The First Marquis of Daxuan

“It is said that our Great Xuan Taiping Division Commander Su Mu, after beheading the demon head Madam Yuan in the wilderness, encountered the Demon Court State Master Liang Jinglue.

Everyone, although Commander Su is one of the most talented people in the world, he is not even thirty years old, and his cultivation has only reached the Nascent Soul stage. However, Liang Jinglue, the national teacher of the Demon Court, is a powerful cultivator in the Fusion stage.

Let's listen to how Commander Su fought against the Fusion Realm..."

Inside a teahouse in Hujuguan, a storyteller was talking incessantly.

The teahouse was packed with people, and exclamations broke out from the crowd from time to time.

The news of the fight against Liang Jinglue, the national master of Yaoting at Huju Pass has spread all over the world. The commander of Daxuan, Su Mu, defeated Liang Jinglue, the national master of Yaoting. Almost everyone in Daxuan knows about it.

Now Su Mu has become a living legend in Daxuan.

Before him, there had never been a warrior in the Nascent Soul stage who defeated a warrior in the Fusion stage.

I’m afraid there won’t be another one after him.

suddenly.

A demon horse with demon blood came galloping and broke into the Tiger Pass.

The knight on the demon horse had a dragon flag on his back, clearly indicating his identity.

Emperor's error.

Normally, the dragon flag would only be used to deliver urgent military information over thousands of miles.

People on the road dodged and looked in surprise at the knight who rushed into the Taipingsi Yamen in Hujuguan.

"Did something happen to Daxuan again?"

Everyone was talking about it.

"Could it be that the demon court's army is attacking other border towns again?"

"What does that have to do with our Huju Pass? Anyway, the demon court doesn't dare to provoke our Huju Pass now."

"That's not the case. The border towns are all connected. If we lose together, we will all suffer together. If we gain together, we will all gain together. If other places are lost, we will not be much better off."

"What you said is funny. When we were in danger at Huju Pass before, no one from other cities came to support us. We at Huju Pass only recognize Commander Su. What does the emperor's order have to do with us?"

…………

Not to mention what the people of Hujuguan said, the atmosphere inside the Taipingsi Yamen in Hujuguan was somewhat depressing.

Su Mu looked at the knight in front of him and said slowly, "I understand."

"Commander Su——"

The knight wanted to say something, but Su Mu waved his hand.

"I said, I understand, leave the gold medal and you can go back."

Before Su Mu finished speaking, he grabbed the gold medal in the knight's hand through the air and it flew into Su Mu's hand.

At the same time, a gentle force sent the knight out of the door.

"see a visitor out!"

Shi Binbin's voice rang out.

Several Taiping lieutenants appeared beside the knight, their hands on the hilts of their swords, their eyes fixed on the knight.

"please!"

The knight felt cold all over and was pushed out by several Taiping captains.

inside the room.

Su Mu, Luo Anning, Xiang Xiaoyuan, Dongfang Liuyun, Zhuge Jingang, Mo Xuesong, Shi Binbin, as well as Lu Pengju and Yang Zheng from the Sword Sect gathered together, their eyes all fixed on the gold medal in Su Mu's hand.

"The sixth gold medal."

Dongfang Liuyun said in a deep voice, "The Emperor Xuan sent you six gold medals in a row to summon you to an audience. This is a big problem!"

"If you go, I'm afraid you'll be like the Sect Master and never come back."

Lu Pengju said, "The Sect Master said that day that if he couldn't come back, we should come to you for help. I think the Sect Master may have discovered something."

The sect leader that Lu Pengju mentioned was naturally Chen Beixuan.

After Chen Beixuan's battle with the Demon Lord of the Demon Court, he once returned to the Sword Sect. It was also during that time that he told Lu Pengju and others that if he never returned, they should let the Sword Sect disciples come to Huju Pass to join Su Mu.

That's why the Sword Sect's disciples appeared at Huju Pass and saved Su Mu and others by chance.

“Master Chen Beixuan went to see Emperor Xuan and never came back.

The two marquises also went into seclusion only after Emperor Xuan arrived at Hulao Pass."

Dongfang Liuyun said with a serious expression, "Add to that the sudden disappearance of Prince Gong Li Chuan, there is definitely something wrong with our Emperor!"

"You can't go to see him! A general is not subject to military orders when he is away from home. If he wants to see you, let him come to Huju Pass!"

Shi Binbin said.

"He is the Lord of the Great Mystery after all. If we disobey his order, then we are not in the right."

Zhuge Jingang said, "When the time comes, he will have every reason to mobilize a large army to attack us."

This time Emperor Xuan summoned Su Mu, it was not the same as the last time he asked for the Purple Gold Beam to build the sea.

