Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 119: Give Me Face, Exorcism Stratagem
"Give you a face?"

Shi He couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

Gongsun Lan, standing beside him, said, "A strange-blood carriage, accompanied by five beauties... It seems we're lucky. We've run into Zhou Ming, the adopted son of the current Prime Minister, Pei Ju."

"Pei Ju's adopted son?" Shi He frowned.

This would be a bit troublesome.

The four brothers, tiger, lion, elephant and leopard, were extremely disdainful.

Wu Hu snorted coldly and said, "He's just a little kid, how can he have any face? The Prime Minister of the dynasty? He's not here!"

Zhou Ming's tone turned cold, and he raised the red sword in his hand, emitting a burning aura: "So, you guys are not giving me face?"

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became solemn.

Yagyu Tajima stood by and laughed secretly. He was still thinking about how to divert the trouble to the other side and let the two sides fight each other, so as to give himself a chance to escape.

However, no one expected Zhou Ming to take the initiative to speak and confront the other party.

Next, as long as the two sides fight, he will have a chance to escape.

But just then——

"stop!"

A voice came from high in the sky, and when the voice fell to the ground, the man also fell to the ground.

It's gin!

Shi He felt relieved. To be honest, he might be a little afraid of Pei Ju.

Rumor has it that Pei Ju's subordinates may very well possess the power of a grandmaster.

As a disciple of Mu Dao Ren and a former member of Wudang, he naturally knew that the rumor was not false.

That's why he was wary of Zhou Ming, fearing that he would offend Pei Ju.

But Gin's origins are mysterious, and the organization behind him is powerful, so he must not be afraid.

However, what he didn't expect was that Jinjiu smiled and said, "Yin... Young Master, why are you here?"

Zhou Ming also laughed and said, "I was wondering who was chasing Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, it turns out it's you. I've been traveling all over the world, and I'm resting here tonight."

Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard this.

Especially vodka and Gynura.

Who would have thought that this mysterious gin was actually related to Pei Ju's adopted son!
Yagyu Tajima no Kami felt a dark sensation before his eyes.

Finished!

These two parties actually know each other!
Jin Jiu's eyes fell on the sword in Zhou Ming's hand and he said with a smile, "I hadn't noticed that this Changhong Sword fell into the hands of the young master."

"It was also a stroke of luck that I found this sword on the seashore."

"Congratulations!"

Jin Jiu clasped his fists and said, "Since the young master wants Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, I can't possibly compete with him. I'll just give him some face."

"But……"

Wu Hu glanced at Gao Tao on the ground and said, "Kill that guy..."

"Noisy!"

Gin shouted, interrupting him directly.

The four brothers, tiger, lion, elephant and leopard, couldn't help but feel angry in their hearts, but then they felt a pain in their necks and a warm liquid flowed down.

When he reached out and touched it, he saw a sword mark on his neck that had cut through the skin.

And all four of them had it on their necks!
The four of them felt a sudden pang of fear in their hearts and broke out in cold sweats.

When did we get tricked?

There was absolutely no awareness, no warning.

It seemed as if a sword mark suddenly appeared.

If... if this sword mark went a little deeper...

The four of them simply didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Because Mu Dao Ren became a grandmaster, they, as Mu Dao Ren's subordinates, naturally also had to share some of his glory.

Gin seemed to be of the same level as Mu Dao Ren, but they did not have much awe in their hearts.

Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing I didn’t offend anyone before.

In the field, Zhou Ming said: "I want to keep this Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, it's just a personal matter. If you need anything else, I will naturally leave it to you."

"It's okay, this person doesn't have much influence."

Jinjiu said, "Give my regards to your father!"

"withdraw!"

At a command, everyone quickly left with Gao Tao's body.

Zhou Ming signaled that everyone except Li Mochou should go to the vicinity of Yagyu Tajima to block all his escape routes.

Seeing that Gin and the others had not gone far, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami naturally did not dare to move.

Zhou Ming also saw them go away, then he said: "Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, are you ready to surrender obediently, or fight us?"

"Then do you still need to ask?"

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami held his samurai sword across his chest and glanced at several people.

Although these people are just maids of others, they are all extraordinary in strength.

Chunhua's swordsmanship is exquisite, especially the soft sword she uses. Her moves are strange and can often attack places that normal people cannot reach.

Xia Feng is good at using hidden weapons and is extremely fast. He may be weak at close range, but if he cooperates with others, he will become the most deadly threat.

Qiuyue holds the guqin in her hand, and her best skill is the extremely rare sound wave skill. While she plays the guqin, even if there are a hundred or eighty people, they cannot get close to her.

