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?”
