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

Dong Xian'er was just an ordinary citizen who didn't know much about military affairs, and she never expected that someone like Liang Huan would be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the western expedition.

Qin Liangyu seized the opportunity and said, "Miss Dong's deeds are known throughout the world. Although you have the Crown Princess's token, it is hard to guarantee that Liang Huan will not disobey the Crown Princess this time and take you back to the military camp. Do you know what will happen to you if you fall into his hands?"

"I……"

Dong Xian'er panicked and, disregarding the fact that her identity had been recognized, paced anxiously around the room.

After a long while, she came to her senses and asked seriously, "Miss Qin, why are you telling me this?"

"A thousand days of guarding against thieves is not as good as a one-time solution."

Qin Liangyu's few words caused Dong Xian'er to widen her beautiful eyes in shock. "You mean..."

"Scared?"

"I'm going to think about it."

Dong Xian'er was no ordinary person. She could tell that Qin Liangyu was no ordinary person from the moment she entered the room. Now, she wanted to join forces with Qin Liangyu to kill Liang Huan. This was a huge matter. If it was exposed, there would be no place for her to hide in the world.

Qin Liangyu wasn't in a hurry and patiently waited for a reply. Even if Dong Xian'er didn't agree, it didn't matter. At worst, she would use force to control Dong Xian'er and then plot against Liang Huan.

After a full half hour, Dong Xian'er finally made up her mind.

She asked, "Miss Qin, can you guarantee that there will be no future troubles? I don't want to live in fear."

"Once this matter is settled, I can take you to live elsewhere, where you will never have to worry about your lives again."

"All land under heaven belongs to the king; how can I trust you?"

"Hehe, you'll find out tonight."

Having finished discussing important matters, Qin Liangyu left without further delay, taking Luo Wushuang and Du Hongxue with her. Dong Xian'er was left alone in the room, her thoughts racing. "If there truly is a place for me in this world, it must be in the Northern Frontier. And they want to eliminate Liang Huan... could it be..."

As Dong Xian'er pondered the matter, she couldn't help but cover her red lips in astonishment.

She thought of the mighty White-Spear Soldiers, and of Qin Liangyu, the White-Spear Soldiers commander whom everyone feared.

The night is getting darker.

Dong Xian'er dismissed everyone in the Red Mansion to rest, while she changed into her finest attire and prepared tea and snacks to await the arrival of her distinguished guests.

When he was young, Chen Futu, Qin Liangyu, and others came to visit.

Dong Xian'er knelt down with a thud, bowing her head and murmuring, "This humble woman greets the Prince of Zhenbei."

Chen Futu was taken aback and looked at Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu shook her head and said, "I didn't tell her; it seems she guessed it herself."

Chen Futu suddenly realized and said, "Miss Dong, there's no need for such formalities. Please stand up and speak."

The latter raised her cheek, her delicate face captivatingly beautiful.

Chen Futu was sizing her up, and she was sizing him up too; at one moment, her pretty face even blushed slightly.

After they were seated, Dong Xian'er appeared reserved, carefully serving him a cup herself, her eyes secretly peering at him.

Chen Futu looked at her face, which was full of collagen, and was still amazed.

Liang Huan will definitely take the bait this time, because she is too beautiful. It is truly remarkable that Liang Huan has been able to resist making a move for so long.

Next, Chen Futu briefly explained his plan.

Dong Xian'er listened silently, and when Chen Futu finished speaking, she replied sweetly, "Since Your Highness has a plan, I will agree to it. I only ask that the sisters of the Red Beauty Pavilion can also return to the Northern Frontier smoothly."

Chen Futu's plan was simple: it was not advantageous to act within Pingzi City, so early tomorrow morning, Dong Xian'er could find an excuse to go out for a stroll, take the girls from the Red Beauty Pavilion with her, and then capture Liang Huan when he arrived, and leave together.

After chatting with Dong Xian'er for a few more minutes, Chen Futu left with Qin Liangyu and the others.

