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

In the past few days, Yuwen Huaji learned of the movements in the Song Dynasty through his scouts. He hadn't expected that Wu Xiangjun was also plotting a coup and had already quietly begun to control the southern part of the Song Dynasty. Yuwen Huaji suddenly felt that he had met a kindred spirit, as he himself was also preparing for a coup.

Seeing that Yuwen Huaji was handsome, Su Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "General Yuwen, I apologize for disturbing you by coming here today."

Yuwen Huaji glanced at the woman beside Su Qingfeng, finding her familiar, and asked with a smile, "It is my honor that Lord Wu Xiang graces my humble abode. And who is this?"

Su Qingfeng glanced at Changsun Wuhou and said with a smile, "This is my wife; I just brought her to the Sui Dynasty for sightseeing."

Upon hearing his explanation, Changsun Wuhou secretly reached out and pinched his side.

Su Qingfeng reacted quickly, grabbing her soft hand and refusing to let go.

Changsun Wuhou's face flushed slightly. He tried to pull his hand away but couldn't, knowing that this guy would definitely not let go. He had already taken advantage of him quite a bit these past few days.

"Lord Wu Xiang and his wife, please have some tea."

Su Qingfeng took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "General Yuwen, are you aware of the appearance of a Heaven-level secret manual in Yangzhou?"

Yuwen Huaji sized up Su Qingfeng and realized he didn't know martial arts. He couldn't figure out his intentions for a moment: "Is Lord Wu Xiang also interested in Heaven-level martial arts manuals?"

Su Qingfeng gently stroked Changsun Wuhou's hand and shook his head, saying, "General, you are joking. My wife and I are not skilled in martial arts, so the secret manuals are useless to us."

Just then, a masked man in black suddenly flew in from outside, sword in hand, and charged straight at Su Qingfeng: "You corrupt official! I will take your life on behalf of the people of the world!"

Su Qingfeng was stunned: Why would this female assassin want to kill me? I'm not a corrupt official...

Su Qingfeng was momentarily bewildered when he saw the female assassin rushing towards him. He had only been in the Great Sui Dynasty for a few days; how could there be an assassin trying to kill him?

Changsun Wuhou quickly moved closer to Su Qingfeng. Seeing that the assassin had a clear target, she couldn't help but worry about Su Qingfeng's safety.

Although Changsun Wuhou felt that Su Qingfeng was lecherous, he found it quite pleasant to be around him. He could speak freely with him and even banter and fight without restraint.

Changsun Wuhou felt relaxed and at ease by Su Qingfeng's side, without having to hide herself all the time, which made her gradually come to like this kind of life.

Su Ming swiftly drew his broken blade and shielded Su Qingfeng and Changsun Wuhou. He hadn't expected that someone would attempt to assassinate Wu Xiangjun within Yuwen Huaji's residence.

Yuwen Huaji looked at the assassin who came to kill Wu Xiangjun and was equally puzzled: Why did this person choose to do it in his own mansion?

Could it be that this young assassin at the Innate Realm didn't know he was a Grandmaster? Or was he deliberately trying to frame him?

As the female assassin lunged forward, Su Ming was already there to meet her.

boom!

stab-

Despite being a master of innate skill, the female assassin's dress was instantly torn by Su Ming's unpredictable movements, and blood flowed freely from her arm.

"Protect the general!"

"Quickly, protect the general!"

Yuwen Huaji's guards rushed into the house, quickly surrounded the female assassin, and attacked her.

"kill!"

"The Art of Swordplay!"

ahhh-

The female assassin used her swordsmanship to kill several soldiers in succession. Seeing that more and more government troops were surrounding her, she knew that the assassination attempt had failed, so she turned around and retreated quickly.

Seeing that she was trying to escape, Su Ming did not give chase. He was the only guard present, and he feared this was a diversionary tactic; the safety of Wu Xiangjun was more important.

Yuwen Huaji recognized the sword technique and sternly gave the order:

"Yi swordsmanship—she's from Goryeo! Capture her, this is the assassin who tried to assassinate the Emperor!"

"You think you can arrest me? You're not worthy! You corrupt official Yuwen, I'll come back for your life next time!"

The female assassin knocked down a nearby soldier, leaped onto the wall, glared at Su Qingfeng, and shouted.

Su Qingfeng immediately realized the assassin had mistaken him for someone else. He was inwardly annoyed: this was practically making her a scapegoat for Yuwen Huaji. Didn't this female assassin realize that Yuwen Huaji was almost forty, while she was only in her early twenties? They were nothing like him!

