Zongwu: Saving Wu Meiniang at the beginning

Thinking of this, Xiao Se stood up again.

Of course, he still didn't dare to look at Wu Ming, but even though he didn't dare, his behavior pattern finally became much more normal.

Little did he know that Wu Ming had already noticed him the moment he entered the door. He was a time traveler, not a local.

The duo of Xiao Se and Lei Wujie were also involved in the incident with the golden coffin. If he didn't recognize them, then what was the point of being a time traveler?

Must know alright.

Wu Ming actually didn't have any ideas about Xiao Se. The most he wanted to do was to capture him and show his loyalty to the emperor, but that was not what he wanted.

Forget it, I'll just observe it and see if it's valuable.

Chapter 247: Refutation

As the saying goes, slow work pays off. A spur-of-the-moment plan will not bring good results. Give it more thought and perhaps you will come up with a better idea.

Xiao Se didn't know yet that the safety and peace of mind he had now were only given by Wu Ming.

Next to the campfire, the flames roasted Hong Qigong's face red. He was naturally aware of Wu Ming's arrival, but at this moment, he did not want to pay attention to him. This young man had no martial ethics. He didn't even give him a chicken butt and slapped him with a palm... He was really... not to be provoked.

He really couldn't afford to offend them, so Hong Qigong moved closer to the two beggars nearby. These dirty guys gave him a greater sense of security.

If he had not had a reason to come, he would have run away by now. Although he was curious about how Wu Ming had practiced the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to that level, compared to his curiosity, he disliked Wu Ming's unruly character even more. He was too difficult to approach and in short, he had no martial ethics.

Hong Qi has been in the martial arts world for so many years, and has never been treated like this.

Wu Ming approached the campfire and pressed it casually. An icy bench with carvings of dragons and phoenixes solidified out of thin air and then fell lightly to the ground.

Wu Ming sat down in the middle with his arms and legs crossed, Su Rongrong sat beside him, and the remaining three women stood behind the ice benches.

"Old Huang, this guy seems to be really good at pretending."

"Master, shut up. People can hear us." Old Huang pulled his master's hand, then lifted his messy hair and gave Wu Ming an awkward but polite smile.

"Old Huang, Master?"

"Your last name is Xu?" Wu Ming glanced at the man called Young Master with inquiry in his eyes.

"You... No, no, of course my last name is not Xu, my last name is Huang."

"Yeah, it's quite yellow." Wu Ming nodded, and then fell silent.

Looking at Wu Ming who seemed to have his eyes closed, Xu Fengnian always felt that the other party seemed to see through him.

He was clearly still wearing clothes, albeit tattered beggar's clothes. But under the other person's gaze, it seemed as if nothing could escape his gaze.

Compared to Xu Fengnian's vague feeling, Lao Huang was even more nervous. He was Lao Huang, and also Sword Jiu Huang. Although he had not yet comprehended Sword Jiu, he was also an extremely strong existence among the grand masters. With so many people here just now, he was sure to take Xu Fengnian away, so even though he knew that the two of them were involved in some bad fight, he was not in a hurry to take Xu Fengnian away.

But after Wu Ming appeared, I lost this confidence. I always felt that if I wasn’t careful, my life would be over.

Not to mention taking Xu Fengnian away, even if he escaped alone, there was no chance of success.

Moreover, his perception was obviously sharper than Xu Fengnian's. He was absolutely sure that the man in front of him had already seen through their identities.

However, is the other party merely relying on the two titles of Lao Huang and Young Master, or does he have other intelligence channels? If it is the former, it would be too scary.

This means that the other party’s intelligence has already penetrated deep into the Beiliang Palace.

Can you understand so much from just a name?

Old Huang grinned, revealing a row of dirty yellow teeth that looked a little untidy. He glanced at Su Rongrong and the others, thinking in his mind, if a conflict broke out, could he capture one of them and use him to exchange for the young master.

However, just as this thought came to his mind, he felt a pair of cold eyes flashing towards him, which made him feel cold all over. Realizing that he was being warned, Lao Huang smiled awkwardly and lowered his head completely. While lowering his head, he pulled the corner of Xu Fengnian's clothes again.

Xu Fengnian, who was familiar with Lao Huang, knew that this meant the wind was strong and it was also a signal for him to hurry at the critical moment.

The atmosphere in the hall changed. No one dared to speak. Ever since Wu Ming came in, this place could be described in two words: depressing!

Tang Lian in the backyard frowned. Although he could not sense Wu Ming's realm, he could still sense the four women clearly. They were all masters.

In the past, Beili was called the state of freedom.

He is no longer an easy character to get along with, and he is only at the peak of the Grandmaster level.

Tang Lian touched the wine gourd on his waist with a complicated expression. This wine was called Starry Night Wine, and it was the basis for his confidence in carrying out this mission.

