Zongwu: Saving Wu Meiniang at the beginning

Wu Ming naturally didn't dare to gamble. In his first battle after his debut, he had to do well. Only by doing well would he have the opportunity to do well in the future. Wu Ming naturally knew this.

Wu Ming strolled into Zuiyue Tower and went straight to the second floor without waiting for the waiter to come up to serve him.

You can see far if you stand high. Besides, the first floor is a mixed bag and the food is not good, which Wu Ming does not like. The most important thing is that there is a little beauty in a wheelchair on the second floor. Being with a beauty always makes people happy.

Wu Ming's steps were steady. Ever since he perfected the Four-Illumination Technique, he always had an aura as heavy as a mountain.

Wuqing has the ability to read minds. She has seen many people, some good, some evil, some noble, some dirty. No one can escape her eyes. But today, an accident happened to Wu Ming.

Although he was young and looked like an ordinary person, she could not see through his thoughts. Women were always more curious than men, and she mobilized her spirit mercilessly, spreading her invisible and intangible spiritual power towards Wu Ming.

And her eyes just happened to meet Wu Ming who came to the second floor.

Just one glance and Wuqing was dirty. It was because Wu Ming saw that the girl was too tired to read her mind, so he just played an uncensored movie in her mind, and the protagonists were Wu Ming and herself.

In the picture, the familiar wheelchair became a hotbed. The person kept moving and the wheelchair kept shaking, which directly made the girl's face red.

In order to make the picture more realistic, Wuqing who appeared in Wu Ming's mind was not fully clothed. After all, his figure was impossible to measure with the naked eye when he was wearing loose clothes.

The only thing that comforted Wuqing was that the abalone in the picture did not match his own size. One could only say that Wuqing was worthy of his name and his observation was very meticulous.

Chapter 6: Family

"blow!"

The sound of hidden weapons whistling and breaking through the air was heard. It was because Wuqing was so angry and ashamed that he could not hold back his thoughts and was ready to attack Wu Ming.

But before she could actually make a move, an old man with his beard tied into a pigtail walked out of a private room in the restaurant and eliminated the ruthless hidden weapon with a wave of his hand.

"Wuqing, what makes you like this?"

"Uncle Shi."

"Wu Ming meets Lord Zhuge. I had a small friction with Miss Wuqing. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing me." Seeing Zhuge Zhengwo appear, Wu Ming greeted him politely and revealed his identity.

This is very important. We are all family. It is not good if we fight among ourselves.

Before Wu Zetian became the emperor, everyone was absolutely on the same side, at least on the surface. Not long after Wu Zetian was made the empress, the empress's confidants started fighting with the emperor's people. Wouldn't that make outsiders laugh? Besides, fighting now would also affect solving the case.

"It's the Grand Lord. Please come in and sit down. Wuqing is a very curious child. We are the ones who are rude!" Zhuge Zhengwo invited Wu Ming magnanimously. Wu Ming was not polite and walked towards the box with Jingwei. When he passed Wuqing, he grinned silently at the woman who was biting her lip.

"Miss Wuqing, it's easy to suffer a great loss if you casually probe into other people's hearts. Be careful next time."

"Hmph... you lecher."

She gritted her teeth and wished she could beat Wu Ming to death. At this moment, she naturally understood that the man with a fake smile in front of her was much stronger than her, and she was the one being fooled from the beginning to the end.

Thinking about how her uncle had called him the Grand Chief before, Wuqing understood even more clearly that she was bound to suffer this loss. However, she didn't know that after meeting Wu Ming this time, she would not only suffer losses, but she would also suffer more.

Wuqing's mind-reading is not omnipotent. Her mind-reading skills are only effective on strangers, and the other party's strength must not be much stronger than hers.

Wu Ming has the strength of a mid-stage grandmaster, while Wuqing is only at the innate level. If it doesn't work after reading it once, she can just give up. But she insists on reading it again. She deserves to be defiled.

"Counterfeit currency case, any news from the Divine Marquis Mansion?"

"The Divine Marquis's Mansion has it. Didn't the Inner Guard have it a long time ago? The news from our two houses is synchronized, otherwise the Grand Master would not be here at this time."

