How can a mere enemy like me?

Chapter 64: The Shura Field Arrives Late, but the Emperor's True Identity Revealed (8k)

The orphan of the prince, the brothel name Lian, the pacification god of fate, someone else's fiancée...

These four people are all well-known and capable people, and judging from their appearance, their beauty is also natural...

Before coming, Emperor Wu was a little worried about Su Bai.

Although Su Bai handled yesterday's incident perfectly, Emperor Wu was still worried that Su Bai would be affected or even seriously hurt because of some of his actions.

But now it seems that not only is Su Bai fine, but he is also surrounded by so many beautiful women... It seems that I have been worrying about her in vain?

For a moment, Emperor Wu felt that he was being a little too sentimental.

Su Bai, who was about to step forward to greet Emperor Wu, felt a great chill at this moment.

He looked at the elegant and noble Emperor Wu in front of him, and then looked at the four people on the other side who had fallen into silence.

For some reason, Su Bai suddenly felt like he was about to face a disaster...

The other side.

Seeing Emperor Wu coming in, after getting over the initial shock, Wu Ningshuang hurriedly took off the knife from her waist and put it aside.

immediately.

She walked forward quickly and bowed respectfully to Emperor Wu.

"Your humble servant, Wu Ningshuang, pays respects to Your Majesty."

And it was precisely because of this simple sentence that the identity of Emperor Wu was revealed.

moment.

The look in Jun Chaoxi's eyes when he looked at Emperor Wu became a little different.

Emperor Wu... This was her goal for coming down the mountain, and it could even be said to be her primary goal.

At least that's how it always was.

But it was not until today that she met the Emperor Wu, whom she had been thinking about for the first time.

how to say?

It's a little beyond expectations, or rather, very different.

In her imagination, Emperor Wu should be domineering and tyrannical.

But when she saw him now, she discovered that the real Emperor Wu was completely different from what she had known.

At this moment, the mortal enemy standing in front of him not only did not have the slightest domineering and tyrannical attitude, but was unusually elegant and noble.

She just stood there and unconsciously attracted everyone's attention, making people feel like they were worshipping her.

Especially this noble posture, as if this emperor can naturally control everything in the world.

This is a natural born emperor!
After a moment of silence, Emperor Wu slowly spoke.
"I have heard that it was you guys who helped Lord Su survive this disaster and crushed the conspiracy of the person behind the scenes."

"You did a great job, I am very satisfied."

After expressing his praise to several people, Emperor Wu looked at Su Bai who was standing aside.

"Lord Su, please come with me. I have something to tell you."

"Yes."

Su Bai bowed, looking very respectful, and then hurriedly followed Emperor Wu out.

The two of them walked all the way into the garden, and Emperor Wu finally stopped.

Standing with his hands behind his back, Emperor Wu turned his back to Su Bai, looking at the lush flowers and plants in front of him, but did not say a word.

Su Bai, who was following behind Emperor Wu, could only stand there in silence.

The atmosphere between the two was silent and serious, as if something big had happened.

Gradually, Su Bai felt that he could not bear it anymore.

And just then.

Emperor Wu suddenly spoke, his words full of ridicule towards Su Bai.
"Lord Su is doing quite well."

"I was worried about you in the palace before, but I didn't expect that not only would you be fine, but you would also be surrounded by so many beautiful women."

"It seems that our Su Aiqing's luck with love is really too strong."

If Emperor Wu's tone had not been so unfriendly, Su Bai would have really believed that Emperor Wu was making fun of him.

But with words like this, coupled with the other party's tone, how could Su Bai not understand Emperor Wu's thoughts?
Su Bai understood what he meant and quickly walked to the side of Emperor Wu and made a firm promise.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. My heart is always with you."

"I have always reserved the position of master of the house for Your Majesty."

There always feels something wrong with these words, as if they are a confession.

But Emperor Wu did not think much about it, and just thought that Su Bai was expressing his loyalty to him.

only…

These words were indeed nice to hear, and Su Bai was too good at flattery, acting very sensible.

This made it difficult for Emperor Wu to say what he had originally wanted to say.

