The corners of Yue Hanshan's mouth twitched, and he had obviously lost the desire to communicate with Chen Wenxin, the charlatan.

"No matter what your divination is, we still need to pay special attention to these two people."

"I will send two people to keep an eye on them and report any signs of trouble to Commander Xia immediately."

"This can't be done!" Chen Wenxin shook his head. "General Yue, think about it, what kind of person is Commander Xia?"

"With his vision, how could he not see that these two people had bad intentions."

"Since he's seen it, but he didn't keep a close eye on us or them, it means Master Xia already has a plan in mind."

"If we intervene rashly, it might actually ruin Commander Xia's plan."

Hearing this, Yue Hanshan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Although he was not very optimistic about the Taoist priest who had just arrived, he had to admit that what he said did make some sense.

Thinking of this, Yue Hanshan nodded and said, "In that case, I will listen to the Taoist priest for now. I will write a letter to ask Commander Xia's opinion later."

"By the way, Taoist Chen, I heard from Commander Xia that you are extremely proficient in battle formations. I wonder if you could give me some pointers during training today?"

When Chen Wenxin heard this, he smiled knowingly.

"Commander Yue, it seems like you are testing my abilities."

"Well, in that case, let's go to the martial arts arena now."

……

Hanyang County Government Office.

Sun Yaozu looked at Xu Shuiyue who was crying in front of him with a gloomy face.

"Shuiyue, did Geng Ruhuai really say that from today on, you are no longer allowed to get close to me?"

Xu Shuiyue's eyes were filled with tears, and she raised her head pitifully, "Your Excellency, Shuiyue toasted you yesterday, and when Master Geng returned to his bedroom, he whipped me."

"Look, all the injuries on my body were caused by that black-hearted bastard."

As Xu Shuiyue spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing the shocking whip marks on her arms.

Sun Yaozu just glanced at her coldly, raised his head and patted Xu Shuiyue on the shoulder.

"Suiyue, you've been wronged."

"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to follow me in the future, I will definitely compensate you."

Sun Yaozu comforted Xu Shuiyue with his mouth, but his face was darker than the bottom of a pot, and he felt a little unhappy.

In the past, he and Geng Ruhuai were good friends with similar interests.

When the two of them visited the brothel, they had a relationship that was ready for them to fight together.

But he didn't expect that ever since Miss Shuiyue came to the room to serve, Geng Ruhuai had been monopolizing her and would not even allow him to touch her.

It was originally a woman's matter, and Geng Ruhuai was his superior.

Even though Sun Yaozu felt a little unhappy, he didn't show it.

However, one day, Sun Yaozu and Geng Ruhuai got drunk and somehow got drunk. When they woke up, Miss Shuiyue was already sleeping in his bed.

Geng Ruhuai was furious about this and even cursed Sun Yaozu for being a bad son for daring to touch the woman he liked.

Sun Yaozu originally felt a little guilty, after all, he was the one who slept with the woman Geng Ruhuai had introduced himself to in advance.

However, Geng Ruhuai was relentless and his words became more and more harsh, which made Sun Yaozu very angry.

Damn it, I treat you as my brother and you treat me as your cousin.

Just because of a prostitute in a brothel, Geng Ruhuai hated him.

This is really unreasonable!

"Tell me, what did Geng Ruhuai say to you when he got drunk?"

After a long silence, Sun Yaozu asked in a deep voice.

Xu Shuiyue covered her face with her hands and cried, "He also said that I was the woman he liked. You, a mere seventh-rank county magistrate, actually dared to snatch a woman from him."

"What are you talking about? I'll make you pay once I finish what I'm doing."

Hearing this, Sun Yaozu's face became even gloomier.

"boom!"

He slammed the table and said, "Geng Ruhuai, that old bastard, actually wants to take all the credit. I knew he had bad intentions."

Seeing Sun Yaozu getting angry, Xu Shuiyue cried even harder.

"My lord, it's all my fault. If I hadn't obeyed you that night, I wouldn't have had this trouble."

Sun Yaozu's face turned pale and he asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Can I, Sun Yaozu, not take care of the woman I like?"

"Since Geng Ruhuai was the one who was unkind first, don't blame me for being unfair to him!"

Xu Shuiyue spoke in a gentle voice. She walked forward and brushed her delicate hands across Sun Yaozu's waist.

"Your Excellency is a man of great character and valor, far superior to that old turtle Geng Ruhuai. The fact that I can follow you is a blessing I have earned in my past life."

"However, I don't want you to affect your future just because of a lowly person like me..."

"Humph, affecting my future?" Sun Yaozu sneered and said indifferently, "Just relying on Geng Ruhuai?"

"In Hanyang, I respect him as an imperial envoy. If I don't take him seriously, I can bury him tomorrow."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Shuiyue, his expression softening. "You're quite sensible. It's getting late now. When Geng Ruhuai wakes up, he'll definitely come looking for you."

"You go back first. I have a way to solve this matter."

After saying that, Sun Yaozu gently patted Xu Shuiyue's shoulder.

Xu Shuiyue wiped her tears and said, "I don't want to go back. I just want to stay with you for the rest of my life. Even if I have to work like a slave, as long as I can serve you, I am willing to do that."

"Haha, you are thoughtful girl."

"Don't worry, Geng Ruhuai won't be around for a few more days. Once we get rid of him, I'll immediately have He Sanniang from the brothel release you and take you home to be my fourth concubine."

"From now on, you are the county magistrate's wife."

"But now you have to endure the humiliation and never let Geng Ruhuai find out."

"Don't worry, sir. I know what's in my heart."

Xu Shuiyue wiped away her tears, bowed to Sun Yaozu, turned around and left the county government office through the back door.

Looking at Xu Shuiyue's departing back, Sun Yaozu narrowed his eyes slightly, and murderous intent was revealed on his body.

"Sir, are you really going to fight Geng Ruhuai to the death just for a prostitute?"

"He is an imperial envoy of the court. If the matter is exposed, assassinating an imperial envoy is a serious crime punishable by death."

Master Zhou Hai came out from behind the screen and tried to persuade him cautiously.

"Humph, now it's not about whether I want to go against Geng Ruhuai, but Geng Ruhuai simply doesn't want to let me go."

"Whoever completes the tasks assigned by His Majesty will be rewarded generously and will surely rise to prominence in the future."

"Geng Ruhuai has a plan in mind. He's afraid that if there's a reckoning in the future, this matter will be exploited by others. So he wants me to do the dirty work and take all the credit."

"In that case, don't blame me for taking the initiative!"