Dongxue was trained by herself. Whether it is her own unique move, the God of Killing Sword, or her Snow Floating on the World, they are all extremely sharp and unmatched sword moves.

Moreover, after this unfilial daughter defected to the other side, she also learned other tricks.

The current situation is that the opponent knows his moves very well, but he doesn't know much about the opponent's moves.

When these four people joined forces, their swordsmanship was powerful, their swordsmanship was strange, their hidden weapons were tricky, and their sound waves were pleasant to the ears. Ordinary masters were no match for them.

Although Yagyu Tadama-no-kami is a master, he is only a master of one flower.

Moreover, in order to escape, he had used a desperate fighting style and took a palm strike from Gao Tao before killing him.

With this injury, his strength has been further reduced. How can he withstand the combined forces of these four people?

But he naturally didn't want to surrender.

"It's not that there is no chance..."

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's gaze swept over Zhou Ming.

This person's strength is only at the Innate True Qi realm, and he is the one that the other four must protect. It can be said that this person's biggest weakness at the moment.

If I could repel it, there would be a glimmer of hope of escape.

"It seems you are going to fight to the end?"

Zhou Ming seemed to be unaware of his own crisis and asked calmly.

"Of course!"

With a loud shout, the sharp sword in Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's hand slashed directly towards Zhou Ming.

It is also his strongest move - killing the god with one blow!
Zhou Ming's eyes moved, and he thought: Overlapping projections!
Taoist Baisun's projection directly overlapped with his own body.

The next moment, a crimson sword light emerged, and the fiery high temperature instantly dispelled the cold and sharp sword strike of the God of Death.

The sword light slashed through, and the sword light of the God of Death was shattered, and even the samurai sword in the hand of Yagyu Tajima no Kami was cut into two pieces.

The remaining sword energy fell on his chest, leaving a straight sword mark.

There was no blood. The scorching heat had burned the wound to a charred black.

Yagyu Tajima no Kami took two steps back, feeling a sharp and fiery force penetrate his body from his chest, flowing through his limbs and bones, burning his meridians.

The intense pain made him unable to help but open his mouth and scream, but the moment he opened his mouth, a stream of fire spurted out, and there were faint signs of forming a flame.

thump!
Yagyu Tajima-no-kami fell to his knees, his face filled with despair.

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "Why did you choose to attack me? Do you think I'm a pushover?"

Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami didn't answer. Instead, he stared at the crimson sword in his hand and asked, "What kind of sword is this?"

His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, obviously his throat was burned by the burning anger.

"Changhong Sword! Jinjiu just said that, didn't you listen?"

Yagyu Tajima no Kami naturally heard this, but he never imagined that such a mere sword could have such divine power!

Of course, the strength that Zhou Ming unleashed at this moment did surprise him.

The combination of the two led to his defeat at the first blow, and his anger took over his heart. Now his meridians were burning, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

Zhou Mingdao: "I will spare your life, but I only ask one question: who is your superior?"

"Humph!"

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami snorted coldly, showing no intention of answering.

Zhou Mingdao: "I don't have much patience. Let me ask you again, who is the person above you?"

"Don't ask any more questions, just kill me."

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami said hoarsely.

Who is the person above him?
Of course it was the Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi.

Zhu Wusi had the ambition to usurp the throne many years ago, and for this purpose he gathered a large number of forces under his command, including forces from Japan.

If Yagyu Tajima-no-kami doesn't say anything today, he will die.

But if they told it... hehe, the Yagyu family would probably be in trouble.

However, Zhou Ming, who was familiar with the plot, actually knew this a long time ago.

He came here specially today, and his main purpose was to show himself in front of Mu Dao Ren and other winery staff.

The winery is now growing in size, and there are many ruthless people among them.

Although he recruited these ruthless people into the winery because he wanted to watch them have fun.

But if these people met Zhou Ming, they probably wouldn't give him any face.

It would be bad if, for fun, your subordinates didn't recognize you and killed you, or ruined your own business.

Therefore, Zhou Ming came here this time just to show up.

The secondary purpose is for winter snow.

As for the current inquiry, it is just an excuse.

Seeing that Yagyu Tajima-no-kami said nothing, Zhou Ming pointed the Changhong sword in his hand at his throat.

Even though the temperature was adjusted by Zhou Ming, it was lowered a lot.

But the surging heat still made Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's cheeks red.

He closed his eyes, waiting for the next death, but the high temperature in front of him suddenly disappeared.

When he opened his eyes, Zhou Ming had already put the Changhong Sword into the scabbard.

