Chapter 102 The Moon Wolf Clan's Defection
Seeing that no one listened to her, Zi Nu's anger flared. She drew her Crimson Serpent Sword and leaped into the fray, separating Yan Ling Ji and the Netherworld Guards with a single strike: "I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"
Yan Lingji recognized the woman in purple, but ignored her, unleashing her lightness skill and unleashing a sea of fire with a flick of her hairpin. Anyone who tried to stop her from killing that woman was an enemy.
"court death!"
Seeing that she was ungrateful, Zi Nu angrily swung her sword and attacked. Yan Ling Ji, seeing that this purple-haired woman dared to obstruct her, also angrily engaged her in battle.
One excelled at fire, the other at long-range attacks; the two fought like fairies in the courtyard, one in purple, the other in red, their figures darting about. Su Qingfeng sat at the stone table, watching with great interest.
Although he didn't understand why Zi Nu started fighting with Yan Ling Ji as soon as she arrived, he was too lazy to interfere and quickly waved for the Netherworld Guards to retreat—he couldn't miss such a good show.
"You, come here."
Su Qingfeng suddenly noticed a woman standing next to him and spoke to her.
"I……?"
When Nongyu heard the emperor call her name, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back. Her sister Zinu had said that this emperor was a lecherous man, and now that he had seen her, Nongyu couldn't help but feel afraid.
Su Qingfeng stared at the woman in the distance, a sense of unease creeping over him. Was he really that frightening? It was so dark; how could she possibly see his face? Just as he was wondering, the woman spoke up: "I'm talking to you. Go and prepare some tea and snacks. I've been drinking all this time, and I'm a little hungry now." Su Qingfeng replied, "Okay, I'll go prepare them right away."
Hearing Su Qingfeng say this, Nongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally been worried that this emperor might have other intentions, but now she hesitated: if she sent over tea and snacks later, would he take the opportunity to do something improper to her?
Su Qingfeng ignored her further. Meanwhile, Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji were locked in a fierce battle. Zi Nu's skirt was being scorched by Yan Ling Ji's flames, and Yan Ling Ji's arm was being cut by Zi Nu's Crimson Serpent Sword. Seeing this, Su Qingfeng immediately ordered all the Netherworld Guards to retreat—if the fighting continued, their clothes might be torn, and the guards would see them. He didn't want anyone else to see Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji's bodies.
Eastern Continent, grasslands.
The Netherworld Iron Cavalry had just conquered a large Xiongnu tribe. Since Su Qingfeng left, this cavalry, with the assistance of Hu Ji, had successively destroyed two medium-sized tribes, one large tribe, and more than ten small tribes. Now, more than 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry had surrendered.
"Madam, where should we go next?" Commander Cui Hao bowed to the beautiful Hu woman and asked for instructions.
Cui Hao addressed her as "Madam" because that night Su Qingfeng had brought Hu Ji into the tent. Even the most foolish person would understand what would happen if a woman entered a man's tent late at night. Hu Ji was delighted to hear Cui Hao address her this way. In the days that followed, Cui Hao and the other Netherworld cavalry had all called her that, and she had never corrected them.
Although nothing actually happened between her and Su Qingfeng, she had already decided that she would belong to him in the future. On this grassland, only the powerful Su Qingfeng was worthy of being her husband.
"Chief Cui, the next step is to go to the Hulin tribe. My tribe should be ready. We currently have 140,000 Xiongnu servants in the army, plus 50,000 soldiers from my tribe, making a total of nearly 200,000 troops. That's enough to wipe out all the Xiongnu in the Hetao region."
"Yes, Madam. However... should we send another 10,000-strong Netherworld Iron Cavalry? The number of Xiongnu servants in the army is large, and I am worried that they might cause trouble."
Hu Ji was taken aback upon hearing this: "There are still Netherworld Iron Cavalry here?"
"Yes. In Jiuyuan County of Qin State, there are 30,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry stationed there. They are the troops Your Majesty uses to assist the King of Qin."
There were even 30,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry! Hu Ji was secretly alarmed. Less than 20,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry were already enough to roam the grasslands; if another 30,000 came, even the entire Xiongnu cavalry would struggle to withstand them.
Hu Ji pondered, after all, this was Su Qingfeng's army from the Eastern Continent. How many troops did he still have in the Southern Continent's Song and Sui Dynasties? And how many soldiers did the Xuanwu Legion have?
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She hadn't expected Su Qingfeng to be so strong; her future husband was indeed extraordinary. After a moment's consideration, Hu Ji said to Cui Hao:
"Commander Cui, then let's send another 10,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry Legion over. After all, the troops over there still need to assist the King of Qin, and we can't send them all over."
"Adding another 10,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry should be enough. When those Xiongnu servants see another 10,000 coming, they definitely won't dare to have any more thoughts of rebellion."
"Yes, madam."
After Cui Hao responded, he didn't see Hu Ji produce the jade pendant for mobilizing troops, so he had to remind her, "Madam, mobilizing the army requires your Bluebird Jade Pendant."
"You mean this?"
"Yes, madam."
Cui Hao was secretly delighted. His respectful treatment of Hu Ji during this period had indeed paid off—upon seeing the bluebird jade pendant, he understood that Hu Ji would surely become the emperor's wife in the future.
Hu Ji took out a jade pendant from her bosom; it was the token she had asked Su Qingfeng for. Back then, Su Qingfeng had asked her for help in dealing with the Xiongnu, and Hu Ji had proposed a joint effort. Although Su Qingfeng agreed, she still specifically asked for this jade pendant as proof.
