My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield-Chapter 239 - Go Back Into the Grave
Chapter 239: Go Back Into the Grave
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Emperor Zhou could not be more enraged!
Looking at the court officials who had been beaten up, he was really angry!
Wasn’t this the same as slapping his face?
Wu Qiuhan lay on the stretcher. He was the first, but not the last.
The ministers who followed closely behind… made Emperor Zhou’s face tremble.
Emperor Zhou did not lose his temper as he looked at the injured ministers. He only showed grief and self-reproach.
“It’s my incompetence that has implicated all my beloved ministers! This Su family brat is extremely deranged! I was blind back then! I even thought he was my Great Zhou rising talent…”
Other than the first sentence being fake, Emperor Zhou’s words came from the bottom of his heart.
No matter what, he really regretted it.
No matter how one put it, how much love he once had for Su Wen had turned into pain and anger.
From the looks of it now, his doting love back then was all fed to the dogs…
Looking at the pained expression of the Zhou Emperor…
Wu Qiuhan struggled to comfort him. “Your Majesty, don’t blame yourself. This isn’t your fault. It’s all because the Su father and son were too cunning and deceived you totally. Although I found some clues, I didn’t expect these two to be so bad…”
Well, from his point of view, there was nothing wrong with his words.
However, Emperor Zhou felt awkward hearing this. Didn’t this mean that he was blind?
“Bring all the ministers down and let them rest well!” Emperor Zhou still could not flare up.
The moment everyone dispersed…
In the main hall, Emperor Zhou smashed everything he could lay his hands on!
Finally… he felt a little better.
“That little bastard, and Su Changqing. I trusted them wholeheartedly, yet they dare treat me like this! He reached the Heaven Rank at such a young age! Without my guidance, could he have done it?!”
Emperor Zhou gritted his teeth and roared.
The old eunuch was also helpless… who would dare to respond at this moment?
“Go, get the Spiritual Master Residence to speed up! Speed up the monitoring method! We can’t let that brat mess around!”
Emperor Zhou angrily sat back on the dragon couch.
It had been many days since he last went to the inner palace to visit his harem as well.
What could he even do in this state?
In Yan Country, Zhao Rui was feeling a little lost.
It was fine when Chu He was around, but now that he was gone, he was left alone. He had written to Su Wen, but he didn’t get a reply back.
He was indeed very happy to be a boss and eat and play every day…
However, he just felt a little uneasy.
For example, if a person suddenly gave you 10,000 yuan a day but didn’t want you to do anything in return…
That’s not very safe… right? But one would still take it, and then continuously worry about the repercussions after.
Even if he had to slap himself a little to make people happy, at least he would know that this money was not given for nothing…
Unfortunately, Su Wen’s attention was no longer on this side.
In Chu Country, autumn had begun, and scholars from all over Great Chu rushed to the capital.
On the other side, Yan Ze finally moved.
He launched several probing attacks!
Three skirmishes, three victories!
In these three battles, Yan Luoying’s team performed very well.
It had to be said that Yan Luoying was much more talented in military command than Su Cheng and Wu Lie.
Her soldiers were extremely agile and possessed a sort of spiritual aura.
In addition, the newly formed battalion had already shown its power. In these three battles, she would basically always focus on attacking.
“A great victory in the Eastern Region! A great victory in the Eastern Region! General Yan Ze led the army to defeat the enemy’s main force and killed more than 30,000 people! Yan Luoying’s surprise attack achieved the first credit!”
The messenger on the warhorse began to shout as soon as it entered the capital.
He kept shouting.
Typically, reports of good news were like this. It served to excite the citizens of the country.
Indeed, when they heard this report, the commoners revealed smiles.
On the other side, in the capital of Ji Luo Country, White Emperor City.
The messenger warhorse urgently galloped past without stopping
The surrounding citizens started to discuss…
“This doesn’t look like a tip-off.”
“The border army was defeated again, right?”
“The generals that the Chu Country sent out this time are really powerful.”
Compared to the Chu Country, the morale of Ji Luo Country was naturally low.
They were not a large country. If they were forced to start the Heaven Rank war, and their resources were insufficient, the destruction of their country would be imminent.
Therefore, the Ji Luo Royal Family valued the outcome of every battle.
As the warhorse ran straight without stopping to the Royal Palace…
It passed by Su Changqing, who was currently drinking and chatting happily with a woman in a restaurant.
The woman looked at Su Changqing with her beautiful eyes and said with a smile, “Young Master Su is a great talent, you actually accurately predicted the news of the border’s defeat.”
