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

"Yan Lingji, I am now Su Qingfeng's wife, and Princess Honglian will be living with us from now on. Release her first, and I will explain everything to you in detail later."

Princess Honglian initially thought Lady Mingzhu had come to rescue her, but upon hearing her words, she was instantly enraged. She never imagined that Lady Mingzhu would dare betray her father. Honglian angrily shouted at Lady Mingzhu:

"Lady Mingzhu! You are my father's wife. When did you become Su Qingfeng's woman? Have you betrayed my father?"

Madam Mingzhu walked to Honglian's side, released her pressure points, and handed her a letter after she had dressed.

"Read the letter, and you'll understand."

"What? How is this possible... Why does Father want me to go with Su Qingfeng? I don't need his protection at all! No, I have to ask Father!"

Honglian was stunned after reading the letter written by the King of Han. She hadn't expected her father to order her to leave Han with Wu Xiangjun Su Qingfeng and to obey Su Qingfeng's arrangements from now on. The letter didn't even explain the reason, and Honglian found it hard to accept. She turned around and rushed out of the room, eager to find her father and ask him for clarification.

Seeing Honglian run away with a pale face, Yan Lingji asked Lady Mingzhu in confusion:

"What happened? Why did that little princess leave in such a hurry? What does this have to do with Su Qingfeng?"

Lady Mingzhu approached with graceful steps and replied with a smile:

"You can wait for Su Qingfeng to return and ask him yourself. Yan Lingji, there's no need to be hostile towards me. Although I am Su Qingfeng's wife, he already has three or four women by his side. You probably won't escape it in the future either—with Su Qingfeng's lewd nature, how could he let someone as lewd as you get away with it? Now we and Zi Nu are both in the Korean camp, so we may need to look after each other in the future."

Yan Lingji's cheeks flushed slightly as she listened, but she forced herself to remain calm and said:

"I'm not that guy's woman, and I never will be. You can leave now."

"Hehe, then I'll take my leave. Yan Lingji, you might want to think carefully about what I just said. If you've figured it out, you can come find me and Zi Nu anytime."

In another room of the Purple Orchid Pavilion, Hu**, Madam Hu, and Nongyu remained silent. Madam Hu and Nongyu were still shocked by the news Hu** had just revealed—the King of Han had actually given his own wife to Lord Wu Xiang. Their gazes towards Hu** were filled with sympathy, but also with secret worry, fearing that one day she too might be given away by the King of Han to someone else.

Nongyu gently grasped Hu**'s hand and said with concern:

"Aunt, you can't go back to the Cold King's Palace. Since the Cold King can send away one lady, he might send away another. It's too dangerous for you to go back. What if the Cold King gives you to Ji Wuye in the future? You'll suffer a fate worse than death." Madam Hu paced anxiously in the room. The three of them had finally reunited; if something happened to her sister again, she truly didn't know how to save her. Hearing Nongyu's words, she said to her sister, Madam Hu:

"Sister, what do you plan to do now? I think Nongyu is right. But if we do this, I'm afraid it will anger Prince Han, and then it might cause trouble for Zilan Pavilion." Hu** was also in a dilemma at this moment. She knew that it was time to make a decision.

In the past, she used Baiyue witchcraft to bewitch King Han in the Han Palace, but this witchcraft could not control him forever.

If one day the Prince of Han really decides to give her away, then she will probably be finished.

"Alas, I understand I can't go back to the Cold King's Palace. Although Nongyu told me that Zilan Pavilion and Ninth Prince Han Fei will no longer cooperate, ever since the Cold King gave Lady Mingzhu to Lord Wu Xiang—even though Lady Mingzhu and Lord Wu Xiang agreed to the Cold King's conditions in exchange—I'm still worried that if this precedent is set, the Cold King will give away his wives at will in the future. If he really gives me to Ji Wuye, I'm afraid I'd rather be dead." Nongyu thought of Su Qingfeng and hurriedly said, "Auntie, I'll go and beg Lord Wu Xiang in a little while."

Hu** shook his head upon hearing this. Lord Wu Xiang had just received Lady Mingzhu from Prince Han; if he were to ask Prince Han for her now, it would likely enrage him. Besides, he had no connection with Lord Wu Xiang; Lady Mingzhu was, after all, his woman, while he was nothing.

Hu** and Wu Xiangjun had never even spoken a word to each other, so why would he risk helping her? Did he expect her to become Wu Xiangjun's wife? Hu** shook her head, rejecting the idea; she felt it was simply impossible.

With a sorrowful expression, she gently stroked Nongyu's hair and said, "Nongyu, this is no small matter. Lord Wu Xiang just asked Prince Han for a wife. If you help me again, even if Prince Han is very tolerant, he will probably be angry."

"I'll go find Sister Zi Nu; she'll definitely have a solution," Nong Yu said.

After Su Qingfeng returned to Zilan Pavilion with Yingge, Madam Mingzhu told him that the little princess of Han Kingdom had left. When Madam Mingzhu saw Yingge from the Hundred Birds Organization returning with Su Qingfeng, she knew that she was a spy planted by Ji Wuye next to Su Qingfeng.

Madam Mingzhu gave Yingge a meaningful look and winked at Su Qingfeng.

Su Qingfeng saw Madam Mingzhu wink at him, and felt somewhat helpless. Did he not know Yingge was a slut? Su Qingfeng shook his head and said to Madam Mingzhu:

"Mingzhu, this Yingge was sent by Ji Wuye. Take her down and make arrangements."

"Yes, my husband."

Madam Mingzhu smiled and agreed, then waved to Yingge and led her away.

