Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 125: Little East Evil Yang Guo, the God of Catching the Iron Fist
The backyard of Guo’s house.

The sword flashes like the wind, fierce and intimidating.

"Go to Quanzhen Sect?"

The sword light faded and the long sword was sheathed.

Yang Guo curled his lips and said, "I'm not going."

Guo Fu said, "That's what my father said!"

"I won't go even if he says so!"

Yang Guo turned around, used his Qinggong skills, and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?"

Guo Jing appeared behind him at some point, and with a wave of his hands, an invisible force grabbed Yang Guo and prevented him from escaping.

Sighing, Guo Jing said, "I know you resent what happened back then, but that wasn't Quan Zhen's fault, it was mine! Besides, those people apologized to you many years ago, so what's there to be grudged about?"
The people of Jianghu call me the Great Hero, and my cousin the Great Hero, because I am here in Xiangyang resisting the Yuan army, and because my cousin is in the court, pacifying the people and providing countless support to Xiangyang. Therefore, the greatest heroes serve their country and their people."

He spoke earnestly, "The founder of Quanzhen Sect made it his lifelong ambition to fight against foreign races. After his death, Quanzhen Sect also took this as its goal. Whenever the Yuan army marched south, Chongyang Palace would send people to support them.

Over the years, under their call, Quanzhen branches all over the world would often contribute manpower and manpower, but not to help me, Guo Jing, but to help Xiangyang resist the Yuan army!
You should have witnessed these things with your own eyes, but you have always been blinded by the obstacles before you. The current situation with the Quanzhen Sect is very likely a plot by the Yuan Kingdom. I asked you to help, but you refused. Aren't you narrow-minded?"

Yang Guo felt ashamed by what he said and said, "Just go, why are you nagging so much? It's annoying!"

The next day, after packing up their luggage, Yang Guo, Guo Fu, Wu Dunru, Wu Xiuwen, together with Zhuifeng and Lengyu, left Xiangyang and headed towards Zhongnan Mountain.

In the evening, they arrived at a small town to rest. Zhuifeng asked curiously, "Brother Yang, I heard that you also studied Quanzhen Sect before. Did you hear about the Ancient Tomb Sect back then?"

Yang Guo's face turned cold and he said, "I don't know."

Zhuifeng knew he had asked the wrong question and immediately shut up.

After dinner, he pulled Guo Fu aside and asked, "Miss Guo, did I say something wrong just now?"

Guo Fu said, "Your entire sentence is wrong."

"what?"

Guo Fu said, "I shouldn't have said much about this matter, but since you are traveling with me to the Quanzhen Sect and are investigating this matter, I think you will know about it, so I will tell you first.

Yang Guo was originally the son of an old friend of my father, but he had a tragic fate. Both his parents died when he was young. He was found by my father at the age of fourteen and taken home..."

At this point, Guo Fu hesitated for a moment and continued, "Later, my father sent him to Quanzhen to learn martial arts, but I didn't expect..."

Most of the people in charge of Quanzhen Sect are in seclusion all year round, which leads to fierce competition for power among the three generations of disciples.

Yang Guo joined the Quanzhen Sect at this time and was inevitably involved in it.

Especially since the person he became his disciple was Zhao Zhijing, who was not good at fighting, had a narrow mind, and liked to fight for power and profit.

Being an apprentice under this man is certainly not a good thing.

After hearing this, Zhuifeng secretly took this matter to heart and said, "I never expected the situation within the Quanzhen Sect to be like this!"

"Who said it wasn't? Even my dad didn't expect it."

"Then how did Brother Yang leave Quanzhen?"

Guo Fu said, "Because he met someone there. Senior Brother Zhuifeng has been in the capital for a long time, so he should know that person."

Zhuifeng's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Could it be that it's Prime Minister Pei's adopted son... Zhou Ming?"

"That's right!"

It's really him!

Zhuifeng had never thought that Yang Guo would have something to do with Zhou Ming.

