My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield-Chapter 183: Countermeasures

Chapter 183: Countermeasures

"Young master… your injuries?"

"It's just an act!"

Hearing Su Wen's words, Zhao Jin felt relieved.

However, he couldn't help but blame himself!

After all, the Blue Cloud Tiger was not cheap!

Zhao Jin sent Su Wen into the carriage and immediately returned to the residence. He then hurriedly went to inform Su Changqing.

In the palace, Emperor Zhou was currently drawing.

"How's my landscape painting?" Emperor Zhou smiled at the empress.

The empress naturally praised, "Your Majesty's brush strength has improved since a long time ago. This painting is magnificent and impressive!"

"Your Majesty! Si Tu is here!"

"Let him in!"

Si Tu entered the inner palace and bowed before saying in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, we just received news that Su Wen and Xu Longzun fought in the streets!"

Emperor Zhou frowned and asked, "And the result?"

"Both of them are heavily injured! Xu Longzun's Qi Sea has been destroyed, Su Wen's life is hanging by a thread!"

Pa!

The Zhou Emperor smashed the table in front of him with his fist and said angrily, "These two bastards! Are they crazy? Why are they so ruthless? Who is the one who started this?"

Situ said, "It should be Xu Longzun. At that time, Su Wen had just come out of the Vicious Beast Shop and met him on the streets. Your Majesty should also be clear about the personalities of these two people. After a disagreement, they started fighting. The two guards tangled with each other and only these two people faced each other. In the end, both sides suffered!"

Emperor Zhou frowned.

This was a big problem.

Xu Qiao was currently fighting the barbarians in the southern border, but his son in the capital had his Qi Sea destroyed…

He frowned and said, "Su Wen and Xu Longzun's cultivation bases are three grades apart, and they both use Heaven Rank cultivation techniques. How could Su Wen achieve an ending of mutual destruction with Xu Longzun in the battle? To the point that Xu Longzun could be considered to have taken a loss?"

"Let Shen Qiu take a look at his injuries!"

"Yes!"

Just as they were speaking, someone reported, "Your Majesty, Xu Qiao's Madam is outside the palace seeking an audience!"

At Su Wen's residence, he was munching on a watermelon while Yan Luoying waited on him by the side. She asked worriedly, "Husband, could your fake injury be seen through?"

Su Wen smiled and said, "Don't worry, this isn't a fake injury. It's a real injury! As long as someone comes to take a look, I will injure my internal organs. No matter how skilled they are, they won't be able to see through it."

"Young Master, the Prime Minister is here." Just as Ning Shuang finished speaking, Su Changqing rushed in hurriedly.

The moment he saw Su Wen, his face flushed red as he casually munched on the watermelon, He immediately turned around and glared at Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin hurriedly said in a low voice, "Isn't this because we're afraid of the news being leaked?"

Su Changqing asked in a low voice, "What tune are you trying to sing now?"

Su Wen said with a serious expression, "Xu Longzun wants to kill me! He didn't hold back at all when he attacked. If I wasn't vicious enough, I'll be in trouble!"

Su Changqing narrowed his eyes. This sentence was enough for him.

"You want to force Xu Qiao to rebel!" Su Changqing said in a low voice.

Su Wen nodded and said, "Now that things have come to this, we won't rest until one of us is dead. I can't let Xu Longzun do whatever he wants, so I naturally have to be ruthless. If I can use this opportunity to force Xu Qiao to rebel, that would be for the best!"

Su Changqing pondered and said, "This is a good idea. If you don't get injured, His Majesty will definitely punish you and give Xu Qiao a peace of mind. However, if you and Xu Longzun are both heavily injured, His Majesty will be in a dilemma. As long as he doesn't punish you, the Xu family will feel even more indignant. At that time… Even if Xu Qiao doesn't rebel, His Majesty will also seize his military power!"

"No! I have to enter the palace too!"

Su Changqing left in a hurry.

