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

Chen Futu had offerings placed at the mass burial site and held a simple memorial service.

After leaving the woods, An Jingsi, holding Liu Wei's head, asked, "Brother, what are your plans now?"

"Wait two more days, until the refugees start moving, then send the head to Liu Wendong."

What if he sends men to pursue them?

"Then tell him that Qin Liangyu has left the northern frontier and is on her way to Chuzhou. Given Liu Wendong's personality, he will definitely retreat and defend."

Chen Futu's goal from beginning to end was to plunder people. Killing Liu Wendong would bring no benefit. He was a corrupt official. With him guarding Chuzhou, it would be easy for the northern frontier to attack the Central Plains in the future. If he were killed now, it would be better to replace him with a capable official.

At this point, Chen Futu asked An Jingsi, "Has Qin Liangyu replied?"

"The message was sent out a while ago, and we expect to get back to you soon."

As soon as An Jingsi finished speaking, a soldier with white spears arrived. She said, "Your Highness, General Qin has received news that she has mobilized a large army to garrison the border. She left General Dian Wei to guard the border, and then personally led the soldiers with white spears across the Xuan River and are on their way to Chuzhou."

"Go back and tell her to make a big commotion, but not to rush on her way. Just make Liu Wendong believe that she might attack Chuzhou."

After Chen Futu gave the order, the White-Spear Soldiers hurriedly left.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. News spread that Liu Wei had been killed by refugees and that Liu Wendong had mobilized the garrison to seek revenge on the refugees. People were in a state of panic. With Chen Futu secretly fueling the flames, the people flocked to the northern frontier in droves.

"Your Highness, Liu Wendong has led five thousand garrison troops out of the city!"

A guard came to deliver a message.

Ding!

[Host detected executing a population plundering plan; the spread of news of Liu Wei's death has enraged Liu Wendong, who now intends to hunt down the refugees.]

[1. Choosing to turn a blind eye and allow refugees to be killed will reward you with the title "Bloodthirsty Slaughter." Wearing this title will grant the entire army a Bloodlust effect, increasing combat power by 10%.]

[2. Choose to confront Liu Wendong and reveal your identity to draw his attention; the reward will be upgraded to the peak of Rank 8.]

[3. Choose to "present a gift" to Liu Wendong, seize the opportunity to break through the enemy formation, and block their pursuit. The reward is a top-quality war mount, Red Hunt.]

【Red Hunt, an upgraded war steed of the Ferghana horse from the Western Regions. It is more robust than ordinary horses and has exceptional abilities in all aspects. Its coat is as red as blood and has no other colors. It is a born king.】

"Red Hunt?"

Chen Futu's heart skipped a beat, and he revealed a look of wild joy.

The current mount, Wuzhui, belongs to the Prime Minister of Western Zhao. Although it is also a fine horse, it is definitely not as good as the one rewarded by the system.

"I choose three."

[The Red Hunt has been dispatched to the Purple Bamboo Forest in the east. Please go there to collect it as soon as possible.]

Chen Futu asked An Jingsi to wait a moment, and then entered the Purple Bamboo Forest alone.

Then a large, strong, crimson warhorse came galloping proudly through the woods.

Its physique was much larger than that of an ordinary BMW, and its fur, under the sunlight, looked as if it were painted with crimson flames, making it extremely mysterious.

Hong Shou ran up to Chen Futu and affectionately rubbed his face against him.

The warhorses rewarded by the system will always have maximum loyalty, so there's no need to spend time cultivating the bond between rider and horse, and they are also more human-like.

Chen Futu stroked its fur; the smooth texture was comparable to touching the finest silk. Moreover, it obediently knelt down, and once Chen Futu mounted it, it swung its four hooves and charged out like a red storm.

"Cool!"

The Red Hunt's strength and vision advantage far surpass what ordinary warhorses can provide.

On the battlefield, the superior vantage point and the greater impact deliver a destructive effect comparable to a level increase in strength!

For the next fifteen minutes, Chen Futu thoroughly experienced the top-tier war mount, and the experience was unparalleled.

