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

"Brother Chu, we really did this willingly, please don't do this. If you get involved with him again, it will be even harder for you to escape Xinzheng." Song Tian'er quickly grabbed Chu Liuxiang and pleaded with him repeatedly.

"That's right, Brother Chu, we really didn't force him. At first, he was unwilling to take us as maids, but we begged him repeatedly before he agreed to help this time."

Chu Liuxiang raised his hand to stop Li Hongxiu and Song Tian'er from speaking. "No need to say more. I will never let you become anyone's maid. Old Hu, call that so-called secret guard in. We'll subdue them one by one." Hu Tiehua looked at Chu Liuxiang seriously and understood his thoughts at this moment—Chu Liuxiang had selfish motives.

Su Rongrong and the others were Chu Liuxiang's confidantes, and they were also extremely beautiful. Chu Liuxiang was afraid that they would be taken away by other men in the future. Hu Tiehua walked to Chu Liuxiang's side and asked seriously, "Old Chu, are you really sure?"

Chu Liuxiang held his fan, his face expressionless. "Yes, I've never been so serious before." Hu Tiehua looked at him, then nodded to Ji Bingyan and said, "Alright, since you've made up your mind, Old Ji and I will help you."

When Su Rongrong and the others saw that Chu Liuxiang and his group were about to attack Su Qingfeng's guards, they hurriedly tried to stop them, but before they could even speak, Chu Liuxiang swiftly struck their pressure points.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan also subdued all the unsuspecting guards. They then took Su Rongrong and the others and quickly left the area in Su Qingfeng's carriage.

In the Purple Orchid Pavilion, after Zi Nu went to find Han Fei and the others, Su Qingfeng sat idly watching Hong Yu and Cai Die dance gracefully, with the sound of Nong Yu playing the guqin in his ears. He leaned back, drinking wine and enjoying the music, feeling that this was the life a noble should have. At this moment, a Netherworld Iron Cavalryman entered, bowed to Su Qingfeng, and reported: "Your Majesty, someone has delivered an invitation; it is for Madam Shi."

"Oh? For Shi Guanyin? Let me see it." Su Qingfeng was somewhat helpless. That woman Shi Guanyin had long since disappeared. Who in Xinzheng City would send her an invitation? Could it be Ji Wuye? "Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Qingfeng glanced at the invitation and casually tossed it away. He hadn't expected Ji Wuye to dare to make a move on Shi Guanyin, and he was instantly furious.

That lecherous Ji Wuye is practically asking for death, daring to even covet his woman. It seems I can't just cause trouble for Ji Wuye; I need to take action against that old lecher myself. Su Qingfeng stroked his chin, pondering how to create even more trouble for Ji Wuye.

It seems that the Nightfall Sea Fairy is Bai Yifei's cousin. Should we try to control that beautiful Lady Mingzhu?

And then there's Jade Tiger; he must have amassed quite a fortune, which we can't let fall into Ji Wuye's hands. As for the man in the straw raincoat, Su Qingfeng wasn't certain of his identity, but he had a general idea.

Nongyu picked up the invitation, glanced at it, and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, will you still attend Ji Wuye's invitation this time?"

"Where are you going? Once Tianze and Han Fei arrive, I'll go and take care of that old lecher's henchmen first."

After listening to Su Qingfeng's words, Nongyu smiled gently. She was no longer afraid of this Lord Wu Xiang; after spending time with him that morning, she had gained some understanding of his personality.

Su Qingfeng wasn't as bad as Sister Zi Nu said. Although he liked to joke, Nong Yu felt that he was a genuine person.

Compared to those outwardly respectable but inwardly despicable Korean nobles, Su Qingfeng appeared quite open and honest.

"Does Your Majesty intend to take action personally?" Hong Yu and Cai Die stopped dancing, walked to Su Qingfeng's side to pour him wine, and then sat down to drink with him.

Now that Lord Wu Xiang is considered their employer, if Sister Zi Nu really marries him, they will all be one family, so they don't stand on ceremony with Su Qing Feng.

