The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 139: Shocking Changes (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
Outside Wuling City.

The outskirts of Daxing Mountain.

On a gentle hillside, several Taiping commanders dressed in brocade robes and black shirts stood side by side.

On the official road not far away, a team of fully armed city defense troops and Taiping cavalry slowly moved forward.

They came from the city and set up temporary defenses.

The remnants of the He family are still evil and are causing chaos.

All the villages outside the city were threatened, and the Taiping Division could not take care of all the villages, so the city defense forces were ordered to come to assist.

"Junior Brother Su, do you think we are too cowardly?"

On the hillside, Zhang Chenchen suddenly spoke.

"Senior Sister Zhang, you are too kind. Why would I think so?"

Su Mu shook his head and denied it.

After these days of contact, Su Mu also discovered that their immediate superior Lin Qihuan was basically a hands-off boss, while Zhang Chenchen was like the steward of their team.

She has been reconciling the relationships among everyone in this team and trying her best to maintain the integrity of the team.

Sometimes Ding Shiyun and Liu Yang would joke and call Zhang Chenchen "deputy captain".

"Outsiders think that our Taiping Division is very powerful, but in fact, we have suffered a lot of humiliation."

Zhang Chenchen sighed and said, "Monsters, demons, and even the corrupt officials in the court can make us angry.

Like this time, I also wanted to lure out the remnants of the He family, but there was no way. The enemy was in the open, while I was in the dark, and we were not as strong as them.

The Taiping Division kills demons and evildoers and guards a region, but sometimes, they really can't do whatever they want.

If we do whatever we want, then these villages, Wuling City, and even the Daxuan Dynasty will have to pay the price.

The old people all say that peace is the beginning of peace, and peace should not be allowed to meet peace.

After entering the Taiping Division, the first step is to get rid of the halo of the Taiping Division and learn to compromise. "

Everyone was silent, even Cong Yuanlong, who usually talked the most.

"Junior Sister Zhang is pessimistic."

Liu Yang looked like he hadn't woken up yet, yawned, and said lazily, "Actually, we're still not strong enough.

People who often go to the gambling table know that as long as your capital is strong, you don’t have to worry about losing.

If we had the strength of a captain or a pacification envoy, there would be no point in compromising!
The remnants of the He family would have been dug out and killed long ago."

Su Mu nodded, his words were rough but his point was valid.

The reason why he did not insist on his own idea but accepted the request to return to the city for help was because he understood his own strength.

He didn't know how many remnants of the He family were still outside the Daxing Mountains, and didn't know how much chaos they could cause, so he was indeed not sure he could deal with them.

After all, the He family is descended from demons and acts in the style of the Demon Sect. They really dare to lure out those powerful monsters from the depths of the Daxing Mountains if they can do it.

"So, brothers, practice well."

Ding Shiyun raised his head and looked at the sky, "Only absolute power can change fate.

"Our Taiping Division is so powerful that it has never relied on privileges, but on our full strength. If our Taiping Division did not have a powerful commander and several top-notch marquises, would we be able to intimidate the demons all over the world?"

Ding Shiyun's tone was somewhat sarcastic, and the demons he was talking about did not simply refer to real demons.

Sometimes, corrupt officials, including those from large sects and factions, do things that are not much better than demons.

"Of the ten strongest people in the world, six are from the Taiping Division. This is the greatest strength of the Taiping Division."

Ding Shiyun said.

"Above the commander, we have six marquises in the Taiping Division. Their realms are unfathomable, and each of them has mastered the vision."

Luo Anning whispered in Su Mu's ear.

She knew that Su Mu didn't know much about these things due to his background.

Su Mu also asked humbly.

There are six marquises in Taiping: Marquis of Jin, Marquis of Sui, Marquis of Yi, Marquis of Lin, Marquis of Mingyi and Marquis of Dayou.

They occupy six seats among the top ten most powerful people in the world and are the mainstay of the Taiping Division.

It is precisely because of their existence that no matter how the court changes, the Taiping Division can always remain unmoved.

It is also because of their existence that the Taiping Division has enough confidence to suppress demons and even those major sects.

Listening to everyone talking about the great achievements of the six marquises of the Taiping Division, Su Mu developed a yearning for it, even though he could not reach that point.

A real man should be like this.

Su Mu said secretly in his heart.

Just as several people were talking.

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from the mountains deep in the Daxing Mountains, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

Then, even the place where they were felt a stronger vibration.

