Ye Qingfeng snorted coldly: “Clan Master Xu, if you want to provoke the relationship between me and my fellow martial artists then you should at least find a reliable reason. Do you even believe what you say?”

Xu Wei stood up slowly and walked back and forth in the courtyard, looking at the guests who came to the wedding banquet as if watching a joke. He said: “Three thousand soldiers from Qingyang County are making their way to the Menghu Mountain to suppress the bandits. Do you all still think Xu is being slanderous?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

There was a sudden commotion in the hall. After all, the Crown Prince’s notoriety had spread far and wide. Even though it had been almost two years since the Crown Prince had killed, no one could guarantee that the Crown Prince would always remain normal. If this time the Crown Prince was really going to kill them on a whim, it was not entirely impossible. Not to mention that these martial arts people had never seen eye to eye with the imperial court and had always provided obstacles for the court.

A middle-aged man walked forward and asked Xu Wei: “What you said is true?”

Xu Wei stared at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: “Whether it is true or not, you can find out yourself. Unless you think I can call over the Qingyang County government’s troops to put up a show for me?”

In half suspicion and half belief, Ye Haolin sent out spies down the mountain to investigate.

Ye Qingfeng continued speaking to Xu Wei: “You just want to provoke our fellow martial artists to oppose the imperial court. Do you think everyone is a fool, Clan Master Xu? That we are up to you to play with however you like?”

Xu Wei smiled and said, “Oh? You sound like you have a guilty conscience. Do you think that no one in the world knows that you are in cahoots with the Crown Prince and intends to entrap our fellow martial artists? I didn’t expect that a traitor like you would appear in Xuefeng Mountain Villa. What an unfilial son, Villa Master Ye.”

The previous middle-aged man looked at Ye Qingfeng suspiciously, and asked Ye Haolin, “What is going on, Villa Master Ye? Originally, it was rumored that Second Eldest Ye Gongzi and the Crown Prince had a very close relationship. We didn’t take it seriously but now shouldn’t you give us a reasonable explanation?”

Ye Haolin naturally did not believe that his son would do such a crazy thing, but he could not guarantee that the Crown Prince would not do something like this though. However, in the current situation he could not directly ask Su Mu in front of everyone. That would be the same as admitting to the accusations and moreover, it might even anger the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince slaughtered all the people present regardless of whatever, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself even if he had a thousand mouths.

Ye Haolin had no choice but to deny: “It’s just a rumor, I must ask Clan Master Xie to be at ease.”

Xu Wei immediately laughed and said, “Hahahaha…..Villa Master Ye is a really loving father! Actually unwilling to even distinguish between right and wrong.”

Su Mu looked boredly at this group of people chattering, shook the folding fan in his hand and walked out of the crowd, saying: “Clan Master Xu is really idle indeed. Your Baigui Clan kills innocents and commits a lot of evil. The righteous martial artists have always been intolerant of you. So why are you so kindly worried today for your fellow martial artists?”

A trace of lust flashed in Xu Wei’s eyes, staring at Su Mu’s beautiful face he said: “Little brother, the waters of jianghu are deep, how can one easily see through the depths.”

Su Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled as he said, “I am a person with extraordinary talents, and I can tell who is a scumbag at a glance. For example, you are a real and utter scumbag, Clan Master Xu.”

“You…..” Xu Wei flushed red in anger and glared at Su Mu fiercely. He said: “Little boy, you dare to act impertinent in front of Ben Zuo, capture him for me!”

“Yes.” The warrior behind him immediately drew out his sword and stabbed it towards Su Mu.

Ye Qingfeng’s figure moved and he immediately disappeared in place. In an instant, the few warriors who had just pulled out their swords were unable to move any longer. In the blink of an eye, Ye Qingfeng returned to Su Mu’s side and said with an unkind expression: “This place is not your Baigui Clan’s territory, Clan Master Xu. The people here are not ones you can provoke either. If you know what’s good for you then I suggest you piss off.”

Suddenly, while the atmosphere became even more strained, a Jinglin disciple covered in blood rushed in and fell in front of Qin Wanli and Ye Haolin with a “thump”. He said with all his might: “Government soldiers…..attacking…..” But before he could finish speaking, he took his last breath.

Seeing the panicked expressions of everyone in the wedding hall, Xu Wei was secretly happy but expressed regret on the surface: “Xu came here to inform everyone but it’s a pity no one would believe it. Now that the government troops have come and attacked the mountain, Villa Master Ye should not have anything to say, yes?”

Ye Haolin looked up: “What does it matter to me?”

Xu Wei said: “It has already come to this, is it necessary for Villa Master Ye to pretend any longer? Even if you just directly say that you belong to the Crown Prince’s side, who can do anything to you?”

Ye Haolin said angrily: “Surnamed Xu, don’t slander people!”

“Kill…..”

When the shouts arrived, Ye Haolin suddenly stopped and stared fiercely at Su Mu, but Ye Qingfeng stood subtly in front of Su Mu to block the stare. At this moment, Ye Haolin did not have any time to do more, the shouts of killing were already nearing the outside of Jinglin Manor. If they continued to not act they would definitely die today.

Qin Wanli drew out his sword and shouted loudly: “Charge out!” Everyone immediately rushed towards the gates of Jinglin Manor.

Everyone was gone in an instant, and only Su Mu was still standing there. “Darling…..” Ye Qingfeng said anxiously. He was the first to not believe that the government troops were here to kill the martial arts people of jianghu, unless Su Mu’s head was kicked by a donkey. Otherwise, he would definitely not start an internal war on his own while under the siege of the four kingdoms. Wouldn’t that just be cutting a piece of flesh from himself?

“You stay away.” Su Mu said to Ye Qingfeng next to him. He then carelessly threw away the folding fan in his hand. There was still a smile on his face, but there was no warmth in it. The look in his eyes when looking at Xu Wei was like one looking at dead meat.

