Chasing the gods in Zongwudang

The burning flames of the two corpses were separated between Lu Cheng and Cao Zhengchun.

When Ding Mian and Lu Bai died, Cao Zhengchun didn't even roll his eyes, he just stood there quietly warming himself by the fire, those who didn't know thought he was so cold!

"Master Cao, come to find Lu at such a late hour, if you have something to say!" It was Lu Cheng who spoke first, there was no other way.

Cao Zhengchun's martial arts were too high, Lu Cheng didn't dare to bet on how long his patience would last, if he saw that Lu Cheng had been silent, got up and tried two tricks with him, then Lu Cheng would be asking for trouble.

"Master Lu is a smart person, our family likes to talk to smart people!"

Cao Zhengchun first praised Lu Cheng, and then asked: "Master Lu, do you know why Cao will sit and watch these two people be killed by Master Lu?"

Lu Cheng frowned.

He felt that there were some things that he didn't know, but the problem now was that Lu Cheng knew too little information, even if it was speculation, he couldn't start with it.

"Since Mr. Cao knows about Mr. Lu, after thinking about it, he also knows that Mr. Lu is new to the rivers and lakes. About Mr. Cao's thoughts, Mr. Lu can't guess?"

Cao Zhengchun showed a warm smile, and looked at Lu Cheng with burning eyes, "Our family said just now that we like to talk to smart people. If Mr. Lu is not a smart person, then our family will leave!"

After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, Lu Cheng felt that his surroundings became much colder in an instant.The flames burning in front of him could not bring any warmth to Lu Cheng at this time.

Could this be killing intent?

Lu Cheng knew that he had no way out now, and Cao Zhengchun just wanted to force him to speak.If he didn't say anything, he might face Cao Zhengchun's attack next.

The most important thing is that Lu Cheng feels that he has no confidence in facing Cao Zhengchun.

"Since Mr. Cao wants me to say it, then I will say a few words. If I make a mistake, please don't be offended by Mr. Cao!"

In an instant, the surroundings returned to normal, the warmth of the flames, the hot weather, and the ubiquitous smell of blood around.

Cao Zhengchun said: "Just say it boldly. Although our family is not as broad-minded as the prime minister, we are not petty. We will definitely not attack you just because of a few words."

Lu Cheng didn't believe a word of this sentence.

"Just now, Lu Bai and Ding Mian each said the last sentence. The former said that I am a monster from the Demon Cult, and the latter said that the Songshan faction is under the command of Mr. Cao. In Lu's humble opinion, these two sentences are wrong! Isn't Lu The Demon Sect is a monster, and the Songshan Sect is not under Master Cao's command!"

Cao Zhengchun nodded slightly, and made a gesture of invitation, motioning for Lu Cheng to continue talking.

"First of all, Mr. Lu is a member of the Six Doors. If even Mr. Lu is a monster from the Demon Cult, then what are the Six Doors and the imperial court? What Lu Bai said is really treasonous and he deserves death."

"Secondly, the owner of Dongchang is now Liu Xi, and Songshan sent Zuo Lengchan to seek refuge with Liu Xi, not Mr. Cao. If Mr. Cao wants to go further, the weaker Liu Xi's power is naturally the better. Only In this way, it will be smoother for Mr. Cao to enter the East Factory in the future."

"It is also because of this that Master Cao asked me to take Liu Jing away, because Master Cao did not want Zuo Lengchan's plan to go too smoothly, and Liu Jing is a tool to attract the hatred of Songshan School. As long as Liu Jing exists for a day, this The Songshan School will be like a light on their backs, and they will not sleep well."

Cao Zhengchun praised: "That's right!"

"Our family is indeed interested in the position of Dongchang factory master. Before that, Liu Xi's strength is naturally as weak as possible. Only in this way can our family better share the worries of His Majesty the emperor. You know, our family manages Dongchang. , is actually what His Majesty meant. You can boldly guess at this point, there are only you and me here, even if you say something wrong, it doesn’t matter.”

Ha ha!

There are only the two of us here, even if you kill me, no one else will know.

Lu Cheng felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't beat Cao Zhengchun right now, so he could only follow Cao Zhengchun's question.

"The Dongchang is a department that shares the worries of the emperor. It is the foundation of Dongchang's survival to think what the emperor thinks. Now Liu Xi is making great efforts to expand his prestige in the Jianghu, win over Zuo Lengchan, and promote the Five Sacred Mountains. This Songshan School, Taishan School The four sects, Nanyue Hengshan and Beiyue Hengshan are only second-rate schools, not worth mentioning. But once merged, they will instantly become the first-rate schools in the world. At that time, apart from the masters who lack innate realm, other first-rate masters and second- and third-rate disciples No less than Wudang Shaolin."

"Shaolin will definitely not sit idly by the appearance of such a behemoth. In addition, Liu Xi puts his mind on the rivers and lakes, so he will inevitably ignore the emperor's thoughts. It's okay for a while, but in the long run, the emperor's heart If you don’t like it, Liu Xi should naturally step aside.”

