What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 185 The Empress's Brother-in-Law Bullies Su Mo, and She Is Enraged!
The burly man in the brocade robe unleashed a burst of sword energy from his long saber, slashing down like a bolt of lightning towards Baihu and Yaowan!
Countless people who witnessed this scene were shocked and their breath caught in their throats!
It's obvious at a glance that this is the work of a martial arts master!

Only martial arts masters can project their inner energy and condense it into a blade of light!
The power of this strike is terrifying!
These two vicious dogs are doomed this time!

Yuyin Pavilion is one of the twelve most famous multi-story ships on Xima River, making a fortune every day. How could it not have a truly powerful figure in charge?

The burly man in brocade robes is undoubtedly the Grandmaster who guards the Jade Sound Pavilion!

It should be noted that the expenses incurred by martial arts masters in their cultivation are not necessarily much less than those of immortal cultivators.

Even martial arts masters can be poor!

Countless people secretly lamented the loss.

These two large dogs were incredibly powerful and fast, and could even exhale demonic energy to disperse the force of a punch!

It must be a truly wealthy and powerful family; the fierce dogs used to guard their home must have taken a lot of effort to train!
Such a spirited and ferocious dog is extremely rare. If given the right opportunity, it could even be promoted to a mountain spirit or monster, with combat power comparable to a martial arts master or a sorcerer who has transcended the divine realm.

If the dog owner is willing to sell it, it will definitely fetch more than three thousand taels of silver!
Unfortunately, the vicious dog, worth over six thousand taels, died under the sharp blade!

No one believed that a vicious dog could withstand a martial arts master's full-force attack!
You Li and Wei Zhengguang, who were also on the third floor of the ship, both showed regret upon seeing this scene. They almost couldn't help but take action, but the distance was too great and it would be futile, so they held back.

Such a vicious dog, if brought under our command, would surely help the Imperial Guards solve major cases more easily!
Su Mo's expression changed drastically!

But he was too late to save them!

Just then, two cold glints suddenly appeared, striking first and cutting through the blade light unleashed by the burly man in brocade robes!
The one who made the move was none other than Nangong Sheyue!
The burly man in the brocade robe's expression changed drastically!

The woman intervened to save two vicious dogs!
I had clearly misunderstood.

These two vicious dogs were actually kept by the Ning Duke's Mansion!

The problem is, even though his blade aura was cut off by Nangong Sheyue, the first half of the blade aura still continued its momentum, and it looked like it was about to sweep past the two ferocious dogs and cut them into four pieces!

In that instant of lightning.

Leng Liuxi frowned slightly.

With a barely perceptible flick of his sleeve, the blade's edge vanished without a trace.

The burly man in the brocade robe in the distance simultaneously felt a force as overwhelming as a tidal wave and as heavy as a mountain pressing down on him!

The body was lifted into the air uncontrollably.

He only stopped when his back slammed into a pillar of the ship with a thud!

He stared at Nangong Sheyue with horrified eyes!

Though it may sound slow, all changes actually happen in the blink of an eye!
To outsiders, all they saw was the burly man in brocade robes unleash a burst of sword light and slash at the ferocious dogs, then the sword light dissipated, and the two dogs were unharmed.

On the contrary, the martial arts master was sent flying into the air and crashed into the ship's pillar!
Everyone was so shocked they couldn't speak!

With so many people attending the Little Orchid Pavilion Poetry Gathering, there must have been some highly discerning experts among them.

The terrifying nature of this attack was immediately apparent.

But who exactly is this person, so terrifying that even a martial arts master would find it difficult to withstand a single blow!
Could it be that tall, stunningly beautiful woman?
With a single, graceful movement, Nangong Sheyue retracted both crescent-shaped short blades.

He couldn't help but steal a glance at the Empress out of the corner of his eye.

I was at a loss for words.

As the Empress of the Empire, Leng Liuxi would actually take action for two dogs!
This is such an overreaction!

When was the last time the Empress made a move?
It seems the crown prince was the one who was killed?

Of course, even those beside him, such as Su Mo, Zhang Xuzu, and other grandmaster-level experts like You Li and Wei Zhengguang, were present.

Nobody knew that the one who actually made the move was the masked woman in green!

You Li and Wei Zhengguang exchanged a glance, both seeing the apprehension in each other's eyes!
Unexpectedly, Nangong Sheyue, the commander of the Fengming Division, possesses such terrifying strength!

They couldn't even see how Nangong Sheyue managed to send a martial arts master flying from several meters away!
Although the strength of this burly man in brocade robes is certainly no match for theirs.

But a martial arts master is a martial arts master.

The fact that Nangong Sheyue could easily suppress the burly man in brocade robes also means that it would be no difficult task for Nangong Sheyue to kill them!

Two mountain dogs pounced on Su Mo, nuzzling his head affectionately!

I had no idea that I had just narrowly escaped death.

