Chapter 187 Recovering Lost Land
How could Wu Kunhu not be on guard against Xu Qiao when he made his move? He himself possessed about 20,000 soldiers. Even if their morale was low and their fighting spirit was lacking, they still had to take precautions against them! Especially when Xu Qiao himself was a strong opponent! And Wu Lie was an important chess piece for him to guard against Xu Qiao. Because of this, Wu Lie had two deputy generals of the 9th Grade Earth Rank assigned to him!
Although they were only cultivators who practiced only Earth Rank cultivation techniques, not on the same level as Xu Qiao, they had numbers on their side!
“Kill!”
Wu Lie entered the battlefield, but he was not as brainless as usual. Instead, he was commanding from behind. Both sides clashed! Human lives were akin to paper in this battle! When Xu Qiao saw that Wu Lie had brought a large group of people, he glared fiercely at Yan Luoying, but he did not dare to enter alone!
He brought his men and charged towards Xu Longze. Compared to killing Yan Luoying, he was more concerned about Xu Longze’s life and death.
Two of his three sons were dead.
No matter what, this eldest son could not join the other two.
Xu Qiao was ferocious enough to parry against two 9th Grade Earth Ranks and Old Zhou as he advanced!
One against three, forcing a bloody path out. He finally came to Xu Longze’s side. He then protected Xu Longze as he charged out!
Seeing that Xu Qiao was about to escape, Wu Lie and Yan Luoying did not order anyone to stop him. Instead, they targeted the soldiers brought by Xu Qiao. While commanding the troops to fight against the barbarians, they killed these human soldiers first!
On the other end, Su Wen had already killed countless barbarians!
He charged into the Fire barbarian camp.
Puchi!
A tall barbarian soldier was mercilessly split apart by Su Wen!
Right now, his entire face was covered in blood.
He resembled a devil that crawled out from hell.
Fear…
Su Wen felt very clearly… Fear was filling the eyes of the barbarians surrounding him! They were also sentient creatures after all, and they could feel fear.
“Run!”
It was unknown who shouted, but the group of barbarians actually retreated and fled!
A slight defeat would cause severe consequences on the battlefield!
A large number of Barbarians began to flee in all directions!
The two Barbarian Commanders who were fighting with Wu Kunhu had already discovered this situation. Unfortunately, they were unable to do anything! The defeat of the barbarian troops came like a landslide, sudden and exponentially fast!
Moreover, the two of them were unable to defeat Wu Kunhu! “Retreat!”
Jiluo Fu and Tamu Chuan retreated and fled!
Wu Kunhu however didn’t chase after the two of them! Their combat strengths were formidable, so even if he caught up to them, it would be difficult for him to kill them.
Instead, he also joined the formation to pursue and kill the stragglers. In an instant, those normal barbarians felt as though they had fallen into their worst nightmare!
His incomparably violent battle prowess was much more terrifying than Su Wen’s. With only a simple charge forward, severed limbs flew up in his wake. Dozens of Barbarians died with just a round of his attacks.
The retreat soon devolved into an utter rout. Wu Kunhu led his men and killed for several hours.
They only stopped when the sky started to brighten. After all, the ordinary soldiers would not be able to withstand it.
In the wilderness, Su Wen panted heavily. He was already out of touch with the main group! Or rather, the entire squad was somewhat out of touch with the main army. He did not know how many people he had killed.
But without a doubt, he had killed to his heart’s content today.
Because beneath his feet lay a multitude of barbarian corpses!
Suddenly, Su Wen saw two figures! Xu Qiao and Xu Longze, the father and son! There were only two of them left, and Xu Longze was also injured! Indeed, enemies met on a narrow road. When Xu Qiao saw Su Wen, he immediately left Xu Longze behind and rushed towards Su Wen. “B*st*rd, accept your death!” And it was precisely when enemies met, that their eyes became exceptionally red! Xu Qiao thrust out his spear. The killing intent on the spear seemed to have taken substance! “Nine Waves Return to Origin!” Su Wen slashed with all his might as well!
Xu Qiao shouted, “Brat, you have some capabilities! Seven Kills Gather, Spear Like Dragon, The Furious Dragon Assaults!” A dragon roared as it soared into the sky, and the black killing intent transformed into a dragon that charged straight at Su Wen with its mouth wide open! In response, Su Wen’s aura rapidly surged as Holy Flames rose to cover his saber!
But even so! Both sides collided, and in a short moment, Su Wen’s Saber Qi was crushed by the dragon’s bite.
In the end, no matter how powerful or comprehensive the Nine Waves Return to Origin secret technique was, it was only at the Earth Rank. And what Xu Qiao had used was precisely the killer move that his family’s Seven Kills Army had. Su Wen turned around quickly and activated Stellar Transposition in an attempt to dodge! However, the spear Qi seemed to have a mind of its own as it twisted in the air and ruthlessly struck Su Wen.
Right at this moment of life and death, Holy Flames surged up in Su Wen’s eyes. “Great Solar Supreme Policy, Raging Flames Mirage Body!”
