He endured the pain and slowly sat up on the bed. He leaned against the headboard and exhaled heavily.
It was the first time he had suffered such a serious injury in his two lives. His body was wrapped in thick bandages from top to bottom.
As for whether there would be danger here, Su Xuan couldn't be bothered to consider it. If the other party wanted to make a move, he wouldn't have brought him back. The best opportunity to kill Su Xuan was in Tianbei County.
Instead of scaring herself, she might as well have a good rest. At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.
A maid carrying a basin of water walked in and happened to see him sitting at the head of the bed. Her eyes lit up with joy and she rushed out of the room without looking back.
In the pavilion, the faint sound of the zither echoed. In the pond, the blue waves rippled. Two white cranes were swimming in the water, their long necks rubbing against each other, accompanying each other.
The gauze curtains fluttered in the wind, and a cool breeze blew. A beautiful figure was revealed. She was wrapped in a plain long dress and had a little makeup on. She was playing the zither with her head lowered. Beside her was an old woman holding a walking stick, serving beside her.
"Miss, it's time to go back tomorrow.”
The old woman spoke softly. The zither stopped for a moment before she plucked the zither again. Without turning her head, she asked,"Is he still not awake?"
"I went to take a look just now. Although he's not awake, his breathing is calm and his life is not in danger.”
the old woman replied.
"First kill the four Grandmasters, then shatter the three thousand armors. In this battle, Shopkeeper Su's spirit, Qi, and spirit have been severely damaged. Fortunately, his body is strong and his Qi and blood are abundant.”
"Ding Wunian, Wang Qiuge, Jun Mo Wen, and Mo Dian Xuan, the four Grandmasters will take action.”
The woman said softly,"There were another 3,000 armored soldiers, but they were all killed by him with a single sword. The Heyang Imperial Family will not be able to sleep."”
A maid walked into the pavilion quickly and said softly,""Miss, Young Master Su is awake."
The zither strings shattered, and the woman stood up. A hint of joy flashed across her beautiful face, but it quickly dissipated.
The maid and the old woman waited at the door. She stepped into the room, and her crisp footsteps echoed. Su Xuan, who was resting on the headboard, opened his eyes.
When he saw who it was, he couldn't help but frown.
"What? Did you never expect it to be me?”
Wu Yue 'er said with a smile.
"It's indeed a little unexpected."
He nodded.
"How did you know that I was attacked in Tiannan County?”
"Or have you been following me?”
"I'm not the only one following you.”
"Let's not talk about Qixia Town." She pursed her lips and smiled."There were spies from other forces on the way to Wudi City in the East Sea."
"Moreover, since you've already agreed to help me twice, I'll send someone out to keep track of your movements at any time so that I won't be unable to find you when I need you. That shouldn't be a problem, right?”
"No problem."
Su Xuan pursed his lips.
"I paid a huge price to save you this time. How do you plan to repay me?”
"Ah Da, come in."”
The door was pushed open and a burly man walked in. He was one of the people who had accompanied Wu Yue 'er to the inn.
However, he only had one arm now, and the other sleeve was empty.
"Ah Da's left hand was cut off by the experts of the Internal Court in order to save you.”
Wu Yue 'er said.
"How do you plan to compensate?"
"Since it was to save my broken left arm.”
"Then I'll compensate you with your left arm. Bring me a saber. I don't like owing people favors." Su Xuan said calmly.”
"No need, no need."
The honest Ada hurriedly shook his head.""It is a great blessing for me to break an arm for Manager Su.”
"See, he doesn't want me to pay.”
Su Xuan pursed his lips.
"You stupid donkey."
Wu Yue 'er angrily slapped Ah Da's shoulder and scolded,"Why are you so stupid?"
Ada was silent, but he thought to himself, If I really dare to ask Young Master Su to compensate me with one hand, my princess will immediately fall out with me.
"Get out, get out."
She despised it.
Ada silently walked out of the room.
