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

"Yes, my husband has already given it to me."

Upon hearing this, Jingni nodded slightly to Yaoyue and the others inside the house, then flew up and disappeared into the night of the Dugu residence.

Seeing Jingni walk away, Dugu Feng approached Murong Qiudi and asked curiously, "Sister Qiudi, was that Su Qingfeng's wife just now?"

Murong Qiudi nodded with a smile: "It is indeed her, but she doesn't like to get involved in affairs. The one who truly manages affairs now is Dongjun Yanfei of the Yin Yang School."

Dugu Feng suddenly realized: "No wonder, that person's expression was too aloof, not like someone who usually walks in public."

"You've misunderstood," Murong Qiudi chuckled. "Jingni is also a Lady Jun, but she prefers quiet and doesn't like crowds. She gave birth to a daughter for Su Qingfeng, and Su Qingfeng dotes on this daughter, even passing down the family jade pendant to her."

Dugu Feng took a breath: "Could it be... that Su Qingfeng intends for his daughter to inherit the family business?"

"That's exactly right."

Those around were all taken aback upon hearing this. No one had expected that Su Qingfeng would raise his daughter as his successor—could it be that a female Wu Xiangjun would emerge in the future? Or even… an empress?

Lu Xiaofeng and the others couldn't help but become interested in Su Qingfeng's daughter. If they could really marry this future female warrior, or even an empress, wouldn't that be a meteoric rise to power?

Meanwhile, Su Yan had already secretly entered the Great Sui Dynasty with her subordinates. She had snuck out this time and didn't even dare to contact her secret guards.

The group originally intended to head to Luoyang, but unknowingly took the wrong turn and ended up in a place called Pegasus Ranch. Su Yan, feeling dejected, complained to the centurion Liu Teng:

"Liu Teng, what kind of way did you lead the way? If it weren't for the Netherworld Cavalry's speed, I should have had Gu Changfeng come with me!"

Liu Teng said helplessly, "Princess, I am not familiar with this place either. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Sui Dynasty, we took a side road. Perhaps we took the wrong turn along the way."

"Alright," Su Yan waved his hand, "Since you said the Pegasus Ranch is ahead, let's go there first. We'll contact the secret guards when we get there. Anyway, we're already in the Sui Dynasty, so even if Mother and Aunt Li find out, they can't do anything to me."

"Yes, Princess."

As Su Yan led over a thousand Netherworld Iron Cavalry towards the Pegasus Ranch, the ranch owner, Shang Xiuxun, had already received news that an army was approaching the ranch. She frowned and asked the middle-aged man beside her, "Uncle Shang Zhen, have you ascertained which side they are?"

Shang Zhen shook his head: "Their opponents were all dressed in black clothes and armor. I have never heard of any force dressed like that within the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty."

He was filled with unease, fearing that the visitors were there to steal the ranch's warhorses.

Shang Xiuxun gripped the reins tightly: "Gather all the guards; I fear the newcomers are hostile. Fortunately, they are few in number."

"Yes, owner!"

Outside the Pegasus Ranch, thousands of guards stood at attention, their weapons drawn, watching the approaching shadows with bated breath. Shang Xiuxun, clad in military attire, rode at the front of the formation, her gaze fixed intently ahead.

At this moment, Su Yan, on horseback, let out a long sigh and muttered softly, "I'm exhausted... I'll never ride a horse for this long again."

Su Yan rode a little white horse, feeling dizzy. She hadn't expected riding a horse to be so tiring; she felt like her bottom was about to be chafed raw.

She muttered to herself, "I'll never ride a horse again unless it's absolutely necessary." Looking up, she saw several thousand people standing in a dark mass outside the Pegasus Ranch, each armed with swords and looking ready for battle. Su Yan found it somewhat amusing.

With just these ranch guards, do you really think you can start a war with them? Her Netherworld Iron Cavalry only needs to charge once to wipe them all out.

"Liu Teng, call their manager out to speak."

"Yes, Princess!"

Liu Teng accepted the order and rode alone towards the Pegasus Ranch. Upon arriving, he glanced at the unfriendly-looking guards around him and loudly asked, "Who's in charge of the Pegasus Ranch?"

"That's me."

Shang Xiuxun stared at the thousand black-armored cavalrymen opposite her, her heart pounding. These cavalrymen were so imposing; just their mere presence was enough to make one feel suffocated. She couldn't help but feel tense.

If a real fight breaks out, Pegasus Ranch probably won't be able to stop this cavalry.

Liu Teng was surprised to find that the ranch manager was a woman, and a very beautiful one at that. Somewhat suspicious, he asked, "A woman? You're the manager of Pegasus Ranch?"

Shang Xiuxun's face darkened immediately upon seeing the other party questioning her. Although she was a woman, the ranch had flourished under her management. This general before her seemed to be someone who looked down on women.

She replied irritably, "Exactly. And who are you people?"

"Our county lord wishes to see you. Come with me."

"Princess? Are you from the Sui Dynasty royal family?"

"No. Please come with me."

Liu Teng ignored her unfriendly tone, glanced at the imposing woman, then turned his horse around to lead her to see Su Yan.

"Master, don't go! These black-armored cavalrymen are of unknown origin; it might be dangerous to go!"

"Yes, Master, they have such power with just a thousand cavalry. They should defend the city. They are cavalry; they can't break through."

"The Third Deacon is right. As long as we hold the city walls, they won't be able to do anything. Then we can ask our allies for help."

"By the way, isn't the Li clan's army near Jingyang? Let's notify them; they should come to our rescue."

"Not necessarily. The Li clan is negotiating with the four major bandits in Jingyang, so they might not come. It would be safer to ask the local Sui army for help."

