……
Great Ming, Wanmei Villa.
A cold-faced man in white robes looked at the Divine Might Sword Manual in his hand, and a wave finally rose in his heart.
He was Ximen Chuixue.
He had learned swordsmanship at the age of seven and had achieved success in seven years. He loved the sword as his life and regarded killing as an art. After killing, he liked to blow off the blood on his sword, just like how a person who returned at night shook off the snowflakes on his body.
Therefore, he was Ximen Chuixue.
Everyone knew that he was a genius of the sword, but they didn't know.
When he was seven years old, he once met a sword immortal who could fly on a sword.
That sword immortal had given him two pointers that he could use for the rest of his life, but he was still far away from the realm of sword immortal.
Now, the Heavenly Dao Peerless Rankings had descended, and he was on it.
He even obtained the Divine Might Sword Manual.
He wondered if learning the Divine Might Sword Manual would allow him to be closer to the realm of a sword immortal.
……
In the Imperial Palace of Great Ming.
Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Bujue both saw the man named Ximen Chuixue.
"Your Majesty, this Ximen Chuixue is also one of the top swordsmen in the Ming Dynasty.”
"It seems that our Ming Jianghu is still full of talents.”
Zhu Budian looked at Zhu Houzhao's back and thought,""So what if there are many talented people? Do you know how to use talents?”
A look of disdain flashed across Zhu Budian's eyes.
This throne should have been his to begin with.
He would get it back sooner or later.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Peerless Rankings flickered with golden light again.
The 45th on the Peerless List, Huo Xiu.
[Identity: Originally named Shang Guanmu, a subordinate of the Golden Roc Dynasty.] When the " Golden Roc Dynasty " was captured by the Cossack Cavalry, the king of the time entrusted them with bringing all the wealth of the Great Golden Roc Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty with Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe. They waited for the descendants of the dynasty to come and retrieve the treasures before trying to recover them.
He loved money as much as his life. In the decades of Ming Dynasty, he had organized the 108th floor of Qingyi and was the head of it.
Huo Xiu's Golden Roc Divine Skill was a combination of Lightness Skill, Internal Strength, and Acupoint Pressing Skill.
[Reward: Earth Grade high-level medicinal pill, Longevity Pill, can increase lifespan by 30 years.]
Whoosh!
After seeing this scene.
It wasn't just the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao who was stunned.
Even Zhu Budian was stunned.
A hint of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.
The head of the Qingyi Brothel was actually that old fellow Huo Xiu!
Huo Xiu was the richest man in Da Ming!
He didn't expect her to have such an identity!
Qingyi House was an assassin organization.
Their influence spread all over Great Ming, and even in other dynasties, there were still forces of the Qingyi Pavilion.
The head of the Qingyi Brothel had always been mysterious, and no one knew his true identity.
This time, he had poked a hornet's nest.
The Qingyi House was an assassin organization. The reason why it had been feared by people all these years was because it was mysterious enough.
The Qingyi Pavilion hidden in the dark corner was the most terrifying.
But now, the head of the Qingyi Brothel, Huo Xiu, was exposed to the sun.
This also meant that Huo Xiu's good days were over.
Zhu Budian knew this very well.
It would not be easy for Huo Xiu to survive.
He had to find Huo Xiu.
He wanted to obtain Huo Xiu's wealth and power.
Huo Xiu, regardless of wealth or power, could be considered as a person second to none in the Daming Empire and even the entire Nine Prefectures.
If this person could be used by him, he would definitely be of great use in the future.
Thinking of this…
Zhu Budian cupped his hands at Emperor Zhu Houzhao and said,""Emperor, this official suddenly remembered that this official still has some urgent matters to deal with.”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said,""Since Imperial Uncle is busy with official matters, then Zhen will not keep Imperial Uncle.”
"In any case, the Heavenly Dao Peerless Rankings can be seen anywhere.”
"Moreover, the name list won't be finished in a short time.”
"Imperial Uncle, feel free to go."
Zhu Budian nodded slightly and bowed.
Zhu Budian left.
Zhu Houzhao immediately called Cao Zhengchun from the East Chamber.
"Cao Zhengchun, do you think you can recruit this Huo Xiu for me?”
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was filled with the majesty of a ruler.
It was completely different from the way he looked when he was with Zhu Bing.
Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and said,"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that since Huo Xiu has been exposed, he will naturally be attacked by everyone.”
"After all, in the past few decades, not only did the Qingyi Pavilion commit murder cases in the Ming Dynasty, but they also committed crimes in other dynasties.”
"In less than a month, Huo Xiu will definitely be besieged by the White Dao forces in the martial arts world.”
"The fact that Huo Xiu was able to develop the Qingyi Brothel to such an extent is enough to show that he is a smart person.”
"Therefore, this servant thinks that if I persuade Huo Xiu to surrender now, I should have a 70% chance of making him work for the emperor.”
"After all, there are not many people in the world who can save his life.”
"It's true that there aren't many, but it's not like there's no one else who can protect him other than Us," Zhu Houzhao said.”
"Zhen's imperial uncle just left in a hurry.”
"Isn't it just to plot against Huo Xiu?”
"Huo Xiu is as rich as a country. If his wealth falls into the hands of Imperial Uncle, it will definitely not be good news for Great Ming and Us.”
"Cao Zhengchun, I have a secret order for you.”
"You must do whatever it takes to take down Huo Xiu before Zhu Bujue.”
"If Huo Xiu is unwilling to submit to me, kill him!”
"The most important thing is that his wealth must belong to Da Ming!”
Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and said,"This servant obeys!"
"This servant will move now!"
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao suddenly called out to Cao Zhengchun.
"Wait a minute."
"Go and call Yu Huatian over.”
"Zhen has something to instruct him."
Cao Zhengchun suddenly left.
Very quickly.
A pale-faced eunuch appeared in front of Zhu Houzhao.
He was Yu Huatian.
He was directly under Zhu Houzhao's command.
There were no more than three people in Da Ming who knew of his existence.
"This servant pays his respects to the emperor."
Yu Huatian bowed respectfully towards Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand." There's no need for these formalities. I have something for you to do."”
Yu Huatian said,"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."”
"The Heavenly Dao Peerless Rankings mentioned that many years ago, Huo Xiu, Yan Tieshan, and Dugu Yihe brought all the wealth of the Golden Roc Dynasty to the Great Ming Dynasty.”
"In other words, apart from the key figure Huo Xiu, Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe also know about this wealth.”
"Go and find Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe.”
"No matter what method you use, you must collect this wealth.”
"If these two people are sensible, let them work for me. If they don't obey, kill them without mercy.”
When he said the words "kill without mercy".
Zhu Houzhao's face was filled with killing intent.
He was truly a decisive ruler.
Even someone as ruthless as Yu Huatian couldn't help but be intimidated by the Emperor's killing intent.
