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

"Generals Qin and Li are both outstanding women who do not like to be pretentious. If you fight this brave man and can last three moves against him, I promise to introduce you to the two generals." Chen Yuling, sitting in the main seat, suppressed a laugh and echoed.

She was a clever little devil, and knowing that Chen Futu planned to select promising talents from the younger generation, she simply went along with it.

Dong Xian'er, who was standing to the side, also noticed Chen Futu's thoughts and chuckled with her red lips pursed.

A young nobleman stood up indignantly and rebuked Dian Wei: "Both of you generals are indeed outstanding women, and we all admire you. We have no intention of disrespecting you. You are truly beautiful and virtuous ladies, the object of every gentleman's affection."

"If you don't dare, then don't dare. Stop talking nonsense." Dian Wei put one hand behind his back, while the other hand was still gnawing on a roast goose.

"Vulgar, crude!"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"Can't we even think about it?"

Chen Futu was greatly disappointed by the young master's performance. Not one of them dared to stand up; all he did was talk big.

Just then, a young man in a corner, whose clothes were not particularly fancy, stood up.

As soon as he got up, chaos erupted at the scene.

Chen Futu looked at Chen Yuling suspiciously, and Chen Yuling understood and asked about his identity.

"Haha, he is the son of a merchant from Jiuyuan, named Deng Han."

"It's him. I heard he has some martial arts skills and fought bandits on his trade routes. He's always wanted to join the army, but his father won't let him."

"Look at his skinny arms and legs, he shouldn't embarrass himself."

The young noblemen knew quite a bit about Deng Han, and Chen Futu listened attentively while toying with his wine glass.

Deng Han stepped off the stage with a hint of timidity, then bowed and greeted the mountain of flesh-like Dian Wei, saying, "I would like to learn from your skills, brave warrior."

"Are you sure? I'm afraid I'll slap you to death."

"I only want to see if I am qualified to join the army."

Deng Han's expression was one of awe, and his words were full of reverence; at least his attitude was much better than that of the other young noblemen.

Someone jeered, "What military qualifications? In my opinion, you just have ulterior motives towards the two generals."

"Does he deserve it? I doubt General Qin would even give him a second glance."

The crowd laughed.

Qin Liangyu was renowned far and wide; everyone knew she was the prince's most trusted general, and he would take her with him on every campaign.

It is no exaggeration to say that Qin Liangyu's prestige in the Northern Frontier was second only to Chen Futu. She was the undisputed female war goddess in the hearts of the people of the Northern Frontier, a feat that even the strategist Zhang Liang could not match.

Dian Wei brandished the roast goose and said to Deng Han, "Come on, attack with all your might."

"I have offended you."

Deng Han took a stance and launched a fierce attack.

To be honest, he looked timid and submissive, but the moment he made a move, his aura completely changed, even becoming somewhat fierce.

Dian Wei met the fierce punch headfirst.

With a dull thud, Deng Han staggered backward from the headbutt, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Everyone burst into laughter. "See? He can't even beat someone without using his hands, and he still wants to join the army?"

Chen Yuling couldn't laugh. Others might not know how formidable Dian Wei was, but she knew it very well.

Chen Futu had told her that among all the fierce generals in the Northern Frontier, Guan Yu and Dian Wei were the strongest, followed by Chen Mao, the veteran general of Longguan, and finally Qin Liangyu, Li Xiuning, and others.

For a somewhat frail young man to dare to fight against the most elite fighting force in the Northern Frontier, that courage alone is something that ordinary people do not possess.

"Come again!"

Deng Han was a ruthless person; he shook his hand and continued his attack.

This is the second trick!

Dian Wei didn't hesitate either, continuing to headbutt Deng Han's elbow strike. As expected, Deng Han was knocked away again.

Dian Wei grinned and said, "He has some talent and commendable courage. With a little training, he might become a promising talent."

Deng Han stood there, feeling as if his elbow had split open. His expression turned serious, and his aura rose steadily.

Some people complained: "Stop trying to hold on, you can't win anyway."

"You're already in such a sorry state after just two moves. That man didn't even use his hands. You're no match for him."

"kill!"

Deng Han made another move, and this time the attack took everyone by surprise.

Dian Wei overestimated himself and tried to use his headbutt again, but Deng Han dodged it and climbed onto Dian Wei's back like a monkey, punching him wildly in the head.

Chen Futu clicked his tongue in amazement, "This kid is quite clever..."

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Dian Wei tried to shake off the man, but Deng Han held on tightly and took the opportunity to deliver more than a dozen punches.

Such a dense barrage of attacks on the head would have knocked down an ordinary person long ago, but Dian Wei was a peak innate expert with unparalleled physical strength and an iron-like body. Deng Han's attacks were merely tickling him.

The situation reached a stalemate. Dian Weiteng didn't make a move, but instead took a big bite of the roast goose and cursed, "You brat, get down here now!"

"No!"

"Fine, fine, you brought this on yourself."

Dian Wei's expression hardened, and he suddenly raised his head.

Click!

His head slammed into Deng Han's face. Deng Han screamed in agony, blood streaming from his nose, his cheekbone almost cracking. Yet he didn't let go; instead, he tightened his grip on Dian Wei's neck.

The Miaoyin Garden was completely silent; everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment and fear.

"It's just a competition, it can't be that serious!"

"Yes, that's terrifying."

The crowd whispered among themselves, glancing at the crazed Deng Han, their expressions gradually changing.

Dian Wei, who was being held by the neck, was in some discomfort. As soon as he stepped on the ground, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out from his body. A powerful and domineering blood aura spread out. Deng Han was hit so hard that blood flowed from his seven orifices. However, even at this moment, he still did not let go and strangled Deng Han with all his might. He was not a weak scholar at all. He was clearly a desperate man.

"Alright, you've passed."

Seeing that Deng Han's injuries were too severe, Chen Futu immediately called a halt.

Upon hearing this, Deng Han let go, then sat down heavily on the ground, panting heavily, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, a truly gruesome sight.

Dian Wei touched the bloodstains on his head and said with a complicated expression, "You're a simpleton, but you're also a tough nut to crack. I'm impressed."

People like Deng Han will not yield to weakness; instead, they will seek every opportunity to defeat their enemies. If properly trained, they can be of great use.

"Good fight!"

Chen Yuling clapped excitedly, and when she stood up, the others could only clap in agreement.

Chen Futu gestured and said, "A-Ling, this boy is not bad. You should keep your promise and call General Qin."

"Hehe, I'll send someone to invite him right away."

Since her older brother had spoken, Chen Yuling didn't want to waste any more time. If she remembered correctly, Qin Liangyu happened to be on leave at home today.

Chen Futu summoned Qin Liangyu solely to make a statement.

Anyone with ability will be valued by the top leadership in the northern border region. Don't spend your days indulging in superficial elegance and doing those flashy things.

"Oh my god, General Qin is coming!"

“I’m so excited!”

"General Qin is the goddess of my dreams."

"You dare to disrespect her? General Qin is the Goddess of War of the Northern Frontier. You all need to be more careful and not be disrespectful to the Goddess of War!"

Hearing that Qin Liangyu was coming, the younger generation present were all excited, as they would finally be able to see their idol up close.
