The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 238 Assassination (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)
A young man, with two beautiful wives and an old servant, walked slowly on the official road.

After leaving the capital of Xiangzhou, Su Mu did not summon Garuda again, but chose to take Luo An Ning and walk all the way to Xiaoyuan.

It was a rare leisurely moment in Wuling City, and with the beautiful scenery of Xiangzhou, Su Mu also wanted to go sightseeing.

On the other hand, Su Mu also wanted to know more about the customs and culture of Xiangzhou.

After all, he came to Xiangzhou to take up his post and would not leave Xiangzhou in the short term.

Although the duty of the Taiping Division's pacification envoy is to slay demons and monsters, he is in Xiangzhou. If he does not understand Xiangzhou, it will be difficult for him to perform his duties smoothly.

He traveled to Songjiang Prefecture while sightseeing. The journey was supposed to take one or two days, but it took him seven or eight days to arrive.

When he finally appeared outside Songjiang Prefecture, the various forces that had been hovering outside the city finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They have been waiting for several days!

"Songjiang Prefecture Taiping School Captain Yang Yunzhong greets Lord Su."

A young man dressed in the brocade and black shirt of the Taiping Lieutenant bowed to Su Mu. He looked at the five cloud patterns on Su Mu's collar, his face full of admiration.

Anyone who is from the Taiping Division knows what these cloud patterns represent.

A cloud pattern is a special achievement.

No matter how many lives are lost, you may not be able to get a special achievement.

Su Zhenfushi actually got five special merits!

what does this mean?
This means that Su Zhenfushi has completed five missions that will lead to his death!
In the history of the Taiping Division, no one has ever received so many special merits!
Even without mentioning Su Mu's identity as the pacification envoy, these five special achievements alone are enough to make everyone in the Taiping Division respect him.

"Captain Yang, there is no need to be so polite."

Su Mu smiled and said, "Are you waiting for me here specifically?"

"Yes."

Yang Yunzhong said respectfully, "The Fu Zhenfu Envoy in the capital sent a message saying that Lord Su will arrive in Songjiang Prefecture soon, so I am waiting here on purpose."

This is also something that is likely to happen in Xiangzhou.

If it were in Wuling City or Huju Pass, the Taiping Division would be seriously understaffed and everyone would be extremely busy, so how could they have the time to wait for one person?

Xiangzhou, including Songjiang Prefecture, rarely has demons and monsters appearing, and the Taiping Division is idle most of the time.

"Zhang Luzhong has met with Su Zhenfushi."

Before Yang Yunzhong finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a green shirt next to him spoke with a smile.

"you are?"

Su Mu turned his head and looked over.

"I am the advisor of Songjiang Prefecture. I am here to welcome Su Zhenfushi by order of the prefectural master."

Zhang Luzhong smiled and said, "Envoy Su, my lord has already prepared a banquet in the mansion to welcome Envoy Su. Please do me the honor of moving over."

"I appreciate your kindness, Lord Fu Zun. There is no need for a reception. I still have official business to attend to."

Su Mu said lightly.

"Why did Envoy Su keep people away from me?"

Zhang Luzhong kept smiling and continued, "Songjiang Prefecture is in a bit of trouble, but Lord Fuzun paid for the banquet himself. Lord Fuzun also wanted to report the situation of Songjiang Prefecture to Su Zhenfushi."

He kept a low profile.

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "If that's the case, then I will be honored to refuse.

Captain Yang, please come with me."

"Yes, my lord."

Yang Yunzhong bowed.

"Su Zhenfu Envoy, please."

Zhang Luzhong called over a carriage and spoke.

Su Mu looked at the carriage that Zhang Luzhong called over and was slightly stunned.

It's not because the carriage is too luxurious, but because it is too simple.

This was perhaps the most shabby carriage he had seen since entering Xiangzhou.

Su Mu was worried that the shabby carriage would fall apart with just a slight bump.

"Please forgive me, Su Zhenfu. We are in financial difficulty in Songjiang Prefecture. I borrowed this carriage specially. Our prefect usually travels in an oxcart."

Zhang Luzhong explained.

"is it?"

Su Mu smiled and took Luo An Ning and Xiang Xiaoyuan into the carriage.

As for Yang Yunzhong and Shi Ziran, they followed the carriage on foot, one on the left and one on the right.

"My husband, isn't the drama in Songjiang Mansion too much?"

Inside the carriage, Xiang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but say, "Everyone knows that Xiangzhou is rich. Even if the governor of Songjiang Prefecture is honest, he wouldn't be so corrupt."

"He must have done it on purpose."

Luo An Ning thought about it and said, "He should be afraid that my husband will ask him for money to build the White Deer Academy."

