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

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng took the letter and began to read it. A moment later, his expression changed—he hadn't expected this Lord Wu Xiang to know so much, some of which was exactly the same as what he already knew. It seemed Lord Wu Xiang was extremely knowledgeable about the various states of the Eastern Continent.

What surprised Ying Zheng even more was that Lord Wu Xiang had revealed so many secrets to him for the sake of a woman from the Luo Wang organization. It seemed he cared deeply about that Luo Wang defector. However, this matter wasn't particularly difficult for him to handle.

After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng asked Wang Hu:

"Commander Wang, what is Jing Ni's relationship with your Lord Wu Xiang now?"

"Your Majesty, Lady Jingni is now the Lady of my lord."

Wang Hu answered quickly. Jing Ni was already the principal wife of Wu Xiangjun, and moreover, she was a Grandmaster-level expert. Wang Hu held her in some awe, and he had also received guidance from her in his martial arts.

"Lady Jun? So, Jing Ni is Lord Wu Xiang's legal wife?"

Ying Zheng was somewhat surprised that a defector from the Luo Wang (a secret police organization) had become the wife of the Wu Xiang Jun (a high-ranking official) of the Song Dynasty. This was a meteoric rise.

"That's right. My lord currently has only one wife, Lady Jingni."

"How old is your Lord Wu Xiang?"

"Not yet twenty, he should be about the same age as Your Majesty, King of Qin."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel curious about Wu Xiangjun, Su Qingfeng. He hadn't expected someone his age to know so much, and who seemed to possess considerable ability.

He looked at Wang Hu and said:

"Commander Wang, go back and tell Lord Wu Xiang that I will take care of this for him. The Net will not make things difficult for Jing Ni in the future. However, I hope Lord Wu Xiang can do me another favor."

"King of Qin, please speak."

With a hint of expectation, Ying Zheng said to Wang Hu:

"I hope Lord Wu Xiang can dispatch 20,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry to help me for a year. Don't worry, I won't let them fight on the battlefield."

"As you probably know, I have not yet assumed full power, and the Qin state is not at peace. Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry are stationed on the border to guard against the wolf tribes, and I do not currently have an army that I can fully control. Therefore, I need a reliable army."

Ying Zheng knew that the day he would assume personal rule was fast approaching, but he wasn't sure if trouble would arise on that day. Who could say for sure whether Lü Buwei would relinquish power? He could only make preparations as early as possible.

Wang Hu was startled by the King of Qin's words. He hadn't expected that a ruler of a nation would need to borrow troops from abroad; it seemed that the King of Qin was not in a position to make the decision at the moment.

Wang Hu immediately reported to the King of Qin:

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and I must report back to my lord."

Ying Zheng nodded:

"I understand. I can wait for news. Regardless of whether Lord Wu Xiang agrees or not, I will take care of Lady Jing Ni's matter for him. If he helps me this time, I will repay him in the future."

"I will send a message by carrier pigeon as soon as possible to inform Your Majesty."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Wang Hu bowed and withdrew hastily, eager to report the matter to Lord Wu Xiang.

After seeing Wang Hu off, Meng Tian returned to Ying Zheng's study. He wondered: Why did the King of Qin show no reaction after reading the letter? Could it be that there was no useful information in it?

When Ying Zheng saw Meng Tian return, he looked at the map expressionlessly and said:

"Meng Tian, ​​it seems we underestimated Lord Wu Xiang."

Meng Tian bowed and replied:

"Your Majesty, Lord Wu Xiang's Netherworld Iron Cavalry is probably quite numerous. You asked to borrow 20,000, and Wang Hu's expression didn't even change. I estimate that the Netherworld Iron Cavalry is no less than 50,000."

"Hmm. But with such a powerful army, why doesn't he help the Song Dynasty? Does Lord Wu Xiang have other plans?"

"I don't know. We know too little about the Southern Continent."

Ying Zheng gave Meng Tian a few instructions and then dismissed him. After a moment of contemplation, Ying Zheng said to the person beside him:

"Gai Nie, if Lord Wu Xiang agrees to lend us troops this time, what should I do with him in the future?"

