The door opened and sunlight shone in. A figure appeared at the door. Xue Wanjun had personally brought Martial Inspectorate’s people in! “Execute them all!”
The cold voice announced the end of all theses people.
Su Wen frowned. “Lord Xue, can I ask a few questions first?”
Xue Wanjun glanced at him and said coldly, “You don’t have that right!”
Their eyes met. This time, Xue Wanjun was extremely unyielding.
“Get out! You’re not needed for the execution mission.”
Xue Wanjun spoke in a low tone.
Su Wen turned around to look at Hong Sanqian. His eyes were filled with despair.
In front of the Great Zhou Authority, the life and death of an 8th Grade Earth Rank powerhouse could be decided with a single word.
Su Wen walked up the stairs wordlessly with Fu An following behind him.
As he walked out, the sunlight was somewhat blinding. Behind him, he heard screams and cursing.
Fu An suddenly said, “Some things are better not to get involved.”
Su Wen narrowed his eyes. He knew what Fu An meant.
The matters of the Li Prefecture had great implications. However, many things could be inferred when one was involved in this entire affair.
Fu An definitely knew something.
“Will you tell His Majesty about your experience in the Li Prefecture?” Su Wen suddenly asked.
After a moment of silence, Fu An said, “Whatever His Majesty asks me, I will answer.”
Su Wen shook his head and smiled. This answer was just as he had expected. In the next few days, the Martial Inspectorate had completely wiped out all of Moon Worship Sect’s branches in the Li Prefecture.
However, Xue Wanjun didn’t give Su Wen any assignments.
After the mission was completed, Xue Wanjun immediately organized people to return to the capital and prepare to report the mission to the court!
Su Wen was among them.
The team was about to set off when suddenly, a horse galloped over.
“Wait, I’ll leave with you guys!” Su Wen focused his gaze and saw that it was Wu Lie.
He rode his horse to Su Wen’s side and said with a smile, “It just so happens that we also need to move our division. Traveling with the military is very boring, so I’ll go back with you.” Su Wen glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. Why did this guy sound like he was very familiar with himself?
However, Su Wen did not rebut him. Instead, he started calculating. ‘Hmm… I’ll put up with him for now. After all, I still have to rely on this brat to get me to eat at his place. Who knows, I might even become his brother-in-law in the future. In addition, Wu Kunhu is a little fierce… If I can get myself a
spy…
“Haha, Brother Wu is too kind.” Su Wen laughed. The team set off, and the two chatted as they walked.
After chatting for a while, Wu Lie shifted the topic to Yan Luoying.
He sighed and said, “Su Wen, I’ve never liked you in the past. After this incident, I apologize to you. I promise you that I won’t look for Yan Luoying again. You have to cherish her. She’s a good girl…”
“Hol’ up! What do you mean?” Su Wen looked at Wu Lie.
He knew that this boor liked Yan Luoying, so why did he suddenly decide to let him have her?
Wu Lie said in a low voice, “I said, I won’t have any improper thoughts about Yan Luoying. You must treat her well in the future!”
Su Wen instantly flared up. “Are you f*cking biting the hand that fed you? Do you not want me to eat at your place anymore?”
Wu Lie said matter-of-factly, “Of course not. You have an engagement with Yan Luoying. How can you go to my house to eat with my sister?”
“You didn’t say that the other day!”
Wu Lie explained, “That day, I was still thinking that you and my sister would be together. I just happened to have a chance to snatch your love away from you. Naturally, I can do that. Now that I no longer have any thoughts about Yan Luoying, how can you be together with my sister? The eldest daughter of the Wu family has no reason to be someone’s unofficial wife!”
This guy was rather open about his thoughts…
“Hehe… but I don’t like Yan Luoying!” Su Wen thought of Muyu and chuckled involuntarily. “How is she better than your younger sister?” Wu Lie was unconvinced. “Nonsense! In terms of talent, looks, and personality, how can my sister compare to Yan Luoying?”
Su Wen sneered. “Don’t forget! I have an IOU that you wrote for me!”
Wu Lie also sneered and said, “IOU? What use is it? Are you going to use it to and let His Majesty judge it?”
“I will make a copy of the letter and spread it throughout the capital. I will make your Wu family infamous! I will let the entire capital know that you, Wu Lie, betrayed your sister because of a thousand taels of silver.”
Wu Lie was dumbfounded!
He pointed at Su Wen and said, “You… How can you be like this! Don’t you want your pride?! If this gets out, I’ll be embarrassed. Won’t you be ashamed as well?!”
Su Wen burst into laughter. “Haha, everyone in the capital knows how shameless I am. Who are you to fight with me?”
Wu Lie was rendered speechless. This was the first time he had encountered such a person.
He decided to be reasonable. “I’m telling you, Yan Luoying is much better than my sister… She’s well-versed in the art of war…”
“Little sister Muyu is very obedient.”
“That’s because she has no personality. Yan Luoying’s martial arts are also outstanding…” “Little sister Muyu cooks well…”
“Doesn’t your family have a chef? Which chef isn’t better than her? Speaking of Yan Luoying, she’s ruthless and extremely daring…”
“That’s a virtue? Compared to that, Little sister Muyu looks so cute when she pouts…”
“… Isn’t it disgusting?”
Su Wen was helpless. “Do you look down on your sister that much?”
Wu Lie shook his head. “Not really. The main point is who she is compared to. Yan Luoying is valiant and heroic. How can that little girl compare?”
Su Wen looked at him and stroked his chin. He smiled and said, “You like valiant and heroic types? I have a pill here. After you eat it, I guarantee that many valiant and heroic people will like you. How about it?”
Wu Lie was surprised. “There’s such a divine object?”
Seeing that he was really interested, Su Wen hurriedly said, “I’m just kidding!”
The pill he was talking about was that Sex Change Pill. He was very curious about what Wu Lie would become if he ate that pill, hehe…
However, in order to avoid being torn apart by Wu Kunhu, Su Wen gave up on this idea.
The group slowly advanced. Along the way, they entered the cities to rest and reorganize. Soon, they arrived back at Yong County.
Before they entered the city, Su Wen saw a group of people welcoming them.
It was not out of Su Wen’s expectations. After the mission was completed, there was no longer any need for the Martial Inspectorate to avoid the local authorities.
With the help of the authorities, it would be much more convenient for hundreds of people to live and eat.
Su Wen started to grin to himself. When Lu Qingcai saw him later, his expression would definitely be very interesting
The team was getting closer and closer to the city gate.
Finally, they arrived at the city gate. Su Wen swept his gaze around, but did not see Lu Qingcai.
A man with yellow teeth stepped forward and bowed. “Greetings, my lords. I am the assistant of County Magistrate Lu of Yong County. County Magistrate Lu had a sudden illness the night before and passed away without treatment. I am here to welcome all of you as the temporary County Magistrate.” Su Wen looked at the assistant that had a flattering smile plastered on his face. He clenched his fists unwittingly.
His heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea. Lu Qingcai was one of the important clues he was preparing to use to report to the Zhou Emperor. Dead? Just like that?
That greedy official who wasn’t afraid of death just died quietly like that?
Sudden illness?
Su Wen did not believe it one bit.
Why had he been murdered?
As his thoughts spun, Su Wen suddenly had a realization.
Could it be… because he had seen Lu Qingcai negotiate with those sect members?
If that was the case, then that meant that during this period of time when he returned to Martial Inspectorate, the journey he made had already been leaked.
The Martial Inspectorate was also not clean either!