"You're really a person. You immediately ran away when you saw that the situation was not right. Why do you still have to fight to the death with others?”
Wu Yue 'er stroked the hair between her eyebrows."It was a waste of me praising you as the smartest person in the world. You're actually so stupid. I don't think you're any better than that stupid donkey Ada.
When Ada brought you back, there were more than a hundred external injuries on your body. Your internal organs were shattered, and your meridians were almost broken. If it weren't for your indestructible body, even the Great Immortal wouldn't be able to save you.
I even wasted two thousand-year-old ginsengs, which were given to me by my father as a tribute from Loulan.”
"I don't have wings and can't fly. How can I run?”
"In that situation, the only way to survive is to fight to the death and kill them," Su Xuan said.”
"Look at you."
She rolled her eyes."Shopkeeper Su's martial arts skills are unparalleled. The crossing of the big river is truly awe-inspiring. He killed the four grandmasters like slaughtering chickens and dogs. He used a withered branch as a sword and shattered 3,000 pieces of armor. Now, it has spread all over the world. Who doesn't know and who doesn't know?"”
"Miss, the ginseng soup is here."
The maid shouted at the door. Wu Yue 'er went to the door and brought it in.
"I'll do it myself."
Su Xuan said.
"Sure."
The corners of her lips curled up.
Su
Xuan was silent because he realized that his hands were also wrapped in bandages, and the slightest movement would cause heart-wrenching pain.
"Still trying to be brave."
Wu Yue 'er sat down at the head of the bed and fed him spoonful by spoonful. She then used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth.
"Lie down and rest well. It's best if you don't move. Otherwise, you'll be the one suffering if your wound ruptures.”
After saying that, he sat down at the table and leisurely picked up his teacup."If you're bored, I can play the piano for you or read books to relieve your boredom.”
"I want to sleep."
Su Xuan moved to the bed and rested his head on the pillow. He closed his eyes and began to snore.
These few days, he had enjoyed the blessing of having a group of people. Wu Yue 'er, the princess of Wu Zhou, was the one who ate, washed, and drank medicine. Sometimes, she would play the piano or read to him to relieve his boredom.
Suddenly, another half a month passed. The external injuries on his body gradually healed, and he could finally remove the bandages.
After taking a comfortable hot bath, he changed into a clean robe and walked out of the room. It was noon.
The courtyard was enveloped in the scorching sun, but the garden was covered with trees, making it cool. The water in the lake rippled in the wind.
The sound of the zither was leisurely, and the white crane danced. Wu Yue 'er sat cross-legged on a straw mat, playing the zither.
Su Xuan stepped into the pavilion with his hands behind his back and hummed a tune, causing her to turn around in displeasure.""Can you not mess up my tune?”
He poured a cup of green wine and enjoyed the lake breeze. He had been lying on the bed for almost two months, but he had never craved the sun as much as he did now.
He relied on the powerful physique and blood essence of the Indestructible Physique, as well as the large number of precious natural treasures provided by Wu Yue 'er.
Otherwise, who knew how long he would have to lie there before he woke up.
"Where is this place?"
he said as he looked into the distance. A towering city could be vaguely seen standing on the ground.
"Shen 'du."
She said,"In the Imperial City of Wu Zhou, in a garden 20 miles away from Luoyang.”
"Fairy's Capital?"
Su Xuan chuckled."This is my first time here, but it doesn't look as grand as the capital.”
"It is indeed slightly inferior."
"But soon, everything will change."”
"Why?"
He frowned.
"Because I want to ascend to the throne of the Emperor of Wuzhou.”
She was arrogant, and the domineering aura between her brows soared.
"So you want to sit on the throne."
Su Xuan didn't reveal an overly shocked expression.
"What? Aren't you surprised? If I succeed, I'll be the first empress in the history of the nine provinces.”
Wu Yue 'er raised her head and puffed out her chest.
"What does it have to do with me?"
He curled his lips.
"First of all, I'm from the martial arts world, and second, I'm from the Ming Dynasty.”
