The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 311 Confidence (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
"I don't want to see them leave Yuzhou alive."

A low voice was heard from the study in Prince Su's Mansion.

Then countless powerful figures began to move.

As soon as Dongfang Liuyun and Prince Gong Li Chuan disappeared, the Prince Su's Mansion reacted immediately.

After the Dragon Yuan Pill in the warehouse was lost, it took only half an hour for the city gates to be closed and a large number of fully armed soldiers began to arrest people throughout the city.

Dongfang Liuyun appeared and forced his way out of the city gate before the troops of Prince Su's Mansion had completed their deployment.

Just as he thought, the people from Prince Su's Mansion immediately began to chase him.

He led the people away, and the search in the city naturally slowed down, giving Prince Gong Li Chuan more opportunities.

"Horse, oh horse, take this back to your master."

In the forest, Dongfang Liuyun tied a package on the back of a horse with demon blood, and then spoke to the horse.

The owner of this demon horse is Mo Xuesong, the current genius of the Beast Taming Sect.

Its speed is several times faster than that of an ordinary horse, and it can understand human language.

The Beast Taming Sect's beast taming skills are indeed very useful in some aspects.

Just like now, Dongfang Liuyun is being hunted down by people from Prince Su’s Mansion, and he has no way to bring the Dragon Yuan Pill back to Xiangzhou, but this demon horse can.

The people from Prince Su's Mansion were chasing him and would definitely not notice a demon horse.

Dongfang Liuyun was using himself to hold back the pursuers, buying a glimmer of hope for Prince Gong Li Chuan and also for Long Yuandan.

Only if he led away the pursuers, the demon horse would have a chance to deliver the Dragon Yuan Pill to Su Mu in time.

As for him, Dongfang Liuyun is not a weakling either, and he is very good at escaping.

…………

The words are divided into two parts.

In Xiangzhou, Su Mu did not place all his hopes on Prince Gong Li Chuan and Dongfang Liuyun.

After the two went to Yuzhou, Su Mu went to the provincial capital of Xiangzhou.

Although Li Tingkui's whereabouts were unknown, there were still several pacification envoys in Xiangzhou Prefecture.

This is not just his problem, so he naturally won't carry it alone.

I have the background, why not use it?
The entire Xiangzhou is his supply depot.

When he arrived at the Xiangzhou Taiping Division Yamen and told Su Mu what had happened, all kinds of elixirs for replenishing true essence filled Su Mu's room.

The pacification envoys of Xiangzhou Prefecture even took out their treasured Zhenyuan Pills.

Su Mu found Fu Qingzhu, which saved face for their Xiangzhou Taiping Division. They already owed Su Mu a favor.

What's more, the illegal mining of iron ore is happening within the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou provincial government, and they have not discovered it for such a long time, which is dereliction of duty.

Su Mu found out the truth about this matter, which solved a problem for them.

It is reasonable and necessary for them to help Su Mu with all their strength.

In fact, while Su Mu was increasing his strength in Xiangzhou Prefecture, the pacification envoys of the Taiping Division of Xiangzhou Prefecture had personally taken action and led people to Niujiao Mountain to try to rescue Meng Wanjun.

If they could rescue Meng Wanjun, they would kill him with lightning speed, and Su Mu would not have to take the risk of going alone.

"There are indeed people on Niujiao Mountain."

Mo Xuesong, Wu Yiqi, Yang Zheng and Huo Zhenting did not leave, but temporarily lived in the Xiangzhou provincial capital with Su Mu.

One day, Huo Zhenting walked in from outside and said to Su Mu, "But the terrain of Niujiao Mountain is special. There is only one way up and down the mountain. One man can block the way of ten thousand men.

That man held Captain Meng's life in his hands, so no one dared to act rashly.

Unless one can fly directly up the cliff, anyone who wants to go up will definitely alarm that person."

This is the information that was discovered by the people of the Taiping Division.

If they wanted to save Meng Wanjun's life, they could not attack the mountain by force.

"Haven't you contacted Commander Li yet?"

Su Mu asked.

"No."

Huo Zhenting shook his head and said, "This Xiangzhou Taiping Division is really interesting. Fu Qingzhu used to be responsible for contacting Li Tingkui, but now that Fu Qingzhu is dead, the remaining pacification envoys are unable to contact Li Tingkui.

They used your Taiping Division to send the message out, but who knows when Li Tingkui will get the message."

There was a hint of gloating in Huo Zhenting's tone.

He is not from the Taiping Division, and he stayed here to see if there are any business opportunities.

In fact, his idea was similar to that of Prince Gong Li Chuan. They could attack the mountain directly. Meng Wanjun's life could be exchanged for the enemy's life, which was not a loss from a business perspective.

