Of course, they immediately started their return journey.
Of course, he did not bring the army back to the city!
According to the regulations of Xu's own management system, princes and generals like Xu Sheng could only bring a part of their personal guards back to the capital at this time.
However, most of the troops will continue to remain on the border.
After all, no one knows whether other warlords will take the opportunity to attack.
In short, Xu Sheng set off with his own thousand soldiers.
However, what Xu Sheng didn't expect was that he had only set out for one day!
Suddenly, during a break that evening, one of Xu Sheng's personal guards came up to him and knelt down.
"Deputy General Li, what are you doing?" Xu Sheng couldn't help but frown.
"Fourteenth Young Master, please be careful on this return trip!"
Lieutenant General Li knelt down and said, "Someone might attack you gentlemen."
He did not stand up.
"Oh, why is that?" Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Afterwards, Adjutant Li explained that it was because the eldest son Xu Longtao made a serious mistake in this battle!
Many Xu family generals and ministers were actually very dissatisfied and were planning to replace Xu Longtao with Xu Huateng!
Now Xu Huateng is seriously ill. Although he is not unconscious yet, Xu Huateng must make a quick decision on this matter.
The person most likely to become the young marshal after Xu Longtao is Xu Sheng.
"So you were also sent by someone to kill me?"
Xu Sheng continued, "Or maybe it's because I chose you as my deputy general, so the people behind you came to you and asked you to kill me? Let me think about it, I have the reputation of being the strongest in the world in martial arts, so I certainly can't let you assassinate me with force, you should want to poison me, right? So why don't you do it?"
Adjutant Li further explained that the reason for this was that he believed that "the Fourteenth Young Master should be a wise leader."
The combat power of the Chu army this time was actually very fierce. If it weren't for the contribution made by Xu Sheng, the Xu family would probably not have been able to fare so well.
In addition, during this period of time, he followed Xu Sheng and watched everything Xu Sheng did.
Already impressed by Xu Sheng.
If Xu Sheng died in the internal power struggle, it would definitely be a loss for the Xu family.
So after much hesitation, he made his current decision.
"Oh, my personality charm is so strong that I can emit a kingly and domineering aura, which directly shocked you?"
Xu Sheng said with a slight smile.
Of course Xu Sheng is not so naive.
He knew that what Adjutant Li said was indeed partly true.
Another reason may be that Xu Sheng was too cautious.
Everything you eat is tested for poison.
Therefore, Adjutant Li actually had no chance to take action at all.
After weighing the pros and cons, Adjutant Li felt that joining Xu Sheng at this moment was the wisest decision.
Although confessing this to Xu Sheng meant that he betrayed the person behind the scenes.
Moreover, Xu Sheng was not sure whether Adjutant Li's frankness to him now was also an act to gain Xu Sheng's trust.
Therefore, Xu Sheng would definitely move him away from the close position.
Of course, Adjutant Li also said that he felt from the bottom of his heart that Xu Sheng should be the next commander-in-chief of the Xu family!
This is the best thing for the Xu family!
Moreover, there is no loyalty between him and the people behind him!
Because he is loyal to Marshal Xu Huateng!
But since that noble man had come to him and asked for such a thing, he didn't dare to refuse!
Because the nobleman wanted to take action against Xu Sheng, he already knew about this!
If he refuses, it may mean his doom!
So at that time he could only agree to it.
"I know that if I tell you this tonight, I may no longer have your trust! You may even immediately remove me from your personal guard."
Afterwards, Li kowtowed and said, "But this humble official has no other choice! I only hope that in the future, after you, the Fourteenth Young Master, succeed to the throne and all the civil unrest has subsided, you can have mercy on this humble official and re-employ him! Give this humble official an ordinary position and continue to serve the Xu family!"
Xu Sheng stood by the window, looking at the moon in the sky, and was silent for a while.
"Who is the person who wants to attack me?"
Adjutant Li was silent for a few breaths.
Hesitated for a moment.
When Xu Sheng looked at him.
"Madam!" Adjutant Li bowed his head deeply and never looked up again.
"What? Madam?" Xu Sheng was surprised.
He didn't expect that it was Jing who attacked him!