In that instant, Su Wen seemed to have transformed into flickering flames as the black dragon phased through his body! Su Wen was completely unscathed! “How is this possible?!” The spectating Xu Longze couldn’t help but exclaim.
Xu Qiao’s spear had clearly struck Su Wen, but why was he completely fine? This was something he could not understand at all.
Su Wen landed on the ground and looked at Xu Qiao with fear in his eyes. This fellow was definitely the strongest opponent that Su Wen had ever fought. Because he had a deep understanding of martial arts, Su Wen’s Nine Waves Return to Origin was nothing in front of him. At this moment, it showed the inadequacy of his Earth Rank martial technique.
The upper limit was exposed. It was fortunate that Su Wen had upgraded the Great Solar Supreme Policy and used this Raging Flames Mirage Body technique to withstand the attack.
Otherwise, he would have died on the spot!
Xu Qiao narrowed his eyes!
What happened just now? Actually, it would be very easy for those manga fans to understand what had happened. To put it simply, Su Wen had elementalized the moment the attack was about to hit him. The only difference was that this is derived from a martial skill, not a Devil Fruit. A Heaven Rank martial technique was known to be able to ingest the power of rules. In some ways, it was somewhat similar to the unreasonable attributes of Devil Fruit. However, this consumed a lot of Su Wen’s True
Qi!
Su Wen, whose True Qi was already depleted, was left in an worse state than before. There was not much True Qi flowing through his meridians anymore. Su Wen knew that he had to pay a price if he wanted to survive.
He was already prepared to release the Great Solar River secret technique.
No matter what, being alive was the most important.
However, Su Wen was unwilling to give up. As his cultivation level increased, the price Su Wen had to pay for burning his cultivation level also became heavier.
This was because one had to put in more time and effort for every Grade of cultivation in the later stages.
“Forget it! Forget it! Let’s leave it at that! It’s better than dying!”
“Great Solar…”
Just as Su Wen was about to activate his secret technique, Xu Qiao suddenly moved! He flew backward, grabbed Xu Longze, and quickly fled!
At this moment, a sonic boom rang out in the distance. Wu Kunhu had appeared!
In an instant, he had already rushed to Su Wen’s side.
Xu Qiao, at this moment, was already a black dot far away. Wu Kunhu did not chase after them, instead turning to Su Wen, “Are you alright?” “I’m fine!” Su Wen shook his head.
Fortunately, he hadn’t activated the skill yet.
If he had just burnt his cultivation base and the other party ran away, he would have suffered a huge loss.
Wu Kunhu’s eyes were filled with admiration as he praised, “To be able to withstand one of Xu Qiao’s Seven Kills Ultimate Technique without dying is already very impressive.” Obviously, Wu Kunhu had already sensed their exchange over here. Wu Kunhu looked at Su Wen and smiled. “That move was quite interesting. Even I have never seen it before.”
Su Wen did not reply and instead asked curiously, “Uncle Wu, I thought you wanted me dead!”
Wu Kunhu could tell that he didn’t want to reveal the secret of his martial arts, but he could understand.
After all, there were many moves that existed. The more complex the skill, the harder it would be for someone to read through it.
He did not mind and turned to leave. As he walked, he said, “I do want you to die, but as a commander, I will not give up any of my soldiers! No matter who it is!” A tall figure and a powerful back view. With his manly words… Su Wen couldn’t help but sigh. “What a handsome man. He’s even more heroic than me. Why don’t we trick Wu Lie into giving him the Sex Change Pill? Sister Muyu shouldn’t be angry, right? Wouldn’t it be great to have two mothers?”
Su Wen pursed his lips slightly as he glanced back in the direction Xu Qiao left. The next time they met, he would not be so passive anymore.
As long as this old bastard did not ascend to the Heaven Rank, Su Wen believed that his progress would definitely be faster than his! He hurriedly took two steps forward and caught up to Wu Kunhu.
“Uncle Wu… I killed over 20,000 people last night… Look at all this blood on me… how about my marriage to Sister Muyu…” “Scram! You only killed 1,261 people.” Su Wen was indignant. “How would you know it’s 1261? I really killed more than 20,000 people last night. I’m almost exhausted from all the killing.” Wu Zehu laughed coldly and said, “As the initiator of the Blood Fiend Army Formation, I can determine the number of people killed based on the number of Blood Fiends gathered! You brat, you’ve killed 1,261! After returning to the capital, I’ll find you a Wind-Ripping Hou! As for the marriage, hehe…”
“You must have counted wrongly. I counted more than 20,000?”
“Uncle Wu, slow down. I really killed more than 20,000…”
Wu Kunhu snapped back in a stern voice, “I don’t have time to waste with you. I have to immediately set up an army to chase after them and recover the lost territory in one go. Otherwise, these barbarians will use the city as a foothold, and it’ll be difficult to recover the lost territory! At that time, who knows how many people will die!” Su Wen shut his mouth.
