Chapter 457: Slaughtering into the Prefecture
The mysterious masked person did not make a move; after confirming their suspicions, they vanished into the darkness.
Su Ping's Avatar also sensed something, yet he likewise did not take the initiative to make contact with the other party.
He sat in command at the Su Family, having slaughtered all the experts who dared to invade the Su Family.
He began to take action, starting to hunt down those experts who had entered the county city.
Some of these experts intended to lie in wait for an opportunity, while others had witnessed First-rate Experts being finished off like chopped vegetables and were, for the moment, too cowardly to continue carrying out their mission.
Yet they were unwilling to return empty-handed just like that.
As a result, this hesitation led them to encounter the hunt by Su Ping's Avatar, adding a few more corpses to Luanzang Gang.
And it moved like a blurred shadow around the cavalry.
The Prefecture Governor gathered his colleagues and together they submitted a memorial to the Capital.
And even though the horses were so exhausted they refused to run, the other party continued to move forward at a steady speed.
The Yuanwu Emperor was over fifty, and the first half of his life could be considered that of an ambitious ruler.
Releasing his perception, Su Ping was surprised to discover that in the entire county city, there was no one left who held hostility toward him.
Immediately, the warhorse knelt to the ground, and blood began to flow from its nostrils and ear canals.
It was just that good times did not last; as the Yuanwu Emperor's energy declined, his trusted aides died one after another or retired.
The Chief Hall Master waved his hand, signaling his junior fellow apprentice to step back, and then he began to summon his trusted disciples to come over...
Su Ping gave his approval to the courage of this fat general.
But from then on, the monopoly law existed in name only in the local regions.
It was still such an absurd plot and reason.
His own bounty was also to be cashed out by the Prefecture side.
The other party's helmet was dented in by a large chunk.
"That's not right, how could a person of destiny be so bloodthirsty?"
After walking out of the city gate tunnel in this manner and arriving at the street entrance.
A soldier felt something was wrong and tentatively asked:
"What is your name?"
This was not just leaving no way out for himself, it was leaving no way out for the entire family behind him!
With such a great bandit, if there isn't a 'nine-kin extermination' game, how can imperial power remain stable?
Upon seeing the memorial from Prefecture Governor Sima, two of the three Grandmaster retainers of the Great Xia imperial family were moved to action.
He took out an Iron Bone Mace the length of an arm.
And even took advantage of the night to wipe out the local powerful clans?
He wanted to slaughter all the local powerful clans in Changle County.
Not long after.
Many among them had never in their lives missed their ancestors so much!
The ancestor Su Juxia was currently having his path blocked by a few soldiers.
Soon, the city gate soldiers who had reacted grabbed their weapons and charged up, screaming.
At the very least, he could arrange for people he knew inside and out to be in key positions.
Those people were not afraid of death because the subsequent benefits were enough for them to risk their lives.
"General Luo... was knocked down in a single blow!"
The Chief Hall Master sighed with regret:
And as they saw the fat general's mounted retainers launch a charge after coming to their senses.
It took only a day and a night for Prefecture Governor Sima's memorial to be placed on the Yuanwu Emperor's desk.
Even if Great Xia's communications were backward.
Upon discovering that Su Juxia had truly gone in the direction of the Prefecture and had also displayed extraordinary special abilities.
He chose to believe this guy.
The Yuanwu Emperor suddenly spoke again to issue an order.
In just a few breaths.
Su Ping's Avatar did not even use a weapon; he simply grabbed those who approached and threw them away, moving as if through an empty land.
Quite a few people guessed that the other party had headed to the Prefecture.
"What is going on!"
This military officer was broad-shouldered and fat, and his warhorse was no ordinary creature.
The hundred officials also wanted Su Juxia to die!
"I don't think well of this operation; even if we win in the end, I fear there will be heavy casualties, with not one in ten surviving!"
Relying on a deputy general with the strength of a First-rate Expert to change horses day and night to head to the Capital.
Some sect forces began to enter the city and immediately surrounded the Su Family.
"This ability, this appearance!"
As for the people in Changle County, after learning that the troublemaker Su Juxia had left.
"Su Juxia."
"How is this possible?"
He was summoned over by the Chief Hall Master for questioning.
Recalling the character of this junior fellow apprentice throughout his life.
Su Juxia's whereabouts could be considered the most important matter in the current Changle County.
Before long, sounds of obedience immediately came from the dark corner.
The Head Master was somewhat skeptical.
Nowadays, even the common folk in the Capital dare to say that the dynasty will not last three hundred years.
"I heard that previously, he suppressed a civilian riot of tens of thousands with only a hundred cavalry!"
He also learned his lesson, arranging many young talents for the Crown Prince, hoping that the people available to the Crown Prince after he ascends the throne would be far more numerous than his own.
