The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 302: Unbeatable (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
A winding river flows through the mountains, with cliffs on both sides of the river.

A barge was moored on the river bank.

A pier was actually carved out on the original cliff, followed by thousands of steps leading directly into the depths of the mountains and forests.

On the steps, dozens of huge monsters were carrying loads of ore on their shoulders and hands and transporting them to the barge.

The so-called pontoon is a huge flat-bottomed ship, known as a floating warehouse.

In places where people rely on water for their livelihood, this type of barge is mostly used to transport heavy objects.

At this moment, the barge is already full of ore.

A fox monster with snow-white hair and wearing a silk dress was standing on the barge watching the busy monsters. Next to it stood a monster with a human body and a donkey head.

The monsters in the Demon Court, Tushan Hanyu and Lu Hu, unexpectedly appeared here.

"Master Tushan, why should we help a human?"

Lu Hu asked in a low voice.

"for money."

Tushan Hanyu said, "Where do you think my 90,000 taels of gold came from?"

Speaking of ninety thousand taels of gold, Tushan Hanyu gritted her teeth, and the fox's face was full of hatred.

Ninety thousand taels of gold!

That was all its hard-earned money, but it was taken away by that bastard Su Mu!
Whenever he thought about it, his heart started bleeding.

"More importantly, the internal strife in Daxuan is beneficial to our Demon Court."

Tushan Hanyu continued, "The King of Daxuan paid a large sum of money to ask us for help, so we have no reason not to help.

He said that if he succeeded, he would cede the three states to the Demon Court."

"He has such a beautiful idea."

Lu Hu said sarcastically, "The Saint is about to accomplish his mission. By then, the entire Daxuan will be the territory of our Demon Court. With the land of the Three States, who will we look down upon?"

"Of course, the Great Xuan Land will belong to our Demon Court sooner or later. However, if Prince Su makes a fuss, regardless of whether he succeeds or not, the national strength of the Great Xuan will be greatly damaged. At that time, the resistance to our Demon Court's sending troops will be less."

Tushan Hanyu said, "This time the Thirteenth Prince died, and we took advantage of the chaos to escape from Songjiang Prefecture. This is a good opportunity to help Prince Su.

Lu Hu, I brought you here because I want you to stay here and cooperate with the people of King Su to mine iron ore. He wants to use these ores to forge weapons. This is a matter of great importance, and I don't trust others. "

"Dare you not to die?"

Lu Hu had an expression on his face that showed a gentleman would die for his friend, and said in a deep voice.

It seems that it is completely devoted to Tushan Hanyu, but only Lu Hu himself knows what it is thinking in its heart.

"Master Tushan, where are you going? Are you going back to Songjiang Prefecture?"

Lu Hu asked curiously.

"I'm not going back. I've already learned everything I need to learn. There's no point in going again."

Tushan Hanyu shook his head and said, "I will personally escort this shipload of ore to Prince Su and see if I can get some more benefits from him.

Opportunities are rare, and this is a great opportunity for us to expand our resources.”

"Master Tushan, this is Xiangzhou. If we mine ore here, it won't attract the attention of the Great Xuan court, right?"

Lu Hu asked in a deep voice, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Although this place is some distance away from Songjiang Prefecture, Li Tingkui, the commander of the Xiangzhou Taiping Division, is not someone you can easily mess with.

"Prince Su's people will be responsible for solving these problems. We are only responsible for mining the ore. There are Jindan realm warriors under Prince Su here."

Tushan Hanyu said, "In another month or two, this mine will be fully mined. By then, you can take our people and hide away, waiting for my news."

Tushan Hanyu is full of energy and ambition. Without Bao Lingyun's restraint, she can finally do what she wants.

He provoked internal strife in Daxuan and took away a large amount of Daxuan's resources back to Demon Court. Who can stop Tushan Hanyu from becoming the crown prince of Demon Court?
It is Tushan that contains jade and will definitely become the heir of the Demon Court!
…………

"Is this the mine you mentioned that has not yet been mined?"

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

Meng Wanjun was stunned.

They stood on the top of the mountain. In the distance, there were shadowy figures everywhere. Those figures were obviously mining.

The most important thing is that most of those figures are huge monsters, and only a few are humans.

The monster was actually mining in Xiangzhou. If Meng Wanjun hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was true.

"This is probably why Lord Fu was attacked."

Su Mu narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Someone was stealing iron ore here, and Lord Fu must have discovered it, so he was silenced.

They were afraid that the Taiping Division would find out about this, so when I arrived at Jinshan Township, they wanted to use their old tricks again and kill me first."

