MY WIFE IS A GENERAL WHO KILLED TENS OF THOUSANDS ON THE BATTLEFIELD

Chapter 93 - What Are You Good At?



Chapter 93: What Are You Good At?

In the royal palace, Emperor Zhou was currently reviewing memorials.

Suddenly, a guard came in to report.

“Your Majesty, Su Wen is outside the palace and requests an audience!”

Emperor Zhou raised his head and narrowed his eyes. “Su Wen? This brat, does he have to keep prancing in front of me? Let him in, I want to see what he wants!”

Not long after, Su Wen entered the Emperor’s work chambers!

“Why are you meeting me?” Emperor Zhou stated calmly.

Su Wen bowed and said, “Your Majesty, I request Your Majesty to issue a decree to annul the engagement!”

Emperor Zhou raised his eyebrows. “Break off the engagement?”

Su Wen hurriedly said, “Didn’t Your Majesty summon Yan Luoying? It’s fine if she doesn’t agree to annul the engagement. I agree. This marriage isn’t something that one can decide on their own. I can just choose to cancel the engagement, right?”

Initially, Su Wen didn’t dare to cancel the engagement with Emperor Zhou because he felt that Emperor Zhou wanted him to marry Yan Luoying. However, from the looks of it, Emperor Zhou wanted to cancel the engagement, so Su Wen took the initiative to propose it.

Emperor Zhou touched his chin and felt a little awkward. He coughed, “Yan Luoying said that she fell in love with you. If she annulled the engagement, she would kill herself!”

“Your Majesty, how can you believe such words? Aren’t women all like this? They cry, throw a tantrum, and threaten to hang themselves. Even if you cancel the engagement, she might not die!” Su Wen voiced his biased opinion.

“Haha!” Emperor Zhou sneered. He planned to put Yan Luoying in an important position in the future, so how could he allow her to hold grudges? However, he could not tell Su Wen about his plans.

“If she dies, will you pay with your life?” Emperor Zhou retorted.

Su Wen said righteously, “Of course not!”

“Then this engagement cannot be annulled!” As soon as he said this, Emperor Zhou suddenly thought of a problem. Su Wen was also someone he planned to put in an important position in the future. In fact, once Su Wen broke through to the Heaven Rank, his strategic position would be above Yan Luoying’s!

He quickly thought of an excuse to comfort him. “You have to know that Yan Ze is guarding the border after all. If anything happens to Yan Luoying, it won’t be a matter of just one life. You have to consider the big picture!”

He smiled again and said, “Don’t pretend to be innocent after getting a bargain. Yan Luoying’s looks are still considered top tier, no matter what. She’s also well-educated and magnanimous. Isn’t it good to marry her?”

Su Wen glanced at him and muttered, “If she’s so good, why didn’t you marry her?”

Emperor Zhou flew into a rage. “What nonsense are you talking about? Men, chase him out! You, hurry and report to the Profound Language Pavilion!”

After Su Wen was chased out, Emperor Zhou rubbed his brows as he grumbled, “How did this brat have such guts? How were his legs not broken by Su Changqing before?”

By the side, the old eunuch commented with a smile, “Lord Su is still young after all. His temperament is thus a bit more eccentric.”

Emperor Zhou smiled bitterly and said, “I’m really in a difficult position now. Yan Luoying will bear a grudge against me if I break off the engagement, and now I don’t know what this Su Wen is thinking as well.

If I had known that this would happen, I would have just allowed the marriage to proceed despite Su Wen’s limited lifespan. No, I shouldn’t have arranged a marriage for these two people from the start! Both of them are real pieces of work! And Wanrou is now roped in, what a mess!”

The old eunuch didn’t dare to continue. Now that things had come to this, probably only the spirits themselves knew how to solve this problem.

Initially, they had thought that Su Wen was a good-for-nothing, and did not need to consider his thoughts. In the end, this fellow’s talent in martial arts was revealed to be excellent, and with the Sorcerer God’s Golden Gu in his body, he had become someone with a high potential to step into the Heaven Rank.

One on the left and one on the right. There had been plans laid out to utilize the both of them, but they each had their own ideas.

With the Seventh Princess sandwiched between them right now, even the emperor found it hard to make a decision.

