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

"Aunt Li, reply to Wang Hu and tell him that I agree to the King of Qin's request for troops. Twenty thousand Netherworld Iron Cavalry will then head to Qin. Please ask the King of Qin to send someone to the border to meet them."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Su Qingfeng said to Madam Wang with certainty:

"Don't worry, I know a bit about the Qin Dynasty. Investing in King Ying Zheng this time won't be a mistake. Ask your mother about the current situation in the Eastern Continent as well."

When Madam Wang saw that Su Qingfeng hadn't caught a single fish all day, she couldn't help but laugh:

"Okay. You can continue fishing. I'll go check if Yu Yan has finished her training."

Su Qingfeng said helplessly:

"I was just thinking about things; the fishing was just for show."

"Whatever you want."

After Madam Wang left, Su Qingfeng shook his head. This Madam Wang was now excessively concerned for him, personally overseeing everything, even choosing the tea he drank. However, with her managing things, the Wu Xiangjun residence was indeed much more orderly than before, and Su Qingfeng was happy to have her put his mind at ease.

He could tell that Madam Wang genuinely cared for him. However, Su Qingfeng couldn't understand what kind of relationship his predecessor had with Madam Wang when he was a child, that would make this ruthless woman take such good care of him.

松鹤楼

Su Yan entered Songhelou Restaurant and went straight to her usual seat. This seat was reserved for her by the restaurant and could not be occupied by anyone else. The owner knew Su Yan's identity—she was the daughter of Princess Wu Xiangjun, the lord of Gusu City, and naturally dared not neglect her.

"Waiter, bring us some good dishes."

"Okay, just a moment, it'll be right there!"

Seeing Huang Rong sit down opposite him, Su Yan said irritably:

"What brings you here? This is my seat; I didn't offer you a seat."

She hadn't expected Huang Rong to follow her all the way here, and at this moment she didn't want to see this overly clever woman at all; she just hoped she would stay far away from her.

Huang Rong, however, didn't care at all:

"Hey, little girl, what's our relationship? I might be your stepmother someday, so this is a good opportunity for us to get to know each other better."

Su Yan glared angrily:

"Don't talk nonsense! My dad would never marry someone as crazy as you."

Huang Rong raised her fist, pretending to scare him:

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe your dad likes someone like me. If I really marry into the family in the future, he'll definitely take good care of you."

"You...you dare!"

Su Yan wasn't sure either. Huang Rong was exceptionally beautiful; if her father really fell for her, her future would be difficult.

Seeing her pale face, Huang Rong couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Hehe, just kidding! I wouldn't even look at your old-fashioned father."

Su Yan then realized she had been tricked and gave her an annoyed look.

"It's best if you don't like it. Now you can leave, right? I don't want anything to do with you."

Huang Rong leaned closer and hurriedly said:

"Don't be so heartless. I'm penniless right now. You can treat me to this meal."

Su Yan's eyes darted around, and a sly smile appeared on his face:

"I'll treat you to a meal, but you have to tell me how you know my father."

"Okay, I'll tell you after I've eaten."

Huang Rong readily agreed. After all, her relationship with Su Qingfeng was completely innocent, so there was no harm in telling him.

At this moment, Su Yan noticed that Guo Jing was still gazing intently at Huang Rong, so he pointed at him:

"Huang Rong, your silly follower is still watching you. It seems he's deeply in love with you, why don't you just marry him?"

Huang Rong glanced at Guo Jing beside her, feeling a surge of annoyance. She hadn't expected this simpleton to follow her all this way, and she felt an urge to punch him. Turning her head away from him, she said irritably to the little girl beside her, "Ignore that idiot. And you, what's your name?"

"Su Yan".

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong smiled and said, "Su Yan, what a nice name. You're quite an interesting little girl, but your father isn't exactly a good person."

Su Yan immediately became unhappy: "What's wrong with my father? Haven't you seen how peaceful and happy the people of Suzhou are? He doesn't even collect taxes."