Su Changqing smiled and said, “This is nothing. I can still predict what the Royal Court will do next!”
“What would they do?” the woman asked curiously.
“Clear the wilderness, reinforce the walls, and defend according to the city!” Su Changqing smiled and said, “Although this is the stupidest method, it is also the most reliable method. It can prevent others from launching surprise attacks and will pull the battlefield back into a competition of strength.”
The woman smiled and said, “Young Master Su, don’t you want to become an official in the court? If you want to enter the court, I can introduce you.”
Su Changqing smiled and said, “I am an idle person by nature, only willing to indulge myself for a lifetime. The struggle in the royal court is not what I want…”
As he spoke, a carefree aura spread out.
He picked up the wine cup in front of him and downed it in one gulp. He looked at the woman and said with a smile, “Miss Bai, it’s fate that we met, but our short-lasting relationship has passed. I’m about to leave…”
Old Su planned to leave after eating his fill of this woman…
Bai Zhi looked at Su Changqing. She did not expect Su Changqing to say such words to her today.
As a daughter of the royal family, she met Su Changqing by chance.
The two of them chatted happily, so she didn’t hesitate to give herself to Su Changqing. It was precisely because she admired Su Changqing’s talent that she did so, but she didn’t expect him to have no intention of staying.
She raised her brows and shook her head. “Young Master Su, are you leaving just like that? Are you going to ignore Bai Zhi?
Su Changqing smiled and said, “Our fate has ended, so I naturally have to leave…”
Bai Zhi looked at Su Changqing and said angrily, “Have you never thought of staying with me forever?”
Su Changqing shook his head and said, “Miss Bai, I told you long ago that I won’t be staying in Ji Luo for long. How can we stay together forever?”
“You can take me away!” Bai Zhi insisted.
“This… is not good…” Old Su might love fooling around, but he had no intention of bringing her into his residence.
“Then why are you so close to me?”
Su Changqing said aggrievedly, “I thought you were thinking the same thing… Otherwise, with no transaction as well as no lifetime bond with each other, why would you do so? That night, it was also you who took the initiative to drink with me…”
“You… you b*st*rd!” Bai Zhi couldn’t help but curse.
“Yes! I’m a b*st*rd! Miss, farewell!” Su Changqing prepared to leave.
In reality, Su Changqing was very helpless. He was clearly not the one who took the initiative. He had also told her that he would not stay in Ji Luo for long and had no intention of getting married. Why did she make himself look like a heartless man?
Old Su stood up and was about to leave when the woman reached out to grab him.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed past and casually slapped Bai Zhi away.
“Don’t hurt her.”
Su Changqing only calmly responded.
After all, the two of them still had a relationship, although it wasn’t very pleasant in the end…
Old Su went downstairs and saw Gongsun Shi and Luo Ning waiting for him.
Gongsun Shi ridiculed, “What do you think? I told you not to have anything to do with this kind of virtuous woman, but you didn’t listen.”
Su Changqing smiled and said, “Humans make mistakes, just like how horses can lose their horseshoes. If one often walks by the river, how can they not wet their shoes? It’s nothing to occasionally bump into a couple of weirdos.”
“In addition, she wasn’t untainted to begin with. I had also made myself clear. Since she’s willing, I naturally won’t reject her. As for wanting to pull me into the water later, that’s just thinking too much. Senior, don’t you think that’s reasonable?”
“Hehehe…” Gongsun Zhi sneered at his feeble attempt.
Just as they were speaking, Bai Zhi rushed out and hugged Su Changqing. She said gently, “Young Master Su, accompany me for another day.”
When she put it this way, Su Changqing also hesitated.
At that moment, a loud shout was heard.
“Alright, you adulterous couple! How dare you make me a cuckold! I’ll definitely settle scores with you two adulterous people today!”
“Harh?”
Su Changqing watched as a man rushed over.
He was at a loss!
Su Changqing had no idea that this Miss Bai was already married… and she just said that she wanted to stay with him forever?
Bai Zhi’s expression changed drastically when she saw this man. She suddenly ran over and said coquettishly, “Husband, this person forced me!”
Su Changqing: “…”
This woman’s cheapness had already exceeded Old Su’s expectations.
“Winter is coming! Senior, run!” Su Changqing shouted.
The man in black picked Su Changqing up and activated his movement technique, sprinting away madly.
Luo Ning and Gongsun Shi followed closely behind.
The guards’ 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivation and higher far surpassed that man’s…
Not long after, they shook him off.
