My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Novel - Chapter 245
Chapter 245: Xiang Feiyan’s Stubbornness
In front of the Nanli King’s residence…
The Third Prince had nothing left to live for. He sat on the ground with a dispirited expression.
All the soldiers and experts he brought were also dejected as they sat cross-legged on the ground.
No one dared to move because Ning Shuang was standing there.
With her hands on her hips, she looked at them coldly.
From afar, a carriage slowly approached.
Ning Shuang’s eyes lit up the moment she saw the carriage.
Finally, the carriage arrived in front of the Nanli King’s Residence.
Zhao Jin roared, “What the f*ck are you doing at the door? Can’t you see that the Nanli King’s carriage is here? Move to the side!”
Only then did the Third Prince and the others realize… that they were in the way.
They quickly got up. After a moment of chaos, Su Wen’s carriage stopped in front of the residence.
Su Wen frowned the moment he exited the carriage, before turning to Ning Shuang!
“SsssSSsS!” He sucked in a deep breath of air upon realizing what he felt was wrong.
Heaven Rank?
“Ning Shuang, how are you a Heaven Rank cultivator?”
Ning Shuang said aggrievedly, “They wanted to barge into the residence and I was in a hurry to stop them, so I broke through.”
Su Wen: “…”
That’s it?
Just based on this? Just because she was in a hurry?!
Although Su Wen knew very well that even if Ning Shuang broke through and her combat strength was definitely incomparable to his, she was still at the Heaven Rank.
He could not help but keep complaining that the world was really unfair.
However, Su Wen knew that this was how things were most of the time. Comparisons were odious to begin with.
In Ning Shuang’s heart, Su Wen was the one who handed over this residence and home to her.
It was more important than anything else, perhaps even more important than her life and death.
Hence, to her, it was a huge matter for her to allow others to barge into the residence.
“Young Master, look, they destroyed our house. This person is annoying!”
Ning Shuang began to complain to Su Wen.
Su Wen turned to look at the Third Prince and a cold smile appeared on his face.
“Third Brother Xiang, good job! You’re quite bold! You actually dare to attack my family?” Su Wen walked in front of him.
The Third Prince was about to speak, “I…”
Pa!
Zhao Jin immediately stepped forward and slapped him!
He had been with Su Wen for a long time, so he could tell that Su Wen’s was being friendly or not just by his tone.
Under such circumstances, no matter who it was, he would have to vent Su Wen’s anger first.
Even those people behind the Third Prince did not dare to move when seeing this scene.
Zhao Jin slapped him across the face and said angrily, “Did my young master ask you a question?”
The Third Prince covered his delicate face, feeling extremely wronged…
When had he ever suffered such grievances?
However, he did not dare to resist. Su Wen’s appearance meant one thing, and that was Xiang Feng was very likely to have lost!
Thus, he did not dare to resist.
He only looked at Su Wen pleadingly.
Su Wen said calmly, “Actually, I have nothing to say to you because you will die soon.”
“Su…”
Pa!
The Third Prince was just about to speak when Zhao Jin slapped him again.
“Do you f*cking not understand human language? Did my young master say that he wanted you to speak?”
The Third Prince swallowed his words.
Su Wen looked at him and his eyes gradually turned cold. He said, “Actually, I was the one who drugged you. Of course, you have also guessed it. However, I didn’t kill you because I was soft-hearted. I only hoped that you guys could restrain Zhang Yong and mess up the royal court. However, you and Old Four don’t know how to adapt to the circumstances. Old Four wants to run out, but what about you? You are playing dirty with me here. In my life, I hate two types of people the most. Firstly, it’s the guy who attacks my family. Secondly, it’s the womanly man. You schemed to rebel and your crimes are unforgivable. Men, execute him on the spot!”
Su Wen did not want to see the Third Prince’s pleading and regret.
To him, the Third Prince’s actions had crossed his bottom line.
If he dared to attack Su Wen’s family, even if Xiang Feiyan did not give the order, Su Wen would definitely kill him.
The Third Prince was furious and could not help but roar.
But just as he was about to speak, Zhao Jin had already raised his fist and punched him in the mouth!
“You dog, can’t tell that my young master doesn’t want to listen to you!”
No one dared to save the Third Prince!
Zhao Jin didn’t hold back. With a punch, several of the Third Prince’s teeth were knocked out, and his face was covered in blood.
Zhao Jin stepped forward and kicked him flat on the ground, before taking out a blade!
Su Wen said that he wanted to kill him!
Then he would do so!
Puchi! Zhao Jin slashed down with his blade.
The Third Prince’s head was chopped off.
Everyone was stunned.
Too ruthless and efficient.
The subordinates that the Third Prince brought were all shocked.