Emperor Wu originally wanted to make things difficult for Su Bai, but now it was difficult to do so...

If Emperor Wu continued to make things difficult, he himself would feel that this would make him seem like he cared too much.

Without any choice.

Emperor Wu could only cough lightly and change the subject.

"Ahem...well, of course I believe you."

"Okay, let's get down to business first. What exactly happened yesterday? Have you found out anything?"

“Naturally, the harvest is not small.”

In this matter, Su Bai had nothing to hide from Emperor Wu, so he told Emperor Wu what he had seen and learned, as well as his own guesses... which was actually what he knew from his memories of his previous life.

"I see."

Emperor Wu frowned and thought. He didn't expect that Su Bai had experienced so much and gained so much.

But then.

Emperor Wu then listened to Su Bai say,

"Your Majesty, since I have already taken care of this matter, then the reward Your Majesty promised me..."

Seeing that Wudi didn't mention the reward he had promised him before, Su Bai could only remind him.

As long as I can get this thing, will I be able to know the true face of Emperor Wu?

This is really something to look forward to.

Hear this.

Emperor Wu naturally also remembered the conversation between himself and Su Bai at the beginning.

Looking down at the jade pendant around his neck, Emperor Wu looked a little uncomfortable.

What should I do if I agree but don’t really want to give it?
She turned away awkwardly, trying to play dumb.
"Why, do I have to reward you for doing something for me?"

"If I don't give you a reward, will you stop working for me?"

"Of course not. It is my duty to serve Your Majesty."

Su Bai said this very seriously, but before Emperor Wu could be happy, he changed the subject.
"But, after all, this is what His Majesty promised. His Majesty has always been a man of his word, and I don't want His Majesty to break his promise."

His body stiffened slightly, and Emperor Wu was silent for a moment before continuing,

"Well, after all, I promised you. I will pick out some good things for you later and have them delivered to you."

"Your Majesty promised me the jade pendant on your neck."

"I have many of the same thing. This one is nothing special. I'll have someone send you the others."

"No, Your Majesty, I only want the one Your Majesty is wearing."

Su Bai pressed on step by step, and Emperor Wu could no longer play dumb and was forced to fulfill his promise.
"This...whatever, it's just a jade pendant..."

Hear this.

Su Bai's eyes lit up, and then he stared at the jade pendant on the Jade Emperor's beautiful white neck.

Now, the secret is about to be revealed!

Facing Su Bai's inquiring and expectant eyes, Emperor Wu slowly took off the jade pendant from his neck.

coming!

Su Bai felt even more excited.

At this moment, he is about to see the scene that he saw before his rebirth.

however.

When the jade pendant was completely taken off, Su Bai looked at Emperor Wu, but found that there was no change on Emperor Wu's body.

Emperor Wu was still the same as usual, with the same figure and appearance. Even on his beautiful face, there was no change.

This...this isn't right!
Su Bai was stunned and very surprised.

He remembered that what he saw before his rebirth was not like this!

Su Bai frowned slightly, feeling that he could no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Could it be that what I saw in my previous life was fake?

However, he remembered the last scene of his previous life very clearly. It was imprinted in Su Bai's mind as if it were carved with a knife or an axe. There was no way he was mistaken.

It has come to that point. There is no need for Emperor Wu to deceive Su Bai. It should not be fake.

So, is it actually Emperor Wu who is deceiving himself now?

I can't tell the difference, I really can't tell the difference!

But it has to be said.

The brother standing in front of Su Bai at this moment is indeed very handsome.

The sunlight shone down and sprinkled on Emperor Wu's body, making his skin look crystal clear and delicate, as if it was reflecting light.

This skin is more delicate and crystal clear than that of a girl!

Although that face has some masculine features, it is mostly beautiful and gentle.

At least it is much softer than a normal male face.

If this isn't a woman, then this is truly a gorgeous man-girl...

So, it’s not impossible to have a beautiful boy girl?
Su Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, constantly calculating in his mind.

The thought of deceiving the emperor in his heart was immediately caught by Emperor Wu.

Tsk, even this can't dispel your thoughts, is this really acceptable?
You are such a despicable person!
Emperor Wu looked at Su Bai with disdain, and a hint of anger in his eyes.