After a long while, Chen Futu rode back to the camp. An Jingsi stared at Hong Shou with wide eyes.

Chen Futu's fierce generals all possessed prized horses, among which Red Hare and Jade Lion were particularly famous.

An Jingsi naturally had his own fine steeds, but he had a habit of riding one horse while charging into battle, with two bodyguards following him on two horses. This made it easier to switch horses when the other horse was exhausted. Therefore, he lacked a warhorse that could truly support his strength.

Chen Futu looked at An Jingsi's fanatical eyes and was momentarily conflicted.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded again.

[An Jing's intention to participate in the Red Hunt has been detected. Please make a choice, host.]

[1. If you choose to bestow the Red Hunt upon An Jingsi, An Jingsi's combat strength will be comparable to that of a late-stage Grandmaster when he is in a state of Qi stagnation. The host will be rewarded with the peerless war mount, Dragon Scale.]

[2. If you choose to reject An Jingsi, An Jingsi's loyalty will remain unchanged, but he will subconsciously associate the host with Li Keyong, who executed him, and will reward the host with the power of the Five Tigers.]

"Damn, does An Jingsi have the characteristics of Lu Bu?"

Hearing the system's selection prompts, Chen Futu broke out in a cold sweat.

“Red Hunt is a top-grade war mount, and Dragonscale is a peerless war mount. It seems that peerless is better, so I choose one.”

Although Chen Futu was somewhat reluctant to part with the Red Hunt that he hadn't even had a chance to warm up yet, the strength of the Five Tigers was not as good as getting a peerless war steed, and the Dragon Scale sounded very heroic and domineering.

[Choose successfully]

[The dragon scale contains a trace of dragon blood, making it a perfect war steed, worthy of being called a divine steed. It is born with the appearance of a dragon, possessing an imperial aura, and looking down upon the world.]

[The Dragon Scale will be distributed after the host returns to Dragon City.]

"No, I want it now."

Chen Futu was itching to get his hands on the divine steed, but unfortunately the system didn't respond at all. It seemed he could only go back and admire the divine steed properly.

However, this battle is basically over. With An Jingsi from Red Hunt, their combat power will only become more terrifying.

“Brother, come here. These are some peerless steeds that I just acquired. Why don’t you give them a try?”

Chen Futu smiled and waved to An Jingsi.

The latter was taken aback, then hurriedly stepped forward, his face full of excitement, "Brother, you, you want to bestow it upon your foolish younger brother?"

"Since ancient times, a fine horse has been a match for a hero. With this Red Hunting horse, you won't need to bring many other warhorses when charging into battle."

Chen Futu handed the horse reins to An Jingsi.

An Jingsi didn't take the reins, but instead knelt down on one knee with a thud, his face serious. "Brother thanks you, sworn brother. I will serve you to the death!"

A warhorse is a general's second life, and every general dreams of owning a good horse, and An Jingsi is no exception.

He was very serious when he said that, especially since his loyalty level was already at its maximum.

Chen Futu smiled and helped him up, saying, "You get a precious steed, and I get an unparalleled warrior. Go and give it a try."

"Thank you, Brother Xie."

An Jingsi excitedly took the reins and looked at the bright red hunting dog's fur, he was very fond of it.

The Red Hunting Crow is very perceptive and could sense that An Jingsi was very strong, so it let out a high-pitched neigh.

Next, An Jingsi rode her horse back and forth, laughing like a child.

This was the peerless warhorse he had always dreamed of.

With the Red Hunting Horse, he could charge alone without fear that his warhorse would be exhausted from the exertion of Yu Wangshuo.

Chen Futu watched from the sidelines, feeling somewhat uneasy, but with the Dragon Scale, there was nothing more to say, especially since An Jingsi was about to charge into battle.

"Brother, I've heard you enjoy charging into battle alone. Would you dare come with me to meet Liu Wendong?" Chen Futu asked with a smile.

An Jingsi tightened the reins, his heroic spirit soaring, his tiger eyes blazing with fury, "Brother, a mere ragtag bunch of soldiers, I alone on horseback can crush them!"