Su Mo put away the Five Thunder Technique that he hadn't been able to release.

Pushing the large dog off him, he said to Nangong Sheyue with a serious expression, "Thank you for your help, sir, for saving their two dog lives!"

Su Mo has been raising the mountain chaser since it was a puppy.

Before leaving Changping County, they had been kept for more than a month; it would be a lie to say there was no affection between them.

The two large dogs, in particular, were very intelligent and used to follow Su Mo around everywhere.

Nangong Sheyue's expression turned strange. Not knowing how to answer, she simply kept a cold face and remained silent.

Zhang Xuzu looked at Nangong Sheyue with awe, then his eyes gleamed as he looked at the two large dogs at Su Mo's feet, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "What fine dogs!"

"Where did Lord Su find... these two fierce dogs?!"

He was not as brave as Su Mo, so he didn't dare mention the White Tiger Pill!
Cao Feng also said with envy, "These two dogs have actually cultivated demonic energy, which is truly rare. Their combat strength is probably at the level of a second-rate martial artist!"

"If raised properly, given time, it can rival a top-tier expert!"

Su Mo chuckled: "Brother Cao has a good eye!"

Cao Feng chuckled: "What good eyesight? I just have an old servant in the manor who is good at handling dogs and keeps a few good dogs. That's all I know."

He paused, then added with a hint of regret, "It's a pity that none of them are as good as Lord Su's two fierce dogs."

"If there is an opportunity, I would like to ask that you lend me these two dogs to breed with my fierce dogs!"

Su Mo laughed and said, "Of course! Of course!"

At this moment, the burly man in brocade robes, along with several elite guards on the third floor, walked toward Su Mo and the others with solemn expressions.

The White Tiger Pill instantly bristled!
Leaning forward, baring its fangs, its dog-like eyes gleaming fiercely as it stared intently at the burly man in brocade robes!

The burly man in the brocade robe looked speechlessly at the large dog, which was extremely hostile.

He looked at Nangong Sheyue with awe.

Finally, his gaze fell upon Su Mo's tiger-patterned robe, and his expression immediately turned serious. He quickly cupped his hands to Su Mo and said, "I am Shi Xuan, greetings, sir!"

"Second Steward of Yuyin Pavilion".

"I didn't know the two dogs belonged to you, sir, and almost injured them by mistake. Please forgive me!"

Su Mo smiled and said, "It was just that my two dogs were reckless, and it had nothing to do with Steward Shi. There's no need to take it to heart."

He is not an unreasonable person.

From Shi Xuan's perspective, the sudden appearance of two large dogs rushing onto the ship naturally required him to intervene.

Just as Su Mo was about to tell Shi Xuan and the others to leave, his expression suddenly darkened slightly, and he snorted, "Aren't you coming over here!"

Everyone was stunned.

Then two female scholars disguised as men timidly peeked out from around the corner of the corridor.

Shi Xuan, being sensible, took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

When Xue Yishu approached, Su Mo glared at her irritably: "What exactly is going on here?"

Now that Su Mo's official prestige was growing daily, and Xue Yishu was feeling very guilty, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Su Mo snorted again. Now was not the time to reprimand her; she would deal with her when they got back.

His gaze fell on Meng Danying, and his voice softened somewhat: "Are you the daughter of Lord Meng Yuankai?"

Meng Danying looked at Su Mo with surprise and suspicion: "How did you know?"

"Who are you?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the tiger-patterned clothing worn by Su Mo.

Her pretty face immediately paled!

Although she had never seen a tiger-patterned robe, how could she not know the power of a robe with a dragon pattern!
Her father, a fifth-rank official, did not receive any official robes bestowed by the imperial court!

Meng Danying glanced nervously at the others again, and what she saw made her even more flustered.

Nangong Sheyue was a high-ranking official.

Zhang Xuzu is clearly a scion of a noble family!

Meng Danying dared not utter any more nonsense.

Leng Liuxi, however, looked at Xue Yishu, who seemed uneasy, with interest and smiled, "So you are the daughter of Magistrate Xue Shan?"

"He is indeed handsome; no wonder Su Langjun is so attached to him!"

He paused, then laughed and said, "However, you should probably avoid such places of entertainment in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yishu was somewhat displeased.

She used to dare to climb over the wall to escape her arranged marriage, so it was only natural for Su Mo to reprimand her. However, he couldn't very well let a woman he didn't know lecture him, and he didn't dare to argue back.

This woman in green doesn't look like a courtesan.

But she's not a girl yet!
Why can she come, but I can't?
She couldn't help but argue, "We're just here to watch the poetry recital!"

Meng Danying nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"

She waved the poems she hadn't yet handed to the Jade Sound Pavilion: "We also prepared a poem!"

Leng Liuxi smiled and said, "May I have a look at it?"

Although Meng Danying was somewhat reluctant, she still handed over the paper.