Miss Luo just doesn't like to think too much, but that doesn't mean she can't understand these twists and turns.

Su Mu smiled and said, "It's normal to cry poor.

If it weren’t for the Wu family, and they wanted to build the White Deer Academy with Songjiang Prefecture, I’m afraid that by the time all the monsters from the Monster Court arrive next year, the White Deer Academy might not even be built.”

"Husband, have you thought of all this a long time ago? So from the very beginning, you have already taken the Wu family into account?"

He winked at Xiaoyuan.

"I can only consider it as a trick played on me. I didn't know at first that the court would let me come to Songjiang Prefecture as a pacification envoy.

I didn't expect that Wu Yifan would be so reckless."

Su Mu smiled.

He had indeed long planned to cause trouble for the Wu family. Because of Wu Qiuyuan, he destroyed the Nine Dragons True Fire Array's formation, and he had never forgotten this account.

However, his original plan was just to extort some money from the Wu family and make up for the losses of the Nine Dragons True Fire Formation.

It was Wu Yifan's actions that angered him, which led to the incident that caused the Wu family to bleed heavily.

This was actually an accident, and it just happened to solve the issue of building Bailu Academy.

"Wu Yifan has done many evil things, and this can be considered as making good use of waste."

Xiang Xiaoyuan giggled, "Does this count as a blessing for my husband?"

Luo Anning's eyes widened and her pretty face turned red.

She doesn't understand Xiang Xiaoyuan's little tricks.

Su Mu laughed, but suddenly, his smile faded and his face became serious.

Just at this moment, angry shouts suddenly came from outside the carriage.

"Who is so bold as to assassinate the Taiping Division's pacification envoy?"

Along with the angry shouts, the sounds of several bowstrings were heard.

Bang bang bang!
Su Mu raised his hand and caught a feather arrow.

He flicked his sleeves, and with a loud bang, the carriage exploded.

Luo Anning and Xiang Xiaoyuan followed Su Mu out of the carriage and drew their swords.

At this time, Shi Ziran and Yang Yunzhong were already fighting with a group of men in black.

The lawyer Zhang Luzhong was hiding behind a stall, trembling with fear.

"careful!"

Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in one direction.

At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking wind was heard.

I saw an arrow wrapped in flames shooting towards me from a tall building in the distance.

A sneer appeared on Su Mu's lips.

In the past, he always used the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow to attack others, but he didn't expect that someone would use the same method to attack him today.

This arrow is clearly not an ordinary arrow, but a mysterious weapon!

He took a step forward, and the Thunder Blade jumped into his hand like lightning, and he slashed forward.

A fire dragon suddenly appeared on the blade.

The wind howled, fanning the flames. The fire dragon roared out and collided with the sneak attacking arrow.

The artistic conception of Li fire, the artistic conception of Xun wind!
Although Su Mu has not yet comprehended the vision, his Lihuo artistic conception and Xunfeng artistic conception are complete, and there are vague signs of fusion.

This move already had the outline of a strange vision.

It's too late, but it's soon.

The fire dragon and the arrow collided.

In an instant, all the sounds between heaven and earth seemed to disappear for a moment, and then a deafening roar sounded.

The loud noise made everyone who was fighting cover their ears, with looks of pain on their faces.

Flames spread across the air.

The fire dragon and the arrow wrapped in flames disappeared in the air at the same time.

At this time, the person shooting arrows on the tall building in the distance showed a look of shock on his face.

blocked?
It actually blocked it!
Wasn't it said that a few months ago, Su Mu was only at the Transmigration Stage?

Even if he could break through to the Zhenyuan realm in the next few months, he would not be able to stop his own Xuanbing.

The power of my mysterious weapon is no less than that of the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow!
He had spent a lot of effort to borrow this mysterious weapon. With his cultivation level in the Zhenyuan realm, he could easily kill an ordinary Zhenyuan realm cultivator with this mysterious weapon.

As soon as doubts arose in his mind, panic appeared in his pupils.

Because he saw a pair of wings suddenly spread out from behind Su Mu, and then flew towards him!
"Fuck! He can fly!"

The man held back a curse.

He hurriedly drew his bow and shot another arrow at Su Mu.

Su Mu moved his wings behind him and avoided the arrow at an extremely fast speed.

With a loud bang, a house in the distance was shot down by an arrow.

At this time, Su Mu had already pounced in front of the man. He wanted to draw his bow and shoot arrows again, but it was too late.

There was a fierce look in his eyes, and the man swung the longbow in his hand and smashed it down towards Su Mu.

Ding dong!

Su Mu closed the wings behind him and blocked in front of him.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The wings spread apart again, and then a flash of knife light suddenly burst out.

puff!
The two passed by each other.