Gongsun Shi smiled and said, “Why didn’t you let your subordinate make a move? That person is only in the 2nd Grade. Any one of your two subordinates can defeat that person, so why do you have to be in such a sorry state?”
Old Su sighed and said, “I can’t bear to see him like this. This brother of mine probably has been cursed by his eight generations to have married Miss Bai Zhi. Furthermore, it’s one thing for his wife to have an affair, but I’ve already taken advantage of her. If I still hurt them, I’m too inhumane.”
At this point, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully, “I already guessed that she was from the royal family, but I didn’t expect this woman’s acting skills to be so good. I didn’t even see that she was lying to me. I was really fooled by her when she said that she was a widow.”
Gongsun Shi shook his head and said, “I’m afraid I don’t know how many times she’s used it. It’s probably already second nature!”
Old Su flipped a little boat in the ditch, but it was not a big deal.
The four of them rushed out of the city.
His team was already waiting for him there.
The two of them boarded the carriage, and the convoy set off.
Su Changqing was already very familiar with Gongsun Shi, and he also had some understanding of Gongsun Shi’s identity.
He said with a smile, “Senior Gongsun, in the end, no one in the world can escape from fame and fortune. You don’t want to see people die, but there will still be people dying constantly. As long as there are people, there will be conflicts. This will never change.”
Gongsun Shi shook his head and sighed. “But ordinary people shouldn’t have died in such a situation. Be it you sacrificing them alive, or a Heaven Rank cultivator recklessly killing them, that won’t do. This time, I was tricked to accompany you on this journey. Seeing that you’re not a Heaven Rank cultivator, I’ll spare you this once. No matter what the next time, if you dare do such a thing again, I’ll kill you!”
Su Changqing didn’t mind and shook his head. “Senior, I, Su Changqing, have committed a great sin. Even though I die, I have no regrets. However, this world is like this to begin with. If Senior does not want any more pointless deaths, why don’t you just unify the world?”
Gongsun Shi shook his head and said, “You don’t have to be so eccentric. If you don’t fight, how can you continuously produce experts? I understand such a simple principle, but I still hope that you can leave a trace of kindness for the commoners.”
As he spoke, his gaze turned distant as he continued, “I still have something on. Once we reach the borders of the Chu Country, let’s part ways!”
Su Changqing didn’t insist and said with a smile, “That’s fine too. However, I see that Senior seems to like truffles very much. I’ll get Luo Ning to pack some for you later.”
“Alright!”
Gongsun Shi did not refuse.
In his long life, meeting an interesting person like Su Changqing could be considered a good experience.
He looked towards the far north.
Slowly, his gaze became even sharper.
In the following period of time, just as Su Changqing had expected, Ji Luo Country adopted a strategy of defending the city.
This way, the impact of the Chu Country’s attacks would be greatly reduced.
However, the cities they occupied were already considered not bad.
Xiang Feiyan also took the opportunity to promote the generals.
Furthermore, she directly handed over the local authority to Yan Ze!
This way, Yan Ze would have the right to recruit more soldiers and expand his military strength.
As for Su Changqing’s carriage, it had also entered the Great Chu’s territory at this point.
Old Su was very happy. He was finally going home.
He had been on this trip for more than half a year.
To be honest, he really missed his family.
“I wonder how long it has been since I last saw them. There are also a few wives and concubines at home. They must have missed me, right? They must be very happy to see me here. There’s also my favorite plum wine heated by Dong Xue…”
Su Changqing stood at the front of the car and sighed.
“From today onwards, call me Old Master.” Su Changqing instructed.
At this moment, his temperament became much more stable.
In the capital of Great Chu…
The examinations ended smoothly. To Su Yu, not only did he gain political achievements, he also established his reputation and made friends with some of the people present.
It was a great boon for him.
During this period of time, Su Wen would either cultivate, or write in the newspapers every day. His days were also peaceful.
Occasionally, he would go back and create trouble for Emperor Zhou.
He was gradually getting used to the days without Su Changqing.
However, humans had to have thoughts.
In the east of the city, a mausoleum was being built.
Although there was no coffin inside, the words written on it were: Tomb of my father, Su Changqing.
This was the grave Su Wen built for Su Changqing.
This grave was built according to the standards of a prince. It had only been started when Su Wen returned to Great Chu, and had only been recently completed.
“Father, this is the first time your son has been so generous to you. In the past, you were the one who fixed our house. This time, I have to build a decent place for you to live.”
Su Wen stood in front of the tomb and muttered to himself.
