My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield-Chapter 251 - Money? What Money?

Chapter 251: Money? What Money?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Speaking of which, Su Wen had only met Tamu Chuan once!

At this moment, since Tamu Chuan had a smaller figure, Su Wen naturally could not recognize him at first glance.

He just felt like he had seen him somewhere before, and that he looked pretty familiar.

After pondering for a while, Su Wen really could not recall where he last saw this person.

Furthermore, at that time, Tumu Chuan was still wearing his armor and was much taller than he was now.

Most importantly, Su Wen did not consider the fact that a Fire Barbarian Battle General would steal from his house.

Instead, when he saw Sora, he still remembered. He laughed loudly and said, “Aren’t you the lady who took a fancy to Wu Lie!”

He clicked his tongue in surprise. “The two of you are too miserable. One of you is at the 9th Grade and the other is at the 8th Grade. Why are you here to steal?”

One had to know that in Su Wen’s opinion, the cultivation of these two people could be considered to be not bad.

Tamu Chuan could tell that the guy didn’t recognize him…

He let out a soft breath of relief. Sula was about to speak when he grabbed her instead.

He took the initiative to say, “This Young Master, the two of us heard that this family was rich but has moved away… We have a difficult life, so we thought of getting some money! Please don’t take offense.”

Tamu Chuan explained.

Su Wen waved his hand and stroked his chin. He pondered for a moment before saying, “In that case, help me do something. After that, I’ll spare the two of you.”

In the palace.

“Your Majesty, a Heaven Rank expert from Su Wen’s residence attacked just now. Perhaps Su Wen has returned.”

The old eunuch reported to Emperor Zhou, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Emperor Zhou opened his eyes and said coldly, “Looks like this brat finally came.”

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty, there’s movement. We’ve detected spatial fluctuations!” A Spiritual Master from the Spiritual Master Residence ran over to report.

“Where?”

“Su Wen’s residence!”

Emperor Zhou fell into deep thought.

“Your Majesty, should we make a move?” the old eunuch asked.

Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said, “There’s no hurry. Right now, we still have to form an alliance with the Chu Country. It’s really unwise to touch this brat. As long as we maintain surveillance and see how this brat moves, it’s enough. We’ll first capture his modus operandi clearly before anything else. In the future, if we make a move, we can capture him at any time!”

He muttered, “Although this brat is hateful, I have to prioritize the country. Wait until I stabilize the situation.”

Suddenly, his Star Disk vibrated again.

After the call was connected, Emperor Zhou and Su Wen looked at each other. Su Wen smiled and said, “I’m already back. Your Majesty, please place the cultivation technique and gold in front of the palace gate. I’ll send someone to retrieve them.”

“Alright!” Emperor Zhou did not ask about Su Wen’s whereabouts and agreed readily.

Soon, Emperor Zhou sent people to place the spirit artifact ring he had prepared in front of the palace gate.

In the restaurant, Tamu Chuan was very helpless. He was originally here to kidnap Su Wen, but in the blink of an eye, the guy had turned into a Heaven Rank expert!

Kidnap?

How to kidnap?

Su Wen left him behind while making Sula retrieve the spirit artifact.

“Why do you look so familiar?” Su Wen was still pondering.

He felt that he had seen this guy somewhere before.

“Hehe, I have a common face,” said Tamu Chuan in response.

Su Wen frowned. “That’s impossible! You’re so tall, I should remember if I saw you before. Furthermore, you’re a 9th Grade Earth Rank expert…”

Tall… 9th Grade Earth Rank…

Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something.

Su Wen narrowed his eyes and suddenly waved his hand.

The clothes on Tamu Chuan’s body immediately shattered.

Then… the Golden Crow Totem appeared!

Su Wen laughed maniacally. “Haha! I was wondering why you looked so familiar. So it’s you!”

“It’s not me!”

“It’s you! You even tried to stab me! Thank goodness Wu Kunhu stopped you!”

“It’s definitely not me!”

Tamu Chuan wanted to cry!

What… should he do?

Su Wen smiled and leaned over to whisper, “Why? Have you been sent to Zhou Country to be a spy?”

Su Wen never expected that this fellow was here to kidnap him…

“Huh?” Tumu Chuan was stunned for a moment before hurriedly nodding. “That’s right!”

He did not dare to say… that he was here to kidnap Su Wen.

Su Wen touched his chin and pondered. If he were to talk about the Fire Barbarians…

The southern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty was ultimately a hidden tumor for them.

If it was before, Su Wen would definitely have captured him and killed him. However, there was no need for that now. To put it bluntly, if Su Wen wanted to help the Chu Country unify the world, the number one enemy now was the Yan Country.

