My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield

Chapter 45: Victor Decided

Upon hearing Nan Libing's words, Luo Changhe smiled and said, "That's hard to say. Although Su Wen brought this woman here, her status is still inferior to that of Honorable Xie. I've heard Xie Dajia's famed 'Serene Separation' back then, and I still don't dare to forget it.

However, Honorable Xie is always traveling to various countries, making it difficult to meet her. Now that she's returned to Great Zhou, how can ordinary women compare to her?"

Jiu Kong spoke as well. "Su Wen's previous display was grand and magnificent, and he completely crushed Xue Meng. However, by managing to invite Honorable Xie, Xue Meng alone won hands down this round. In my opinion, continuing the battle can be said to be acceptable, and he can't be considered to have lost!"

Nan Libing however shook her head, "Do you know the identity of this woman?"

Luo Changhe and Jiu Kong were at a loss.

Nan Libing said, "Three years ago, His Majesty offered a reward for finding the Great Illusionary Altar Flower to cure the lung disease of a princess. I'm sure you guys knew about that, right?"

Luo Changhe smiled. "How could I not know? The Great Illusionary Altar Flower only grows between precipices. It usually takes less than an hour for it to bloom and wither. After the flower withers, the petals return to heaven and earth, turning into spiritual energy before dissipating. It's extremely rare.

At that time, I remember that Pavilion Master Nan led seven Spiritual Masters to use spiritual energy to forcefully protect and preserve the Great Illusionary Altar Flower. It was then placed in the Nine Mystical Chilled Case to be transported to the capital and sent to the palace."

Nan Libing said in a low voice, "That's right, the person His Majesty treated at that time is the woman standing there, the Seventh Princess Zhao Wanrou!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Changhe and Jiu Kong fell silent.

What else was there to say? In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Su Wen led the Royal princess, while Xue Meng led Honorable Xie. Although the latter was talented, she was in the end just an artisan.

Perhaps in the eyes of the common people, it was even rarer to have someone like Xie Dajia. After all, there were many princesses. Such a talent was hard to find in the world.

However, with the three of them sitting in this position, who would dare to let Su Wen, who brought the princess, lose?

At this point, Xue Meng still did not know Zhao Wanrou's identity.

When he saw Su Wen holding a woman's hand, Xue Meng sneered. "Why? Young Master Su, where did you find another courtesan? Could it be that you want to compete with Honorable Xie based on looks? If that's the case, Honorable Xie is indeed no match for your partner!"

"How dare you!" When Su Wen heard Xue Meng's words, he immediately shouted, "Who are you? How dare you speak like this? The Seventh Princess is right in front of you, how dare you disrespect the Royal family?"

Xue Meng's expression changed drastically!

He never expected that Su Wen would bring the princess here!

In the distance, the Zhou Emperor and the old eunuch were in the crowd. Both were currently dressed in casual clothes.

The Emperor calmly spoke, "This Su Wen knows his limits. He didn't use Wanrou to trick Xue Meng, or else I wouldn't forgive him! But I don't like this Xue Meng."

Indeed, if Su Wen had intentionally concealed Zhao Wanrou's identity, he could have continued to lure Xue Meng into speaking rudely.

However, Su Wen did not do so. While he wanted to use Zhao Wanrou's identity to boost his reputation, it was enough to do so through her identity as a princess. There was no need for him to deliberately let Xue Meng humiliate Zhao Wanrou. He invited her here not to watch her get scolded. Such demeaning behavior was not something Su Wen would do.

The old eunuch smiled and said, "Indeed. If he really used the Seventh Princess to set a trap for Xue Meng, it would have ended in failure. Now Su Wen is certain of victory, while Xue Meng has lost!"

In the arena, Xue Meng hesitated for a moment before bowing to Zhao Wanrou and saying, "This one greets the Seventh Princess. I didn't know that the Seventh Princess would appear in person. I hope the Seventh Princess will forgive me!"

