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

Su Qingfeng stared at the alluring Madam Mingzhu for a moment, then teleported behind her and grabbed her waist before she could react.

Suddenly, Madam Mingzhu was embraced. She hurriedly reached behind her, pulled out her hairpin, and stabbed it at Su Qingfeng behind her. But before she could hit him, the person disappeared.

Just as Madam Mingzhu was cautiously looking around, Su Qingfeng appeared behind her again and hugged her once more.

Lady Mingzhu was both anxious and angry. She turned to attack, but still missed. This happened several times in succession. Su Qingfeng was clearly toying with her. He knew that the Tide Demoness was not easy to subdue. Only by instilling fear in her first would she be easier to deal with in the future.

"Tide Fairy, stop hitting me, or I'll tear your clothes to shreds."

"Who are you? This is the Cold King's Palace, I am the Cold King's wife. Get out of here if you don't want to die!"

This time, Su Qingfeng held Madam Mingzhu tightly and wouldn't let go. Seeing her raise her hairpin to stab, he quickly twisted her wrist.

Seeing Madam Mingzhu's helpless expression, Su Qingfeng smiled. Her face flushed red, further confirming his guess—she was indeed still a virgin. This seductive vixen was truly cunning; she hadn't let anyone notice anything amiss all these years. Could it be that she lost her virginity herself?

Lady Mingzhu was both ashamed and furious, wishing she could bite the man behind her to death. Not only was he holding her tightly, but his grip was so strong that he almost broke her wrist, showing no mercy whatsoever.

What alarmed her even more was how this person knew she was the Tide Demoness? What was his true identity? And what did he intend to do by infiltrating the Cold King's palace?

Su Qingfeng released her grip, her tone laced with threat:

"Ha, Lady Han? Prince Han is fast asleep, wrapped in his blankets. He must be under your spell, bewitched by your charms. You vixen, if word gets out, do you think Prince Han will still acknowledge you as his wife?"

"You think anyone's going to believe your nonsense? You bastard, go to hell!"

As the succubus spoke, she suddenly flung out a handful of arrows, aiming them at Su Qingfeng. This was a surprise attack; she was confident her opponent couldn't dodge it.

Su Qingfeng had long been wary of the ruthless Chao Nv Yao. Seeing her raise her hand to sprinkle the powder, he immediately waved his sleeve to block it. The powder landed all over Chao Nv Yao's face. Su Qingfeng found it amusing and deliberately asked, "What kind of medicine is this? Is it the one you used to control the King of Han?"

Lady Mingzhu never imagined that the potent aphrodisiac powder she had concocted would end up all over her body. The drug was incredibly potent, and there was no antidote. Her face, already flushed, turned even redder. Thinking of the shameful things that might happen next, she steeled herself, grabbed her hairpin, and plunged it into her heart—even in death, she would preserve her purity.

"Ugh... this damned drug... I'll haunt you even when I'm dead!"

Su Qingfeng hadn't expected her to attempt suicide and hurriedly knocked her hairpin away. Seeing the increasingly strange expression on Chao Nu Yao's face, he suddenly realized: "Is there no antidote for this drug?"

"What...what a load of rubbish! Come...with me..."

"What? Where are you taking me?"

Without a word, Madam Mingzhu grabbed Su Qingfeng and rushed into the room next door. Once inside, she pressed a button, and a hidden door appeared in the wall, revealing a secret chamber inside.

Before Su Qingfeng could even get a good look at the lavish decor of the secret room, she was suddenly tackled to the ground by the Tide Demoness.

"Tide Fairy! What are you doing! I... I'm doomed!"

Outside Madam Hu's residence, a woman in purple, her face veiled, stood guard at the gate with her Netherworld Iron Cavalry. Inside, the sounds of fighting grew louder and louder.

She knew the city guards would arrive soon, but with the Black Dragon Token given to her by Su Qingfeng, she figured the Korean army wouldn't dare to force their way in.