How could she not see Su Bai's little thoughts?
This stinky little brother, how dare he be so bold as to test me?
When you say you want your own jade pendant, you actually just want to know your identity, right?

Such a stinky brother who bullies the emperor... deserves to be punished!
then.

Emperor Wu patted Su Bai's shoulder and showed a kind smile.

"Speaking of which, Su Qing, your strength has improved a lot recently, but what opportunity did you get?"

"Well... I did get a pretty good technique recently. It improved my talents a bit, and my cultivation has improved even faster."

Su Bai was stunned for a moment. Before he could react why Emperor Wu mentioned this, he told Emperor Wu the truth in detail.

But then, Su Bai heard Emperor Wu say,
"In that case, you should also practice asceticism."

"With your current level of cultivation, hard training is the best way to improve your strength."

"I will supervise your hard training, don't worry."

ha?
Asceticism?

At this?

Su Bai was completely stunned and confused about Emperor Wu's train of thought.

How did Emperor Wu suddenly think of forcing himself to practice hard?
and.

Speaking of ascetic practice, how should I practice asceticism?
Facing Su Bai's somewhat confused eyes, Emperor Wu uttered a few words.

In the blink of an eye.

Su Bai lay on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, and kept doing push-ups.

And on Su Bai's body, there was a figure sitting, it was Emperor Wu.

Sitting on Su Bai's back, Emperor Wu gently patted Su Bai's shoulder.

"Go on, faster, you're still a long way off."

"I don't have that much time. If you delay my work, you should know the consequences, right?"

Hear this.

Su Bai paused for a moment, then moved faster.

Feeling the changes in the other party's movements, Emperor Wu's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was in a better mood.

He adjusted his embroidered robe, and as Su Bai moved, the hem of Emperor Wu's robe moved up and down.

The snow-white silk stockings hidden inside were vaguely revealed.

This is not a style for a man to wear.

Not only that.

The pair of beautiful legs accidentally crossed, showing off their slenderness and length perfectly.

Coupled with Emperor Wu's slightly gentle posture and movements...

This seems to explain something.

But a pity.

Su Bai couldn't see these and still knew nothing about it.

In his ears, there was only the cold urging of Emperor Wu.

"Faster, faster! If this is the only speed you can go, how can you say you will help me in the future?"

"Faster, believe in your potential, you can go even faster..."

But I’m already very fast!

Su Bai felt very uncomfortable. Why was His Majesty so overbearing today?

It seemed that he felt that Su Bai's punishment was almost enough.

Emperor Wu also relaxed a little, thinking back to the people he had just seen in Su Bai's room, and asked curiously,
"Tell me the truth, how did you get that upright Siming to work for you?"

People like Wu Ningshuang are indeed useful, and as long as she trusts you, you can rest assured and hand things over to her.

But at the same time, such people are generally difficult to motivate.

Because of her integrity and stubbornness, it is difficult for her to completely trust anyone. When encountering unfair things, no matter who is behind it, she dares to intervene.

Countless powerful people in the entire capital have had conflicts with her, and countless people have been troubled by this and wanted to win her over but couldn't.

It took Emperor Wu several years of consistent performance to completely convince Wu Ningshuang.

However, this had cost the Martial Emperor several years, and Su Bai had managed to get Wu Ningshuang to work for him in just a few days. This was somewhat unbelievable to the Martial Emperor. "And even Xiaoxiang Yanyu, the famous opera singer in the capital, was abducted by you?"

Although she was just a famous actress, legend has it that she was reserved and arrogant, and would not give face to anyone. Even those top dignitaries spent countless money on her, but they could not get a chance to meet her.

But such a person actually stayed here with Su Bai honestly and was very affectionate to Su Bai...

Emperor Wu really wanted to know how Su Bai did it.

Emperor Wu had never expected that his younger brother would be so powerful.

Of course, Su Bai had nothing to hide about this.

As the two asked and answered questions, Su Bai's punishment time finally ended.

Emperor Wu stood aside, straightened his clothes, and then asked,
"As you said, this matter may not be over yet, so what are you going to do next?"

