Chasing the gods in Zongwudang

Zuixianju guest room.

Lying on the comfortable big bed, what smelled in his nose was a faint scent of jasmine. In such a good environment, Lu Cheng should fall asleep right away.

But the current situation is that he has been lying on the bed for half an hour, and he still has no intention of going to sleep.

"Whether this Shangguan Haitang is male or female, his identity is the "Xuan" secret agent of Hulong Villa, Zhu Wushi's adoptive son. I just came to the capital today, and I met him by chance. It can be seen that Hulong Villa must I have information. '

'Just, why do these people pay attention to me? '

There is no love for no reason in the world, and no one will be nice to others for no reason.Especially for a deep-minded person like Zhu Wushi, he would definitely not do useless work.

As his adopted son, Shangguan Haitang is comparable to the Four Great Gods of the Six Sects. Such a person must have a purpose in contacting him.

'Could it be because of the miraculous wedding dress on me? '

But even the Master of the Iron Blood Sect, the owner of the wedding dress magical skill, doesn't understand the real method of practicing this martial art, and it is unlikely that Zhu Wushi would know.Besides, he has achieved some success in absorbing Dafa's internal energy, so it is impossible for him to practice again for the wedding dress magic skill.

It's not the wedding dress magic skill, and it shouldn't be the Little Heavenly Star Palm either.

This palm technique was taught by Zhui Ming himself, and no third person knew about it, so this possibility can be ruled out.

The rest is Sunflower Acupuncture Hand, Bai Zhantang's Qinggong and Jingtao Palm.

The lightness kung fu of Sunflower Acupuncture Shou and Bai Zhantang is good, but they are not good enough to make Zhu Wushi fancy.

Jingtao Palm?

Eliminate all the impossible, and the remaining possibility, even if it is uninhibited or strange, is most likely to be the truth.

Jingtao Palm was taught to Lu Cheng by Guo Furong. Judging from the attitude of going to Guo's mansion today, Guo Juxia must have known about Lu Cheng's practice of Jingtao Palm, otherwise he would not have turned them away.

And Guo Furong was going to teach her husband and son in Qixia Town, so she didn't have time to come here, so this could only be a letter.

If this is the case, then what is Hulong Villa doing to monitor the Guo Mansion?

'What a headache! '

Sighing, Lu Cheng looked up blankly.

He felt that there was a fog around him, which kept him from discovering the truth of the matter.Curiosity made him want to trace the truth and find its secrets.

But his instinct as a time traveler told him to be cautious.

Guo Juxia's strength must be a congenital master. Zhu Wushi can have such a great name in the Jianghu, and his strength should have entered the congenital realm.Compared with the two of them, Lu Cheng is like an ant, who can be crushed to death by them at any time.

What Shangguan Haitang said today is very true. In the case of insufficient strength, there is no need to pursue the truth behind the scenes too much. His current strength may not even be able to beat Shangguan Haitang. He is just a pawn being used. Before his life is in danger , or let nature take its course.

"Now that Zhan Hongling and Catching God are acting as shields on me, I will practice honestly and strive to touch the innate threshold earlier. '

"Strength is still the number one. With strength, whoever dares to plot against me can push it across at that time, and there is no need to waste such brains at all." '

'sleep! '

……

Xishan, the capital, Hulong Villa.

Zhu Wushi was wearing a black robe, his hair was simply tied up with a headband, he was holding a book in his hand, and was reading it intently.

Looking at his square face, with flesh on his face, square forehead, and protruding cheekbones, he is a typical face with the word "country", a typical face of a loyal minister.

'Boom boom boom! '

"Father, I am Haitang!"

Hearing the voice of someone outside the door, Zhu Wushi slightly relaxed his brows.

"It's Haitang, you're not going to the capital today on business, what are you doing back so late!"

"Father, are you asleep?" Shangguan Haitang asked.

Zhu Wushi put down his book and rubbed his temples with his hands, "I haven't slept yet, come in!"

"Thank you my father!"

Shangguan Haitang thanked her, and then opened the door and entered.

"Father, I have already investigated Lu Cheng's situation clearly, and I know that father cares about him, so I came to report overnight."

"Let's talk!" Zhu Wushi smiled, and an imperceptible satisfaction flashed in the depths of his eyes. "It's not too urgent. You can come back tomorrow. If you're on your way tonight, what should you do in case of danger?"

Shangguan Haitang clasped her fists together and saluted, "The adoptive father has a life, so how dare the child be negligent."

"This Lu Cheng is an orphan left behind by Zhan Hongling and Zhui Ming when they wiped out Iron Blood Valley. Because he was bought and raised by Iron Blood Valley since he was a child, he can't remember where his home is. Because he has some skills, he was taken by Zhan Hongling. Come and join the Six Doors, and now I am serving under the name of Catcher."