"Shen Hou, you are wrong. I can't come to support Jiao Niang. As a businessman, we should welcome guests from all over the world. We can't just entertain Shen Hou's family."

After these words were spoken, Zhuge Zhengwo looked at Wu Ming seriously. He always felt that Wu Ming seemed to have something else to say, but considering the age difference between Wu Ming and Jiao Niang, he still felt that he had lost his state of mind and was overthinking.

Little did he know that with his level of kung fu, he would always be able to sense the coming of autumn before the cicadas blow. Sometimes, he should trust his sixth sense.

Wu Ming was really interested in Jiao Niang. He suddenly thought of one thing: a person's luck is not constant. Jiao Niang's luck after she followed Zhuge Zhengwo must be different from her before.

In other words, if the concubine he had used for experiments before had not had a husband who was an official, the system might not even give her the fancy moves.

As for whether Jiao Niang is too old, it is not a problem actually. Zhuge Zhengwo has a certain status. No matter how honest and upright he is, Jiao Niang can enjoy resources that ordinary people cannot enjoy if she follows him. Jiao Niang, who is in her forties, looks like an ordinary woman in her thirties at most.

Besides, isn’t there an old saying that old clams quench thirst?

"Uncle, more and more forces are entering Zuiyue Tower." Just as Wu Ming and Zhuge Zhengwo were exchanging witticisms, Tie Shou walked in from outside the door, pushing Wuqing.

"All those people are here?"

"Jiangnan Road, Hua Manlou, the seventh son of the Hua family, brought the chivalrous detective Lu Xiaofeng."

"The Imperial Merchant Hua Family?"

"Exactly."

"anything else?"

"Jiang Longluoma of the Six Gates, and Leng Xue, the adopted son of the God Catcher..."

"Oh! Did the target appear?"

"Jia San has already appeared. He is being chased by a debt collector. The two of them are drinking at the same table."

"This Zhui Ming sounds familiar." Zhuge Zhengwo had a strong curiosity about this unexpected person.

"I do know a little about this person. Zhui Ming is an outlier among debt collectors. He is a debt collector but he never pushes people too much. If someone is really in trouble, he will choose to pay out of his own pocket. He likes wine the most and has unparalleled light and leg skills."

"What a unique debt collector." Zhuge Zhengwo's eyes lit up. Wu Ming knew that he had the idea of ​​​​recruiting talents, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up into a smile. Zhui Ming is a talent and is indeed suitable for the Shenhou Mansion. To Wu Ming, the Shenhou Mansion is now his own person, because when Jingwei retrieved the files last night, the Shenhou Mansion was the most cooperative.

The Plum Blossom Inner Guards were newly established and are not mature yet. The Divine Marquis Mansion, which was also newly established, is a good target. Zhui Ming is a good person but his personality is too unruly and he is not suitable for the Plum Blossom Inner Guards.

Under such circumstances, I would push the responsibility of chasing Ming to Zhuge Zhengwo and do him a small favor. When I try to trick him in the future, I will be doing it out of chivalry.

As for friends, Wu Ming doesn't need them. If he sleeps with Wuqing or even Jiaoniang, he may get certain system rewards. What can he get by being friends?

No matter how good my relationship with Zhuge Zhengwo is, can he pass on all his skills to me?

People have to live for themselves, there's nothing wrong with being a little selfish.

Besides, we don't necessarily have to be enemies in the end. A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. Just cheat people secretly. It would be really awesome if I could sleep with these two and gain Zhuge Zhengwo's friendship at the same time.

Wu Zhao will become an emperor sooner or later, and as her man, it is my duty to win over some helpers as soon as possible.

It's hard to be a man, and it's even harder to be a empress's man. You can't always be stingy with your energy, you have to work hard to cultivate it.

"If the Divine Marquis likes this person, it would be most appropriate to recruit him to the Divine Marquis Mansion based on his character."

"Thank you, Grand Lord!"

"You don't have to thank me. You and I are both ministers in the same palace. Helping you is helping me. If Zhui Ming is not suitable for the inner guard, then it would be your turn in the Divine Marquis Mansion."