"But we have been in Jinshan Township for many days."

Meng Wanjun spoke subconsciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he exchanged glances with several Taiping commanders.

Damn, is this being underestimated?

These bastards, are you sure they can’t find this place?
Then why were they sure that Su Zhenfu could find out as soon as he arrived?

Well, Su Zhenfu’s strength and ability are indeed strong.

But the problem is, if they kill Su Zhenfu, aren’t they afraid of attracting stronger people?
Su Mu just glanced at Meng Wanjun. Why didn't you move? Wasn't it obvious if you did?

You are no threat to others.

"There are monsters, and there are people..."

Su Mu did not dwell on these things, but pondered and said, "Who did such a big thing?"

"Su Zhenfu, look over there, there's a boat!"

Meng Wanjun whispered, pointing his finger into the distance.

There is a river like a jade belt winding through the mountains.

There is a large ship parked on the river at this moment.

"Tushan Hanyu?"

Su Mu looked up, a look of surprise on his face.

The features of the white fox were so obvious that he recognized it even from miles away.

There was a flood in Songjiang Prefecture before, and several monsters in the Monster Court went missing. Su Mu thought that Tushan Hanyu took advantage of the chaos to return to the Monster Court, but he didn't expect that it actually ran here.

Is the mining of iron ore related to the demon court?

The demon court came to the heart of Daxuan to steal iron ore?

"wrong!"

Su Mu thought to himself, "Even if the monsters in the Demon Court dig out the ore, it is almost impossible to transport the iron ore from here to the Demon Court."

Xiangzhou is thousands of miles away from the Demon Court, and there are important border towns guarding in between.

It was almost impossible to transport iron ore across the border.

"Could it be that the Demon Court is setting up a base behind enemy lines?"

Su Mu frowned. Does Liang Jinglue have this ability?

Could the Demon Court alone accomplish such a large-scale operation in Xiangzhou?
It was beyond Su Mu's expectation that so many monsters could sneak into the Demon Court, and it was absolutely impossible that so many ores could be dug out without alerting the Xiangzhou government.

“This mine has been mostly dug out, and it’s definitely not something that can be done in a day or two.

They have been mining here for so many days, and no one in Xiangzhou has noticed it?"

Su Mu frowned.

"The main reason is that Commander Li is not in Xiangzhou all year round..."

Meng Wanjun said weakly, "Didn't Lord Fu find out? That's why he was murdered."

A look of shame appeared on his face. No matter how you look at it, it was not a glorious thing.

Su Mu was not going to hold anyone accountable. The situation before him was very clear. Someone from Daxuan must have colluded with the monsters from the Demon Court to steal the iron mine.

This place is remote, transportation is inconvenient, and someone deliberately covered it up, so no one has discovered it before.

Of course, Li Tingkui, the commander of the Xiangzhou Taiping Division, has an unstable temperament, and his long-term absence from Xiangzhou must have had some impact.

For some unknown reason, the monster here was discovered by the villagers of Jinshan Township and then reported to the Taiping Division.

Fu Qingzhu personally led people to investigate and discovered the incident. Later, Fu Qingzhu and his companions were killed.

Then he came.

The other party may feel that he can no longer hide his guilt, so he is ready to kill himself as well.

Su Mu was guessing in his heart, he didn't know. Although his guess was not completely accurate, it was mostly right.

The reason why the villagers of Jinshan Township discovered the monsters was because the monsters in the Demon Court couldn't help but come out of the mountains and eat a few people.

Otherwise, in the deep mountains where there are few people, it would be really difficult for anyone to discover their existence.

"Su Zhenfu, do you know those people? What are their origins?"

Meng Wanjun changed the subject and said that Commander Li must be responsible for such a big thing, but that was not something a small Taiping lieutenant like him could have any say in.

"These monsters should be from the Demon Court. As for who the humans they are working with are, I don't know."

Su Mu said slowly.

He looked at the big ship on the water, a thoughtful look on his face.

Dig out the iron ore and transport it by water...

It is actually very simple to find out the identities of those humans. We just need to find out where the iron ore was transported.

"Captain Meng, I have a mission for you. Sneak onto that ship and find out where the iron ore was transported to."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"What about Su Zhenfu you?"

Meng Wanjun asked without thinking.

"I'll lead Master Fu away."

Su Mu said slowly, "We have been exposed. Someone must divert their attention."

"I--"

Meng Wanjun wanted to volunteer.

Su Mu shook his head, "You don't have that ability."

Meng Wanjun was a little depressed, it was indeed the case.

These people didn't even bother to kill him to silence him...

