Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 63: Morality and Human Heart, Dugu Yihe

"If that's the case, why did Huo Tianqing challenge Lu Xiaofeng to a duel?"

"How many people saw Yan Tieshan being killed by Princess Danfeng? She emerged from the water and attacked us by surprise. No one except us in the Water Pavilion could see it. But everyone in the Jewel Pavilion knew that Lu Xiaofeng and the others had entered the Water Pavilion!"

Zhou Mingdao: "At this time, Huo Tianqing left with Yan Tieshan's body, and his men were naturally furious. Huo Tianqing's challenge to Lu Xiaofeng was equivalent to telling everyone that it was Lu Xiaofeng who killed Boss Yan, and he would avenge Boss Yan!"

In this way, we can gather people's hearts and inherit Yan Tieshan's legacy.

Moreover, Lu Xiaofeng is famous and powerful.

If other people wanted to avenge Yan Tieshan, they would definitely not be able to do it.

The only hope is Huo Tianqing.

With everyone gathered together, and with Huo Tianqing's accumulation over the past few years, it would be natural for him to take over the Jewel Pavilion.

This is like in Water Margin, when Chao Gai died, Song Jiang took over as the leader of Liangshan Water Margin.

But at that time, Song Jiang did not take the initiative to jump out and take over as the leader of the camp.

Instead, his brothers fanned the flames and supported him, calling him brother all the time.

Everyone supports Song Jiang, so the leader of Water Margin is naturally Song Jiang.

Even Chao Gai's close confidants were unable to compete with him.

But Song Jiang still did not take over immediately, but competed with Lu Junyi.

Of course, he will definitely be the winner in the future.

After all this, Song Jiang finally became the complete master of Liangshan Marsh.

Huo Tianqing's current actions are similar.

He was originally the most trusted steward under Yan Tieshan, and now he was fighting a decisive battle with Lu Xiaofeng under the slogan of revenge for Boss Yan.

Everyone is united, and the hope of the Jewel Pavilion lies on him.

If he doesn't take the position of leader, who will?

Once things have settled down, he will tell everyone that there is a hidden story behind this matter, that our boss was actually wrong, and morally speaking, we should not avenge him.

In this way, Boss Yan's reputation will be hit, and at the same time a battle with Lu Xiaofeng can be avoided.

This way, there is no need to seek revenge.

But he has firmly secured the position of Pavilion Master.

However, under this plan, two things happened that he had not expected.

First, when they heard that he was going to have a decisive battle with Lu Xiaofeng, the people from Tianqin Sect actually showed up on their own initiative and threatened to die in order to force Lu Xiaofeng to give up the decisive battle.

That’s what’s happening now.

If Zhou Ming hadn't left, he might have been able to see the scene of moral kidnapping with his own eyes.

Secondly, although he planned this matter, he was actually just a pawn in Huo Xiu's hands.

So naturally all the subsequent plans came to nothing.

Su Shaoying didn't think clearly about the twists and turns that followed, but he understood the meaning of Zhou Ming's words.

Somewhat incredulously, he said, "No... No way, how could Huo Tianqing be such a person? This is just your one-sided statement!"

"Hahaha……"

Zhou Ming patted his shoulder and said, "This Jianghu world is full of chaos and deception. Someone as naive and hot-blooded as you won't make it. Listen to my advice. Stay in Emei and don't go down the mountain casually.

By the way, I would like to visit my respected teacher Dugu Yihe, and would like to ask Young Master Su to introduce me to him."

Su Shaoying was very angry about Zhou Ming's first part of the sentence, but when she heard the second part, she asked in surprise, "How did you know I was from the Emei Sect? And how did you know I was Su Shaoying?"

"Hahaha, in this Jewel Pavilion, apart from the servants, who doesn't know your identity?"

"Ah? You mean, Huo Tianqing, Boss Yan and the others all know?"

"What do you think?"

"This……"

Su Shaoying recalled the time she had been acting in front of those people to hide her identity. Suddenly, a wave of embarrassment washed over her, and she wished she could dig a hole in the ground with her toes.

He suddenly felt that what Zhou Ming said made some sense.

The world of martial arts is too complicated, he wants to go back to Emei!
Lu Xiaofeng heard the news of Dugu Yihe's upcoming arrival after arriving in Taiyuan.

But according to the lag of information, Dugu Yihe had actually arrived in Taiyuan City at this time.

Even nearby.

There are many Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries all over the world. It is very common for fellow Taoists to help each other and register elsewhere if they are in other places.

There are various Taoist temples and Buddhist temples on the famous Mount Emei.

Although generally speaking, it acts as the Emei Sect.

But from an internal perspective, there are Buddhism and Taoism, and various factions exist.

Dugu Yihe was the famous Grandmaster Erhua of the Taoist sect in Mount Emei. When he came to Taiyuan City, he found a Taoist temple to stay overnight.

This Taoist temple is none other than the place where Huo Tianqing and Lu Xiaofeng had an appointment to fight, Qingfeng Temple!

It is located on the hill behind the Jewel Pavilion.

Dugu Yihe has many disciples, and they are known as the "Three Heroes and Four Beauties" in the martial arts world.

Su Shaoying is one of the 'Three Heroes'.

He also followed Dugu Yihe's orders to hide his identity and enter the Jewel Pavilion.

Now that Dugu Yihe has arrived, he will naturally be notified.

He was really simple-minded and directly brought Zhou Ming to Qingfeng Temple to meet Dugu Yihe.

Dugu Yihe has a straight back and black hair and beard. If you look at him from the back, he looks like a young man.

But if you turn to the front, you can see the wrinkles on his face.

A lot, very deep.

Only then did I realize that he was already an old man.

Standing behind him were four pretty women, none other than the 'Four Beauties'.

"Shaoying, why are you back? And who is this person?"

Zhou Ming clasped his fists and said, "Junior Zhou Ming, I pay my respects to Senior Dugu! I have heard of your great name from my adoptive father Pei Ju. It is truly legendary!"

Dugu Yihe's serious expression relaxed instantly, revealing a hint of a smile: "So you are the son of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. I have heard of your reputation. Please take a seat!"

"Yes."

Zhou Ming sat down, and Dugu Yihe asked, "Why did Master Zhou come with Shaoying?"

Zhou Mingdao said, "Senior Dugu just arrived today, so I'm afraid he doesn't know what happened yet. Let Brother Su explain first."

"Well, Shaoying, what happened?"

Su Shaoying nodded and then started talking about what happened after she came to the Jewel Pavilion.

There is nothing much to say before, because his identity is basically public, so almost nothing has been found out.

The key is what happened today.

That's wonderful!
Halfway through listening, Dugu Yihe was suddenly startled and asked, "Do you still want to fight Ximen Chuxue?"

Su Shaoying said: "Yes, it's a pity that Mr. Zhou stopped him, otherwise..."

He said no more.

Because Dugu Yihe already had an expression as if he was looking at a fool.

Su Shaoying was dissatisfied: "Master, Ximen Chuxue is from the younger generation, and so am I. Why can't I fight him? Master Zhou, you and Ximen Chuxue are companions. What do you think of my strength compared to his?"

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "Fifty-fifty. If he strikes you with five swords, you will die five times."
