The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 441 Recruiting Envoys (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)

There are four paths before Su Mu, and how to choose becomes a problem.

Before coming to Hulao Pass, Su Mu thought of many possibilities.

He even thought that Emperor Xuan would take direct action against him.

He estimated that Emperor Xuan should have thought of many strategies.

Su Mu is making a choice, and Emperor Xuan is also making a choice.

This is probably the choice Emperor Xuan made after repeated consideration.

He wanted to kill Su Mu, but Su Mu used his magic weapon to stir up trouble, making it impossible for Emperor Xuan to kill Su Mu directly.

That's why he came up with these four paths.

There are four ways. For the first two, as long as Su Mu is willing to join him, he will give Su Mu a chance to survive.

If Su Mu insisted on staying in Taiping Division, he could only choose the latter two paths.

And the last two roads are both dead ends.

Emperor Xuan never mentioned the matter of the magic weapon from beginning to end, as if Su Mu's big incident had nothing to do with him.

Su Mu also secretly admired him in his heart. This was the wisdom of Emperor Xuan.

If Emperor Xuan focused his attention on the magic weapons and the warriors in Hulao Pass, he would be led by Su Mu.

Once he did that, the initiative fell into Su Mu's hands.

But Emperor Xuan did not do that. He jumped over directly and firmly grasped the initiative in his hands.

No matter what kind of military reward meeting Su Mu holds, or whether Su Mu will make the method of forging magic weapons public, that is Su Mu's private matter.

No matter what Su Mu did, in name, he was still a courtier of Daxuan.

As long as Emperor Xuan grasps this point, Su Mu will have to do whatever he asks him to do in the name of reward.

Unless Su Mu disobeys the order.

In that case, Su Mu would completely lose the initiative.

This is an open conspiracy. You know exactly what he is planning, but there is nothing you can do about it.

Can Su Mu refuse?
Theoretically yes.

At least, he can give up his official position.

But that would mean falling into Emperor Xuan's conspiracy.

By giving up his official position, he would be voluntarily giving up the resources and support of the Taiping Division.

Without the background of the Taiping Division, no matter how talented Su Mu was, he was ultimately just a Nascent Soul warrior.

The number of people under Emperor Xuan who could kill him could not be counted on one hand.

Although momentum cannot be seen, it does exist.

"I choose--"

Su Mu said slowly, "The fourth way.

I am willing to be the imperial court's envoy to conquer the demon court."

Su Mu would definitely not choose the first two paths because he has no interest in being a dog.

There are two paths left.

Su Mu was not familiar with the three states of Lingnan.

When traveling thousands of miles to take up a post, no one knows what will happen on the way, or what will happen when you get there.

Even with Su Mu's current strength, he couldn't say that he would be able to get there safely.

Emperor Xuan dared to let him go there because he was certain that he would die there.

Instead, we will conquer the demon court.

Although it looks very dangerous, Su Mu had been on a diplomatic mission to the Demon Court, so he had a certain understanding of the Savage Continent.

The Demon Court is also an old rival. I may not be able to defeat them, but I can still have a chance of saving my life.

The lesser of two evils.

"Su Qing really didn't let me down."

Emperor Xuan exclaimed, "Whether we can destroy the demon court and restore peace to the Great Xuan depends on you, Su Qing."

"Do your best."

Su Mu said.

"To conquer the demon court, I, Daxuan, will go all out, and I will also fully support you."

Emperor Xuan said, "But Su Qing also understands that Great Xuan is in a precarious situation right now, and I am incapable and ashamed of my ancestors.

In all states and prefectures, the Taiping Division must not act rashly, otherwise the people will be left without support, which I cannot tolerate.

In addition, the border towns had suffered heavy losses before, and it is now difficult to mobilize manpower.

I can only live frugally and gather 10,000 soldiers for you, Su Qing."

Su Mu sneered in his heart, his true colors were revealed.

How can we conquer the Demon Court without anyone?
A mere ten thousand people are not even enough to fill the gaps in the Demon Court's teeth.

"Don't worry about the food and grass, Su Qing. I will let the Shenwu Army escort the food and grass for you."

Emperor Xuan was still talking, but Su Mu was too lazy to listen any more.

No people, no food.

There is only a title of Recruiting Envoy.

If Su Mu really led his troops out of the border and into the wilderness, there would be no need to think about coming back.

The general of the Shenwu Army died at the hands of Su Mu. Even if they were asked to escort food and grass to Su Mu, it would be a problem whether the food and grass could be delivered to Su Mu.

"If Su Qing has the ability, then you can recruit some people yourself, but I can't help you with food and grass."

Emperor Xuan seemed to know what Su Mu was thinking, and said slowly, "I don't have any extra food here, Su Qing, please understand me.