"As the saying goes, the grace of giving birth is greater than heaven! Three years ago, you sent Dongxue undercover, but then abandoned him, repaying her for giving birth. Today, I will repay you for raising me on her behalf.

From now on, Dongxue will have nothing to do with you, Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, or the Yagyu family!"

"Master!"

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami had not reacted yet, but Dongxue was extremely moved and threw herself into Zhou Ming's arms.

Zhou Ming hugged Ruonyu and shouted, "Get out of here!"

Although I have made up my mind to die, who would be willing to give up when there is a chance of survival in front of me?

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami immediately stood up, turned around and rushed to the side of the road.

Before leaving, he didn't even look at Dongxue.

He was injured in his upper body, and most of the damage to his meridians was also in his upper body. Now he poured his true energy into his legs. Although his speed was greatly reduced compared to before, he could still be considered running fast.

After running for two quarters of an hour, he stopped and took a short rest.

But an old man in Taoist robes had already fallen behind him at some point.

seaside.

thump!
Mu Daoren dropped the unconscious Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami on the beach, looked at Jinjiu, and said, "If we capture him now, won't it cause a conflict with Pei Ju's adopted son?"

Gin shook his head, "No. Since he released Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, it means that his affairs have been dealt with. Since they have been dealt with, it doesn't matter if we catch him again."

Taoist Mu asked, "Could it be that Pei Ju has some connection with the organization? Why would you, an adopted son, have to speak for him?"

Hearing this, the people around pricked up their ears and listened.

Jin Jiu said, "Pei Ju is the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty. He holds great power in the government and has a terrifying force under his command that spans the entire world. He himself is even a powerful figure at the Grandmaster level, but that's not enough for the organization to care about."

"Then why..."

"Haha, you know Pei Ju is Zhou Ming's adoptive father, but do you know who his biological father is?"

"My biological father? Could he be some important figure?"

Jin Jiu patted his shoulder and said, "When you become a cadre, you will have the authority to mobilize intelligence in this area."

After hearing this, Taoist Mu stopped asking questions.

The others also focused their attention and went about their own business.

At this moment, Mai Zihao came over with a rather unhappy expression on his face: "Dear seniors, this is bad. The Sword Manual of Exorcism on the ship has been stolen!"

"what?"

Shi He frowned: "Although we have just left, aren't there still three Xiantians left on the boat?"

These three innates are the masters of the Giant Whale Gang.

Mai Zihao said, "Although that's true, after we landed, there were four or five people who came onto the boat and started causing trouble. The innate masters on board were simply unable to cope with them!"

"The requirement of castration before practicing the Exorcism Sword Manual has probably been spread long ago, but there are still so many people eyeing the Exorcism Sword Manual?"

Shi He was also surprised.

As someone who comes from an orthodox Taoist sect, it is indeed difficult for me to understand these people's desire for a set of eunuch sword techniques.

"It doesn't matter!"

Jin Jiu walked over and said, "The more people in the world practice martial arts like the Exorcism Sword Technique, the more beneficial it will be for us!

Even if no one stole the sword technique, I would definitely spread it. Now someone has come to help me, I am so happy!"

"Is... is that so?" Mai Zihao wiped the cold sweat from his head and felt a little relieved.

Jin Jiu said, "The Giant Whale Gang's next plan is to take the bodies of these local tyrants and wanderers, claim that someone covets the Sword Manual of Exorcism, and unite with the wanderers and local tyrants to attack the Giant Whale Gang.

Using this as evidence, we will destroy the families behind these people and pave the way for the Giant Whale Gang's development. At the same time, we must vigorously publicize it so that everyone knows that the Giant Whale Gang's possession of the Exorcism Sword Manual is legitimate and that it has been stolen!"

"Yes!"

"The second step is to wait until this news spreads throughout the world, then publish all the sword styles and movements of the Exorcist Sword Manual directly in the Jianghu Monthly or other newspapers, explaining the physical changes after practicing this sword technique, so that everyone in the world will know this!"

Taoist Mu's eyes lit up and he said, "Great! The way to practice the Exorcism Sword Technique is special, it will inevitably be reflected in the body, and once it is put into action, the sword style and sword path will be revealed.

If these two points were known to the world, then anyone who practiced the Exorcist Sword Technique would be easily seen through by those around them. By then... I'm afraid they wouldn't have a place in the martial arts world anymore!"

Jinjiu nodded: "If we recruit them to join the organization at this time, we will get twice the result with half the effort!
But after this, there is a third step, and a fourth step!"

Mu Daoren said: "I would like to hear the details."
