Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Night had fallen and the trees were swaying. As the wind blew, the snow on the trees fell.

They were less than a hundred meters away from the guards’ camp, and no one dared to speak too loudly.

Lu Sheng said to everyone, “Everyone, hide with these five young men first. Come out after we inform you.”

“You’re going over?”

The couple from before walked forward and asked.

Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes.”

The woman hesitated for a moment before saying, “Then… Be careful!”

They wanted to help, but knew that their capabilities were limited.

If they followed Lu Sheng and the rest, they might not be able to help them. Instead, they would burden them.

“Everyone, hide with us first.”

One of the black cloud’s name was Jia Zheng. He was a foreman when he was alive and had died in a car accident.

The other four black clouds were his employees. They were in the same van as him back then.

Hence, the four black clouds listened to Jia Zheng.

“Let’s go to the back!”

The black clouds made everyone retreat quickly.

Everyone wanted to say something, but seeing that Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan had already walked forward, they could only step back obediently.

“Who’s in front?”

When Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan approached, those guards noticed them.

After being discovered, the duo did not stop but continued approaching the camp.

“General Tang, it’s two young people!”

As a guard reported, the guards in the tent walked out. They held spears in their hands, and the leader was even wearing armor.

They were not guards, but an army.

Chu Sihan’s face darkened.

“As soldiers, you didn’t protect your country at the border. Instead, you came here to stop the citizens from living. Are you worthy of your status?”

Chu Sihan’s voice was very faint, but Lu Sheng could hear the suppressed anger in his words.

That general said coldly, “We’re just following orders. Everything else has nothing to do with us.”

“What good orders you are following.”

Lu Sheng clapped her hands and sneered. “I wonder whose orders you’re following and what you’re doing?”

“Young people should mind their own business.”

General Tang looked at the two and said expressionlessly, “You don’t look like the villagers nearby. Since you’re here, stay here forever.”

If the situation here was made known to the higher-ups and they investigated it, all the brothers and even County Magistrate Zhuo would die, let alone him.

They could not die, so the ones who died could only be others.

Lu Sheng chuckled. “Do you really think no one knows what you’ve done?”

General Tang frowned slightly, but he ignored her. Instead, he waved his hand and signaled the other soldiers to take them down.

When Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng saw this, not only did they not escape, but they also stood rooted to the ground and looked at the soldiers expressionlessly.

“If you surrender obediently, we can still leave your corpses intact. If you dare to resist, don’t blame us for being heartless.”

The soldiers sneered and surrounded the two of them.

Lu Sheng turned around and pressed her back against Chu Sihan’s. She asked casually, “Lord, should we kill them all or spare their lives?”

Chu Sihan was slightly stunned and his thin lips curved upwards.

“They killed the commoners. It’s not a pity for such people to die.”

“Roger that!”

Lu Sheng chuckled and responded. Her figure flashed and she disappeared from where she was.

When she reappeared, she was holding a golden whip.

Before the soldiers could react, three of them had already been sent flying by the whip.

Instantly, everyone surrounded Lu Sheng, but Chu Sihan was ignored.

He stood at his original spot and silently watched the soldiers fly out one after another.

General Tang had already frowned when Lu Sheng called Chu Sihan ‘Lord’.

Under the light of the torch, Chu Sihan’s cold and handsome face entered his sight.

“Who are you?”

After a long while, he asked coldly.

Chu Sihan turned around, looked up at him, and said lightly, “You colluded with County Magistrate Zhuo and hid the drought from the officials. You even forced the citizens to pay taxes. You have guts.”

General Tang’s heart jumped.

He kept feeling that this young man with an extraordinary aura in front of him seemed to have an extraordinary identity.

His tone was obviously very faint, as if he was chatting casually with him. However, there was an unspeakable boldness to it.

He was a small general who only followed orders. He did not want to see these things either.

However, he was now on the Crown Prince’s side. If he did not follow orders, only death awaited him.

He had no choice. In order to live, he had to do this.