Huang Rong, remembering that Su Qingfeng actually wanted to marry her, felt a surge of anger: "He's done a good job governing the city, but your father is just... never mind, let's not talk about that. Su Yan, are you going to the Beggars' Sect gathering the day after tomorrow?"

Su Yan said dejectedly, "I can't go. My parents won't let me leave Suzhou."

She really wanted to go and see the excitement of the tournament, and maybe even witness some高手 (masters) sparring. But her father had strictly forbidden her from moving around within the city; if she sneaked out, her guards would immediately report it.

Huang Rong continued, "That's a real pity. I heard that many martial arts masters will be there, even grandmasters might show up. I originally wanted to take you with me, but since you can't go, I'll have to go by myself."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan's eyes lit up: "Huang Rong, will you take me there? I really want to see the Beggars' Sect gathering."

"Oh? Your father didn't want you to leave the city, did he?"

"**, you can't go out! The conference is a mixed bag, it's too dangerous."

"Yes, if you go, Abi and I will definitely be punished by Lord Wu Xiang."

Azhu and Abi hurriedly tried to stop her. If Su Yan sneaked out again, Lord Wu Xiang would probably punish them again—thinking of this, both of their faces flushed.

Su Yan waved to A Zhu and A Bi, then said to Huang Rong, "I'll find a way to sneak out the day after tomorrow. My father is easy to fool; I have a plan to trick him."

Huang Rong was overjoyed: "Alright, it's a deal. I'll be waiting for you at the gate of Suzhou the day after tomorrow morning."

With this young princess from the Wu Xiangjun family accompanying me, I doubt anyone will dare to stop me when we arrive at Xingzilin, and I won't have to squeeze in with those martial arts practitioners.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there." After making the promise with Huang Rong, Su Yan left with A Zhu and A Bi. She needed to quickly plan her departure from the city the day after tomorrow.

Before long, the day of the Beggars' Sect Assembly arrived, and martial arts practitioners in Suzhou flocked to Xingzilin.

It's said that the Northern Beggars' Sect held a major meeting on the Southern Beggars' Sect's territory because of internal strife. Everyone in the martial arts world is curious about what exactly happened to the Northern Beggars' Sect.

At the Wu Xiangjun residence, Su Yan rushed to her father Su Qingfeng's study early in the morning, hoping to beg him to allow her to go to Xingzilin to witness the Beggars' Sect gathering. However, the study was empty; Su Qingfeng was nowhere to be seen. Su Yan found this strange; where could her father have gone so early in the morning?

She searched the room but couldn't find him, so she asked her father's maid, "Ziyun, where is my father?"

Zi Yun bowed and replied, "**, His Majesty left the palace early this morning, and this servant does not know where he went."

Su Yan slammed her hand on the table in anger: "Damn it! How am I supposed to leave now? I made a promise with Huang Rong, am I supposed to break it?"

She sat down in Su Qingfeng's chair with a worried expression. Without her father's permission, the guards at the gates of Gusu would never let her leave the city. The more Su Yan thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She should have told her father beforehand.

She hung her head dejectedly and turned to ask Azhu and Abi, "What do you think I should do now?"

A'Zhu laughed: "What else can we do? Stay in the manor. The Beggars' Sect gathering is bound to be dangerous; it's better not to go."

Su Yan shook his head repeatedly: "No, I made a promise to Huang Rong, I can't break my word... Wait a minute, haha, I have a plan! A'Zhu, tell Commander Liu Teng to prepare to leave the city, I know how to get out!"

"Yes, Princess."

Outside Suzhou, Su Qingfeng was riding his horse towards Xingzilin. He had originally planned to wait for Li Qiushui to arrive before going together, but Li Qiushui had something come up and asked him to wait for her at Xingzilin first.

Su Qingfeng felt somewhat helpless, but since she was going to watch the Beggars' Sect gathering anyway, she went along with her wishes.

Just as he was enjoying the scenery, he was suddenly kicked off his horse. Startled and furious, Su Qingfeng shouted, "**! Who attacked me?"

