Chapter 127: A Show of Power (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)

When Su Mu and Luo An Ning arrived at He’s house, it was already bright.

The door that was broken by Luo An Ning had naturally been replaced long ago.

Su Mu came to the two brand new vermilion doors and raised his hand to pat them twice.

After a moment, the door opened.

The person who opened the door saw a pair of men and women standing outside, with extraordinary grace and appearance, like gods.

Especially the brocade and black shirts they were wearing, and the word “Tai” written in a flamboyant style on their chests, which directly attracted his attention.

Taiping Commander!

The man was startled and looked up. After seeing Luo Anning’s face clearly, he seemed to react. He yelled, turned around and ran away.

“Master, it’s bad, the eldest lady of the Luo family is here again!”

While running, he was shouting loudly.

“Junior Sister Luo, it seems that your reputation has caused the He family to be suspicious.”

Su Mu said with a smile, raised his hand and shook the two doors open completely, then slowly stepped over the threshold.

“If you have never done anything wrong in your life, you won’t be startled by someone knocking on your door at night. They are afraid of me because they have done too many wrong things.”

Luo An Ning said calmly and walked in side by side with Su Mu.

As soon as the two of them walked into the yard, a group of martial artists who were guarding the yard rushed out from all directions with nervous expressions and surrounded them.

“Miss Luo, what are you doing here again?”

A martial arts master who was guarding the courtyard shouted, his face full of vigilance.

“There is no Miss Luo here, only Taiping Commander Luo Anning.”

Luo Anning said, “Taiping Duwei Luo Anning and Su Mu have been ordered to assist Shennong Baicao Sect in finding elixirs. Go and report.”

“All gone!”

At this moment, a scolding voice was heard, and He Gongxiu, the head of the He family, walked over from the back of the crowd and said, “You are making a fuss over such a small matter, aren’t you afraid of disturbing the nobleman?

All of them dispersed!”

The martial arts masters who were guarding the courtyard looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and then dispersed.

He Gongxiu came to Su Mu and Luo An Ning, looked at them, and there was a smile on his face.

Just looking at his appearance, it is impossible to imagine how tense the two sides were before.

“When I woke up this morning, I was wondering if the people sent by the Taiping Division were old acquaintances. I didn’t expect that there were actually two of them.”

He Gongxiu smiled and said, “I trust your abilities. Young Master Feng’s safety is in your hands.”

Luo An Ning’s expression remained unchanged. She didn’t think much about it. She just thought about how to complete the task.

Su Mu raised the corner of his mouth and looked at He Gongxiu.

Ask them for help? What qualifications do you, He Gongxiu, have to ask them for help on behalf of the true disciples of Shennong Baicao Sect?

He Gongxiu’s words actually imply that his relationship with Feng Zhengqian is extraordinary.

The Shennong Herb Sect is a behemoth and is qualified to have a dialogue with the Taiping Division.

A true disciple who comes to a small place like Wuling City is naturally a high-ranking figure.

Especially since he came here with a mission and on behalf of the Shennong Herb Sect.

Even the Wuling City Taiping Division had to send people to protect him.

“Mr. Feng was exhausted last night and has not yet gotten up. Would you two please wait in the hall?”

He Gongxiu said.

“The medicine-hunting team of Shennong Baicao Sect has to search for medicine everywhere. They are tired after traveling all the way. We just need to wait for a while.”

Luo An Ning spoke in a businesslike tone, not noticing anything was wrong.

Miss Luo is not critical of individuals but of matters. She thinks that everyone is just like her and will do everything seriously when doing something.

They are just trying to intimidate you, Miss Luo.

Su Mu said in his heart.

The Taiping Division is not a subordinate of the Shennong Baicao Sect, and the Taiping Commander is not an ordinary guard either.

Feng Zhengqian showed this attitude from the beginning, obviously telling the two of them who has the final say on this drug-hunting team.

You Taiping Duwei are just guards. He, Feng Zhengqian, is the one with the final say. If he tells you to wait, then you have to wait.

Su Mu realized that this mission might not be so easy to accomplish.

Their mission is to assist Feng Zhengqian in finding the elixir and to protect Feng Zhengqian’s safety.

If Feng Zhengqian doesn’t cooperate, then there will be some trouble.

No matter how powerful the Taiping Division is, it cannot stop someone from committing suicide.

We have to think of a solution. It doesn’t matter whether Feng Zhengqian is dead or alive, but the refining of the Zhuangxue Pill cannot be affected. Moreover, it cannot affect the cooperation between the Taiping Division and the Shennong Baicao Sect. It’s a bit difficult.

