My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield

Chapter 114: The Journey To The West Is Beautiful

Su Changqing said to Su Wen, “Can’t you tell? His Majesty wants to nurture you as amartial artist. The last time, he gave you medicinal pills and cultivation techniques. This time, he let you follow the Martial Inspectorate into the Li Prefecture to attack martial arts sects. There will be no lack of fights and battles. If a martial artist doesn’t experience life and death, it will be hard for them to become a peerless expert!”

“I’m not thinking of being an expert…” Su Wen said with a wry smile.

He knew himself well. He had the system. Fighting? Why should he even fight?

Although a life and death battle would indeed increase one’s combat power and one’s comprehension of martial arts, Su Wen was not in a hurry.

He was only 19 years old, yet he was already an 8th Stage Star Rank. Why would he need battles to expedite his growth?

He wanted to just take his own sweet time!

Su Changqing looked at his son and said earnestly, “There are some things that cannot be helped. Since His Majesty has spoken, there is no room for you to resist. Be more careful when you go to Li Prefecture.”

“Old Su, you’re not placing enough emphasis on this!” Su Wen suddenly said, leaving Su Changqing confused!

“How am I not particular about this?”

Su Wen looked resentful. “Why are you so cowardly? Why don’t you dare to fight with His Majesty? Why can’t you stand up for your son?”

“Heh heh heh!”

Su Changqing was already used to Su Wen’s vicious words. He only sneered and could not be bothered with him.

“Why didn’t His Majesty give a decree? Why did he ask you to tell me?” Su Wen suddenly thought of this question. “If he doesn’t give the decree, I’ll just pretend that I don’t know. Let’s bring them there first!”

Su Changqing gave him a side glance and said, “This kind of thing naturally cannot be decreed. However, His Majesty told you through me to give you some face. If you don’t listen to him this time, then next time, he will naturally have a way to make you go into dangerous situations alone. After all, he is the emperor.”

Su Wen stroked his chin and suddenly thought of something. He raised his head and said, “Father, I beat up an old Daoist priest from Taihao Palace some time ago. I think his name is Qing Xuanzi. If I leave the capital and this old fellow takes revenge on me, won’t I be dead for sure?”

Su Changqing said with disdain, “Don’t worry, that old fellow isn’t so bold. Besides, that bowl of yours didn’t smash onto him, so it can’t be considered as a great enmity.”

Su Wen was shocked. “You even know about this?”

“The waters of the capital run deeper than you think. Your father, I, has come this far, and I don’t even know how many eyes are watching me. If I don’t keep my guard up at all times, I might fall into a ditch somewhere. I’ve already sent people to help you deal with the old Daoist priest of the Taihao Palace. He won’t pester Yiyi anymore, but then again, you have to be careful. Don’t really fall into someone’s trap,” Su Changqing stated in a deep voice.

With that parting note, Su Changqing left.

Su Wen returned to the backyard. Zhao Jin and Chu He definitely wouldn’t be able to leave with him this time.

Thus, he gathered Ning Shuang, Xie Yiyi, and Cui Yumian.

The three women knew that he was going out, and they were reluctant to let him go.

“Yiyi, did your mother reply?” Su Wen asked.

Xie Yiyi shook her head and said, “I just sent out the news, so I don’t know when she will reply to me.”

Su Wen looked at the three of them and said with a smile, “I won’t be at home for a period of time, so if there’s any matters, the three of you can discuss the matters instead. If you can’t make up your mind on a trivial matter, Ning Shuang will make the decision. For major problems that you can’t make up your mind on, Ning Shuang, send someone to ask my father!”

“Okay!” Ning Shuang obediently nodded.

Su Wen knew that there had to be someone who would make the final decisions. Otherwise, it would be easy for chaos to break out at the critical moment.

Although Ning Shuang did not have a title as a concubine, she was the most suitable person for the moment.

Xie Yiyi had only been in the residence for a short period of time, so she did not know much about the capital. Cui Yumian had a soft personality, and only Ning Shuang was the most reliable in Su Wen’s opinion. She grew up in the Prime Minister’s Residence with him, and had a deep understanding of the capital’s affairs. If there was really something going on, she could be trusted to make a decision.