"It's just that Liu Xi has controlled the East Factory for many years, and he has his staff from top to bottom. If someone is forced to take over the East Factory, it will only be counterproductive. In addition, Liu Xi's management in the Jianghu has already become a trend that cannot be lost. Now The rivers and lakes cannot tolerate him, the emperor cannot tolerate him, he will definitely die."

Cao Zhengchun looked at Lu Cheng carefully with both eyes, and couldn't help sighing: "Lord Lu, you are really smart."

"Our family has already understood the situation in the East Factory, but it is difficult for our family to deal with it in Jianghu."

"It's a matter of the rivers and lakes, it's the rivers and lakes. The Songshan faction is powerful. Zuo Lengchan has been at the top of the first-class for many years. He has already touched the threshold of the innate realm. His strength is even stronger than Yue Buqun. In addition, the disciples and grandchildren of the Songshan faction, the elders and protectors Like others, our family can't do it ourselves, we can only hope that Mr. Lu can help our family."

Lu Cheng smiled wryly: "Master Cao trusts me too much! My strength is only average and top-notch. It is dangerous to deal with Lu Bai and Ding Mian, let alone the Songshan faction."

Cao Zhengchun said: "Master Lu, our family knows that you are a smart person, and this smart person has a smart way of doing things. Besides, our family does not want Master Lu to kill Songshan, if that is the case, the first person to catch God will not promise."

"It's a matter of the rivers and lakes, it's the rivers and lakes. This Songshan faction has offended many people in the rivers and lakes by acting so arrogantly. It looks like a prosperous scene, but it is actually a dead bone in the grave, vulnerable to a single blow."

"If our family is in charge of the East Factory, then Lord Lu will be our best friend. If Lord Lu is not comfortable staying in the six doors, the East Factory will be waiting for Lord Lu's arrival at any time. When the time comes, our family will serve His Majesty in the palace. Lord Lu is in charge of managing the affairs of the Jianghu, and if you and I cooperate, we will definitely look forward to everything, and there will be no disadvantages."

Lu Cheng sighed, thinking in his mind.

If you want to deal with the Songshan faction, you can only use Jianghu means, such as Jianghu challenge, vendetta, as long as it is allowed by the six doors, you can do it.

However, Zuo Lengchan was very powerful, and if he wanted to completely destroy the Songshan School, he still needed to attack him morally.

If this is the case, then Dongchang's assistance is inevitable.

"Master Cao, regarding the Songshan School, Mr. Lu has an idea and needs the help of Mr. Cao. This matter is a bit risky, please ask Mr. Cao..."

Before Lu Cheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Zhengchun.

"If we are afraid of danger, our family will not use Dongchang, let alone plan for the position of Duke of Dongchang, and serve His Majesty in the palace, okay?"

Become!

Lu Cheng was overjoyed, he knew that Cao Zhengchun would agree.

"Lord Cao, how many experts Songshan sent to Hengyang?"

Cao Zhengchun replied casually: "Ding Mian, Lu Bai and Fei Bin are three. Now Ding Mian and Lu Bai are dead in your hands. Fei Bin went after Liu Zhengfeng and hasn't come back yet."

Lu Cheng said: "If you haven't come back yet, Fei Bin must have died outside. Are all the disciples of the Songshan School dead?"

Cao Zhengchun shook his head: "How can it be so easy, the disciples in the city are all dead, but there are still many people outside the city! If you want to kill people, I will tell you where they are hiding."

Killing, huh, huh!

Lu Cheng didn't want to kill anyone!

At least not tonight.

Just now he was a little hard to hold back, and the murderous intent in his heart rushed straight to the Lingtai, but fortunately he controlled it.If he can't control it, then Lu Cheng will only become a beast controlled by the killing intent in the future, not a person who controls the killing intent.

The reason why people are human is because they know how to control their own desires, instead of being sunk in them.

"I want to say, are there many people in the Jianghu who know that the Songshan faction works for Dongchang?"

Cao Zhengchun frowned, keenly aware that there was something tricky about it.

"Of course I don't know, Liu Xi and Zuo Lengchan are not fools. If the news of the two people's cooperation is widely spread, then Zuo Lengchan will not be tolerated in the world, and the court will not tolerate... Wait, you mean let me To expose this matter? I have thought about this matter too, but this matter is too risky. If it gets on me, Liu Xi can kick me out of Dongchang. After all, Liu Xi is the owner of Dongchang. It depends on my displeasure, if I leave Dongchang and spoil His Majesty's plan, then I will not do well with His Majesty the Emperor."

You were afraid of wolves before, but you were afraid of tigers later, and you still want to be the boss of Dongchang.

Lu Cheng despised Cao Zhengchun in his heart, and then said without changing his face: "The evidence is that during the day, Mr. Cao personally came forward to help the Songshan faction take down Liu Zhengfeng. Mrs. Dingyi must suspect that the Songshan faction is in collusion with Dongchang. If these three people can come forward to testify, how does Lord Cao think the effect will be?"

Cao Zhengchun said: "These three people will come forward to testify, of course the effect will be very good, I just want these three people to come forward, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult. But... it is not impossible!"

