Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

Each of these elite soldiers, if placed in the martial arts world, would be considered a master-level expert who had perfected the external martial arts.

In addition, there was the coordination of the troops and the methods of cavalry charge.

No matter how skilled a master is, it would be impossible for them to withstand more than five charges from a cavalry force with combat power equivalent to that of the highest echelon.

Previously, when the Prince of Zhenbei annihilated the alien tribes of Beiman, Huyan Zun, a peerless master known as the God of War of Beiman, was brutally killed by the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry and trampled into a pulp.

But this very same ironclad cavalry that destroyed a nation, at Ding Xia's suggestion, was actually disbanded and sent back to their homeland by Chi Junlin in the original story.

The renowned Crimson Blood Cavalry thus retired from the battlefield.

It's understandable that the author made this plot arrangement to balance the power levels, but it still feels outrageous when you think about it.

It's safe to say that even a dog is better at designing plots than the author.

Now that Chi Junlin is personally in charge, he would never abandon such an incomparably powerful and unwaveringly loyal ironclad cavalry.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief! All three thousand Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry have assembled! Please give the order, Commander-in-Chief!"

Zagu dismounted and knelt before Chi Junlin in a respectful bow.

Chi Junlin nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Gao Da also arrived at Chi Junlin's side, leading a white horse.

Chi Junlin mounted his horse, feeling the intense internal energy flowing through his body.

This is the absolute strength of Chi Junlin, the proud daughter of heaven!

Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry! Emperor's Overlord Spear!

Damn it, who in this world can stop us!

From now on, she should be the main character!

Then Chi Junlin waved his hand, and his red cloak fluttered in the wind.

"set off!"

"Here!"

Three thousand cavalrymen marched in perfect unison, their shouts shaking the heavens!

Then, the massive army moved toward the imperial city.

Before long, they arrived at the north side of the city gate.

Near the north gate of the capital, the defending soldiers who chose to surrender had already knelt all the way along the official road outside the city.

As the Red Emperor led his army, all he could see were the black heads trembling and prostrate on the ground.

A sneer came from behind him; clearly, Chi Junlin's soldiers looked down on these cowards who surrendered without firing a single arrow.

But just as Chi Junlin was about to lead his troops into the city.

But beneath the wide-open city gate, a magnificent twelve-bearer palanquin, adorned with gold and jade pendants, sat in the middle of the road.

Four eunuchs, a dozen or so palace maids, and a group of guards stood on either side of the golden sedan chair, seemingly waiting for the arrival of the Red Emperor.

Chi Junlin asked in surprise, "Dare to block my way? Who's up ahead?"

Seemingly upon hearing Chi Junlin's question, the golden sedan chair hastily lifted a corner of the beaded curtain.

Then they saw a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a golden phoenix crown, a red silk robe, phoenix eyes that held a hint of anger, and skin as white as snow, giving Chi Junlin a cold glance.

Then the curtain was lowered, and it seemed that the woman in the golden sedan chair was filled with disgust for Chi Junlin on horseback, and would explode if she looked at him for too long.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse through the curtain, that moment of stunning beauty left an indelible impression on Chi Junlin's heart.

At this moment, Zheng Gaoda, who was behind him, hurriedly reported to Chi Junlin, "Commander-in-Chief, it is the golden carriage of the Eldest Princess."

"The Eldest Princess? Jiang Qianju?"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin raised his hand and touched his smooth chin. He found it quite amusing.

If Chi Junlin wasn't a time traveler, he might have died at the hands of the arrogant and willful Princess Jiang in later parts of the story.

It can be said that Princess Jiang Qianju of Dazheng and Princess Chi Junlin of Zhenbei are natural enemies who cannot be reconciled.

But Chi Junlin had never imagined that the eldest princess was so beautiful.

That arrogant, haughty, and domineering demeanor was practically launching a barrage of attacks at his own good field.

However, what Chi Junlin cared about even more was the golden cloud symbolizing good fortune above the princess's sedan chair.

Good heavens, that was breathtaking and magnificent.

Chi Junlin felt that her aura cloud was about the same size as his own, but its color was much more vibrant.

Clearly, as the eldest princess of a nation and the female lead in the early stages, her luck is much stronger than mine.

This is really interesting.

When Chi Jun stopped his horse, the cavalry behind him also halted at General Zagu's command.

A eunuch standing beside the princess's golden palanquin stepped forward and cleared his throat.

Then, in a high-pitched, hoarse voice, he loudly announced, "The Princess has decreed that Prince Chi Junlin of Zhenbei must dismount and come forward to report!"

Upon hearing the eunuch's arrogant and rude command, the soldiers behind Chi Junlin all wore angry expressions.

He was clearly very dissatisfied with the princess's condescending attitude.

But Chi Junlin didn't take it seriously.

He simply waved his hand and casually ordered, "Shoot him."

Upon receiving the order, Chizagu's face contorted with rage.

Then he drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and aimed the bowstring at the speaking eunuch, tightening and loosening it in quick succession.

Before the eunuch could react, a powerful arrow pierced his head, leaving a trail of blood.

He fell straight down with a look of astonishment on his face.

The palace maids standing nearby gasped in surprise.

