Chapter 606: Background without Makeup

The word "drag" was said in a particularly loud voice, and the tone was slightly heavier. Although Zuo Feng was injured and it was difficult for him to move his body, he could still speak louder.

These words were neither humble nor arrogant, which made Su Lan's face change slightly. With his cultivation and life experience, he certainly would not be confused by Zuo Feng's words. It's just that the feeling of things exceeding his expectations has rarely been encountered in the more than ten years since he became the commander of the Su Mansion.

However, the young man in front of him not only made him guess the reason unexpectedly, but also made him guess the methods he used accurately.

He believed that everything he did was unknown not only to Su Yan, but also to the people around him. The reason why he did this was not because he cared about Zuo Feng, but because he cared about the relationship between him and Su Yan, or it would be more appropriate to say that he cared about Su Yan's emotions.

Moreover, the development of the whole thing was beyond his expectations, or he did not do anything deliberately in it, which was exactly the same as Zuo Feng guessed. When Su Yan contacted them, he appeared in front of everyone soon, and then asked him to mobilize the family's power to save Zuo Feng.

At that time, he didn't care about Zuo Feng, but was particularly concerned about what Su Yan said about Xinjun City. Their Su family's status in the Xuanwu Empire is definitely at the top, and Xinjun City has a thousand connections with their Su family, which also involves many real secrets of the Xuanwu Empire.

So when they heard about the changes in Xinjun City, the family had already started to respond. However, at that time, there happened to be a fleet of the Su family very close to Xinjun City, so he was still confident that the troubles in Xinjun City could be solved perfectly. Later, the family also sent a group of people to solve the subsequent troubles and investigate the secrets behind the Xinjun City incident.

In the letter that Su Yan sent back to the family, it was said that the Cheng family, the Guilingmen and the Snow Wolf Gang participated in the Xinjun incident, and it was not clear about other forces at that time. This news made the Su family re-evaluate the current situation and finally decided to lead a thorough investigation by a general.

As the general of the Su family, Su Lan naturally did not need to do the tedious work of gathering intelligence everywhere, but he still had to do the overall planning. As soon as Su Lan left the family, he sent out his men. He did not rush to Xin County, because in his opinion, Xin County should be calm at this time.

Since the enemy had planned for a long time, they would never leave any clues in Xin County, and rushing at this time would probably not find any useful information. So Su Lan stayed in the county town of Linshan County, collecting intelligence from all parties, screening it, and then redeploying manpower to conduct targeted investigations.

Coincidentally, the grand era of the Xuanwu Empire, the selection of medicine, began at this time. He did not understand why this year's selection was suddenly advanced, but he vaguely heard that the empire was preparing for a major event recently. This major event is related to the Ancient Wilderness Empire, so it can be inferred that it should be related to a secret realm, after all, the Ancient Wilderness Empire is rich in this.

It was also at this time that the position of the selection inspection in Linshan County was assigned to the Su family by the empire, and Su Lan, the commander who was in Linshan County, was naturally given an extra burden. Su Lan didn't pay much attention to this, but she sent one of her men to each selection site to do some investigation.

The so-called selection inspection is actually for the fairness of the selection of medicine, and a macro control of the empire to a certain extent. However, the selection of medicine has been passed down for thousands of years, and now it is inevitable that there are various drawbacks. For example, contestants like Zuo Feng who participated in the selection were made difficult everywhere because they disagreed with the organizer.

Although Su Lan had heard about this a long time ago, from his current position, he mainly had to protect the interests of the family. In fact, he didn't care much about the so-called interests of the empire.

However, after receiving Su Yan's message, although he didn't understand who this suddenly appeared boy named Shen Feng was, since Su Yan might be dangerous with him, he had to take care of it.

Su Yan was not a concubine's daughter, but the fruit of an impulse between the master of the family and a maid after drinking. As a result, her status in the family became very awkward. Madam Ji never spoke kindly to Su Yan and his mother, and the head of the family did not want to cause family discord because of a maid, so he could only pretend not to know the grievances suffered by Su Yan and her mother.

Su Yan was very independent since she was a child. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with her father, fortunately, the eldest lady's daughter Su Qiao had always been good to her and her mother, which made her feel the warmth of family affection to some extent. Later, Su Qiao married the Kang family, and she also volunteered to accompany him to the Kang family.