However, once the Yan Country was destroyed, the Chu Country’s enemy would definitely be the Zhou Country.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with leaving some trouble for Zhou.

“Not bad! You have guts! All the best, I have faith in you,” Su Wen praised.

At the entrance of the palace, the people watched as a burly woman took everything away.

Someone immediately reported this to Emperor Zhou.

“Your Majesty, do you need someone to follow her?”

Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said, “There’s no need.”

Emperor Zhou took out his Star Disk and activated it.

The two met again through the Star Disk.

Emperor Zhou looked at Su Wen and said, “I have already arranged for people to escort Wanrou’s mother north, but it will still take time. However, you have to make preparations in advance. You can wait for her to arrive before sending out your troops.

However, if your Chu Country still doesn’t make a move, I will surrender the country once we can’t withstand the pressure. At that time, it will also be the day your Chu Country is destroyed!”

It was hard to tell if Emperor Zhou’s words were true or false. No one knew what he was thinking.

Su Wen smiled. “Don’t worry… I’m not that short-sighted!”

There were no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal benefits.

In the face of benefits, many things could be put down.

Of course, there was a difference between the two.

Su Wen was not a purely ambitious person. If Su Changqing had truly died then, even if there were benefits, Su Wen would definitely seek revenge on Emperor Zhou.

However, Emperor Zhou was different. To him, in the face of benefits, he could put down many things. For example, the Crown Prince’s death, Su Wen drugging him, the Empress…

In the face of the royal authority, he could ignore all these for the time being.

After cutting off the connection, Su Wen waited quietly.

Soon, Sula returned and passed the spirit artifact over to Su Wen.

If a Heaven Rank expert had followed her, Su Wen would have left immediately.

However, it was obvious that Emperor Zhou was eager to form an alliance. He did not send anyone.

Su Wen put away the spirit artifact and smiled.

Now, wasn’t his problem of being lacking in money resolved?

He looked at the two Fire Barbarians in front of him and pondered for a moment. He smiled and said, “You two, go do what you need to do.”

“No! I want to give birth to your child!”

Suddenly, Sula uttered this sentence that made absolutely no sense.

This sentence left Su Wen completely dumbfounded.

Tamu Chuan was also shocked.

During this period of time, he had stayed in the capital of Great Zhou for too long… His aesthetics were gradually approaching that of a normal person…

No matter how he looked at her now… it was not pleasing to the eye.

He also felt that this honey trap was not reliable! But Sula still did not think so.

She remembered her mission and even winked at Su Wen as she spoke!

Su Wen’s face turned ashen in a flash.

Taking a step back, he pointed at Sula, who looked like a female version of Zhang Fei, and said angrily, “If you dare to say this again, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

“Haha! I was afraid you would be too polite. Come on!”

Obviously, her understanding of politeness was different from Su Wen!

“Atta!”

Su Wen let out a strange cry and suddenly leaped up, kicking her!

Bang!

Sula directly fainted from the impact.

Su Wen patted his shoulder and shook his head. “Don’t bring this fellow out in the future. It’s too scary!”

With that said, he did not stay any longer and directly left.

After returning to Chu, Su Wen arranged for people to wait at the border to welcome Zhao Wanrou’s mother.

Meanwhile, in the front courtyard of the Nanli King’s residence.

Su Wen and Zhao Jin stood opposite each other.

“Brother Jin… we have to chat…” Su Wen looked at Zhao Jin and sighed.

Zhao Jin hurriedly smiled apologetically when he saw this. “Young master, please speak.”

“I’m not satisfied with you! Very dissatisfied! Say, isn’t your cultivation level a little low?”

Su Wen glanced at Zhao Jin and asked.

Zhao Jin said helplessly, “Young Master, my talent is low, and my cultivation technique isn’t too good. This… it’s natural that my cultivation level is a little lacking.”

Su Wen smiled and took out a secret manual before handing it to Zhao Jin.

“The Five Tyrant Arts, other than battle techniques, there’s also a Heaven Rank cultivation technique. Take it and cultivate it well, quickly convert all your cultivation.”

Su Wen casually instructed.

“Then work hard and advance to 9th Grade Earth Rank as soon as possible. When the time comes, I’ll help you ascend to the heavens in one go!”

Su Wen said in a solemn tone!

Zhao Jin’s eyes widened!

Did he hear wrongly?

A chance to become a Heaven Rank cultivator?

He believed that Su Wen would never lie to him.

Zhao Jin couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. If he had said so earlier, wouldn’t he have worked harder?

He had always thought that he would never have the chance to take that step in his life.

Thus, he did not place much importance on cultivation.

In addition, Su Wen’s cultivation level was getting higher and higher, so his cultivation level was even less important.

In reality, Su Wen had his own considerations.

The best choices for this pill were actually Zhao Jin and Yan Ze.

