"Kill him."

Su Mu waved his hand.

Everyone in the Taiping Division raised their swords without hesitation.

Swish!
Heads fell one by one.

The Pure Land Sect has committed many evil things and deserves to be put to death.

They will not show any mercy when killing such people.

"Hou Wuque is not short of money. The price Prince Su paid to bribe him must be quite high. Are you really not tempted?"

Dongfang Liuyun came close to Su Mu and whispered.

"Hou Wuque is still alive. If you are interested, I will hand him over to you and you can go get the things back."

Su Mu said lightly.

"Forget it then."

Mo Xuesong was about to make a move when he heard Dongfang Liuyun say, "Our mission is to escort Prince Su, so we shouldn't create any unnecessary complications."

Mo Xuesong looked regretful.

You don't lack money, but I do.

I have the entire Beast Taming Sect to support behind me.

However, he also understood that the most important thing now was to escort Prince Su.

If this mission fails, it won't be worth it even if you get some silver.

He is now the Pacification Commissioner of the Taiping Division. What is important is to take things slow and steady and not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.

Mo Xuesong could still clearly distinguish this point.

"What did he do? Kill him?"

Dongfang Liuyun looked at Hou Wuque, who looked miserable, and his face couldn't help but twitch.

The suave and romantic young master Hou Wuque, a powerful Jindan realm expert, is now in such a miserable state.

Su Mu is becoming more and more terrifying.

Even those in the Dan realm can be beaten up.

We are all geniuses of the time, why are you so outstanding?
"Keep him for now and lock him up with Prince Su. He may be useful in the future."

Su Mu said.

Then, a mass of rotten meat-like substance was stuffed into Prince Su’s prison car.

A bloody smell hit him in the face, and Prince Su widened his eyes.

"How dare you humiliate this king like this?"

The prison van was not big to begin with, and now with two people crammed in, Prince Su would bump into Hou Wuque if he moved the slightest.

And now Hou Wuque was covered in blood and looked extremely filthy.

"Isn't this the reinforcement you wanted? Now it's delivered to you, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Su Mu said lightly, no longer paying attention to him, but telling everyone to hurry up.

…………

"Trash is trash!"

A strange redness flashed across Wu Yuanhua's face, and he couldn't help but spit out a small mouthful of blood.

"There's a reason why the Pure Land Sect has never been successful. They can't even do something as simple as this. You're just trash! Trash!"

After cursing for several times, his violently heaving chest finally calmed down a little.

If he hadn't been too badly injured to take action, he would have done it himself long ago.

If he had taken action, he would have rescued the prince long ago.

I originally thought that since the Pure Land Sect had been fighting the Taiping Division for so many years, they should be able to deal with the Taiping Division easily.

Unexpectedly, Hou Wuque was defeated so easily after working so hard for so many days.

He is still the White Lotus Envoy and is in the Jindan realm!
The more Wu Yuanhua thought about it, the angrier he became.

Fortunately, I only paid a deposit. If I gave them all the money, wouldn’t I have lost a lot this time?

"The Pure Land Sect is useless, and the other brothers are being bitten by Zhu Qi..."

Wu Yuanhua thought, "It will take at least two months for me to recover from my injuries.

In two months, they had already arrived in the capital.

Once the prince is sent to the capital, it will be difficult to rescue him."

The Daxuan Capital City is where the truly powerful people gather.

Even Wu Yuanhua was not sure he could rescue people from the capital.

To save Prince Su, we must do it before he is escorted to the capital.

"The people escorting the prince will soon arrive at the territory of Huaqing Prefecture. The White Ape Sect is in Huaqing Prefecture. The leader of the White Ape Sect owed me a life..."

Wu Yuanhua thought of a solution.

…………

"Ahead is Huaqing Prefecture in Yunzhou. After passing Huaqing Prefecture, it will take about half a month to reach the capital."

Dongfang Liuyun followed Su Mu and said, "Should we replenish some supplies in Huaqing Mansion?"

Along the way, Dongfang Liuyun almost acted as Su Mu's deputy.

He comes from a prominent family, is well-informed, and is adept at dealing with people, so he is adept at being a deputy.

With him around, Su Mu had a lot less trouble.

Su Mu recalled the map in his mind and nodded slightly, "Send a few people into the city to buy, and the rest will set up camp outside the city."

The noise of two thousand elite soldiers entering the city would be too loud, and bringing a serious criminal like Prince Su with them would easily cause a commotion.

So along the way, even if they encountered a city, they would camp outside the city.