Su Qingfeng, with Hong Yu on her left and Cai Die on her right, laughed and said:

"Of course, that old lecher Ji Wuye dared to make a move on my woman, what kind of man would I be if I didn't retaliate? If I weren't keeping him for that unlucky bastard Han Fei, I would have sent someone to kill him right now."

Nongyu felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this:

"Sister Zi Nu, you're quite the lecher, aren't you? You and Ji Wu Ye are probably the same kind of people."

Su Qingfeng knew that Nongyu was still angry about kissing her earlier and was deliberately picking a fight, so she said:

"I only kissed you once, why hold a grudge? I had just woken up and mistook you for Zi Nu."

When Nongyu saw him bring this up in front of Hongyu and Caidie, her face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly retorted:

"I don't believe it! Sister Zi Nu smells of orchids, how could you not tell?"

"I was dizzy when I woke up, so I didn't care about the fragrance."

The colorful butterfly fed Su Qingfeng a grape and said with a smile:

"Why don't you take Nongyu as well, so that she and Sister Zinu can marry you together in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Nongyu blushed and started playfully teasing Caidie, never expecting Caidie to joke like that.

She thought to herself that she was just a musician, and although Sister Zi Nu's status wasn't high either, she had spent every day with Su Qingfeng and they were truly in love, so Su Qingfeng didn't mind her background. But she was different.

Su Qingfeng felt a little embarrassed after hearing Cai Die's words. He dared not make any moves on Nong Yu—if Zi Nu found out, that intelligent woman would definitely cause him trouble.

"Let's talk about it later, let's drink first. That unlucky guy Han Fei should be here soon."

Seeing Su Qingfeng's embarrassed expression, Cai Die and the others laughed. They knew that this Lord Wu Xiang wasn't afraid of Zi Nu, but rather cared too much about her. Otherwise, if he truly wanted Nong Yu, he probably would have spoken up long ago, and even if Zi Nu found out later, there would be nothing she could do.

The Great Sui Dynasty, Pegasus Ranch.

After a night of fierce fighting, Pegasus Ranch is on the verge of collapse. The four bandits only need one more attack to completely raz the place to the ground.

Xiang Batian stared fiercely in the direction of the ranch and said to Cao Yinglong, "Brother, we'll take Pegasus Ranch soon. We've lost tens of thousands of men, we have to massacre them here!" Cao Yinglong hadn't expected that a mere Pegasus Ranch could hold out for an entire night and cause them to lose so many elite troops.

He said in a deep voice, "The losses have indeed exceeded expectations. Shang Xiuxun has managed to hold out until now with only a few thousand guards... And that Tao Shusheng, he hasn't made a move at all, could it be that he's been discovered?"

"Something must have happened, otherwise he would have opened the door already."

"Let the brothers rest for half an hour, then we'll break through in one fell swoop." "Yes, brother!"

Inside the ranch, Shang Xiuxun gazed at the few hundred remaining guards, her heart filled with sorrow. She knew that the next attack would mean the ranch's destruction.

She was ashamed to face her mother in the afterlife, knowing that centuries of wealth and power were about to be destroyed by her own hand. At that moment, Shang Zhen, covered in blood, rushed over with a knife and urgently urged, "Master, you must leave with Princess Su Yan! If it weren't for the princess's men finding Tao Shusheng, the ranch would have already fallen. Now, only the princess's troops can protect you as you leave."

Shang Xiuxun gripped her blood-stained sword tightly, her gaze resolute: "Uncle Shang Zhen, I will not leave. My mother is buried in the back mountain, and I swear to live and die with the ranch. Since I cannot protect it, I will be buried here with it."

"Then...could we ask the princess to send troops to help?"

"No need. It's already dawn, and the Li clan will make their move soon. They won't let go of the opportunity to seize the ranch. I'm afraid that after the Four Great Bandits are wiped out, it will be our turn." "The Li clan is so ungrateful! If it weren't for the ranch owner's consistent supply of warhorses at low prices, they would have been wiped out by the ** people long ago!"