"Of course I'll retaliate fiercely."

Su Bai said this as a matter of course, with a bright smile on his face, like a sunny and cheerful boy.

But this smile made Emperor Wu feel quite chilling.

Coming back to his senses, Emperor Wu looked at Su Bai deeply.

Although I don’t know what Su Bai is going to do.

But Emperor Wu still gave Su Bai the greatest trust.

Emperor Wu did not specifically ask Su Bai what he planned to do, but only reminded him,
"Know the limits and don't be too extreme."

Although Emperor Wu did not make his words very clear, he believed that Su Bai would understand what he meant.

Su Bai and Emperor Wu naturally had a tacit understanding, and he immediately understood what Emperor Wu meant. He made a serious promise to Emperor Wu.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know what's going on."

"Ah."

Emperor Wu nodded slightly, then took out an imperial edict and handed it to Su Bai.

"Since you have promised the people of the capital, you must do it well."

"I also want to see what you can accomplish with this."

Su Bai took the imperial edict, opened it and took a look, then his eyes lit up.

This imperial edict was issued by Emperor Wu in his own name, appointing Su Bai to establish the Wanmin Court.

Although this imperial edict was only taken out at this moment, judging from the ink that had completely dried on it, it was obvious that Emperor Wu had prepared this imperial edict long ago.

It is even possible that Emperor Wu was already prepared after Su Bai said those words yesterday.

As a minister, Su Bai did not tell Emperor Wu about this matter in advance, and it could even be said that he acted on his own initiative.

But Emperor Wu not only had no doubts, he didn't even mind at all. He gave the things to Su Bai without Su Bai asking...

It is enough to show that Emperor Wu's trust in Su Bai is absolutely unmatched by anyone else.

Since His Majesty trusts me so much, I must do this job well.

Su Bai put away the imperial edict, respectfully bid farewell to Emperor Wu, and immediately began to act.

The first thing he has to do is... make himself feel good.

He went straight into his study. On the table was the information that Su Bai had previously commissioned Feiyue to collect.

It records in detail who attacked Su Bai yesterday, who danced the most, and what dirty things these people did...

On the surface, those civil officials and dignitaries all look glamorous, great and upright, as if they are truly dedicated to serving the country and the people.

But in private, Su Bai didn't bother to look at the despicable things these people did. There were too many of them and they were too obvious. He could find a lot of them with just a casual check.

Su Bai didn't use these things in the critical situation yesterday, but now is the time for this information to come into play.

Calling Feiyue to come in front of him, Su Bai leaned close to her ear and whispered a few instructions.

Listening to Su Bai's words, Feiyue blinked and immediately understood what Su Bai meant.
"Master, do you want to...direct and perform the show yourself?"

"Hey, how can you say something so harsh?"

Su Bai waved his hands, pretending to care about the world.
"On behalf of Your Majesty, I established the Court of All Peoples precisely to provide justice to the people of the world. However, corrupt officials are so powerful that the people cannot speak out. I have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

"This can also be considered a promotional video for our Wanmin Court, allowing the people of the capital to see our determination and ability. What's wrong with that?"

"Besides, these things are true, right? The person you were asked to find is also real, right? So how can it be considered a self-directed and self-acted show?"

But no matter how beautiful Su Bai's words are, it still cannot change the fact that he directs and acts in the show himself.

Maybe this is the way to open up the situation...

Even Feiyue had to praise Su Bai for his quick wit.

After taking a deep look at Su Bai, Feiyue's lips curled up into a smile.

As a master, I am becoming more and more surprising.

I'm really becoming more and more interested in him.

And as Feiyue took action.

soon.

Outside Su Bai's Court of All People, people were beating drums to protest their grievances.

Under the gaze of countless people in the capital, the man beating the drum was immediately brought in politely and brought in front of Su Bai.

Looking at the old man in front of him who was pale and thin and in a very bad mood, Su Bai quickly stood up and helped the old man sit down. Then he asked with a pleasant face,
"Father-in-law, you come to beat the drum, but what grievances are there that cannot be redressed?"

"Su, Lord Su, I recognize you. If it weren't for you, the lives of us ordinary people wouldn't be as good as they are today."