"You talk as if people are willing to follow you." Meng Lang, who was still ruthless and resentful of Wu Ming, could not help but mock him when he saw him like this.

"Be ruthless, but not rude." Zhuge Zhengwo's expression was serious. No matter whether Wu Ming was insincere or sincere, it would be a good thing for the Shenhou Mansion to have more friendship with the Plum Blossom Inner Guards.

"It's okay, it's normal for girls to have a little temper. But I still want to say that it is very impolite to rashly explore other people's hearts. It's good to have abilities, but you have to be cautious when using your abilities."

"Luckily it was me this time. I have a good temper and I am proficient in martial arts. I know how to handle things properly. If it were someone else, you would have gotten hurt."

The more Wu Ming acted like this, the angrier Wuqing became. She had never seen such a hypocritical person.

But right now there is something important to do. Having grown up with Zhuge Zhengwo, Wuqing certainly won't mess things up because of his own personal affairs.

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

Chapter 7: Prejudice?

Wuqing became well-behaved, and Wu Ming felt bored instead. After chatting with Zhuge Zhengwo for a few more words, Wu Ming left the box and stood at the fence on the second floor, ready to watch the fun.

There is a very simple reason why Hua Manlou appears here.

The counterfeit currency case involved the Hua family, a genuine royal merchant family. They were involved in half of the money houses in the Tang Dynasty. A large amount of counterfeit currency flowed into the market and eventually flowed into the money houses. The loss was too great for the Hua family to bear.

The imperial court was anxious to solve the case, and the Hua family was equally anxious. Hua Manlou had a special status in the Hua family. In addition to being the seventh son of the Hua family, he had another identity that could not be ignored, he was a Wudang disciple.

In Wudang, the last disciple of Zhang Sanfeng, the supreme leader, was Hua Manlou, and he was also a lay disciple. For this disciple, Zhang Sanfeng personally created the Nine-Turn Weak Water Softness Technique, which was an ultimate internal skill that could absorb the opponent's palm power, just like falling into a quagmire and unable to extricate oneself.

This technique is derived from a passage in the Tao Te Ching: "There is nothing in the world softer than water, yet nothing can overcome it when it attacks the strong. There is nothing that can replace it. The weak overcomes the strong, the soft overcomes the hard. There is nothing in the world that does not know this, yet no one can do it."

In addition to this extremely powerful internal skill, Lao Zhang also equipped this disciple with a series of self-defense martial arts such as Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeves, Wudang Mian Palm, etc.

Wudang is one of the most prominent schools of Taoism today, and is considered a major face of Taoism. It was Li Shiming who started his career by relying on Buddhism, and in his later years he suppressed Buddhism and worshipped Taoism, which led to the revival of Taoism.

The Hua family is an imperial merchant family, and Hua Manlou enjoys unprecedented attention in Wudang. If this has nothing to do with the imperial court, Wu Ming would never believe it.

Being an emperor is a process of pulling and tugging. If one side is too powerful, he will try to suppress it. If the other side is too weak, he will reach out and pull it. What they want is balance, which is the so-called prosperous times.

"Hey, Lao Hua, there's someone on your arm, and he seems to be looking at you." Lu Xiaofeng looked around with his shifty eyes and inadvertently noticed Wu Ming.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, can I still lie to you?"

"That's scary. You said he was looking at me, but I didn't feel anything." Hua Manlou's expression froze. Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly closed his eyes. This time, he had the same perception as Hua Manlou. There were clearly two people standing over there, but in his spiritual perception, it was nothingness.

"Master! What a young master!"

"How young?"

"He looks about eighteen or nineteen years old."

"Maybe he has practiced some technique to preserve his youth."

"Impossible... Shit, they're fighting over there." Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened. It turned out that after Jia San and Zhui Ming had an argument, the coin template in the package was exposed. Leng Xue couldn't hold back and took action first.

For a moment, swords and knives were waving downstairs, and there were a few screams among the exclamations. Leng Xue, who was unaware of the situation, aimed his sword at Zhui Ming's vital points. Zhui Ming was naturally unwilling to give up. His flexible Qinggong allowed him to easily avoid Leng Xue's sword, and he even had enough strength to fight back with his legs.