He was considered very mediocre among the Taiping school lieutenants, and he could not lead Lord Fu away.

"I will give you a chance, and you can take advantage of the chaos to get on board."

Su Mu said.

Meng Wanjun also wanted to ask Su Mu how to give them a chance.

Then he saw Su Mu leap down, step into the air, and walk straight to the iron mine that was almost emptied.

Meng Wanjun: “…”

Just like that, just walked out?
This can really attract their attention.

"Meng Tou'er——"

Several Taiping captains whispered.

"Let's do it. Don't let Su Zhenfu's sacrifice be in vain!"

Meng Wanjun said with a serious expression.

Several Taiping captains rolled their eyes involuntarily and asked, "Can you speak?"

How did it become a sacrifice?
With Su Zhenfu's strength, without us as a burden, can't he just leave whenever he wants?
Can these guys keep Su Zhenfu?
Didn’t you see that Su Zhenfu can fly?

Complaining in their hearts, several people endured the pain in their bodies, bent over, followed Meng Wanjun, and moved towards the big ship.

…………

Tushan Hanyu and Lu Hu were talking when suddenly, a man appeared from a distant mountain. The man actually stepped into the air and walked towards the direction of the mine.

They both widened their eyes and opened their mouths in shock.

"Su-Su Mu!"

Lu Hu was trembling all over, and his voice was a little shaky.

"Why is he here?"

Tushan Hanyu's defense was also somewhat broken.

Isn't Su Mu the pacification envoy of the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture? This place is not under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture, so why did he come here?
Oh my God, did you send Su Mu specifically to make things difficult for me?
Is this what humans say, when God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles and bones work hard?

So that's why God sent Su Mu specifically to make things difficult for me, Tushan Hanyu?

Since you gave birth to Tushan Hanyu, why did you give birth to Su Mu?
"Not afraid, not afraid."

Tushan Hanyu's chest rose and fell violently, and he patted his chest, as if to comfort himself, "There is a Jindan realm expert from King Su here, no matter how strong Su Mu is, he is only in the Zhenyuan realm.

If he dares to come here, he will die!"

Although he said so, the panic in Tushan Hanyu's eyes still exposed his true thoughts.

Su Mu is too evil. Even if there is a Jindan realm warrior here, it still doesn't feel safe at all.

"Let's go, sail!"

Tushan Hanyu said in a sharp voice.

Lu Hu was overjoyed and hurriedly urged the boatman to start the boat.

"Master Li, the enemy is attacking. Let's escort this batch of ore away first!"

The big ship started moving slowly, and Tushan Hanyu did not forget to shout loudly.

A cold snort was heard from the mine.

"I am here, why panic?"

Before he finished speaking, a tall and thin figure soared into the sky and headed straight towards Su Mu.

Swish!
When Su Mu was still some distance away, the other party had already attacked.

A sword light more than ten feet long illuminated the sky and pierced Su Mu directly.

The sword energy spans eighty thousand miles, and the sword light chills fourteen states.

A powerful person in the Jindan realm!
The moment the other party attacked, Su Mu had already seen the other party's strength.

Moreover, the opponent's sword was so powerful that he was actually a swordsman.

This person's sword skills are much stronger than Yang Zheng, the sword sect disciple that Su Mu met before.

Even Fu Qingzhu, after he became a demon, was not as powerful as this person.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Su Mu did not dare to hesitate at all.

In an instant, Su Mu swung out with a knife.

Vision, Fire and Wind Cauldron!

As the flames rose, a giant three-legged tripod appeared in front of Su Mu, spinning and crashing forward.

puff!
With a slight sound, the giant tripod was easily torn apart by the sword energy, and then the sword energy continued to move forward and hit Su Mu's chest fiercely.

In an instant, blood splattered, and Su Mu's figure fell from the sky like a cannonball, hitting the ground heavily, creating a bottomless pit.

On the water, the big ship had already started moving. When Tushan Hanyu and Lu Hu saw this scene, they both showed excitement on their faces.

I never thought that you, Su Mu, would have this day.

What they didn't notice was that several figures emerged from the water and quietly climbed onto the ship.

Meng Wanjun and others looked towards the shore, and they also saw the scene where Su Mu was chopped down by a sword.

"It's okay. Su Zhenfu is not afraid of being chopped. Lord Fu chopped him with a knife before, but he was fine..."

Meng Wanjun comforted his men with his eyes.

Several Taiping captains didn't want to pay any attention to him and each of them went to find a hiding place.

Can it be alright? Su Zhenfu had endured it all alone. They couldn't let Su Zhenfu down and had to complete the mission.
