Martial Arts Universe: With a single command, 100,000 iron cavalry will sweep across the martial wor

At this moment, Nongyu walked in and was taken aback to see three beautiful women in the room—she had only been gone a short while, how come there were three strangers? "Nongyu, has...has that person gotten up yet?"

Upon hearing Zi Nu's question, Nong Yu's cheeks flushed instantly. She had only gone to wake Su Qingfeng, only to have him steal a kiss. Although he claimed he had mistaken her for someone else, Nong Yu felt it was clearly intentional. Only now did she realize why her sister Zi Nu always told her to stay away from Su Qingfeng. With a hint of grievance, she said softly, "Sister, he's not up yet... I can't wake him, you should go yourself."

Seeing that her face was flushed, Zi Nu hurriedly asked, "Nong Yu, did he bully you?" "No, no... he didn't bully me."

Nongyu dared not reveal the kiss. She had long noticed that although Sister Zinu always scolded Su Qingfeng and was always ready to teach him a lesson, she was secretly nervous. Nongyu couldn't figure out what kind of relationship Zinu and Su Qingfeng had, but she didn't want to see them clash again. "Phew, that's good. If he dares to bully you, be sure to tell me, and I'll teach that bastard a lesson." "Yes, I know."

Su Rongrong and the other two women stood quietly to the side, watching the gentle and beautiful woman talk to Zi Nu. Although they were curious about who "that person" was, they did not ask too many questions—after all, it was Zi Nu's private matter.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Seeing that Nongyu was unharmed and that the man was still asleep, Zi Nu had no choice but to summon her former bodyguards to inquire about Chu Liuxiang's whereabouts. Suddenly, she raised her hand and clapped three times.

Seeing that Zi Nu was even clapping like Su Qingfeng, Nong Yu felt helpless. She secretly thought that Zi Nu and Su Qingfeng must be involved in the future, otherwise Su Qingfeng wouldn't have sent his guards and assassins to protect Zi Nu. Those people were far more skilled than the sisters of Zi Lan Xuan, and they had been swift and efficient in eliminating the thugs. If it weren't for that, how could Zi Lan Xuan have been so peaceful for the past month?

As the applause subsided, a woman in black suddenly appeared in the room and bowed to Zi Nu, saying, "Madam."

"Zifu, go and find Ma Haifeng, the commander of the secret guards, and tell him to come to see me immediately." "Yes, Madam."

The shadow assassin Zi Fu accepted the order, turned around, and vanished from the room in an instant.

Su Rongrong and the other two were startled when they saw the black-clad, masked woman appear and disappear intermittently—they hadn't noticed her at all when she appeared just now, and hadn't even caught a glimpse of her presence.

Su Rongrong looked at Zi Nu with surprise. She hadn't expected Zi Nu to have such a powerful subordinate.

When the masked woman in black addressed Zi Nu as "Madam," Su Rongrong clearly saw a blush cross Zi Nu's face—could this woman be someone sent by Zi Nu's husband?

Who will Zi Nu's husband be? Su Rongrong suddenly thought of Su Qingfeng and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Zi Nu married that guy?

Just then, a man in black hurriedly entered and bowed to Zi Nu:

"Commander of the Secret Guard, Madam, greets you."

Zi Nu got angry the moment she saw him:

"Ma Xiaofeng, whose bodyguard are you? Why are you so eager to obey his orders the moment that person appears?"

Ma Xiaofeng hurriedly knelt down, looking utterly troubled. That "Emperor" was the true master of the secret guards; how could he dare disobey his orders? But Zi Nu would also become the Emperor's wife in the future, and her commands could not be disobeyed either. Ma Xiaofeng felt caught in a dilemma and could only bow his head and beg for forgiveness:

"I know I was wrong, please punish me, Madam."

Seeing his expression, Zi Nu knew she couldn't blame him; the blame lay with that annoying guy.

"Never mind. Did you find Chu Liuxiang and the others last night?"

"They've been found. They're hiding in a dilapidated house in the slums south of the city, and haven't eaten for days. The city guards are searching, and they're expected to find them by noon."