In the palace, Emperor Zhou had a helpless look on his face when he heard that Madam Xu Qiao had come.

"Let her in."

Not long after, a woman walked into the hall.

Although this lady was quite old, she still retained her charm. However, there were some faint wrinkles on her face.

"Your Majesty! You have to uphold justice for our Xu Family! That Su Wen has gone too far." Madam Xu cried and said, "It's fine that he bullied our Longcheng, but this time, Longzun had just returned to the capital when his Qi Sea was broken by Su Wen. This life is ruined. Your Majesty, you have to uphold justice for our Longzun!"

Emperor Zhou felt a headache coming on.

Right then, another message came from outside the palace.

Su Changqing was seeking an audience!

"Let him in!"

Su Changqing entered with a solemn expression. He walked in with his head held high and glanced coldly at Madam Xu. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask the Secret Shadow Guard to arrest Xu Longzun! This person attacked on the streets and attempted to kill an official of the court, causing the death of the commoners. The surrounding residences were destroyed and the Secret Shadow Guard's commander, Su Wen, was severely injured. His life is hanging by a thread and the impact is extremely bad! According to the law, he should be executed. Your Majesty, please deal with him impartially!"

Emperor Zhou looked at Su Changqing's uncharacteristically solemn face and secretly pondered.

Was Su Wen's injury really that serious?

However, Emperor Zhou had already asked Shen Qiu to take a look. He was naturally not in a hurry. After pondering for a while, he said, "It's common for young people to fight. It's not that serious."

He started to smooth things over. It was impossible for him to deal with Xu Longzun now as well. After all, there was still Xu Qiao, who was still leading troops in Southern Border.

The problem was that if Su Wen was also severely injured, then he would also not be able to punish Su Wen. Xu Longzun was clearly the one who was looking for trouble, so wouldn't his actions make Su Wen and Su Changqing's hearts turn cold?

To him, to paper this matter over was the best and only choice.

In Su Wen's mansion, Shen Qiu had already arrived. After she entered, she was led to Su Wen's room.

The moment she entered the room, she was shocked. Su Wen's face was pale and he was lying on the bed. One look and she could tell that he had suffered severe internal injuries.

She rushed forward and checked Su Wen's pulse, before quickly taking out a pill from the medicine box.

She stuffed it into Su Wen's mouth before using her Qi to push it right into his stomach!

After a while, Su Wen woke up and saw Shen Qiu. He whispered, "Sister Shen, why are you here?"

Shen Qiu frowned and said, "Don't speak. Your internal organs are severely injured. Even if you take my Heavenly King Life Protection Pill, you will only be able to stabilize it. I will give you a prescription and ask someone to ensure that you take the medicine regularly. With such an injury, I'm afraid you'll have repercussions."

How would she know that Su Wen was undying and indestructible? Such injuries could be healed at any time.

It was also fortunate that Su Wen had left a trick up his sleeve and not shared it with Emperor Zhou. Otherwise, it would have been even more difficult to hide his injury.

When he heard that Shen Qiu had come, he had specially made a ruthless move and used his True Qi to injure his internal organs severely. Although it was painful, he knew that it was necessary!

In the palace, Emperor Zhou pulled Su Changqing and Madam Xu aside to talk to them.

Right now, they were all waiting for Shen Qiu's report.

Finally, Shen Qiu returned.

Emperor Zhou hurriedly asked, "How are Su Wen's injuries?"

Shen Qiu said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Su Wen's internal organs have all been invaded by the Qi forces, and his injuries are extremely severe. I've given him a Heavenly King Life Protection Pill, but it only stabilized his injuries. If he doesn't have any heavenly treasures, I'm afraid he'll have hidden injuries remaining!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou gritted his teeth in anger!

"Is there anything in the inner treasury that he can use? Quickly send it to him! I don't want to hear him having any repercussions!" Emperor Zhou said coldly, "No matter what the price is, I want you to heal him!"

