Chapter 66 The Fearful Marquis of Sinan! Su Luo's Chance!
The residence of the Marquis of Sinan.
Su Changsheng hurriedly got off the carriage and went straight to his study to start writing a letter, without even changing his clothes.
"How arrogant and ostentatious!"
"It's too much!"
"The other party first swindled the Su family out of money on snowflake salt. This was definitely done on purpose because they saw I was in Yunhai Town..."
"Then, on my way back to the manor, they actually found an opportunity to kill a group of my personal guards and left behind a letter written in blood, deliberately provoking me!"
"Moreover, they even used Langya Mountain as an excuse to cut off all contact between Langya Mountain and me..."
"It's very likely they were wiped out!"
Su Changsheng was genuinely terrified, his eyes wide with shock.
"Such ostentatious behavior and arrogant actions clearly show that they don't take my Marquis Sinan's mansion seriously!"
Despite saying that, Su Changsheng couldn't feel angry; he was more afraid!
From the snowflake salt incident to the killing of his personal guards, and then to the destruction of Langya Mountain, the other party was so unscrupulous and not afraid of him at all!
This fearlessness, however, made Su Changsheng feel a chill run down his spine upon closer examination:
"Either this is an extremely powerful force deliberately trying to enrage me and find an opportunity to eliminate me..."
"Either they're a bunch of lunatics who would do anything to kill me if given the chance!"
"Whatever it is, it's coming for me!"
"When did I offend anyone?!"
"Or is it that those lowly people in the mines found out about my collusion with the Xie family and are trying to kill me?!"
Su Changsheng couldn't understand it, but he still felt terrified. It had happened twice already!
The other party has caused him trouble twice, and next time... they might be after his life!
Although he had the personal guards of the Marquis's mansion, all of whom were brave and skilled in battle, Tan Xing's death served as a warning to him!
Even the personal guards of the Marquis's mansion are not invincible!
"I wrote letters out, telling some close friends about this, asking them to investigate whether I had offended some powerful force that wanted to target me..."
Su Changsheng muttered to himself, "I shouldn't go out during this time either. I'll just stay home and not go anywhere!"
"To avoid any unforeseen circumstances!"
He felt a little relieved after thinking this through.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, which startled Su Changsheng so much that he dropped the paperweight on the table.
The voice of the First Madam of the Marquis's Mansion rang out from outside the door, "My Lord, what's wrong?"
"Are you OK?!"
Su Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm fine, Madam, please come in."
The First Madam of the Marquis's Mansion entered the mansion and frowned upon seeing Su Changsheng's flustered appearance.
She also became somewhat worried, "My lord, has something happened?"
Marquis Su Changsheng shook his head, "It's nothing, Madam, please don't worry..."
The First Madam of the Marquis's Mansion watched him quietly. Su Changsheng shrank back, but in the end, he told her everything.
"You mean, our Marquis of Sinan is being targeted?!"
Upon hearing this, the First Lady of the Marquis's Mansion was still somewhat shaken: "They even wiped out Wolf Fang Mountain?!"
"No wonder, no wonder..."
No wonder all the letters I sent to Langya Mountain asking them to deal with that bastard Su Luo ended in vain.
The First Lady of the Marquis's Mansion still thought that Su Luo had been playing dumb to take advantage of the situation and had dealt with everyone from Wolf Fang Mountain...
Now it seems there was more to the story!
This dispelled much of her unease, and she felt that Su Luo was lucky...
"Wait a moment!"
The First Lady of the Marquis's Mansion said, "My Lord, are you saying that the mysterious and powerful force may have destroyed Wolf Fang Mountain?"
"That's right, they killed more than ten of my personal guards and even tried to declare war on me in the name of Langya Mountain, trying to lure me into the mountains. They must have been planning to destroy Langya Mountain..."
Su Changsheng said, "If I really go, I'm afraid I'll lose my life!"
"However, my personal nanny went to Xiaoyun Village before and discovered... that bastard Su Luo... Su Luo, he has the head of the second leader of Langya Mountain!"
The First Lady of the Marquis's Mansion speculated, "Could it be that Su Luo has joined forces with that mysterious powerful force? Does Su Luo harbor a grudge against our Marquis's Mansion and want to deal with us?!"
"Sigh, I thought I had been good enough to Su Luo, but I never expected him to act like this. It's my fault as a mother..."
The First Lady of the Marquis's Mansion looked ashamed.
Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng immediately glared, "Su Luo? That bitch! How dare she?!"
"If he dares to join forces with outsiders to attack our Marquis's mansion, I'll take his dog's life right now!"
"Doesn't he know who gave birth to him? How dare he hold a grudge? You've been so good to him, Madam, what right does he have to hold a grudge?!"
"Hmph, I think he's just a born scoundrel..."
Su Changsheng ignored the contradiction in the words of the First Madam of the Marquis's Mansion and said directly, "In that case, I will have Xu Cheng go there in a few days!"
"If he really is colluding with outsiders, I'll have Xu Cheng arrest him and give him a good beating!"
“However, not now… Right now, I just took thirty people from Su Luo…”
"If I cause him any more trouble, it would make me, the Marquis of Sinan, seem harsh on my son... Heh, although this good-for-nothing is not worthy of being my son, but..."
Su Changsheng is a person who cares a lot about his reputation, and he knows that many people are watching his every word and action.
After all, the position of Marquis of Sinan is hereditary and perpetual, a highly lucrative post throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
This time, Su Luo also placed thirty bandit corpses next to the bodies of the Marquis's personal guards, disguising them as villagers...
In Si Nanhou's view, it was as if the Marquis's personal guards had asked Xiaoyun Village for thirty people, and then they were all sniped and killed on the road.
The First Lady of the Marquis's Mansion felt relieved and nodded: "My Lord, of course I understand!"
"I just feel a bit regretful. It's because I didn't raise Su Luo well that he turned out like this..."
Marquis Sinan immediately said, "Nonsense, it's his own mother who was a wicked woman. She seduced me, which is why this bastard was born..."
"Madam, don't overthink it. You've already done more than enough!"
Upon hearing this, the head physician of the Marquis's residence finally smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry. This time, our Marquis's residence has been targeted by a mysterious and powerful force. I will write to my father right now and ask him to investigate thoroughly..."
Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Excellent! Excellent!"
……
Su Luo was completely unaware of what had happened inside the Si Nan Marquis's residence, or what Si Nan Marquis Su Changsheng was thinking.
However, fearing unforeseen circumstances, he went straight into the workshop in the following days and began crafting another item that could significantly enhance his strength...
Refined steel!
In other words, carbon powder was added to copper and iron during the forging process to create an ancient version of the alloy!
If this can be used as a weapon to forge swords, its power will exceed that of the standard weapons of the Great Xia Dynasty by a hundred times!
At the same time, he continued to recruit people in the surrounding villages!
"Within a month, we must reach a thousand people, of whom three hundred must be capable of fighting..." This is Su Luo's goal.
He's not afraid of being high-profile; what he fears is not having the strength to fight when trouble comes!
Moreover, with the Marquis of Sinan's attention diverted, no one will notice them now—this is an opportunity!
After seven days of dedicated study, just as his work on the refined steel was about to be completed, Ye Changfeng's letter arrived from Yunhai Town.
