou Chen early.
"Sir, you came to me so early. Have you found something?"
"Hey, don't mention it, we haven't found it yet."
"Then what brings you here?"
Wu Meng smiled and said, "I heard that a thief sneaked into your house last night. I came here to see if anything was lost."
"Your Excellency is joking. There are no thieves. Besides, there is nothing valuable in my house. I am not afraid even if a thief comes in."
"Haha, Brother Zhou is really good at joking. Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. I came here this time just to tell you that I have to go out for a while for something recently. During this time, everything in the city will be left to you."
Zhou Chen did not ask much, but just said, "Since you have something to do, just go and do it. You can rest assured that I am here in Qiufeng City." After chatting for a while, Wu Meng left.
From casual chatting, Zhou Chen learned that the Lord of Qiushan Territory was going to get married in a few days, and this guy was going to attend the Lord's wedding.
Zhou Chen was not interested in this. It was a good opportunity for him to go to the City Lord's Mansion and look around while this guy was away to see if he could find anything.
Time passed quickly and it was already the evening three days later. Wu Meng left Qiufeng City at dawn today. Now the most powerful person in the city is Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was not polite and immediately put on his nightgown and came to Wu Meng's courtyard. This courtyard was located in the center of the City Lord's Mansion and was Wu Meng's usual residence. Apart from Wu Meng, there were only a few female demons serving him.
These banshees look pretty good, but their strength is extremely poor. Zhou Chen sneaked in as soon as it got dark. With the information provided by Xiaohu, Zhou Chen quickly found a secret room. According to his information, Wu Meng also knew about the existence of this secret room.
The secret room is not very big, only about 30 square meters, and it is filled with various treasures. According to Xiaohu's guess, the things should be in this secret room. If not, then they can only be in Wu Meng's storage ring.
The outer perimeter of the secret room is protected by a formation, and the Eye of Insight cannot see through it at all. However, now that we have entered the secret room, the Eye of Insight is no longer obstructed.
In an instant, everything in the secret room appeared in his mind in a three-dimensional form. After a careful search, Zhou Chen found that there was nothing here that he was looking for.
Then Zhou Chen opened his eyes in disappointment and punched the box next to him angrily. The heavy box was smashed to pieces on the spot.
The noise was so loud that it alarmed the banshee outside. Zhou Chen rushed out immediately with quick eyes and hands. Before the banshee went out to call for help, Zhou Chen had already arrived in front of him and grabbed his neck.
"Shut up, if you dare to make a sound I will break your neck," the banshee nodded quickly in fear. Zhou Chen thought for a while and asked, "I want to ask you if you have seen two strange maps."
