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

Cao Yinglong looked around and loudly gave the order:

"Raise the troops and attack Pegasus Ranch—don't forget the important matters."

"Yes, brother!"

On the city wall of Pegasus Ranch, Su Yan and Shang Xiuxun saw Li Xiuning turn and flee without a second thought upon seeing the Four Bandits' ambush, ignoring even the soldiers who were entangled under her command. Su Yan and Shang Xiuxun felt a surge of disgust.

Just as the four bandits were gathering their forces to attack the ranch, Shang Xiuxun hurriedly asked Su Yan, "Where is the army your aunt sent? Why haven't they shown up yet?"

Su Yan then snapped out of her daze. She had been so focused on watching the battle between the Four Bandits and Li Xiuning's men that she had forgotten to ask where the reinforcements were. She touched her forehead somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh dear, I was so engrossed in watching that I forgot to ask. Liu Kai, come out here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure swiftly appeared in front of Su Yan and bowed, saying, "Secret Guard Liu Kai greets the Princess."

Shang Xiuxun was still blaming Su Yan for not taking the safety of the ranch to heart, but when she saw this person suddenly appear, she almost attacked if the black-armored cavalry around her hadn't not stopped her.

Su Yan asked the guards directly, "Where are the troops my aunt sent?"

"Princess, ten thousand Netherworld Iron Cavalry are nearby, but they have not yet appeared on the battlefield as they have not received your command."

"Order the Netherworld Iron Cavalry to annihilate the armies of the four major bandits below."

"Yes, sir!"

Su Yan waved her hand in front of Shang Xiuxun's eyes, and she snapped out of her daze, shoving Su Yan's hand away. Su Yan asked, amused:

"Sister Shang, what are you daydreaming about?"

Shang Xiuxun was indeed surprised—it was just to pick up one person, yet Su Yan's aunt had sent ten thousand Netherworld Cavalry. She knew all too well how formidable these cavalrymen were: last night, Tao Shusheng had gathered more than six hundred men in a rebellion, but the Black Armor Cavalry had wiped them out with just a hundred riders.

Now that we have 10,000 such iron cavalry, even if the Four Great Bandits don't die, they will never dare to covet the Pegasus Ranch again.

She steadied herself and said to Su Yan:

"After this, you'll have to stay with me for a while. The ranch has suffered too many casualties and is temporarily unable to defend itself. You'll have to guard it for me for a while until I recruit enough guards before you leave. Don't worry, I'll pay you with warhorses."

"Sure, I like it here anyway, so I'll stay a few more days."

Just as they were talking, the four bandits were about to attack the pasture when the sound of galloping hooves suddenly came from afar, growing louder and louder. The four bandits knew something was wrong and hurriedly ordered their troops to turn and meet the approaching cavalry—

Da da da da...

The sound of hooves grew louder and louder, and the four bandits finally spotted the approaching cavalry in the distance. A dark mass of heavily armored cavalry came into view, and the four men gasped in shock—they never expected that tens of thousands of heavy cavalry would appear here.

Upon seeing this, leader Cao Yinglong immediately leaped onto his horse and shouted, "Retreat! Retreat quickly! These are heavily armored cavalry; we can't defeat these black-armored heavy cavalry. Let's get out of here!"

The other three hurriedly mounted their horses, trying to escape the battlefield. These heavily armored cavalrymen were clearly not someone they could afford to mess with. Although they had 50,000 troops under their command, they would only be slaughtered in front of heavy cavalry, and none of them wanted to lose their lives here.

"Crossbow ready—fire!"

Just as the Netherworld Heavy Cavalry was about to catch up with the fleeing Four Bandit Forces, the commander gave an order.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

"Ah—help me, help me!"

"Damn it...help me, I've been shot in the leg!"

"Run! They're monsters! Arrows can't kill them!"

"Run! We can't penetrate their armor!"

After a volley of arrows, the armies of the four bandits fell in droves. The remaining men fled desperately, trying to escape the range of the black-armored heavy cavalry.

"Pistols ready—throw!"

hum!hum!hum!hum!

A long spear shot out, piercing through the fleeing soldiers one after another, with one spear even piercing through two or three people.

This group of black-armored heavy cavalry, as swift as death, terrified the forces of the Four Great Bandits, causing them to scatter and flee. The Netherworld Heavy Cavalry then split into several small squads and charged away.

Shang Xiuxun was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that the force that came to pick up Su Yan this time would be a heavily armored cavalry.

Looking at the Netherworld Heavy Cavalry, Shang Xiuxun's eyes were full of envy—if the Pegasus Ranch could also have 10,000 such black-armored heavy cavalry, which force would dare to covet her in the future?

"Su Yan, let's form an alliance," she suddenly said. "Let these Netherworld Heavy Cavalry stay at Pegasus Ranch, and we'll provide you with 50,000 warhorses every year free of charge."

Eastern Continent, Cold Kingdom

Su Qingfeng was growing impatient. He had assumed that sending Yan Lingji and Zi Nu to fetch Han Fei and Tian Ze would go smoothly, but it was almost noon and no one had arrived. Su Qingfeng was becoming increasingly restless.

Seeing Su Qingfeng moving around on Hong Yu's body, Nongyu knew he was getting impatient, so she gently advised, "Your Majesty, perhaps something unexpected has happened. Let's wait a little longer. It's not noon yet, and there's still some time before the appointed time."

Su Qingfeng glanced at Nongyu and said irritably, "Nongyu, I just can't sit still—I hate waiting for people the most."

Nongyu glanced at Hongyu, whose face was flushed, and knew that Su Qingfeng was being silly again, so she couldn't help but smile. She put down her guqin, got up, and walked over.

