The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 205 Mission (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
"Envoy?"

Su Mu and the others showed puzzled expressions on their faces at the same time.

"What mission? Why me?"

Su Mu asked two questions.

"Early this morning, Huju Pass received a message from the imperial court."

The pacification envoy surnamed Li said, "They said that the imperial court has an envoy who is going to the Demon Court. They appointed you, Captain Su, as the deputy envoy and ordered you to wait for the envoy at Huju Pass and then go out with the envoy."

Su Mu showed a surprised expression on his face.

Xuan Ying still knew about it.

It was a monster that flew at an extremely fast speed.

Li Tingkui said before that some people in the Great Xuan Dynasty like to tame demon pets. This black eagle is a kind of demon pet tamed by the Great Xuan Dynasty.

However, the black eagle is extremely difficult to tame, and even in the Great Xuan Dynasty, there are only a few of them.

Generally speaking, the messages transmitted by the Black Eagle are all very important.

Huju Pass is an important border town, so it is normal for Xuanying and the capital to communicate with each other.

But is it worthy of the Black Eagle to convey matters concerning oneself?
Su Mu complained in his heart.

"It's because Commander Yang sent a memorial to the capital asking for your merits, so the people in the capital know that you, Captain Su, are at Huju Pass. As for why you, Captain Su, were appointed as the deputy envoy, I don't know."

Said the pacification envoy surnamed Li.

"Who is the chief envoy of the mission?"

Su Mu continued to ask.

"It's not clear yet."

The pacification envoy surnamed Li shook his head.

"What about us? Is there any decree for us to join the mission as well?"

Xu Chongyuan asked excitedly.

The pacification envoy surnamed Li still shook his head.

Generally speaking, the Taiping Lieutenants, especially the local Taiping Lieutenants, were not in the eyes of the bigwigs in the court. There were few decrees from the capital that directly involved a specific Taiping Lieutenant...

In other words, Xu Chongyuan and his companions are not worthy...

"Since the imperial court has issued an order, I will stay in Huju Pass and wait."

Su Mu pondered and said, "Senior Brother Xu, you and Junior Brother Zhong should go back to Wuling first to report. I will go back to Wuling after I return from my mission."

"Junior Brother Su, I'd better stay."

Xu Chongyuan thought for a while and said, "Although we don't know why we are going to the Demon Court, the Demon Court is a place full of dangers.

You need help.”

He patted his chest and said, "If not me, who else?"

"Why can't it be me?"

Zhong Guizheng said unconvinced.

"First, someone must return to Wuling to report and tell Old Zhao the route through the Daxing Mountains."

Xu Chongyuan said, "Second, your strength is not as good as mine."

Zhong Guizheng was somewhat helpless. Although he had comprehended the artistic conception of Genshan, his strength was indeed not as good as Xu Chongyuan.

Xu Chongyuan has reached the perfect state of rebirth and has also comprehended a state of artistic conception.

"Need not."

Su Mu laughed dumbly and said, "Senior Brother Xu, it's enough for me to have Ao Qing and Uncle Shi accompany me."

It’s not that he looks down on Xu Chongyuan.

A diplomatic mission does not involve fighting and killing, and under normal circumstances, there is no need to take action.

If we really need to take action, Xu Chongyuan's strength won't be of much use.

If they take action in the Demon Court, Su Mu’s strength won’t be enough to defeat Xu Chongyuan, let alone him.

"Do they have my eloquence?"

Xu Chongyuan said, "There are some things they can't do, but I can."

"My lord, I think Captain Xu is right."

Shi Ziran suddenly interrupted.

Normally, Shi Ziran stood beside Su Mu like a loyal old servant and would not speak casually.

He suddenly spoke now, of course not to show off his presence.

He approached Su Mu and whispered, "I want to go back to Wuling to get the things. It might be better for Captain Xu to stay and help the lord while I'm away."

Su Mu understood.

What Shi Ziran was referring to was the Yang pendant of the Liang Yi pendant.

From the beginning, Su Mu guessed that Yang Pei was in Wuling.

Shi Ziran neither refuted nor admitted it.

Now he clearly admitted it.

After thinking for a moment, he realized that he didn't know how long it would take for this mission to go back and forth.

His Four Symbols Rebirth Art will be fully practiced in half a month. Then, he can try to break through to the True Essence Realm.

The Zhen Yuan Method should indeed be brought with you.

Otherwise, if this mission takes a year or two, and I’m in the Demon Court, where can I find the Zhenyuan Method?

Without the True Essence Method, I would go crazy.

"Then Uncle Shi, Junior Brother Zhong, you two go back to Wuling, and Senior Brother Xu stays and waits for the delegation with me."

