Chapter 1186: He Still Prefers to Roam Outside

Deputy Mayor Lu didn't dare ask Su Yang; seeing Si Derong walk out, he asked softly, "Director Si, what happened? Why is General Su so angry? Who upset him?"

"It's the Shoushen Sect!"

"What nonsense is the Shoushen Sect pulling now?"

Si Derong sighed helplessly: "After learning General Su had arrived in the north… they fled outright!"

This intelligence didn't need to be kept secret.

The Shoushen Sect had occupied several cities in the north; once they withdrew, the news would spread across the entire northern region quickly.

One high-ranking official exclaimed in surprise: "The Shoushen Sect withdrew? Isn't that good news?"

Deputy Mayor Lu also chimed in: "Exactly! Isn't that good news? We don't have to fight, don't have to suffer unnecessary casualties, and we can reclaim those cities—shouldn't this count as good news?"

Si Derong rubbed his forehead, then muttered softly: "It really is good news. When I went to find General Su, I was actually happy… but after he flew into a rage, it suddenly felt like bad news…"

"Uh!"

Several high-ranking officials exchanged glances.

Liu Mengyun reminded them from the side: "General Su wants to establish authority, wants to kill. The Shoushen Sect ran away—of course he's not happy!"
