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

Wang Ruoyu and Cao Jin entered the living room.

The three of them sat down.

Su Wen smiled and asked, “May I know why the two of you have come to visit?”

Before Cao Jin could speak, Wang Ruoyu had already opened his mouth. He winked at Su Wen before saying, “Yesterday, I heard that Young Master likes to watch people play the flute. Lord Cao is also obsessed with music, so I came here with him today to discuss the art of playing the flute with Young Master Su.”

Su Wen’s eyes widened and he couldn’t help but ask, “The three of us are going to discuss the art of playing the flute?”

Wang Ruoyu smiled. “That’s right, what’s the problem? I’ve brought my own flute here today. Please correct me later!”

“Forget it… I don’t like to watch men play the flute… and it’s even your own flute…” Su Wen shook his head.

Wang Ruoyu couldn’t help but ask, “Why is that? What’s the difference between a man blowing a flute and a woman blowing a flute? What’s wrong with blowing one’s own flute?”

This… would it be too offensive if he were to answer? Fine, Su Wen chose not to answer.

Thus, he changed the topic. Su Wen raised his teacup and smiled. “If the two of you don’t have anything else to do, I still need to rest. I’ve been a little tired recently.”

Obviously, these words were meant to send the guest off.

At this moment, Cao Jin spoke up, “Young Master Su, please wait a moment. I have another matter.”

“What is it?” Su Wen asked.

Cao Jin took out a small box from his bosom and placed it on the table. He said with a smile, “Young Noble is young and capable, and your esteemed father is a person of virtue and prestige. The reason why I’m here today is to ask Young Noble for a favor.”

“This is a secret Longevity Pill made by the Azure Dragon Sect of Yan Country. If you take this pill, your lifespan will be extended by 20 to 50 years!”

Su Wen raised his eyebrows. Lifespan was a shackle that no one could escape from.

Life, old age, illness, and death were part of human nature. In this world, only cultivators who broke through to the Heaven Rank could extend their lifespans.

This Longevity Pill could be said to be priceless to most people!

However, Su Wen also knew that although this pill was precious, each person could only take one pill.

But no matter what, these were extremely precious items.

“What do you need my help with?”

Su Wen asked.

Cao Jin smiled and said, “It’s like this, in today’s court assembly, we proposed to exchange the Beast Spirit Armor’s techniques for Fort Boulder, but your father rejected us. I hope that Young Master Su can hand this medicine over to your father so that your father can be lenient and accept this proposal. After all, this is a matter of both sides benefitting, and it can also be considered to have the way for the Great Zhou and Yan Country’s alliance.”

Su Wen understood what he meant and sneered. “So this thing isn’t for me! I don’t have any benefits? Then tell me, when can I inherit the family business if the old man lives for another 30 to 50 years? Are you trying to mess with me?”

Cao Jin was stunned. In reality, they were already discussing how to bribe Su Changqing after the assembly today.

After all, the rumor was that Su Changqing was a greedy person. Even in the Country of Yan, he had heard that Su Changqing was a famous corrupt official who had countless wealth.

However, it was a little too eye-catching for him to meet Su Changqing so casually. Hence, Cao Jin decided to start with Su Wen and used the excuse of seeking guidance to pay him a visit.

In his opinion, Su Wen was Su Changqing’s son after all. It was the same if Su Wen accepted the benefits and gave it to Su Changqing.

However, he did not expect that Su Wen would actually look down on him for not giving him any benefits.

‘Like father, like son! This Su Wen is actually so greedy! It’s just that this fellow is really short-sighted. Can’t he even think of the benefits Su Changqing will bring him if he lives for a few more years?’ Cao Jin secretly showed his contempt for him.

However, he still had a smile on his face. He took out a small box from his chest and said with a smile, “In here is an Amethyst Glazed Glass Bead that is extremely precious. Please accept this, Young Master Su.”

Su Wen opened the box and saw a crystal clear purple colored glass bead lying inside. Su Wen sighed and raised his head to look at Cao Jin. “Nothing else?”