"Your boy is indeed a smart person. Remember what our family said today. One day you don't want to stay at Six Doors anymore. You can come to Dongchang to find me at any time."

Turning around, Cao Zhengchun was just about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and said in a low voice: "Liu Xi's internal energy is profound, but because of the great method of absorbing internal energy, he has not yet broken through the innate realm."

Liu Xi is not innate?

Lu Cheng was really shocked by the news.

According to the information he got from Dong Fangbai, innateness is a big threshold, and the difference between being past and being unable to pass is almost a world of difference.

Cao Zhengchun gave him the same feeling as Dong Fangbai gave him, plus Cao Zhengchun's indifferent feeling when talking about the innate realm, it shows that he has already entered the innate realm.

If this is the case, then why didn't Cao Zhengchun kill Liu Xi with his own hands, instead he used such a troublesome method?Could it be that my conjectures just now were all useless, and that Cao Zhengchun was just trying to test me?

……

On the roof, Cao Zhengchun leaned over there lightly, watching the fire light shining on Lu Cheng's ever-changing face, he smiled softly.

'Young man, the water in this river and lake is very deep, and the water in this palace is also very deep.If our family wants to be the Duke of Dongchang, we must follow the rules of the palace. If our family directly kills Liu Xi, it will be a violation of the rules.But this kid is really smart, as long as the reputation of the Songshan School is ruined and his strength is reduced to an ordinary second-rate school, then our family can rest assured to take over the East Factory. '

'Liu Xi, Liu Xi, everyone says you are a smart person, but in our family's opinion, you are just a little clever.In Dongchang, you must abide by the rules of the imperial palace, and in Jianghu, you must abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes. If you want to catch everything, you will only end up with nothing. '

In the next second, Cao Zhengchun disappeared on the roof and entered the alley next to the Liu Mansion.

There, a figure was waiting for him.

"Mr. Yue, everyone says you are a hypocrite. Even our family never thought that you would wait for our family here for Lu Cheng."

The black shadow took a step forward, letting the moonlight shine on his body, revealing his appearance, it was Yue Buqun.

"I've met Mr. Cao!"

"Whether it's a real gentleman or a hypocrite, to Yue, this is just a title, and Yue won't care about it."

After saying this, Yue Buqun's eyes became much firmer.

"On the contrary, Mr. Cao, you seem to be from Dongchang. Now my brother Lu is from the Six Doors. You want to plot against him, but have you thought about the consequences?"

Cao Zhengchun sneered, "Consequence, you, Yue Buqun, dare to say these two words to me? If you change the wind and say it, I will still be afraid, you are far behind!"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun suddenly disappeared in front of Yue Buqun, and the next second, he appeared behind Yue Buqun, with his right hand falling towards Yue Buqun's shoulder.

Cao Zhengchun was very confident. After he landed this palm, his internal force would instantly block many acupuncture points on Yue Buqun's upper body, making it impossible for Yue Buqun to even commit suicide.

But Cao Zhengchun, who was behind Yue Buqun, didn't notice Yue Buqun's eyes. The originally black eyeballs had turned purple.At the same time, a smear of purple air rose on his chest, but it filled Yue Buqun's chest in an instant.

'Snapped! '

Cao Zhengchun's slap fell, and a shocking thing happened. Originally, he thought that he would be sure to catch Yue Buqun, but now he was in vain.

Looking at Yue Buqun, his whole body was surrounded by purple energy, looking mysterious and powerful.

"Zixia Divine Art!"

Cao Zhengchun showed surprise, "I didn't expect that you could practice the Zixia Divine Art to such an extent, let alone that the Zixia Divine Art could allow you to temporarily have the combat power of a master."

Facing Cao Zhengchun, who was in the innate realm, Yue Buqun's Zixia magic power was running at full strength, and a pair of purple pupils stared at him firmly, not daring to relax.

"It's not just me, many people in this Jianghu have reached this point, but they have never crossed over. Does Mr. Cao know why?"

Cao Zhengchun retreated and disappeared in the darkness.

"Yes, of course our family knows. Jianghu has the inheritance of Jianghu, and this palace also has the secrets of the palace. If it wasn't for becoming a master before Liu Xi and blocking him from being born, our family is now similar to Mr. Yue. It's just Time doesn't wait for me, this grandmaster realm, we can't come here!"

"I don't know how Mr. Yue planned the matter of the Songshan School?"

Yue Buqun said: "Songshan faction has violated the rules of the world. As long as Shaolin Temple finds out about the collusion between Zuo Lengchan and Dongchang, those bald donkeys will naturally take action. You must know that it is not only our faction that is most afraid of the Five Sacred Sects what!"

"Ha ha!"

Cao Zhengchun sneered, and said, "Mr. Jianyue is indeed a gentleman! Since Mr. Yue wants the bald donkey from Shaolin Temple to come forward, then this matter will be handled by our family. I will trouble Mr. Yue to worry about the rest. It's getting late, so we won't bother you!"

Yue Buqun's eyes turned to the distance, watching the figure disappear, the purple air surrounding him became more intense, and in the next second, a touch of purple left in the opposite direction.

The alley became calm again.