The city defense troops and Taiping Ti cavalry deployed not far away were staggering and almost couldn't stand steadily.

Su Mu looked up with surprise.

Just then I saw mushroom-cloud-shaped smoke rising from the depths of the Daxing Mountains.

He even vaguely saw a towering mountain collapsing and falling apart.

It's just that because the distance was too far, I couldn't see clearly what happened.

But the devastating landslide still made him feel terrified.

In the face of such a landslide, let alone those at the Blood Exchange Realm, even those at the Rebirth Realm or even higher realms would probably be left with no remains.

Su Mu said to himself.

"Did the remnants of the He family do this?"

Cong Yuanlong opened his mouth in shock. Are they going to poke a hole in the sky?

"The He family doesn't have this ability."

Zhong Guizheng shook his head and said, "If they had this ability, Wuling City would have been theirs long ago.

There is a strange phenomenon in the sky, I am afraid something bad has happened."

"Brother Zhong, when did you become a charlatan?"

Cong Yuanlong muttered.

"Brother Zhong is right."

Zhang Chenchen said, “Such a strange phenomenon will definitely disturb the monsters in the mountains.

If the monster gets frightened, it might rush out from the depths of the Daxing Mountains, which is definitely not a good thing."

Although it is unclear what exactly happened deep in the Daxing Mountains, the monsters in the depths of the Daxing Mountains will definitely be affected by such a shocking event.

If things go wrong, a real wave of monsters might even break out.

By then, monsters from the Daxing Mountains will continue to pour in, and the entire Wuling City will face a catastrophic disaster.

"It shouldn't come to that, right?"

Su Mu was secretly shocked and said.

“That’s the worst possible outcome.”

Zhang Chenchen said, "But what is certain is that the pressure we will face will definitely increase greatly."

"Hey, strange phenomena falling from the sky may not necessarily be a bad thing. It may also be that some treasure has appeared in the world."

Ding Shiyun chuckled, "When the mountains collapse and the earth cracks, who knows what natural treasures may be revealed, and there may even be some ores that can be used to refine magical weapons."

"So what? Do you dare to go?"

Liu Yang sneered, "With our little gambling capital, we are not even qualified to sit at the gambling table. Even the boss may not be qualified."

He licked his lips and looked towards the depths of Daxing Mountain with a hint of envy on his face.

"Who said I'm not qualified?"

A voice suddenly sounded. Lin Qihuan's figure appeared in the distance, stepping on the water of Yudai River and rushing over.

"Boss!"

Zhang Chenchen exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't Lord Zhao go to rescue you? Where is he?"

"Do I need help?"

Lin Qihuan landed in front of the group and said proudly, "Those monsters are like chickens and dogs in front of me.

I was delayed for some time because of some other things. "

Zhang Chenchen looked at Lin Qihuan with admiration, little stars twinkling in his eyes.

Su Mu looked at her suspiciously. Could it be that this gentle elder sister liked this style?

Couldn't she tell that Lin Qihuan was bragging?

Didn’t you see that his captain’s uniform had several holes and bloodstains?

It's not as easy as he says.

It turns out that people only see what they want to see.

Zhang Chenchen looked at Lin Qihuan's face, his tone becoming gentler, "Now that you're back, Boss, we feel more confident. We suspect that there are still remnants of the He family around here, so we plan to set up defenses for a while to prevent them from getting desperate and causing chaos.

But now something strange is happening deep in the Daxing Mountains, and we are afraid something big is going to happen.”

"do not be afraid."

Lin Qihuan said lightly.

Just when Su Mu thought Lin Qihuan was going to act big, Lin Qihuan continued speaking.

"Don't be afraid, something big has already happened."

Lin Qihuan said, his expression unexpectedly becoming somewhat serious.

The scariest time for a bad thing is when it is about to happen but has not yet happened.

If it really happens, it won’t be that scary. At least I won’t have to worry so much.

"Just now, Envoy Zhao received news from the headquarters that a marquis had died."

Lin Qihuan said in a deep voice, his tone becoming somewhat heavy.

"what?"

Everyone exclaimed at the same time and their faces changed drastically.

They just mentioned several marquises of the Taiping Division, who are the mainstay of the Taiping Division.

Reducing the number of any marquis would be an unbearable burden for the Taiping Division.

"It's not clear what the situation is right now, but the headquarters is in chaos."

