PDLP Chapter 157 Disgust for Stupidity
Chapter 157 Disgust for Stupidity
Han Yan nodded, bowed, and strode away!
His face was full of solemnity. He knew that this matter was of great importance, and he also knew that Su Luo's willingness to delegate authority to him was a sign of his respect for him, as well as a test!
Su Luo stood there, her mind racing with thoughts...
"The Xue family, Xue Qianren..."
Su Luo muttered to herself, "Could someone really be using themselves as bait?"
"If there were, they shouldn't be from the Xue family..."
Clearly, Su Luo had already guessed Xue Qianren's thoughts to some extent.
However, he found it hard to believe.
Even if a family like the Xue family can produce talented people, these talented people should have a high opinion of themselves. Why would they use them as bait?!
However, since the opponent had made a move, Su Luo had no choice but to accept it, no matter what.
"Han Yan..."
He muttered to himself, "Really, don't let me down."
……
The sky was clear and transparent, without a single cloud.
The weather was fine and not too hot, so a thousand soldiers rested on the spot without even needing shade.
Time passed quickly, and it was already midday.
"Third Master, everyone has rested well and we can set off immediately."
A lieutenant stepped forward.
Xue Qianren still looked sickly, flipping through a yellowed book.
The book looked very old, but if you looked closer, you would find that it was not a proper reading material...
It was a book about sexual activity, complete with a plot and illustrations, making readers blush.
But Xue Qianren seemed to be reading with great interest, without even looking up: "Now that we've rested, let's go."
The lieutenant hesitated for a moment before saying, "Third Master, we're approaching the Wolf Fang Mountain territory. Should we make some preparations..."
"According to what's coming from Yunhai Town and Feixia Town, Young Master Baifeng... disappeared here."
"It's very likely that the bandits from Langya Mountain are behind this."
"We're not trying to hide our purpose. If the thieves find out about our plan, they might just ambush us ahead..."
Upon hearing this, Xue Qianren took back the book in his hand with some surprise, and praised with a smile: "Deputy General Cheng, I didn't expect you to be so smart."
"You even know how to analyze things this much. If this were on the battlefield, you would definitely be an excellent commander..."
Deputy General Cheng scratched his head modestly, "No, Third Master, these were all just my wild guesses..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xue Qianren's face turned cold, and his voice deepened: "Since you knew this was just wishful thinking, why did you say it out loud?!"
"Is this meant to be a joke for me?!"
"If Xue Baifeng's death was the work of bandits, shouldn't our job be to suppress them?!"
"Our Xue family has a thousand elite soldiers, a full thousand! Can't we even handle a single bandit? Do we need to devise another plan?!"
Upon hearing this, Vice General Cheng's expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Third Master, please don't be offended. I just spoke without thinking..."
Xue Qianren said calmly, "Speechless? Are you the one who's speechless, or are you trying to teach me how to do things?!"
Upon hearing this, a look of terror immediately appeared in Deputy General Cheng's eyes.
"Third Master, I... I absolutely did not mean that..."
Xue Qianren chuckled and said, "Whether you mean it or not has nothing to do with what you say, it's what I hear that matters..."
“I said you have it, so you have it. Your surname is Cheng, right? From now on, you are no longer a deputy general.”
Lieutenant General Cheng almost burst into tears. Being demoted from a deputy general to an ordinary soldier was no different from dying once.
However, he dared not raise any objections, because he knew that once he did...
That means he might really die!
Sure enough, after he nodded silently, a smile appeared on Xue Qianren's face.
"Good, you've learned your lesson..."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Cheng almost burst into tears, thinking that Xue Qianren had some other intentions.
At this moment, Xue Qianren chuckled, "Don't worry, I just hate idiots, I'm not twisted yet..."
He glanced at the crowd around him.
The Xue family's elite soldiers all had their heads down, but they all looked trembling with fear.
Clearly, they had long been familiar with their unpredictable master.
They were now terrified that Xue Qianren would take his anger out on them.
Xue Qianren casually pointed and said to a young man, "You're the one. From now on, you'll be my deputy general. What's your surname?!"
The young man was overjoyed and pointed to himself: "Me? It really is me..."
Xue Qianren's lips twitched. "That's not you anymore, it's you..."
He then pointed to another person, who was overjoyed but dared not say anything and immediately accepted the order.
The young man's face immediately turned ashen, pale and colorless.
Xue Qianren didn't even glance at him. "I've already said I hate idiots. If I've given it to you, just accept it. You keep asking and confirming, which means you don't want it, doesn't it?"
As he spoke, he stretched and said, "Attack."
"No need to worry about Langya Mountain... However, in the area from Langya Mountain to Xiaoyun Village, we should travel in formation."
"Also, deploy two hundred people, ready to leave at any time, and they can take me with them."
Xue Qianren calmly said, "If someone ambushed us in the Langya Mountain area, it means either Su Luo is in league with bandits, or there is a mysterious force supporting Langya Mountain..."
"Hehe, the Great Xia is only so big, it's highly unlikely that there are so many mysterious forces there."
"If there is an ambush in the area from Langya Mountain to Xiaoyun Village, it means that Su Luo may have already taken control of Langya Mountain."
“If we are no match for them, those two hundred men can take me away in time, or they can leave on their own and send the message back to the Xue family… Su Luo, there’s something wrong.”
Xue Qianren's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "The purpose the family gave me was indeed to help my elder sister deal with that illegitimate son, Su Luo..."
"But I have only one goal, and that is to prove that my idea is correct."
“Su Luo is the real mastermind behind the rebellion in Linshui County…”
Xue Qianren's gaze turned icy as he muttered to himself, "So, how exactly does one rise from a lowly illegitimate child to become such a person..."
He took a small bag out of his pocket.
Upon opening it, I found it contained salt that looked like snowflakes.
"Snow in the Sky...what a beautiful name."
Xue Qianren exclaimed in admiration.
……
Meanwhile, Su Luo was gathering all the information he could and was deep in thought.
He looked at all the information at hand, lost in thought: "Xue Qianren, a free-spirited and sickly young master of the Xue family..."
"She is not of the same generation as Xue Baifeng and others, but due to her age, she calls Madam Xue 'elder sister'."
"In that case, it looks rather unruly..."
