Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 16 Father and Son, Master Yin of Yujian Villa
Qinglonghui.

No one knows who leads it or when it infiltrated the martial arts world. It seems that the Qinglong Society has existed since the beginning of the martial arts world.

The organization is divided into twelve halls, corresponding to the twelve months of the year, and three hundred and sixty-five branches, corresponding to the three hundred and sixty-five days of the year.

It is said that their leaders are called dragon heads, and there are seven of them in total.

Its power is enormous and it appears in many stories of ancient novels.

And they often appear as villain organizations!

What’s even more terrifying is that it’s not the entire organization that shows up, but often a certain branch, a certain branch, or a certain individual.

But even so, he has become the biggest enemy of the protagonists in those novels.

You can imagine how terrifying the entire Qinglong Society is!
Unexpectedly, such a huge and terrifying organization was under the command of Zhou Ming's adoptive father Pei Ju.

But...why!

You are a villain from the Sui Dynasty, and it is one thing for you to come to the Ming Dynasty to serve as the chief minister of the cabinet, but how come you have such a huge villain force under your command?

Villains plus villain forces, this is not adding insult to injury!
But I became the other party's adopted son!
How can I survive in the future?

I also want to fight with Guo Jing, drink with Qiao Feng, and make friends with Gou Ge!

If this identity were to get out, not only would those above him, even Linghu Chong would probably come up to him and spit at him, saying, "How could I, Linghu Chong, a great hero, associate with a filthy person like you?"

In the study room.

Pei Ju said: "Now, do you understand?"

"I understand..." Zhou Ming said dejectedly, "My dream of becoming a martial artist... is shattered..."

"What a mess! I'm talking about Bai Xiaosheng's matter! After Bai Xiaosheng's death, my Qinglong Society has been plagued by countless troubles. This matter was caused by you, so you have to solve it for me."

Zhou Ming perked up and said, "Foster father, do you want me to be the leader of the four dragons?"

"I bother!"

Pei Ju spat and said, "Do you think my Qinglong Club is just a game? Which of the seven dragon leaders isn't a hero among men? You? Even if you can be a helmsman, I'm afraid you're not qualified! And you want to be the fourth dragon leader?"

"So what does godfather mean?"

"I have something here, please do it for me."

"What's the matter?"

Pei Ju said, "It is said that Zhu Wusi's subordinates at Hulong Villa include the four secret agents of 'Heaven and Earth'. They are his four most capable subordinates, and their identities are mysterious. Go and find out the identities of these four people for me."

"Ah I?"

"Don't worry, I will mobilize a group of people to serve as your subordinates."

"All right……"

Zhou Ming said, "However, if my adoptive father wants me to do something, he can just mention it. Why would he involve Bai Xiaosheng?"

Pei Ju heard this and said earnestly, "You are my son, not my subordinate. If you don't want to do something I ask you to do, you can just refuse. But this time it was you who made a mistake and caused me trouble, so even if you don't agree to it, you have to agree to it!"

Zhou Ming was stunned, then clasped his fists and said, "I understand, godfather!"

In the past six months since he came down the mountain, Pei Ju has been very busy with affairs and had a lot of things to do every day, so Zhou Ming has hardly met him, let alone talked to him as much as he did today.

This made Zhou Ming feel very upset.

But from today's conversation, it can be seen that Pei Ju has always treated him as his son.

Even the father-son relationship between the two is very harmonious, far beyond the comparison of other fathers and sons of this era.

You know, the relationship between father and son in ancient times was generally very stiff.

However, the emotions that Pei Ju expressed in his conversation with Zhou Ming just now were incompatible with this era.

This is also because of his personality.

Evil king!

What is evil?
Neither good nor evil, but both good and evil!
He understood all the Confucian etiquette and the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, but he simply disdained to follow them.

In this respect, Huang Yaoshi, the East Evil of the Song Dynasty, is somewhat similar to him.

"Godfather, are you alright? ...I'll take my leave."

"Stop, who said it's okay?"

"Um, what else?"

"Let's have dinner together tonight. A friend of mine is here to visit me, and you might as well get to know him." In the evening, before dinner started, Zhou Ming met the friend that Pei Ju mentioned.

He was about thirty or forty years old, dressed in rich clothes, with a heroic look and a big smile on his face.

"Brother Yin, you are done."

"Hahaha, I'm just doing some business. No matter how busy I am, I can never be busier than you, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty."