"I want you to help me ascend to the throne.”
Wu Yue 'er looked at Su Xuan and enunciated each word with a serious expression.
"Is this the first thing?"
Su Xuan's tone was calm, and his expression remained unchanged.
"Yes."
She nodded.
"Sure."
Su Xuan agreed.
"When do we make our move?"
"There's no rush. You can rest in peace and recuperate in the villa. When the time comes, I'll call you.”
"Also, I'm going to Fairy's Capital tomorrow. I might not be back for a few days."”
"For what?"
Su Xuan was curious.
"Take over the Imperial Army."
The corners of her lips curled up.
After lunch, Wu Yue 'er left with the old woman, Ah Da, and Ah Er. At night, he returned to his room and sat cross-legged. The true qi in his meridians had recovered a lot.
According to the mantra of the seventh level, he mobilized this true qi and circulated it to heal his injuries. At the same time, he refined the huge amount of medicinal power accumulated in his body.
These medicinal effects came from the various natural treasures he had consumed during this period of time and had not been completely digested.
Most of the medicinal power was hidden in his flesh and blood.
As he circulated his zhenqi, the majestic medicinal power spread out, nourishing his internal organs, nourishing his flesh, and seeping into his bones and meridians.
At the same time, the Wedding Dress Genuine Qi in his body was also recovering rapidly. After circulating it for two large cycles, he had recovered more than 10%.
Cultivating day and night, with the nourishment of zhenqi, the speed of internal injuries recovery increased a lot. In less than three days, his zhenqi recovered by fifty percent.
Wu Yue 'er still had not returned, so Su Xuan ignored her and immersed himself in his cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, the
room
was filled with the terrifying true energy. On the bed, the figure sat cross-legged with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes.
"Boom!"
Bolts of lightning appeared in the room. Violent Wedding Dress zhenqi was released. At this moment, all the injuries on his body, both inside and outside, were healed.
It was a blessing in disguise. He had reached perfection in the seventh stage of the Wedding Dress Divine Art, and he could try to break through to the eighth stage.
He closed his eyes once again and calmed himself down, his mind sinking into his sea of consciousness.
"Beep. Host, are you sure you want to spend 800,000 martial arts points to strengthen the Wedding Dress Divine Art?”
"I'm sure."
"Beep. Congratulations to the host for successfully strengthening the seventh level of the Wedding Dress Divine Art. 800,000 martial arts points have been deducted.”
Su Xuan didn't have the time to be excited after the Soul Immersion. Boundless True Qi appeared in his body, and he felt like he was about to explode.。
He first followed the mantra of the seventh level and circulated his true qi to assimilate all his internal qi into the wedding dress true qi.
Following that, he circulated his internal strength according to the eighth level of the mental cultivation method to attack his acupoints and meridians.
"Boom!"
Terrifying internal strength flooded the room. The surrounding maids all retreated far away, not daring to approach.
"What a dense and overbearing true energy.”
Wu Yue 'er led the old woman into the courtyard. Feeling the true qi of the wedding dress enveloping the room, she could not help but feel her heart palpitate.
"How did Manager Su cultivate?”
The old woman smiled bitterly."Even if I started practicing in my mother's womb, I've only been practicing for about twenty years. How did I manage to cultivate such overbearing zhenqi?"”
"With Manager Su's help, Young Lady's great undertaking can be accomplished.”
"These few days, His Majesty's illness is getting more and more serious, and the princes are also becoming more and more insolent.”
Wu Yue 'er did not disturb Su Xuan. Instead, she rested in the courtyard, either reading or playing the zither, as if she did not care about the affairs of the world.
Shen 'du had become a muddy mess. The nine princes were fighting for the crown prince's position, and their heads were bleeding.
This breakthrough lasted for two days and three nights. Su Xuan woke up in the early morning of the third day and successfully entered the eighth realm of the Wedding Dress Divine Art.