However, if he gave it to Yan Ze, the problem was that Yan Ze would not obey Su Wen’s orders. There were many things that were not as convenient as giving it to Zhao Jin instead.

In addition, the current Yan Ze was more important from a general’s point of view. Once he consumed the pill, Su Wen’s strength in the military would decrease again.

In conclusion, Zhao Jin was the most suitable.

However, Brother Zhao’s cultivation was a little low.

“Don’t worry, Young Master! After today, I’ll only go out to play once every three days! I’ll definitely focus on cultivating…”

Hmm… Brother Zhao, you should take note of the balance between work and rest.

Su Wen was naturally aware of what he meant, since he was not a particularly pure martial artist as well…

Thus, he glanced at him and sneered. “Brother Zhao! If you want to say that, then don’t blame me for being impolite. Ning Shuang… come, watch Brother Jin cultivate and practice well! You’re not allowed to leave the residence until you reach the 9th Grade of Earth Rank!”

“Young Master! Don’t do this. If you do this, who will drive the carriage?”

“You don’t have to worry!”

With that said, Su Wen turned around and left.

Ning Shuang came out of the inner residence.

As someone who had become a Heaven Rank cultivator… no matter where Su Wen called her from, she would always hear it.

“Cultivate now!”

Ning Shuang looked at Zhao Jin and coldly spat out two words.

Zhao Jin said with a bitter expression, “Madam Ning Shuang… I’ll take a while… I haven’t seen this cultivation technique yet!”

“Read it aloud! And… I’m not Madam, don’t try to flatter me!”

“I —”

The arm could not win against the thigh.

Zhao Jin obediently started cultivating in the courtyard…

However, Zhao Jin soon regained his spirits.

This was a chance to ascend to the Heaven Rank!

How rare was this?

As for how Su Wen wanted him to become a Heaven Rank cultivator, he didn’t ask, and Su Wen didn’t tell him either.

In Su Changqing’s residence, the Su father and son sat opposite each other.

“Father, who do you think is more suitable to lead troops to attack in Great Chu?” Su Wen asked Su Changqing.

Su Changqing shook his head slightly and said, “It’s hard to say. There are really quite a few generals in Great Chu. After all, before Lu Zhen arrived at the Southern Front, he was always at the frontlines of the Yan-Chu battlefield.

However, according to his past achievements, most of these people have lost more than won against the Yan Country’s generals. This also leads to most of these people being good at defending and rarely taking the initiative to attack.”

“In my opinion, the Yan Country’s initial target should be the Chu Country. It’s just that it’s difficult for the Chu Country to grasp the loophole and they don’t take the initiative to attack. That’s why they are at ease to divert Lu Zhen away and move south.”

Upon hearing Su Changqing’s words, Su Wen frowned.

“Could it be that we can’t even send a single useful general?”

Su Changqing shook his head and said, “It’s not to that point. But after all, neither of us are in charge of the army, so it’s difficult to discover such military talents. How’s the investigation going after you returned?”

Other than taking away the wealth that Emperor Zhou had promised, Su Wen returned to the capital for another purpose.

It was to inquire about Zhou Country’s situation.

Su Wen said, “The battlefront has been pushed back to the front line of the Huai River. Once the Yan Country finds a way to break through the front line of the Huai River, there will no longer be any danger from there to the capital of the Zhou Country. With the current generals of the Zhou Country, I’m afraid they won’t be able to hold on.”

Su Changqing pondered for a moment and said, “I suggest that you consider transferring Yan Ze back after some time!”

Yan Ze?

Su Wen narrowed his eyes.

Frowning, he said, “But the war over at Ji Luo… it looks like it’s about to end. They’re already preparing for the Heaven Rank war. Many of them have already been transferred to the border!”

Su Changqing smiled and said, “It’s not a big deal. Yan Luoying is already enough to take charge of an area by herself! In fact, from a certain point of view, she’s more bold and sharp in her military tactics than Yan Ze.

Yan Ze seems to be rash, but he himself is a general in both offense and defense. It’s a good choice to send troops to Yan Country and fight against the Yan people. After all, Yan Ze has fought with the Yan Country for many years, and understands the most about the Yan Country generals.”

Su Wen thought about it and agreed.

He smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll go tell Feiyan about this.”

“There’s no hurry.” Su Changqing smiled and said, “We can let the local generals of the Chu Country give it a try first! That’s why I said that you can consider transferring Yan Ze back after some time.”

“Oh? Why is that so?” Su Wen was a little puzzled.

Su Changqing said, “You have to know that sometimes in national affairs, you have to learn how to divide the merits!”

