Exquisite and elegant, with ivory curtains and pink gauze, the room that was as warm as jade was filled with a suffocating silence.
The most talented woman in Jade Capital's Flower Scattering Brothel, Su Mu, and the Da Qian Dynasty's Marquis Wu Wen, Hong Xuanji.
The man and the woman sat facing each other, not saying a word, staring at each other coldly.
There was no one else in the room.
Such a scene was not what a man and woman in a brothel should look like.
"Didn't Marquis Wu Wen, the pillar of the imperial court, the famous minister of Confucianism, and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, submit petitions to ban Flower Scattering Brothel? Why did you come to Flower Scattering Brothel today? "
Suddenly, Su Mu spoke, breaking the silence in the room. Her words flowed like water. Although her words were aimed at Hong Xuanji, no one could feel any emotion from her words.
"So similar."
Hong Xuanji closed his eyes and spat out two words.
"Marquis, are you talking about Meng Bingyun? Unfortunately, she had originally cultivated the Great Dao of Supreme Indifference, but she abandoned herself and fell into the trap of love. Unable to extricate herself, her spirit was greatly injured, and she was taken advantage of by a villain. " Su Mu said, "But don't worry, Marquis. Once a disciple of the Taishang Dao falls in love, he will no longer be a disciple of the Taishang Dao. Master will not find trouble with Marquis because of this. Since Marquis came to find me today, you can rest assured about this. "
"Even if Brother Shenji came to find me personally, why should I be afraid of him?" Hong Xuanji spread his hands and placed them on the armrests of the chair. Unconsciously, he had a posture of having everything under control.
"I came to find you today because I wanted to see what kind of outstanding person has appeared in the Supreme Path. Today, I see that you, Su Mu, are indeed extraordinary. Your martial technique has already reached the realm of Changing Marrow Like Frost. It's a pity that you're still a few steps away from the level of Changing Blood Hair and Refining Blood into Mercury. As for the cultivation of Taoist techniques and spirit, I wonder if you have become a ghost immortal? "
"Marquis's eyesight is like lightning. Can't a little spirit see through it?" Su Mu said calmly.
It turned out that the cultivation of the spirit was hidden deep within the body, invisible and intangible. As long as one didn't come out of the shell, no one could tell what realm one had cultivated to. However, it was not like the cultivation of martial arts, where one's Blood Qi was exposed to the outside world and could be seen by those with good eyesight.
"The women of the Taishang Dao are indeed all talented." Hong Xuanji suddenly smiled. "You came into being this time to deal with the eight great demon immortals, as well as the evil sects of Lifeless and True Void. However, the eight great demon immortals of the world had all cultivated for a hundred years. Their demon techniques and supernatural powers were astonishing. The two evil sects, Lifeless and True Void, were even more elusive, impossible to guard against. If you are alone and your whereabouts are exposed, I fear you will encounter danger. I have a token here that you can use to mobilize my residence's fifty Mo Saber Guards, fifty Crossbow Guards, and fifty Steel Cavalry Guards. These people are experts who have followed me for many years. They have climbed out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They have strong willpower. Even ghost immortals can't confuse them. Evil techniques are useless against them. "
As he spoke, Hong Xuanji moved his finger and a red gold medal was placed on the table.
A lively Qilin was carved on the front of the gold medal. On the back, there was the word 'Order'.
"What a good 'Order'. It is filled with murderous intent. It has the feeling of an iron cavalry trampling across the universe." Su Mu said but didn't take it. "The Taishang Dao has been passed down since ancient times. We don't need the protection of Marquis's worldly power. Let's take it back. "
As he spoke, Su Mu pressed on the table and the gold medal flew towards Hong Xuanji.
Hong Xuanji waved his sleeves and the gold medal fell into it. He laughed and stood up.
"Marquis, please wait." Su Mu saw that Hong Xuanji was about to leave.
"What's the matter?" Hong Xuanji asked.
"The Sect Master asked me to ask Marquis a question." Su Mu said.
"What is it?" Hong Xuanji turned around with his back facing Su Mu.
"Back then, the Da Qian army rose from the east and annihilated the Great Zhou Dynasty. Finally, they conquered the south. The war was especially tragic and the Great Zhou Dynasty's remnant people resisted continuously. The war lasted for 30 years in the Da Qian Dynasty before it finally stopped. The war in the south lasted for decades. The people were homeless and their bones were exposed in the wilderness. There was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. However, there were some people who made a fortune without conscience. For example, they robbed people, traded slaves, and even sold teenage girls to the Da Qian army camp to be prostitutes. Is this related to Marquis's wife's maiden family, the Zhao Family? "Su Mu asked.
"Hmm?" Hong Xuanji snorted coldly and said, "The Zhao Family of the south is a big family in the south. They are a family of scholars. Back then, they followed the Da Qian Founding Ancestor and assisted in annihilating the violent people in the south. They were conferred the title by the imperial court and have been a scholar for three generations. This can be checked in the history. The Grand Supreme Daoist is a barbarian after all. Are you concerned about these things on behalf of the imperial court? Are you trying to control the country's divine weapon? "
"What a big hat." Su Mu said calmly, "I'm not arguing with you, Marquis. I'm just passing on the Sect Master's words. This is what the Sect Master said. Marquis, listen up. "
"I'm listening," Hong Xuanji said.
"The Sect Master said, 'I'm already investigating in the south. If I find out that the incident back then is related to your wife's Zhao Family and you, Hong Xuanji, know about it. I'll definitely annihilate both your Zhao and Hong Families! I won't spare even a chicken or dog! '
'I'll annihilate your entire family!'
As soon as these two sentences were said, a murderous aura rose. It didn't sound like something a beauty like Su Mu would say at all.
Bang!
The table in front of Su Mu broke into pieces. Hong Xuanji said coldly, "What an arrogant Grand Supreme Daoist. If the heavens want to annihilate people, they'll definitely make people go crazy. Since the Monogatari said this, then the Grand Supreme Daoist won't be far from being annihilated."
"My Grand Supreme Daoist has been through dozens of dynasties and two to three thousand years since the ancient times. Until now, our orthodoxy still exists. Whether it's annihilated or not isn't up to Marquis to decide. " Su Mu said, "Marquis, don't say things like imperial power and country's divine weapon. My Grand Supreme Daoist only respects the Great Dao that has existed since ancient times. Imperial power and country are all ephemeral."
"Alright. I didn't expect the Monogatari to be so arrogant. He's getting more arrogant with each dismemberment. His calamity won't be far away. "
Hong Xuanji's expression suddenly calmed down. He let out a long sigh and said, "Su Mu, you're on your own." After saying that, he walked out.
When he came out of the tall building, his eyes turned, and through the cracks of a few buildings, he suddenly saw Hong Yi and Princess Zhennan standing side by side in a courtyard in the distance. There were also a bunch of nobles and nobles.
"Hmm?" Hong Xuanji's eyes flickered. No one knew what he was thinking. After a quick glance, he withdrew his gaze and walked down the stairs. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, there was a palanquin. He sat in it and the palanquin bearers lifted him up. He left without anyone noticing.
…
"Hong Yi, this is the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, the young master of the Hou Family. This is the Minister of Rites, the young master of the Wang Family. This is the young master of the Changle Marquis, and this is …"
Just as Hong Xuanji was going downstairs, Princess Zhennan was introducing Hong Yi to the group of young masters who were attending the hall today.
