The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 308 Mission Rewards (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend monthly tickets)
Me? Lead you?

I, Li Chuan, will lead you to investigate a major case of treason?
Prince Gong Li Chuan felt helpless and asked, "Sir Su, have you misunderstood the situation?"

How could I have such ability?

How can I lead you?

You are the Pacification Commissioner of the Taiping Division, a contemporary genius, and a favorite in the eyes of several marquises.

How can I lead you?

I am just an idle prince who just eats and waits for death.

"Sir Su, I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest, but please don't mention the word 'leader' anymore. I really don't have that ability."

Prince Gong Li Chuan said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty is too modest. You are our backbone here."

Su Mu said calmly.

Huo Zhenting rolled his eyes secretly. He knew how treacherous Su Mu was. He was trying to trap Prince Gong to death.

…………

A barge quietly approached the shore.

In the darkness of night, hundreds of people stood on the shore holding torches. As soon as the barge docked, they immediately began to move the ore on the ship.

They moved swiftly and without making any sound, and it was obvious that they were well-trained.

Before the barge docked, Meng Wanjun and his companions had quietly climbed off the boat, with only their heads sticking out of the water, secretly watching those people carrying the iron ore.

Just as a Taiping captain was about to speak, Meng Wanjun put his finger in front of his lips and made a gesture to silence him.

Several people dressed as warriors appeared on the shore. They had a fierce aura and were at least in the True Yuan realm.

They looked at each other and silently buried their heads in the water.

The warriors boarded the barge, checked carefully, and then returned to the shore to patrol back and forth.

After a while, a Taiping captain couldn't hold his breath anymore and quietly stuck his head out of the water to take a breath.

He had just stuck his head out when suddenly a loud shout was heard.

"Someone, catch them!"

There was a sudden noise on the shore and on the boat, followed by the sound of people entering the water and fighting.

…………

Inside a mansion, the rooms are luxuriously decorated.

Several huge luminous pearls were inlaid on the wall, lighting up the entire room like daylight.

A middle-aged man in his thirties or forties was sitting behind the desk. He had a square face and a dignified look, but his eyes seemed a little too cold and stern, revealing a sense of majesty without even being angry.

A man was crouching down in the hall, reporting, "Tushan Hanyu of the Demon Court said that when they left Xiangzhou, they saw with their own eyes that Lord Li was killed by Su Mu, the pacification envoy of the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture in Xiangzhou."

"The Taiping Division's pacification officer? How can a mere pacification officer kill the emperor's uncle?"

The middle-aged man was none other than Li Shu, one of the princes of the time, who was given the title Prince Su.

Prince Su Li Shu was different from Prince Gong Li Chuan. He was more than ten years older than Prince Gong Li Chuan, and was conferred the title at an early age. His power was incomparable to that of Prince Gong Li Chuan.

"Not long ago, Su Mu once obtained a sword intent from Chen Beixuan, the leader of the Sword Sect. It was Mingyi Marquis Zhang Songtao who personally asked Chen Beixuan for it. His ability to kill Lord Li should be related to that sword intent."

The people in the hall said.

This is not a big secret and can be found out with a little thought.

"I have called back the people from the mines in advance, but just now, the people at the dock caught a few Taiping Duwei from Xiangzhou. Your Highness, I'm afraid the Taiping Division has already set its sights on us."

The man said in a deep voice.

"Xiangzhou Taiping Division?"

Prince Su Li Shu frowned, tapped his fingers on the table, and pondered, "Do they have any evidence?"

"Probably not."

The subordinate thought for a moment and replied, "The relationship between Lord Li and us is a secret. The people from the mine have been withdrawn and have not fallen into their hands.

Those Taiping commanders who came here tonight should have followed Tushan Hanyu and their boats, and they have all been captured.

Logically speaking, the Xiangzhou Taiping Division should not be able to trace the case back to us.

It’s just that we are not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one——"

"Isn't this matter the responsibility of Su Mu, the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture in Xiangzhou, in charge?"

Prince Su Li Shu said, "If we get rid of him, there will be no one to investigate, right?"

"Your Majesty, Su Mu is a worldly prodigy..."

The subordinate hesitated.

"So what if he is a genius of the time? In the end, he is only at the True Essence Realm."

Prince Su Li Shu snorted coldly, "The contemporary geniuses are at most just some of the best young people. They haven't really grown up yet, so they are not worth worrying about.

