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

Zhao Jin said to Yao Gu in a low voice, “I’m not afraid to tell you the truth. My family’s young master is a vicious and merciless person. He’s especially protective of his own people. If you really anger him, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

Yao Gu was furious and said furiously, “Meng Zhiping and I are sworn friends! How can we give up our revenge just because of a few words from you?”

With that, Yao Gu turned around and left.

Just as he finished speaking, Su Wen and Wu Lie walked out. Su Wen looked at Yao Gu’s back view as he frowned. “What’s happening? Why are you shouting? What is this I hear about revenge?”

Zhao Jin shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “Wasn’t that Meng Zhiping killed by Chu He? This is his good friend, Capital City Province’s spear instructor, a top expert with an 8th Grade Earth Rank cultivation. He was the one who came to challenge Chu He today, but he was rejected by Chu He. This fellow looks unresigned.”

Su Wen touched his chin… Unresigned?

“Doesn’t this old fellow have an official position? Send someone to the Secret Shadow Guard later and pass on my message. Get them to investigate this Yao Gu properly. I want to see what kind of person he is!” Su Wen said to Zhao Jin.

By the side, Wu Lie’s jaw dropped.

“Isn’t this you using your position to seek personal revenge? Aren’t you afraid of being criticized by others?”.

Su Wen was displeased, frowning as he replied, “What are you talking about? This person dares to come to my house in broad daylight to provoke me, so it can be seen that he is extremely arrogant. This kind of insolent person is the easiest to steal through the law. How can I not investigate properly? My duty is to supervise all officials. Just because he has a grudge with my servant, I will not investigate him to protect my own reputation? Wouldn’t that be not performing my duty due to personal affairs?”

Su Wen concluded with a strong sense of righteousness, “A loyal and righteous person like me will never tolerate even a grain of sand!”

Zhao Jin praised loudly, “Young master is noble and unquestionable! This subordinate admires you greatly!”

Su Wen patted his shoulder. “Low profile! Keep a low profile!”

By the side, Wu Lie was speechless.

At this moment, he only had one thought. “His Majesty will regret transferring Su Wen into the Secret Shadow Guard!”

Unbeknownst to him, the Emperor in question was currently holding a copy of the Secret Shadow Guard’s authorization guidelines. In the third clause, he seriously added: ‘With the possession of sufficient evidence, if the officials are found to be inclined to escape…’

After he finished writing, he raised his head in satisfaction and smiled. “There won’t be any problems this time. It’s all thanks to Su Wen that I discovered some loopholes in this clause. Now this has been made up for, it will be much more rigorous. Hurry up and print out the updated Secret Shadow Guards guidelines. The old eunuch immediately said, “Your Majesty is wise!”

Emperor Zhou shook his head and said, “I have a headache as well. This Secret Shadow Guards has to have a lot of authority, but it can’t be too big. It has to intimidate all the officials, but it can’t go out of control. Especially in the future, once there is a loophole in the authority, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

At night… Su Wen’s carriage arrived at General Wu’s residence.

Once they got off the carriage, a servant welcomed them and led Su Wen inside.

When they entered the banquet hall, only three people were present. Wu Kunhu, Wu Lie, Wu Muyu. Su Wen walked in, and Wu Kunhu laughed loudly. “Come, come, come. Nephew Su, quickly sit down. My son said that Nephew Su is coming today, so I specially instructed the kitchen to prepare some exotic delicacies.”

Su Wen asked curiously, “What sort of food is that?”

“Vicious beast meat!” Wu Kunhu said with a smile, “A few days ago, we obtained a Wind-Ripping Hou[1]. It’s quite rare, so please have a taste!”

Unexpectedly, even though he wanted to chase Su Wen out, Wu Kunhu still maintained his enthusiasm on the surface.

He even took out some precious beast meat to greet Su Wen.

When the Wind-Ripping Hou’s meat was served, the fragrance immediately assailed his nostrils.

Although Su Wen had eaten many delicacies, this was the first time he had eaten something like this.

The moment it entered his mouth, he felt a rich fragrance. It was far from what ordinary meat could compare to!

After swallowing it, it even transformed into a stream of heat, causing his limbs and bones to seem as if they were immersed in warm water, and it was extremely comfortable.

“Delicious!” He couldn’t help but praise.

Wu Lie’s mouth was full of meat, but he proudly said, “Of course it’s delicious. This is a 9th Grade Earth Rank vicious beast! My father killed it personally. This is half of it, while the other half was sent to His Majesty.”

“Another half was sent to the palace to His Majesty?” Su Wen rolled his eyes. Why not… let Old Su sell his face and see if he could get some?

Su Wen ate heartily and secretly exchanged glances with Wu Muyu.

Wu Muyu caught on, and immediately spoke in a cutesy tone, “Since Brother Su likes it, I saw that my father left some beast bones. I’ll use them to make soup for Brother Su tomorrow!”

Wu Kunhu instantly clenched his fists!

That was something he wanted to keep for himself to make wine! This girl…

He secretly glared at Wu Muyu, but obviously she did not take his warning to heart.

She was even showing him her attitude now…

“Heh heh… Nephew Su… I wonder what plans you have in the future?” Wu Kunhu didn’t dwell on this issue and directly changed the topic.

Su Wen smiled. “Of course I have to serve the country!”

Su Wen didn’t know what Wu Kunhu was trying to say, so he spoke ambiguously. Wu Juhu smiled. “Nephew Su is young, but your cultivation is already extraordinary. A good man should enter the battlefield to fight. Although the Secret Shadow Guards have quite a bit of authority, they are still part of the Dark Sector. They are unable to show their faces and can’t be conferred any titles of nobility. I wonder if Nephew is interested in leading troops?”

That was true. Even Si Tu, the Head of the Secret Shadow Guard, was only a Primary and Rank official. Although he had considerable power compared to the officials of the Royal Court, his status was still slightly lower.

In particular, the Great Zhou had explicitly stated that one could not be conferred nobility unless they achieved military merit.

Even Su Changqing, although he was now an extremely powerful official, did not have any title.

Noble titles were exclusive to military positions.

Upon hearing Wu Kunhu’s words, Su Wen smiled and said, “No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. If I have the chance to lead an army, I would definitely like to give it a try.”

Wu Kunhu smiled and said, “Although the authority of a civil official is the greatest in the Great Zhou Dynasty, military generals are still the most important when it comes to glory. If Nephew wants to lead the army, why don’t you come under my command? After all, this army isn’t like the royal court. If you take advantage of your wife, others will look down on you.”

“Huh?” Su Wen heard the hint in his words.

This meant that following General Wu would ensure that he was not riding on Yan Luoying’s coattails to succeed. In other words… Wu Muyu…

At this moment, Su Wen was engaged, so Wu Kunhu’s words could also be understood as telling him not to take advantage of Yan Luoying.

Su Wen narrowed his eyes.

Old thing, are you testing me? Although he was cursing in his heart, Su Wen still maintained a smile on his face.

He didn’t argue with Wu Kunhu either.

That was because he knew very well that it wouldn’t do him any good to infuriate Wu Kunhu.

“Uncle, you are right!” Su Wen no longer called him by his rank and immediately climbed up the ladder. “If I want to join the army in the future, I will definitely work under Uncle.”

While he said so, in his heart, he had a totally different thought. “Hehe, let this old thing lower his guard first… then… hehehe!”

In this family dinner, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Everyone ate and chatted. After eating for more than two hours, Su Wen bade farewell and left!

This time, he was really full.

However, the moment he left, the smile on Wu Kunhu’s face disappeared. He turned around and looked at Wu Muyu sternly!

“Don’t look for him again!”
