My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Chapter 141 - Murder

Chapter 141 Murder

When Wu Muyu saw that this Old Wu had lost his temper, she quickly went forward and held onto her father’s arm. She said in a coy voice, “Father, I’m not hiding anything from you. I know that Su Wen is engaged, and I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I just want to make friends with him, I don’t have any other intentions.”

Wu Lie gaped.

Was that the case?

When Old Wu heard Wu Muyu’s words, he started to ponder. If it was really as Wu Muyu said, she seed to at least know her limits.

Even though he was still extrely displeased, the rage in Wu Kunhu’s heart had cald down greatly.

“Hmph! What befriending him? He’s just a playboy!” Wu Kunhu harrumphed in dissatisfaction.

At that mont, Wu Lie, who was kneeling on the ground, could not help but interrupt. “Father, that Su Wen’s martial arts are excellent. He’s also quite loyal. He can be trusted at critical monts. He can be considered a friend!”

After all, he had fought side by side with Su Wen and both of them had risked their lives. Even at the most critical mont, Su Wen did not show any signs of retreating. This also made Wu Lie acknowledge Su Wen from the bottom of his heart.

Wu Kunhu was enraged when he heard this. He wanted to beat him up imdiately, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had already beaten this son of his up quite a few tis today. It wouldn’t be appropriate for him to beat him up again, so he resisted the urge to kick him.

He only disdainfully replied, “I don’t care who he is, but since he already has an engagent, Muyu, it’s not appropriate for you to get too close to him. As for Wu Lie, the matter of you selling your sister for 1,000 taels is considered over. Find a ti to invite Su Wen to our house. After this al, stay away from that brat. He doesn’t have any good intentions!”

Wu Muyu secretly curled her lips, taking the words at face value.

Su Wen and Zhao Wanrou had a al and chatted for a while before Zhao Wanrou also bade farewell and left.

After leaving the Su Residence, a trace of disappointnt flashed past her eyes.

She got into the carriage and looked out the window as the carriage drove on. She could not help but feel confused. She liked Su Wen, but she did not know if she and Su Wen had a future together.

Yan Luoying and Wu Muyu were both daughters of the military. Although in terms of status, it seed that she, the princess, was superior; but she was clear that a princess like her did not hold a high position in the Zhou Emperor’s heart.

Especially now, as Su Wen’s engagent had not been annulled even after Emperor Zhou had spoken to Yan Luoying about it. This showed how important Yan Luoying was to Emperor Zhou.

Even if the engagent was annulled… there was still Wu Muyu.

The more she thought about it, the more helpless she felt. In the end, she could only sigh.

The next afternoon, Su Wen woke up to find that it was drizzling outside.

“Zhao Jin… prepare the carriage!”

Su Wen prepared to set off. However, when he reached the door, Su Wen suddenly realized that Chu He had disappeared.

“Where’s Chu He?”

Su Wen asked.

Zhao Jin said honestly, “Chu He issued a challenge to ng Zhiping, the chief instructor of swordsmanship in the Capital City Province[1]. They agreed to fight in the northern suburbs today, so he went out early in the morning!”

Su Wen was furious, “Why didn’t you tell ?”

Zhao Jin said with a bitter smile, “Young Master, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you. It’s just that Chu He said not to tell you. He said that the battle between him and ng Zhiping will determine life and death. Young Master, you have a special status. If you go and watch the battle, ng Zhiping will definitely have so scruples, and his sword will definitely be weaker by 30%. He would then consider himself to have won unfairly.”

Su Wen sneered. “Nonsense, even if he loses, I won’t let him kill my people!”

Zhao Jin looked at Su Wen and said seriously, “Young Master, Chu He is different from . No matter how hard I work, no matter how much I do, I will only reach 9th Grade Earth Rank at most. However, Chu He has a chance of ascending to the Heaven Rank. Young Master, if you really want him to be good, you have to let him experience true hardship.”

Su Wen muttered to himself for a mont before saying, “Then all the more we have to follow along. What if soone plays dirty?”

At this mont, a figure appeared in the distance.

As he slowly walked in the rain, Su Wen focused his gaze. It was Chu He!

However, at this mont, he seed to be in a sorry state.

There were dozens of wounds all over his body and they were all bleeding. It could be seen just how bitter this battle was.

After walking closer, Su Wen saw that there was also a sword wound on his throat. Although the wound was not deep, it was obvious that he had been on the brink of death.

“You won?” Su Wen asked.

“Won!”

“Where’s the opponent?”

“Dead!”

Su Wen looked at Chu He and said, “Go back and rest well.”

“Alright!” Chu He had clearly expended a lot of energy in this battle.

He seed a little dispirited. However, his posture still remained ramrod straight.

Watching him enter, Zhao Jin was sowhat worried. “Chu He killed ng Zhiping. Will there be any trouble?”

Su Wen said with a smile, “What trouble could there be? According to the laws of the Great Zhou, as long as both parties agree to a battle, life and death will be in their own hands. ng Zhiping and Chu He fought a decisive battle and naturally he deserved to die. Didn’t Chu He issue a challenge openly?” Zhao Jin shook his head and said, “The letter of challenge was issued openly, but this ng Zhiping is sowhat different. While he is based in the governnt, he has a wide network of friends and is quite loyal. Even in the martial world, his reputation is quite high. Although there is no grudge between life and death in a duel between martial artists, with ng Zhiping dead, how can his family leave the matter at that? How can his old friends and brothers leave the matter as such?”

Su Wen frowned. There was truth in his words.

If anyone were to kill Su Changqing, Su Wen would definitely take revenge regardless of whether it was a fair duel or not.

“Go, pass down the order. Find soone to give ng Zhiping’s family a hundred thousand taels of silver! Try to make it up to them!”

Actually, Su Wen also knew that sotis, so matters were very nonsensical.

For example, this ng Zhiping. He was living a good life, but when soone ca up to challenge him, he agreed and was slaughtered as a result. He died an innocent death.

But this was the world.

Who asked you to agree to the duel in the first place?

No one could do anything if you died.

If he insisted on being a coward and didn’t accept the challenge, it would be impossible for Chu He to kill him.

But no matter what, to ng Zhiping and his family, this was an extrely painful matter.

At ng Zhiping’s house, he was lying in a coffin.

Compared to Chu He’s sorry state, ng Zhiping was much better. There were no wounds on his body. Only his glabella had a spot of red. He had been killed by Chu He’s sword aura.

The coffin was placed in the hall, surrounded by family mbers.

“Father! Why did you die just like that!”

“Master! What should we do?”

“Wuwuwu-“

The entire hall was filled with sorrow.

At this mont, a middle-aged man rushed in.

“Big Brother! Big Brother!” he cried loudly.

ng Zhiping’s son, ng Wei, stood up and shouted, “Uncle Yao, you’re finally here! You have to avenge my father!” A fierce light flashed in Yao Gu’s eyes. “Who killed my Big Brother?!”

ng Wei picked up Chu He’s challenge letter and handed it to Yao Gu. “It’s this person!”

Yao Gu received the challenge letter and saw the words written on it.

“I am Chu He, a junior who has been practicing the sword for many years. I heard that you are the Head of Swordsmanship in Capital City Province. Your swordsmanship is outstanding. Please fight with . There shall be no victory or defeat in this battle, and we will only decide through life and death. I hope that you will pay attention to this. Chu He, signing off!”

The sword aura in this post was awe-inspiring. Clearly, Chu He was displaying his strength.

It was also precisely because of this that ng Zhiping agreed to the duel.