Holding the token, Zi Nu felt a pang of sorrow—if a token from Qin could instill fear in Han, was this country truly beyond saving?

dong dong dong...

The sound of hurried footsteps grew louder as the city guards approached.

A general on horseback urged loudly, "Hurry! The assassin must be up ahead! Whoever captures the thief who tried to assassinate the Qin envoy will be richly rewarded by the General!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

He had just rushed to the gate of the mansion when three arrows suddenly struck the ground in front of him. The general was startled and looked up—he saw hundreds of black-armored cavalrymen standing solemnly before the gate, exuding a chilling aura.

"Who dares to send Qin troops... Qin soldiers? How could there be Qin troops in Xinzheng?!"

The general on horseback turned pale and was so frightened that he tumbled off his horse.

The thousands of Han soldiers guarding the city stared in terror at the black-armored cavalry before them. They never expected Qin troops to appear in Xinzheng; many panicked, wondering if Qin had already invaded.

Seeing that thousands of Han soldiers were intimidated by a mere six hundred black-armored cavalry, Zi Nu was utterly disillusioned with the Han Kingdom. From the soldiers' performance, she knew that the Han Kingdom was truly beyond saving.

Zi Nu pointed to the city guard general and said expressionlessly, "Come here."

The city guard general had just gotten up from the ground when he saw a veiled woman pointing at him. He stammered, "Madam... I'm just a lowly city guard general. Perhaps... I should go and inform the Grand General?"

Seeing his timid and cowardly demeanor, Zi Nu felt helpless. She had only intended to explain her purpose to the general, but she hadn't expected him to be so frightened. Her tone turned cold: "Come here."

"Yes, yes! I'm coming right now!"

The general hurried forward. Zi Nu tossed him a black dragon token. The general caught it and was so frightened that he almost dropped it—it was the Qin Kingdom's Black Dragon Token, the highest-ranking token that could mobilize troops and launch wars.

He looked up at the veiled woman, his heart filled with surprise and doubt: Who exactly is she? How could she possess the Qin Black Dragon Token?

"Madam...madam, may I ask...what brings you to Xinzheng in Han Kingdom?"

Seeing that he was terrified, Zi Nu commanded:

"My men are apprehending a wanted criminal in this mansion. Your city guards should stand watch on the perimeter and not allow anyone to escape from the mansion. You should know the consequences if you let even one go."

Upon hearing that it was merely an arrest and not a Qin attack on Han, the city guard general breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a war between the two countries, he didn't care why Qin troops were there. He had long heard of the legend of the Black Dragon Token and dared not offend this lady.

He immediately straightened his back and assured her, "Madam, rest assured, we will absolutely not allow the wanted criminals in the manor to escape!"

"Go and set up defenses; don't allow anyone to enter or leave."

"yes!"

Madam Hu's residence

Hu Tiehua had been captured, and Chu Liuxiang was gradually losing his ability to fight back under Wei Zhuang's offensive. His lightness skill was now useless—if he tried to create distance, the Netherworld Iron Cavalry's Qi-piercing crossbows would rain down upon him. After being hit by several arrows, Chu Liuxiang dared not stray far from Wei Zhuang and could only struggle to stay close and maneuver.

Wei Zhuang looked at the notorious thief before him and shook his head slightly. After some probing, he discovered that apart from his exceptional lightness skill, the man's other abilities were unremarkable, so he decided not to waste any more time on him. "Sweep Across Eight Directions!"

Wei Zhuang unleashed his strongest killing move at Chu Liuxiang, and in an instant, sword energy surged forth from all directions, attacking Chu Liuxiang.

boom!

Although Chu Liuxiang reacted quickly and tried to dodge, he was still a step too late. The supreme skill of Guigu Horizontal Sword was beyond his ability to withstand. The Shark Tooth Sword pierced his body, and Chu Liuxiang immediately fell to the ground, bleeding profusely and unconscious.