Emperor Zhou clenched his fists.

Xu Longzun and Su Wen were both future Heaven Ranked seedlings of Great Zhou.

But these two people actually fought, and both of them were injured so badly!

Xu Longzun's Qi Sea had been destroyed, so it was obvious that he was crippled.

However, he had to save Su Wen. Emperor Zhou could not bear to lose two geniuses!

After saying that, he pondered over the two people in front of him.

Finally, Emperor Zhou looked at Madam Xu and said in a deep voice, "Xu Longzun deliberately made an enemy out of Su Wen today, causing the deaths of the commoners and Su Wen to be severely injured. He only has himself to blame for his Qi Sea being destroyed. On account of the Xu family serving Great Zhou for generations and Xu Longzun being severely injured, this matter ends here. You will return immediately and educate your children properly. You cannot do this again!"

When Madam Xu heard this, her expression turned indignant.

She grumbled, "Your Majesty, our Longzun's Qi Sea has been destroyed. You're just going to let this go?"

"So what if I am? Do you want me to chop off Su Wen's head as punishment? It's not like anyone who is injured has the final say in this world. Isn't Su Wen also severely injured? Hurry up and go back!" Emperor Zhou reprimanded.

After seeing Madam Xu off, he looked at the ice-cold Su Changqing at the side. Emperor Zhou consoled, "Changqing, this Xu Family is after all a family with great contributions, and Xu Longzun has served the border army for many years. Even though this matter is his fault, if we continue to look into it, it won't be suitable. Su Wen's injuries, you don't have to worry. With Shen Qiu here, as well as our imperial treasury's heavenly treasures, he definitely won't leave behind any repercussions."

As soon as Emperor Zhou finished speaking, Su Changqing gritted his teeth and said, "I will obey Your Majesty's orders!"

Emperor Zhou could tell that he was unwilling and could not help but smile bitterly.

After watching Su Changqing leave, Emperor Zhou could not help but complain to the empress. "Tell me! This Su Wen just returned to the capital and got himself into such a big mess. Can't he just be silent for a few days?"

The empress laughed and said, "Your Majesty, then in your heart, should Su Wen be crippled or Xu Longzun crippled?"

"What are you talking about!" Emperor Zhou reprimanded, but he wasn't really angry. In the end, if he had to choose, it would definitely be Xu Longzun being crippled that was more in line with Emperor Zhou's wishes.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Zhou issued an order. "Inform Wu Kunhu to immediately head to the southern border and lead the army. Xu Qiao will be his assistant! In the short term, Xu Qiao cannot return to the capital. We must also be on guard against any changes to Xu Qiao!"

Amongst the 9th Grade Earth Rank generals, only Wu Kunhu could firmly suppress Xu Qiao.

"And then there's his eldest son, Xu Longze. He's currently in Xu Qiao's army, so we have to take good care of him. Nothing must happen to him!"

"Also, take care of Xu Qiao and his son's residences. Don't let the Xu family leave the capital!"

But what he didn't know was that at this time, in the Xu Family, Madam Xu was about to go crazy from the double whammy. After seeing her son's Qi Sea destroyed, and then herself being rebuked for entering the palace, she immediately added oil to the fire and wrote a letter, directly ordering people to release a messenger hawk from the inner residence. Carrying with it the news of Xu Longzun being crippled, it flew straight towards the Southern Wilderness!

Soon, the eunuch arrived at the Wu Residence.

"Wu Kunhu, accept the Royal Decree…"

"Xu Longzun and Su Wen fought on the streets. Xu Longzun's Qi Sea was destroyed and Su Wen was heavily injured. The Emperor orders Wu Kunhu to immediately head to the Southern Border and take over the military affairs. Xu Qiao will be your assistant, make sure both him and his son focus on the country's affairs and not let them neglect their military affairs. This is the Emperor's command!"

