Cao Peng clapped his hands and praised," Centurion Xiao is right. However, this time, Centurion Xiao has helped me greatly. I can't let Centurion Xiao return empty-handed."”
"The capable work more, and the more you work, the more you earn. His Majesty will not mistreat Centurion Xiao.”
"Although I can't advance this time, I think the rewards for gold, silver, jewelry, martial arts manuals, and so on will not be small.”
"Centurion Xiao, please go back and listen to the good news.”
"Then I'll wait for the good news from General Cao." Xiao Wuji cupped his hands.”
He was waiting for Cao Peng to say this.
Otherwise, why would he waste his time and energy the entire night?
After everything was settled, Xiao Wuji left with the Brocade Guard.
After returning to the North Town Administrative Office, Xiao Wuji returned to his home in the Vermilion Bird Lane alone.
"Young Master is back."
Seeing Xiao Wuji return home, two young girls came up to him and bowed respectfully.
These two were handmaidens sent by their father-in-law, and they were responsible for taking care of Xiao Wuji's meals and daily life.
Xiao Wuji used to live alone and didn't care about these things, so he didn't have any servants at home.
However, Su Wan 'er would soon marry into the family, and there had to be servants to serve her.
"Go prepare supper. I'm hungry."
"Also, prepare a bathtub. I want to take a bath.”
Xiao Wuji ordered as he put down his Snow Guzzle Frenzied Blade.
After fighting with someone at night, Xiao Wuji was hungry again, and there was still the smell of blood on his body.
He himself was a bit of a clean freak and couldn't sleep without taking a shower.
"Yes."
The two maidservants responded. One went down to prepare the bath water, and the other said,"Miss sent someone to deliver chicken soup just now. Miss made it herself.”
"Do you want to drink a bowl first?"
Su Wan 'er was not a pampered young lady who did not touch the water of spring. Other than being proficient in the four arts, she was also an excellent cook.
In the past few days, she had made different dishes and sent them to the manor every day to please Xiao Wuji.
This was also a way for her to express her longing.
"Since Wan 'er sent it, try it.”
"Yes, Young Master."
The maidservant left in a hurry and soon came back with the chicken soup.
The chicken soup was still warm, probably because he knew that Xiao Wuji would be having supper when he got home.
Xiao Wuji scooped a bowl and tasted it carefully. He felt that it was extremely delicious.
Although Su Wan 'er's cooking skills could not compare to the retired royal chef of Mirror Lake Restaurant, she was better than many restaurant chefs.
Presumably, this was also because of the family's history.
After all, his cheap father-in-law had relied on restaurants to make a name for himself. His cooking skills were also superb.
It was just that after he became rich, he rarely cooked.
However, culinary skills were the foundation of the Su family's career. It was likely that they had to be passed down.
While Xiao Wuji was enjoying the chicken soup, a commotion broke out in a secret underground palace in Jinling City.
The hideous black ghost statue stood at the end of the underground palace, looking even more terrifying than before.
As if sensing the killing intent of the owner of the underground palace, the six eyes on the three heads of the statue widened.
"So, the plan failed?"
A cold voice echoed in the underground palace.
A cold killing intent filled the underground palace, causing the temperature to plummet. A layer of frost formed on the ground and walls.
"This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me!”
"But the plan didn't fail completely. At least those three nails were successful.”
Three figures, two men and one woman, knelt outside the black gauze tent and kowtowed to the figure on the black lotus platform inside the gauze tent to apologize.
If Xiao Wuji was here, he would definitely recognize him.
There were two men and a woman kneeling on the ground. The woman was the female traitor who had escaped tonight.
The man was a martial arts grandmaster who had been severely injured by him.
"This plan is so thorough, why did it reveal a flaw?”
"Don't tell me that the Imperial Army hounds saw through you.”
The person called the protector asked coldly.
" Yes." The female traitor bowed her head and said respectfully," It was indeed Cao Peng, the commander of the Imperial Army, who inspected everyone in the diplomatic mission one by one. That was how he saw through our disguise."”
"However, Cao Peng did not have such quick wits. This subordinate guessed that it was the centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards who had caused trouble.”
"In order to protect those three lords, this subordinate and the Earth Hound could only take the initiative to expose themselves and use this to divert attention.”
"Hundred Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards? A mere Yang Zhenjie had such ability?”
The protector sounded surprised.
"The Centurion who came to receive us is not Yang Zhenjie, but a new Centurion named Xiao Wuji," the female traitor said respectfully.”
"This person's lightness skill is extremely high, his saber technique is extremely fast, and his strength is extremely strong.”
"It was him who relied on his own strength to completely wipe out the Black Fiend Squad. The Three Black Fiend Tigers were also heavily injured and captured alive by him. Even Black Tiger himself was heavily injured by his sneak attack.”
" What?" The protector was a little surprised." The three Black Demon Tigers are all at the late stage of the Xiantian realm, yet they were defeated by a new centurion.”
"Are you joking with me?”
The female traitor kowtowed and said in fear,""This subordinate doesn't dare. Everything this subordinate says is true.”
"If there's a single lie, I'm willing to be devoured by ten thousand snakes.”
Hearing the female traitor's words, the protector finally believed her words and nodded slightly.
"The Black Tiger Three Fiends are just shields we found from the periphery. It doesn't matter even if they're captured. If they die, so be it. Anyway, they don't know our true purpose.”
"But according to what you said, this Centurion Xiao Wuji isn't simple.”
"To be able to see through my scheme in such a short period of time, this person must not be left alive!”
"Guardian is right!"
"Xiao Wuji is not only quick-witted, but his strength is also extraordinary.”
"Tonight, this subordinate met him and failed at the brink of success.”
"Oh? You were injured by him?"
The protector was even more surprised.