Emperor Xuan himself did not dare to make a big announcement about asking for the purple gold beam to span the sea.

So he had to swallow the loss himself and couldn't do anything to Su Mu openly.

But this time is different.

He summoned Su Mu with a golden medal, which was a legitimate thing to do. If Su Mu disobeyed the order, it would be Su Mu's problem.

The ruler of the current dynasty summoned his ministers in the name of rewarding them according to their merits. If Su Mu did not go, he would be labeled a traitor.

If that were the case, even if the court dismissed Su Mu from his post and sent a large army to attack him, it would still be in the interest of justice.

The reason why Emperor Xuan did not do so directly was that he was afraid of the military strength of Huju Pass.

"If you go, you will die. If you don't go, you will die too."

Mo Xuesong said with a troubled look on his face, "I thought I would be able to have nothing to worry about after joining the Taiping Division, but why do I still have so many troubles after joining the Taiping Division?
I used to think that the Taiping Division was arrogant and overbearing, but now I know that the Taiping Division is also so aggrieved. "

"Frustrated?"

Speechless expressions flashed across the faces of everyone in the Sword Sect.

As for feeling aggrieved, it depends on who you are facing.

The other party is Emperor Xuan.

The Lord of Daxuan.

Today, the power of Daxuan is fading, so the emperor's presence is not strong.

If it were when Daxuan was just established, no one in the world would dare to disobey the king's orders.

Even the most powerful sects have to bow down before the imperial court.

At that time, Emperor Xuan’s words were law.

If it was at that time, with a gold medal coming down, who in the world would dare not listen?
Although the current Emperor Xuan does not have this strength, he is still the Lord of the Great Xuan after all, and not everyone dares to challenge him.

As powerful as the Sword Sect is, since Chen Beixuan never came back, wouldn’t they dare to go directly to the Emperor Xuan to ask for clarification?

"Su Mu, how about we just rebel?"

Shi Binbin said, "Now there is no news from the two marquises. I believe that as long as you raise your arms and call, at least half of the people in the Taiping Division will obey your orders."

"The Taiping Division and the Imperial Guards fought—"

Zhuge Jingang sighed.

He came from the Imperial Guards and was very clear about the strength of the Daxuan Imperial Guards.

Although everyone is saying that Daxuan is on the decline, the strength of the Daxuan Imperial Guards should not be underestimated.

If the Taiping Division really fought with the Daxuan Imperial Guards, the end result would be mutual destruction.

Moreover, the Demon Court will have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and the world will surely be in chaos.

"As the art of war goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles without danger."

Luo An Ning said, "We only have the city of Huju Pass now, and our military force is no more than 10,000 people, and we don't know the cards Emperor Xuan has.

If a fight really breaks out, we have no chance of winning." Emperor Xuan had already shown his strength in the fusion realm before, and the number of the Great Xuan Imperial Guards under his personal control exceeded 100,000.

No one knows how many powerful people in the fusion realm he has under his command.

They can't compare in any way.

To be honest, their current strength is far inferior to that of Prince Su Li Shu who rebelled in the past.

Prince Su Li Shu still has at least two states in his hands, but they now only have a small Huju Pass.

Everyone was talking about it, but Su Mu, who was sitting at the top, didn't say a word.

He tapped his fingers on the table, a thoughtful look on his face.

There has been no news about the two marquises of the Taiping Division and Chen Beixuan.

What is certain now is that they are all still inside Hulao Pass, but it is unclear whether they are dead or alive.

The only thing that is certain is that they have all lost their freedom.

Otherwise, even if they were in seclusion recuperating, it would be impossible for them to remain without any news.

The people from the Taiping Division and the Sword Sect tried to contact them in various ways, but all failed.

A few days ago, two elders of the Sword Sect who were in the Nascent Soul stage went to Hulao Pass in person, but they returned empty-handed.

Although there is no evidence, it is most likely that this matter is related to Emperor Xuan.

If Su Mu really obeyed the imperial edict and went to Hulao Pass, I am afraid he would end up like the three of them and never come back.

What Su Mu couldn't understand was that both the two Marquises of Taiping and Chen Beixuan were the pillars of Daxuan. What good would it do to Daxuan if he killed them?
Without Chen Beixuan, who will resist the Demon Lord of the Demon Court?

Could it be that Emperor Xuan wants to destroy Great Xuan?
He is the Lord of Daxuan. What is his purpose in demolishing his own house?
"How about, Su Mu, you report to the police and claim to be ill, saying that you fought with Liang Jinglue, the national teacher of the Demon Court, and were too seriously injured to leave Huju Pass."

Zhuge Jin Gang looked at Su Mu and said, "This should delay some time."

"it's useless."