Su Mu made a decision and spoke slowly.

"Yes."

Shi Ziran, Xu Chongyuan and Zhong Guizheng said in unison.

…………

After sending Shi Ziran and Zhong Guizheng back home, Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan continued to stay in Huju Pass.

The Taiping Division in Hujuguan is busy with activity.

Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan had no other tasks, so they became the two most idle people in Huju Pass.

Xu Chongyuan made full use of his advantages, going out early and returning late every day, and completely fought with the people from the Taiping Division in Jujuguan.

Su Mu has no interest in socializing, and most of the time he stays in the yard practicing.

Several days passed like this.

On this day, Su Mu was holding a picture of the Lihuo artistic conception and meditating on it. This picture of the Lihuo artistic conception was the one that Luo An Ning had given him.

At this time, Xu Chongyuan rushed in.

He sat directly opposite Su Mu, poured himself a cup of tea without any hesitation, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he said, "Junior Brother Su, I found out!
Guess what the imperial court's delegation wants to do this time?"

Xu Chongyuan has not been busy doing nothing these days. He has been trying to find out everything about the delegation through various channels.

"What do you want to do?"

Su Mu asked very cooperatively.

"Peace talks!"

Xu Chongyuan gritted his teeth, anger flashing in his eyes.

"Damn it, those people in the court are out of their minds. They actually want to negotiate with the Demon Court! This is courting disaster!"

Xu Chongyuan cursed.

Su Mu also frowned. Negotiate with the Demon Court?
Who was so smart to come up with this idea?
Xu Chongyuan is right.

This is courting disaster!

Tiger is not an adjective, it is a noun!

The demon court is much scarier than a tiger.

"I heard that a demon spy from the Demon Court broke into the capital. After the great victory at Huju Pass, the demon spy submitted a letter of credence to the imperial court requesting peace talks. Then those bigwigs agreed to send an envoy to discuss the peace talks."

Xu Chongyuan continued.

Through Xu Chongyuan's vivid description, Su Mu gradually understood the cause and effect.

The Demon Court had already had a series of plans.

The demon army's attack on Huju Pass was definitely not a momentary impulse.

If they were really allowed to capture Huju Pass, the so-called peace talks would become a humiliating treaty.

But now that they have not captured Huju Pass, they are at a disadvantage in the peace talks.

The Demon Court sent out demon scouts in advance. Regardless of whether they could capture Huju Pass or not, they would negotiate with the Daxuan Dynasty.

"How could the Lords agree to this?"

Su Mu frowned.

The Taiping Division has gone through life and death, so how could they agree to negotiate peace with the Demon Court?
"There is no other way. It is said that the Marquis quarreled with those civil officials for a whole day and night."

Xu Chongyuan sighed and said, "I didn't get to know the details, but in the end the marquises agreed."

"Yes, the Lords have agreed."

Just at this moment, Li Tingkui walked in from outside carrying a spear.

"My Lords, there is nothing you can do."

Li Tingkui sighed and said, "The situation in Daxuan is not as good as you see. There are natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the court is under great pressure. With the current situation in Daxuan, it is difficult to support a full-scale war with the demon court. War means death.

The marquises don’t want any more deaths in the Taiping Division.”

Compromise is ultimately unavoidable.

"Boys, if you can work harder, the Taiping Division won't have to swallow its anger."

Li Tingkui said.

Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan fell silent.

Yeah, it’s still not strong enough.

If the Taiping Division had a few more marquises, would it still need to be afraid of the Demon Court?
"Master Li, why did you let me serve as the deputy envoy of the delegation?"

Su Mu asked slowly.

This has always been a question in his mind.

He was only a fifth-rank Taiping Captain. Although he was somewhat famous, it would normally not be his turn to be involved in such a major event involving two countries.

The Taiping Division has so many pacification envoys, and the main office is even more full of talented people.

Looking at Daxuan, a fifth-rank Taiping Captain is really nothing.

"Because you are the strongest Taiping Captain below the Zhenyuan Realm."

Li Tingkui said in a deep voice.

Su Mu: "..."

"Master Li, please don't flatter me to death."

Su Mu said.

"I'm stating a fact."

Li Tingkui said, "This time we are on a mission to the Demon Court, we have to go deep into the wilderness. In the wilderness, the aura of demons is everywhere. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the impact will be.

The Taiping Division has mysterious soldiers that can resist demonic auras, but they are only effective against warriors below the Zhenyuan realm.

Therefore, those above the True Yuan Realm cannot join this delegation.

And below the True Yuan Realm, you are the strongest person in the Taiping Division."

Su Mu finally understood why he was asked to serve as the deputy envoy of the delegation.

"Who is the chief envoy of the mission?"