A young man emerged from the shadows and answered:

"Your Majesty, this is something you need to consider after you assume full power. Right now, the most important thing is to smoothly assume power. Just now, Wang Hu already sensed my presence; he is also a grandmaster-level expert."

Ying Zheng put down the letter in his hand:

"I know. Lord Wu Xiang... It seems I'll have to meet him sometime. His army is definitely more than this; the Netherworld Iron Cavalry number no less than 50,000, and his infantry must be quite numerous as well."

"Does Your Majesty wish to borrow troops from him again?"

King Ying Zheng of Qin did consider borrowing more troops, but then he thought that too many troops would be difficult to conceal, so he abandoned the idea. As long as Lord Wu Xiang was willing to lend him 20,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry, that would be enough.

"No need, it's not easy to hide with so many soldiers."

"It is indeed not easy to hide."

Suzhou, Great Song Dynasty

These past few days, Su Qingfeng finally finished making the soap. He sat by the lake fishing, but his mind was on Jingni—he kept running to her place, hoping to take their relationship to the next level.

But every time it came to a crucial moment, Su Yan would always appear, making Su Qingfeng wonder: Is this kid deliberately trying to cause trouble?

While sitting in a daze, Su Qingfeng suddenly realized that another month had passed.

"System, can I claim the treasure chest now?"

"Ding! Host can claim a treasure chest."

"Receive it now."

"Ding! Treasure chest obtained, stored in system space."

"Open."

"Ding! Treasure chest opened. Congratulations, host, you have obtained three teleportation fragments."

Su Qingfeng looked at the fragments in the system space, a little curious: "Teleportation fragments? What's the use of these?"

"Ding! The fragments can grant the host the ability to teleport. One fragment allows free movement within ten meters, two fragments allow one hundred meters, and three fragments allow one thousand meters. As the number of fragments increases, the distance will also increase accordingly."

"Wow! This is a huge windfall!" Su Qingfeng thought with delight. With three fragments, he could move freely within a kilometer range—this was practically a life-saving divine skill! Even if he encountered martial arts masters in the future, they wouldn't be a threat to him.

He quickly retrieved a fragment. The fragment glowed white, and Su Qingfeng asked the system, "How do I use this?"

"It will be absorbed once applied to the forehead."

Su Qingfeng immediately did as instructed. The fragments vanished instantly, and he felt a surge of energy, as if he had complete control over the area within ten meters around him, able to come and go as he pleased.

His body seemed to have changed as well; he was no longer as frail as before, but rather much stronger. After examining himself, Su Qingfeng decided to use the remaining two.

Meanwhile, Huang Rong had been in Suzhou for several days.

In three days, it will be the Northern Beggars' Gang's grand meeting. The city is full of martial arts practitioners, and even many grandmasters have come.

However, the garrison of Gusu showed no mercy to these people, shooting them dead with crossbows if they resisted arrest. After several such incidents, the Jianghu people became much more restrained, and the people were very grateful to Lord Wu Xiang.

After wandering around the city for a few days, Huang Rong gradually grew to like it. Suzhou was not only prosperous, but the people there also lived much better lives than elsewhere.

Huang Rong was genuinely surprised that Su Qingfeng could govern Gusu City so well, which improved her impression of him. However, she was still somewhat annoyed when she thought about the things Su Qingfeng had said to her.

On the streets of Gusu City, a little girl was strolling around with two pretty maids. They were Su Yan, A Zhu, and A Bi.

A'Zhu smiled and said to Su Yan:

"**, you disturb the Emperor and his wife every time you go. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Emperor?"

Su Yan looked completely unconcerned:

"What am I afraid of? It's his fault for letting Duan Yu go without asking me. I caught that man myself. Father let him go without asking me. If I don't cause him some trouble, he'll definitely do it again in the future."

Azhu gently advised:

"But Duan Yu was also imprisoned for a month. Besides, His Majesty obtained quite a few martial arts manuals from him. Releasing him wouldn't be a loss."

