Magic Martial Arts

Chapter 16 Tianwu Emperor

Later, Su Zhenguo brought Li Yuehua back to the Su family in Manping Town. Manping Town was the former name of Zhen'an City. Because of the frequent attacks and harassment by the southern barbarians, the residents of Manping Town were overwhelmed by the disturbances. Their production, life, business and trade were greatly affected. People lived in poverty and hated the southern barbarians. The word "Manping" meant that they hoped that one day the southern barbarians could be destroyed and the world would be peaceful from then on.

But when Su Zhenguo returned to the Su family in Manping, he found white silk hanging high and the whole place was filled with sorrow. It turned out that Grandpa Su had passed away. Later, Su Zhenguo's eldest brother Su Zhenpeng said that Grandpa Su was too worried about the "Red Hunting Order" and finally passed away not long ago because of the depression in his heart.

Su Zhenguo was extremely sad about this, but he was also a little confused. Logically speaking, his father had practiced martial arts for a long time. Although he could not be said to be immune to all diseases, he was in good health. It was still a little strange that he died so suddenly. So in the end, Su Zhenguo was still cautious and secretly investigated...

Later, the Nanman seemed to have received the news, so they took advantage of the death of Su Tengbo's father to launch a large-scale attack on "Manping Pass" and attempted to invade "Manping Town". As the eldest brother of the Su family, Su Zhenpeng put on armor and vowed to pacify the barbarians and protect the country. However, with his mid-stage Dou Ling strength and strategic mistakes, he repeatedly lost the initiative due to poor command, which also caused dissatisfaction among the Su family army and the people. It was only a matter of time before he was defeated... At the critical moment, Su Zhenguo was ordered to take up the banner of fighting against the Nanman with the support of the Su family army and the people.

"Blood Eyes will kill madly for 30,000 miles, and will not return until the southern barbarians are wiped out."

So later on, the people of Zhen'an City called Su Zhenguo the "Blood Eye" General.

It is said that on that occasion, Su Zhenguo killed three Dou Zun powerful men in a row, and in the end he was so bloodthirsty that he looked like... how to put it... like a humanoid monster. However, the common people did not think so. They all believed that Su Zhenguo was the "God of War" who came to the earth to protect the people.

That's how things always go. Word spreads from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to ten thousand, and finally reaches the ears of the Emperor of the Tianwu Empire, Wu Anshan. No matter what the emperor thinks in his heart, the southwest currently needs such a "stabilizing force" to stabilize the southwestern barbarians. Since there is this need, the reward will naturally come.

The Emperor Tianwu, by the Will of Heaven, proclaims:

Su Zhenguo was ordered to repel the southern barbarians in a time of crisis and made great contributions. He was specially appointed as General Zhenguo and stationed in the southwest to satisfy the people's will.

——Now, let the whole world know

Since Su Zhenguo took office, the southwestern border has become increasingly stable. Although there are occasional minor frictions, they are all minor fights and have not become a large-scale issue. The "Manping Town" has also begun to prosper and was later renamed "Zhen'an City", which means to strengthen the country and ensure its security.

"General? General~"

The midwife, Mrs. Cheng, looked at General Zhenguo for a long time without saying a word and was very puzzled. He was still talking, but he was distracted. No one knew what he was thinking about. He was so absent-minded. She called out to him several times before waking up Su Zhenguo.

"Oh, I remember some of my past...Mrs. Cheng has worked hard...You can go to the account office to collect a hundred taels of silver when you leave..."

Su Zhenguo smiled with emotion and looked at the midwife Cheng Sao and said sincerely that this gratitude was real. Although Madam Li Yuehua had recovered from her previous injuries, it was precisely because of the recovery that the broken and tangled meridians became even more difficult to unblock. In addition, the blood circulation was not smooth, which led to Li Yuehua's body becoming increasingly weak. The ten months of pregnancy were even more dangerous. It was all thanks to the dedicated help of the midwife Cheng Sao and Doctor Yuan Huairen that Madam was able to give birth safely.

"Oh, General, you can't do this... you can't do this... you are guarding the border for the country, and we are all your... rescuers..."

Su Zhenguo meant well, but Sister Cheng was quick to object. Because of the invasion of the Southern Barbarian Country, Sister Cheng had originally planned to take her husband and son back to her parents' home to avoid the limelight. However, not long after they left the city gate, they were stopped by a small group of Southern Barbarian infantry responsible for guerrilla warfare. These Southern Barbarians were very barbaric and would kill anyone they saw. To these barbarians, anyone was either one of their own or an enemy, and the best way to deal with an enemy was to "kill" them to eliminate future troubles.

So these barbarians with gloomy looks, thin and weird faces turned their butcher knives against ordinary people like Cheng Sao again. It was a coincidence that Su Zhenguo happened to be carrying Li Yuehua back that day. He had just entered the Dou Zun realm. Seeing his fellow villagers suffer, he was naturally unwilling to do so. He saw injustice and shouted, and he took action when he should. He saved Cheng Sao's family. He did it just by chance when he passed by. Who knew that Cheng Sao turned out to be the best midwife in the city. Later, he heard that the general's wife needed a midwife to take care of her throughout the whole process, so Cheng Sao was naturally the first one to go.

So this money really cannot be accepted, let alone a hundred taels of silver. You should know that one acre of good farmland is only more than ten taels of silver. A hundred taels are enough to buy more than ten acres of real estate, and one can definitely become a millionaire.

She went there to repay a favor, not for money...

"...Mrs. Cheng...you must accept this money...otherwise I will have 'Little Knife' deliver it to your residence and execute it according to military orders. If Mrs. Cheng doesn't accept it, he won't have to come back!"

Su Zhenguo didn't care about all that. Money was like clouds to him. As long as his wife was fine, that was all that mattered. So he was truly grateful to Mrs. Cheng.

"Well... well... thank you very much, General..."

Mrs. Cheng had no choice but to put it away for the time being, because she also knew this "Little Knife" leader, who was a passionate person, but a bit stubborn, and would not give up until he achieved his goal. What's more, it was a military order from General Su Zhenguo!

When Su Zhenguo saw that Mrs. Cheng agreed, he nodded with satisfaction, and then asked someone to send Mrs. Cheng back to rest.

"Someone... hurry up and get Doctor Yuan Huairen... come back quickly..."

"promise!"

Remembering Mrs. Cheng's instructions, he thought for a moment and ordered someone to ask Doctor Yuan to come and take a look at the situation. Looking at the figures of his personal guards going away, Su Zhenguo still had some expectations in his heart. If there really was some way to "extend life" or some precious medicine or elixir, he, Su Zhenguo, would get it even if he had to go to the ends of the earth!