Lin Qihuan said in a deep voice, “The pacification envoys from all regions must go to the main government office immediately to deal with this matter together.

I will also accompany Envoy Zhao to the capital."

"Ah? Captain, now that you're gone, what are we going to do?"

Zhang Chenchen's face changed drastically.

"It's not like I won't be back."

Lin Qihuan asked doubtfully.

"I did not mean that."

Zhang Chenchen quickly explained, "I mean, something has happened deep in the Daxing Mountains. If some monsters emerge, we may not be able to handle it without you, Captain."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Lin Qihuan sighed, "If the main office is in chaos, then the whole world will be in chaos. Things there are more important and I am indispensable.

Regarding the affairs of Wuling City, Governor Zhao has asked the City Lord's Mansion to fully cooperate, including the four major families - oh, now it's the three major families, and they will all fully cooperate with the Taiping Division.

If there is a demonic riot, first move the villagers outside the city into the city, and then defend the city until we return."

Although he was talking about very serious things, Su Mu was still speechless.

He's just a captain, and he doesn't need you?

However, Su Mu also knew that the death of the Marquis of Taipingsi was indeed a big event. If it was not handled properly, the whole world might fall into turmoil.

Not only those demons, but also the restless large sects and factions will definitely take the opportunity to jump out and cause trouble.

"The strange phenomenon from the sky is to cause the Marquis's fall, but it won't necessarily lead to a demonic chaos."

Lin Qihuan said in a deep voice, "Wuling City has high walls and deep fortresses, so it can resist the monsters. After Zhao Zhenfushi and I go there, there will be other captains left to guard Wuling City. Nothing serious will happen. Just take care of yourselves."

"Junior Sister Luo, Senior Sister Zhang, and Captain Lin..."

Su Mu whispered, turned his head and saw Luo An Ning's confused look, and laughed in his heart.

It would be strange if Miss Luo could see through such gossip.

"what?"

Luo Anning said doubtfully.

"nothing."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "I mean, if the monsters in Daxing Mountain riot, the remnants of the He family will not be spared."

"There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned."

Luo An Ning nodded and said seriously, "They just don't understand this truth. Demons are our common enemy. If we can't resist the demons, all the benefits they have fought for will be gone."

Su Mu smiled somewhat helplessly. He just said it casually, but Miss Luo still went higher.

"Boss, when are you leaving? Before you leave, remember to prepare a few more pieces of clothing, and bring more healing pills..."

Zhang Chenchen instructed tenderly.

Lin Qihuan was a straight man, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go now, those are just small matters.

This time I, Lin Qihuan, will go to the main yamen and turn the tide and become famous in one battle!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away on the waves, leaving without even returning to Wuling City.

Everyone's expression became very solemn, only Cong Yuanlong laughed heartlessly twice.

"One day, sooner or later, I will be as handsome as our boss."

Cong Yuanlong looked at Lin Qihuan's back as he walked away on the waves with a look of envy on his face.

Su Mu glanced at him and finally understood the source of Cong Yuanlong's unreliability.

Instead of learning the good things, I choose to learn to be extravagant.

"My fellow apprentices, follow the captain's orders. First, evacuate the nearby villagers, and then we will split up to investigate the situation nearby."

It was not until Lin Qihuan's figure disappeared that Zhang Chenchen withdrew his gaze, calmed his mind, and spoke.

"Although the worst may not happen, the absence of the governor and the captain means Wuling City is at its most empty. We must be prepared to deal with the demonic chaos."

Zhang Chenchen said seriously.

"If a demonic rebellion really breaks out, it will be difficult for us, the Taiping Division, to hold on with our own strength. I suggest that we unite all the forces that can be united."

Su Mu pondered and said, "The body-tempering warriors in the gangs in the outer city are also a force that can be utilized."

"Indeed."

Zhang Chenchen nodded, “Junior Brother Su, you are from the outer city, so you are more familiar with the situation in the outer city.

In this way, you go back to the city first and gather those body-tempering warriors in the outer city.

Junior Sister Luo, you go back with Junior Brother Su. You are more familiar with the City Lord's Mansion. You will be responsible for helping Junior Brother Su resolve matters at the local government level.

The captain said that extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. From now on, until the governor and the captain return, all warriors in Wuling City must obey the orders of our Taiping Division. "

"Yes."

Su Mu and Luo An Ning responded.
