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

At a banquet in Baiyujing, all the guests were in high spirits. Chen Futu discovered that Zhou Chuchu was also a wonderful person, and learned that she had a nickname called "King of Strength". If he hadn't seen her lift a 500-pound cauldron with one hand, he would have thought he was dreaming.

After the banquet, Chen Futu intended for the group to rest in Baiyujing, but Xu Guangshou and the others refused. They needed to go back to write letters and arrange for people to settle down in Daqian.

Seeing that they had things to do, Chen Futu did not insist on keeping them. However, before seeing them off, he warned Su Yun and Zhou Chuchu and the other women to be careful, since that lecherous thief Yan Wuqing had not yet left Longcheng. If they were accidentally kidnapped, it would be very bad.

Zhou Chuchu said with a charming smile, "Your Majesty is overthinking it. Even if I stand on the street, that lecherous thief wouldn't dare to touch me."

She was a noblewoman of the Invitation Moon Palace, whose master was a peerless expert who lived in seclusion. Yan Wuqing dared not touch her unless he wanted to die.

After the group left Baiyujing, a squad of elite guards escorted them back to the restaurant. No one noticed a dark figure staring intently at Su Yun in the shadows.

When the carriage arrived at the restaurant, they inquired and learned that Zhang Fan had left.

Xu Guangshou shook his head and said, "His personality means he can't integrate into the Northern Frontier. It's better that he left."

Su Yun was overjoyed. What she feared most was Zhang Fan's persistent and annoying behavior. Now, things were finally getting better.

She was staying in a room by herself. After the maid helped her to bed, she left the room. The next second, Yan Wuqing flashed to the window, then poked a hole in the window paper with her finger, and the sleeping smoke was blown into the room.

Su Yun, who was not yet fast asleep, smelled the sleeping powder and quickly fell into a coma.

"Hehe, little beauty, you've finally fallen into my hands."

Yan Wuqing laughed wildly at the dazed, beautiful face, picked her up, and climbed out the window to leave.

It was late at night, but the streets were still bustling with people. Ma Chao was riding his Jade Lion, leading a hundred Xiliang soldiers on patrol.

An hour ago, Li Yuanfang reported to the military camp that troops were being borrowed. Ma Chao heard that there were lecherous thieves hiding there, so he accepted the task.

He had initially thought it would be difficult to see Yan Wuqing, but then he caught a glimpse of a dark figure flashing across the rooftop. He was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. "Hehe, it seems like it's my turn to make a contribution!"

Ma Chao took down his bow and crossbow, leaped onto the roof, and sure enough, a dark figure was running towards the southwest carrying something.

"You lecherous thief, trying to leave?"

Ma Chao shouted, and Yan Wuqing noticed and glanced at him. In the blink of an eye, an arrowhead arrived with a terrifying whooshing sound.

"Oh no, it's a Grandmaster!"

Yan Wuqing's hair stood on end. He instinctively grabbed the arrowhead, but the arrowhead contained immense power. With an explosive aura, it tore through his protective aura and finally pierced his shoulder blade.

"How can this be!"

Yan Wuqing's face was contorted with pain.

Ma Chao shook his crossbow and sneered, "You scoundrel, you've met your grandpa Ma, why don't you surrender!"

"It's Ma Chao! What a damn bad luck!"

Yan Wuqing knew that there were countless fierce generals in Longcheng, among whom Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Huo Qubing, Dian Wei and others were all fearsome figures. Their strength far exceeded that of their peers. In other words, Ma Chao was now a Grandmaster and could fight against ordinary Grandmasters, while Dian Wei had already killed a Grandmaster assassin from the Red Moon Tower with his innate abilities.

Thinking of this, Yan Wuqing dared not linger and ran away.

"You think you can run away right under your grandfather's nose?"

Ma Chao was also fast, and he quickly caught up with Yan Wuqing in a few leaps.

The commotion was noticed by the Thousand Bull Guards and the Dragon City Guards. Li Yuanfang, carrying a knife, flew over the rooftop and cut off Yan Wuqing's path. Now Yan Wuqing is surrounded.

"You scoundrel, are you looking for death?!" Li Yuanfang drew his sword, his expression murderous.

Ma Chao said, "Old Li, why waste words with him? Watch me finish him off with one arrow!"

"You think you can kill me with just the two of you?"

With no way forward or backward, Yan Wuqing wasted no time. He leaped into the air, using his superior lightness skill to reach a height of a hundred meters and advance forward at an extreme speed.

"I told you you can't leave, here you go—"

Ma Chao unleashed a powerful arrow, piercing through Yan Wuqing's calf mid-air.

Yan Wuqing felt a sharp pain and couldn't muster any true energy, so he fell to the ground and couldn't escape very far, at most a few hundred meters away.

"General Ma's archery skills are truly exceptional; he can hit targets from such heights."

"Hehe, I bet that scoundrel can't escape."

Ma Chao was extremely smug. He put away his bow and crossbow, drew his sword, and, together with Li Yuanfang, charged back towards the place where Yan Wuqing had landed.

Chen Futu and Diao Chan watched this scene from the window of Baiyujing.

Diao Chan smiled and said, "General Ma's archery skills are unparalleled in the world."

"Indeed, but Sister Qin is no less skilled. These two can be considered among the best of the famous generals in terms of archery skills."

"Do you need my help?"

Diao Chan appears gentle and kind, but seems to be harboring some secret desires.

Chen Futu shook his head and said, "No need. You're going to catch that filthy scum. I'm afraid you'll dirty your hands. The only man you can touch in this life is me. Remember that."

puff-

Diao Chan covered her red lips and smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty, rest assured, my body and soul belong to you."

"That's pretty much it."

Chen Futu stretched out his large hand and pulled her into his arms, continuing to watch the play.

Yan Wuqing's commotion attracted the attention of more people in the martial arts world. Before long, Blood Monk, Yan Shiliu, Chen Yafu, Zhou Chuchu and others gathered around, making quite a commotion. The onlookers were all peeking and craning their necks.

Seeing that there was no way out, Yan Wuqing made a desperate decision and held the knife to the neck of the unconscious Su Yun. "If you don't move aside, I'll slit her throat!"

"It's Miss Su!"

Zhou Qingqing was horrified, while Yan Shiliu and the others were furious. "You lecherous scoundrel, how dare you lay a hand on Miss Su! Today we will skin you alive!"

"I'm a wanderer of the martial world, and all I do is enjoy beautiful women. So what?"

"Still dare to be so arrogant? Hand over Miss Su, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse."

"Bullshit! I'm not handing it over, what are you going to do about it!"

Yan Wuqing refused to yield, keeping the dagger pressed firmly against Su Yun's neck, and no one dared to make a move.

Su Yun is an unparalleled beauty on the Phoenix List. If she were to die at the hands of Yan Wuqing right under the royal court's nose, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face to the King of Northern Frontier.

At least Ma Chao and Li Yuanfang dared not make any rash moves, so the situation suddenly became deadlocked.

At this moment, a figure in moonlight suddenly appeared. It was a beautifully carved young girl. She stood under the moon with a sword in her hand. Her white clothes were elegant and aloof. It was Long Luo.

Seeing her appearance, Yan Wuqing swallowed dramatically. "Oh, where did this little beauty come from? What, you want to have some fun with me too?"

Long Luo said, "If you release her, I'll be your hostage, okay?"

"You think I'm stupid? You think I don't recognize you? Aren't you Long Luo from Zhongnan Mountain? Trying to trick me with your half-step Grandmaster cultivation? I won't fall for your trick!"
