Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Some time after Hua Manlou and the other person left.

Zhao Xu often traveled between Suzhou City and Murong Villa.

Because he made two new friends, Yue Qing and Zhu Ting.

Zhu Ting is Lu Xiaofeng's friend, and Zhao Xu is also Lu Xiaofeng's friend, so Zhao Xu and Zhu Ting can also be friends.

Zhu Ting, the descendant of Lu Ban, is the best at making mechanical devices in the Ming Dynasty. Even his senior brother Yue Qing is inferior to him.

Zhu Ting has a pair of deft hands and superb craftsmanship, and is very famous. He is known as the boss with skillful hands, but he is not good at business.

He was a lazy person who loved to enjoy life. In order to support himself, he settled his family in Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

Rich areas have many wealthy people.

There will be more people who need his craft, and with more business, he can support his family well.

Yue Qing has encountered a great disaster this time and now depends on his daughter for survival.

In order to ensure a stable future, he decided to move to a place not far from his junior fellow apprentice Zhu Ting's home so that he could be looked after.

In the case of the fake banknotes, Zhao Xu was considered to have done a favor to the two of them.

Of course, that’s all; he can only be the benefactor of the two.

Zhao Xu is also proficient in mechanical creation, which is the real reason why they can become friends.

Sharing common hobbies and careers allowed Zhao Xu to quickly become closer to the two.

The exchanges about mechanical creations benefited all three of them a lot.

Time flies, and it is now early March.

In spring, the north began to warm up, and Zhao Xu said goodbye and headed north.

March sixteenth.

Shuntian Mansion.

Half a month later, Zhao Xu went north along the canal and finally arrived at Shuntian Prefecture, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, from Jiangnan.

After traveling to this world for several years, Zhao Xu has never seen the capital of a country.

Because Shuntian Prefecture is close to the border, the architectural style of the entire city is very different from that of Jiangling City and Suzhou City that Zhao Xu had seen before.

Its architectural style is closer to that of Liyang Qingzhou Xiangfan City and is highly defensive.

The city walls are tall and strong, and the city gates, corner towers and other defensive facilities are complete.

Because it is the capital.

The architectural planning within the city has a strict layout and hierarchy, with clear distinctions between different levels.

After entering the city, Zhao Xu did not wander around, but went directly to the Wang's Trading Company's base in the capital.

He urgently needed information from Shuntian Prefecture, and also wanted to see if the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Shuntian Prefecture is very big, but anywhere, as long as you show your "money ability", you can quickly get everything you want.

When Zhao Xu first entered Shuntian Prefecture, although he was unfamiliar with the place, he still quickly found the location of Wang's Trading Company.

Get the information you need.

Zhao Xu did not live in the accommodation provided by the trading company, but chose to stay in an inn.

Youshi.

In the hotel room.

Zhao Xu squatted beside a brazier.

His eyes were as fast as lightning. He quickly scanned the information in his hands and threw the information he had read into the fire basin to destroy it.

It took Zhao Xu half a quarter of an hour to finish reading all the information.

"interesting!"

From the intelligence, Zhao Xu already knew the reason why Captain Zhuifeng was in a hurry to rush back to the capital.

It turned out that during the time when he was chasing the wind to the south of the Yangtze River, a major case occurred in the capital.

The entire family of Zhang Hairui, a third-rank official of the imperial court and right vice minister of the Ministry of War, was killed, except for his only son Zhang Renfeng, who was missing.

It is said that the Zhang family collected half of Rama's body, which attracted the killer organization Black Stone.

The Zhang family was fighting with Heishi for Rama's body, which led to this tragedy.

From this information, Zhao Xu knew that this was the plot of Sword Rain in his memory.

Everything that happened in the rain of swords revolved around "Rama's remains".

When talking about "Rama's remains", we have to mention one person, Emperor Wu of Liang, who is closely related to the Liancheng treasure.

It is said that in order to spread Buddhism, the Indian monk Rama voluntarily castrated himself and entered the palace to preach to Emperor Wu of Liang.

After Rama's death, his body was found to be intact when his descendants dealt with it.

At that time, it was said that Rama's martial arts skills were so advanced that he could regenerate severed limbs, so his body was intact.

The story became more and more mysterious as it was passed on, and gradually evolved into a story that there were unparalleled martial arts hidden within Rama's body.

As long as you can comprehend and master this martial art, you can become a peerless master and dominate the martial arts world.

Zhao Xu, who had memories of his past life, naturally knew the plot of Sword Rain.

However, in this comprehensive world, Zhao Xu believes that things are not that simple.

An important place in the capital.

A third-rank official of the Ming Dynasty was killed silently along with his entire family just because of half of Rama's body.

It seems like a joke no matter how you look at it.

Zhao Xu remembered that the leader of the Black Stone Killer Organization, King Zhuanlun, was a eunuch.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed.

"Could this matter be related to the East Factory or the West Factory?"

Black Stone alone, a Chakravartin, definitely wouldn't have the guts to do that.

Zhao Xu carefully recalled the information he had just seen in his mind.

According to intelligence, Zhang Ruihai has served as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War for many years and is a supporter of the current Minister of War Yang Yuxuan.

"Ministry of War, Yang Yuxuan..."

Combining all the information together, Zhao Xu had a bold guess in his mind.

In addition to the Zhang family massacre, there are four major forces that need attention in the capital: the East and West Factories, the Hulong Villa, and the Six Gates.

Zhao Xu mainly focused on the situation of the masters in these forces.

Apart from these, Zhao Xu's focus was on the Heavenly Prison.

Because there was someone he wanted to see inside, the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong.

The energy-absorbing technique and Vajra-indestructible magic skill in Gu Santong's hands are the most important goals of Zhao Xu's trip to the capital.

After sorting out all the information in his mind, Zhao Xu had a general framework of the situation in Beijing.

midnight.

Zhao Xu sneaked out of the inn to meet someone.

From September last year to now, Zhao Xu has been in the Ming Dynasty for half a year.

In half a year, he achieved some success, but he also felt increasingly overwhelmed.

He could not take away the treasures and resources he found and transform them into his own power.

Zhao Xu had this premonition when he found the treasure in the underground palace in Emei.

So he sent a message to An Guo in Chengdu, asking Jin Meiniang to send some capable people to meet him in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the news received at Wang's Trading Company today, these people have arrived, but the leader surprised Zhao Xu a little.

Zhao Xu's martial arts today have made great progress compared to Jing Cheng.

So even though this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is still easy for Zhao Xu to sneak around as long as he doesn't go to some important institutions.

The speed was very fast. A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Xu arrived at a large mansion.

Without alerting more people, Zhao Xu sneaked in quietly.

Relying on his own perception and search, Zhao Xu quickly found the target.

"bang bang bang"

There were three very low knocks on the door.

"who?"

The people in the room were very alert and had very light sleep.

"it's me!"

After a brief conversation, the people in the house knew who the visitor was through the sound of the voice.

After a while, the door slowly opened.

Eyes facing each other.

After more than half a year, two familiar people met again.

"Ruyi, long time no see!"