You must know that Jing's son Xu Longtao, the current young marshal, has made big mistakes one after another.
Even if Xu Sheng died.
Xu Longtao will definitely be taken down this time.
Of course at this time, Xu Sheng thought of the fact that Xu Longtao had a son, who was relatively valued by Xu Huateng.
Then he understood Jing's plan.
"Besides poisoning, does she have any other plans against me?" Xu Sheng was silent for a moment, then asked Adjutant Li.
"Fourteenth Young Master, you are a martial arts master. Unless you are poisoned by your trusted followers, it will be difficult to kill you with secular power."
Lieutenant Li looked up and said, "Of course I also know that if someone like me fails to poison you, the Madam still has one last resort, which is to ask a cultivator to take action!"
"What? A cultivator?"
Xu Sheng was surprised: "You mean, she actually knows a cultivator? And can she ask him to kill me?"
"good."
Adjutant Li said, "As far as I know, in the early years, the Madam seemed to have accidentally saved a cultivator! It seems that this cultivator has strong magical powers! The Madam respects him as a master! And because this cultivator is very old and has failed to achieve immortality, he may be willing to sacrifice his life to repay her kindness and kill the young master!"
"I see!"
Xu Sheng nodded and asked again: "It seems that my return trip is really full of dangers. What is the name of that cultivator? Is he a monk or a Taoist priest? Or a casual cultivator?"
But Adjutant Li said he didn't know either.
What he just said was guessed from the fragmentary words of his three concubines.
"What?"
Xu Sheng was surprised again: "Your three wives?"
"She is not my wife!"
Adjutant Li explained: "And my three concubines!"
It turned out that this was someone that the eldest lady had placed in his home!
This is also part of the plan to deal with Xu Sheng.
Specifically, on the way back, when they passed by the city where Adjutant Li's home was, they found an excuse to ask the three wives to come and see Adjutant Li.
Pick up Xu Sheng at the airport!
The three wives of Adjutant Li are triplets!
The three of them are not very old, but they are all practitioners!
It is said that this girl was raised by a girl with spiritual roots who was found by the gentleman who was saved by the eldest lady back then!
Moreover, they seem to have the so-called top-grade spiritual roots!
Their practice is not for immortality!
They are being trained to be used to assassinate others one day.
But now I plan to use it on Xu Sheng!
"Those triplets you married last time were actually hidden hands?"
Xu Sheng was also surprised when he heard this, and sighed: "Superior spiritual roots? I didn't expect that she was so far-sighted and had been thinking about dealing with me since then! She even arranged such a method and was not ready to attack until now!"
These triplets were married to Adjutant Li in the previous six months.
Xu Sheng also attended Adjutant Li's wedding at that time.
The triplets were said to be extremely beautiful, with fair skin and tender legs.
At that time, Xu Sheng could never have imagined that this was the work of the eldest lady!
But why didn't the first lady just give the triplets to him at that time? Xu Sheng wondered.
But he thought that maybe he was too vigilant at that time. The female killer with spiritual roots sent by Hu Xinfeng was imprisoned by Xu Sheng like a canary for half a year. In the end, she was not able to hurt Xu Sheng at all. Instead, she gave birth to children for Xu Sheng in vain.
So the eldest lady wanted to find another way.
At that time, Lieutenant Li was already Xu Sheng's confidant! As long as you get close to Lieutenant Li, there is a great possibility that you can get close to Xu Sheng.
Of course, Adjutant Li's marriages with these three wives were just fake.
"The three of them are not interested in men!"
Adjutant Li said: "On weekdays, I can only be respectful to these three people."
Two days passed in a flash.
Xu Sheng brought with him Adjutant Li, the little Taoist nun, 'Little Miss You' and a thousand soldiers.
Arrived at Adjutant Li's house!
Met his triplet wives!
Because with Xu Sheng's current martial arts skills, plus the little Taoist nun's Taoism.
Xu Sheng didn't think these three people could kill him.
It was already evening when they arrived that day. Xu Sheng and his group pretended that it was late and needed to rest, so they went to Adjutant Li's house.
"My concubine greets the Fourteenth Young Master!" Sure enough, the beautiful triplets appeared.