At this time, Jia Sanze took advantage of the chaos and used the art of splitting himself to escape. Of course, this guy's art of splitting himself was not a real clone. It was just a few people with similar body shapes to him, which made him look real.

Wu Ming watched with great interest but had no interest in taking action. With his strength, if he really took action, it would be called bullying the weak. Wu Dage was a man of high moral character and would not do such a tasteless thing.

However, if the strike was not suitable, the coin casting template had to be snatched away. This was a credit. Although he did not like to show off, Wu Zhao wanted face. Only with Wu Zhao's face could he have a good life.

"Jingwei, go grab the template."

"Yes." Jingwei is both an assassin and a swordsman. Her body movements are like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath. When she is still, she is at rest; when she moves, she is like thunder.

At this time, Jingwei had the strength of a perfect master. Gorgeous sword shadows flashed around her and she disappeared behind Wu Ming in the blink of an eye. When she reappeared, she was already standing in front of the real Jia San. This fake clone technique might be able to fool ordinary people, but it was obviously impossible to fool Jingwei's eyes.

Jingwei put his fingers together to form a sword, and the sharp sword energy tore Jia San's tendons. With a scream, the coin template in Jia San's hand rose up and was snatched away by Jingwei.

Jiang Longluoma, who was still chasing Jia San's clone, couldn't help but frown when he saw this. With their speed, how could they catch up with the master Jingwei? Even if they pounced decisively, they could only touch a lingering phantom.

"What great skills! The inner guards are really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!" Zhuge Zhengwo couldn't help but admire Jingwei who had returned to Wu Ming's side. He was originally ready to take action, but after seeing Jingwei take action, he forced himself to suppress the thought.

If he takes action at this time, he will be the one who will be embarrassed. Besides, Wu Ming has always been kind to the Shenhou Mansion, and he, Zhuge Zheng, also has to save his dignity.

"Please forgive me, Lord God. The Plum Blossom Inner Guard has just been established and is in need of revitalization. I am a nobody and my words are not taken seriously. I still need some merit to maintain my reputation."

"Brother Wu, you are too modest. Even if I really want to snatch it from you, I may not be able to get it!" Zhuge Zhengwo put his hands behind his back and looked at Wu Ming meaningfully. Others did not know, but he had heard from the emperor that Wu Ming was a genius who appeared only once in a hundred years and had already mastered the Four Illuminations Divine Art.

At this time, Zhuge Zhengwo had only the strength of a late grandmaster, and his strength might not be stronger than Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao could not defeat Wu Ming, so naturally he did not have that ability.

"Thank you for your praise, Lord God. My ability is far inferior to yours."

"Six Gates is investigating a case. Everyone stand still and raise your hands to be searched..." The two men were chatting excitedly. At this moment, a group of detectives from the Six Gates swarmed in and quickly took control of the situation.

"Tsk tsk, they are indeed the Six Gates. Look at their strong army and powerful horses. What a magnificent style."

"Brother Wu doesn't seem to like the Six Gates."

"What the Divine Marquis said, I don't like your Divine Marquis Mansion either." Wu Ming said meaningfully, and then without waiting for Zhuge Zhengwo to respond, he took Jingwei and walked down the stairs slowly.

"Humph, who wants him to like it? Uncle Shi is just..."

"Wuqing, Brother Wu is right. It's not that we don't like it, but we can't like it. What the government wants to see is an independent Divine Marquis Mansion and an independent Six Gates. If we like it, we will be violating a taboo."

"snort……!"

"What a smart young man." Unlike Wu Ming's ruthless reaction, Tie Shou actually admired Wu Ming very much.

"Of course he is smart and extremely talented. At the age of 18, he has mastered the Four Lights Divine Art. His strength is not weaker than those of us old guys. It is really amazing."

"Four Illuminating Divine Art? Him? How is this possible?" Wuqing didn't believe it at all. How could someone who had mastered the Four Illuminating Divine Art be so lustful?

"Wuqing, my uncle has long told you that prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain. If you don't remove this mountain, you will never be able to make an accurate judgment."

"knew……."

"Come on, let's go down too."
