Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 142: The Yuwen Clan's Plot, Two Dragons Enter the Jianghu
"Have you found the craftsman I asked you to find?" Yu Wenzhi asked.

No matter what, he has now obtained the secret of immortality and it is time to proceed with the next plan.

That is to say, the plan was to forge the secret of immortality and give it to Yang Guang, so that Yang Guang would practice the wrong martial arts and thus go astray and die.

"This……"

Yuchi Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Even for the most famous craftsman in Yangzhou, it would be extremely difficult to forge it, and I'm afraid his loyalty cannot be guaranteed. In addition, the materials are also a problem..."

"alright, I got it."

Yu Wenzhi nodded, not much surprised.

Yang Guang was a tyrant, but not a fool.

Legend has it that the secret of immortality is woven from black gold silk threads, which are invulnerable to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire. This is why Yu Wenhua had this plan early on and was determined to obtain the original secret of immortality.

It is precisely by obtaining the original and forging it according to the original that it is possible to deceive Yang Guang.

Yu Wenzhi also collected many rumors about the secret of longevity and had already prepared craftsmen and materials.

But unfortunately, after what Taoist Baisun did, countless people in the entire Yangzhou city were secretly watching the General Administration's Office and Yu Wenzhi.

Unfortunately, the 4,000 elite soldiers he brought with him were all killed, the five five-tooth warships were all destroyed, and his trusted subordinate Zhang Shihe also died.

Even with the secret of immortality, he didn't dare go out.

Not to mention bringing it back to Daxing City.

The local craftsmen in Yangzhou were naturally not as good as the skilled craftsmen he carefully selected, and materials were also a big problem.

This directly led to the failure of the entire plan.

Tapping.

A man came with loud footsteps. Yu Wenzhi moved and hid behind a screen.

Yuchi Sheng sat in the main seat.

"Report to the chief steward, a letter has arrived with a pigeon carrying a different blood!"

"Alien blood pigeon?"

Yuchi Sheng was startled, and already had a guess in his mind, so he said, "Bring it here quickly."

"Yes."

The subordinate then came in and handed him a sealed roll of long silk.

"Go down."

"Yes."

After his men left, Yu Wenzhi came out and Yuchi Sheng handed the letter in his hand to Yu Wenzhi.

"The only person who can use the alien blood pigeon at this time is probably Yang Guang."

Yu Wenzhi spread out the silk as he spoke.

At first glance, it was indeed Yang Guang.

"Humph, this tyrant is quite well-informed."

"Come to urge the longevity secret?"

"That's right." Yu Wenzhi nodded. "A centipede is still alive even after death. Even though rebellions are raging everywhere, the power Yang Guang controls is still strong. That's why I'm going to implement this plan!"

Yuchi Sheng frowned: "But now, let alone planning, even just leaving Yangzhou City would be a difficult task!"

"Yes..." Yu Wenzhi sighed, took out a black gold scroll from his arms and spread it out.

Yuchi Sheng's eyes moved slightly, and he had an urge to move closer to take a look.

After all, that is the secret of immortality!
But in the end, he didn't move.

Yu Wenzhi saw through his thoughts and said, "If you want to see it, come and have a look. You won't understand it anyway."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Yuchi Sheng couldn't help but move closer with joy, but when he took a look, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Thousands of oracle bone characters are carved on this scroll.

Not to mention how difficult it is to discern the oracle bone inscriptions, just look at the size of these oracle bone inscriptions. They are like ants, with thousands of them crowded together. How can you not feel dizzy?
As for the seven meridian maps, he could naturally understand them, but he found them even more strange.

You know, the internal skills texts are very complicated.

For example, the Xiao Wuxiang Gong mentioned earlier requires that on the first day, the true qi flows through one meridian, and there is a certain number of times. On the second day, it flows through another meridian, and there is also a certain number of times required.

And this is just the beginning; it will become more complicated later.

These extremely complex movement routes cannot be described by a simple picture.

But as the saying goes, the simplest way is the best way. In fact, some more advanced exercises are actually simpler in terms of the routes of exercise.

However, advanced skills have more advanced requirements.

For example, the secret of longevity requires a desireless heart, as well as talent, state of mind, and the absence of other true qi in the body.

As for those more intermediate-level exercises, although the exercise routes seem complicated, in fact, there are no other requirements besides the exercise routes.

When it comes to lower-level skills, the route becomes much simpler.

But this kind of simplicity is simple purely because it is low-level.

It is different from the simple principle of the Changsheng Jue.

However, Yuchi Sheng had never seen any martial arts of the same level as the Changsheng Jue.