"Heh, I didn't see any restlessness on your part. Hongyu and Caidie are treating you like royalty; I think you're having too much fun to remember your homeland." "You can't say that. While such a life is pleasant, it will wear down your fighting spirit in the long run and make you indulge in a life of pleasure."

"Heh, does Your Majesty still have any fighting spirit? You have no manners, and you even need butterflies to feed you. I can't see any fighting spirit in you at all."

Su Qingfeng sat up, embraced Hongyu and Caidie, and laughed, "Hongyu, Caidie, do you think Nongyu has been a bit presumptuous lately? She talks back to me all the time. Should I teach her a lesson?" Caidie smiled and fed Su Qingfeng a sip of wine, saying, "If Your Majesty is willing, then teach her a lesson. But I'm afraid Your Majesty might be reluctant." Su Qingfeng shook his head and drank his wine, "Forget it, a good man doesn't argue with a woman. If she provokes me again in the future, I will definitely discipline her properly."

At this moment, Zhao Kong, the commander of Zi Nu's secret guards, hurriedly entered and bowed: "Your Majesty, something has happened."

Su Qingfeng was taken aback. Who would cause trouble at this time? He looked at the tense-looking guard: "What is it?"

Zhao Kong looked at Su Qingfeng nervously. His guards had been subdued without warning, leaving him both shocked and furious. Now, even the men he was supposed to bring had vanished. Fearing Su Qingfeng would punish the negligent guards, Zhao Kong immediately knelt and said:

"Your Majesty, Su Rongrong and the others, along with Chu Liuxiang and his group, have all disappeared. The secret guards were immobilized in the detached courtyard by acupuncture. This oversight led to the mission's failure. Please punish us, Your Majesty."

Su Qingfeng rose and stared at Zhao Kong for a moment. The secret guards were all elites selected and trained by Jing Ni from the army; they shouldn't be so careless. He stroked his beard and pondered:

"Su Rongrong actually tricked me? This isn't like her at all."

Seeing Zhao Kong prostrate on the ground awaiting punishment, Nongyu felt a pang of pity. The guards had diligently protected Zilan Pavilion for over a month, and she wanted to plead for Zhao Kong. She approached Su Qingfeng and smiled:

"Your Majesty, could it be that Chu Liuxiang forcibly took Su Rongrong away? I don't think Su Rongrong is that kind of woman. Perhaps the guards were ambushed by Chu Liuxiang and his men and were subdued because of their misconduct. Your Majesty need not blame them."

Su Qingfeng rolled his eyes at Nongyu. How could he not know what she was scheming? She was practically begging him to forgive the guards for their dereliction of duty. This silly woman, she couldn't even plead properly. Su Qingfeng thought for a moment; the Suihou Pearl absolutely couldn't escape his sight. To get the pearl, he had to track Chu Liuxiang and his group. So he instructed Zhao Kong, who was kneeling on the ground:

"Order the secret guards to search for Su Rongrong and the others throughout Xinzheng City. I want to see if they betrayed us this time, or if Chu Liuxiang forcibly took them away."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Su Qingfeng did not punish Zhao Kong, Nongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up and saw Hongyu and Caidie looking at her, knowing that they had originally wanted to speak up for Zhao Kong, but she had spoken first.

However… Nongyu felt that Hongyu and Caidie were looking at her strangely. She thought about it carefully but couldn’t figure out what was wrong—she didn’t seem to have said anything wrong just now.

In the city of Xinzheng, a stunningly beautiful woman emerged from a dilapidated palace, followed by a cold-faced man. The man surveyed his surroundings and coldly threatened Yan Lingji:

"Yan Ling Ji, you'd better not try anything funny this time, or you'll suffer a terrible death."

Yan Lingji looked at Tianze, her emotions running high: "Tianze, what did I do wrong that you would abandon me like this?"

Tianze ignored her questioning and answered without hesitation:

"There's no reason. You can think of it as being for the sake of Baiyue. We need to kidnap the Crown Prince of Han, so someone has to distract Ji Wuye and the others. Do you understand now?"

"Heh... Tianze, if you had told me earlier, I would have done it too. I would have been willing to die for Baiyue. I just never expected that you would abandon me like this."

"Isn't it only natural to abandon a few pieces? — Who exactly is this 'ruler'? Can he really persuade Han Fei to cooperate with me?"

"I don't know his background, but neither Han Fei nor Ji Wuye dare to provoke his wife. Han Fei should know his identity; you can ask him later." Yan Lingji had completely given up on Tianze and would no longer work for him. She only hoped that Su Qingfeng could persuade Tianze to remove the Gu poison from her body, so that she could be free.

...No, that bastard Su Qingfeng definitely won't let her go easily. Does that mean I'll be his plaything from now on, imprisoned by his side?

With a troubled mind, Yan Lingji led Tianze to the Purple Orchid Pavilion. The Netherworld Iron Cavalry guards inside immediately became alert upon seeing her enter with a strange man, raising their crossbows and warily pointing them at the man with the cold, menacing aura.

Tianze was secretly astonished to see that these guards all possessed innate cultivation levels—they must be the personal guards of that "Lord," for Zilan Pavilion would never have such a presence. He had developed a certain interest in that Lord.

As soon as Yan Lingji entered the room, she saw Su Qingfeng laughing and playing with three women, and she immediately flew into a rage.

She had searched several hiding places for Tianze and finally found him here. To her surprise, Su Qingfeng was here, embracing two women and drinking and making merry. Yan Lingji saw him with two girls in her arms and a surge of anger rose within her.