Even the Yuanwu Emperor remembered the name, considering him one of the candidates who could become a high official in the new dynasty.
Yet, every aspect of the dynasty is going downhill.
The fact that so many experts who went in ended up being pushed out as corpses was, after all, shocking enough.
On the ground lay a field of warhorses and those servants.
This soldier was sent flying.
Even the Salt and Iron Monopoly System, which he had held in his hands, was already in name only, just waiting for him or the new emperor to hold their noses and cancel it.
He fell to the ground with a muffled groan.
The leaders of these sects were all worried: what if that Su Juxia returns?
If he cannot kill the big shots in the Prefecture, can't he specifically target their small sects to kill?
There was no other way; the Yuanwu Emperor had no one to use and could only rely on himself and the old men to barely maintain order.
"This is that fiend from Changle County."
Upon learning that they were going to deal with Su Juxia.
He picked up the Iron Bone Mace he had obtained from the Jianwu General, then strode out of the county city gate and headed toward the Prefecture.
"With your ability, are you not a match for the opponent in a single exchange?"
He watched the other's back disappear at the street corner.
The Yuanwu Emperor considered himself a heroic ruler of his generation and did not want this, yet he could find no solution.
If he waits any longer, wouldn't the entire Great Xia run into trouble?
The Yuanwu Emperor had already received secret reports from his spies.
He also tried to promote newcomers, but the result was either that they were too stupid and botched things, or they were too selfish, and after the task was done, they became too powerful to control.
"A person of destiny?"
Thus, when Su Ping stood at the gate of the Prefecture, looking at that wall at least thirty meters high.
He looked like a fierce general.
This matter could not be suppressed any longer.
The Lion-Head Master nodded repeatedly:
"Not only that, I can feel that it is not that the opponent lacks the realm to unleash a lethal Secret Technique."
The Yuanwu Emperor's first thought was to kill.
Various forces had entered Changle County, including even those who had rushed over from the Prefecture.
Detecting the Chaos, two lieutenants on the city wall brought soldiers down.
Around the street corner, countless people witnessed this scene, everyone astonished.
It seems that having more corpses at Luanzang Gang is still very useful.
He prepared to use thunderous force to exterminate the nine generations of that Su Juxia.
They were no longer sensitive to titles like "Blood-Hand Human Butcher" or "World-Confusing Demon King."
And then, after reading the memorial from the Sima Prefecture Governor.
"Correct, this is the seasoned way!"
Only then did he see an armored general riding a horse and charging over.
The soldier trembled slightly, and after his shock, he grew furious and raised his spear:
"We cannot make a move; we must even protect these members of the Su Family."
"The World-Confusing Demon King, Old Master Su Juxia!"
However, they were terrified by the corpses at Luanzang Gang.
His neck was gripped by a large hand, and after being lifted up like a chick.
A prefecture with a population of ten million was actually shaken to its core because of one person, with officials fearing for their lives.
Even when encountering post stations along the way, Su Juxia would choose to go in and eat and drink openly.
"To make a move and claim credit, one must at least confirm that the fiend has been executed before acting!"
After reaching the age of fifty, the Yuanwu Emperor killed more and more people, with princes, nobles, and high officials all being executed.
"However, I will recommend Master Zuo and Master Luo to go on my behalf."
"They are also long-renowned master martial artists and have always intended to pursue an official career to secure a future for their juniors."
These soldiers looked at Su Juxia.
The Avatar of Su Ping walked out of the Su Family residence.
Another new day arrived.
This fat general rode his horse, swaying as he charged forward for more than ten meters before slowing down and stopping.
The more he looked, the more he felt that this gentleman looked so much like the portrait on the bounty notice at the city gate.
Thus, after a moment of silence, the Head Master suddenly broke his own thigh with a palm strike.
He was stunned to discover that in this vast dynasty, the people he could trust and use were becoming fewer and fewer.
After smashing through a wall with one punch, the staff at the post station would often become reasonable and amiable.
Even the common folk were accustomed to being influenced by various boasts and exaggerated stories.
There was no help for it, who told Su Ping's Avatar to kill the Commandery Governor, the Assistant General, and the Jianwu General.
He stood up and walked a few circles.
"Senior Brother! You know me!"
He sidestepped to avoid the opponent's long spear while simultaneously striking the opponent's helmet with an Iron Bone Mace.
After a loud clanging sound.
A Zhumo Camp had already been established.
As soon as Su Juxia moved, the spies from various families began to move.
He became the first person in the Prefecture to be thrown into the sky.
Relying solely on the strength of one Prefecture to deal with him was a thankless task.
Plus the hundreds of experts sent by major martial arts halls and sects upon receiving orders.
"The opponent... just feels that brute force alone is enough, and doesn't bother using Secret Technique to deal with us."