Su Yan was still sulking:

"That won't do! Duan Yu even tried to teach me a lesson back then. If it weren't for the guards, I'm afraid I would have really been bullied by him."

She then turned to Azhu and Abi and said:

"You two need to practice your martial arts diligently, because we'll be going out to play later. If your martial arts skills aren't up to par, I won't dare take you out."

"Yes, we understand."

Azhu and Abi have been practicing the martial arts manual that Su Qingfeng brought back, which was also Su Yan's request. She felt that her maids should also become experts so that they could help her in the future if anything happened.

As Su Yan was speaking, she was suddenly bumped into and almost fell.

She glared at the woman who had bumped into her and asked angrily:

"Hey, why aren't you watching where you're going?"

"**, are you alright?"

Azhu and Abi quickly helped Su Yan up; they hadn't expected someone to suddenly appear.

Huang Rong was watching the commotion on the street when she bumped into a little girl. She was about to apologize when the girl questioned her first, which displeased her, so she said:

"Weren't you looking where you were going either?"

Su Yan looked up and took a closer look, and found that the woman was extremely beautiful, no less so than her mother and Aunt Yu Yan. She was slightly taken aback.

"You bumped into me first! We were walking straight ahead, didn't you see me?"

Seeing that the girl was exquisitely dressed and had a beautiful and intelligent appearance, Huang Rong replied:

"You keep walking straight ahead, don't you see me in front of you?"

Su Yan was a little annoyed and said in a threatening tone:

"If you keep arguing like this, believe me, I'll arrest you right now!"

Huang Rong reached out and gently patted Su Yan's head, smiling as she said:

"Little girl, do you think you and these two maids can catch me? Anyway, you're not hurt, so go home."

Su Yan shoved the pretty woman aside and said irritably, "How annoying! Azhu, Abi, let's go, let's ignore this unreasonable behavior."

She could tell that the other party was a martial arts practitioner, and that Azhu and Abi had only recently begun learning martial arts and were no match for him. Since she hadn't suffered any losses, she didn't want to get entangled any further.

Just as she was about to leave, a kind-looking, burly man suddenly blocked the way for the beautiful woman.

Su Yuan thought the big man was there to cause trouble, so he and A Zhu stopped to watch and see what was going on.

"Rong'er, I've finally found you!" the burly man exclaimed.

When Huang Rong saw that it was Guo Jing, she said helplessly, "Guo Jing, what do you want with me? Also, don't call me Rong'er, we're not that close."

Guo Jing scratched his head and smiled, "Um... Huang Rong, the Northern Beggars' Sect's grand meeting is in three days. I've come to find you to go together."

Huang Rong noticed that the girl beside her hadn't left yet and was watching them with great interest, so she hurriedly said to Guo Jing, "I can go by myself, you should go now."

Guo Jing stood still and chuckled, "I've been looking for you for days. My master has already gone to Xingzilin. Come with me now, or you might not be able to get in when there are more people in a few days."

Huang Rong wished he would disappear immediately—that wretched little girl was clearly laughing at her.

"No need, I have my own way. You should go now."

Seeing that she was repeatedly trying to drive him away, Guo Jing shouted anxiously, "Huang Rong, do you like that Wu Xiangjun? Let me tell you, he's no good! He's ruthless! You saw what happened a few days ago; he even executed the surrendered assassins. Don't associate with that kind of person!"

Su Yan couldn't listen anymore. He had only wanted to see the beautiful woman embarrassed, but the conversation had somehow escalated to involve her father.

This beautiful woman named Huang Rong is actually related to her father? Su Yan's eyes immediately turned unfriendly—her mother is not with her father yet, if Huang Rong gets involved, wouldn't her mother's position be in danger?

She clenched her little fists and walked up to Guo Jing: "Hey, you big oaf, if you dare to speak ill of Lady Wu again, believe me, I'll have someone beat you up!"

Guo Jing looked down at the young girl and replied honestly, "Ah, young lady, I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying."

Su Yan glared at him and spoke up to remind him.