Su Mu continued to ask.

"The chief envoy of the delegation is Zhu Jiuyuan, the president of Bailu Academy. He is also the current imperial tutor and the Grand Secretary of Longtu Pavilion."

Li Tingkui said, "He is the leader of the civil officials."

In the Daxuan Dynasty, the Taiping Division belonged to the pro-war faction, while most of the civil officials belonged to the pro-peace faction.

"Your mission this time is to protect Zhu Jiuyuan."

Li Tingkui said in a deep voice, "As for the specific matters of the peace talks, you don't need to interfere."

"clear."

Su Mu nodded and said, "Deputy envoy, that is, the head of security."

This doesn't matter.

He only knew that a new identity of Deputy Envoy (Temporary) had been added to his system panel.

This identity, like the temporary commander of Wuling City, has no basic points, only performance points, and there is no upper limit!

For the sake of points, he will definitely complete this mission brilliantly.

"As long as I am not dead, I guarantee that Lu Jiuyuan will not die."

Su Mu said affirmatively.

It’s not easy to kill Su Mu. First, you have to kill Ao Qing.

Over the past few days, Ao Qing has been constantly devouring his blood and has now become a peak fifth-level monster.

In a while, I might be able to break through to the sixth level.

This is Su Mu’s biggest trump card.

It is hard to say whether the Taiping Division agreed to let Su Mu serve as the deputy envoy of the delegation because of Ao Qing's consideration.

Anyway, Su Mu was very satisfied with this arrangement.

If everything goes well, he might be able to earn enough points this time to elevate the four realms of mind to perfection.

"By the way, Master Li, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Su Mu looked up and asked.

Li Tingkui is also a very busy man, it is impossible for him to come and talk to me about this.

"From now until the delegation arrives."

Li Tingkui nodded, his expression solemn, and said in a deep voice, "I will guide you in your cultivation."

"Teach me how to practice?"

Su Mu showed a look of surprise on his face.

Li Tingkui's eyes fell on the artistic conception map in Su Mu's hand, and he said, "The artistic conception map is dead, and my vision is derived from the two artistic conceptions of thunder and fire.

You don’t need to look at the Lihuo artistic conception diagram, I will show you the Lihuo artistic conception myself.”

“Before I go on the mission, I will try my best to help you raise your Lihuo state of mind to perfection.

With a satisfactory state of mind, you can be safer when you leave the retreat this time."

Xu Chongyuan looked envious.

Being taught step by step by a powerful person who has comprehended the vision is an opportunity that many warriors would envy.

"If you have nothing to do, you can watch."

Li Tingkui glanced at Xu Chongyuan and said indifferently.

You can drive a duck alone or a flock of ducks together.

"Thank you, Master Li!"

Xu Chongyuan said happily.

Before Su Mu agreed, Li Tingkui had already strode into the yard.

"Look carefully, this is the perfect state of Lihuo!"

The spear in Li Tingkui's hand trembled.

boom!
In an instant, several fire dragons rose up, and the entire yard was engulfed in flames in an instant.

The flame seemed to have life and did not damage anything in the yard.

Under Li Tingkui's control, they constantly change into various forms.

Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan put aside all distractions and watched attentively.

…………

call.

The flame disappeared in Li Tingkui's palm like a whirlwind.

He looked at Su Mu with a questioning look in his eyes.

Su Mu shook his head slightly.

Li Tingkui showed a look of doubt on his face, and he was now a little doubtful of himself.

"It shouldn't be like this. Is it because I taught you badly?"

Li Tingkui muttered to himself.

For many days, he continued to demonstrate the Lihuo state of mind in front of Su Mu.

He felt like he was using all his strength to demonstrate it every day. He was never this tired even when he fought monsters.

Although he was not as good at speaking as those civil officials, he told Su Mu all his understanding of the Lihuo artistic conception.

With Su Mu's comprehension, he should be able to comprehend the perfect state of Lihuo.

Even the Taiping captain named Xu Chongyuan had comprehended the artistic conception of Lihuo.

"What else don't you understand?"

Li Tingkui couldn't help but ask.

“There’s nothing I don’t understand.”

Su Mu shrugged.

"Then why hasn't your Lihuo state of mind been completed yet?"

Li Tingkui asked in confusion.

Su Mu was speechless.

What was he going to say?
Not enough points?
He could say that his understanding was actually not as good as Xu Chongyuan's.

But no one would believe such words.

"How about you, Master Li, show me again? I feel like I'm close to a breakthrough."

Su Mu said.

"No need to demonstrate. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Li Tingkui waved his hands. He had no strength left, and he still had to think carefully about what was wrong with his teaching. Why couldn't Su Mu, a man with such intelligence, teach him?