I will leave Dongfang Liuyun and Mo Xuesong to you, but the garrison at Huju Pass cannot be moved."

Su Mu sneered in his heart.

The people at Huju Pass are not under your control, Emperor Xuan.

"Su Qing, I have received reliable information that the Demon Court is preparing for a counterattack. The military situation is urgent. Su Qing, you should go to the battle as soon as possible."

Emperor Xuan said, "I will issue an order immediately. You should prepare and set out tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

Su Mu frowned.

"Su Qing, do you have any difficulties?
The country is in crisis, and we, the monarch and our subjects, will overcome the difficulties together."

Emperor Xuan said.

"No difficulty."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "There will be no problem with going out tomorrow."

"So good."

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Su Qing, you can go on your way without any worries. As for the military reward meeting, you can leave the magic weapons behind and I will organize it for you.

In addition, Su Qing, you have a righteous purpose and want to make the method of forging magic weapons public. I will also support you.

I have specially invited the head of the Divine Weapon Pavilion to come here. Su Qing, you still have one night to teach him the weapon-making technique, and he will teach you the technique."

Su Mu looked at Emperor Xuan and suddenly smiled.

Is the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion also Emperor Xuan’s man?

Emperor Xuan, this is really a good idea.

Let him die, but also squeeze out all the value from him?
The magic weapon remains, the method of forging the magic weapon remains, and the man can die.

"His Majesty."

The smile on Su Mu's face suddenly faded, and he said seriously, "Teaching one person is teaching, and teaching a hundred people is also teaching.

Since there is still one night left, I will give a lecture at Hulao Pass tonight."

"Ok?"

Emperor Xuan frowned slightly.

"If the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion is interested, then please invite him to the city to listen to the Dharma."

Before Emperor Xuan could speak, Su Mu had already stood up.

"Time is tight. Please forgive me for being rude. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Su Mu turned and walked out.

"presumptuous!"

Clang!
The sound of a long sword being unsheathed echoed in the air, and the two swords blocked the palace door.

The two golden-armored guards, who looked like door gods, stared at Su Mu with a fierce look.

He Jin flicked the whisk in his hand and said coldly, "Commander Su, how dare you be so rude in front of His Majesty?"

"rude?"

Su Mu turned around slowly and his eyes fell on He Jin.

"Who do you think you are in front of His Majesty? How dare you speak nonsense to me!" Su Mu said coldly.

He Jin was startled, then his face turned red.

He looked at Su Mu with murderous eyes.

No one had ever dared to be so rude to him.

"Your Majesty, I have finished explaining the matter. I will leave. Is there any problem with this?"

Su Mu ignored He Jin, looked at Emperor Xuan, and said.

"Su Qing, the Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion has arrived. This place is quiet and more suitable for teaching."

Emperor Xuan spoke slowly.

Before he finished speaking, a figure walked in from the door.

"Wang Huomin, I meet your Majesty."

The man bowed slightly.

"No need to be polite. You should learn from Su Qing how to forge a magic weapon."

Emperor Xuan said calmly, "You are already the best weapon forger in the world. One night should be enough for you to master the method of forging divine weapons."

"I won't bother you anymore, don't let me down."

After saying that, Emperor Xuan stood up and left through the back door without asking Su Mu's opinion again.

He Jin moved sideways and stood guard at the back door.

The front door was guarded by two golden-armored guards.

Su Mu was so angry that he laughed.

One is soft and the other is hard. Is he kneading Su Mu like dough?
"Commander Su, please enlighten me."

The leader of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Wang Huomin, spoke.

Su Mu is also familiar with the Divine Weapon Pavilion. His Tiangong Weapon Refining Method comes from the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Huo Zhenting, Zhang Zhongmei and other disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion are all friends of Su Mu.

Su Mu originally had a very good impression of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

He never imagined that the Divine Weapon Pavilion had such a deep relationship with Emperor Xuan.

"Step aside."

Su Mu glanced at him coldly and spoke slowly.

Wang Huomin frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has ordered——"

"I say it again, get out of the way!"

Su Mu raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword exposed on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice.

He stepped forward, approaching Wang Huomin step by step.

"Public is public, private is private."

Su Mu said slowly, "Who I pass my weapon-casting method to is my private matter, and Your Majesty has no say in it."

boom!
The brocade and black shirt on his body rustled in the wind without making any sound.

A sharp aura rose from him.

Wang Huomin frowned and looked at He Jin subconsciously.

"Commander Su, this is His Majesty's palace. Have you ever thought about the consequences of using force here?"

He Jin said grimly.

"I am the commander of the Great Xuan Taiping Division, and the recruiting envoy appointed by His Majesty himself."