The group soon arrived not far from the city. When everyone started to set up camp, Dongfang Liuyun took a few people to the city to buy supplies.

Su Mu stayed in the camp, talked with Luo An Ning for a while, and played with the monkey on Luo An Ning's shoulder for a while.

This monkey was stolen by Mo Xuesong from a water monster.

To Su Mu, a monkey hatched from an egg was as strange as one that popped out from a crack in a rock.

This monkey was born with congenital defects, and Mo Xuesong originally concluded that it would not live long. However, under Luo An Ning's careful care, it actually survived and is getting better and better.

Now it is about one foot tall, with its eyes rolling around, looking extremely clever.

However, as a monster, it has not yet revealed its abilities.

Mo Xuesong, the genius of the Beast Taming Sect, couldn't tell what kind of monster this monkey was.

Su Mu didn't care much about it and just treated it as letting Luo An Ning raise a pet.

Snapped!
Su Mu took out a peach from his storage ring and threw it far away.

"Xiao Wu, go and pick it up."

Su Mu said with a smile.

Xiaowu is the name Luo Anning gave to the monkey.

The monkey glanced at Su Mu with a look as if he was looking at an idiot, and his eyes clearly showed two words: childish.

"Xiaowu, go ahead."

Luo Anning spoke.

A look of helplessness flashed across the monkey's face, but he still jumped off Luo Anning's shoulder and hopped to pick up peaches.

"This monkey—"

Su Mu laughed in silence. Is this little thing still trying to flatter the weak and put down the powerful?

The monkey picked up the peach and didn't come back. Instead, he jumped up a big tree and started playing on the tree.

Su Mu and Luo An Ning were not worried either, as this place was very close to the city and there were no ferocious beasts around.

Although the monkey looks small, it is still a monster and cannot be hurt by ordinary wild beasts.

It will come back by itself when it gets tired of playing.

"Ning'er, after things in the capital are settled, let's go back to Wuling."

Su Mu looked at Luo An Ning and reached out to push the hair on her forehead back.

"Are you going to Jingzhou to take up your post?"

Luo Anning asked in a daze.

Su Mu has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion this time, and there is a high probability that he will be promoted to commander.

The commander-in-chief guards a state, and the place where Wuling City is located is Jingzhou.

"Of course not." Su Mu was a little helpless. Miss Luo was indeed unromantic sometimes, but being cute was enough.

"Our marriage should always be decided by my father-in-law."

he said with a smile.

Seeing a blush on Luo An Ning's face, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her on the lips. His big hands fell on her back and touched her along her curves.

"Someone..."

Luo Anning spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Su Mu also only tasted it briefly. Luo An Ning had already reached perfection and it was time to pick him.

Go back to Wuling City and arrange the marriage, this is a respect for her.

Not long after, Dongfang Liuyun and others came back.

In addition to bringing back a batch of food, wine and meat, they also brought a group of officials including the prefect of Huaqing Prefecture.

Even without mentioning Su Mu's identity as the temporary commander, he was also the Pacification Commissioner of the Taiping Division, with an official rank of fourth grade.

Now that he has been ordered to escort the traitor to Beijing for trial, it is only natural that local officials should come and express their condolences.

The local officials entertained them with fine wine and delicious food, spoke pleasantly, and the guests and hosts were all very happy with the social etiquette.

Silent all night.

As soon as the sun rose the next day, everyone set off again.

After a night's rest, everyone's fatigue was gone and they were all full of energy.

After bypassing Huaqing Prefecture, we walked along the official road for about thirty miles.

Suddenly, the vehicle ahead stopped abruptly.

Su Mu's expression changed, and he rode his horse from the middle of the team to the front. He saw thirty or forty people standing on the official road, blocking the road.

Dongfang Liuyun, Mo Xuesong and others stared at each other with vigilance.

"Commander."

Seeing Su Mu coming, everyone said.

"what happened?"

Su Mu said calmly.

"This is Lord Su Mu, right?"

Before Dongfang Liuyun and the others could answer, a middle-aged man among the people blocking the road spoke with a smile.

The man looked to be in his forties, with a well-proportioned body, arms that went past his knees, and a very deep aura.

The thirty or forty people behind him also had strong muscles and bones, and they were all warriors who had successfully tempered their bodies.

"Misunderstanding, we are not robbers."

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "I am Li Zhao from the White Ape Sect. I heard that Lord Su and his party passed by here, so I waited here specially. One reason is that I want to see you all, and the other is that I want to treat you all to a glass of wine as a token of my respect."

"No need."