That is the Taiping Division. They obviously have the strength, but sometimes they are just too effeminate.

"I say that you Taiping Division are just being fussy about what you do. At times like this, everyone should just rush forward."

Huo Zhenting curled his lips and said, "Because of the hostages, you are restraining your hands and feet. Isn't this telling others clearly what your weakness is?"

“The situation was different because he did not endanger others, so we would have tried to rescue Meng Wanjun, otherwise the measures we would have taken would have been different.

What they think is a weak spot may not really be the Taiping Division’s weak spot.”

Su Mu said lightly.

When it is time to sacrifice, the Taiping Division will not hesitate at all, and when it is not time to sacrifice, the Taiping Division will not let any of its brothers go.

Now the other party is just threatening Su Mu to go up the cliff with Meng Wanjun's life. In this case, there is no need for the Taiping Division to take measures that will result in both destruction and loss of both parties.

"Su Mu, do you think something happened to Da Xuan recently?"

Huo Zhenting suddenly muttered, "Do you have any news to share with me? Why are all the commanders of your Taiping Division missing?"

Any change is a business opportunity for him.

"I'm just a small pacification officer. What big things do you think I should know?"

Su Mu said unhappily, "If there's nothing important, go out first. I still need to practice."

After driving Huo Zhenting out, Su Mu continued to take drugs.

He casually glanced at the system panel and saw that there were already 260,000 points.

To achieve perfection in the Art of Infinite True Essence of Heaven and Earth, one needs six hundred thousand points.

There is still a gap of 340,000 points.

Su Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It’s not easy to practice. He almost vomited from taking drugs.

…………

Another day passed, and there were only two days left until the full moon night.

There has been no response to the memorial submitted by Prince Gong Li Chuan to the court until now.

Li Tingkui still couldn't be contacted.

The Xiangzhou Taiping Division asked for help from the General Office, but the reply it received was that the General Office was unable to spare any manpower and that the Xiangzhou Taiping Division had to resolve the problem itself.

The people from Xiangzhou Taiping Division attempted a surprise attack.

In the end, only a few fingers of Meng Wanjun were brought back.

Now all hopes fall on Su Mu.

Only Su Mu can rescue Meng Wanjun.

At this moment, a demon horse appeared outside the Xiangzhou provincial capital.

As soon as Mo Xuesong received the demon horse, he ran to Su Mu.

Su Mu placed the Dragon Yuan Pill on the table, then picked up a piece of cloth covered with words and read it quickly.

The cloth was obviously the lining of the clothes, and it should have been torn off in a hurry. The handwriting on it was very sloppy, and it can be seen how anxious Dongfang Liuyun was when he wrote it.

"Prince Su Li Shu, it turned out to be him."

After reading Dongfang Liuyun's message, Su Mu's face became solemn and he said in a deep voice.

"Yuzhou borders Xiangzhou. If Prince Su Li Shu rebels, Xiangzhou will be the first to be affected."

Su Mu said slowly.

"Is Prince Su crazy? He is the most powerful prince among all the princes of Daxuan, and he is likely to become the crown prince in the future. Why would he rebel?"

Mo Xuesong frowned.

"Because of time." Su Mu said, "He is already fifty years old and doesn't want to wait any longer."

Although the current Emperor Daxuan is already in his seventies or eighties, he is also a warrior and it would be easy for him to live another twenty or thirty years.

By that time, Prince Su Li Shu himself would be in his seventies or eighties. What would be the point of inheriting the throne?
If Emperor Daxuan was strong enough, Prince Su Li Shu might not have had any other ideas, but the current emperor's character is too weak, making it difficult for him to have no other ideas.

In fact, if Prince Su Li Shu had not colluded with the monsters in the Demon Court, Su Mu also felt that changing the emperor might be a good thing for Daxuan.

"It is very likely that the memorial submitted by Prince Gong was intercepted by someone, otherwise the court would not have heard anything until now."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

There must be many people in the court who have defected to Prince Su Li Shu. It may not be easy to send the news of his treason to the current emperor.

Su Mu thought for a while and thought that perhaps he could only inform a few marquises of the news first and let them come up with a solution.

The Taiping Division is only responsible for slaying demons and eliminating evil, but now it even has to deal with matters of treason.

The world is truly experiencing a turbulent time.

Su Mu's eyes fell on the Dragon Yuan Pill that Dongfang Liuyun asked the demon horse to bring back.

It would be fine if you, the Li people, were just fighting for power, but you have to drag the whole world into the war.

Trying to start a war just for one's own selfish desires, how is this different from being a demon?
"Save your life in troubled times, and then build your career."