She knew perfectly well that Su Qingfeng had entrusted the female leader of the Hundred Birds to her precisely so that he could use her to win over Yingge. Once Yingge submitted, it would be easier to recruit the women of the Hundred Birds under her command in the future.

Su Qingfeng watched the two walk away. Just as he picked up his teacup, Yan Lingji walked into the room with an angry expression.

He spoke with a smile:

"Flame, why are you looking so angry? I haven't done anything to you these past two days."

Yan Lingji sat down next to Su Qingfeng, her tone annoyed:

"You rascal, it's so hard to see me! I've come several times today and still can't find you... When are you going to let me go?"

"You can leave now."

"What? You're kicking me out now? I... I haven't... I'm not leaving!"

Yan Lingji was stunned for a moment, not expecting Su Qingfeng to agree so readily. Did he think he could just throw her away now that he had so many women around him?

Su Qingfeng was puzzled by her intense reaction:

What's wrong with Flame Baby today? I was just saying it casually; I wouldn't actually let her go.

He coughed lightly and asked tentatively:

"Flame Baby, did you suffer some mistreatment today? No one in Purple Orchid Pavilion should be able to bully you... Could it be that you've started your period?"

"you**!"

Yan Lingji raised her hand to hit him, but Su Qingfeng pulled her into his arms.

"You pounced on me yourself," Su Qingfeng chuckled.

Yan Lingji's figure was not as voluptuous as Mingzhu's, but it was well-proportioned and beautiful. When he embraced her, she immediately struggled:

"Let me go!"

Su Qingfeng instead hugged her even tighter, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder:

Do you think I'll release it?

Yan Lingji blushed, their posture intimate like lovers. Inhaling his scent, she leaned against his chest, both shy and annoyed, and whispered a curse:

"Rogue...scoundrel."

Su Qingfeng wrapped one arm around her slender waist and stroked her hair with the other, then turned to the main topic:

"By the way, go tell Zi Nu that the Luo Wang people are nearby. If any strange woman enters Zi Lan Xuan, tell her to capture her immediately. You should also go and help your sister Zi Nu."

"I know...she's not my sister." Yan Lingji muttered, turning her face away.

Yan Lingji nodded after listening to Su Qingfeng's words. She knew that if the Luo Net really came after Zi Lanxuan, they had to be wary of those elusive spies.

Upon hearing Su Qingfeng tell her to call Zi Nu "sister," Yan Ling Ji's cheeks flushed, and she glared at him irritably. She understood perfectly well what he meant—"From now on, you will."

"You wish! I'm not going to date you," Yan Lingji said, turning her head away.

Su Qingfeng laughed, "That's not up to you to decide."

Meanwhile, in the Pegasus Ranch of the Great Sui Dynasty in the Southern Continent.

Ever since defeating the four bandits, Shang Xiuxun had been pestering Su Yan, trying to keep her Netherworld Heavy Armor Cavalry on the ranch. But no matter how she tried to persuade her, Su Yan remained unyielding, which greatly frustrated Shang Xiuxun.

That day, she sat listlessly in the hall, unable even to muster the energy to bake her favorite pastries. Just then, Shang Zhen rushed in from outside, saying urgently:

"Owner, I've found out everything!"

Shang Xiuxun immediately sat up straight: "Tell me quickly, who exactly is Su Yan's father?"

Seeing how attentive she was, Shang Zhen couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the owner of the arena was planning to get close to that Lord Wu Xiang in order to keep the cavalry?

However, Wu Xiangjun is indeed a good candidate. If the owner can marry him, it will definitely be of great benefit to Pegasus Ranch.

"Master, Princess Su Yan's father is the Martial Hero of the Great Song Dynasty. The south of the Great Song is now entirely under his control, and his army of over 300,000 is advancing on Dali. The fall of Dali is likely only a matter of time..."

Shang Xiuxun interrupted him helplessly: "Su Yan already told me all this. What I want to know is about Lord Wu Xiang himself, and his power in the Sui Dynasty."

Seeing that she wouldn't stop asking, Shang Zhen smiled and said:

"Master, you may have heard of Wu Xiangjun—half of the women on the list of beauties in the martial arts world are connected to him in some way."

"So it was him!" Shang Xiuxun suddenly realized, no wonder the title "Lord Wu Xiang" sounded familiar.

She immediately lost all goodwill towards this Lord Wu Xiang. Being entangled with so many women, he must be a lecherous man.

She had originally wanted to meet Su Yan's father, but now she completely abandoned that idea. If he really was that kind of person, wouldn't going there be like walking into a trap? She, Shang Xiuxun, wasn't that foolish.

Looking out the window at the heavily armored Netherworld cavalry, Shang Xiuxun sighed softly—there was probably no hope of keeping them alive.

But if Su Yan led the heavy cavalry away, the Li clan and the Four Great Bandits would definitely still keep their eyes on the Pegasus Ranch. Shang Xiuxun felt troubled at this thought. Did she really have to beg that lecherous man for help?

Seeing the owner's displeasure, Shang Zhen knew that his earlier words had led her to misunderstand Wu Xiangjun as a lecherous man, so he quickly added:

"Master, Lord Wu Xiang also wields considerable power in the Sui Dynasty, and the most elite Xiaoguo Army is currently under his command."

"Moreover, he has close ties with both the Yin Kui Sect of the Demonic Cult and the Cihang Jingzhai of the Righteous Path. When Wu Xiangjun went missing recently, both sects sent many people to search for him."

"Even the Dugu family, one of the four great clans, is helping. Yang Lin, the Prince of Luoyang, has even sent troops into the city to search for him. The power behind Wu Xiangjun is not to be underestimated."
