After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

In the quiet hall, Chen Futu listened to Qin Liangyu's heartbeat, but before he could fully appreciate her tenderness, he was slapped hard across the face.

The slap was hard. Even though Chen Futu was prepared, he still covered his face and grimaced, "You hit me again."

Qin Liangyu, with a hint of anger, said, "Please, Your Highness, show some self-respect."

"System, come out!"

[The system has informed the host that this system is not a dating simulation system.]

I want her to be the Crown Prince's wife.

[Host, you're dreaming. Don't think about it again next time.]

"I'm willing to pay a price if there's no other way."

[The host is not worthy of Qin Liangyu. Even if there is only a sliver of possibility, the host is advised to explore it on their own.]

"Is Ma Qiancheng worthy of her? If I remember correctly, Ma Qiancheng's achievements were nothing more than resisting Japanese pirates and suppressing Yang Yinglong's rebellion. Do you think I'm inferior to a chieftain?"

Ding!

The system suddenly displayed Qin Liangyu's detailed panel.

Chen Futu fell silent after reading it.

"Grand Master of the Palace, Marquis of Loyalty and Integrity, Junior Guardian of the Crown Prince, Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, Commander-in-Chief of Sichuan, Governor-General, First-Rank Imperial Consort..."

Qin Liangyu had at least a dozen titles and honors in total. Not only was Chen Futu overwhelmed by these titles, but he also couldn't find another woman in this world, or even in the original world, who could surpass her.

"My lord, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."

After Qin Liangyu finished speaking, she prepared to leave.

Chen Futu grabbed her hand and said in a deep voice, "I will not give up."

Qin Liangyu's body trembled, and finally she withdrew her hand and left the hall.

Watching her retreating figure, Chen Futu sat down on the steps, somewhat defeated.

Suddenly, a guard arrived and said, "Your Highness, the interrogation has been completed, and no one has been found to be colluding with Princess Beiwu."

"Go and find Liu Longyue for me."

"No need, I've already arrived."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Liu Longyue, dressed in white as snow and with a light veil covering her face, appeared before me like a fragrant breeze.

After the guards withdrew, Chen Futu remained seated on the steps, scrutinizing her exquisite white fox face with an extremely displeased gaze.

Liu Longyue pursed her lips and said, "What, General Qin's failure to win has angered the young master so much?"

"You dare mention Qin Liangyu? You're not worthy!"

Chen Futu made no attempt to hide his disgust.

Liu Longyue shrugged. "I may not be as good as General Qin, but I've secured the title of Crown Prince's consort. That means the old lady won't pressure the Crown Prince anymore. I've helped the Crown Prince out of a lot of trouble, haven't I?"

"I'll give you the title, but if you want the Northern Frontier to go to war with the Great Qian Dynasty and want to use me as a pawn, you'd better save your breath."

"It's alright. The Crown Prince and the Great Qian are sworn enemies. I think we'll eventually get our chance."

Liu Longyue smiled brightly. She had originally planned to find an opportunity to escape the northern border, but she never expected such an unexpected surprise.

Now that she is the Crown Prince's consort, as long as she gains the trust of the old lady, and even announces to the public that the Crown Prince's consort has fallen into her hands, then when the Northern Martial Army knows her whereabouts, even Chen Futu will not be able to easily touch her. Therefore, she will not leave now, and she can just stay by the old lady's side for the rest of the time.

Their eyes met, and Chen Futu grew increasingly displeased with Liu Longyue. "Tell me the truth, where did you get that poem, 'Song of Joining the Army'?"

Liu Longyue took a step forward and said leisurely, "The flames of war illuminate the western capital, and my heart is filled with indignation. I left the imperial palace with my military seal and my iron cavalry circled the dragon city. Your Highness is truly a man of unparalleled talent. If I had not happened to see your books, I would not have known about such a masterpiece."

"You sneaked into my study?"

"Your Highness, please don't speak so harshly. We are now husband and wife in name only. Isn't it reasonable for me to enter your study?"

Liu Longyue covered her mouth and giggled. Suddenly, she saw the handprint on Chen Futu's face and laughed even louder. "Did the young master try to do something to General Qin just now? And he even got slapped. Isn't the young master angry?"

"What does it have to do with you!"

Chen Futu glared at her and touched his burning cheek.

"The Crown Prince's favor towards General Qin is enviable. If people knew that General Qin had laid a hand on you, how would the people view this?"

Liu Longyue is threatening.

Chen Futu paused, then suddenly stood up and grabbed her by the neck. "I'm warning you, don't try anything funny. If you dare to spread rumors about General Qin in Dragon City, I'll skin you alive and stuff you with straw!"

Chen Futu was not joking; Qin Liangyu was the future wife he had chosen, and anyone who insulted her reputation would die!

Liu Longyue sensed the intense killing intent in Chen Futu's eyes and couldn't help but shiver. She shook her head and said, "I won't, Your Highness, please rest assured."

"I know you wouldn't dare. General Qin is upright and honorable, unlike a woman like you who would defile herself to achieve her goals. Besides, don't mention her in front of me again. You're not worthy."

Chen Futu pushed Liu Longyue aside and strode away from the main hall.

Liu Longyue rubbed her stinging neck, glaring angrily at Chen Futu's retreating figure. "One day, I will make you lose everything."

A day later, Chen Futu met Madam He and He Ya.

"Shouldn't you tell me, Madam, where is the He family's money?"

Chen Futu planned to take Liu Longyue to retrieve the valuables hidden by the Northern Martial spies, and also retrieve the money hidden by the He family. With these two sums of money, they could start developing firearms and some agricultural facilities.

Madam He pointed to He Ya, who was standing to the side with her head down, and said, "My daughter's marriage is still unsettled. If the young master can help her find someone to entrust her life to, I will tell him the whereabouts of the He family's wealth."

These were the conditions agreed upon by Madam He and the old lady.

Chen Futu asked He Ya, "Which talented man in Longcheng have you taken a fancy to? Just say the word, and I will arrange your marriage tomorrow."

"This young lady lives a secluded life and has never had any dealings with any young master."

"Since you can't find it yourself, I'll help you find it."

"I do not wish to marry them. If Your Highness insists on bestowing a marriage upon me, how about I become your concubine?"

He Ya mustered up her courage and spoke her mind.

She and her mother were destitute in the northern frontier. The old lady was kind-hearted and did not let them become prisoners, but they did not have much freedom. If she could become the prince's concubine, their situation would be better.

Looking at He Ya's flustered appearance, Chen Futu chuckled three times: "Do you think I would let the daughter of my enemy take care of my daily life?"

He Ya was speechless on the spot.

She was quite beautiful. Although she had been kept in a brothel for years, it was all at the behest of the imperial court. Besides, no one dared to touch her on the He family's territory, and she was still a virgin.

Chen Futu was too lazy to waste any more words with her and said to Madam He, "Tell me the address, and once I get the money, I will naturally set you free."

"it is good."

Mrs. He then casually wrote down an address and handed it over.

Chen Futu was slightly taken aback after seeing it, "A peach blossom grove?"

The Peach Blossom Forest is located within the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty. Last time, the Great Qian army ambushed a thousand people in the Peach Blossom Forest, but they were eventually killed by a mysterious powerful figure. The figure even killed several generals.

Based on the cultivation levels of this low-level martial arts world, the opponent's strength is definitely above the Grandmaster level, and may even be a Saint.

Chen Futu currently has no combat power above the Grandmaster level. His strongest are Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Ma Chao, and the soon-to-arrive Champion Marquis Huo Qubing. It seems that these four can put up a fight against the opponent if they are tied together.
