Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 266

After countless rounds of challenges, Zhen Mi's loyalty was finally raised. At the Zhen residence, Zhen Yi paced back and forth, extremely anxious. If they weren't afraid of being implicated by the Yuan family, they would never have sneaked out.

But why hasn't my daughter returned yet? In his anxiety, Zhen Yi slapped Zhen Yao across the face.

"Look at you, with so many people in your family, why did you choose your youngest sister to go out? Aren't you just hurting her?"

Zhen Yao lowered his head: "Father, as you know, it's not easy to gain the support of the doctors in the city, and my younger sister is the only one in the family who is not yet married, so..."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yi wanted to slap him again, but just then, a young man dressed as a gentleman walked in. This man was none other than Zhen Yan, the second son of the Zhen family.

"Father, please don't be angry. I've already found out. We've all made a fortune this time. Mi'er has been taken back by Luo Chen!"

what!

The two of them stood up at the same time, their faces showing disbelief.

So Zhen Yi ordered his two sons to wash and dress up, and then they went directly to the city lord's mansion.

After the battle with Luo Chen, he and Zhen Mi enjoyed a romantic swim together. Satisfied, he then began to attend to government affairs, while Pang Tong approached with a mischievous grin.

"Reporting to my lord, someone from the Zhen family has arrived!"

Luo Chen nodded and told him to lead the messenger. The group of people walked up to the hall.

Zhen Yi was especially delighted: "Greetings, my lord! May my lord live ten thousand years!"

This guy, he started by flattering me. Luo Chen said directly, "Now that your daughter and I have already done what should and shouldn't have happened, what do you want?"

Zhen Yi naturally wanted to marry his daughter to Luo Chen. Luo Chen glanced at the list and readily agreed, but when he turned around, his expression suddenly changed.

"You, Zhen Yi, do you think I don't know what you've done to me? You think you can keep your Zhen family under control with just a honey trap? What a joke!"

It turns out the Zhen family's business wasn't just what was publicly known; they also had numerous underground operations. Luo Chen had finally managed to wipe out all the underground forces, and yet this guy, upon arriving in Xiangyang, immediately became the local big boss. Where did that leave Luo Chen's reputation?

Chapter 170 Proposing Marriage

Zhen Yi hadn't expected Luo Chen to change his expression so quickly, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"My lord, please calm your anger, your subject..."

Seeing that he was scared, Luo Chen walked up to him and gently helped him up.

"My lord, please do not be afraid. I was just saying this: if the Zhen family's business could be fully incorporated into Jingzhou, that would be the greatest favor to us."

Zhen Yi sighed. This Luo Chen was really too scary. He could change his expression at any time. It seemed that he would have to be more careful in the future, otherwise he might accidentally lose his head at any time.

Zhen Yi looked at Luo Chen with a grin: "What instructions does the lord have?"

Luo Chen smiled calmly: "From today onwards, I will send people to join the Zhen family's business, and of course, I won't treat you unfairly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pang Tong came to Luo Chen with a box of gold and placed it on the table.

Although the gold in front of me is very tempting, is it a joke to think that I can join the Zhen family's business with just this amount of gold?

"My lord, this gold..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pang Tong grunted twice, and suddenly a group of axemen came up, each holding an axe.

Zhen Yi was terrified of death, and upon seeing the battle axe in the guard's hand, he immediately retreated in fright.

"Whatever my lord says, I will do; I dare not disobey!"

After Zhen Yi left, Pang Tong and Luo Chen exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

"My lord's plan is indeed brilliant; Zhen Yi was so frightened that he didn't dare to utter a word!"

Luo Chen snorted coldly: "Of course, don't you know who I am?"

Pang Tong chuckled along with Luo Chen, and the two left at the same time. The Eastern Han Dynasty passed another year peacefully. At this moment, Luo Chen flew directly into the air.

Eastern Wu...

Upon seeing Luo Chen arrive, Sun Quan hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him.

"I was unaware of your arrival, sir. Please forgive me!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, and Sun Quan raised his head. Sun Shangxiang stepped forward from behind. Seeing her brother being so respectful to the person in front of her, she suddenly felt displeased.