Ye Qingfeng had never personally seen the Crown Prince going completely mad and on an indiscriminate killing spree, so he did not leave, but directly attacked Xu Wei. But Xu Wei was a powerful martial artist, and although he could not land a hit on Ye Qingfeng, Ye Qingfeng could not hurt him either.

Su Mu swiftly arrived, sweeping a kick at Xu Wei who was fighting with Ye Qingfeng. The other didn’t expect that a young man would have such fast speed and such powerful martial arts inner force. In a moment of carelessness, Xu Wei was kicked by Su Mu and landed on the other side of the wall.

The group of black-robed guards slashed their swords towards Su Mu instantly. Su Mu didn’t even look at them however. He shot out his right hand horizontally like lightning, and accurately pierced through the clothing and skin of one of the black-robed man before the other’s sword could even land, precisely wrapping the still beating heart in his fist. With an audible sound, the still beating heart in Su Mu’s fist bursted into pieces. Afterwards, Su Mu continued to do the same with the rest of the black robed men and in less than half a minute, a couple dozen people in black robes all died from having their hearts crushed to pieces by Su Mu.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

While feeling the blood flowing in his body begin to speed up, and the excitement in his mind that could no longer be restrained, Su Mu looked at the blood in his hand in disgust. Why did that idiot Su Mochi like this kind of bloody killing technique? Every time blood would drench him all over, it was incredibly disgusting.

Su Mu thought this way in his heart, but still did not hesitate and crushed the next person’s heart like it was an instinct.

Towards this seemingly violent punch, Ye Qingfeng didn’t even bother to evade at all. While slipping his hands into Su Mu’s clothes, he gasped in Su Mu’s ears: “Darling, I miss you to death, God, your ass is really smooth…..”

Su Mu leaned against the wall with flushed cheeks. He put his hands against Ye Qingfeng’s hard chest and said, “Asshole, stop! Your father is still outside, don’t you care?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Ye Qingfeng pulled the clothes over Su Mu’s chest apart, licked it, and breathed heavily, “I’ll go out again when they start to fight, now I’m going in first for a round.”

The place where they were now was only a small corner behind the wedding hall, and so long as someone passed by they would be able to see them at any time. Su Mu had no intentions of performing a live erotic show for others, but he couldn’t really hurt Ye Qingfeng either. As a result, this rogue got bolder and bolder. Seeing that the final line of defense was about to fall, Su Mu couldn’t think of anything more and circulated his inner force to push back Ye Qingfeng. The two of them instantly changed positions. Ye Qingfeng’s two thievish hands still wanted to continue touching but was immediately held by Su Mu and pressed down over his head. Ye Qingfeng took the opportunity to rub Su Mu with his hard lower half, licking Su Mu’s soft earlobe and saying: “Darling, you want to do it yourself?”

“Shut up!” Su Mu said viciously: “Do you have nothing but this kind of thing in your head?”

“Second brother!” A voice suddenly came from behind, and Su Mu was taken aback. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Ye Qingchen whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Su Mu hurriedly let go of Ye Qingchen and turned around to tidy up his clothes. In contrast, Ye Qingfeng tugged his rumpled red wedding robes calmly and unhurriedly.

“Elder brother.” Ye Qingfeng greeted as if nothing had happened.

Ye Qingchen clenched his fists. He stared at Su Mu angrily and asked, “Is he the Crown Prince?”

The tone was very affirmative, and Ye Qingfeng also admitted frankly: “Yes.

Su Mu turned his back to him, gritted his teeth and fastened his belt. He felt that he had no face to meet people anymore, but he still had to face up to the situation at hand. Su Mu turned around with a slightly blushing face and said: “I am Su Mochi, much offence just now…..”

Ye Qingchen resisted the desire to commit violence and questioned Su Mu: “Does Your Royal Highness think you can do whatever you want with anyone anywhere? Although I am not your opponent, if you force my second brother like this, then even if I, Ye Qingchen, must give up my life, I will still demand Your Highness for an explanation!”

Su Mu: “…..” Who is forcing who! Fuck! It was just that Su Mu didn’t have the face to pull at Ye Qingchen’s neck and shout that he was the one who was being pressed down, and he could only silently carry this black pot.

Seeing Su Mu’s “calm and direct look” and expression of “what can you do to me”, Ye Qingchen almost vomited blood. Biting his molars and moving his eyes away, he grabbed Ye Qingfeng and walked out. Ye Qingfeng hurriedly grabbed Su Mu’s hands and the three of them went out together.

There were already the fierce sounds of metal crashing against metal outside the wedding hall. A person wearing a black robe and with his face hidden was fighting with the big guy who had previously spoken to Su Mu. The big guy was very strong, and a big pit appeared wherever his footsteps fell. The black robed man had very bizarre and tricky movements, and the big man couldn’t land a hit on him at all, the two remaining in a stalemate.

Su Mu stood at the back of the crowd and carefully observed the battlefield. Ye Qingfeng slowly approached Su Mu and quietly hugged his waist as he said, “Darling, did you already know he was going to come?”

“En.” Su Mu nodded and said, “He was appointed by Princess Hongyun to come and expose your relationship with me.”

Ye Qingfeng raised his eyebrows. He had never deliberately concealed it, but he did not explicitly announce it either. The rumors in jianghu were only rumors in the end, but if they were confirmed, it would be troublesome. Earlier, Ye Qingfeng helped Su Mu gather the forces of jianghu and recruited several sects to prevent others from opposing the imperial court. During this period, he had been using the identity of a jianghu person. Now if it suddenly broke out that he was having an affair with the Crown Prince, it would indeed be troublesome.

“Then why don’t you stop it?” Ye Qingfeng asked in Su Mu’s ear, taking the opportunity to lick and nibble it.

Su Mu gave him a sideways glance: “I just rushed here as soon as I received the news, where do I have the time to stop it?” There was not enough time to dispatch troops over, and if he went personally to lead the army there was also the matter of Ye Qingfeng being married off, so Su Mu could only arrive here first.