Each of them was probably only about eighteen or nineteen years old.
Although she is innocent, she has a young woman's hairstyle at the moment!
He bowed to Xu Sheng respectfully.
"Three sisters-in-law, you're welcome!"
Xu Sheng looked at them and said, "When you married Lieutenant Li, I was your witness! But you have been married for so long, why are you still not pregnant? Lieutenant Li's other wives and concubines have given birth to many children. Aren't you afraid that your status will be unstable when you get old?"
Hearing Xu Sheng say this, the triplet sisters looked at each other and their faces changed slightly.
"Fourteenth Master, you are joking!"
Then the eldest sister said, "We are pregnant, what can we do? We just got married into the mansion and our husband went to the battlefield! When the others were still in the mansion, there were other sisters who wanted to be favored. We were not favored, and we felt sad!"
The other two also echoed a few words.
"Not favored, right?"
Xu Sheng said: "The three sisters-in-law are so gorgeous. Look at their breasts, their long legs, and their little faces. They look so alike. They are simply rare beauties in the world! I wonder how many people envied Lieutenant Li at the time!"
"Fourteenth Young Master, you are being reckless!"
Of course, the second sister's face suddenly changed, and she said with a chaste and heroic look: "How can you look at us like this?"
"Sir, we are Adjutant Li's legally married wives!"
The youngest sister also said: "Aren't you afraid that it will spread and damage your reputation?"
"Why not?"
Xu Sheng spread his hands and said, "Anyway, Adjutant Li has already given you to me! All three of you can sleep with me tonight!"
"What?" The three sisters were shocked and turned to look at Lieutenant Li next to Xu Sheng: "The three of us, to sleep with you?"
Of course they looked at each other afterwards.
They probably thought this was a plan arranged by Adjutant Li to give them a chance to escape.
"Since, since our husband has arranged this!" Then the sisters said with a look of grievance: "Of course we can only obey!"
"We only hope that our husband won't dislike us afterwards!" The youngest sister looked pitiful.
"We also ask the Fourteenth Young Master to have mercy on us and be gentle tonight!" The second sister's eyes were moist.
The acting is very good.
"Okay, since you all agree!"
Xu Sheng nodded, and then said: "Then you will be my women from now on! Give birth to my children, and I won't be too cruel to you!"
As he spoke, Xu Sheng suddenly attacked.
Throw out a powerful punch.
The inner strength of the Half-Step Martial Saint lingered on his fist.
"Bang!" The eldest sister of the triplets was knocked flying, spurting blood from her mouth.
"Boom!" At the same time, the little Taoist nun also took action, and she threw out two magic seals.
He directly knocked the second sister and the third sister flying.
Soon the three sisters were lying on the ground groaning in a mess.
At the same time, the nun's copper bowl flew up and hung over their heads.
The golden light burst out and directly suppressed them.
And indeed, magical powers emerged from them.
There he resisted the golden light of the little nun!
"impossible!"
"What is this! How can he be so strong as a warrior?"
"How come this little nun's magic power is so strong?"
The three sisters' faces changed drastically.
They were already seriously injured and couldn't hold on for a few seconds.
In a few minutes they were all tied up.
"If I had known earlier, I would have asked you, Fairy, to help me take them all down."
Xu Sheng said to the little nun: "I think I was a little too rough just now!"
Indeed, Xu Sheng's punch was a physical blow, and it seemed very rough.
After all, these three women will have to stay and have children.
Being injured like this doesn't seem very good.
The other two nuns were much better at handling the situation and also captured them, but did not cause any serious damage to their bodies.
"I have imprisoned the magic power of these three people!"
The little nun just said: "Nothing, I'm going back to practice!"
Then he turned and left.
"Mr. Li, you betrayed the madam!" In fact, the three sisters were also there scolding Adjutant Li.
Obviously they didn't expect it.
"No way, the Fourteenth Young Master is the wise leader!"
Lieutenant Li sighed, "I am also thinking about the overall interests of the Xu family! And I can't say I'm betraying you. I have always been loyal to the Marshal!"
After that, no matter what the three women did, Adjutant Li said nothing more.