Wu Muyu, who was eavesdropping on the side, suddenly jumped up when she heard this news.

She ran to the eunuch and cried out in alarm, "Brother Su is seriously injured? How is he?"

The eunuch smiled and replied, "Young Master Su's life should be fine, but…"

"But what?"

"It's just that the rumors say that he might have some hidden injuries remaining, but His Majesty has already gotten Royal Physician Shen to use the treasures in the royal family's inner treasury to treat him, so it should be fine."

At this moment, Wu Kunhu stepped forward and received the imperial decree. "Thank you, Eunuch!"

The eunuch tactfully excused himself.

Wu Muyu said, "I want to see Brother Su…"

"Just go… I didn't say I would stop you." After what had happened last time, Wu Kunhu was too lazy to stop Wu Muyu any longer.

Unfortunately, how could the little girl let him off? "Don't you have a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng? Give it to me! I'll send it to Brother Su!"

"Hah?"

Wu Kunhu's jaw dropped.

"Dream on! Why would I give that ginseng to that brat?!"

"What are you keeping it for? Brother Su needs the good stuff right now! I'm going to treat Brother Su's injuries!"

"No! I'm not giving it to you! Men, prepare the horses and bring the ginseng for me!" Wu Kunhu looked at the little girl and sneered. "It's fine if you don't say it. But now that you've said it, I can't keep the ginseng at home!"

"Dad, let me help you!" Wu Lie said loudly.

During this period of time, Wu Lie was rather well-behaved and spent all his time cultivating in seclusion at home.

However, what made Wu Kunhu extremely unhappy was that this fellow had somehow erected a memorial tablet in his room.

Wu Muyu couldn't help but stomp his feet when he saw Wu Kunhu's reaction. He gritted his teeth and said, "You! Why are you so petty? That ginseng can't bear children!"

"Heh, I'm just that petty! That Su Wen isn't petty. I didn't see him give me anything the last time he came. He doesn't know any manners!"

Just as he said that, Chu He arrived outside their residence.

He bowed and said, "General Wu, my family's young master originally wanted to pay a visit today and specially went to buy a 7th Grade Earth Ranked Fire Horned Python. He slaughtered it on the spot and was prepared to send it over. However, he didn't think that he would meet that Xu Longzun halfway. Since the young master was injured and wasn't able to come, he sent me to deliver the Fire Horned Python. He wants me to convey the message to Sir to take advantage of the freshness and eat it as soon as possible!"

As Chu He spoke, he took out the Fire Horned Python's corpse and placed it on the ground before leaving.

Wu Muyu looked at Wu Kunhu smugly and shouted, "See! Is Brother Su petty?"

Wu Kunhu was furious. "He ate my 9th Grade Wind-Ripping Hou the last time. So what if he gave me a Fire Horned Python? That Wind-Ripping Hou's bones were soaked in wine by that old bastard Su Changqing! He even showed off to me last time!"

The mere mention of this made him angry!

"Didn't he send over such a big one in return! Quickly give me the ginseng!"

"That was a 9th Grade vicious beast! 9th Grade! What kind of crappy thing did he send over! Wu Lie, hurry up and prepare the things. I want to set off!" Wu Kunhu roared.

"It's here!"

Wu Lie held onto Wu Kunhu's mount and ran out with a bag.

"Father, for you!"

Wu Kunhu knew very well that this matter was extremely urgent!

He took the bag, mounted his warhorse, and shouted, "Leave this snake bone for me to soak in wine. You guys can eat the meat!"

With that, he spurred his horse and left!

Wu Muyu turned to Wu Lie and said angrily, "I've never seen you so filial!"

Wu Lie chuckled. "The old man was fooled by me! Look!"

He took out a box from his spirit artifact and opened it. Inside was the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng!

"That's great! I'm leaving to see Brother Su!"

"Me too!"

The Wu siblings headed straight for Su Wen's residence.