Ye Qingfeng smiled wickedly, and said: “Darling, you are so kind to me, I will repay you well tonight.” Ye Qingfeng stroked the attractive curve of Su Mu’s waist with his right hand, and asked: “Darling, what do we do now?”

A cold light flashed in Su Mu’s eyes: “The troops will arrive two hours later. Since they dare to collude with the enemy, they must have the consciousness of facing death.”

Ye Qingfeng keenly caught the word ‘enemy’. “Did she make trouble for you?” Ye Qingfeng asked.

Su Mu had a headache and said: “Chen, Zheng, Wu, Yang, don’t know what benefits these four kingdoms had taken from her, but they suddenly joined forces to attack the Qing Kingdom, and at the same time incited Xu Wei to provoke an internal war in jianghu.”

“Actually daring to bully my darling, watch how I’ll deal with them.” Ye Qingfeng quickly kissed Su Mu’s face and squeezed out the crowd to Ye Haolin’s side.

Seeing Ye Qingfeng whose pressure points were unsealed, Ye Haolin knew that things were over for definite now, and snorted coldly: “Stand on the side.” He then saw Su Mu’s close arrival and his expression became even more ugly. Su Mu had no choice but to pretend to have not seen it.

Sitting at the front door and surrounded by guards, Xu Wei’s expression turned sinister as soon as he saw Ye Qingfeng appear. He said with a half-smile: “Second Eldest Ye Gongzi is really a handsome and charming talent. No wonder you can captivate the Crown Prince.”

One after another, strange looks fell on the Ye family. Ye Haolin’s angry face turned blue, but Ye Qingfeng’s expression finally had a bit of pride, looking more like a bridegroom than before. When Ye Haolin saw the look on Ye Qingfeng’s face he really wanted to slap him to death.

Just what the hell was this? It was understandable raising a daughter and attracting covetousness, but raising a son and still attracting covetousness?!

Ye Haolin moved his gaze away from Su Mu and said to Xu Wei: “When did Clan Master Xu learn to be as gossipy as the shrewd women in the markets.”

The fingers curling his hair paused and Xu Wei sat up straight and looked at Ye Haolin as he said: “Whether Ben Zuo is speaking falsity or the truth, Villa Master Ye can’t be more clear. It’s just a pity that Xuefeng Mountain Villa’s century-old reputation is actually going to be ruined in Villa Master Ye’s hands.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Tch.” Ye Qingfeng walked to stand next to Ye Haolin and said with a sneer: “It’s not for you to comment on the matter of our Xuefeng Villa, you freak, so hurry up and piss off to wherever you came from.”

Xu Wei’s expression changed abruptly. He stood up violently and said to Ye Qingfeng: “Then who do you think you are? Hmmph, deliberately leading the people of jianghu into a dangerous situation, Ye Qingfeng, what are your motives!”

Su Mu replied: “I am just a nameless nobody not worth mentioning.”

The big man raised his hand and was about to continue speaking when he caught a glimpse of everyone gathering in the hall. Among them, a young man who was somewhat similar in appearance to Ye Qingfeng was exchanging greetings with the guests.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

This should be Ye Qingfeng’s elder brother. Su Mu sat in the corner silently and did not plan to go forward for a chat.

However, Ye Qingchen was unable not to notice Su Mu’s figure at a glance. Su Mu’s appearance was too outstanding. Today’s guests were mostly people from jianghu. It was not to say that there were none with eye-catching appearances, but few were like Su Mu with such a captivating appearance and such a powerful aura. Moreover those people were all familiar faces. Su Mu was like a big light lit in the dark so it was difficult for Ye Qingchen not to pay attention. He finished chatting with a group of guests, then went straight to Su Mu’s table, and said in a genteel and polite manner: “I am Ye Qingchen, may I ask for this brother’s surname?”

Su Mu returned the courtesy and said: “I am Su Mu, I have long admired the name of Eldest Ye Gongzi, and it is my fortune to finally see you today.”

Last name Su? Ye Qingchen’s heart suddenly skipped a beat in alarm, could it be that the one in the imperial city came in person? Ye Qingchen felt a thin layer of sweat covering his back, and the smile on his face became stiff. Was it too late to evacuate the guests? If most of the affluent people of jianghu died here today, wouldn’t their Xuefeng Villa and Jinglin be finished?

“You…..”

“Brother Ye, what’s wrong?” Su Mu interrupted Ye Qingchen, who had finally spoopened his mouth with difficulty, with a puzzled look, and continued to ask: “Are you feeling ill?”

“No, no, I’m fine.” Ye Qingchen let out a breath in a hurry, secretly thinking that he was just scaring himself, how could the Crown Prince come here himself. Even if he came, according to the Crown Prince’s style of behavior he would just directly kill the people and snatch Ye Qingfeng away. How could it be possible that he would just sit here and introduce himself with a fake name?

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and the couple of the day slowly walked in from the door. When they walked in some more Su Mu finally saw through the crowd that Ye Qingfeng was being supported by someone as he walked. Ye Qingchen said to Su Mu with a joyful expression: “The new couple has arrived, please come to the inner hall with me to observe the ceremony, brother Su.”

Su Mu quirked the corners of his mouth and said, “Fine.” After speaking, he stood up and looked at Ye Qingfeng, who was surrounded by the crowd and dressed as a bridegroom, with a sword-like gaze.

Ye Qingfeng, who was being supported as forward, felt cold sweat sprout on his back and couldn’t help but feel startled. Looking sideways, he saw Su Mu standing with his elder brother. That face that haunted his days and nights currently had a smile on that caused his hair to stand on end. But at this time, not only did his sealed pressure points immobilize movement it also muted his voice. He couldn’t speak at all and he could only blink his eyes at Su Mu, but Su Mu seemed like he did not see it at all and along with the crowd he entered the hall with Ye Qingchen to observe the ceremony.