Su Mu said to himself that to achieve this, strength is the foundation.

With these Dragon Essence Pills, there will be no problem in improving the Qiankun Infinite True Essence Art to perfection!

As for other things, let’s talk about them after our strength has been improved!
…………

On a cliff that looks like a bull's horn.

Meng Wanjun lay there weakly, without even the strength to curse.

These days, Li Shisanlang only gave him some water to keep him alive, and there was definitely no food.

Even though he is a warrior at the stage of transcendence, he is now weak and powerless.

But he still glared at Li Shisanlang.

If eyes could kill, then Li Shisanlang would have died countless times already.

"I've given you so many days to prepare, please don't let me down."

Li Shisanlang looked at the bright moon in the sky and muttered to himself.

Of course he knew what the consequences would be after issuing the challenge.

But he is not afraid.

He just wanted to give Su Mu time to prepare, otherwise it would be meaningless to kill Su Mu who was not in his peak condition.

He also wanted Su Mu to put some pressure on him.

He, Li Shisanlang, has reached the peak of Zhenyuan Realm.

He needed pressure to help him break through to the Jindan stage.

During this period of time, people from the Taiping Division had been constantly trying to attack. As he was dealing with them, he could vaguely feel that the bottleneck of the breakthrough had loosened.

This time, if he can survive, he will definitely become a powerful Jindan realm master.

What he needs now is a battle with a top strong man.

Fighting to support the war is the path that Li Shisanlang takes.

He wanted to defeat Su Mu at his peak state, and then break into the Jindan realm in one fell swoop!

At this moment, under the moonlight, a person walked on the moon.

Meng Wanjun's eyes suddenly widened, his breathing became a little rapid, and his eyes became a little moist.

Why, why are you coming?

Meng Wanjun was just a Taiping lieutenant, his death was not a pity.

It's not worth taking such a big risk for him.

"Master Su, don't worry about me, bring some people here and kill him!"

Meng Wanjun suddenly felt a surge of strength and shouted loudly.

"Su Mu, you are finally here."

Li Shisanlang stood up, full of fighting spirit, looked at Su Mu who was coming up the mountain, and said in a deep voice.

"I'm here, you can let me go now."

Su Mu said lightly.

"Su——"

Before Meng Wanjun could utter a word, Li Shisanlang had already cut his rope with a sword.

"You ant, you don't deserve to die under Li's sword, get out of here."

He kicked Meng Wanjun out.

Su Mu raised his hand to catch Meng Wanjun, and his expression became a little strange.

He released Meng Wanjun now. Isn't he afraid that he would turn around and leave, and then bring a large army to wipe him out?
Looking at the other party's eager look, Su Mu understood that Li Shisanlang was a martial arts fanatic. He thought that everyone was like him and regarded fighting as something noble.

He advocates fighting alone and thinks Su Mu should also have the dignity of a strong man.

Does Su Mu have it?

Su Mu smiled.

"Captain Meng, go down the mountain. Someone will meet you at the foot of the mountain."

Su Mu spoke.

"Master Su, you——"

"Now that I'm here, I'll test this Shisan Li's strength. Don't worry, he can't kill me."

Su Mu said confidently.

With a swing of his arm, a gentle force sent Meng Wanjun out.

"Li Shisanlang, Prince Su is guilty of treason and deserves death. It is not too late for you to turn back now. If you insist on not changing your ways, do not blame me for not warning you."

Su Mu spoke slowly.

"Enough of nonsense, let's fight!"

Li Shisanlang snorted coldly, took a step forward, and a fierce aura suddenly rose from his body.

The shadow of a huge sword slowly appeared behind him.

Bright lights appeared in the air, which were caused by sword energy cutting through the air.

Sword repair!

This Li Shisanlang is actually also a sword cultivator.

"Su Mu, you used Chen Beixuan's sword intent to kill my master. I will use my sword intent to kill you and avenge my master."

Li Shisanlang said coldly.

He turned out to be Li Daren's disciple.

Su Mu raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"You're not even at the Dan realm, who gave you the confidence to think you can kill me?"

Su Mu said lightly.

"Killing you is easy."

Li Shisanlang said confidently.

He took a step forward and swung his sword. Thousands of sword energies broke through the air and instantly enveloped Su Mu.

Su Mu pressed the hilt of the knife, and at the moment the sword energy fell, the Thunder Blade was unsheathed like lightning.

"break!"

The sound echoed in the air.

As the swords and sabers collided, a fiery three-legged tripod was reflected in Li Shisanlang's pupils. Then he saw the sword energy in the sky dissipate. He was involuntarily knocked backwards by a huge force.