Thinking back to when Master and Zhuge Shenhou were still in the capital, they discussed the case and speculated on two major possibilities behind it.

One is the Yuan Dynasty.

The other one is Pei Ju.

Maybe we can get some information from here.

Zhuifeng continued to ask, "What happened next?"

"later……"

Yang Guo entered Chongyang Palace at the age of fifteen, and Zhou Ming was about the same age. At that time, he had already been in Zhongnan Mountain for five years.

At that time, he had almost learned all the martial arts of Quanzhen Sect and the Tomb School, and he could not leave Zhongnan Mountain too far. He wanted to study the triggering conditions of his own plug-in, but he had no good way.

Just then Yang Guo brought it to him.

As a major character, Zhou Ming really wanted to know whether changing the fate and plot of the protagonist would affect the activation of his own plug-in.

So he took bold action to help Yang Guo.

Yang Guo was alone and had no one to confide in when he was bullied in Chongyang Palace. But he was not like that. He directly wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Xiangyang.

It tells the story of the many conflicts within Chongyang Palace.

After reading it, Guo Jing had to believe it, so he came to Chongyang Palace again. He found that everything written in the letter was true, so he went directly to find Qiu Chuji.

Seeing this, Qiu Chuji asked Zhao Zhijing and others to apologize, then dissolved his master-disciple relationship with Yang Guo and sent them away from Chongyang Palace.

Before leaving, Guo Jing naturally wanted to find Zhou Ming to thank him.

Zhou Ming gave him an idea, asking him to send Yang Guo to Huang Yaoshi to be taught by him.

Huang Yaoshi, nicknamed the East Evil, is a man who does what he wants and doesn't care about worldly rules. Yang Guo, on the other hand, has been hanging around in the market since he was a teenager and has done everything to survive. He is also a man who doesn't care about worldly rules.

The two hit it off immediately and had a great conversation, almost giving Huang Rong an uncle.

In the end, Yang Guo became Huang Yaoshi's fourth disciple Lu Chengfeng and became Huang Yaoshi's apprentice.

Although he was just a disciple, he still kept him by his side and taught him carefully.

Yang Guo was extremely talented and soon acquired a lot of skills. He once killed many Yuan army soldiers outside the city of Xiangyang, thus becoming famous.

Because he inherited the unique skills of Huang Yaoshi, the East Evil, he was nicknamed "Little East Evil".

Later, Zhou Ming also guided Yang Guo to find the sword tomb outside Xiangyang City.

Of course, this is mainly to obtain Dugu Qiubai's swordsmanship from the Divine Condor.

The Divine Condor is a spirit, but not just anyone can gain its recognition and learn swordsmanship from it.

Yang Guo can do it.

But Zhou Ming is not necessarily so.

So Zhou Ming instructed Yang to go find the Divine Condor, and he was indeed recognized by the Divine Condor. Under the Divine Condor's guidance, Yang practiced excellent swordsmanship.

However, the Yang Guo of today is not the Yang Guo in the original novel, so his swordsmanship level is only at the level of sharp sword, or at most slightly beyond it, barely reaching the level of soft sword.

Zhou Ming also learned all the sword techniques that Yang Guo learned through the mark.

Guo Fu naturally didn't know the details of this.

She only knew that Yang Guo was lucky enough to have received a sword from a divine bird.

Zhuifeng sighed, "I didn't expect this Mr. Zhou to be so kind-hearted!"

"Yes!"

Although Guo Fu had never met him, she had a good impression of him. One reason was because of his help to Yang Guo, and the other was because Zhou Ming had sent supplies to Xiangyang several times in the past few years.

Zhuifeng said, "It seems we really did say something wrong. It's getting late today, so I will definitely apologize to Brother Yang tomorrow morning."

He then returned to his room and had a conversation with Leng Yu.

