He paused, then continued, "Now that Wang Sanyang's body has been obtained by this person, I advise the commander to find another way and not to confront him head-on."
This is currently the only solution.
Taking force to seize it will only make things worse.
"You..." Commander Xu clenched his fists, unable to speak.
He staggered back a few steps and plopped down on the stool.
"General Xu, that young man is also quite concerned about the Five Demon Gu. Perhaps you should hand it over to him to avert disaster... perhaps..."
"Bullshit!" Commander Xu roared, tearing off the red embroidered ball tied to his chest and slamming it to the ground. "I will never give up those treasures!"
That was a priceless treasure that he had worked so hard to obtain!
He has recently contacted a buyer, and the price offered by the buyer is enough to further enhance his current strength!
In order to realize his ambition, he absolutely cannot give up the Five Demon Gu!
"Alas—if that's the case, there's nothing I can do to help."
Long Hai shook his head and sighed.
If he were dealing with an ordinary person, he might have been able to use force to retrieve Wang Sanyang's body.
Unfortunately, the people he encounters now fill him with fear, and he dares not make any rash moves.
Therefore, he had no choice but to withdraw completely and not get involved in this mess anymore.
He's old and only wants to make more money to live a better life; he doesn't want to be one of those left behind.
"Then, congratulations on your marriage, Marshal."
Long Hai nodded and offered a soft congratulatory message before turning to leave.
But at that moment, Commander Xu suddenly spoke up.
"Where are they now?"
……
Things have developed far beyond what Marshal Xu expected.
Unexpectedly, the young man that Jiang Dalong brought was able to leave him helpless!
He was a powerful warlord! A highly respected general!
But for the sake of the bigger picture, he had to make a final concession.
The Five Demon Gu is something he absolutely cannot give away... but otherwise, he is willing to make any exchange.
Therefore, this wedding banquet ended quite quickly.
Almost as if the meal was cut short, before all the dishes had been served, Commander Xu forcefully asked the distinguished guests to leave.
This inevitably displeased the bride, but Commander Xu couldn't care less about such things at the moment.
After carrying the bride back to the bridal chamber, he quickly changed her clothes and then ordered Butler Li to take out and pack up the several boxes of gold bars and some valuable treasures hidden in the study.
They then summoned a carriage and set off under the cover of night.
Forget about the saying "a moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold," he now only wants to settle things peacefully.
……
"what's up?"
"Where is the commander rushing off to in such a hurry?"
Inside the Marshal's mansion, the wives all expressed their incomprehension at Marshal Xu's unusual behavior.
On their wedding night, he actually abandoned his bride and ran out in the middle of the night?
That's really strange.
This relieved the first and second wives, who wore smug smiles.
"So this beautiful eighteen-year-old girl is nothing special after all?"
"Yes, once the novelty wears off, you can't keep a man for anything..."
The two ladies lowered their heads and chuckled.
Meanwhile, Butler Li, who was watching everything from the corner of the wall, couldn't help but smile...
it's time!
Taking advantage of the fact that Commander Xu was out and there were no other people in the mansion, they took advantage of the situation.
But this is the perfect opportunity to steal the Five Demon Cups!
Chapter 180 Negotiations Break Down! Commander Xu is at his wit's end!
Marshal Xu did not want too many people to know about this secret meeting, so he only brought a few soldiers with him for escort.
By the time he arrived at the outskirts of the city, he was drenched in sweat.
It wasn't that I was tired, it was that I was afraid.
He harbored a slight fear of Su Feng from the very beginning…
If he could, he wouldn't want to be enemies with this unfathomable young man, but at this moment it was no longer up to him to decide.
"You guys wait for me here."
Commander Xu waved for the troops to stop, then got off the carriage alone and carefully walked toward the post station not far away.
He was still somewhat apprehensive as he got closer.
No one can predict what will happen tonight.
Perhaps Master Longhai is right; he shouldn't have provoked Su Feng so easily—it was an unwise decision…
"You're still here."
As he approached, Commander Xu suddenly heard a sound coming from inside the house.
It was very light, yet it resonated deeply, like a thunderbolt striking his heart.
Commander Xu felt his legs go weak, but he forced himself to calm down and called out to the dark doorway.
"Young Master Su... I've come as you said!"
no respond.
The area ahead remained silent.
That open door was like a tempting black hole, beckoning him...
It was as if he was to walk in himself.
After much hesitation, Commander Xu finally made up his mind and cautiously walked in.
Since he was already here, he couldn't leave empty-handed.
He kept giving himself positive self-talk.
He is a great general.
It is the mighty Marshal Xu!
We absolutely cannot lose in terms of momentum!
But when he entered the house and got used to the darkness, what came into his view was a rotting zombie that reeked of stench!
She stood right in front of him, less than an arm's length away.
"Whoa!—"
Xu Dashuai was so frightened that he turned to run away, but he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Zombies! Zombies!"
He screamed, his white-gloved hands frantically groping at his waist, trembling as he pulled out a pistol.
Fear made him abandon all thought, and he pointed the gun at the zombie right in front of him, ready to pull the trigger.
Just then, a figure slowly emerged from behind the zombie...
"Why should the commander-in-chief be afraid?"
Su Feng's face appeared in the moonlight streaming through the doorway, his cold gaze stopping Commander Xu's impulsive act.
"Young Master Su?"
Xu Dashuai was somewhat surprised. He quickly put away his pistol and helped himself up against the wall.
Only then did he see that, besides Su Feng, there were many other people standing around the house, including Jiang Dalong, Annie, and the exorcist he had seen at the town entrance that morning.
"...General Xu shouldn't fail to recognize him, right?" Su Feng chuckled softly as he walked up to General Xu. "This is an old acquaintance of General Xu."
Wang Sanyang's body stood there straight, like a statue, with the talisman on his forehead fluttering in the wind.
"Young Master Su, please don't joke around. How could I possibly know these things?"
Commander Xu hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and responded guiltily.
But his expression could no longer conceal it; the fear revealed on his face had already proven everything.
“You killed my father! You killed my father for your treasure! Do you still want to deny it?!” Annie stood up excitedly and accused him loudly.
"I overheard the truth from your room this afternoon!"
Faced with the shocking truth, Commander Xu frowned deeply, his face contorted with trembling pain.
At that moment, he knew that no amount of explanation would make a difference.
Once Wang Sanyang's body is discovered, it means that everything he did will be made public.
Therefore, he must remain calm and protect the Five Demon Gu...
"This was purely an accident." Commander Xu changed his tone, revealing a fake smile.
Just as Su Feng and his companions saw when they visited the Marshal's Mansion that day.