"Who is he, brother? Why are you so respectful to him? Don't forget that you are the ruler of Jiangdong."

Sun Quan shoved him aside, saying, "He is my master, he is the true master of Jiangdong!"

Sun Shangxiang clearly couldn't believe that this man was the master of Jiangdong.

"Brother, he doesn't seem like it at all!"

Sun Quan was somewhat angry: "Don't talk nonsense. My master's younger sister is not very knowledgeable. Please forgive her!"

Sun Shangxiang snorted: "Fine, I'll see how capable you are to be my brother's master!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Shangxiang pulled out a knife and attacked Luo Chen. Unexpectedly, Luo Chen caught the blade with his bare hands and pulled Sun Shangxiang into his arms.

"Do you now think I'm qualified to be your brother's master?"

Sun Xiaomei shoved Luo Chen away: "Hmph, don't think I don't know you used witchcraft on my brother! I'm going to find Mother!"

Before she could run out, she was pulled back by a powerful suction force.

Then she quickly threw herself into Luo Chen's arms. This was the second time today, wasn't it? Sun Shangxiang gritted her teeth and cursed Luo Chen for his shamelessness. Luo Chen covered his ears and pretended not to hear.

Then he whispered in her ear, "That's right, your brother is under my spell. Do you want to help him break free?"

The cute little girl nodded in agreement.

Luo Chen smiled faintly and hugged her directly: "Then you have to make some contributions. As for what kind of contributions, let me think about it and we'll talk about it later!"

"Anything is fine as long as it doesn't involve me marrying you!"

It would have been better if she hadn't brought it up; now that she had, Luo Chen wasn't about to let it go. Luo Chen looked troubled and said...

"Alright, then I'll make a request!"

Sun Shangxiang said with a hearty expression, "Just tell me what you need. There's nothing I can't do in Jiangdong!"

As she spoke, she patted her small breasts with her little hands, making Luo Chen swallow mouthful after mouthful of saliva.

"Okay, then marry me!"

Finally, she managed to trick her into it. Sun Shangxiang scoffed, seriously doubting whether Luo Chen's head had been hit by a carriage, otherwise how could he say such a thing?

Sun Quan nodded: "If you, little sister, could marry my master, that would be the best!"

Just then, Old Mrs. Wu also came out.

"Who wants to sell my precious daughter?"

Although Sun Quan had become a slave to Luo Chen, he still harbored an innate fear of Old Lady Wu.

"Lord Luo Chen of Jingzhou greets Madam Wu."

Although Grandma Wu was old, she still exuded a domineering aura.

"So it was you. Not bad. Since that's how it is, little sister, why don't you just give in!"

"Mother, you have no idea, this person is up to no good!"

"Nonsense! How old are you this year? It's rare that someone from Jingzhou would still take a liking to you. You should be content!"

Although that's what she said, Sun Xiaomei still looked unhappy when she heard it, and finally had no choice but to agree.

The news reached Jingzhou from Jiangdong, and even Cao Cao, who was at war with Sun Quan, sent congratulatory gifts. As the saying goes, one shouldn't refuse something given away for free, so Zhou Yu walked up to Sun Quan.

"Lord!"

Sun Quan nodded, and Zhou Yu then offered a plan: "My lord, I heard that Miss Sun is to be married off to Luo, the governor of Jingzhou?"

As expected, Sun Quan nodded again.

Zhou Yu clenched his fists in secret. He never imagined that after all the hard work he had put into conquering the country, he would now hand over his beloved to someone else.

Suddenly, he felt resentful. Since the two Qiao sisters could only play mixed doubles with Luo Chen, Sun Shangxiang was his only hope.

However, at this moment, Sun Quan objected, and that night, Zhou Yu summoned Cheng Pu to his inn.

"Captain!"

"General Cheng, please have a seat!"

After Cheng Pu sat down, Zhou Yu poured out all his thoughts, angrily slamming his hand on the table.

"My lord, you have gone too far. No matter how you look at it, you are the one who deserves the young lady! Commander, rest assured, I will bring you Luo Chen's head right away!"