This wine comes from the Wine Classic, which records various kinds of good wines, each with its own characteristics and functions. It was given to him by the Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan when he visited his master Baili Dongjun. The wine in the Wine Classic is very difficult to make. He studied it for a long time, and even borrowed the power of the Tang Sect, before he managed to make one kind, which is the Starry Night Wine in his hand.

This wine is extremely powerful. After drinking one glass, he can temporarily break into the Grandmaster level.

After drinking seven cups of wine, he would definitely reach the peak of the Grand Master level, or even be called a half-step immortal god. However, once he drank the seventh cup of wine, it meant that his life had come to an end.

It can be said that this is a killer move that should never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Oh, this centipede is delicious." Hong Qigong glanced at Wu Ming, still wanting to provoke him out of anger.

Then, in front of Wu Ming, he took out the centipede that had just been cooked in boiling water, and quickly took out the tender meat of the centipede like peeling a shrimp.

Then he put the tender centipede meat on an iron sheet placed on the fire. Oil was dripping on it. Looking at the bottles and jars of seasonings on the ground, this stuff really deserves the name of a gourmet.

"Of course it's delicious. After all, I made it myself, so you can eat it with peace of mind, right?" Wu Ming curled his lips and made a casual joke. It was just a joke, but to Hong Qigong, it sounded like a real insult.

Isn't this obviously an insult to him, referring to the fact that he wanted to eat a chicken's butt before?

He did want to eat, but he didn't eat anything, and he was also slapped by the Beggar Gang's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Is it necessary to keep emphasizing it and keep harping on it?

As for where the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms came from, there is no need to ask. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is a secret of the Beggars' Sect, but not the core inheritance (in this world). Wu Ming is a member of the imperial court, so it is believed that he obtained it from the imperial arsenal.

There was nothing new about the martial arts, but the important thing was the dragon-subduing energy, which made Hong Qigong itchy.

That's something he hasn't even practiced yet.

This is also one of the reasons why he had to confront Wu Ming.

"Okay, I just asked you for a chicken butt to eat. You young masters and ladies don't eat this thing, so what's wrong with giving it to a beggar?" Hong Qi stubbornly raised his head. The centipede meat in his mouth suddenly tasted bland.

"What else is going on? What's going on? You're just asking for trouble. You're just short of robbing. You should just come here honestly. Don't even mention the chicken butt. What's the big deal if I give you a chicken? Why do you have to show off your martial arts skills all of a sudden?"

"With your Qinggong skills, you still have the nerve to call yourself Xiaoyaoyou. Don't you feel guilty?"

Wu Ming opened fire with all his might, and Hong Qi's face turned red, but he couldn't refute it, and he was so angry that he gasped for a while.

Li Hongxiu who was standing behind him found what she heard very interesting and laughed so hard that she half leaned on Wu Ming's shoulder. This laughter was so funny that Song Tianer couldn't hold back her laughter either.

…………

Chapter 248: Frozen Throne

The reason why Wu Ming was willing to talk a few more words to Hong Qigong was naturally because of women.

Yes, after going around in circles, it finally ended up with women.

Since there is Hong Qi in this world, then correspondingly, there must be Mu Nianci, a woman who was once taught a few tricks by Hong Qi.

If so, is it still the same as in the original novel, with Mu Nianci wandering around the world with Yang Tiexin?

If we could get any news about Mu Nianci from Hong Qi, it might save us a lot of trouble.

Of course, that was his thought at the beginning, and later he really wanted to say a few words about Hong Qigong's behavior of taking things without asking. It was only because Wu Ming was now in a state of Taoism and a little kind-hearted that he had such a strong desire. If it were before, he, Hong Qigong, might have become the first man in history to die because of a chicken butt.

He chatted with Hong Qi for a while. His attitude was not very good during the chat. However, Wu Ming did not care much about his attitude. After all, he was just a stranger.

"Husband, we have probably figured out the identities of these people..." In the middle of the conversation, Li Hongxiu suddenly lowered her head and whispered in Wu Ming's ear.

What does this guy want to do?

Hong Qi and Lao Huang each looked at Wu Ming and felt that the smile on his face was very dangerous.

In fact, Wu Ming was indeed thinking about some dangerous things.

After Li Hongxiu finished speaking, Wu Ming lightly tapped the ground with his toes, and a chill suddenly broke out, then spread to all around.

It is snowing heavily right now, and the sky and earth are already filled with cold air. Using ice to fight is naturally a good choice, and this way of fighting can be more elegant.

Except for Old Huang and Hong Qigong who were nearby, no one noticed this change. Xu Fengnian just felt a chill on his body, and then he heard the panic all around him.

He turned his head and looked over. At this moment, many people in the hall had turned from living people into ice sculptures.

Ice sculpture?

Xu Fengnian's body trembled, and he turned his head instantly, his eyes fixed on the ice chair where Wu Ming was sitting. This thing was too easy to associate with. After all, there had never been such a situation before Wu Ming came, and there was also the ice chair under his butt.