“I don’t care who you are. Don’t even think about leaving this place alive today.”

With a clang, General Tang drew his sword and pointed it at Chu Sihan.

Chu Sihan smirked and stood at his original spot, waiting for him to approach.

When the tip of the sword was about to reach his chest, he suddenly stuck out two fingers and caught the sword. Then, he twisted his fingers.

Bang!

With a bang, the tip of the sword broke instantly.

He lifted his leg and kicked General Tang away.

General Tang, who had fallen to the ground, looked at his broken sword in shock.

Ignoring the dull pain in his chest, he climbed up with difficulty and rushed towards Chu Sihan again.

However, before he reached Chu Sihan, he was sent flying by an invisible force.

On the other side, there was a bang and the soldiers’ screams rang out.

The real guards were watching from afar. When they saw that these two young people had killed hundreds of soldiers, they were dumbfounded.

They had been stationed here for half a year and this was the first time they saw such powerful young people.

Moreover, one of them was an exceptionally delicate girl.

Was she human?

“Who… Who are you?”

General Tang finally felt a sense of crisis.

“You’re under the Crown Prince’s orders, right?”

Chu Sihan strolled in front of him, squatted down, and said lightly, “I don’t care what shameful things you’ve done here that caused the deaths of so many people. We might not be able to deal with the Crown Prince for now, but you… you can’t escape!”

General Tang crawled back in fear and stared at him in horror.

“Who… are you?”

Lu Sheng flicked her whip lightly and walked forward with a smile. She answered for Chu Sihan, “The youngest top scholar in Xuan Yue Country. Have you heard of him?”

When she said this, not only was General Tang stunned, but even the guards who were hiding and the soldiers who were moaning on the ground were stunned.

“You… You are… Chu, Lord Chu?”

General Tang stumbled over his words. His expression changed from fear to despair.

The reason why they did not report it and forced the villagers to pay enough taxes and even seal the nearby villages so that the villagers could kill each other was because they were afraid that Chu Sihan would know about this.

Who knew that he would still find out about it?

“How smart!”

Lu Sheng smiled and praised him. “As expected of a general.”

General Tang was speechless.

He would rather be one of those refugees than a general.

Who was Chu Sihan?

He was Prime Minister Fu’s nephew, the Eldest Prince’s right-hand man, and the Emperor’s favorite.

Any one of these people could leave him dead without a burial ground.

“Lord, Lord!”

He hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged with a trembling voice. “I had no choice!”

“You had no choice?”

Chu Sihan smiled coldly. “Just because you have no choice, you can kill so many citizens of Xuan Yue Country?”

“We… We…”

General Tang swallowed his saliva. He couldn’t even finish his sentence.

“Speak. What did you do here?”

If there was nothing bigger, they would not have taken the risk to do such a big thing.

General Tang shook his head. “I can’t tell you!”

If he said that, not only him, but his family would also be implicated.

“If you don’t tell me, I’ll find out myself.”

Chu Sihan stood up and said lightly, “Remove all the checkpoints. I want to bring all the refugees into town.”

“No!”

General Tang climbed up and gritted his teeth. “Lord, please forgive me. I’m afraid I can’t let you leave!”

Chu Sihan could not leave this place alive!

If he was allowed to leave safely, everything would be over.

“If you don’t let our Lord leave, our Lord can’t leave?”

Lu Sheng tilted her head and raised her eyebrows. She looked at him and sneered. “Or do you think you can stop us with your numbers?”

General Tang sneered. “You’re powerful enough to fight a hundred enemies at once, but what if there are a few thousand men?”

As he spoke, he suddenly waved his hand and a swish was heard.

An unknown object flew up and a blue light exploded in the sky.

It turned out that the guards hiding at the side had secretly released the signal.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

She probably could not deal with a few thousand cultivators.

However, she could finish off a few thousand ordinary soldiers alone without Chu Sihan.

She stood up and swung her whip, waiting for the soldiers who would not come out from the forest.

