Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 70: Demolishing the Bridge, Unexpected Factors

A cold breath coming from behind startled Huo Tianqing.

This force is so powerful!
However, he was in the air at the moment and had no way to dodge.

You can only carry it hard!

All the energy in his body rushed to his back, and the next moment, a cold breath hit him directly on the back, knocking him away.

Princess Danfeng, who was in his arms, also lost her balance and flew out, hitting the ground.

Huo Tianqing lay on the ground, his whole body stiff and frozen into ice.

This cold and gloomy energy was more than ten times stronger than the casual palm strike during the previous battle.

Fortunately, he had transferred his true energy to his back in advance to resist. Otherwise, if this force entered his body and penetrated into his meridians, he would probably immediately become like Princess Danfeng.

What he is doing now is actually the best way to deal with the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm.

Avoid being hit, or defend yourself when you are hit so that the palm force cannot actually enter your body.

If you fail to do this, and the cold palm power enters your body and wanders through your meridians, that will become a real big trouble!
Even so, Huo Tianqing was frozen stiff and unable to move for a while.

Sun Shou picked up the long sword, ignored Huo Tianqing, and came to Princess Danfeng.

Princess Danfeng was lying on the ground, shivering from the cold, with pieces of ice on her face and eyebrows.

When she saw Sun Shou's figure appear in front of her, she was already filled with despair.

Sun Shou raised his sword high: "You deserve to die...Shangguan Feiyan!"

Princess Danfeng's eyes widened in shock.

Shangguan Feiyan? !
He...he actually knew that he was Shangguan Feiyan!
Only Huo Tianqing and Huo Xiu know this disguised identity!

But this person is obviously not Huo Tianqing's subordinate, so it must be... Huo Xiu?
By the way, now that Yan Tieshan is dead, the Jewelry Pavilion should be controlled by Huo Tianqing.

But now, Huo Tianqing has obviously been driven away by Sun Shou.

In other words, the next person to take charge of the Jewel Pavilion must be Sun Shou.

And in secret, how could Huo Xiu, who actually formulated this plan and wanted to swallow up the Jewelry Pavilion, allow such a thing to happen?
Unless... Sun Shou is actually Huo Xiu's man?

He is here to kill me!

Unload the mill and kill the donkey!
Burning bridges across rivers!

Huo Xiu!!!!
Princess Danfeng... No, Shangguan Feiyan roared in her heart.

But in reality, she was so cold that she couldn't even utter a word, and could only watch the long sword approaching!

"stop!"

The sound has not arrived yet, but the person has arrived first!
A figure appeared beside Princess Danfeng at some point, and accurately grasped the blade of the long sword with two fingers.

The seemingly slender fingers were able to pin the long sword in the office, preventing it from moving forward at all.

A clear finger!
There is no doubt that the person who came to the rescue was Lu Xiaofeng.

But at the same time, another figure approached the battlefield at some point.

He looked ordinary, wearing a white scarf and mourning clothes, and seemed to be a servant in this glittering and luxurious pavilion.

At this moment, just this servant approached the battlefield, and two red silks flew out of his hands. As nimble as a snake, they wrapped around Princess Danfeng's body and pulled her to his side with just one pull.

Then, without waiting for others to react, he picked up Princess Danfeng, used his lightness skills, and leaped away.

Seeing this, Sun Shou immediately gave up on Lu Xiaofeng in front of him and chased after the man.

But the man had superb martial arts skills and disappeared in the rain with just a few leaps.

Sun Shou couldn't catch up in time and had to return, his face looking gloomy and ugly.

Zhou Ming's brows also furrowed.

He had expected Lu Xiaofeng to come to his support.

After all, this guy didn't use his full strength at all.

Even though he was drunk and his condition was affected, he could not be dealt with by some small minions.

Sure enough, at the critical moment, he immediately displayed his superb lightness skills and blocked Sun Shou's knife with a single finger.

But the other person's move was beyond Zhou Ming's expectations.

At this time, there was actually someone who intervened and rescued Shangguan Feiyan?

He was obviously not a servant of the Jewel Pavilion; that identity was just a disguise.

Red satin...

That's it!

Zhou Ming immediately thought of this person's true identity. Although she had rescued Shangguan Feiyan, this did not completely deviate from Zhou Ming's plan.

Zhou Ming knew from the beginning that he could not kill Shangguan Feiyan, after all, there were Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou on his side.

Even Dugu Yihe might stand against Sun Shou at a critical moment.

In secret, there is another Ximen Chuxue.

But just saying that sentence is enough!

In the field, Sun Shou returned with a gloomy expression. He looked at the people who were still besieging Shanxi Yan and his men and said, "Stop it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped.

"That woman ran away! Draw a picture of her immediately, search the entire city, and dig deep to find her!"

"Yes!"

Everyone dispersed immediately.

Sun Shou looked at Shanxi Yan and the others again: "How long do you guys want to stay here?!"

Shanxi Yan didn't expect that after such a thing happened, Sun Shou would decisively let them go.

He clasped his fists, said nothing more, and left immediately.

Lu Xiaofeng returned the sword to Sun Shou, called Hua Manlou and Sikong Zhaixing, and left together.

Zhou Ming followed.

Dugu Yihe came here for Huo Tianqing, not Sun Shou. Seeing Huo Tianqing being taken away by the people from Tianqin Sect, he said goodbye as well.

In the blink of an eye, all the guests in the Jewel Pavilion left.

Sun Shou returned to the mourning hall.

The eight stewards were not familiar with martial arts and had been watching from a distance before. Now they returned to the mourning hall together to inquire about the situation.

Sun Shou briefly explained it.

"A servant?" Steward Su said sternly, "Someone actually sneaked in here, and he's that woman's accomplice? Humph, it seems like we need to search this mansion thoroughly."

Manager Li said, "The most urgent task right now is to avenge the boss!"

Sun Shou nodded: "Yes, I'll have to trouble you all to keep an eye on this aspect."

"That's how it should be."

"The duty lies."

All the managers left, and only Manager Li was kept by Sun Shou.

Sun Shou said, "Manager Li, the Jewelry Pavilion's business is spread all over the world, and countless people depend on us for their livelihood. Now that the boss is dead and Huo Tianqing has left, we still need a manager."

Manager Li's eyes moved and he said, "Isn't this Manager Sun?"

Sun Shou said, "I am only good at killing and fighting, not at business. Manager Li is in charge of the south, and he is most capable in this area. Therefore, I would like to recommend Manager Li to be the chief manager. What do you think?"

Manager Li's heart beat uncontrollably several times.

He is indeed loyal to his boss, but loyalty does not affect his ambition.

In this situation, how could he not be willing to go further?

"The South..."

"I'll find someone to take over the southern business, so Manager Li doesn't have to worry about it."

Manager Li looked at him deeply.

Obviously, this is a deal.

Sun Shou supported him to be the general manager.

And he must hand over the southern business that he currently controls.

How to choose?
Steward Li smiled faintly: "In that case, thank you very much, Steward Sun."

Still need to ask?

When there is an opportunity to be a general manager, why should you be greedy for business in the south?

Although this approach certainly has drawbacks.

For example, losing control of the southern business.

For example, I don’t have much foundation in the Jewelry Pavilion.

But what's the matter?
As a man who came from a beggar family and has made it to where he is today, Manager Li is quite confident in his abilities.

After becoming the general manager, he will make sure that the power in his hands is in line with the position!