"Hanging under the name of Catcher?" Zhu Wushi looked puzzled, "Since Catcher took this position, he has never taken the initiative to put anyone under his name. What is the reason this time?"

"It's because Zhan Hongling wants to put Lu Cheng under her name, but Catching God doesn't want to."

"So it is!"

Zhu Wushi put down his guard. He thought that the God Catcher valued Lu Cheng's talent and wanted to bring him by his side to train him so that he could take over the position of God Catcher in the future.

It turned out that it was because of Zhan Hongling, so it was understandable.

"Catching God and Zhan's family are old, Zhan Hongling can call him Shishu. Now Zhan Hongling is nominally the 'world's number one female catcher', and her subordinates are all women. Suddenly there is an extra man, and this reputation will be even worse. If I were Catcher, I wouldn't let Lu Cheng hang under Zhan Hongling's name, after all, she is a girl, so she has to marry no matter what."

"Father!" Shangguan Haitang shouted with some dissatisfaction.

As a woman, Shangguan Haitang admired Zhan Hongling for her achievements.Only she knows how much pressure Zhan Hongling, who can do things as a woman, has endured in these years.

Since she was a child, Shangguan Haitang has appeared in the outside world as a man, which made her a lot more convenient.

But there were many nights when Shangguan Haitang also wanted to put on women's clothing and tell those men as a woman that she, Shangguan Haitang, would never give up to men.

What a man can do, she can do too.

It's just that she didn't have such courage after all, so she admired Zhan Hongling even more.

Now that she heard what Zhu Wushi said, she was dissatisfied, because this judgment made her feel that her hard work was in vain, and made her feel that sooner or later she would be forced to marry.

Shangguan Haitang didn't like such things.

"Okay, I was wrong!"

It is true that Zhu ignores his own ambitions, but this does not mean that he is a ruthless devil.

Among the three secret agents in Hulong Mountain Villa, Shangguan Haitang is his adopted son, and he poured his true feelings into Haitang, making her his sustenance for his child.

As long as his ambition is not exposed for a day, this feeling will always exist.

"Then can he go to Guo's mansion today?" Zhu Wushi seemed to ask casually, looking quite indifferent.

Shangguan Haitang said: "After filling up the household registration in Shuntian Mansion, Zhan Hongling took him to the Guo Mansion, but the two of them didn't go in, I don't know why?"

Zhu Wushi said: "Because Lu Cheng possesses the two moves of Jingtao Palm, which he learned from Guo Juxia's daughter Guo Furong, and I also received this information, so I want you to pay special attention to him. Jingtao Palm is Guo Juxia’s unique skill, ever since Guo Juxia and his disciples blocked the Dongying Ronin five years ago and all of them died, Guo Juxia has withdrawn in his heart, if His Majesty hadn’t tried his best to persuade him to stay, I believe he would have stopped meddling in Jianghu affairs.”

"This Lu Cheng's origin is unknown, but he was able to learn Jingtao Palm from Guo Furong. I suspect that this is his scheming. His background is tricky. If he entered the rivers and lakes to deceive Guo Juxia's trust, learn Jingtao Palm, and then cause disaster If it is martial arts, then it will be troublesome."

Shangguan Haitang didn't doubt what Zhu ignored.

"Since that's the case, why didn't foster father go directly to Guo Juxia to clarify this matter?"

Zhu Wushi shook his head, "Haitang, I am the God of Tiedan of Hulong Villa, the reason why Hulong Villa was built in Xishan is because it is better for guarding the capital, and the other is right and wrong because I don't want to join the court. Since Guo Juxia has decided not to meddle in Jianghu affairs, I don’t want to bother me in person. Once I go, whether Guo Juxia sees me or doesn’t see me, some people will use it to criticize me and Guo Juxia.”

"Ten years ago, when the emperor was young, I was ordered by the late emperor to protect the royal family from being oppressed by the courtiers and to protect the well-being of the world. Now that your majesty is an adult, if I get too involved in the affairs of the court, I will only Make His Majesty unhappy."

"Guo Juxia intended to withdraw from the arena back then. The reason why His Majesty personally retained him and gave him a house in the inner city was to let Guo Juxia use his spare energy and protect the safety of the palace. If I went to find him, some treacherous ministers said that I wanted to collude with Guo Juxia and endanger the emperor. Safe, I'm afraid His Majesty will punish me!"

Listening to Zhu Wushi's analysis, Shangguan Haitang was full of dissatisfaction with the court.

In her heart, foster father Zhu Wushi is a real man who is willing to contribute to the imperial court and has never married a wife.Under such circumstances, the courtiers would attack him, these people are really bad.