No one expected the Third Prince to not be imprisoned or interrogated, instead executed without any sort of trial.
That was a member of the royal family!
Su Wen looked at the people who had followed the Third Prince.
He said coldly, “All of you have to die! If you don’t resist, I’ll protect your family.”
This was the cruelty of the feudal dynasty. Those who rebelled had to be prepared to be killed!
In an instant, Su Wen gained a lot of Fear Emotional Value.
Su Wen did not stay at home for long.
Now that Ning Shuang had broken through to the Heaven Rank, he was even more at ease.
He directly led Zhao Jin and gathered some people, before making his way to Xiang Chun’s residence.
These were the only two princes with real power.
Xiang Chun had no idea what was going on in the capital at this moment.
Bang!
The door to his residence was kicked open.
Xiang Chun frowned and rushed out of the room, seeing Su Wen and Zhao Jin.
The Royal Guards had already filed in at this moment.
Instantly, Xiang Chun had a bad feeling.
“Yo, Brother-in-law! What brings you here?” He quickly went up to him.
Su Wen looked at him and sighed. “Don’t blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being born in the royal family.”
Xiang Chun turned pale with fright. These words didn’t sound right…
“Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law, let’s not fool around. Have you forgotten that we were drinking at the Harmonious Red House a few days ago?”
“I’ve been thinking about getting you a couple of top quality goods these past two days.”
He looked at Su Wen’s gloomy expression.
He felt like crying. “Brother-in-law, we can’t be like this.”
This was not the only situation that was happening.
In the meantime, all of the princes and princesses, be it those who were guilty and those who were not, including some of their relatives, were captured.
They were all executed!
In an instant, there was a storm of blood in the capital!
However, no one dared to stop Xiang Feiyan.
Or rather, this matter did not affect the interests of the civil officials.
Since ancient times, when the children of the royal family killed each other, the ministers rarely advised against it.
At Su Changqing’s residence.
The father and son of the Su family sat opposite each other.
Su Changqing had a calm expression as he said with a smile, “That’s more like it. For a woman that has ascended the throne, if she doesn’t get rid of all the tumors, how could she be at ease?”
Su Wen sighed. “This has implicated too many people.”
Su Changqing curled his lips in response, “If that Xiang Ding really got someone to help kill all of you one day, then you wouldn’t think like this.”
Su Wen couldn’t help but ask, “What are you saying? Are you saying that Xiang Ding can become the emperor himself?”
Su Changqing smiled and said, “Of course he can. This is something that no one can stop. So you’ll know why Wu Kunhu sealed his cultivation.”
“Because the royal families of each country have to try their best to ensure that the strongest expert in the court is of the royal bloodline. In this way, even if the throne is usurped, the bloodline will remain unchanged!”
“If Wu Kunhu stays in Great Zhou, once his cultivation is exposed, there will only be one outcome waiting for him, and that is death!”
“In reality, it’s the same in Great Chu. I can guarantee that as long as your cultivation continues to grow stronger, that Xiang Ding will definitely make a move on you.”
Su Changqing sighed. “This is something that even Xiang Feiyan can’t change. Most people are like this. They will rather choose to nip the potential danger in the bud.”
“Then what should I do now?” Su Wen frowned.
Su Changqing smiled. “What should we do? There’s nothing to do. You’re only a 1st Grade Heaven Rank cultivator, still far from that time. All you need to do is keep some more trump cards. When the day comes when you really encounter danger, you’ll be able to counterattack.”
Su Wen looked at his father and said suspiciously, “Then with your personality, you shouldn’t only have one trump card, right? Tell me quickly, do you have other tricks up your sleeve? If Xiang Ding attacks, I’ll be counting on you, Father.”
Su Changqing was furious. “Are you crazy? You want your father, a weak scholar, to carry you against the Xiang Family’s old ancestor? What fart use is my trump card against him? If there’s anything the next time, you can go up yourself. I’ll definitely be the first to run!”
At this point, he changed the topic and smiled. “Besides, didn’t I tell you before? It’ll be fine as long as you survive until Xiang Ding dies. Although he’s at the higher Grades of Heaven Rank and has a longer lifespan than ordinary people, it doesn’t mean that he can live forever.
He’ll probably only get a few decades more to his life. Don’t be anxious about everything. There’s never only one method.”
Su Wen sighed. To him, this feeling was not good.
Su Wen was pondering over Su Changqing’s words when he suddenly heard his father say, “Right now, Ning Shuang has broken through to the Heaven Rank. This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.”
Su Wen raised his head in confusion.
Su Changqing said indifferently, “Heaven Rank experts are different from ordinary people. Their level of existence has already surpassed that of ordinary people. Generally speaking, it’s very difficult for Heaven Rank experts to give birth to children when they sleep with ordinary people.