He was clear about the priorities. “I’m willing to be the vanguard!” “Then quickly recover your True Qi!” It was just as Wu Kunhu had said. Along the way, he led his men and ran madly, blowing the horn of counterattack! Su Wen, Yan Luoying, and Wu Lie were included. Wu Kunhu took the lead and forged out a path. The other generals also forged out their own paths!
They split up to chase and recover the lost land.
n
Su Wen and the others arrived at a city. At this moment, the city gates were wide open. There were no guards to be seen. In front of the city gate, there were only corpses lying around!
From their figures, one could tell… they were all humans!
Su Wen and the others rushed into the city.
As soon as they entered the city, they saw a barbarian holding a woman, who was crying and struggling However, she was being pinned to the ground by a powerful force!
The huge body of the Barbarian was thrusting, making people feel disgusted.
Puchi!
His head was chopped clean off! Su Wen quickly covered the woman with his clothes. His heart was filled with rage!
However, he knew that he did not have much time!
Some of these Barbarians were smart and had already sped up their escape. Those that remained were only those weak-willed b*st*rds who wanted to vent their anger after surviving a calamity! Su Wen and the others rushed into the city and split into small teams to clean up the remaining barbarians. The most detestable thing was that Su Wen actually discovered some humans taking advantage of the situation. Taking the opportunity to plunder and rape! It could only be said that the inferiority of creatures was the same regardless of whether they were barbarians or humans. There were always some scum in every race. All those who were discovered by Su Wen and the others were killed! After clearing one city, he left some people behind and hurried to the next one. This continued for several days in a row! Under the hard work of Wu Kunhu, Su Wen, and the others, they finally managed to reclaim all the land they lost to the barbarians. However, this did not mean that the matter was over. Wu Kunhu immediately commanded everyone to fortify their defenses. At the same time, the army started to gear up for war. During this time, he requested for disaster relief from Emperor Zhou. Most of the things that the people in the Southern Border owned had been snatched away by the barbarians. These days, everyone was extremely busy. Meanwhile, in the land of the Fire Barbarians! Jiluo Fu and Tamu Chuan bowed before an elder.
This was the High Priest of the Fire Barbarians Tribe.
In this battle, almost half of the barbarian warriors had died.
The Fire Barbarians had suffered heavy losses. As for the Xu father and son, they did not have any soldiers on them. But in order to survive, they could only return to the Fire Barbarians tribe.
It wasn’t as if there were no human in the Fire Barbarians Tribe. However, most of the humans here were slaves of the barbarians.
The priest sat on a chair, his face full of wrinkles. He looked extremely old, and his tall body had shrivelled over the years to become unusually thin.
He muttered, “I’ve already received news… You all said… that brat possesses the Golden Crow Sacred Flame… is this true?” “Absolutely!”
Beside the High Priest was the current Fire Barbarian King, Mu Gu. He was still very young, looking to be only in his forties.
He bowed and said, “Lord Priest, what should we do now?”
“We need to find a way to bring him back!” the High Priest growled. “It’s been hundreds of years since anyone awakened the Golden Crow’s bloodline in our Fire Tribe. No one has been able to control the Golden Crow’s sacred flame, no one has ever reached Heaven Rank! Bring him back, extract his blood, and pour it into your bodies to see if you can awaken your bloodline.”
“If this does not work, I’ll rear this person and choose a woman for him to mate with. Let him sire a child and see if his bloodline can be awakened…”
Upon hearing his words, Mu Gu frowned slightly and said, “High Priest, I’m afraid it won’t be easy. Our Fire Barbarians Tribe has suffered heavy losses in this battle. That Wu Kunhu’s combat strength is formidable, and Emperor Zhou has sent an army to guard the borders. I’m afraid it won’t be a good idea to provoke him! Moreover, according to Su Wen, he’s the son of Prime Minister of Great Zhou, Su Changqing. If we touch him…” “Hmph! That bastard Su Changqing!” At the mention of Su Changqing, the High Priest seemed to recall something bad and could not help but curse. The High Priest said in a low voice, “No matter what, we have to bring this person back. Since we can’t send an army there, we have to think of a way… even if we have to pay a price. Aren’t there two generals who capitulated to our side? Bring them here! I want to question them!” Not long after, the Xu father and son were brought over.
The High Priest smiled. “Welcome to the Fire Barbarians. From now on, we’re all family.” The current Xu Qiao was powerful and was very useful to the Fire Barbarians.
No matter what he thought, the High Priest still gave the Xu father and son sufficient respect.
The Fire Barbarian King Mu Gu also smiled, “In the future, if Brother Xu has any questions in my Fire Barbarian Tribe, feel free to come find me.”
There was great respect shown. For a moment, Xu Qiao was touched.