She never expected that the Azure Bird Jade Pendant could mobilize Su Qingfeng's army, and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Lord Wu Xiang, Su Qingfeng, had long harbored feelings for her? But despite her thoughts, she was secretly pleased, as this was tantamount to a clear indication that she would become Su Qingfeng's wife in the future.
Hu Ji handed the bluebird jade pendant to Cui Hao: "Commander Cui, immediately send someone to Jiuyuan to fetch ten thousand Netherworld Iron Cavalry."
"Yes, madam."
After Cui Hao left, Hu Ji entered a magnificent tent, feeling very pleased – all her efforts in helping Su Qingfeng during this time had finally paid off.
On second thought, this wasn't really helping outsiders. In the future, the two would become husband and wife, and what she was doing now was simply contributing to her own family.
Just then, a report came from outside the tent from the Netherworld Iron Cavalry guards:
"Lady Qi, a woman of the Moon Wolf lineage requests an audience."
Descendants of the Moon Wolves? The Moon Wolf Clan? What are they doing here? Hu Ji was puzzled. The Moon Wolf Clan was small in number, but they were skilled at controlling wolf packs and using poison. Could this woman be planning to attack her army?
After a moment's thought, she realized it was impossible. The Moon Wolf Clan had been nearly wiped out by the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu Chanyu was still searching for them everywhere. Why would the Moon Wolf Clan provoke her at this time?
"Bring her in."
"Yes, madam."
Outside the military camp, a woman dressed in animal skins with an eye-catching figure looked at the Netherworld Iron Cavalry before her and was secretly amazed: this army had wiped out more than ten Xiongnu tribes in just over ten days, which was truly formidable.
She had been observing this army for four or five days and knew their ruthlessness well—the Xiongnu who refused to surrender were wiped out, and even children sometimes could not escape their clutches.
We have come here because we need their help. The few thousand remaining members of the Moon Wolf tribe are being hunted by the Xiongnu, and without their protection, the entire tribe will likely be wiped out.
"The lady grants you permission to enter the tent, but all weapons must remain." "Understood."
The woman followed the Netherworld Iron Cavalry into the military camp, her gaze sweeping over the vigilant cavalry and the Xiongnu servants who had joined the army, and she felt nothing but absurdity.
More than 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry were firmly controlled by less than 20,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry. They had weapons and horses in their hands, yet not a single one resisted or escaped. This was truly incomprehensible.
"Madam, the woman of the Moon Wolf lineage has been brought in." "Let her in."
"Yes."
Stepping into the magnificent tent, she was startled to see a woman with an alluring appearance—she had never imagined that the commander of this army would be such a person.
But this woman is clearly not of Chinese descent, so how can she command such a powerful Chinese army?
"Nomin, descendant of the Moon Wolf, pays his respects to the Madam."
Hu Ji sat on a Hu stool, sizing up the woman wrapped in animal skin before her. She hadn't expected the envoy of the Moon Wolf race to be such a wild creature, exuding an untamed spirit; he must be the tribe's leader.
"Nomin, what brings you to see me?"
After bowing, Nuomin said urgently, "Madam, my Moon Wolf Clan is willing to pledge allegiance to you and fight for you."
Hu Ji rose gracefully and walked to Nuomin. She guessed that the Moon Wolf Clan was in dire straits. Nuomin had witnessed the Netherworld Iron Cavalry's slaughter of the Xiongnu in the army for days, and must have been impressed by their military might. He wanted to find a powerful backer so that his people could catch their breath.
"Sign with me?" Hu Ji chuckled. "Nomin, your tribe is nearly wiped out. Now that I command a powerful army, what use are the Moon Wolves to me?"
Nuomin quickly replied:
"My lady, our Moon Wolf Clan is familiar with the locations of various tribes on the grasslands and can guide your army to the Xiongnu tribe. We can also command wolf packs and use wolf venom to eliminate powerful enemies for you."
Hu Ji shook her head upon hearing this. She herself was well aware of the distribution of the various Xiongnu tribes on the grasslands. As for the Moon Wolf Clan's ability to control wolves and use poison, if it were truly so formidable, how could they have been nearly wiped out by the Xiongnu?
"Nomin, you probably don't know who I am, do you?"
"Who is the lady...?"
"I am the chieftain of the Alake tribe, the largest tribe of the Donghu. Do you think I don't understand the grasslands?"
Nomin's heart sank. If this lady refused to take them in, the Moon Wolf Clan would be wiped out sooner or later. Even if she defeated the Xiongnu in the Ordos region, other tribes would not let the now-weak Moon Wolf Clan go.
She knelt directly before the Hu woman, pleading in a mournful voice:
"Madam, our Moon Wolf tribe has been ravaged by the Xiongnu, and now there are less than two thousand of us left, mostly women and children. We have nowhere else to go, please take us in."
Hu Ji gazed at Nuomin's wild yet beautiful face and suddenly thought: Perhaps Su Qingfeng would like a woman like this. Moreover, Nuomin is simple-minded and poses no threat to her position.
Perhaps we could give her to Wu Xiangjun Su Qingfeng as a gift in the future.
"Nomin, it's not impossible for me to take in the Moon Wolves. But you must become my husband's slaves—that cannot be changed."
"I agree! We are willing to be your slaves." Nomin nodded hurriedly.
She was willing to do anything to preserve her people. Although she would have to become a slave to this woman's husband, he was supposed to be a member of the Han Chinese, and she probably would never see him again in her lifetime.
"Alright. Take your people to the Donghu and have them tattooed with slave marks. I will also return to my tribe to rest for a few days. I will only wait for you for three days."
"Yes, madam."
Han Kingdom, Xinzheng.
Watching Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji fight, Su Qingfeng suddenly remembered that he still had a group of shadow assassins he hadn't used. Checking his system space, he discovered that out of the three hundred shadow assassins, one hundred were women.