When Ma Xiaofeng answered, he glanced at the other three unfamiliar women in the room, hesitating slightly. Zi Nu said directly, "Speak, we're all on the same side."

Su Rongrong panicked upon hearing this. If Chu Liuxiang were discovered by the city guards, the Mohist and Peasant Schools would surely find out, making escape difficult. She grabbed Zi Nu's hand and pleaded:

"Sister Zi Nu, could you please have your people take Brother Chu and the others away from the slums? Once they're out of there, I can disguise them and they can leave Xinzheng quietly."

Just then, a cheerful voice came from outside the door:

"Poor girl, I didn't expect you to come to the Eastern Continent too. We're quite destined to meet."

Su Rongrong looked up at the sound and was immediately stunned:

"It's you? Lord Wu Xiang... what are you doing here?"

Su Qingfeng woke up early in the morning and realized that he had kissed the wrong person in Zi Nu's room the night before. He also did not expect that Nong Yu would come to Zi Nu's room to wake him up.

Seeing Nongyu run away like a frightened rabbit, Su Qingfeng got up to see what Zi Nu wanted to see him about.

Just as Su Qingfeng reached the door of the room where Zi Nu was receiving guests, he heard a familiar female voice coming from inside. After a moment's thought, Su Qingfeng smiled slightly and pushed the door open to enter.

Su Qingfeng hadn't expected that Su Rongrong, this poor girl, would also come to the Eastern Continent. It seemed that Chu Liuxiang was truly desperate. As soon as he entered, he saw Su Rongrong begging Zi Nu to save Chu Liuxiang and the others, and couldn't help but smile: "Poor girl, you actually came to the Eastern Continent too. We're quite destined."

"Lord Wu Xiang? What are you doing here?" Su Rongrong didn't expect to meet him in Han Kingdom. She immediately walked up to Su Qingfeng, rubbed her eyes, and glared at him—how did this bastard end up in the Eastern Continent too?

Hearing him call her "poor girl" again, Su Rongrong felt a surge of anger. That damned bastard, after all this time, he still remembered that incident. Seeing her ghostly expression, Su Qingfeng laughed, "So surprised to see me?"

"Surprised my foot!" Su Rongrong glanced at Zi Nu and asked angrily, "I just didn't expect you to be here too. What's your relationship with Sister Zi Nu? Why are you here with her?"

"I'm the owner of Zilan Pavilion, and Zi Nu is the proprietress. You decide for yourself." Su Qingfeng said, sitting down next to Zi Nu and picking up her tea to drink. Zi Nu glared at him with an unpleasant expression, but he didn't care—since she disliked him anyway, he was determined to make her feel resentful but unable to vent her anger.

When Nongyu saw Su Qingfeng arrive, she lowered her head, not daring to look at him, wanting only to leave as quickly as possible. She had roughly overheard what they had just said; these women had come to beg Zi Nu to save those who had been implicated in the affair with Sui Hou Zhu of Chu. Although Nongyu was somewhat soft-hearted, she wasn't naive. Xinzheng was currently fraught with danger, and she had heard about Sui Hou Zhu's situation last night. Now, both the Mohist and Nong family were after them, and if Zi Lan Xuan were to get involved, it would likely attract the attention of powerful forces. She hadn't left yet because she was worried that Zi Nu would grant their request.

Li Hongxiu and Song Tian'er stared curiously at Wu Xiangjun and Su Rongrong. They had never seen the gentle Su Rongrong with such a fiery side. Who exactly was this Wu Xiangjun? And what was his relationship with Su Rongrong? The two were filled with questions.

Zi Nu clenched her fists, silently repeating to herself: Don't get angry, please don't get angry at this bastard. She knew that even if she scolded Su Qingfeng now, it would be useless; this bastard would definitely have a lot to say in rebuttal. She could only pretend not to hear his words and not to see him drinking his tea.

Su Rongrong was quite surprised to see that Zi Nu did not refute her—she hadn't expected that Zi Nu would be captured by this scoundrel, and it hadn't been that long!