"So, if you say you can redress our grievances, I naturally believe you. However, that person is in a high position and has great power..."

Glancing at the people crowded at the entrance of the Court of All Peoples, Su Bai deliberately raised his voice.
"Don't be afraid, old man. If you have any grievances, just speak out."

"I don't care who he is, or what his status is. As long as he dares to violate the laws of Daxia and oppress the people, I will never let him go, even if he is the left prime minister or even a relative of the emperor!"

Su Bai's passionate words immediately drew cheers from the people outside the door.

They all looked at Su Bai with expectant eyes, as if they had already regarded Su Bai as the sky.

Su Qingtian!
When the old man heard Su Bai's words, he seemed to be relieved. Then he gritted his teeth and said,

"Sir Su, I am filing a complaint against Wang Yun, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice!"

"That crooked official Wang Yun accepted money from the murderer and not only released him, but he also slandered my poor son as the real murderer."

"My poor child... after only a few days in prison, this bastard official hired someone to beat him to death..."

Next came the old man's cries, which made everyone in the Wanmin Court feel sympathetic and empathetic.

When Su Bai opened his mouth again, he seemed to be angry as well, and his face had darkened.

"Father-in-law, please sit here and rest. Today, I will give you justice!"

After helping the old man sit aside, Su Bai shouted,

"Come here, follow me to Wang Yun's house and bring this guy called Wang Yun to me!"

As soon as Su Bai said this, countless people outside the Wanmin Court who were watching this scene were instantly shocked.

They really didn't expect that Su Bai was serious!

Su Bai, the Minister of Justice, was second only to the Minister of Justice. He didn't hesitate at all and arrested him directly.

This Lord Su... seems to be a really good official who serves the people.

Seeing that Su Bai had already left the Court of Ten Thousand People, the people hurriedly followed him.

immediately.

These people saw that Su Bai actually brought people to Wang Yun's home.

"Break the door open for me!"

Looking at the closed door in front of him, Su Bai gave direct orders.

As the two people from the Pacification Office took action, the gate was instantly shattered, revealing the terrified face of Wang Yun who happened to be behind the gate.

"Master Su, what are you doing!?"

He received a notification from his servants and knew that Su Bai was coming, so he took the initiative to come and greet him.

But he didn't expect that Su Bai's methods would be so explosive that he could actually break through the door directly.

It seems that today's matter will not end well.

"Do you need me to point out what you did one by one?"

Looking down at Wang Yun from above, Su Bai's voice was a little cold.
"You accepted bribes and took human lives lightly. Today, I, Su Bai, will stand up for the people. No one can protect you!"

"Come here, bring him back to the Court of Nations. I want to interrogate him personally."

Today, Su Bai personally brought people to the house to arrest someone, and he wanted to use Wang Yun as the first person!

It's not just Wang Yun, nor is it just the old father-in-law.

Su Bai arranged more than one scene.

He wanted to use this group of fence-sitters to help build the reputation of his Wanmin Court.

then.

In just one day, Su Bai arrested no less than two dozen people.

These people are all important officials of Daxia who can stand in the court, and they were also the ones who joined in criticizing Su Bai yesterday.

The most intuitive manifestation is...

The next day, in the court hall.

The surviving officials looked at the vacant positions around them and were very confused.

Why are there so few people attending court?
A rough estimate shows that it’s not even half of the usual amount, right?
But Emperor Wu still acted as if this was normal, so they didn't dare to ask too many questions. They could only use their own connections to investigate after leaving the court.

Soon, they got the results.

"You mean, these people were questioned at home? By whom? Who had the guts to do that?"

"Who are you talking about? Su Bai? Wanmin Court? What does this have to do with anything? Is Su Bai crazy?"

"Wait a minute, these people...seem to have impeached Su Bai the day before yesterday?"

For a while.

The news about Su Bai and Wanmin Court spread widely, and everyone in the Daxia court was worried, fearing that they would be the next person Su Bai would target.

Don’t say such nonsense as Su Bai doesn’t dare to say that.

Su Bai arrested so many people yesterday, many of whom were important officials in the court. There was nothing he wouldn't dare to do!