They quickly exchanged pleasantries. Immediately after, the High Priest smiled and said, “I called you guys here mainly to find out about that Su Wen. What exactly is going on? He can actually activate our Fire Tribe’s Golden Crow Sacred Flame. This is extremely important to our Fire Tribe. Please tell us what you know about Su Wen.” Without another word, Xu Qiao told him everything he knew about Su Wen. After listening to Xu Qiao’s narration, the high priest frowned and said, “This Su Wen, according to what you said, he was originally a hedonistic son of rich parents. He only started to rise after he was betrothed. Furthermore, you’ve never seen him activate the Golden Crow Sacred Flame before?”
Xu Qiao said in a deep voice, “That’s right! That Su Wen and my son once fought for more than two hours in the Immortals’ Abode Pavilion of the Great Zhou Capital. My son was eventually defeated. Later on, my son Longcheng mentioned this matter and only said that he used a Yang attribute cultivation technique. However, Su Wen didn’t activate the Golden Crow Sacred Flame at that time!” Mu Gu said doubtfully, “In that case, perhaps Su Wen wasn’t born with the ability to activate the Golden Crow Sacred Flame.” Upon hearing this, Tamu Chuan could not take it anymore. This was information that he had specially ‘paid attention and dug out’! He had already lost the battle, how could he lose this bit of credit?
However, he didn’t dare to refute Mu Gu, so he looked at Xu Qiao and said, “That might not be the case. After all, this isn’t a life and death battle. When Su Wen fought with Jiuji Zhen that day, he didn’t use any holy flames either. Perhaps your son wasn’t a match for him in the first place and he was just playing with your son?”
In fact, the information he had obtained might not be wrong. But when Xu Qiao heard this, he got really angry! Thinking about Xu Longcheng, the whole affair only started because Su Wen peed on him that day. From then on, the conflict between the Xu family and the Su family broke out! No! It was the beginning of the Su family’s plot against the Xu family!
And now he was being looked down upon. Xu Qiao’s face turned ashen. “My third son is a prodigy. It’s already not easy for Su Wen to win, so how could he even play around?” Tamu Chuan curled his lips and looked at Xu Longze behind him. “I think your son is just average!”
Xu Longze was enraged. “My third brother’s talent far surpasses mine!”
Seeing that Tamu Chuan wanted to argue further, the High Priest coldly interjected, “Enough!” Everyone shut their mouths. Xu Qiao secretly glanced at Tamu Chuan. The two of them had fought many times before, and it could be said to be fifty-fifty! But now, Xu Qiao was even more displeased with him.
The High Priest said in a deep voice, “It doesn’t matter if he is born to be able to use it or had mastered it. No matter what, he can now activate the Golden Crow Sacred Flame. Even if it’s just this, we have to think of a way to bring it back to our Fire Barbarians Tribe!”
“According to the information we have, that fellow is a lecherous fellow who squanders money like dirt. He’s very protective of his own people, and his combat ability is also very strong.” The High Priest rubbed his brows. Even after he finished speaking, he felt a headache coming on. It was especially difficult for the Barbarians to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, their figures would attract attention wherever they went.
Although it was not impossible, the Fire Barbarians definitely could not do it with their abilities.
Then… they had to pay the price! “All of you, think carefully about what to do. In a few days, we will discuss a solution!” As everyone dispersed, Xu Qiao sighed. At the end of the day, they were in the Barbarians’ territory, so they might not be interested in what he had to offer.
However, there was no turning back now. Su Wen did not know that his Holy Flames had already become the target for the Fire Berserkers.
At this moment, he begin his lucky draw. [Ding-dong. The host has received a secret technique: Generals’ Qi Body Refining!) [For a general, refining one’s body with Qi also helps to guide the fate energy of their soldiers. By condensing the Qi around one’s body, one can also strengthen their cultivation speed.]
Su Wen raised his brows in recognition and surprise!
This was good stuff.
Especially the people around him. Yan Luoying and Wu Lie were both generals, as well as his good-for-nothing elder brother. Wouldn’t it be nice to give them each a copy?
As for himself… never mind. He did not have any plans to be a general yet. Furthermore, he did not know how effective this thing was.
Furthermore, Su Wen was very satisfied with the rate at which his cultivation base was improving
(Ding-dong. The host has received the secret technique, Dragon Qi Infusion!]
(When a practitioner becomes the ruler of a country, or a descendant of the royal family, or a leader of a clan, they can obtain the destiny of the people. The stronger the power of the nation, the stronger the destiny. They can transform it into Dragon Qi and wrap it around themselves, which can strengthen their cultivation speed.] Su Wen looked at the thing in his hand with a twisted expression.
This thing… unless he wanted to rebel, it was practically useless.
As for offering it to the royal family?
Hehe, it was not within the scope of consideration.
Who knew what effect this thing had? If it was really effective, maybe the emperor would choose to silence him to bury the secret. Wouldn’t that be a loss? He had drawn two secret techniques in one go.
Although they were all non-tiered items and he did not know how effective they were, Su Wen was still very satisfied. After thinking for a moment, Su Wen took out the Army Formation he obtained way back.