Ye Qingfeng was so anxious that the back of his wedding robes became soaked with sweat, and he didn’t know what this little unscrupulous and heartless guy was up to, not even making a movement at all even now. Did he really want to watch him get married with someone else?

At this time, he was already standing in the middle of the hall, waiting to be called to complete the wedding rites. Ye Qingfeng remained stiff and uncompromising, causing Ye Haolin to glare at Ye Qingfeng. If not for the fact that the newlyweds would be entering the bridal room afterwards perhaps he would have instantly jumped up and given him a good beating. But at this moment, he suddenly saw a slightly familiar figure, and Ye Haolin stood up violently in shock.

Madam Ye and the bride’s father, Qin Wanli, also stood up abruptly. Qin Wanli vigilantly asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong, brother Ye?”

“He’s here.” Ye Haolin stared at Su Mu, the latter flashing him a bright smile.

Qin Wanli’s heart skipped a beat and he said with disbelief, “What? He’s here!”

Ye Haolin nodded and signaled Qin Wanli not to do anything. Even if everyone here went up against the Crown Prince the outcome would still not be in their favor. In any case, the other hadn’t made a move yet, so it was best to complete the wedding rituals first.

The wedding presider on the side received a sign and hurriedly raised his voice and shouted: “Bow first to heaven and earth…..”

Ye Qingfeng stiffened his neck and stubbornly refused to bow his head. Ye Haolin clenched his fists anxiously and kept gesturing with his eyes at the person behind Ye Qingfeng, signaling him to press Ye Qingfeng down quickly.

Su Mu smiled slightly and flicked his fingers at the pressure point of the person behind Ye Qingfeng, immediately making him unable to move. Ye Haolin was also a martial arts expert and immediately noticed it. He glared at Su Mu then gestured at Ye Qingchen with his eyes and said: “You go.”

Ye Qingchen looked at his angry father, and then at the equally angry Ye Qingfeng, and was finally defeated under his father’s gaze. Pretending to not see Ye Qingfeng’s angry glare he pressed against his neck, whispering in Ye Qingfeng’s ear: “Even at this stage, that person still hasn’t made any movements. Give up, you should have understood already that he does not lack men. So why do you wrong yourself like this? Just properly finish the wedding rituals.”

You know a fart, let me go! Ye Qingfeng motioned with his eyes.

There was a stalemate for a long time, and the eyes of everyone present also gradually changed. Thinking of the rumors spreading outside, many people’s eyes began to take on a gossipy light, and the bride with a veil next to Ye Qingfeng also squeezed the red handkerchief in her hand anxiously.

“What are you waiting for, hurry up!” Ye Haolin whisper-shouted to Ye Qingchen, and then to the presider: “Start again.”

The presider had no choice but to raise his voice and shout again: “Bow first to…..”

However, the presider had yet to even finish speaking when his voice was overwhelmed by a burst of wild and arrogant laughter.

“Hahahahahaha…..Xu has arrived late to Second Eldest Ye Gongzi’s wedding, Xu must ask Villa Master Ye and Hero Qin to not be offended…..”

This voice was very penetrating and came from far away and clearly heard by everyone’s ears. Ye Haolin and Qin Wanli stood up at the same time, and Su Mu also turned to the source of the voice along with everyone present.

On the courtyard wall outside the door suddenly appeared a middle-aged man with white hair but the delicate skin of a baby. His eyes swept the crowd like steel needles, and suddenly his attention was caught by Su Mu. His fingers curled his sideburns and looked at Su Mu with obscene eyes: “I didn’t expect that there would be such a delicious little guy in this remote place, when finished with matters Ben Zuo must have a good taste.” (TN: Ben Zuo, self-reference used by jianghu masters, similar to the Ben Gong used by imperial members)

Ye Haolin walked out of the crowd and looked at the middle-aged man standing on the wall. His expression was unkind and he said: “Clan Master Xu, it is my son’s big wedding today and it is not suitable to take up arms. If Clan Master Xu has any suggestions, please come back another day.”

In the blink of an eye the middle-aged man appeared in the courtyard, and at the same time a group of people in black cloaks also swarmed in through the door. Xu Wenxiu shook the dust that did not exist from his clothes, and sat down leisurely on a stool placed by his subordinate. He sneered: “I think today can’t be better, it’s just right for a fight.”

In the middle of the hall, Ye Qingfeng still had his pressure points sealed and could only stand there like a stump of wood. Ye Qingchen saw Su Mu approaching and said kindly: “Brother Su…..”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But before he even finished speaking, he saw Su Mu quickly unlock Ye Qingfeng’s pressure points. He couldn’t even stop him even if he wanted to. Ye Qingfeng, who was finally released, grabbed Su Mu’s wrist and the two disappeared in front of Ye Qingchen in the blink of an eye.

At the back of the wedding hall, Ye Qingfeng kept one ear out to the movement outside while pressing Su Mu under his body and sucked fiercely on the other’s lips. Su Mu punched him and said angrily: “Get off!”

Three days later, Shangguan Hao appeared in front of Su Mu with a haggard face and gritted teeth, saying: “I will lead the army, but there is one condition.”

Su Mu suppressed the joy in his heart, raised his eyebrows and said, “Make your request.”

Shangguan Hao angrily pointed to a blank faced Shi Yan and said: “Don’t let him appear before my eyes ever.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Fine.” Su Mu replied readily.

Shangguan Hao glared at Shi Yan with bloodshot eyes, practically wishing nothing more than to glare holes through him.

Su Mu stroked his smooth chin as he looked at Shangguan Hao’s back. He then said to the young man in the corner: “Follow him all the way, but remember not to appear in front of him, and report any situation at any time…..Though you can’t appear in front of him, in special cases you can still show up behind him, such as when he wants to escape or make trouble.”

“Yes.” The young man disappeared in the blink of an eye, faithfully performing his duties.