He really dares to be so arrogant!
For a moment, everyone present became afraid of Su Bai, fearing that Su Bai would bring people into their homes the next moment.

And at the same time Su Bai was taking action.

Jun Chaoxi is also punishing evil and promoting good.

Or…

She added a new glorious chapter to her career resume as a thug.

After all, Su Bai had too many people to capture, and many of them were powerful and had many good guards.

It was quite difficult for the Pacification Division alone to complete such a large workload, so it was naturally time for Jun Chaoxi to take action.

In just one day, Jun Chaoxi arrested several corrupt officials.

Seeing these corrupt officials who usually disregarded human lives and committed almost all kinds of evil being captured and taken away one by one, Jun Chaoxi couldn't help but smile and felt very happy.

As a righteous fairy, she was naturally happy to do such a good thing.

But just when she was feeling proud and satisfied, something unexpected happened, which upset her mood.

The sound of the empty valley is transmitted, and the master is held accountable!
Listening to the message that his master had specially conveyed to him, the blame in it made Jun Chaoxi feel a little aggrieved.

More than that.

Shangqing Xuanguan even assigned her a supervisor.

"Senior Sister, I have been ordered to supervise you to complete the task."

Standing in front of Jun Chaoxi, Tang Fan changed his previous fierce appearance and became much more assertive.

Now that he has received the order from his master, he must take advantage of the power of his master.
"Senior Sister, you have been slacking off recently."

"Should I ask you to remind me what my real purpose is in coming down the mountain?"

Leaning forward slightly, Tang Fan successfully gave Jun Zhaoxi a sense of oppression.

"Senior Sister's mission is to assassinate the Martial Emperor, not to become a tool of that evil villain Su Bai!"

In this regard.

Jun Zhaoxi bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, then chose to make a small excuse.
"How could the Emperor Wu be so easy to assassinate? It's difficult for me to even get close to him, let alone assassinate him."

"What I am doing now is to get closer to the Martial Emperor by controlling Su Bai."

"But even if she can control Su Bai, a close minister to the Emperor Wu, Senior Sister's progress is too slow."

Tang Fan interrupted Jun Chaoxi without mercy.

But then.

Without waiting for Jun Chaoxi to continue to explain, Tang Fan changed the subject.
"However, there is no need for Senior Sister to worry about this matter."

As he spoke, Tang Fan took out a talisman and placed it in front of Jun Zhaoxi.

"The abbot sensed Senior Sister's slow progress, so he bestowed upon her the Puppet Talisman."

"This talisman can devour the mind, turning the opponent into a puppet that obeys your orders."

While talking.

Tang Fan hesitated for a moment, but still placed the talisman on the table in front of him, and then pushed it in front of Jun Zhaoxi.
"Senior Sister, this thing is very precious. You must use it well."

"I believe you will not disappoint the Master's expectations, right?"

Looking at the talisman in front of him, Jun Chaoxi bit his lip tightly, caught in a dilemma.

Or, he could choose to stand on Su Bai's side and disobey his master's orders.

But my master has trained me for so long and has been very kind to me. How can I betray him like this?
Otherwise, she could only obey her master, betray Su Bai, and use this talisman on Su Bai.

However, Su Bai has proved to her during this period that Emperor Wu is innocent and the real murderer is someone else. Since this is the case, Su Bai is also innocent. Controlling Su Bai or assassinating Emperor Wu is all nonsense.

She wanted to kill the real murderer, not the innocent person who was framed.

the most important is.

Su Bai has been working hard for the people these days. Even if he has his own purposes, it cannot be denied that Su Bai has indeed done good things for the people.

A gentleman is judged by deeds rather than by his heart. Su Bai is such a good man.

Treating a good man this way...

How could she do it?
This goes against the path I'm pursuing!

Jun Chaoxi blinked, a subtle feeling lingering in his heart.

Do you always feel like you are on the evil side?
Such thoughts made her feel a little confused for a moment, and she even had some doubts about the sect she grew up in.

Is Master really right?
And how should I choose?

Looking at the talisman in front of him, Jun Chaoxi remained motionless for a long time, falling into deep confusion.