After drawing it the last time, Su Wen threw it away without even looking at the effects of the formation.
After benefitting from the Army Formation used by Wu Kunhu, he wanted to see what effect this thing had. After all, Yan Luoying had joined the army, so she might be able to use it.
[Breaking Ranks Army Formation: The goal of breaking through the enemy’s ranks is to create a scenario where death is the only escape!) (TL Note: This is the Trap Formation that he drew back in the first few chapters. Changing its name to Breaking Ranks Formation instead as the original term was not accurate.) [Number limit: 800.]
[Fixed effect: The commander’s prestige will increase and he will force soldiers to battle. His physique will increase by 30% and his True Qi will increase by 15%. The soldiers will have an inherent effect of being deathly loyal. Deathly Loyal: The soldiers will be more loyal to the commander. The longer they follow the commander, the more loyal they will be to the commander until they are willing to die for him.]
(Advancement effect: Shout the command of the army! All soldiers in the forced faction will be able to advance with indomitable will. They will disregard their own life and death and will fight to the death without retreating. True Qi strength increases by 25%, Strength and Speed increases by 20%. Lasts for six hours.]
After reading it, Su Wen touched his chin.
This thing seemed a little ordinary…
After all, Su Wen had experienced Wu Kunhu’s army formation before.
He felt that while this Breaking Ranks Army Formation was effective in charging forward, it was not beneficial for long battles. The benefits were that it would increase one’s combat strength and also contained a fearless buff.
But the number limit was too small!
In Su Wen’s opinion, this thing’s biggest weakness was that there were too few people.
If Su Wen didn’t remember wrongly, when Wu Kunhu led his army to charge forward, the entire army was enveloped by his formation!
But Breaking Ranks Army Formation only allowed 800 people!
However, after some thought, Su Wen understood that the greatest advantage of this trap was its fixed effect!
Once the effect of loyalty was formed, the 800 people would be fully obedient to their leader.
To put it bluntly, even the current Wu Kunhu or the Xu Qiao from back then, despite their authority and prestige… If they were to rebel the soldiers would follow them because of their prestige and do something they were unwilling to do.
But it was hard to say where their thoughts truly lay.
Why did Xu Qiao’s army collapse so quickly?
This was because many people were forced to follow Xu Qiao. However, they did not know what to do and simply blindly followed him.
Once there was a chance, escaping and surrendering could be done at any time.
However, if they were deathly loyal, they wouldn’t even frown even if their heads were chopped off!
Coupled with the acceleration effect of training, one would soon be able to train a group of loyal soldiers who were extremely strong and loyal!
My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield
Chapter 188 Teaching Martial Arts Is Very Reasonable, Right?
In the military camp, Yan Luoying had a solemn expression. She was observing the training of her soldiers. Although this world placed greater importance on the strengthening of individual strength, there was still a need for mutual understanding on the battlefield.
Su Wen’s reckless killing methods were not suitable for ordinary soldiers.
If a normal soldier were to play like Su Wen, they would die countless times. “General Yan! Lord Su seeks an audience outside the camp…” Yan Luoying’s expression did not change when she heard the soldier’s report. “Got it. Uncle Zhou, keep an eye on them for a bit, I’ll go take a look.”
Yan Luoying turned around and left. However, she subconsciously quickened her pace and smiled.
In the tent, Su Wen saw Yan Luoying and smiled. “General Yan… Long time no see.” Yan Luoying rolled her eyes. She could tell that Su Wen was teasing her and put on a sulky voice, “Can’t you see I’m busy with military matters? Do you think it’s so easy to lead troops into battle? It was naturally much easier to command my father’s troops in the past. Now, I have to train these soldiers myself.”
Su Wen then took out two secret manuals that he had copied One was the Breaking Ranks Army Formation, while the other was Generals’ Qi Body Refining technique.
“Take these two items and cultivate them.” Su Wen smiled.
Yan Luoying picked up the secret manual curiously. The moment she read it, she was immediately hooked. “This… Breaking Ranks Army Formation is so powerful. Does it actually have such an effect?” Su Wen had already clearly marked the effects of the formations and secret techniques on the manual.
“And this Generals’ Qi Body Refining is too important to me!”
Yan Luoying’s eyes were filled with gratitude. The coldness in front of the soldiers had long disappeared. She said with a gentle expression, “My husband must have paid a huge price for this secret manual, right? These are all things that can become the inheritance treasures of a
sect.”
Su Wen nodded seriously. “That’s right, I paid a huge price for this. You have to make it up to
me.”
As he spoke, he moved closer to Yan Luoying and put his arms around her waist. “Husband…” Yan Luoying blushed and said in a low voice,” This is the military camp, and it’s in broad daylight…” Su Wen said fiercely, “Then you can’t let your husband become a living eunuch, right? He stays in the military camp every day and doesn’t go back. Your husband is very angry! The consequences are very serious! So I want to punish you!” Yan Luoying showed her fear cooperatively. “W-what are you doing?” “Hey! Demoness! Eat my rod!” With her hand on the tent for support, the iron rod entered the sea.
