My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield

Chapter 157: You Like Being Toasted?

Recently, another interesting event had happened in the Great Zhou Imperial Court, and that was Ji Yuchenʼs reappearance.

He was appointed as Prefectural Magistrate of Fu Ning County in Jiang Prefecture.

Although his official position was not high, he had special privileges. Firstly, he did not need to listen to the orders of Jiang Prefectureʼs government dispatches, and could directly report to the emperor. Secondly, all the matters in Fu Ning County, including the taxes and taxes, were completely unrelated to Jiang Prefecture.

It could be said that this was a test site set up by Emperor Zhou.

This would allow Ji Yuchen to trial and error, and slowly advance his tax system.

Before he left, Ji Yuchen came to see Su Wen again.

After chatting for a while, Su Wen sent Ji Yuchen out of the city.

Standing at the city gate, Su Wen looked at Ji Yuchenʼs departing carriage and could not help but sigh.

Su Wen admired such an old man.

When he returned home, Su Wen picked up the two pieces of intelligence that the Secret Shadow Guard and Sun Wei had sent over.

This had become his daily habit.

It allowed him to understand many things about the capital.

The Northwest Qiang tribe sent a messenger to the capital, and the messenger met the crown prince…

The Third Prince wanted to find an opponent and sent out a letter to invite any 9th Grade Star Rank from the martial world to come to the capital to challenge him. There would be a generous reward given.

Su Wen shook his head slightly. This fellow sure knew how to play.

Wu Kunhu had paid a visit to Jing Duke recently. It was said that he wanted to arrange a marriage for Wu Muyu!

Pa!

Su Wen slapped the table fiercely.

He frowned in displeasure!

Although he was about to get married, it did not mean that he would allow Wu Muyu to marry someone else!

”Jing Duke…”

He pondered for a moment. Jing Dukeʼs title was hereditary. As the founding general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the rewards he received were hereditary and extremely honorable.

It could even be said that in terms of status, Su Wen really could not compare to him.

Although Su Changqing had authority, once Su Changqing passed away, it was still unknown what the Su family would be like. However, this family was hereditary and would be passed down forever. As long as they did not rebel and the Great Zhou Dynasty was not destroyed, they would always exist.

This was also one of the reasons why the Great Zhou valued and encouraged men to establish military contributions.

The current Jing Duke, Xu Qiao, didnʼt just have an empty position. He also held a position in the army.

Although his position couldnʼt be compared to Wu Kunhu, in terms of his identity, he was superior to him.

The two of them could be considered as of equal statuses.

”Su Wen, bad news!”

As he was thinking, he saw Wu Lie rush in.

He pulled Su Wen and said, ”This is bad! My father wants to find a partner for my sister!”

At this moment, the gatekeeper also rushed in.

He said anxiously, ”Young Master, Young Master Wu barged in directly. I couldnʼt stop him!”

Su Wen waved his hand and signaled for the guard to leave, leaving him and Wu Lie alone.

Su Wen asked in a deep voice, ”How many sons does Xu Qiao have?”

In his memory, Xu Qiao had more than one son!

Wu Lie was shocked. ”How did you know?”

Su Wen sneered. ”Why wouldnʼt I know? Donʼt forget, Iʼm the commander of the Secret Shadow Guard, and I supervise officials. Your father is among them!”

Wu Lie hurriedly said, ”Itʼs Xu Qiaoʼs third son, Xu Longcheng! Xu Qiao seems to have already agreed! My younger sister is having a fight with my father at home. The house is in chaos, so I took advantage of the chaos and ran out.”

Su Wen looked at Wu Lie and sized him up before whispering, ”Brother Wu, I need your help.”

He started to whisper into Wu Lieʼs ear.

As Wu Lie listened, his eyes widened. Finally, his head began to shake like a rattle.

”No! Absolutely not! My father will beat me to death!”

Su Wen flew into a rage. ”Donʼt you have any sense of responsibility? Arenʼt you a man? For the sake of my happiness and your sisterʼs happiness, whatʼs wrong with you being the big brother? Donʼt worry! When the time comes, you can rest for a few days and Iʼll treat you to a few days of fun at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion!”

Wu Lie gritted his teeth… before saying in a deep voice, ”Then itʼs settled! Isnʼt it just a beating? For the sake of my brother, Iʼll accept it!”
