Chapter 170 Chance Encounter
Chapter 170 Chance Encounter
No matter what, Xie Changyun is still the third young master of the Xie family, and the one with the best chance of inheriting the position of head of the Xie family!
He was subjected to torture by Su Luo that was worse than death, which shattered his dignity and bottom line, and that's why he submitted to Su Luo. He hasn't returned to the Xie family since...
However, every time he wrote to the Xie family, he would still say that everything was fine in Yunhai Town.
Under these circumstances, the Xie family would certainly not think that Xie Changyun had a problem, and the Su family would be even less likely to know that Yunhai Town had already fallen!
It could even be said that it has been completely taken over by Su Luo...
Therefore, in everyone's mind, Yunhai Town is still under the control of the Xie family and is an extremely safe area!
Even if someone knew that Su Luo had rebelled, they wouldn't guess that Xie Changyun was in cahoots with him...
They would never have guessed that Su Luo had placed all his wives in the mayor's mansion in Yunhai Town.
Upon hearing this suggestion, even Si Mingyu murmured, "The Mayor's Office of Yunhai Town..."
"This really is an incredibly safe place!"
She immediately agreed, and after giving a few more instructions, Su Luo rode away.
This time, he left alone, and his destination was none other than Wan Hai City.
Initially, Su Luo actually wanted to go to Shuiyun Town to take charge of the overall situation.
However, after the Xue Qianren incident, he realized that his situation had stabilized!
However, he still couldn't allow others, especially the Xue and Mo families, to shift their attention to him...
After all, these two families wield immense power, and their clans are filled with talented individuals.
If they were to draw their attention to Su Luo, they would inevitably turn against him.
Moreover, the force they could mobilize was far beyond Su Luo's imagination.
If Xue Qianren alone can lead a thousand men, then what if it were the entire Xue family's power to overthrow them?!
So, it could be tens of thousands of soldiers!
It should be noted that the Xue family wields immense power in the capital, commanding a considerable number of troops!
If Su Luo's rebellion is discovered, the Xue family will definitely take action against him... After all, quite a few members of the Xue family have died at Su Luo's hands!
From Xue Baifeng and Xue Baichen to Xue Qianren... if Su Luo hadn't died, where would the Xue family's reputation have been?!
Therefore, if the Xue family learns of Su Luo's rebellion, many things will become connected, and they will take action against Su Luo!
As for the Mo family, they are Si Mingyu's enemies, and also the enemies that Su Luo will definitely have to deal with in the future!
However, for now, Ye Changfeng is still involved...
A snowfall could halt the Mo family's military operations for a period of time, and with the addition of the refined steel, Su Luo estimated that he could give himself a month!
In just one month, if they can develop a musket...
Then, Su Luo has the confidence to decide the fate of the world!
During this month, Su Luo's task is to keep the Xue family preoccupied with their own problems!
Wanhai City is a key location for the Xue family to exploit the people. If Su Luo could make Wanhai City even more chaotic...
Therefore, the Xue family naturally had no time to care about Su Luo and his Xiaoyun Village!
With a thought flashing through his mind, Su Luo had already stepped onto the official road!
Wanhai City is close to the shore, quite a distance from Feiyun City. Even traveling day and night, it would take Su Luo a day and a half!
That night, he didn't rush on his way, since traveling late at night was a big no-no and could easily lead to an accident.
Su Luo wasn't a superstitious person, but he knew very well that the Great Xia Dynasty was teeming with untamed beasts...
If you're not careful, a tiger might come down from the mountain and bite you while you're on the official road.
That's not an easy opponent to deal with.
Although Su Luo wanted to get to Wan Hai City as soon as possible, he didn't mind spending a little more time, so he simply stayed at a local inn.
Around midnight, the night watchman's drum sounded several times outside, and Su Luo suddenly opened her eyes.
From the room next to his, there came the sounds of struggling and rustling.
Immediately following was a furious curse that pierced through the wall: "You shameless woman, how dare you disobey me?!"
"I spent so much money to buy you back so you could serve me, and you dare to refuse? I refuse to believe that I can't even discipline a lowly woman like you!"
Immediately following was the sound of sobbing; it belonged to a woman, and her voice contained the words "Ye family"...
The man's laughter rang out, "What Ye family or Zhu family? You're all part of my family!"
"I've given all my money to your old mother, so don't give me any more advice. Just serve me well, and if you give me a big, healthy son, you won't have to entertain clients anymore..."
Su Luo frowned. Although he knew that the Great Xia Holy Dynasty was in chaos, he hadn't expected it to be this chaotic!
After hesitating for a moment, Su Luo got up and knocked on the door of the room next door.
The struggling and cursing in the room stopped abruptly, and then Su Luo heard the word "save," after which silence returned.
The annoyed voice of the man who had just been cursing came back, "Who is it? Everyone should sleep. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business..."
Su Luo remained silent.
A moment later, sounds came from inside the room again.
"You son of a bitch, you little slut! I told you not to struggle, just you wait and see, you've attracted others here!"
"Heh, you think someone's coming to save you?!"
"Let me tell you, even if someone comes, I will..."
boom!
At this moment, Su Luo couldn't listen anymore and pushed the door open.
Inside was a middle-aged man who reeked of a foul stench and seemed to have never bathed since birth, cornering a young girl.
The girl was covered in filth, but her features were delicate. Her mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth, her hands were bound, and her feet were tied with straw rope...
However, the straw rope had clearly broken free!
Upon seeing Su Luo push open the door, the girl immediately panicked, whimpering as if she wanted Su Luo to save her!
Su Luo's gaze fell on a small token in the girl's palm.
That token... was almost exactly the same as Ye Changfeng's token!
The direct descendants of the Ye family!
How did things get to this point?!
Su Luo was somewhat surprised, but at that moment, the middle-aged man reacted and became extremely angry: "Who are you?!"
"How dare you ruin my plans? Are you looking for death?!"
As he spoke, he slapped Su Luo across the face, his expression ferocious: "I told you not to meddle in other people's business..."
"You're not going to listen, are you? If you don't listen, I'll take your dog's life!"
However, before his words could even finish, Su Luo had already made a sudden move, his arm shooting out like lightning...
They directly clamped down on the middle-aged man's wrist!
The middle-aged man's face contorted in pain, his eyes widened, and cold sweat poured down his face: "It hurts...it hurts...let go, let go..."
"Please, I beg you, let go!"
