Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 78 Visiting the Seven Heroes Town

There are countless scenic spots in Guanzhong.

But when it comes to where he must go, Zhou Ming can only think of one.

Legend has it that seven knights made an appointment to duel, but they felt a sense of mutual respect and shook hands in peace. They then lived in seclusion at the place where they dueled, and gradually a town evolved.

Its name is...

"Qixia Town?" Lu Xiaofeng frowned, "You said I've never been to this place?"

Sikong Zhaixing smiled and said, "Is there any place you, Lu Xiaofeng, haven't been to?"

Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes. "This vast world, the nine provinces and four seas, how could I possibly have been everywhere? Besides, what are you so proud of? Have you ever been there?"

"Hey, I've actually been there!"

Sikong Zhaixing said, turning back and saying: "Old Zhou, I know how to get there, just listen to me!"

"it is good!"

So Sikong Zhaixing led the way in front and everyone followed behind.

Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously, "I haven't been to any of these places, but you've been there? Could it be that there's some wealthy person hiding there?"

Sikong Zhaixing said: "No, it's just a friend of mine who is there."

"Your friend? You're not traveling with me, are you?"

“It was in the past, but now…”

....................................

"Sir, you are here!"

"Sir, you are here again!"

"Sir, please come in!"

"Guest officer..."

When Bai Zhantang saw the figure at the door, his standard smile suddenly became much more sincere: "A Xing?! Why are you here?"

"I came to see you, Old White!"

Sikong Zhaixing said: "By the way, bring these people with you to take care of your family's business. I can tell you that every one of these people is extremely rich.

In the past, they would definitely be our top targets. But now...it all depends on how much money your store can make from them!"

Bai Zhantang said, "Axing, your friends are my friends too. What's the point of talking about money? When we're here, we're all my brothers!"

As he said this, he looked behind Sikong Zhaixing and was immediately startled.

"Ahem... well... I mean, since you guys have money, I won't be polite! Hahaha, hehe..."

It was no wonder that he was frightened, because after Sikong Zhaixing, there were four maids: Zhou Ming, Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, and Ximen Chuxue.

The total number of people is as high as nine!
Plus they have six horses!
With such a big event, even if he only eats one meal and stays here for one night, all his years of work will probably be in vain.

"Come in! Come in!"

Bai Zhantang welcomed everyone in. Since there were so many people, the small tables couldn't accommodate them all, so he simply led them to the center of the inn, where they sat at a century-old willow wood table, and then he went to get tea.

The shop looks quite simple, and the tables and chairs are a bit old, but it is very clean.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Bai Zhantang's back and felt that he had a handsome face, but also a shrewd look. There was even a hint of vulgarity and a hint of humor between his eyebrows. He asked, "Is this your colleague? Why is he now..."

"I've already said we were in the same business before! The past is the past, and now is now. He's retired!"

"Oh? That's a good thing, but I don't know who it is?"

"he is the one……"

"Cough cough!"

Bai Zhantang returned with the teapot and said, "Axing, I've retired from society. Don't talk about the past."

Sikong Zhaixing said, "You said you'd retire from the martial arts world, so what are you afraid of?"

Bai Zhantang said, "I have retired, but the imperial court's wanted notice is still there!"

Sikong Zhaixing couldn't help but look at Zhou Ming.

"Why are you looking at me? I can't do anything about this."

"Waiter! Bring another pot of wine!"

Suddenly a guest called out, interrupting everyone's conversation.

"coming!"

Bai Zhantang responded, nodded to everyone, and went on with his business.

Seeing this, Zhou Ming walked to the inn counter.

A scholar in green clothes stood at the counter, smiling and greeting: "Sir."

Zhou Ming said, "Could you please ask the shopkeeper to come out? I have something to discuss with you."

"okay."

After a while, a charming mature woman came down from the second floor of the inn. She was naturally the shopkeeper Tong Xiangyu.

"Sir, is there anything we haven't done right by you?" "No."

Zhou Ming took out a gold ingot and said, "A few friends and I are staying here temporarily. We'd like to book this inn temporarily. All expenses will be deducted from this amount. If it's not enough, we can ask for it later. How do you think?"

"Very good, very good!"

Tong Xiangyu said, "But it's not easy for us to kick out the guests in the inn now."

"That's natural, but no more guests after this."

"well."

Then they arranged accommodation for everyone.

The inn was really small, and it was impossible for nine people to each have a room. In the end, the four maids shared a room with two people, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing shared a room, and the other three each had a room, and then they were able to stay.

During this period, no more guests were welcomed into the inn, and the guests in the inn gradually left.

Bai Zhantang also felt much more relaxed and finally had time to greet them.

Tong Xiangyu only then realized that those people were his friends. She asked Zhou Ming to return the money, but after several excuses, Zhou Ming naturally refused to accept it.

night.

Chef Li Dazui prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Of course, it does not include those world-famous dishes.

Mo Xiaobei, who was still young and had a strong desire to be a martial artist, asked, "You are all Brother Bai's friends. Do you have any particularly powerful nicknames in the martial arts world?"

Bai Zhantang said, "Why do we need nicknames? I'm telling you, my friends, even if I tell them their names, they'll scare you!"

Guo Furong rolled her eyes: "Bragging!"

Mo Xiaobei said, "Brother Bai, please tell me about it."

Bai Zhantang stood up and said, "Then I'll introduce them to you one by one! The first one..."

"The King of Thieves, Sikong Zhaixing!"

"Wow!"

"Blind man, Hua Manlou!"

"Wow!"

"Four eyebrows, Lu Xiaofeng!"

"Whoa oh!"

"Sword God, Ximen Chuxue!"

"WHAOO ...

"Zhou Ming!"

"Wow...ah? Who is it?"

Zhou Mingdao said: "I have just entered the martial arts world and have not done anything great, so naturally I am not famous."

Tong Xiangyu smiled and said, "It's nothing. Heroes also become famous step by step. Take your time."

Then he turned his gaze to the four maids.

"Who are these?"

Zhou Mingdao: "These four are my maids."

Guo Furong was a little annoyed: "How can you be considered a hero if you wander around the martial arts world with a servant girl by your side?"

Zhou Mingdao said, "I have no choice. My father has a special status and might be in danger if he goes out. These four are called maids, but they are actually responsible for protecting me."

Guo Furong curled her lips.

Tong Xiangyu asked, "May I ask your father..."

"My father, Pei Ju."

Whoops!

Guo Furong lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Tong Xiangyu and Lu Xiucai also moved.

Only Li Dazui and Mo Xiaobei looked puzzled.

Li Dazui looked around and asked, "No, who is this Pei Ju?"

"Pei... Grand Tutor Pei, you don't even know him?" Lu Xiucai said, "He's the Prime Minister of the current dynasty!"

Tong Xiangyu said: "He also serves as the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Personnel."

Zhou Mingdao said, "Manager Tong is a little out of touch with the news. Since the beginning of this year, power has been returned to the emperor, and my father has ceased to serve as the Minister of Justice."

Guo Furong sat back down and asked, "Your father is Pei Ju? Then you are Zhou Changping? Have you returned from the Quanzhen Sect?"

Zhou Mingdao said, "After ten years of apprenticeship, I should return. But I never thought that Miss Guo would still remember me ten years later. I never thought that we would meet again here."