The corner of Xu Fengnian's mouth twitched. For the first time, he felt the disparity of the world at a close distance.

He has always been reluctant to practice martial arts, but after seeing this scene, he was somewhat shaken. It was a feeling that his life and death were not in his control. He felt so sad that he wanted to cry.

In fact, he had this feeling before, but at that time, he was the one who controlled the life and death of others. This time when he came out from home to gain experience, he had never encountered any major danger. In this world where immortals and gods on earth would not easily leave, with Lao Huang by his side, he naturally would not have any chance to face any major risks. But now...

"Old Huang... I suddenly have a stomachache. How about you accompany me to the toilet?"

"You're an adult now, why don't you go by yourself?" Wu Ming grinned and waved his hand to throw Xu Fengnian to the backyard.

In the backyard, Tang Lian looked at Xu Fengnian who was standing in front of him and forced himself to suppress the urge to attack. His fingertips were almost about to cut off the other person's neck.

But the other party was a man with no cultivation and a beggar, so he would not hurt innocent people easily. Baili Dongjun told him that the strong would swing their swords against the stronger ones, and the weak would bully the weaker ones.

"Well, I was thrown out." Xu Fengnian also raised his hand subconsciously. Of course, he was also afraid of death.

"Move back a little." Tang Lian glanced at Xu Fengnian and spoke coldly.

Xu Fengnian stepped back tactfully, then followed Tang Lian's gaze and saw Wu Ming walking out from the door, with the chattering Hong Qigong next to him.

"Okay, why do you want to kill someone?"

"I just don't understand, how can you be so cold-blooded at such a young age?"

"If you don't understand, then don't try to understand. If you keep nagging, I'll kill you too." Wu Ming retorted, then walked towards Tang Lian.

"Senior Hong, those people killed by my husband were all wanted criminals by the court, and his hands were filled with blood. You only look at the people my husband killed, why don't you look at those he didn't kill?" Li Hongxiu was annoyed when she heard this and gave an explanation.

Hong Qigong was stunned for a moment, and looked back. There were three people following him alone, including an old beggar. Oh, now he had a name, it was said to be Lao Huang.

There were two young men, each younger than the other. The older one was in his twenties, and the younger one looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, or even younger.

There were only these three good people in the place just now. No, that’s not right. I’m not dead either. If you count the one who was thrown out, there should be five good people.

Hong Qigong didn't dwell on this matter any further. Since Li Hongxiu said so, it should be correct. After all, the three people behind him looked like good people, and the others did look a bit fierce.

The ice sculptures in the hall: …… Will I still be insulted after I die…, who says that evil people look fierce?

Hong Qigong was naturally scared, but his fear was not obvious. He then walked down the steps given by Li Hongxiu very smoothly.

He also didn't want to confront Wu Ming head-on because he knew he couldn't win.

As for now, it depends on Wu Ming’s attitude towards the golden coffin. If he wants to snatch it...!

"Master Wu?"

Tang Lian recognized Wu Ming and spoke first.

"know?"

"I've heard Master talk about you." Tang Lian subconsciously used the honorific title, because Baili Dongjun spoke very highly of Wu Ming. Of course, the evaluation here refers to his combat capability. As for his female virtues, Tang Lian remembered that after Master received the information, he specially sent a copy to the Gun Immortal and the Snow Moon Sword Immortal.

The Snow Moon Sword Fairy is originally a woman, and the Spear Fairy has a well-behaved and clever daughter. When faced with a man like Du Wuming, one really... must be on guard.

"Then I won't embarrass you."

"Please move aside. I won't open the coffin. I just want to take a look. I need to confirm some things." Wu Ming waved his hand to force Tang Lian away. Tang Lian, flying in the air, subconsciously took out the wine jug, but seeing that Wu Ming did not make any other moves, he put it back with peace of mind.

Wu Ming was certainly not afraid of Baili Dongjun, but Wuxin was in the coffin at this moment, and his evil heart had not been resolved, so it was indeed not the best time to open the coffin.

Wuxin, who has been possessed by the devil, cannot bring the Golden Dragon to Wu Ming, so Wu Ming naturally needs to wait a little longer.

"That's it, that's it."

Wu Ming took Su Rongrong and others away, as if his arrival was just to kill a few people.

Hong Qigong also breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Xiao Se felt a vague chill, but this feeling quickly dissipated.

Wu Ming discovered that he had actually joined in a little too early. He shouldn't have taken action at this time, let alone gotten involved in these things.

Xiao Se is the sixth prince of Beili who is on the run. After hiding for many years, he will definitely go to Xueyue City. By then, he will have ties with the people of Xueyue City. Once they have ties, it will be easier for him to use tricks like threats and coercion.

Although the means are not good, the efficiency is indeed high.

During the remaining time, he just needs to be an invisible man safely, meet Tiannvrui by the way, and then take the Golden Dragon from Wuxin's body after he is born.

Then we headed home and everything was perfect.
