Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 60 Qingyi Building, Huo Tianqing

Outside the capital, a two-horse carriage galloped forward.

Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng each rode a horse of exotic blood, standing on the left and right of the carriage.

"Why does it feel like your carriage is faster than before?"

"Maybe it's because the weather is getting warmer, so the horses are more willing to work hard."

"Hahaha, it seems that you, the horse, were lazy before."

In fact, it was because the carriage pulled by the two horses had been replaced by a projection by Zhou Ming.

The quality of the projection is only 20%, so it is naturally easier to pull the alien-blood horse, and the speed is also faster.

Herod!
Hua Manlou suddenly reined in his horse and said, "There's an ambush."

"Oh?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at both sides of the road.

"emission!"

Seeing this, the people who were lying in ambush immediately realized that they were exposed and gave an order.

Dozens of figures immediately appeared from the dense woods on both sides, holding bows and arrows and shooting at us.

Hua Manlou leaped up and waved his sleeves. As he moved, ripples like water appeared, diverting dozens of arrows to the side.

At the same time, a graceful figure came out of the carriage, her body dancing and her hands waving. Dozens of silver lights burst out at the same time, spreading to both sides of the road.

Suddenly he screamed again and again.

At first glance, a silver needle had been inserted into the vital point of each archer.

"What an exquisite concealed weapon technique!"

Lu Xiaofeng exclaimed in admiration: "It turns out that Miss Xia Feng is actually a master of hidden weapons!"

The graceful figure that fell was Xia Feng.

Zhou Ming walked out of the carriage and asked, "Who ambushed us?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It should be Qingyi Tower."

"Tsing Yi Building?"

Zhou Ming looked from a distance and saw that the bodies of those people were all dressed in green clothes. "So the people in Qingyi Tower really do wear green clothes. Why are they looking for trouble with us?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Among the three people the Great Golden Peng King asked us to find, one is the owner of Qingyi Tower. I think he doesn't want to return the treasure of the Golden Peng Kingdom to the Great Golden Peng King, so he wants to stop us."

"Oh? Which one?"

"It is said to be Dugu Yihe, but I'm not sure."

Zhou Ming threw a bottle at him and said, "This is corpse powder. Since you're the one who caused this trouble, you'll be the ones to deal with the body."

"Corpse powder? You still have this stuff on you?"

“When you’re in the world, you need to be well prepared.”

After dealing with the body, everyone continued on their way and never encountered any trouble again.

Two days later, we arrived in Taiyuan.

As soon as he arrived here, Lu Xiaofeng heard good news.

Someone saw Dugu Yihe and several disciples coming towards Taiyuan, and they seemed to be almost there.

The Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion is located in Taiyuan, and its founder Yan Tieshan is naturally there too.

Huo Xiu lived in the mountains behind the Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion and built a small building for himself.

Now Dugu Yihe has also arrived.

This means that the three people Lu Xiaofeng is looking for will soon gather in Taiyuan, and he no longer needs to travel thousands of miles to Emei.

Everyone arrived in Taiyuan in the morning, first found an inn, and after settling in, they went to visit the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion in the afternoon.

At the entrance of the Jewel Pavilion, a handsome young man stood proudly.

"Butler Huo!"

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Why bother you to greet me at the door?"

Huo Tianqing said, "Since I am the manager of the Jewelry Pavilion, this is my responsibility. Mr. Lu, Mr. Hua, Mr. Zhou, please come in!"

Lu Xiaofeng stepped in first, followed by Hua Manlou. Zhou Ming was at the back and couldn't help but glance at Huo Tianqing twice.

Huo Tianqing smiled politely.

Only then did Zhou Ming walk into the pavilion.

The steward who was greeting us at the door had a very special identity.

Any warrior in the world who does not reach the level of a Grandmaster will eventually be affected by aging, even a Grandmaster of the Three Flowers cannot avoid it.

There was a Three-Flower Grandmaster named Tianqin Lao Ren who had been trying to break through to the Grandmaster level until he was seventy-seven years old, when he finally gave up, married, and had children.

This child is Huo Tianqing!

Old Man Tianqin founded the 'Tianqin Sect' and had two disciples, known as the 'Two Old Men of Shangshan', both of whom were masters of the second level.

Huo Tianqing calls these two people senior brothers.

A pair of iron palms, a hero who has been in the martial arts world for thirty years, the master of Yihua 'Shanxi Goose', Huo Tianqing calls him nephew!

Growing up in such a sect, he felt proud but also under great pressure.

The Tianqin Sect has a small population and is very poor.

As a young man, a young man with a special identity, Huo Tianqing naturally yearns for a better life.

Three years ago, he encountered a great disaster and was rescued by Yan Tieshan, the owner of Zhuguangbaoqige. In order to repay Yan Tieshan for saving his life, he joined Yan Tieshan and became the general manager.

But whether it was for loyalty or for the Jewel Pavilion, perhaps only Huo Tianqing knew.

Yan Tieshan probably also saw something, but was unwilling to give up the huge fame brought by Huo Tianqing's special identity, so he agreed to this.

He is just always accompanied by more than ten experts as guards.

In fact, Huo Tianqing did have some ideas, but he was not prepared to use any despicable means.

His idea was that Yan Tieshan had no children and was old, so he could take care of him until his death and then take over the Jewel Pavilion naturally.

This idea persisted until another person appeared.

a woman.

Shangguan Feiyan!

The two of them were in love and attracted to each other, but what Huo Tianqing didn't know was that this woman was actually sent by another person to influence him.

As the two of them were together, Shangguan Feiyan intentionally or unintentionally influenced Huo Tianqing's thoughts, causing Huo Tianqing to gradually change his mind.

He wanted to get rid of Yan Tieshan directly and take over the Jewel Pavilion as quickly as possible!
He then discussed the detailed plan with Shangguan Feiyan.

He thought it was his own idea, a plan he had come up with.

But what he didn't know was that from the very beginning, he was a puppet.

Another person uses a string named 'Shangguan Feiyan' to control him as a puppet!
And that person is naturally the mastermind behind everything, the real owner of Qingyi Tower... Huo Xiu!
Huo Xiu's goal, of course, is to annex the Jewel Pavilion and take over all the treasures of the Kingdom of Jinpeng!

However, now there is another person who has set his eyes on the Jewel Pavilion, the treasure, and even the Qingyi Tower!
Go through the gate and cross the covered bridge.

The lake is covered with green lotus leaves.

A water pavilion is displayed above the lake and the green lotus leaves.

Zhou Ming's eyes lit up.

really not bad!
This Jewel Pavilion is really nice!
Why didn’t I think of it before? I could build a attic directly in the middle of the lake.

I guess fishing in the lake must be much easier than fishing by the lake!

It just so happens that I'm going out this time, and I'm afraid it will take several months for me to come back.

Later, he would send a pigeon to ask people to build a water pavilion on the lake.

A few months later, when I go back, it will probably have been built.

"Lu Xiaofeng! I've been waiting for you!"

A wealthy old man greeted Lu Xiaofeng with a smile on his face and a very local accent.

Lu Xiaofeng clasped his fists and said, "Boss Yan, I'm so ashamed to have you wait here! Ashamed!"

The old man said, "It's nothing! Since it's you, Lu Xiaofeng, I'm willing to wait for three more days and three nights! What's more, there are other distinguished guests coming with us!"