Su Mu said calmly, "Who dares to block my way?"

clack.

Su Mu was only two steps away from Wang Huomin, and the two were almost face to face.

Wang Huomin subconsciously took a step back.

The name of the person whose shadow is the tree.

Although Wang Huomin is the leader of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he absolutely dare not underestimate Su Mu.

"Master Wang wants to eat alone. Have you ever asked the people who came all the way from Hulao Pass?"

Su Mu said coldly.

“It’s not that Su looks down on you, but with your qualifications, even if Su Mu is willing to teach you, you won’t be able to learn.

How many years has the Tiangong Weapon Refining Method been in your Divine Weapon Pavilion?

What level have you reached in your cultivation?
You haven't even learned your own things yet, but you covet other people's things. Are you worthy of being the Pavilion Master?"

Wang Huomin was sweating profusely and kept retreating.

He looked at He Jin for help.

He Jin's face was as gloomy as rain.

"Su Mu——"

"Shut up!"

Su Mu shouted, "As a eunuch, what qualifications do you have to speak in front of me?
If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will let you see my magic weapon in advance!"

Zheng!
The long sword on Su Mu's back made a clear sound.

There was a hissing sound in the air, the sword intent soared into the sky, and the tiles on the roof crackled into pieces.

Anger flashed across He Jin's face, "Commander Su, everyone says you are arrogant, but today I know that you are so arrogant.

We serve His Majesty. Since His Majesty has asked you to teach Pavilion Master Wang here, then you can only teach Pavilion Master Wang here.

Commander Su will prevent you from leaving this room before dawn.

Unless you can get through this test in our family."

He Jin flicked his whisk, and his aura rose.

He took a step forward, and the blue bricks on the ground shattered silently.

"Commander Su, if you don't want to suffer any more, you'd better do what His Majesty says.

We can’t control what you do in other places, but here, you have to listen to us.”

He Jin said in a grim tone, “If you don’t believe it, you can try it.

It’s not like our men haven’t killed some of the world’s greatest geniuses before.”

Swish!
He swung his whisk, and thousands of silk threads cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

Emperor Xuan finished his performance as the good guy and left the stage. Now He Jin came on stage and started to play the bad guy.

If Su Mu honestly handed over the magic weapon and passed on the method of forging the magic weapon to Wang Huomin.

Then he would be able to go out of the border tomorrow under the title of the Recruiting Envoy and go to the Demon Court to die.

From Emperor Xuan's perspective, this way everyone can retain their dignity.

If Su Mu is unwilling to cooperate, then He Jin will take action.

As long as we give Su Mu some breath, we can let him go out of the country as a recruiting envoy tomorrow.

As long as Su Mu comes out of confinement in front of everyone, his death will have nothing to do with Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Xuan can also use magic weapons and weapon-making methods to win over more people's hearts.

In an instant, Su Mu understood Emperor Xuan's plan.

Even if the matter was exposed, it was the work of a dog slave like He Jin. What does it have to do with the wise and powerful Emperor Xuan?
It was indeed a brilliant move for Su Mu to use the magic weapon to stir up the world, but his mistake was that he should not have entered the palace alone.

As long as he enters the palace, with his strength, he will never be able to cause any waves.

Everything he does will serve others.

"Your plan is good."

Su Mu looked at He Jin and said slowly, "But you underestimate me."

There is nothing wrong with Emperor Xuan and He Jin's plan.

No matter how famous Su Mu is, he is just a warrior in the Nascent Soul stage after all.

Facing the fusion realm, he had no chance to struggle at all.

Although it was impossible to kill him directly due to the situation at Hulao Pass, it was not a problem to keep him in the palace and force him to hand over the magic weapon.

"Commander Su, I advise you to teach Pavilion Master Wang the method of forging magic weapons. This will be good for everyone, and you will be able to start your journey well tomorrow."

He Jin grinned and said, "This is all for Daxuan. Pavilion Master Wang has learned the method of forging magic weapons and will also preach in Hulao Pass. Isn't this also your plan, Commander Su?
Why are you resisting when someone else is doing it for you? "

"Commander Su, the Heavenly Artifact Refining Method is the inheritance of my Divine Weapon Pavilion. Since you have gained some insights, sharing it with me now is like returning the item to its original owner."

Wang Huomin said, "I promise you that if I can master the method of forging divine weapons, I will select qualified people at Hulao Pass and teach them the Tiangong Refining Method. I will never keep it to myself."

Su Mu lowered his eyelids, as if he didn't hear what they said.

"The time has come. Since you are unwilling to give way, then Su will open a way for himself."

Su Mu said slowly.

Before he finished speaking, Thunder was unsheathed.
