Chapter 941

Honglian originally thought that Su Xuan's seclusion this time would take a long time, because Su Xuan had already said that he needed to go into seclusion for a few days.

As a result, she did not expect that after only one night, the next day, Su Xuan came out of seclusion.

"Your seclusion is already over?"

Looking at Su Xuan who came out of seclusion, Honglian was a bit surprised. Could it be that he didn't go into seclusion at all? Was it because the dishes she made were too unpalatable, so he used seclusion as an excuse to run away and hide for a while?

Honglian thought of the bite she took yesterday, and a feeling of vomiting was about to surge up.

For such unpalatable things, it was a pity that Su Xuan could still eat them and even give her a review.

Honglian inexplicably gave birth to a hint of guilt. She was indeed not suitable for cooking.

However, she really wanted to do something for Su Xuan.

If it was practicing martial arts, Su Xuan's strength was the top in the world. Even if she exhausted her life, she would not be able to see Su Xuan's back. If it was learning medicine, according to what she knew, there was a divine doctor like Nian Duan in Su Xuan's Yin-Yang School. Nian Duan's disciple, Duanmu Rong, was even less of an ordinary person. Not long after following Su Xuan back from the voyage, her medical skills seemed to have improved again, gradually having a trend of being famous in the world.

What Honglian could think of was only to take good care of Su Xuan in the details.

For example, when Su Xuan returned, make a few small dishes for Su Xuan, letting Su Xuan feel the warmth of home.

But facts proved that she was indeed not that material.

After realizing this, Honglian was very frustrated.

Su Xuan looked at Honglian, who was a bit guilty, and seemed to guess what she was thinking. Looking at her, he smiled, "I have some things to do and need to go see His Majesty the Emperor. You make food here and wait for me."

"Some things, if you don't try, how do you know you have no talent?"

"Cooking is something you learn!"

"Of course, if you are really interested in this kind of thing, I can recommend a teacher to you, the Mohist leader Paoding. His family has been great chefs for generations, and his cooking skills are top-notch in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Honglian was stunned.

Su Xuan knew early on that the food she made was not good? He just deliberately didn't say it.

Honglian's guilt became more intense. By the time she came back to her senses, Su Xuan had already walked past her and left the Grand Master's Mansion.

Inside the Zhangtai Palace, Su Xuan saw Ying Zheng without any effort.

After all, he was the Grand Master and possessed various privileges. For example, being able to enter the palace to see the Emperor anytime, anywhere, was one of the privileges Ying Zheng gave him.

"Zhao Gao is already dead!"

Looking at Ying Zheng, who was handling government affairs, Su Xuan opened his mouth, and it was like a thunderclap exploding in Ying Zheng's ear.

Ying Zheng's hand holding the writing brush shook slightly, and a drop of ink fell on the paper in front of him.

Ying Zheng looked at the paper in front of him, was stunned, then put down the writing brush, and looked at Su Xuan, "Is what the Grand Master said true?"

He tried hard to calm himself down. Although he tried to be as calm as possible in his words, the shock in his heart was hard to suppress.

It was also not Ying Zheng's fault for being like this.

After all, yesterday Su Xuan saw the news of Zhao Gao's betrayal, and then said in front of him that he could kill Zhao Gao from a thousand miles away. Ying Zheng was half-believing and half-doubting Su Xuan's words, and also wanted to know how Su Xuan would do it.

As a result, he did not expect that after only one night, Su Xuan said he had killed Zhao Gao.

Did he really kill Zhao Gao? Or was Su Xuan still talking nonsense?

Ying Zheng was very curious.

Su Xuan's mouth curled into a faint smile, "After a while, when the news from Jiuyuan Commandery is sent back, Your Majesty will know whether it is true or false!"

Ying Zheng, hearing this, put away the many suspicions in his heart again.

That's right, whether Zhao Gao was alive or dead, he only needed to wait for a while to know.

Consequently, after this conversation today, Ying Zheng waited for about half a month.

Only then did he wait for a letter sent back from Jiuyuan Commandery.

The letter was written by Meng Tian himself. In this letter, Meng Tian stated that the traitor Zhao Gao, who colluded with the Xiongnu, had already been executed, and Zhao Gao's many claws and teeth had also been rooted out after his efforts to investigate.

It was also after seeing this letter that Ying Zheng knew what Zhao Gao had done in Jiuyuan Commandery over the past few years.

Originally, it was not a strange thing that the taxes handed in by Jiuyuan Commandery every day were relatively small. After all, the territory there was not big, and the population was sparse. Also, because it was located on the border of the empire, it was often invaded by foreigners like the Xiongnu. As a result, Ying Zheng did not expect that the reason why the taxes of Jiuyuan Commandery were so small was that Zhao Gao secretly intercepted a part of them.

This intercepted part was all taken by Zhao Gao to form a clique for private interests.

Zhao Gao truly deserved to die!

Oh, he was already dead, so that was fine.

In the second half of this letter, Meng Tian focused on praising Su Xuan, stating that Zhao Gao was killed as Su Xuan said. Although he did not know how the Grand Master went to Jiuyuan Commandery, Zhao Gao was indeed killed by him. He followed the Grand Master's instructions and found the corpses of Zhao Gao and his subordinates. Now, Zhao Gao's head had been pickled, and he ordered people to send it to Xianyang. It was estimated that it would be sent to Xianyang in a few days.

After seeing this letter, Ying Zheng had no more doubts and had already determined that Zhao Gao was dead.

Although Zhao Gao's head would only be sent to Xianyang in a few days, Ying Zheng did not care about this point.

He immediately summoned Su Xuan.

"Grand Master, how did you do it?"

After seeing Su Xuan, Ying Zheng immediately asked Su Xuan this question.

"Separated by a thousand miles, and it was only one night, you could take Zhao Gao's life. Isn't this an immortal's method?" Ying Zheng could not help but ask Su Xuan.

Su Xuan said softly, "This is not an immortal's method, but just an ability possessed after achieving the Primordial Spirit. Traveling to the North Sea in the morning and the Cangwu in the evening, with the help of the Primordial Spirit's travel, even if it is ten thousand miles, one can arrive in an instant!"

Hearing Su Xuan's words, Ying Zheng's body shook again. He finally knew Su Xuan's current specific strength.

Since he could travel with the Primordial Spirit, it proved that Su Xuan had already achieved the Primordial Spirit.

According to the cultivation knowledge Su Xuan taught him back then, there were four cultivation realms: Shedding Mortality, Primordial Spirit, Mysterious Penetration, and Immortal Spirit. It seemed that there were not many realms, but just the Shedding Mortality realm alone, placed in the martial arts world, if cultivated to the extreme, was already a Heaven-Man level expert. After that, the Primordial Spirit realm was even more mysterious. After achieving the Primordial Spirit, there was Mysterious Penetration, and finally the Immortal Spirit realm, which was becoming an immortal.

Since Su Xuan had already achieved the Primordial Spirit, did that not mean that he had already stepped into the Mysterious Penetration realm, and was only one step away from the legendary immortal?

Ying Zheng was extremely shocked!