Leng Yu was also surprised. "This Mr. Zhou is actually such a person? It's true that like father, like son. So, we must have been prejudiced against him." Zhui Feng nodded and said, "We can't investigate his father and son from here. Let's focus on what's going on within Yuan State and Chongyang Palace."

"Ah."

The next morning, Zhuifeng sincerely apologized to Yang Guo.

Yang Guo naturally wouldn't care about such things.

The group set out again, and a few days later, they arrived at the foot of Mount Zhongnan.

At the foot of Mount Zhongnan, in a small town, people coming and going are all martial artists holding swords and carrying knives.

Several people walked through the town, and roughly estimated that the number of people they saw alone was no less than a hundred.

And what they didn't see was probably even more.

Everyone felt something was wrong, so they walked through the town and up the mountain road. Halfway through, they encountered several Quanzhen disciples blocking their way. Seeing them coming, they immediately focused their attention and waited.

Yang Guo's eyes fixed, he walked to the front of the group and asked, "Lu Qingdu?"

One of the disciples was surprised for a moment, looked at Yang Guo twice, and suddenly his expression changed drastically: "You are... Yang Guo?!"

"Not bad! It seems that you still remember me!"

How could Lu Qingdu not remember?

When Yang Guo became Zhao Zhijing's apprentice, Zhao Zhijing's attitude towards him was not very friendly. Lu Qingdu looked at Zhao Zhijing's expression and thought that Yang Guo was just a soft persimmon, so he took the lead in bullying him.

But later, when Guo Jing went up the mountain again, Qiu Chuji severed the relationship between master and disciple and asked Zhao Zhijing to apologize. Only then did Lu Qingdu realize that there was such a powerful background behind Yang Guo.

No...you are so important, why didn't you tell me earlier!

Lu Qingdu felt very regretful.

After Yang Guo left, Zhao Zhijing had no place to vent his anger, so he took it out on Lu Qingdu, making Lu Qingdu's life even more miserable.

In recent years, the Quanzhen disciples who came back to support Xiangyang also talked about Yang Guo, who has now become a young master in the martial arts world.

When they met again now, Lu Qingdu was really shocked and frightened.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Yang Guo sneered, and his eyes seemed to flash with sword light, which was frightening.

Lu Qingdu was so frightened that he took two steps back, saying in horror: "What...what do you want to do? This is Chongyang Palace..."

Seeing this, Yang Guo immediately lost interest.

The person who bullied him in the past is still only at the acquired realm and is still patrolling this mountain road.

But he himself has become an innate warrior and is famous in the martial arts world.

For a moment, even the thought of revenge was reduced a lot... It must be said that Yang Guo was truly a child raised by Mu Nianci and taught by Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Even though he had experienced many hardships, kindness was his underlying character.

Yang Guo restrained his aura, turned around and snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Leng Yu stepped forward, took out a token, and said, "I am Leng Yu, one of the Four Great Constables and a disciple of Guo Juxia of the Dali Temple. I have been ordered by my master to come to the aid of Chongyang Palace and to make a public announcement."

Shortly after.

In front of Chongyang Palace, several people greeted him with smiles: "Third Junior Brother, Fourth Junior Brother, you are finally here!"

Zhuifeng and Lengyu smiled: "Big Brother, Second Brother!"

They are the eldest of the four great detectives, Wu Feng, and the second, Tie Quan.

Wu Feng said, "Here are also the third generation disciples of Chongyang Palace, Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zhijing."

Zhuifeng said: "Raise the dog, raise the dog!"

"what?"

Several people were stunned, and Wu Feng quickly explained: "Please don't be offended, my third junior brother is from Guangdong and speaks with a heavy accent. This means I have long admired him."

"Oh," Yin Zhiping said, "We are also well-known for the names of the Four Great Constables."

As for Guo Fu, Yang Guo and others, he knew them all.

Chongyang Palace is the ancestral temple of Quanzhen, but the headmaster Ma Yu had already died of illness. Among the other seven Quanzhen disciples, Qiu Chuji was the strongest, so he temporarily took over as the headmaster.