The man's body froze in place, a blood mark appeared on his forehead, and then quickly spread downwards.

His eyes were filled with fear and regret.

"You are in the True Yuan Realm..."

He made a hoarse sound in his throat, fell to the ground with his eyes open.

Su Mu just looked at him blankly, then tiptoed and grabbed the bow in his hand.

Then the wind and thunder wings flashed, and Su Mu returned to the place where he had just been attacked.

At this time, Shi Ziran, Yang Yunzhong, Luo Anning and Xiang Xiaoyuan had already eliminated all the remaining assassins.

In fact, the weakest among the four was Yang Yunzhong, the Taiping Captain of Songjiang Prefecture.

Not to mention Shi Ziran, Luo Anning and Xiang Xiaoyuan are also about to cultivate to the perfect state of the rebirth realm, and they both have comprehended the artistic conception.

Yang Yunzhong couldn't help but secretly glance at the two women. At first, he thought that Luo Anning and Xiang Xiaoyuan were the family members brought by Su Mu.

When they started fighting, he found that both women were stronger than him.

After all, he was one of the strongest Taiping captains in Songjiang Prefecture, but he was defeated by two women.

He really is worthy of being Su Zhenfushi. Even his female relatives are so strong.

Seeing Su Mu falling from the sky, Yang Yunzhong admired him but also showed a look of shame on his face.

"I failed to provide adequate protection, please punish me, sir."

Yang Yunzhong said.

Su Mu had just arrived in Songjiang Prefecture when he encountered an assassination attempt.

Isn't this a slap in the face of the Taiping Division in public?

Although Su Mu was not injured, Yang Yunzhong now wished he could find a place to hide.

"Nothing to do with you."

Su Mu said calmly, "Master Zhang, please tell Lord Fuzun for me that there is no need for a welcoming banquet.

This pacification envoy was assassinated in the street. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Zhang Luzhong climbed up from behind the stall, still in panic.

He has always lived in a peaceful place and has never encountered such a thing.

"Captain Yang, take everyone back for investigation."

Su Mu ignored his meaning and said coldly.

"Yes."

Yang Yunzhong's face turned serious and he said in a deep voice.

"Return to the Taiping Division!"

Su Mu flicked his sleeves and shouted.

…………

It was not until Su Mu disappeared on the street that a group of doubtful faces appeared in the buildings beside the street.

"Brother Wenren, you didn't say you wanted to assassinate Su Zhenfushi in the street!"

A middle-aged man said in a deep voice with anger on his face.

"I didn't do it!"

Wen Renyuan's face was also filled with shock. "I guarantee with the reputation of the Wen family that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with our Wen family!"

He knew that no matter how stupid the person was, it was impossible for him to assassinate a Taiping Division pacification envoy in the street.

Not to mention whether Su Mu can be killed, even if he can, the Taiping Division will definitely settle accounts afterwards.

After the last incident with Wenren Jiangbo, Li Tingkui had already attacked the Wenren family.

How could the Wen family do something provocative to the Taiping Division again?

To cause trouble to Su Mu is to cause trouble to Su Mu. We should be fair and just in business.

But assassinating Su Mu is different.

"If it's not you, then who is it? The Su Zhenfu Envoy is in Xiangzhou, but you, the Wen family, are the only enemy, right?"

A middle-aged man does not believe in tunnels.

"How do you know that we are his only enemy and you can stay out of it?"

Wen Renyuan said unhappily.

"Now is not the time to argue about this!"

A middle-aged man in a green shirt said in a deep voice, "Now we should think about what to do.

I have studied Su Mu's resume. When he was the Sima in the outer city of Wuling City, he took advantage of the situation and subdued all the families in the outer city of Wuling City in one fell swoop.

I'm afraid he'll do it again now."

Everyone was stunned, with confusion on their faces.

The middle-aged man in blue shirt explained, "The Taiping Division's pacification envoy was assassinated in the street, who was the mastermind behind this?

Now the Taiping Division can use this as an excuse to investigate anyone they suspect!
Anyone who refuses to cooperate will be deemed an accomplice of the assassin and his death will be in vain!
The charge of assassinating the Taiping Division's pacification commissioner is something that even you, the Wen family, cannot bear!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted and their faces changed drastically.

"You guys think, could this assassination be staged by Su Mu himself?"

Wen Renyuan said in a low voice.

"Is it important?"

The middle-aged man in green shirt shook his head and said, “He was stabbed in the street, this is something that everyone has seen, whether it’s fake or real.

I don't care what you do. Now, I am going to the Taiping Division to pay a visit to the new governor. The assassination has absolutely nothing to do with my Chen family!"