Su Qingfeng immediately realized that this person must be Fu Junzhuo, who would later become the adoptive mother of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. She must have failed in her assassination attempt on the emperor and then turned to assassinate Yuwen Huaji. It seemed Fu Junzhuo was about to flee to Yangzhou, and the story of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty was about to begin.

"Trying to escape? Do you think you can escape—Mystic Ice Force!"

At this moment, Yuwen Huaji made his move, his palms striking the female assassin with icy force.

boom!

He struck her with a palm, sending her flying. Seeing her spitting blood as she fled, Yuwen Huaji did not pursue her. Having been struck by his Xuanbing Force, the female assassin was certain to die.

"Search! We need to find them alive or dead!"

"Yes, General!"

Yuwen Huaji returned to the hall and realized that the assassin had come for him but had mistaken him for someone else.

Yuwen Huaji never expected that the assassin would mistake him for Lady Wu Xiang. He glanced at Su Qingfeng, utterly puzzled—did Lady Wu Xiang look more noble than himself? Upon returning home, he apologized to Su Qingfeng:

"Lord Wu Xiang, I am truly sorry. I never expected that the assassin who was meant to assassinate the emperor would come to kill me, and even mistook you for me."

Su Qingfeng did not intend to stay long. Now that Fu Junzhuo had shown himself, he knew the whereabouts of the Longevity Manual, and he also wanted to obtain the manual to take a look.

"I'm fine, let's leave it at that." Su Qingfeng changed the subject. "General Yuwen, I've come to the Sui Dynasty to make a deal with you. I need a large amount of grain and military equipment, and I hope you can provide it."

Yuwen Huaji appeared slightly surprised. Although he knew of Su Qingfeng's influence in the government, he didn't understand why Su had approached him. He remained expressionless, only smiling as he said:

"Lord Wu Xiang is joking. Such a matter should be discussed with the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty; I cannot make the decision myself."

Su Qingfeng smiled slightly:

"General, although I am not a Sui citizen, I am somewhat familiar with the situation in the court. We both know who is in charge of Jiangdu now. Let's not beat around the bush—I'm straightforward, so let's get straight to the point: as long as you provide me with what I need, if I control the south of the Song Dynasty in a year, I will definitely send 200,000 elite troops to help you seize the Sui Dynasty's territory."

Yuwen Huaji was startled. Lord Wu Xiang currently commanded over 100,000 troops, and their fighting strength was formidable; if they truly conquered the south of the Song Dynasty, their military power would increase significantly. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this true?"

Seeing that the other party was interested, Su Qingfeng continued:

"I, Su Qingfeng, always keep my word. You and I can form an alliance—I will raise an army in the Song Dynasty, and you will start an uprising in the Sui Dynasty. From now on, we will support each other and assist one another."

Yuwen Huaji laughed loudly after hearing this:

"Very well! We shall form an alliance with Lord Wu Xiang. I will prepare the supplies you require. I hope that in a year, I will truly see your army of two hundred thousand."

Su Qingfeng smiled and agreed. It was still uncertain whether Yuwen Huaji would survive a year. For now, he would exchange empty words for provisions and military supplies, and then slowly plot against his army later. He hoped that Yuwen Huaji would accumulate more wealth and recruit more soldiers during this period.

Su Qingfeng took out a wooden box and handed it over, smiling:

"General, you will surely see my troops. In the meantime, just gather your forces and await my arrival. Also, this item may be of assistance to you."

Yuwen Huaji took the wooden box and asked in confusion:

"What is this?"

"It's nothing. Right now, those scoundrels all over the Sui Dynasty can't amount to anything. But this thing you have can turn the entire Sui Dynasty upside down. It all depends on how you use it."

"Oh? Then I'd like to see this gift."

After Su Qingfeng and Yuwen Huaji agreed on the amount of grain and weapons, Su Qingfeng left the Yuwen residence with Changsun Wuhou.

On the way back, Changsun Wuhou wanted to ask Su Qingfeng and Yuwen Huaji several times what they were planning by joining forces, but then she thought that she and Su Qingfeng were not close, and he might not tell her the truth. The secret conversation she had just overheard made her feel uneasy.

Su Qingfeng noticed her expression, reached out and pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "Don't ask any more questions, I will tell you in the future."

"Let go! We're still on the street..."

When Changsun Wuhou was embraced by Su Qingfeng in the street, she immediately tensed up. She had never been hugged like this by a man before, especially not in a crowded street. She was both embarrassed and angry, and afraid that this presumptuous man would do something even more outrageous.