Pei Ju pointed at Zhou Ming and said, "Come here, this is my adopted son Zhou Ming. He went out to play a little bit a few days ago and just came back today."

Zhou Ming was about to greet him when the man spoke first, "I have a close relationship with your father. I'm the second oldest child in the family, so you can just call me Second Uncle."

Zhou Mingdao: "Yes, I've met my second uncle."

The man took out a book and handed it to Zhou Ming: "I won't let you call me Second Uncle in vain. I heard that you have entered the Xiantian realm, so this book 'Sword Qi Finger' is given to you."

Pei Ju said, "Brother Yin, you are too polite."

"Why are you being polite? What we have in abundance in Yujian Villa is various sword techniques."

The two of them sat down while chatting and laughing, and Zhou Ming accompanied them, occasionally chatting with them, but he seemed very silent throughout the whole process.

He had no choice but to remain silent!
Zhou Ming really didn't expect that his adoptive father's friend was such a terrifying person!
Even my adoptive father Pei Ju is not one hundredth as good as this person!

In the ancient Shu Kingdom, the younger brother of the owner of Yujian Villa, the powerful master Yin Zhong!
But this is just a superficial identity.

In fact, he is Tong Yinzhong, the immortal god and demon who has survived in the world for thousands of years!
In ancient times, there were gods in the world.

Later, the gods gradually disappeared, but their descendants did not die with them.

The Tong family is the descendant of a god. They have the ability to sense the heaven and earth and use magic to assist the king for generations.

There is also the Long clan, who are also descendants of gods and have been on good terms with the Tong clan for generations.

The two tribes have an agreement that disciples of one tribe are not allowed to covet the other's inheritance.

However, someone in the Tong family violated the ban and secretly learned the Long family's inherited martial arts technique, the 'Dragon God Skill'.

This person is Tong Yinzhong.

After his actions were discovered, all his abilities were immediately crippled, and he was expelled from the Central Plains along with his only daughter.

As a result, his daughter Yin Feng was bitten by a poisonous snake in the wild and died.

Tong Yinzhong was extremely angry and decided not to use the surname Tong anymore and to take revenge on the Tong clan.

He retrained his skills, recovered his fighting strength, returned to the Central Plains, lurked beside the king, and offered slanderous words, causing the king to be at odds with the Tong family and ordering the extermination of the entire family.

The one who carried out this matter was Yin Zhong!

The Tong clan learned of the news and fled in advance, and Yin Zhong led his troops in pursuit. At the critical moment, the current patriarch of the Long clan arrived, armed with the family heirloom sword and the Tong clan's most precious treasure, the "Spirit Realm", and fought Yin Zhong.

The two fought each other in chaos, with blood flowing like a river. In the end, Yin Zhong was killed by the precious magic mirror.

The Tong family was disheartened and went into seclusion, never to appear in the world again.

However, the deceased Yin Zhong gained great wisdom and enjoyed great fortune between life and death, breaking through to an unprecedented realm, comparable to gods and demons, immortal and indestructible.

But when he woke up, hundreds of years had passed.

Moreover, the injuries on his body caused by the precious spiritual mirror could never be recovered. Although he was immortal, he was constantly tormented by these injuries, and his full strength could not be fully utilized.

Therefore, Yin Zhong wanted to find the magic mirror, heal his injuries, and completely become an immortal god and demon.

He searched near the battlefield but couldn't find him. He had no choice but to get married, have children, and build his own power. He suppressed his injuries while looking for other ways to heal.

The power created by his son is the Yujian Villa in the ancient Shu Kingdom!

To this day, it has been passed down for five hundred years!
During these five hundred years, Yin Zhong was secretly controlling everything, and when crises occurred, he was the one who took action to eliminate them.

In order to avoid the secret of his immortality being discovered, he would fake his death and leave every few decades. After the people of his generation died, he would go back and kidnap the people in the villa and replace them.

The identity he uses now is actually a substitute identity.

People all thought that he was the younger brother of the owner of Yujian Villa, but in fact he was the ancestor of Yujian Villa.

Even the person who founded the villa has to call him dad!

Such a terrifying existence was right next to him, so Zhou Ming naturally didn't dare to say much, but he was really speechless in his heart.

"Not only is my foster father a villain himself, but the forces under him are also villains. How can I make friends with a villain?"

Zhou Ming sighed inwardly, his identity as a villain was something he really couldn't wash away.
