The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 48: Leverage (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly recommendation)
Su Mu followed the two people into a restaurant.

The restaurant's decoration is luxurious and exquisite, and all the waiters are young girls.

Even though Su Mu didn't know much about the inner city, he knew that such a restaurant in the inner city was probably not affordable for ordinary people.

He went straight to the private room on the top floor. As soon as he entered, Su Mu saw several women in light gauze with graceful figures dancing to the sound of zither and harp.

There is such a luxurious scene in broad daylight.

Is this a restaurant or a brothel?

Su Mu was secretly complaining in his heart, but he also saw clearly who had invited him over.

Besides the dancer, there was only a young man who looked like a handsome man in the room.

The young man was about 27 or 28 years old, and he was hugging people left and right very casually.

The woman on the left handed the glass to his lips, and he drank the wine without moving a finger.

"Sir, people have brought it."

The two people who brought Su Mu here stood at the door and bowed.

The young man laughed loudly, pushed away the girls on both sides, and sat up straight.

"Are you Su Mu?"

His eyes fell on Su Mu, looking him up and down, "You are quite courageous. Do you know who Xu Mingchen belongs to?"

"Could it be your man?"

Su Mu said calmly.

While the other person was looking at him, he was also looking at the other person.

This young man has tight skin and flesh, which shows that his body has been tempered.

I just don't know to what extent his skin, flesh, and bones have been tempered.

"He's not stupid enough to guess that he's mine."

The young man said.

Su Mu was speechless and lowered his evaluation of this person by a few points.

You came to me and asked me this right away. Do you really need to guess? Even a fool can tell that you have a relationship with Xu Mingchen.

"Since you know Xu Mingchen is mine, then you should know that when you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner first."

The young man said coldly, "Now that you hit him in the face, it's equivalent to losing my face.

What do you think should be done about this matter? "

"That's a bad word."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it was Xu Mingchen who made you lose face.

He has violated the Great Xuan Law, and he might end up implicating you.

I'm teaching him a lesson so that he can be more careful in the future. This will only benefit you, not harm you."

"nonsense!"

The young man said coldly, "Do you think you can get away with this by making such a fuss?"

"Bullying a peasant like you doesn't show my ability."

He paused for a moment and continued, "I am in need of someone to do some work. I think you have some skills, so I will give you a chance to work for me."

"In this way, even if the matter between you and Xu Mingchen is an internal fight, no matter who wins or loses, it will not affect my reputation."

The young man talked incessantly, not giving Su Mu a chance to react.

Su Mu felt like his eyes had been opened.

This young man's thinking is quite unique. If your subordinates fight among themselves, doesn't it show that you are incompetent? How can you have face if you can't even control your subordinates?
"I'm afraid it's not possible to do anything for you."

Su Mu shook his head and said.

"Ok?"

The young man's face turned cold, and the dancers subconsciously paused.

"So, you don't want to take the way out, but choose to go to a dead end?"

"I don't understand the dead end of life."

Su Mu said seriously, "If you really want me to do something for you, that's not impossible, but someone must agree."

"Are you talking about He Yuxing?"

The young man said with disdain, "He dares to snatch the person I want from me?"

"not him."

Su Mu shook his head.

"Who is that? Is there someone else recruiting you?"

The young man frowned and said, "He should be the first one to get the news when Su Mu entered the inner city."

Can the recruitment of those people from the outer city be compared with that of him, the legitimate son of the Wang family?

"I can't tell you his name."

Su Mu said, "But you can ask them where they found me."

Su Mu pointed at the two people who brought him here.

"Say!"

The young man looked at his two men and shouted.

"Sir, we found him at the gate of the Taiping Division."

The two men said hurriedly.

"Taipingsi?"

The young man's body trembled noticeably and his back straightened a little, as if he was a disobedient student who suddenly heard his head teacher peeking at him from behind.

"You are working for the Taiping Division? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The young man seemed to realize that his reaction was a bit inappropriate, and he became angry and embarrassed.

"Given your status and position in the inner city, how could I deceive you?

You only need to ask around to find out.”

Su Mu said, "You should already know who I am.

Aren't you curious about where I, a refugee, learned the sword skills?"

"this--"

The young man's pupils contracted.

According to the news from Xu Mingchen, Su Mu seemed to have mastered the sword skills, but he did not say where Su Mu learned the sword skills from.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that the sword technique I practice is called Fu Bo Sword Technique, which was given to me by that master."

Su Mu bowed in the direction of the Taiping Division and spoke.

As soon as these words came out, the young man and his two men all took a breath of cold air.

Even the dance and music stopped abruptly, and the dancers and musicians looked at Su Mu in awe.

The young man also realized the difficulty of the situation.

His name was Wang Guan, and he was the eldest son of the Wang family, one of the four major families in the inner city.

But even with his status, he can't afford to offend the Taiping Division.

He was thankful that those killer gods didn't come to trouble him, so why would he take the initiative to provoke them?
This Su Mu is obviously not a member of the Taiping Division, but since he is being taught swordsmanship, he must have been noticed by someone in the Taiping Division.

Su Mu looked at Wang Guan and found that he was actually trembling slightly, and he felt a little surprised.

It seems that the deterrent power of the Taiping Division is even greater than he thought, and it almost makes people like Wang Guan tremble in fear.

Su Mu was not afraid of Wang Guan asking around, because he did not tell a single lie from beginning to end.

The Fu Bo sword technique was indeed given to him by his brother "Taiping".

At most, he just used some insignificant techniques in his expression, but he definitely did not lie.

Wang Guan’s misunderstanding was due to his own misunderstanding and had nothing to do with him.

Even if he went to the Taiping Division to inquire, he could only find out about the Fu Bo Sword Technique.

Brother Taiping may not have the time to explain anything to him.

"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings!"

Wang Guan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Brother Su, we are family. I have known for a long time that Xu is not a clean hand and has committed crimes without telling me. Even if you didn't do it, I would have wanted to teach him a lesson.

Brother Su helped me a lot this time."

He stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Brother Su, please sit down. Please give me some face today and let me treat you well."

"It's getting late. I have to get out. I can't stay overnight in the inner city."

Su Mu said.

"Brother Su, don't worry. I'll say hello to the City Guards. Who dares to drive you out of the inner city?"

Wang Guan patted his chest and said.

"Brother Su, please take a seat!"

Wang Guan called out enthusiastically, "Everyone, get moving, keep playing music and dancing..."
