Chapter 56 Chapter 56 If you are really angry, you can beat me tomorrow...

After the group escaped from danger and expressed their gratitude solemnly, a group of people who had been hiding in the dark and had just come out to help kill the wolf looked at each other, leaped a few times, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Qi Ge'er, who had not closed his eyes obediently, stared at the direction they disappeared for a long time.

Su Guanzhang touched his head.

Qi Ge'er raised his head and gave his uncle a very forced smile.

"You should have gone to the battlefield with your father this year to experience the cruelty of war," Su Guanzhang whispered to his nephew. "The werewolf fight just now wasn't much different from a real battlefield."

Of course, what he said was only the battlefield that every child of the Su family who was eight years old or older, regardless of gender, had to experience with their own eyes. It was the kind of battlefield that the elders felt was the maximum that a child could endure after evaluation.

This situation usually occurs when the two armies are in a stalemate. The two armies are testing each other but will not engage in real fierce fighting, and the casualties are within a controllable range.

Qi Ge'er seemed to be thinking about something, and soon nodded heavily at Su Guanzhang.

His face was still a little pale, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. The little child seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant.

"In the future, I will become the same person as you." Determination appeared on his still young face.

Xu Yu Niang leaned over and hugged her eldest son, silently expressing her support.

Su Yuqi is the eldest grandson of this generation, and his younger brothers and sisters are still young. He will be the one to support the entire Su Guogong Mansion in the future, so he must learn to grow up as soon as possible.

So, when she found out that he was staring intently at the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, she did not say anything to stop him. Instead, she felt distressed but also relieved that he had such courage and determination.

That day, they still couldn't get out of the grassland.

The battle between humans and wolves during the day caused them to lose a lot of men and horses.

Eight of Chen Yang's men from the Ministry of War were killed, twenty were seriously injured, and almost all the rest were slightly injured.

Thirteen of Wang Hu's men from the imperial guards were killed, twenty-five were seriously injured, and few of the remaining ones had intact skin and flesh.

At this point, the contrast between the two teams is very obvious.

The rest and cleanup during the day made these people very tired; but there was still some excitement left in their minds after the fierce battle, and even their heads began to ache slightly.

Wang Hu turned over and sat up, took out a pen and paper, and began to record without saying a word.

The brothers who had been assigned to the same tent with him in the past were either dead or injured. Now the tent was empty with only him there, and he really couldn't sleep.

And today, he clearly felt the difference between those who had been to the battlefield and those who had not experienced war.

Let’s not talk about the Su family, just compare them with Chen Yang from the Ministry of War and his subordinates.

When they set out, thirty-five people came from the Ministry of War and fifty people from the Imperial Guards. He quickly counted the casualties of last night and today.

The number of people who survived: 25 officers and soldiers from the Ministry of War, and 24 guards from the Imperial Guard.

Among them, although they were injured, their limbs were intact: there were 21 officers and soldiers of the Ministry of War and 19 guards of the Imperial Guard.

Wang Hu put down his pen and stared at the numbers on the paper for a long time, until someone knocked on the railing outside the tent that served as a doorbell.

The person who came was Chen Yang.

"The casualties are heavy..." Chen Yang saw the paper Wang Hu had written down when he sat down, and quickly looked away. "It will be even more difficult for our people from now on. What do you think?"

He lowered his voice.

Wang Hu's heart was still washed over by the various turbulent and complex emotions of the day, and his mind was still filled with the sets of comparative data he had just recorded. For a moment, he was unable to understand what Chen Yang was referring to.

"What do you think?" he asked.

Chen Yang knew that he didn't understand what he said.

“We don’t have many people left.”

Chen Yang simply said bluntly, "Today you have also witnessed the strength of several generals of the Su family. Frankly speaking, even if all our people are still alive and well and uninjured, I am afraid that they will not be a match for us."

He was not exaggerating.

They walked from Shengjing City to the present-day prairie, and during this time, they lived and ate with the Su family day and night for several months. However, it was not until today's battle between humans and wolves that they saw their true strength.

Chen Yang knew the reputation of the Su family's generals in Mobei. He heard that they were invincible and led the Su family army to victory.

But he didn't expect that the gap between them could be as huge as a chasm.

"We can't suppress them anymore." Chen Yang sighed.

He pressed his hands against his temples, where they ached slightly, a lingering pain from today's fierce battle. "Most of the eyes in the dark have appeared today, but we can't tell who they belong to."

The forces were too diverse and numerous, and after seeing them escape danger, those people left so quickly and efficiently without any delay, so he couldn't see anything.

However, he believed that among the first ten or so people who came to help, there must be people from the Xuan family and the Lin family.

And the rest of them...

Although they also helped today, he felt that if the guards of the Xuan family and the Lin family had not taken the initiative, those people might really have watched them all die here without showing up.

"The wolves' arrival was very strange," Chen Yang and Wang Hu analyzed. "The road may not be safe in the future, so we have to be more careful."