However, she also had a task, which was to try to understand the inside story of the Kang family, and it would be best if she could get the Kang family's several undisclosed alchemy techniques. Originally, this plan had a great chance of success, but after Su Qiao married Kang Zhen, she not only changed her name to Kang Qiao after her husband, but also gave her heart to the Kang family, which made it impossible for Su Yan to get the undisclosed secrets of the Kang family.

There would be no intersection between Su Lan and Su Yan, not to mention that the age difference between the two sides was very large. Su Lan's actual age was probably more than enough to be Su Yan's grandfather.

However, Sulan once liked Suyan's mother. Although Suyan's mother was just a maid at that time, Sulan could not forget her for a long time after she saw her for the first time.

Su Yan's appearance is very similar to her mother, but her beauty is only 70% of her mother's. Her mother's beauty is far superior to Su Yan, which shows that the head of the Su family was not just drunk and impulsive, and he probably had coveted this beautiful maid for a long time.

Su Lan was not the commander-in-chief of the Su family at that time, but was just an outstanding general among several generals. At the beginning, he also hoped to ask the master for this girl, but the only person who could make such a request in the Su family was the commander-in-chief.

Perhaps this was just one of the reasons that stimulated him, and of course it cannot be denied that his pursuit of martial arts was far more persistent than others. But before he stepped into the position he had dreamed of and made his request to the master, the maid had already become a concubine of the master.

It was difficult for him to accept this reality, but he had to accept this fact. As a warrior trained by the Su family, his destination was only this place. He was an orphan with no relatives. He only remembered that he was adopted by the previous generation of the family head and brought to the Su family with countless other children of the same age as him.

In a very secret mountain, he and other children adopted by the Su family received training together. That kind of training was extremely cruel, and even one out of ten people could hardly survive. The only result for the other failed people was to be buried forever in that mysterious mountain.

Su Lan was a leader with outstanding talents. At the same time, his character and mind were much stronger than ordinary people, which was also his biggest bargaining chip for survival. Such children would be collected in batches every few years, and then they would be cruelly tempered and cultivated. Many of his friends had almost come this way.

But they could also obtain cultivation resources that many people could not get, and they could also get more trust from the family head. Although those families attached to the Su family would send the best of their own clans to the Su family every few years, they still had families behind them, which made it impossible for the Su family to use them with peace of mind.

Sulan had never really liked anyone except Suyan's mother, nor had he really been sincere to anyone. So when Suyan's mother was taken as a concubine, he still tied his heart tightly to that woman.

As if it was in line with the old saying, "Since ancient times, beauties have risked their lives." Suyan's mother's health deteriorated after giving birth to Suyan, and in the end she died of a strange disease. Suyan became even more pitiful at that time. Losing the love of her mother, coupled with the bullying of the wives of the main house, made Suyan, who was still young, think of suicide.

But in the end, he still insisted on surviving, just because of the appearance of this Marshal Sulan. Sulan appeared when Suyan was the most vulnerable and helpless, not only to help in all aspects of life, but also to teach her martial arts.

At that time, Sulan had already won the title of Marshal, and was also a very important figure in the Su family. Although the other wives were very dissatisfied with his protection of Suyan, they did not dare to really offend the Marshal.

The Marshal treats Su Yan like his own daughter, which is why Zuo Feng always feels that Su Yan is good. Although Su Yan is still young, her cultivation is already outstanding among her peers, and her martial arts skills make Zuo Feng envious.

This is closely related to Su Lan, who taught Su Yan his best skills and also his best martial arts skills. The quality of the skills determines the speed of a person's cultivation. Although aptitude also accounts for part of the reason, having a good skill will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Zuo Feng is the best example. After he obtained the soul-melting skill, although the reasons of the beast soul and beast pattern cannot be ruled out, the skills are also an important factor. He can keep using the Yuan rotation method while walking, sitting and lying down, and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body all the time, so the speed of cultivation will of course be amazingly fast.

And the martial arts skills are to enable Su Yan to better save his life. As a child of the Su family, Su Yan has good cultivation and strength, so naturally he has to work for the Su family.

Because she was a girl, she was asked to participate in intelligence work from the beginning. First, the intelligence must be in the hands of the Su family themselves, and her identity is also in the upper echelons of the Su family. Second, intelligence work generally does not require desperate fighting, and even if something happens, you can choose to escape quickly.

In Su Yan's first few actions, Su Lan followed quietly, and if he encountered danger, he would secretly help solve it. Gradually, Su Yan finally raised his head in the Su family because his intelligence work was indeed excellent.