Princess Jiang Qianju angrily lifted the jade curtain, stood up, and pointed at Chi Junlin on horseback, shouting, "Chi Junlin! You dare kill my people! How dare you!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin laughed, flicked his riding whip, and bowed to Jiang Qian, saying, "Yes, is there a problem?"

Where had the eldest princess ever suffered such a great loss?

Her face flushed and paled in turns, as if she were so angry that she could barely stand. She pointed at Chi Junlin and said, "I...I am His Majesty's own sister! You are just a lowly princess, yet...your daring to be so disrespectful to me!"

Chi Junlin chuckled. Grasping her riding whip, she turned to Gao Da and asked, "Has she always been this brave? Doesn't she know I have an army of 100,000?"

Gao Da gave an awkward smile, unsure of how to respond.

Seeing that the eldest princess was still jumping up and down in a panic, Chi Junlin waved his hand impatiently.

"Take them all."

The soldiers behind him had been waiting for these words.

No sooner had Chi Junlin finished speaking than Chi Zhagu led several elite cavalrymen in a fierce attack, their horses' hooves thundering as they charged toward the city gate.

Amidst screams, the magnificent golden carriage was instantly trampled to dust by the warhorses.

The eldest princess was both shocked and furious, seemingly never expecting that Chi Junlin would be so audacious as to actually attack her.

However, the cavalrymen knew their limits. Although they scattered the princess's guards, they did not kill them.

Several palace maids were captured by cavalrymen, one by one, and mounted on their horses.

Chizagu even personally tied the princess up with ropes and lifted her up.

The eldest princess continued her incessant tirade, "Chi Junlin, you wretched woman! You country bumpkin! You're still as utterly rude as ever! You wretched woman! You wretched woman..."

Annoyed by what he heard, a cavalryman nearby tore a piece of red cloth from the sedan chair and stuffed it into her mouth.

All she could do was glare at Chi Junlin and let out a series of "woo-woo-woo" sounds of dissatisfaction.

After capturing the princess and her entourage, the city gates were suddenly cleared.

No one was bothering Chi Junlin anymore.

The army then entered the city.

At this moment, Zagu, carrying the eldest princess, came to Chi Junlin's side and asked her, "Commander-in-Chief, what should we do now?"

Chi Junlin glanced at the magnificent beauty glaring at him and revealed a playful smile.

"Respectfully escort Her Highness the Princess back to her residence." She paused, then continued.

"I'll be there shortly."

Chapter 2 The Crimson Emperor's First Test of the Eldest Princess

The arrogant and domineering eldest princess blocking the city gate was not unexpected by Chi Junlin.

Surprisingly, she was easily defeated by Chi Junlin.

According to the original script, Ding Xia should have arrived just in time and narrowly saved the princess before Chi Junlin could act in a fit of rage.

This will not only disgust Chi Junlin, but also successfully boost Princess Long's favorability.

Unfortunately, Ding Xia was detained in a brothel, and Chi Junlin did not send anyone to rescue him.

Without Dingxia, Chizagu easily captured the princess.

As the eldest sister of the current emperor of the Great Zheng Dynasty, and one of the most beloved daughters of the previous emperor, Jiang Qianju has been pampered since childhood.

The county seat alone boasts the most extensive and prestigious mansion in the capital, with its magnificent residence featuring pavilions, pillars, mountains, water features, and arched eaves, all behaving exactly like those of the Crown Prince.

Because she was pampered from a young age, the princess developed an arrogant and willful personality.

Anyone who does not meet his expectations will be resented and retaliated against.

Not only Chi Junlin, but also Empress Yang, the current emperor, was regarded as a thorn in her side.

However, despite her arrogant and disdainful nature, the eldest princess was completely under Ding Xia's thumb in the original story.

Because she loved reading martial arts and fantasy novels since she was a child, she had a girlish longing and yearning for the world of martial arts.

When she was only ten years old, she ran away to venture outside the palace.

And just then, she met Chi Junlin and was bullied by her.

That's why he harbored such resentment towards Chi Junlin after growing up.

At the same time, the eldest princess, who was alone abroad, also encountered some dangerous events, and was rescued by Ding Xia when he was young.

So she fell in love with him at first sight and couldn't forget him. Her mind was filled with the image of "Brother Ding Xia" from her memories.

But Chi Junlin felt that she was also influenced by the male protagonist's halo and became love-obsessed.

Otherwise, why would a high-ranking princess submit to a despicable and lowly street thug, even at the cost of falling out with her emperor brother?

Later in the story, there's even a plot where the eldest princess and the empress share the same husband.

Honestly, thinking about it now, Red King's Landing seems absolutely outrageous!

But these things will not happen now.

At least Red King will definitely not allow such a thing to happen.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

At this time, the huge princess's residence had been completely occupied by Chi Junlin's troops.

The palace maids and eunuchs inside were all detained by Chi Junlin's personal guards, and everyone was filled with fear and uncertainty about what would happen next.

As for the princess herself, after being "politely escorted" back by Chizagu, she was imprisoned in her own boudoir and guarded by several personal guards.

Chi Junlin didn't keep her waiting for long.

Less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chi Junlin finished explaining things to the other generals.

Then, as instructed, they arrived shortly afterward.

Inside the room, the princess's mouth was stuffed with red cloth, and her hands and feet were tied to a chair, rendering her unable to move.

As she struggled to escape, she heard the voices of the guards outside.

"Commander-in-Chief!"