He spoke in just a few words, but they were all about different things. Wang Hu was a little confused for a moment.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and cleared all the excited emotions in his mind. It took him a while to fully understand Chen Yang's overly jumpy words.

"Are you worried that they will attack them again?" he asked bluntly.

The two "they" referred to different people, and he believed Chen Yang could understand. After all, this was the underlying meaning of Chen Yang's last two sentences.

What Chen Yang said was too strange, and Wang Hu directly defined the matter.

This also reflects the different styles of doing things between the Ministry of War and the Imperial Guards.

Chen Yang raised his eyes and looked at him.

…

Finally, Chen Yang finally brought up what he wanted to say the most. "This matter today will definitely reach His Majesty's ears. You and I must prepare early."

Wang Hu's brows, which had just relaxed, suddenly sank.

As the night deepened, the candles in the tent gradually went out, leaving only torches in eight directions outside the tent and a fire in front of the night watchman.

The chirping of insects and croaking of frogs are still lively tonight, and the fire in front of the night watchman occasionally makes a crackling sound, which at least prevents people from getting trapped in this vast grassland and losing themselves.

During the night watchman's shift change, two figures quickly entered Xuan Wensheng's tent without attracting anyone's attention.

"Did someone really deliberately lead the wolves to attack us?" Xuan Wensheng didn't say anything, only moving his lips.

The secret guard nodded and handed over the paper densely written on.

Xuan Wensheng took it, read it quickly, and put it in his arms.

"I understand." He said silently.

The figure quickly rushed out of his tent again.

Not long after, the curtain of his tent moved again.

Xuan Wensheng vigilantly picked up the dagger for self-defense, lifted a corner of the door curtain, and when he saw it was Su Guanyu, he turned sideways to let him in.

"Did anyone come here just now?" Su Guanyu asked in a low voice.

Xuan Wensheng was surprised, "You know?"

The Xuan and Lin family secret guards who followed them all the way were all masters picked from thousands of miles away, with superb internal strength and lightness skills. He thought that no one knew about what had just happened.

They didn't even speak.

Moreover, his tent had been specially treated, and even the candlelight could not leave any trace of any person or object on it, so it should be impossible to tell from the outside that there were any extra people inside.

Su Guanyu just smiled and said, "My father and brothers also know about this. I was just afraid of attracting the attention of the night watchmen, so I came here alone to avoid them."

Xuan Wensheng: "..."

How could he have alarmed so many people? He had thought that he was the only one who knew about the visitor tonight, and that he was planning to "scare" them tomorrow with the news he had just received.

But after just a moment's thought, he understood, "It seems your skills are still better than theirs."

Most people would say at this time, "I'd like to see it if I get the chance," but Xuan Wensheng is not an ordinary person. He just hopes that the day will never come when he sees it.

Xuan Jinyu was born with a keen intuition, but he was not.

He always thinks of danger in times of peace. If there is a one in ten thousand risk, his first reaction is to avoid it rather than face it head-on.

After he passed the imperial examination, he resolutely plunged into the business world despite the obstruction of his clansmen who were unaware of the truth. This was because of his instinct to avoid harm.

Of course, escorting Xuan Jinyu south is not included in this scope.

"Come and take a look at this." Xuan Wensheng took out the paper he had just stuffed into his arms and handed it to Su Guanyu.

He originally wanted to give this paper to his brother-in-law Su Guanzhang at an inconspicuous time tomorrow. Now that he has shown it to his elder brother first, the effect should be roughly the same, right?

Su Guanyu read ten lines at a glance and quickly handed the paper back to Xuan Wensheng.

"Just like what I thought, some people in Shengjing City are getting restless," he said.

Xuan Wensheng had already folded the paper and was about to put it in his arms when he paused, "He guessed it?"

Su Guanyu nodded, "He thought of it after the wolf attack last night."

Xuan Wensheng continued to stuff the paper into his arms and snorted.

I guessed it last night but didn't tell my third uncle. He didn't say a word to me the whole day!

Humph! He often speaks well of him in front of his sister, asking her to stop torturing him.

He should have just let his sister torture him.

Su Guanyu smiled, "Brother Xuan San, don't be angry. I didn't find a chance to tell you, so I came here."

We were attacked by wolves again this morning. The situation was too dangerous and chaotic, and it was not a good time to talk.

Afterwards, they were busy cleaning up the mess, and Su Guanzhang stayed by the side of the seriously injured soldiers to prevent one or two more of them from dying from their injuries. He had no time to mention this matter to Xuan Wensheng.

By the evening, the injuries of the wounded had finally stabilized, but Xuan Jinyu had a low fever again - she was really scared.

Pregnant women cannot take medicine easily. After a long time of tossing and turning, Xuan Jinyu's fever finally subsided.

Xuan Wensheng returned to the tent only after seeing that his sister was fine.

After thinking for a moment, Su Guanyu added: "If you are really angry, you can beat him up tomorrow."

Anyway, his younger brother is tough, and the third brother of the Xuan family doesn't know any martial arts at all, so punching Su Guanzhang is just like tickling him.

Su Guanyu was thinking.
