The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 30 Rejection (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
Su Mu is not averse to taking sides.

If you want to get involved in a gang, let alone in this chaotic world, even in the world of his previous life, forming cliques and factions for personal gain are still everywhere.

But not being opposed to taking sides does not mean not being opposed to being a dog.

When choosing a team, he must choose one that shares the same ideals as him, or at least one that gives him enough respect.

It was obvious that He Yuxing did not regard him as someone worthy of equal treatment.

He just threw down a piece of meat and called out, "Come and eat."

If Su Mu accepted it with his head wagging his tail, he would just be a dog of the He family.

For ordinary constables, having the chance to serve as a dog for the He family is indeed an opportunity.

As long as you agree, you can not only get a beautiful wife, but also become a boss immediately.

In fact, with the He family as his backer, it is not impossible for him to become a constable.

It is like having a smooth road in front of you.

He Yuxing couldn't think of any reason for Su Mu to refuse.

Under normal circumstances, a constable who comes from a peasant background may not be able to become a team leader in his lifetime, let alone a constable.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Su Mu, waiting for Su Mu to kneel down and thank him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sima."

Su Mu bowed slightly and clasped his hands together.

A smile appeared on He Yuxing's face. As expected, no one could resist the temptation of power.

But the next moment, the smile on his face froze.

"But if I haven't established my career, how can I have a family?"

Su Mu continued, "I am neither good at literature nor martial arts, and I have no achievements to speak of. I am not even qualified to start a family now."

"Are you rejecting me?"

He Yuxing said with a look of disbelief on his face.

"I have set my heart on martial arts in this life and have no intention of marrying a wife."

Su Mu said seriously, "So I can only let Sima down."

He Yuxing narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, and stared at Su Mu.

Su Mu sighed in his heart, if you say you want to marry your daughter to me, then I will consider it to some extent, but as a maidservant - it's not that I, Su Mu, look down on people, you are obviously asking me to work like a slave for you, and I am not stupid, so it would be strange if I could agree to you.

He also knew that if he rejected the olive branch extended by He Yuxing, he would definitely offend him. If things went wrong, He Yuxing would directly smash the cup as a signal, and then five hundred swordsmen would rush in and hack him to death on the spot...

Su Mu secretly raised his vigilance in his heart. If He Yuxing really made any unusual moves, he might as well stage a scene of anger and blood splattering within five steps.

It is definitely impossible to escape, but the distance is so close, and if He Yuxing is taken along, there is some hope of doing it.

Just as Su Mu was thinking about this, He Yuxing finally spoke.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. If that's the case, I won't force you. Go down."

He Yuxing said in a cold tone.

Su Mu left He Yuxing's classroom with a nervous mood, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he walked back to the constable's classroom.

"Did I think too highly of myself? I am just a small constable, but the great Sima of Nancheng City probably doesn't take me seriously. Recruiting me was just a whim. Even if I was rejected, he didn't take it seriously."

Su Mu thought to himself, "Although I can forget about being reused, I guess they don't bother to spend the effort to target me."

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Su Mu knew in his heart that he was just an ordinary constable now. If he hadn't killed a few criminals on the wanted list by chance, Sima He Yuxing might not even know who he was.

Just as Su Mu was thinking about it, acting chief constable Zhao Ji walked in.

"Xiao Su, why did Lord Sima summon you?"

He asked in a casual tone.

Ever since Su Mu went to see Sima, he had been secretly paying attention to what was going on. As soon as Su Mu came back, he immediately walked over pretending to inspect the classroom.

"Sima said that he had a maidservant in his house who was about my age, and he wanted to give her to me as a wife."

Su Mu said casually.

The smile on Zhao Ji's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, still looking very happy.

"Brother Su, since the first time I saw you, I knew you were no ordinary person." Zhao Ji patted Su Mu's shoulder and said, "I have been observing you these days. I think that with your ability, you are more than qualified to be a squad leader!"

A look of surprise appeared on Su Mu's face. Lose in one place but gain in another?
Sima He Yuxing is not particular, could it be that Zhao Ji has a keen eye for talent?

"Thank you, Captain, for the promotion!"

Su Mu bowed and said that he would certainly not refuse the opportunity to be the squad leader. After all, the higher the status, the more points he would get every day.

"Hey! Why call me Captain? Call me Brother!"

Zhao Ji deliberately frowned and pretended to be angry.

"Brother Zhao?"

Su Mu hesitated for a moment and said weakly.

"now it's right!"

Zhao Ji said with a smile, "We are one family, no need to be so polite, you are lucky, marrying the maid of He's house, you will be one of Sima's family in the future, and you have a bright future.

Who knows, in three to five years, you might even become my superior. "

"Brother Zhao, thank you for the compliment."

Su Mu said.

"I have been in and out of Sima's house several times. I wonder which girl Sima has given to you, my brother? I may have even seen your sister-in-law."

Zhao Ji said.

"I do not know either."

Su Mu shrugged, spread his hands and said, "I rejected Sima's kindness and didn't ask these questions."

"you--"

Zhao Ji blinked and asked, "Rejected Sima?"

"Yes, I'm still young, and I haven't mastered martial arts yet. I don't have the intention to start a family yet."

Su Mu said as a matter of course.

"Brother Zhao, I remember that the squad leaders all have their own jurisdictions, right? Where is my jurisdiction?"

Su Mu asked.

"What brother!"

Zhao Ji said with a straight face, "When you're working, you call your position!"

"Young people should be down-to-earth and stop thinking about taking shortcuts. You've only been a constable for a few days and you want to be a squad leader?
Do you have the ability? Just be a good detective first, and don't aim too high!
If you don't want to be a constable, then go and be a policeman!"

After being scolded, Zhao Ji walked away, shaking his sleeves.

"Captain Zhao, calm down. Captain Zhao, please walk away."

Su Mu said loudly, not taking Zhao Ji's words seriously at all.

When Zhao Ji's figure disappeared, the smile on Su Mu's face gradually disappeared.

He couldn't help but sigh.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

He just wants to do his job well, why is it so difficult?
"It must be that my strength is not enough."

Su Mu said to himself, "If I am already a warrior in the Body Tempering Realm, what can He Yuxing and Zhao Ji do to me? If they don't want me here, I will find another place to stay."

For a body-tempered warrior, there are many things he can do. Even if he doesn't become a constable, there are still many ways to make a living.

"Anyway, Zhao Ji can't just dismiss me from my job. I have to do my job well first, accumulate enough points, and then perfect the Fu Bo Sword Skill."

Su Mu secretly set a small goal in his heart.

"Brother Zhang San, is it your turn to patrol tonight? Is there anything going on at home? Do you need me to take your place?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a constable walking in, and Su Mu immediately asked.

The constable Zhang San was filled with surprise and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "You really did it for me? Thank you so much!"