She did not dare to let out any moans, even as tears splashed onto her clothes. For this punishment, Su Wen had put in a lot of effort, leaving Yan Luoying in a half dead state. After a while, Su Wen came out of Yan Luoying’s tent. Then, he set off for Wu Lie and Su Cheng’s tents. Regarding this two… there were no side stories.
However, he only gave them the Generals’ Qi Body Refining technique and not the Breaking Ranks Army Formation. After all, humans were selfish. Yan Luoying was in charge of military affairs now. If she wanted to climb up, she naturally had to have some achievements. This Breaking Ranks Army Formation would be one of her trump cards. If more people knew it, it would not be worth much. Hence, Su Wen held back for now. Of course, he also took the chance to mock his stupid brother. On the main street of the city… Su Wen led Wu Muyu out for a stroll.
After all, there were not many things that he needed to do.
At this moment, the city felt like it had just survived a calamity.
It seemed a little lonely.
Suddenly, there was a commotion. Su Wen saw a tall child being chased and beaten by a group of short children!
“Damn barbarian! Die!”
“Kill him, kill him!”
“All barbarians deserve to die!” The children were holding sticks and stones, and their blows were not light at all.
They continued chasing the tall child.
The tall child did not dare to fight back. He held his head and ran quickly. He rushed past Su Wen. However, a passerby suddenly stretched out his leg and tripped the tall child. The children rushed forward and started punching and kicking the tall child. Su Wen frowned and shouted, “Stop!” His shout gave the children a shock! The child in the lead glanced at Su Wen and saw that he was dressed in luxurious clothes. He blustered, “What do you want?” “I want to be your father! Scram!” Su Wen shouted with a murderous aura. The children felt as if they had fallen into an icehouse.
Fortunately, Su Wen withdrew his murderous intent immediately!
The children turned and ran in fright. Su Wen pulled the tall child up, sizing him from top to toe. Some parts of the tall child were already bleeding. Su Wen sighed. “Why didn’t you retaliate?” “If I retaliate, I’ll break something,” the tall child said honestly.
“Barbarian?”
He shook his head. “I’m not a barbarian. I’m from Great Zhou. That’s what my mother taught me.” “And your father?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen my father before!”
“Thank you for saving me. Tell me where you live, and I’ll pick some wild herbs for you.”
He was a simple child.
Upon hearing this youth’s words, Su Wen sighed faintly and waved his hand. He let him leave.
He could understand why the children here hated the barbarians so much.
But at the same time, people were born innocent.
It was unknown why this tall child’s mother chose to give birth to him.
Was it voluntary? Sometimes, it was not a fate they could choose.
But he had to bear the hostility of others. In that case, were the children who hit others bad?
‘Not necessarily. Perhaps their families died at the hands of the barbarians. Perhaps they were robbed of everything.’ Their hatred towards the barbarians was inevitable.
It was necessary to vent their anger. Su Wen didn’t want to know the details, nor did he have the time to do so.
This injustice and hostility filled every inch of the Southern Border.
It could even be said that this could not be changed by relying on one’s own strength. Even a god or a saint could not change everything. Of course, there might be a simple way to eliminate the existence of one side once their power reaches a certain level. Otherwise, they could only rely on time to slowly work together. “Brother Su… are you unhappy?” Wu Muyu noticed the change in Su Wen’s mood. Su Wen shook his head slightly and said, “It’s hard to say whether I’m happy or not. It’s just that sometimes, I feel very powerless. If everything in this world is black or white, how simple would it be?” The two of them left.
Very soon, Emperor Zhou sent someone to take over Wu Kunhu’s position. He was transferred back to the capital to continue his duties. Su Wen and the rest of the nobility also returned to the capital under orders. But the army stayed in the Southern Border, ready to fight at any time. Other than Su Wen’s Secret Shadow Guards, only a few thousand soldiers followed them back to the capital. Although it was not considered little, it was not much compared to the grandiose manner when they came.
Wu Kunhu sat on his horse with Wu Lie beside him.
They walked at the front of the group. “This Su Wen is really used to being a young master. He even has to take a carriage for such official business!” Wu Kunhu said with dissatisfaction. Wu Lie smiled and said, “That’s how he is. It’s not the first time you’re meeting him.” Wu Kunhu then turned towards Wu Lie and sneered, “I still have something to ask you! Why did my ten-thousand-year-old ginseng turn into a cucumber?” “How… how would I know…” Wu Lie’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.
Wu Kunhu gritted his teeth and said, “I say, kid, you’re really quite generous… generous in taking your father’s things! How did I give birth to someone like you…” Wu Lie smiled apologetically. “Su Wen is quite generous. He gave me a secret technique!” “Secret technique?” Wu Kunhu narrowed his eyes. He had the deepest impression of Su Wen’s skills this time round.
