My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Novel - Chapter 102
Chapter 102: Old Daoist
Su Wen threw the matter of the Sacred Debate Banquet to the back of his mind and continued eating his fried vermicelli.
“Hehehe!” Suddenly, laughter rang out.
Su Wen turned around and saw a plainly dressed Daoist priest standing beside him.
Just as the Daoist priest appeared, Chu He’s hand was already on his sword.
“Young master, I think you will meet with a bloody calamity. Do you want me to read your fortune?” the Daoist priest asked with a smile.
Zhao Jin stood up and took a step forward to block Su Wen.
“Young Master, please leave first. This fellow isn’t simple!” Zhao Jin said in a low voice.
He didn’t know if the old Daoist had any ill intentions, but he and Chu He knew that the movement technique the old Daoist had used just now was not something an ordinary person could possess. He was definitely an expert. Zhao Jin would not allow Su Wen to be in danger.
Su Wen waved his hand and said with a smile, “Don’t be so nervous. I believe that no one will dare to brazenly kill me in the capital of Great Zhou!”
The old Daoist priest smiled. “Of course. You are the son of the prime minister and an official of the Imperial Court. If we kill you, the Imperial Court will not let us off.”
“Is there something you would like to talk about?”
“Indeed!” The old Daoist sat on the table with a smile and shouted, “Give me a bowl of fried vermicelli!”
He then looked at Su Wen and asked, “May I ask if Young Master Su has taken in a concubine recently?”
Su Wen raised his brows. “So what?”
The old Taoist said in a deep voice, “I’m not afraid to speak directly to the Young Master, I’m Taihao Palace’s Elder Tao Xuan. This time, I’m here to track down the Demonic Music Sect’s Vice Sect Master, the Thousand Illusions Demoness Xie Bingrui. This person has changed her name to Xie Dajia and has been wandering among the influential officials of various countries for a long time. She has used her Thousand Illusions Music to bewitch the minds of all in the court. This time, when she arrived at the capital, I immediately rushed over after receiving the news! Unfortunately, she had already left by then.”
Su Wen glanced at him and asked, “And then? What does that have to do with me?”
The old Daoist continued with a solemn expression, “I heard that Miss Yiyi was the one who danced at the the recital Xie Dajia organized the other time. Young Master also knew her from that time, right?”
“Yes!” Su Wen did not deny it.
The old daoist slapped his thigh and said, “That’s right! That woman must be related to Xie Bingrui! Maybe she was the one who planted her next to Young Master! Your father is the current prime minister, so as long as she controls Young Master, she will be able to profit from it! That must be the case!” The old daoist analyzed,” This person from the Devil Sect is cruel and strange, she might use some evil method to murder Young Master!”
Su Wen looked at the old Daoist with interest and asked with a smile, “Then what should we do?”
The old Daoist priest said, “Of course, you have to hand that woman to me. I will interrogate her. Don’t worry, Young Master. With my methods, I will definitely pry open her mouth!”
Pa!
At that moment, Su Wen did something no one expected. He grabbed the bowl of vermicelli on the table and smashed it on the old Daoist priest’s head!
Unfortunately, the old Daoist priest’s layer of protective Qi was extremely strong.
The bowl ended up shattering into shards instead.
However, this did not stop Su Wen from flying into a rage. He pointed at the old Daoist priest and scolded, “You shameless old man, why would you use my woman for interrogation? Who the f*ck are you?”
The old Daoist priest suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with killing intent!
Su Wen was not afraid at all. He sneered, “Taihao Palace, right? I remember it’s an orthodox sect within the Great Zhou. As long as you dare to attack, I guarantee that your Taihao Palace will be exterminated tomorrow! And you won’t be able to leave the capital!”
The two of them stared down each other!
Zhao Jin and Chu He were both prepared to attack. The passers-by had already hidden to the side.
Su Wen casually threw down a silver ingot and said, “Old thing, let me tell you, I don’t care if you chase after that Thousand Illusion Demoness or not. You can chase after her however you want, and you can attack her however you want. But remember this, if you dare to have any ideas about my people, I will tear down your Taihao Palace!”
With that, Su Wen turned around and left.
Zhao Jin and Chu He faced the old Daoist and didn’t show any signs of carelessness. They were constantly on guard against the old Daoist’s attacks and slowly retreated.
The old Taoist stood still for a while before turning his head to ask, “Boss, is the vermicelli ready? This silver should be enough for my bowl, right? We’re together.”
After returning to the car, Chu He said, “Young Master, you shouldn’t have acted so rashly just now. If I’m not wrong, that old fellow is Qing Xuanzi. He’s very powerful. If he really wants to kill you, the two of us might not be able to stop him!”
Before Su Wen could say anything, Zhao Jin sent a slap in his direction!
“Are you teaching the young master how to do things?” Zhao Jin rebuked angrily. “Who are you to interrupt what the young master is doing? We only have one mission, and that is to protect the young master! If that old fellow dares to attack, can he even touch a single hair on the young master’s body without first stepping over my body?”
Chu He didn’t retaliate after being slapped by him. After all, Zhao Jin had become a big brother like figure to him. He had brought Chu He to see the ‘world’. For someone he was indebted to, he was naturally restrained in his actions.
However, he was still unconvinced and said, “You are indulging him without any bottom line. If he really attacked today and injured Young Master, what would happen?”
At this moment, Su Wen smiled and said, “Stop arguing!”
“That old man won’t do anything,” he explained. “Why do you think he came looking for me? Now that he knows that Yiyi is in my residence, he can easily kidnap Yiyi and interrogate that Xie Bingrui. The only reason he came looking for me is probably because he doesn’t dare to do anything. Just like he said, my father is the Prime Minister, and I’m the an official in the Royal Court. If he acts rashly, there’ll definitely be revenge! That’s something he doesn’t want to accept! If that’s the case, why should I be afraid of him? Besides, if he goes all out in the royal capital, it’ll definitely cause a huge commotion. We have an Heaven Rank expert in the capital, so I don’t believe he can escape unscathed.”
“That’s why I was certain that he wouldn’t dare to attack.”
In the end, Su Wen smiled and said, “Furthermore, with your skills, why aren’t the two of you able to exchange a few moves with him? My movement technique has recently reached Lv6 and I’m extremely fast!”
Although the two of them couldn’t understand some of Su Wen’s words, they could roughly understand what he meant.
“I was wrong!” Chu He said.
Zhao Jin laughed smugly. “See? I told you not to teach the young master how to do things. Do you know your mistake?”
Chu He said honestly, “I understand!”
“I’ll bring you to see more of the new world tonight…”
“Alright!”
Su Wen rolled his eyes and couldn’t be bothered with them.
Upon entering the house, Su Wen saw Ning Shuang who came out to greet them.
Ningshuang whispered, “Yiyi went out in the morning… and brought a maidservant to Cloud Gazing Tower.”
Su Wen frowned and said, “I understand. Just keep an eye on her.”
He rubbed his chin and pondered.
He had already guessed that the Xie Bingrui the old Daoist priest was referring to was Xie Dajia from the very beginning.
When the old Daoist priest appeared, she had already left. Thus, she should have left after meeting Yiyi in the morning.
What did she tell her?
Su Wen was pondering when someone suddenly came to report.
“Young Master, there are a few people outside the door. They said that the envoys of the Yan Country, Cao Jin and Wang Ruoyu, wish to meet you!”
Su Wen scratched his head. He did not expect this.
Why were these two meeting him?