In recent years, haven't many contemporary geniuses fallen?"

The subordinate thought about it and it seemed to be true.

No matter how strong a genius is, he is still young and his martial arts level is not very high.

If one is really determined to kill a genius of the time, it is not impossible.

"Let Shisanlang go to Xiangzhou and bring back Su Mu's head."

Prince Su Li Shu said coldly, "By the way, I'll cause some trouble for Xiangzhou. They are busy with their own affairs, so naturally they don't have the extra energy to care about my affairs."

"Yes."

The subordinate said respectfully.

"It doesn't matter if they find out. I have been planning for many years. Now the arrow is on the string. No one can stop me."

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of Su Wang Li Shu, "If you stand in my way, you will die!"

His face was full of murderous intent.

…………

Meng Wanjun climbed out of the water and onto the shore, gasping for breath, with tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

He left those brothers behind.

But given the situation at the time, there was nothing he could do.

If even he is exposed, who can bring back the news from here?
If that happens, their deaths will probably never see the light of day.

So he endured it and escaped from the bottom of the water.

He watched helplessly as his Taiping Commander was slaughtered by those people.

"I will definitely avenge this!"

Meng Wanjun clenched his fists, his nails pierced into his palms, and blood immediately flowed out.

He struggled to get up, identified the direction of Xiangzhou, and was about to go back to report what had happened here.

Commander Li and Su Zhenfu will definitely avenge their brothers!
"There is still one fish that slipped through the net."

Suddenly, a voice sounded above Meng Wanjun's head.

Meng Wanjun looked up suddenly, a look of horror on his face.

I saw a person standing not far away, looking down at him.

The man was about thirty years old, with an expressionless face. He looked at Meng Wanjun without any emotion, as if he was looking at a pile of rotten meat.

“These people are becoming more and more careless.”

The man said coldly, “He’s still a Taiping lieutenant.

That's perfect. I can use you as bait to lure out that Su Mu.

It would be a shame to kill the strongest of the younger generation of the Taiping Division directly. I would like to try and see how good he is. "

As soon as the man raised his hand, Meng Wanjun's eyes went dark and he fell into a coma. From beginning to end, he didn't even see the other person's movements clearly.

…………

"You said Meng Wanjun took people to track the ship transporting iron ore, could something have happened?

It's been so many days, how come there is no news at all?"

Dongfang Liuyun said. Since they followed Su Mu to the iron mine that day, they have not left, but have been looking for clues around.

They had searched the area for miles, but still found nothing.

The only clues now are the ships carrying the iron ore.

Su Mu's expression didn't look very good either.

More than ten days have passed, and there is no news at all from Meng Wanjun and others.

He actually already had the answer in his heart, but he just didn't want to say it out loud.

In the end, I underestimated the other party.

Something might have really happened to Meng Wanjun and others.

“There are not only humans digging for iron ore here, but also dozens of monsters.

It’s impossible that there would be no trace left.”

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "Even you can't tell which direction they are fleeing to?"

"The other party is very professional and has dealt with all traces."

Dongfang Liuyun sighed, his eyes were special, but they were not omnipotent.

If one wants to touch the secrets of heaven, it requires a special opportunity. It's not that one can see it just by wanting to.

"Try again."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "It is impossible to transport so much iron ore out of Xiangzhou without leaving any trace.

Let the Xiangzhou government help investigate. If we go through the states and prefectures, there will definitely be people who see the ships transporting iron ore."

"That's all it can do."

Dongfang Liuyun said.

This kind of investigation would cause a lot of commotion, and it is unknown how long it would take to get to the bottom of it.

However, Dongfang Liuyun had no better idea. He complained a few words but still arranged it as he was told.

Prince Gong Li Chuan was sitting there like a mascot and had already dozed off.

In the wilderness, without music and dance or beauties, he really didn't know what he could do.

Su Mu just glanced at him and ignored him, thinking quietly.

While thinking, he secretly called out the system panel.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Position: Weaponsmith (concurrently), Silver-faced Assassin (concurrently), Viscount (Victor), Pacification Envoy (Fourth Rank)]

[Points: 230000 points]

[Realm: True Yuan Realm]

[Magic Powers: Immortal Golden Body, Bloody Body, Giant Body]

[Kung Fu: Qiankun Infinite True Essence Technique (Great Mastery)...]

