How can a mere enemy like me?

Chapter 35 Good brother, let me lend you my wife

That afternoon.

When Emperor Wu summoned him, Su Bai naturally rushed to the scene without stopping.

At this moment, a deep red crystal was placed on the table. It was the fire essence stone withdrawn from the national treasury.

"Your Majesty is the best!"

Su Bai spoke the most authentic voice both in his heart and out loud.

Facing the young man who was fawning over him, Emperor Wu rolled his eyes at him.

But when he looked at the boy, there were still some emotional fluctuations in his eyes, indicating that his mood was not very stable.

Abusing power for personal gain could actually happen to me?

This made the emperor, who ruled the world, feel a little embarrassed, and a slight blush appeared on his face that was difficult for others to notice.

But when facing Su Bai, Emperor Wu still said very firmly,

"Since you work for me, I will reward you."

“That’s just part of the compensation.”

"to this end…"

After a pause, Emperor Wu looked more serious.
"I have an important task for you to do."

Facing Su Bai's serious expression, Emperor Wu said,
"The engagement banquet for the eldest son of the Ye family is about to begin, so of course someone from my side will be in attendance."

"You will attend the engagement banquet on my behalf."

His fingers gently stroked the table, and Emperor Wu's eyes suddenly became much deeper.
"The Ye family's heir apparent is planning to marry into the Xiao family. The Xiao family... heh..."

After making a sound that was not sure whether it was a mocking sound or something else, Emperor Wu frowned slightly, as if he was a little distressed about this.
"Although the Xiao family is declining, it still ranks among the top wealthy families."

"Now that the Ye family, the new elite in the capital, is marrying into the Xiao family, this is another marriage of power and nobility."

"It's not difficult to deal with each of these aristocratic families individually, but the connections between them are so complex and intertwined that it's hard to untangle them. One move can affect the entire group..."

Such a complicated network of aristocratic families was not what Emperor Wu wanted to see.

Emperor Wu naturally wanted to solve this situation, but as he said, it would affect the whole body, so it was difficult for him to do it.

Emperor Wu was very distressed about this situation.

Especially the Ye family.

The Ye family is very likely to be involved in the unsolved case of the crown prince, which makes things even more troublesome.

Listening to Emperor Wu's words, Su Bai understood what he meant and approached Emperor Wu, acting like a sensible subordinate.

"I understand. Something is bound to happen to one of these two families."

Ahem...

Emperor Wu coughed lightly, looked up at Su Bai with a strange look in his eyes.

Obviously, Emperor Wu was not that cruel.

Emperor Wu was about to speak when he saw Su Bai understood again and continued to say,
"I understand. Your Majesty seems to want me to attend the engagement banquet, but in fact, there is a deeper plan."

"Your Majesty, do you hope to use the demise of the Ye family as a warning to other prominent families?"

At first it was just an incident, but now they are going to destroy the whole family and make a warning?
Su Bai's ideas were more cruel than each other, which made Emperor Wu feel a little scared.

He would kill an entire family at any time.

You are too vicious!

I don't remember teaching you to be like this!
But soon.

Emperor Wu noticed the smile on Su Bai's lips. It was the smile of someone who wanted to laugh but didn't dare, yet couldn't hold it back...

At this point, how could Emperor Wu not know what Su Bai meant?
boom.

Patting the table lightly, Emperor Wu glanced at Su Bai and raised his hand to nod at him.
"You are really getting more and more outrageous. You even dare to make fun of me?"

I don't care about face!
Emperor Wu raised his hand and tapped Su Bai's head gently, but did not say anything else.

Anyway, as long as he knows what to do.

Emperor Wu was still very confident in Su Bai.

"I'll leave this matter entirely to you."

Finally, Emperor Wu gave Su Bai an order, "I await your results."

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely help you resolve your worries."

Su Bai was much more serious this time and took on the task.

Available immediately.

Su Bai seemed to reveal his true colors. He raised his head and asked with a smile,

"Your Majesty, this mission is not that simple. If I succeed, will there be any additional rewards?"

"what do you want?"

Emperor Wu asked directly without thinking.

But Emperor Wu did not expect that Su Bai's eyes were actually on Emperor Wu.
"I would like the jade pendant that Your Majesty wears."

Emperor Wu was a little surprised, but then he gave an ambiguous answer.

"This... wait until you've finished. If you succeed, why would I be so stingy with my reward?"

Afterwards, Su Bai was sent away on the pretext that he needed to make good preparations.

Su Bai didn't continue to pester him.

After leaving the palace, Su Bai began to prepare for the banquet.

Su Bai has his own purpose, and he is on someone else's territory, so of course he has to bring his thugs with him.

Immediately.

Su Bai went directly to the Tang family and found his good brother.

In front of his good brother, Su Bai patted Tang Fan on the shoulder and said straight to the point,

"Old Tang, I need to borrow your wife for something. Do you mind?"

of course!
Tang Fan couldn't help but roar in his heart, and his face turned a little dark.

but…

For the sake of his plan, he could only continue to endure.
"Of course... no problem..."

"Brother Su Bai, how can I not trust you? We are good brothers."

then.

With Tang Fan's consent, Su Bai led Jun Chaoxi out in front of Tang Fan. When passing by Tang Fan, he even greeted him warmly...

After leaving the Tang Mansion, Su Bai took Jun Chaoxi to choose new clothes for the banquet.

In this regard.

Jun Chaoxi was very resistant.

"I have clothes, so why should I wear the ones you bought me?"

"Besides, what's the point of dressing up? I have no intention of doing anything that doesn't benefit my cultivation."

Do you want me to dress up nicely so that you will be more interested in bullying me?
She followed Su Bai reluctantly, muttering to herself.

Su Bai said as a matter of course,
"Girls should pay attention to dressing themselves up, do you know?"

"As my thug, your appearance when you go out represents my reputation. If you don't dress well, I'm the one who's embarrassed."

"Don't you understand? Don't lose face for your master!"

"You, keep your voice down!"

After taking a look at the people around him, Jun Chaoxi whispered to Su Bai.

Seeing that Su Bai stopped talking, she raised her head and looked around.

Although she was ordered to do so, Fairy Jinglan was still happy when she saw the dazzling array of new clothes.

These clothes are so beautiful!
But at this moment, a small accident interrupted Jun Chaoxi's appreciation.

Outside the store, a certain Sima was patrolling back and forth.

She said she was on patrol, but looking at the way she was looking around, I always felt like she was looking for someone.