Seeing that the three girls were a little sad, Su Wen smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will be back soon for this business trip. Tonight, Young Master will tell you the story of Journey to the West!”

“Journey to the West?” The three girls were confused.

“That’s right. This is an especially good story. It’s very interesting!”

At night, a voice came from Su Wen’s room.

“Hey! Demoness! You actually have three heads and six arms! Eat my rod!”

Hmm… seeing that Journey to the West was such a good story. It should be very interesting to ‘narrate’ it out.

…

The next day, Su Wen arrived at the Martial Inspectorate.

The moment he entered, he bumped into Fatty Ruan!

“Brother Su! You’ve had a good year, haven’t you?” Fatty Ruan smiled as he waved.

Su Wen’s face was slightly dazed and he only came back to his senses when he heard the voice. He smiled and said, “So it’s Old Ruan. I’m living quite well, it’s just that I met with some evil spirits last night.”

“Evil spirits? Is it a demon?”

“Different. Those that I met were ‘s*men drinkers’.

(TL Note: The chinese pinyin for evil spirits/demoness is pronounced as yao(3) jing(1), however the author writes the pinyin as yao(4) jing(1) which basically means ‘wanting s*men’. Nasty author is nasty.)

Fatty Ruan was at a loss.

Young Master Su’s words always sounded a little strange.

Su Wen hugged Fatty Ruan’s shoulder and smiled as he changed the topic. “Old Ruan, how do you think we should go on this mission?”

Hearing something he understood, Ruan Ze laughed as well. The fat on his face squeezed together, and his eyes narrowed into slits. He said, “We’ve mobilized a total of three Golden Saber Decons this time, and each of them has a clear target. Our target is the Moon Worship Sect.”

Su Wen’s eyes narrowed slightly. “The Moon Worship Sect also participated in the rebellion?”

Ruan Ze smiled. “I don’t know. Our Martial Inspectorate is just following orders. If His Majesty has orders, we’ll do it.”

Su Wen sighed. This was the characteristic of a feudal dynasty.

Evidence was not important at times.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the party’s encampment. Everyone had already gathered at this time.

A trace of resentment flashed past Xue Wanjun’s eyes as he looked at Su Wen!

Xue Meng was sent to the northern border to serve as a soldier for five years. No one knew if he would be dead or alive by then.

The Xue family’s gold mine was also taken away by Su Wen.

The Xue family’s business plummeted because of Su Wen.

It could be said that the once wealthy Xue family had completely fallen!

Everything was because of Su Wen.

As a member of the Xue family, how could he not hate Su Wen?

“You’re late!” Xue Wanjun spoke in a stiff tone.

“Orh.”

Su Wen responded without giving an explanation.

Xue Wanjun unconsciously clenched his fists.

He finally suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth. “Let’s go!”

These people each rode a fine horse, galloping out of the capital!

This was also Su Wen’s first time leaving the capital in 19 years.

However, just as they left through the Eastern gate, someone chased after them.

“Young Master Su Wen! Young Master Su Wen, please wait a moment!” A servant rushed over and said, “My young miss, Wu Muyu, is here to send Young Master Su Wen off. Young Master Su, please wait a moment.”

Su Wen turned to look at the group and said, “You guys leave first. I’ll be there shortly.”

Xue Wanjun glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and then he didn’t say a word as he led the group away on his horse. He didn’t dare to obstruct Wu Kunhu’s daughter!

The Xue family could no longer withstand any storm.

Su Wen waited on the spot. About 15 minutes later, Wu Muyu’s carriage arrived.

The curtain was lifted and Wu Muyu got out of the car. When she saw Su Wen, the tears fell from the petite girl’s face.

“Brother Su, you must be extremely careful on your way to Li Prefecture. Muyu will worry about you in the capital. If you encounter any difficulties in Li Prefecture, take this letter and look for my father. Don’t force yourself.” Wu Muyu took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Su Wen.

Su Wen patted Wu Muyu’s head as he smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”