"We, Li, are your legally married wives, and you handed the three of us over to Xu Longsheng! Are you still a man?"
"You jerk!"
"You green hat! You're going to wear three big green hats. Are you happy about that? You're so disgusting!"
However, the verbal offensive of these three sisters is really extraordinary.
"You three are not my real wives!"
Of course, Lieutenant Li sneered: "Although I married her, have you three ever been nice to me? You use the eldest lady to pressure me every day!"
Without waiting for Xu Sheng to say anything, he said to Xu Sheng: "Fourteenth Master, you can deal with these three girls as you wish! No need to worry about me!"
"good!"
Xu Sheng nodded: "You should be transferred away from me first! After the internal turmoil of the Xu family is quelled, I will re-employ you depending on the situation!"
As for these three women, he would definitely take them back to have children!
After saying that, Xu Sheng walked over and patted the three women on the shoulders: "Since you dare to assassinate me, you should be prepared to become my reproductive tools for the rest of your life!"
“……” The triplets were speechless.
However, they had indeed heard a long time ago that Xu Sheng had an extraordinary obsession with women with spiritual roots.
They had indeed made some mental preparations to assassinate Xu Sheng.
I can only accept it.
Fortunately, it is said that the lives of those women with spiritual roots who had previously assassinated Xu Sheng are not too miserable now.
It's just that I lost my freedom, was trapped in the mansion, and kept giving birth to children.
“We failed!”
"We accept our fate!"
"I only ask for your mercy, sir!"
After that, the three of them really gave in.
"Don't worry!"
Xu Sheng said: "You three have top-grade spiritual roots. I had a hard time getting one before! Now you three have come to my door, I will definitely not be able to treat you badly!"
As he spoke, Xu Sheng touched the heads of the three of them.
Of course Xu Sheng didn’t sleep with them that night!
Again, be steady.
If the Madam had hidden some poison in the bodies of the three of them, and the final attack was the killing move, wouldn't Xu Sheng be dead?
So Xu Sheng is not in a hurry now.
These three people will also be captured and raised as canaries.
Besides, Xu Huateng is seriously ill now, and it is impossible for Xu Sheng to indulge in women here.
So after capturing the three of them, Xu Sheng continued his advance.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
Finally, Madam Jing's last resort appeared.
A white-haired old man appeared!
Use magic power to assassinate Xu Sheng.
This is the cultivator that Adjutant Li mentioned was saved by Madam Jing.
This person is very old now, and there is basically no possibility for him to succeed in attaining enlightenment!
So he did not hesitate to use up his magical powers, disguised himself as an old man, suddenly exploded, and fought frantically.
However, Xu Sheng did not take action personally that day.
He just stood there with his hands behind his back.
Because the little Taoist nun has already taken action.
This old man even exploded his magic power crazily!
She was no match for the little nun at all.
Finally, the little Taoist nun hit him in the chest with a magic seal.
His mouth was spitting out his internal organs and he was thrown out, falling to the ground like a rotten dog, with his hair disheveled and dying.
"I will fight to the death only when I am old!"
Finally, the old man said in confusion: "Why do you have such magical powers at such a young age? You obviously have infinite potential and hope to achieve enlightenment! Why are you willing to be driven by him, consume your magical powers, and kill me!"
Although the little nun has been with Xu Sheng and returned to the Xu family for quite a long time.
But in fact, she has never shown her holiness in public in front of others.
Therefore, no one knew that the little Taoist nun beside Xu Sheng was so powerful.
At this moment, all of Xu Sheng's personal soldiers were stunned.
I didn’t expect that this beautiful little Taoist nun, who seemed like a weak girl following Xu Sheng like a maid, was actually so strong!
Although the little Taoist nun followed Xu Sheng on the battlefield, she did not take many actions. She was just like a maid with some good martial arts skills throughout the whole process.
But this battle shocked everyone!
Especially when the little Taoist nun used her magic power just now, her clothes fluttered, her figure was graceful, and her gaze was full of extraordinary aura.
It really feels like a fairy has descended to earth.
Naturally, the young nun would not tell the old man that Xu Sheng had an extremely yang body.