Don't look down on those powerful clans just because they are only within the commandery.
They saw that extraordinary old man, holding an Iron Bone Mace, greeting the cavalry's charge.
But this Changle County... what is that Su Juxia plotting?
Just to clear his mind and vent his anger?
The Yuanwu Emperor thought for a day and a night, but still couldn't understand why that Su Juxia had to burn all his bridges.
It was just that, as more and more news came in from different channels.
"And regarding the miraculous experiences of this Su Juxia, has anyone thought of anything?"
The corpses at Luanzang Gang also cannot be fake.
"This old man accidentally broke his leg and is unable to answer the call to deal with that demon."
But was sent flying at an even faster speed.
He was followed by dozens of mounted servants, but they were quite confident in their general and did not choose to follow along.
Furthermore, as the master-level expert from the Prefecture also died at the opponent's hands.
"Oh, Su Juxia, hmm? Su Juxia?"
So, realizing he couldn't solve it himself, he began to intentionally cultivate the Crown Prince.
The result was that things went increasingly poorly.
This Lion-Headed Hall Master no longer felt embarrassed, and immediately bowed his body, cupped his fists, and shouted: "No!"
Following that, he expressed his feelings about Su Juxia without reservation.
Although they later sent a large army to kill the so-called culprits and suppress the rebellion.
A similar incident happened five years ago, right?
Now that no one is coming to find him, he has no choice but to go himself.
"..."
In the end, it turned into that person chasing after the fleeing mounted servants to beat them.
The Yuanwu Emperor became even more determined to act quickly to serve as a warning to others.
But very quickly, these spies discovered that even on fast horses, they could not keep up with the opponent's speed.
Therefore, when they learned that this person had been killed.
Twelve Guest Minister masters, six of whom had gathered.
The Yuanwu Emperor was also somewhat bewildered.
The Lion-Headed Hall Master of the Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Hall had just found a room for his disciples to stay and recover from their injuries.
"Where did this madman come from, coming to impersonate a wanted criminal!"
At that time, civil unrest appeared in commanderies that strictly enforced salt and iron laws, and the Commandery Governors and County Magistrates who supported imperial power were all hung at the city gates.
"And it was purely relying on strength?"
Their attitudes and behaviors toward the Su Family became ambiguous.
The fat general tilted his whole body and fell to the ground with a thud.
But when it comes to their marriage ties, after hundreds of years of management, it is no exaggeration to say they are spread across the north and south.
"That is General Luo! He is the best fighter in the Prefecture, right?"
This caused the uninformed Su Family members to hide in the main hall, trembling and constantly hoping the Old Ancestor would return soon.
"Hiss!"
That Commandery Governor of Changle County.
"Not to mention, I don't believe they can win! That guy is simply a monster who doesn't know fatigue!"
Under the terrified gazes of other soldiers and peddlers.
And then they also flew into the sky.
"Have the Dragon Might Army and Huben Army each dispatch three battalions... no, five battalions."
This time, even the censors who opposed everything were surprisingly quiet and did not go to cause trouble for the Emperor.
The Head Hall Master stared into the Lion-Headed Hall Master's eyes.
"However... just in case, we must indeed be cautious regarding the Su Family."
Did such a thing as a knight-errant from a storybook killing a Commandery Governor really happen?
The Lion-Headed Hall Master's mouth twitched; as he watched his Senior Brother nod, he was also grateful that he believed him.
He didn't continue to kick them while they were down, just feeling that the force sent by the Emperor looked more than sufficient.
Even if this would incite civil unrest supported by powerful clans and cause his other plans to fall short, he wanted to explode with a wave of force regardless of everything.
The garrison commander at the city gate rushed over with his trusted aides, only to be sent flying the very next second.
The big shots of the Prefecture also gradually acknowledged that Su Juxia of Changle County might truly possess the strength to stand against a thousand.
From the grandmaster of the previous night raid, he already knew the other party had been invited by the Prefecture Governor.
The soldiers had just finished shouting.
The various big shots inside the Prefecture were completely unaware that the fiend from Changle County was now at the city gate.
"Look, those cavalrymen are charging!"
The officials in the Capital already knew that the Yuanwu Emperor was going to dispatch troops to Changle County to deal with one person.
He devoted himself to governing, suppressed dissent in all directions, vigorously cracked down on local powerful clans internally, and reclaimed the rights to salt and iron mines for the imperial family, greatly consolidating imperial power.
Someone knowledgeable exclaimed aloud:
Even among the princes and nobles in the Capital, if one searched carefully, one could always find a daughter from some branch who had married into them, or who had married a daughter from one of those families.
"Is this the fiend who wiped out an entire army single-handedly?"
"Looking at it now, the rumors might have even understated it!"
"Heavens, this fiend has come to the Prefecture; those masters are in for a miserable time now!"