Su Mu looked at Li Zhao and said slowly, "I am busy with official business and cannot drink. If I have the chance in the future, I will come to visit Sect Master Li again."

"Master Su, our White Ape Sect is at least a well-known sect in the world. Even if you are the Pacification Commissioner, you don't have to be so high and mighty, right? Our Sect Master just wants to invite you for a drink. Are you so disrespectful?"

A White Ape Sect disciple behind Li Zhao shouted.

"presumptuous!"

Li Zhao was furious. He turned around and slapped the disciple in the face, "Go back and face the wall for a year!"

He kicked the disciple to the ground, then turned around and said to Su Mu with an apologetic look, "I am not good at disciplining you, please forgive me, Master Su."

Su Mu's face was calm, and he said calmly, "It's okay, Sect Master Li, please make way. We have official business to attend to and need to hurry on our way."

"In that case, Li will not force you to do anything."

Li Zhao clapped his hands and said, "Please take this monkey wine brewed by our White Ape Sect to quench your thirst on the road."

As they spoke, disciples from the White Ape Sect pushed out hundreds of wine jars on carts and delivered them to Su Mu and the others.

"Master Su, please don't refuse. You all serve the court. Although I am a country bumpkin, I respect you all. This is a small token of our White Ape Sect's appreciation."

Li Zhao said sincerely.

"In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Su Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Dongfang Zhenfu Envoy, please accept the wine."

Dongfang Liuyun responded and asked people to load the monkey wine onto their own cart.

Seeing this, Li Zhao smiled and said, "I will not delay your trip. I wish you all a safe journey."

He waved his hand and all the disciples of the White Ape Sect made way for him.

Li Zhao stood by the road, looking respectful, watching the convoy pass by.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on Xiao Wu on Luo An Ning's shoulder, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"and many more!"

The next moment, he shouted loudly.

Sonorous!

In an instant, the sounds of weapons being unsheathed became one and the same.

"Master Li, please respect yourself."

Su Mu turned his head to look at Li Zhao, and his voice became a little cold.

"Please forgive me, Lord Su!"

Li Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Li is overjoyed."

"Master Su, may I ask if you would sell this master's demon pet to me?"

He pointed at Luo Anning and said, "Just name your price. I will never bargain."

"You want to buy Xiaowu?"

Luo Anning frowned slightly.

Monkey Xiaowu seemed to understand what Li Zhao said. He bared his teeth and roared at Li Zhao ferociously.

"Yes."

Li Zhao said in a deep voice, "My White Ape Sect is named after the White Ape. When I saw your demon pet, I felt that it had a connection with my White Ape Sect. I wanted to make it the sect's guardian beast.

Please help me, sir!"

"I won't do it."

Miss Luo said expressionlessly, raising her hand and patting Monkey Xiaowu's head soothingly.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Taiping Division couldn't help but laugh.

Captain Luo is so direct.

But well said.

What? Are white monkeys destined to be with your White Ape Sect?
Who do you think you are, the White Ape Sect? Why should the Taiping Division help you?
I've seen rude people, but I've never seen anyone so rude.

Just because you sent some wine to the Taiping Division, you think you are that familiar with the Taiping Division?
What a joke!
"Sir, our White Ape Sect is willing to pay, any amount is fine!"

Li Zhao said anxiously.

"Master Li, it's over."

Su Mu said calmly, "If there is nothing else, please step down.

If you stop me again, don’t blame me for following the law.”

After saying that, he waved his hand, the carriage started moving, and everyone continued to move forward.

Li Zhao's expression changed, he clenched his fists, but finally he did not act rashly.

"metropolitan--"

Seeing that the convoy had gone far away, Li Zhao still stood there motionless, a disciple of the White Ape Sect whispered.

"I just wanted to repay Wu Yuanhua for a favor. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter."

The smile on Li Zhao's face had long since disappeared, replaced by a bottomless gloom.

“Now, it has to be done.

Who would have thought that a little girl would have such an opportunity!
The opportunity for our White Ape Sect to prosper lies here.

We must not miss this opportunity!

Now that the world is in chaos and a white ape has appeared, it is time for our White Ape Sect to take advantage of the situation and rise up!"

The White Ape Sect's disciples all showed excitement on their faces, "We are willing to follow the Sect Master until death and glorify the White Ape Sect!"

"The Taiping Division is very powerful. We should not fight them head-on. If we follow them, as long as they drink the monkey wine, they will be our prey..."

Li Zhao sneered and said, "You are shameless. If you hand over the white ape to me, you may have a chance to survive. Now, you are forcing me to kill all of you."