She just retreated back to Xu Sheng's side.
The reason why Xu Sheng asked the little Taoist nun to take action instead of letting his personal guards surround and kill the old man was that
Because the old man's attack came a little suddenly, and the old man was indeed quite crazy, and the young Taoist nun said that she was completely confident that she could deal with him.
Xu Sheng did not let his personal guards take action.
After all, these thousands of personal guards had managed to survive the battlefield with great difficulty.
They will definitely be able to deplete the old man's magic power by dealing with him, but there will also be a lot of casualties.
Now this is a happy ending.
It’s just that the little nun consumes more mana.
The little nun had already used some of her magic power to deal with the twins before.
But because she didn't use much, she didn't absorb Xu Sheng's yang energy to make up for it.
Now she has killed the old man.
This is a good opportunity for Xu Sheng to replenish his yang energy, so it is not wasted.
Then Xu Sheng didn't waste any more words.
Just throw the knife out.
It hit the old man's forehead.
In short, the old man's assassination attempt was unsuccessful.
Then Xu Sheng continued on his journey.
That night they had dinner at a restaurant in the city. In the private room, Xu Sheng asked everyone to leave, and then he helped the little nun recover her magic power.
Then we continued our journey.
Three more days later.
Xu Sheng returned to the capital.
Sure enough, although Xu Huateng was not about to die, he was seriously ill and very weak.
Afterwards, Xu Huateng directly announced that Xu Longtao had stepped down as young commander!
Xu Sheng succeeded him as the young commander.
After all, Xu Sheng's contribution in this war is obvious to all.
No one in the Xu family had any objections.
Everyone was convinced.
And Xu Huateng had already known that Jing had sent someone to assassinate Xu Sheng.
But due to their friendship over the years, Xu Huateng certainly did not kill Jing.
Jing was moved into a nunnery, where she was required to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, and was not allowed to leave the nunnery.
The Marshal's Mansion is managed by Liu Fangfang!
After so many years, Liu Fangfang became the most honorable woman in this mansion.
Liu Fangfang herself was also stunned.
Because she had no idea what was going on behind the scenes.
She just ate, drank and educated her children in the mansion, and then the pie fell from the sky.
The so-called winning without any effort.
On this day, Xu Sheng came to the nunnery to see Jing.
Unexpectedly, Liu Fangfang also came to see Jing, and Xu Longtao was also here.
The four of them looked at each other in silence.
"Fourteenth brother, I didn't mean to attack you!"
Xu Longtao sighed secretly: "You are the young commander, so it's only natural."
Xu Sheng also saved him on the battlefield and prevented the defeat of the Xu family.
He was indeed grateful to Xu Sheng for preventing his mistake from causing a greater disaster.
Jing was holding a string of Buddhist beads and wearing a nun's outfit, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue. She looked at Xu Sheng and said with emotion: "Your elder brother still lost to you after all. I should have known it earlier!"
"Sister." Liu Fangfang said.
"Liu Fangfang, you have a good son!" But Jing interrupted what Liu Fangfang was about to say and just said, "I didn't expect that you won in the end!"
"Mother." Xu Longtao wanted to say something.
"Waste! Get out!" Jing scolded coldly.
Xu Longtao's face turned pale, he froze in place, opened his mouth, and was filled with guilt but unable to speak.
Xu Sheng also opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say something, but now he suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Xu Longsheng, don't be so proud! What do you have to be so proud of? You clearly didn't want to be the young commander back then, so why are you coming back to fight for it now? It's you who made things come to this point! It's you who forced me into this!"
But unexpectedly, Jing said again: "Besides, governing the world is not that easy! You may not be able to do well what my son Xu Longtao can't do well!"
"..."Xu Sheng was stunned.
He had not expected that Jing, who was generous, well-educated, kind and gentle to him since childhood, and who handled everything in the rear house of the Marshal's Mansion in a way that convinced everyone, would actually have such a side to her now.
"It's really not easy to govern the world, and I don't know if I can do better than my big brother!"
Finally, Xu Sheng sighed and said, "But I will try my best, so please take care of yourself and live well, and then you will see how the Xu Group will be run in my hands!"
