Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 71: Seize the jewels and find Princess Danfeng

Manager Li left.

Manager Lin is here.

"Sun... Manager Sun..."

"Oh, Manager Lin is here."

Manager Lin said with some fear, "Manager, what you said before..."

"Eh!"

Sun Shou said, "Now that the boss is dead, although I am saddened, this is the truth. We who are still alive must look forward.

"The Jewel Pavilion will soon enter a new era. Since it's a new era, let's just leave the past behind. What do you think?"

"Yep!"

Manager Lin nodded repeatedly: "Manager Sun is right, let the past be the past!"

Manager Lin left.

Manager Su is here.

"Sun... Manager Sun, um... you've already achieved your goal. Can you..."

"Eh!"

Sun Shou said, "Manager Su, don't worry, your whole family is in my hands. They will be well fed and well taken care of, and they will never suffer any injustice.

But the situation is still unstable at the moment, so how about you guys continue to work under me for another month?
If Manager Su misses his family too much, he can go see them within this month."

"Okay... okay!" Steward Su nodded. "Don't worry, Steward Sun. After this is over, I will immediately resign from my position as Steward and will not cause any trouble for you."

"That won't do! Manager Su was one of the first people to follow the boss. He's worked so hard over the years and made so many contributions. How can he just quit like that?"

Sun Shou said, "How about this: I'll give you an extra 20% of the share of the northern business. And I also ask Manager Su to continue to contribute his remaining energy to the development of the Jewel Pavilion."

"This...this..." Manager Su was panicked for a moment and couldn't understand what Sun Shou meant.

Sun Shou's eyes turned cold: "Don't tell me... you want to refuse?"

"No, no, no! Since the steward is so kind, how can I refuse?"

Steward Su hurriedly said, "In that case, I would like to thank the chief steward... Oh no, Pavilion Master!"

"Hey, I'm just a general manager, I can't take on the position of Pavilion Master."

Sun Shou said, "Manager Su, please don't make any mistakes, or you'll get me into trouble."

Manager Su was shocked.

What does that mean... implicate him? He's just a steward?

Could it be that there is someone above this ruthless man?

Steward Su immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am old and a little distracted for a moment. I beg for your forgiveness, Steward."

"It's okay, as long as Manager Su doesn't make the same mistake again in the future."

"I'll remember this."

Manager Su left.

At present, Sun Shou's identity has been recognized by the eight managers and other people in the Jewelry Pavilion.

The subsequent things will be simple.

It’s just that those who follow me will prosper, and those who don’t will perish.

With Zhou Ming's ability, this is basically certain.

"Next, it depends on whether Qingyi Tower goes smoothly..."

Behind the Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion is the Qingfeng Temple.

A door opened and Shanxi Yan walked out sweating profusely.

Everyone from the Tianqin Sect immediately gathered around and asked, "How is the Sect Leader?"

Shanxi Yan said, "Sun Shou seems to be an upright person, but why is his martial arts so vicious? His cold palm power is like a maggot attached to the bone, extremely difficult to remove.

Fortunately, when the Sect Leader was attacked, he was prepared, and I was able to help him eliminate the attack with my internal energy."

When everyone looked into the room, they saw that Huo Tianqing had indeed improved a lot compared to before, so they all rushed into the room to greet him.

Lu Xiaofeng and others did not go in.

Hua Manlou said, "Huo Tianqing is fine, but I wonder how Princess Danfeng is doing now? The palm strike she received seems different from Huo Tianqing's. The force has penetrated deep into her meridians."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned: "Princess Danfeng..." "What's wrong?"

"Nothing... By the way, Sikong Zhaixing!"

Sikong Zhaixing was still wearing Zhao Damazi's disguise. When he heard Lu Xiaofeng calling him, he responded instinctively.

"Why are you calling me?"

"What are you doing here?"

"I told you it's work."

"What job?"

Sikong Zhaixing crossed his arms and said, "Don't ask. I can't tell you the details. This is my professional ethics. I can only say that someone paid me two hundred thousand to steal Princess Danfeng.

For this reason, I have been waiting for you in this city for two days."

"Steal Princess Danfeng? Waited two days?"

Lu Xiaofeng began to think.

At this time, a beautiful figure walked over and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, Master invites you over for a chat."

Lu Xiaofeng took a look and saw that this person was Sun Xiuqing, one of the Four Beauties of Emei.

The master she was referring to was naturally Dugu Yihe.

It just so happened that Lu Xiaofeng also wanted to get more information, so he nodded, said a few words to the people from Tianqin Sect, and then went with Sun Xiuqing.

Dugu Yihe wanted to exchange information with Lu Xiaofeng.

Although he had learned the outcome of the matter through Zhou Ming, many of the details could only be noticed by people who had experienced it personally.

Because of Zhou Ming, he also had some trust in Lu Xiaofeng.

In addition, he had exchanged information with Zhou Ming before, so he didn't mind more people knowing it at this moment, so he simply told Lu Xiaofeng about his own affairs.

"Oh? There's actually a way to identify the Great Golden Peng King's true identity?"

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up.

Dugu Yihe directly reached out to stop him from saying the next sentence: "At this moment, it is not convenient for me to tell others about this method."

"Ok."

Dugu Yihe said, "From what I can see now, Princess Danfeng and Huo Tianqing have a close relationship. Otherwise, Huo Tianqing wouldn't have saved her like this. They might have been connected from the very beginning!"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded. He also saw this point, which was why he did not reveal his true ability until the critical moment, when he took action to rescue Princess Danfeng.

However, he didn't expect that there was another expert nearby who was also here to rescue Princess Danfeng.

Dugu Yihe said, "I suspect that Huo Tianqing is the master of Qingyi Tower. Now that you have contact with them, why not observe them more closely?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "I think that Princess Danfeng is the key!"

As he was speaking, Sikong Zhaixing ran in and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng! There's news!"

"What? So fast?!"

Lu Xiaofeng was shocked.

Dugu Yihe asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaofeng explained, "That man rescued Princess Danfeng before, but then Sun Shou sent people to search the entire city. I was afraid that the man couldn't escape Taiyuan, so I asked them to keep an eye on the movements in the Jewel Pavilion.

I didn't expect that there would be movement in the Jewel Pavilion so soon.

Could it be that Princess Danfeng has been found?"

The last sentence was asked to Sikong Zhaixing.

Sikong Zhaixing said, "I don't know about that. I just saw a large number of people from the Jewelry Pavilion gathering in one direction, so I came to inform you."

"Then I'm afraid the situation is not good. Let's go quickly."

As Lu Xiaofeng said this, he bowed to Dugu Yihe and said goodbye.

Dugu Yihe thought for a moment and said, "Let's go together."

The Seven Heroes of the City, Huo Tianqing and others had already gone there, so they hurried to catch up.

But it was still too late.

When they arrived at the place, they saw that hundreds of people from the Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion had surrounded a private house.

Sun Shou was standing among the crowd, holding a knife in his right hand.