Wu Lie told Wu Kunhu about the effect of the General’s Qi Body Refining Method. Then, he said, “This technique is extremely effective. I’ve only cultivated for a few days and already feel that my cultivation speed has increased. However, I can’t give you this technique. After all, it was taught by someone else. It’s not good to spread it around…” Wu Kunhu laughed coldly. “Do you think I care about that? Keep it for yourself!” However, his evaluation of Su Wen increased. After all, that’s what friends do.
Helping was mutually beneficial. Wu Lie gave Su Wen something good, so how could Su Wen only take advantage of him? If this went on for too long, cracks would definitely appear in their relationship.
Suddenly, Wu Kunhu frowned.
“Why are there two people in that kid’s carriage?” With Wu Kunhu’s strength, he could clearly sense the number of people inside Su Wen’s carriage. “Haha… haha… this… I think it might be a woman he found… After all, you know Su Wen’s character…” Wu Lie tried his best to help Su Wen smooth things over. Wu Kunhu rubbed his chin in thought. “Is that so?”
Wu Lie’s expression was a little unnatural, but he didn’t think too much about it.
Hiding a woman in the car was not something worth mentioning. Along the way… Wu Muyu did not dare to get out of the car during the entire day, for fear that Wu Kunhu would recognize her. When it finally reached nighttime… And the tents were set up… Su Wen stood beside the horse carriage and stared in Wu Kunhu’s direction.
With a knock on the carriage, Wu Muyu jumped out and entered Su Wen’s tent.
Good lord, just how practiced were these two troublemakers? After preparing dinner, Su Wen carried it into the tent.
As he was eating with Wu Muyu, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. “General Yan… our lord is currently eating…” “Do you think I don’t know that he’s eating?” Yan Luoying looked at the Secret Shadow Guard who was blocking her and said unhappily, “I’m his wife. Can’t I go in when he’s eating?” “Well…” The Secret Shadow Guard looked troubled. Yan Luoying became suspicious! Right at this moment, Su Wen emerged from his tent. Seeing Yan Luoying, he went up and smiled. “Why is Madam here?” Yan Luoying crossed her arms and held a bottle of hot sauce in her hand. She smiled and said, “I came here to send you some hot sauce, but your subordinate didn’t let me in.” Su Wen’s expression turned serious and he said solemnly to the guard, “How do you do things? You’re stopping my wife from entering too? I’m already done eating, go in and clean up, help me to keep the hot sauce too.” After saying that, he turned to look at Yan Luoying and smiled. “I’ll accompany my wife for a walk. As the saying goes, one hundred steps after a meal and one will live till ninety-nine. I just ate my fill and I feel a little bloated!” Yan Luoying sneered. “I think you’re breastfeeding?”
Although her cultivation level was not high, she was stronger than Wu Muyu. Moreover, at this close proximity, she could clearly sense that there was another person in the tent! Su Wen’s actions clearly showed that he wanted to send her away.
“Hmph!” Yan Luoying snorted. She was a little angry as she said, “I don’t object to you accepting people! But you don’t have to hide it from me. After all, I’ve never restricted you in any way. It can’t be that you don’t even allow me to enter the tent when I come, right? Even if she enters the residence in the future, won’t we address each other as sisters? Why are you acting so sneaky?” With that, she walked towards the tent!
Su Wen covered his forehead, but he couldn’t stop her. He quickly went forward and whispered, “Don’t make a fuss later!” Yan Luoying said angrily, “Am I that kind of person? How can I fight with her and embarrass you?” On the other side, Wu Lie sat beside Wu Kunhu and realized that his father had been looking at Su Wen’s tent.
He had a bad premonition and smiled. “Father, what are you looking at?” Wu Kunhu said calmly, “That Su Wen is hiding someone in the carriage. I saw Yan Luoying going over just now and wanted to watch the fun. It was so boring on the way. Come, you can watch too. It will be interesting if they fight.”
“Father, why don’t you return to your tent… and rest early… The journey has been tiring. Your son’s heart aches.” Wu Lie said in a low voice. Even saying these words made him feel disgusted. Wu Kunhu looked at his son in surprise.
Since when had he become so sensible? He was greatly comforted. He patted Wu Lie’s shoulder and said with a smile, “My son has grown up. He knows how to show concern for his father. But you brat, don’t worry for nothing. Your father’s cultivation level is at the 9th Grade Earth Rank. What does this small journey count for? Let’s watch the fun first.” Wu Lie panicked as cold sweat broke out on his forehead! ‘Don’t fight! Don’t fight! You must stay calm, brother!
He also stared intently at Su Wen’s tent as he prayed in his heart.
Su Wen and Yan Luoying had already arrived in front of the tent. Yan Luoying opened the tent flap and walked in. What greeted her was the sight of Wu Muyu’s small mouth full of food. As the latter looked up at her in surprise, Yan Luoying couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wu Muyu!” “Shh! Shh! Shh!” Su Wen quickly gestured for her to keep quiet.