Leng Liuxi took it and read: "The Double Ninth Festival promise to Xuexue was broken, and the end of the year still shows her pride in her white robes. It's not that the Jade Consort is too lazy to sleep, but the warm weather of the mortal world has misled the Jade Pool."

He nodded slightly and said, "This 'Chi Xueyin' is quite fitting for the occasion and can be considered a good work, but the writing style is a bit immature, so it may not get a good ranking."

Upon hearing this, Meng Danying immediately objected: "This humble woman dares to ask you, madam, what makes this poem seem so immature?"

Leng Liuxi chuckled and casually handed the poems that Nangong Sheyue had copied to Meng Danying.

Meng Danying took it with suspicion and was immediately dumbfounded.

Then, looking at the Empress in shock, he asked, "This...this was written by my wife?"

He paused, then couldn't help but ask, "Are you also here for the Little Orchid Pavilion Poetry Gathering?"

Leng Liuxi looked at Su Mo and said, "These two poems were written by Lord Su."

"I've heard that Master Zhiru's masterpiece will also be featured at this Little Orchid Pavilion Poetry Gathering. I wonder what Miss Meng thinks of Lord Su's two poems compared to Master Zhiru's masterpiece?"

Meng Danying hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "But Mr. has not produced any poems."

"Those two poems... were just... were just submitted by a young woman using Mr. Zhiru's name."

Su Mo was stunned upon hearing this.

He also said that Xue Yishu had brought out his poems.

So I misunderstood her?

However, she still deserves a good scolding for running away from home.

Just as Su Mo was about to speak, several men dressed in brocade robes but dressed as servants, with an imposing and arrogant air, swaggered towards Su Mo and the others.

The guy at the head, dressed as a butler, first sized up Su Mo a few times.

Seeing Su Mo dressed in tiger attire, he didn't even bow to Su Mo. Instead, he pointed at the White Tiger Pill and said expressionlessly, "These two large dogs are for the Imperial Uncle's residence!"

As he spoke, two wicked servants behind him stepped forward with ropes in hand, about to put them around the necks of Baihu and Yaowan!

You Li and Wei Zhengguang, who were not far away, were slightly taken aback.

Then a cold glint flashed in his eyes!
Recently, Lu Wenxuan has somehow become quite close to Zhang Guojiu.

You Li and Wei Zhengguang were naturally very wary.

However, Su Mo is no simple character either.

Last time, because of the Yanyu Tower and Baiyujing incident, he had a good fight with Zhang Shouning.

The matter involved the Fengming Division, and although You Li was the Deputy Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he could not find out much.

But Baiyulou and Yanyulou are still under Su Mo's control!

It was clear that Zhang Shouning was the one who suffered a setback!
Although this judgment was hard for You Li to believe, it was the truth!

Now that the people from the Imperial Uncle's Mansion have come to Su Mo again, You Li is naturally holding his breath, watching how Su Mo will deal with it, and also seeing if he can find any clues about Su Mo's true background!
Just as You Li and Wei Zhengguang had predicted.

Upon hearing that the other party was from the Imperial Uncle's residence, he ordered his men to capture his two large dogs!

Su Mo's face suddenly darkened: "How dare you!"

"Where did this wicked servant come from, daring to impersonate a servant of the Imperial Uncle's household and tarnish the Imperial Uncle's reputation!"

As he spoke, Su Mo flicked his hand and slapped the two wicked servants who had stepped forward to seize the white tiger and the pills, sending them flying. They instantly spat out blood, and several of their teeth fell off the deck!

Su Mo's current strength is already at the level of a half-step martial arts grandmaster.

He delivered two powerful slaps in anger.

The two wicked servants were slapped unconscious!
The steward of the Imperial Uncle's mansion was immediately dumbfounded, staring at Su Mo in disbelief!

After a long while, he suddenly flew into a rage, angrily pointing his finger directly at Su Mo, almost touching Su Mo's nose, his voice trembling with anger: "You...you have such audacity!"

"They actually injured people from the Imperial Uncle's residence!"

"You're rebelling... ah... ah..."

The man's angry voice suddenly turned into a scream.

Su Mo coldly grabbed his finger and snapped it off with a sudden force!
You Li and Wei Zhengguang were instantly dumbfounded and looked at each other.

This Su Mo...

Whose subordinate is it?
Isn't he being a little too brave?

Uh...it seems...nominally...Su Mo is one of our subordinates?
You Li and Wei Zhengguang immediately sensed something was wrong!

It's best not to get involved in anything!

The servants of the Imperial Uncle's mansion, who were used to being fierce, could no longer hold back when they saw this. They angrily drew their sharp blades and slashed down at Su Mo without hesitation!

Leng Liuxi's pretty face suddenly turned cold!
Su Mo was wearing an imperial tiger-patterned robe!

How dare the servants of the Imperial Uncle's Mansion attack Su Mo?

My dear uncle, how arrogant you are?