"You are my wife, what's wrong with a hug? Besides, that old fox Yuwen Huaji is secretly watching us, he probably recognizes you."

"Wouldn't that jeopardize your collaboration with him?"

"No. Even if he recognizes you, the cooperation will continue. He'll only wonder why Li Shimin's fiancée is traveling with me. Once he sees what's in the box, he should understand."

"That's good... Su Qingfeng, you've also done something in the Song Dynasty?"

"No way, it was all done by my men, I had no idea."

"You're really cunning."

"Haha, let's go back first."

Su Qingfeng smiled and helped Changsun Wuhou into the carriage, which then drove away from the street corner. Just as they left, Yuwen Huaji slowly emerged from the shadows by the wall.

He gazed thoughtfully in the direction the carriage had gone. This Lord Wu Xiang is quite capable; he even managed to take away the betrothed of the second son of the Li family.

Half of the beauties on the martial arts ranking list are related to him, and now he's even involved with Li Shimin's fiancée. He's truly a formidable character.

Outside Jiangdu City, Fu Junzhuo, covered in wounds, was washing her wounds by the river. She hadn't expected that Yuwen Huaji would also have a grandmaster by his side. Not only had she failed to assassinate the Sui Emperor, but Yuwen Huaji had also escaped unharmed. The mission had completely failed, and she wondered how her master would punish her when she returned to Goryeo.

As she was pondering this, two women in white appeared silently beside her.

Fu Junzhuo stood up alertly: "Who are you people?"

She sensed that the two were also at the Grandmaster level, and was secretly shocked: When did the Great Sui Dynasty have so many experts?

One of the women coldly replied, "The one who will take your life."

"Are you Yuwen Huaji's lackeys?"

boom--

Fu Junzhuo only felt a blur before his eyes before he was kicked away by a woman next to him.

She collapsed on the riverbank, pressing her bleeding wound, glaring at the two female grandmasters. The woman who had kicked her away sneered:

"Considering that you are also a woman, I will tell you why I killed you—you should not have assassinated Young Master Su. Anyone who is detrimental to Young Master Su will be eliminated by the Yihua Palace."

Fu Junzhuo coughed a few times and asked in confusion:

"I have never attempted to assassinate any Young Master Su. Are you mistaken?"

Another woman coldly replied:

"There's no mistake. The young man who was stabbed in Yuwen Huaji's mansion today is none other than Young Master Su."

"What? He's not Yuwen Huaji?"

Fu Junzhuo was stunned for a moment. The person she had just assassinated was not Yuwen Huaji? This was hard for her to accept.

"Korean, you attacked without even knowing who Yuwen Huaji is. You are truly arrogant."

"I……"

"Sister Yue, she didn't intend to assassinate Young Master Su, so why do you still want to kill him?"

"Take him back for the Palace Master to decide his fate. We must also report what we've heard today to the Palace Master."

"Alright. Korean, you'd better not resist, or you'll be killed on the spot."

"I understand... I won't resist."

In Su Qingfeng's villa in Jiangdu.

As soon as Changsun Wuhou returned, she hid in her room, her face flushed, too ashamed to face that lecherous Su Qingfeng. Thinking of Su Qingfeng's indecent advances towards her in the carriage, she wanted nothing more than to strangle him.

Su Qingfeng shook his head and smiled before walking into the room.

A month has passed, and today is the day to claim the monthly treasure chest. He missed claiming it earlier because he was at Yuwen Huaji's place discussing cooperation, and now he's ready to see what he can get.

"System, claim this month's treasure chest."

"Ding, treasure chest successfully claimed and stored in system space."

"Open the treasure chest."

"Ding! The treasure chest has been opened. Congratulations, host, you have obtained: one Heavenly Origin Pill, one Supreme Sword Technique Card, and 50,000 elite troops."

"We've struck gold! This is a massive windfall! Just the 50,000 troops alone are a huge profit." Su Qingfeng looked at the items in his system space, unable to contain his excitement.

"System, what is the use of the Heavenly Origin Pill?"

"Tian Yuan Dan: Originates from the cultivation world. After consumption, it can repair the eight extraordinary meridians in the body and raise the cultivator's aptitude to the Emperor level."

Su Qingfeng hurriedly asked, "System, can this Heavenly Origin Pill open up my meridians?"

"Ding, it's working."

Su Qingfeng was overjoyed and couldn't wait to take the pill. But then he looked at the Supreme Sword Technique card, wanting to know what kind of sword technique it was.

"System, please introduce the Supreme Sword Technique Card."