Wu Kunhu was still unaware that Wu Lie had placed a large cucumber in the box inside his bag…

On the other side, Zhao Jin was searching the entire city for traces of Xue Qianxun.

After asking around, he realized that this woman had already left the city.

This was a huge blow to Zhao Jin!

It was mainly because he was worried about Su Wen. Due to his anxiety, he did not think too much about it.

But he had allowed someone to take advantage of the situation.

At this moment, Qianxun was hugging the cub.

She had already thrown the cage away.

"Little sweetheart… That's great, I saved 700,000 taels! I can return the money to the sect now!" Xue Qianxun was elated.

"But that guy looks so fierce. He won't come and find me, right?"

"If he comes over… With the Sect Leader here, it shouldn't be a problem."

Hugging the tiger, Qianxun took out a piece of dried meat from her bag and placed it on its nose.

The Blue Cloud Tiger sniffed before eating it in one gulp.

She rubbed against Qianxun.

"Hehehehe…" Qianxun laughed happily.

Zhao Jin returned home with a dejected look.

When he saw Su Wen, he shook his head and said, "Young Master, the Blue Cloud Tiger cub was lost and was taken away by that woman. However, she said that she's from the Bright God Sect, so I'll go and get it back."

Su Wen, who was lying on the bed, shook his head lightly. He had to pretend to be sick until the end, since he did not know if Shen Qiu would still come back.

He did not want to expose himself.

"It'll be fine. The Bright God Sect and the Jade God Sect are known as the Dual Gods of Great Zhou. They can run, but they can't hide. This woman will definitely pay the price…"

Su Wen spoke softly.

At this moment, someone reported.

"Doctor Shen Qiu is here!"

Su Wen smiled. He was glad that he did not try to hasten his recovery.

After Shen Qiu came over, she took Su Wen's pulse and said, "Your body is too Yang in nature and with your internal organs injured, it's not easy for you to recover. Thanks to His Majesty's order, I found a Water Separation Bodhi from the inner vault.

I can use this to refine medicine and it will help you nourish your internal organs. When the time comes, we can slowly adjust your condition, and you shouldn't face any problems."

Speaking to this point, she smiled and said, "It's all thanks to this that I was able to observe your cultivation technique. Although it is strong, it is extremely burdensome to your body. After taking this item, it will nourish your organs and harmonize the Yin and Yang. It will be even more beneficial for your cultivation and you might even be able to advance further.

I also saw that there are still a few Ardent Sun Bear's Gallbladders in the treasury that can help you recover. I will also use it to treat your injuries, it will be even more beneficial to your cultivation."

Since it wasn't hers, she didn't feel bad using it.

Although Su Wen's body was weak, he still reached out to grab Shen Qiu's hand and whispered, "Thank you, Sister Shen…"

At that moment, Wu Muyu and Wu Lie arrived.

The moment she entered, she saw Su Wen grabbing Shen Qiu's hand.

Wu Muyu immediately furrowed her brows and rushed forward. She grabbed Su Wen's hand and placed it on her face as her tears fell.

"Brother Su, are you alright? I was so worried about you… Look, I even brought my father's ten-thousand-year-old ginseng for you."

Shen Qiu raised an eyebrow.

This was good stuff!

She smiled and said, "If we add such stuff, the effect will indeed be better."

"Then I'll have to trouble Sister Shen." Su Wen introduced, "This is Royal Physician Shen Qiu."

Upon hearing that it was the Royal Physician and seeing that Shen Qiu was quite old, Wu Muyu felt much more at ease. He smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Sister Shen. After all, Brother Su's injury makes me feel like a knife is being twisted in my heart."

Su Wen looked at Wu Lie in the meantime.

This fellow had improved a lot! His cultivation had actually reached 7th Grade Earth Rank! He was two grades higher than him!

However, Su Wen also knew that his Vermilion Bird bloodline was not something that these two grades could compare with.

The battle earlier had verified this matter!
