Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 65: Hidden too deep, newcomer appears

"Huo Xiu is a really good choice as a scapegoat!"

Zhou Ming thought.

Even though he knew that Huo Xiu was the real person behind the scenes, after combining the information from Lu Xiaofeng and Dugu Yihe, he simply couldn't find any flaws in Huo Xiu.

Don't mention the flaws.

He didn't even show up in this incident!

At this time, if Zhou Ming said that Huo Xiu was the mastermind, others would probably think he was a fool.

This person's calculations are so powerful that it's really terrifying.

You should know that in the original book, no matter which party it was, they only had access to their own part of the information and did not exchange information with people from other parties.

That makes it easier to be deceived.

Judging from the offline clues and evidence alone, it is almost impossible to catch Huo Xiu.

Zhou Ming rubbed his eyebrows.

Now that Yan Tieshan is dead, he wanted to pull Huo Xiu out and kill him as well.

Then you can directly take over the Jewelry Pavilion and Qingyi Tower.

Keep it simple.

I didn’t expect that Yan Tieshan’s side was indeed simple.

Huo Xiu is really a trouble.

He almost handed over all matters to Shangguan Feiyan and Huo Tianqing, and never showed up himself.

The only person who was connected to him was Shangguan Feiyan.

As long as nothing goes wrong with Shangguan Feiyan, it will be almost impossible for him to be discovered.

"But it doesn't matter. As long as we change the plan a little, we can still cut the Gordian knot and solve this problem!"

He was thinking here, but Dugu Yihe couldn't sit still and ordered, "Bring the sword."

Zhou Ming hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do, senior?"

"Of course we have to get rid of that scheming villain! The owner of Qingyi Tower... Huo Tianqing!"

Zhou Ming said, "Wait a minute, Senior! I have something to tell you."

"Please say."

"In fact, when King Jinpeng was talking to Lu Xiaofeng, in addition to informing the three of you of your identities, he also clearly stated that the master of Qingyi Tower is you, Senior!"

"Humph! Nonsense! How could I possibly be the master of Qingyi Tower?!"

Dugu Yihe said coldly: "Besides, it's still uncertain whether the so-called Golden Peng King is real or not!"

Zhou Mingdao said: "Indeed, if the Golden Peng King is fake, it doesn't matter, but if he is real, haha, with the power that the Golden Peng Dynasty currently possesses, how can they find out the true identity of the owner of Qingyi Tower?
The 108th floor of Qingyi, the earlier the number, the longer it has been operating and the deeper it is hidden. To this day, no force in the world has been able to find the location of the first floor of Qingyi, let alone the so-called Jinpeng Dynasty?

Speaking of which, the power of the Emei Sect is truly formidable. So many people in the Jianghu have searched for so long but still haven't found the Qingyi First Floor. Yet, the Emei Sect only took a few months to locate the location. I admire you, truly admire you!

At this time, one of the four beauties had taken out a broad and long sword and handed it to Dugu Yihe.

Dugu Yihe took the sword, but sat there motionless, frowning and thinking deeply.

In fact, he did not use the power of the entire Emei.

After all, in this world, he is not the head of Emei, but just one of the many branches on Mount Emei.

Moreover, even in the entire Emei Mountain, it is not certain that the location of the Qingyi First Building can be found.

As Zhou Ming said, for decades, countless people and forces have wanted to find Qingyi Tower, but none of them have found it.

How could he find it?

Or in just a few months?
Zhou Ming continued, "Senior is going to kill Huo Tianqing now, so I propose a hypothesis. Suppose what King Jinpeng said is true, and Senior is really the master of Qingyi Tower. Then Senior's actions at this moment will lead to a consequence.

That means the Jewel Pavilion will completely lose its owner and collapse, and the huge wealth will fall into the hands of others. I assume that these others refer to the Qingyi Tower.

In other words, the senior was the master of Qingyi Tower, personally killed Huo Tianqing, and then used the power of Qingyi Tower to take over the entire Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion! "

"Be bold!"

"How dare you slander my master!" The four beauties drew their swords in anger, and Su Shaoying also glared at them.

Dugu Yihe, however, held out his hand to stop them and said, "Your assumption is totally unreasonable."

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "If you want to prove that you are not the master of Qingyi Tower, you only need to do one thing."

"Humph!"

Dugu Yihe put down the sword in his hand and said, "No need to prove it, I am not!"

"I believe in the seniors."

Dugu Yihe has decided not to kill Huo Tianqing.

So he asked his disciples to go back and rest, and he himself wanted to go to sleep.

Zhou Ming said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he and Dugu Yihe agreed to go to the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion before noon tomorrow to pay tribute to Yan Tieshan and test Huo Tianqing!
On the way back to the inn, Zhou Ming checked Lu Xiaofeng's condition through the mark.

It turned out that Lu Xiaofeng was drinking with a group of people and was having a great time.

It turned out that after Zhou Ming left, people from Tianqin Sect came and wanted to stop the decisive battle between Lu Xiaofeng and Huo Tianqing.

Although the Tianqin Sect has been established for nearly a hundred years, it has not many members. In this generation, there are only ten people besides the leader Huo Tianqing.

At this moment, Huo Tianqing sent a letter saying that the decisive battle would be postponed to the day after tomorrow.

That being said, in reality it is just an infinite delay, which is equivalent to not fighting at all.

Everyone was overjoyed. Someone from the Tianqin Sect said that there was a very unique dog meat restaurant called Zhao Damazi in the local area and invited them to eat dog meat and drink wine.

When they arrived, they were too late and the shopkeeper, Zhao Damazi, told them that the dog meat was sold out.

So all that was left was drinking.

"I was here exchanging information with Dugu Yihe and stopping his fight with Huo Tianqing, but this Lu Xiaofeng is drinking outside?"

Zhou Ming was furious, and then he got angry for a while.

Because he thought that Lu Xiaofeng had lost several friends in the end because of his busy schedule.

If you work hard on this part, you will eventually gain the Jewel Pavilion and Qingyi Tower.

It is true that the more you work, the more you get, and the less you work, the less you get.

Reasonable.

I don't care anymore.

Lu Xiaofeng and a group of people drank from midnight to noon the next day, and they drank most of the wine in Zhao Damazi's shop.

But they were obviously not going to leave, but wanted to drink up the remaining half.

The weather was bad today, with heavy rain. Even at noon, the store was still dim with candlelight.

Suddenly someone broke down the store door, and dozens of figures walked into the store amid the sound of rain.

Everyone in the hall was startled and looked around, only to see dozens of strong men with sharp blades in their hands, who had already blocked the entire store.

They wanted to be on guard, but after drinking for half the night, most of them were already confused. Only Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Shanxi Yan of Tianqinmen still had their wits about them.

Princess Danfeng drank the least, but was actually the most sober among everyone.

However, no matter what, they were in this state and could not defeat dozens of skilled fighters with swords and knives, so they gathered together and took precautions.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Damazi hurried to the back door.

But the back door was pushed open in advance, and a palm mixed with a cold wind blew towards him.

Zhao Damazi quickly turned around, rolled twice in the air, and jumped next to Lu Xiaofeng's men. He asked, "Which gang are you from?"

A man walked in through the back door.

He was about thirty years old, seven feet tall, dressed in brocade clothes, and his sharp face was exposed in the wind and rain.

"Jewelry Pavilion...Sun Shou!"