Cheng Pu was Zhou Yu's most important pawn. Zhou Yu also sent a letter, which he had his servant deliver quickly, traversing half of Jiangdong and reaching the shores of Dongting Lake.

Chapter 171 Eliminating Zhou Yu

On Dongting Lake, a man in blue was instructing the navy on their drills when a fast horse came along. The man fell off the horse and crashed to the ground, clearly exhausted.

The man in blue was the same man who had attacked Luo Chen three times. He opened the letter, which was written in Zhou Yu's own handwriting.

"Quickly dispatch three thousand troops."

After reading it, he immediately burned the letter, and a lieutenant stepped forward.

"General Gan, what are you doing?"

Indeed, this man in blue was none other than the renowned Master Gan Ning, who remained silent for a moment before declaring, "Deploy three thousand troops!"

Seeing that things were not going well, the deputy general also wrote a letter and had one of his brothers deliver it to Sun Quan that very night.

If Sun Quan knew this, then it meant that Luo Chen also knew it.

However, Luo Chen wasn't angry: "This kid is trying to rebel! That's perfect, I don't have to deal with you myself!"

After saying this, Luo Chen began to teach Sun Quan how to arrange troops and deploy them. According to past practice, if someone in the mansion was to get married, they must first offer sacrifices to heaven and earth before the wedding.

This was something that only emperors were qualified to do, but this time, under Luo Chen's instruction, Sun Quan also offered sacrifices to heaven and earth. Fortunately, there were not many people in Jiangdong who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.

As the sun rose, the people happily took to the streets to prepare for their young master's marriage. Zhen Yi was naturally aware of this news, but his status was not comparable to others, so he could only ask his daughter to be a concubine.

What he didn't know was that Luo Chen had long considered Zhen Mi as his wife.

The clanging and banging sounds echoed throughout the street. Sun Quan, dressed in fine clothes, strolled along the street. Just as he was shaking hands with passersby, countless men in black suddenly flew out and stabbed directly at him.

Squads of guards flew out from both sides. Cheng Pu probably didn't expect why his plan had failed. Even after he was pulled up, he remained arrogant and haughty.

"I'm asking you, have you stopped recognizing me as your lord? How dare you attempt to assassinate me in broad daylight?"

Cheng Pu sneered, "Reporting to my lord, this humble general has not come here for your sake, but rather..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Pu had already guessed who he was talking about. He turned around and saw that he was indeed talking about Luo Chen. All the assassins were dead, but the sedan chair that Luo Chen was sitting in was surrounded by spears.

Just then, a cheerful voice rang out, and Luo Chen walked down from the restaurant next door.

"Good idea. If it were me, I would also be transferred here to carry out the assassination!"

"You...how did you get here?"

Luo Chen said calmly, "Do you think you can hide your actions from me? You can't even come up with this trick. Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

Cheng Pu laughed heartily: "As the saying goes, 'When the ruler commands a subject to die, the subject must die.' But I must advise you, my lord, this man cannot be allowed to live!"

After saying that, Cheng Pu pushed away the soldier who was holding him down, snatched the sword from his body, and slit his own throat.

"General!"

Many soldiers present shouted at the same time, and a great general fell from grace.

Despite this ominous event, the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven had to continue. The group set off again, and this time Luo Chen was sitting in front of Sun Quan's carriage. A flag was hung high with only the character "Luo" written on it.

This is to tell everyone in Jiangdong who the true master of Jiangdong is: the Sun family, not this Luo Chen who appeared out of nowhere.

After leaving the city, another three thousand soldiers suddenly rushed towards the sacrificial procession, led by Gan Ning.

"Lord Wu, Lord Luo, your journey must end here!"

Zhou Yu seized the opportunity and stepped forward, pointing at Gan Ning: "You cowards, stop your rampage here! Take my blade!"

The two clashed, and soon Gan Ning was defeated. He turned and left, but he didn't go far. He hid in a dense forest not far away.

Just as Zhou Yu turned around, wanting to curry favor with Sun Quan, Sun Quan looked at Luo Chen, who nodded.

"Get it for me!"

As soon as he uttered those words, countless soldiers suddenly appeared around him, immediately taking control of Zhou Yu with long swords.

"My lord, what does this mean?"