Although it’s not completely impossible, most of the time, it’s very difficult to succeed. Those who have children usually have children before reaching Heaven Rank.”
“And then?” Su Wen narrowed his eyes.
Su Changqing said in a low voice, “But if the other party is also a Heaven Rank expert, then this difficulty won’t exist. On the other hand, there are some people who were obsessed with martial dao when they were young and focused on cultivating to ascend to the Heaven Rank. But as they got older, their martial path suffered a setback, making it difficult for them to advance. They would think about finding a partner and giving birth to children.”
“However, it’s undeniable that it’s easier for men compared to women to produce experts on the path of martial arts. Therefore, there are fewer women among the Heaven Rank experts. Ning Shuang has broken through to the Heaven Rank, so you have to be careful that someone will start to have designs on her!”
Su Wen narrowed his eyes as killing intent exuded from him.
Obviously, Ning Shuang was one of his reverse scales. If anyone dared to touch Ning Shuang, Su Wen would definitely not agree to it.
In the capital of Great Chu, there was a storm of blood.
Xiang Feiyan, who was completely infuriated, had decided to show off her extremely sharp methods.
All those with the royal bloodline were imprisoned and executed by her.
There were tens of thousands of people involved.
Throughout the entire process, the Heaven Rank experts in the palace didn’t interfere.
Finally… Xiang Ding returned.
He quickly learned of everything that had happened in the capital.
He really did not expect Xiang Feiyan to do something so crazy!
He immediately went to see Xiang Feiyan.
The two met again, as Xiang Feiyan sat on the dragon throne.
Xiang Ding looked at her and said in a deep voice, “How can you slaughter your own bloodline like this?”
His voice was filled with anger!
At this point, he could also tell that Xiang Feiyan was not someone who valued relationships.
Xiang Feiyan said coldly, “Fourth Great-grandfather, these people conspired to rebel. You’re not here, and I can’t mobilize any Heaven Rank experts. Just in case, I can only use vicious methods to eliminate future troubles!”
Xiang Feiyan’s words were filled with thorns.
She was not afraid of Xiang Ding, just like how she did not show fear when she gave the order.
Right now, in the entire Chu Country, it could be said that she was the only descendant of the Royal Clan.
Unless Xiang Ding became the emperor himself, or he could kill her and let Xiang Sheng ascend the throne.
However, Xiang Feiyan believed that Xiang Ding would not do that.
Because Xiang Ding’s thoughts were more on Martial Dao!
If he really wanted to be the emperor, this position would have long been his.
As for Xiang Sheng, could he become the emperor?
As long as Xiang Ding was not old and muddled, he would not do this.
Thus, Xiang Feiyan was fearless.
As the saying goes, he who is down need fear no fall.
This was the reasoning behind her bravado.
She was less respectful and more hostile towards Xiang Ding.
As Xiang Ding looked at the woman in front of him, he could not help but sigh.
He naturally heard the dissatisfaction and hint within Xiang Feiyan’s words.
He was dissatisfied that she, the emperor, could not order a Heaven Rank expert around, and that Xiang Ding’s attitude was ambiguous.
Perhaps this was the decisiveness an Emperor needed.
Xiang Feiyan looked at Xiang Ding and said, “Fourth Great-Grandfather, I am the Emperor! According to the rules of history, after I ascend to the throne, Heaven Rank experts will have to obey my orders. This is a rule from ancient times. Those people don’t even listen to my words, so how can we talk about the stability of the Great Chu? How can we talk about my Great Chu opening up its borders and expanding its territory?
If Fourth Great-Grandfather doesn’t like that I’m a woman, I can give up the throne and let you choose someone to take the throne. There’s no need to act so openly but secretly go against my words. This is the greatest harm to my Great Chu!”
Xiang Ding smiled bitterly. Select? Who? Was there still a choice?
Xiang Ding knew that he had never been a smart decision-maker.
Just like this time, his attitude was the biggest cause of the conflict.
But he really did not expect Xiang Feiyan to be so bold and ruthless.
Even though he was extremely displeased, what could he do if he did not suppress his anger?
“Where is Su Wen?” Ding asked.
“He’s injured. He’s recuperating in his residence!” Xiang Feiyan said coldly. “Xiang Feng planned a rebellion, and not a single Heaven Rank expert has taken action. It’s all thanks to Nanli King fighting to the death that I was able to keep my life!”
Xiang Ding sighed faintly to himself yet again.
He did not expect that Xiang Feng would be killed by Su Wen!
It was extremely difficult for Heaven Rankers to fight across realms.
He secretly marveled at Su Wen’s combat strength.
Even though he was severely injured, he was still considered extremely outstanding.
This was a debate destined to fail.
