"enough."
Just then, a deep voice suddenly came from behind the courtyard gate.
That booming voice came from a bald man standing in the courtyard.
This man was broad-shouldered and burly, with a head completely bare of hair, sporting a goatee, and dressed in a military uniform, exuding an aura of dominance.
Su Feng squinted at the man walking out of the door and immediately understood his identity.
This was the person they were going to visit in Luhua Town: Commander Xu.
His eagle-like eyes were fixed on Su Feng, like a hungry prey, and a cryptic smile played on his lips.
interesting.
Really interesting.
He had originally intended to give Jiang Dalong a hard time, but he never expected that his plan would be so easily thwarted.
He saw the whole process clearly.
How did that young man brought by Jiang Dalong manage to make his men surrender with just a glance...?
It seems that after not seeing him for several years, Jiang Dalong has suddenly found such a talented and extraordinary person by his side.
Commander Xu put on a kind and amiable smile and went outside...

Chapter 174 Each with their own hidden agenda! The Marshal's Mansion shrouded in darkness!
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Brother Jiang, you must have found this amusing."
Marshal Xu's gloomy smile was anything but kind; on the contrary, it carried a sinister and terrifying aura lurking in the shadows...
"Please forgive me, gentlemen, but there have been many bandits lately, and quite a few are eyeing the treasure I possess, which is why I'm being so strict..."
He glanced with a smile at the two soldiers who were slumped on the ground, then looked in the direction of Su Feng and Jiang Dalong.
"Oh dear, look at my brain! Come in and sit down, come in and sit down!"
At Xu Dashuai's invitation, Su Feng and Annie were finally allowed to enter the courtyard.
Throughout the entire process, Su Feng could feel those sharp gazes constantly sweeping over him...
He really is a cunning and treacherous fellow.
Su Feng smiled calmly and followed them into the Marshal's Mansion.
……
Several people were sitting in the large, classically styled hall.
After the introduction, Su Feng realized that these were the same people Jiang Dalong had mentioned before, namely Commander Wu and Commander Liu.
They were all warlords who controlled their own territories.
We are gathered here today because of Marshal Xu's invitation.
After all, Commander Xu's power is at its zenith, and no one dares to refuse his invitation.
We should still give them that face.
"Oh dear, Brother Jiang, I am truly sorry for what happened earlier."
As soon as Commander Xu sat down, he clinked glasses with Jiang Dalong and drank tea, and then brought up the matter at the door earlier.
During this time, his eyes would occasionally glance at Su Feng.
"As I said, many people outside know that I have recently acquired a great treasure, and they all want to possess it. One can't be too careful, so I've instructed my subordinates to be extra vigilant..."
"Therefore, I apologize for any offense, but I will offer tea instead of wine as a sign of respect."
Although his explanations were all polite, every word he uttered was a boast.
And that so-called treasure immediately whetted everyone's appetite.
Jiang Dalong finished his tea with a displeased expression, then muttered under his breath, "Damn it, when did I become his brother?"
He's really gotten ahead overnight, and now he's rambling incoherently.
After that, the warlords exchanged information, and Su Feng sat quietly to the side without participating.
He wasn't interested in these topics; instead, he was puzzled by the strange atmosphere permeating the house...
It was an unusual aura of yin energy.
Part of it emanated from Commander Xu, while the other part came from the wall in front.
On that wall, which exuded an eerie atmosphere, hung a self-portrait of Marshal Xu, depicting him in military uniform, standing imposingly with a cane in hand.
The yin energy wasn't strong... it was very faint.
But this also caught Su Feng's attention.
Just as Su Feng was deep in thought, his hand was suddenly gently pulled. 097
“Young Master Su…” Annie seemed a little uneasy sitting next to him.
Su Feng naturally understood what she meant.
Others might have come to "visit" Xu Dashuai's so-called treasures, but Annie came to find her biological father.
But now, a group of powerful warlords are sitting together talking, and she, a commoner, has no way to get a word in edgewise.
"Don't rush, we'll find another opportunity to speak later," Su Feng gently patted Annie's tightly clenched fist to reassure her.
"Oh right, you haven't introduced this Brother Su to me yet!"
The conversation suddenly shifted, focusing entirely on Su Feng.
Commander Xu laughed heartily, his eyes scanning Su Feng closely. "Brother Su, you're so young, with such a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing! You must be an intellectual, not like us roughnecks!"
Su Feng found these compliments somewhat strange.
"General Xu is too kind."
"Oh, not at all, not at all! It's been so long since any young people have visited my manor! You must join me for a few drinks tonight!"
Then there was another burst of laughter.
This gave Su Feng an additional impression of Xu Dashuai as someone who was unpredictable and capricious.
It's as if the fierce-looking man at the door just now is not the same person as the smiling man now.
Just then, a fresh-faced and graceful woman emerged from the inner room.
She wore a tight-fitting cheongsam that accentuated her stunning figure, and with light makeup, she gracefully walked to Marshal Xu's side.
Holding a bowl of medicinal soup, he said, "General, it's time to drink your medicine."
"Oh dear, I almost forgot." Commander Xu took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then casually put it aside and pulled the woman next to him into his arms.
They didn't shy away from it at all, and started kissing each other in front of everyone.
"General, yes, someone's watching!"
The woman turned her face away shyly, but Marshal Xu didn't care and laughed heartily.
"Everyone! Actually, I invited you here today not only to admire my newly acquired treasure, but also to witness my wedding with another treasure, Susu!"
really.
Su Feng smiled calmly.
Just like in the movie, the tragedy began with this wedding.
But apart from Su Feng, everyone else seemed surprised and it took them a while to react and offer their congratulations.
"Congratulations! I wish Commander Xu a healthy baby soon and a happy and fulfilling life!"
"General Xu is truly blessed with good fortune in love; it's something to be envied!"
The surrounding area was filled with congratulatory voices, but Su Feng didn't know how many were genuine and how many were fake.
However, he seemed to remember that in the movie, Marshal Xu should have had three wives...
Just then, Su Feng looked up and saw three women standing in the corner.
Although they have passed their youthful years, they still retain their charm...
At that moment, the three of them were glaring at him with resentful eyes.
This jealous gaze from a woman was even more terrifying and chilling than the yin energy, making Su Feng want to laugh.
……
The wedding was held the following evening, and Xu Dashuai promised that after the banquet, he would show everyone the treasure he had acquired.
The others dared not object and could only nod in agreement.
Then, the other warlords used smoking or other excuses to temporarily leave the room.
Taking this opportunity, Anne was able to speak and tell him the purpose of her trip.
"General Xu... My father, Wang Sanyang, came to our mansion to appraise treasures some time ago. Now, I haven't heard from him at all. Could something have happened here?"
Annie's straightforward and blunt personality made Jiang Dalong break out in a cold sweat.
"You're Old Wang's daughter?" Commander Xu was visibly taken aback when he heard this, and said, "He's always mentioned you to me, but I never expected you to be so beautiful."
Anne didn't want the praise; she just wanted an answer.
An answer that someone would travel hundreds of miles to find out.
"General Xu, could you tell me where my father is now?"
"..." Commander Xu fell silent for a few seconds, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.
"Please, Commander Xu! Please tell me!" Annie was so emotional that she was almost crying.
Commander Xu's face suddenly darkened, and he replied in a serious tone, "Many days ago, Old Wang did come to my residence to appraise treasures, but he left after only one day. Now that you say he has disappeared, I am quite surprised."