After meeting Qiu Chuji, several people exchanged information with each other.

Qiu Chuji frowned: "So, it is very likely that the Yuan Dynasty was behind this?"

Wu Feng nodded: "Not bad!"

Zhao Zhijing frowned and said, "This is clearly the trouble that the Ancient Tomb Sect caused outside. How is it related to the Yuan Kingdom?"

Yang Guo immediately retorted, “There are only a few people in the Ancient Tomb Sect, and they are not in Zhongnan Mountain right now. How did they get into this trouble?”

"Beauty is a disaster, that's all!"

"Humph! Your brain is always stupid!"

"What did you say?" Zhao Zhijing was furious.

"I said you are stupid!" Yang Guo refused to give in.

Although there is a big age gap between the two, their strength is not that different.

The Quanzhen Sect's exercises are orthodox Taoist exercises with a solid foundation and very low bottleneck difficulty, but progress is slow.

Yang Guo's mother laid the foundation for him since he was young, and he later learned the internal skills from Peach Blossom Island and got help from the Divine Condor. Now his cultivation level is only slightly behind Zhao Zhijing.

But his swordsmanship is exquisite and his moves are powerful enough to surpass Zhao Zhijing's.

The two were tit for tat.

Zhao Zhijing felt that Yang Guo's gaze was like a sharp sword, which frightened him and made him lose his momentum.

Yang Guo said, “If it’s just about the rumor, we can just dispel it. I’m afraid those people won’t believe it even if they hear it, and won’t leave even if they do believe it!”

Seeing this, Yin Zhiping stepped forward and held Zhao Zhijing down, making him avoid the sharp edge.

Zhao Zhijing also took advantage of this opportunity to hide behind, feeling embarrassed and secretly angry.

Yin Zhiping said: "We have tried to refute the rumors several times in recent days, but unfortunately the effect was very poor."

Leng Yu said, "The Quanzhen Sect refuted the rumor locally, but it continued to spread. This fact itself speaks volumes."

Although Chongyang Palace is weak, the Quanzhen faction is spread all over the world.

Even if Chongyang Palace did not deliberately ask other factions for help, they took the initiative to refute the rumors, which is also very prestigious.

But it couldn't stop the spread of rumors, which is really thought-provoking.

"What's more, we still can't find the source of the rumor..." Yin Zhiping said: "All these things can prove that the person behind this is extremely powerful. I'm afraid it is really the Yuan Dynasty!"

Wu Feng said: "The Quanzhen faction is spread all over the world, and the Yuan Kingdom hides in the dark and dares not show up. It only dares to play this conspiracy. I am afraid it is also afraid of this.

Under this rumor, if martial artists clash with Chongyang Palace, resulting in casualties or even the destruction of Chongyang Palace... the other Quanzhen factions can only hunt down these martial artists, and the Yuan Kingdom will not be held responsible!

Yin Zhiping said: "The Yuan Dynasty's plan is truly vicious!"

Wu Feng said, "There are already nearly two hundred martial artists gathered at the foot of the mountain. Among them, there must be people from the Yuan Kingdom hiding in the dark. Although we have stopped them at the foot of the mountain, they are definitely simmering with anger, just waiting for someone with ulterior motives to secretly instigate them. I'm afraid a conflict will break out."

Qiu Chuji stood up and said coldly, "Humph! A bunch of scoundrels, do you think I'm really afraid of them?"

Wu Feng hurriedly said, "Master Changchun, calm down! Although the power of the Quanzhen Sect is enough to stop these people, if we clash with them, we will offend countless forces. If there are casualties, the situation will be even worse.

Besides, this is a Yuan Dynasty strategy. If we really fight, wouldn't that play into their trap? In my opinion, we should try to avoid it."

Yin Zhiping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Could it be that the detective has a plan?"