However, he didn’t know that the moment this name left her mouth, Wu Kunhu had already stood up! With his 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivation, he might not have noticed it if he was not focusing on that area.
However, at this moment, he was completely focused on watching the commotion. He had long released his divine sense and was paying attention to Su Wen’s tent.
The tent was not soundproof, so he instantly heard that familiar name. In the tent, Wu Muyu swallowed the food in her mouth and said in a cute voice, “So it’s Sister Yan. Have you eaten? What a pity, there’s only two portions of food here. Sister, why don’t you go out and bring another portion in? Muyu will tidy up a place for you.” The veins on Yan Luoying’s forehead were about to pop out. However, she also knew that she definitely couldn’t let Wu Kunhu know about this. “You! When did you come!”
“Long ago… if not…” She suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
It was because a tall figure had appeared at the entrance of the tent.
Killing intent filled the air! The three people in the tent gulped audibly.
That violent aura was filling the tent at the
moment.
Wu Kunhu’s face was looking particularly sinister in the dark night. “Haha… you came a long time ago?” Wu Kunhu tightly clenched his fists. He wished he could tear down the tent with one punch. But if so… Wu Muyu’s reputation…
At that moment, Wu Lie rushed over…
When Wu Kunhu stood up just now, he already felt that something was wrong. As expected, the next second, Wu Kunhu rushed straight towards Su Wen’s tent.
In an instant, Wu Lie also rushed over to the entrance of the tent…
“What a coincidence! Sister, why are you here?” Wu Lie’s acting was a little exaggerated.
Pa!
Wu Kunhu punched him in the head without a single word!
The 6th Grade Earth Rank Wu Lie rolled his eyes and crumpled to the ground. “Good! Uncle Wu, this fist technique of yours is indeed powerful. Brother Wu hasn’t even left his original spot, yet he has already fainted! You’re indeed powerful! You’re really powerful!” Su Wen flattered. Wu Kunhu’s eyes were burning with rage as he looked at Su Wen and then at Wu Muyu. He suddenly roared out!
“Everyone, gather at the periphery of the camp. All of you are to face the North. Without my orders, do not move!”
As he spoke, he looked at the three people before him and said, “Other than the four of you!” He ‘thoughtfully’ included the fallen Wu Lie. Yan Luoying’s mind raced. She quickly said, “Uncle Wu, Muyu is here for me. She just arrived. I was about to eat with her…” Yan Luoying was quick-witted. She knew what Wu Kunhu cared about and tried to smooth things over. At this moment, the soldiers outside did not know what was going on and could only gather.
Everyone from the Secret Shadow Guard… also ran to gather! No one dared to provoke the angered Wu Kunhu.
Wu Kunhu took a deep breath and said, “From today onwards, go to Luo Ying’s tent. The two of you will stay together. Luoying, like you said, Wu Muyu is here to play with you! She just arrived today!” “Yes!” Yan Luoying quickly agreed. At this moment, Wu Lie woke up from the ground and got up. He still felt a little dizzy.
“Leave now!” Wu Kunhu looked at Yan Luoying and Wu Muyu and shouted. Wu Muyu pursed his lips and said, “I’m not leaving. Tell me clearly first. Will you blame Brother Su?”
Wu Lie interrupted, “It really has nothing to do with me!”
Pa!
Another punch greeted him! Wu Lie did not faint this time, but he was beaten to the point of covering his head and squatting on the ground! It hurt too much.
Wu Kunhu was so angry that he barked in laughter. “Why would I punish Su Wen? Right? You just came today, so Su Wen just met you. Why should I punish him?”
“Really?” Wu Muyu looked at his father’s increasingly twisted expression and could not believe it!
“It is!”
“Don’t lie to me! Otherwise, I won’t let you off!”
Wu Muyu also knew that since she was discovered by Wu Kunhu, she definitely couldn’t stay in Su Wen’s tent.
She could only be pulled away by Yan Luoying. Although she really didn’t want to live in the same tent as Yan Luoying… she had no other choice!
After the two girls left, Wu Kunhu’s killing intent intensified!
He faced Wu Lie and Su Wen with a sinister smile, “Good! Good! You two are really good! Come, I’ll personally coach you two on martial arts today. Let’s go out and practice?” Su Wen sighed before agreeing. He knew that he would not be able to settle this without getting beaten up today. No one could stop this guy now. Wu Lie cried out, “Dad! It really has nothing to do with me! I really don’t know when my little sister came!”
Wu Kunhu ignored his plea and directly lifted him up as he sneered, “Who asked you when she came? Didn’t you hear what I said just now? Your sister just came! She just came, do you understand?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Wu Lie nodded his head vigorously. Wu Kunhu was now like a ferocious beast that was suppressing his anger. He stared at Wu Lie and said, “So whether your sister comes or not has nothing to do with me teaching you two martial arts! You are my beloved son! It is very reasonable for me to teach you martial arts, isn’t it? Su Wen is also a future pillar of Great Zhou! It is also very reasonable for me to teach him martial arts, isn’t it?”