Not to mention him, even Yu Wenzhi had never seen him.

Therefore, both of them only regarded these seven pictures as a simple guide to the exercises, and the real focus was still on the oracle bone inscriptions on the bookmark.

The result is without a doubt, one cannot even understand it, let alone practice it.

"Do you understand?" Yu Wenzhi asked.

"I...I am stupid and don't understand it at all." Yuchi Sheng said helplessly.

Yu Wenzhi said: "Me too."

He closed the scroll and continued, "But just now, I came up with a way to leave Yangzhou safely."

"What method? Huaji, just tell me. As long as you can do it, I will fully cooperate!"

Yu Wenzhi said, "I intend to send a pigeon to Yang Guang, asking him to send someone to take over this secret of immortality and hand it over to them, so that they can take it back to Yang Guang!"

Yuchi Sheng's eyes lit up, and he said, "This method is brilliant! This way, we can transfer the problem of the Changsheng Jue directly to Yang Guang... Haha, if we secretly spread the news and let those who covet the Changsheng Jue attack Yang Guang's subordinates, we can also greatly deplete Yang Guang's strength."

"Foolish! What if Yang Guang's subordinates fail to perform their duties and really lose this secret of immortality?"

"This...I have not considered it carefully."

Yuchi Sheng quickly admitted his mistake and said, "But in this case, we can only create a fake immortal secret in Yangzhou, but the craftsmen and materials here in Yangzhou..."

Yu Wenzhi shook his head: "I'm not talking about the fake immortal secret, but the one in my hand... the real immortal secret!"

"what?!"

Yuchi Sheng was shocked: "No, this true secret of immortality is a magical skill that can achieve immortality. How can we give it to Yang Guang? What if Yang Guang masters it..."

"You misunderstood. What I meant was that since the craftsmen are not capable enough and the materials are insufficient, we can just use this original to forge it!
When the time comes, hand over this secret of longevity to Yang Guang!

Of course, beforehand, we can make a copy of the contents of the scroll and keep it for ourselves!"

"This……"

Yuchi Sheng thought for a moment and said, "This method is feasible, but...but this is the secret of immortality! If we make mistakes when copying it ourselves..."

"That only proves that we have no destiny with this divine skill, and are destined to never master it!"

Yu Wenzhi said seriously.

"Yuchi Sheng, you have to understand that for beggars, living in this world is the greatest suffering. Only for those kings, generals, dignitaries, and even emperors, continuing to live, and living longer, is the real life! Therefore, it is this group of people who are the most crazy and obsessed with immortality in this world. And none of the beggars on the street want immortality!"

He said slowly, "For me, immortality only makes sense if I can restore the former glory of the Yuwen family and even conquer a wider territory. Otherwise, I'd rather just live for a few short decades!"
Yang Guang is our biggest obstacle right now. How can we stop eating because of choking?
The secret of immortality? Not to mention that I can make a copy and keep it, even if I can't, for the sake of the Yuwen family's great cause, I can give it to Yang Guang!"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Sheng deeply felt Yu Wenzhi's determination.

Although he still felt a little regretful, he clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, I will go find a master of ancient Chinese literature and have him reproduce the secret of immortality here!"

"Hmm..." Yu Wenzhi nodded, then pretended not to care and asked, "By the way, have you found those two thieves?"

"not at all."

"Wanted with all our might!"

Yu Wenzhi said: "If it weren't for these two thieves who dared to steal the secret of immortality, how could things have come to this point?
Since you have ruined the affairs of my Yuwen clan, don’t even think about getting away with it!

Remember, these two little thieves must come back alive!"

"Yes!"

Yuchi Sheng had no suspicion and left.

Yu Wenzhi looked at his departing back with a distant gaze.

In fact, Yu Wenzhi did not care about the secret of immortality as much as he appeared to be.

The reason why I came up with this idea was more out of helplessness.

Given his current situation, even if he could leave Yangzhou smoothly, he would become the target of countless masters in the entire Sui Kingdom and even the entire Nine Provinces.

The hot potato of the secret of immortality must be transferred away.

Otherwise, if a great master really came one day, how would he bear it?

Therefore, the righteous speech just now was only made out of helplessness.

The secret of longevity can bring you longevity!

Naturally, he also wanted to keep it in his hands.

But, I can’t keep it!
He could only make a copy and use the original as bait to lure Yang Guang into the game, forcing him to send a master to help him solve the current troubles, and at the same time transfer the big problem of the Changsheng Jue to Yang Guang.

Besides this, Yu Wenzhi also has a secret that only he knows at present.

They are Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, two people who have actually mastered the secret of immortality.