Similarly… There were also the Su Family members all present.
Tears streamed down Su Nuannuan’s face as she whispered, “Third Brother, I miss Daddy.”
Su Wen patted her head and said, “I miss him too. Then burn more paper money for him so that Father can live better down there.”
Su Nuannuan nodded seriously.
They began to burn the hell banknotes. This was also an ancient tradition mirroring his old world, one that conveyed their sorrows to their lost loved ones.
Everyone started to light up the papers.
Su Wen reminisced about his past with Old Su and the hatred in his heart intensified.
Just as he was wallowing in this sorrow and resentment…
Suddenly, Su Nuannuan exclaimed, “Daddy is here to take the money!”
“Harh?”
Su Wen suddenly raised his head.
In the distance, a convoy slowly approached. Su Changqing was riding a tall horse.
He had never seen the capital of Great Chu before, so he specially came out to take a look…
However, to the Su Family… this was indeed an extremely shocking matter.
Tears streamed down Su Wen’s mother’s face. “Master… Did you miss us?”
Su Yu’s mother also shed tears. “Old Master is definitely missing us.”
The other wives also cried and wailed!
Su Yu muttered, “Father… has shown himself!”
‘Show my ass!’ Su Wen cursed in his heart. He could already tell that something was wrong.
He saw someone familiar in the crowd. Wasn’t that Luo Ning?
And the man in black who was guarding his father.
He remembered very clearly that when they fled the Great Zhou Dynasty, these two were not in the team at all.
At that time, he did not ask much.
Furthermore, he could tell that Su Changqing’s appearance seemed to have become much younger.
Even if Su Changqing was really showing himself from the underworld, there was no need to bring the entire team, right?
And he came from so far away?
At this moment, Luo Ning also noticed Su Wen and the others.
“Master, did you inform Young Master and the others to come and welcome us?” Luo Ning asked curiously.
Su Changqing shook his head. “No, they don’t seem to be welcoming us. Look, aren’t they clearly visiting a grave?”
The man in black reacted.
“Master, they’re all crying. They must be praying to the grave. From the looks of it, it should probably be your grave, right?”
“F*ck! What bad luck!” Su Changqing cursed.
It seemed a little inauspicious for him to attend his burial ceremony as soon as he returned.
Luo Ning could tell as well. He laughed loudly and said, “It must be. Look at this grave. It’s so big! With such a strong aura, it must be the Old Master’s grave!”
The man in black shook his head and said, “That shouldn’t be the case. Wouldn’t it be easy to attract grave robbers? I don’t know how many funerary objects Young Master threw in. If he threw too many, it would be a huge loss.”
Just as they were discussing…
Su Wen moved.
His feet left the ground and he flew straight over!
Luo Ning was shocked. “Third Young Master is at the Heaven Rank!”
The man in black: “Awesome!”
Su Wen landed in front of the convoy.
Everyone stopped as he approached.
Luo Ning smiled and greeted, “Third Young Master!”
The man in black followed. “Third Young Master!”
Su Wen’s gaze swept past the two of them before turning to Su Changqing.
“Who are you?” Su Wen asked coldly.
Su Changqing sneered and said, “I’m your father!”
“But you don’t look much older than me!” Su Wen gritted his teeth.
“So what? I’m your father!”
“Evidence!”
It was no wonder that Su Wen did not dare to believe it. After all, even if Luo Ning and the man in black followed him, how did Su Changqing survive under such circumstances?
How did he become so young?
All of this was suspicious. What if he was an imposter?
“You have a birthmark on your left butt. Does this count?” Su Changqing asked.
“Yes!”
“You stole my money and went to the casino when you were six. Does this count?”
“Also yes!”
“You’re twelve years old when you first went to a brothel. You even took my jade pendant and offered it up, does that count?”
“Yes!”
“What other evidence do you need?”
“What did you say to me before you died!”
At this point, Su Wen still could not believe it. Perhaps Su Changqing had told such things to Luo Ning and the man in black when he was still alive.
They might have conspired to deceive him!
However, Luo Ning and the man in black would definitely not know what he said before he died.
“I told you to take good care of the Su family!”
Su Wen was extremely excited. He did not expect Old Su to really return.
“Father! How did you survive?”
“Let’s talk when we get back!” Su Changqing said calmly.
Right at this moment, everyone from the Su Clan rushed over as well. Su Changqing revealed a smile on his face.
However, it quickly turned into confusion. “Are you guys gathered for my burial ceremony? It seems like there are a few people missing?”
Su Wen’s body froze!