[Martial Arts: Thunder Artistic Conception (Great Success/+), Gen Mountain Artistic Conception (Great Success/+), Kan Water Artistic Conception (Perfect), Qian Heaven Artistic Conception (Perfect), Xun Wind Artistic Conception (Perfect), Li Fire Artistic Conception (Perfect), Archery (Perfect)]

[Vision: Fire and Wind Cauldron, Fire and Wind Family, Deduction +]

[Skill: Heavenly Artifact Refining Method (Beginner)]

In just over half a month, the points on the system panel have accumulated to 230,000 points.

When Su Mu was being hunted by the possessed Fu Qingzhu, he spent 300,000 points to deduce the strange vision of Fenghuo's family and successfully counterattacked.

After deducing the strange phenomena of Fenghuo family, he actually only had 30,000 points left.

In the past half month, the points earned every day added up to nearly 100,000 points.

These are actually only 130,000 points.

As for the extra 100,000 points, Su Mu guessed that it should be the reward for completing the task.

Marquis Mingyi asked him to investigate the disappearance of Fu Qingzhu and others, and to find them alive or dead.

When Su Mu found Fu Qingzhu, the mission had actually been completed.

Therefore, the system panel directly awarded 100,000 points.

This kind of temporary task sometimes rewards a lot of points.

"Finding Fu Qingzhu and the others is only the first step, but the real murderer has not yet been arrested."

Su Mu thought to himself, "If I can get a reward of 100,000 points for this, how much reward should I get if I can find out the mastermind behind this and completely solve this case?
If I break through a million points at once, I can first upgrade the Qiankun Wuliang Zhenyuan Jue to the state of perfection."

Su Mu now understands why many Zhenyuan realm warriors have wasted years and are unable to break through to the Jindan realm.

The threshold to the Jindan realm is one reason, and the speed of accumulating true essence is another.

After a warrior breaks through to the True Essence Realm, he needs to refine the breath between heaven and earth into True Essence through breathing, and use it to fill the acupoints in the body.

This process is neither difficult nor easy. It is a long and arduous process.

The only difference is that some people accumulate one every day, while others accumulate ten every day.

But to fill it up inside the body, it takes enough time.

Su Mu is facing this dilemma now. He is young and has only been practicing for a short time.

Although there is help from the system panel, it still requires a full one million points to reach the True Yuan Realm from great success to perfection.

This also requires enough time.

Now Su Mu suspects that what happened to Fu Qingzhu and others may involve treason, and Su Mu's heart is filled with a strong sense of uneasiness.

Given Daxuan's current situation, if a rebellion really breaks out, the entire Daxuan may really fall apart.

Once things really develop to that extent, strength is the only factor to survive in troubled times.

Only with sufficient strength can you bring yourself enough sense of security.

"Too slow, I need Zhen Yuan Dan or Yang Yuan Dan."

Su Mu said to himself.

One million points, with his current status, would take two hundred days to earn five thousand points a day.

This time is not long for a warrior in the Zhenyuan realm.

If someone said that he could improve his True Yuan Realm cultivation from great success to perfection within a year, it would definitely surprise everyone and make them envious.

But for Su Mu, it was too long.

Who knows when the rebellion will break out.

"Prince Gong."

Suddenly, Su Mu's heart moved and he turned to look at Prince Gong.

Prince Gong, who was dozing off, suddenly raised his head and looked around in panic, "Who called me?"

"It's Master Su. Master Su, what do you want me to do?"

Prince Gong Li Chuan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and smiled flatteringly.

Su Mu: "..."

What on earth has this kid been through? He is a prince, but his waist is so weak.

This skilled look makes people feel a little distressed.

"Prince Gong, I heard that the royal family has a kind of elixir that has a similar effect to the Taiping Division's Zhenyuan elixir. I would like to buy some from you. Is it okay?"

Su Mu pondered.

"Master Su, are you talking about the Dragon Yuan Pill?"

Prince Gong said, "Master Su, if you say buy it, isn't that a slap in my face?

You have been working day and night for the peace of Daxuan, and you have solved such a big case.

I am not qualified to reward you, Master Su, but if I still accept money from you for a few Dragon Yuan Pills, am I still a human being?"

Prince Gong Li Chuan took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom without hesitation and handed it to Su Mu, saying, "I have a quota of ten Dragon Yuan Pills every year. I have taken three this year, and I have seven left. I will give them all to Lord Su. Lord Su, please do not refuse!"