General Tang took a step back and smiled sarcastically at the two of them. “None of you can leave here alive today.”

“Really?”

Lu Sheng smiled disapprovingly.

“Let me do it.”

Chu Sihan suddenly spoke faintly.

Lu Sheng glanced at him and pouted. “Alright, I’ll leave it to you, Lord.”

She retreated to the side.

Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Chu Sihan said coldly, “Let’s begin.”

“We can’t let them leave here alive!”

General Tang said to the soldiers.

“Yes!”

After replying, the soldiers swarmed towards Chu Sihan.

A red light flashed and Chu Sihan’s black clothes suddenly became red.

Those soldiers were also enveloped by the red light.

This change stunned General Tang and the guards.

“General Tang, what… what happened?”

One of the guards asked in a trembling voice, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

The smell of blood spread slowly in the surroundings. Blood flowed like water on the snow and quickly spread across the ground.

Staring at the blood under his feet, General Tang remained rooted to the ground.

“Ghost! Ghost!”

The guards screamed and tried to escape, but they realized that the girl with the golden whip had already stood behind them.

She was smiling at them.

“Ah—”

A few guards ran back in fear, but they accidentally ran into the red light.

Their bodies were instantly minced by the red light, and they even lost their souls.

Stepping on the blood, Lu Sheng walked to General Tang. Staring at the red light in front of her, she said lightly, “Have you seen the State Minister?”

General Tang turned his neck stiffly and looked at her without saying anything.

He did not seem to understand why she would mention the State Minister.

However, she smiled and said, “Do you know why the Emperor is so respectful to the State Minister and even allowed him to sit on the same level as himself?”

General Tang still did not speak, but there was some doubt in his terrified eyes.

“Because he has abilities like Lord Chu.”

Lu Sheng faced General Tang, her lips still curved into a smile. “So, you have to know that the Crown Prince lived until now not because he is powerful, but because he is the Emperor’s biological son.”

The subconscious meaning of these words was that General Tang was on the wrong side.

She was also telling General Tang that if the Emperor insisted on letting the Eldest Prince take the throne, it would be useless even if the Crown Prince did anything.

When the red light faded, General Tang was almost dumbfounded.

The blood below gradually dissipated, and the group of soldiers disappeared.

To put it bluntly, those people were the Crown Prince’s men.

If not for the importance of this matter, the Crown Prince would not have handed these three thousand soldiers to him.

Now, Chu Sihan had only changed his clothes and casually destroyed everyone.

He did not expect Chu Sihan to be an immortal cultivator like the State Minister.

Now, even if he succeeded in this matter, he would not be able to live after wasting so much manpower.

“Pfft—”

General Tang spat out a mouthful of blood.

Chu Sihan strode forward and looked him in the eye. “Tell me the truth and I can guarantee that your soul will not dissipate.”

“Okay.”

General Tang half-knelt on the ground and nodded weakly.

“The Crown Prince spent a lot of money to hire a batch of master craftsmen from Nanyi Country to build a batch of high-quality weapons in the nearby mountains. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden drought here. In order to prevent others from investigating this place, he ordered people to seal this place.”

He looked at Chu Sihan and said, “Some of those weapons have already been shipped to Huang Yang Town. I believe they will be shipped to the capital soon.”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Is the Crown Prince itching to rebel and usurp the throne?”

“I don’t know!”

General Tang smiled bitterly and said, “I was only ordered to stop the nearby villagers from escaping alive.”

He paused and continued, “The Crown Prince wants to report the drought here after all the weapons have been transported away. At that time, he will push all the blame to County Magistrate Zhuo, and he will also make a great contribution.”

Lu Sheng frowned. “County Magistrate Zhuo is also willing to do such hard work?”

General Tang sneered. “This County Magistrate Zhuo is no longer the original County Magistrate Zhuo. His surname is also Zhuo, but he’s the original Magistrate Zhuo’s twin brother. He is also one of the Crown Prince’s men of sacrifice.”