Cao Jin was stunned. “Young Master Su, this thing is also priceless.”

“Who are you trying to fool with a glass ball? Take it back and play it yourself!” Although Su Wen did not know how to melt and make glass, this did not affect his disdain for the material.

Cao Jin glanced at Wang Ruoyu. At this moment, Wang Ruoyu took out a stack of gold bills and handed them to Su Wen. He said, “Young Master Su, how about this? I still have 100,000 gold bills here. I hope Young Master Su won’t mind.”

A smile finally appeared on Su Wen’s face. Right now, he was no longer as wealthy as before.

“Alright! Since that’s the case, I’ll definitely pass this medicinal pill to my father! Let the two countries cultivate an alliance together!”

Cao Jin cupped his hands and said, “I hope that Young Master Su can put in a good word for me to Prime Minister Su. I’ll leave the friendship of these two countries to Young Master Su!”

With that said, the two of them took their leave.

Even though Su Wen looked down on the pearl, Cao Jin did not take it with him.

Su Wen looked at the three items and a smile appeared on his face.

“Zhao Jin! Prepare the carriage! Young Master wants to enter the palace!”

That’s right, Su Wen did not want to go to the Prime Minister’s mansion but went straight to the palace.

In the palace, Emperor Zhou was currently conversing with Su Changqing.

Su Changqing said, “Your Majesty, this envoy of Yan Country seems sincere, but you must know that they are, after all, a great enemy on the north of our Zhou Country. Why would he suddenly share the manufacturing method of the Beast Spirit Armor with us? For many years, the Beast Spirit Armor has always been an important weapon of their country. Now that he has taken the initiative to share it with us, there are only two possibilities. The first is that they have an even more powerful substitute method. The second is that they have a way to counter the Beast Spirit Armor.

Although I don’t have any evidence, I believe that they will not let us take advantage of them for no reason. There must be a trick! Since Fort Boulder has already been taken over, it means that we have obtained the benefits. The Northern Region now has a support point against the Yan Country.

It can even be said that the more the other party wants to trade with me, the more it shows that there is something fishy about this matter. That is why the more we have to hold onto Fort Boulder with a death grip, only then can we grasp the initiative!”

Emperor Zhou fell into deep thought.

At this moment, someone reported, “Your Majesty, Su Wen requests an audience!”

Emperor Zhou looked at Su Changqing and smiled. “Changqing, do you want to move to side first?”

“Alright!”

Su Changqing was led to an invisible corner of the hall and stood together with the old eunuch.

When Su Wen entered, Emperor Zhou asked with a cold expression, “You brat, what are you doing here again? Have you recalled the song from last night?”

Su Wen hurriedly said, “Your Majesty! I have something to report! That ambassador of the Yan Country is plotting something! He wants to bribe me!”

Emperor Zhou said disdainfully, “They bribed you? Why would they bribe you? Did they ask you to bring them around the brothels?”

Su Wen took out the Longevity Pill, Glazed Pearl, and gold bills. “These people from the Yan Country went to my residence today and lied to me that they wanted to do an exchange of flute skills. In the end, they gave me these things and asked me to pass the Longevity Pill to my father so that he would change his attitude and support the transaction between the Yan Country and the Great Zhou!”

Emperor Zhou looked at the items in Su Wen’s hands and narrowed his eyes. All these things present were not cheap!

“Then why did you send it to me? Why didn’t you give it to your father?”

Su Wen spoke with an excited expression, “Your Majesty, ever since I was young, I’ve been determined to repay your country with loyalty and honor. I wanted to reject them righteously, but on second thought, Your Majesty is a wise ruler of the past. If you take the Longevity Pill, you’ll definitely be able to bring our Great Zhou to greater heights. This treasure was given to us by our enemies anyway, so it’s a waste not to accept it! That’s why I accepted it!”

At this point, Su Wen looked a little embarrassed and said, “However, I don’t dare to take this back home. Your Majesty, you should know that although my father would definitely not be biased for benefits, he is someone who only cares about money. If I were to take it back, he might absorb it himself. I have to be on guard against him!”
