Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 14: Suddenly heard Xie Yanke, back to Beijing to see his adoptive father

"Trash! You can't handle such a small thing!"

A big hand came across and the next moment, the perspective fell in a trance.

....................................

Zhou Ming deactivated the Mark function and thought to himself, "There really is someone behind these bandits. It's just unfortunate they were completely silenced... However, the man who just attacked, although tall, looks to be in his thirties or forties, yet still has a fair complexion and no beard. Could he be a eunuch?"

Is it the East Factory?
Or is it the Western Factory?
It doesn’t matter. I have already memorized the man’s appearance. I will search for him slowly when I return to the capital.

At this time, he passed through a town and stayed in an inn to rest.

There is a storyteller in the inn, who is currently telling the story of Xie Yanke, a well-known master in the martial arts world.

"Huh? Why are you talking about Xie Yanke out of the blue?"

Storytellers are an important channel for many ordinary people to understand the world and the world.

But except for a few highly skilled storytellers, most people like to tell stories of love or take advantage of hot topics in order to attract more customers.

For example, when the Plum Blossom Thief was rampaging around the world, storytellers in every inn and teahouse in the streets and alleys were all telling stories about the Plum Blossom Thief.

So to some extent, the stories told by storytellers often reflect the current hot topics in the world.

In this small town, someone suddenly started talking about Mr. Motian and Xie Yanke. There must be a reason for this.

After a while, Xia Feng came back and said, "Master, I asked around and found out that this Motian Lay Buddhist has reappeared in the martial arts world."

"Oh? Xie Yanke is back in the martial arts world again?"

Zhou Ming was surprised.

This master was a loner with few friends. He lived alone on the sparsely populated Motian Cliff for many years, studying martial arts.

That's why he got the elegant name of Motian Jushi.

The most famous thing he did was to cast three black iron orders and give them to his three benefactors, saying that anyone holding a black iron order could ask him to help do something.

He also kept his promise and did what the first two Black Iron Orders required no matter how difficult they were.

For a while, the third black iron order became a treasure that people in the martial arts world fought over.

However, a few years ago, the third Xuantie Order appeared in the world. The owner was a little beggar, who had already been taken away by Xie Yanke.

And that little beggar was actually Shi Potian, the protagonist with the most incredible luck in the gold-themed martial arts novels, also known as 'Dog Brother'.

"I remember in the original storyline, Xie Yanke brought Gou Ge to the Motian Cliff, hoping that Gou Ge would use the third Black Iron Token to free himself from the constraints of the three Black Iron Tokens. But Gou Ge never asked for help, so the two of them remained in a stalemate, forcing Gou Ge to live on the Motian Cliff for several years.

Later, it was because Gou Ge was kidnapped and taken away by someone that Xie Yanke reentered the martial arts world. So, could it be that Gou Ge's story has already begun?

Zhou Ming thought.

It’s a pity that the places where Dog Brother’s stories take place are quite far away, otherwise it would be nice to see Dog Brother’s innocent heart with my own eyes.

Speaking of which, the reason why Gou Ge has this nickname is, on the one hand, because of his life experience, and on the other hand, because Gou Ge has a local dog named Ah Huang.

This dog is amazing. When the dog brother was holding it to sleep, the dog accidentally circulated its internal energy and poured the internal energy into Ah Huang's body. As a result, Ah Huang, by chance, also possessed internal energy and learned internal energy.

It is truly the first dog in the world that has internal energy.

I wonder if this kind of coincidence can be replicated...

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming said: "Chunhua, when you go back, raise a few dogs at home."

"what???"

Chunhua was stunned. They were just talking about Mr. Motian, so why did he suddenly think about raising a dog?
What is the train of thought of our young master?

But having been with him since childhood, she has gotten used to it.

"Yes, Master, I've made a note of it."

"Hmm..." Zhou Ming nodded: "Since we already have dogs, let's get a few cats to prevent them from being lonely."

"Yes..." Capital.

"Oh... it's still more comfortable to lie down at home..."

Zhou Ming lay down on the couch and said.

Even though the mechanical carriages built by the skilled boss Zhu Ting have largely solved the problem of stability, they are still far behind the high-speed trains of previous lives.

What’s even more frustrating is that this journey takes two or three days.

If it weren't for martial arts skills, how could an ordinary person withstand it?

"Master," Uncle Qiang walked in and said, "The master ordered that if you return, you should go see him immediately."

"Godfather? Okay, but I just got back and I'm dusty. I need to change my clothes before going."

Many people envied Zhou Ming and thought that he was extremely lucky to be adopted as the son of the prime minister of the time.

Zhou Ming himself had complicated feelings.

Pei Ju... Many people may be unfamiliar with this name, but if it is changed to another name, it will definitely be well-known.

Shi Zhixuan!
The evil king Shi Zhixuan!
That’s right, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, the current Grand Tutor, Pei Ju, is actually the evil king Shi Zhixuan who came from the six paths of the demon sect in The Twin Dragons of Tang Dynasty!

In the original story, Shi Zhixuan is a martial arts grandmaster from the Demonic Sect and an extremely charming villain.

In this world of martial arts, he didn't know what happened, but he ran to the Ming Dynasty and became the chief minister of the cabinet and the grand tutor of the dynasty.

Zhou Ming was grateful to his adoptive father for taking him in, but at the same time, he was a little wary of him.

It's not just because of his identity, but also because of the inside story of his adoption of Zhou Ming.

That was shortly after he awakened his memories of his past life, when this body was probably one year old.

In a beautiful small village, his seriously ill biological father entrusted himself to Shi Zhixuan.

Zhou Ming still remembers the meaning revealed in the conversation between the two.

His father entrusted him to his care with conditions.

Shi Zhixuan also received some things from his father before agreeing to help raise him.

Later, my father died of illness.

He followed Shi Zhixuan to the capital and became his adopted son.

The most important thing is that Zhou Ming still doesn’t understand why his adoptive father sent him to Quanzhen to learn martial arts?
Although Quanzhen Sect was once powerful, it has shown signs of decline since the death of its founder Wang Chongyang.

Moreover, the Quanzhen Sect's martial arts were not considered top-notch in this world. Wang Chongyang was indeed a brilliant man, but he died young. When he died, he seemed to be only at the Grandmaster level.

On the other hand, Shi Zhixuan has already become a powerful grandmaster!

Wouldn't it be far better for Zhou Ming to learn martial arts from this great master than to follow the Quanzhen Sect which doesn't even have a master at the moment?
At that time, Zhou Ming was really worried that his adoptive father just wanted to find a reason to drive him away.

Fortunately, later events proved that my adoptive father did not think so.

However, ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and the relationship between the two sides eventually faded.

In the past six months after coming down the mountain, my adoptive father was very busy, and the two of them often could not see each other for ten days or half a month.

He also had no requirements for Zhou Ming and let him do whatever he wanted.

Unexpectedly, today, Zhou Ming would go to see him.

Why?
"Is it because of the Plum Blossom Bandits?"

Zhou Ming thought about it, but then shook his head. This little thing might not even catch his adoptive father's attention.

Never mind, you'll know when you meet.

Zhou Ming simply washed himself and changed his clothes, then followed Uncle Qiang to the study and met his adoptive father Pei Ju.