Feeling the Wedding Dress Genuine Qi in his body that was more than ten times larger than before, he grinned and laughed, causing the entire villa to rustle.
Eight layers of Wedding Dress Technique, two styles of Tyrant Sword Art, Indestructible Body of Vajra, perfection of both inside and outside, and from then on, the foundation of martial arts was completed.
"Three County Aristocratic Families, Heyang Imperial Family, Xuan Kong Temple.”
Su Xuan muttered to himself as a cold killing intent appeared in his eyes. He was not a gentleman who did not seek revenge.
When he was done with his work, he would go and meet these Jianghu overlords to see how strong they were and whether they could withstand his sword.
He pushed open the door and saw Wu Yue 'er standing at the door. However, she was dressed differently today.
He was wearing a warrior's suit on the inside, a bronze armor on the outside, and a sheathed sword on his waist.
"Why are you dressed like this?"
he asked.
"Don't talk nonsense. Come into the palace with me.”
Wu Yue 'er said.
"Did something happen?"
Su Xuan frowned.
"Imperial Father is critically ill. I'm afraid that he will die within three to five days.”
Her expression was solemn.
"Let's go."
Su Xuan nodded. With his hands behind his back, he left the villa and boarded Wu Yue 'er's carriage, heading towards Fairy's Capital.
The carriage was spacious and not crowded. Wu Yue 'er sat upright on the left while Su Xuan sat on the right.
"Presumably, your days will not be easy in the next few days.”
He teased.
"I'm very curious. How did you obtain the Tiger Tally of the Imperial Army?”
"Because I am the princess that Imperial Father dotes on the most.”
she answered.
Su Xuan sneered.
"Do you believe in the loss?"
Wu Yue 'er's expression was unhappy.
"Yes."
"But this is not enough," he said with a smile.”
"Enough."
Wu Yue 'er replied,"I'm a princess. I'm a woman. Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a woman to ascend the throne of the emperor."”
"So no one would think that you have the ambition to sit on the dragon throne?”
Su Xuan seemed to have figured something out.
"Yes."
She nodded."Furthermore, I have never interacted with my nine royal brothers. Furthermore, my father is naturally suspicious. Now that he is bedridden, as long as he does not truly close his eyes, he will not give up his authority as the emperor.
However, the nine brothers of the imperial clan seized power and usurped the throne. The six tribes, the Imperial City Bureau, the Tongwen Hall, and the six thousand heavily armored cavalry outside the city were all in the hands of the nine brothers.
His father's plan to balance the situation had now become a hindrance to him. Thus, his father had to take control of the Imperial Army, the last line of defense, in his hands.
And I am his only and best choice.
I can't fight for the throne, nor have I sided with any of my Imperial Brothers, so the Tiger Tally of the Imperial Army will only fall into my hands.”
"But at a time like this, the Tiger Tally of the Imperial Army is a death warrant.”
"I'm afraid your royal brothers want to get their hands on this Tiger Tally," Su Xuan said.”
"That's right."
"That's why I need you." Wu Yue 'er said lightly.”
"A few days ago, they wanted to see me in private, but I rejected them all.”
"With the temperament of my Imperial Brothers, I'm afraid they've already lost their patience."”
The carriage slowly stepped onto the bluestone paved road, heading toward the majestic Shendu City in the distance.
Rumble,
rumble, rumble, thunder
, rumble, rumble
"It's going to rain."
Su Xuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked his head out. He looked up at the sky and saw that Shendu City was shrouded in a haze.
"A storm is coming, and it's an eventful autumn.”
He sighed.
"What? Are you scared?"
Wu Yue Er glanced at him,"If Manager Su is afraid, you can get off the car now."”
"Really?"
Su Xuan made a move to get out of the carriage.
Then, she realized that her clothes were grabbed by a fair hand. She turned around and saw her face that was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Didn't you ask me to leave?”
He pretended to be surprised.
"You dare to leave?"
Wu Yue 'er grabbed onto it tightly and refused to let go.