It was impossible for Su Mu to hand over the tens of thousands of troops to Shangguan Hao. Even if there was a supervising army official, Su Mu was not very at ease, and he still had to let Shi Yan keep a watch on the other.

After a while, a travel dusty Shi Nuo hurriedly walked in from the door, clasped his fists in both hands and said: “Paying respects to Your Highness.”

“What’s the matter?” Su Mu turned sideways and asked.

Shi Nuo took out a small piece of note paper from his sleeve and handed it to Su Mu while saying: “Your Highness, this is a letter from Ye Gongzi to you.”

“Ye Qingfeng?” Su Mu took the note and unfolded it with some confusion. On it, two words were written that could express both intimate feelings of longing and the urgency of an emergency.

Darling, help!

Couldn’t even write a letter seriously. Su Mu put the note away and asked Shi Nuo: “What happened to him?”

Shi Nuo’s eyes flickered and said: “Ye Gongzi, he…..”

“What’s wrong?” Su Mu was a little confused. He felt that the fact the other had the energy to write an extra word to flirt, the situation shouldn’t be a particularly dangerous one.

“Ye Gongzi is going to get married tomorrow.” Shi Nuo toughened his skin and finally elaborated only for the temperature in the room to drop several degrees as soon as the words fell. Shi Nuo carefully glanced at the Crown Prince above, and saw that his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Shi Nuo quickly retracted his eyes and froze in the study room where even a needle could be heard if it was dropped to the floor. After a long while, the pressure in the room lifted a little, and Shi Nuo breathed a sigh of relief in silence.

Su Mu suppressed his anger and asked, “What is going on?”

Shi Nuo hesitated and said: “This…..this subordinate does not know. At that time, this subordinate was tracing the cause of the breach of contract by Wu and Yang. After coming back, this subordinate happened to pass by Jinglin and met Ye Gongzi. He hinted to this subordinate to bring this letter to Your Highness.”

The pressure around them lessened a little more, and Su Mu silently unfolded the crumpled note and asked, “What is Jinglin?”

Shi Nuo said: “It is a jianghu sect, known for its Qimen Dunjia technique. It is entrenched in the area of ​​Menghu Mountain in Qingyang County, and ordinary people are unable to enter.” (TN: Qimen Dunjia=ancient form of Chinese divination)

Su Mu frowned slightly and paced back and forth. He was preoccupied by the crisis of the Qing Kingdom border war. He was not required to make suggestions related to the movements of the army. Su Mu was just a layman in terms of fighting wars and did not even have a better understanding of military strategies than Yun Feiyu, Lin Siyuan and the others.

But just letting Ye Qingfeng get X by others he was also unwilling. Su Mu rubbed his thumb and index finger back and forth, then raised his eyes to Shi Nuo and asked, “How long will it take to reach Jinglin from the imperial city?”

Shi Nuo replied: “It takes a day and a night to go by fast horse.”

Su Mu sat down on a chair and said to Shi Nuo: “You can retreat. Have someone call Yun Feiyu over.”

Yun Feiyu walked into the Crown Prince’s study with confusion, looked at the Crown Prince who currently had a displeased expression, and said gently: “Paying respect to Your Highness.”

Su Mu raised his hand to signal the exemption of courtesy, and quickly said: “I have to leave for three days. You will discuss with Lin Siyuan and the others about handling the affairs of the imperial court. If there is an urgent matter I need to make a decision on, hand it to Shi Nuo to let him pass it on to me.”

Yun Feiyu was startled and asked: “Your Highness, where are you going? The war on the frontlines…..”

Su Mu raised his hand to stop him: “Shen Wei and Shangguan Hao are in charge of the war on the frontlines, and the imperial court has you and Lin Siyuan. You are all my right hands and left hands as well as the court’s talented pillars. I believe you can handle everything well.”

“Yes.” Yun Feiyu had no choice but to say so.

Su Mu sighed with a slight guilty conscience. Putting aside national affairs to save that flirty rogue. Su Mu vowed to sort the other out right and proper after seeing Ye Qingfeng.

Qingyang County, Jinglin.

Ye Qingfeng finally looked tidied up for once, his stiff and immobile body wearing red wedding robes and letting others fuss over him.

With a loving face, Madam Ye brushed the hair back on Ye Qingfeng, who had his pressure points sealed, and said softly: “Mother has waited for more than 20 years and finally waited until you little debt collector is going to get married. This time, let’s see how you can escape! Our next door’s Aunt Sun’s son is the same age as you, but his grandchildren are all old enough to run around, whereas I don’t even see a trace of my grandson’s shadow…..”

Ye Qingfeng tried to break through the seal on his pressure points for the 600th time and failed again. He listened helplessly to his mother’s nagging, and said with indignation: “You can go find eldest brother if you want to hold your grandson. Why is it my turn?”

“You dare to say this!” Madam Ye poked Ye Qingfeng’s head fiercely, and said: “If it weren’t for you, how could Qingchen fall in love with the pitiful girl Bai Yue, and as a result your sister-in-law has passed away for so long and he still refuses to marry again.”

Ye Qingfeng said innocently: “You can’t blame me for this.”

“I’m too lazy to talk to bicker with you.” Madam Ye wrapped the red band around Ye Qingfeng’s hair and inserted a jade hairpin. She stepped back and looked at her handsome and tall son, and said with some confusion: “Why is it that no matter what kind of fine clothes you have on they still always look…..indecent on you?”

The corner of Ye Qingfeng’s mouth twitched: “This is your son’s characteristic, aiya mother…..you should just let me go, I really don’t like Qin Xuesha.”

“When you were a kid, you said you wanted to marry her. The man must keep his promise. When the time is right, you better perform the baitang well.” Madam Ye joyfully had people carry Ye Qingfeng out to the wedding hall. (TN: baitang=ritual kneeling to heaven and earth by bride and groom in an old-fashioned wedding ceremony)

Outside Jinglin, Su Mu had his hair hanging down and loosely tied back, holding a folding fan, and dressed up like a jianghu gongzi. Looking seemingly at random around Jinglin, Su Mu was in truth a layman who knew nothing about Qimen Dunjia. He could only feel a sense of wrongness from this beautiful forest but couldn’t pinpoint where it was wrong.

