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

This was the first time Chen Futu had entered the bathhouse at the pass, and it was also the first time he had seen women in the soldiers' bathhouse.

The naked woman noticed something was wrong. She instinctively turned around while holding the ladle, and the two stared at each other in disbelief.

"Li Xiuning!"

"Sir!"

The bathroom was quiet.

Chen Futu stared in astonishment at her flawless white body, and subconsciously swallowed.

It must be said that, as a female warrior, her figure was exceptionally good; she had not an ounce of excess fat, and even had abs, especially…

Chen Futu was dumbfounded and made his own comments in his mind. The next second, with a thud, a gourd hit him on the forehead.

Chen Futu was hit and immediately clutched his forehead, wincing in pain.

"Your Highness, you're still looking!"

"Sorry! I'm leaving now, please stop fighting!"

Chen Futu belatedly realized what was happening and quickly covered his forehead before running out the door.

Damn it, nobody told him that the second floor was a women's bathhouse.

While muttering to herself, she heard someone coming upstairs, and saw Qin Liangyu carrying a bucket.

Chen Futu shuddered and said awkwardly, "You've come to bathe too?"

"What are you doing here, Your Highness? Don't you know that the second floor is the women's bathhouse?"

Qin Liangyu glanced suspiciously at the still-swaying red curtain.

Chen Futu said guiltily, "I just came here to refresh myself and wanted to find a secluded bathhouse."

"You didn't go in, did you?" Qin Liangyu raised an eyebrow, looking disdainful.

"Nonsense, do you think I'm that kind of person? I just arrived..."

Chen Futu hurriedly went to the third floor.

Qin Liangyu lifted the curtain and saw a gourd on the ground in front of the door, while Li Xiuning was squatting in the bath, covering her snow-white chest and her face with shame and indignation.

"Xiuning, did the young master come in just now?" Qin Liangyu asked.

"No."

Li Xiuning shook her head vigorously. How could she possibly admit that the Crown Prince had seen her naked?

Qin Liangyu was very clever and saw through her lie at a glance, so she said, "Have someone put up a sign that says this is a women's bath."

There is no women's bathing area in the logistics department of the pass, nor is there a special area set up for it. It seems that this rule needs to be changed in the future. After all, with the presence of the Women's Army and the White-Spear Soldiers, it would be best to build a special women's bathing area to avoid any more accidents.

"Sister Qin, are you jealous? I should have come with you. If the young master saw you naked, he would definitely pounce on you and start pounding on you."

"Shut up!"

Qin Liangyu glared at her, but Li Xiuning grinned and chuckled.

The third floor was chaotic, with blue curtains fluttering everywhere. Some people were singing songs, others were telling dirty jokes, and there was hearty laughter all around.

Chen Futu randomly chose a bathroom and saw Ma Chao and Dian Wei as soon as he entered.

Dian Wei was dark-skinned, with hair all over his chest, looking just like a gorilla. Together with Ma Chao, they seemed like a black and white duo.

Chen Futu curled his lip and said, "You two brothers arrived quite early? Why didn't I see that kid Jing Si?"

“That guy is so unsociable. Dian Wei and I went to find him, but he couldn’t be bothered to talk to us. If it weren’t for the young master’s sake, Dian Wei and I would have given him a good beating.”

Ma Chao was quite unhappy with An Jingsi.

Dian Wei scratched his head and said, "Horse, I'm not sure I can beat him. That kid is pretty strong."

Ma Chao fell silent upon hearing this.

The battle on the tundra gave him a clearer understanding of An Jingsi's combat prowess; he was indeed a little stronger than him.

In the following time, Chen Futu took a comfortable bath, and Cao Zhen and Huo Qubing also arrived.

After discussing it, Ma Chao and Huo Qubing decided to reconsider An Jingsi's position.

Chen Futu pretended not to hear, as long as they did not affect internal unity, he could turn a blind eye.

I feel completely refreshed after taking a bath.

The group walked out of the bathhouse in a noisy commotion and saw Qin Liangyu and Li Xiuning talking by the roadside from afar.

Upon seeing the person, Li Xiuning's eyebrows shot up, and she tilted her fair and delicate face up, looking like she was about to devour someone.

Chen Futu awkwardly touched his nose and shamelessly greeted him.

Li Xiuning asked sarcastically, "Young Master, did you enjoy it?"

"Ahem! Why aren't you two going back?"

"Sister Qin and I discussed going hunting later, and then having a bonfire party with the women's army and the White-Spear Army sisters to relax in the evening," Li Xiuning explained.

Huo Qubing asked, "Can we participate?"

"Sorry, we don't welcome you brave warriors."

"No, let's all have fun together."

Ma Chao also became interested.

Chen Futu asked Qin Liangyu, "I also want to participate. I just happened to have Longcheng send over some wine and meat to reward the troops."

"Your Highness may come along, but I must make it clear beforehand that no one is allowed to harass the soldiers of the White-Spear Army and the Women's Army. If I find anyone breaking the rules, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword."

Qin Liangyu coldly surveyed the crowd, and Ma Chao and the others exchanged glances and shrank back.

She is destined to be the Crown Prince's consort and the future Empress. She even dares to beat up the Crown Prince. If anyone violates her taboos, she will definitely not be lenient.

Before leaving, Qin Liangyu gave Chen Futu one last deep look, her gaze carrying a strong warning.

Chen Futu felt uneasy under her gaze. He had only accidentally wandered into the women's bathhouse and glanced at Li Xiuning's body. Was it really necessary to treat her like a thief?

Since they weren't going back to Longcheng anyway, Chen Futu and several generals changed into civilian clothes, took their swords and bows, and secretly followed Qin Liangyu and Li Xiuning's personal guards out of Longguan.

Li Xiuning glanced at the group of people who were acting suspiciously, and muttered to Qin Liangyu, "Sister Qin, the young master can't be without you for even a moment."

"Let him come if he wants, just don't bother us."

In fact, Qin Liangyu had noticed Chen Futu and his group long ago. A faint smile appeared on her lips. She didn't know why, but recently she had found the young master more and more pleasing to the eye, and even felt a strange flutter in her heart.

The nearest hunting ground to Longguan is Weiyuan, which was once the royal hunting ground established by the Daqian imperial family in the northern border. Every year on major festivals, the emperor would bring his chosen princes, princesses, concubines, and a group of civil and military officials to hunt here.

Now that the northern frontier has fallen into the hands of the Crown Prince, the walled garden has become his private property, and the royal family can forget about ever coming here again.

"Sister Qin, is it really okay for us to go to the garden like this? You didn't even tell the young master."

"The Crown Prince has tacitly agreed, so there is no need to ask him specifically."

Qin Liangyu was always a person who followed the rules, but this time she wanted to be willful.

Chen Futu and the others following behind were completely bewildered as they watched the women go.

Huo Qubing said, "Judging from the direction, you're heading to Weiyuan. This is your hunting ground now."

Chen Futu suddenly realized that he had forgotten about it if they hadn't mentioned it.

However, Qin Liangyu could go as he pleased; he didn't care at all. After all, he would spoil his own wife. Of course, this also gave him a reason to chase after her.

Soon, the group caught up with Qin Liangyu and Li Xiuning's pace.

Li Xiuning joked, "Does the young master want to hunt with us?"

"Let's make a bet," Chen Futu deliberately provoked Qin Liangyu, who calmly replied, "What does the young master want to bet on?"
