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

Cui Hao replied with a hint of helplessness:

"Your Majesty, I can control these people, but our Netherworld Iron Cavalry is too small. If we want to control them, I'm afraid we won't be able to take care of anything else."

Su Qingfeng smiled and directly communicated with the system, deploying 10,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry five miles away. He wanted the Xiongnu to fight the Xiongnu—he didn't bring many troops this time, which was more effective than simply wiping them out.

Once the Xiongnu have fought amongst themselves to the last drop, there won't be many left who have surrendered. We can then deal with them, or let these surrendered soldiers continue to attack other foreign tribes. Either way, it's a good deal.

"Cui Hao, reinforcements will arrive shortly. I've given you ten thousand Netherworld Iron Cavalry; from now on, you will lead them to burn, kill, and plunder within Xiongnu territory. I will see the heads of Xiongnu Chanyu Touman and his son Maodun one day."

"These prisoners are yours to use. If you encounter any Xiongnu men in the future, kill them if they do not surrender. In battle, let the surrendered soldiers lead the charge. I will not concern myself with the specifics."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cui Hao was overjoyed to hear that ten thousand Netherworld Iron Cavalry were coming. With ten thousand more cavalry, he could wage war at will on the grasslands, and these Huns would become his slaves and cannon fodder.

Seeing that Su Qingfeng wasn't paying attention to her, Shi Guanyin quietly loosened her clenched fist. Just now, when Cui Hao addressed her as "Madam," she had intended to kill him with a single blow.

Hearing the word "Madam" made her feel inexplicably more at ease, which prevented her from taking action on the spot. Shi Guanyin felt that she had truly changed.

Now she actually cares about how others see her, and even unconsciously, she has started to associate her with Su Qingfeng in how she addresses him.

The woman, Hu Ji, watched the man and woman being escorted by black-armored cavalry with a sense of curiosity. When the black-armored general saluted the two, she realized that they were the masters of this cavalry, and her curiosity only grew.

Su Qingfeng glanced at the Xiongnu prisoners, already finding them uninteresting. Night had fallen, and he was about to return to his tent to rest when he saw a scantily clad woman kneeling at the entrance of a magnificent tent. Su Qingfeng felt she looked somewhat familiar.

"Huh, who is this woman?"

"You bastard, you're actually interested in this shamelessly dressed barbarian woman? Do you want to die?" "You bastard, Li Qi, are you trying to break my arm?"

Su Qingfeng looked at the scantily clad woman and felt increasingly familiar with her, but for a moment he couldn't recall where he had seen her before.

Shi Guanyin was furious when she saw that Su Qingfeng was staring intently at the kneeling Hun woman. She grabbed his arm and twisted it – this bastard was increasingly disregarding her and now he was openly trying to provoke the Hu woman.

"You bastard, you're actually interested in this shamelessly dressed barbarian woman? Do you want to die?" "You bastard, Li Qi, are you trying to break my arm?"

"Tear it off if you want! Don't you have enough women already? Want to find another barbarian woman to play with?"

Su Qingfeng cursed inwardly: What does Shi Guanyin mean? I only have three or four women, how is that many? Besides, even if I took this Hu woman, what business is it of hers? Is this capricious woman about to go crazy again? "Let go, let go now! My men are all watching here, can you please stop going crazy all the time?"

Shi Guanyin looked around, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw that the Netherworld Iron Cavalry around her all lowered their heads and dared not look at her. Her face flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed.

She released Su Qingfeng and went straight into the tent. She had indeed been acting strangely tonight and needed to calm down and think things through. Seeing her leave without warning, Su Qingfeng shook his head; this woman's thoughts were truly unfathomable.

He rubbed his arm and asked the woman kneeling on the ground, "Raise your head. What's your name?"

Hu Ji nervously raised her head and looked at Su Qingfeng. She didn't know how this lord would deal with her. That woman just now was too frightening; just one glance from her made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Hu Ji trembled slightly and replied in a low voice, "Lin Hu woman, Hu Ji greets Your Excellency."

Hu Ji? Su Qingfeng was taken aback. Wasn't this the woman of Touman, the Xiongnu Chanyu? What was she doing here? This was just a medium-sized tribe; someone of her status shouldn't be here. "Hu Ji, why are you here?" Hu Ji hurriedly replied upon hearing his question.

"My lord, the Xiongnu Chanyu Touman has taken a liking to me and is threatening to slaughter my tribe to force me to marry him. This time, Baltu is escorting me to the Xiongnu royal court."

"Cui Hao, go and check if what she said is true."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Qingfeng hadn't expected that this Hu woman hadn't become Touman's woman yet. When he watched the anime, he only noticed her revealing clothes and knew she was cunning and scheming. Now it seemed she was just a weak and vulnerable woman.

"Get up. If what you say is true, I may spare your life."

"Thank you, sir."

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves grew louder as they approached—it was the arrival of the ten thousand Netherworld Iron Cavalry that Su Qingfeng had arranged earlier.

The Xiongnu prisoners trembled with fear when they saw that another ten thousand black-armored cavalry had arrived. The previous group of less than ten thousand black-armored cavalry had already routed tens of thousands of their men, and now that another ten thousand had come, those Xiongnu who had wanted to escape under cover of night all knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

"Chang Qing, Commander of the Netherworld Iron Cavalry, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

When Hu Ji saw that this army also addressed the young man as "Your Majesty," she was secretly alarmed: Could he actually be a ruler from the Central Plains?

"Get up, all of you. Changqing, from now on you will work with Cui Hao on the grasslands. Cui Hao will be the leader, and you will be the deputy. You must complete my instructions."

"Yes! This subordinate will certainly work together with Commander Cui."