The pure white boots stepped on the stone road covered with red firecracker papers and Su Mu’s eyes darkened. After a while, Su Mu followed the stone road and arrived outside the gate of Jinglin Manor where endless guests milled about. Su Mu pulled up the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile as he took out an invitation and an accompanying gift from his sleeve.

Naturally, the invitation was snatched, but the name and sect on it were changed. By the way, the accompanying gift was also snatched at random as well.

The bookkeeper, who was burying his head in recording down guests, suddenly saw a white and flawless hand appear in front of him. When he raised his head, the hand had already retracted, but he saw the owner of the hand. The flawless, beautifully handsome face was like the sun and made him squint his eyes reflexively. When he came back to his senses, the person had already disappeared. He lowered his head and opened the invitation card, wondering: “Baigui Sect, Hei Feng? Didn’t they say that Hei Feng had a peerlessly ugly appearance? Was it just a rumor?”

Su Mu walked to the main hall without hindrance, and as the newlyweds had not yet arrived, Su Mu was so idle he began to drink tea in the lively wedding hall.

“Clang”. A sturdy man placed his weapon in front of Su Mu. His large fan sized hand held up the teapot in front of Su Mu and poured it into his mouth. Su Mu silently shifted an angle with his teacup still raised to his mouth.

The big man put the teapot back on the table with a “bang” and instantly the teapot shattered into a pile of broken ceramic. The big man quickly explained to the vigilant servant on the side: “Excuse me, my hand slipped a bit, hehehehe…..” After the servant left, he very enthusiastically said to Su Mu: “Hey, little brother, I haven’t seen you before? You have to be careful when you are so handsome. There are too many bad guys out there. If you join my Heixiong Sect, this big brother will watch your back. Those who dare to touch you half a finger, I will cut him…..”

Su Mu dodged the flying speckles of saliva and ignored him, but this big man talked more vigorously and more enthusiastically. A big palm double the size of Su Mu’s slapped towards Su Mu’s shoulders. Su Mu’s face remained unmoved and like lightning he quickly blocked the big man’s arm before saying, “It’s not polite to pat someone on the shoulder casually.”

The big man’s eyes lit up, and completely didn’t notice the admonition, “I didn’t notice at all, little brother, you look so weak and delicate but your martial arts skills are quite high, which sect do you belong to?

Shangguan Hao abruptly stood up from the stone bench, and without even bothering to say anything he immediately threw a punch.

Shi Yan calmly avoided, and once again said to the angry Shangguan Hao: “His Highness wants to ses you.”

Shangguan Hao ignored him and leaped at the other with a flying kick. Shi Yan stretched out his hand like lightning and grabbed his ankle, but Shangguan Hao turned over and broke free…..

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Yun Feiyu watched the two people make a mess in the previously tidy courtyard, and had to step back and stay far away to avoid being hit by accident. But the Crown Prince being so forceful, how sure was he to convince Shangguan Hao?

After a long while, Shangguan Hao was captured. Shi Yan ignored Shangguan Hao’s fire-breathing expression, and after sealing his pressure points, quickly disappeared while carrying the temporarily immobile and mute Shangguan Hao.

Yun Feiyu looked at the messy garden in silence. Although the Crown Prince had become better now and knew how to govern the country, the overbearing and straight-forward style of acting had not changed at all.

In the imperial palace. Su Mu was dealing with issues related to the war on the border, and as soon as he saw that Shi Yan had carried the person over, he put down the letter in his hand.

Shi Yan put the immobile Shangguan Hao on the chair, and said to Su Mu solemnly: “Reporting to Your Highness, the person has been invited over.”

Shangguan Hao, who was trying to break through the seals on his pressure points countless times, glared at Shi Yan fiercely: “You call this a fucking invite?”

Su Mu nodded in satisfaction and said: “Retreat.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Now only Su Mu and Shangguan Hao were left in the room. With a wave of his hand, the two doors slammed shut. Su Mu walked towards Shangguan Hao with a kind smile on his face.

“What do you want to do?” Shangguan Hao looked at Su Mu warily. This was the second time he saw Su Mu. Because Su Mu had given him too deep an impression last time they faced, as a result, Su Mu slowly walking near him caused all the hairs on his whole body to stand up at this time.

Su Mu held a stack of paper and shook it in front of Shangguan Hao, and said, “Wu Kingdom’s treasured military manual.” Then he reached out and unsealed his pressure points.

As soon as his pressure points were unsealed, Shangguan Hao stood up and grabbed the papers from Su Mu’s hand and looked at it one by one. But Su Mu’s handwriting was really not something that could be praised. Even if he made great progress, he still stayed at the elementary level. Shangguan Hao couldn’t help feeling disdain for Su Mu’s handwriting while being engrossed in the military manual at the same time. He had never seen the real military manual, but he still had a distinguishing ability. Even if the Crown Prince had practically changed into another person he was not very proficient in army matters let alone write a military strategy book. He didn’t believe that the Crown Prince could write this kind of military manual brilliant enough to be handed down the generations.

Su Mu looked at Shangguan Hao who shifted from excited to frowning and then back again and said, “This is only a small part. If you are willing to lead the fight against the foreign enemies, I can give you another part.”

Shangguan Hao abruptly squeezed the papers in his hand, struggling fiercely in his heart. He regarded fame and wealth as insignificant and had no problem giving them up. Only this military manual of the Wu Kingdom was something he had coveted for a long time, so the Crown Prince indeed truly scratched the right itch. But Shangguan Hao still gritted his teeth and said: “I won’t go.”

Su Mu secretly gritted his teeth and drew out the decorated sword hung on the stand.

