Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 58 Two thousand miles, six thousand miles!
Lu Xiaofeng's nickname is Four Eyebrows.

Because his eyebrows were indeed straight and black.

At the same time, his mustache was trimmed the same as his eyebrows.

This is how he got the nickname Four Eyebrows.

Lu Xiaofeng was very proud of his beard, so he was very accepting of this strange nickname.

It was impossible for Zhou Ming to fail to recognize Lu Xiaofeng after he lost his mustache. He just said this to tease him because he saw that Lu Xiaofeng had lost his mustache.

"Old Lu, why did you shave your beard for no reason?"

"This... Lao Hua, you talk to him!"

Hua Manlou nodded and said, "This is what happened..."

To put it simply, the former little prince of the Golden Peng Kingdom has grown up and is now the Great Golden Peng King.

However, the three people who had taken away the treasure of Jinpeng Kingdom in the past did not look for him, but instead took the treasure for themselves.

Of course, this is what King Jinpeng and Lu Xiaofeng said.

Therefore, he wanted to ask Lu Xiaofeng to help him find the three people who took away the wealth of Jinpeng Kingdom and ask them to return the wealth!
They are also required to repent before the spirit tablet of the late king!

However, over the past few decades, these people have become well-known figures in the world.

One has the support of Emei Sect and is very skilled in martial arts.

One of them founded the Jewelry Pavilion and his business flourished.

The last one is mysterious, but also extraordinary.

It is not easy to find these three people and make them return the wealth.

So, Lu Xiaofeng decided to call for help.

Before that, they went to find Ximen Chuxue first.

Although Ximen Chuxue is from the younger generation, his swordsmanship is top-notch. Even those old martial arts masters over sixty years old are no match for Ximen Chuxue.

Someone once praised him as the greatest swordsman in the past three hundred years.

He also said that without considering one's cultivation level, even some grand masters are not as good as him in terms of swordsmanship alone!
Ximen Chuxue also proved with facts that he deserves these praises!
To date, no one has survived his sword.

However, Ximen Chuxue concentrated on practicing swordsmanship and only went out four times a year.

Even if Lu Xiaofeng was his friend, there was nothing he could do if he wanted to ask him for help.

But Ximen Chuxue gave him face.

He agreed to take action, but on one condition!
"So, you shaved your beard?"

"Hmm!"

"hiss!"

Zhou Ming gasped, "Ximen Chuxue is truly talented! Why didn't I think of this before? Compared to this, digging for earthworms is child's play!"

"Depend on!"

Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes.

Zhou Mingdao said, "Old Lu, I know you're nosy, but in the past you've always been involved in your friends' affairs. Why are you meddling in strangers' affairs this time?"

Hua Manlou said, "That's because Princess Danfeng, the daughter of the Great Golden Peng King, is as beautiful as a flower."

Zhou Ming nodded: "Oh? I see!"

Lu Xiaofeng curled his lips and said, "Old Hua, don't just talk about me, talk about you too. I haven't even met that girl named Shangguan Feiyan!"

Zhou Ming turned around and looked at Hua Manlou in surprise: "I thought Lu Xiaofeng was the only lecher, but I didn't expect you, Old Hua, to be one too... Hey! Let's not have any contact from now on. There's nothing good to talk about with you two lechers!"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Why don't you take a look at the four maids around you before you speak!"

After some banter, Lu Xiaofeng said, "We're here this time to ask you to come with us to solve this matter. If you have any conditions, please state them!" Zhou Ming sighed and said, "I really want to make an offer, but I really don't have the time right now. My adoptive father thought I was idle at home, so he found a master for me to learn from."

"Master? Who is that?"

"It's Wudang Mu Daoist." Zhou Ming said, "After Master Zhang's birthday, I will formally become his disciple."

Lu Xiaofeng had a few questions in his mind: "I thought you were going to Wudang Mountain to become a disciple right now? I didn't expect it to be after Master Zhang's birthday. Doesn't that mean you have to wait until April 19th? There are still a few days left in March. Why are you going so early?"

Zhou Mingdao: "From the capital to Wudang Mountain, it's such a long distance, it will naturally take some time to walk!"

"distant?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "The journey from the capital to Wudang Mountain is about the same as your last trip to Baoding. Driving your carriage, it's only a little over two days. If you just ride a horse, you can go even faster."

Are you planning to walk instead of riding? That would take a month!"

Zhou Ming said, "Old Lu, why don't you get wise? When was the last time we went to Baoding? It was winter! It was freezing cold, everything was withered, and there wasn't anything interesting to see on the road. We might as well go quickly.

But what time is it now? Spring! Everything is coming back to life, and the temperature is rising. From the capital to Wudang Mountain, it's over 2,000 miles. So many beautiful mountains and rivers to pass through!

Lao Lu, there are so many beautiful scenery, don’t you want to see it?”

When Lu Xiaofeng heard this, he nodded repeatedly.

"Now, do you still think I left early?"

"Not early! Not early at all!"

As Lu Xiaofeng spoke, he slammed the table and said angrily, "Why did I take on this lousy job with King Jin Peng at this very moment?!"

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "Old Lu, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I plan to set off on March 1st. If you can resolve this matter within a few days, perhaps you can join me and travel these two thousand miles!"

One...two thousand miles!

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but think of the delicious dishes he had eaten.

But the last time we traveled together, it was only two or three days.

But this time, it may be more than a month!
Even longer!

No, just for this bite of food, I absolutely cannot let go of this opportunity!
Lu Xiaofeng made up his mind instantly.

But he didn't have much confidence that he could resolve this matter within a few days.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the journey.

Yan Tieshan’s Jewelry Pavilion is in Taiyuan.

However, Dugu Yihe's Mount Emei is located in Sichuan, thousands of miles away.

Even a horse with different blood would have to run for several days.

It is impossible to solve it in a short period of time.

However, since Lu Xiaofeng had already promised the Great Golden Peng King, he naturally would not go back on his word, let alone be perfunctory.

His head was spinning rapidly, and suddenly an idea came to him. He stood up and laughed.

"Hahaha... Old Zhou! Although your plan is very good, I would say it's too narrow!"

"What's narrow?"

"Your horizons are too narrow!"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to wandering around... er, I mean traveling, I, Lu Xiaofeng, am definitely an expert!
You travel from the capital to Wudang, a journey of two thousand miles, full of novelty. But what about the return trip? It's just a repeat of the journey, which is not very interesting!
And the so-called scenery is only stunning at first glance, but after seeing it more often, it becomes just so-so. You can only see a famous scenic spot for two or three days at most, and then you will get tired of it.

So the time you allocate for yourself is too long...

Since we have so much time, why don't we travel more?

What’s two thousand miles?
I'll give you a number... six thousand miles!"
