Not long after, the horse team arrived in front of Lu Xuan and the others.
The leader was a skinny, prideful, fair-skinned eunuch.
Behind him were a few Gold-rank powerhouses and dozens of Silver-rank guards.
He glanced at everyone with disdain, then rode his horse to Su Lie and shouted,"Su Lie, do you know your sins?"
Su Lie cupped his hands." Military Supervisor, Su Lie has been guarding the Protectorate. He has not violated military rules or the laws of the Great Tang. What crime is there?"”
The supervisor snorted coldly." Hmph, I ordered you to use the soldiers near Jade City to escort the jade into the capital. Why are you still unwilling to do it?"”
The position of supervisor only had the power to supervise, but not the power to mobilize troops.
Regardless of whether the supervisor wanted the troops to attack or ask them to do something else, he could not give the order directly. He could only look for the general in charge and ask the general to give the order.
However, if the general refused to obey, he had no other choice but to impeach him. He could not directly punish him.
"Military supervisor, without the imperial court's order, the troops guarding Jade City cannot be transferred out.”
" After all, that bloody case many years ago…"
Jade City was a city that thrived because of jade. It was located in the northeast of the protectorate, close to the Great Wall.
Within the Jade City, there was a huge jade spring.
The so-called Jade Spring was actually a jade mine.
In the jade mine, there were many fine jades hidden. Every year, tens of millions of jades could be mined.
The huge business opportunity attracted countless merchants, as well as horse bandits and bandits.
The bloody case that Su Lie was talking about was a type of black stone that was dug out under the Jade City back then. It was this black stone that caused the demonic seed hidden under the Jade City to go berserk and attack humans crazily.
In the end, it was Mingshi Yin who threw the black stone back into the abyss with his men before the demonic seed was willing to retreat.
Although the details of this matter had been forgotten, everyone knew that there was danger lurking beneath Jade City!
Ever since the Protectorate took over the Yunzhong Desert, they had been stationed outside the Jade City to guard against unknown dangers and to protect the merchants who came to the Jade City from being attacked by the demon seeds and robbed by the Horse Gangs.
......................................................................................
Not long ago, a large caravan arrived in Jade City. The owner of this caravan had a good relationship with the supervisor.
The supervisor actually ordered Su Lie to send people to escort the caravan to the capital.
How could Su Lie do such a thing?
Without waiting for him to finish, the supervisor interrupted him coldly,"Hmph, Su Lie, you have to think carefully about the consequences of disobeying my orders.”
Su Lie was fearless. He said in a deep voice," Su Lie will never do anything that will harm the Cloud Desert!”
"If you want to impeach him, feel free to report.”
"You…" The supervisor was furious.
"Hmph, you ignorant thing!"
After saying that, the supervisor ignored Su Lie and the others and led his subordinates into the city.
Su Lie smiled bitterly.”
Everyone looked helpless. It seemed that the people of the Cloud-desert had a headache over this supervisor.
Only Li Bai and Lu Xuan looked at each other with hostility. A hint of killing intent flashed between their brows, but it quickly disappeared.
......................................................................................
Due to the appearance of the supervisor, the group did not return to the General's Estate. Instead, they went to a tavern to drink.
Of course, as the general of the protectorate, Su Lie had to return to the residence to entertain the supervisor no matter how much he disliked him.
In the tavern, Li Bai, Jialuo, Hua Mulan, Sheng, Baili Shouyue, Lu Xuan and the others sat around, drinking and chatting.
In fact, Li Bai didn't intend to come, but he was dragged over by Jialuo.
During the meal, Lu Xuan kept thinking about one thing.
According to his understanding of the King's World, Su Lie's betrayal of the Great Tang in the future had a lot to do with this supervisor.
It was precisely because of the military supervisor's slander that Su Lie was misunderstood as colluding with the Demon Seed to harm the Tang Empire.
However, why would he, a supervisor, want to murder Su Lie?
What was hidden behind this?
And…The series of tragedies in the Cloud Desert, whether it was Cheng being wronged or the Thousand Caves City being destroyed by the man-made demon seed, it was as if there was a pair of invisible black hands manipulating the wind and clouds.
Even the manga mentioned that Su Lie and Jialuo were both working hard to find the mastermind.
But who was the culprit?
The King's World Information recorded the history of the King's World, the local customs, the mountains, and the landscape, but not every character had a detailed introduction.
Lu Xuan, who lacked information, had no clue.
In fact, these matters did not have much to do with Lu Xuan. It was just that the appearance of the supervisor today made him think of these things and he was a little curious about the hidden secrets behind these things.
"Hey, Lu Xuan, what are you thinking?”
Hua Mulan saw that Lu Xuan was a little distracted, so she pushed him and asked.
"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about keeping my promise.”Lu Xuan replied.
Hua Mulan was dumbfounded. He's not a girl…"