Shangguan Hao turned around abruptly and looked at Su Mu vigilantly and mockingly: “Why, Your Highness is going to kill me?”

“Kill you, why use a sword.” Su Mu nearly angered Shangguan Hao half to death and then walked to the copper furnace with the sword and raised it before slashing it down neatly.

A piercing breaking metal “screech” sounded, and a corner of the copper furnace was neatly cut off. Su Mu calmly held the sword and turned to Shangguan Hao. But then Su Mu stiffened when he saw two nicks on the blade of the sword.

However, Shangguan Hao’s eyes lit up after seeing the sword. He could feel that the Crown Prince just now did not use internal force. He simply cut off the corner of the copper furnace with a little physical strength. Moreover, the sword itself was thin and the thickness was less than three centimeters while the width was that of only two fingers, yet it could easily cause such a large amount of damage.

The corner of Su Mu’s mouth twitched and he coughed slightly, “I accidentally put too much force. General Shangguan, please come with me and I will show you more good things.”

Anyway, he had no chance of winning in front of the Crown Prince. So Shangguan Hao could only follow Su Mu out of the room. Besides, his interest was already aroused by the sword. Su Mu took Shangguan Hao through nearly half the imperial palace to the imperial army’s martial arts training field. Before they walked in, they could already hear the sounds of clanging metal, obviously a duel was taking place. As soon as Su Mu appeared in the martial arts training field, everyone immediately stopped.

“Paying respects to Your Highness.”

“Continue.” Su Mu took Shangguan Hao to the side of the weapon rack, reached for a big broadsword and threw it at Shangguan Hao, saying, “Try it.”

Shangguan Hao took the big broadsword thrown by Su Mu and used his hand to test the weight. It was not too heavy. He took the big broadsword and walked to the wooden posts in the martial arts field and swung it down. The tree stump with a circumference of a wide bowl was immediately cut in half easily. Shangguan Hao frowned lightly and then went back to the weapon rack and replaced the broadsword with a spear. The sharp edge of the blade shone with cold light and Shangguan Hao viciously pierced it forward at another stake. The whole stake was easily pierced through like tofu (Shangguan Hao had high martial arts skills, but ordinary people cannot achieve this effect).

Then he tried all the weapons on the weapon racks one after another, and finally Shangguan Hao walked up to Su Mu with a sharp short sword and asked, “How many of these weapons do you have?”

Su Mu said: “A total of 100,000 troops can be equipped with various weapons.”

“But you don’t have an army of 100,000 people.” Shangguan Hao looked at Su Mu as he spoke this. In the Qing Kingdom, most of the young and middle-aged men had died after so many years of civil strife.

Su Mu sighed and said: “That’s why it is necessary for talents like General Shangguan to exert the greatest strength using the smallest advantage.”

Shangguan Hao struggled for a while, but still gritted his teeth and said, “I’m not going.”

Su Mu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes again. He gritted his teeth and said loudly, “Shi Yan.”

The thin young man appeared behind Su Mu silently and said: “What is Your Highness’s command?”

Su Mu gritted his teeth and said: “Sort him out for me until he is obedient!”

Towards such a mulish and stubborn person who was neither afraid of death, moved by fame and fortune, nor indulgent in personal hobbies, Su Mu really did not know how to handle this fellow!

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

When Shi Yan heard this, a series of question marks appeared over his head. He was only a secret guard. Was he now also to work part-time as a torturer? But he had no choice but to toughen his skin and say: “Yes.”

Shangguan Hao stood vigilantly as Shi Yan prepared to make his move, and shouted angrily: “Su Mochi, you cruel tyrant!”

Just after the words fell, he was overwhelmed by Shi Yan, who quickly appeared before him. Shangguan Hao was a soldier, not a martial arts expert master, and naturally could not compare to Shi Yan.

The cause of the war between the Jin and Qing Kingdom was only because two children were fighting over peaches, but then a series of chain reactions put a dozen surrounding countries in a state of war. In truth, the children were just a spark that accidentally lit the gunpowder that surrounded them, resulting in the whole world being filled with the smokes of war.

Su Mu raised his hand and handed the battle report to the eunuch beside him, then asked his subjects, “What do you all think?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The Qing Kingdom won the war with Jin, but was forced back by Chen and Zheng, who later joined in to mooch off benefits. The reason was very simple. The two emperors of Chen and Zheng said that Shen Wei’s army had robbed them of their beauties and treasures. Yun Feiyu’s untenable excuse used to provoke the relationship between the Jin Kingdom and Chen and Zheng was now used on Su Mu. As for Wu and Yang, who were originally allies of the Qing Kingdom, were even more direct and didn’t even bother finding an excuse, directly starting a war against the Qing Kingdom. As for whether there had been any tampering in this, Su Mu had no time to think about it. The first thing to do was to withstand the siege of the four kingdoms.

At this time, verbal debates were no longer useful, and the war that had already occurred could only be solved with “fists”.

Lin Siyuan passed the letter to another person, looked at Su Mu and said: “We can only fight, there is no other way.”

Yun Feiyu immediately said: “Chen, Zheng, Wu, Yang, these four kingdoms have reached an agreement to jointly deal with our Qing Kingdom, and now there is no hope for change in the situation with their armies already approaching. We can only kill all the thieves and bandits in order to deter the neighboring tigers and wolves.”

Su Mu leaned back on the chair and pressed his forehead in frustration, “I of course want to just that, but there are few civil and military officials in the Qing Kingdom, and generals are even more rare. General Qin’s injury in the imperial city battle makes it not suitable for him to lead an expedition any longer. General Shen is fighting against Chen and Zheng on the border. Where can I find someone with the talent to command an army?” Su Mu put down his hand and looked at the group of people and asked, “If you know someone who is capable, you can recommend them.”

The group of people looked at each other and bowed their heads one after another. Most of the capable generals were usually unruly fellows and thorns in the sides of those in power. Your Highness has already cut off their heads a long time ago. It was already fortunate that General Qin and General Shen managed to survive until now.