“Now that Yan Ze and Yan Luoying have won consecutively in the Eastern Border, their military merits are getting higher and higher. Don’t you think there are any generals in the court who are jealous? Don’t they also want to make contributions? If you let Yan Ze lead the army now, there will definitely be a large number of people who won’t be convinced!”

“You are a person of the Zhou Dynasty. If you act like this, you will definitely lose the hearts of the people. Since that’s the case, why don’t you directly announce in the royal court that Lu Zhen is fighting against the Zhou Country and that the Yan Country’s northern border is empty? Then let them fight!

In this way, firstly, it will appear that we are not trying to take over their authority, and won’t make these Chu people feel especially dissatisfied. Secondly, once they are defeated, it will highlight the importance of Yan Ze and Yan Luoying. Whether they win or lose, it will be very beneficial to you!”

“Take another step back. If you don’t let others go now and directly send Yan Ze, In the event that he’s defeated, you will also be criticized by others. However, if the generals of Chu goes, once he is defeated and Yan Ze goes, even if he loses again, it will seem like it’s no big deal.”

Su Changqing smiled and said, “That’s why this battle has to be handed over to Chu people first.”

Su Wen looked at Old Su in admiration and gave him a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart. “Impressive, my father! I know what to do. Alright, I won’t stay here to freeload today.”

Su Wen turned around to leave, but Su Changqing suddenly said, “Wait a minute. Kid, don’t you have to return the money you got from Emperor Zhou?”

Su Wen turned around with a blank expression. “Money? What money?”

Su Changqing: “It’s the money that Emperor Zhou took when he raided our house.”

Su Wen slapped his forehead. “Oh, oh, oh! I remember now, but… what does that money have to do with you?”

Su Changqing was furious. “That’s mine! I worked hard to earn it!”

Su Wen shrugged and said innocently, “But haven’t you already been raided? The money is gone.”

“Didn’t you ask for it already?”

“Ah! What does that have to do with you? Didn’t you say that I wanted to ask for it to be returned to you?”

Su Wen and Old Su looked at each other.

Old Su sighed. “We’ll compromise, 50-50!”

“Not possible!”

Su Wen smiled. “Father, I’m doing this for your own good. You’re so young, but if I give you so much money, won’t you degenerate? It’s precisely because you gave me too much that it’s so difficult for me to break through to the Heaven Rank. I can’t let you suffer the same fate as me. I still have to keep the money. When you’re old and can’t move, I’ll use the money to serve you!”

Old Su was furious. “I don’t need that sort of treatment. Just give me the money!”

“I can’t give it to you! If you’re unhappy, you can go to the government office and sue me. If the government sentences me to give you the money, I’ll give it to you!”

‘What a scoundrel!’

Su Changqing sighed in his heart.

Why was his son so shameless!

Su Wen would never give it to Old Su.

He knew very well that Old Su did not lack money these days!

Furthermore, he discovered that there were already some Southern Ocean goods stores in Great Chu.

Who did this?

Su Wen did not believe that they had appeared out of thin air.

It could be seen that his father was hiding more things than he knew.

Su Changqing said angrily, “Can’t you be more reasonable? Where’re your morals?! Can you be more filial?”

Su Wen smiled. “Let’s talk about logic first. The money originally came from you and has already been taken away by someone. Therefore, this money has nothing to do with you, right? Now, it’s me who has taken it back from Emperor Zhou. This money is also mine. What’s wrong with me keeping it?”

“Then let’s talk about conscience. Look, Her Majesty treats you quite well, right? At the end of the day, this matter is also a national affair between Great Chu and the Zhou Country. Even if we want money, it should be given to Her Majesty. It’s up to Her Majesty to decide. We can’t split it privately, don’t you think it’s inappropriate?”

“Lastly, filial piety! Touch your heart and think about it. Am I not filial? After you died, I took the risk to run back to Great Zhou to take revenge on them. Ask Wu Qiuhan, I even drove my car to try and kill him! Look at the huge tombstone outside your city. Am I not filial enough?”

“Get lost! Scram!” Su Changqing flew into a rage out of humiliation.

He realized that he was really no match for Su Wen in bickering!

He took off his shoes and wanted to give Su Wen a good beating.

But Su Wen only laughed and escaped.

If the money fell into his hands, how could he return it to Old Su?

Of course he had to keep it!

He went straight to the palace.

The moment he entered the Royal Chambers, he caught sight of Little Xiang Yan walking over.

“Father, hug!”

Xiang Feiyan was a little helpless. Even if no one had told him that Su Wen was his father, this little fellow could still tell by the bloodline resonance.

Although he was beaten up last time…

However, he had clearly forgotten.

Su Wen picked him up and walked to Xiang Feiyan’s side. He smiled and said, “The cultivation technique and money are already here.. Let’s also prepare to attack Yan Country.”