However, Emperor Zhou was more inclined to prioritize Yan Luoying. After all, in his eyes, Su Wen might be a future Heaven Rank cultivator, but it was still unknown how far he could grow in just ten years.

Yan Luoying’s military career would at least be expected to be long and stable.

However, this marriage matter was giving him a headache.

Outside the palace, Su Wen had just gotten chased out. He felt rather helpless.

Zhao Jin could tell that he wasn’t in a good mood, so he smiled and said, “Young master, why don’t we go to the pavilions today to relax?”

“I’m not going! I’m going to the Profound Language Pavilion! It’s already so late, if I don’t report now, then perhaps His Majesty will punish me for my crimes tomorrow.”

Su Wen replied in a weak tone.

Zhao Jin hurriedly drove the carriage straight to the Profound Language Pavilion.

Soon after, they arrived at the place. Su Wen got off the carriage and sighed before walking in.

Upon seeing Fei Chi, Su Wen gave a casual bow. One could tell from the way he bowed about his attitude towards him.

After all, Su Wen knew that he had a feud with this old man.

After paying his respects, Su Wen did not need Fei Chi to lead the way for him. He found a chair to sit on and casually said, “I know that you want to kill me, but I really didn’t want to come to your place either. If you are unhappy, you can go find His Majesty yourself!”

Fei Chi looked at Su Wen in front of him and wanted to slap him. However, he knew that he could not defeat Su Wen. Moreover, if he dared to hit Su Wen, Su Wen would not show mercy even if he were to hit an old man.

Most importantly, Su Wen was now related to his future!

However, he did not display a fawning expression towards Su Wen either. His face was dark as he said in a deep voice, “Since His Majesty wants you to be a lecturer at the Profound Language Pavilion, as subjects, we naturally have to take orders. What are you good at?”

Su Wen pondered for a moment and said, “What am I good at? That’s quite a lot. I can eat, drink, and have fun. I’m not bad at anything. I’m considered to be proficient in playing the zither and playing the flute. As for touching the bones and fortune-telling, I’m also slightly proficient in it. However, I only calculate for women. If we’re talking about martial arts, I reckon that even if all of the Profound Language Pavilion combined forces, they wouldn’t be able to defeat me!”

Fei Chi felt the veins on his forehead twitching!

He gritted his teeth and said, “I’m asking what sort of ancient records you are good at!”

Su Wen glanced at him and said with a smile, “Recently, I spotted a book about a garden full of the beauty of spring in the market. I think it’s pretty well written and I remember the plot clearly!”

Fei Chi was furious: “That is a filthy book, do you think I don’t know?”

Su Wen gave him a meaningful look and said, “Of course Elder Fei knows. Otherwise, how would you know it’s a filthy book?”

“You…” Fei Chi took a deep breath, calmed himself, and changed the subject. “Amongst the Books of the Sages, which are you good at?”

“The Enlightenment Book and the Learning Dictionary!” This time, Su Wen did not tease the old fellow. He could not be bothered to look at those sage books.

(TL Note: The Enlightenment Book is a type of book for early childhood, and the learning dictionary is those junior dictionary for kids LOL)

It wasn’t like he was illiterate.

He had pretended to learn these two books when he was young to deceive others!

“That’s it?” Fei Chi couldn’t believe it.

“That’s all!” Su Wen shrugged helplessly.

Fei Chi gritted his teeth and said, “Su Changqing is the current Prime Minister after all. Does he not care about you?”

“He did. Doesn’t this already show that he did?” Su Wen smiled.

Fei Chi was helpless. This was someone that was going to be a lecturer?

Even any compiler of the Profound Language Pavilion would be able to beat him for ten streets worth if their knowledge was converted into martial arts!

“Forget it, let’s just leave it at that. The Profound Language Pavilion lectures aren’t conducted every day. Every two days, you’ll lecture for two hours. From the Six Canons and Five Classics, you’ll have to look for the contents of your lectures yourself!

But let me tell you, the scholars of the Profound Language Pavilion aren’t easy to fool. If you don’t do a good job, they might mock you instead. However, I forbid you from taking action, otherwise, I won’t let you stay in the pavilion no matter what!”

The Five Canons and Six Classics were the exemplary records written by the Sages in this world.