A stunningly beautiful woman sat on his horse, chuckling softly, "Hehe, young master, I didn't mean it, please don't be angry."

Su Qingfeng was taken aback by her stunning beauty, then, remembering how she had kicked him off his horse, he said angrily, "How can I not be angry? How about I kick you off my horse too, then apologize to you? Would you be happy? Besides, this horse is mine, shouldn't you get off?"

The woman put on a pitiful look and said softly, "Young master, look at me, I'm not even wearing shoes. How can you bear to let me walk barefoot?"

Su Qingfeng looked down at her pair of fair, bare feet and remained silent for a long time.

"I'm heartless. You should come down. We're not related. I have to get to Xingzilin. Come down quickly."

Su Qingfeng wondered to himself, who exactly was this beautiful barefoot woman? He had never heard of anyone traveling the martial arts world barefoot before... Wait, wasn't Wanwan from The Legend of the Twin Dragons barefoot?

But this is the Song Dynasty! If she really is Wanwan, what is she doing here in the Song Dynasty? Could it be that she is also here to attend the Northern Beggars' Sect's conference?

The beautiful woman winked at Su Qingfeng and said with a smile, "Young master, I'm also going to the apricot grove. Why don't we travel together?"

"Huh? You want to ride the same horse as me? That... isn't quite appropriate?"

The woman smiled again: "Does the young master not wish to ride with me?"

Wanwan just wanted to tease this guy who spoke so unpleasantly—how could he be completely unmoved by her beauty? Could it be that her charms were ineffective against him? But he clearly didn't know any martial arts.

"Yes, of course I'm willing!"

As Su Qingfeng spoke, he mounted his horse and immediately wrapped his arms tightly around the woman's waist. A delicate fragrance wafted towards him, momentarily distracting him.

"you……"

Wanwan was surprised that this person dared to hug her directly, and even looked infatuated. Her face immediately turned frosty, and she felt murderous intent.

Su Qingfeng sensed something was wrong and quickly explained, "I was afraid of falling, please don't be offended, young lady."

Wanwan's cheeks flushed red as she shouted, "Get down here now! Or I'll kill you!"

"Didn't the young lady ask me to come up?" Su Qingfeng asked innocently.

Seeing that he still wouldn't let go of his horse, Wanwan prepared to take action: "Get off now, don't make me say it a second time."

Su Qingfeng muttered to herself, "This... is the second time already."

Wanwan, filled with shame and anger, grabbed his neck and yelled, "You bastard, are you coming down or not?"

She never expected that this guy would still be nitpicking over words even when he was about to die. Although it was his own slip of the tongue, he insisted on pointing it out.

Seeing that she was truly angry, Su Qingfeng quickly begged for mercy: "No, no, I'll go down right now—"

Just as he was about to dismount—

Suddenly, a woman in white descended from the sky, landing in front of them. Her face was icy, and she pointed her sword directly at the beautiful woman before Su Qingfeng, saying:

"Wanwan, do you still want to run away now?"

Wanwan looked helpless. Shi Feixuan had chased her all the way from the Sui Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and she just couldn't shake off this tail.

"Little nun, aren't you tired of chasing me from the Sui Dynasty to the Song Dynasty? I'm exhausted. Let me rest for a bit before continuing."

Su Qingfeng thought to himself, "These really are the witch Wanwan and the fairy Shi Feixuan. How lucky I am to have met two stunning beauties right from the start."

But he immediately wanted to leave—the two women were beautiful, but too dangerous, and he didn't want to lose his life for their beauty.

Shi Feixuan stared at Wanwan, surprised. She had never seen her old rival so close to a man, and was even being held by him.

Seeing Shi Feixuan looking at him, Su Qingfeng hurriedly spoke:

"I'm just passing by, you guys continue, I'll be going now."

After saying that, he released Wanwan, dismounted, and prepared to leave. He didn't want to be targeted by these two women at all.

"Stop right there! Do you intend to start something and then abandon it?"

Su Qingfeng was taken aback and turned to look at Wanwan on the horse.