Dong Xian'er muttered, "This young master dared to come alone; he has both courage and wisdom. He truly deserves to be a renowned figure."

The next morning, the group went out of the city to a viewing platform three miles away.

Just to be on the safe side, Chen Futu left two personal guards in the city to gather information.

Strangely, after waiting and waiting, Dong Xian'er did not arrive. After about half a day, a guard suddenly came to deliver a message that Dong Xian'er had been detained by the county magistrate.

Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. The county magistrate received Liang Huan's secret letter in advance, instructing him to keep a close watch on Dong Xian'er, which prevented Dong Xian'er from leaving the city.

[1. Choose to let go and allow Dong Xian'er to be taken away by Liang Huan, reward with the title of "Coward"]

[2. Choose a clever strategy to rescue Dong Xian'er, then lure Liang Huan into pursuit. Reward: 3,000 garrison troops, with Liang Hongyu as the commander-in-chief, rank 8.]

[3. Choose to do it! Head to the county town, use yourself as bait, and you will be rewarded with a 3,000-strong women's army, led by Li Xiuning, with an eighth-rank official position.]

Chen Futu stared at the selection panel, speechless for a moment.

Liang Hongyu and Li Xiuning both came out.

Both Liang Hongyu and Qin Liangyu fought against northern invasions, but their time periods differed by several hundred years.

Li Xiuning was Princess Pingyang Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, the elder sister of Emperor Taizong (Li Er), the first princess of the Tang Dynasty to receive a posthumous title, and also the princess who was buried with military honors.

"I choose three!"

Chen Futu had been cooped up in the rear for too long and was itching to get back to work. Now, choosing option three was fine. He could expose himself as bait, capture Li Huan, and surely the enemy commander would personally lead a large army to pursue and kill him. In this way, Zhang Liang and his men could achieve even greater results.

The prerequisite is that they must rely on Li Xiuning's three thousand female soldiers to hold off the enemy's offensive until Zhang Liang and his men arrive.

If this battle succeeds, the East China Sea army will surely be wiped out in one fell swoop!

[Reward issued. Due to the host's special circumstances, Li Xiuning is on her way at full speed and is expected to arrive in half an hour.]

After a moment's thought, Chen Futu told Qin Liangyu his plan.

Qin Liangyu was shocked, "Your Highness, you mustn't!"

"Alright, General Qin, I will use myself as bait in this battle. If we succeed, the eastern battlefield will be safe; if we fail, we can't blame anyone else."

Chen Futu's expression was calm and composed, showing neither joy nor sorrow.

Seeing this, Qin Liangyu stopped trying to persuade her and immediately changed into armor and weapons, and put on a hideous ghost mask.

The twelve guards quickly packed their equipment, preparing for a major battle.

Half an hour later, a group of female soldiers arrived from afar.

The leading female general, with a bare face, was heroic and unrestrained, with two swords hanging at her waist, exuding a rather astonishing aura; she was none other than Li Xiuning.

Qin Liangyu was slightly surprised to see this. Her White Spear Soldiers were very strong, and the aura of these three thousand female soldiers was not much weaker. They were clearly tough guys who had experienced battles.

"This humble general, Li Xiuning, greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Xiuning dismounted to pay her respects.

Chen Futu immediately helped her up and then explained the situation to her.

Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes sharpened: "Your Highness, rest assured, our army will definitely be able to withstand the enemy's offensive."

"Ahem, if I may ask, is Madam Li married yet?"

Chen Futu couldn't help but speak up.

The main problem is that Li Xiuning's later experiences were quite tragic; it would have been better if her consciousness had come from before the turmoil in Shanxi.

It was quiet.

Li Xiuning looked puzzled, while Qin Liangyu gave her a somewhat strange look. Luo Wushuang and Du Hongxue, on the other hand, were suppressing their laughter.

With the situation so dire, has His Highness's lecherous side suddenly come out?