"Let's deal with the prisoners first."

"Yes, ma'am."

When did such a young ruler emerge from the seven kingdoms of the Central Plains, and also command such a powerful army? Hu Ji looked at Su Qingfeng, her gaze gradually becoming intense.

If she were to receive this person's support, even just a loan of ten thousand black-armored cavalry, her tribe would surely become the strongest on the grasslands.

At this time, Cui Hao returned and reported:

"Your Majesty, we have examined Baltu, and what this woman said is true."

After hearing this, Su Qingfeng decided to use Hu Ji to deal with the Xiongnu. She was indeed shrewd, and if she was willing to cooperate, it wouldn't be unreasonable to spare her tribe's life.

"Hu Ji, come in with me."

Hu Ji blushed slightly as she glanced at Su Qingfeng, who had already entered the tent. She understood her lord's intentions, but for the survival of her tribe and for her own, she had no choice but to comply.

Moreover, compared to Touman, the Xiongnu Chanyu, this ruler is young, handsome, and extremely powerful; following him might not be a bad thing.

Hu Ji quickly changed her mind and followed him inside.

Suzhou, Great Song Dynasty

Suzhou is now far more prosperous than it was when Su Qingfeng was alive. The entire southern part of the Song Dynasty has been conquered by Huang Rong and Wang Meng, and Zhao Gou, who was in the south, has been captured by Huang Rong and handed over to the Song emperor—a clear act of deliberate humiliation of the emperor.

Inside the Wu Xiangjun residence, Jing Ni, upon hearing the report from her secret guards that Su Qingfeng had disappeared, unleashed a terrifying aura. The surrounding guards, intimidated by this pressure, hastily knelt on the ground, each sensing the unfathomable strength of their leader.

"Jingni, what happened?"

Li Qiushui sensed something amiss in the mansion and rushed over. Seeing the guards kneeling on the ground, she hurriedly inquired. Jing Ni handed the intelligence report to Li Qiushui and said:

"Aunt Li, my husband has disappeared in Luoyang, the capital of the Sui Dynasty. Murong Qiudi is currently searching for him in Luoyang, but I suspect he is no longer there, and may have even left the Sui Dynasty. After all, to escape the pursuit of the Celestial Realm cultivators, he would definitely try to lure away that Celestial Realm woman."

Li Qiushui took the intelligence report and took a deep breath. She hadn't expected Su Qingfeng to actually provoke a Celestial Realm Immortal; this was practically playing with fire. If Su Qingfeng were in front of her right now, she probably wouldn't be able to resist teaching him a lesson. "That brat is always flirting with women, and now he's really in trouble. Sigh, I wonder if he can escape unscathed this time."

Jing Ni waved her hand, ordering the guards to retreat, and said to Li Qiushui:

"I will personally go to Luoyang, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, to investigate the situation. Aunt Li, please take care of things at home. As for Su Yan, don't let her know that Su Qingfeng is in trouble, or I'm afraid she will run off to find her father."

"I understand. Qingluo has been watching that girl, and she really cannot know about this. You should set off for the Great Sui today."

"Now that we control the south of the Song Dynasty, there are ready-made warships in Hangzhou. You can take a ship there, which will be faster."

"Okay, I'll set off right away."

In a room not far away, Su Yan held a receiver to her ear—a little gadget her father had made for her. Although she couldn't hear very clearly, she understood: something had happened to her father.

"Father is in trouble, and Mother didn't even tell me... I'm going to the Great Sui Dynasty to find Father."

Eastern Continent, Cold Kingdom.

A carriage, escorted by hundreds of guards, slowly made its way towards Xinzheng City. Inside the carriage, Su Qingfeng noticed Shi Guanyin's gloomy expression and wisely sat far away.

For several days, Shi Guanyin was surrounded by a dangerous aura. If she hadn't yet made a move, Su Qingfeng would have already fled.

Shi Guanyin glanced at Su Qingfeng but ignored him. Ever since she saw him bring that Hu woman into the tent that day, she had almost killed this frivolous man. Later, she learned that it was a misunderstanding—Su Qingfeng had sought out the Hu woman to cooperate in using her familiarity with the grasslands to defeat the Xiongnu tribes one by one.

Even though she knew the reason, Shi Guanyin still didn't give Su Qingfeng a friendly look. It was because when he was talking to Hu Nu, his gaze kept sweeping over her body, which annoyed her greatly.

"Young master, we will arrive at Xinzheng in Han Kingdom in another hour." A Netherworld Iron Cavalryman disguised as a guard came to the carriage to report.

"Understood. Pass on the message: from now on, call me Young Master and do not reveal my identity."

"Yes, young master... young master."

"Li Qi, we're almost in Xinzheng. You've been looking like this for days. Aren't you tired? The Netherworld Iron Cavalry outside are hiding from you. They've been quite frightened by you these past few days."

"Then why didn't you dodge?"

I'd like to hide, but there's only one carriage. Am I supposed to go out and ride a horse under the scorching sun? This woman is really unlovable. Su Qingfeng found it quite tiring to be around Shi Guanyin, and planned to find a talkative and mature woman like Zi Nu when he arrived in Xinzheng. Bickering and chatting would be much more interesting.

Su Qingfeng forced a smile and said:

"I was just worried you'd be bored sitting alone in the car. If I wasn't concerned you'd be bored, I would have been out enjoying the scenery already."

Shi Guanyin glared at him coldly: "Ha, you think I'd believe that?"

"You'll know if you remove the word '吗'."

"You're such a jerk."

Su Qingfeng shook his head. This woman was capricious, and he had no idea how to get along with her in the future. She was indeed extremely bad; but to say she was entirely unkind, at least she had never done anything excessive to him.