Another great benefit of killing all the people at the dock is that as long as Yu Wenzhi knows about this matter.

No one else, even Yuchi Sheng, knew anything about it.

"If those two little thieves had any self-awareness, they probably wouldn't have spread this story. As for that female assassin... I'm afraid she's already in the underworld..."

Yu Wenzhi thought to himself, "This way, as long as we catch those two thieves as soon as possible, this matter will be foolproof!"

He probably wouldn't have thought that the two little thieves he was thinking about had already returned to Yangzhou.

pier.

Around the huge block of ice, there was an endless stream of martial artists armed with swords and knives.

They all came to see the relics left behind by the great masters.

Pay your respects to the corpse of the Grand Master Baisun Taoist.

Perhaps because Taoist Baisun was wearing a loose black robe, the same black robes in Yangzhou were sold out recently.

Most of the people who come here are dressed the same way.

Under such circumstances, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were also wearing black robes and came here, were not very conspicuous.

With the help of the sunlight, the two of them could vaguely see a black figure in the middle of the ice.

"Dad..."

Kou Zhong's eyes suddenly turned red: "It's all because of us two unfilial sons that we have caused trouble for you, Dad..."

Xu Ziling wiped his tears and said, "...When we met today, we couldn't even kowtow to you..."

After experiencing such an incident, both of them have obviously matured a lot.

While wearing black robes to hide their faces, they also knew that they could not do anything strange in front of this huge piece of ice.

Otherwise, the hidden eyes around would probably be locked on the two of them in an instant.

The fact that the two of them were able to return to the dock and take a look at the body of Taoist Baisun was already a very bold and risky act.

But they can't stay for too long.

It's cold here, and no one from the martial arts world would stay here for more than a few hours.

Most of them just look for a few minutes, walk around a few times, satisfy their curiosity, and then leave.

No matter how sad and reluctant they were, they just looked at the other people in the martial arts world for a few minutes and then left.

Driving the carriage, the two men left Yangzhou along the official road.

Passing a forest on the road, the two couldn't help but look into the distance.

Even though they were blocked by the mountain, both of them knew that behind the mountain would be the valley where a major turning point in their lives would take place!
for a long time.

Only when they realized that even the mountain was out of sight did the two of them turn around.

"Young Master Ling, I want to avenge my father!" said Kou Zhong.

Xu Ziling laughed and said, "Of course, Daddy risked his life for us, how can we not seek revenge?"

Kou Zhong said, "But this path will be difficult. Yu Wenzhi's identity is not simple."

Xu Ziling said, "I know. Miss Fu mentioned before that they were once the royal family, one of the largest clans in the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, we brothers must attack together to have any hope of revenge!"

Kou Zhongdao said, "It's not just Yu Wenzhi, but also the man who supports him behind the scenes... Yang Guang!"

Xu Ziling laughed and said, "The Emperor... Everyone says that the Emperor is a true dragon. However, as long as we two dragons join forces, what can the Emperor do?"

"Hahaha, Master Ling is right, so what if he's the emperor!"

From the carriage, the young man's heroic laughter, which looked down upon the world, could be heard.

Just as Yu Wenzhi expected, Fu Jun'er would not live long.

Although she was rescued, she only lasted half a day before she died of her injuries.

During this half day, she specifically explained to Shuanglong the current situation of the Sui Dynasty, especially Yu Wenzhi and the Yuwen clan behind him.

Fu Jun'er knew very well that she was about to die.

But she hasn't done what she wanted to do yet.

The only way, naturally, is to entrust it to the two young men in front of him who have mastered the secret of immortality and made the great masters risk their lives to save them.

She did not state her purpose directly.

Instead, he used other means to make the two teenagers understand how terrifying Yu Wenzhi was.

Even so, as long as the two of them learn to hide their weaknesses, with their potential, they will be able to kill Yu Wenzhi sooner or later.

As Yu Wenzhi was Yang Guang's minister, if he was killed by the two men, naturally, they would also confront Yang Guang.

But I am afraid Fu Jun'er would never have thought that the complicated relationship between Yu Wenzhi and Yang Guang
All I can say is that Fu Jun'er still doesn't understand the court of the Sui Dynasty.

But fortunately, the two dragons had lofty ambitions, and Yuwen Huaji could not suppress them. Instead, they wanted to destroy Yang Guang.

To some extent, Fu Jun'er has achieved her goal.

"only……"

Kou Zhong took out an ancient jade from his arms and asked, "I wonder what the purpose of this jade that Lady Fu gave us is?"

The ancient jade was in his hand. As the carriage swayed, the words "Long Live" were clearly visible on the jade.