Wei Zhuang sheathed his sword and ordered the surrounding Netherworld Iron Cavalry, who were on guard, "The man is still alive. Take him away." "Yes, sir!"

Several cavalrymen stepped forward, subdued Chu Liuxiang, and treated his wounds to prevent him from bleeding to death.

Seeing that Chu Liuxiang had also been captured, Ji Bingyan knew he couldn't hold out for long—his shoulder had already been severely injured by the cold-faced man, and further fighting would be pointless. He remained puzzled: these people were neither members of the Mohist or the Farmer's School, nor had they come with Hou Zhu, so why were they so determined to be captured?

"Cough... I surrender, I'm not fighting anymore," Ji Bingyan said.

Tianze glanced at the defeated man and said disdainfully, "Useless trash. Men, seize him." "Yes!"

With the mission accomplished, Wei Zhuang and Tian Ze exchanged a glance before turning to leave. Chu Liuxiang and the others were left to Zi Nu's disposal; they only needed to wait three days for Han Fei's release and for Tian Ze to obtain the antidote. They trusted that Lord Wu Xiang would not break his promise.

Seeing that all the thieves had been captured, Nongyu said to Commander Wang, "Commander Wang, take these people out and hand them over to Zinu for her to arrange. I'm going to visit my mother."

"Miss Nongyu, I will leave two hundred cavalrymen here to protect you. I will then go and report back to the Madam." "Thank you."

After thanking her, Nongyu headed towards her mother's room. She had noticed her mother and a woman observing each other from the shadows earlier, and now she wanted to find out who the woman was.

Su Rongrong and the others stood silently in the room, gazing in the direction where Chu Liuxiang had been taken away. Song Tian'er asked anxiously, "Sister Rongrong, are we really not going to save Brother Chu and the others?"

Su Rongrong's expression darkened. She hadn't expected Su Qingfeng's army to ignore them after capturing them, and she was filled with confusion. Her gaze fell on the Suihou Pearl inside the room; she almost wanted to smash it—if it weren't for this Chu Kingdom treasure, perhaps things wouldn't have come to this. She looked expressionlessly at Song Tian'er: "..."

"Tian'er, how should we save them? This time, Lord Wu Xiang is here because we broke our promise. But why haven't they come to arrest us? Do they think we're insignificant, or did they never trust us at all?" Li Hongxiu said, sitting in a chair and taking a sip of tea.

"I'm afraid he doesn't take us seriously at all. Last time when we begged Lord Wu Xiang to save Chu Liuxiang, I could tell he looked down on Chu Liuxiang, and even disliked him a bit." "Now that this has happened, Chu Liuxiang and the others are probably in grave danger. Even if Lord Wu Xiang doesn't kill them, he'll most likely hand them over to the State of Chu." Li Hongxiu no longer even calls him "Brother Chu." After this incident, she understands why Chu Liuxiang wouldn't let them leave.

Chu Liuxiang treated them as his personal property. Although he didn't do anything to them, he would definitely expect them to continue working for him.

Sister Rongrong's medical skills and disguise abilities, my experience in the martial arts world and familiarity with various schools of martial arts, Tian'er's excellent cooking skills and her meticulous care for Chu Liuxiang—these are all indispensable for Chu Liuxiang's adventures in the martial arts world.

After this experience, Li Hongxiu finally saw Chu Liuxiang for who he really was. Just as Wu Xiangjun said, Chu Liuxiang was able to steal treasures at will in the Ming Dynasty entirely because of his master's support. Now that he's in another country, Chu Liuxiang should understand why he wasn't hunted down by the Ming court before.

When Su Rongrong heard Li Hongxiu address Chu Liuxiang that way, she knew that Li Hongxiu, like herself, had guessed why Chu Liuxiang wouldn't let them leave. "Hongxiu, you...?"