The stewards at Pegasus Ranch all tried to dissuade Shang Xiuxun from going, fearing she might be detained, which would endanger the ranch. "Don't say anything, I'll go check it out. Those black-armored cavalry don't seem to be attacking us, otherwise they wouldn't be stopping so far away. Uncle Shang Zhen, I'm leaving this to you." "Yes, Ranch Master."

Shang Xiuxun rode alongside Liu Teng toward the black-armored cavalry. Upon approaching, she saw a little girl riding a white horse, watching her from among the cavalry guards. Su Yan, seeing that it was a young woman approaching, said to Liu Teng:

"Liu Teng, I told you to find the manager of Pegasus Ranch, why did you bring a beautiful woman? Are you trying to curry favor with my father and find him a concubine? Aren't you afraid my mother and Aunt Yanfei will punish you?" Liu Teng quickly explained with a bitter face:

"Princess, this is the person in charge of the Pegasus Ranch. I wouldn't dare find women for His Majesty; I'd like to live a few more years." Su Yan ignored him and looked at the woman before her, asking, "What's your name? How far is it from Luoyang?"

Shang Xiuxun was somewhat surprised, not expecting the princess to be a little girl of five or six years old. From her question, she learned that the other woman was merely passing through. "Shang Xiuxun, owner of the Pegasus Ranch, greets the princess. This place is still over six hundred li from Luoyang. Is the princess on her way to Luoyang?"

Su Yan sighed helplessly, never expecting to be even further from Luoyang. What was originally only four hundred li had now become over six hundred li. She rubbed her bottom, feeling a little uncomfortable: "Over six hundred li? Liu Teng, how many wrong turns have we taken? It's all your fault." Liu Teng was also embarrassed, realizing they had strayed further and further off course. "Yes, Princess, I will accept my punishment when we return."

Su Yan didn't want to travel any further and decided to rest here. Since her mother had already gone ahead, she wouldn't be able to help anyway, so she might as well contact her guards here and inquire about her father's whereabouts. "Lord of the Marketplace, can we rest at the Pegasus Ranch for a while? I haven't had a proper rest for several days." "Hehe, of course, Princess, please follow me." "Okay, thank you."

Eastern Continent, Cold Kingdom.

Unbeknownst to Su Qingfeng, Shi Guanyin had already stripped Yan Lingji naked and placed her on the carriage bed, making her lie beside her. Su Qingfeng was lying in bed, communicating with the system to claim his monthly treasure chest. "System, claim this month's treasure chest."

"Ding! The treasure chest has been sent to your system space. The next treasure chest can be claimed in one month." "Open the treasure chest."

"Ding! The treasure chest has been opened. Congratulations, host, you have obtained: the King-level martial arts manual 'Shadow Assassination Technique', 300 Shadow Assassins, 50,000 elite troops, and weapons and equipment for 100,000 troops."

This time, the harvest is plentiful again, I've made a fortune. But how did I end up with an assassin's manual? I don't want to be an assassin, but those three hundred Shadow Assassins at the Innate Realm are quite good. I can hand them over for any assassination missions in the future.

This time, he also received 50,000 troops, bringing his total system-controlled army to 200,000, not counting the forces recruited in Suzhou. Su Qingfeng is currently unsure of the exact number of soldiers recruited in Suzhou.

In addition, there are 100,000 sets of weapons and equipment, which have arrived at just the right time. The military's arrows are running low, and with this replenishment, there is no need to worry about shortages.

The Xuanwu Legion and the Netherworld Iron Cavalry Legion can also use this to replace their damaged armor and weapons, since the equipment produced by the system is indeed of superior quality.

Su Qingfeng was in a good mood and was looking forward to seeing how Shi Guanyin was handling the matter of Han Fei and Ji Wuye.

Just then, his hand suddenly pressed against a soft spot, and Su Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat. He wasn't a clueless man; he knew exactly where his hand was.

Yan Lingji was glaring angrily at the man beside her. She hadn't expected that she would be stripped naked by the Lady Jun and thrown onto the bed inside the carriage.

What's even more infuriating is that his acupoints were sealed, including his speech acupoint, leaving him unable to move or speak.

Just as Yan Lingji was feeling both ashamed and angry, the man sleeping beside her reached out and touched her body. Yan Lingji's face instantly turned bright red, and she wished she could burn this man to ashes.

Su Qingfeng suddenly realized that the woman beside him was not Shi Guanyin—he had originally thought that Shi Guanyin had returned after finishing her business and was lying down next to him.

But then he thought again, Shi Guanyin wouldn't just lie quietly beside him like that, and this woman's figure was also quite different from Shi Guanyin's; Shi Guanyin's figure was much fuller.

Su Qingfeng immediately opened his eyes and looked at the woman beside him, but upon seeing her, he embarrassingly started bleeding from his nose.

Why is it Yan Lingji? Why is she lying next to me? Is she testing my willpower?

Wait a minute, if Yan Lingji really wanted to test me, she wouldn't be glaring at me so angrily, would she? Su Qingfeng covered his nose and looked at Yan Lingji again. Seeing that her face was flushed and her eyes were full of anger, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

Yan Lingji was absolutely furious. She hadn't expected that Lady Jun would leave her next to a sleeping man. She was both ashamed and angry, and wished she could kill that despicable woman immediately.

Along with that, she also came to hate the man beside her—who had to be in the carriage by choice.

What infuriated Yan Lingji even more was that the man woke up and saw her, and immediately started bleeding from his nose. Yan Lingji felt utterly hopeless; her innocence had been defiled by this man.