Of course these words could only be thought of in the privacy of their minds.

Lin Siyuan stood next to Yun Feiyu and gestured at him with his eyes. Yun Feiyu remained unmoved. He knew what Lin Siyuan meant. Shangguan Hao was originally the old Prince of Wu’s subordinate and led the other’s army. Currently Shangguan Hao was still in the imperial city and he was indeed a very good candidate. But don’t forget that he was a key figure in the rebellion before. How could he be used? What if Shangguan Hao went out with the army but instead of fighting foreign enemies he led the army to attack the imperial city? After all, this person had a criminal record.

Yun Feiyu did not mention it, and Lin Siyuan did not dare to mention it. He was unfamiliar with Shangguan Hao and couldn’t guarantee that he would not rebel again. Just now he was just making an inquiry to Yun Feiyu.

Su Mu was even more depressed when he saw that the dozen people remained silent and without even saying a word. He racked his brains to search for feasible candidates and after a while, a thought finally flashed by. He said to Yun Feiyu: “Uh…..the one you asked me to let go last time. What’s his name again? The one who followed your grandfather.”

Yun Feiyu instantly looked up at the frowning Su Mu, was he looking for death? Or was he really that bold? Did he really dare to use a person convicted of rebellion? Although his thoughts and emotions were turbulent, he still said very calmly: “Your Highness, are you talking about Wu An or Shangguan Hao?”

“Yes, it’s Shangguan Hao.” Su Mu said: “The last time during the settling of the civil strife, he had caused a lot of trouble to the Wu Kingdom’s army and Ben Gong. Ben Gong even had to use secret guards to capture him. He is indeed a singular talent.”

Hu Yuan behind Lin Siyuan hurriedly bowed to Su Mu and said: “Your Highness, it’s not appropriate! How can a rebel leader be used, what if…..”

Su Mu put up his hand and interrupted him: “Do you have a better candidate? Besides, can you guarantee that the others are even loyal?”

Hu Yuan said anxiously: “This…..but…..Your Highness…..”

“I know your concerns, and I have the same concerns, but I also have my own certainty.”

Hu Yuan had no choice but to retreat, but in his heart he still strongly disagreed with Shangguan Hao leading the army. If the other rebelled again, everyone would be in danger.

Su Mu glanced at the exasperated Hu Yuan, and then shifted his gaze to Yun Feiyu. He said: “Go and find Shangguan Hao, everyone should go back and rest. You have all worked hard.”

“Yes.”

Lin Siyuan, who withdrew with everyone else, paused outside the door and said in incredulity: “Unexpectedly, His Highness himself proposed it. And I just only thought about the possibility. I really don’t know what His Highness is thinking in that head of his?”

After he finished speaking, he immediately noticed that he had spoken a gaffe and hurriedly covered his mouth and looked around vigilantly. Finally, he patted his chest: “Fortunately, no one heard that.”

Yun Feiyu walked forward on his own, as if there was no such person next to him.

At the same time, the only female teacher in the women’s college of the Imperial Classical Academy stood in front of the only female student and asked seriously, “You have thought it over?”

“Yes, teacher.” She raised her head and looked at Yun Feiyan earnestly: “Fame and fortune comes along with risks. This is a step we must take. If I die, my corpse will also become a cornerstone and pave the way for the newcomers. If I succeed, teacher, our sparks will become a prairie fire.”

Yun Feiyan looked at the young woman who had the same flame burning in her eyes, and said, “On this matter, I will do it.”

Xiao Wu shook his head and said, “You are the head of the women’s college and the cradle of hope. There are more people you need to teach and cultivate. You are also the only woman who can have an audience with the Crown Prince. This line cannot be snapped.”

Yun Feiyan clasped her hands tightly and said: “But you are just a weak woman.”

“But I have a strong heart.” Xiao Wu smiled and said, “Teacher, please take care.”

When Yun Feiyu arrived at Shangguan Hao’s residence, Xiao Wu also changed into a military uniform and arrived at the recruiting office.

“I want to sign up.” Xiao Wu said.

The man in the military uniform looked her up and down in confusion several times before he said: “The army does not accept women.”

Xiao Wu stretched out her hand and pointed while reciting the dispatch notice next to them: “Both men and women fifteen and older, forty and under. This is the will of the Crown Prince. Do you want to violate the Crown Prince’s will?”

The man reluctantly wrote down the name Xiao Wu.

After hearing Yun Feiyu’s intentions, Shangguan Hao, who was sitting on the stone bench, turned his head to the side unhappily and said, “I won’t go.”

Yun Feiyu looked at him and said: “Our kingdom faces a disaster on the national level, do you want to ignore it?”

Shangguan Hao angrily said: “He is the greatest disaster in the Qing Kingdom!”

“Ai…..” Yun Feiyu shook his head and stood up, saying: “In that case, the treasured military manual of the Wu Kingdom is destined not to be seen by you.”

Shangguan Hao, who was busy being angry, immediately stood up when he heard “treasured military manual of the Wu Kingdom”, widened his eyes and asked, “What did you say? The Wu Kingdom’s treasured military manual?”

Yun Feiyu nodded and said: “The Crown Prince was taught by an expert master, and he obtained the Wu Kingdom’s treasured military manual.”

Shangguan Hao sat down with a look of disgust: “Keep talking nonsense!”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

However, at this moment, Shi Yan, dressed in black, suddenly appeared in front of the two. He said to Shangguan Hao with a blank face, “His Highness wants to see you.”

That’s right, Su Mu saw that Yun Feiyu hadn’t returned for a long time, so he guessed that Shangguan Hao was unwilling to enter the palace to see him. As a result, he sent Shi Yan, who had dealt with him in the past, to bring him over instead. Since he couldn’t be invited, he would be tied and carried over. Shi Yan had beat him before so naturally he could defeat him a second time.