Su Mu thought secretly in his heart.

Another hour passed, almost noon, when Feng Zhengqian finally got up.

A young man, about 27 or 28 years old, came into the hall surrounded by a group of people.

He glanced at Su Mu and Luo An Ning casually, then walked straight to the chair and sat down.

Seeing him sitting in the main seat without any hesitation, Su Mu knew that his judgment of this man was correct.

“Please forgive me, Captains. I was so absorbed in studying the art of alchemy last night that I was too exhausted. So I slept for two extra hours. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.”

Feng Zhengqian looked at the two of them and smiled faintly.

“It’s okay, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the business.”

Luo Anning said.

Su Mu looked at Feng Zhengqian and complained in his heart, “Can you deal with the scent of powder on your body before speaking? Are you studying the art of alchemy at the same time as rouge and powder?”
“Feng will certainly not delay the important matters.”

Feng Zhengqian said, “Excuse me, the Taiping Division only sent two people here. Isn’t that too careless of this matter?”

“Mr. Feng, you just don’t know anything.”

He Gongxiu said with a smile, “These two Taiping Commanders are extraordinary.

Commander Luo is the daughter of the mayor of Wuling City and the number one of the younger generation in Wuling City.

Captain Su is even more amazing. Although he was born a refugee, his talent and understanding are unparalleled in the world. In just a few years, he has achieved his current position.

By the way, Commander Su, you have also comprehended the artistic conception of Kanshui, and you are a famous genius in Wuling City.”

“Gorgeous? Do you know what a ‘Gorgeous’ is?”

Feng Zhengqian looked at Su Mu with scrutiny, smiled faintly, and said, “You were born in a small place, so it’s normal that you don’t have much knowledge. The word “prodigy” can’t be used casually.

The true genius, as I see it now, is like a frog in a well looking up and seeing the moon.

Although the two have some talent, there is still a big gap between them and the real geniuses.

I am a straight talker, so please don’t take it seriously, Captains.”

“That makes sense. How can we compare with Tianjiao?”

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, “We are just two small Taiping commanders.

But Envoy Feng doesn’t need to worry. The two of us are just the front scouts. After we leave the city, our brothers from the Taiping Division will be waiting in the mountains. This will not delay the search for the medicine.”

“So, very good.”

Feng Zhengqian waved his hand casually, “Time is running out, go get ready, and we’ll leave the city after I finish my meal.”

…………

“Master Feng, these two people have always been proud of their outstanding qualifications and are very arrogant in Wuling City. Only Master Feng can make them obey his orders.”

He Gongxiu ordered his servants to serve sumptuous wine and food, and while pouring wine for Feng Zhengqian, he spoke flatteringly.

“They are just two small Taiping lieutenants. When I was in the clan, the people I interacted with were at least Taiping lieutenants.”

Feng Zhengqian said calmly, “Genius? Genius is just the threshold to see me.” “Yes.”

He Gongxiu said hurriedly, “It is their luck to be able to work with Master Feng. It also allows them to understand the immensity of the world.”

Feng Zhengqian glanced at He Gongxiu calmly and said, “I don’t care what grudges you have with them. Don’t be so smart. If you ruin the drug search, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

Feng Zhengqian’s words made He Gongxiu feel cold all over and he suddenly woke up.

He froze in place, unable to move forward or backward with the wine jug in his hand.

“Mr. Feng’s major event is also the He family’s business. I would never dare to affect Mr. Feng’s major event.”

He Gongxiu said carefully.

Feng Zhengqian’s expression eased slightly, and he smiled again and said, “Old He, don’t just focus on your little piece of land. If this matter is done well, the clan will not treat your He family unfairly. By then, not to mention this small Wuling City, even the Great Xuan Dynasty will have a place for your He family.

Your son’s injury has healed, so please let him come with you.”

“Thank you, Master Feng, for your support!”

He Gongxiu was overjoyed and said quickly.

He Guangshao had been injured by Su Mu before, and his injuries had been lingering ever since. This time Feng Zhengqian came and rewarded him with a pill yesterday.

After taking it, the disease was cured.

Now, not only has his injuries healed, but his cultivation has also improved further, and he may enter the stage of blood transfusion at any time.

Feng Zhengqian ate and drank casually. He didn’t care about the grudge between the He family and the two Taiping commanders.

He had deliberately intimidated the two Taiping captains and suppressed them with words, just to make the search for medicine go more smoothly.

He wanted to let the people from Wuling City’s Taiping Division know who had the final say on this trip.

As for the feud between the He family and the two Taiping commanders, in his opinion it was just a fight between two local dogs.

