At this moment, Su Cheng's handsome face appeared in Li Xiu Ning's mind.
Ever since she and Su Cheng became husband and wife a year ago, although the two of them lived in the same room, the room was separated by a screen, and the two of them lived separately.
Su Cheng gave her the impression that he was modest and polite. In the past year, he had not done anything forceful to her.
She didn't like Su Cheng, nor did she hate him. She just had a very calm feeling.
"No, with my understanding of Su Cheng, how could he have the guts to kill Manager Li?”
Li Xiu Ning immediately rejected her own idea.
"Then, who killed Steward Li?”Her fair face was filled with confusion again.
At this moment.
Another maid ran in. She looked flustered and said nervously,
"Miss!"
"Something bad has happened!"
"The Li Residence has been surrounded by the Imperial Army!”
The maid's beautiful eyes were filled with fear.
"What did you say?"
"The Li Residence has been surrounded by the Imperial Army?"
Li Xiu Ning's heart skipped a beat. She forced herself to calm down.
"Did someone find out about Father's incident in Taiyuan?”
She thought to herself.
"Let's go out and take a look!"
She said in a low voice and then walked towards the gate of the Li residence.
As soon as Li Xiu Ning arrived outside the Li Residence, a tall and straight figure appeared in her sight.
This figure had a handsome face and a confident expression. He rode a tall horse and looked heroic!
This person was Su Cheng.
Behind him, a thousand cavalrymen were on standby.
Under Su Cheng's orders, 500 infantrymen surrounded the Li Residence.
These elite soldiers were all selected from the Imperial Army of Taiji Palace by the Underworld Master. They had experienced the baptism of war and had seen blood.
Therefore, their bodies emitted a unique baleful aura, and their eyes flickered with a cold light.
Li Xiu Ning was stunned. Her delicate face was filled with disbelief." It's you? Su Cheng? What's going on?"
She was stunned and confused.
The current Su Cheng was like a different person compared to his past self, making her feel a little unfamiliar.
In the past, Su Cheng's performance in the Li Residence was very obedient and even a little cowardly. Even when some servants mocked him, he turned a blind eye.
But…
Now!
Su Cheng was riding on a tall horse. His body exuded a murderous aura and his gaze was sharp.
Li Xiu Ning's beautiful eyes sized up Su Cheng again. She had an illusion: Su Cheng was the commander of this elite troop!
She felt that it was ridiculous.
In the Li Residence, she was the one who knew Su Cheng the best. After all, the two of them lived in the same room.。
She knew very well that Su Cheng did not have the slightest bit of martial strength and knew nothing about military affairs. How could he become the commander-in-chief?
Then, she observed the elite soldiers without leaving a trace.
"This elite troop is the Imperial Army of Taiji Palace?”Her eyes narrowed slightly as she exclaimed in her heart.
As a female general, she was naturally extremely familiar with the Imperial Army.
Su Cheng's expression was cold as he looked at Li Xiu Ning, who was a little surprised. His expression was calm, without the slightest ripple.
To him, Li Xiuning was only his wife in name. The two of them had no feelings for each other.
He flipped over and dismounted.
"Cavalry, return to Zhechong Manor. Five hundred infantrymen, stay behind and guard the Li Manor!”
"Tomorrow at dawn, we will train at Zhicong Prefecture!”
He turned his head and said to the deputy general beside him.
This deputy general was a subordinate of the Underworld Master, and his name was Yin Kui.
After Yin Kui heard Su Cheng's words, a trace of undetectable disdain flashed in his eyes.
"A mere live-in son-in-law dares to command the Imperial Army? I would like to see how you plan to train your soldiers tomorrow at Zhechong Manor.”He thought coldly in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold arc.
He pulled the reins and turned around. He said to the thousand cavalrymen behind him,"Return to camp!"
From the beginning to the end, he did not respond to Su Cheng.
Logically speaking, Su Cheng was the commander-in-chief, and he was the deputy general. He should maintain respect for Su Cheng.
However, Yin Kui's current actions showed that he did not take Su Cheng seriously at all.
This was also Yin Kui's signal to Su Cheng: Don't think that you can order the Imperial Army just because you've become the commander!
This Imperial Army would forever obey the orders of the Underworld Master!
Su Cheng looked at the retreating cavalrymen. His gaze stopped on Yin Kui, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
" Hehe, just you wait." Su Cheng snorted coldly in his heart.
Then, he turned around and walked past Li Xiu Ning as if he had completely ignored her.
Li Xiu Ning was about to ask Su Cheng what was going on with the infantry and cavalry outside the Li Residence.
However, she saw that Su Cheng had actually ignored her.
Her pretty face had a trace of frost. She could only follow behind Su Cheng and return to the Li residence.
After returning to their room.
"What is going on?"
"Why would the Imperial Guards of Taiji Palace suddenly surround the Li Residence?”
Li Xiu Ning looked straight into Su Cheng's eyes and asked coldly.
She could vaguely feel that Su Cheng seemed to have changed.
This change was from the inside out, a change in his entire temperament.
She could even feel a trace of pressure from Su Cheng.
This made her very surprised.
One had to know that Li Xiu Ning was a female general who was not inferior to men. She had once gone into battle to kill enemies and made them tremble in fear.
The dignified Divine Might Female General actually felt pressured by Su Cheng?