At this moment, regardless of who it was, everyone, including Honorable Xie and the three judges on stage, stood up and bowed to Zhao Wanrou.

The status of the Royal family could be disdained and scolded in private, but on the surface, it was supreme like no other!

Zhao Wanrou said with a smile, "Everyone, please rise. Young Master Su and Young Master Xue's competition in wealth is truly interesting. In addition, I've long heard of Xie Dajia's great name. May I know if you can perform a song for us?"

"Since the princess has spoken, there's no problem!" she smiled in response.

After he finished speaking, someone brought a table and chairs over. Honorable Xie sat in the middle of the crowd and placed the zither on the table. Her ten fingers moved rapidly, and the sound of nature flowed out.

When everyone heard the zither music, they were intoxicated, as if they had entered paradise.

Among the crowd, there was still someone who was clear-headed. The Zhou Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you hear it?"

The old eunuch smiled, "Of course I can tell. Thousand Illusions Music, Desolate Zither; I never thought that this famed Honorable Xie would actually be someone from the Demonic Music Sect. Her technique is truly marvelous; an ordinary person wouldn't be able to distinguish it."

"It's not bad to hear it, but to us, it's a little too crafty. To ordinary people, it can be indeed termed as heavenly music." After saying that, the Emperor turned around and said, "Let's go back to the palace. By the way, this sports car is really interesting. Get the Spiritual Master Residence to build one for me, and tell them that it has to be more handsome than Su Wen's!"

"Then what about this Xie Dajia?"

"Let her be, tell the Martial Inspectorate to keep an eye on her. The demonic path, righteous path, they are all jackals of the same tribe. As long as they don't offend us, we can let them fight each other!"

At this moment, everyone was intoxicated with the tune, including Su Wen. Right at this moment, he suddenly felt the Gu within his body become slightly restless, and it swiftly swam through his body. As the Gu swam through his body, Su Wen's mind cleared up.

As he awoke from his reverie, he also realized that there was something wrong with the zither music.

Upon listening to it again, although it was still nice, the immersion before was gone.

After a while, Honorable Xie finished playing her piece.

Everyone was mesmerized.

"Alright!"

"It's so beautiful! I've never heard such beautiful music before."

"Thank you Xie Dajia, I love you!"

The atmosphere was extremely lively.

Even Zhao Wanrou's face was flushed red with excitement. She pulled Su Wen and said, "Brother Su, I've never heard such moving music."

Su Wen smiled and nodded.

At that moment, the three judges stood up as well. Luo Changhe smiled and said, "Both of you made a promise that you wouldn't show your money and would compete with each other in wealth through this method. Today, it seems that Young Master Su is still better."

Xue Meng lowered his head helplessly.

Xie Dajia was indeed amazing, but just like just now, when the Seventh Princess spoke, did she not have to play her music obediently?

The difference in ranks between them was obvious at a glance.

Most importantly, he didn't expect the Su family to be so ruthless.

Their journey was paved with jade, and precious stones were scattered everywhere. Furthermore, Su Wen drove an unprecedented carriage, and the level of flashiness directly blew up his white jade carriage, making it look pathetic.

In reality, the logic behind why some things appeared expensive was due to their rarity and novelty. If it was in today's society, the white jade carriage would definitely be more expensive and more ostentatious than a sports car.

Not to mention that Xue Meng's eight Dragon Horses were already priceless creatures.

However, in this era where people had never seen a sports car before, the appearance of such an object was beyond their imagination.

At the same time, Su Wen actually invited the Seventh Princess of the royal family. This was something Xue Meng had never expected.

However, after Xue Meng was slightly disappointed, he raised his head and chuckled. "Young Master Su Wen is indeed rich. My Xue family recognizes you. Men, bring me the title deed to the Xue family's gold mine!"

He unrestrainedly spoke. In any case, he had already achieved his goal. In his opinion, the real battle had just begun!