Xiang Feiyan then looked at Xiang Ding and asked coldly, “Fourth Great-Grandfather, how’s the rebellion on your side?”
“Misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding!” Xiang Ding said in a deep voice, “It’s just that someone wants to drag the Mu Family down and kill the Prefecture Governor. They want to use the Mu Family’s name to gather the aristocratic families. The Mu Family has already killed the criminal!”
When Xiang Feiyan heard this news, she knew that it was definitely fake.
She looked at Xiang Ding and said, “Does Ancestor believe this? What I want is… to destroy the Mu Family!”
Xiang Ding glanced at Xiang Feiyan. What a domineering tone!
He knew… he couldn’t refuse anymore.
Otherwise, both sides would completely fall out right here and now.
At Su Wen’s residence, Su Wen handed Ning Shuang a Qi Concealment Belt.
He had exchanged this from the system space.
“After you bring it with you, you can freely adjust your cultivation level. Unless necessary, don’t expose your Heaven Rank cultivation.” Su Wen knew that there were definitely many people in the capital who knew that Ning Shuang had broken through.
However, he still gave Ning Shuang a Qi Concealment Belt.
In the palace, Xiang Ding returned.
The Heaven Rank experts all gathered together again.
“This time, none of us made a move. I’m afraid Her Majesty is unhappy.” One of them spoke.
Xiang Ding shook his head helplessly and said, “This is normal. After all, we violated the rules of our ancestors.”
“It’s a pity that Xiang Feng couldn’t defeat Su Wen!”
“How was the battle between the two of them?” Xiang Ding asked.
Everyone shook their heads and said, “We don’t know. According to what you said, we couldn’t interfere in this matter. These two flew out a hundred miles away to fight. We were afraid that it would cause a misunderstanding, so we didn’t follow them. We can only sense the collision of the Qis between the two sides, and it’s difficult to know the exact situation!”
Xiang Ding breathed out heavily.
At that moment, another person said, “One more thing. When chaos broke out in the city, Su Wen’s maidservant broke through to the Heaven Rank!”
“Eh?”
Xiang Ding was caught unawares.
There was such a thing?
He turned around and looked at the monitoring array of the Great Chu Country.
He found nothing unusual in it.
“I could still see it just now, but now, it has been hidden, I’m afraid they possess a Qi concealment treasure!”
Xiang Ding closed his eyes wearily, “Got it!”
With that, he turned to the crowd and casually said, “His Majesty has decreed that we have to exterminate the Mu Clan of the Hu Prefecture. In order to prevent any accidents, I won’t go, but instead will be sending the four of you. Remember, you must kill the Heaven Rank expert first. Don’t let him escape!”
“Yes!”
At this moment, in the Mu Clan…
They were also constantly paying attention to the situation in the capital.
When the news of the capital’s wanton purge of the royal bloodline spread, the Mu family head knew that something big was about to happen.
He immediately got someone to bring Zhang Shunzhi in front of him!
“Son of a b*tch, this is your rotten idea!” He gritted his teeth and said, “That Xiang Feiyan is completely unharmed! Didn’t we agree to act and transfer Xiang Ding out of the capital so that Xiang Feng can ascend the throne?”
Zhang Shunzhi was confused and hurriedly asked, “What’s going on?”
The head of the Mu Family, Mu Binsen, went up and kicked him!
“F*ck your father! How dare you still ask!”
He punched and kicked Zhang Shunzhi. He hated this fellow to the core at this moment.
His attacks were extremely heavy. Not long after, Zhang Shunzhi was beaten until he was on the verge of death.
“Men, drag him to the backyard to feed the dogs!”
Mu Binsen’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
After dragging him away, he quickly summoned the Mu Clan’s Heaven Rank experts!
“Ancestors, what should we do now? That Xiang Feiyan will definitely not let our Mu family off.”
In comparison, the reason why the Mu Clan dared to do this was because they had some confidence.
Their Mu Clan had two Heaven Rank experts!
After hearing his words, one of the Mu Family’s old ancestors’ expressions changed!
“Run! Hurry up and run! If it’s really as you said, we can’t stay in Chu anymore. If that Xiang Feiyan can be so ruthless to the Royal Family of the capital, why would she spare us? This time, that Xiang Ding will definitely not go against Xiang Feiyan’s wishes! The only thing we can do now is to quickly escape to Yan Country! Use the power of Yan Country to protect our Mu Family!”
It had to be said that this old fellow still had some brains.
“How about this? Quickly bring the core disciples of the clan along and prepare some gold and silver. Leave all those collateral descendants behind! We’ll set off now!”
Mu Binsen knew that this was the proverbial lizard sacrificing its tail to escape!
If a collateral descendant died, then too bad.
It was to provide cover for the core family’s retreat!