If He Gongxiu’s search for medicine is affected by personal grudges, he doesn’t mind letting the He family disappear from this world.

However, the He family is now more sensible, and he doesn’t mind giving them some support. After all, the He family is also a dog of the Shennong Baicao Sect.

It depends on the owner when it comes to beating a dog.

As long as it does not affect the search for medicine, he doesn’t mind helping the He family vent their anger.

…………

Outside the main gate of He Mansion.

Su Mu handed a hot meat bun to Luo An Ning.

Miss Luo was not the spoiled daughter of a wealthy family. She took the meat bun and started eating it while standing side by side with Su Mu at the gate of He’s house.

“Junior Sister Luo, do you regret it?”

Su Mu asked with a smile while eating.

“What do you regret?”

Luo Anning asked doubtfully with some confusion in his big eyes.

“If you don’t become the Taiping Commander and just stay as your Miss Luo, you won’t have to endure this kind of humiliation.”

Su Mu smiled.

“It’s nothing, isn’t that how things are done?”

Luo An Ning asked doubtfully, “Our mission this time is to protect Feng Zhengqian and the others. Although there is generally no danger in the inner city, it is always right for us to be careful and on guard.”

Su Mu: “…”

Miss Luo’s ideas in some aspects are really different from his, and she never brings personal emotions into what she does.

Su Mu is different. Su Mu admits that he is a narrow-minded person.

He looked at the gate of the He Mansion with a sneer on his lips.

“Captain of Peace, haha!”

Suddenly, a voice full of resentment came from inside the door, and then a figure walked out from behind the door.

“So what if I become the Taiping Commander? I’m still just a watchdog.”

He Guangshao stood at the gate of the He Mansion, looking down at Su Mu and Luo An Ning, and said with resentment on his face.

“He Guangshao?”

Su Mu glanced at him and said, “Shennong Herb Sect is really capable. They made you healed so quickly.

Didn’t it hurt you enough last time? Do you want to try again?”

His tone turned cold, and in an instant the air around him became two degrees colder. Within a radius of ten feet, there was a feeling of heavy rain.

He Guangshao subconsciously took a step back, painful memories flashed through his mind, and his face suddenly became somewhat hideous.

“You dare to take action?”

He Guangshao shouted in a timid tone, “I am also ordered to protect Young Master Feng. If you dare to make a move, the Taiping Division and Shennong Baicao Sect will not let you off!”

“On orders? Whose orders are you following?”

Su Mu said.

“I am following your orders. Do you have any questions?”

Just at this moment, Feng Zhengqian’s voice sounded, and he walked out slowly with a group of people.

“If you have any questions, go back and ask your governor. Now, your task is to cooperate with my actions. I have the final say on everything.

Understand? “

He said lightly with a hint of contempt on his face.

“There is no problem with cooperating with the operation, but the Taiping Division’s Baiyi are not qualified to participate in this operation. I don’t know when Envoy Feng has the qualifications to interfere in the internal affairs of the Taiping Division.”

Luo Anning took a step forward and said seriously.

“Taipingsi Baiyi, no, no.”

Feng Zhengqian shook his finger and said, “He Guangshao is no longer a white-robed official of the Taiping Division. He is now a disciple of the Shennong Herb Sect and my junior fellow apprentice.

I have no control over what you do in the Taiping Division, but in my team, you must listen to me. If anyone interferes with my drug search, don’t blame me, Feng Zhengqian, for being ruthless.”

Luo Anning wanted to explain something, but Su Mu shook his head at her.

“Messenger Feng is right. Since we are going to work together for the next period of time, how about we just shake hands and make peace for the time being, Brother He?”

Su Mu said with a smile.

He Guangshao’s eyes flickered and he stared at Su Mu without saying a word.

“lets go.”

Feng Zhengqian waved his hand gently.

Immediately, a luxuriously decorated carriage came from the corner of the street and stopped accurately in front of Feng Zhengqian.

Feng Zhengqian stepped onto the carriage.

He Guangshao and others quickly stood on both sides of the carriage, their movements uniform and extremely skillful.

Su Mu was stunned and couldn’t help but marvel in amazement.

From this posture, if you know someone, you might think he is going out of the city to look for medicine. If you don’t know, you might think he is some young master going out for a picnic.

“Junior Sister Luo, it will be difficult to complete this mission.”

Su Mu followed the carriage slowly, walked out of the city, and said casually,
“why?”

Luo Anning said in confusion.

“You are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but you are afraid of teammates who are like pigs.”

Su Mu said faintly.