"Father, I believe that father is loyal and courageous, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other. In the future, when your majesty comes to his senses, he will know how much heart he has for the imperial court."

Hearing this, Zhu Wushi wanted to laugh.

He felt that his adoptive son was really cute, and he actually believed that the emperor would understand him.

The emperor is known as a loner, and everyone will be suspicious except himself.It is true that Zhu Wushi is the emperor's uncle, but there are many other emperor's uncles who are of the same generation as him, and Zhu Wushi is not bad at all.

Furthermore, the royal family has no family ties. One of the people trusted by the emperor is the eunuch, the second is the real eunuch, the third is the court officials, and the last is the various relatives of the emperor.

Zhu Wushi can guarantee that if he goes to Guo Juxia, when the courtiers attack him, the emperor will definitely not speak well of him, but will take the opportunity to deprive him of all his rights and hand them over to others.

"As long as you, Haitang, can understand your adoptive father, that's enough."

Shangguan Haitang was moved, and felt more and more that the imperial court had treated Zhu ignorantly too much.

"Father, Lu Cheng will go to Jiangnan tomorrow to investigate the case of the Fuwei Escort's extermination."

Speaking of this, Zhu Wushi looked solemn, with murderous eyes in his eyes, "The Fuwei Escort Bureau has been wiped out for so long, what did the Jiangnan god catcher Jin Jiuling do for food, and the case of the embroidered robber, Nanwang's [-] Dendrobium pearls were stolen, Nanwang The matter has come to the capital, and even His Majesty is furious, if he still can't find out the truth within two months, then he's a good catcher!"

"Father calm down!"

Shangguan Haitang saw that Zhu ignored the anger, and quickly comforted him, "Father, this Jin Jiuling has been able to sit in Jiangnan for so many years, and he has the strength. Recently, there must be someone behind the scenes of the embroidered robber case and the Fuwei Escort's extermination case in Jiangnan. Especially It was the Fuwei Escort that destroyed the family, and the property was transferred overnight, so it must not be a single person."

"The people in the world are getting more and more wanton!"

"Father, why don't I take a trip to the south of the Yangtze River. With my strength, I can definitely find clues, maybe I can find out the murderer behind the scenes."

"No!" Zhu Wushi directly refused, looking at Haitang's puzzled eyes, he explained: "Now this matter is handled by the six gates, if you go there now, not only will it be useless, but it will cause trouble, allowing Jin Jiuling to escape. If he fails to solve the case before the deadline stated by His Majesty, he will definitely drag you into the water, Haitang."

Faced with Zhu's attitude of ignoring strength, Shangguan Haitang had no choice but to give up.

"Father, this Lu Cheng is going to investigate the case of the Fuwei Escort. I think he is average in strength. I told him to investigate who the murderer is and return to the capital. Don't cause more trouble. Save a useful body and serve the court in the future."

'Da da……'

Zhu Wushi put his fingers on the table and tapped, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"The water in Jiangnan Martial Arts is too deep, and Lu Cheng's strength is not top-notch, so he will definitely not be able to grasp it. Your reminder is correct. Whether Lu Cheng intends to get close to Guo Juxia or not, before he reveals his purpose, he is still a member of the court. The future of the imperial court depends on you young people, I am determined to find out Lu Cheng's intentions, and I also want to give him a clean slate, so that he can better contribute to the imperial court."

"I will draw people's attention to the matter in Jiangnan. Once Jin Jiuling expires and cannot find the real culprit, I will go to His Majesty and ask Haitang to investigate in Jiangnan. This way, I will be famous."

Now Hulong Villa's rights are severely restricted, the emperor is the ruler of the world, even if he is the emperor's uncle, it is useless.Now the emperor is an adult and is in charge of the government. He is the veritable master of this world.There are two factories in the east and west guarding the palace, and the guards in royal clothes outside thoroughly investigate the courtiers.The Shenhou Mansion is in charge of the border generals to prevent these people from rebelling. There are also six gates targeting the Jianghu. With the cooperation of the two, it can be said to be seamless.

Under such circumstances, many embroidered thieves occurred in Jiangnan, and the Fuwei Escort was wiped out. The two events were like a pair of scissors, cutting through the imperial court's pressure on Jiangnan's martial arts.

If the incident in the south of the Yangtze River is not calmed down, and the majesty of the court is not there, there will be no guarantee that there will be more troubles in the Jiangnan martial arts.

"Haitang, go back and rest!"

"Yes!"

In response, Haitang turned and left, leaving only Zhu Wushou looking at the night sky outside.

In the dark night, only a few stars are shining.

"This sky is really the same as my mood now!"