Su Mu shook his head. "He can say that he has an imperial physician by his side. No matter how serious the injury is, if he can't travel, he can always take a carriage.

Now that Emperor Xuan has set his sights on me, he will not give up."

"You want to go to Hulao Pass?"

Zhuge Jin Gang frowned.

The rest of the people also looked at Su Mu in confusion.

They had just discussed for a long time. Although no one agreed on whether to rebel or not, everyone had the same idea about whether to go to Hulao Pass or not.

That is, you must never go to Hulao Pass.

Emperor Xuan summoned Su Mu, definitely not to reward Su Mu as he said, he definitely had ulterior motives.

In this situation, if Su Mu went to Hulao Pass, he would definitely be a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

Although Su Mu's strength is not weak, he is still far behind Chen Beixuan and Lord Taiping.

Those three were trapped in Hulao Pass and couldn't get out. Could Su Mu escape?

Before Su Mu could answer, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside.

Immediately afterwards, a Taiping captain rushed in.

"Commander-in-chief, another imperial messenger is here with a golden medal!"

The same gold medal, the same purpose.

He urgently summoned Su Mu to Hulao Pass to meet the emperor and reward him according to his merits.

Su Mu still sent the imperial messenger away.

But it’s not over yet.

An hour later, another gold medal was delivered.

Then every hour, a special envoy from the imperial court would arrive, bringing the same gold medal and the same decree.

Thirteen gold medals were sent to Huju Pass.

Anyone can feel Emperor Xuan's determination.

Inside the Taipingsi Yamen in Hujuguan, everyone's expression became serious.

"Emperor Xuan will not give up until he achieves his goal."

Shi Binbin looked at the thirteen gold medals lined up on the table with an extremely ugly expression.

I'm afraid this kind of thing has never happened since the founding of Daxuan.

Thirteen golden medals were issued in succession just to summon Su Mu to see the emperor.

"Thirteen gold medals, Emperor Xuan really thinks highly of me."

Su Mu had a calm expression and spoke slowly.

"Since he wants to see me so much, I will go and see him."

"Absolutely not!"

Everyone in the room said in unison.

Whether it was the people from the Taiping Division or the Sword Sect, they all looked at Su Mu with serious expressions.

"Su Mu, you can't go."

Lu Pengju, the contemporary genius of the Sword Sect, said in a deep voice, "At Huju Pass, with the army formation in place, we can fight even if a strong man in the Fusion Realm attacks us. But if you leave Huju Pass, you will become a tiger without claws and teeth, and you will be slaughtered at will."

"If I don't go to Hulao Pass, how can I save Sect Master Chen and the two marquises?"

Su Mu said calmly.

"Old Su, you also know that Sect Master Chen and the two marquises are trapped in Hulao Pass.

They are stronger than you, and even they can't be dealt with. What's the point of you going there?

It won’t do anything other than give someone an extra dish.”

Shi Binbin said, "If you ask me, you are still a rebel. We are not just in Huju Pass. Wuling City and Songjiang Prefecture will definitely listen to you."

"Rebellion is not a matter of a single word."

Dongfang Liuyun smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Luo is right, we really don't have the conditions to rebel now.

In fact, I also agree with Su Mu going to Hulao Pass."

"Dongfang Liuyun, I knew you were jealous of Su Mu. You wish he would die!"

Mo Xuesong said angrily.

"Going to Hulao Pass doesn't necessarily mean you're going to die."

Dongfang Liuyun said seriously, "As long as we plan well, even if we go to Hulao Pass, Emperor Xuan may not dare to do anything to Su Mu."

"What can you do?"

Shi Binbin frowned and said, "Even if we go out in full force and form a battle array at Hulao Pass, the imperial guards are not just for show, they also have their own battle array.

Unless Su Mu's strength can surpass that of Sect Master Chen Beixuan, is that possible? "

"I can't reach Sect Master Chen's realm in a short period of time."

Su Mu shook his head and said slowly, "But Dongfang Liuyun is right, going to Hulao Pass may not mean death.

Even if he is Emperor Xuan, he cannot act recklessly. If he wants to kill me, he must find a plausible reason.

As long as I don't give him the chance to attack."

"Su Mu, just because you are a gentleman doesn't mean others are too. They may not tell you these things."

Zhuge Jingang also expressed his opposition.

Inside the room, except Dongfang Liuyun, almost everyone opposed Su Mu going to Hulao Pass.

"We won't let you go unless you can convince us."

Lu Pengju, the contemporary genius of the Sword Sect, said in a deep voice, "Before the Sect Master left, he asked us to come and look for you. Your life is not only your own, but also related to the lives of hundreds of disciples of my Sword Sect and tens of thousands of people in Huju Pass.

I absolutely cannot let you be so willful! "(End of this chapter)