How could Zi Nu have become this lord's wife? Su Rongrong now understood why her subordinates had addressed her as "Madam." "Lord Wu Xiang, you know about Chu Liuxiang and the others, right? Could you please save them?"

"Oh, no way."

"Why...?"

Su Qingfeng looked at Su Rongrong with some helplessness. He knew why Chu Liuxiang and the others had kept their treasures safe and sound in the Ming Dynasty—Chu Liuxiang's master, the Night Emperor, was a member of the Ming Dynasty's royal family.

The Ming imperial family might not make things difficult for Chu Liuxiang and his group out of respect for the Night Emperor. But in other countries, they would be thieves. It's only right for officials and soldiers to catch thieves.

Besides, this thief stole a national treasure. Su Qingfeng didn't want to save Chu Liuxiang, but he was determined to get the Suihou Pearl. He stroked his chin, thinking: Taking a treasure from a thief can't really be considered stealing, right?

Seeing the anxious Su Rongrong, Su Qingfeng said, "Why should I save a thief? Chu Liuxiang and his gang are courting death by daring to steal national treasures. Aren't they just asking for trouble? Don't think that just because this is still the Ming Dynasty, we can do whatever we want with them."

"In the Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for the Night Emperor, a member of the royal family, backing them up, do you think the court wouldn't have arrested them after they stole the treasure? It's ironic that a thief can be called a chivalrous bandit. Outside the Ming Dynasty, they're just thieves. They're lucky I didn't arrest them."

Su Rongrong was speechless for a moment. Su Qingfeng's words were indeed reasonable, but Chu Liuxiang had never harmed anyone while stealing treasures, and he distributed all the proceeds to the poor. Wasn't that considered chivalrous thief? "Lord Wu Xiang, Chu Liuxiang, he..."

"Hold on. I know what you're going to say—either that he's never killed anyone, or that he gave money to the poor."

"Hmph, that's because he doesn't dare to do it. Su Rongrong, do you believe it or not, if Chu Liuxiang steals the treasure and then commits a crime, even his master, the Night Emperor, can't protect him. Don't think that the Night Emperor can control everything in the Ming Dynasty; there are many people stronger than him."

"If Chu Liuxiang truly wanted to help others, why didn't he earn the money himself to do so? Stealing ill-gotten gains? Then let me ask you, are the national treasures of Chu considered ill-gotten gains? A petty thief, yet he speaks of himself as so noble. If he dared to commit a crime on my territory, even if the Night Emperor himself came, he couldn't protect him. He's nothing but a self-righteous thief."

Su Qingfeng was unwilling to listen to Su Rongrong's words any longer. He had always disliked Chu Liuxiang. Su Rongrong, along with Li Hongxiu and Song Tian'er, had followed Chu Liuxiang for many years, but in the end, none of the three stayed with him.

Su Qingfeng had thought that Chu Liuxiang might have been using Su Rongrong when he watched martial arts dramas, but that was just his wild guess. Anyway, it was none of his business—as long as Chu Liuxiang didn't provoke him, Su Qingfeng didn't care what Chu Liuxiang stole.

When Su Rongrong saw that Wu Xiangjun refused to save Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua, she remembered the promise she had made for them with one hundred taels of silver. Although she was reluctant to spend it, she was, after all, a good friend of Chu Liuxiang and the others, and she couldn't just stand by and watch them get into trouble.

So she handed the letter of commitment to Su Qingfeng and said, "Lord Wu Xiang, do you remember this? I want to use it to exchange for you saving Chu Liuxiang and the others once."

"What the hell?! Su Rongrong, you poor girl, you actually think you can save Chu Liuxiang and the others with this promise? One hundred taels of silver, and you expect me to offend the strongest nation and several powerful forces in the Eastern Continent? Are you out of your mind?!"

Su Qingfeng almost pointed at Su Rongrong and cursed her when he saw the letter of promise she handed him. This girl is really crazy. She actually took a promise that cost a hundred taels of silver seriously. Zhu Qiqi, on the other hand, spent a hundred thousand taels of gold to get a promise.