"It's only natural for people to act selfishly. I'll go check on that girl Su Yan; she's in such danger, yet she still refuses to leave." "I'll guard this place; don't worry, Master."

High up on the back mountain, Lu Miaozi gazed at the pasture and sighed softly.

Shang Xiuxun's biological father, a master mechanic and the designer of Yang Gong's treasure vault, had a deep frown on his face, looking utterly helpless.

The person Lu Miaozi loved most in his life was Zhu Yuyan of the Yin Kui Sect. Unfortunately, Zhu Yuyan had no feelings for him at all and even injured him with the Heavenly Demon Technique.

After being injured, Lu Miaozi hid in the Pegasus Ranch, where she later developed feelings for the ranch owner, Shang Qingya. The two even had a daughter, Shang Xiuxun.

But Lu Miaozi could never forget Zhu Yuyan, which broke Shang Qingya's heart, ultimately leading to her death in despair. Because of this, Shang Xiuxun harbored a deep resentment towards Lu Miaozi. "Sigh, let's help that girl this time."

When Shang Xiuxun arrived at Su Yan's residence, she saw that the area was surrounded by patrolling black-armored cavalry, and even the small building where Su Yan lived was guarded by layers of guards.

This scene left Shang Xiuxun somewhat helpless. The Pegasus Ranch hadn't even been breached yet, and these black-armored cavalry were being far too cautious. Centurion Liu Teng, seeing Shang Xiuxun, stepped forward and said, "Lord Shang, the Princess hasn't risen yet. Could you please come back later?"

"What time is it? Su Yan still hasn't woken up?" Shang Xiuxun was speechless. She herself hadn't slept all night, while this girl was sleeping like a child, able to sleep so soundly at a time like this. Liu Teng explained somewhat awkwardly:

"Master, the princess only went to bed late last night, so she'll probably get up late today." Shang Xiuxun didn't listen to him any further and went straight into the small building. "I'll go in and call her. The situation at Pegasus Ranch is critical right now, and it's too dangerous for Su Yan to stay here. We must leave immediately."

Liu Teng hurriedly tried to stop her, knowing Princess Su Yan's temper well. If they disturbed her while she was sleeping, everyone would likely suffer. "This... I'm afraid that's inappropriate. The princess is resting. Merchant, please wait."

"Get out of the way! He's about to die, are you guys just going to stand by and watch Su Yan stay in this dangerous place?" Seeing that the general was still blocking her way, Shang Xiuxun pushed Liu Teng aside and went upstairs.

"Shop owner! Shop owner!" Liu Teng followed helplessly behind. He couldn't forcefully stop them, after all, Shang Xiuxun meant well and was a friend of the princess, so it wouldn't be appropriate to resort to violence.

Shang Xiuxun entered the room and saw Su Yan still fast asleep in bed. She shook her head, walked over, and gently nudged Su Yan: "Su Yan, wake up, it's already Chen Shi (7-9 AM), you should get up."

Su Yan was woken up by Shang Xiuxun and vaguely heard her calling her. She lay on the bed with her eyes still closed and mumbled, "Sister Shang, it's so early... I'm still sleepy, let me sleep a little longer."

Seeing her listless appearance, Shang Xiuxun felt helpless, wondering if this girl was like this even at home. She nudged Su Yan again and raised her voice, saying:

"No, get up and wash up quickly, and leave Pegasus Ranch immediately! This place is about to be breached, and it will be too late if we don't leave now."

Su Yan stretched out a small hand and waved: "Don't worry, Sister Shang, everything will be fine. Your Pegasus Ranch will be saved this time, and my army will be here soon."

Shang Xiuxun was stunned. Su Yan's army? When did she mobilize these troops? And what kind of army was it? Were they like those black-armored cavalry? She quickly grabbed Su Yan and asked anxiously:

"What? Your army is arriving? What army? Su Yan, get up and explain yourself!"
